The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1026 - 483: Taiqing’s Secret

The chilly cemetery was shrouded in a faint mist, as Rhein bent down to place a bouquet of fresh flowers on the tombstone.

This was the tomb of the former President, Taiqing. The black stone tombstone looked like a pitch-black tower, with only a solitary epitaph, the writing so lonely and desolate, overshadowed by mottled tree shade.

"It’s been two months, and thinking back to that battle, I’m still shaken. I never imagined I could actually defeat Master and avenge our teacher. Even with the Bai Ze Clan’s support from the shadows, I felt hopeless. Fortunately, that nightmarish woman is truly dead, and her shadow no longer looms over this world."

Platinum carried his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly, "That was truly a peculiar woman, I don’t even know if she ever loved the teacher, considering she never once came to this cemetery all these years."

She was a mysterious woman, proud and domineering, cold and arrogant.

Few genuinely touched upon her inner thoughts.

Rhein could not evaluate this.

"Of course, precisely because she never came, I discovered that secret."

Platinum stroked the tombstone, his laughter hoarse, "Come closer, lean in."

Rhein frowned and approached the tombstone-like stone tower, suddenly hearing a vague murmuring.

The eerie whispers seemed to stem from the deepest depths of Hell, like countless ghosts gathering to mutter, leaving one’s mind momentarily dazed, even distorting the sunlight before one’s eyes.

Even as a Ninth Rank Taixu God, Rhein felt a strong palpitation.

"Don’t be surprised; this is merely a normal Transcendent phenomenon."

Platinum crossed his arms, saying calmly, "The You Ying Law and Candle Light Law are completely equivalent."

Rhein seemed to realize something, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

For he remembered, the resurrection of the Red King!

According to the information, the corpse of the Red King seemed to have a similar situation, quite sinister.

"Back then, the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion wanted to reclaim the bodies of the teacher and Master, perhaps for this reason."

Platinum explained blandly, "The bodies of Heavenly Persons are extremely precious and possess astonishing vitality. According to the will left by Master, she wanted to be buried here after death, sealed with the underground Alchemy Matrix. After all, Master always resisted the Bai Ze Clan, unwilling to let the Ancient God Clan interfere too much in the real world."

Rhein frowned, "The President wants to be buried with the husband she killed by her own hands?"

Sounding rather absurd.

"Who knows, maybe Master wanted to ensure she could suppress the teacher even after death?"

Platinum chuckled, rubbing the smooth tombstone, "Though even Master never expected, the teacher’s body not only retained astonishing vitality but even... developed consciousness!"

Rhein shuddered in shock, the stone tower before him seeming to distort, eerie and terrifying!

Like a monster ready to devour a person!

Even Father’s words resounded like a thunderous explosion.

"You are my most talented son and the hope of the world’s future, naturally, you must inherit this secret."

Platinum spoke earnestly, "After the teacher died, Master did not allow us to come and pay respects, not even on holidays. I always felt Master had something she was hiding from us, so I took a risk, sneaking in. At the time, just like you, I heard those eerie whispers and was terrified when I returned."

"I always felt I had encountered ghosts, yet where are there ghosts in this world?"

He paused, "I became more determined that Master was hiding something from me, so I took advantage of her absence, and returned to this cemetery, staying before the tombstone for an entire night. That night, I finally understood the bizarre language. I suddenly stopped being afraid, because I realized... that was the teacher’s voice!"

Rhein supported his forehead with his hand, realizing that those eerie whispers were actually from his Ancestor.

His faith, the former President, Taiqing!

"I felt the teacher’s will, sensed his anger and despair, also realized his death was a result of a disgraceful betrayal. Unfortunately, with just my strength alone, avenging him is impossible."

Platinum paused, "So I shared this secret with Gold and Silver."

Rhein remained silent for a long time, "When did this plan start?"

Platinum fell into reminiscence, then said calmly, "I can’t remember clearly, at least forty years ago, before the era of Light and Netherworld. During that time, Master was devoted to cultivating her confidants, she didn’t want the Order World harboring her late husband’s will, thus she personally selected a group of people."

"Fortunately, Light died, and Netherworld defected; otherwise, it would have been very hard for our faction to gain the upper hand."

He scoffs, "After all, Catastrophes shouldn’t hold power; I can’t support it alone." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Rhein thought about the fierce faction struggles within the Ether Association over the years.

"Even since your emergence, we’re still at a disadvantage."

Platinum glanced at him, "Don’t forget, the originally designated next President wasn’t you."

Rhein knew the person he referred to wasn’t Thunder.

Because in that era, Thunder was still an unknown little girl.

"Back then, Lin Dong’s talent was much stronger than yours."

Platinum chuckled vaguely, "If Lin Dong hadn’t inexplicably had issues while trying to resonate with the Heavenly Person’s Wedge, he would have smoothly succeeded, and there wouldn’t have been anything left for you."
