Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 417 The Three Most Sneaky Protagonists: Han Paopao, Jiuchengba, and—…

"My son is 98% likely."

One sentence instantly made everyone in Gu Ming's group burst out laughing. Who has a son named 98%?

What a terrible name, it's so tasteless.

But as they were laughing, Gu Ming and the others seemed to realize something, and remembered the smooth little combo that this person had just used. Their faces froze. Wait, 98% chance.

"Senior brother?" Gu Ming asked tentatively.

"Of course."

Gu Ming smiled gently, and the ordinary Gu Ming beside him had his eyes light up. He felt an instant connection with him and regretted not meeting him sooner. He immediately stepped forward and shook hands with him warmly, asking for the tips of the small combo move he had just learned.

Gu Ming and the others clicked their tongues in amazement. They wondered what had happened today that brought two of the most cunning people.

Looking at a wide range of novels, anime, and movies, there are probably different opinions on which protagonist is the most powerful.

But if we're talking about who's the most cunning, then without a doubt it's Han Li from "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," nicknamed "Han the Runner," and Li Changshou from "My Senior Brother is Too Cautious," nicknamed "Nine-Eighths."

Han Li has the nickname "Han the Runner" because he often runs away, while Li Changshou has the nickname "Nine-Eight-Eight" because he is too steady.

How stable is it?
So steady that if Li Changshou encountered danger, he could only come up with ninety-eight solutions in a hurry!
He's so confident he can succeed in cultivating immortality and transcending tribulations. While others might roll up their sleeves and get started with a 50% chance of success, he's still hesitant and timid even with a 98% success rate. He openly declares that without a 98% chance of success, what's the difference between transcending tribulation and suicide?
The remaining immortals, whose chances of successfully transcending the tribulation were less than 10%, yet who still wanted to take the gamble: "......"

Seeing that the mortal Gu Ming and his senior brother Gu Ming were chatting enthusiastically, exchanging tips on escaping, ambushing, and hiding, the other Gu Mings silently made way for them.

"Fang Yuan's dad, the three of you can sit at one table."

Gu Ming from the Gu World stepped out and joined the group chat. The three of them smiled at each other, wishing they could become sworn brothers on the spot—they were truly bosom friends!
But as they talked, perhaps they met someone like themselves. The three, who were always "indifferent to fame and fortune," "dislike fighting," and "kind to others," suddenly felt a little competitive.

What was originally a joyful atmosphere turned into a large-scale comparison event. While others were showing off their fathers' connections, they were comparing their sons' achievements, which could be considered a unique reversal of the traditional order.

This vast and boundless universe is so large that it can contain all the heavens and myriad worlds, yet it is also so small that it can only contain a single Supreme Being of the Dao.

"Haha, my son Han Paopao never reveals his real name when he goes out. He is cautious by nature, and he can lower his head and bend his back. He will run away at the slightest sign of trouble. He is a master of the art of running and will surely become a great master of the art of running."

"My son is 98% likely to be hiding his trump cards, practicing escape techniques, refining elixirs and poisons, and mastering supernatural powers. He is as steady as an old dog when still, and moves silently when he moves. This is the ultimate way of the art of stealth."

"Hmph, my son Fang Yuan, who holds the reins of power, is suspicious by nature, ruthless, and cunning. He has no weaknesses, but for the sake of immortality, he is willing to give up everything."

The three argued more and more fiercely, and there were signs that they were about to come to blows. Gu Ming could only watch helplessly as the three silver coins were left.

Forget it, how could three scoundrels possibly fight?

At some point, when the three realized they had really gotten into a fight, the mortal Gu Ming had already run away, and the senior brother Gu Ming even replaced his real body with a paper doll and secretly went behind the other Gu Mings to make voodoo dolls.

Gu Guming simply made a hasty escape, leaving only a phantom image repeating the insults like a broken record.

Gu Ming, the master of the Heavenly Realm, couldn't stand it anymore. How long was this competition going to go on? If he really wanted to see who was the supreme master of the Dao, then they should have a real fight.

He waved his hand and said:

"Alright, you three, stop hiding and come out. I have a plan. I'll set up a dungeon and let your three sons go down and practice together. Let's see who can survive to the end."

The three who were dragged out showed no shame whatsoever; instead, they walked out quite openly. After a moment's thought, they all chuckled awkwardly.

"Forget it, it might affect our brotherhood."

Zhetian Gu Ming was puzzled. Brothers going through dungeons together should strengthen their bond, so how could it affect their brotherhood?

He tried to imagine the scene of Han Paopao and the other two meeting in his mind, and he understood instantly.

Damn it, no way, we absolutely can't let those three meet.

Just imagine, given the personalities of these three, expecting them to work together to clear a dungeon is practically impossible.

If they encountered danger, Han Li would immediately shield Fang Yuan and Li Changshou in front of him without hesitation. However, he discovered that Li Changshou was actually a paper doll and spontaneously combusted without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Han Li retreated countless steps without saying a word, only to suddenly realize where Fang Yuan had gone.

