Part 4 & 5: Attitude

Ren Zu used the Rules Gu and Regulation Gu, obtaining Strength Gu but losing Wisdom Gu, leaving behind three Gu worms. One was Suspicion Gu, one was Belief Gu, and another was Attitude Gu. Ren Zu grabbed the Attitude Gu. Attitude Gu followed the betting rules, submitting to Ren Zu, saying, “Human, you caught me. I can only curse my bad luck. From now on, I will be at your command. Wear me, and you will be able to use my ability.” Attitude Gu’s appearance was like a mask. Ren Zu put it on his face, but in the end, he could not wear it. Even if he used a rope to tie it, it would still fall off. “What's going on?” Ren Zu was troubled. Attitude Gu laughed, “I know, human, you have no heart. Attitude is the mask of the heart, so without a heart, how can you wear me?” Ren Zu realized at once that he had already given his heart to hope. He was heartless. Someone who is heartless cannot wear the attitude mask. In other words, to someone with a heart/an intention, their attitude is a mask. Attitude Gu was like a mask, and without a heart, Ren Zu couldn't wear it. Because before this, Ren Zu had given his heart to the Hope Gu, and from then on, he never feared difficulty. But if Ren Zu wanted to use the Attitude Gu, he needed to have a heart. Ren Zu was troubled, so he asked Attitude Gu. He said, “Oh Gu, sometimes attitude says it all. Now that I have encountered a problem, you know it, thus I’m here to seek advice.” Attitude Gu said, “This is not hard, Ren Zu. You lack a heart, so you just have to find a new one.” Ren Zu was confused, asking again, “Then how can I find a new heart?” Attitude Gu sighed, “Heart is nowhere and everywhere. Finding a heart is both easy and difficult. With your situation, you can obtain a heart now.” Ren Zu was overjoyed, “Quick, tell me, how?” Attitude Gu warned him, “This heart is called loneliness. Human, are you sure you want it? Once you obtain it, you will face endless pain, loneliness, and even fear!” Ren Zu did not listen to his warning; he continued asking. Attitude Gu could not defy Ren Zu’s orders, so he said, “You only have to stare at the sky on a starry night and say nothing. Once you reach daylight, you will obtain the Heart of Loneliness.” That night, it was a star-filled sky. According to Attitude Gu’s instructions, Ren Zu sat alone at the mountain peak, staring at the night sky. Before this, his life was very difficult, constantly struggling for survival; he had no time to admire this beautiful yet mysterious sky. But now, as he stared at the starry sky, his thoughts began floating. Constantly thinking about himself, such a meager and weak being like himself, living a life of

constant fear and insecurity. Sigh, although I have Hope Gu, Strength Gu, Rules Gu and Regulation Gu, and Attitude Gu, to survive in this land, it is still difficult as ever. Even if I die tomorrow, it is not shocking. If I die, will the world remember me? Will anyone rejoice over my existence and grieve over my death?” Thinking of this, Ren Zu shook his head. In this world, he was the only human; how can there be others?— Even with Gu accompanying him, he still felt a strong sense of loneliness. Heart of Loneliness! At this moment, when Ren Zu felt lonely, his body suddenly had a brand-new heart. The sun rose from the horizon and shone on his face. But Ren Zu felt no happiness; instead, he felt endless pain, despair, confusion, and even fear. He could not endure this loneliness and fear, for all he felt was the advent of darkness and apocalypse! Thus, he painfully cried, stretching out his fingers and digging out his eyes. His left eye fell onto the ground and transformed into a young man. He had golden hair and a strong body. Once he appeared, he kneeled at Ren Zu’s feet, saying, “Oh Ren Zu, my father, I am your eldest son, Verdant Great Sun.” At the same time, his right eye turned into a young girl, and she held Ren Zu’s hand, saying, “Oh Ren Zu, my father, I am your second daughter, Desolate Ancient Moon.” Ren Zu laughed loudly, tears flowing out of his empty sockets. He said ‘good’ three times and continued, “I have children now; I can finally endure the pain of the Heart of Loneliness. From now on, there will be people celebrating my existence and grieving for my death, even if I die now, you will remember me. “Finally,” he sighed, “I lost both my eyes and can no longer see the light. From now on, you two shall observe this world for me. Before Ren Zu died, he gave birth to ten children. The eldest son Verdant Great Sun, the second daughter Desolate Ancient Moon. Among the ten, there was one named Northern Dark Ice Soul. Ren Zu’s legends, whether real or false, alluded to many secrets in Gu Master’s cultivation. Ren Zu’s ten kids individually represented ten types of ultimate aptitudes. In Ren Zu’s story, his ten kids didn’t have a long life. In reality, it is difficult for the Gu Masters who hold ten extreme physiques to grow and mature; almost all die an untimely death. Of course, if they can really grow to become a Rank six,

they will be able to sweep through same-stage opponents and even perform miracles such as fighting a higher rank!
