The Old Gods Are Whispering

Gu Jianlin faced the darkest moment in his life, but he saw the sun again.

That was the back figure that stood in front of her at some point. She was ordinary in stature but as tall as the sky. She was as fierce and brilliant as the rising sun. Her white hair was flowing in the wind, as if she were three thousand feet tall.

This scene seemed familiar in my dream, as if it was a similar scene when they met for the first time. The most powerful person in human history stood in front of him with a supreme and domineering attitude, forcibly illuminating the endless darkness. , holding up the sky.

She clenched her fist, with the burning sun gestating in her palm, and punched out!

It's still a delicate fist, but the roar penetrates the world!

The fragmented sunlight exploded, and even though Lord Suzaku protected his face with intertwined hands, he was still blown away like a cannonball. The extremely cool power spread like fire, and his noble body was almost carbonized and emerged. Shocking cracks.

He rested his hands on the ground to remove the inertia, and just released a wave of spiritual thoughts to protect his body, but a ray of sunlight falling from the sky penetrated his right shoulder, causing pain as if his soul was being torn apart.

It was more than just sunlight, it was clearly a spear of Yang Yan condensed into substance!

The second path, the third path, the fourth path, and even the tenth path!

Rays of pure sunshine fell from the sky, and Lord Suzaku had no choice but to dodge and move in the storm-like offensive, bursting out with a stormy wave of mental thoughts to block it!

His left hand was torn, the corner of his eye was slashed, his black hair was singed, and his heart and lungs were penetrated!

It was an ability that he had never seen before, and it did not belong to any known method. He felt as if he was in an endless hell of sunfire, and the scorching heat was going to burn him out.

Boom!

His pupils were filled with pale turbulent elements, and dark clouds gathered in the barren sky.

That is the ability of the Heavenly Master Path at the eighth level, and its name is Divine Tribulation!

His right hand was raised to the sky, as if to grasp the terrifying energy gathered in the clouds.

It was at this moment that the domineering god roared over, grabbed his wrist, grasped a sun with his other hand, broke the air, and smashed into his lower abdomen!

Boom!

Suzaku was blasted into the sky, its wings that covered the sky fluttered and spread out, dripping with blood!

The domineering god turned around, and countless rays of sunlight tore through the silent space and time, rushing towards the beautiful silhouette, and the earth along the way was burned to ashes.

Sunlight penetrated the atmosphere, and Lord Zhulong was torn apart on the spot, dissipating like a reflection in water.

The criss-crossing sword light flashed through, effortlessly cutting off the sunlight falling from the sky. Time and space suddenly collapsed, swept up by the turbulence of the dimension, and finally disappeared as before.

Accompanied by the roar of the dragon, Venerable Zhulong was forced to stay away from the tree and floated high in the sky.

With one against two, the two ancient supreme beings were forced back!

This is something that has never happened in human history.

No, that person may not be human anymore.

The newly born god raised her head and looked at the two supreme beings standing side by side in the sky. On her forehead was a scorching mark like the sun, and the majestic red phoenix eyes were filled with flames!

Lord Suzaku had seen this woman before, knew her name, and even fought against her. She should have died long ago, but she was miraculously reborn.

Her appearance is still familiar, but the power she possesses feels extremely strange.

"Your title."

Venerable Zhulong looked down from a high position, his strange blood-red vertical pupils filled with lightning and thunder.

The newly born god turned around without hesitation. Every time she took a step on the barren land, she would leave traces burning like lava and spurt out scorching sun flames.

"Taihua, or...Ji Zhou."

She paused: "According to your understanding, he should be called... Venerable Xihe."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness South" says: "Beyond the southeast sea, between the sweet waters, there is the country of Xihe. There is a woman named Xihe, who bathes in the sweet water."

Xihe, the sun goddess in ancient mythology and the goddess who sets the calendar, is the oldest image of the sun in the world, and is also the most pious and original sun worship among primitive tribes.

