The character you are playing has died.

Therefore, the character is controlled by you and you cannot earn any achievement points.

【.】

The system notification flashed out instantly, and Gu Yi's vision went black for a moment. When it lit up again, he had returned to his familiar overhead view.

Looking at the group of suffering young men in the Marquis of Champion's mansion, and at the currently powerful Kyushu.

His feelings were becoming increasingly complicated.

Gu Yi naturally wanted to do his best to ensure all of this, but he couldn't do it for either the Gu family or the entire Kyushu. He could only suppress all his feelings.

After watching silently for a while, he had a sudden thought and silently said in his mind, "Exit the game."

The next moment, the scene before my eyes shattered instantly.

—The familiar scene came into view once again.

It was still the same familiar little room, and everything seemed unchanged.

But they are also different.

The moment Gu Yi slightly opened his eyes, a series of memories rippled through his mind, as if scenes from his childhood were replaying in his mind.

It was so familiar, yet so different from anything I'd ever seen before.

For example, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the overseas Gu's Academy.

He could clearly recall the scene, remembering how Lao Gu, surrounded by a group of overseas friends, cut the ribbon for the newly opened university—something Gu Yi had never experienced before.

"Could it be because the chain reaction is now targeting me?"

"So...that's why I've had that memory fusion again?"

While processing the memories in his mind, Gu Yi made a decision almost instantly.

It's just like the memory transfer when returning to the game.

As the controller of the entire game, Gu Yi needs to be aware of all these developments.

And the same is true today.

There can only be one reason why this never happened when exiting the game in the past: the things done by the Gu family were not enough to affect Gu Yi himself, after all, thousands of years had passed.

But things are clearly different now.

The glory of Gu's Academy has clearly become an indelible point in world history.

As the head of the family, it was only natural for Old Gu to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It's just a pity that—

After Gu Yi's influence was gone, the Gu family continued to decline and had already lost control of the Gu Family Academy many years ago.

The reason why Gu's Academy has become a university is simply because the academy itself has already taken root in various places.

Gu Yi carefully processed the memories in his mind, and was not too disappointed about it.

Without his control, the Gu family will naturally continue to decline back to its original state.

What's so strange about this?
The fact that Gu's Academy has grown to the size of a university today proves that his original vision was successful.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi immediately got up from the bed, walked to the computer, and entered the keywords in detail into the search bar.

The page keeps refreshing:

"Opening of the Malaysian Gu Clan University. Special Invitation to the Contemporary Direct Lineage Head of the Gu Clan"

"Koo's College in Malaysia Receives Official Malaysian Certification"

Why is the Gu Family Academy so renowned worldwide? Why is its core collection considered the source of modern science?

"."

Search results came flooding in.

Whether it was psychological or not, Gu Yi felt that his reading speed had increased significantly, and browsing this information was much smoother.

Gu's Academy

origin--

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, after years of planning with the Gu family, he finally embarked on the great cause of expanding the sea.

In the twenty-first year of the Zhenguan era, the deposed crown prince Li Chengqian and Gu Lei, a sage of the Gu family, led an army to Ryukyu. Seeing that Ryukyu was still in a state of ignorance, Gu Lei established the Gu Family Academy to promote education.

Gu Shi, the Second Sage—

Gu Lei, courtesy name Zhenshi, was a sixteenth-generation descendant of the Gu family. He was known for his virtue from a young age and possessed considerable literary talent.
Xingsheng—

The true prosperity of Gu's Academy was inseparable from the innovation of the Tang Dynasty's maritime trade.

After Emperor Taizong, maritime trade flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and Ryukyu even established a professional navy that was unparalleled at the time.

Driven by successive innovations in naval vessels, the Gu Clan Academy spread to all directions along with the expansion of the Ryukyu Navy.

However, its heyday was not during this period, but during the reign of Emperor Daizong of Tang, Li Yu.

The world was in chaos at that time.

