The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 866 - 412: Primordial Return, True Form of the Qilin!
Taihua heard the roar from the distant wasteland, the dark clouds seemed to coalesce into a pitch-black Qilin, the exploding thunder like its stern vertical pupils, overlooking the vast earth.
As the strongest in the Human World, she could certainly sense from whom that imposing aura emanated.
So violent, so dignified.
Yet, to her, it felt somewhat warm.
With her hands behind her back, she gazed at the Qilin, a golden light curtain hovering behind her, stirring ripples wide and far, while numerous ominous Iron Swords emerged from the void, their edges sharp and exposed.
"Master, that’s an Ancient God Clan."
The Golden King knelt halfway on the ground, hands resting on a broken Iron Sword, his bare upper body covered with shocking sword marks, as hot blood flowed out, staining the earth red.
The Silver King’s condition was relatively better, although their white hair had become a disorderly mess, and their white long dress was covered in dust, their breath as chaotic as it could be: "You treated him as a candidate successor, and had long engagements with him; don’t say you didn’t notice his abnormalities. We’ve been suspicious too, but we never had evidence."
Few in this world have witnessed battles of the Demigod Level, mistakenly thinking they are like ancient myths, with gods exhibiting their powers. In fact, at this rank, they have returned to the truth, stronger than hitting with every strike.
The gap in strength has been made apparent now.
In her injured state, Taihua fought against two, still dominating crushingly.
Of course, this was because Silver and Gold couldn’t use the You Ying Law, limiting their power to the Demigod Level.
"I knew from the start."
Facing away from them, Taihua seemed defenseless, her voice indifferent: "But so what?"
If someone else were to say this, it wouldn’t be a problem.
After all, throughout history, many humans have willingly been enslaved by gods in pursuit of Changsheng.
Yet this was Taihua.
The President of the Ether Association, the strongest leader in ancient and modern times, who once led countless human sages to carve a bloody path through the dark age, ushering in the golden dawn.
Towards the Ancient God Clan, she had always been relentless in her extermination.
Her methods were cruel, her demeanor tough, her temperament cold-blooded.
Rare in ancient and modern times.
Yet now she said, "So what."
"Master, you’ve truly changed."
The Golden King found the figure before him increasingly unfamiliar, growing ever more puzzled: "You killed your husband, and yet are so accommodating to an Ancient God Clan. Can such a you still be the leader of the humans?"
The Silver King coldly said: "The death of the teacher is our private matter, but it doesn’t concern this world. None of us have the right to make a mistake that could bury the world over personal emotional problems. These are the principles you taught us; are you now becoming the one who deviates from the norm?"
Taihua remained silent for a moment; the smile at her lips flowed like a spring breeze: "I also once considered this matter seriously, much earlier than you did. Ever since Wang took this student, I’ve been observing him in secret. I was curious to find what was special about this child, and later I discovered he held a great gift and curse."
"I also wanted to kill him, to cut off any potential changes."
She paused: "After all, I also thought he was an Ancient God Clan, and even though I considered him a good child, I still decided to make a decisive killer move. I once thought of treating him as a tool, to use and then dispose of him."
Silver and Gold remained silent; they knew that after doing this, their evaluation in history might not be very favorable, even though this upheaval had a justified origin, fought for the teacher who passed away.
But even so, there would always be people who believed the upheaval was incited for the Supreme Position.
The truth might be so, might not be.
But they wanted to know, what had happened to Master.
"But later, this child gave me an Eternal Bone."
Taihua said softly: "He said he didn’t want me to die." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
This woman raised her head, gazing at the Qilin entrenched in the depths of the dark clouds, smiling: "I once thought he wanted to gain something from me, but he never asked for anything. I suspected he was enduring for a greater scheme, yet he risked his life time and time again, doing everything earnestly, beautifully."
"Only then did I realize what a pure and proud person he was, his simplicity made him hope everyone around him would be well, his pride didn’t allow him to endure even a hint of failure."
Her eyes grew deep as she spoke earnestly: "I feel ashamed for my past schemes."
The Golden King also fell silent for a moment, then responded: "According to the prophecy, the Ancient God Clan could potentially break the restrictions of rules, His appearance is the best proof. Perhaps this is just His disguise of humanity."
"You should not make a misjudgment because of personal feelings."
The Silver King said solemnly.
"I haven’t made a misjudgment, because I know he is human."
Taihua’s eyes surprisingly revealed a trace of girlish obstinacy, speaking lightly: "No matter what you say, I still consider him human. He’s my child, and of course, I wouldn’t kill him."
If the King of Qing were here, he would probably burst into curses.
In terms of arrival, he came first.
In terms of relationship proximity, they were also master and apprentice, akin to father and son.
How did he suddenly get intercepted halfway through?
