The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1053 - 494: The Hunt Begins

Gu Jianlin’s thoughts were like a storm, it was a catastrophe that could end all of human history, the environment on Earth might be completely transformed, and the Ancient God Clan would complete their final evolution, ruling this world.

By then, humanity’s return to a dark age of enslavement would be a good ending.

The more likely outcome is that the human race would cease to exist.

Professor Cheng opened the incense burner on the Buddhist shrine, expertly pressed the ash down, lit the intertwined sandalwood, and calmly said as he stared at the lingering smoke, "The answers I can provide are limited; opposing the Primordial is a long historical process, from the earliest Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, to the Kings of the Shang and Zhou Period, the various schools and hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Emperors of the Qin Han and later times, as well as the Guardians of the Order World."

"No one has ever been able to win against the will of the Primordial, even Taihua only managed to win halfway."

He turned around, his aged face devoid of expression, "Now this responsibility has fallen to you."

Gu Jianlin knew he had more to say, so he remained silent.

"At first, I didn’t understand why I chose you, because you haven’t had a single day of formal education. Even though you seem very mature for your age, you’re just a seventeen-year-old child. Reality isn’t like an anime; if we have to rely on a high school student to save the world, then I think it’d be better to await the end times." Professor Cheng said faintly.

"I must correct one thing."

Gu Jianlin interrupted, "I have two more months until I’m an adult, theoretically I’m a college student."

Professor Cheng hesitated, "You don’t count as a college student because you were expelled." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Gu Jianlin’s records had been transferred to the Central Spirit Core Institute back in June, theoretically his education shouldn’t have been an issue, but unfortunately during the upheaval he was defined as a defector by the Order World.

Ultimately, even his academic enrollment was revoked.

At this moment he realized the awkwardness of the situation, after pondering for a moment he said, "It’s okay, as long as the Order World changes leadership, I can still complete my studies and get my diploma."

Professor Cheng’s eyes widened, this statement was arrogance to the extreme, yet upon careful consideration it made some damn sense.

Especially coming from the person who said it.

The Blood Moon Slaughter Incident was the dirtiest affair the Judgement Court had ever conducted, without exception.

The young man before him had a deep-seated hatred toward them.

It was certainly a situation of life and death.

As for the odds of winning in this war, they would gradually change as time passed.

The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for Gu Jianlin.

Because the Judgement Court’s only advantage against this young man was that they were born many years earlier.

In front of the Qilin Venerable, such a gap was negligible.

"Then how do you plan to deal with those Candle Light Believers?"

The old man had to dampen expectations further, saying sternly, "Throughout history, those who have known of their existence have either died or been assimilated... including myself, who could die at any moment."

Gu Jianlin answered without hesitation, "Find them, kill them."

Professor Cheng was shocked by the logic; it was no different from having no plan.

"How will you find them?"

He probed.

Gu Jianlin replied seriously, "I’m very smart."

Professor Cheng probed again, "And how will you kill them?"

Gu Jianlin replied seriously again, "I’m very strong."

Professor Cheng was left speechless, because he suddenly recalled something from decades ago.

At that time the Fusang Divine Palace was about to invade the real world, the Ether Association had not yet recovered from the Ancient God Chaos, at that time everyone thought Earth was doomed, except the President who had faith in this war and said something very illogical: "I’m very smart and very strong."

Back then, everyone thought that woman was joking, until she unleashed unparalleled power within the Fusang Divine Palace, forcibly blasting through the entire dimension of the Ancient God Realm, burying the not-yet-awakened Supreme in the abyss.

Only then did people realize, she was serious.

Unexpectedly, years later, this young man before him said almost the same words.

Maybe this is inheritance?

"Alright."

Professor Cheng shook his head with a smile, handing him a hard drive.

"What’s this?"

"My understanding of the Third Law, it records some of the treatment methods for Frida’s Schizophrenia. I’ve researched it for ten years, it can’t be wrong. You can use it to treat many people, and you might consider giving it to your teacher and your senior uncle, they might need it as well."

After explaining, Professor Cheng turned and knelt on the meditation cushion in front of the shrine, with his hands resting on his knees, calmly said, "I’ve said everything I’ve needed to, go ahead."

Gu Jianlin stared at his back, calmly said, "You want me to kill you?"

He understood what the old man meant.

Because Professor Cheng knew that his crimes were numerous, and if he didn’t know some secrets about the Candle Light Believers, he definitely wouldn’t have lived to this day. Furthermore, today he had leaked too much about the Primordial’s secrets, and would likely be killed by certain people; death was his unavoidable fate.

Gu Jianlin raised his hand but ultimately put it down, took the hard drive, and decisively turned to leave.

Only when he gripped the door handle did he hear the voice behind him.
