The Old Gods Are Whispering

When Gu Jianlin saw this title, even if he didn't know much about the extraordinary world, he could still figure out some things.

No wonder this artificial intelligence will call him a descendant of Gu's.

It's no wonder that in his childhood memories, the only memories related to family relatives are the mourning hall and the spirit card.

At that time, he was still in elementary school. Because of the discord between his parents, he had been cautious since he was a child, and he studied very hard at school. He never skipped classes, and almost never asked for leave, for fear of making his parents angry.

The few times he asked for leave were all asked by his parents.

"Xiao Lin, your grandpa's birthday, please take a leave tomorrow."

"oh."

"Xiao Lin, your grandma's birthday, please take a leave tomorrow."

"oh."

"Xiao Lin, your second uncle is gone, please take a leave of absence tomorrow."

"oh."

"Xiao Lin, Third Uncle Ni is gone..."

At that time, Gu Jianlin was still young, and almost cast a shadow over Taipei Road Funing Garden.

Every time he passed by, there would be one more tombstone there, and no one told him why.

The composition of Gu Jianlin's family is different from that of other families. There are no gatherings during the New Year's holidays, and the relatives in the family are also superficial. If anyone has news one day, the assignment will be gone.

Co-authored, their family is all sublimators, and they are full of heroes.

The whole family is neat and tidy!

"So, you just used the descendants of the Gu family, is it a euphemism?"

Gu Jianlin said quietly: "Because more precisely, I am the only child of the Gu family."

Taixu smiled and explained: "In order to prevent you humans from feeling uncomfortable and our resistance to artificial intelligence, I will also take care of your feelings. According to your humans, this is called emotional intelligence."

High EQ, you are the only child of the old Gu family.

Low EQ, your whole family will be ruined.

Gu Jianlin didn't know what to say, so he could only move the mouse and click on the document.

"In the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor, Xu Fu returned from his first eastward journey without success. The first emperor was furious and asked him to blame. Xu Fu lied that the sharks in the sea were fierce, and it was difficult for ships to approach the fairy mountain. He had to send good archers to shoot and kill the sharks. The emperor ordered someone who can recruit good fighters to help him hunt and kill big sharks."

"He is a general under the first emperor's throne. When he was young, he fought in all directions, suppressed rebellions, and quelled disasters. He belonged to the Gu family in Langya. In the same year, a disaster occurred on the east coast, and the big shark made waves. Gu stayed on the shore and made great achievements in suppressing the sea chaos. , otherworldly."

"The Gu family experienced dynasties, and their descendants were ordered by the first emperor to search for the footprints of immortals in the mountains and seas. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, they entered the Fusang Shrine by mistake. Since then, they have been tortured by curses for generations, and their old age is unknown... ..."

"This kind of curse is weird and unpredictable. All members of the Gu clan, without exception, will die strangely between the ages of forty and fifty. It is suspected that they have encountered some kind of mysterious event related to the ancient gods. The specific circumstances are unknown."

"In 1979, Gu Qingcheng and Li Nianci, the last descendants of the Gu family, settled in Fengcheng. They tried to sever the curse of Gu's bloodline, and adopted three children from an orphanage to continue the family inheritance. However, it turns out that the Gu family still failed to escape the abyss of the curse... ..."

When Gu Jianlin saw this, his scalp tingled.

It turns out that in the history known to ordinary people, some secret details have been erased.

If the emperor who is sleeping in Lishan is a demigod sublimator, then what he is after is definitely not the so-called immortal medicine, but the secrets about the ancient gods!

Come to think of it, what Xu Fu was ordered to pursue should be the ancient gods.

The Gu clan, probably the so-called scholar-bureaucrat clan in history, has been a sublimator background since their ancestors, and has been secretly active for thousands of years, until they were cursed at a place called Fusang Shrine.

The clansmen died one after another.

This curse has continued from ancient times to today, and it has been fulfilled on everyone.

Gu Jianlin didn't have any impression of his grandparents, mainly because they all died too early.

Only now did he know that his father and the others were adopted.

According to this file, the grandparents should have died of a curse shortly after adopting their father and uncle.

As for the father and the others, they grew up dependent on each other. Although they were adopted, they still couldn't escape the curse.

They died one by one.

This kind of curse does not seem to continue with the bloodline, but really wants to drive you to death.

