The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1001 - 470: Collaboration

Gu Jianlin’s right hand, holding the spoon, trembled slightly as a chill spread throughout his body. He frowned and said, "Surname Bai, name Ze? If it’s true, he shouldn’t be coming for you but directly for me."

Old Master Si hadn’t said anything yet when his phone rang with a gentle voice.

"Yes, I will come directly for you."

The old man was startled and wanted to hang up the phone, but was stopped.

Gu Jianlin waved his hand to signal him to step aside, then picked up the phone and put it to his ear: "Bai Ze Venerable?"

Having once been in close contact with the old monster, there was no need to be scared by just a phone call, not to mention it was uncertain whether it was the Supreme himself on the other end. He wasn’t the ignorant boy he once was.

"If that’s what you want to call me, that’s fine, though strictly speaking, I am not Him, but a human consciousness that split off from Him. The human name I gave myself is Bai Ze. I am the investor of Order, the guide for humanity, or the Guardian before doomsday. Of course, more people call me..."

Bai Ze paused: "God."

Gu Jianlin fell into silence. If the other party was indeed the ruler of the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion, then he certainly had the qualification to call himself a god, just as He said, as the investor of the Order World.

The Red King once thought that the appearance of Inheritance Paths was to provide spirituality to some hidden existence.

The six Supremes all opened up their Authority, allowing humanity to evolve.

The Ether Association, including its predecessor, was able to become the world’s largest force because of the support from the Bai Ze Clan, or rather, the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion. The biggest investor was Bai Ze.

"If you intend to use this to pressure me, you’re overthinking it. Although I indeed come from the orthodox line of Order, I have no fondness for them. Moreover, it’s likely that you were the main instigator behind Grandmaster’s death. Dealing with me is not a wise choice." Gu Jianlin fiddled with the phone, using chopsticks to dip some tofu soup, sketching a profile on the table.

On the phone, Bai Ze gently asked, "Why?"

"Because if I know you well enough, you can’t defeat me."

Gu Jianlin replied expressionlessly: "Shall I hang up?"

After a brief silence, Bai Ze chuckled softly: "Then I’ll look forward to your victory, because I wish to see more possibilities. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so-called youthful vigor. Also, regarding Taihua, there’s no need for you to target me. Everyone in the world wishes for her death, regardless of whether it’s out of goodwill. When she wanted to solve the curse of the Candle Light Divine Tree, it was already a foregone conclusion."

"Of course, I’ll deny my own schemes as the Guardian of the Order World. Taihua is too aggressive. People of her caliber have existed before, but due to the temporal context, they did not pose a threat to me."

He emphasized: "Taihua is the first with ambition and capability, and even with the epoch on her side. You must have also experienced the curse of the Candle Light Divine Tree. Isn’t it good to let her be free?"

Gu Jianlin didn’t delve further into the issue, simply saying: "Perhaps. But avenging her is naturally my duty. It’s my freedom, isn’t it?"

The phone continued to transmit laughter, and Bai Ze responded: "I know you have a Death Note, and the people you marked are dying one by one. I presume you’ve written me down as well?"

Gu Jianlin gave a light hum in response.

"How do you find the gift I sent you?"

Bai Ze suddenly said: "I think you know what it is."

Gu Jianlin was momentarily stunned, realizing something: "Bai Mu and Ji Ye?"

Bai Ze praised: "Your reaction is swift, as expected of Taihua’s chosen. Bai Mu and Ji Ye were indeed killed by you on merit, but I had foreseen their likely demise at your hands. I didn’t intervene, just to see your skill. If you were strong enough, you might make me change my mind."

Gu Jianlin pondered the meaning of the statement: "Change your mind?"

"I could withdraw my support for the Judgement Court-led faction."

Bai Ze said meaningfully: "And instead support your girl, Thunder."

Gu Jianlin squinted his eyes.

"After all, Thunder is the most perfect human being, unmatched by anyone else. As Taihua’s successor, she must be believed by the entire world. Besides, she’s young and poses no threat to me. Why not?"

Bai Ze paused: "Provided you tell me if that experiment is in your hands?"

Gu Jianlin’s hand gripping the chopsticks paused slightly.

Before this, he had already sketched a profile.

Endless light, a distant horizon, a colossal deity cloaked in a Divine Robe.

This image represented divinity, divinity with a form.

In other words, what people commonly consider a personified god.

But at this moment, he suddenly wiped away the drawing with a tissue and began a new sketch.

This time, it resembled a human.

Gu Jianlin found this matter increasingly interesting.

Back when the Deep Space Technology Building collapsed, that experiment already vanished without a trace. Thinking from a normal perspective, it was indeed possible that he had caught it, so it was understandable that the other party would ask.

But the issue was, this was Bai Ze.

Even He wasn’t sure, which just proved that the experiment had already hidden itself away.
