The ward late at night.
Gu Jianlin still showed no signs of waking up, and all the medical staff from the association failed to come in.
Tang Ling still held the iron sword and leaned on the sofa, about to fall asleep.
Tuk Tuk.
Chen Bojun knocked on the door: "Excuse me, can I come in?"
Tang Ling raised her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes caught the light and cast a shadow on her plain white face.
"You're here."
She stood up from the sofa and nodded slightly.
It's a sign of respect.
"Well, it's really good. I didn't expect that after using Ji Lei, I could recover so quickly and my injuries were healed? If nothing happens, I will be able to advance to the fourth level in another week, right?"
Chen Bojun showed admiration in his eyes and praised: "Very good. Since you are the successor of Jianzhong, you will naturally be proud of you. I shouldn't need to say more. Twenty years old, fourth level. You have great hopes. If you can, I still hope you can win the title of the strongest Omega sequence of this generation."
Tang Ling hummed and tightened the iron sword in the piano case: "Then I'll leave."
Chen Bojun looked at the unconscious young man on the hospital bed and smiled: "Actually, I thought you had left long ago. I didn't expect you to stay here for such a long time and not let others in."
Tang Ling was silent for a second and said calmly: "I just owe him a favor."
"As for the people in the Tribunal, I don't trust them."
She suddenly said: "What happened tonight has made me even more disappointed with the association."
Chen Bojun hummed: "Actually, who is not? Since Guangming's death, everything has become different."
"I understand, I just hope you can make a difference, at least change something."
Tang Ling picked up the piano case and turned around to leave: "By the way, help me tell him that I owe him a favor and I'll pay it back."
As the door to the room was gently closed, silence spread like water.
Chen Bojun thought for a while and smiled: "This little girl is quite interesting. Is she the secret weapon of Jianzhong?"
He came to the hospital bed and looked at the unconscious young man with deep emotion.
"In a sense, this is our first face-to-face meeting. You and your father look very similar, but their personalities are so different. Your father is a good old man. I have known him for more than 20 years. I haven't seen him show any aggression in years. I thought that if he gave birth to a son, he would probably just let him."
Chen Bojun sighed and muttered: "I never expected that you look like a good boy, but when you go crazy, you turn out to be like a madman. You really followed the wishes of Mr. Huai, haha."
He took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to the young man's lips.
"This is dragon marrow liquid. Every drop is a good thing. Ten years ago, Jing Ci snatched it from the ancient god attendant in Buzhou Mountain and almost angered that supreme being."
Although it was dragon marrow liquid, it was like a drop of pure scarlet blood, slowly flowing into the young man's mouth.

Gu Jianlin had a dream.
In his dream, he saw the port of Black Cloud City Walled City, fires burning all over the place, and people crying.
In the burning flame.
Wan Wan was kicked to the ground. Uncle Mu roared and wanted to hug him, but was trapped by the chains.
The firelight illuminated the poor father and daughter.
The few meters away seemed like an abyss of despair.
Gu Jianlin just watched, but he felt the sadness and anger firsthand. The storm deep in his heart roared down again, rolling back and pushing him into the abyss of memory, and the past surged forward.
At that moment, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night again. A huge truck roared from the opposite road. What was shocking was that there was no one in the cab, and the speed of the truck was getting faster and faster.
Behind that truck was overwhelming fog.
There is a ferocious ghost figure in the mist. It is a strange bird with nine heads.
Nine heads danced wildly in the depths of the mist, and nine strange faces emerged.
Gu Jianlin heard the familiar call and the warmth from that generous embrace.
With the roar of the truck, the boy's world was shattered again.
pain.
My whole body ached, the pain reached deep into my soul.
The dream suddenly collapsed, and Gu Jianlin opened his eyes, feeling lost.
"woke up?"
Chen Bojun's voice rang from his ears.
Gu Jianlin found himself lying in a luxurious intensive care unit, surrounded by precision instruments he had never seen before. His body was connected to various cables, and IVs were hung from both hands.
There was tearing pain all over his body, as if his whole body was shattered, and the pain was so sore.
