Yes, Gu Jianlin finally reacted.
The Kirin Mask can be gifted a second time, so theoretically it can be gifted a third time.
The story recorded in the Divine Ruins is indeed true, but what it describes is not the awakening of the last Supreme Being, but the original sacrifice of the Great God Youying trying to complete his own achievements. The so-called sacrifice is definitely not the prince of that ancient country. The one who is really going to be sacrificed is the black god!
That is the woman who was almost burned at the stake!
"At first I thought that I was the one chosen by the gods."
The man walked along the steps of the pyramid, his body was clearly illusory, but he made real footsteps: "In the era I lived in, golden blood was already flowing on the earth, and some people's spirits were polluted, becoming what you call Fallen people. Sometimes there will be terrible visions, with golden fires of divine sacrifices spurting out in the sky. From time to time there will be terrible earthquakes, bringing about volcanic eruptions and tsunamis of destruction."
"Compared to today's earth, our civilization is not that developed, and our thinking is not that advanced. The theocratic consciousness occupies the mainstream. The king's right is divinely granted, and our country is founded on religion. The translation into modern Chinese is... the ancient Xia Kingdom. I am the youngest and most knowledgeable scholar in Guxia. I have studied history and occultism since I was a child, excavating the secrets of alchemy through astrology, and devoting myself to exploring the mysteries of the universe."
"Looking at the entire ancient Xia Kingdom, I am the smartest person. The deeper my research, the more I can feel a sense of exquisite design. Qing or Chi should have told you that this world is carefully designed. Okay. Our parents were seriously ill, and my sisters and brothers left one after another in search of a way out. The throne fell to my brother. He didn’t like my research and thought I was just wasting my time, and even went crazy.”
"However, my brother, who is the emperor, is not the kind of king who tries his best to govern. He believes more in religion and theology. Even if the country is riddled with holes, he will insist on holding grand living sacrifices and continue to squeeze the labor force. Because my brother firmly believes that greatness The gods will eventually be moved by us and send us supreme gifts.”
This former Supreme Being strolled around in his own world, but could easily traverse a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers.
Gu Jianlin is also at the Holy Domain level now. If he doesn't use the speed of the ghost-killing path, he won't even be able to catch up.
"That's the reflection of Venerable Qiongqi. He doesn't care whether your world is alive or dead. All he wants is the arrival of the Great God Youying? I remember you called him the original lackey. Is that the reason?"
He said softly: "This is all planned."
"But I didn't know all this at the beginning, but I felt the fetal movement of this planet. I often had hallucinations in my dreams and could hear helpless calls. If Qilin's home planet is also a large-scale testing ground, then It just so happens that I am the experimental subject that is out of control. Just like there will be many experimental subjects that are out of control on the earth, such as the earliest Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Emperor Qin and Han Wu... and then Taihua, Qingchi, and you."
The man felt the wind in the desolate world and said indifferently: "For my country and my people, I followed the voice in my dream and traveled far. It was a thrilling journey, and it was also the most exciting and unforgettable journey in my life. A memory. We traveled across mountains and rivers, across the wilderness, over the mountains, and across the sea."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly: "It does sound magnificent."
The man walked through the wide Shinto and finally stopped in front of a palace suspended like the sun. He said softly: "The team when we left was thirteen people, and I was the only one who finally arrived at the axis. The so-called axis is that voice The source of it is where the core of that planet is.”
Compared to the pyramid-like mausoleum, this place is already close to the center of the world.
He climbed the stairs to nothingness and pushed open the palace door.
"The so-called world axis is actually a desert island isolated in the sea. The island seems deserted, but there are traces of splendid civilization. Everything that can exist in the ancient Xia Kingdom can be found there."
As the door opens, thousands of rays of sunlight pour in, illuminating the darkness.
"Including this palace."
There was a trace of nostalgia in the man's eyes: "I met her here."
Gu Jianlin looked against the light and saw the woman sleeping like a lotus at the end of the palace.
Time no longer flows in the quiet sunshine. The girl in the black dress sleeps quietly in the golden coffin. Even though she is wearing a golden unicorn mask, she can still feel the mysterious and ethereal beauty. Her exposed skin is as delicate as petals. , the pure and rich flavor of spices permeates the air, and is unique in the world.
The wind chimes hanging in the palace swayed, playing a melody that made people cry.
The man walked through the white curtain and came to the coffin without any words or movements.