Oh, turning his head, he saw that Fang Yuan was not only behind him, but also holding a teleportation gu in his hand. Oh no, not just a teleportation gu, Fang Yuan was also preparing to restart!

Thinking of this, Gu Minghu, the Heavenly Guardian, shuddered. Oh well, these three can't meet. If they do, they'll definitely try to kill the other two.

······
Senior Brother's World.

The world of Senior Brother is set in the primordial era, roughly after the two great calamities of the primordial era.

Although the war between the Lich King and the Demon King has ended, its aftershocks still linger. The Six Sages have returned to their positions and are using the world as a chessboard. The three religions of Humanity, Chan, and Jie are flourishing, and the Twelve Golden Immortals are beginning to show their prowess.

This is an era of great prosperity for the Immortal Path. Of course, it is the Immortal Path that is prosperous, but it is still difficult for ordinary cultivators. They don't even have the opportunity to participate.

If you don't have anyone above you, it's as difficult as climbing to heaven to get ahead.

Gu Ming transmigrated to this world very early, probably when he was a teenager. While herding sheep, he had heard villagers talk about immortals and strange things, which made him yearn for it.

He wanted to venture out to seek immortality, but alas, this world was wild and desolate, countless times larger than his previous life.

Especially since Gu Ming's location was in a remote corner of the Southern Continent, the difficulty of leaving one village for another was no less than swimming from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.

It's fair to say that his starting location was extremely unfavorable. If he were in Civilization, Gu Ming would have simply restarted the game until he got a perfect start.

Unfortunately, reality isn't a game; there's no way to restart. Gu Ming can only herd sheep, figure out how to improve his life, and then marry the most beautiful girl in the area.

Even if you can't cultivate immortality, you still have to live your life, right? So Gu Ming raised more and more sheep, becoming a well-known landlord in the area, and married the most beautiful girl.

Living a dull, tedious, and decadent life, day after day—

Until a big, healthy boy was born, and this boy later changed his own name to Changshou (meaning longevity), saying that he wanted to live a peaceful and carefree life until he died of old age.

Then one day, a cloud suddenly drifted in from the horizon, and on the cloud stood an old Taoist priest who called himself Master Qiyuan and came from the Du'e Sect under the Human Sect.

They said his son, Li Changshou, had immortal talent and was destined to be his disciple. Gu Ming's mind exploded. Qi Yuan, Du'e Sect, his son Li Changshou—wasn't this the world of his senior brother?

Wouldn't this wave take off?
Fortunately, Gu Ming knew Li Changshou's nature well. If he could not establish an emotional connection with Li Changshou, then Li Changshou would only protect him for life and ensure his peaceful death without disaster or illness because of their blood ties.

But this is not what Gu Ming wants; he also wants immortality, he wants to become an immortal!
Therefore, Gu Ming's heart skipped a beat at that moment, and then he shamelessly went to Qi Yuan to ask if the Immortal Path would accept older people, as he also wanted to cultivate.

It must be said that Qi Yuan was a good person. Seeing Gu Ming ask such a question, he didn't mind the trouble and checked Gu Ming's spiritual root. He found that this one seemed to be able to cultivate. Although the aptitude was ordinary, it was still acceptable.

Considering the small number of people in Xiaoqiong Peak, Qi Yuan agreed. However, it seemed a bit strange that father and son would both become disciples of the same person.

And so it became a situation where Li Changshou became Qi Yuan's disciple, and then, in place of his master, passed on his father's skills, making Gu Ming an older, novice Daoist...
Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and Gu Ming has also established himself in the world of his senior brothers.

He discovered that although Qi Yuan had rated him as having mediocre talent, he seemed to possess a talent that rewarded hard work, and he would make progress whenever he cultivated.

So much so that before Qi Yuan became an immortal, he and Li Changshou had already secretly become immortals one by one.

Currently, the highest-ranking person on Xiaoqiong Peak is Qi Yuan, the Peak Master of Xiaoqiong Peak.

The worst person on the peak, guess who it is? Wow, it's Qi Yuan again.

Currently, in the senior brother's world, the progress has been pushed back by Li Changshou.

He became the God of the Sea, a junior disciple of the Human Sect, and the Star Venus. He was also targeted by a group of bald men, and the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was just around the corner.

These are turbulent times, with the demon race in turmoil, attacking the Heavenly Court, and attempting to capture the Eastern King Duke. As the Venus, Li Changshou is inevitably drawn into the conflict.

There is such a thing as the Way of Heaven in this world, or a certain will, such as the will of Hongjun.

The world was created by an initial time traveler whose name is unknown, but due to some of his legendary deeds, Li Changshou called him Senior Lang.

Senior Lang transmigrated here before the chaos was created and became the only thinking entity in this universe, making him the ruler of this universe.

Throughout countless years, Senior Lang was always alone, the only thought entity. It was precisely this uniqueness that caused him to experience an indescribable loneliness, driving him to madness and giving rise to countless personalities.