This time the burden of ancient deification was too great for him.
Especially the use of ancient divine language.
Now he finally understood that the results of his father's investigation were correct. The power of the ancient gods was rejected in the real world. Once used forcibly, it would cause a huge physical burden.
Maybe, in the middle of the fight, the enemy is not killed, and he collapses first.
It is said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Although the description is not so appropriate, it does mean this.
No wonder, facing the overwhelming power of the ancient gods, humans have always been able to stick to the real world.
Otherwise, humans would probably have nothing to play with.
"I really don't understand why you young people are so desperate."
Chen Bojun sat next to him and said, "But sometimes I envy you for your passion."
Gu Jianlin tilted his head slightly and glanced at the man.
A familiar, ordinary face.
Chen Bojun, the person in charge of Overlord Path, Seventh Level Annihilation, and Omega Sequence.
"How are Uncle Mu and Wanwan doing?"
Gu Jianlin asked softly.
Chen Bojun calmly replied: "Mu Feng is out of danger, but his physical condition is not very good. In addition, because he has been taking Tiancao all year round, he doesn't know how long he can live. Wan Wan was only slapped, which was a bit minor. Concussion, nothing serious. The devil pendant your father left for her suppressed her distortion."
Gu Jianlin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Some people in the shelter are already dead."
A trace of sadness flashed in Chen Bojun's eyes, and he whispered: "Although Mu Feng survived, it does not mean that he is fine. Whether it is his physical condition or his original fall and murder of his companions, the trial court We will never give up, there is a power game here."
He paused: "The only clean person here is Mu Feng's daughter Wanwan. Although she was also polluted, she had the devil pendant your father found for her, which successfully suppressed the spread and distortion of pollution. So you When I saw her, she was just like a normal person, very healthy, and she didn’t take Tianshengcao.”
Gu Jianlin thought for a while: "That purple crystal pendant?"
Chen Bojun answered: "Yes, don't think it's just a small thing. It was also snatched by your father from an ancient god. The so-called ancient gods are ancient gods below the ancestor level. The devil pendant is the dream of many fallen people. You can’t buy these things even if you have money, they are things with a price but no market.”
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second. No wonder Uncle Mu warned him not to rely too much on life perception.
Extraordinary abilities are indeed not omnipotent.
The little girl had not been in contact with him for long, but she did see some problems from his personality portrait.
Either she is a degenerate, or she considers herself a degenerate deep down.
"It's just that the devil pendant will expire in three years. From now on, she will either take natural grass or transform into a monster. And she currently has no criminal record, so I can help protect her."
Chen Bojun said in a deep voice: "But there is a problem here. The reason why Mu Feng and the others are alive now is because of the protection and guarantee of Qing Wang Huaiyin. However, once the trial court comes up with the exact information about Mu Feng's crime If there is evidence, then even Huaiyin, the King of Blue, will no longer protect him."
His expression became serious and he said, "Similarly, I can't either."
When Gu Jianlin heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
Uncle Mu's condition is amnesia. He cannot remember what happened when he fell.
All he knew was that the association had condemned him for killing his companions and defined him as a degenerate.
It was only because many people didn't believe that he had done such a thing that they helped him hide.
Uncle Mu himself also took Tianshengcao and suppressed the distortion.
"Maybe you don't know what the specific definition of a fallen person is, I can tell you."
Chen Bojun stared at the young man's face and said: "The so-called corruption means being polluted by the spirit of the ancient gods. The dark side deep in the heart is inspired and swallows up human nature. Such as those you have fought with, Li Changzhi, John Berger, Hasegawa Shinichi and the members of the Gravedigger organization, do you think they have any humanity?"
Gu Jianlin shook his head: "No."
"If Mu Feng really killed his companions, then he would be the same as these people. If the distortion is not serious, taking a large amount of natural grass can indeed restore some sanity."
Chen Bojun emphasized: "But this cannot wash away his sins."
"Understood."
Gu Jianlin said.
