The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 12 The so-called Inheritance Path

  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 the ancient gods and ascendants, and the secrets of another space-time dimension, he would never know how his father died.

  Some things just passed so unclearly.

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

   There is no way to seek justice from anyone.

  He hesitated for a long time, and 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 light of the sky, and there was silence: "He was killed."

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

"right."

   After a long silence.

  Gu Jianlin clenched his palm silently, staring into the other person'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 violate the confidentiality regulations of the Ethereum Association."

  He hesitated for a moment and said, "And you may not be able to accept the truth."

   Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "Whether I can accept it or not is up to me. If I can, I would like to know how I can be qualified to be told the truth about this matter? Is it okay to join the Ethereum Association?"

  The other party said that he is a rare self-awakened person among seven billion people, and he is valuable.

   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 **** 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: "The pig teammates you meet when you play games will also know who is the thigh. All the heads of the wild monsters in the army 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: "Heartbeat? 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 two people alive today."

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

   Gu Jianlin felt a little puzzled, and couldn't help but said, "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.

  Inheritance path, he has heard this term many times.

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

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

  Alchemist, Magician, Witch, Ancient Warrior.

  Each 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 saw before.

   I am afraid that 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 also 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 fierce.

  The phantom of the huge and burly ancient warrior was full of oppression like a demon god. The terrifying power and cold killing aura were as overwhelming as a storm. Even after two hours, I still remember it vividly.

   Gu Jianlin almost had a cardiac arrest just by taking a look.

"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 capable of fighting. We master 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, swordsmen in the East, and the unpredictable Ghost Slayer, a paladin who is born to be a human shield..."

   It's 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 pondered 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 to make fire since then."

"The vast majority of sublimators have seen that world, through complex mysterious rituals, and the residual will of the predecessors, leveraged 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 asylum."

  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 path of inheritance 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 you discarded some food every day, and a mouse accidentally ate that piece of meat, thus becoming the strongest one in the group."

   "Of course, sublimators are not mice. We do have the qualifications for evolution. 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 has 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 **** servants who are directly selected by the gods, and above the **** servants, there is another category."

  Gu Jian Linjing was waiting 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 **** servants and ancient gods, their life levels are different from ours. You say they are Carbon-based organisms are also true, but they are really something else..."

  Gu Jianlin thought of the unicorn in his mind for no reason, but he was very vigilant and didn't say 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 members 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 dozens of missed calls displayed on the screen.

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