[Child: Brother, what is the name of your Ancient Martial Heart Method?]
Su Yunling’s response came quickly; it wasn’t long after Gu Zhiqi sent his message that three words appeared in the chat box.
[Su Yunling: Leviathan Referral.]
Looking at the message from Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi fell silent.
It really was the Leviathan Referral?
[Child: Where does this Cultivation Technique come from? Or rather, who created it?]
[Su Yunling: It’s a family legacy from my mother’s side, passed down from an ancestor named Yun Qian.]
"Yun Qian." Gu Zhiqi read the name Yun Qian out loud to himself after seeing the reply from Su Yunling and then sent another message.
[Child: Is this ancestor still alive?]
[Su Yunling: Probably not.]
If they’re alive, they’re alive; if they’re not, they’re not. What does ’probably not’ even mean?
[Su Yunling: This ancestor lived five hundred years ago, so the likelihood of them still being alive is almost zero.]
Gu Zhiqi looked at the message from Su Yunling and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Five hundred years ago?
The likelihood is almost zero?
Is it that hard for ancient martial artists in this world to live to five hundred?
Gu Zhiqi didn’t send any more messages, and Su Yunling sent another one.
[Su Yunling: Is there a big problem with the Cultivation Technique?]
After ending the chat with Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi didn’t continue modifying and completing the Metal Element heart method. Instead, he carefully started reading the Leviathan Referral that was open.
"Zhizhi, don’t you think it’s weird?" Chubby Chiu spoke up in Gu Zhiqi’s mind.
"What?" Gu Zhiqi kept his eyes on the computer screen, carefully examining the Leviathan Referral.
Upon a closer look, Gu Zhiqi realized that although the Leviathan Referral heart method seemed to have many issues and many of its parts were indeed incomplete, the main content of the heart method was still there. It was just overall more difficult to understand. Even without any modifications, one wouldn’t need high comprehension to understand this method as long as they were like him.
"Do you feel that this world is too strongly connected to you?" Chubby Chiu asked.
Gu Zhiqi paused upon hearing this.
Indeed, there were too many coincidences.
It happened coincidentally that someone was planting citrus smoke with the same technique as hers. It happened coincidentally that a hacker had the same offensive and defensive techniques as her. And now, even the Leviathan Referral she created herself existed in this world.
"Do you remember that we’ve been to the otherworld several times?" Seeing that Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond, Chubby Chiu spoke up again.
"Yeah." Gu Zhiqi replied offhandedly.
It seemed like they had been to otherworlds a few times, but she wasn’t sure if it was because it had been too long. She had forgotten why they went and what had happened in the otherworlds.
"Is there a possibility that we’ve been to this world before?" Chubby Chiu asked carefully.
Gu Zhiqi’s gaze dropped, and her eyelashes fluttered lightly.
After a while, she responded softly, "Maybe."
This last response was spoken aloud by Gu Zhiqi, not just in her thoughts.
Her always cool and lazy voice took on a slightly slower, ethereal quality, scattering with the wind.
Gu Yuluo woke up at two in the afternoon, not on her own, but due to the ringing of her phone.
After returning to the hotel last night, she didn’t go to sleep immediately but kept dealing with some temporary work related to her network until nine in the morning before she went to bed.
"Damn it, who is it?" Her voice, with a Lolita tone, carried some hoarseness of just having woken up, filled with impatience.
"It’s me." A cold and emotionless voice came from the receiver.
This voice shocked Gu Yuluo into full alertness; she sat up abruptly in bed, "Fuck! Gu Huaijin?!"
