Chapter 1145: Chapter 534: The Vanished Man (2)
"Old man, I’ve been fighting with you for half my life."
Commander Lu flexed his wrist, looking at him coldly: "Back then, I thought your ambition was too big. You’re not a Catastrophe, yet you gave yourself such a code na. You never really respected the senior brothers and sisters, including . I adopted Lin Dong as my foster son, and you nurtured Rhein as your successor. I went to the battlefield while you played with sches, Lin Dong and Rhein inherited our will and finally succeeded in splitting the Order World."
Platinum sneered: "I don’t care."
Commander Lu said coldly: "Even if being used by others, you still don’t care?"
Platinum propped himself up with the Iron Sword, soaked by the rain, his eyes as piercing as an Evil Spirit’s, he snarled: "I was chosen by the teacher, how could I possibly be used by others?"
Commander Lu shouted: "Even now you don’t believe in The Order of the Hidden?"
Unexpectedly, Platinum’s gaze deepened: "Of course I believe."
Commander Lu’s gaze was astonished, clearly stunned.
"I once thought I inherited the teacher’s will, but later found out I couldn’t practice the Candle Light Law. Candle Light God didn’t choose , so I had to nurture my son. But later I found even my son couldn’t be truly accepted."
Platinum licked his lips, laughing coldly: "At that ti, I thought it was because of Master’s presence, blocking the will of the Candle Light Divine Tree, so I had to kill her at any cost."
Commander Lu was enraged, his eyes showing furious bloodshot: "Bastard!"
"Or else what?"
Platinum’s terrifying face was highlighted by lightning: "Was it really to help the teacher avenge?"
"Master was protecting the Heavenly Person’s legacy!"
Commander Lu rebuked: "You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"Unfortunately, I never calculated that Master solved the Primordial curse before her death, preventing Candle Light believers from turning. Reluctantly, I had to think of another way, which was to usurp. According to my research, the true leader of Candle Light believers has a cursed power."
Platinum smiled strangely: "As long as I transfer the curse, I can still inherit the teacher’s legacy."
Commander Lu realized the man before him wasn’t stupid but utterly mad, having gone down a dark path.
Pursuing what the world avoids at all costs!
"Because my talent isn’t enough, I have no other way to catch up with them!"
Platinum roared: "I can only pursue Primordial power, becoming a being beyond history!"
Sword Intent trembled, tearing the pervasive rain, the fractured street penetrated by fierce sword marks.
"We’ve been friends for two hundred years; be smart."
He said softly: "Let
fulfill it."
Commander Lu was taken aback, frowning: "What are you talking about?"
"Still pretending? Aren’t the real Candle Light believers you?"
Platinum said quietly: "Other than Lin Dong, who else?"

Nine ancient Buddhist statues glowed with the golden light of the swastika, the temple’s floor tiles flowed with a golden brilliance, spreading like thick magma, as if nurturing an ocean of sun-like gold.
Lin Dong knelt on the ditation mat, reciting ancient Buddhist scriptures, seemingly communicating with the heavens and nature.
Back during the battle at the Divine Ruins, he intended to lead his followers against the rebels, but at the critical mont received a classified ssage from the Deep Space Network, recording the President’s last commandnt.
It was a secret mission only he could fulfill.
Hence, he made that weak move, exchanging peace through self-imprisonnt.
In fact, he’s been in Huayan Temple, trying to awaken the dormant Heavenly Person’s Wedge.
Not only that, he has always been trying to connect with the outside world using the Night Watcher’s unique thods.
Now, he hasn’t received news from his subordinates for a long ti, knowing what’s happened, the Order World’s internal strife finally broke out, and everyone, guilty or innocent, has been caught in the war’s at grinder.
As a Ninth Rank Taixu God, he can foresee his companions facing life-and-death crises.
Especially not long ago, he sensed his two closest subordinates were brutally murdered.
The heart-piercing pain almost ripped through his soul.
Sotis he wanted to give up awakening the Heavenly Person’s Wedge, rushing out of the temple to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Just his rationality stopped him.
He couldn’t do that.
Or everything would be for naught.
He suppressed sadness and anger, continuing to recite ancient Buddhist scriptures, and the Alchemy Matrix turned roaringly.
Just at this mont, Lin Dong heard the sound of a sword blade cutting through the air, familiar footsteps behind him.
Finally, it’s here.
Once, Lin Dong and Rhein were inseparable partners in their youth, also pledging to protect the real world together. Sadly, fate played tricks, and sowhere along the way, they started walking different paths, differences in ideology and belief leading to separation.
Eventually, leading to many things happening, the Order World disintegrated.
"Long ti no see, Lin Dong."
Rhein’s cold voice ca from behind: "As expected, you still haven’t given up."
Lin Dong’s attempt to awaken the Heavenly Person’s Wedge indicates he hasn’t given up, he’s still fighting.
"How could I give up?"
Lin Dong turned around, his gaze firm as stone: "So many comrades of the Nightwatch Departnt died for this. If I give up, their sacrifices would be in vain, wouldn’t it?"
As he spoke, his voice trembled, the Iron Sword at his right hand bood loudly.
Rhein raised his hand to summon the Iron Sword, coldly saying: "Is it really for them?"
Lin Dong frowned, not understanding.
"I think there’s another more important reason you haven’t ntioned."
Rhein flicked his finger, the Iron Sword pierced through Buddha light like a long rainbow, sword Qi howling out.
"Because you are Mr. Solomon!"
In the explosive sword Qi, Lin Dong felt the fierce Sword Intent, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Before dawn, Gu Jianlin finally found the person he was looking for under a broken street lamp.
Unfortunately, he was too late.
The ancient temple glowed with Buddha light, illuminating the dark and narrow street, the bodies of a man and a woman lay cold in the ruins of the pedestrian street, covered in terrible sword marks, blood flowing mixed with rainwater.
It was Han Jing and Fu Qingxuan.
Even as Qilin Forbidden Curse’s avatar, Gu Jianlin felt heart-piercing pain, his mind blank.
Han Jing was enveloped in icy Frost, her empty eyes reflecting the gloomy sky. This cold woman originally left a bad impression on him, too assertive and ruthless, until later he learned she was his stepmother, and that initial unpleasant conversation was rely for her better protection.
After joining the Ether Association, he rarely t her.
But she took care of him every ti they t.
Now seeing her again, life and death have already parted them.
Fu Qingxuan was the sa, they t in Peak City’s West Port Forbidden Zone, and it was this man’s testimony that allowed Uncle Mu and them to overturn their case, even starting a new investigation into the Blood Moon Slaughter incident’s truth.
But he died.
Leaving Gu Jianlin unsure how to explain when he returned.
Soft footsteps sounded faintly.
A man wearing a red skull mask stood at the McDonald’s entrance, holding a hot latte.
"Long ti no see."
He said softly.
Gu Jianlin reached out his hands to close the eyes of the two seniors, silently standing up.

Xia Zhi stared fearfully at two photos switching back and forth on her phone, finally shaking her head.
"Neither, right?"
Su Youxia put away the phone, her delicate face under the sunglasses showing no joy or sorrow.
"Then let
show you another photo."
Jiang Ziyue took a yellowed photo from his pocket, asking with a grin: "Is it him?"
Upon clearly seeing the man in the photo, Xia Zhi’s pupils finally revealed massive fear.
"It really is him."
Su Youxia said softly: "The missing one."
Jiang Ziyue stopped laughing, enunciating carefully: "Zero’s second senior brother..."
