The Old Gods Are Whispering Chapter 431

  Chapter 431 You are my child

  On the eve of dawn, the inexhaustible morning light illuminates the barren world.

  Accompanied by the sound of the dragon roaring through the sky, a blood-red ancient dragon fell to the ground and exploded into mandala petals that withered in the sky, just like the miracle performed by the bad woman once, time and space violently turbulent.

  Following down was a pitch-black unicorn. His stalwart body dissipated like mist, and a thin figure came out of the black mist, staggering, as if he would fall down at any moment.

   At this moment, two figures approached in an instant, one on the left and one on the right to support him.

   "Are you okay?"

  The two of them said in unison.

  Tang Ling raised her awe-inspiring eyes, and silently looked at the strange yet familiar face of the other party. Her delicate and cold face was as white as snow in the morning light, especially those eyes were like a piece of transparent ice.

   She has seen this face before, at Xiao Gu's house.

  It wasn't until the other party's identity was revealed that she figured out some problems that she had never been able to figure out before.

  Su Youzhu's mask had been shattered in the battle long ago, but she never expected to meet this so-called rival in love here. Those awe-inspiring eyes seemed to hide the edge of a sword, with a kind of sharp-edged beauty.

  They were all surprised, but in a blink of an eye they suddenly realized.

   If Gu Jianlin was going to rescue the president, he would only bring his most trusted people with him. They thought they were the only ones qualified to accompany him, but turned out to be clowns instead.

   But it's okay, one more person means more combat power.

  They are all sensible girls, and they won't care about these things at this time.

Gu Jianlin coughed up a mouthful of blood. He supported the ground with a unicorn wedge. His physical strength and spirituality were on the verge of exhaustion, and his spirit was already in chaos. It brought a great burden, but fortunately there was no such severe pain, otherwise he would probably have died.

   His eyes went black for a while, and his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out.

   Naturally, there is no way to answer the girls' questions.

   There was a click.

  His body collapsed, and countless scars emerged, staining the white shirt red.

  He ignited a sacrificial fire with both hands, devouring the vitality around him as much as possible to heal his wounds.

  The pupils of the girls narrowed slightly, and only then did they realize how much he had been injured in the battle just now.

  The damage received after casting the original return will be fed back to the main body!

  How did he survive until now?

  Su Youzhu's eyes were quick, and he fed a bottle of blue blood into his mouth, felt his heartbeat and pulse skillfully, and after confirming that there was no major problem, he wanted to pick him up.

"Let me do it."

   Tang Ling blocked her expressionlessly, seeing the girl's hesitation, said calmly, "Height."

  Su Youzhu frowned. With her height of 1.55 meters, it was really difficult to carry a boy who was more than 30 centimeters taller than herself. It was not because of her lack of strength, but because of the difference in size.

   If you want to force it, it is not called memorizing, but dragging.

   It is ugly and inconvenient.

   "I'll find the way."

   There is no other way to do it now, she pulled out the Tiancongyun sword and turned around, suddenly froze.

Because at the end of this ridge, an ancient golden tree piercing the sky and the earth is hidden in the deepest part of the cloud and mist. The so-called morning light is just a glimmer of light falling from it. The dry ground is covered with hideous cracks, faintly glowing with hot golden color The texture is like intertwined tree roots.

  The endless ridges are dyed brilliant gold, and the towering trees are so bright.

"So lovely."

  Tang Ling said softly as she walked on the rugged mountain road with the tired boy on her back.

  Gu Jianlin forced himself to raise his head, looked in the direction of the candle shining on the sacred tree, and suddenly remembered something.

   "Curse."

   he whispered.

  The girls were terrified.

   Logically speaking, candles illuminating the sacred tree are cursed.

  Since the president disappeared, no one has suppressed the Candlelight Divine Tree, and the power of the curse has spread to the entire Ancient God Realm. Even demigod-level sublimators cannot avoid it and will be affected.

  Jiang Chunyang is a good example.

   Originally, this guy was tortured by the curse, but after the Zhuzhao Divine Tree revived, he became even crazier.

   "There are dead bodies here!"

  Su Youzhu looked at a dead tree. There were corpses lying around under the tree. It was obvious that they were the advance troops of the Aether Association. They came to explore the secrets of the Candlelight God Tree, but they died here.

   "There are traces of fighting, it was attacked by someone."

  Tang Ling glanced at it, and made a conclusion based on the profiling that she had just learned: "Huh? No."

  Su Youzhu said blankly: "This is cannibalism."

  These two girls are proficient in profiling. Although they are not so magical, the most basic judgment is still correct. This group of people did not die from being attacked, but from killing each other.

  They all thought of one thing, curse!

   "Can you feel the whisper in your ear?"

