The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1025 - 482: Secret (2)

"It’s not exactly that big. At first, I needed Extreme Thunder to help me stabilize the Third Law. Later, when I ascended the Stairway to Immortality, I had no such concerns. Extreme Thunder is just a handy weapon for me. Losing it would reduce my combat strength by about thirty percent." Tang Ling propped her chin with her hand, a bit embarrassed as she recounted the past.

"We definitely need to find a way to solve this."

Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and suddenly said, "You should also merge with a Holy Corpse."

Tang Ling raised her bright eyes.

She had long desired the Primordial Return.

"I happen to have a Holy Corpse that you can use."

Gu Jianlin said calmly, "As for the Heavenly Personification, do you have any clues?"

At present, his practice on the two Supreme Laws, Candle Light and You Ying, was evidently imbalanced.

The You Ying Law had already grasped the Evolutionary State and the Primordial Return.

His senior brother had even left him an extremely strange memory.

To this day, he had not been able to understand it, but it was likely a new domain of the You Ying Law.

As for the Candle Light Law, he only had the most basic Heavenly Person Realm.

Tang Ling shook her head and said, "No, the President didn’t have time to teach me."

Gu Jianlin didn’t expect to get an answer from her: "Then the secret of Heavenly Personification is likely hidden at the Deep Space Headquarters, which is in the Magic City. We can’t stay in Peak City anymore. We need to extend the battle line outward until we reach the Central Spirit Core Institute. We both possess the Third Law, and neither the Candle Light Law nor the You Ying Law can be neglected."

"Then we can figure out how to modify Extreme Thunder or help you find a new Mythical Weapon."

He casually asked, "I heard that the Pseudo Ancestors of the Bai Ze Clan had another incident?"

Tang Ling’s eyes grew heavy when this topic was mentioned: "Yes, Director Chen was originally going to handle the Pseudo Ancestor in this city, but found that they had all vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared."

Logically, after the sealing of Lu Shu’s Ancestor, the Pseudo Ancestors of the Bai Ze Clan should have stopped acting.

"That clone."

Gu Jianlin said with certainty, "Only it can do such a thing, but I don’t know what it ultimately wants."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone gently vibrated.

Tang Ling glanced over, and the screen unmistakably displayed a text message.

Gu Jianlin picked up the phone, discovering there was no sender’s number, only a brief message.

"Why have you evolved so perfectly?"

Seeing the text message, Tang Ling raised her bright eyes and looked at the young man.

"I see."

Gu Jianlin toyed with his phone, suddenly enlightened: "Its Third Law has a problem!"

This was evidently a probe or plea for help from that clone.

His senior brother’s theory had been confirmed.

The Third Law researched by the Bai Ze Clan was flawed, for a perfect Spirit Coffin like Thunder was already reaching its limits.

They had only grasped the human side of the Evolution Path, but had deviated on the Ancient God side of the Evolution Path.

"What do you plan to do?"

Tang Ling asked curiously, intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment: "I don’t know either. I can’t even comprehend why someone practicing the Third Law would encounter problems. Anyway, I find it quite enjoyable to use, besides the increased consumption and backlash, there’s no other side effect."

He said this without any boastful tone, simply stating a fact.

Just like he couldn’t understand why Ascenders on the Magician path were so weak.

Including Judge Bai back then, who clearly in a life-and-death fight only used the Instant Teleportation Technique and Paper Card Knife against him.

Tang Ling glanced at him wistfully: "Are you even speaking human language?"

Back then, she went through life-and-death trials to merge with the Third Law.

But after meeting Gu Jianlin, everything became so smooth and easy.

Even to learn secrets of the level of the Third Law’s profound meanings, all it took was a roll in the sheets with him.

Setting aside a girl’s modesty, it really was worth it.

"Let me think about it."

Gu Jianlin touched his chin, falling into contemplation.

The villa in the suburbs was filled with the strong stench of blood, sunlight pierced through the gaps of the drapes onto the blood-soaked floor, the scarlet blood traces sketched a bizarre and menacing matrix, candles made of some kind of oil burned in the dark, and living mercury wriggled along the array patterns, entwining the corpse used as a sacrifice.

It was a coffin built of white bones, the jade-like corpse within it burned, exuding a void-like mist.

A man knelt in the darkness, convulsing in an epileptic fit, consuming the spreading mist.

He clutched his head in extreme agony, the deep blue in his eyes flickering as if about to extinguish.

"It’s not enough."

He croaked: "Far from enough. No matter how many of these crudely made Pseudo Ancestors are sacrificed, it’s like drinking poison to quench thirst, the most critical problem must be solved. What am I lacking? A Heavenly Person Seed, or Ancient Holy Relics. No, these are not the key, the initial method must be flawed."

He spat out a mouthful of blood in pain and curled up on the ground.

Only by continually consuming the void mist could his agony be alleviated.

As the corpse burned out, it instantly turned into a lifeless skeleton, devoid of any vitality.

"Why is he able to, why is he able to evolve so perfectly."

The man forced himself to his feet, the deep blue in his eyes trailing thick, nauseating blood, roaring in agony: "What am I missing compared to him, what he can do I can also do, but why must I endure this!"

Though a cry of pain, it sounded like a monster’s roar.

In the flickering deep blue eyes, it seemed as though an Ancient beast were about to break free from its cage.

"Skylark can, Qilin can, why can’t I!"

The man’s hands dug into the floor, leaving horrifying scratches: "I was supposed to be the third..."

He didn’t know how long it took before he regained composure again, suppressing the backlash within his body.

The man, entirely naked, stood up and went into the adjacent bathroom, turning on the shower to clean himself.

The mist spread out, faintly reflecting a handsome yet weathered face on the transparent glass.

It was the face of Gu Ci’an.

After hesitating for a long time, the man took a deep breath, took out a phone from a waterproof bag, and relying on his memory and the knowledge he had acquired recently, sent out a message.

The crows outside the villa flapped their wings and took off.

This villa located in the outskirts had become a deathly silent place, with the once tranquil garden now strewn with frightful bones, piling up nearly into a small hill, with countless ants crawling all over.

The vehicles roared past on the long street, with no one noticing the anomaly within the villa area.

Magic City, Central Spirit Core Institute.

Platinum sat in the dim office, his messy white hair seemingly untended for a long time, and his bloodshot eyes lifted, hoarsely saying: "I’ve heard that Qing and Chi have arrived?"

Rhein, dressed in a white suit, sat across from him, expressionless, "The latest news is that Qing and Chi arrived in the Magic City, on Peak Sky International flight MH214, at 1:40 this afternoon."

He inquired, "I’ve already sent people to intercept them."

Platinum was silent for a moment, licking his dry lips: "It might not be possible to stop them."

"According to Taixu’s analysis, Qing and Chi indeed possess the Third Law, but it’s only temporary."

Rhein crossed his arms, calmly analyzing: "As long as we can delay time, it’s beneficial for us. Thirty days, if we can drag it out, no matter how powerful Qing and Chi are, they will self-destruct."

"The problem is how to last thirty days; those are Qing and Chi, my two senior brothers. You have not experienced that era, you can’t imagine how terrifying these two people are. With the strength of Gold and Silver, they would at most last three days before being defeated. As for me, I can’t even master the Candle Light Law!"

Platinum exhaled a breath of turbid air, hoarsely saying: "You’re my only hope, child."

Rhein hummed softly: "I understand."

"Then, answer me now."

Platinum raised his eyes, coldly saying: "Are you willing to merge with the Third Law?"

Rhein was momentarily stunned.
