The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 812 - 388: The President’s Secret, The Origin of Everything

Gu Jianlin was prepared to be questioned, but he didn’t expect to be asked such a question.

Unconsciously, he picked up the tea set on the table, playing with it as his thoughts drifted back to the Sea of Eternal Life days ago, that enchanting dream was not an illusion, but a real occurrence on the soul level.

Since stepping into the Extraordinary World, he has been constantly walking the edge between life and death, never once ensuring his own safety, thus he wouldn’t consider emotional issues, avoiding the same mistakes as his father. It’s just unexpected that after experiencing so much, he still ended up laden with emotional debt.

Moon Princess was an unstoppable force, accompanying him before he stepped into the Extraordinary World.

Her ever-present companionship for so many years, saying there are no feelings is impossible.

As for Thunder, originally a close combat ally.

There was an agreement to entrust each other’s lives, only to be deceived.

Meeting again now, it would be awkward.

"I know you’ve learned from your father’s lessons, fearing that the girls you love would mourn you after your death? I think you don’t need to worry about that, the future of this world is in the hands of a few young people, and if they die, humanity will undoubtedly collapse in the apocalyptic devastation."

Ji Zhou glanced at him, saying softly: "And you happen to be one of them."

Gu Jianlin’s hand holding the teacup trembled, he didn’t expect he was that important.

Upon reflection, it seems right, he is now one of the only two amphibians.

It’s nonsense if it doesn’t affect the future of the world.

"The world will perish, and your girls are no exception, so you need to have a correct mindset, life is short, enjoy it. Whoever you like, tell her; whatever you want to do, do it; if there’s someone you want to kill, do it quickly, don’t wait for your enemy to die of old age."

When Ji Zhou said this, a rare trace of nostalgia flashed in her cold, dignified eyes as the sunlight outside the window illuminated the depths of her pupils, as if brightening old memories buried deep.

Four hundred years have passed in her eyes, her voice is so dignified and severe, her tone still as dismissive and arrogant, yet there’s a kind of loneliness of fleeting time.

It makes one involuntarily moved.

Gu Jianlin pondered these words carefully, hesitating slightly.

"You haven’t considered these things because you’ve never lived for yourself."

Ji Zhou looked deeply at him: "You haven’t answered my question yet."

Gu Jianlin held back for a long time, not knowing how to answer: "Is she... okay?"

Ji Zhou sneered: "Look at you, what’s happened has happened, as a boy, it really is your gain; aside from her talent and status, at least she’s still quite beautiful. But if you only look at the benefits, instead it’s her who took advantage of you; without your blood, she couldn’t have survived."

Gu Jianlin said quietly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Are you unaware that in the Extraordinary World, spiritual union often carries more significance than physical union? In ancient times, once souls intertwined, it was as if a lifetime commitment was made, at least in our era it was so. This tradition remains unchanged today."

Ji Zhou said earnestly: "That’s why I ask if you enjoyed it? If your souls united smoothly, it proves that emotions for each other have long been brewing, otherwise it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

Gu Jianlin felt his expression resembled that of a Joker.

"Seeing your expression, I know what the situation is."

Ji Zhou maintained her calm expression and delivered another blow: "No wonder Thunder came back from the Sea of Eternal Life utterly convinced by you; even thinking you’re dead, she still wants to mourn you."

Qilin Venerable was killed.

Gu Jianlin now very much hoped this senior was teasing him, but as a master profiler, he could tell immediately if someone close to him was lying.

Senior Ji wasn’t lying to him, the Extraordinary World probably did have such a rule.

How could it be like this, now the camaraderie is really going to change.

Seeing each other next time was already awkward.

It’s doubly awkward after knowing all this.

Gu Jianlin held his head, feeling a headache.

"Even if you haven’t realized it, you do have feelings for her. It’s not surprising, her talent is good, she is beautiful, indifferent in nature but gives you special treatment. Anyone would like her upon meeting. You’re not made of stone; you’re just slow in this regard."

Ji Zhou gently asked: "Do you plan to accept her?"

Gu Jianlin felt his scalp tingle, powerless: "It’s fine if you want me to fight someone, but I really don’t know how to deal with love. If anyone poses a threat to her, I’ll surely kill them. Whatever she wants, I’ll do my best to help her get it. I hope she lives safely and happily."

Ji Zhou’s lips curled into a smile: "Isn’t that enough?"

Gu Jianlin was stunned.

"Safety and happiness are quite a luxury."

Ji Zhou looked at the cherry blossoms flying in the courtyard, sighing: "Being together doesn’t necessarily mean being inseparable, having children every day. Walking together on the same path is also a good way of being together. For Thunder, her level might not match yours, but she is one of humanity’s rare Alien Species in history."
