The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 877 - 416: Revenge

In the deep night, rain poured from the sky.

The Golden King dragged his weary body across the desolate desert, with a sky filled with wind-swept yellow sand behind him. The ancient ruins no longer existed, having turned into an immeasurable gigantic crater.

If scientists from the real world came here, they would certainly be astonished; not even a Tsar Hydrogen Bomb could cause such terrifying destruction. The crater’s diameter is already five hundred miles, and before one’s eyes is a ghastly darkness, with the bottom of the pit emanating the smell of ash burning, as if it were ablaze.

"The sun is about to fall."

The Silver King knelt with a thud on the ground, her clothes already burned away. Yet, she felt no shame, for her exposed skin was charred black, her entire body like smoldering charcoal.

"Go, quickly."

The Golden King supported her, staggering forward in the desert, leaving footprints with each step.

It was apparent that the Silver King was gravely injured and near death.

The price they paid for the battle was devastating.

In the end, it was indeed as Taihua had said.

The Golden King forcibly invoked the You Ying Law, standing at the forefront.

The Silver King struck the strongest blow at an opportune moment.

Even so, they still didn’t truly defeat their Master.

Because ultimately, Taihua was worn down to death.

Dragged to the brink of life, dragged to the point of blood vomiting and dying.

In the end, Silver and Gold joined forces to destroy the entire area, personally burying their Master here.

Yet, they still felt fear.

Because they were afraid.

Afraid that woman wasn’t dead.

Afraid of the cold laughter echoing from the pit.

Afraid the sun would still rise, dispelling the torrential rain.

Much later, bright spotlights appeared in the rain; a military helicopter descended.

Medical personnel rappelled down with automatic firearms, laser-targeted infrared scanning the air and sand. After confirming no security threats, they landed and began rescue operations.

"Weak life signs detected."

"Life Medicine Liquid ready."

"Medical team, commence operations."

The Golden King was the first to be placed on a stretcher, bandaged almost like a mummy.

The Silver King was already gravely injured and unconscious, her life signs barely detectable. She was put into a crystal coffin, with golden liquid floating inside, suffused with a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

An old man descended with a cane, arriving beside them.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you’ve labored hard."

He looked at the crater in the sandstorm, unable to imagine the earlier battle’s ferocity.

"Master was truly powerful."

The old man seemed very aged, his gray hair neatly slicked back, forehead wrinkles deep as growth rings, his eyes cold and sharp as blades, dressed in a pure white suit and crocodile skin shoes.

In today’s Ether Association, this old man was considered highly esteemed.

Because he was also Taiqing and Taihua’s student, a powerful Demigod.

Codenamed Platinum.

Clearly not a Catastrophe, but bearing the title of King.

Two hundred years ago, Qing and Chi granted him special honors, bringing him supreme glory.

——Stupid.

"Where is Master?"

Platinum rasped, "Alive, we need to see her; dead, we need to see her body."

The Silver King was already unconscious, naturally unable to answer any questions. This woman, who hadn’t been this weak and embarrassed for two hundred years, made one realize that Catastrophes weren’t invincible.

They could be injured, bleed, and die.

Golden King looked up at the sky, millions of raindrops seeming to plunge into his eyes, hoarsely saying, "I can’t confirm, but I’ve indeed lost the sense of her presence. If possible, we could seek prophecy from Lishan. If she’s truly alive, they won’t be unaware."

Platinum was silent for a moment, nodding slightly.

Fighting to this extent, they had reached the end of the road.

Even if Taihua was truly still alive, they had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Sudden circumstances, there’s no other way."

Platinum whispered, "Rhein’s condition is fine, though his emotions are extremely unstable, he always knows what he wants, and he’s already leading subordinates in a mopping-up operation. The current issue is Lin Dong. Though severely injured, he led his men to charge out. Furthermore, Qilin and Thunder are missing."

This was indeed a serious mistake; the enemy still had a chance to turn the tables.

Because Golden and Silver were gravely injured.

Platinum’s combat strength was limited to a Demigod, and he was already very old.

The strongest combat power in the Ether Association now belonged to Rhein.

Thunder was the secret weapon of the Order World.

Qilin was the biggest unstable factor, they didn’t want such an existence to continue living.

If not dealt with quickly, perhaps in a few years, a tragedy would occur.

"The You Ying Group will undoubtedly hold back because they’ll try their best to exhaust our internal strength."

Platinum leaned on his cane, continued, "Netherworld couldn’t kill Lin Dong, but that’s understandable. Lishan sent word that they will dispatch even stronger forces as our support."

By now, everything was clear.

The reason Gold and Silver launched a revolution was largely due to the backing of Lishan Heavenly Destiny Pavilion.

Because when Taihua was alive, he always upheld a human-centered ideology.

Lishan Heavenly Destiny Pavilion could cooperate with humans.
