If they fail to seize the opportunity... even if they don't fall into decline, the prestige of the Gu Clan will rapidly diminish.
Currently, the Gu Clan already lacks deep roots in the hearts of the people.
If they truly wish to lay the foundation for eternal glory, they must have talented individuals generation after generation, forging ahead regardless of obstacles, until the Gu Clan's name becomes common knowledge among the people, only then can they be considered to have made initial achievements.
It is precisely because of this.
Gu Kang only brought Gu Cheng with him this time.
Since the passing of Gu Xiao, he has been carrying the entire Gu Clan on his shoulders, and he is well aware of the talents of his two younger siblings.
They are sufficient for maintaining status, but insufficient for establishing great achievements.
Now, there is no longer any glory to be gained from following a new ruler for them; they can only reach the pinnacle through their own efforts.