Sadness spread like a tide, flooding every corner of the palace.
Gu Jianlin is also a Qilin Master, so he can naturally feel the rhythm of that girl's life. It is a strange state between life and death, and the flow of life and death reaches a perfect balance.
She won't die, but she won't wake up either, like an ancient mural.
Left behind at the end of the world.
"As a person chosen by this planet, she can sense everything that happens in the world, so there are those buildings on the island, including this palace built for herself. Because this planet was tampered with by the original, as the ultimate Her life was threatened, and by chance she was not born next to her family."
The man stared at the sleeping girl and said softly: "This is her way of protecting herself. She is the most qualified person to become the Supreme. She named herself Lian. In our era, the most noble person It’s often a single word. Just like my name in the human era was… Wang.”
Gu Jianlin tried profiling, but what he felt was endless sadness.
The sadness was like a tidal wave, almost suffocating him.
"At first I didn't understand why there was a girl here, but I thought I had found the ultimate in the world. If I find her, I can find the answer to everything. But she... was surprised by my appearance."
The man stretched out his hand and lightly touched the girl's golden mask with his fingertips.
"Why?"
Gu Jianlin raised his eyes with confusion.
"Well, because I am the one who was born next to the Supreme Reflections in her place."
The man hummed: "This is her little trick, so in the story you saw, the person who was sacrificed was me, not her. Apart from her, I am the most talented person on the planet. . On the premise that no one knows her existence, I am a natural sacrifice to complete the sacrifice to the original."
Gu Jianlin understood: "No wonder you can hear her voice and come to her. This should be outside of her plan. If it is to protect yourself, the best way is to erase your memory. Let you go."
"indeed."
The man closed his eyes and said word by word: "It's a pity that she has softened her heart."
Such a simple sentence has already concluded the entire story.
Even God, when he has not yet awakened, is just a child who is afraid of being alone.
Lian lived on this desert island for who knows how many years before she finally met such a person.
Reason tells her to stay away, but emotion keeps her close.
Maybe out of curiosity.
Maybe out of kindness.
Or it could be a fear of loneliness.
Lian and Wang became the most familiar strangers in the world. They were imprisoned on a desert island and fell in love with each other.
Until...the sky fell apart.
The dome of this ancient palace is an immortal mural that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years. The painting describes a scene of destruction, with fire falling from the sky like meteors, boiling the turbulent sea, and frequent earthquakes and tsunamis.
That is the wrath of the gods.
Gu Jianlin could already guess the rest of the story.
Lian and Wang finally left the desert island and embarked on a journey back to their homeland with their mission. They didn't know who the enemy they were facing was, but they clearly realized that it was a great existence that was almost impossible to fight against.
Of course, what they have to contend with is the religious beliefs of that ancient country that have existed for thousands of years.
The corrupt imperial power and the supreme divine power.
They knew they couldn't do it, but they had to do it.
Otherwise, the world will be completely destroyed.
Lian talked about the future she saw in an attempt to enlighten the people's wisdom, awaken the people enslaved by the divine power, and jointly fight against the impending wrath of the gods. However, in the end, she was not tolerated by secular beliefs and became a heretic or a witch in the world's population.
Wang returned to his country and generously shared his research results, but in the end he was unable to resist the power of the imperial power and angered the aging pseudo-emperor. He had no choice but to accept his fate and become a sacrifice to the gods.
"Didn't you have the power at that time?"
Gu Jianlin felt that his chest was blocked by silt and there was an inexplicable pressure.
"Yes, but very limited."
The man replied indifferently: "Including her, she was unable to truly awaken because of the original influence. Even if she tried her best, she could only manifest a very small part of the power of life and death, and she used it to redeem those...sinners."
Gu Jianlin closed his eyes and imagined the girl named Lian walking among the disasters, holding up her dress and bending down, cutting her wrists, and feeding her blood to the dying people.
"It was precisely because of her kindness that her ability to bring the dead back to life shocked my brother at the time."
The man said coldly: "My brother nominally wants to sacrifice me to the gods, but in fact he has found the real sacrifice. My brother declared her a blasphemous heretic, mobilized the most powerful force in the country, and wanted to punish her." Capital punishment. The real sacrifice has been secretly prepared...and I am just a cover."
Gu Jianlin whispered: "No wonder that period of history is recorded in this way. How did you escape later?"
The man chuckled.
"I met Qing and Chi."
I see.
