The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 846 - 403: The Truth of Taihua, The World’s Betrayal (Part 2)
Rhein’s father was close friends with the previous President.
He grew up influenced by the previous President.
Even though he never met him, he regarded him as his faith.
"Perhaps Taihua also believes her husband is the leader of The Order of the Hidden?"
The Think Tank gritted his teeth as he pulled the Iron Sword from his chest, a cascade of blood spurting out, causing him to shudder in pain: "In any case, you must understand, Taihua may not be on the same page as her two students, but their interests align. Qing and Chi need time to grow, while Taiqing’s existence poses a great threat to them."
"Even if Taihua could replace, it would take years to digest such power, which happens to give them enough time to recuperate, perfecting their You Ying Law."
He casually tossed the Iron Sword aside, shaking his bloody hands, laughing: "Taihua stands to gain more benefits, she leaps to become the master of the Order World, dominating one of the Evolution Chains supreme positions. In the end, she can sit back and watch her two students battle each other to exhaustion. I must say, it’s brilliant!"
Rhein felt his heart sinking into the abyss.
In the endless darkness, a raging wildfire burns.
Throughout, he never stopped the enemy’s act of pulling the sword.
Whether out of disdain or reluctance was unknown.
"Oh, and don’t feel like your faith has collapsed."
The Think Tank remembered something, his smile radiant: "Because Taiqing isn’t that easy to deal with, even though he’s been dead for many years, his influence still remains. For example, Gold and Silver, and another example, you. In fact, you’ve been playing factional struggles for so long, without knowing who your real enemy is."
"The reason Taihua supports you as her successor isn’t because of your excellence, but because behind you are Platinum and Gold, these siblings could live at least another hundred and fifty years."
He laughed triumphantly, his smile growing increasingly exaggerated: "Lin Dong seems isolated, yet why has he persisted for so long? Haven’t you thought about who is behind him?"
Rhein remained silent.
"Taihua, yes Taihua!"
The Think Tank sneered: "Haven’t you forgotten that time you were tricked by Mr. San? You’ve been cautious for so many years, never making a single mistake. Only that once, you were caught and punished, losing the honor of killing an Ancient Ancestor. You were so young, such an honor was vital to you, yet it was ruthlessly stripped away by the Strongest above you."
Rhein couldn’t deny this point, and it puzzled him back then.
"Where did you learn all this from?"
He questioned coldly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The Think Tank smiled mysteriously, pulling a diary from his pocket and shamelessly shaking it in front of him: "Wang, before his death, had already written every step of the plan in this diary. He’s the kind of person who can foresee five hundred years into the future, his computational abilities surpassing even super quantum computers, creating miracles of foresight."
"Taixu was all created by him, I think that’s quite convincing, isn’t it?"
He hesitated for a moment: "Finally, let me say something off-topic, I also believe The Order of the Hidden is concealed within the Order World. I know you’ve always been concerned about Thunder, though I feel you don’t truly love her, you just want to marry her to erase her threat to you. But let me tell you, women are emotional beings, and unreliable at crucial moments... oh, sorry, I’m digressing."
Rhein frowned and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"Do you remember Frieda’s Split Personality syndrome?"
The Think Tank tilted his head and pointed to his brain: "Actually, it’s not a disease but a man-made trauma, the aftermath of an experiment. The critical point is, when Tang Ling exhibited this disorder, it was actually earlier than the research of Lishan Tiyan Pavilion and Buzhou Mountain’s plan. Similarly, ahead of both Ether Association and You Ying Group."
Rhein’s pupils flashed a chill, his face stern, his voice hoarse: "The Order of the Hidden was the earliest to master this technology, wherever this technology first appeared, that’s where they’re hiding."
When he reached this point, he had a complete realization.
Because this involves a key question.
If The Order of the Hidden truly hides within the Order World, then who are their agents?
Just like in that famous movie.
You clearly only ate one bowl of noodles, yet someone falsely accuses you of eating two.
Do you really need to cut open your stomach to show them?
The methods of Qing and Chi are just like this; they presume you’re guilty, then kill you to confirm.
That’s why Taiqing decided to cleanse the house.
Even if The Order of the Hidden is indeed hiding within the Order World, it doesn’t mean the previous President is the mastermind.
It could entirely be Qing and Chi setting a trap to retaliate.
Or perhaps the current President is the real plotter, the one enjoying the biggest gains.
"Yes, you’ve finally grasped the core of the problem."
The wound on the Think Tank’s chest silently healed, he smiled and said: "History is a cycle, events that occur in the past often replay in the future, sadly people never learn from history. The corpse lying on the ground yesterday may possibly be you tomorrow."
"Is the President such a person, does it disappoint you?"
He retracted his smile and spread his hands: "But it doesn’t matter, you must believe that karma exists in this world, if you betray others, others will betray you. Some things can no longer be undone."
Suddenly Rhein understood why Silver and Gold are by the President’s side.
Not for close protection.
But for surveillance.
Possibly even...

With a snap.
The communicator Tang Ling pulled out was pressed against the operating table.
"Do not contact the Ether Association."
Gu Jianlin’s face looked as if he had seen a ghost, he whispered: "They’re not trustworthy."
Now it’s already clear when the Ether Association and You Ying Group acquired the Transplantation technology.
The Order of the Hidden acquired it even earlier, which isn’t surprising.
Because behind The Order of the Hidden is the fifth born Ancient Supreme, Qiongqi Venerable.
He is also the Supreme mastering the Third Power.
Qilin Venerable and Qiongqi Venerable originate from the same source, they possess similar characteristics.
That is, they can adapt to the rules of this world.
Which is Transplantation technology!
Given that, wherever this technology first appeared proves where The Order of the Hidden is concealed.
"What’s wrong?"
Tang Ling raised her vermillion beautiful eyes, her appearance bewitching yet cold, injured adding a pale beauty.
At that instant, Extreme Thunder suddenly trembled in her hand, turbulent rays of thunder pierced through the lab’s dome within moments, radiating brilliantly in the darkness, and flickering with intense brilliance.
It was evident someone tampered with her Mythical Weapon.
The person capable of such action, goes without saying.
"Seems the location is still exposed."
Gu Jianlin sighed softly: "You’re right, they never considered you human from the start; they just regarded you as a tool. For this operation, you were indeed the bait, yet it wasn’t to lure the Dark World."
Tang Ling looked stunned, yet before her eyes he reached out and lifted her forehead hair, gazing at her brow.
"The ones truly walking into the trap should be me."
Gu Jianlin lightly touched the crack on her forehead, profiling the hardships she endured as an experimental subject during her naive youth; perhaps she’s forgotten, yet he could vaguely sense it.
"Perhaps there will soon be people coming to capture us."
He spoke softly: "It could be the Order World, or it could be the Dark World, and most likely they’re working together. Now I have to tell you something, it’s crucial for you."

In a ruin shrouded in sand and dust, Taihua gently paused her steps.
In the distance, the towering thunder light arose, illuminating her austere and majestic phoenix eyes.
"All these years have passed, you still can’t forget your teacher, can you?"
She softly lamented.
"Immediately act, recover Qilin and Thunder."
The Golden King holding the communicator, coldly commanded: "Begin the plan."
The Silver King gazed at the Master’s back, expressionless, asked: "Teacher was killed by you, was it?"
The sand and dust whistled, yet the silent meaning spread quietly.
"Hmm, it was me."
Taihua softly responded: "I personally pierced his heart and then devoured him."
