The Ancient Gods' Whisper
Chapter 1167 - 544: Candle Dragon and Skylark_2
There was no harmony among the Primordial.
Based on the existing clues, it is inferred that on the Ancestor Star of the Ancient God Clan, the You Ying God likely held the advantage, as it was the first to attempt completing the Third Law.
And the rules on the Ancestor Star seemed to lean towards it.
From then on, the Ancient God Clan understood the importance of the Third Power.
This was probably discovered by Qilin Venerable through researching himself.
Qilin and Qiongqi are products of the Third Power, but unfortunately did not achieve perfect evolution.
Understandably so, if the Primordial realized the sacrifices they created actually had the power to backlash against themselves, they would naturally try every possible means to make them flawed.
"It wasn’t until we arrived on Earth that we discovered the genes of our clan flowing on this planet. Here, humans are also experiencing our past. Yet, here there are no so-called Ancient Gods, only weak humans, but they just manage to master and harness the... Candle Light Law."
Candle Dragon Venerable smiled gently, and the desolate world seemed to become lively with her smile: "We were convinced this was Father God’s incubator, thus we decided to essentially disrupt the ecological chain of this planet. We spread our bones and blood, polluting humanity."
Thus, Earth’s history was formally opened.
Ancient Gods and humans were originally the same kind of life, just in different stages.
The countless years of slaughter and war were merely a deliberately guided deception.
If it were Mother God’s incubator, then it would grant humans the ability to master the You Ying Law, thereby step by step consume their lives, ultimately completing itself.
Earth is Father God’s incubator, here humans possess the ability to master the Candle Light Law.
"That was yet another protracted war, ultimately won by us. My authority is infinite, with each end of a cycle my power becomes infinitely strong. Qilin wasn’t my match before devouring the blood relatives, you know the outcome."
Candle Dragon Venerable lightly tapped her vermilion lips: "I initially intended to kill Father God in anger, but at the brink of death, he offered a condition I could not refuse."
That was replacement!
Of course, the will of the Primordial is not to be trusted.
But for great beings like Vermilion Bird and Candle Dragon, they do not care.
Thus, Qilin waged war on its brother and sister in Chu.
Because their stances had become completely opposed.
"What benefits come from replacing the Primordial?"
Suddenly a breeze came, and Gu Jianlin gently held the girl’s hand.
At the moment of skin contact, it was like returning to their first meeting in Tokyo.
Back then, she held his hand as they walked the streets of Yokohama, beneath colorful billboards were their side-by-side leaning backs, they once gazed at the sea on a bench by the coast, eating a serving of tamagoyaki together, passersby cast amazed glances, clearly in flight, yet with tranquil times.
Finally, Gu Jianlin awoke.
Like waking from a nightmare.
It seemed no tragedy ever happened.
He was still the naive and innocent boy from back then, the first thing upon waking was brushing teeth and washing face, making the bed, carrying a school backpack and heading to school, buying some breakfast on the way.
The girl’s hand was soft and pure white, revealing his deep black pupils in the gaps between her fingers.
In his eyes was an unprecedented confusion.
"Do you know the Mobius Ring?"
Candle Dragon Venerable let him hold her hand, her voice languid and sweet.
"Yes."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly.
"It is the rule of the Universe, I have many ways to return to the past, yet unable to change any trivial matter. The butterfly effect simply does not exist, even if I stir up a storm that destroys the world, it will ultimately dissipate in the vast Universe."
Candle Dragon Venerable blew a breath beside his ear: "The Mobius Ring is like our destiny, no matter how we struggle we cannot escape. But the Primordial can... jump out."
Gu Jianlin was slightly startled.
"That means, the Primordial can change everything."
Candle Dragon Venerable curled her vermilion lips: "Any tragedy, any regret, any misfortune, any suffering. As long as you wish, you can go back and change everything, as the true Creator God. Your mother won’t age prematurely, your father won’t become someone else."
"Skylark won’t vanish from your world, she’ll stay by your side, love you."
Her voice was so tempting, like the most enchanting and alluring demon in the world enticing with the ignorant scholar: "You can kiss her, you can embrace her, hold her hand and wander every corner of the world. No matter what danger you encounter, she will protect you. She likes you, everything follows your lead. Will knowing all this make you regret destroying the Primordial?"
At this moment, the tenderness in Candle Dragon Venerable’s eyes vanished.
Replaced by fierce coldness and cruelty.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "She doesn’t like me."
Candle Dragon Venerable coldly laughed: "That was before."
Gu Jianlin was slightly stunned. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Back then, she indeed didn’t like you, only wanted to use you to get what she wanted, and conveniently have you deal with your father. But after that incident, she changed."
Candle Dragon Venerable released his eyes, crossing her arms and leaning under the withered ancient tree, seemingly casually explaining: "This is where she almost transcended my control, because she regretted."