   Tang Ling asked suddenly.

  Su Youzhu shook her head.

This is a very strange thing. Obviously these people are killing each other because of the curse, but they can't feel anything. When they come here, they can even feel a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Bathed in the warm golden light, they seem to be able to hear To the sound of morning bells and evening drums, there is a sense of Zen in a trance, a thousand-year-old temple.

etc!

  They suddenly thought of something, and ran towards the ridge at the same time.

  This mountain ridge is unimaginably large, and even the sublimated person will have to work hard to climb it.

   The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more corpses there are.

   Without exception, they are the advance troops of the Ether Association.

  Many of them have Omega members.

  They all eventually died in this mountain range, some by cannibalism, and some by suicide.

   No one knows what they saw in the curse, but the ending is destined.

die.

   Instead, I reached the middle of the mountain, but I couldn't see the corpse.

  Because no one can climb here.

   Other than that, there is no danger anymore.

   There are no ancient gods.

   There are no ancient ancestors who died and came back to life.

   None of those scary old gods.

Nothing at all.

   "Put me down."

  Gu Jianlin suddenly said softly.

  Tang Ling turned her back to him calmly, pursing her red lips.

  Su Youzhu didn't say anything, but felt the tremor in his voice.

  They climbed all the way to the top of the peak, and the golden light flooded over.

   Bright as a sunrise.

There is no such a majestic ancient tree in the world anymore. The crown of the tree has long been hidden in the sky. The trunk is as bright as gold, but as transparent as jade, reflecting countless peaceful and sleeping faces. Under the tree sits a white-haired man. A pale woman, her face is so majestic and majestic, yet so pale.

  She was bathed in golden light, her body became more and more transparent, as if she was about to leave this world.

  President.

   She's really here.

   She is not dead!

"I come."

  Gu Jianlin got down from behind the girl, staggered to her side, and tried to touch her.

  Just the moment he touched her, he heard overwhelming roars.

   A terrifying vision appeared before his eyes.

  It was an old man soaked in blood, strangled his throat tightly, and roared.

   "Taihua! Why did you betray me!"

  In just a moment, the violent coercion hit his face, like a thunderbolt exploding in his mind, he seemed to have fallen into the deepest depths of hell, kneeling on the ground powerlessly, in great pain.

  The girls subconsciously wanted to help him up, but were stopped.

"Do not touch me."

  Gu Jianlin was sweating profusely and out of breath: "Curse, the curse of the candle lighting the sacred tree."

A desperate **** appeared in front of his eyes. It was an ancient ship stained red with blood. The blood moon reflected the face of the old man like a ghost. There were countless ghosts behind him. Heartbreaking.

  At this moment, he finally experienced the despair of the old ghost of the Jiang family.

  The curse of the Candle Illuminating God Tree is really not something ordinary people can bear. He seems to let you see the most terrifying nightmare deep in your heart, making you hallucinate all the time, until it tortures you to the point of insanity.

   And he was only because he touched the President.

   This is not Gu Jianlin's own nightmare, but the president's.

   "Why did the president appear here?"

  Su Youzhu asked with a frown.

   Tang Ling thought of a possibility, and her pretty face changed slightly.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Because this is what she really wants to do. She risked her life to come to the Ancient God Realm, not to prevent Chi's resurrection, nor to kill Jiang Chunyang. She knew that she had The deadline is approaching, and the only thing that worries her is perhaps this candle lighting the sacred tree?"

  The best evidence is the corpses under the mountain.

  The curse of the Candle Illuminating God Tree should have become more and more intense, but now it has no effect on them.

   Then there is only one possibility.

  The president came this time to solve the curse of the Candle God Tree.

   She once said that she was suppressing something.

  Thinking about it, there is only this kind of curse.

  The Scarlet King once said that they practiced the Youying Law at the beginning because it was safe enough.

  The ghostly lotus has been killed for many years, so practicing the law derived from him will not have any worries, otherwise all the evolutionaries will become monsters and become nutrients.

  The Zhuzhao Divine Tree is different. There are always problems in this evolutionary chain, but there is a pillar, so the celestial beings can practice safely and will not be affected.

  The pillar is naturally the President.

   "Is there a possibility that the President has been enduring this curse for two hundred years?"

  Gu Jianlin said softly: "It's like Jiang Chunyang... No, it's a million times stronger than that."

  When he said this, his voice was trembling.

  Jiang Chunyang was almost insane just by being touched by the burnt ashes of the roots of the Candlelight God Tree.

  As the Supreme Leader of Candlelight Law, the President has a closer relationship with the Divine Tree.

   As a matter of course, you have to bear a thousand times the curse.

  If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

  Maybe this is the reason.

