The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 816 - 390: The God’s Secret, Supreme of the Third Power (Part 2)
"Qilin Venerable is a Supreme who should never have been born; their existence is an accident."
She whispered, "This is the answer Qing and Chi found in the Divine Ruins deep in the Universe, the ancient soil of the Ancient God Clan, which is their homeland. Open your eyes wide and watch carefully."
Gu Jianlin looked up in astonishment; there was also an ancient black stone tablet in front of the temple, and it was empty.
Ji Zhou casually dragged his right fingernail, and blood seeped from the palm of his left hand.
She pressed her blood-stained palm on the stone tablet, and a fresco flashing with golden luster emerged.
In the era of Primordial Chaos, towering jungles obscured the sun, prehistoric insects crawled through the bushes, and rivers stretched to the ends of the world. A figure resembling a God hung in mid-air, as if crucified like Jesus Christ, embracing the sky and the earth with open arms. Their body gradually cracked, and blood flowed out.
The blood of the God flowed into the rivers, dyeing the world’s water red ever since.
The rules of the world changed, and species perished one after another.
Genes were scattered among all things, and genetic chains continuously cross-evolved.
"What is this?"
"The origin."
"Is that God the Qiongqi Venerable?"
"Qiongqi Venerable should have been the younger brother of the four Ancient Supremes, but they never appeared in the history of the Ancient God Clan. They possess special Authority, and even their brothers and sisters were unaware of their existence."
Gu Jianlin suddenly understood.
So this is the true history.
Perhaps in the Ancient Times, there were only four Ancient Supremes in the depths of the Universe, living on the old soil of alien stars, but problems arose among the races that were unsolvable.
Even with the Authority of Gods, they were powerless.
During this period, the fifth Ancient Supreme was born, named Qiongqi Venerable.
However, the existence conceived by the Third Power was born extremely secretly, not only unrecorded in the history of the Ancient God Clan but also unnoticed by the four Ancient Supremes.
It wasn’t until the last Supreme, Qilin Venerable, was born that they realized everything.
What followed was the story told by Skylark.
The five Ancient Supremes lived on the old soil, but still couldn’t solve that ultimate problem.
Thus, they were forced to wander in the deepest part of the Universe, while searching for something.
"Until the Supremes found Earth."
Ji Zhou said softly, "Now do you know why they chose this planet?"
Gu Jianlin replied hoarsely, "Because the Ancient Supremes discovered traces of the Qiongqi Venerable here."
Ji Zhou continued, delivering a shocking revelation with a smile, "You haven’t attended classes at the Central Spirit Core Institute, but you should know that prehistoric insects were the rulers of Earth long before the dinosaur era. 300 million years ago, Earth’s plates weren’t fragmented as they are now, but were in a gathered state. At that time, dense tropical rainforests existed, with a warm, humid climate, and oxygen levels twice as high as they are now, very suitable for the growth of insects."
"Until a God descended, using their own bones and blood to change everything."
She softly said, "Qiongqi Venerable opened the Evolution Path of this world."
Gu Jianlin murmured, "No wonder I read in the Order of the Hidden data that the Ancient God Clan arrived on Earth long before humanity was born, and the dinosaurs worshiped their miracles, and their image..."
"How could great Gods imitate human postures?"
Ji Zhou mocked, "So you see, the mutated Ascenders always transform into insect forms, as insects have no soul. Therefore, when Qiongqi Venerable came to this world, the first thing they did was to destroy the Coal Age’s insect era, granting species the ability to have souls."
Gu Jianlin pondered, "The era when the Ancient Supremes descended was between the Triassic and the Cretaceous, and the evolution of that era was already underway. They detected a familiar scent on this planet."
He forcibly maintained his composure, as everything about the Ancient God Clan surged into his mind.
"Senior, based on my investigation, the madness of Qilin Venerable seems to be a vengeance at any cost against someone, or rather, against a Divine. I initially thought Qilin Venerable wanted revenge on the Candle Dragon Venerable who killed them, but now I think it might not be entirely correct. The one Qilin Venerable truly wants to avenge is Qiongqi Venerable, right?"
He looked up, his gaze solemn.
"Perhaps... that’s the case."
Ji Zhou shook his head, and with a deep tone, said, "The problem is, why did Qiongqi Venerable erase their existence, and why did they distance themselves from their clan, come to the distant Earth, and start the Evolution Path?"
Gu Jianlin was taken aback.
The story told by Skylark surfaced in his mind again.
Even the Ancient God Clan is not omniscient and omnipotent; thus, they also needed to learn and grow at birth, couldn’t suddenly become what they are today, or be born with knowledge.
Unless there is some special Authority.
"The five Ancient Supremes initially coexisted peacefully; what made them turn against each other?"
Ji Zhou asked again, "This is what I want to tell you, the origin of the Order of the Hidden."
Gu Jianlin’s pupils slightly contracted.
"Unified Will."
Ji Zhou repeated, "The Order of the Hidden originated from a Unified Will, which is why they have always been the rulers of Earth’s dark side since ancient times. You must know, this world is meticulously designed."
