One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

But unlike the outside, it is not mixed with deadly poison.

Rather, it possesses a pure and ancient aura that evokes a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two arrived at a huge stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber is an altar, on which sits an ancient wooden box.

"This is the legacy of the Gu God, guarded by the Helian family for generations."

The old man stood respectfully to the side and gestured for them to enter.

Jiang Mo stepped forward slowly and carefully examined the wooden box.

The wooden box looked old, but showed no signs of decay.

It is carved with countless tiny Gu insect patterns, which are lifelike.

"Can I open it?" Jiang Mo asked.

The old man nodded: "It originally belonged to the God of Gu."

Jiang Mo reached out and touched the wooden box.

A familiar and welcoming atmosphere wafted over me.

He gently stroked the grain of the wooden box, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

It was as if the wooden box had some inexplicable connection with him.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mo slowly opened the wooden box.

The interior of the wooden box was divided into several small compartments.

Each compartment contains different items.

At the top is an old-fashioned booklet that looks quite old, but it is very well preserved.

"What is this?" Jiang Mo picked up the booklet and asked softly.

"The Gu Scripture." The old man's expression was solemn. "It records the true essence of the Gu God's Gu techniques and is the supreme classic of the Gu Dao."

"Legend has it that only the God of Gu and his disciples can decipher its secrets."

Jiang Mo carefully opened the booklet.

As expected, it contained various secret techniques of Gu poison, some of which he had never even heard of before.

Strangely, he could understand these words at a glance.

It was as if they were born with this knowledge.

“This…” Jiang Mo pointed to the second compartment in the wooden box, where a small jade bottle was placed.

“Primordial Gu eggs,” the old man explained.

"The bloodline left behind by the Gu God is guarded by generations of Gu Masters."

"Never used. It is said that only those with the bloodline of the Gu God can truly activate its potential."

Jiang Mo picked up the jade bottle and looked through its semi-transparent body.

You can vaguely see a small black dot inside, emitting a faint light.

He could sense the Gu energy contained within that small dot.

It was several times more powerful than any Gu worm he had ever seen before.

The third compartment contains a bronze seal.

The words "Gu God" are engraved on it, surrounded by various small and exquisite Gu insect patterns.

"The Gu God Seal," the old man explained. "Legend has it that whoever possesses this seal..."

"The ability to command all the Gu worms in the world is a symbol of the Gu God's status."

Jiang Mo picked up the bronze seal, weighed it in his hand, and then carefully examined the patterns on it.

This bronze seal looks ordinary, but holding it in your hand gives you a sense of calm, as if possessing it allows you to control everything.

In the last compartment was a small jade box.

When Jiang Mo opened it, he found a black pill inside, which emitted a peculiar fragrance.

"The Gu God Pill." The old man's voice carried a hint of awe.

"It is said that this is a pill personally refined by the God of Gu."

"After taking it, it can enhance the Gu Master's talent and even change their physique."

"However, for ordinary people, taking it could be life-threatening."

Jiang Mo put the items back into the wooden box one by one, then closed the lid and turned to look at the old man.

"These things are indeed very precious, but I have something to say."

The old man waited respectfully.

"The art of Gu poison itself is neither good nor evil; the key lies in the user's heart."

Jiang Mo said seriously, "Whether or not I am the Gu God you speak of."

"I would never condone your actions of harming innocent people."

"If you insist on doing this, even if I take these so-called 'Gu God's Legacy,' I will still punish you."

The old man was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply: "I understand, Lord Gu God."

"From this day forward, I, Helian, will follow the teachings of the Gu God and will no longer harm the innocent."

Jiang Mo nodded: "Very good. Now, take back your Netherworld Gu and come back to the company with me for investigation."

Without hesitation, the old man formed a mudra with his right hand and began chanting incantations.

A short while later, a buzzing sound came from all directions.

Countless tiny black dots flew out from every corner of the cave.

It gathered in the old man's palm and eventually formed a small black ball.

"These were all Netherworld Gu, and they have all been retrieved."

The old man handed the black ball to Jiang Mo, saying, "My order has been lifted."

"Those who were attacked but not yet killed should gradually recover."

Jiang Mo took the black ball and nodded: "Let's go. I think President Zhao will be very interested in your knowledge of Gu techniques."

Just as the two were about to leave.

A violent tremor came from deep within the cave, and the entire snake pit shook.

"What's going on?" Jiang Mo asked, frowning.

The old man's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! The Primal Gu Mother has awakened!"

"The Primal Gu Mother?"

"Yes, in the legends of our Helian family."

"The Gu God left behind a Gu Mother as a sign of the Gu God's return."

The old man explained nervously, "Now that the Gu God has returned, the Gu Mother sensed your presence and naturally awakened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hissing sound came from the depths of the cave, as if countless giant snakes were moving at the same time.

Then, a powerful surge of Gu energy erupted from the depths, several times stronger than the Netherworld Gu released by the old man earlier.

"Get out of here quickly!" Jiang Mo grabbed the wooden box and pulled the old man toward the cave entrance.

But it was too late. A dark figure darted out from the depths of the cave and quickly blocked their path.

It was a giant spider-shaped Gu worm, about two meters long.

Its eight legs were covered with fine down, while its belly was jet black and shiny.

There is a red mark on it that looks like the Chinese character "王" (king).

“Mother Gu…” The old man’s voice trembled, his legs went weak, and he could barely stand.

Jiang Mo, on the other hand, looked solemn as he carefully examined the enormous creature before him.

The aura of this Gu mother is indeed powerful, probably more powerful than any Gu worm he has encountered before.

The Gu Mother seemed to be sizing up Jiang Mo as well.

An eerie light flickered in its eight compound eyes, as if it were searching for an old acquaintance or scrutinizing an enemy.

“It recognizes you…” the old man said softly.

"Legend has it that the Gu Mother is the Gu God's companion Gu, and can recognize the Gu God's aura."

The Gu Mother slowly crawled forward a few steps and stopped not far in front of Jiang Mo.

Then it suddenly raised its forelimbs and let out a piercing cry.

Jiang Mo felt the Gu worms inside his body stirring, as if responding to the Gu Mother's call.

He took a deep breath, circulating his internal energy to suppress the restlessness.

“It seems it’s not entirely friendly,” Jiang Mo said softly.

"The Gu Mother has her own will."

The old man explained, "Even the Gu God needs to re-establish a connection with it."

Jiang Mo nodded, then slowly stepped forward, extending his right hand, palm up: "I'm not here to seize your territory; I'm just here to find some answers."
