A Gu named self, found when Ren Zu inspects his heart of loneliness.
In Luo Po Valley, after Ren Zu gives his original heart to hope, a voice speaks beside him. Self Gu looks very real, almost like himself, but many times smaller, about the size of an ant. Self Gu says it has been inside his body since he gained life. Finding and understanding himself, Self Gu says, is the most important thing in life, and he himself is the most reliable thing in the world. Self Gu tells him to walk a brand new road rather than fate’s traces, and that as long as he wants to walk, there will be a road to step on. Self Gu tells him he has to think about leaving. Cognition Gu then jumps out of his mind, gives him independence wings, and warns that on a new road other Gu are unreliable and he can only rely on Self Gu. Cognition Gu vanishes. Self Gu then tells him to walk ahead and carve the path of his road of life, a road unique to himself that only he can walk. ch. 646
