The Old Gods Are Whispering

Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"what are you laughing at?"

Lu Zicheng asked curiously.

Gu Jianlin said softly: "For a long time in the past, everyone thought I was crazy, that I had a brain problem, that I had post-traumatic stress disorder, and that everything I saw was fake."

Lu Zicheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Falling flowers are hard to return to branches, and broken mirrors are hard to reunite. Once a person is enlightened, it is difficult to return to the world. You are the one chosen by another world. It will not be understood by normal people. It is a gift, but also a curse, a blessing, but also a tragedy."

Gu Jianlin felt that he was very lucky. If he hadn't come into contact with the extraordinary world, learned about ancient gods and ascendants, and the secrets of another time and space dimension, he would never know how his father died.

Some things just passed by so unclearly.

Maybe he will never see that terrifying monster on the highway again in his life.

There is no way to seek justice from anyone.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"So, my father's death was not just a car accident."

He raised his head, his eyes reflected the faint sky light, and there was nothingness: "He was killed."

Lu Zicheng paused slightly with his hand holding the cigarette, and then nodded slowly.

"right."

After a long silence.

Gu Jianlin silently clenched his palms, staring into the other's eyes: "Can you tell me the specific reason?"

This time, Lu Zicheng rarely avoided his eyes.

"Although every child has the right to know the cause of their parents' death, I'm sorry that I can't say it, because this matter involves a very high level of confidentiality, and I can't disclose it."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "And this matter is very complicated."

"If possible, I would like to know how to be qualified to be told the truth of this matter?"

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly, "Do you want to join the Ethernet Association?"

Lu Zicheng smoked a cigarette and scratched his head: "You are quite smart. I really want to invite you to join the Ether Association. For a genius like you, the Ether Association will not let you wander outside."

"But regarding your father's matter, I can't guarantee that you will get an answer in the near future. I need to ask my superiors for instructions, and you also need to complete some assessments and tests before you can successfully become a member of the Ethernet Association."

He paused: "Of course, if you are strong enough, you can ignore all these rules."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

"What's so surprising about this? This world has always followed the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong. If you are now a ninth-level ascendant, you can surpass all the rules of this world. Come on, no one dares to say no to you, including those old guys from the Ethereum Association."

Lu Zicheng shrugged and joked: "Because you can blow their heads off at any time, the rules they set up are bullshit to you. Of course, they won't offend you. According to what I know about them, they just I will line up to greet you, kneeling and licking you one after another, and you will become the emperor among the sublimated..."

Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "It sounds really cool."

"Of course it's cool."

Lu Zicheng smiled and said: "When you play games, the pig teammates you meet will also know who is the thigh, and all the heads of the wild monsters in the pawn line will be given to you. It is the same in the world of sublimators."

Gu Jianlin asked, "Is there really such a person?"

Lu Zicheng smiled and said, "Is your heart moved? I can only tell you that there have been a few in history. You should have seen the most famous one in your junior high school history textbook. Now it is at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, Chang'an City."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback for a moment: "The first emperor?"

"Hmm, there are a few people alive today."

Lu Zicheng gave him a sideways glance: "And you, you haven't even chosen your inheritance path yet."

Gu Jianlin felt a little puzzled: "The problem is that no one asked me to choose."

Lu Zicheng curled his lips: "Tsk, you are a noble self-sublimation, unlike mediots like us, who still need to use the sublimation ceremony of the Ether Association to help us choose the inheritance path. When you have a thorough understanding of the real world, You will naturally choose your own inheritance path."

Gu Jianlin rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He has heard the term "inheritance path" many times.

If you guessed right, it's like the division of different professions in online games. Ascendants can choose different inheritance paths to change jobs, and their abilities and characteristics are also different.

At present, there are four ways of inheritance that he has learned.

Alchemists, magicians, witches, ancient warriors.

Every inheritance path, in his profile, has extremely obvious professional characteristics, which are clear at a glance.

Gu Jianlin didn't know if it was because he had been to the Qilin Fairy Palace, but his profile was able to analyze other people's inherited occupations, which was even more outrageous than the personality portraits he had seen before.

I'm afraid no one will believe it.

I don't know if my father's profile can see the same picture as him.

A pharmacist, as the name suggests, should be a nanny.

Magicians have already fought against each other. The most elementary ones can only use illusion, and it has no effect on him.

As for the witch, it is an auxiliary class, and it is unclear what specific abilities it has.

Furutake at the end, that was really ferocious.

