The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 865 - 411: Foolish Child (Part 2)

He recited to the diary, "The main purpose of telling you this is not to enlighten you, but to make sure you don’t hate me. Because in this matter, we are really not the masterminds. Even if Taihua is truly dead, it is still their family’s private affair, and we are not accomplices."

These words are indeed true, as the You Ying Group did not directly participate in this upheaval, or murder, for that matter.

After all, the strongest fighters in the You Ying Group had already been driven insane by the President.

Without Catastrophe Level combat power, getting involved would be a suicide mission.

Gu Jianlin silently stared at him and said coldly, "Does it really matter whether I hate you all or not?"

The Ancient God Transformation still had some time left, and the spirituality within was gradually recovering.

He would need about two more minutes before he could continue fighting.

"Of course it matters because I want you to become the true Monarch."

The Think Tank pointed westward and said with a smile, "Not just order and darkness, but also the Ancient God Realm and the real world! Ji Zhou may be a great Monarch, but she hopes her child can surpass her! Jiang Chunyang is already old and decrepit. Though he was once great, he is now just a surviving reptile."

"The Ancient God Clan is deeply cursed by fate and has lost its former glory amid eons of internal strife."

He paused, "As for the Human World, it also needs new evolution."

Gu Jianlin said coldly, "True Monarch? Isn’t that the goal after the Chi Resurrection?"

"What are you thinking?"

The Think Tank had a peculiar expression, "The one chosen by the King is clearly you."

A trace of astonishment showed in Gu Jianlin’s eyes.

The Think Tank cleared his throat and, at close range, scrutinized this devil-like youth, sighing, "The first time I saw you in the records, I thought you were the person the King was looking forward to. Coincidentally, everything you’ve done aligns with the prophecy in the diary. Otherwise, why would I take care of you so much?"

"Think about it, although we are in different camps, have we really ever faced each other in life-or-death situations?"

He shrugged, "You don’t like the Judgement Court, so I sent that document to Zhang Xuzhi. There were some twists and turns, but the end result was that Rhein fell from favor, right? When you arrived in Tokyo, I sensed your presence, and Si Xingye’s identity just happened to be able to cover for you, and I even personally delivered the Moon Princess to you."

"Oh my God, you have no idea what kind of risk I took. The President loves you so dearly, if she found out that you were impersonating the Si Family’s young master, she might think I’m trying to steal her disciple’s woman."

He displayed a look of lingering fear, much like an actor in a Sichuan opera changing masks: "You have no idea how domineering and protective that woman is. If anyone bullies her children, she would slaughter their entire family."

To increase credibility, the Think Tank pulled out a large stack of yellowing documents from his chest.

These were mostly ancient records, the earliest dating back to the late Ming Dynasty.

Gu Jianlin glanced briefly; they were mostly records of massacring entire families.

"You all think the President is gentle, but you’d better ask these dead people if they agree."

The Think Tank shrugged and said, "I know the young lady is with you, so I even gave you a strategy guide. Even though the young lady is our strategic weapon, I didn’t tell anyone. Instead, I turned a blind eye. After all, I’m also curious if you two, the only ones of your kind, will spark something together."

"If you could have a child, wouldn’t that be like a modern-day Adam and Eve?"

He said regretfully, "Unfortunately, neither of you has lived up to it; otherwise, you would both be on maternity leave by now."

Gu Jianlin always had a sense of illusion. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This Think Tank knew everything, yet saw through everything without exposing it, and even helped him openly and secretly.

Now, this suspicion was confirmed.

Pa.

The Think Tank hastily slapped himself, "I misspoke. The young lady doesn’t mind. I can swear on my integrity; your boyfriend and our young lady are absolutely clean, they have nothing going on."

Gu Jianlin’s eye twitched ever so slightly.

Tang Ling finally figured out who he had been with all this time, her stern eyes narrowing without saying a word.

"After all, I also hope to see you both have children soon."

The Think Tank laughed, "The child born from both of you should be quite remarkable."

Gu Jianlin did not want to continue this nonsensical conversation any longer; his voice was as harsh as iron grinding together: "You also mentioned that I would lose someone very important to me."

Who exactly was that person?

He once thought it was Thunder.

But now he realized.

The Think Tank suddenly stopped smiling. He gazed at the twilight in the west and softly said, "Child, I don’t have that kind of power. I’m saying these things not just to make you not resent me, but truly to tell you one thing. If you truly are destined to lose someone very important to you, the only perpetrator will be fate."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

"It’s an irrevocable tragedy, an ordained destiny."

The Think Tank softly said, "The President has chosen such an ending for herself; she sincerely hopes someone can replace her step by step, becoming the new supreme figure to lead humanity toward a bright future. But she also knows how cruel the rules of this world are; she has come from a feudal dynasty and deeply experienced how terrifying the struggle for the throne among princes can be. When the old King dies, her children won’t be allowed to live in this world either."

"But someone like her, how could she not leave a way out for her children?"

His gaze deep, like an ancient well silent for a thousand years: "She is so thoughtful, how could she not guess that you would be willing to risk the world’s reproach to reveal your true identity?"

At this moment, Gu Jianlin finally understood the President’s intent.

"Dark World."

Tang Ling softly said, "She entrusted us to the Dark World."

Jiang Ziyue and Ying Changsheng remained silent, for they were wise and had understood everything as well.

"My respected Mr. Qilin, this world no longer has a place for you, only the Dark World is still willing to open its arms to welcome your ruling presence. Of course, along with your lover and your comrades."

The Think Tank supported himself up and came before the young man, indulging in the fierce aura, intoxicatedly saying, "Don’t persist any longer, even if you can master Primordial Return, at your current rank the cost is enormous, and it may even affect your true self. Why not let it go?"

"As long as you leave, the Heaven’s Punishment Meteor will not fall."

He earnestly said, "In theory, the Heaven’s Punishment Meteor could indeed be blocked by your supreme authority while traversing the dimensional rift, but that’s only a theory. Based on my calculations, the Qilin Forbidden Curse is very likely to collapse, and your true self will be critically injured, near death. Meanwhile, your friends will also be annihilated."

Gu Jianlin silently listened to him, saying nothing.

"As long as you leave, everything will be fine."

The Think Tank smiled and said, "Why not just let it go? Since the President’s death cannot be changed, why not lie low for a while? I indeed cannot defeat silver and gold, but for you, it’s only a matter of time. The King of Qing has indeed led you on the transcendent path, but he is certainly not a qualified mentor. Only when the Red King rules the world will he be fit to teach you how to tap into your true potential, allowing you to become invincible by that time!"

"As long as you nod, we can go back and kill that old ghost of the Jiang Family, welcoming the Red King’s arrival."

His eyes turned blood red with a ferocious glint, though his gentle voice seemed as if a beast was gnawing at blood.

"By then, your fury will burn darkness and order to ashes. Even the Order of the Hidden cannot halt your steps, and the Gods behind them will be buried by your own hands. Your enemies will all kneel at your feet, turning into grim, white bones. You will establish unparalleled feats, bending heaven to your will, making the Gods kneel!"

Perhaps this was the world’s devil most adept at manipulating hearts.

He spoke with such deep emotion, eloquently.

His eyes were frenzied, his expression wildly arrogant, performing the world’s most insane opera.

Gu Jianlin, however, silently gazed at the twilight in the west and softly uttered a single word.

With a loud boom.

Distant thunder rumbled, and golden rain poured down from the sky.

Taihua stood with hands behind in the ruins, gently sighing.
