The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 770 - 370: Negotiation Between Order and Darkness_3
Gu Jianlin frowned and asked, "Can it be done?"
"I don’t know."
Skylark shook her head.
Gu Jianlin suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly: "Wait a minute, Old Master Si and the others are my spies. When they face the Bell, won’t their identity as the Divine Servants be exposed?"
Skylark glanced at him, her smile charming.
"It seems you also know nothing about the relationship between the Master and the Divine Servants."

The headquarters of the You Ying Group stood majestically on a street corner in Shinjuku District, like a towering Giant overlooking the bustling city, right across from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and in the distance, you could see Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji.
The ancient Bell echoed in the city, yet this building was isolated from the chimes.
Because in the conference room, a deep, strange echo reverberated, as if from the depths of the Universe, so empty and silent.
Dong dong, dong dong.
It was like thunder, yet also like the clash of swords, or the bizarre reverberation of the Void trembling.
"How many years has it been since the Order World and the Dark World sat down to negotiate?"
The Think Tank said with a smile, "Welcome to the Dark World."
Around a long black table, representatives from the Ether Association and the You Ying Group sat on either side.
Incense burned on the black table, smoke curling up into the air.
No one spoke, as they all quietly listened to that strange sound, their expressions solemn.
Because the mysterious sound represented history from two hundred years ago.
It was also the most glorious period when the Human World was not yet divided.
The two hundred years ago when the brothers named Qing and Chi undoubtedly became the first humans to enter space; when they returned from the depths of space, they brought back countless unresolved mysteries that astonished the world, one of which was the mysterious sound now echoing in the conference room.
It was said that this strange sound was heard when they broke through the atmosphere, yet logically, no sound should propagate in a vacuum, and yet it eerily resonated in space.
It was such a silent and deep tone, as if it transcended the long river of distant history.
From the beginning of the Universe, echoing to this day.
In the 1960s, humans also ventured into space, yet they did not hear this strange sound.
This is because the world perceived by humans and the Ascenders is different.
An Alchemy Scholar analyzed that once you enter the Universe, the rules of the world change.
Those without spirituality enter the Outer Universe.
While the truly spiritual Ascenders enter the Inner Universe.
The Inner and Outer Universes are the same space, but the sights one sees are completely different.
To this day, no one has been able to deduce the source of this strange sound.
Nor can anyone trace back how many years this strange sound has reverberated.
Thus, it has become an unresolved mystery, and also a symbol of Qing and Chi.
No one knows the purpose of the Think Tank playing this recording.
Perhaps it was just on a whim.
Perhaps it was a demonstration, wanting the people of the Ether Association to know that they were also pillars of the Human World back then, holding the most ancient secrets and not just a pushover.
In fact, the Think Tank played this recording for no other reason.
Just to play the card of sentimentality.
You see, two hundred years ago, we were all one family; why can’t we sit down and talk properly?
Let’s have a meal and a chat; we’re all friends.
No need to be so tense, right?
The Think Tank forced a smile, but his eyes were fixed through the floor-to-ceiling window on the long street full of falling petals.
Accompanied by the drifting cherry blossoms, a solemn woman walked silently on the petal-covered path, holding a parasol, as if reminiscing about the familiar street views, or perhaps the time that has passed.
The polished windows reflected a smile from the Think Tank that looked worse than crying.
"The Dark World has done things it shouldn’t have."
Lin Dong interlaced his fingers, indifferently said, "You’ve touched people you shouldn’t have."
