57 Chapter 56 The Conspiracy of Heaven's Will

The appearance of this Gu insect is no different from before, still a delicate mask as thin as a cicada's wing, lying quietly in Zhou Ming's palm.

Like the previous Gu insect, this Gu insect was also naturally refined by Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming activated the Gu insect and tried its effect, and gradually his eyes were filled with surprise.

This Gu insect not only conceals the aura of a Gu Master, making it appear lower than their actual cultivation level, but it can also disguise itself as a higher cultivation level!

For example, at this moment, Zhou Ming exudes the aura of a Rank 5 Gu Master!

That was the aura Zhou Ming had once sensed when he had the privilege of meeting the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Qitian, who was also the only Rank 5 Gu Master in the Zhou family.

Knowing the cultivation level is a prerequisite for using the Deceiver Gu to disguise oneself.

"Disguise, deception, so that's how it is!" Zhou Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This Gu insect sacrificed the ability of the original Deceiver Gu to disguise one's appearance and voice, in exchange for an enhancement in the ability to disguise one's aura.

Perhaps this is the compensation given to Zhou Ming by fate?

After experiencing the contrast of forcibly taking the World Tree leaf, Zhou Ming suddenly felt as if he had gained immense benefits.

"Did I just get seduced by the will of heaven?"

This thought suddenly emerged in his mind, making Zhou Ming feel nauseated, and he fiercely raised his middle finger towards the sky.

"Damn!"

Putting away the Solitary House Gu, Zhou Ming mounted the Azure Wolf and hurried towards the direction of his family.

The Azure Wolf was rented from the family and had been tied up in the livestock pen of the Solitary House Gu since last night. For Zhou Ming, who had spent a month in the plot world, it was just an instant in the Gu world. The night he slept after returning to the main god space was synchronized with the time in the Gu world.

"The likelihood of my talent reaching the Ten Extreme Physique is too high, and it's highly possible that it will happen when I advance to Rank 3. So I must prepare early to deal with this terrible situation."

On the way back, Zhou Ming's brain was working frantically, attempting to find a method to solve his problem from the Gu insects in the Gu world and the exchange list of the main god.

"If I were to become a Ten Extreme Physique when advancing to Rank 3, there's a chance I might explode and die on the spot due to the vulnerability of my aperture during the advancement."

"If there are Gu insects that can lower my talent, that would be ideal. For example, the Yin-Yang Transformation Gu. Although the powerful effect of the Ten Extreme Physique will gradually restore the lowered talent, at least it can buy me the time I need the most."

"If I can't obtain Gu insects that lower talent, then Gu insects with special effects like the Stone Aperture Gu would be helpful. It turns the aperture into a solid stone, capable of withstanding the immense pressure of a hundred percent primeval essence oppression."

The Stone Aperture Gu is a Rank 3 Gu insect. Its function is to completely consume the foundation and potential of the aperture, allowing the Gu Master to instantly reach the pinnacle of their current realm.

For example, if a Gu Master who has just advanced to Rank 3 uses the Stone Aperture Gu, their cultivation will instantly reach the peak of Rank 3.

However, the cost is that the aperture wall becomes a hardened stone wall, losing the possibility of further advancement in cultivation. It becomes a dead aperture with no ability to replenish primeval essence on its own, relying only on absorbing primeval essence from primeval stones for supplementation.

However, like other Gu insects that lower talent, the Stone Aperture Gu cannot completely suppress the Ten Extreme Physique.

Even if the aperture turns into a stone aperture, the Ten Extreme Physique will gradually restore it, transforming it back into a living aperture.

Therefore, for Zhou Ming, whether it's the Stone Aperture Gu or other Gu insects that lower talent, they serve only one purpose: to buy Zhou Ming more time.

With time, Zhou Ming can figure out a solution by seeking answers from the main god.

The main god's exchange options are vast, and perhaps Zhou Ming can find a method to overcome the drawbacks of the Ten Extreme Physique.

Until he finds this method, Zhou Ming must do everything possible to suppress his cultivation advancement and find ways to weaken his talent.

"Wait!" Like a bolt of lightning, an idea flashed through Zhou Ming's mind, and he suddenly understood something.

"That's right! The will of heaven transformed my talent into the Ten Extreme Physique not to kill me, but to restrict and force me!"

"It doesn't want my cultivation to advance too quickly, yet it wants me to exchange more items from the main god and bring them back to the Gu world. This way, the will of heaven can harvest more laws from the foreign realms."

"So, the will of heaven used this method to force me to do what I must in order to survive. It's a clever scheme, and I have no choice but to follow it."

"Great tactic!"

Having figured this out, Zhou Ming didn't feel angry again. He just chuckled coldly in his heart.

What does it have to do with Zhou Ming if the main god wants more laws from the Gu world and the will of heaven in the Gu world wants more laws from the foreign realms?

He only needs one thing to be clear: if they want him to do something, they should offer sufficient benefits.

The main god tempts him with reward points, enticing him to bring a large number of Gu insects into the main god's space, achieving a win-win situation.

However, the will of heaven in the Gu world never learns this point or perhaps despises engaging in equal transactions with Zhou Ming. Instead, it resorts to coercion, threats, forced buying and selling, and a mix of rewards and punishments...

In this regard, the will of heaven in the Gu world is far from being as straightforward as the main god.

It doesn't matter. One day, when Zhou Ming's strength is enough, the first one he will deal with will undoubtedly be the will of heaven in the Gu world.

Riding on the Azure Wolf, Zhou Ming is getting closer to his clan, but instead of going back to the clan, he takes a turn and heads towards another marketplace.

Why not go to the marketplace he went to yesterday (from the perspective of the Gu world)?

That's because he just went there yesterday (from the perspective of the Gu world), and the Gu Masters in the shops there would probably recognize Zhou Ming. If he were to go there again now, it would easily attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

It's better to take a detour. Zhou Ming arrives at the first marketplace he visited during the previous mission interval, which is also the closest marketplace to the Warm Pool Gu.

Since the last time he came to this marketplace, almost half a month (from the perspective of the Gu world) has passed, and the Gu Masters there should have no impression of Zhou Ming anymore.

Before entering the marketplace, Zhou Ming disguises his aura as that of a Rank 4 Gu Master. He also conceals his true appearance through makeup and disguise.

The Deceiver Gu now only has the function of disguising his aura, so Zhou Ming decides to buy another Gu insect that can disguise his appearance, which will be convenient for his next plan.

He has almost depleted the Primeval Stones on him in the previous storyline world, so Zhou Ming decides to sell the ten Red Steel Relic Gu he has in hand first.

Fortunately, with his Rank 4 cultivation, he is confident enough to walk around here without any trouble. Even if he sells several Red Steel Relic Gu in one go, his identity as a Rank 4 Gu Master won't attract much attention.

If he were to reveal his true cultivation as a Rank 2 peak, he would never dare to directly sell all ten Red Steel Relic Gu like this.

Zhou Ming ties up the Azure Wolf and steps into the marketplace.
