The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 919 - 430: You Are My Child (3)

Her air was light as clouds, her demeanor cold and indifferent.

Could she truly be oblivious to pain?

This is no supreme position.

This is clearly the most terrifying curse in the world.

The laughable thing is that her students thought she had succumbed to greed for the supreme, plotting that murder.

If she really craved the supreme position, why not practice the You Ying Law.

"No wonder."

Tang Ling’s eyes were vacant as she mumbled, "Over the years, the Ether Association banned the dissemination of the You Ying Law, and the power of the Heavenly Person was no longer disclosed. Due to this, the power of order has considerably weakened, and many believed the President acted arbitrarily, unwilling to spread the Heavenly Person’s power. Now it appears, she had her reasons."

Su Youzhu also understood, for she deduced another characteristic of the Supreme Law.

Nourishment!

The You Ying Law requires nourishment.

The Candle Light Law also requires nourishment.

The more people on this evolution chain, the more nourishment provided.

Correspondingly, the curse grows stronger as well.

Because the You Ying Law’s associated Holy Object has perished, it remains unaffected.

The Candle Light Law, however, is because the President bears all the curse alone.

This means, the more Heavenly Persons, the stronger the curse, and the heavier her burden!

She does not refuse to transmit the Heavenly Person’s power.

But she is powerless to do so.

"So that’s how it is."

Gu Jianlin whispered.

The curse that should have been borne by the successors was entirely taken on by the President alone.

Perhaps every time Gu Jianlin used the Heavenly Personification, he was harming this woman.

Yet he was utterly unaware, even recklessly using this power.

He dug his hands deep into the ground.

Regretting his ignorance, hating his stupidity.

The President knew that each additional Heavenly Person would weigh heavily on her, yet she still passed this power onto him, just to give him another means to survive well.

How ironic.

She gave everything for this world, and this is the outcome she received.

The President’s aura was already faint, her heartbeat and breathing had even ceased, she lay there quietly as if asleep, her body growing increasingly ethereal, as if it were about to dissolve into the golden glow.

Gu Jianlin took out the half fruit from the Qilin Wedge, his hands trembling.

The Red King once said that such a concentrated Life and Death Authority, even half would be enough to bring the dead to life, it’s a remedy a hundred times stronger than an Eternal Bone, and he wouldn’t lie about such matters.

As he took out this fruit, the translucent flesh dissipated like mist.

Only a round, jade-like seed remained in his palm.

The mist spread, shrouding the slumbering woman, and the slightly trembling youth.

Gu Jianlin witnessed an intense phenomenon of spiritual vision before his eyes, seeing a black god in the burning sea of fire, in his palm, a fruit also melted and dissolved into vast mist.

Someone lay on the burning altar, lightning and thunder illuminating a pale face.

The god lightly lifted a black Cross Iron Sword, cutting his finger, smearing his blood on the other’s brow, ancient songs murmured in the void, like myriad departed souls chanting in unison.

Their figures in the flames were so ethereal, as if originating from billions of years ago.

Gu Jianlin vaguely understood something, he picked up the Qilin Wedge, cut his finger, applying the blood to the woman’s brow, instantly the pervasive mist vibrated, engulfing her form like the sea tide.

Gu Jianlin too was enveloped by the dream, as if submerged in an already extinguished past.

Tang Ling held her breath, realizing this was a crucial ritual.

Life or death, hinges on this moment.

Su Youzhu was also watching this scene, sensing the world reversing.

It’s the law of life and death!

"Huai Yin, Yan Li."

Taihua stood with hands behind her back, gazing at the calm Mediterranean, softly speaking, "It’s really unsightly."

On the coastline was a bar, blood-stained brothers struggled to their feet, leaving behind the wining and dining on the table, fixated on the figure in the sunlight, ready to flee at any moment.

"Seeing you two so cowardly, I’m not here to kill you."

Taihua raised her hand, ordering a server to deliver a metal box to them, indifferently saying, "This is your supply for the next six months, as well as the promotion materials you’re missing."

The young Qing and Chi exchanged a glance, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

"What’s there to be surprised about? You’re my children, why would I watch you die?"

Taihua chuckled coldly, "No need to be grateful, as long as you two have a bit of filial piety, do me one thing."

Silence persisted for a moment.

"What is it?"

Qing and Chi softly asked.

"Help me kill your teacher."

Taihua’s words were shocking, like a sudden thunderclap exploding.

Qing and Chi were startled and frightened.

"The Candle Light Divine Tree is awakening, the curse’s power is spreading, he simply can’t withstand it."

Taihua lightly said, "He... is no longer who he was."

Seagulls flapped away at the shore, the woman gazed at the glistening sea, her eyes seeming lonely.

At this moment, she sensed something, slightly stunned.

Unbeknownst to her, a boy sat beside her, quietly accompanying her to watch the ebb and flow of the tides.
