The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1048 - 492: Secrets

Professor Cheng lifted his head, his gaze becoming deep, his voice hoarse: "Qilin Venerable?"

Gu Jianlin didn’t need any proof, he simply turned the Qilin Wedge horizontally, handing it over to him: "This is the Qilin Wedge, I believe with your insight, it shouldn’t be difficult to recognize it. Many in the Order World think I’m an ancestor-level Ancient God, but they have been mistaken all along."

Professor Cheng gazed at the ancient, stern black iron sword, the cross-like hilt was grimly fierce, the long sword body flowed with faint, indistinct talismans, and the blade shimmered with a cold light.

He attempted to touch it with his fingers, and heard faint whispers beside his ear.

This was a precursor to spiritual pollution.

"I am Supreme Level."

Gu Jianlin’s voice was like a stone dropped into a lake: "You should have seen me use the Ancient Divine Language."

During the prolonged silence, Professor Cheng raised his head, his eyes slightly trembling.

In fact, he had not only seen it, last night he was awakened by the safety ban, hurriedly rushing to the Deep Space Technology Building, extracting samples from the damaged building, and researching all night in the lab.

The purpose was to investigate the origin of this Ancient Divine Language, comparing it in the database.

Unfortunately, the Qilin Clan in history was a mysterious Divine Race, the only remains found today are early civilization ruins of Chu culture, most ancient books and artifacts have been lost, making it difficult to verify.

Now, he knew the answer.

"If you need, we can find a place to verify it."

Gu Jianlin calmly said.

"No need."

Professor Cheng silently digested the explosive information, the boy before him seemed like a monster, making him feel eerie: "But I don’t think you are that black Supreme."

"In fact, I am also searching for the real answer."

Gu Jianlin retrieved the Qilin Wedge, expressionless said: "Senior Brother said, you know everything."

Professor Cheng lifted his thermos cup, took a sip of water: "I do indeed hold some secrets, have held them for many years."

Gu Jianlin looked up, inquiring: "I’m curious, if Senior Brother once stood before you, why didn’t he learn the whole truth? Someone like Senior Brother, there’s no reason he’d give up."

Professor Cheng gave him a deep look: "Which Senior Brother are you referring to?"

Gu Jianlin’s gaze suddenly changed.

"Those who want to investigate the matter seldom meet good ends, even Qing and Chi almost died back then, let alone others. In the earliest times, Mr. Jing once stood before me, held a knife to my throat, forcing me to reveal everything. But at that time, I too was investigating some old matters, couldn’t give him the answer."

Professor Cheng sat on the chair, leisurely said: "Later, another person who should have died came before me, also asked questions related to the matter, yet I still couldn’t provide an answer. Mr. Ji didn’t give up, instead he investigated deeply, ultimately disappeared without a trace, never related news again."

A storm raged in Gu Jianlin’s mind, he softly said: "I thought Second Senior Brother died in..."

"Netherworld? That’s just a means to fake death and escape, considering the identity of that gentleman, if he didn’t find a way to hide himself, how could he possibly touch the truth of that matter?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Professor Cheng said indifferently: "Students of Qingshou share a common trait. Mr. Jing was a result of early Candle Dragon Clan research on the Third Law, unfortunately the method was completely wrong. Mr. Ji was an experimental subject of the Bai Ze Clan many years ago, also a complete mess. Although the experiments failed, they created some abominations, this pair of Senior Brothers have broken human limits, oddly formidable, comparable to Qing and Chi of old."

"I always knew you had issues, after all, your surname is Gu."

He sighed: "But I didn’t expect this answer to be so shocking."

Gu Jianlin also digesting such a vast amount of information, after a long while, staring at him, indifferently said: "I am the third person standing before you, do you plan to say nothing this time?"

Professor Cheng gave him a meaningful look: "If I say nothing, what will you do?"

Gu Jianlin considered: "Then I’ll come again when I reach Holy Land Level."

Such an ordinary response, yet the temperature in the classroom suddenly dropped, and an overwhelming murderous intent spread.

Professor Cheng’s rank was Eighth Rank, Ancient Martial Path.

When Gu Jianlin advanced to Holy Land Level and returned to kill him, no one could stop him.

It’s rather, at that time, except for demigods, anyone he wished to kill wouldn’t be difficult.

If the Qilin wants to kill you, you’d better pray you suppress him by at least one major rank, otherwise even with mastery of the Third Law, you’re very dangerous, since his status could effortlessly crush you.

If not, then you can only fend for yourself.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you now?"

Professor Cheng raised his eyes, a suggestive smile tugged at his lips.

Gu Jianlin glanced at him, indifferently said: "You’re old."

Nowadays, there are very few people able to kill him, his various methods make dying rather hard.

Besides looking at rank, one must also consider status.

Plus, Professor Cheng indeed aged, his combat power was discounted.

Because this old man, clearly older than both Teacher and Uncle.

Probably from the President’s generation.

Professor Cheng paused, suddenly said: "Besides not having uncovered the truth back then, partly I wanted a good end, partly also to protect those reckless young people. Since you’re Supreme, this is an unavoidable calamity, I have no reason to hide from you."
