I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1131 - 594: The Protagonist’s Ancestor Was a Transmigrator! (Part 2)

If Gu Shanhai gets dirt all over his face, he might just plant you back in the ground.

And it would be in the manner of leaving a deer's head exposed outside.

So, he could only flatteringly assure that it wouldn't be a problem, and he would definitely adjust his mindset.

"Who did you learn from to become such a greasy middle-aged man?" Gu Shanhai said as he went straight back to his lab.

Little White wanted to speak but hesitated; after all, the only middle-aged person in their team was Gu Shanhai, so the source of the greasiness was pretty obvious.

However, it didn't dare to say these words out loud, as doing so would surely make Gu Shanhai angry with embarrassment.

Given Gu Shanhai's keen sense of hearing, even if it was whispered, he would still hear it, so it was better to keep this secret buried.

Little White has always modeled itself after Gu Shanhai, but mostly chose the easier parts to imitate. It never picked up on hard work but instead combined external factors like relying on different disciples to cling on for support.

That way, it can live a carefree life.

In its view, choosing wisely is more significant than working hard. Because once you've latched onto enough support, there's no need to strive when you can just lie back, although recently rolling around inside the Yu Wang Jiu Ding every day has made its blood boil, quite literally.

Meanwhile, Gu Shanhai, after properly placing the Flesh Egg, began his research.

The research subject naturally was the Flesh Egg.

"Strangely, there's no nail in the bloodline of the Flesh Egg."

"Could it be due to the Dream Shattering Sword Technique?"

Gu Shanhai was performing a routine check but ended up discovering something extraordinary.

"An interesting situation, who would have thought there'd be a fish that slipped through the net here?" Gu Shanhai speculated that it might be because of Isso.

"Besides the Dream Shattering Sword Technique, perhaps Isso's ancestors weren't simple individuals either."

"Like a transmigrator?"

Transmigrators are not rare, especially in the Wizard World. Occasionally, someone enters this world with an intelligent brain, chip, or other corresponding Golden Finger and then becomes a powerful wizard through body-snatching.

As for attributing this to Gu Shanhai, he doesn't have the ego to take such credit.

He combined the Dream Shattering Sword Technique to form a special enhancement system, but ultimately, this system went astray.

"Initially, I thought Isso becoming the Green Sorrow·Jade Tree was due to the protagonist's halo, but perhaps the true driving force was the bloodline carrying the Dream Shattering Sword Technique."

"This should be considered bloodline inheritance, though it seems I've ruined it at this stage."

Though it's impressive, compared to Gu Shanhai, there's still a significant gap.

"From the beginning, I didn't pay much attention, so I mixed the Dream Shattering Sword Technique with the bloodline, but in reality, they are two separate forces."

"However, due to their entanglement, they've now become one entity."

"Now, it's turned into a mess."

Gu Shanhai quickly extracted it, causing the Flesh Egg to appear severely damaged, with even its life aura weakening.

The separation ended swiftly, and the Dream Shattering Sword Technique was easily extracted by him, as it is both a Cultivation Technique and a curse.

"It's no use keeping it around." Gu Shanhai stored it away casually, thinking about possibly cultivating it into a Spirit Plant later, such as a Self-Control Engine Tree capable of mass-producing Bitter Owner Fruits. Whoever gets hit by the fruit would be cursed to become a bitter owner.

Just the thought of it is a bit thrilling.

The bloodline, on the other hand, has become very fragile.

"Ji family?" Gu Shanhai furrowed his brows.

"An unusual origin."

Gu Shanhai wasn't sure whether the Ji bloodline in Isso came from his paternal or maternal side, but it didn't matter, as the bloodline itself is the continuation of both sides rather than just one, especially since Isso didn't even have a surname.

"To have been passed down until now, even across dimensions, it doesn't matter which side of the family provided the surname, the important part is the meaning it carries."

"A descendant of some great power or terrifying existence."

"But why did it end up in this Western-style world cluster?"

With such a surname, it must be a heritage from some great world with Eastern influences.

The unfortunate part is the original might of the bloodline has long dissipated under the tides of Magic Power, and even the Divine Skills it once had have been worn away.

Gu Shanhai casually replanted it back into the Flesh Egg.

He had no interest in being greedy, as this bloodline's surname had no use for him, and he could achieve better results through the concept of inheritance.

"Once the Yin Yang Formless Divine Skill is reshaped, perhaps this newborn protagonist could evolve their true name through this surname."

Name implies that where there is a surname, there must be a name as well.

Although the might may be gone, it will greatly strengthen the individual's potential.

Gu Shanhai originally planned to take it as a disciple, given such a good talent, it would normally be trouble-free if cultivated properly by him.

Now, however, he hesitated because he didn't need such a protagonist, and upon accepting it as a disciple, it might intersect with the Ji family in unknown ways.

So, it's better to hold off on it after reshaping and solidify it for future returns when encountered, possibly gaining some benefits.

As for taking it as a disciple and forming a bond, that is indeed a pathway.

Unfortunately, this involves an important question of why this branch of the bloodline ended up in the Wizard World and fell into such decline.

Reasons would be no more than two: external threats and internal strife.

Either reason spells corresponding trouble.

"Therefore, choosing Lan Meng as a disciple seems better."

Lan Meng's aptitude cannot compare with the true protagonist's, being only a vanguard of the King, but if Gu Shanhai takes this yet-to-be-reshaped protagonist in, then Lan Meng qualifies.

No need to worry about the protagonist issue, as the reshaped protagonist would just be an infant, and Gu Shanhai can solidify it through means to eliminate the threat completely.

"But if I choose Lan Meng, could he be too naive?"

"He still needs to be a bit more shrewd."

"If it really doesn't work out, he could replace the Hunter King to prevent dying."

Gu Shanhai has already planned the future path, if Lan Meng matures, he can fend for himself, if he's still naive, he can be sent to the Hunter King, who will surely lend a hand.

Don't be fooled into thinking the Hunter King is worthless just because he can't leave the throne due to suppressing the breakout phase of the frost.

He is a bona fide seasoned hunter with a very dark heart.

If he could defeat Gu Shanhai, he would have long resorted to various means against him.

His polite demeanor with Gu Shanhai represents an equal communication.

If not, the Hunter King's reputation in the Elf Clan wouldn't be so terrifying.

Because he also hunts powerful entities as fuel with extremely ruthless methods.

Gu Shanhai appreciates kindness but doubts the prospects of it.

It's somewhat a hope for good people, though he himself isn't one.

"Whatever, it's still half a month away from the hatching, there's still time."

"But if that's the case, it seems even Lan Meng might be formatted, considering Lan Meng's memory carrier is Green Sorrow."

"Green Sorrow undergoing metamorphosis into a new life form with no memories means Lan Meng retains nothing but the inherited qualities and life legacy."

"How to put it, nothing but kindness?"

Gu Shanhai couldn't find the words to describe it.

"Wait, if the Ji family bloodline is Isso's real Golden Finger,"

"Then where did this Dream Shattering Sword Technique come from? It can't be said it was left by the Ji family's enemies, that's too absurd. If it was truly enemies' work, this bloodline would have long been ended by self-regulation."

"Then it would be even more absurd how the curse of the Dream Shattering Sword Technique was passed down, wasn't it supposed to be ended by the bitter owner's passive self-regulation?"
