Thousands of twilight shrouded the ancient temple. The Buddha statue in the temple was holding flowers with his fingers. His eyes were so compassionate and silent, as if he was praying for the world. The bells sounded distant and lonely.
"Since the beginning of humankind, whether it is religious prophecies or myths and legends, all have confirmed the possibility of the end of the world. Zweig's "The Beheaded Queen" once said that all gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price. The early sages of mankind also believed that gods would never redeem people for no reason."
Ji Zhou burned a stick of incense in front of the Buddha statue and said softly: "What's more, the early ancestors did not regard the ancient gods as real gods... My child, you need to remember one thing."
Gu Jianlin looked at her back with a look that asked for advice.
"You were not born to look up to or fear anyone."
Ji Zhou put his hands behind his back, and his indifferent voice roared like an ancient bell, echoing in the world: "If there is really a god in this world, then how can you bear that the god is not Yin?"
The bells were ringing loudly, and the wind was blowing in the Zending Temple. The hem of her windbreaker was rustling. It was obvious that her back was so slender and frail, but it seemed that it could bear the weight of the whole world.
It was the arrogance of an emperor, the majesty of an emperor, and the grandeur of an emperor.
It's hard to imagine how dominating this woman was when she was young. You can't use the word beauty to describe her. Even if she looks really beautiful, her edge is enough to overwhelm her beauty.
You can't see her as a woman either.
There is only one word in the world suitable to describe her.
king.
"Were you really not the emperor more than four hundred years ago?"
Gu Jianlin said quietly.
"My identity in this world is a princess."
Ji Zhou said calmly: "Emperor Tianqi is my nominal brother. We were busy dealing with the ancient gods who came out of Guixu at that time. We had very little time to return to the living world. We are not as free as you."
Gu Jianlin also read some information. In ancient times, the war between humans and the ancient gods was extremely tragic.
It was an epic and mythical war.
Today's Qilin Immortal Palace is not that dangerous, mainly because two thousand years ago, the Zhulong and Qilin clans went to war. Almost all the ancient gods were dead, and those who survived were also sleeping.
Therefore, the land reclamation of Qilin Immortal Palace is not a war, but an exploration.
The real dangers of Qilin Immortal Palace are extremely secretive.
In line with the style of the Black Supreme.
"I have no interest in becoming a god."
Gu Jianlin said truthfully.
"You are not interested, others are. If you don't become a god, someone else will become a god, and many people will die on the way to becoming a god. It may be the people around you, or it may be you."
Ji Zhou's voice was like the roar of a sword, with a murderous aura: "You live in this world, and you will eventually be pushed by it. Many things are beyond your control. People can never understand each other. , war and conflict are also one of the laws of nature."
"Strong people who can stand on top of the world, without exception, have one characteristic."
She paused: "We will never be in awe."
Gu Jianlin really agrees with this truth. If you fear someone, you will never be able to surpass him.
This is also the reason why humans can fight against the ancient gods to this day.
"Even if you know that the end of the world exists, you don't need to be afraid. Everyone is mortal. Birth, aging, illness and death are eternal laws. You must learn to be magnanimous and relieved about death."
Ji Zhou said indifferently: "Why are some people afraid of death? Because he died on his knees."
Gu Jianlin vaguely realized how important this conversation would be in enlightening his life, but he was still too inexperienced to understand the full meaning.
Perhaps many years later, he would realize how important the woman in front of him taught him.
At this time he noticed something.
Ji Zhou was always staring at a spiritual tablet in front of the Buddha statue.
It was a spiritual plaque without words. The mahogany wood was already mottled and covered with traces of time.
"This is the president's husband."
Ji Zhou made a surprising statement: "Tai Qing, the president of the previous generation."
Gu Jianlin was stunned.
"In addition to protecting the order of the human world, the most important mission of each generation of president is to find ways to fight against the ancient gods and study the specific meaning of the end of the world."
Ji Zhou said softly: "As early as 4,600 years ago, humans discovered the existence of the wedge of heaven and man in ancient ruins. The specific time and place cannot be verified now. The early people discovered the wedge between heaven and man through The study of Zhiqian reproduced the power of Zhuzhao's law, and the heavenly beings were born."
"After generations of heavenly beings have perfected the law of Zhuzhao, and the heavenly beings in later generations have become more and more powerful, we gradually have the ability to explore the ancient divine world and trace the secrets of the gods."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips: "Jiang Chunyang, have you seen it?"
Gu Jianlin didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this, and nodded slightly.
"Is he okay?"
Ji Zhou suddenly asked.
Gu Jianlin thought about the crazy old man and shook his head.
"Jiang Chunyang should have mentioned to you the Starry Sky Project, which is the most important step in human history. Only the sublimated can go to the inner universe and witness the truest appearance of this world."
Ji Zhou stared at the wooden sign and said softly: "That is a plan formulated by Taiqing. We installed an alchemy matrix on the spaceship to open up the barren universe with the power of the heaven and human realm. You may not know that the universe is everywhere They are all the breath of the ancient gods, and most people will become deformed as soon as they set foot on them."
