Gu Jianlin imagined, the large and small figures sitting on the rooftop, watching him leave for and return from school.
"Two peeping toms."
He couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, when he was by himself, he hadn't done anything particularly embarrassing.
It was a strange feeling, realizing that his life had been under soone's protection from beginning to end.
Not only the ominous Old Gu, but also a beautiful girl.
Su Youzhu had been by his side for a whole eight years, without him knowing, staying near yet never coming close.
"Don't you feel bored?"
Gu Jianlin suddenly asked.
Su Youzhu shook her head gently and said in a soft voice, "Not at all. Observing soone's life from afar is quite interesting. Besides, I know that the things I've gained were originally ant to be yours."
Gu Jianlin remarked, "Don't you think he's trying to find
a child bride? Doesn't that bother you?"
Su Youzhu thought about it seriously: "That depends on who I'd be a child bride for."
This sentence carried multiple layers of aning.
Gu Jianlin caught all of them.
"So why were you so happy the first ti you t ?"
He deftly shifted the subject.
"Because I sensed that you were on the verge of awakening, and I wouldn't need to keep hiding from you anymore."
Su Youzhu pouted, "Also, it gave
a reason to have you do my howork."
Ha, won.
Gu Jianlin asked, "Did Old Gu's guide ntion anything about this place?"
"Hmm."
Su Youzhu blinked her beautiful eyes and tilted her head, thinking. "He only said that this is a trap."
Gu Jianlin frowned, "A trap?"
This matched the records he'd seen in the Soul Skywell.
"The guide ntioned that the teacher always believed the Qilin Immortal Palace had a deliberate design, but that was just his profile of it, with no concrete evidence. However, ever since he returned from these Ancient Ruins, he beca increasingly convinced of it."
Su Youzhu raised a fair finger and lightly tapped her red lips. "He told
that although, two thousand years ago, during that great battle, Qilin Venerable indeed lost to Candle Dragon Venerable, the Qilin Wedge was sothing Qilin Venerable intentionally allowed Candle Dragon Venerable to shatter."
Gu Jianlin was taken aback.
"When he first entered the Qilin Immortal Palace, the place was riddled with traps, and Qilin Venerable's Spiritual Domain was volatile to the extre, as if it could engulf the entire Ancient God Realm into a ti-space turbulence at any mont."
Su Youzhu reminded him, "At that ti, he also felt like sothing was watching him—a being of unimaginable rank, whose presence even he couldn't detect."
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a second. That was most likely Qilin Venerable, wasn't it?
"But then the teacher said that after spending so ti in the Immortal Palace, he suddenly felt the volatile Spiritual Domain vanish. According to him, Qilin Venerable, for so unknown reason, changed their mind."
Su Youzhu paused for a mont. "They forcibly restrained their destructive urge."
Gu Jianlin contemplated for a mont. Based on the tiline, Qilin Venerable was still setting up the ga back then.
And by the ti he acquired the Qilin Mask, that Supre being had already vanished.
Now, all the enigmas pointed back to that epic battle over two thousand years ago.
Why had Qilin Venerable orchestrated such a plan?
"Then what exactly is this cave? Why, when we're already in the Ancient God Realm, must we enter another dinsional space? And why is the Qilin Wedge here?"
Gu Jianlin frowned as he asked.
"To be honest, the so-called Wedge is the core of a world condensed after an Ancient Supre devours it. Every Ancient Supre possesses the power to destroy or create an entire planet. The Wedge is born from them, and no one can take it away. Even if the Supre sleeps, the Wedge will not leave the Ancient God Realm."
Su Youzhu thought for a mont. "Do you think it's possible that soone hid the Wedge here?"
Gu Jianlin was startled.
Who would hide the fragnts of the Wedge here?
And also possess the ability to manipulate ti and space.
He directed his gaze toward the scarlet patterns in the cave, narrowing his eyes: "Candle Dragon Venerable?"
Su Youzhu agreed with his conjecture. "It's possible that this space was created by Candle Dragon Venerable."
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a mont before reaching out to touch the scarlet patterns.
Cold and rough.
The mont he touched them, countless violent, crisscrossing fissures seed to flash before his eyes.
At the sa ti, the Black Qilin in his mind opened its golden vertical pupils slightly.
Gu Jianlin felt his brain igniting.
He utilized the spirit of the Ancient God, delving into a profound profile!
Bang!
In that instant, fragnted, chaotic images surged in his mind.
Waves crashing against the sky.
Black clouds burning with fiery-red molten lava.
The dark Sky Do seed to be torn in two.
The ocean floor split apart, with a trench so deep it resembled an abyss.
A man wearing the Black Jade Qilin Mask plunged into the abyss, a sinister and eerie smile on his face.
A slender black Iron Sword, resembling a scepter, was torn apart by countless intersecting fissures.
Shattered to pieces!
Thunderous dragon roars reverberated across the heavens and earth.
A breathtakingly elegant woman hovered above the clouds, gazing indifferently downward.
At that mont, a blazing Fire Qilin soared into the sky, forcibly consuming the shattered fragnts of the Iron Sword!
Crash!
The stunning woman cast a glance, and the heavens crumbled.
The dinsion where the Fire Qilin resided shattered like a mirror!
Burning blood rained down like a torrential storm!
Crash!
In just a brief mont, Gu Jianlin was drenched in cold sweat, his face deathly pale.