  You have gained unparalleled power, so you will bear the most terrible curse in the world.

   It seems fair, but no one in this world can afford such a price.

  Even with Gu Jianlin's will, he couldn't do it. Now he can't even hold on for a minute in this senior's nightmare. If he was to go on like a day for two hundred years, he would have gone crazy long ago.

  It's hard to imagine how this woman stayed awake under the horrible curse, endured such heart-piercing pain, and silently supported the progress of the whole world. You don't even know how proud she is, to bear such a heavy burden without saying a word, even if she is misunderstood by the world, she doesn't even bother to explain.

   Her calm and breezy appearance, her indifferent and cold posture.

   Does she really not know pain?

   Where is the supreme position here.

   This is clearly the most terrible curse in the world.

  It's ridiculous that her students thought she was greedy for the Supreme, so she planned the murder.

  If you are really greedy for the highest position, why don't you practice the law of Youying.

   "No wonder."

Tang Ling's eyes were blank, and she murmured: "Over the years, the Ethereal Association has banned the spread of Youying's law, but the power of heaven and man is no longer open to the outside world. The power of order has been weakened a lot because of this, and many people think that the president is arbitrary. , unwilling to spread the power of heaven and man. Now it seems that she has difficulties."

  Su Youzhu also understood, because she also deduced another characteristic of the supreme law.

   Nutrients!

  Youying law needs nutrients.

   Candlelighting the law also needs nourishment.

  The more people there are in this evolutionary chain, the more nutrients they will bring.

   Correspondingly, the curse will become more and more intense.

  Youying law is safe and sound because the corresponding holy object has died.

   Candles illuminate the law because the President alone bears all the curses.

   That is to say, the more celestial beings there are, the stronger the curse will be, and the heavier her burden will be!

  She is not unwilling to pass on the power of heaven and man.

  It is more than enough but not enough.

"So this is ah."

   Gu Jianlin said in a low voice.

  The curse that should have been borne by future generations is all carried by the president alone.

  Perhaps every time Gu Jianlin uses Tianrenhua, the one who hurts is this woman.

  But he didn't know it, and even used this power recklessly.

  His hands were deeply embedded in the ground.

  Remorse for your ignorance, hate your own stupidity.

  The President knows that every extra celestial being will bring a heavy burden to her, but she still passes on this power to him, just to let him have one more means to live well.

   What an irony.

  She gave everything for this world, but what she got in return was such an ending.

  The breath of the president is already very weak, and even her heartbeat and breathing have stopped. She is so quiet that she seems to be asleep. Her body is becoming more and more ethereal, as if it is about to melt into the golden light.

  Gu Jianlin took out half of the fruit from the Qilin Wedge, his hands trembling.

  The Scarlet King once said that even half of such a strong power of life and death is enough to kill human flesh and bones. It is a medicine that is a hundred times stronger than eternal bone. He will not lie about this kind of thing.

  When he took out this fruit, the crystal clear flesh dissipated like mist.

   Only the jade-like round nucleus was left lying in the palm of his hand.

  The mist filled the air, covering the sleeping woman and the trembling young man.

  Gu Jianlin had an extremely strong spiritual vision phenomenon in front of him. He saw a black **** in the burning sea of ​​fire, and a fruit in his palm was melting and dissolving, turning into a vast mist.

   Someone is lying on a burning altar, pale faces illuminated by lightning and thunder.

  The **** gently raised a black cross iron sword to cut his finger, and smeared his blood on the brow of the other party. An ancient song sounded in the dark, like hundreds of millions of dead souls chanting in unison.

  Their figures in the flames are so ethereal, as if they came from hundreds of millions of years ago.

  Gu Jianlin vaguely understood something. He took the unicorn wedge and cut his finger, and smeared the blood on the woman's forehead. Suddenly, the mist trembled and engulfed her figure like a sea tide.

  Gu Jianlin was also shrouded in a dream, as if he was immersed in the annihilated past.

   Tang Ling held her breath, she saw that this was a vital ceremony.

   It is life or death, in one fell swoop.

  Su Youzhu was also watching this scene, and she felt that the world was turning upside down.

   That's the law of life and death!

   "The shade of Huaihuai, disgusted with separation."

  Taihua put his hands behind his back, looked at the calm Mediterranean Sea, and said softly: "It's really ugly."

  There is a bar on the coastline, and the blood-stained brother helped him up, abandoning the wine and barbecue on the table, staring at the back in the sun, planning to escape at any time.

   "Look at how cowardly you two are, I didn't come to kill you."

  Taihua raised his hand, ordered a waiter to deliver a metal box to them, and said indifferently: "This is your supplies for the remaining half a year, and what you lack, the materials for promotion."

