1. Verdant Great Sun — Ambition, Reputation, and Recklessness

Origin

Born from Ren Zu’s left eye.

Main Gu Worms

• Reputation Gu
• Divine Travel Gu
• Fixed Immortal Travel Gu
• Wine Gu
• Vanity Gu

The Story

Verdant Great Sun was proud, passionate, and reckless. He deeply loved his sister, Desolate Ancient Moon, but she rejected him.

Seeking a way to reach her, he asked Wisdom Gu for guidance and eventually refined Divine Travel Gu. However, Divine Travel Gu activated randomly whenever he drank alcohol, constantly teleporting him across the world.

Unfortunately, Verdant Great Sun loved drinking.

His drunken teleportations eventually trapped him within the terrifying Ordinary Abyss. Later, Hairy Men captured him and attempted to refine him into Eternal Gu.

He escaped only because Vanity Gu exploded and caused chaos.

Eventually, he refined Fixed Immortal Travel Gu to stabilize his movement, but his obsession with glory and reputation never disappeared.

He spent his life bathing in fame, wine, and admiration until he finally died from overindulgence.

Inside the Door of Life and Death, his soul became heavier than a mountain due to his obsession with reputation.

Meaning

Verdant Great Sun represents humanity’s endless desire for:

• fame
• recognition
• glory
• admiration

His tragedy shows how pride and vanity can enslave people more thoroughly than chains.

Origin

Born from Ren Zu’s right eye.

Main Gu Worms

• Success Gu
• Failure Gu
• Wisdom Gu
• Cognition Gu
• Love Gu

The Story

When Ren Zu became trapped in the Door of Life and Death, Desolate Ancient Moon desperately tried to save him.

Without Courage Gu or Faith Gu, she consulted Cognition Gu, which gave her two options:

• use Space Cave and save only Ren Zu’s soul
• climb Cheng Bai Mountain to obtain Success Gu

She chose the harder path.

During her journey, Love Gu manipulated events against her. An enraged Rockman attacked her, and she was forced to rip out its heart to survive. In response, Love Gu collapsed Cheng Bai Mountain.

Buried beneath the rubble, Desolate Ancient Moon endlessly searched for Success Gu.

Again and again, she found only Failure Gu.

To continue searching, she traded away her youth and middle age to Wisdom Gu. Eventually, she died of old age surrounded by countless failures.

Meaning

Her story represents:

• the search for meaning
• humanity’s obsession with success

Life offers no guaranteed success.

Meaning must be forged through persistence despite repeated failure.

Origin

Born from Ren Zu’s right hand.

Main Gu Worms

• Soul Gu
• Ice Gu
• Success Gu

The Story

He accompanied Desolate Ancient Moon during her quest for Success Gu but failed to emotionally support her. After her death beneath Cheng Bai Mountain, he finally located the Success Gu she had sought her entire life.

However, the Gu was cracked and incomplete because she had already traded away her lifespan.

Holding the broken Success Gu, Northern Dark Ice Soul felt no joy — only regret.

For the first time, he realized that pure logic without emotional connection was empty.

Without her family protecting her, she quickly collapsed under the pressure of reality and died.

• betrayal
• danger

He used Strength Gu and Effort Gu to smash through obstacles and defeat terrifying Predicaments.

Born from Ren Zu’s thoughts and intellect.

Main Gu Worms

• Wisdom Gu
• Cognition Gu
• Thought Gu

The Story

Carefree Wisdom Heart pursued peace, understanding, and enlightenment.

Unlike Great Strength True Martial, he preferred solving problems through intelligence rather than violence.

Using Wisdom Gu and Cognition Gu, he navigated countless dangers and understood the harsh truths of the world.

But that understanding became unbearable.

The suffering of his family and the cruelty of reality gradually crushed him emotionally.

Eventually, he died from despair and mental exhaustion.

Meaning

As the world changed around him, shifting landscapes buried him alive.

The explosion killed him, but those scattered fragments became the seeds of ordinary humanity.

Meaning

His story represents:

• evolution
• intellectual pursuit
• sacrifice for future generations

Humanity exists because someone was willing to destroy themselves to create a future.

The Final Sacrifice of Ren Zu

After all ten children died, Ren Zu gathered their corpses and inheritances.

He realized that every child had failed because they embodied extreme, unbalanced aspects of humanity.

So Ren Zu performed the ultimate Human Path refinement.

Using himself and his children as materials, he refined the modern human race.

Unlike the extreme physiques of the ten children, ordinary humans possessed balanced potential.

Humans became weaker individually — but far more adaptable.

This became the true strength of humanity.

The Core Message of the Ten Children

The ten children are not merely characters.

They are fragments of humanity itself.

Each represents a human tendency pushed to its absolute extreme:

Together, their stories form the philosophical backbone of Reverend Insanity and explain why Human Path is ultimately the path of struggle, balance, adaptation, and defiance against fate itself.
