(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
All eyes were glued to the ancient manual in the arms of the young Heavenly Emperor.
"Could it be that he became the Heavenly Emperor because of this ancient cultivation manual?"
At this moment, all the cultivators were filled with excitement.
A world-defying ancient cultivation manual, this was undoubtedly the treasure of this world.
Moreover, it was highly likely that this was the manual that helped Gu Changqing become the Heavenly Emperor!

...
The mountains were filled with the roars of many wild beasts.
In this world with ten thousand races, the mountains and forests were absolutely dangerous for a child a few years old.
Even adults hunting at the foot of the mountain had to travel in groups, let alone the young Heavenly Emperor.
However, the faint sounds of beasts roaming the mountains gave Gu Changqing too much of a sense of security at this moment.
Compared to here, the scene he had just witnessed below the mountain was too overwhelming for him.
As he continued to run deeper into the mountains, his tears unknowingly stopped flowing.
He stepped through the thick jungle of thorns and thistles, his clothes gradually tattered and exposing horrifying bloodstains on his skin.
He didn't know how long he had been running when he finally entered a mountain cave.
In the darkness, he held the baby in his arms, cautiously looking around, trembling...
...
(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
"He must be very scared. Even an adult wouldn't dare enter such a mountain forest rashly, let alone stay too long."
Someone sighed.
It seemed that they briefly forgot that this young man was the ruthless Heavenly Emperor and showed sympathy.
"I'm curious, though; the baby in his arms has no relation to him now. After experiencing such a shock, why doesn't he abandon the baby and survive on his own?"
"Clearly, the latter choice has a better chance of surviving."
Someone spoke with a hint of amusement.
All eyes were on Gu Yuwei when they heard these words.
After all, Gu Yuwei was involved in this past event.
However, Gu Yuwei shook her head expressionlessly. "At that time, I was still a baby. How could I have memories?"
"What I remember about him is very little, and most of it was after I embarked on the path of cultivation."

However, Gu Yuwei shook her head expressionlessly. "At that time, I was still a baby. How could I have memories?"
"What I remember about him is very little, and most of it was after I embarked on the path of cultivation."
Gu Yuwei had practiced in an ancient sect for as long as she could remember. It wasn't until her master fell and told her she had a brother that she met her so-called brother after leaving the mountain.
But unexpectedly, the person she regarded as the only relative in the world eventually harbored evil intentions against her.
The crowd didn't get any information from Gu Yuwei and turned their attention back to the mirror.
The young Heavenly Emperor within the mirror seemed to be getting over his fear. As he calmed down, his arms revealed the baby.
It was only then that everyone noticed that although Gu Changqing's arms were covered in bloodstains, there wasn't a single injury on the baby's body. Even the baby's cloth remained intact.
It was evident that he deliberately protected her.
For an adult, doing these things would be easy.
But for a naive five-year-old child, it wasn't an easy task.
After all, his shoulders were so thin that he couldn't even protect himself.
"It seems that the current Heavenly Emperor still has a pure heart," someone said.
These words made Gu Yuwei's eyelids tremble slightly.
At least for now, Gu Changqing had no intention of abandoning her.
"It's one of the few times you've protected me," she murmured in her heart.
In fact, since she met Gu Changqing after leaving the ancient sect, he has taken great care of her.
However, when he tried to take her immortal roots, everything that was once beautiful appeared to be so hypocritical.
Just this time, he was protecting her without any ulterior motives.
Ye Chen could sense Gu Yuwei's emotional fluctuation.
Seemingly afraid that Gu Yuwei would still harbor affection for the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Chen immediately said, "He still committed evil deeds that destroyed human nature."
"Human beings are inherently good. Perhaps he didn't intend to abandon you at this moment, but after experiencing some things and finding it hard to survive even on his own? This Heavenly Emperor will likely become someone filled with evil and won't stop until he gets what he wants."
"I'm guessing it won't be long before this Heavenly Emperor's true nature is revealed."
Sure enough.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yuwei's fluctuating emotion disappeared and was replaced by coldness.
Compared to her trust being betrayed, this bit of care was really not worth mentioning.
Everyone present agreed with Ye Chen's analysis.
No one was born evil; they became so step by step.
Now, the boy appearing in the ancient mirror was indeed pure, but in the end, he became the devil who betrayed both heaven and earth!
Everyone present was the strongest in the world.
To reach this level, they recognized that concepts like friendship were the most ridiculous.
As the best proof of this, those who once believed in the Heavenly Emperor were now in this state.
As Ye Chen said, they also believed that the Heavenly Emperor's evil nature would be exposed after experiencing some difficulties.
However, how long could the Heavenly Emperor's pure heart last?
They seemed looking forward to it.

(Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
Night fell, and Gu Changqing remained in the same posture.
Eventually, the baby in his arms woke up feeling hungry, and her loud cries broke the silence.
Outside the cave, rustling sounds were heard as if hungry beasts had spotted food and were circling nearby.
