The Ancient Gods' Whisper

"Omega Sequence, B-level Investigator Gu Jianlin, invites you to join the Guardian Sequence."

"Do you agree?"

Her beautiful eyes widened as she watched the scene, her pupils trembling.

How could it be like this.

"Could it be... this little guy is also one of the Supreme's people?"

Lin Wanqiu felt a chill down her spine, her mind racing with countless scenarios, all of which she forcibly suppressed.

She couldn't let her imagination run wild anymore—these things had nothing to do with her.

Without hesitation, Lin Wanqiu clicked "Agree," and was instantly enveloped in a tremendous sense of security.

Praise the Supreme!

However, as she looked at the twilight outside the window, she let out a soft sigh, picked up the phone, and said, "Dr. Liu, I'll be heading to the Ancient God Realm for a mission soon. I'll leave the hospital in your hands—please make sure to take good care of these patients. Especially those Unclean ones from the shelters."

"Whatever you do, don't let them get bullied again, or else the 'Chair-Killer Maniac' might storm in and tear our hospital apart. Oh, and that pollution filtration device is ready for use; please pay special attention to that little girl named Wanwan—she's pitiful… deduct the treatment fees directly from my account."

She smiled faintly.

On the other end of the call, Dr. Liu froze, his tone laced with disbelief: "Captain Lin, are you sure? This treatment plan will cost a few million. Can your savings handle this?"

Lin Wanqiu rolled her eyes and said, her voice taking on a coquettish tone, "What do you know? I'm heading to the Immortal Palace this time; I'll need to rely heavily on that handsome little guy. Gotta butter him up so I can come back alive, you know?"

Dr. Liu teased, "I see… you're really sparing no expense."

Lin Wanqiu huffed, "If he weren't uninterested in me, I'd even consider sleeping with him..."

A massive Qilin Floating Island blotted out the sun, plunging the world into darkness.

When Gu Jianlin regained his vision, he was greeted by sweeping, howling yellow sand and ancient, majestic stone structures. They resembled palaces where giants might reside, dotted with enormous, eerie stone statues.

He stood within an ancient giant stone array, sporadic flashes of aurora-like light streaking across the sky.

Investigators were emerging from the matrix.

It felt like a revival spawn point.

In the process of pioneering the Ancient God Realm, people established their own civilizations here.

Weaker factions set up black markets.

Those slightly stronger formed tribes.

And the truly powerful ones directly conquered cities of the Ancient God Clan, claiming them as their own.

It's said that when the Ether Association built Dawn City here, they had to clear out a staggering sixty thousand living corpses.

Commander Lu of the Dawn Combat Sequence personally led the army, nearly flattening the tide of living corpses. He even clashed with several Ancient Ancestors, battling for nearly half a month before fully conquering the area.

Since then, this became the Ether Association's base in the Ancient God Realm.

The Heavenly Person Realm above their heads was resplendent, like a sun suspended in the heavens.

But Gu Jianlin felt deeply uncomfortable. Though the Breathing Technique was enhanced here, his spirituality had long since reached its limit, and the effects of the Realm of Freedom were constant and didn't require amplification.

How annoying.

"Brother Lin! Over here, over here!"

He saw a chubby guy wearing a headscarf waving at him, dressed like an Arab.

Cheng Youyu.

Nie Xiangsi, wearing a hood, stood beside him, smiling warmly as she waved at Gu Jianlin.

"You two are here too."

Gu Jianlin walked over, nodding slightly: "Where's Zhang Cheng?"

"Oh, Brother Cheng went back home to get married. His parents aren't in great health and want to hold their grandchildren soon."

Cheng Youyu rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling as he clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Lin, you won't believe this, but Xiangsi and I have both advanced to Third Rank—and we've become Omega too! We're counting on you to look out for us from now on!"

Nie Xiangsi smiled faintly and explained, "Because of the unexpected incident in the Returning Burial Forest last time, we lost quite a number of elites. And after yesterday's battle with the You Ying Group, many low-tier Omegas were severely injured and forced to withdraw. So the two of us were promoted unexpectedly and are now part of the Third Tier."

Gu Jianlin thought, So that's how it is. "Wait, you fought the You Ying Group?"

"Yeah, over Ancient God's Blood. The fighting still hasn't stopped."

Cheng Youyu said, "It's a total free-for-all. They even sunk the Bren Hill. The battle continued until this afternoon, and then they entered the Ancient God Realm through the West Port entrance. They're still at it."

"My uncle has been coordinating our forces, and he hasn't slept for a whole day and night."

Nie Xiangsi added, "This is a direct conflict between the Ether Association and the You Ying Group."

"Serves them right!"

A parrot squawked loudly.

Seeing the odd expressions on their faces, Gu Jianlin quickly covered the bird's beak and changed the subject, "I'm here today to redeem a Mythical Weapon. Where's the Omega Sequence's resource vault for those?"

"What a coincidence!"

Cheng Youyu slapped his thigh. "Xiāngsi and I were just about to exchange some materials. Let's go together."

Nie Xiangsi curiously asked, "How many merits do you have?"

Gu Jianlin had almost forgotten about this. He pulled out his phone and checked the Deep Space Official Website.

"What the hell!"

The parrot's eyes widened: "Seventeen thousand!"

Gu Jianlin was stunned: "How's it that much?"

"Brother Lin, stop flexing on us like that."

Cheng Youyu winced, a toothache-like expression on his face. "How many Ancient God Seeds' nests have you raided to get that much merit?"

Nie Xiangsi shook her head. "Even that wouldn't result in so much merit."
