No matter what a Gu master does or doesn't, they always leave an 'register.'

During those past days where he has been Cultivating, unknowingly he has been spied by an over dozen of investigative methods.

All those methods have been compiled and stored into the 'Investigation palace' of the Ma tribe.

There was an old man writing patiently, while taking small breaks taking small sips of a tea.

The book he used was naturally no simple, it was a bookworm rank 1 Gu, which could store multiple contents of information.

And he wrote through their contents, and annexes, key quotes and the info sources on those books.

His methods were naturally not simple, his seemingly simple 'writing', was actually a method of compilation and deduction of information!

With his rank 1 pencil Gu, he constantly wrote and inferred certain contents and constantly wrote up and added new information which complemented his other sources.

Then, he began to split the information on 'sources' and certain databooks.

One to the Gu's he likely has, one to the movements he made, one to the personality he has shown on the past days and other various pieces of info.

A thin green aura surged on one of his strokes, he hit the blank paper with a piece of fresh dark ink, which took shape and shape.

It changed of words and meaning the more you looked at it.

The reason of its constant change of 'impulses', its because the ink is trying to showcase multiple possible scenarios.

When the ink becomes stable and it no longer changes, is when you finally arrive at a successful 'deduction.'

To reach this point you must use dozens if no hundreds of databases and multiple strokes made with this peculiar ink to arrive at a certain result.

Obviously it must be done with care.

After all, there's a limited space on each book, if the user tries to add useless contents just to diversify and add complexities for the sake of it, when the page is filled and no conclusion is arrived, all else would have been pointless.

This was an art at the end of the day, like writing or painting and it had to be treated with the same respect than them.

...

The time passed, the old man threw over a hundred of 'strokes' filling the page fully.

He was completely exhausted and fell to his knees, the process of investigation was truly too hard for his mind.

That was due to the diversity of methods he used with their own complexity and difficulty.

If a Wisdom Gu master did a deduction they'd normally use something to extrapolate more information, for example, if they try to investigate a certain flame they'd expand their divine senses to perceive over a thousand of flames.

They'd investigate their shapes, temperatures, movements, and how they interact with their surrounds before arriving at a conclusion.

All while using their 'divine conscience' to constantly alter and manipulate their 'tests' to fit their needs, their mind process was like a literal brainstorm which constantly befell on their experimental subjects, until they realized the principal clue of information.

Whilst an Information path Gu master to 'deduce' would normally use extraordinary methods to 'recollect' this info, but, as Ma Xuan Hin was simply too important for his role as the brain-force of the Tribe he simply couldn't go for it himself.

Thus, instead of using the best-easiest method, he used the second best alternative.

To gather the clues other have gathered for him and let the 'ink' and pencil do the work for him, to be guided by the info, and follow its clues.

Without being partial nor biased towards certain possibilities, but without being taken completely by those Gu's at the end, despite everything, this was a process of trial and error.

At the end examining possibilities, gathering clues and granting them meaning was the specialty of information path.

...

Finally, during those same 6 days, Dio used to Cultivate to the peak stage of rank 1, Ma Xuan Hin arrived at a conclusion, there was a little poem written by him:

"The certain and uncertain, those two variables surround the world around us in unspeakable ways, those two founded their way on Dio.

This Destiny dragged him to the Northern Plains where he awakened his Extreme Physique aperture.

Dio, the man surrounded by an aurora of mystery, Luck and Disaster, life and death, contradictions fill this double-faced man.

This same Luck and Destiny are both trying to drag him towards Blood Sea Ancestor, but at the end who can tell what will truly happen?"

...

Ma Xuan Hin looked at its contents over a hundred of times, and he had also made a dozen of similar poems during this last night.

At the end, this was the conclusion he ended up with.

Ma Xuan Hin frowned.

"Certain and Uncertain...

I'm not quite sure but I think it speaks of Luck and Fate which based on the Legends of Ren Zu forms Destiny Gu.

Anyway, moving to the next phrase 'those plains.'

This means that he most likely wasn't born on this region, and that here, he awakened his aperture.

That isn't too strange, after all, we've already very suspicious that he already received one of the minor inheritances of Blood Sea Ancestor.

As for being a liar and a deceitful, that is pretty much a given for a Demonic gu master such as him, so I'm not all impressed, likely life and death & Luck and Disaster represent this.

Basically he receives benefits from the corpse of people he has killed, and likely he has robbed or killed hundreds to reach his current state.

Finally, the last phrase speaks about the slim possibility of him actually getting one of the true inheritances of Blood Sea Ancestor, which is more worrisome.

..."

He made a huge analysis for a whole until he finally sighed and said.

