The top floor of the Deep Space Building.
Lu Zijin was sitting on a comfortable office chair, lazily holding his snowy cheeks and playing with a ballpoint pen with his long, white green fingers.
In the holographic stereoscopic projection opposite, a figure wearing white training clothes condensed.
This is a middle-aged man, with hair as white as snow, a serious and deep face, as calm as a lion.
"Zi Jin."
He said seriously: "I have already read the information you sent me."
Lu Zijin narrowed his beautiful eyes: "Senior Brother Chen, do you think there is any problem?"
Minister Chen was silent for a moment and said: "Gu Cian's son... Gu Jianlin, right? A very good young man. He can kill the clown almost independently. He has proven that he is more capable than his father when he was young." Potential. From my personal subjective point of view, I am more inclined to keep him and don’t want to see him squeezed out.”
"But the problem is that the report you compiled has no evidence."
He said lightly: "Although I also feel that the investigation process related to the Blood Moon Massacre is too fast, so fast that it makes people feel a little weird, even those of us at the ministerial level cannot have access to it."
Lu Zijin licked his red lips: "Then doesn't this explain the problem?"
"No, at least according to the rules, we can't challenge it."
Minister Chen responded: "Because it was that person who investigated the Blood Moon Massacre, a recognized hero."
Lu Zijin was silent.
That person is indeed a recognized hero, and even ministers like them cannot shake his authority.
"Where's the chief?"
She asked, "What does he think?"
"His old man has gone into seclusion, and I have not been able to get his instructions. The last instruction he left was to solve all the problems in Fengcheng before the Qilin Immortal Palace is opened. Nothing else is important."
Minister Chen pondered for a second: "As for the Tribunal, too many people have died at the hands of Gu Cian'an. It is inevitable that they will criticize Gu Cian's son. As a minister, it is more than enough for you to protect him. .As for his resource problem, try to transfer some from other branches to ensure that he receives fair treatment."
Lu Zijin curled his lips: "Is that all?"
"only these."
Minister Chen took a deep look at her: "I know that Gu Cian is very close to your Lu family, but the potential that Gu Jianlin has shown so far, although excellent, is not enough. At least, you have to let him show his potential. Enough value is not limited to one jurisdiction. It is to enter the headquarters' sight and have enough backers to compete with the Tribunal."
He emphasized: "The Immortal Palace Project is a very good opportunity."
Lu Zijin rubbed his eyebrows: "I understand."
Communication is interrupted.
She stood up, faced the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and was silent for a long time.
In fact, the biggest support is not to enter the headquarters.
It was the natural disaster-level sublimated person who had arrived in Peak City.
The King of Blue.

In the burning copper cauldron, the flame went out.
As the scarlet light split apart, a thick mass of blood floated up, surging and twisting like a living creature. Countless blood-colored bubbles appeared and died, releasing a rich fishy-sweet smell.
The pharmacist looked at this scene with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes: "It's done! It's done! This is the blood of the ancient gods, a precious resource that all alchemists dream of, comparable to the Philosopher's Stone in alchemy, we finally refined it It’s done!”
The scholar sniffed this charming scent and sighed: "This is so damn sweet."
"This is the authority of the ancient gods. Their spirits are fatal pollution to human beings and an opportunity for evolution. Their language is fatal destruction to human beings. The blood they create is fatal to human beings. , and it is a supreme gift that empowers human beings to evolve and break the shackles of life."
The pharmacist closed his eyes and prayed, put his hands on his chest, and said piously: "They are a race born from the depths of the universe, using the energy of the entire planet as a hotbed of life. If they had not experienced that devastating disaster... I am afraid that today's Human beings are also domestic animals in captivity, enslaved by the gods and become their nourishment.”
"But now, it's the time of mankind."
The scholar suddenly thought of something: "Teacher, if we take the blood of the ancient gods, then the next time we enter the Qilin Immortal Palace, won't that supreme being able to take advantage of us at any time?"
The pharmacist looked at him with a retarded look and sighed: "You sound like if we don't take the blood of the ancient gods, the Supreme Being won't be able to kill us. You have to remember that we are not that kind of person. As Ascended Ones who are powerful enough to fight against the ancient gods, our advantage has never been in strength.”
"Even if He is a god and we are ants, so what? He has been imprisoned by a more powerful ancient god for thousands of years, without any way to contact the outside world, and his spirituality has been dry for thousands of years."
He smiled and said: "The Qilin Immortal Palace is about to open, and he can't wait to escape, but before that he needs to replenish a lot of spirituality, otherwise he will not be able to fight against the entire human world."
Shu Weng suddenly realized and said: "So in Qilin Immortal Palace, he will not kill us. In fact, we are just maintaining harmony on the surface, but in fact we all know it well."
"Yes, His Holiness knows it, and we also know it. We are just using each other."
The pharmacist said lightly: "The "Ancient Hearings" once recorded that someone once sacrificed his life and soul to an ancient god in order to obtain eternal evolution, and thus became a god's attendant and was enslaved forever. But when that ancient god After sleeping in that lost world, he never received any orders for the next two hundred years..."
The book man said: "He is free! Because the ancient god is sleeping in another world!"
"Yes, everything is under control."
The pharmacist said: "As long as we can survive the baptism of the blood of the ancient gods instead of exploding and dying in the middle, then we will completely get rid of the shadow of death and embark on the glorious road of...evolution!"
In the copper cauldron, the thick blood cooled down and surged silently.
"Complete the evolution as soon as possible. The Siren sent a message fifteen minutes ago. This black market has been targeted by the Ether Association. It will be fully understood soon." The pharmacist said.
"Now that we have completed evolution, what are we still afraid of?"
The scholar looked very disdainful.
"Stupid! Never underestimate the association! The water behind the association is much deeper than imagined."
The pharmacist gave stern advice: "Being blindly arrogant as soon as you gain strength is a taboo! What we have to do is to retreat and avoid the sharp edge of the Ether Association. At this time, we must not cause trouble, understand?"
The scholar whispered: "I understand, teacher."
However, he looked at the bright red blood and swallowed, his eyes obsessed.
It was as if he didn't listen to the teacher's words at all, but was fascinated by the power so close at hand.

