The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1004 - 472: Are You Ready?
The overcast sky churned with dark clouds, and a torrential downpour descended.
The warriors of the Dawn Combat Sequence braved the heavy rain, placing bodies into body bags and sealing them properly before loading them into the old van. The van was plastered with golden talismans, and even had altar-like ritual tools, while the scent of incense burning faintly wafted through the storm, eerie yet solemn.
Lu Zicheng, wearing a raincoat, called out in the rain, "Move quickly; these bodies are crucial evidence. Remember to seal them with the Corpse Sealing Talisman. Ghost knows if they’ll suddenly reanimate."
Chen Qing rubbed his forehead, carefully sensing the surroundings. One after another, commercial vehicles had stopped at the entrance of the building across the street, the headquarters of Deep Blue Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Reporters, carrying camera equipment, swarmed the place; nearly all were Ascenders, like sharks attracted by the scent of blood.
Tonight was the day the Green and Red Dual Kings held a press conference.
According to the plan, they would use the corpses of the Pseudo Ancestors as evidence to expose the dark side of the Order World, while also promoting Thunder as the rightful successor to the Order World, calling for the world to rise up.
More importantly, the Green and Red Dual Kings planned to disclose the existence of the Third Law to the world.
For Thunder, a perfect being evolved from the human side, to demonstrate the Third Law was undoubtedly the most persuasive. After all, the world was currently turbulent under the shadow of the Bai Ze Clan, and if someone had the power to oppose or even restrain them, it would greatly sway public opinion.
"How ironic,"
Lu Zicheng muttered, a lollipop between his lips, standing under the eave amidst the pouring rain. "My father always said that the order established by the Ether Association was like a prison built with walls, trapping the ambitions of all the world’s Ascenders inside. Thus, the Ether Association cannot show weakness; once outsiders discover its weakness, people will try to topple that wall, and the sky will fall. After the President left, the one holding up the sky disappeared."
"Do these people also want to meddle with the Third Law?"
Chen Qing asked softly.
"That depends on what you define as the Third Law. If it’s the ultimate secret mastered by Xiao Gu, very few have the qualifications to touch it, whether past or future. But if it’s a crude counterfeit like what these guys have, then we could also, but you wouldn’t want to."
Lu Zicheng glanced at the closed old van, "The price of becoming such a thing is a short life. Although they can gain powerful strength in a short time, it’s ultimately just a heretical path. Against those who haven’t mastered the Supreme Law, they might still shine, but they will have no hiding place when facing the real Third Law. Besides, as you saw with Tang Yun’s case, after becoming a Pseudo Ancestor, the lifespan is pitifully short, so they need to be sealed."
"According to the calculations by the Catastrophes Qing and Chi, there should be some significant figures hidden among these people. Whether from the Order World or other nations’ Ascender organizations, they all want to witness the power of the Third Law."
He emphasized, "The eyes of the world will be locked on this place, and there might even be... deities."
Chen Qing was taken aback.
At that moment, a faint rumbling sounded, and the dark realm surged up like a conical light curtain closing with a roar. When the storm passed through, it stirred ripples.
Suddenly, the sound of chains breaking came from within the old van.

At 10:35 in the morning, an old Wuling Hongguang drove down the stormy street, speeding so fast it seemed ready to fall apart at any moment, roaring in the opposite direction of the fleeing pedestrians.
Tang Ling had never ridden in such a vehicle in her life. The Order World’s travel habits always emphasized style, and she herself preferred supercars. Sitting in the van now made her question reality.
"I always feel like we’ve been kidnapped," Tang Yun said expressionlessly. "Are these two really trustworthy?"
Because the two guys cloaked in black in the front were the renowned Dusk duo of fools.
They chose to drive this Wuling Hongguang based on their mutual agreement.
For the sake of being low-key, they said.
Ghost Eye was responsible for driving. He was blind, relying entirely on his companion for reminders.
Xing Yun directed him to turn or speed up and slow down, occasionally raising his fists and shouting, "Do your best!"
Initially, the Tang Family sisters were curious about why the duo didn’t swap roles.
Xing Yun’s answer was, "Ghost Eye is disabled, can’t lead!"
Ghost Eye’s answer was, "Yeah, yeah! Don’t bully the disabled, okay?"
The Tang Family sisters questioned reality on the spot.
"Sis, haven’t they thought that Xing Yun is perfectly normal and could drive himself?"
Tang Yun lowered his voice amidst the jolts, almost ready to vomit.
"They don’t seem normal either. Perhaps they’re just idiots," Tang Ling said coldly.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dent appeared on the roof of the Wuling Hongguang.
Tang Yun looked up, instinctively trying to awaken the power within him, but he suddenly realized he was no longer a Pseudo Ancestor; now he was just an ordinary Sixth-Order Sword Ghost, and still weak from recent recovery.
"So it really has come," Tang Ling also felt the imminent killing intent. She tried to turn around in the cramped space to pick up a cello case, but as soon as she moved, she froze, letting out a soft hiss and furrowing her brows.
