The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 994 - 466: Ancestor Star

No one knew how much time had passed, perhaps a few hours, or maybe an entire night.

Gu Jianlin had a dream. In his dream, he once again descended to that ancient and desolate Ancestor Star. However, this time, he did not see the towering ancient tree or the lotus flowers blooming everywhere. Instead, he arrived at an ancient, sacred stone tower. At the top was a bedroom of classic elegance, with candlelight bright as the sea, illuminating a graceful and enchanting silhouette.

There was the vague sound of a dragon’s roar, echoing throughout heaven and earth.

He awoke with a start, sitting up abruptly.

It was still the same suite, the ambiguous lighting illuminating the darkness.

Tang Ling lay asleep beside him, her disheveled red hair cascading over her charming face, her sleeping expression delicate and charming.

The blanket barely covered her round, smooth shoulders, with her delicate and slender collarbones visible.

And, of course, there was that even more pleasing snowy whiteness.

Even with such a beautiful view, he did not become lost in it; in fact, it made him more wary.

Because he smelled that ancient and desolate aura.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, then lifted the blanket and got out of bed, drawing back the curtains.

A ruined world invaded his sight.

It was an ancient and desolate world, with flying sand and stones filling the sky, shielding the dilapidated ancient ruins. A cold wind hit his face, carrying a kind of extinguished, desolate chill that made one shiver slightly.

Indeed, this was still an illusion.

Only by mastering the Third Law could one enter such a dream.

Tang Ling’s long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake from her slumber.

Gu Jianlin swiftly moved over and gently covered her ruby lips.

At that moment, Tang Ling opened her rose-colored eyes, staring at him blankly.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Gu Jianlin softly said, "Welcome to the world of the Third Law. Last time, when I unintentionally released that power, I accidentally came here. If it weren’t for... well, if it weren’t for someone’s help, I’d already be dead. As far as I know, besides us, there are two Ancient Supremes here."

His voice was low, as if afraid of startling the gods.

When entering the illusion, it seemed to replicate scenes from reality.

This time, even the hotel was replicated, giving the impression that after a night’s sleep, the entire world had become a desolate wasteland, as if a thousand years had passed, with everything remaining but the people different.

Tang Ling sat up suddenly, frowning, and muttered, "What a broken illusion, yet so real."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback, only to meet her glare.

"Turn around."

Tang Ling scolded, "Don’t look."

Gu Jianlin quickly turned around, hearing the rustling sounds behind him.

Although he had seen everything that should and should not be seen.

But at least the basic decency should be maintained.

It’s like the saying, "There is no three hundred taels of silver buried here."

Gu Jianlin also dressed up, only turning around after the sounds behind him had ceased.

Tang Ling’s red hair had faded to frosty white again, with a red loose jacket paired with a white short dress, a black belt outlining her slender waist, and leg bands tied around her legs. She was putting on her shoes, muttering, "Now that we’re at the top of the Superdimensional Level, we need to accumulate a lot of spirituality. Just relying on secret medicine isn’t enough, as it leads to drug resistance. Dual cultivation... might be a good method."

"But this sort of thing needs moderation, especially since you’re still young and in your growth phase, you can’t be too indulgent."

Her originally cool face inexplicably had an alluring charm, and in a slightly hoarse voice filled with unquestionable authority, she said softly, "I’m the senior sister; listen to me."

Originally, it was all about playing it cool mutually; who knew he’d decide to actively play it bold.

She wasn’t even prepared for it.

Luckily, it wasn’t during her physiological period, or it would have been truly embarrassing.

After leaving this illusion, she would have to buy medicine, what a hassle!

Gu Jianlin quietly admired her outfit. He had to admit, she was the kind of girl who knew how to dress well, showcasing her tall and graceful figure to the fullest, especially those enticing long legs, which were truly eye-catching.

Sometimes when he felt tired, he’d also admire the beauty of the Moon Princess and Thunder.

Because they were indeed very beautiful.

"I can distinguish between illusion and reality."

He said sincerely.

If the President could know in his afterlife, he’d likely snort with disdain again.

Young people are naive, still unable to tell reality from illusion.

Of course, the old man achieves just the effect he desires.

Tang Ling frowned slightly, sensing something off with this, but didn’t delve into it.

She extended her pale, soft right hand, saying, "Lend me a hand."

Gu Jianlin didn’t understand her intent, but still obediently helped her up, and they walked out of the room together.

No one knew what might happen in this illusion, the only thing certain was that people could really die here, and there’s a terrifying Ancient Supreme Level being guarding the place, with the slightest carelessness leading to utter doom.

As expected, there was no one else here; the entire hotel was empty.

When they stepped out of the hotel, it was no longer the familiar Peak City outside.

Instead, it was like ancient ruins, resembling the deepest depths of Hell.

"Is this the Mother Star of the Ancient God Clan?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Tang Ling nervously clutched the boy’s clothes, never having imagined she’d feel such girlish fear.

Gu Jianlin gave an affirmative sound: "If nothing unexpected occurs, yes."

The ancient ruins were shrouded in howling wind and sand, and the massive sculptures standing in the city had long collapsed, with only a faint Light coming from the Golden Ancient Tree in sight, even if only its vague outline could be seen.

If viewed from high above, a pitch-black sea could also be seen, evidently the Ghostly Glowing Lotus.

"Didn’t you say there’d be a Supreme Level being guarding here to kill us?"

Tang Ling lowered her voice, like a wary little fox: "Where is it?"

Gu Jianlin explained: "That is the Vermilion Bird Venerate. It should be the first life to arrive on the Ancestor Star, standing guard here to eliminate all gods or humans attempting to touch the Third Law. Yet, the second person to master the Third Law was the Candle Dragon Venerable. Even with the advantage of arriving first, the Vermilion Bird Venerate cannot eliminate the Candle Dragon Venerable. If my guess is correct, they should be fighting now, too busy to bother with us little karimi."

This was, after all, the endpoint Ancient Supremes had attempted to reach for millions of years.

Tang Ling surveyed her surroundings, only able to sense the might and awe from the passage of time.

"It’s a good thing if they’re fighting; we might even learn some applications of the Third Law."

Gu Jianlin also examined the desolate city, expressionless as he said, "Moreover, I have the Colorless Jade in my hand, brought from the Divine Ruins, the prototype of the Third Supreme. If an Ancient Supreme really wishes to kill us, perhaps I can use that as a bargaining chip to save our lives. Remember how Doctor Strange negotiated with Dormammu? We could tell it: Ancient Supreme, we’re here to discuss terms."

"That was just a movie,"

Tang Ling said softly, "Didn’t expect you to actually have a sense of humor."

"In such a ghostly place, cracking a joke appropriately isn’t surprising."

Gu Jianlin really wanted to say he wasn’t entirely joking, because that Crimson really had such intentions.

Of course, the Candle Dragon Venerable might not have good intentions either.

After all, they coveted the Colorless Jade in his hands.

"At worst, I could throw the Colorless Jade and let them fight to the death."

Gu Jianlin spread his hands: "It’d be best if the Vermilion Bird Venerate died; by rounding it off, it’d count as avenging myself."

Tang Ling gave him a sidelong glance: "When did you become so cunning?"

Gu Jianlin didn’t deny it: "I’ve always been quite cunning."

In the next moment, their steps halted.

Because the scene before them shook them to the core.

The ’Evolution Theory’ was completely overturned here.

The secrets of the origin of life were right before their eyes.
