The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1031 - 485: Traces of the Ghost Car Ancestor (2)
"Yes, the problem is that these children rarely leave their parents’ sight. According to Tang Ling’s parents, she was once part of a group of the most talented Ascension Reserves who went to the Central Spirit Core Institute for enlightenment, that is, to test the adaptability to the Candle Light Law," Gu Jianlin said, staring at the information on the screen.
Unexpectedly, Su Youzhu didn’t respond but instead pulled a white hair off his shoulder with a grim face.
"You have her perfume scent on you."
She said expressionlessly.
In truth, she was already gritting her teeth in anger.
Moon Princess and Thunder are competitors, and currently, the former is evidently weaker than the latter.
To enhance her competitiveness, she has no choice but to merge with the Holy Corpse, and a period of seclusion is necessary.
The price to pay is to yield time for the two of them to be together.
There’s no help for it. Su Youzhu isn’t that selfish. After all, the little Qilin needs someone to take care of him. If she can’t come, she must let someone else do it, or things might easily go wrong.
Especially with a strong enemy ahead, Thunder is one of the few she acknowledges.
Besides, there aren’t any more reliable candidates.
The reason Thunder and Moon Princess haven’t turned against each other is simply that there’s an even stronger enemy outside to deal with. They have no energy for internal conflict. Especially with a wicked woman on Buzhou Mountain, they said nothing on the surface, yet they care a lot about that person’s presence.
If the external threat were gone, they would have fought already.
One must be chosen.
It’s either you die or I perish.
Of course, that’s something far in the future.
Currently, for Su Youzhu, the most awkward thing is, even merging with the Holy Corpse is of no use.
She still has to continue growing.
If what the old thief Red King says is true, she might have to go into seclusion to merge with the Third Law in the future.
Involving Supreme Law, it must be merged by the body itself, and the consciousness will fall into slumber.
The avatars will disappear.
This means she still has to yield time to that cold-faced obnoxious woman.
Well, in a sense, she is also such a cold-faced obnoxious woman.
"Is it my nose’s fault?"
Gu Jianlin instinctively blurted this out.
For he was truly baffled.
What happened that night in the hotel was honestly not his intention.
He seriously suspected that someone tampered with his body, but there was never any evidence.
"I heard that Thunder, as the orthodox successor of the Order, declared war on the Judgement Court faction. Next, the Princess should be going to Magic City, shouldn’t you accompany her?" Su Youzhu coldly asked.
"If I accompany her, you don’t mind?"
Gu Jianlin hesitantly asked.
"I certainly don’t mind."
Su Youzhu said expressionlessly, "I said before who you like is your own business."
Gu Jianlin silently turned his head, finding that his seatback had been dug out with five holes by her forceful grasping.
"I am not needed there for now, Commander Lu is at Demigod Level, far stronger than me."
He opened a file, speaking seriously, "Look here, Frida’s Schizophrenia Syndrome concentrated broke out fourteen years ago. I asked a friend to compare the world’s major events, and none matched. But if queried by correlation, there is one thing that relates."
Su Youzhu indeed showed an interested look, leaned over to look closely, "Fourteen years ago, the team led by Gu Ci’an in the Returning Ruins was ambushed by two Ancestors and was seriously injured, in the intensive care unit for up to half a year."
That happened when Gu Jianlin was three.
At that time, Old Gu had already joined the Ether Association and had been promoted to Fourth Rank Superdimensional Level, naturally gaining the ability to independently lead a team. They entered the Returning Ruins for a joint operation survey, but an accident happened midway, the entire expedition team of twelve small teams was heavily damaged, luckily there weren’t many fatalities.
Later, including Old Gu, more than thirty people lay in hospital for more than half a year.
According to the information provided by No.5, it was precisely after this that Frida’s Schizophrenia Syndrome began to break out on a large scale, with Ascender families in Magic City reporting that their descendants successively contracted this strange disease.
In the end, it was suppressed by the President.
These two seemingly unrelated events have one underlying premise that cannot be ignored.
The Bai Ze Clan’s research precisely broke through after obtaining that man’s genes.
"In addition, there is a crucial piece of evidence."
Gu Jianlin tapped on the keyboard, bringing up the records of the original twelve teams, "All members of the original team that entered the Returning Ruins, except Old Gu, have gradually disappeared over the next decade or so."
Su Youzhu fell into contemplation, softly saying, "You mean the Order of the Hidden’s experiment on Frida’s Schizophrenia initially also stemmed from Old Gu’s genes?"
"The profile I outlined suggests this, the Returning Ruins action was just an accident. But because of that accident, Deep Space Headquarters ended up extracting the blood samples of the expedition team led by Old Gu. The Order of the Hidden has been experimenting with the Third Law over these years, and all samples naturally originated from Headquarters."
Gu Jianlin pondered, "Until the Order of the Hidden extracted Old Gu’s blood in some sample. These people found that a person’s blood was critical for the study of the Third Law and thus began a large-scale hunt."
"The reason they didn’t find Old Gu might be because he was cautious. When Old Gu realized he held the Third Law, he managed to alter the information left on the Deep Space Network, including erasing the initial collected blood samples. Old Gu was extraordinarily careful, he wouldn’t omit such a detail."
He paused, "Unfortunately, he was eventually discovered."
Su Youzhu thought this deduction was indeed plausible.
"This also means that the Vermilion Bird Clan’s curse is precisely related to the Third Law."
She suddenly thought of something, "When you were on the Penglai Fairy Island, you also attracted the Vermilion Bird Venerate. It’s clear, this Ancient Supreme has set sights on you. Perhaps because you are the vessel of Qilin Venerable, or perhaps because you are the teacher’s son. But what I can’t understand is why didn’t the Vermilion Bird Venerate kill you on the overpass back then."
At that time, Gu Jianlin was at his weakest, without so much Karma entanglement.
He was just an ant then.
To kill him would’ve been effortless.
"The Vermilion Bird Venerate is the furthest on the path of the Third Law."
Gu Jianlin folded his hands against his forehead, analyzing, "Of course, that’s because Qilin Venerable is trapped in the deepest part of the Immortal Palace. According to the records Old Gu left, both Qilin and Vermilion Bird initially descended to Earth together, being deities in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period in Chu, part and counterpart."
"But later, something happened, causing the two Ancient Supremes to walk separate paths."
He emphasized, "The issue lies here, why did they break off?"
No, not right.
Suddenly, Gu Jianlin thought of something.
Why Qilin Venerable gave him his Authority.
Because there was no time.
Three Ancient Supremes were all vying for the power of the Third Law.
Qilin was trapped in the deepest part of the Immortal Palace, while Vermilion Bird and Candle Dragon were about to complete the Third Law.
Qilin’s competitors are Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird!
Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird both belong to the Candle Light lineage!
What about the You Ying lineage’s two Ancient Supremes?
Xuanming Venerable is likely still asleep, Bai Ze Venerable has fallen far behind on the Third Law’s path.
All are Ancient Supremes, why such a significant difference?
The answer may lie here.
The Primordial Candle Light God!
Seeing him deep in thought, Su Youzhu suddenly said, "Actually, I have a lead here."
Gu Jianlin lifted his head, stunned.
"Old Gu’s Night Watcher account received a message."
Su Youzhu softly said, "The reason Lin Dong confined himself to Magic City was not simply his reluctance to see the Ether Association destroyed by civil war. More importantly, he was executing the President’s last mission. The President, before dying, sent him to investigate the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident and the truth on the overpass."
She slid a drawing paper across the table and whispered, "This was the attachment."
Gu Jianlin glanced down, the drawing revealing a nine-headed bird with a terrifying human face.
