In the illusory dark world, Gu Jianlin came to the ancient huge stone altar again.
The dark clouds were rolling over the vast sky, as deep and oppressive as the tidal ocean. Along with the roar of the wind, a bottomless whirlpool storm was brewing. The mid-air was full of flying sand and rocks, and floating ash.
The endless wilderness is full of dry cracks, desolate and lonely.
Countless ghosts wander the wilderness.
Some are as huge as giants, some are the size of ordinary people, and some are as small as ants.
There is only a staircase to nothingness that reaches the sky, sinking into the deepest part of the clouds, as if it reaches directly to the sky.
Gu Jianlin stood on the huge stone altar, wearing white sacrificial clothes and covered with dark mantras.
Moreover, he is still in the state of ancient deity, with a dark unicorn mask, burning golden vertical pupils, and dragon scales all over his body.
Between his brows, the pale fire of divine sacrifice burned.
"This is the place where I became a god. I don't know what kind of space it is, but the only thing that is certain is that it is inextricably related to the path of a god."
Gu Jianlin looked around, but he was very calm. After all, it was not his first time here.
Those ghosts wandering in the wilderness should be the ascendants of other divine priests.
The size of the body is mostly related to their rank.
All the priests are on this path together, seeking the way to heaven.
Wait, that’s not right either.
Gu Jianlin remembered the giant thing he saw when he came to this world last time.
The man was walking at the end of the Stairway to the Sky, his back as high as the sky, blocking all light.
The reason it's night here is because that giant thing blocks all light.
"How strong does it have to be to be so huge? Is it the strongest in the path of God?"
Gu Jianlin couldn't see the giant thing in the sky, but he could vaguely feel the majestic presence.
Darkness is everywhere.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds, and did not continue to look up to the sky. Instead, he silently felt the changes in himself, until the spirituality in his body once again broke through the shackles, and the roar of his soul sounded deep in his mind.
It’s time to advance!
In front of him, flame-like pale light lit up, converging into a staircase of nothingness.
In the real world, it should be possible without the confinement of Lord Zhulong.
He took a deep breath and tried to step onto the stairs.
There was a bang.
At that moment, Gu Jianlin's spiritual consciousness seemed to soar into the sky, and the fire of divine sacrifice on his forehead suddenly surged.
His ears rang with deep murmurs that seemed to come from ancient times, hiding the mysteries of the universe.
Those ancient and taboo knowledge belonging to the ancient gods poured into his mind like a tide!
Success!
At this moment, he completed his first advancement as an ascendant.
——From now on, he is the first level, commander.

When Gu Jianlin woke up again, it was already dawn.
After completing his promotion, his mental state was not so sluggish. Although his spiritual recovery was still very slow and the feeling of tearing all over his body was still there, at least it did not affect his movements and he did not have to continue to lie on the bed.
"woke up?"
Lu Zicheng's voice sounded next to him, sounding very tired.
Gu Jianlin turned his head and was surprised.
Lu Zicheng was seen sitting at the table, holding a cup of hot coffee.
Chen Qing was still wearing a suit and skirt, standing behind like a secretary, carrying two bags of breakfast.
The parrot, gagged for some reason, stood on her shoulder.
The reason why Gu Jianlin was surprised was not because he didn't notice their presence.
It was because of Lu Zicheng's state. The majestic fourth-level mad king seemed to have been squeezed dry for some reason. His face looked dry and he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes. His mental state was very problematic.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Jianlin stood up and hesitated for a second: "How about I get up and you lie down?"
For some reason, Lu Zicheng always looked at him with a hint of resentment in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a nightmare last night. I'm on the ancient martial arts path, so I don't need it at all."
Chen Qing glanced at him with a cold expression on his face.
Seeing his kidney-deficient look, Gu Jianlin always felt that this statement was open to question.
"I told you, I'm fine!"
Lu Zicheng said with a straight face: "You don't have to worry about it!"
Chen Qing glanced at him again.
Gu Jianlin felt even more weird: "I didn't, why are you anxious?"
"Who's in a hurry?"
Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that Lin Wanqiu came to see you yesterday?"
