The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 813 - 388: The President’s Secret, Origin of Everything (Part 2)

Chapter 813: Chapter 388: The President’s Secret, Origin of Everything (Part 2)

Gu Jianlin’s heart skipped a beat, thinking Senior Ji had indeed understood.

His uniqueness was indeed not something these Quasi-Supreme Level strongest could overlook.

"The current Thunder must take the President’s path; she needs to wield the greatest power and authority in this world to ensure her own safety. What happens to a noble young lioness stranded outside?"

Ji Zhou glanced at him.

"Probably besieged and killed by greedy hyenas?"

Gu Jianlin softly said.

Thunder’s existence is already an anomaly; if she cannot become the leader of the Order World, her existence will become a threat, and someone might even want to seize her power to cultivate the next one like her.

The next Order Ruler will also not allow her existence.

No matter where she hides, people will come to find her, never leaving her in peace. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Thinking of this, Gu Jianlin’s gaze turned cold and firm.

"Thunder has no way out."

Ji Zhou said self-deprecatingly, "This also shows the incompetence of us elders. We won’t live to see the day of catastrophe, so we place all our bets on you children."

Old Master Si tremblingly served the fragrant Heart-cleansing tea, respectfully turning to leave.

Ji Zhou picked up the tea and gently inhaled, softly saying, "I’m sorry."

Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and seriously asked, "What are you apologizing for?"

Ji Zhou said indifferently, "The things happening to Thunder, aren’t you already aware? She’s the one chosen by the President, carrying the burden of this world as the price for survival. The Ether Association conducted such inhumane experiments on a little girl, truly unworthy of their position."

Gu Jianlin silently gazed at her profile, this majestic and cold woman seemed less magnificent in the sunlight; though strikingly beautiful, there was a hint of ageing melancholy.

That is the fatigue and sorrow accumulated over the years, rich like the fragrance of tea.

"If it’s about this, you needn’t apologize. Instead, we should thank you all."

Gu Jianlin earnestly said, "Especially the President."

Ji Zhou glanced at him in surprise.

"Previously, I indeed didn’t understand, always thinking the big figures did nothing, while you were bearing too much in the darkness. Clearly the evil deeds were done by The Order of the Hidden, yet you bore them on yourselves."

Gu Jianlin calmly said, "Frida’s Schizophrenia is not a natural disease, but an artificially created aftermath of experimentation. Thunder’s issues are not innate but caused by humans. The Ether Association was infiltrated; the Transplantation experiment has been secretly conducted for over a decade."

He recited the entire truth in the calmest tone, without any expression: "The Ether Association publicly denies the existence of The Order of the Hidden, because order must remain flawless to convince the world and suppress those ambitious heroes."

"If The Order of the Hidden is publicly acknowledged, then order will have weaknesses, and those wishing to counterattack it will start scheming, leading the world to unimaginable chaos."

He paused, "Inside the Order World, Thunder is not alone with such issues; you chose not to go public, but conducted investigations in secret. Thunder wasn’t a chosen experimental subject, rather she couldn’t survive without subsequent experiments. To conceal this, only the President coming forward could bear all the wickedness, it’s a resignation of the Monarch, also a responsibility of the Monarch."

This is what he discovered at the biotechnology company.

Only then did he learn the truth about the President.

Ji Zhou’s hand in mid-air slightly paused.

"I guess this matter was done extremely secretively, unlikely even the two Vice Presidents are aware."

Gu Jianlin gazed at her profile and continued, "Including Tang Zijing and Gu Ci’an, their tasks were voluntary, they were willing martyrs, not sacrifices of the President."

Ji Zhou remained silent for a long time, quietly finishing the hot tea in her cup.

She sighed deeply and laughed self-mockingly.

"Little guy, you’ve grown knowledgeable."

No longer concerned about how this youngster learned of these matters.

He has his methods; it’s his capability.

But for the first time, someone was able to comprehend her hidden thoughts after so many years.

These years people have said she’s brutal, some say she’s resolved and reckless, others believe she’s cold-blooded and emotionless, more think she’s closed-minded, some wish to replace her.

As the King of the Order World, of course, she can ignore those rumors.

A true Monarch capable of being understood by everyone is truly incompetent.

But, does she really not care?

The desolation of the nights, the loneliness of being high up, the bittersweet aftertaste of going against the world, the struggle and sorrow when seated on the throne of power, when comrades in arms depart one-by-one.

She spent most of these years visiting the cemetery at the Central Spirit Core Institute, offering a fresh flower before a deceased friend’s grave, holding an old Buddhist scripture, watching the locust blossoms fall onto the riverbank, sitting there for an entire day.

She even has no one to speak a heartfelt word.

"Everyone lives wearing a mask."

Gu Jianlin softly said, "Have you ever truly lived for yourself?"
