The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 40 First Order, Commander!

  In the illusory world of darkness, Gu Jianlin once again came to that ancient giant stone altar.

  Over the vast sky, dark clouds rolled, like a turbulent sea, deep and oppressive. Accompanied by howling winds, a bottomless vortex storm was brewing. The midair was full of flying sand and rocks, floating ash.

  The endless wasteland is full of dry cracks, desolate and lonely.

  Countless ghosts wander the wilderness.

   Some are as huge as giants, some are the size of ordinary people, and some are as small as ants.

  There is only one ladder to nothingness, which sinks into the deepest part of the cloud, as if reaching directly above the sky.

  Gu Jianlin stood on the huge stone altar, wearing a white sacrificial attire, covered with black mantras.

  And he is still in the state of ancient deification, with a pitch-black unicorn mask, burning golden vertical pupils, and dragon scales growing all over his body.

   Between his brows, a pale fire of divine sacrifice was burning.

   "This is the place where I became the **** priest. I don't know what kind of space it is, but the only thing that is certain is that it is inextricably linked with the **** priest path."

  Gu Jianlin looked around, but he was also very calm, after all, it wasn't the first time he came here.

  Those ghosts wandering in the wilderness should be sublimators of other gods.

  The size of the stature is mostly related to their rank.

  All the priests are on this path together, seeking the way to heaven.

  Wait, that's not true either.

  Gu Jianlin remembered the gigantic giant he saw when he came to this world last time.

  The man was walking at the end of the ladder to the sky, his back was as high as the sky, blocking all the light.

  The reason why it is night here is because of that giant, blocking all the light.

   "How strong does it have to be to be so huge? Is the path of God the strongest?"

  Gu Jianlin couldn't see that gigantic giant, but he could vaguely feel the existence of that stalwart.

  Where darkness is caused, it is everywhere.

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds, did not continue to look up to the sky, but silently felt the changes in himself, until the spirituality in his body broke through the shackles again, and the roar of the soul sounded in the depths of his mind.

   It's time to advance!

  In front of him, a flame-like pale light lit up, converging into an empty staircase.

  In the real world, it should be possible without the confinement of Venerable Zhulong.

  He took a deep breath and tried to step up the stairs.

   There was a bang.

  At that moment, Gu Jianlin's spiritual consciousness seemed to soar into the sky, and the fire of the **** sacrifice on his forehead exploded.

   His ears sounded, as if deep ravings from ancient times, hiding the mysteries of the universe.

  Those ancient taboos, knowledge belonging to the ancient gods, poured into his mind like a tide!

  Success!

  At this moment, he completed his first step as a sublimator.

  —From now on, he is the first rank, commanding orders.

  ·

  ·

  When Gu Jianlin woke up again, it was already dawn.

  After completing the promotion, his mental state was not so sluggish. Although his spiritual recovery was still very slow, and the feeling of tearing all over his body still existed, at least it didn't affect his actions, and he didn't have to continue to lie on the bed.

"woke up?"

  Lu Zicheng's voice sounded from the side, sounding very tired.

  Gu Jianlin turned his head and was taken aback.

  I saw Lu Zicheng sitting at the table, holding a cup of hot coffee.

  Chen Qing was still in a suit and skirt, standing behind like a secretary, carrying two bags of breakfast.

  The parrot, whose mouth was tied for some reason, stood on her shoulder.

  Gu Jianlin was surprised not because he didn't notice their existence.

   It was because of Lu Zicheng's state, the majestic fourth-level mad king, who seemed to be squeezed dry for some reason, with a dry face and a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his mental state was quite problematic.

   "Are you okay?"

  Gu Jianlin stood up, hesitated for a second: "How about I get up and you lie down?"

  For some reason, Lu Zicheng looked at him with a trace of resentment, waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a nightmare last night. I'm an ancient martial artist, so it's true."

  Chen Qing glanced at him with a stern face.

  Seeing his face full of kidney deficiency, Gu Jianlin always felt that this statement was open to question.

   "I said, I'm fine!"

  Lu Zicheng said with a straight face: "Don't worry about it!"

  Chen Qing glanced at him again.

  Gu Jianlin felt more and more weird: "I didn't want to care about it, what are you in a hurry for?"

   "Who is in a hurry?"

  Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that Lin Wanqiu came to look for you yesterday?"