One of the personalities, influenced by its obsession, called itself Hongjun. After Pangu created the world, it devoured the other personalities and, together with the Heavenly Dao, killed the main personality.

He replaced the Heavenly Dao with himself and made the world follow the original script in order to achieve a cycle and seal the world, until he found the universe before Senior Lang's time travel and devoured it!
Therefore, Hongjun does not allow anyone to alter his script; the operation of the world must follow his will.

Now, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to arrive, so a person who can meet the calamity is needed, such as Jiang Ziya, who is in charge of the Investiture of the Gods.

Gu Ming happened to know that Qi Yuan was Jiang Ziya, or rather, that Jiang Ziya was his reincarnation.

Therefore, in order for the script to function properly, Hongjun needed Qiyuan to die and be reincarnated, which led to the story of the Eastern King Duke. Through the influence of the calamity, Qiyuan was able to be reborn.

Even after the place is reopened, the soul remains, but is it still the same person as before?
Won't Jiang Ziya's experiences and memories affect Qi Yuan?

Gu Ming didn't know.

Qi Yuan had been kind to Li Changshou, and also to him. Gu Ming had tried to change things, but he couldn't fight against the powerful, especially since that powerful figure was Hongjun, who was even more powerful than Buzhou Mountain.

Even though he knew the entire script, all he could do was refrain from interfering to avoid creating an even darker ending.

But things are different now. With the hanging up, there is justice.

Gu Ming, who had just returned from the chat group, grinned maliciously. Now, I'm not afraid of anything!

On the other hand, Li Changshou also realized the problem.

Bai Ze had just divined that a calamity was about to begin when Qi Yuan, the old Taoist, was about to go to the Heavenly Court to take up his post. Li Changshou tried to dissuade him, but Qi Yuan was very stubborn and insisted on going.

Li Changshou felt exhausted, thinking to himself, "Master, can't you just relax a bit and be like my father, so I don't have to worry about you?"

However, Li Changshou was a person who respected his teacher and valued the Dao, so he agreed and even sent two paper figures of the Golden Immortal realm to accompany Qi Yuan as guards to protect his master's safety.

The journey was initially smooth; Qi Yuan successfully completed his report to the Eastern Heavenly Gate. However, as Venus, a powerful figure in the Heavenly Court, he was simply too popular.

So much so that the second most powerful figure in Heaven, the Eastern King, was extremely enthusiastic towards Qi Yuan, engaging in awkward small talk and even personally seeing Qi Yuan off.

So, when they were in the lower realm, as expected, an unexpected event occurred.

When the demons attacked, the small celestial army led by Dong Wanggong was completely wiped out and routed. Only Dong Wanggong and Qi Yuan, who left behind two paper figures as guards, survived.

The two paper figures were incredibly clever. Without saying a word, they knocked Qi Yuan unconscious, stuffed him into their animal-skin magic bag, put him in their sleeves, and ran away.

However, Dong Wanggong was also unable to withstand the pressure. He was defeated after a short time in front of the enemy. Moreover, when the paper figures tried to help Dong Wanggong, they discovered that Dong Wanggong was poisoned.

As a result, the paper figure's protective aura was broken, its combat power greatly reduced, and its true form was revealed. The hidden entity also discovered that the paper figure was Li Changshou's incarnation.

The hidden entity became even more excited, with the Eastern King Duke and the Water God Taibai Jinxing appearing in disguise – a double whammy!
Then the battle broke out. The two paper figures, hidden in the shadows and burdened by the burdensome Dongwanggong, couldn't hold out for long and lost contact with Li Changshou.

At this moment, Li Changshou rushed over with all his might, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Although he was afraid of death, he also had many trump cards and could not bear to see his master die.

Fortunately, Li Changshou's cultivation was exceptionally high, and he arrived in a short time. He even used various trump cards to kill the demonic tiger that had nearly shattered the paper figure.

The demonic tiger's enormous head was unfolded by the magic weapon Qiankun Ruler and tossed high into the air, but then another unexpected event occurred.

Within the head of the demon tiger, there was a golden crow surrounded by white flames, which was none other than the demon prince—Lu Ya!
Regardless of their identities or power, the two were extremely at odds, and Lu Ya saw that Qi Yuan was important to Li Changshou, so he took action.

A demon emperor's jade seal forced Li Changshou, who was caught off guard due to his concern for his master, to retreat repeatedly. Subsequently, under the influence of the calamity, Lu Ya's murderous intent surged.

Jinwu Lu Ya unleashed the most powerful and yang true fire in the world, attacking the paper Taoist.

Under the immense power of the Sun's True Fire, the paper doll burned to ashes. Before dying, it took out a leather bag and was about to throw it away.

Inside is the old Taoist Qi Yuan.
But it was too late. This was the true fire of the sun, and anyone who touched it would die instantly. It had already burned the animal skin bag, and the figure of an old Taoist priest appeared inside.

"Do not!!!"

Li Changshou's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes looked like they were about to burst!
