I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 166 - 1: Slaying the He Clan and Rejecting Dong Zhuo, the Gu Clan’s Hidden Dragon Emerges

Chapter 166: Chapter 1: Slaying the He Clan and Rejecting Dong Zhuo, the Gu Clan’s Hidden Dragon Emerges

[Gu Xi has passed away.]

[He was the first regent and guardian minister in your family, whose achievements for the Han Dynasty cannot be replicated. Though a minister, he had already surpassed the Emperor in many ways.]

[His accomplishments will shine in the historical texts with an irreplaceable light.]

[Achievement unlocked: Guardian of the Orphaned Throne, Savior from Peril, Pillar of the Nation, Triple Support of the Dragon Court.... Pioneer.]

Guardian of the Orphaned Throne (High Achievement): Accepted the Emperor’s entrusted orphan, governing the court.

Savior from Peril (Rare Achievement): Rescued the people of the nation in times of crisis... His virtues shine across Kyushu.

Triple Support of the Dragon Court (Rare Achievement): As a regent, stabilized the country’s foundations.

Pillar of the Nation (Rare Achievement): Carried the weight of a nation alone, shouldering the nation’s rise and fall.

....

A series of prompts continuously flashed, revealing that the achievements obtained even surpassed Gu Kang’s.

There was even a hidden achievement!

Pioneer (Hidden Achievement): His thinking transcended his era, stepping beyond the times, greatly altering the development of ideological systems throughout history.

[This is a hidden achievement. Would you like to settle it now?]

(Note: The current achievement is temporarily incomplete. If a successor can extend this system, a large number of achievement points will be awarded, and the exclusive effects of the hidden title will be activated.)

(Note: Players can settle at any time.)

Staring at the game prompt before him, Gu Yi was momentarily stunned.

Rare achievement?

Though he had already anticipated that the achievements brought by Gu Xi wouldn’t be less than those of Gu Kang.

But Gu Yi never expected it to be like this.

What does this mean?

Is it saying that among the Gu Clan’s descendants, someone has inherited Gu Xi’s thoughts?

Gu Yi pondered carefully, then silently nodded.

Gu Xi had always placed great emphasis on the education of his clan’s descendants, and under his guidance, it was impossible for these descendants not to have inherited Gu Xi’s thoughts.

So, is the game’s prompt saying that Gu Xi’s reforms haven’t completely failed?

Gu Yi couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

His current achievement points were actually almost sufficient for manipulation.

Even if other Gu Clan descendants couldn’t bring him achievement points recently, just relying on Gu Kang’s rare title with its effects.

In a few more years, he would have enough achievement points for manipulation.

Why not take this opportunity to give it a try?

Gu Yi couldn’t help but recall the current manipulable Gu Clan descendants.

In truth, for him, there are only three main targets.

——The first, naturally, is Gu Wei.

But although Gu Wei has some talent in politics, he lacks in command and martial force.

In times of chaos, battles are inevitable.

Looking at the previous situation of manipulating Gu Xiao.

Even if Gu Yi could personally manipulate, it wouldn’t be enough to make up for the command gap; after all, he was just a graduate who had never been exposed to such matters.

At the very least, he must meet the standard in martial force to fully leverage Gu Yi’s foresight.

The second is Gu Tao.

This indeed is a very good choice.

Gu Tao excels in both command and martial force, through manipulation Gu Yi can help him overcome political shortcomings.

Just like Gu Xiao from the past.

The third one is Gu Chen.

Although Gu Chen still seems quite ordinary right now.

Based on the effect of the Longevity Card, the attributes of the Profound Level tool are definitely more than meets the eye.

Gu Chen is an uncertain factor.

He might very well create a miracle.

Why not wait a bit longer at this opportunity to see if Gu Chen will undergo some significant change?

Thinking of this, Gu Yi immediately made a choice, deciding not to settle yet.

This is indeed an opportunity.

If it can truly be achieved, it may directly resolve the big issue of his lack of achievement points.

The most crucial thing is that Gu Yi still holds hope for Gu Chen.

He wants to see.

In a desperate situation, can Gu Chen explode with attributes far surpassing others?

....

From the moment when the most dazzling person of an era passes away;

——Other heroes hidden in the era will begin to shine from this moment on.

Luoyang.

When Gu Chen heard the news, he was completely stunned.

"Grandfather has passed away?"

His expression drastically changed, and he hurriedly rushed forward, grabbing the messenger’s arm, asking urgently, "What exactly happened?"

"Young master...."

The messenger wept bitterly, sorrowfully recounting the detailed battle situation.

Gu Chen’s body began to tremble.

He found it hard to believe that his elder, who even with a hunched figure stood tall, had actually passed away.

But as the messenger completed the recount of the entire battle.

He had no choice but to accept it all.

In an instant, his eyes reddened.

Gu Chen wasn’t a fool.

Though he appeared quite ordinary, he was still a normal person.

Now, after hearing the detailed battle situation, how could he not realize where the problem was?

Something went wrong in Luoyang!

It was him who indirectly caused Gu Xi’s death.

Instantly, an overwhelming sense of guilt continuously surged through his consciousness, and he immediately wanted to take up arms and charge out of the mansion.

But the other Gu Clan descendants within the mansion stopped him.

"Ziyan, don’t be rash. Have you forgotten Grandfather’s instructions?"

"Grandfather once said, no matter what, we must stabilize the situation in Luoyang, and wait for the other brothers to return to Luoyang."

"..."

At this moment, everyone’s expression looked equally grim, but compared to Gu Chen, they were much calmer.

These were all Gu Clan descendants.

Although not direct line like Gu Chen, there was no hierarchy of status within the Gu Clan.

Gu Xi had long made comprehensive preparations.

He dispatched capable descendants to various places, each with their own role to play.