Gu Jianlin continued to look at this file, and the mouse slid down.

"Gu Qingcheng, a sixth-level sublimator, who passed the ancient martial arts path, died of the turbulent flow of supernatural elements at the age of forty-nine."

"Li Nianci, a fifth-level sublimator, a pharmacist, died of drug out of control at the age of forty-six."

"Gu Cijiu, a third-level sublimator, passed by Shensi, died in a cliff accident at the age of forty."

"Gu Cixin, second-level sublimation, sword sect path, the cause of death is unknown, at the age of forty-two."

At present, this file only retains the information of the modern Gu clan.

Gu Jianlin's pupils flickered, almost every accident was an accident.

A coincidence of a coincidence can no longer be a coincidence.

There must be someone manipulating it.

For no reason, Gu Jianlin thought of the terrifying silhouette he saw before he was seriously injured.

That monster-like thing that looks like a ghost car.

When Gu Jianlin saw this, his blood ran cold.

In the middle of the night, the cool sea breeze blew in, making him shiver.

He did not expect that behind his family was a family of sublimators with a long history.

What he didn't expect was that all members of the family died because of the curse.

Dad has been busy all year round, probably to lift the curse...

So regardless of his wife or son, he didn't even want to solve the case.

Perhaps he knew it when his uncles died.

Neither father nor son could escape this fate.

"In other words, if the curse is not lifted, I will die too."

After a long time, Gu Jianlin asked softly, "I won't live to be forty, right?"

Taixu replied: "Theoretically yes."

Gu Jianlin thought to himself that the small open space in the cemetery was really reserved for himself.

He held back for a long time and asked, "Will it affect my current family?"

Taixu replied: "We have not been able to figure out the logic of the curse so far, so we have no way of knowing."

Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead: "Can you be a little more unlucky?"

Tai Xu was silent for a second: "Yes."

Gu Jianlin: ...

"Gu Ci'an, the sixth-level degenerate, the way of the celestial master."

"Suspected to be polluted by the ancient gods, the mental state is severely out of control, and one of the instigators of the blood moon massacre!"

"Wanted range: worldwide."

"Level of danger: Alpha level."

"Target Status: Dead!"

Gu Jianlin's pupils trembled.

"The Ether Association has been trying its best to help your Gu family lift the curse, but there has been no progress for many years. In order to find a way to lift the curse, your father entered the Qilin Immortal Palace, and in the end his spirit was polluted and he became a fallen person. "

Taixu asked humanely: "The group led by Gu Ci'an ran wild and out of control. Fortunately, those who were slaughtered by them were all degenerates with polluted spirits, but they still severely damaged the key projects of the Ethereum Association. Call it a blood moon massacre."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment: "What is a fallen person?"

A file popped up on the computer screen, which was the information about the fallen.

In evolution, there is often variation, which is an eternal law of life.

Not everyone who ascends has the qualifications to advance. Since ancient times, many people will lose themselves on the way forward, or they will be infected by the power of the ancient gods, which will cause their spirit to mutate and degenerate into monsters.

Talented people will not lose themselves, and can resist the erosion of the ancient gods, unless they are willing to fall for power.

Often high-level sublimators have almost zero chance of falling.

And some people are inherently weak in spirit and will, and are extremely prone to degeneration.

The Ether Association's assessment from time to time is to screen out some people who are at risk of corruption.

"Take Li Changzhi as an example. Before he lost control, he used to be a public official of the Fairy Palace project. However, when mining the remains of the Kylin Fairy Palace, due to his own desires and various reasons, his spirit was polluted and he was severely polluted. out of control."

Taixu paused: "Later, your father was severely injured in the blood moon massacre incident, but he managed to escape."

Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead and sighed quietly.

All right, Lao Gu.

If you have the ability, you can really do it.

In fact, that Li Changzhi was already very dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that he was immune to mental hypnosis with the power of the unicorn, there was a high probability that he would not be able to win.

Moreover, the mutation displayed by the magician in the dying state was as terrifying as an alien.

Gu Jianlin felt that even if there were fifty of himself, it was not enough for the other party's teeth.

Gu Jianlin asked in confusion: "My father is a high-level sublimator, why did he lose control?"

"We don't know."

