The Omegas were speechless with shock, not expecting that they would actually win in the end.

It's terrifying.

Anyone who knew the origins of this group understood one thing clearly.

Each black-robed figure harbored the spiritual gene of an Ancestor within their body.

In other words, they existed much like Human Pillar Powers.

Their combat power was extraordinarily terrifying.

At the same rank, it was almost impossible to have rivals.

This Tang Yun appeared to be a Fifth Rank Sword Soul, but in reality, an Ancestor still lay dormant within him.

Unexpectedly, even so, he was still defeated.

So strong!

This young man is truly remarkable.

None of the Omegas present had any confidence they could defeat him.

Even Mu Qingyou, ranked second among the Omegas, felt a chill in her heart at this moment.

"Hahaha, you were arrogant? Keep being arrogant?"

Ji Xiaoyu laughed loudly, "What's so great about this?"

The black-robed figures, upon seeing the situation, prepared to step in.

"Don't move."

Gu Jianlin said coldly, "I don't care who you are."

Whether it was because the young man's ferocity was well-known or they feared his identity,

The Pseudo Ancestors from the Lishan Tiyan Pavilion actually didn't take a step forward, instead maintaining a safe distance.

Gu Jianlin turned his head to the young girl, speaking calmly, "Let me ask you again, who is Tang Ling to you?"

Despite the severe pain in his shoulder, Tang Yun did not resist momentarily and confusedly said, "She's my cousin?"

Gu Jianlin frowned, "Why do you sound uncertain about your own cousin?"

Suddenly, a black-robed person stepped forward and spoke expressionlessly, "Because she recently underwent fusion, sometimes she can't distinguish who she is, and her memories and emotions may become disoriented."

The moment he spoke, an invisible mental wave spread out, isolating most of the people.

The expressions and movements of those Omegas seemed to freeze, completely isolated outside.

Only Gu Jianlin and the black-robed figures were unaffected.

"My human name is Ji Ye, you can call me that."

This black-robed figure took off the hood, revealing herself as a woman, quite handsome, with neatly combed hair tied into a neat ponytail, gloved hands folded across her chest.

The black-robed figures stood behind her, saying nothing.

"What did you say?"

Gu Jianlin asked, expressionless, "You mean Tang Ling will also become like this?"

Ji Ye replied, "No, she won't, because she is more advanced than us. Essentially, she is also an Evolver with unlimited potential, but she made compromises to integrate the power of the Heavenly Person. If she completes her life-and-death barrier, then she will still be herself while mastering both the Heavenly Person and the Evolution Path, as a leader in the Human World."

Gu Jianlin recalled the profile he had once done on that girl—it was indeed different.

These Pseudo Ancestors had a strong sense of dissonance.

Two different faces stitched together.

While Thunder showed no dissonance, it was like two differently dressed versions of herself.

"What if she fails?"

Gu Jianlin asked coldly.

Ji Ye replied, "Death."

The sharpness in Gu Jianlin's eyes intensified, the word "death" startling him.

He hadn't anticipated that the girl bore a curse of death.

Just like him.

"Do you care about her?"

Ji Ye asked calmly, "I didn't think someone like Thunder would have friends. So it was you who went with her into the Sea of Eternal Life. You are the one we were looking for. Currently, Thunder is preparing for the critical life-and-death barrier and must not be disturbed, so we've come to you."

"We've answered your question, and I hope you can answer ours."

She paused, "This is very important."

Gu Jianlin narrowed his eyes, remaining silent.

Ji Ye took out a blueprint from her backpack and handed it over, "If you don't understand alchemy, I can explain it to you. The alchemy matrix that blocked the retreat in the Sea of Eternal Life has a unique name: Rebirth. In the civilization of the Ancient God Clan, those who step in either gain new life or have their life forcibly taken."

"This alchemy matrix has twelve nodes, with the core node guarded by Tai Zhuo. According to our investigation, Tai Zhuo's awakening is due to the matrix continuously supplying Him with life force."

She emphasized, "Such a vast amount of life force is enough to fully restore Him to the Holy Land Level."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

Especially by the following sentence.

