The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 820 - 391: He Is Coming Back (Part 3)

The massive Qilin Island could be seen from all the countries along the Pacific Coast.

This signified the further fusion of Qilin Immortal Palace with reality.

The Ascenders have already blocked off the nearby seas, forbidding any fishing or merchant vessels from approaching.

Each nation has also ordered their armies to stay away from these waters to prevent another Bermuda incident.

Even the dark web is rife with turmoil, as Ascender organizations worldwide prepare to enter the world’s second layer. Those with keys are not ordinary people, vying to seize the treasure.

"You’ve just recovered and have to perform tasks again. As your parents, we are always worried." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Tang Zixuan lowered his voice, whispering, "Besides, now that you have successfully evolved, many people have their eyes on you and don’t want to see you inherit that position. Especially when the time for that person is running out."

The person naturally refers to the President.

Tang Ling remained silent for a moment: "Dad, what are you trying to say?"

Tang Zixuan sighed, "You have a long way to go before becoming a Demigod. Once that person passes away, who can protect you? Too many have their sights set on you. The Catastrophes are unreliable, and the Silver King is too close to the Lishan Tiyan Pavilion; they prefer grooming a puppet."

"In my view, among your predecessors, the successors are either Lin Dong or Rhein. The former is a bit too old and doesn’t quite match you, whereas the latter is just right."

He stated seriously, "Marriage is more reliable than alliances. Since Qing and Chi set the precedent, the internal turmoil within the Ether Association hasn’t stopped for a single day. You need a pillar of support."

Tang Ling shot him a cold glance.

Tang Zijing is the Family Head of the Tang Family, naturally a formidable character in front of outsiders, but unfortunately a doting father fearing his daughter’s gaze, only able to shake his head helplessly.

On the black sea, there’s a research vessel with a silhouette in a white suit faintly visible.

That was Rhein.

Outside evaluations of this Vice President are poor, mainly due to the Judgement Court’s conduct.

Indeed, Rhein is a person who stops at nothing to achieve his goals.

But he also has his principles.

For example, if Thunder doesn’t like him, he never approaches.

"Don’t worry, I have someone more reliable."

Tang Ling said softly.

"Who could be more reliable than Vice President Rhein?"

Tang Zijing frowned: "This collaboration task between the Ether Association and the You Ying Group is unprecedented, yet we don’t even know what they are plotting secretly. This is very dangerous."

It truly is a rare situation.

The task is about to start, yet they do not know the specific task content.

Helicopter sounds echoed from afar; the Omega Sequence had already airdropped nearby.

Taixu’s voice resonated in every Omega Sequence headphone.

"Honored Omega Sequence, task update."

Taixu spoke gravely: "Your task is to traverse the Qilin Immortal Palace’s second layer, the Dragon Burial Valley, and explore a suspended pyramid named Divine Ruins. You might face obstacles from outside or inside during this mission; no one can guarantee your safety; please exercise utmost caution."

Next, only a few headphones hear the last words.

"Members of the You Ying Group are our allies, but they aren’t trustworthy."

She paused: "You must remain vigilant against them and take every measure... to prevent the resurrection of the Red King!"

The sea winds came rushing; Tang Ling’s forehead hair half covered her beautiful eyes, and her pupils suddenly turned profound.

The Omega communication channel fell silent.

On the distant scientific vessel at sea, Rhein silently clutched the headphones, his face solemn.

In the deepest part of Shinjuku Imperial Garden, the ancient Shrine has been dismantled. Priests lifted old Alchemy Tools and threw them into a fire, the thick smoke spreading toward the sky.

"It seems you’ve recovered well."

The Think Tank stood in front of the pavilion, smiling: "The thing that little guy gave was really useful."

Jiang Chunyang in a black kimono, hands behind his back, remained silent.

Now, his condition is still not good; his eyes are bloodshot with crimson anger, and his gaze frightfully ghost-like, continually afflicted by a curse, seemingly drowning in hallucinations at any moment.

Just compared to before, he had indeed recovered a lot, at least wouldn’t suddenly go mad.

"Let’s start."

He hissed, "Dragging further, this thing is about to come out. For the past year, I’ve heard his voice in dreams, his laughter becoming increasingly manic, and the Alchemy Matrix can’t hold him any longer."

The Think Tank shrugged: "You are his father, and yet you use ’thing’ to describe him?"

Jiang Chunyang sneered: "No one considers such a thing their son. I don’t know why he chose you as his spokesperson. But I advise you to be careful; he will overturn everything and is utterly devoid of humanity. Compared to Qing, Chi is the most insane monster."

His gaze was cold, hidden with a madness.

As for People like the Think Tank, he wished to be rid of them quickly.

Mainly because the Think Tank threatened his ruling position.

If the Think Tank weren’t so elusive, impossible to kill, he would’ve died countless times.

Of course, the Think Tank indeed has substantial skills.

Most of the Red King’s legacy is in his hands, as well as the rise of the Dark World linked to him.

"Is it so?"

The Think Tank sighed: "Actually, my relationship with my father is also bad; I understand well."

He picked up the walkie-talkie, saying, "Inform Dr. Aaron, the operation begins."

Rumbling, the Barrier of time and space trembles.

Deep within the ancient Shrine, inside a coffin entwined with black chains.

Someone revealed a smile in their sleep.
