The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 902 - 425: Breaking Ties!

As Gu Jianlin rushed into the Divine Ruins, he was confronted by a horrifying scene.

Jiang Chunyang, who was just a step away from immortality, staggered backward as if his soul had been extracted. His chest was hollowed out, and blood spurted out like a waterfall, staining the ground red.

A handsome young man hugged his corpse tightly, as if bidding him a final farewell.

The young man’s face seemed familiar.

Especially his eyes, which held a faint smile, as if greeting someone.

"Stop him!"

Gu Jianlin said instinctively.

He raised the Qilin Wedge, ready to unleash his strongest strike.

At that moment, he heard the sound of the wind—the sharpness of the blade slicing through the air, as fierce as wind and thunder.

The brilliance of the Candle Light Law lit up in his eyes.

That woman also shone with golden splendor.

It should have been like this.

This was their combined attack. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Bang!

Gu Jianlin was struck and sent flying, crashing into countless Qilin stone statues like a cannonball, eventually falling into a pile of ruins. Accompanied by the spreading dust and smoke, he made no more sound.

Skylark held the crimson ghost knife, her stunningly beautiful face expressionless.

"When did you start doubting me?"

She said softly.

The Red King continued to embrace his endangered father, forcibly freezing time and space. The old man had lost his sense of time and posed no further threat. He knew the woman wasn’t speaking to him, so he simply watched the farce with a smile, without interrupting.

Skylark had reasons to ask because her earlier strike should have buried the boy directly. Even if it was just a clone of the Qilin Forbidden Curse, the important thing was to stop him from causing trouble.

Unfortunately, she didn’t succeed.

Logically, that was unlikely given the vast gap in power.

Moreover, she was ambushing him.

There’s only one explanation.

As the fog cleared, Gu Jianlin sat limply among the rubble, his breathing gradually stabilizing.

Realm of Freedom.

He used the Realm of Freedom in advance, proving he had been prepared.

The seventeen-year-old boy sat in the ruins, his calm demeanor causing unease, for although he was the one betrayed, he showed no anger or agitation.

Skylark even thought she should hear his roar to feel it was more natural.

"Dealing with people like you is truly exhausting. Before this, I never imagined the world could be so complicated... complicated to the point of disappointment."

Gu Jianlin rose from the ruins. The earlier vigilance had kept his clone intact, allowing him to explain calmly: "Back on Penglai Fairy Island, I encountered my Destiny Reflection. Perhaps future me was so strong that it managed to break free from future constraints and warned me with a word."

He said softly, "Beware of bad women."

Skylark stared at him, expressionless: "How did you know that bad woman was me?"

"Because you are the one the Xia Family serves, and they came to Penglai Fairy Island to seize the Spiritual Fusion Secret Technique. I mastered that technique, allowing me to integrate two Supreme Laws."

Gu Jianlin met her gaze, devoid even of disappointment: "You’re just like me, proving you also possess the Spiritual Fusion Secret Technique. At the time, my Destiny Reflection targeted members of the You Ying Group. Yet I didn’t see him; he was likely killed by you. In the future, we’ll probably be opponents."

Skylark squinted her beautiful eyes: "Anything else?"

"Since you’ve seen my Destiny Reflection, you’d definitely be wary of what it told me."

Gu Jianlin continued: "So, to earn my trust, you used extreme measures."

Skylark remained silent.

"Your amnesia was fake."

Gu Jianlin said softly: "From start to finish, you knew precisely who you were, as well as your objectives and plan. Saving me in the Sea of Eternal Life was precisely the start of it all."

"What did you plan to use me for? Your aim was the President behind me. The intelligence you led me to was all what you wanted to release. For this reason, the President paid attention. Also, perhaps using me to seize things in the Divine Ruins. In conclusion, it’s all a scam."

His voice carried no warmth: "Skylark, since the beginning, you’ve been deceiving me, cooperating with the Think Tank. The Think Tank is your true ally, working with you to act out finding The Order of the Hidden’s lab. You’ve also cooperated in revealing the Red King’s sleeping shrine, including Dr. Aaron’s diary, which wasn’t entirely fake."

Actually, it’s not just these; earlier one burning Sinner shouted "the third time."

What is the third time?

Because the resurrection ritual here has already been performed three times!

Clap, clap, clap.

The Red King clapped, his smile deepening: "My admiration is well-deserved; you are right. Miss Skylark has always been my ally, cooperating with me in this act. But actually, we didn’t completely deceive you. For instance, Dr. Aaron’s diary is actually real... it was just, the timing that was wrong."

Gu Jianlin recalled the contents in the diary.

"January 3, 1956, I again heard his breath and heartbeat. I thought I was going crazy. He had been dead for many years, so I must be overly tired, hallucinating."
