The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 983 - 459: Century Collaboration (2)

Gu Jianlin vaguely understood the sense of mission that the President was burdened with.

Proud as she was, if the curse of the Candle Light Divine Tree couldn’t be ended by her, it would be a great humiliation.

Imagine, any parent in the world wouldn’t want to see their offspring repeat their mistakes.

"When I said you did well, I didn’t mean you mastered Primordial Return early, nor that you fought through the Divine Ruins, but that you never gave up on your master even at the last moment."

Huai Yin chuckled lightly and said, "You are the most filial child she ever taught, you haven’t let her down."

Gu Jianlin was slightly stunned.

"That’s why she gave her only personal affection to you."

Huai Yin gave him a meaningful look with an indescribable envy in her eyes.

Finally, his gaze fell on the bracelet on the young man’s wrist.

Gu Jianlin looked at the simple string of Buddha beads, the relic left to him by the President, the key to Tian Ding Temple.

"When she made this decision, I knew it was a sure-death situation. I asked her if she wanted to leave anything to the world, even just a few words. But she refused, saying she had already left the best gift to the world. Thinking back now, that would be you, she had acknowledged you."

Huai Yin drank tea leisurely as he said, "Tian Ding Temple, we were all envious back then, but she didn’t leave it to anyone. Because none of us could gain her approval, but only you could."

Gu Jianlin touched the Buddha beads on his wrist and felt a faint warmth.

The next words from Huai Yin surprised him.

"I didn’t waste my life delaying the Vermilion Bird Venerate."

Huai Yin said quietly.

Gu Jianlin raised his head in shock: "Are you okay?"

Huai Yin replied grumpily, "Do I look okay to you? The Vermilion Bird Venerate is absurdly strong, wielding the power of the Third Law. It was my first time facing an Ancient Supreme who could simultaneously use the Candle Light Law and the You Ying Law. Almost shattered my old bones!"

At this point, he spat out a mouthful of blood and calmly took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Commander Lu acted as if it was a normal occurrence, as if these were just routine operations.

But Gu Jianlin’s eyes trembled slightly because he indeed felt his teacher’s Life Rhythm was extremely weak.

As if it could be swept away by the wind at any moment.

"What I want to tell you is, the Vermilion Bird Clan is very dangerous."

Huai Yin gave him a deep look: "This Ancient Supreme can now blend perfectly into the human world, perhaps even has a human identity. Half a year ago, it must have taken something crucial from your father to become this powerful."

Gu Jianlin thought of the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident and fell into silence. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Before the meeting, Old Master Si had already compiled the details of the Blood Moon Slaughter and uploaded it online.

Huai Yin had read the relevant information before arriving and only remarked, "I never imagined Gu Ci’an was carrying the secret of the Third Law. Even more surprising is the greed of the Bai Ze Clan. If you want to uncover the truth, you must start with the Bai Ze Clan, only then can you understand everything."

"The reason your mother was being hunted was because the mark of the Vermilion Bird appeared on her."

He sneered, "In the Order World, it’s a rare bargaining chip."

Gu Jianlin’s eyes became slightly cold, and he responded with a soft hmm.

"Unfortunately, dealing with the Order World, including the Bai Ze Clan behind the scenes, is not so easy."

Huai Yin raised his eyes and said faintly, "I wish to stand up for your master, but I’m too old now. Returning to the peak is as hard as climbing to heaven. Even if I try, it will take time."

Thud.

Commander Lu placed his teacup on the table.

"This is a war of the Extraordinary World."

The old man said sternly, "War is like starting a business; first, you need enough capital to attract others to invest. You must be strong enough to let others see the hope of winning, only then can you gather allies."

"The problem is we are weak, the combat power of the Dawn Combat Sequence is not infinite. Yet the Pseudo Ancestors of the Bai Ze Clan can reincarnate infinitely. If they get insane enough to integrate all the power of the Ether Association with the Ancient God Clan, it will be a massive disaster. Above Demigod level power, there’s currently only me."

He paused: "Huai Yin can only count as half, and now Jing Ci is holding the fort alone. The Holy Land Level combat power only consists of Lu Zijin and Chen Bojun. Of course, now you too are counted."

Gu Jianlin was being stared at, slightly frowning.

"We only have Peak City as our base; it’s a primary coastal city. The forces of the Order World can come and go as they please; it’s uncontrollable. Moreover, before leaving, the Order World dismantled the entire city’s Alchemy Matrix. Currently, only Black Cloud City can serve as a main base."

Commander Lu said coldly: "That place is on the border of Peak City; no one knows what’s inside. There might be many Pseudo Ancestors lurking, and clearing it out will require effort."

Suddenly, Gu Jianlin said, "No need."

Commander Lu squinted his eyes, speaking in a cold tone: "Black Cloud City is a strategic point, to want to..."

"I’m not questioning your strategy; I’m saying Black Cloud City has already been cleaned out."

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "Two hundred and thirty-four Pseudo Ancestors are all dead. Besides, there’s no significant combat power left in Black Cloud City. The strongest guardian of Peak City is just Ji Ye. My Shadow waited for a long time, with no reinforcements arriving. I had hoped to eliminate more combat power, what a pity."

Back when he landed from West Port, his main body and avatar split into two groups.

As long as Gu Jianlin could complete the Blood Sacrifice at the Deep Space Technology Building, then the avatar would be promoted too.

The Sixth-Rank Soul Master was enough to sweep Black Cloud City.

After all, his Sixth Rank was not an ordinary Sixth Rank.

Commander Lu frowned; this calm tone inexplicably made people feel a chill down their spines.

Huai Yin’s lips curled into an amused smile, and he said, "If I’m not mistaken, you brat should be able to attempt the power of the Third Law now, right? Using the Candle Light Law and You Ying Law together, exciting, isn’t it?"

Gu Jianlin thought for a moment: "Not bad, in the Seventh-Order Holy Realm, no one is my match."

Huai Yin sipped his tea silently, but his eyes revealed a touch of emotion.

Unmatched in the Seventh-Order Holy Realm.

Such understated words.

For Gu Jianlin, it seemed as ordinary as usual.

But for others, it sounded like a ghost story.

Commander Lu’s gaze towards the young man changed, someone the President valued must have extraordinary abilities.

Yet no one expected that the potential Gu Jianlin demonstrated was even more terrifying.

"Regarding the lack of combat power, I have an idea."

Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and seriously said, "I think we can ask for some help."

Huai Yin seemed to have a bad premonition and frowned while playing with his teacup.

"Who?"

Commander Lu frowned and asked.

Gu Jianlin said one word at a time: "Red King, Jiang Yanli."

At the Peak City train station, the sea breeze howled as travelers opened their suitcases and came out of the station, in an endless stream.

"Cough cough, cough cough cough!"

In the noisy crowd, weak coughing echoed.

Jiang Yanli sat weakly in a wheelchair with a sickly expression, the phone in his pocket trembling slightly.

Seeing the caller’s name, his eyes brightened like an old father.

"Hello, my dear niece, what’s the matter?"

He patted his chest and said fiercely, "Is someone bullying you? Uncle will avenge you!"
