The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 976 - 456: The Monster of the Bai Ze Clan

The darkness echoed with faint footsteps, someone stepping through a sea of blood.

The building was in a power outage, only weak currents illuminated his deep blue eyes. The ill-fitting suit was obviously just pulled off a corpse, the collar stained with blood, the tie loose, and the trousers showed clear tear marks. Blood-stained shoes stepped into pools of blood.

Under the dim light, his walking posture was rather odd, the twisting of joints taking on a mechanical stiffness.

Like a toddler learning to walk.

Moon Princess turned around, seeing the mysterious man’s face clearly, a crack appeared in the cold pool-like eyes.

As if overwhelmed by immense shock.

"It’s fucking unbelievable."

Jiang Yanli’s eyes were horrified, instinctively stuffing her hands into her mouth, expressing her emotions quite aptly.

Because they all saw the man’s face clearly.

Gu Ci’an!

Or rather, a younger Gu Ci’an, wet black hair still dripping water, a handsome face tinged with a sickly pale, especially those deep blue eyes, giving off a bizarre feeling.

If not for the absence of that cold, alienated aura, you could say this is Xiao Gu and someone might believe.

The problem is, Gu Ci’an is already dead, Moon Princess hosted the funeral herself, watching him burn in the crematorium, supposedly several pounds of bullets burned out of his body at the time, frightening the crematorium staff quite a bit.

The dark hall fell into silence.

Gu Ci’an silently lifted his head, deep blue eyes reflecting the cat-faced girl in front, an expressionless face surprisingly breaking into a slight smile, softly saying: "Long time no see, Youzhu."

Such a simple sentence pulled Moon Princess back to months ago, long-sealed memories rushing like a breached dam, even the suppressed emotions reaching a point of release.

"Don’t be deceived by him, the Bai Ze Clan’s ability is knowing the past and future."

Jiang Yanli placed a hand on her shoulder, murmuring: "This guy is your mentor’s clone, inherently closely connected to the main body. With one look, he can know your past and future."

Gu Ci’an still softly said: "Don’t listen to his slander, at the time I didn’t die but was taken away by them. They transformed me, trying to merge Bai Ze Venerable’s power. Trust me, come to my side, I want to know where my son is, is he doing well?"

He tried to move forward, approaching step by step.

Yet his gaze at this world carried a newborn’s curiosity.

Moon Princess, gripping the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, had trembling hands, inner doubts rising.

Because she very much hoped the man in front was telling the truth.

"I see, this is spiritual clone technology, an amalgamation of ancient alchemy and modern science. In the realm of alchemy, the soul is a special substance, just non-observable. Ancient alchemists refined the Wise Man’s Stone, giving soul information a temporary vessel."

Jiang Yanli stepped back gradually, forcing a smile uglier than crying, saying: "The Ancient God Clan’s most obvious trait is possessing spiritual genes, and modern scientists combined alchemy content to ascertain that each person’s spiritual gene has a string of codes, from which the origin of life can be glimpsed."

"Over two hundred years ago, the Order World started researching this, at the time I was also the chief consultant. We used an unexpectedly obtained Ancient God corpse from the Candle Dragon Clan, researching its spiritual gene structure, deducing its Master, namely the Candle Dragon Venerable’s gene code, the result being an endless string of numbers. Humans can’t comprehend its mystery, but the Ancient God Clan members or higher-tier Ancient God clans can!"

His speech was rapid, as fast as rap, only missing a finishing shout of yo-yo.

"Speak in layman’s terms!"

Moon Princess forcibly maintained composure, speaking coldly.

"In layman terms, the Bai Ze Clan obtained your mentor’s spiritual gene code, thereby seeing the tricks played by the Vermilion Bird Clan on him, ultimately cloning out this monster in front!"

Jiang Yanli’s throat shifted, whispering: "This guy might be far more formidable than I imagined, don’t be enthralled by him. The Bai Ze Clan can clone Gu Ci’an’s appearance and talents but cannot replicate a person’s genuine emotions. As a clone, he doesn’t possess humanity or feelings, stay away from him!"

Moon Princess noticed this convenient uncle was gradually retreating, slightly furrowing her brows.

"I won’t hurt you, child."

Gu Ci’an stepped forward, enforcing a pale smile, softly saying: "I can prove myself, don’t you remember how we met at the time? Those years I often visited your family to see my ex-wife, right?"

Moon Princess was caught in a dilemma.

Jiang Yanli was urging her to fall back, Gu Ci’an was coaxing her to approach.

"My little aunt, can you hurry up and leave!"

Jiang Yanli said with a pained expression: "If something happens to you, how do I explain to your mom?"

Gu Ci’an’s voice was gentle, recalling the bits and pieces of mentor and student interactions: "At the time, I saw you, immediately noticing your talent. Later, our encounter at Qilin Immortal Palace, actually it was all intentionally arranged by me. You didn’t disappoint, you’re so brave and decisive, like a sprite..."
