The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 784 - 378: Gu Jianlin’s Way

Gu Jianlin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, an enormous fear exploded in his mind. If not for his strong self-control, he might have lost his composure at this moment.

Two hundred years ago, Qing and Chi fought to the death at Buzhou Mountain. In the end, this earth-shattering battle concluded with Qing’s victory. Ultimately, Qing achieved his wish and mastered the ultimate You Ying Law, standing at the end of an Evolution Chain. Because of this, he could exhibit Quasi-Supreme Level combat power and break free from the shackles of the Heaven’s Punishment.

Heaven’s Punishment was originally created as a weapon to counter the Catastrophe Level.

In fact, Qing had already transcended the scope of Catastrophes because Quasi-Supreme Level signifies one thing.

That is, the King of Qing had already surpassed the Primordial Ancestor.

The Red King was the loser in this dispute, but if you think carefully, a question emerges.

Though both stood at the top of the Evolution Chain as the Strongest, there was a difference between the President and the King of Qing.

"That’s the problem. I think you should have understood. The President holds almost absolute control over the Evolution Chain of the Heavenly Person. Every Heavenly Person can only grasp the Candle Light Law with her permission. In nearly two hundred years, only Skylark was the Alien Species, and to this day, we don’t know how she did it."

Gu Jianlin suddenly had a bold idea.

That is, these amphibious creatures could break the limits of the Evolution Chain.

To become the most powerful existence outside the Evolution Chain!

He attempted to call out to the bad woman within him, but unfortunately received no response.

Skylark was probably asleep.

No.5 tapped a frequency, continuing to speak to him: "The King of Qing doesn’t have absolute control over his Evolution Chain. Most Evolvers are in the Dark World. Therefore, we think the King of Qing must be missing something crucial. That something should be Chi’s legacy."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, this speculation was quite reasonable.

At that time, Qing and Chi had jointly recreated the You Ying Law. Naturally, after turning against each other, they would hide something from one another.

No.5 continued: "This is our most important mission while lurking in Tokyo: to find the Red King’s legacy. It can prevent the You Ying Group from further destroying this world and also balance the King of Qing."

Gu Jianlin remained silent for a while; indeed, the Ether Association was still wary of his teacher.

His teacher didn’t seem to want to maintain order either; he had his views on this world.

Though caught in the middle, he didn’t feel too troubled.

The previous generation’s matters had nothing to do with him.

He just wished that everyone around him could find peace and joy.

If the grievances of the previous generation couldn’t be resolved, then eliminate the conflict itself.

"As to why we think Chi did it on purpose, if you’ve truly studied this person, you’d find that he’s filled with malice and mockery towards the world. If you were to find a word to describe the King of Qing, without a doubt, it would be aloof. And if you were to find a word for the Red King, it would surely be vile."

No.5’s breathing seemed to become somewhat heavy, the tapping frequency quickened: "The Red King was both a genius and a madman, talented, elegant, and conceited—apparently passionate but in reality, cold-blooded to the extreme. No one in the world could ever fathom his thoughts. He didn’t love anyone and could sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals."

"The Red King’s cold-bloodedness was horrifying, even sacrificing his own fiancée; that girl’s family became experimental sacrifices simply because their sensitivity to the You Ying Law was keener than ordinary people."

"His mentor, his teammates, his family, and his enemies—all without exception were his tools. If you’re of no value to him, you’ll die a miserable death, and if you’re of value, you might die even more miserably. He enjoyed the process of toying with the world, even though he claimed he didn’t want to watch the world burn."

Gu Jianlin tried to construct the image of this pair of senior brothers in his mind.

The king of Qing’s aloofness and arrogance, the Red King’s madness and vileness.

Qing and Chi were like two opposing deities, each casting their shadow over half the world.

"Do you think the Red King lost on purpose?"

"That’s very possible because he doesn’t really care about his own life."

"A madman who spares no costs to achieve his goals, what exactly does he want to do?"

"That’s precisely what we need to find out."

Silence lingered for a moment.

"If the Red King is such a person, then even if he’s truly dead, his malice still shrouds the world, and the Heaven’s Punishment Meteor won’t be his only contingency. For him, this is too simple." Gu Jianlin also tapped the microphone; it’s better to err on the side of caution with this matter, treat it seriously.

"After the Red King’s death, his legacy fell into the hands of his biological father."

No.5 explained: "Jiang Chunyang naturally inherited everything from his son, becoming the sole ruler of the Dark World. For two hundred years, he has continuously governed the Dark World. No one knows what he is plotting. Do not underestimate Jiang Chunyang; the older they get, the more dangerous they are, as they emit an aura of decay."

"Like hyenas on the prairie, always coveting you."

This little girl was only about ten years old, yet her rhetoric could give off a blood-curdling scent: "Don’t bleed in his presence, or he’ll reveal his most ferocious and greedy side, devouring your flesh and blood."