Tai Xu replied: "Perhaps your father violated some kind of taboo in the Qilin Immortal Palace in order to lift the curse, and fell down voluntarily."

Gu Jianlin instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It was raining heavily that day, and he was waiting for his father to come back at the airport.

Although his father was in a hurry that day, he bought him some clothes and a brand new Switch.

You can talk and laugh along the way, and you can't see that you are out of control.

Back when his parents hadn't divorced, the man would have to talk about killing a fish for half a month.

Mom often thinks he is useless, but now he has become an out-of-control degenerate.

The paradox is that the Fallen are mad and aggressive.

Take Li Changzhi as an example, this guy went mad after a few words, and his IQ plummeted.

But the day my father had an accident was no different from the past.

It's suspicious.

"I want to see the evidence."

He said in a deep voice: "If possible, try to have a detailed accident report."

Taixu said politely: "Entry search is in progress, please wait a moment."

After a while, she replied: "Sorry, reserve investigator, Gu Jianlin. Your authority is insufficient, and you have no right to view related events."

Gu Jianlin wiped his face vigorously and slumped on the chair.

It seems that the matter about Lao Gu is a high-level secret in the Ethereum Association, and ordinary people have no way of accessing it.

"What kind of authority is required to be eligible to view this matter?"

Gu Jianlin asked weakly.

Taixu searched again for a while, and replied: "Sorry, your authority is insufficient, and you have no comment."

Gu Jianlin took a deep breath, and his blood pressure surged upwards.

Taixu smiled and said:

"As you can see, this is the world of sublimators. According to the instructions of my superiors, I will confirm your own opinion on whether to include you in the Qilin Fairy Palace project. If you agree, you will become the last batch of sublimators. After the assessment and training Obtain the opportunity to enter the Qilin Immortal Palace to open up wasteland, and compete with sublimators from all over the world for the opportunity to advance. If you refuse, you can practice in this world."

Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "Is there any difference?"

"The resources of the sublimator world are all obtained from the ancient gods, while the resources of the real world are almost zero."

Tai Xu patiently explained: "Take your uncles as an example. They awakened very early, their talents were slightly insufficient, they were always practicing in reality, and they failed to advance to the fourth rank until their death. And your father awakened after marriage, even if In this way, he still relied on his talent to win the opportunity to be promoted in the ancient gods, and he was infinitely close to the seventh-level sanctuary."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly: "In layman's terms, the strong are in the Ancient God Realm, and the weak are in the real world."

Taixu replied: "Yes."

Gu Jianlin said seriously: "I agree to join the Qilin Fairy Palace Project."

There is nothing to say about this. People go to high places, and water flows to low places.

If his life was a book, then once he chose not to enter the Ancient God Realm, no one would probably read it.

Taixu confirmed: "Are you sure? You awakened late, no matter you competed with the same period or entered the ancient god world, you will be slightly insufficient. And you don't have a rich resource background, so you can't improve quickly in a short period of time. It's a fatal thing."

Gu Jianlin asked calmly, "Will he die?"

Tai Xu replied: "This possibility is not ruled out, life is a matter of one's own, no one can protect you for the rest of your life."

Living is a matter of one person, which is really good.

Gu Jianlin said again: "I agree to join, I have nothing to say."

At this time he thought of one thing.

When he traveled to the Qilin Fairy Palace, he was imprisoned in a coffin.

If you use another way to enter, I don't know if you can get rid of the tomb and the shackles of Venerable Zhulong.

"Very well, this is the end of the novice tutorial."

Taixu resumed the official tone: "Then next, we will register your information into the database."

"Name: Gu Jianlin."

"Sex: Male."

"Blood type: Type O."

"Date of Birth: August 13, 20xx."

"Talent classification: self-sublimation."

"Inheritance path: Divine Division."

"Level: Level zero."

"Merit: 100."

"We will send you a gift package for newcomers soon."

"Ding, the gift package for newcomers is ready, please click to download."

"The assessment trial is about to start, and the task is being dispatched."

"Ding, your assessment trial is a high-risk hunting mission - the target, the first-order fallen, code-named clown!"

"This mission is a multiplayer gathering mission. You can participate by investigating, cooperating with the hunt, assisting in killing, etc. The deep space will judge your merits based on your performance. Currently, the number of participants in the mission is 72."

"Good luck."