  Young Qing and Chi looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

   "What's so strange? You are my children, why should I watch you die?"

  Taihua sneered: "Don't be moved, but if you two are still a little bit filial, then do one thing for me."

   Silence lasted for a moment.

"What's up?"

  Qing and Chi asked softly.

   "Help me kill your teacher."

  Taihua spoke surprisingly, like a thunderbolt suddenly exploded.

  Qing and Chi were shocked.

   "The Divine Candle Tree has awakened, and the power of the curse is spreading, and he can't bear it at all."

  Taihua said softly: "He... is not the same as before."

  Seagulls flapped their wings and flew away on the shore. The woman looked at the sparkling sea with a look of loneliness in her eyes.

  At this time, she seemed to feel something, and was slightly taken aback.

   At some point, a boy sat beside her, watching the ebb and flow of the tide quietly with her.

  Taihua was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

  The decayed ancient ship was deeply embedded in the glacier, and the blood moon was scarlet and demonic.

  Under the moonlight, the blood-stained and ferocious face of the old man was illuminated.

"Feel sorry."

  Taihua pulled out the iron sword vigorously, watching the old man gradually lose his breath and heartbeat in his arms, the howling wind on the ice sea was so cold, as if it could freeze her heart.

   She raised her head, golden tears shed, and the whole world shook with a bang.

  It seems to be welcoming the birth of a new king.

  But she didn't feel joy at all, she could only feel heart-piercing pain.

   Not just the sudden curse, but also the unspeakable heartache.

  In a trance, someone came to her side, silently put on a dress for her, then turned and left.

  She raised her head, but there was no one in front of her eyes.

  The wind and snow were still bitingly cold, falling on the black cloak.

  The sharp-edged snowflakes blended into her pupils.

  In the dark room, the porcelain and tea sets on the desk were swept to the floor and smashed to pieces.

Taihua endured the torment of the nightmare in pain, with black hair hanging loose and bloodshot eyes, this pillar of the human world is curled up in the corner of the sofa like a child at this moment, trying not to make a sound, because she What she represents is the will of order, and she cannot let people see her weakness and weakness.

  She seems to have returned to the ice sea covered by the blood moon.

  The dead husband and former comrades-in-arms returned from **** and angrily accused her of betrayal.

   Cut her to pieces.

  Her breathing became more and more heavy, and the golden color in her eyes became more and more fierce, and she couldn't restrain her terrifying roar.

  The breath of heaven and man is about to be detonated.

  At this time, someone put a hand on her shoulder.

  The sword edge whizzed past, and all those nightmarish ghosts were cut off.

  Taihua woke up like a dream, and at some point there was an extra cup of hot tea in front of her.

  A black crossed iron sword lay horizontally on the table, and the silent boy was cleaning up the scattered debris on the ground for her until the study was cleaned, then nodded to her, pushed the door and left.

   Over the years, Taihua has had this dream many times.

   There is always such a big boy appearing in the dream.

  Taihua doesn't know whose child this is, and why he can appear by her side in her loneliest moment, either to put a dress on her, or to make her a cup of tea. Most of the time, he still didn't say a word, just sat beside her silently, watching the sunrise and sunset with her, his eyes were equally lonely.

  Every time she tried to talk to him, he disappeared like a reflection in water.

  Taihua has experienced life and death many times, but only when this boy leaves, she will feel sad.

   But she wasn't afraid.

  Because we always meet.

   During her next curse attack.

  He always shows up on time.

   Rain or shine.

  Taihua really wants to ask who you are and why you are by my side. Aren't you afraid of me?

  Why do you come and go in such a hurry, why are your eyes so lonely?

  Since you're so lonely, do you want...to be my child?

  Gu Jianlin stretched out his trembling hand, and the woman in front of him dissipated like a mirror, and finally melted into the brilliant golden light. Accompanied by the sound of morning bells and evening drums, it turned into a peaceful meditation.

  He didn't know what was going on, obviously he had already prepared the ceremony.

   also brought the fruit of reversing life and death.

  He tried his best to break out of the encirclement, why still can't change the ending.

  Great anger and powerlessness enveloped him, and his grief and anger spewed out like a volcano.

  Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood and crumbled.

   I don't know if it's an illusion.

   Someone gently stretched out a finger and pressed it between his eyebrows.

   "So that person is you."

  Gu Jianlin raised her head and saw a gentle smiling face. Her white hair seemed to have fallen three thousand feet.

  His tears flowed down unconsciously, as if he had seen a miracle.

   "Don't cry, remember my agreement with you."

Taihua said softly: "I will not leave, I will always guard you, when you are wronged by the sky, when you feel that you cannot bear the weight of the world, when you are most desperate and helpless, I'll be back."

  She paused: "Because, you are my child."
