I Can Control My Ancestors

As for the decline of Gu Academy, it was also within his expectations — the Gu Clan waned, Kyushu was in turmoil, and the books were scattered, passing through sea routes to various parts of the world.

If there is any difference in the trajectory of history, it is that over time, someone finally comprehended the mysteries within.

For example, the boy who was hit by an apple.

When that fruit struck him, the issues written in the book were instantly solved.

This is also one of the reasons why the modern world says that "modern science" originated from Gu Academy.

Everything indeed took a different path, yet invisibly fused quietly with the original historical trajectory, allowing the great impact brought by Gu Clan to eventually dissolve into the long river of history.

But Gu Yi did not feel the slightest bit of disappointment.

On the contrary — he felt a kind of relief, like a burden lifted off his shoulders.

This at least proves that the Gu Clan’s feats that defied fate can no longer be easily erased by the river of history.

This is hope!

For the Gu Clan, the significance of this hope is self-evident.

If no matter how much he, Gu Yi, struggled, future generations could only glimpse a faint trace of the Gu Clan’s influence, that would be true despair — it would mean that the Gu Clan ultimately could not resist the corrective force of history.

No matter how brilliant the past might have been, it would eventually fade into intangibility.

But it is different now.

Even if in the future the Gu Clan must face harsher oppression, so what?

Even a shred of survival is far better than having no hope at all!

Gu Yi is no longer the Gu Yi of the past.

Only a day has passed in this modern world, but for him, the growth he obtained is unimaginable.

And similarly —

It is precisely because of this that he, like many Gu Clan descendants, feels immense pride in the name "Gu Clan."

No, his feeling even surpasses that of all the Gu Clan descendants.

Although all of this is due to the efforts of many family descendants, Gu Yi’s dedication to it exceeds them all.

At the beginning, he walked on thin ice, planning all sorts of things in the dark.

Everything that happened to the Gu Clan over hundreds of years is inextricably linked with him, so how could he not feel proud of the name "Gu Clan"?

And similarly —

He is no longer just himself, but bears all the hopes of generations of Gu Clan descendants.

He, both the controller behind the Gu Clan, and its purest bloodline and offspring to this day.

This time, Gu Yi is even too lazy to investigate the family’s wealth.

Not that he doesn’t care at all.

Gu Yi simply lost the desire to investigate — when these series of things can already create an impact, wealth becomes the least of concerns.

Not to mention the cultural relics hidden by the Gu Clan are still there.

Just with Old Gu’s various titles nowadays, he can make quite a bit of money.

What is there worth investigating?

Rather than that, it would be better to continue understanding the details.

Of course, Gu Yi does not believe everything to be true.

The things that truly happened are ultimately far more brutal than some records that can be released.

Not to mention those other things, just the various aspects of Gu Xuan’s suppression of Buddhism for instance.

Nowadays, the direct records regarding this matter are extremely brief — only marked as having a great impact. If it were the former Gu Yi, he might not have even cared about it.

It is entirely in line with the maxim "the fewer the words, the greater the matter," and only by thorough investigation can one discern the truth within.

Gu Yi needs to understand more detailed information.

.....

One interface after another flashed and closed before Gu Yi’s eyes, all related to Gu Clan descendants, and various matters concerning Gu Academy, and even extending to religion.

Gu Yi currently doesn’t even have the thought to look at future histories anymore.

As soon as he returns to the game, history will continue to change.

By then, this so-called "prophet" would instead harm himself, affecting his judgment. Gu Yi wouldn’t engage in such futile efforts.

In contrast, though these influences may seem unhelpful,

But in reality, they indeed allow Gu Yi to have a clearer judgment of the future development of the Gu Clan, which is what Gu Yi truly needs.

As expected by Gu Yi, nowadays, the identity of the Gu Clan in religion has also undergone considerable change.

Not only has Gu Xuan appeared in religious legends,

but even figures like Gu Chen have gained significant advancement in religious status.

Although not everything he initially set was fully preserved, it still holds considerable influence in some religions in Kyushu.

Take Buddhism, for example.

——Gu Chen is still the Vajra Dharma Protector of Buddhism, and even Gu Xuan has become an Arhat expelling apostates in Buddhism.

This also illustrates the result of that massive suppression of Buddhism at the time.

Since then, Buddhism has completely integrated into Kyushu, as it should be.

Moreover, what surprised Gu Yi somewhat is that now in many religions, Old Gu actually has the right to vote.

Whether selecting an abbot or conducting a rite,

as long as Old Gu wishes, he can participate in them,

and is accepted by all sects.

Clearly, although the Gu Clan fell into the dust of history, its former glory has been integrated into many religions.

This indeed surprised Gu Yi somewhat.

Of course, he doesn’t really care about it.

Gu Yi is a pure materialist. Even with something as unimaginable as a "game console" existing today, he still sticks to his usual philosophy.

To him,

Religion is merely a tool of governance, as for the role Gu Clan plays during this period, it doesn’t matter.

Gu Yi sat in front of the computer, meticulously going through each webpage content, including everyone’s evaluation of it all.

Not just all about religion, the most prominent is still about Gu Academy.

After all, too many aspects are involved in this matter.

It involves people from various places, and also all knowledge ownership types.

All of this will inevitably cause a lot of controversy.

"Gu Academy clearly belongs to our Bangzi nation! Long before Huaxia had even emerged, Gu Academy had already rooted in our nation, and we have clear historical records of this."

"Although... umm... maybe there was indeed some hint from Gu Clan at the time."

"But facts are facts!"

"No matter what, Gu Academy can’t be considered a Huaxia asset, but belongs to our Bangzi nation!"

"Including all the reasons and origins of knowledge within it."

"Don’t bring up any ’Lord Xuan’ works from Huaxia’s later years, how could people of that era understand so many advanced concepts?"

"Even if he really did understand, why didn’t he change the world? It’s clearly just a myth fabricated by later generations!"

"The so-called ’century-old puzzle’?"

"Humph, it’s just something that might have seemed novel at the time but isn’t worth mentioning now!"

"The truth is — it is the crystallization of our Bangzi nation’s genius wisdom!"

"Look at how many of our country’s talents emerged from Gu Academy in history? This is indisputable proof!"

This is something a person from Bangzi nation said online, gaining significant attention, even becoming popular domestically.

Gu Yi originally just watched these absurd assertions indifferently, but what followed, the user comments on them, made his mouth slightly curve upwards.

"Classic Song Transmission — ’Mine!’"

"Wow... Li Bai the poet immortal just ’immigrated’ not long ago, and now it starts again?"

"Everything originates from Sseumiida!"

"Summary: The universe belongs to Bangzi."

Among countless comments mocking or satirizing, one highly praised reply stood out, with a tone almost of "performance art":

"Flags are set, you guys should hurry up....!"

The picture is of a flag.

Though different from the flag set in past years, Gu Yi immediately recognized it — it was the flag of the Gu Clan!.....

....