  Gu Jianlin hummed.

Lu Zicheng yawned and nodded slightly: "Judging from the reaction of the trial court, Lin Wanqiu didn't find out anything. Maybe there will be a few mental tests on you later, but you should be fine. If I don't If you guess wrong, did she still try to let you join her team last night?"

  Gu Jianlin didn't deny it either: "Yes, and she told me that if I can't use those two mythical weapons, she can apply to her superiors and use these two mythical weapons to exchange for corresponding resources."

   "Why not go?"

Lu Zicheng said seriously: "You must know that in the world of sublimators, the most scarce resources for alchemists are priests. Lin Wanqiu must have told you that the most important thing for a sublimator is resources and resources." Logistics. For their team, the captain is a fourth-level Holy Mother, and the vice-captain is a second-level pharmacist."

"This combination itself means resources, because as long as someone asks them to do something, they have to give money. Some things, money can't do it, you have to provide resources. For example, more cost-effective alchemy weapons, promotion materials .”

  He smiled: "Join their team, and you will basically not have to worry about your promotion before the super-dimensional class."

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Is it that important?"

  Lu Zichen shrugged: "You can connect to the Deep Space Network and check out the forum."

  Gu Jianlin took out his mobile phone and connected to the Deep Space Network interface.

   Now that his authority has been upgraded, in addition to personal information and general knowledge inquiries, as well as the resource exchange library, the official forum affiliated to the Fengcheng Branch has also been opened to him.

  He clicked on the forum. Countless posts filled the screen immediately, with all kinds of red headlines.

   "Heavy money to hire a first-level herbal medicine expert for three days, with a daily salary of 50,000!"

   "For a C-level hunting mission, there is an urgent need for a second-level nun, and you can enjoy half of the mission reward."

   "For resource exchange, I urgently need a copy of the Jianzong path, second-level promotion materials, and sufficient budget. If You Are the One."

   "Team recruitment! Urgently need priest or alchemist channel..."

   When Gu Jianlin saw these posts, it was as if he saw the announcement screen of an online game.

   Countless posts.

   Either there is a lack of nurses in the team, or they are stuck at the promotion node, looking for secret medicine or materials.

   Among them, the number of seeking spiritual secret medicine is the largest.

"Did you see it?"

  Lu Zicheng said lightly: "This is the importance of alchemists and priests. If there are no priests in the team, casualties will easily occur. And alchemists determine your promotion speed."

  Gu Jianlin browsed the forum, nodded: "The most posts are about hiring a pharmacist. If a sublimator has a pharmacist behind him, his promotion speed will definitely be much faster than others."

  From the forums, so many sublimators are rushing for spiritual secret medicine, we can see the importance of alchemists.

  However, it suddenly occurred to him that the mentor in the ancient tomb was a fourth-level pharmacist.

   Moreover, it can also refine extraordinary spiritual secret medicine.

   So, behind Gu Jianlin, there is already a big resource man!

   "Yes, that's the truth."

Lu Zicheng smiled and said: "The resources required for level zero are the least, and when you are promoted to level one, the spiritual medicine you need is geometrically multiple. Not only are there many, but you also need promotion materials. Lin Wanqiu's team is The Fengcheng branch has the best resources, especially the alchemist in their team, since the CMJ113 spiritual secret medicine has been out of print, the spiritual secret medicine he has refined can be regarded as one of the best high-quality products."

  He paused: "Don't think that the way of alchemist is that simple. Many people lose control of their minds and become degenerates because of taking inferior spiritual secret medicines."

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, and now he was inexplicably upset when he heard the word "degenerate".

   "And Lin Wanqiu is still a beauty."

Lu Zicheng lazily said: "You really missed the rich woman. I am the captain who just joined the team. I don't have any relationships in Fengcheng. I only have an unreliable older sister. And our Lu family only has Gu Wu and Tian The family of the master way, the alchemist hired a pharmacist, but he is only good at refining super-dimensional spiritual secret medicine."

  Gu Jianlin shook his head: "It's okay, Sister Chen Qing is also a beauty."

   This is a rare time for him to be humorous.

  Chen Qing was always expressionless, but after hearing this sentence, his brows and eyes softened silently.

  She put the breakfast bag on the table, and said lightly, "I'll eat breakfast first, I bought soy milk fritters and tea eggs."

