Control your ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 2: Immortal Family, Following Liu Xiu
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Old Gu's calm words exploded directly in Gu Yi's ears like thunder.

At this moment, Gu Yi could even hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster.

Everything is exactly the same!

[Extracting ancestral information.]

Gu Yi suddenly remembered the prompt before the game started.

For a moment, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.

Could it be possible that this game could affect reality?
Even the characters that can be controlled are your own ancestors?
This idea had an impact on Gu Yi's worldview, but everything at the moment was proving this point.

He remembered very clearly that before this, his family had never mentioned anything about their ancestors.

Considering Lao Gu's character, if there really is a record.

It's impossible that it hasn't been mentioned in all these years.
Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and countless thoughts came to his mind at this moment.

If that's true
Wouldn't that give me the opportunity to build an extraordinary family?
Not to mention the wealth accumulated over thousands of years.

Just relying on the family's background is enough to completely lay low in this era.
Thinking of this, Gu Yi suddenly became excited.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

The old couple who were drinking porridge at the dinner table also noticed Gu Yi's abnormality and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm stuffed."

Gu Yi didn't say anything nonsense and rushed into his room without hesitation, closed the door, and picked up the game console again.

At this time, the screen of the game console has turned black, apparently because it has not been operated for a long time.

But just as Gu Yi touched it.

The screen seemed to have sensed something and lit up again.

But it was not the game screen that Gu Yi had imagined, but the initial interface at the very beginning.

It’s still those two desolate characters and various options.

The only difference is that [Start Game] becomes [Continue Game].

This time, Gu Yi did not rush to continue the game, but looked at the last [Precautions] and clicked it directly.

If everything is really as he thought, and this game can affect reality, he must first understand this game carefully.

The prompt popped up instantly.

【Notes.】

[1: Every time a player controls and integrates into the character, a huge amount of achievement points are required.

(Note: Players can earn achievement points through the achievements of their family members, but cannot earn achievement points for the people they personally control.)

[2: This game cannot be paused, saved, or rewound. Players only have one chance, and the game progresses continuously.

If all the direct descendants of the family are killed, the game is considered a failure.

Everything the player has done in the game will be erased and history will be completely restored.

(Note: The game will end three hundred years before the player's current time to ensure that the player will not disappear due to changes in history.)

[3: If the player's family changes history, history will continue to correct itself over time.

(For example, if the player makes changes at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty that are different from the original history, without any follow-up, the impact will gradually weaken over time until it is fully restored.)

[4: Players' integration into the role of control does not mean that they have complete control over the corresponding character.

It will only affect the overall thinking of the corresponding character, so that each time they face various choices, they will make choices that meet the player's needs.

[5: Achievement points can be used to draw items. For every achievement points, you can draw once and get powerful items of different levels.

(Note: The prop levels are divided into: God, Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Ordinary)]

“It can actually influence history!”

Looking at these prompts, Gu Yi instantly confirmed this.

The whole person's thoughts couldn't help but surge up.

Everything I just thought of came flooding back to me at this moment.

can influence history.
Doesn’t that mean that you have the opportunity to build a family that spans the course of history?
He took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent thoughts, and began to carefully analyze the precautions one by one.

Let’s look at this first tip first.

Although Gu Yi doesn't play games much, fortunately his comprehension ability is not weak.

I immediately understood the core meaning of this tip.

That is, he cannot ensure that he can always control every generation of the family!

Just based on this point, Gu Yi instantly realized the difficulty involved.

In the five thousand years of Chinese history, how many famous families have been completely weakened or even wiped out because of one generation?
Not to mention that the game is set in the feudal society!
If there is a mediocre person in the family, there is a risk of the game being over!
The second and third points eliminated Gu Yi's biggest worry.

That is, if the family is destroyed and the inheritance is interrupted, or if there are major changes, their family will not disappear.

"In other words, to achieve the effect I envision."

"At least the entire family must not be destroyed throughout history, and before the modern era, the family must always maintain a strong influence."

"Is this the only way to offset the historical revisions and leave something behind?"

Gu Yi thought of this instantly, and his expression became more serious.

It’s a bit too difficult!
In fact, compared to always maintaining absolute influence, it is relatively easier to leave behind a legacy.

As long as there are enough people and they don't do anything dangerous.

It is very simple to pass it down.

