The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1074 - 502: King of Fools: I Am Heavenly Destiny
Gu Jianlin maintained his virtualization state, darting rapidly through the complex corridors like a fleeting ghost, his pupils flickering intensely as he mentally mapped out the tomb.
Occasionally, as he passed by the chambers, some researchers completely enclosed in protective gear would come and go, indicating that this place had already been transformed into a large experimental area. Due to its proximity to the mercury pool, any slight mishap could attract the enemy’s attention, so he didn’t choose to grab someone to ask for directions, instead exploring on his own.
He heard the sound of mercury flowing, like a waterfall.
At the end of the corridor ahead was a secret door, with milky mercury steam wafting out. Even at such concentration, he felt discomfort, and he even heard faint life rhythm sounds, like the muffled beat of a drum.
The superiority of the Ghost Slayer Path became apparent as he ghostlike phased through the secret door, seeing the tomb’s scene.
It was an Ancient God Seed bound by chains, forcibly suspended mid-air, its rugged and hideous body wrapped in mummy cloth, with blood-smeared spells on the fabric, and countless cables penetrating its flesh.
Its mouth was fixed by machinery, spewing a massive amount of mercury, resembling a waterfall.
Lakes of mercury flowed into the pipes beneath the pool, surging like an underground river.
Gu Jianlin was not surprised by this scene, because this was the modern application of alchemy technology. An Ancient God Seed, as a special life form, had many marvelous uses, with strength that humans could easily overcome, not only used as extraordinary material but also often used as a live sacrifice.
This was much like a game, Monster Hunter.
Roar!
The Ancient God Seed let out a hoarse roar, its terrifying vertical pupils staring at this insignificant human.
Yet it soon started trembling, its roar turning into a terrified, uneasy whimper.
Because it sensed an aura, as divine as a god, which was frightening and awe-inspiring!
"Shh."
Gu Jianlin pressed his hand against his lips, his eyes flowing with molten lava, his extraordinarily beautiful and eerie face flashing with blood-red Candle Dragon Mask, raspy and fearsome like a monster, resembling both ghost and god.
The aura of Ancient Times was like the sky collapsing, rumbling relentlessly.
Sometime, strange and bizarre spells had spread like flames, as the youth with a godlike presence reached out, gently pressed against the monster’s head, forcing it to close its eyes in terror, trembling uneasily.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here to liberate you."
Gu Jianlin’s palm was drenched with fresh blood, crimson like molten lava, flowing on the monster’s head.
At this moment, the mercury spewed by the Ancient God Seed flowed with a hint of mist, the scattering droplets seemingly reflecting a towering Ancient Dragon, and the mysterious youth standing atop its head.
Next was the Evolution Theory!

With a rumbling sound.
Professor Cheng, leaning on his cane and descending the mountain, suddenly heard the trembling sound in the silence, swiftly turning to look deep into the desolate night, as if sensing a violent dimensional disturbance, like someone’s wrath.
"Professor Cheng, what’s wrong?"
Ying Zhiwei was quite pleased today, speaking with a smile.
"Mr. Ying, didn’t you sense it?"
Ji Xian looked around, curiously said, "I always feel like there was an earthquake on the rear mountain. The last time there was a tremor on the rear mountain, it was when Aunt created the Heavenly Person Seed. Now thinking back, it’s really nostalgic."
Someone’s expression changed.
It was the Mu Family Master, who knew his nephew was about to achieve the great Third Law today, yet at this moment sensed the dimensional changes, uncertain if it was good or bad news.
The family heads noticed this anomaly in him, turned and looked at him thoughtfully.
"What’s there?"
Professor Cheng asked expressionlessly, "Logically, today your nephew is merging with the Third Law, yet no one has seen them on the rear mountain. Such a complex ritual must not be conducted secretly."
In fact, the old professor had long speculated that certain unspeakable secrets were hidden in the academy’s rear mountain, because his research back then was conducted underground, later forced to terminate due to the President’s thorough investigation, yet the experiment subjects for the Third Law kept steadily increasing, surely someone was operating secretly.
Not to mention, he knew he was just a pawn.
Because his own research drew the attention from above, he was decisively abandoned.
Otherwise, he might have penetrated the highest levels of Candle Light Believers.
And gotten closer to that mysterious Mr. Solomon.
Now Professor Cheng inclined towards believing that Mr. Solomon’s true identity was either Platinum or Rhein.
If not, then it’s a huge problem.
Because both Platinum and Rhein were completely being used without knowing it, still thinking they discovered some incredible secret, deluded about becoming the order of a new world, dreaming of replacing gods.
"I, I don’t know."
The Mu Family Master said sternly, "Don’t look at me like that, as if I’m some kind of criminal!"
He subtly shifted his thoughts, turned to seek help and said, "Ye Family Master, you..."
This middle-aged man was slightly stunned, because the Ye Family Master had suddenly disappeared.

Platinum stood with hands behind his back, smugly said, "I think, I am the Child of Destiny."
Dr. Zhou held a tablet computer monitoring the experimental data, the milky mercury steam became increasingly dense, almost obscuring the entire alchemy matrix, with only the faint noble human form visible inside the cultivation vessel.
