If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 919 Destined Person

The man in the white shirt, known as Wei Ye, turned his head to look. His lips were chapped and his face looked pale. He said helplessly, "Liu An, save your energy, or you'll faint."

Liu An held the blade, which was less than twenty centimeters long, as if it were a priceless treasure, and kept gesturing at the large rock next to him, which made Wei Ye both angry and amused.

Wei Ye stuffed the hilt of his knife into his pocket, walked over to Liu An, and said, "Let's go, we need to keep looking for food. If we can't find any, not only will something terrible happen, but we'll also starve to death."

Upon hearing this, Liu An nodded, carefully holding the blade as if afraid of getting cut.

The two chose a direction and started walking.

"Wei Ye, tell me, where exactly are we? In the no-man's land of the Northwest, or have we ended up abroad?"

"I don't know either, maybe we're no longer on Earth."

"Really? Did we travel through time?"

"Anyway, I feel like this place is eerie. Every night I feel like someone is watching our carriage."

The two chatted casually, their fear of the unfamiliar place having lessened considerably due to their hunger. Even if a ferocious beast appeared before them, they would still give it a shot.

……

Wei Ye and Liu An, who came from Earth, stumbled into the cultivation world of a vast universe. For Gu An, several decades was a short time, but for them, it was a very agonizing period.

The eight surviving Earthlings were taken to the sect by the cultivators, but only Wei Ye was found to have good talent for cultivation. The other seven spent their entire lives trying to achieve nothing.

At first, Wei Ye would protect them, but he always had to go into seclusion. After being bullied by a group of immortal cultivators, Liu An made up his mind to leave the sect alone.

Later, he joined the Demonic Sect, practiced evil arts, and officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

When the two met again, they were now in a state of irreconcilable conflict between good and evil. Wei Ye, who came from Earth, was not so rigid. He was still happy to see Liu An and felt sympathy for him when he learned why Liu An had gone to the Demonic Sect. Unfortunately, their relationship could only be kept secret from then on.

Gu An wrote their stories into a book and had some interested disciples read it.

This day.

The arrival of outsiders on the mainland once again put the disciples of Wushi on high alert. Having learned from their previous experiences, the disciples became more composed.

Meanwhile, Gu An stood atop the mountain, watching the seven demon emperors besiege the Supreme Demon God.

The Supreme Demon God was transformed from the Supreme Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom. As an existence who once reached the level of the Primordial Profound Immortal, even if his cultivation dissipated and he was reborn, he was still no match for the Seven Emperors of the Demon Race.

In the first decisive battle, he forcefully killed a demon emperor, and the other demon emperors returned defeated. The news spread throughout the world, causing fear among the people.

Upon receiving this news, the human race became even more unscrupulous.

Gradually, the human race came to be seen as a demon by all living beings in Zhongtian, and all living beings feared them.

If things continue like this, without the intervention of the immortals and gods, it's impossible for anyone in Zhongtian to stop the Supreme Demon God.

The Supreme Demon God roamed freely, devouring the magical power of powerful beings everywhere. This led some humans to imitate him. The innate humans of Zhongtian were exceptionally talented and had extraordinary comprehension. They created many evil techniques that devoured the magical power, energy, and divine thoughts of others, making their own cultivation speed even more exaggerated.

In the years that followed, the common people could clearly feel the speed of human growth, and they felt immense pressure.

The being who visited the continent was not of human origin; he had merely transformed into human form. Initially, seeing so many people gathered on the continent filled him with apprehension, as he thought he had stumbled into human territory. However, he later discovered that the humans here were not as brutal as those he had encountered before, and were even quite hospitable. His arrival brought the disciples of Wushi much information about the state of the world, and the disciples also made him realize that not all humans were inherently cruel.

A few days later, An Zizai came to Wuzhong Mountain to visit Gu An.

Gu An was practicing calligraphy under the tree. When An Zizai bowed, he simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

"Grandmaster, that Supreme Demon God is wreaking havoc on the world. Will he come to our continent to kill us?" An Zizai asked.

Gu An replied, "Perhaps."

"If he comes, and there are other outsiders visiting the mainland, what should we do?" An Zizai asked, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with anxiety.

In the past few days, he has gained a new understanding of Zhongtian.

He discovered that the disciples of Wushi no longer needed to pretend and had begun to fall behind the beings of Zhongtian.

The beings born in the Central Heaven are all exceptionally gifted, not to mention the powerful figures who roam the world, who are born at a level that is beyond their reach.

"With me here, there's nothing to worry about."

Gu An gave a casual reply, then stopped what he was doing, looked up at An Zizai with a smile, and continued, "Since you recognize the gap and feel the pressure, then work hard to cultivate. This continent is vast, and there's no need for everyone to wait together to receive outsiders. Just focus on your cultivation."

An Zizai looked at his grandmaster, frowned, and asked, "Can we really catch up with them?"

When they first arrived in Zhongtian, there was no life in the world. At that time, the disciples had a detached mindset of observing all things in the world. But now, their cultivation level is nothing in Zhongtian.

Seeing those beings born and surpass them, the disciples would inevitably feel discouraged and confused.

"Many things, if you look back after ten thousand years or a million years, the situation may be different. The only thing you can control is yourself. Throughout history, there have been countless geniuses and great figures, but not many have been able to live on forever."

Gu An said earnestly, "Talent is not something he can change."

The disciples of Wushi come from the Tianling Great World, which is not even considered a first-rate world among the three thousand great worlds. How can their talents compare with those of the beings born in the center of the Heavenly Dao?
While staying by Gu An's side, the disciples' understanding of the Great Dao was constantly growing. They might not have felt it deeply at the moment, but when they attained the Dao in the future, they would know the importance of comprehending the Dao.

Although the beings born in the Middle Heaven have great natural talents, they will encounter a bottleneck when they try to break through to the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

Enlightenment depends not only on innate comprehension but also on the opportunities and opportunities that come with it.

After listening to Gu An's words, An Zizai took a deep breath, raised his hand to Gu An in a salute, and said, "I understand. I will make sure they cultivate diligently and not slack off."

Gu An laughed and said, "Actually, being surpassed by the native creatures is not a bad thing. At least it won't be so tiring for you to pretend, since you are inferior to them to begin with."

An Zizai was at a loss for words after hearing these words, and could only give a wry smile.

An Zizai looked at the papers on the table in front of Gu An. He saw two names and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandmaster, who are Wei Ye and Liu An?"

Gu An replied, "You two are destined to meet; you will come to us in the future."

He wrote down the names of the two people for two reasons: first, he had nothing better to do, and second, by writing them down again and again, he wanted to explore more about the karmic connections between the two people and the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor.
