Chapter 1111: Chapter 516: Taiqing’s Awakening_2
He emphasized: "These are the rules."
Gu Jianlin still felt uneasy: "With Grandmaster’s abilities, why didn’t she discover it?"
"Taihua fought with
for most of our lives, naturally she would be extrely cautious against , even after my death. Just in case, she buried
here to keep a constant watch over . It’s a pity she calculated so carefully but didn’t foresee, in ancient tis on Earth, there was a peculiar ceremony that took place."
The old man shook his head and said: "After that ceremony ended, Candle Light God underwent subtle changes."
Gu Jianlin didn’t understand its significance.
"The Candle Light Divine Tree acquired hidden power, or rather, cognitive correction."
The old man patiently explained: "Your senior brother’s Yengjade’s Eyes ca exactly from this. It’s not an illusion technique, but a modification based on the world. Qiongqi Venerable used this power to make himself disappear."
Gu Jianlin suddenly beca aware, realizing: "Qiongqi Venerable’s Ancient Divine Language!"
The old man’s tone carried a hint of relief as he nodded: "Yes, the Candle Light Divine Tree also gained hidden characteristics, thereby even in its vastness, it was hard to find over billions of years. And as a Candle Light Believer, I naturally possess similar abilities. That’s precisely why Taihua didn’t notice my anomaly."
So that’s how it was.
Gu Jianlin then understood why the President wanted to keep this old man’s corpse.
Including her own corpse, she didn’t want to hand it over to the Bai Ze Clan.
This is the most fundantal reason.
"Of course, my situation is different from Chi’s."
The old man chuckled: "The curse of the Ghostly Glowing Lotus was resolved billions of years ago, which is why the Ancient God Clan could regain their primordial form, even liberating the Ancient Divine Language. They could consu the Ancient God’s Breath and live forever, towering over the world. You probably don’t know that before the curse of the Ghostly Glowing Lotus was resolved, the Gods and humans were virtually indistinguishable. They possessed trendous power but were unable to free themselves due to the curse."
As if thunder suddenly arose in silence.
Gu Jianlin’s mind, muddled, was split open by a stroke of thunder, the threads in the mist suddenly beca clear, and the unsolved mysteries of the past suddenly found answers, inspiration surged like a spring.
Previously he had been curious, wondering what the curse of the Ancient God Clan was.
What disaster did Candle Light and You Ying bring to this race?
Now he understood.
Civilization needs to progress, and in the beginning, billions of years ago, the Ancient God Clan wasn’t like it is now!
"The Inheritance Path also didn’t first appear on Earth."
The old man said lightly: "It existed since the Ancient God Clan first ca into being."
Gu Jianlin was not surprised upon hearing this; all clues pointed to the two Primordials and the ancient relics left in Qilin Immortal Palace also proved that the Ancient God Clan had a primitive, ignorant era.
The Ancient God Clan also needed to live, having gathered tribes and religious beliefs, hunting or eating with tools, dwelling in palatial places, and possessing brilliant civilizational achievents.
The Ancient God Seeds were their livestock, strange and extraordinary materials were their planted crops.
They once looked at the starry sky, formulating calendars, exploring the laws and mysteries of the universe, naming it Alchemy.
They once sought evolution like humans do!
"The Ancient God Clan was a cursed race until the birth of a Supre ended it all."
The old man said with emotion: "Qilin Venerable...not you, but the one before you."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a mont, calmly asked: "What did He do?"
The old man thought for a bit and concluded: "Probably to kill the two Primordials."
Love isn’t without reason, nor is hatred without direction.
Only Candle Light and You Ying could make that dark Supre hate so much.
"If you want to ask why Qilin Venerable hated the two Primordials so much, then I can’t answer you. This might be related to Qilin Venerable’s birth, and only when you truly et Him can you find the answer."
The old man also said calmly: "Including why He would choose you."
Gu Jianlin’s eyes narrowed suddenly, asking: "Is He still alive?"
The old man chuckled: "Am I alive?"
Gu Jianlin was taken aback.
