Many children, many blessings, start with finding Empress Jiuyou!

The Immortal Island.

After Gu Qing returned from the timeline of the Taichu era, his figure immediately returned to the Immortal Divine Island.

The time in the recent ancient times has not been long.

In an instant, he returned to the courtyard of his floating island and slowly sat on his stone bench.

"Master!"

"Master, you are back!"

"Is Dongfang Yuan dead?"

God Jia, God Cang and Zong Huang, the three of them rushed over instantly after sensing Gu Qing's breath.

They thought that Gu Qing had come back and had resolved all the issues.

Including Dongfang Yuan, normally speaking, he should have been killed by their master (teacher) in the beginning of the world.

"You guys go down first."

"I have some things that I need to think about alone."

Gu Qing's words were no longer as energetic as before. Instead, he felt tired.

God Jia and God Cang were all confused. After looking at each other for a few seconds, no one dared to ask more questions.

"Yes."

"Master, we will take our leave first. If you need anything, please call us at any time."

Cang Shen and the other two immediately left the courtyard.

After they left, Gu Qing picked up a chess piece, twirled it slightly between his fingers, and looked at the empty chessboard in front of him.

After a long time, he placed his piece in the center of the chessboard.

...............

In ancient times, in a small village.

"Gu Qing, why do you always win against me?"

"I clearly played Tianyuan every time, and your moves are completely unregulated, so why do I lose to you every time?"

"Shu Yan, playing chess is not about speed or occupying the Tianyuan to set up the formation. What matters is the ability to adapt to circumstances."

"There are no rules at all, which means that people can't figure it out. This is my advantage."

"Oh, it's too complicated."

"No need to go down, take a walk with me."

In the village, Gu Qing followed the woman named Shu Yan and walked around the village relaxingly.

Watching many mortals harvesting straw and collecting firewood, watching the sunset and the red mountains in the west.

This simplest thing in the mortal world made a creator god and an ancestor feel the purest and most relaxing happiness.

The two men walked to the top of the mountain. They were dressed simply, ordinary cloth like mortals, and looked like an ordinary couple.

The woman was very beautiful, with no makeup on her face, and looked very natural and clean.

She leaned quietly on Gu Qing's shoulder, watching the sunset in front of her, feeling full of happiness.

"Gu Qing, I think this small village in the mortal world is much better than the immortal world."

"Mrs. Yu and her family are celebrating a festival today, and they even brought some meat for me. They are all really kind to us, and they don't have any scheming or deceitful thoughts."

"This kind of feeling is so rare in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Oh, it would be great if the whole world was like this."

“Everyone doesn’t have to be so tired, and there will be fewer conflicts between people.”

Shu Yan leaned on Gu Qing's shoulder, looked at the setting sun, and spoke softly.

"But the mortal world is still the mortal world after all."

"As long as they are living beings, they will have their own selfish desires and greed. This is a very basic and normal phenomenon in this world."

"Like the people in this village, many of them have not experienced too much worldly temptation, and they still have a pure heart deep down in their hearts."

"But if mountains of gold and silver, something with strong temptations of benefits, are placed in front of them, the ugly side of their hearts will naturally emerge."

Gu Qing saw the essence of human nature very clearly, and spoke slowly at this time.

"Humph, if you say that, then everyone in the world is bad, right?"

"So I'm a bad guy too?"

Shu Yan pouted, looking angry like a little girl.

Gu Qing, who looked like a middle-aged man, smiled gently: "How could Shu Yan be a sinister person?"

"Shu Yan is the kindest person in the world."

After hearing this, Shu Yan's expression returned to normal, and she sighed, "But what you said does make sense. Everyone has good and evil sides, even us."

"But you also said that people are pure at heart."

"If this world had fewer temptations that could arouse evil thoughts in the hearts of all living beings, this world would become much cleaner and simpler."

"You are one of the four great gods of creation. Can you do it?"

Shu Yan raised her head and looked at him curiously.