For a moment, Gu Jianlin seemed to hear the noise of the whole world.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. The main reason is that his life perception covers almost the entire Deep Space Technology Building, and there are too many people in this building, so many that he can't even count them.
Imagine you are in an enclosed space and thousands of speakers are playing different music at the same time.
Or standing on a noisy and crowded street, countless whispers echoing in your ears.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an ascendant and his spirit and will were different from ordinary people, he might have fainted on the spot.
"What the hell is going on?"
Gu Jianlin remembered clearly that the life sensing range of a first-level commander was twenty-five meters.
And he was able to cover the entire building.
This is obviously not an error in the Ether Association's information, but his problem.
"Perhaps it's because of Lord Qilin! I gained the power of Lord Qilin, and it's not just as simple as a dual-core driver. The instinct of Qilin led me to choose the path of a god. Maybe there is a reason."
Gu Jianlin secretly thought of a possibility: "In addition to the ancient deification, can I also benefit from the advancement of the divine path when I am affected by the power of Lord Qilin in my human state?"
At this time, he suddenly felt that two powerful melodies appeared in his life perception.
Not in this building, but far away.
It was a familiar rhythm of life, as rough, powerful and deep as the roar of a wild beast.
Gu Jianlin was stunned and immediately turned his head to look into the distance, because he suddenly realized that this rhythm of life was exactly the same as the ancient god's blood that he had sent out.
etc!
He suddenly understood.
Among the five people in the ancient tomb, someone took the blood of the ancient god!
"The blood of the ancient gods was created by me when I was in the state of ancient deification, and the function of this drop of blood is to help them complete their true evolution. This seems to be what they call...the servant of the gods!"
Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment, and probably figured out the key, and murmured in his heart: "The ancient gods use the blood of the ancient gods to help people complete their evolution, allowing them to become divine servants and guardians under the gods."
Currently, two of those five people have taken the blood of the ancient gods.
Gu Jianlin felt it directly from a long distance away.
Interestingly, although this distance is a bit far, it is still in Fengcheng.
"I didn't expect you to be so close to me."
Gu Jianlin's eyes flickered, this matter was getting more and more interesting.
At the same time, Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing's mobile phones rang with notifications from the Deep Space Network.
"Collective hunting operation - Asgard Plan, officially launched!"
"Captains and vice-captains please go to the central control room to receive mission information."
Gu Jianlin's mobile phone also repeatedly broadcast Taixu's notification.
"Hello, respected D-class investigator Gu Jianlin, your team has participated in this large-scale hunting mission. Please bring your equipment and supplies and assemble in the front hall of the Deep Space Technology Building immediately."
Lu Zicheng stood up and patted his shoulder: "I'm leaving first, can you do it?"
Chen Qing also picked up her handbag and gave him a concerned look.
Gu Jianlin said calmly: "Don't worry, it's no problem."

The front hall is a spacious conference hall, which is probably used for meetings.
There were scattered investigators sitting on the seats, fifteen people in total.
There is no captain, just team members.
Except for the captain and deputy captain, each team is basically composed of three people.
"I heard that this mission is to cleanse the entire Peak City of degenerates."
"The association rarely initiates such a big battle. It must be because the Qilin Immortal Palace is about to open, right?"
"Yes, my father told me that I must behave well this time. Last time, I made a big fool of myself during the clown hunting mission. I was scolded when I got home, and I was almost grounded at home."
"What do you think this is? When I just got up from the hospital bed, my grandfather gave me two big bags."
The investigators whispered.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say there are seven teams in total? Why are there only fifteen people?"
"Have you forgotten? Thunder has always been on her own, without a captain or vice-captain, or teammates. She is the strongest in the third level, even comparable to the fourth level, so she supports a small team by herself. "
"Then this number is wrong. Isn't there another person?"
When it comes to this topic, everyone who was involved in the clown incident fell silent.
Cheng Youyu was a little embarrassed when he mentioned this and scratched his head.
Nie Xiangsi looked around, but never found the figure she wanted to see.
At this time, the door of the conference hall was pushed open.
I saw a black-haired boy walking in expressionlessly. He was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his arms. He was wearing gray slim-fitting trousers without any decorations on his body.
As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became different.
"Here, it's him, D-class investigator Gu Jianlin."
"Wait a minute, is this the one who was used as bait to kill the clown alone while all of you were lying dead?"
"That's right, it's him..."
