The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 835 - 399: Taiqing and Taihua
In the ancient ruins of Sado Town, Rhein looked up at the fragmented temple.
The colossal giant stood firm amidst the sands of time, weathering countless millennia yet unmoved. Behind him, the howling wind and crisscrossing lightning spread a sense of destruction from afar, sending chills down the spine.
"Lin Dong and the Netherworld are clashing, so the one blocking my path is you?"
He turned around, expressionless, and said, "Renowned Think Tank, I’ve heard much about you."
The Think Tank scratched his head and smiled slyly, "I’ve always heard that Vice President Lai Yin is the toughest Eagle Faction in the Order World. Now that we meet, the reputation is well-deserved. Such an unforgettable way to greet someone."
He was pinned to a pillar, an Iron Sword piercing through his chest, blood flowing abundantly.
"Interesting, your Undying Body certainly is a mystery. But I’m not curious, as humanity’s understanding of the Ancient God Clan has always been limited. I also don’t think that mere ten thousand years of human history could comprehend such an ancient cosmic civilization. So some unknown secret methods are quite normal."
Rhein turned around, his expression hard: "What I truly wonder is, how can you stop me?"
As a Sword Sect in the Demigod Domain, he naturally had a strong intuition.
The seemingly harmless guy before him did seem capable of holding him back.
"There are always ways to stop you, as you must suppress yourself to a Seventh Rank level. If you don’t believe it, you can ignore me and try to pass, but you will definitely not succeed. It’s better to calm down and listen to a few words from me. After all, in your current state, even if you can protect your childhood friend, the result won’t be as you wish."
The Think Tank shrugged: "You also know that the President is inherently suspicious. The situation with Zhang Xuzhi has already caused her to distrust you. If not, the glory of killing the Kui Dragon Ancestor should have been yours, not Lin Dong’s."
Rhein squinted, not saying a word.
"After the return of the Sea of Eternal Life, all your years of effort were in vain. Our esteemed young lady even left you seriously injured, to the point where you still haven’t fully recovered."
The Think Tank smiled slyly: "It hurts, doesn’t it?"
Rhein replied indifferently: "So what?"
"Now the situation between the Judgement Court and the Night Watchers has completely reversed."
The Think Tank spread his hands and said frankly: "Are you really willing to accept this? Now there’s a great opportunity in front of you, someone like you shouldn’t miss it, right?"
Rhein knew what this so-called opportunity was, nothing more than the President’s days being numbered.
"You must wonder, why did I specifically choose you? Because you’re different, your father was the most loyal follower of Taiqing. Your lineage has been very loyal to him. Qing and Chi are naturally close to Taihua, and silver and Gold are close to Taiqing. After all, the children raised by someone will lean more toward them."
The Think Tank raised a finger, his smile enigmatic: "I am very aware of your background, both Gold and silver are your elders. Without their support, you couldn’t have become a demigod at such a young age, and you wouldn’t have held the position of heir so smoothly, right?"
Rhein replied coldly: "I know what you mean, but it’s impossible for you to turn me against my side."
The Think Tank wasn’t annoyed and laughed: "Then do you know how the Netherworld was turned against?"
Rhein was slightly taken aback.
"I’m not asking you to betray the Order; I want you to become the new order."
The Think Tank gazed deeply, staring into the distant sands: "Just like Taihua did back then."
Rhein’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and he lunged forward like a phantom to lock his throat.
"What did you say?"
This Vice President’s eyes glinted with fierce gold, on the verge of losing control in rage.
"That’s a long story."
The Think Tank shrugged, innocently: "Two hundred years ago during the Ancient God Chaos, everyone knew that Qing and Chi rebelled, ultimately being suppressed by Taiqing and Taihua as a couple. The world’s most powerful couple paid a bloody price for that. But the problem is...haven’t you ever wondered how Taiqing really died?"
With a rumbling sound.
A decayed ancient tree rose from the sandstorm in the distance, casting a shadow over the small town.

Gu Jianlin gripped the steering wheel, looking ahead as the oncoming sandstorm pounded against the windshield. The endless desert seemed abandoned at the edge of time, with massive bones buried in the dunes.
The gauge’s needle trembled violently, clearly at the brink of losing control. The engine roared with a deep, thunderous sound, like an enraged bull howling. Looking through the rearview mirror, a vast blood mist swept over, with demonic shadows within, their eyes blood-red.
"How did you know someone would assist them?"
Tang Ling lifted her beautiful gaze, curiously asking.
"Because the so-called cooperation never existed. The You Ying Group has long coveted that so-called Divine Ruins. How could they possibly share their intelligence and data? It’s just that because the Ether Association forcibly landed in Tokyo, they didn’t want to start a war prematurely, so they devised a response plan."
Gu Jianlin replied expressionlessly: "Jiang Chunyang is too old, and the older one gets, the more they fear death, especially those who think they still have hope. Weren’t those emperors seeking immortality in history like this in their twilight years? He doesn’t dare to start a war because he doesn’t know if his junior sister will use her last bit of life to take him down with her."
