The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 819 - 391: He Is Coming Back (Part 2)

"Why Qing and Chi?"

Gu Jianlin couldn’t help but ask.

"At that time, we didn’t know. We just followed the ancient prophecy and found these two children, but only when they returned from the depths of space did we realize something."

Ji Zhou turned around and gave him a deep look, "Time difference."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback, then understood.

"Back then, Einstein hadn’t been born, and the world didn’t have the theory of relativity. We discovered through observation that the physical laws of the Outer Universe and the Inner Universe were different, but we overlooked the issue of time flow. When an object moves faster and faster, the time on it slows down. When it reaches the speed of light, time stops flowing. When it exceeds the speed of light, time reverses."

Ji Zhou calmly stated, "Theoretically, that’s true. In our view, Qing and Chi spent a year in the deep space of the Universe, but in the time they perceived, a hundred years had passed."

Gu Jianlin suddenly understood, "No wonder the old ghost from the Jiang Family said Qing and Chi had become extremely unfamiliar."

"Yes, from that time, Qing and Chi had already slipped out of our control. Interestingly, upon their return to Earth, they encountered numerous assassination attempts."

Ji Zhou sneered, "At that time, they claimed to be Holy Land Level, but in reality, they had already reached the level of Demigods. It wasn’t until Einstein’s theory of relativity was officially published that we realized what was going on. Therefore, they survived several assassination attempts, deciphering the ultimate secret that had troubled humanity for millennia, based on clues obtained from the depths of the Universe on Earth." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Gu Jianlin softly said, "Doomsday prophecy."

Ji Zhou hummed in agreement.

"The so-called assassinations, they were orchestrated by The Order of the Hidden, weren’t they?"

Gu Jianlin pondered, "The Order didn’t want them to discover this secret."

"Qing and Chi discovered a crucial law: spirituality itself is a form of energy, a form of energy guided by the mind, and it also follows the law of conservation of energy. Besides, the existence of the soul is also energy, and it has an unknown characteristic that it cannot be converted."

Ji Zhou’s eyes were profound, "In other words, the soul can only be created, not converted."

This discovery, seemingly inconspicuous, was enough to thunder through the entire world.

Just like humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

The soul can only be created, not converted.

That means all the souls of Ascenders throughout history still exist.

If they exist in nature, then theoretically, they can be observed.

"If they cannot be observed, it means something is... devouring these souls?"

Gu Jianlin was terrified, "Devouring for tens of thousands of years?"

Indeed, it was a horror story.

You don’t even need to know what that thing is.

You just need to know what such a vast soul power can achieve.

Destroying this planet might only require a snap of the fingers.

"Is this why the Red King decided to kill all the world’s Ascenders?"

Gu Jianlin suddenly said, "Something’s not right. The end of the world is happening this century. If we really want to stop that thing from descending, how can we sever the Inheritance Path?"

Taihua, hands behind her back, walked to the temple’s outside, gazing at the distant sea of clouds and softly said, "Of course, that child doesn’t want to sever the Inheritance Path. All along, he has wanted one thing."

"To await the true God’s descent."

The dim twilight fell on her face, yet she remained expressionless.

Gu Jianlin instinctively wanted to ask what benefit the descent of God would bring him.

But the words stopped abruptly at his lips.

"Hmm, you have realized."

Ji Zhou said indifferently, "After all, he is the child taught by the President. If there really is a supreme God in this world, how could he bear not to be that God?"

Gu Jianlin’s blood turned cold; this was the true reason for the Red King’s madness.

If that thing is guarded by The Order of the Hidden,

then what the Red King truly wanted was very likely to replace it.

To usurp the treasure conceived by the unified will planned for millennia!

"Senior."

Gu Jianlin softly said, "The Red King has not completely died."

Ji Zhou was silent for a moment, suddenly saying, "The characteristics of the You Ying Law?"

As expected of the pillar of the Human World, he reacted instantly.

Gu Jianlin nodded, "The Red King might be resurrected."

Ji Zhou turned and patted his hair, silently smiled, and said, "Before I came to Tokyo, I asked Lin Zhengchun from Laojun Mountain to divine a hexagram for me. The old fool said that when people are about to die, they always habitually walk the roads they once walked, meet the people they once met... So the so-called old acquaintance was him, huh."

In Tokyo, the sun was shining brightly, a day so pleasant and exhilarating, yet over the Whale Sea in the Western Pacific, dark clouds gathered, thick black clouds coiled together, and in the midst of it all, scorching lightning crisscrossed, accompanied by roaring thunder, as if blasting a hole in the sky.

Tang Ling stood by the coast, gazing at the black sea, quietly put down her binoculars, and softly said, "The gates of the dimension are about to open. Mom and Dad, you go back first, I’ll be fine."

The wind blew her white hair, and her white skirt swayed in the wind.

A huge Floating Island vaguely appeared in the dark sky, resembling a black Qilin.
