The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 946 - 443: Bai Ze Venerable’s Consciousness
Suspended in the sky over Tokyo is a majestic azure Qilin.
A terrifying one-eyed gaze deep within the dark clouds silently stares at it, cold and emotionless in the depths of its pupil.
As the winds rise and clouds swirl, the horrifying Ancient God’s Breath boils like molten lava, seemingly threatening to burn a hole in the sky, with faint flashes of lightning illuminating the chaotic city below.
Even though violence rages in the streets, the oppression high above remains stifling as death.
"Are you the Kua Fu Ancestor?"
After a long silence, the azure Qilin spoke indifferently, "No, that’s not right, who exactly are you?"
As the strongest Catastrophe, the King of Qing, even though grievously injured, is not intimidated by the Orochi Society’s lackeys. The only true adversary is the Ancient Ancestors suspended in the air.
The Bai Ze Clan, venerable among them is Kua Fu.
A great being from Ancient myths that once chased the sun, perished in Ancient Times for doing so.
Ancient Gods of the Bai Ze Clan had appeared in various divine forms across world mythologies, and they indeed walked closely with humanity due to the advantage of understanding human nature.
Yet the King of Qing’s wariness is not because this is a great Ancient Ancestor.
It’s because something is off about its state.
The terrifying one-eyed gaze locks onto him, and amidst thunder and lightning, a calm voice emerges: "As expected of her student, when I foresaw your birth a thousand years ago, I never anticipated you would grow this powerful."
The King of Qing was stunned, having some realization of who this being might be.
To occupy the consciousness of an Ancient Ancestor, throughout history, it could only be the Master, of the same origin.
An individual of Supreme Level.
"You may call me Bai Ze Venerable."
A faint rumble emanates from the clouds, resembling the divine whispering.
The terrifying one-eyed gaze surprisingly reflects the visage of a white-haired youth, who lifts his graceful face and smiles gently: "In reality, I am not the Supreme’s true form. I am separated, representing the consciousness of humanity. One like you should understand, this is preparation for the Third Law."
The azure Qilin scrutinizes him, sighing contemplatively: "Vermilion Bird, Qilin, Candle Dragon. Is even you ready now? Indeed, evolution is the instinct of every life, even the Ancient Supreme cannot refuse."
"Sometimes, it’s beyond control."
Deep within the clouds, the white-haired youth responds.
The King of Qing sighed deeply, a bitter smile forming: "Such words emerging from your mouth truly send shivers down the spine. It seems Master is no longer here, the apocalypse genuinely imminent. The ignorant masses have always believed that delaying the apocalypse alone was my doing, little did they know it was Master instead."
"Destruction, sometimes is also a new beginning."
The white-haired youth smiled and replied: "Before the apocalypse, we must all prepare."
The King of Qing chuckled: "Thus the Bai Ze Clan is invading the real world?"
Unexpectedly, the white-haired youth offered a humorously sarcastic reply, "The Bai Ze Clan is not a charity, why would they help humanity unconditionally? The past simply wasn’t opportune, whereas now is just right. Miss Su has yet to regain her peak condition, no matter if she truly is my sister, once she emerges, the world will tremble for her. And Mr. Gu’s wings aren’t fully grown, unable to stir anything major."
He paused: "In this period, I just need to guard against the Vermilion Bird."
The King of Qing mused: "Utilizing the entirety of the Human World’s strength against the Vermilion Bird Venerate, is that it?"
"Indeed, my plan is such, and your demise is near."
The white-haired youth’s calm voice was all the more chilling: "In fact, I should immediately command Kua Fu to perish alongside you, at all costs. I know what you are guarding, the Colorless Jade in your student’s possession. You should have hidden away to recuperate but couldn’t abandon your exceptional disciple."
"Human emotions are really perplexing, something that transcends benefit."
He spoke earnestly: "I am still learning."
Even though not Bai Ze Venerable’s true form, existing as an independently separated consciousness, he presents himself like a curious scholar, earnestly learning everything about the Human World, assimilating their civilization.
It’s a very eerie sensation.
Almost like a newly born artificial intelligence.
This is the puppet created by Bai Ze Venerable, to replace his slumber and govern this world.
The King of Qing hurriedly refuted: "How could that be, why would I guard that rebellious student? If you wanted to snatch the Colorless Jade, I’d certainly not obstruct you. In truth, I also desire that item, but as a teacher there’s no face to snatch a student’s belonging, right? Why not have you be the shameless one, bullying the weak?"
The white-haired youth calmly stated: "There’s no need to provoke me with words, for I would never act so. Your student just passed my first test, I must uphold my promise."
The King of Qing was taken aback: "Test?"
The visage of the white-haired youth grew increasingly clear, his flawless appearance devoid of any emotional fluctuation, merely narrating bland facts: "In the final days before Ji Zhou’s death, she visited me at Lishan. We discussed, for a day and night, what was forthcoming, but regretfully our opinions did not align."
"Ji Zhou is the most remarkable human I’ve ever encountered throughout history, and frankly, I greatly admire her, regrettably, she is not of the Ancient God Clan, otherwise she would certainly become a great Divine."