"He likely holds the Extreme Aperture; The Careless Children of Disaster and Fortune..."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

After Ren Zu successfully recovered his 'Self Gu', many doubts and questions filled his head.

"I already took of bite of Strength and Wisdom Gu, I wonder, if I were to take a bite of that sweet 'Freedom' Gu, would I be able to escape Fate Gu's arrangements?"

His questions were normal, at the end humans are greedy no matter how much they get, they always ask for more, besides, Ren Zu's final goal was to destroy Fate and become truly free.

When his thoughts were flashing, he saw upon him and unbelievable sight.

"FREEDOM!" He shouted, Ren Zu had finally 'found', Freedom Gu.

His daughter Carefree Wisdom Heart and Great Strength, True Martial turned their heads.

The son glanced at another Gu however, his eyes were captive by a Gu whose radiance made him at first feel curiosity, then admiration, and finally reverence.

He tried to take the first step in, but he gritted his teeth and thought.

"No, I am strong and I hold my own pride, how can I bow or fall before anyone?

My pride Gu won't ever let me!

I Great Strength, will never succumb to you!"

The Gu chuckled to the arrogance of this junior.

"Foolish, foolish, foolish.

You truly are hopeless, even when you're in front of me, you're unable to recognize me?

Yes, you may be strong, but you're not pure and utter Strength as I am.

Who am I?

I am of course Strength Gu.

My light is brighter than anything and everyone, it fills the skies and the seas, with eternal radiance.

Be it knowledge or longevity, they all have no choice but to bow before me, regardless of who it is, I'm unstoppable."

Great Strength True Martial gasped heavily, his jaw fell and he was completely aghast.

After the initial surprise he then said.

"You, before the coldest of winters, or the hottest of deserts, be it on the passage of time, you still, stand the most dazzling one.

Nobody can hold a candle to you, the almighty one!"

Great Strength finally succumbed and bowed before the Gu.

Then, after paying his respects he began to walk towards it on an attempt to witness more of his shine, and perhaps even touch it.

"Don't listen to them, brother.

They're not the real Strength Gu, you're being fooled by, by..."

Carefree Wisdom Heart tried to warn her brother, but, she was also held captive by an even more beautiful shine.

Wisdom Gu!

Every of Wisdom's actions were carefree and restrained and elegant, it was truly marvelous to see such a beautiful existence.

At the end, they're all caught on the scheme of three Gu's.

Desires, Lies and Wisdom Gu.

When those three cooperate fully, nobody can escape from their grasp.

Those with a strong sense of self, and who believe on their goals have a 'desire', the greater the desire the harder it is to resist their ambitions.

Only the prideful is unable to bow, at least not without Lie Gu's interference.

This Gu fools them into giving into the lie and gives them extra reasons to do so, thus, trapping even the prideful.

Finally, those who see through the lies and are able to control their desires, are finally caught in by Wisdom.

Who, even those among scholars can reject Wisdom, the pursue of knowledge?

No one, desires, lies and a schemeful mind, ensure that anyone will be trapped by a proper Lie.

The three were fooled by three different 'tales', and before they realized they began to pursue their ambitions.

Restlessly, without another care on the world.

They're so careless that they shattered many of the walls of the Qian Xun Crystal walls.

While they moved, they pierced their flesh, ripped apart many of their tendons, shattered many of their bones, but, still they perserved.

At the end, amongst the pain and suffering they woke up.

Still, they didn't want to give in!

Even at death's door they still followed their ambitions.

Yes, they may be false and they may know that, perhaps an ethereal illusion, but so what?

They already lost so much and they're clinging on the hopes of finding some success Gu.

Without realizing they fell before 'Sunk Cost Gu.'

Among the pain and suffering of the three, which all hoped for a 'miracle', something that could save them, that could help them achieve their dreams.

Inside their hearts, a new creature was born.

Their unison feeling, created three golden stars which fell on Ren Zu's body, from within a tiny kid appeared.

He was standing on a golden, lucky star.

The kid was sleeping soundly, without a care on the world.

Slowly, he opened his eyes, he glanced at his surrounds.

"Are you my father?"

He glanced at Ren Zu.

Then, he tilted his head lightly, noticing he was pursuing something.

After looking at his brother and sister, he noticed they're doing the same.

"Hah, I see, see.

We're all playing catch game?

Tee-hee, it sounds fun.

Count me in!"

The kid tilted his body lightly, the star began to change of direction, towards Desire Gu.

But, by a mere fluke, he sneezed and fell from the lucky star, immediately falling on top of Lies Gu.

"Got 'cha."

The kid said happily.

Then, he began to play with Lies Gu touching and examining like a toy.

Lies Gu gritted its teeth, it tried to fool the child by changing of shape.

"Are you food?

Give me, give me."