"The Ancient God Clan is a race full of infinite possibilities, you might et Him in the future, or maybe see Him in the past. If He wishes to et you, there’s always a way."
The old man’s laughter suddenly beca eerie: "You ever know why Qilin turned against Vermilion Bird and Candle Dragon? Back then, the Ancient Supres joined hands to kill You Ying God, who could also be called their Mother God. Despite being the only blood relatives in the universe, why did they turn against each other on Earth?"
"I ntioned earlier, there was a mysterious ceremony on Earth."
He sighed: "It was this ceremony that changed the view of Candle Dragon Venerable and Vermilion Bird Venerate."
Gu Jianlin instinctively gripped the Qilin Wedge, vaguely thinking of a terrifying possibility.
"Professor Cheng might have told you that you can also beco a Primordial."
The old man’s figure flickered in the candlelight, speaking softly: "That mysterious ceremony was precisely prepared by Qiongqi Venerable to usurp the Primordials. Unfortunately, Qiongqi Venerable failed. Instead, the not yet fully awakened Candle Light God completely suppressed the body of that Supre, utilizing His authority."
Gu Jianlin murmured: "Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird also realized what happened in that ceremony, which is why they had different ideas, wanting to continue...Qiongqi Venerable’s ceremony!"
No wonder Qilin would never leak the secrets of the Third Law, yet Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird could also practice this secret technique, they had pieced together clues from Qiongqi’s legacy.
The old man tacitly agreed.
"Where did that ceremony take place?"
Gu Jianlin raised his eyes, staring intensely at his back.
"Gangrenboqi."
The old man answered calmly.
Gu Jianlin took a deep breath, whispered: "That’s why Qilin turned against Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird. From a certain perspective, Bai Ze and Xuanming are Qilin’s allies, but they have already..."
"Bai Ze Venerable once was forced into slumber by Candle Dragon Venerable, Xuanming Venerable was sealed by Vermilion Bird Venerate."
The old man said faintly: "Only Qilin Venerable remains in the present world, but unfortunately stands alone. More than two thousand years ago, Qilin Venerable was slain atop the Azure Sea, heralding the rule of the supre beings of the Candle Light line over the world. Candle Dragon and Vermilion Bird respectively began the experints of the Third Law. Now it seems, Vermilion Bird laughed until the end."
This old coot spoke shockingly, indifferently said: "Soone t
before you, and also got answers from . Her state is quite bad, hardly able to tell who she is anymore."
Gu Jianlin was startled, turned to look at the woman behind the shadow.
Taiqing definitely didn’t refer to this Divine Servant, but her Master.
Skylark!
"Skylark ca here in advance?"
Gu Jianlin uttered, realizing he had underestimated that wicked woman.
Back in the lab when ambushed, she was just a step ahead of him.
Unexpectedly, Skylark explored the entire tomb before returning.
"You say she’s unable to tell who she is, what exactly do you an?"
Gu Jianlin coldly questioned: "Answer ."
The final three words carried no warmth, terrifying like a monster’s roar.
The candlelight flickered as if about to extinguish, the Buddhist temple trembled.
The old man smiled mockingly: "You care about her?"
Gu Jianlin didn’t speak.
"Has anyone ever told you that when profiling others, you should also learn to conceal yourself."
The old man said blandly: "You are my grand-disciple, I’ve naturally studied you. For soone as emotionally indifferent as you, if you actually fall for soone, it’s too obvious."
Gu Jianlin avoided the topic, coldly staring at him.
"Skylark’s mories and emotions are in chaos, in today’s terms, she’s... experiencing a personality split. This ti she ca to see
mainly to confirm how deeply Vermilion Bird Venerate has penetrated the Candle Light Divine Tree. Of course, she also wants to find a way to decisively retaliate and stop Vermilion Bird."
The old man laughed: "Even if I knew, how could I possibly tell her?"
Gu Jianlin supported himself on the Qilin Wedge, carefully observing the hunched back in the candlelight, suddenly asked: "Martial uncle, are you currently a follower of Candle Light, or...a follower of Vermilion Bird?"