"Why green and red?"
Gu Jianlin couldn't help but ask.
"We didn't know it at the time. We only found these two children based on ancient prophecies. Only when they came back from the depths of the universe did we realize one thing."
Ji Zhou turned around and looked at him deeply: "Time difference."
Gu Jianlin was stunned and understood.
"Einstein had not yet been born at that time, and there was no such thing as the theory of relativity in the world. Through observations, we found that the physical laws of the outer universe and the inner universe were different, ignoring the difference in the flow rate of time. When an object becomes faster and faster , time on it will become slower and slower. When it reaches the speed of light, it will stop passing. When it exceeds the speed of light, time will flow backwards."
Ji Zhou said calmly: "Theoretically, this is true, but in the universe it is the opposite. From our perspective, Qing and Chi only went to the deep space of the universe for one year, but in the time they perceived, a hundred years have passed. Year."
Gu Jianlin suddenly realized: "No wonder the old ghost of the Jiang family said that Qing and Chi have become extremely strange."
"Yes, since that time, Qing and Chi have been out of our control. What's interesting is that they have been assassinated countless times since they returned to Earth."
Ji Zhou sneered: "At that time, they claimed to be at the holy realm level, but in fact they had reached the realm of demigods. It was not until Einstein's theory of relativity was officially announced that we realized what was going on. So they He survived several assassinations, and based on clues obtained from the depths of the universe, he uncovered the ultimate secret on Earth that has troubled mankind for thousands of years."
Gu Jianlin said softly: "Doomsday prophecy."
Ji Zhou hummed.
"The so-called assassination was also done by the Monastery, right?"
Gu Jianlin thought thoughtfully: "The Hermitage doesn't want them to discover this secret."
"Qing and Chi discovered a crucial law, that is, spirituality itself is a kind of energy, a kind of energy guided by the spirit, which also follows the law of conservation of energy. In addition, the existence of the soul is also energy, and there is another The unknown quality is that it cannot be transformed."
Ji Zhou's eyes were deep: "In other words, souls can only be created, not transformed."
This discovery may seem inconspicuous, but it is enough to shock the entire world.
Just like when a person inhales oxygen, what he exhales is carbon dioxide.
The soul can only be created, but cannot be transformed.
That means that the souls of all the ascendants from ancient times to the present still exist.
If it exists in nature, it can theoretically be observed.
"If it can't be observed, that means something is... devouring these souls?"
Gu Jianlin was horrified: "Devoured for tens of thousands of years?"
It's indeed a horror story.
You don't even need to know what that thing is.
You just need to know what such a huge soul power can do.
Destroying this planet may only take a snap of your fingers.
"Is that why the Red King decided to kill the Ascended Ones all over the world?"
Gu Jianlin suddenly said: "Something's wrong. The end of the world will happen in this century. If we really want to prevent that thing from coming, we shouldn't cut off the inheritance path!"
Taihua walked outside the temple with his hands behind his back, looked at the sea of clouds in the distance, and said softly: "Of course that child doesn't want to cut off the inheritance path. He wants to do one thing from the beginning to the end."
"Looking forward to the arrival of the real gods."
The dim twilight fell on her face, but she still had no expression.
The purpose of the Red King is to hasten the end!
Gu Jianlin instinctively wanted to ask what benefit the coming of the gods would bring to him.
The words just reached his lips, but they stopped abruptly.
"Well, you realized it."
Ji Zhou said calmly: "After all, he is a child taught by the president. If there is really a supreme god in this world, how can he endure that he is not that god?"
Gu Jianlin's blood ran cold. It turned out that this was the real reason for the Red King's madness.
If that thing is guarded by the Priory.
So what the Red King really wants to do is probably to replace him.
Usurping the treasure that has been planned for thousands of years by the unified will!
"senior."
Gu Jianlin said softly: "The Red King is not completely dead."
Ji Zhou was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "What are the characteristics of Youying's law?"
As expected of being the pillar of the human world, he reacted instantly.
Gu Jianlin hummed: "The Red King may be resurrected."
Ji Zhou turned around and touched his hair, smiled silently, and said: "Before I came to Tokyo, I asked Lin Zhengchun of Laojun Mountain to tell his fortune. The old man said that people always have the habit of walking when they are about to die. The road I have walked before, I met the people I have met before...it turns out that the so-called old friend is him."

The sun in Tokyo is bright and refreshing, but on the Whale Sea in the Western Pacific, there are dense clouds. Thick black clouds are entwined together. There are faint blazing lightnings crisscrossing each other, accompanied by rolling thunder, which seems to have covered the sky. A hole was blasted.
Tang Ling stood on the coast and looked at the black sea. She silently put down the telescope and said softly: "The door to the dimension is about to open. Parents, please go back first. I'll be fine."
The wind blew her white hair, and the hem of her white skirt was also swaying in the wind.
A huge floating island vaguely appeared in the dark sky, resembling a black unicorn.
This huge Kirin Island can be seen from all the countries along the Pacific coast.
This means that Qilin Immortal Palace is further integrated with reality.