The ancient book that records the strange wills of gods and ghosts cannot predict the future, but the most powerful person who has completed her self-evolution found a corresponding description for herself in the myth. She took the title of Xihe and achieved the supreme position. , reborn as a god, looking down upon the world!

This is theoretically impossible, but it just happened.

Venerable Suzaku's eyes were deep and he finally saw through everything: "It turns out that the Supreme Being who is to be born on Earth is you, and you are the one chosen by this planet!"

Venerable Zhulong rolled up his long, ink-dyed hair, with a cold smile on his eyes and brows.

She is laughing at herself because she has seen through the rules of this universe.

Originally, no new ancient supremes would be born in this universe, because those planets capable of giving birth to gods were killed by the power of the third method and became death stars.

The earth is different, it was the incubation place originally prepared for itself.

This means that this planet is already qualified to give birth to the Supreme, but because of the original interference, the person who should have been chosen has not appeared for a long time.

Now that the original will was terminated, He was finally born.

Taihua, she is the one who should be chosen. This result is unexpected but reasonable, because she is the purest and strongest life that has been born on earth for 4.5 billion years, and she is also the one who inherits the will of order in human history. The last master.

Maybe Qing and Chi can do it too, but they traveled through time and space to the age of the ancient gods by chance in their early years, and because of their obsession with power, they transformed themselves into artificial supremes.

As for Gu Jianlin, he was not human in the first place.

Only Taihua has this qualification.

Candles illuminate one genus, the venerable Xihe!

"No, not like that."

Taihua's voice echoed in the silence like thunder.

Gu Jianlin's silent pupils were illuminated by the sun, but he didn't feel any stinging pain, and the voice echoing in his ears was not majestic, but gentle like a spring breeze.

Like a distant nursery rhyme.

He remembered.

When he encountered a crisis in Penglai Xiandao, his body almost died, and the faint singing sounded in his ears, and he was suddenly not afraid after listening to the song.

No matter how dark it is.

Or how violent the storm was.

"I thought that death was my end. I was ready to be betrayed by the world. Being killed by my own students was the ending I chose for myself, and it was also my punishment for killing my husband. I shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world. My mission is to end the curse of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree at the cost of my life."

Taihua said softly: "In this way, I can also get rid of the burden that I have carried for more than 400 years as I wish. I am worthy of my ancestors, worthy of the sages of the past...but I only owe this silly boy."

Even a woman as strong as she is will be heartbroken when the world betrays her.

When the whole world misses her, she will be alone when she dies.

When suffering from the curse, it also suffers.

Fortunately there is you.

Taihua and Qingchi have been trying their best to conceal his identity all the time, but he just exposed the power of the gods because of his anger, and he is not afraid of the abyss or the flood.

In the end, the big boy forced himself out of the sky, was chased and killed by the ascendants all over the world, was betrayed by the most intimate woman, and came in front of her despite all obstacles.

In the end, what Taihua saw was not the eternal fruit, but her salvation.

She could have taken the Immortality Fruit and started over as an ordinary person.

But there is a good saying.

Man is the sum of all social relations.

At that moment, Taihua suddenly felt that there was no point in starting over.

The husband is dead, the children are gone, and the former comrades-in-arms are also dead. You have been a guardian for four hundred years. Will an ordinary life really make you happy?

Are you still yourself without those people?

How do you feel when you see that boy standing in front of you after all the hardships?

Do you still keep your promise to him?

How can a person who has no strength protect him.

What if you are no longer here and he is bullied?

So Taihua stayed, with the strongest posture.

She left her last breath of life in the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree and fell into a deep sleep.

That prayer bead is the key to awaken her.

Just like she promised.

When you are greatly wronged.

When you can't bear the unbearable weight of life.

When you are most desperate and helpless.

I will be back.

In fact, Taihua had glimpsed the ending of the future before she died, and knew what the poor child would face in the future, but she never thought that even with sufficient psychological preparation, she would still be overwhelmed by the monstrous anger... When she After witnessing everything in the tree.

Her sadness and anger also broke through the limit.

The planet finally responded to her will and gave her supreme power.

Taihua returns as the Supreme.