"So in the Ether Association, once the corrupted ones show aggression, they must be killed. Originally, when the light was still alive, the precepts for the unclean were not so strict. Most people would be killed. Seal their spirituality and send them to a resort or island, and someone will take care of them, protect them, and monitor them."
Chen Bojun said: "They will take Tianshengcao regularly until the end of their lives."
Gu Jianlin said: "It sounds like a prison with good conditions."
"Pretty much, but it's better than dying."
Chen Bojun said quietly: "But since Lai Yin came to power, there is basically no difference between the unclean ones and the fallen ones. The reason why Mu Feng survived is because of our many efforts. I hope your father can find out as soon as possible." Evidence, but we didn’t expect that later…”
Later, something happened to Gu Cian, too.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Is Lai Yin... very strong?"
Chen Bojun rarely hesitated.
"Very strong, very powerful. If your father hadn't wasted too much time on the curse and accepted Mr. Huai's suggestion to become a priest, he might be able to defeat him. But you know, there is no if."
He scratched his head: "And this is not purely a matter of personal strength. Because he is the student of the head of the Ether Association, he holds the power of the entire human civilization in his hands. Do you know? Above the ninth level demigod , there is another division, and that is natural disasters. People who can be called natural disasters are existences that can compete head-on with the ancient gods in the real world, and are well-deserved pillars of mankind."
"In Lai Yin's hands, he holds the power to check and balance natural disasters."
He pointed to the top of his head and said with emotion: "For example, the Catastrophe suspended in the sky at this moment, a meteorite from the starry sky, is the hanging sword that binds the King of Calamity and Blue."
Gu Jianlin thought for a moment and said softly: "So... you can't do anything, right?"
"Of course not on the surface, because the biggest enemy of the human world, the ancient gods, has not yet been solved. Do you know? The reason why the ancient gods failed to successfully invade reality is that in addition to their inability to exert their full power in the real world and being restricted everywhere, Their own infighting is the main reason."
"Based on our research on the original copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"... it is not the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" you see online, but the real "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that records the history of the war between humans and the ancient gods. We have discovered many clues."
Chen Bojun sighed: "For example, the invincible Lord Zhulong sealed Lord Baize eight thousand years ago, forced Lord Suzaku to sleep in the Suzaku Shrine five thousand years ago, and suppressed Lord Qilin more than two thousand years ago. The one who killed the ancestors of Kunpeng and Nine-Tails more than a thousand years ago. Five hundred years ago, he devoured the rebellious ancestors Yinglong and Panlong."
Without exception, these are all ancient gods, including the supreme supreme being and the dominating ancestor.
Just by chanting their names, one can feel a sense of awe and oppression.
Every name represents supreme power and a hidden history buried in the long river of time.
However, without exception, they were either sealed or killed.
Gu Jianlin once again truly felt the power of Lord Zhulong.
He didn't know if he had to bear the consequences since he inherited the power of Qilin.
To be honest, he felt like he couldn't bear it.
Lord Zhulong is too scary.
Not to mention her actual strength.
Just watch a little bit.
Most of the external records about the ancient gods are fragmented and mixed with a large number of adapted myths and legends. Logically speaking, they are all based on speculation and very unreliable.
But even in those unreliable legends, Zhulong is regarded as the strongest.
One can imagine how terrifying this strength is.
"This is all recorded in history, I'm not just talking nonsense."
Chen Bojun said: "It is already very difficult for humans to fight against the ancient gods. In places you don't know, there are many warriors on the ancient battlefield, guarding the peace of the real world. Do you think, in this case, we can fight among ourselves?"
Gu Jianlin breathed a sigh of relief and understood.
"On the winter night of 1899, an internal fight broke out about mankind. At that time, a living Supreme took action and almost destroyed the entire association system."
Chen Bojun added: "If there is not someone who can turn the tide, human history will probably end. As for that person, he is also inextricably linked to you, and you will meet again soon."
Gu Jianlin was stunned.
"Yes, that's the person you were thinking of. It was in that battle that he established his reputation as the strongest."
Chen Bojun smiled and said: "The King of Blue, Huaiyin."