Gu Jianlin hummed.
Lu Zicheng yawned and nodded slightly: "Judging from the reaction of the trial court, Lin Wanqiu didn't find anything. Maybe there will be several mental tests on you later, but you should be fine. If I didn't If you guessed wrong, did she try to let you join her team last night?"
Gu Jianlin did not deny it: "Yes, and she told me that if I can't use those two mythical weapons, she can apply to her superiors and use these two mythical weapons to exchange for corresponding resources."
"Why not go?"
Lu Zicheng rarely said seriously: "You have to know that in the world of sublimators, the most scarce resource for alchemists is, followed by priests. Lin Wanqiu must have told you that for sublimators, the most important resources are resources and Logistics. The captain of their team is a fourth-level Holy Mother, and the vice-captain is a second-level pharmacist."
"This combination itself means resources, because as long as someone asks them to do something, they have to give money. There are some things that money can't do, so resources have to be provided. For example, more cost-effective alchemy weapons, promotion materials .”
He smiled: "Join their team, and you won't have to worry about your promotion before the super-dimensional level."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Is it that important?"
Lu Zicheng shrugged: "You can connect to the Deep Space Network and read the forum."
Gu Jianlin took out his phone and connected to the deep space network interface.
Now that his authority has been upgraded, in addition to personal information and general knowledge inquiries, as well as the resource exchange library, the official forum affiliated with the Fengcheng branch has also been opened to him.
He clicked on the forum. Countless posts suddenly filled the screen, with all kinds of popular titles.
"Hiring a first-level herbal expert with a lot of money for three days, with a daily salary of 50,000!"
"C-level hunting mission, we are in urgent need of a second-level nun, who can enjoy half of the mission reward."
"In resource exchange, we urgently need a Sword Sect path and second-level promotion materials. We have sufficient budget. If you are the one, don't disturb us."
"Team recruitment, requirements, path to priest or alchemist..."
When Gu Jianlin saw these posts, he seemed to be seeing the announcement screen of an online game.
Countless posts.
Either there is a lack of wet nurses in the team, or they are stuck at the promotion point and are looking for secret medicine or materials.
Among them, the number of people seeking spiritual secret medicine is the largest.
"Did you see it?"
Lu Zicheng said calmly: "This is the importance of alchemists and priests. If there are no priests in the team, casualties will easily occur. The alchemists determine your promotion speed."
Gu Jianlin browsed the forum and nodded: "The most common posts are about hiring alchemists. If there is an alchemist behind an ascendant, his promotion speed will definitely be much faster than others."
From the forum, so many sublime people are eager for the spiritual secret medicine, which can be seen the importance of the alchemist.
However, he suddenly thought that the mentor in the ancient tomb was a fourth-level alchemist.
And it can also refine extraordinary spiritual secret medicine.
In this way, there is already a resource guru behind Gu Jianlin!
"Yes, that's the truth."
Lu Zicheng smiled and said: "Level 0 requires the least resources, and when you advance to level 1, the spiritual secret medicine required is geometrically multiple. Not only is it more, but it also requires promotion materials. Lin Wanqiu's team is The Fengcheng branch has the best resources, especially the alchemist in their team. Since the spiritual secret medicine No. CMJ113 went out of print, the spiritual secret medicine he refined can be regarded as one of the best quality products."
He paused: "Don't think that the path of alchemist is that simple. Many people have lost control of their minds and become degenerates because of taking inferior spiritual secret medicine."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time. Now that he heard the word "fallen", he felt inexplicably unhappy.
"And Lin Wanqiu is also a beauty."
Lu Zicheng said lazily: "You really missed the rich woman. I am the captain who has just joined the job. I don't have many interpersonal relationships in Fengcheng. I only have an unreliable sister. And our Lu family only has Gu Wu and Tian The family on the master path hired an alchemist, but he was only good at refining super-dimensional spiritual secret medicine."
Gu Jianlin shook his head: "It's okay, Sister Chen Qing is also a beauty."
This was one of the rare times when he was humorous.
Chen Qing had always had an expressionless face, but after hearing these words, his eyebrows softened silently.