That huge and burly phantom of an ancient warrior was full of oppression like a demon god. The terrifying power and cold killing aura were as overwhelming as a storm, and even two hours had passed.

Gu Jianlin almost had a cardiac arrest just by glancing at it.

"The one you're fighting with is called a magician. In the primary stage, he doesn't have any special abilities other than hypnosis. It is recognized as the weakest profession in the early stage, and even ordinary people with a firmer mind can't deal with it. And Chen Qing is a witch path, the main one. The ability is to perceive and assist, to purify the spirit, and to provide psychological counseling."

Lu Zicheng gave a brief introduction: "I am Gu Wu. As the name suggests, I am the most able to fight. We have the power of Qi. The opponent's head was blown off with a snap of the fingers before, which is the high-end use of Qi."

He talked eloquently: "As for other ways of inheritance, there are many, such as priests in the West, sword sects in the East, and the unpredictable Ghost Slayer, a paladin who is born to be a human shield..."

Really fancy.

"The essence of the inheritance path, you can understand it as a profession in the game. The abilities of each inheritance path are different."

Lu Zicheng reminded: "Of course, different professions also have their strengths and weaknesses. The older the inheritance path, the more accumulated heritage, the more comprehensive the development, the stronger the ability."

Gu Jianlin thought for a moment: "The magician?"

"right."

Lu Zicheng nodded: "The way of inheritance like the magician appeared very late, and the foundation is too weak. In fact, most of the ways of inheritance in the West are not as old as the East."

Gu Jianlin asked, "How did the inheritance path appear?"

Lu Zicheng said frankly, "I don't know."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

"No one knows the specific principle, but the process of the sublimator advancing on the inheritance path is the process of human beings obtaining the power of gods. Some people say that this is a gift from God to human beings."

Lu Zicheng glanced at him, then paused: "In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire for humans, and humans have learned how to make fire since then."

"The vast majority of sublimators, after seeing that world, through complex mysterious rituals, and the remaining will of the predecessors, leverage the power from another world to obtain the inheritance path. This is also something that wild sublimators cannot reason for survival."

"Because they can't get the inheritance path, even if they are lucky enough to become sublimators, they don't have the means and resources to advance. It may be dangerous in another world, and they can't get shelter."

Gu Jianlin probably understood that the sublimator resources in this world are basically controlled by certain organizations.

Take the game as an example, that is, the land reclamation period has already passed.

"For every sublimated person who dies, their remaining consciousness will return to another world, and with the precipitation of history, a inheritance path will be formed."

Lu Zicheng said with a smile: "The first batch of sublimators are those who are gifted like you and can awaken on their own. In other words, you can find and seek in another world without anyone's guidance. to match your strength."

"For example, you camped in the forest for two months and discarded some food every day, and a mouse accidentally ate that piece of meat and became the strongest mouse in the group."

"Of course, sublimators are not mice. We do have the qualifications to evolve. As for the theory and why this happens, it is unknown."

Gu Jianlin commented: "It sounds like that world is full of treasures."

"That's right, but the premise is that you have the aptitude to observe treasures from another world."

Lu Zicheng's tone was a little more serious: "And that world is accompanied by endless crises."

Gu Jianlin had a deep understanding of this.

He asked: "Is the self-sublimated person the best talent?"

Lu Zicheng scratched his forehead and explained: "It doesn't count, because above you, there are actually the kind of god servants who are directly selected by the gods, and above the god servants, there is another category."

Gu Jianlinjing waited for his next words.

"Of course the ancient gods."

Lu Zicheng spread his hands: "But you don't need to worry about these. Self-sublimated people must have better talents than ordinary sublimated people, but they are still a kind of life. As for god servants and ancient gods, their life levels are different from ours. You say they are Carbon-based organisms are also true, but they are actually something else..."

Gu Jianlin thought of the unicorn in his mind for no reason, but he was very vigilant and didn't say anything about it.

Because he had a hunch.

Once this matter is spoken out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Then what inheritance path will I have?"

he asked.

"Don't worry about this, you will know tonight."

Lu Zicheng said seriously: "Now, what you have to do is to deal with your family well..."

"Family?"

Gu Jianlin was stunned, and turned his head to look out the window.

I saw a very familiar girl in white casual clothes standing outside the window, with a ball head tied up, a mask on her face, her hands on her waist, and a pair of slippers.

Su Youzhu.

Gu Jianlin took out his phone and found that there were already dozens of missed calls displayed on the screen.

Thank you for being the boss of the magic conch! Boss atmosphere! Stay up late tonight to add more!