  Gu Jianlin said politely, "Thank you."

   "You kid can talk."

  Lu Zicheng said with emotion: "Actually, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even want to be the captain."

  In fact, both Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing knew that even after completing the assessment task, as a descendant of the fallen, it would be difficult for this child to get along in the Ethernet Association, and he would definitely be excluded in various ways.

  The clown incident is just the beginning.

  Although Lin Wanqiu offered such generous conditions, her purpose was also obvious.

   Armed for myth.

  If Gu Jianlin didn't hand over the mythical weapon, he would definitely not get those treatments.

   And once he surrenders the mythical weapon, he is useless.

  Although independent sublimators are rare, he is not the only one.

   And he is the son of the fallen, the better the talent, the more dangerous it is.

   "By the way, I have something very important to say."

  After thinking about it, Gu Jianlin decided to tell his guess.

  Because, if there is really a ghost in Asgard that infiltrated the human world, it would be too dangerous.

  If left alone, God knows how many people will be implicated.

   "About clowns?"

   Lu Zicheng narrowed his eyes and asked.

  Gu Jianlin hummed: "I got two mythical weapons from him, one of them..."

   "Stop."

Lu Zicheng said calmly: "Don't tell me what the effect of your mythical weapon is, it belongs to you, your secret. Remember, whether you carry alchemy weapon or mythical weapon, it depends on the conditions. Don't tell anyone if you can. The deeper you hide, the safer you are."

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

   "I got some information from the clown."

  He concealed the matter of Qilin Fairy Palace, and said directly: "From his confession, it seems that the person who caused the blood moon massacre was not my father, but someone else."

  Hearing this, Lu Zicheng frowned.

Chen Qing pursed her red lips and said softly: "But for that matter, there are many evidences such as surveillance video, palm print fingerprints, DNA comparison and blood test, and a high-level psychic who was on the scene in person and restored what happened. .”

   In other words, the evidence is overwhelming.

"I know."

  Gu Jianlin paused every word: "But in this extraordinary world, is there a possibility, a certain ability, that can completely imitate or copy a person and replace him?"

  Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing were slightly taken aback.

   "At the time of the blood moon slaughter, my father should have been trapped in the Qilin fairy palace."

  Gu Jianlin said in a deep voice: "I want to know, are there any witnesses to the blood moon massacre? Who investigated this matter? Who witnessed the investigation process? Are these things publicized?"

After a long silence, Lu Zicheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I came from abroad, everything was over. The blood moon massacre incident has been classified and sealed as the highest secret. We can see Yes, only the evidence pointing to Professor Gu. But the scene of the accident has been cleared."

  Gu Jianlin was taken aback, why did the accident scene need to be cleared in such a hurry!

   "I will report to my sister what you said, but she doesn't actually have much power except for the security of the Fengcheng area and the command during wartime."

  Lu Zicheng pondered for a moment: "Besides, you have no evidence."

  Gu Jianlin was silent, this is indeed the most critical question.

  The clown's soul is broken.

   "However, if we talk about witnesses at the time, I think there may be some people."

   Lu Zicheng said.

  Gu Jianlin raised his eyebrows: "The clown's party?"

   "Yes, as long as you find the clown's accomplices, you might get some clues."

Lu Zicheng smiled and said: "Besides, if you don't eliminate the clown's henchmen, you will feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating, right? Even if we promise to protect your family, as long as they don't die for a day, this thorn will always stick in your heart."

   "Exactly."

Chen Qing took out the tablet computer, tapped it twice, and called up a part of the information: "There should be someone behind the clown's backstage, and his accomplices are also fleeing outside. The prefecture of Fengcheng has issued a hunting reward. As long as you can Find the clown's accomplices, there is a high probability that it will prove the conclusion you just made."

  Gu Jianlinxin said it was too right, no matter what, the clown's accomplices must die.

"and many more."

  He was a little stunned: "Do you believe me?"

  Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing looked at each other.

   "Don't you think I'm talking nonsense?"

  Gu Jianlin asked tentatively, "Don't you think I'm messing around?"

Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Why do I think you are messing around? Isn't it normal for a son to want to clear up his father's grievances? What's more, you are the son of Professor Gu. If you don't believe me, who do you believe?"

  Chen Qing said with a smile: "Do you want to trust the court?"