She put the breakfast bag on the table and said calmly: "I had breakfast first. I bought soy milk, fried dough sticks and tea eggs."
Gu Jianlin said politely: "Thank you."
"You kid can talk."
Lu Zicheng sighed: "Actually, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to be the captain."
In fact, both Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing knew that even if he completed the assessment task, as a descendant of the Fallen, it would be difficult for this child to survive in the Ether Association, and he would definitely be ostracized in various ways.
The clown incident is just the beginning.
Although Lin Wanqiu offered such generous terms, her purpose was also obvious.
Armed with myth.
If Gu Jianlin didn't hand over the Shinhwa weapons, he would definitely not get those benefits.
And once he hands over the mythical weapons, he will be useless.
Although independent sublimators are rare, he is not the only one.
And he is the son of a fallen person. The better the talent, the more dangerous he is.
"By the way, I have something important to say."
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Jian decided to tell his guess.
Because, if there really is something ghost in the fairy palace that sneaks into the human world, it would be too dangerous.
If left alone, God knows how many people would be implicated.
"About the Joker?"
Lu Zicheng asked, narrowing his eyes.
Gu Jianlin hummed: "I got two mythical weapons from him, one of them..."
"Stop it."
Lu Zicheng said calmly: "You don't need to tell me what the effect of your mythical weapon is. It belongs to you, your secret. Remember, whether it is the alchemy weapon or the mythical weapon you carry, it depends on the conditions. Don’t tell anyone if you’re allowed to. The deeper you hide, the safer you are.”
Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds and nodded slightly.
"I got some information from the clown."
He concealed the matter of Qilin Immortal Palace and said directly: "From his confession, it seems that the person who caused the Blood Moon Massacre was not my father, but someone else."
Hearing this, Lu Zicheng frowned.
Chen Qing pursed her red lips and said softly: "But in that incident, there are surveillance videos, palm prints, fingerprints, DNA comparisons, blood tests and many other evidences. There are also high-level psychics who were at the scene in person to restore what happened. .”
In other words, it is irrefutable evidence.
"I know."
Gu Jianlin said word by word: "But in this extraordinary world, is it possible to have some kind of ability that can completely imitate, or copy, a person and replace him?"
Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing were slightly stunned.
"At the time of the Blood Moon Massacre, my father was probably trapped in the Qilin Immortal Palace."
Gu Jianlin said in a deep voice: "I want to know if there are any witnesses to the Blood Moon Massacre? Who investigated this incident? Who witnessed the investigation process? Are these public announcements?"
After being silent for a long time, Lu Zicheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, when I came from abroad, everything was over. The Blood Moon Massacre incident has been classified and sealed as the highest confidentiality. We can see Yes, there are only those evidences pointing to Professor Gu. But the accident scene has been cleared."
Gu Jianlin was stunned, why should the accident scene be cleared in such a hurry!
"I will report the matter you mentioned to my sister, but as she is essentially responsible for the security of the Fengcheng area and command during wartime, she actually does not have much power."
Lu Zicheng pondered for a moment: "Besides, you have no evidence."
Gu Jianlin was silent. This was indeed the most critical question.
The Joker's soul is shattered.
"But speaking of witnesses at the time, I think there may be some others."
Lu Zicheng said.
Gu Jianlin raised his eyebrows: "The clown's accomplice?"
"Yes, as long as we find the clown's accomplices, we might get some clues."
Lu Zicheng said with a smile.
"That's right."
Chen Qing took out his tablet, clicked twice, and called up part of the information: "There should be someone else behind the clown's backstage, and his accomplices are also on the loose. In the Fengcheng jurisdiction, a hunting reward has been issued. As long as you can Finding the clown's accomplices will most likely prove your conclusion just now."
Gu Jianlin was stunned for a moment.
"etc."
He was a little stunned: "Do you believe me?"
Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing looked at each other.
"Don't you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Gu Jianlin asked tentatively: "Don't you think I'm joking?"
Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Why do I think you are joking? Isn't it normal for a son to want to clear his father's grievances? What's more, you are Professor Gu's son. If you don’t believe me, who do you believe?”
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Do we have to believe in the Tribunal?"
