The Ancient Gods' Whisper

Chapter 1173 - 546: Rebirth_2

The Candle Dragon Venerable brushed past him, sighed softly with her back to him."So fast."

She wasn't referring to herself.

But to Gu Jianlin.

Because a pitch-black Ghost Fire ignited within Gu Jianlin's forehead, his pupils suddenly deep and abyss-like, a bizarre flame consuming his flesh, standing in the endless blizzard, like a ghost or a god.

Divine Path, Eighth Rank Eastern Emperor, Spirit and I are one.

In this state, the flesh and Spiritual Body become one, constantly devouring the world's Life Force to transform itself, a half-human half-ghost state immune to all external attacks!

"Just now, when you poured Candle Light's ashes into my body, I wasn't doing nothing. Even if I couldn't stop you, I wouldn't just wait for death." Gu Jianlin turned around, his pitch-black pupils devoid of any emotion, his voice becoming hoarse.

That kiss earlier seemed beautiful, but in reality, it had nothing to do with emotion.

The Candle Dragon Venerable merely wanted to pour Candle Light's ashes into him.

Gu Jianlin seemed to be enjoying her kiss, but he was adapting to the newborn power.

As if everything were an illusion.

Those faint emotions didn't exist, they were always scheming against each other.

"Good."

The Candle Dragon Venerable turned around, sneered coldly: "Then let's continue, this is the cage I designed for you, if you can't kill me, you'll be trapped here forever."

A distant rumbling sound emerged from the horizon, a massive dragon's body coiling around the entire world, dark red scales scraping the atmosphere, sparking lightning and thunder, darkness descending with a roar.

This is indeed a shocking scene, marking the difference between Candle Dragon and other Supremes.

In Gu Jianlin's understanding, whether it be Qilin or Vermilion Bird, or the newborn Xi He, their Original States were unimaginably large, yet not infinitely so.

The spirituality on Earth at most allowed them to envelop a city.

In the Milky Way, they could unleash even more powerful self-nature.

Now the Candle Dragon Venerable's Primordial Return nearly encircled the entire world, a phenomenon unimaginable to mortals, because the laws of energy conservation still applied, and Earth didn't have as much spirituality for her to squander unless she could ignore the constraints of distance and devour this Universe.

Wait!

Is that so!

The Candle Dragon Venerable's Authority is limitless, and she possesses the power of time and space.

She indeed seems capable of ignoring the constraints of distance!

This is her strength.

Also her curse!

For some reason, Gu Jianlin saw a fleeting fear in her eyes.

Like a hallucination.

"What does that feel like?"

He suddenly asked.

"Don't talk to me in that tone."

The Candle Dragon Venerable replied coldly: "I'm not your lover, don't care for me."

The woman in front of Gu Jianlin vanished, the sound of whistling wind in his ears, numerous surging blades penetrating his body, tearing through the pale flames, as if trying to shred him apart.

Of course, he didn't feel any injuries, but the state of Spirit and I are one was accelerating in collapse, once those pale Ghost Fires extinguished, he would return to his mortal flesh.

"You're not the only ones who broke through your limits, what Lian and Wang achieved at the cost of life and death, I achieved at the moment of birth. The despair I've sensed over billions of years far surpasses yours, you may have the Authority of devouring, but you cannot replicate my Authority."

Her icy voice echoed in his ears, the terrifying Dragon Roar reverberating between heaven and earth.

Gu Jianlin could vaguely feel the despair experienced by the original Skylark, once trapped within the dragon body encircling the world, being gradually consumed by her own power.

All he saw was wind and snow, snow mixed with chilling blades, resembling a storm.

There was no time; he had to attempt to break through this world.

Gu Jianlin prepared to fully unleash Primordial Return, the Qilin Wedge materialized once more, trembling in his grasp, which he held tightly with both hands, then reversed it to pierce through his own chest.

At this moment, he seemed to hear cold laughter in his ears.

Mocking, indifferent.

Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood, mixed with searing ashes.

"External damage can be immune, what about internal?"

