"
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains
" ~ 001 pulled out another one of his favorite songs.
"Mommy, mommy what's he singing?" ~ A young child pulled on her mother's dress.
"Now 'Ji Ji' I told you to not ask questions about the gu masters, they are far above us in every way. And we will never truly be able to comprehend what they do." ~ The mother bowed to 001.
"It's a song about Immanuel, he's the man who died for us, or at least that's what they say." ~ 001 spoke faintly as if trying to remember more about it.
"Like Ren Zu?" ~ The kid interrupted his thoughts.
001 looked at the kid, then squatted down to the kid's height, "Who's this Ren Zu?"
"You Don't know? Mommy sai..."
Her mouth is blocked by the mother's hand. ~ "I apologize for anything she might have said to offend you!"
The moment she finished, she heard a deep growl.
Immediately she felt sweat drench her back.
"I asked who this Ren Zu person is. Not for an apology!"
"I can answer that!" ~ A rather old man, went between 001 and the woman, presumably her dad.
001 looked at him and then smiled. ~ "Do you like tea?"

"Hmm, interesting! Truly interesting! Especially that part where strength Gu abandoned him!" ~ 001 laughed for a bit after saying that. ~ "Time Gu is hidden within the River of Time, our lifespan will be washed away by the river water." ~ He paused for a moment. ~ "Its a very poetic book"
001 closed his eyes to ponder on the information for a bit.
Gulping, the old man waited for 001 to say something, but after half an hour he started to wonder whether or not 001 had fallen asleep.
Suddenly 001 opened his eyes. ~ "Hmm but something plagues me. . ."
The old man gulped, "And what might that be sir gu master?"
"Why is it not in the school library? I would have surely seen it if it was there."
The old man sighed with relief, while most lone cultivators didn't kill mortals, because there was a heavy fine of 10 primeval stones, it didn't stop all of them. ~ "That's because it's considered a child fairytale, nothing more than something to keep oneself entertained"
"I beg to differ! If such a book is read worldwide, in this backwash of a world. Then that means someone incredibly powerful wants to keep it circulating, and one must ask themselves why are they making it circulate, in other words, those on top have deemed it valuable enough to spend an immense amount of resources to keep it circulating. And the only reason I can think of is that they want to either spread a lie to control the masses or keep the history of this world alive. Personally, I think it's the second option because who would spend so much to keep such a ridiculous lie that no one believes alive?" ~ 001 then stood up, tossed a primeval stone to the old man, then left.
