The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 895 - 422: The Origin of the Supreme! (2)

"The earliest Ancient God Clan?"

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Jianlin was shocked by his own speculation because these so-called sinners were very likely the earliest Ancient God Clan. They hadn’t fully evolved, thus showing deformations.

"This theory is very convincing. The degree of deformation of these scorched corpses varies."

Skylark crouched beside him, subconsciously holding her cheeks with her hands. Her red nails accentuated the whiteness and delicacy of her skin: "Some have already shed the insect-like deformations and evolved into beast-like forms."

Gu Jianlin nodded in agreement; they had inadvertently discovered a great secret.

The City of Sin began to violently quake. Everywhere in sight was engulfed in blazing flames. On a distant altar was a cross hanging high, with scorched corpses bound upon it, resembling the posture of Jesus’s suffering.

There were too many traces of civilization to be seen in this city.

If one traces back the civilizations around the world, one can always find the shadow of the Ancient God Clan.

In the center of the altar knelt a corpse, holding a carving knife, inscribing an epitaph on a stele.

It seemed that in life, he was still praising the greatness of the gods, but an unforeseen heavenly fire had killed him.

In an instant, it turned him into charcoal.

A scorching, burning wind howled as if it came from the depths of hell.

Gu Jianlin held the Qilin Wedge, walked to the center of the altar, and gazed at the massive stele: "If this truly was the earliest civilization form of the Ancient God Clan, then some strange aspects can be explained. For instance, this city is clearly made for human habitation, which doesn’t match the huge and primitive bodies of the Ancient God Clan."

He gazed at the inscriptions on the stele: "If I didn’t know that this place replicated the Mother Star of Qilin Venerable, I might even believe it’s the site of early human ruins. Skylark... can you interpret it?"

Skylark gave a light hum. Although she had lost her memory, she retained some ancient knowledge, having lived in Buzhou Mountain. It didn’t make sense for her not to recognize the script of the Ancient God Clan.

However, when she attempted to decode the epitaph, it was still somewhat obscure: "Strange, this isn’t entirely the script of the Ancient God Clan. No, rather, these characters are even more primordial than the Ancient God Clan’s script!"

Gu Jianlin’s pupils contracted slightly, exactly proving his hypothesis.

It’s like humanity’s earliest cuneiform and pictorial scripts, mostly engraved on wooden and stone tablets.

Creatures evolve, and so does the script.

Compared to civilizations on Earth, currently, only our country has an unbroken legacy. As long as you’re not illiterate, if transported two thousand years back, you could still recognize a considerable portion of the text, even if you might not know where to break sentences. In other countries, it might be a bit dicey.

Skylark found herself in a similar situation, struggling to interpret the epitaph, murmuring: "Candle Light ascends the sky, You Ying hides in the night, although the King is unseen, his blood flows through the rooted rock, and all things revive."

Gu Jianlin was stunned.

"The first line says that the glory of the Candle Light brightens the sky, and at night, You Ying’s light can be seen. The great Supreme has not been born, but his blood already flows in the deep underground, creating his people. This corresponds to the birth of Qilin Venerable..." Skylark abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

She seemed to think of something, her pupils increasingly tinged with red.

"The birth of these people even predates the black Supreme!"

Gu Jianlin suddenly recalled something, his scalp tingling, trembling slightly: "The President told me that Qilin Venerable was a Supreme that should not have been born! His existence is a paradox!"

Skylark muttered: "Indeed a paradox, because the other Ancient Supremes must be born before their people. Like a father cannot be younger than his son, unless not biologically related. Actually, this epitaph wants to express that the people of Qilin Venerable were born because his blood had already flowed out. This means the Supreme had already been nurtured but had not truly arrived."

This was indeed a highly peculiar situation.

Logically, an Ancient Supreme should be nurtured first from his Mother Star and then create people with his bone and blood.

With Qilin Venerable, some problem seemed to have arisen.

Ultimately causing the Qilin Venerable not fully nurtured, yet his bone and blood had already flowed out!

"Dusty Country, Pseudo Emperor grows old, Prince returns, Demon Star appears, calamity approaches... This passage means that due to the gods not being born, the people of this planet established a kingdom themselves, with the Pseudo Emperor being their elected Ruler, exercising the power of the gods. The Pseudo Emperor grew old, and his Prince came from afar. The people, according to the guidance of the gods, built a Divine Ruins, an inverted pyramid. They intended to use the Prince’s coronation as a grand ritual, offering him as a sacrifice to mold a shape for the gods!"

Skylark paused: "But they saw a bad omen through astrology, a huge catastrophe was about to fall upon this country, precisely because of the Prince’s return. Demon Star, in Ancient God civilization, denotes a female."

"The Prince brought back a woman?"

Gu Jianlin astutely caught the key term.

"Yes, a woman."

Skylark looked at the third passage: "Demon Star deceives the crowd, claiming the god is dead, the Ancestor Star extinguishes... This passage states that the woman claimed the god is dead and will never revive, and the Ancestor Star is about to perish. The people of this country believed she was a Demoness, thus treating her as a Witch, planning to hang her on the cross. But the Prince loved this woman deeply, giving up his right to the throne, he prevented the immolation and took the girl away."

She softly interpreted the epitaph, speaking lightly: "In the end, the Prince and his Imperial Concubine defied fate, escaping to the distant land as they wished, which ultimately angered the gods. The god revived in anger, but he lost his perfect body, so a heavenly fire descended in judgment, stripping this planet of all life."

Gu Jianlin fell into a long silence.

"Molding?"

He murmured: "An Ancient Supreme needs a sacrifice to truly descend?"

"If I’m not mistaken, there was some issue during the hatching of Qilin Venerable, so his birth process differed from his kind. Other Ancient Supremes might not need it, but don’t forget all living beings on this planet were created by him, possibly to prepare a vessel for himself."

Suddenly Skylark repeated: "Vessel."

Gu Jianlin saw her looking at him and was stunned as well.

Indeed, they always assumed that an Ancient Supreme did not need a vessel.

But then came the question.

What about the two of them?

Gu Jianlin carries the power of Qilin Venerable.

Skylark carries the power of Candle Dragon Venerable.

The two of them, just as they say, are the so-called vessels!

"The reason why it is said that Qilin Venerable should not have been born is because there was an issue in his hatching process, the initiator being likely the legendary Qiongqi Venerable. As the fifth Supreme, originating from the Third Power, he personally stopped the hatching of the Supremes, attempting to end the history of the Ancient Supremes with him."

Gu Jianlin softly said: "Yet unexpectedly, Qilin Venerable still successfully hatched, using some method to forcibly descend, but due to losing the vessel, he flew into a rage. Hence, he furiously retaliated against the world, even finding the other four Supremes, together arriving on Earth."

"The purpose was to search for Qiongqi Venerable."

He analyzed in a low voice: "They found life here, traces of life evolution, even discovered the supreme being of the Ancient God Clan, the Candle Light Divine Tree! For this reason, the five Supremes firmly believed that the existence they were looking for was hidden on Earth, starting a battle lasting tens of thousands of years."

Skylark listened to his review, getting closer to the truth, then she looked at the last passage of the epitaph, interpreting: "Qilin Venerable created a Divine Ruins capable of reversing life and death with his own bones and blood, an unprecedented miracle, where dead souls resurrect and withered bodies are remade."

She articulated each word: "Moreover, after the cycles of life and death, reaching the eternal shore! Candle Light and You Ying converge here!"