But if you want to change reality, you must always maintain absolute influence, and the difficulty of this is really hard to imagine!

"But at least I have props."

Gu Yi took a deep breath, taking the opportunity to soothe his tense emotions.

But then he noticed the next two prompts, and his expression froze instantly.

"Wait, god-level items are the best?"

"What about the astronomical card I just got?"

What the hell!

The good mood just now was wiped out in an instant.

What a big loss!

Although I don’t know the probability of winning in this game yet, I will still lose even if my probability is very high!

Liu Xiu!

What are you going to use to pay me back what you owe me?
Gu Yi wanted to yell loudly, but he felt like his heart was bleeding!

A god-level item!
Gu Yi could imagine what kind of impact this item, combined with some manipulation, would have on the entire family in history!
I ended up wasting it all!

Gu Yi gritted his teeth and calmed down for a long time before gradually calming down.

"Fortunately, I didn't make any random comments about Liu Xiu just now!"

"If we don't handle this properly, the game will be over. That would be a huge loss."

Gu Yi only felt a lingering fear, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was not unacceptable.

Now it seems that it was due to my unintentional actions just now.

His ancestor has now established contact with Liu Xiu.

It’s not a complete loss.

Gu Yi kept comforting himself, then exited the interface and clicked on [Game Achievements].

【Game achievements.】

[No achievements have been unlocked yet.]

(Note: Achievements will be unlocked here after completion. Players can not only obtain achievement points based on the achievements, but some rare achievements also come with rare effects.)]

Compared with the previous notes, this interface of game achievements is much simpler.

Gu Yi just took a quick look and closed the interface directly, then clicked the [Continue Game] button.

Completely different from the previous casual state.

This time, Gu Yi stared at the screen with burning eyes.

With a loud bang, the desolate background image instantly shattered, and a completely unfamiliar scene appeared.

Before Gu Yi could react.

The scene in front of me suddenly became blurred at this moment, and the not-so-big screen gradually disappeared.

At this moment, the entire game screen completely occupied Gu Yi's vision.

The setting sun is blood-red, hanging in the sky.

Broken swords and halberds were stuck in the blood-stained soil.

The air was filled with smoke, the charred grass and trees gave off a burnt smell, the pungent smell of blood filled the air, and even a few huge craters caused by meteorites could be seen not far away.

He seemed to be brought into a person's perspective.

Everything is so real.

It was as if it were really a time travel as described in online novels.

But Gu Yi could clearly feel that he was still in his own room.

Everything in front of me is just a game.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Memories flooded into my mind like I was watching a movie.

In an instant.

Gu Yi now understood what was going on.

The Battle of Kunyang was actually over.

Because of what he said, his ancestor chose to follow Liu Xiu and made great contributions in the Battle of Kunyang.

And the astronomical card that I activated has also taken effect.

The meteorite fell to the ground, destroying the enemy camp.

This battle is a great victory!

"This"

Gu Yi's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

The cruel yet real scene before him was too shocking for him, a man living in a peaceful era.

Gu Yi almost instinctively thought of the four words "end the game" in his mind!
The next moment, his vision returned to normal.

He returned to his room again.

The previous scene reappeared on the game console screen.

"Whoo~"

Gu Yi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down quickly.

But my pounding heart couldn't calm down no matter what.

There's nothing we can do about it. This is human nature.

Even if I keep reminding myself mentally, it is useless. I can only adapt slowly.

Gu Yi prepared himself mentally and then turned his attention to the screen again.

Just stare at the screen intently for a few seconds.

The familiar scene happened again, the original picture of the room gradually became blurred, and the previous picture covered it again.

"Brother Gu."

Before Gu Yi could make any move.

A familiar male voice came from behind Gu Yi. Gu Yi immediately wanted to look back, and the perspective changed at this moment.

At this time, Liu Xiu, dressed in armor, walked out.

He looked at him with a smile and asked, "Brother Gu, why are you here?"

"This great victory is all thanks to Brother Gu's help. Don't worry, I will report it to the court to commend your contribution!"

The corresponding memories came flooding back instantly.

Gu Yi also knew the cause and effect of the choice he had just made.

His ancestor was the infantry captain of Dingling. Because of his words, he made a different choice and took the lead in leading his 700 brothers to help Liu Xiu.

Because he took the initiative, it affected many people in the city.