Gu Xuan, a member of the 21st generation of the Gu family, first quelled the An Lushan Rebellion, then conquered Tibet, implemented new policies, and eradicated Buddhism throughout the country.

It was during this period that Gu's Academy reached its most glorious moment.

Relying on the continuous rise of the Tang Dynasty's national strength and the influence accumulated by the Gu family over hundreds of years, Gu Xuan re-established the Gu Family Academy in Julu, establishing a pattern of "the four seas as the root and Julu as the core".

At that time, Gu's Academy was spread throughout East Asia and had a far-reaching influence. To this day, legends about that world-famous "century-old mystery" still circulate in various places.

A Century-Old Mystery

In his later years, Gu Xuan wrote numerous books, claiming that he had hidden all his life's learning in them, which he kept in secret at the Gu Family Academy in Julu.

Gu Yi sat in front of the computer, carefully browsing through the information and combining it with the newly integrated memories in his mind, quickly sketching out the whole process.

He did succeed.

The Gu Family Academy had a profound and far-reaching impact.

During those most peaceful decades, countless students devoted their lives to the academy, and some even reached the threshold of Gu Xuan's collection of books, only to be blocked by layers of barriers.

This is perfectly normal.

Even someone as brilliant as Gu Xuan was trapped inside, let alone others.

This may be related to the self-correction of history, but it is not incomprehensible.

As for the decline of the Gu Family Academy, it was also within his expectations—the Gu family was in decline, the country was in turmoil, and the collection of books was scattered and spread to all parts of the world by sea.

If there's anything different about the course of history, it's that as time went by, someone eventually figured out the secrets behind it.

Take, for example, that kid who got hit by an apple.

When the fruit hit him, the problem described in the book was instantly solved.

This is also one of the reasons why the world today says that "modern science" originated from the Gu Academy.

Everything did indeed take a different path, yet it subtly aligned with the original historical trajectory, allowing the enormous impact brought about by the Gu family to ultimately dissolve into the long river of history.

But Gu Yi felt no disappointment whatsoever.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief, as if a great burden had been lifted.

This at least proves that the Gu family's extraordinary feats of defying fate are no longer something that can be easily erased by the long river of history.

This is hope!

For the Gu family, the significance of this hope is self-evident.

If no matter how much Gu Yi struggles, future generations can only glimpse a tiny trace of the Gu family's influence, that would be true despair—it would mean that the Gu family ultimately cannot resist the corrective force of history.

Even the most brilliant light will eventually fade away.

But things are different now. Even if the Gu family will inevitably face even harsher suppression in the future, so what?

Even a sliver of hope is far better than no hope at all!

Gu Yi is no longer the Gu Yi he once was.

Although only one day had passed in this modern world, the growth he had experienced was unimaginable.

And the same—

That is why he, like many other members of the Gu family, was like them.

There is an immense sense of pride in the name "Gu Family".

No, his feeling was even stronger than that of the other members of the Gu family.

Although all of this was the result of the efforts of the family members, Gu Yi put in the most effort.

The initial steps were fraught with uncertainty, and there were numerous plans being made in secret.

Everything that happened to the Gu family over the past few centuries has been subtly connected to him, so how could he not feel proud of the name "Gu family"?
And the same—

He is no longer himself, but carries the hopes of generations of Gu family members.

He is both the mastermind behind the Gu family and the purest bloodline and descendant of the Gu family to date.

This time, Gu Yi didn't even bother to investigate the family's assets.

It's not that they don't care at all.

Gu Yi simply lost that desire to explore. Now that all these things have an impact, his wealth is just the least important thing.

Not to mention that the cultural relics that the Gu family kept are still there.

With all his current titles, Lao Gu can make a lot of money.

What else is there to explore?
Instead of doing that, it would be better to continue to learn more about the details.

Of course, Gu Yi wouldn't believe everything he heard.

What actually happened was far more brutal than some of the records that have been released.

Leaving aside other things, just consider Gu Xuan's various acts of persecuting Buddhism.

