Chapter 397: The Origin of the An Surname, A Figure on the River of Destiny
Seeing An Shengtian's anxious expression, Gu An's smile faded as he said, "You can only live until the age of twenty-five."
With these words, An Shengtian's face paled.
Over the years, his cultivation had progressed rapidly, giving him hope. But now, being told he could only live until twenty-five, how could he accept it? Jiang Shi was equally startled. He couldn't see any issues with An Shengtian, but he wouldn't question Gu An's judgment.
Jiang Shi hurriedly asked, "Master, is there no solution? Can't cultivation change fate?"
Gu An replied, "There is. You must sever the cause and effect, as well as the bloodline connection with An Hao. By doing so, from now on, the An Clan will forget you, as if you had never been born into their world. However, those unrelated to the An Clan will still remember you."
An Shengtian froze, and Jiang Shi was shocked. What kind of method was this?
The moment Jiang Shi recalled that Gu An was Fudu Sword Lord, he calmed down, while An Shengtian became curious about Gu An's true identity.
"If that's what it takes, I'm willing!" An Shengtian clenched his teeth.
Although his resentment towards An Hao had lessened under Jiang Shi's guidance over the years, he still didn't approve of An Hao in his heart.
In his eyes, An Hao's bloodline was not something to be proud of; instead, it was a source of shame.
Gu An said, "Think about your deceased father and grandfather, as well as your mother and sister. They will all forget you."
An Shengtian opened his mouth but couldn't be as decisive as before.
Gu An asked Jiang Shi to make tea for him; he wanted to see how An Shengtian would choose.
Jiang Shi wanted to interject, but he understood that Gu An's request for tea was a signal for him to stay out of it.
An Shengtian clenched his fists, his mind filled with memories of his family.
Unwilling to accept this!
Why should I?
Suddenly, An Shengtian wanted to accept his fate, just like the two words An Hao had left behind.
Accept fate!
But when he thought of his father and grandfather's deep-rooted grudge, he couldn't convince himself.
Without powerful cultivation, how could he protect his living family?
Just as Gu An was about to pick up the tea Jiang Shi had prepared, An Shengtian suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "Sever! I must sever! I need to become stronger. Even if they forget me, I must have enough strength to protect them. As long as I remember them, that's enough!"
A glimmer of relief flashed in Gu An's eyes. At least for now, An Shengtian was thinking more about protecting his family than seeking revenge.
He didn't oppose An Shengtian's desire for revenge, but he didn't want the young man's life goal to be solely focused on vengeance.
Gu An finished the tea and stood up. His gaze fell upon An Shengtian.
A golden light began to emanate from the golden pattern on his forehead, as if an eye had appeared there, startling both An Shengtian and Jiang Shi.
Boom!
The surrounding scene changed abruptly, and the two of them no longer saw the furnishings in the pavilion. Instead, they found themselves in a surreal and eerie space.
Instinctively, they turned their heads, but nothing was discernible. Still, their hearts were inexplicably anxious.
Gu An picked up the Destiny Pen and pointed it at An Shengtian.
An Shengtian had seen the Destiny Pen before and hadn't taken it seriously, but at this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of terror from it.
Jiang Shi shared this sentiment, and when he looked at the crown on Gu An's head, he also sensed something extraordinary.
Could his master be a treasure trove of treasures?
Jiang Shi's eyes were filled with awe and fervor, and he couldn't wait to kneel and pay his respects to his master.
Practicing with such a powerful master made him feel incredibly fortunate!
"Are you ready, An Shengtian?" Gu An asked expressionlessly, causing An Shengtian's throat to quiver.
"I forgot to tell you, the 'An' in your family name is taken from my name. Even if the An family forgets you, as long as you follow me, you will never be separated from the An family." Gu An's words caused An Shengtian to widen his eyes in disbelief.
Dao Support Sword Lord!
An Shengtian felt a surge of surprise, just as he was about to speak, Gu An suddenly waved his brush, and with a single stroke, An Shengtian was struck as if by lightning, freezing in place.
His face turned pale, and he wanted to speak, but couldn't.
He could feel something leaving him, no, abandoning him!
An overwhelming sense of loneliness washed over him, and he found himself in a state of unprecedented fear, his eyes involuntarily bursting with tears.
At this moment, he felt like a lost child, wanting to crouch down and hug himself.
"If your talent is not as good as Hao'er, can your will surpass his?"
Gu An's voice rang out, like a ray of dawn dispelling the darkness in An Shengtian's heart.
An Shengtian raised his eyes, and there stood Gu An and Jiang Shi in front of him. Jiang Shi's face was filled with worry, as if he was saying something, but An Shengtian couldn't hear him.
His gaze fell upon Gu An, who looked at him calmly.
For some reason, he didn't feel distant; instead, he felt a sense of power.
I cannot let Master's expectations down!
An Shengtian clenched his teeth, suppressing the negative emotions in his heart. His whole body trembled as if he were in a cold cellar.
Just then, Gu An's eyebrows furrowed, and with a slight shift of his right foot, a burst of demonic energy erupted, swiftly enveloping the surrounding space.
Jiang Shi turned his head, looking at Gu An with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
Gu An remained silent, waiting for An Shengtian's cause and effect to be stripped away.
"Changing the fate of those entangled by the Heavenly Dao's cause and effect, are you not afraid of its backlash?"
A cold voice echoed from beyond the demonic energy, startling Jiang Shi, who quickly turned around.
How could there be someone here?
Gu An looked up, his gaze piercing through the demonic energy, across the void, and into another mysterious and dark space. There, a river radiated a seven-colored glow, its source and end unseen.
The River of Destiny!
At this moment, a figure stood upon the River of Destiny.
The person's body shimmered with silver light, revealing only their silhouette.
Gu An couldn't see through their true form, but he could sense that they had locked onto his position.
He had already used the Extreme Dao's Illusory Body, making the surrounding space impossible to perceive, so he wasn't worried.
Moreover, the River of Destiny was incredibly distant from him, and the other party was only sending a message, with no intention of descending into the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
"Are you kindly reminding me, or do you intend to stop me?" Gu An asked.
The voice of the silver-light figure replied, "Of course, it's a reminder. I drift within the River of Destiny and cannot descend into the world. Rest assured, I can see that you have embarked on the Path of Cause and Effect. One day, we will meet, and I will await you on the River of Destiny."
Gu An seemed to think of something, his expression becoming peculiar. He continued, "May I ask for your name?"
"I have no Dao name, only a mortal name, and I believe no one knows me. My name is Lu Qiu Xian."
Upon hearing the name, Gu An fell silent.
Jiang Shi, on the other hand, dared not even breathe.
The River of Destiny!
The Path of Cause and Effect!
And Lu Qiu Xian!
It all sounded terrifying. Was this the world of the Immortal Dao realm?
As Jiang Shi was shocked, an unprecedented ambition was born within him.
One day, he too would go to the River of Destiny!
