Reverend Insanity: The Gacha System

When the Rank 9 Immortal Gu appeared before them, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Everyone present was stunned into silence, their eyes widening in disbelief. It was a Rank 9 Gu, a level of power that even throughout the vast Gu World was known to be unattainable by anyone except the legendary Venerables.

The Love Gu floated gracefully, its translucent, heart-shaped body glowing with a mesmerizing pink and golden hue. Soft pulses of energy radiated from it, filling the space with warmth and a faint, melodious hum. Slowly, almost deliberately, it drifted toward Li Tian, circling him once before settling lightly on his shoulder. The sight was breathtaking, and the moment felt like an eternity.

The Sect Leader, her usually composed demeanor shattered, gasped audibly. "Oh my god... It is the Love Gu! To think it would choose you of all people... This must mean... you are destined to become the Fairy of this generation." Her voice carried a mixture of shock and awe, her words struggling to match the gravity of the moment.

Beside Li Tian, Yue Shiyin stood frozen, her eyes locked on the Love Gu. She could barely breathe as recognition dawned upon her. She had read about the Love Gu in the Legends of Ren Zu, a Gu so powerful it could subtly defy fate itself, said to appear only in the presence of a profound and boundless love. Her thoughts raced, disbelief giving way to guilt and awe.

'The love Li Tian has shown me... it's this immense? Enough to draw the Love Gu itself? And I—' Her thoughts faltered as tears welled in her eyes. 'I doubted him. I questioned his sincerity. This... this is my fault.' She clenched her fists, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion as the truth became undeniable.

"Sect Leader, is this truly the legendary Rank 9 Love Gu?" Li Tian's voice cracked as tears streamed down his face, his emotions spilling over with every word. "To think that my love would be so profound, so real, that even the Love Gu would recognize it." He turned to Yue Shiyin, his gaze soft yet brimming with uncontainable emotion. "Yue Shiyin... I can't stop crying. All this time, I thought no one would ever recognize our love... but now, even the heavens bear witness to it."

"Don't cry, Li Tian," she said softly, her voice trembling yet filled with tenderness. She reached out, her hand resting gently on his head, her fingers threading through his hair in a comforting gesture. Pulling him into a warm embrace, she held him close, their hearts beating in unison. The Love Gu remained perched on his shoulder, its radiant glow pulsing rhythmically, as though it acknowledged the depth of their connection.

Yue Shiyin's voice wavered as she whispered, "You've endured so much, and yet your love remained steadfast. I never thought I could be the reason for something so profound." She leaned back slightly, her hands cupping his face as she gazed into his tear-filled eyes. "I doubted you, but now... now I understand everything. Forgive me, Li Tian."

Li Tian shook his head, a small smile breaking through his tears. "There's nothing to forgive, Shiyin. If anything, it's me who should thank you—for always being there, even when fate tried to tear us apart."

The Sect Leader, who had been silently observing, cleared her throat, her tone calm but laced with curiosity. "The Love Gu choosing you is no small matter. It means that you will become the fairy this time and will become a Gu Immortal tomarrow. The heavens themselves have recognized your love as something unparalleled."

"Gu Immortal? I thought it was impossible to become a Gu Immortal, as no mortal has ever seen one," Li Tian and Yue Shiyin exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with shock and awe.

"That is because Immortals do not interfere in mortal affairs," a deep and steady voice resonated through the room, commanding immediate attention. All eyes turned as an old man stepped into the chamber, his long, flowing beard swaying gently with each step. His robes, shimmered faintly under the room's light. His presence exuded an overwhelming aura, a tangible pressure that seemed to fill every corner of the space, making the mortals present instinctively hold their breath.

The Gu Immortal's gaze swept over the room, his sharp, ancient eyes settling briefly on the Love Gu perched on Li Tian's shoulder before shifting to the Sect Leader. "The appearance of the Love Gu is no trivial matter," he said gravely, his tone carrying both authority and wisdom. 'It means the fate relevation is correct and we need to prepare for it.'

"Li Tian, your Immortal ascesion is going to be tomarrow come to the back of the sect," The Gu Immortal said as he was about to leave.

"Senior Gu Immortal, there is no need to worry about me," the intruder's voice was cold, his tone dripping with malice, "as your fate will end in three breaths." The words had barely left his mouth when a figure materialized before them, his appearance sudden and violent, like a storm.

The newcomer wore flowing red robes, their fabric shimmering with a strange, almost otherworldly glow. On the back of his robe, the initials "CO" were emblazoned in an elaborate golden script, radiating an ominous light that made the room feel heavier. His presence exuded pure menace, and the air around him seemed to distort under the sheer intensity of his aura.

In a single, fluid motion, he raised his hand, summoning an ethereal sword energy that gleamed with blinding brilliance. The Sword Path energy, crackled with destructive intent, its edges so sharp that the very air hissed and split around it. Without hesitation, he unleashed an Immortal Killer Move, the attack so swift and precise it was nearly imperceptible to the mortal eye.

The Gu Immortal of the Spirit Affinity Sect barely had time to react. His expression froze, shock and realization flashing in his ancient eyes as the sword cleaved through him. A burst of energy erupted from the point of contact, engulfing him in a brilliant flash before his form dissipated into scattered fragments of light, his essence obliterated in a single breath.

The red-robed Gu Immortal stood amidst the aftermath, his gaze cold and unyielding as he turned to face the stunned onlookers. The silence that followed was deafening, the weight of the moment pressing down on everyone in the room like an unspoken judgment.