The Candle Dragon Venerable's voice was so cold: "You should have tried your best to stop me from pouring Candle Light's ashes inside you, you know all too well Qiongqi's outcome, or do you think you can surpass It?"

Gu Jianlin fell into a nightmare illusion, he could see his own body turning into a decayed tree trunk, gnarled branches growing from his flesh, flourishing golden leaves spreading out.

His body swelled inch by inch until it eclipsed the sky.

Golden roots pierced the ground, also connecting with the planet's core.

Black lotuses bloomed everywhere!

This is what Qiongqi Venerable had experienced, the Candle Light God seized Its body, using the soul and blood of a Supreme as a medium, allowing the true Primordial to descend.

His genetic spiral structure was crumbling.

No longer resembling a Mobius Ring.

Instead, it looked like an ancient tree.

This ancient tree seemed to symbolize the entirety of the Universe, resembling the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in religious concepts, narrating the paths to God or how God creates the world from nothingness.

Only this sacred pattern was slightly different.

There are eight circles and thirty-two paths.

The arrangement resembled an Inheritance Path.

Gu Jianlin clearly sensed that if this continued, he wouldn't die, but he would never wake up, for his consciousness would completely dissipate, replaced by the Primordial.

By then, whether Vermilion Bird or Candle Dragon, they would have the chance to replace the Primordial once more.

"All is revealed."

An ancient whisper echoed in the darkness: "My child."

In the endless darkness, Gu Jianlin saw a terrifying black sun, within the burning star, a person seemed imprisoned, already charred, crying out in despair.

Primordial!

That is the Primordial!

Few in this world have seen the true form of the Primordial, and at this moment he was fortunate enough to witness it!

Clearly one of the Creator Gods of this Universe, yet appearing in such a twisted and tragic form, not resembling the so-called noble Divine, but instead like an Evil Spirit out of Hell!

With a thunderous roar.

Amidst the swirling snow, a towering Golden Ancient Tree rose from the ground, Gu Jianlin seemed imprisoned within the tree, only his face exposed, sleeping like a baby.

The Candle Dragon Venerable stood amidst the wind and snow, humming a song, her song ethereal and distant.

Like a lullaby of death played for him.

In the glaciers of the Gangdisi Mountain Range, the Vermilion Bird Venerate skated along the rugged ice surface, his blazing wings melting the ice of millennia, causing the mountains to tremble.

"All is revealed; sister cannot be defeated."

He turned around, taking a punch head-on, flying backward like a cannonball!

This Supreme braced himself against the ground to dissipate inertia, the burning wings behind him elegantly unfurled, his fiery hovering stance like the Angels of ancient myth, or Divine descending upon the Earth.

"You chose me as an opponent because you didn't want him to face the situation of father and son fighting, but for him, facing anyone is boundless pain. Because Skylark and Candle Dragon have always been one person, he ultimately has to face his destiny, as we have."

He paused: "You can't protect him for a lifetime."

Venerable Xi He shook her delicate fist, her white hair flowing in the wind, like a heavenly length of three thousand zhang.

"You have the nerve to say that?"

Her gaze was cold, her body entirely golden, shining brilliantly.

"I've said it; he's not important to me."

The Vermilion Bird Venerate said indifferently: "Once the Candle Light Divine Tree is reborn, I can wait another one hundred thousand years, waiting for the spirituality accumulated by the Inheritance Path to restore Itself. How long can you last? You may have surpassed limits, but you cannot change the rules of life. A Supreme reborn cannot be as strong as you are, you've overdrawn your power, and may soon fall into slumber."

Venerable Xi He's fierce gaze unexpectedly held a trace of weariness, as if her soul was about to sink.

She turned, gazing toward the direction of Gangrenboqi Peak, beholding the sight of an ancient tree rising from the ground!

"Are you so certain your sister will win?"

She suddenly said.

The Vermilion Bird Venerate's gaze was indifferent, responding: "After billions of years, she cannot still be that little girl from before. The Candle Dragon Venerable will not be troubled by those emotions."

"Oh really?"

Venerable Xi He asked coldly: "Then what is troubling you?"