"Before Tai Zhuo fell asleep, he was just one step short of being a Demigod according to human power levels."

Ji Ye said solemnly, "With your combat power, you have no chance of defeating Him. Even a Holy Land Level Ascender might not gain the upper hand against Him, because Tai Zhuo can continuously draw life force from here."

Gu Jianlin thought that if not for the attempt by an Ancestor to forcibly invade his mind and inadvertently attracting Old Monster's attention, which eventually awakened Jiuyin, they would most likely be dead now.

Even if he underwent Ancient God Transformation, Kui's lethal strike would leave him no path to survive.

But what this Pseudo Ancestor said made him feel something was increasingly wrong.

If this Pseudo Ancestor's words were true, even without Kui Dragon Ancestor's intervention, they wouldn't have survived.

"I am Holy Land Level, but I am not confident I can defeat Tai Zhuo."

Ji Ye replied, "There are only two possibilities for your survival: either someone incredibly powerful is protecting you, or for some reason, Tai Zhuo has become extremely weakened."

Gu Jianlin contemplated these two possibilities.

The first one was clearly not the case.

As for the second, wait!

He suddenly thought of something.

Back then, Old Gu left behind a Night Watcher's coded message, which hadn't been erased.

Within the bronze palace, there were only three living beings.

Tai Zhuo.

Tang Zijing.

And one Divine.

If Tai Zhuo's revival was indeed tampered with by someone,

Then the main suspect is only one person.

"Tang Zijing."

He murmured softly.

In the silent conference room, the big shots gazed at the image on the projection screen, falling into an eerie silence.

For the members of the Ether Association, most of them were already numbed to it.

After all, he was a student of the King of Qing.

If you said he couldn't win, that would be strange.

After all, the whole world could call the King of Qing a madman, but no one could doubt his combat prowess and vision. Unless the old man had a stroke due to being in the Air Force, he would never choose a weakling as his successor.

Especially since this is the final heritage of the King of Qing.

There was a considerable likelihood that his talent was even stronger than his teacher's.

Bai Mu fell into silence, and even though he was a Pseudo Ancestor with no human emotions left, he still felt extremely surprised and shocked, with a distinct sense of discomfort deep inside.

It was as if he had been stepped on again.

He raised his head, looking at the stern and formidable woman across from him.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Taihua retracted her gaze expressionlessly and said lightly, "This is Qing's student, the youngest one, and also my grand-disciple. I currently don't have much time to train him, and he's still fledgling, as weak as a paramecium."

"Code name, Qilin."

She smiled slightly, "Quite interesting, isn't it? My intention was, once Thunder takes over the position of President, to lift the restriction of Catastrophe from assuming power and let him, as a Catastrophe, be responsible for external wars."

Bai Mu said in a low voice, "Qilin... Was that the All Heavens Divine Thunder earlier? You handed that to him? Back in the day, you couldn't step onto the Evolution Path, so it seems you're passing this heritage on to him. Although this child hasn't mastered the All Heavens Divine Thunder profoundly yet, he must not have studied long, right? Using it so skillfully, his talent is astonishing."

"Hmm."

Taihua nodded slightly, but her hand kept tapping the table.

Those familiar with the President knew this was the old lady's inner struggle.

Because Taihua knew very well when she had taught him the All Heavens Divine Thunder.

Altogether, it must not be more than five minutes.

This does not include the time he found out the tome had a hidden compartment.

Most likely, the kid just took a glance.

"Is this the joy of Qing?"

Taihua pondered for a moment, due to the uniqueness of the Ancient Forbidden Curse, each Ascender could only choose to master a few, and finally constructs their own Holy Land to break through.

Learning too many would make their Holy Land mixed and thus weak and flimsy.

She decided to keep this kid away from those junk forbidden spells.

It's best not to let him even glance at them.

Besides that, there was another extremely important matter.

"Pass down my order: if this kid comes looking for Ji Zhou later, tell him he's not there."

Taihua said lightly, "Thunder's matters are not his concern."