Gu Jianlin once heard his grandmother say that Qing and Chi's temperaments changed drastically after they returned from the deep space.
It turns out that they have returned to the era of Lord Qilin.
"When Qing and Chi came to that world, they had even forgotten who they were."
The man said expressionlessly: "But they were our fellow travelers, and they loved her as much as I do."
Gu Jianlin was stunned.
"With the help of Qing and Chi, we were promoted to the ninth level of the demigod realm, killing everyone."
The man raised his eyes, and his dark pupils seemed to reflect the annihilated past: "I can't remember how many people I killed, and the imperial city was almost completely slaughtered by us. I rescued her and fled to the world. At the end of the world. At that time, Qing and Chi's memories gradually woke up and informed us of the existence of the aircraft. It was not until later that I realized that according to the rules of the universe, they should not have recalled those things after they came to the past."
He paused: "These two brothers have also broken through the shackles of the rules."
The man raised his hand, and the broken remains appeared in the crisscrossing sunlight.
That was the wreckage of the aircraft.
"Only one step away."
The man's voice was hoarse, yet so calm: "There's only one step left."
In the end, they failed to board the aircraft from the future.
There is no escape from the prison called fate.
A divine punishment of destruction fell, breaking their wings.
Their blood dripped on the barren land.
"Before dying, the original Qilin Master woke up."
Gu Jianlin said softly: "It's just...even if the power of life and death controlled by Qilin, at least the soul or corpse must be retained to resurrect a person. What's more, without the eternal fruit or eternal bone, even if it can save you Resurrection is nothing more than a walking corpse, and she has no other choice.”
The man bent down and gently touched the girl's golden mask.
"So she gave that power to me."
He actually smiled: "That was a bold attempt. Even if I was created by her to confuse the original puppet, I am not the person chosen by this planet after all. The power of the Supreme is a curse, and it is definitely not Something that could be given to others. Yet in that moment, she surpassed the limits of the Ancient One."
Gu Jianlin couldn't help but be moved.
He thought of many things.
Moreover, human beings can burst out with extraordinary power at the moment when their loved ones are about to die.
What’s more, it’s the ancient supreme being.
"I should have been wiped out the moment I withstood that power, but I happened to see her disappear into the barren universe and disappear into thin air. What a coincidence, at that moment... I also broke through my own limits. That planet finally In response to my despair and anger, I felt the power of the planet melt into me.”
The man seemed to be laughing, but also seemed to be crying: "I saw the black unicorn roaring in the universe. I felt the power of life and death flowing in my body. I saw the distant past and the endless future. I understood the universe. The deepest mystery. In the last moments of life and death, I kept her."
He embraced the golden coffin as if he were embracing the annihilated past.
"Stay...with me."
The answer is finally revealed.
No wonder the people on the Kirin home planet are called sinners.
It's no wonder that the Qilin clan has been atoning for their sins throughout their lives, whether before or after death.
The first awakening of Shenxu may be an attempt to resurrect Lotus.
Why does Lord Qilin like to watch the sea? Because their first encounter was at the sea.
The third floor of Qilin Immortal Palace is not the mausoleum He built for himself.
But it is the place where Lian sleeps.
The Qilin clan buried here are her grave goods.
It was like an immortal army, guarding her peace.
It is precisely because of this past that Lord Qilin became a paradox that should not have existed. He broke through the shackles with sadness and anger. The first thing he did when he broke out of the prison was to descend upon his divine race.
He roars, He roars.
Completely tearing apart the original conspiracy and lies.
The Great God Youying finally died in his hands.
The black unicorn's anger will never be extinguished once it is ignited. His anger is destined to burn to the end of the world...
Even to the end of time.
"That's what you want to know."
The man stood up, turned around and stared at the young man in front of him, his golden eyes suddenly lit up: "You are my inheritor and her inheritor. This is the hatred between us and the original, and you should not be involved."
At this moment, He didn't look like the angry and crazy Black Supreme.
It seems that it has become a hope for hundreds of millions of years.
"No."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, then he put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
"It's an honor for me to pass on this hatred..."
After reading the comments for a long time, I found that the origin of the Ancient Gods was determined at the beginning of the setting. I like a sentence in "Dragon" very much. God was also a child who came to this world in the first place.
Moreover, my settings and plots have never been the indescribable and compelling style of Ke. Those who can see it now can probably tell that my writing style is driven by emotions...
