The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 857 - 408: The President’s Plan

Gu Jianlin held the headset, initially thinking that No.1 meant for him to forcibly devour the Jiang family’s old ghost’s younger brother, which was too challenging and time was too tight, essentially hopeless.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence from No.1 turned out to be a ray of hope amidst despair.

"Your enemy, Jiang Chuge."

Indeed, right before him was a Holy Land-level evolver possessing Primordial Return.

"In theory, the Holy Corpse is a medium for the You Ying Law inheritance, only condensed when life fades away, and requires extremely special techniques to refine. Thus, the corpses of high-level evolvers are extremely precious materials, needed to be reclaimed on the battlefield. If reclamation is impossible, they must be destroyed on the spot."

No.1 said calmly, "Originally, we had a plan targeting you to seize the Holy Corpse, but now there is no time, so only the emergency plan can be activated. This plan was devised three days ago, tailored for you, aiming to let you forcibly grasp Primordial Return in a time-critical situation. However, regarding this plan, I don’t know the entire process; I only know our respective roles."

"We will complete our respective tasks to pave the way for you, but ultimately, it’s up to you to seize the Holy Corpse. Honestly, I don’t know how you’ll do it, nor can I think of a viable method."

She hesitated, "But the person who devised the plan believes you can do it, so you can."

Hence, the person who devised the plan is self-evident.

The President.

Initially, Gu Jianlin had a poor impression of this woman, even comparing her to that historical Empress in his heart; no matter how outstanding her abilities, she wouldn’t win people’s hearts.

Later, he changed his view on this pillar of the human world.

To understand her bitterness, her struggles, to agree with her ideas, to admire her composure.

Only the vulgar would see her as a Vulgar Master.

She is a worthy King.

The President once said, his Grandmaster was not good to him at all.

Is this true?

No.

To Gu Jianlin, it’s been so long since he felt care from elders.

The closest elder is the teacher, but he implements free-range education.

The one who truly accompanied him through growth is only the President.

Back then, Gu Jianlin had once asked the President to come down and see, so she really came.

Came beside him in the name of Senior Ji, teaching him, protecting him.

Accompanying him through his growth.

The teacher’s way of educating is to give him infinite pressure, challenging above his rank; the most dangerous time he faced a Ninth Rank Taiyi God alone, a gap beyond reach.

When he was most isolated and helpless, only the Grandmaster came beside him.

Now the facts do prove, those troubles Gu Jianlin caused at the low-level were indeed unimportant; if he couldn’t handle even these matters, then he was not worthy of aiming for the strongest.

The strongest inheritance wouldn’t fall to him.

People like the Grandmaster and the teacher don’t have time to waste their energy on him.

Even so, the gentle President still cared about him amidst her busy schedule.

Once he arrived at Ying Province, he was protected by the Shadow Department.

After the battle at Shinjuku, the President even visited him personally, entrusted him with her secret.

Thought she had done enough already, unexpectedly, she considered so far ahead.

The President not only knows his life is amphibious, but very likely sees through his biggest secret.

Supreme Position!

Because Gu Jianlin had a strong intuition, the President wants him, after being forced to expose his Ancient God Transformation form, to use Black Supreme’s Authority to seize the Holy Corpse.

Devour.

Qilin Venerable’s Authority is to devour.

The President knows he has this Authority, therefore made an additional insurance plan.

Perhaps fearing she would have an accident, then the Golden Phoenix Feather would also fail, and no one else could protect him again.

The purpose of the President making this plan is to protect him when he is exposed.

Win a chance for survival for him.

"That person said, if possible, she hopes this plan is never activated."

No.1 said softly, "It’s a pity things still happened."

Gu Jianlin looked down and caressed his heart, the Golden Phoenix Feather was placed in the chest pocket, even though it had fallen silent, he could still feel that sincere warmth, as it carried the blessing of an elder.

What kind of trust is this?

If the President knows his secret, she should kill him at all costs.

This is the stance and responsibility as Master of Order.

Yet she did not do so.

Even if the enterprise she painstakingly built all her life might be ruined because of it.

Even if the world she loves might be destroyed because of it.

Even if defying the whole world.

Even if bearing infamy for eternity.

This trust is too heavy, even making him unable to bear it.

"I understand, I won’t let her down." Gu Jianlin removed the headset, threw it on the ground, and gently crushed it; the conversation was over, speaking more was pointless, he must destroy the evidence.

"Let’s go."

He said softly, "The life’s still uncertain for the President, this world is about to face immense change. The only ones to trust are Lin Dong and his Night Watchers; I must get you to them first. Only when you are safe, can I be at ease to find a way to sustain the President’s life, perhaps needing you to respond at that time."