Just like Gu Jianlin redeemed her.

At the end of the story, Gu Jianlin was also redeemed.

At first, he also slept under the golden tree, but when he woke up, he lost the elder.

Now he is still leaning against the golden tree, about to fall into a deep sleep again, but this time he clearly knows that he will never wake up again: "Grandma, I have to go."

Everything remains as before, as if they were still there when they parted.

Only this time, he was the one who was going to leave.

Even if there is reluctance, there is no power to return to heaven.

What's more, he really wanted to sleep this time.

Not tired to sleep, but satisfied eternal sleep.

Gu Jianlin felt the temperature close at hand, but he could no longer see the shining woman in front of him clearly. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, but at the end of his life, he was finally relieved.

"I don't want you to die."

Grandma's voice was still so fierce and domineering, conveying unquestionable majesty.

Taihua raised his hand, and a palm fell on the top of his head.

It was like thunder.

It's like a breeze blowing.

This scene is very similar to the method of empowerment in Zen legends.

Taihua is the most devout Buddhist believer in the world. She practices Buddhism not because of feudal superstition, but to feel the Zen and calm her heart.

Although no one knows what she realized to teach those lunatics and killers.

There was a bang.

Gu Jianlin closed his eyes, and an extremely bright glow flowed from his whole body, soaking every inch of his skin like running water, soaking into organs and bones, and nourishing his soul.

The broken body was healed and the broken soul was reborn.

The majestic spirituality spurts out, moving towards the eighth level realm!

This is an incredible move, at least this kind of miracle has never happened in history.

Taihua didn't show any signs of fatigue, his majestic and murderous eyes were full of endearment.

As if it was her child.

Flesh and blood are close relatives, and souls are connected.

"That's your authority, it's amazing."

Venerable Suzaku did not stop this process, and said calmly: "Your birth made Father God's awakening almost impossible. At least on Earth, it is impossible for Him to wake up. In this case, it is a good thing that he survived , at least we can make a break."

If it were the villain in an ordinary story, he would be hysterical and roaring with rage.

Because the plan of hundreds of millions of years is ruined, everyone will collapse.

But for the gods, this is nothing.

Because He has endless life, the worst he can do is find another planet and start over.

Earth itself is a miracle.

But there may not be a second miracle in the vast universe.

However, Venerable Zhulong just hummed the song called Innocence and Evil, as if he was in a trance.

Taihua raised her right hand, and the wedge of heaven and man fell into her hand. Like a relic, the transparent and round beautiful jade flowed with scorching light, but there was no breath of candlelight.

Because it has become a wedge belonging to the Seventh Supreme.

"The last time you fought against me, you succeeded in a sneak attack because I didn't see through your identity back then, and let you stay by my side for so many years, so that you learned so much."

She raised her serious eyes and said, "It won't be that easy this time."

The pupils of this supreme being suddenly turned into a burning sun, and the spreading flames were like wings across the earth, surging up to the sky and reaching the highest point of the world.

"You are indeed my forerunner in this new life of mine."

Lord Suzaku knew that the opponent she had chosen was him, and said calmly: "Please."

Accompanied by the chirping of birds, the red bird that blocks out the sun is entrenched in the sky.

Taihua is suspended at the extreme end of the sky, and an ancient and murderous half-body god illuminates half of the sky. His eyes are like burning torches, flowing with hot glow like magma. Ten sun-like stars surround the whole body, opening a Dao's stern and terrifying pupils.

That was her mythical gesture.

Xihe!

And the path derived from it is called...Zen Buddhism.

Venerable Candle Dragon looked at the two supreme beings facing each other above the sky. There was no emotion in her bewitching and charming eyes. She hummed softly and walked barefoot on the burning ground.

Even though the boy under the tree was sleeping, she had no intention of taking action.

Even after Xihe was born, she was still the strongest Supreme.

Yuanyuan is dead, she has her own way.

Endless ashes fell from the withered Candle God Tree, but the ancient and majestic Candle Dragon was entrenched on his body at some point, and the intertwined dragon bodies seemed to devour him.
