The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 900 - 424: Red King, Resurrection! (Part 2)
It was a man clad in rough cloth robes running madly along the Divine Path, collapsing into ashes.
These people from the Ancient Times had truly been resurrected, with a tangible second chance at life, among them were women and men, but more were the elderly, the weak, and children.
Gu Jianlin was stunned.
Because he could understand that ancient language.
The man who went mad just now was clearly saying it was the third time!
Why the third time!
His Qilin Wedge was buzzing loudly, an invisible domain spread out, enveloping those figures.
Skylark watched as an old man holding his granddaughter knelt before him, crying out loudly, "God! Save my child! Please save her!"
Before he finished speaking, the old man was also consumed by the flames erupting from within his body.
Only a little girl was left, blinking her eyes, wailing in sorrow.
Gu Jianlin was stunned, because the old man had inadvertently touched him, and he could feel the warmth of the body, and the pleading face of the old man, the desperation and hope in his eyes.
These people considered them as gods, probably not knowing who they were, assuming they were Outer Heaven Guests.
Just as he wanted to pick up the little girl, she was snatched away by someone.
"Very well, it seems I can touch them within the domain of the Qilin Wedge too."
Skylark looked at the child expressionlessly, lightly snapping the fingers of her right hand: "Then..."
Gu Jianlin was taken aback, watching as the Void trembled and shattered, a blood-colored Ancient Dragon surged forth, swallowing the girl whole, and disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Don’t think about it, this girl can’t be saved, the fire of divine wrath is about to ignite in her body, her life would be better spent doing something meaningful before it fades, like nurturing me. As long as we are within this Spiritual Domain, we don’t need the power of devouring to seize their Life Force."
The blood in Skylark’s eyes grew more intense, her voice ethereal and distant: "Of course, you possess the authority of devouring, you can try to seize their vitality, perhaps it would make you feel better."
Gu Jianlin simply couldn’t accept this scene, although he knew his thoughts would be criticized as those of a Holy Mother, his pride and dignity would not permit him, under any circumstance, to do such a thing to a little girl.
"They are living people."
"They have long been dead!"
Skylark coldly stared at him: "The Qilin Venerable created this matrix originally to devour them; if you don’t believe me you can try, see if you can easily harvest them."
Gu Jianlin also met her gaze unflinchingly.
Of course, now is not the time for internal conflict, the number of collapsing palaces increases, while the burning ancients rush towards this Divine Ruins one after another, some already showing signs of Deformation, wanting to devour them.
Gu Jianlin took a deep breath and strode forward, the Qilin Wedge raising a cold arc of light that severed time and space, cutting these would-be devourers of his life in half, burying them in the collapsing time-space.
Skylark snapped her fingers, and the blood-colored Ancient Dragon in the Void roared out, frantically devouring these lives.
"You think I shouldn’t have killed that little girl?"
She said indifferently: "The essence of this world is the survival of the fittest, the weak cannot survive, I just gave her a quicker death. Otherwise, she would suffer the punishment of the gods!"
Her eyes carried a hint of mockery and scorn.
For Gu Jianlin, even when killing, he would never devour these lives.
Even if doing so would make himself feel much better.
Their state gradually recovered, like ghosts they charged towards the Divine Ruins.
The bronze pillars on either side trembled mightily.
The patterns on the left pillar surface seemed like sunrise over a sea, brilliant divine light illuminating heaven and earth.
This represents Zhu Zhao!
The patterns on the right pillar surface seemed like the moon hiding behind clouds, dark lights intertwining.
This upside-down pyramid erupted with light as it trembled, the ancient Stone Gate rose thunderously, countless sculptures of Qilin seemed to roar, dense Life Force surged forth like a sea tide!
Jiang Chunyang laughed wildly, pulling out the tip of an ancient sword from who knows where.
A dark light flashed, and laughing wildly he rushed into the gate of the Divine Ruins!
Gu Jianlin’s pupils suddenly constricted, for his Qilin Wedge sensed something, trembling madly.
That was the Qilin Wedge!
No wonder, being the Family Head of the Jiang Family, he obviously wanted to enter the Divine Ruins, but never sought the fragment of the Wedge.
It turned out a piece of the Qilin Wedge was in his hand all along.
Perhaps it was the most important piece.
This must be the legacy left by the Red King, meant for his own resurrection!
"Stop him."
Gu Jianlin said quietly.
Skylark watched this scene, speaking coldly: "That must be for you to stop him! Use the Qilin Wedge!"
They exchanged a look, and together charged into the endless light.

Jiang Chunyang got his wish and entered the interior of the Divine Ruins.
This is the interior space of the upside-down pyramid, where an ancient golden tree flows with radiant light in the darkness, a sea of black flowers grows beneath it, the abundant Life Force already condensed into a tangible form, rushing like tides, as if representing a flowing ocean, with endless corpses floating on its surface.
The Divine Ruins were unimaginably large, even with the use of curvatures, it still required three full moves.
This old ghost living for four hundred years laughed loudly, raising his hand to pull out a black coffin from his little world, chains and strange spells covered the coffin, motionless even without wind.