After this great battle, he demonstrated his extraordinary martial arts skills.

Nowadays, those people from Dingling have gradually chosen to follow their own ancestors.

So, Liu Xiu is trying to win me over?
After thinking this through, Gu Yi said without hesitation, "General, you are too polite. This battle is entirely due to your power."

"Without the general's courage, how could our army have won such a great victory?"

Gu Yi naturally chose to follow Liu Xiu.

If it was just an ordinary game, it would be fine, but I must conquer the world myself.

But under the current circumstances, following Liu Xiu is the best choice.

After all, according to historical records, Liu Xiu did not treat his meritorious officials the same way as his ancestor Liu Bang after he founded the country.

As for conquering the world by yourself
Gu Yi completely abandoned this option.

Not to mention whether it can be taken down, even if it can be taken down, what can be done?

What Gu Yi needs is not only the influence of the family, but also the most crucial inheritance!
Has there been any dynasty that has lasted forever since ancient times?
The game requires that all direct descendants cannot be wiped out.

If he really became the emperor, Gu Yi could be sure that his family would be wiped out within a few hundred years!
He naturally wouldn't do that.

Hearing this, Liu Xiu's smile became even brighter. "Brother Gu, there's no need to be so modest. Follow me into the city."

"How can we miss Brother Gu at this celebration banquet?"

Liu Xiu simply made a gesture of invitation.

And Gu Xiao in the game did just as the prompt said. When Gu Yi had decided to follow Liu Xiu, he didn't say much and immediately followed Liu Xiu into the city.

Gu Yi stared closely at the scenes in front of him, his thoughts churning.

“From a historical perspective.”

"After the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu was about to face the lowest point in his life. It was not until he went to Hebei and married Guo Shengtong that he gradually regained his power and established the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"And the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was the breeding ground for all the aristocratic families."

"As long as we can secure our position in Liu Xiu's camp, even though our entire family's influence is still insufficient."

"But as long as the Eastern Han Dynasty is established, with the relatively stable period that follows, it is entirely possible for the entire family to grow stronger."

"Just be careful and make sure there are no problems with the family's education."

"It shouldn't be a problem to safely survive the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"I don't know how many achievement points it will take to integrate the controllable character yet. But as long as the family can stay stable and save achievement points for many years, I should still be able to save enough achievement points by the time of the Three Kingdoms period."

Relying on his understanding of history, Gu Yi quickly determined the future development direction of the entire family.

At this moment, Gu Xiao had already followed Liu Xiu into the city.
️
"Gu Xiao, also known by his courtesy name Zhanhong, was from Dingling, Yingchuan.

Xiao Shao was a courageous man with extraordinary strength. He was also resourceful and resourceful, and well versed in military strategy. His fellow villagers were all amazed by him.

At the beginning of the Gengshi period, Wang Mang sent the Grand Tutor Wang Xun and the Grand Chancellor Wang Yi to lead a million people to besiege Kunyang, with flags and baggage stretching for a thousand miles.

At that time, the Green Forest Army was defending the city, but they were outnumbered and the city was in danger and the people were in panic.

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, he was a lieutenant general and was eager to break out and mobilize troops to relieve the siege of the city, but the other generals hesitated and refused to respond.

Xiao Du observed Guangwu's divine and powerful demeanor and was deeply impressed by his strategy, so he stood up and led a hundred of his men, swearing to follow him to death, and became the vanguard of the army.

When he encountered Mang's army on the way, he whistled, drew his spear, and jumped on his horse, breaking through the enemy lines and being invincible. Finally, he helped Guangwu rush to Yan and Dingling and mobilized all the troops in the camps.

Upon returning to Kunyang, thunder and lightning split the clouds, and the sky was dark with wind and rain. Guangwu took advantage of the situation and launched a general attack. Xiaofu led the elite troops as the vanguard, broke into the enemy camp, beheaded the general and captured the flag. The shouts shook the earth, and the Mang army was greatly defeated. The corpses were scattered for a hundred miles, and the river was blocked.

The victory at Kunyang shocked the whole country and the demise of the Xinmang Dynasty was finally settled.

Guangwu patted him on the back and sighed, "Zhan Hong's courage is as strong as iron and stone. He faced danger head-on. He is truly my Fan Kuai! You were the first to achieve the victory at Kunyang."