The Ascended Ones have blocked the nearby waters and do not allow any fishing boats or commercial ships to approach.
Various countries have also ordered their troops to stay away from this sea area to avoid the recurrence of the Bermuda incident.
Including the dark web, there are already undercurrents. Ascendant organizations around the world are preparing to enter the second level of the world. Those who have the keys are not just ordinary people, scrambling to seize the treasure.
"You have just recovered and you have to go on a mission again. Parents are always worried."
Tang Zixuan lowered his voice and whispered: "And now that you have successfully evolved, many people are staring at you and don't want to see you inherit that position. Especially, that person's time is running out."
That person is naturally the president.
Tang Ling was silent for a moment: "Dad, what do you want to say?"
Tang Zixuan sighed: "You still have a long way to go before becoming a demigod. Once that man goes west, who can protect you? There are too many people who are thinking about you. Natural disasters They are all unreliable, the King of Silver is too close to Lishan Tianyan Pavilion, and what they want to cultivate is a puppet."
"In my opinion, the successor before you is either Lingdong or Rhine. The former is a little older and not a good match for you, but the latter is just right."
He said solemnly: "Marriage is more reliable than alliance. Ever since Qing and Chi made the move, the internal turmoil in the Ether Association has not stopped for even a day. You need a backer."
Tang Ling glanced at him coldly.
Tang Zixuan is the head of the Tang family, and he is naturally a very majestic person in front of outsiders. Unfortunately, he is a slave to his daughter. He is afraid of the look in his daughter's eyes and can only shake his head helplessly.
There is a research ship on the black sea, and the back of a man in a white suit is looming on the ship.
That's Rhine.
The outside world has a bad opinion of the vice president, mainly because of the Tribunal's conduct.
Rhine is indeed a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
But he also has his principles.
For example, if Thunder didn't like him, he would never get close.
"Don't worry, I have a more reliable candidate."
Tang Ling said softly.
"Who can be as reliable as Vice-President Rhine?"
Tang Zixuan frowned: "This cooperation mission between the Ether Association and the Youying Group is unprecedented, but we don't even know what they are planning in secret. This is too dangerous."
This is indeed a rare situation.
The mission is about to start, but they don't even know the specific content of the mission.
The roar of helicopters sounded in the distance, and the Omega Sequences had landed on the nearby coast.
Taixu's voice sounded in the earphones, echoing in every Omega Sequence earphone.
"Dear Omega Sequence, mission update."
Taixu solemnly said: "Your mission is to pass through the Dragon Burial Valley on the second floor of Qilin Immortal Palace and explore an upside-down pyramid called Shenxu. In this mission, you may encounter obstacles from the outside or inside. , no one can guarantee your safety, please be careful."
Next, only a few people's earphones heard the last words.
"The members of the Youying Group are our allies, but they are not trustworthy."
She paused: "You need to always be vigilant against them and do everything you can to...prevent the resurrection of the Red King!"
The sea breeze blew against her face, Tang Ling's forehead hair half covered her beautiful eyes, and her pupils suddenly became darker.
Omega's communication channel fell into dead silence.
On the scientific research ship in the distant sea, Rhine silently held his headphones, his face as sinking as water.

In the deepest part of Shinjuku Gyoen Garden, the ancient shrine has been demolished. The priests carried the old alchemy equipment and threw them into the fire to be burned. Thick smoke filled the air and floated into the sky.
"You seem to be recovering well."
The military advisor stood in front of the pavilion and said with a smile: "The things that little guy gave me are really useful."
Jiang Chunyang was dressed in a black kimono, with his hands behind his back and remained silent.
Today, he is still in a bad state, his pupils are covered with angry scarlet bloodshot eyes, his eyes are as scary as a ghost, he is still troubled by the curse, as if he will drown in the hallucination at any time.
But compared to before, he has indeed recovered a lot, at least he will not go crazy suddenly.
"let's start."
He said hoarsely: "If you delay any longer, this thing will come out. In the past year, I can hear his voice in my dreams. His laughter is getting more and more crazy, and the alchemy matrix can no longer suppress him."
The military advisor shrugged: "You are his father, and you use this thing to describe him?"
Jiang Chunyang sneered: "No one would regard that kind of thing as their son. I don't know why he would choose you to be his spokesperson. But I advise you to be careful. He is someone who will subvert everything. He simply There is no humanity at all. Compared to Qing, Red is the craziest monster."
His eyes were cold, with an underlying hint of madness.
As for the military advisor, he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly.
Mainly, military advisors would threaten his dominance.
If the military advisor hadn't been too weird and couldn't be killed, he would have died countless times.
Of course, the military advisor does have real materials.
Most of the Red King's legacy is in his hands, and the rise of the dark world is also related to him.
"Is that so?"
The military advisor sighed: "Actually, I don't have a good relationship with my father, which is understandable."
He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Notify Dr. Aaron and the operation begins."
Rumble, the barrier of time and space trembled.
In the deepest part of the ancient shrine, there is a coffin wrapped in black iron chains.
Someone smiled in their sleep.
