The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 961 - 449: Heiqi Yidao’s Secret (Part 2)

And Platinum has diligently served by the Master’s side for so many years, and in the end, got nothing.

"The fact is, if you want something, you have to take it by force."

Platinum said word by word, "Besides, we haven’t wronged you in any way. Your sister’s mental deformation is severe, and her talent isn’t outstanding. This project has just started, resources are scarce and expensive, by the time it’s her turn, it would be too late. Who saved her? It was us. You became a Heavenly Person, thanks to us, right? You are the first magician to master the Candle Light Law in history."

The struggle in Hua An’s eyes slowly faded, leaving only a cold void.

"I understand."

He emphasized, "I will say that this was content from the President’s will."

Platinum smiled slightly, satisfied, and ended the communication.

The office fell silent again, as if Hua An was enveloped by darkness.

He took a photo out of his pocket.

Back when Hua An graduated from the Central Spirit Core Institute, he met the President with excellent grades.

It was once the supreme glory for him.

He also fulfilled his dream of becoming the personal secretary to that supreme person.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Just like Platinum said, he gained nothing.

Hua An took out a lighter and casually set the photo on fire, watching it turn to ashes in the ashtray.

From then on, there was no gratitude, only hatred.

The dark freezer was silent, cold air filled the space.

Gu Jianlin suddenly opened his eyes and easily pushed open the heavy iron coffin, even breaking the chains binding it. It was a subtle explosion of dark energy, meticulous yet incredibly powerful.

"Get away!"

A cold female voice broke the silence.

The iron coffin on the left was also opened, Moon Princess had put on her cat face mask again, and whispered sharply.

Because Heiqi Yidao was squatting by her coffin, holding the broken chains in his hands.

Presumably, he had helped break the chains off her iron coffin, only to be scolded without reason.

His handsome face was full of innocence and awkwardness.

Moon Princess’s personality was like a snow lotus blooming on a snowy cliff, admirable but untouchable, her gentleness only blooming for those she liked. In her eyes, outsiders might as well be stray dogs on the street.

"Hey, isn’t it because I saw you’re frail and worried you didn’t have the strength?" Heiqi Yidao scratched his head sheepishly. Despite being scolded, he wasn’t angry, but rather showed fatherly tolerance and kindness.

Click.

The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was unsheathed, its sun flame-wrapped blade resting on his neck.

"Who are you really?"

Moon Princess clearly realized that something was off about this guy and said coldly, "If you ruin my plans, I’ll kill you without hesitation. Now, stay away from us, as far as possible."

Heiqi Yidao looked even more aggrieved, raising his hands helplessly and turning his head for support.

Gu Jianlin’s eyes narrowed slightly because this guy’s chest was clearly also pierced by that eerie dagger.

Tang Yun didn’t know this guy, so naturally, he couldn’t have given him any special treatment.

By now, Gu Jianlin was more certain of his suspicion, and his gaze towards him became extremely vigilant.

"Alright, now’s not the time for internal conflict, we’ll be in trouble if discovered."

He said softly.

He really couldn’t stand that guy’s gaze.

One had to admire Heiqi Yidao’s acting, even though you knew how dangerous he was and how he had plotted against you numerous times, yet when you saw his innocent eyes, he seemed like a father hurt by his daughter.

Moon Princess withdrew the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword indifferently and disdainfully jumped out of the coffin.

Clearly, it was Heiqi Yidao’s display of affection that made her a bit uncomfortable.

"I just think you look a bit like my sister."

Heiqi Yidao seemed to sense the girl’s disgust and hurriedly explained, "I’ve had no children in this life, and as I age, I particularly like cute kids."

Unexpectedly, Moon Princess looked at him with even more disdain and said coldly, "Your hobby is dangerous."

Heiqi Yidao hadn’t expected to be seen as some kind of perverted deviant, and showed a speechless expression before turning again to a pleading gaze, mouthing, "Has this girl always been so hard to get along with?"

Gu Jianlin silently shook his head, too lazy to respond.

Right now, they were the only ones awake in this freezer; the others were all asleep in the iron coffins.

Heiqi Yidao lowered his head, examining these coffins, and sneered, "The Bai Ze Clan really spares no effort, these are ancient relics left by the Ancient God Clan, meant to punish the disobedient members. The nobles preferred to seal the rebellious descendants with daggers, preserving them in coffins forever."

"Those bells you saw could strip away the thoughts of humans or the Ancient God Clan."

He explained as he touched the coffin lid, "Those daggers could freeze your soul."

Gu Jianlin was slightly taken aback, understanding a little more.

Having failed in his attempt to make friends, Heiqi Yidao began to flaunt his knowledge. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"This whole procedure is called Soul Calming; in ancient times, it often required human sacrifice."

Heiqi Yidao spoke eloquently, "Until it was abolished by a king named Emperor Xing."

Moon Princess said coldly, "My teacher told me this long ago."

She silently performed virtualization, gliding through the freezer door like a ghost.

Heiqi Yidao was thwarted again, showing a dejected expression.

"Don’t lose heart."

Gu Jianlin said with a blank expression, "There will be chances in the future."

Heiqi Yidao smiled and said, "What are you saying, I don’t understand?"

Gu Jianlin glanced at him, his voice turning cold, "I don’t know why you’re here, but if you’re here to ruin my plans, I won’t be as lenient as last time, I will kill you."

Because this guy still hadn’t fully recovered.

To Gu Jianlin, whether it was Qing and Chi or Taihua and Taiqing.

Under the same rank, they were all just toys.

It might seem rebellious to say this, but without this bit of arrogance, one couldn’t belong to this lineage.

After finishing, he too strode off, ghost-like, passing through the wall.

Heiqi Yidao watched his back, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, murmuring to himself, "You’re the first to say you can kill me, admirable courage. Indeed, breaking up helps people grow the fastest."

"Hey, you two, wait up for me!"

He quickly composed himself, catching up, "It’s dangerous here!"

Moon Princess had just gone through the freezer door, her light footsteps stopping abruptly. She blended into the wall like a ghost, instinctively holding her breath, watching helplessly as a spectral figure in a white robe flitted by.

This building was teeming with monsters from the Bai Ze Clan.

Gu Jianlin’s face emerged from the wall, frowning as he looked at these strange creatures.

"The Pseudo Ancestors of the Bai Ze Clan sure are peculiar things. Though they claim to know humanity well, they merely excel in learning. The Bai Ze Clan is the least emotionally expressive branch of the Ancient God Clan, habitual problem solvers through calculation. This group was the first to propose the doomsday theory and found a way to deal with it."

Heiqi Yidao also stuck his head out, making the scene extremely bizarre.

"Unfortunately, in those years, the President single-handedly suppressed it. Of course, the Bai Ze Clan had its own reasons; their research on the Third Law wasn’t this detailed in the past."

Moon Princess turned her head in surprise to look at this man.

Heiqi Yidao proudly blinked, as if his knowledge was finally being appreciated.

That triumphant look seemed to say, "Little thing, I still haven’t bested you yet!"

Moon Princess’s reaction pleased him greatly.

Unfortunately, Gu Jianlin remained expressionless, giving him a sense of frustration.

Thus, Heiqi Yidao prepared to reveal more startling news, smiling and saying, "Let me tell you a secret, the Bai Ze Clan’s research on the Third Law made huge advances after the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident; afterward, they used the perfect Spirit Coffin as a model, creating even more terrifying things."