He touched his stomach and then bit down Lies Gu.

Lies Gu screamed, then it pushed the kid out of its body.

"Augh." The kid was pushed towards one of the walls, and fell a sharp pain on his back.

The child looked at its surrounds, upon noticing Lies Gu was gone he began to cry.

"Is gone, is gone!

Where is my food, where is my food?

Food, food, I want!

His golden tears, fell on the gaps of many crystals.

Hitting Wisdom Gu which was hiding on one of those cracks.

The lucky tears, paralyze Wisdom Gu.

"Huh?"

Careless Children of Luck and Disaster grabs the Gu.

"I found something cute, is yours, bro?"

He glances at his brother, Great Strength True Martial.

The kid throws it towards him, but right before he stumbles and hits Carefree Wisdom Heart instead.

"..." Ren Zu.

"..." Carefree Wisdom Heart.

"..." Great Strength True Martial.

After a long pause.

"Good job!" Ren Zu shouts proudly.

Whilst his son, Great Strength True Martial nods and says weakly.

"Y...yes I admit it, your ability...

Was higher than mine this time, you did what no one of us could!"

...

"Keep doing whatever you've been doing, so far!" Carefree Wisdom Heart says from the background.

The golden kid smiles happily he extends his arms.

"I'm so happy to have such a nice family!"

After saying those words, three bolts of a golden aura hit the three without them even realizing, before they noticed, their lucks were now all tangled with each other.

Ren Zu goes with his 9 children and goes to pat him and praise him, while he's walking he finds Desires Gu on the ground.

Great Strength True Martial frowns lightly.

"Hey, why I'm the only one who hasn't a caught a Gu yet?"

At the end, Lies Gu which was orbiting behind him, collapses due to the wounds on one of his wings by the Careless Children of Fortune and Disaster's bite.

Falling right on his palm.

"...We actually caught the three?

How?"

The three thought to themselves, but still they laughed heartly.

They glanced at the kid with respect and admiration on their expressions.

With a wide and radiant smile the children says.

"First round is over.

Now, is your time to catch..."

With a flicker of his hands, he releases the three Gu's.

Ren Zu and his son and daughter turned their heads and said.

"What did you said?"

Suddenly, the three Gu's escaped far from their grasp.

Ren Zu was the first to react, he tried to pursue the Gu's but he was caught by a golden chain.

He glanced with disbelief at his new son.

"Son, what are you doing?

Let me go, those are Gu's are gonna escape...

Let me go, please...Please..."

Ren Zu fell to his knees, his hopes were decreasing steadily by each second.

Tears fell on his cheeks.

"I need those Gu's for my mission, to revive many of your brother and sister, we need to destroy Fate!"

...

The golden children smiled devilishly.

"But, where is the fun in that?

Missions, life purposes?

I don't want that!

I'll have fun for a while, for ten years at least.

...

Besides, I am the Children of Disaster and Fortune, as I was born from your burning Hope in your heart, but also the reality and disaster around you.

Anything I win, it will go like the wind after a brief moment, but isn't that funnier?

Imagine it, play a thousand of games, on a thousand of games, how fun will that be?

Sometimes we'll be weak, sometimes strong, sometimes we'll be poor, sometimes rich.

A million of games and scenarios, just imagine it, endless fun!

Without having to worry about consequences, for all eternity!"

On that moment, Ren Zu, and his daughter and son realized of the true nature of the ninth descendant of Ren Zu.

Whimsical, egoistical and childish, those words described the child perfectly.

And that was normal.

Luck was on itself, constantly 'orbiting' around the user's desire and mind.

If you aimed for wealth, good luck will grant you wealth.

But, isn't that simple.

A person holds many desires within their hearts, perhaps sometimes they feel love towards someone, and perhaps sometimes hate.

If you're for example give such a tremendous luck to a rebellious child, he, would create a myriad of disasters around him.

After all, even though he loves his parents, he naturally gets mad at the slightest of issues, when they try to force him to wash his dishes or go to school they get mad.

If you're to give a tremendous good luck to them, what would happen?

Disaster, death and chaos!

Even if they felt regret, the deed is already done and there's no point on regretting things anyway.

That is why, a tremendous good luck isn't always positive for such kind of people...

...

As for those who hold the Children of Disaster and Fortune physique?

Well, they hold a different Fate.

At the point their aperture explodes, there will be a huge, golden tornado which will attract everything they have ever wished for.

If they wish for wealth a mountain of Primeval Stones will fall upon them.

If they wanted for beauties, then, a stampede of them will fall upon him and will trample upon him until his death.

Then, when his corpse is already at the point of collapse, the golden tornado will vanish and pulverize everything and anything within it.

And it will be gone with the wind, leaving nothing behind.