The current direct record of this matter is extremely brief, only noting that it had a huge impact. If it were the old Gu Yi, he wouldn't even have cared about it.

It perfectly embodies the principle that "the fewer the words, the bigger the story," and only through careful investigation can one discover the truth behind it all.

Gu Yi needs to find out more detailed information.

One interface after another flashed before Gu Yi's eyes and closed, all concerning the Gu family's children, the Gu family academy, and even extending to religion.

Gu Yi no longer even has the desire to read about what happened next in history.

As long as he returns to the game, history will continue to change.

By then, this so-called "prophet" would only harm himself and affect his judgment, and Gu Yi would not do such a futile effort.

On the other hand, these effects may seem to offer little help.

But in reality, it does allow Gu Yi to have a clearer understanding of the future development of the Gu family, which is exactly what Gu Yi needs.

As Gu Yi had anticipated, the Gu family's status within the religious community has undergone a significant change.

It's not just Gu Xuan who appears in religious legends.

The religious status of people like Gu Chen has also been significantly elevated.

Although not everything he set out in the beginning has been completely preserved, it still has a considerable influence in some religions in Kyushu.

In the case of Buddhism.

—Gu Chen is still a guardian deity of Buddhism, and even Gu Xuan has become an Arhat in Buddhism who purifies those who betray the Buddha.

This also demonstrates the effectiveness of that large-scale persecution of Buddhism.

Buddhism has since been fully integrated into the Kyushu region, and this is only natural.

Besides, what surprised Gu Yi was that he now had the right to vote in many religions.

Whether it's choosing an abbot or a priest.

Old Gu can participate as long as he's willing.

And it is accepted by all religious sects.

Clearly, although the Gu family has fallen into the dust of history, their former glory has been incorporated into many religions.

This did indeed surprise Gu Yi somewhat.

Of course, he didn't really care about it.

Gu Yi is a pure materialist. Even now that there are unimaginable things like "game consoles," he still adheres to his consistent principles.

For him.

Religion is merely a tool of rule; as for what role the Gu family played during this period, that is of no concern.

Gu Yi sat in front of the computer, carefully looking at the content on each webpage, including everyone's comments on it all.

Not only are they all religious, but the most numerous are still about the Gu Family Academy.

After all, this matter involves far too many things.

This includes people from various places, as well as the ownership of various kinds of knowledge.

All of this is bound to cause a lot of controversy.

"Gu's Academy is clearly from our country, South Korea! Long before Gu's Academy existed in China, it had already taken root here, and we have clear historical records of this."

"Although... well... it's possible that the Gu family did give the order at the time."

But facts are facts!

"No matter what, Gu's Academy can never be called a product of China; it belongs to our South Korea!"

"Including the various reasons behind the knowledge contained therein."

"Don't mention that 'Master Xuan' from China's later years' works. How could people from that era possibly understand so many advanced things?"

"Even if he truly understood it, why didn't he change the world? This is clearly a myth fabricated by later generations!"

"The so-called 'century-old mystery'?"

"Hmph, it's just ordinary stuff that might have been novel back then, but is utterly insignificant now!"

"The truth is—it's the culmination of the genius and wisdom of our South Korean nation!"

"Look at how many talented people have emerged from Gu's Academy throughout its history! That's irrefutable proof!"

This is something that a Korean person was talking about online, and it became extremely popular, even reaching China.

Gu Yi initially just calmly watched these absurd remarks, but the comments from netizens that followed made the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up slightly.

"Classic Recitations Endure – 'My Family's!'"

"Good heavens, the poet Li Bai just finished 'immigrating,' and now this is starting again?"

"The origin of all things is South Korea!"

"Saving money: The universe is all Koreans."

Among the numerous comments, some playful and some sarcastic, one highly-rated reply stood out, even carrying a hint of "performance art":

"The flag is planted, hurry up and finish!"

The accompanying image is a flag.

Although it was slightly different from the banners set in previous years, Gu Yi immediately recognized that it was the banner of the Gu family!
