The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 783 - 377: The Secret of Qing and Chi (Part 3)

Chapter 783: Chapter 377: The Secret of Qing and Chi (Part 3)

No.5 replied again: "Do you think your father willingly became a shadow? It was after that event that your father discovered the truth. If you hadn’t taken that position, you would never understand the helplessness and burdens, and all the silent sacrifices she made for this world. The reason why this world still exists is because of her four centuries of silent dedication. Sadly, the world never thanked her, and wishes for her death."

Gu Jianlin fell into deep thought.

"The reason we all welcomed you wasn’t just because of your father, but also because you found the Eternal Bone in the Sea of Eternal Life, which allowed the President to survive."

No.5 continued tapping out the code: "Next, I’m going to tell you why even though the President is so great, the world still wishes for her death. It’s not because people are ignorantly evil, but because of interests."

Interests.

When Gu Jianlin heard this word, he had a bad premonition.

"You should be aware that the Golden Age of the Human World was initiated by Qing and Chi. Two centuries ago, Qing and Chi made a significant discovery in the depths of the universe. The original aim of the Deep Space plan was to explore the true secrets of the Ancient God Clan. For a divine-like race, two supreme laws are crucial: Candle Light Law and You Ying Law. These correspond to the ancient mythical two Holy Beasts."

A rhythmic tapping sound came from the headset: "Sun Candle and Taiyin Youying."

Gu Jianlin responded with a sound of acknowledgment.

"Until now, we haven’t figured out why the two supreme laws of the Ancient God Clan can be practiced by humans, yet the Ancient God Clan themselves are unable to touch them. Including the two supreme Holy Objects, which were thought to be mythological records in Ancient God Clan texts. If it weren’t for Qing and Chi’s discovery, perhaps even today, people wouldn’t know that the so-called Heavenly Person’s Breathing is one of the two supreme laws."

The tapping rhythm from No.5 became more rapid: "The subsequent discovery of the You Ying Law further verified the opposition of the two supreme laws. The problem is, both supreme laws have their issues. Research shows that the inheritance of the two laws is almost identical to the Ancient God Clan."

Gu Jianlin suddenly recalled a paper he read on the Deep Space Official Website.

The Ancient God Clan has an evolution chain.

The universe’s earliest beings were the Ancient Supremes, who spawned their own clans.

They use their own bones and blood to create the Primordials.

Primordials then use their Divine Essence to create the Ancestors.

This forms a complete evolution chain.

Of course, some powerful Ancestors can obtain the Ancient Supremes’ bones and blood.

Thus evolving into a Primordial.

But no Primordial can ever become an Ancient Supreme.

If the inheritance of Candle Light and You Ying laws is like the Ancient God Clan, then there’s an issue here.

Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "You mean, the earliest practitioners of the supreme laws essentially started an evolution chain. In this chain, her position is the highest, equivalent to an Ancient Supreme. To pass it on to the next generation, she would have to use her own bones and blood."

This time No.5 remained silent for a long moment.

"Your logic is very meticulous, no wonder you gained the President’s favor."

No.5 tapped out a response: "Your analysis is indeed correct, but not entirely. Now I want to ask you, what is the real difference between humans and the Ancient God Clan?"

Gu Jianlin thought of the answer in just a second.

"Lifespan!"

"Yes, human lifespan is limited, whereas the Ancient Supremes are eternal. No matter what the Ancient Primordials do, they can never become true Supremes, this is an undeniable iron law. Just like how you’re still living, no one can say you’re dead, this iron law is absolute."

No.5 explained: "Humans are different, everyone will die, even someone as strong as the President is no exception."

Gu Jianlin felt his blood turn cold, and even his hand tapping the microphone trembled slightly: "In other words, the President can be replaced as long as someone can usurp her power."

"Yes, the President herself doesn’t mind because she doesn’t want to use her own bones and blood to create beings weaker than her. For the Human World to continue, someone must replace her."

No.5 replied: "What truly disheartens her is that some people can’t wait."

Gu Jianlin curiously asked: "Who?"

The tapping sound from No.5 became heavier: "The Red King."

"Why the Red King?"

Gu Jianlin walked up the stone steps in the park, an ancient red torii stood above him.

Deep in the Imperial Garden was an ancient shrine, wind chimes swayed in the evening breeze.

Priests in red robes stood on either side of the steps, all of them were Jiang Family retainers seen the night before.

The faint sound of an ancient bell’s roar echoed.

It was the awakening bell.

Inside the old shrine arose shrill wails, evidently from those once betrayed by the Dark World exposing their secrets under the bell’s intimidation, executed on the spot, punished to death.

Old Master Si squinted, playing with a copper coin, and said lightly: "How insane."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, sensing rhythms of life fading away.

"Because the Red King lost to the King of Qing."

No.5 said: "The Red King couldn’t stand at the end of an evolution chain, so he sought other methods."
