The man smiled.

His smile was not very happy, but there was a hint of lonely relief, as if he had been freed from an eternal nightmare: "Qing and Chi did not misjudge you. Since you have made up your mind, just go ahead and do it."<

/p>

The hoarse voice became weaker and weaker, and his shadow became more and more transparent.

Since Gu Jianlin was promoted to the Holy Realm, his profile has the ability to penetrate into the past and the future. The man in front of him is just a trace of the soul left by the former Supreme, and exists based on the alchemical matrix.

It is similar to the consciousness uploading that humans are trying to conquer today.

Unexpectedly, in the world of the ancient gods, the answer has already been found.

The remaining power of hope has been almost exhausted, and most of the remaining power has been used on the battlefield of Mount Kailash. What is left now is like a candle in the wind, and will be annihilated at any time.

The Ancient Supreme Being is immortal, but He is no longer an Ancient God.

"What happens if we fail?"

He hesitated again and again and finally asked the question.

"The original will be born on this planet, and the spirituality accumulated in the inheritance path will be swallowed by him. It will be difficult for ordinary humans to survive here. If the original is willing, it can enslave all the sublimated people on the earth. As for the ancient supreme, the original

It can even put you into...sleep."

The man stared into his eyes: "The Suzaku who controls the original will become the strongest in history."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "I understand."

The man glanced at him: "Suzaku is very powerful, but it is not without its weaknesses."

Gu Jianlin frowned and said, "Me?"

The man hummed: "Understanding the curse of the Suzaku clan is the key to defeating him. Why did we choose you? Why did he insist on killing you? Because only you can crack this mystery. I said that your existence is also a paradox.

Now that you understand the nature of profiling, you might as well think about when it first appeared."

Gu Jianlin woke up suddenly, with cold sweat dripping from his back.

When he mastered profiling, he had not yet inherited the personality of Qilin.

"Think about this answer clearly before going to Suzaku."

The man raised his hand, and a yellowed ancient book materialized out of thin air and was handed to him.

"What is this?"

"The spiritual genetic code of the Qilin clan."

"What do you mean?"

"The ancient gods are immortal beings. The ancient supreme ones are almost irreplaceable. Only she and I have broken through this shackles in the past. This is a miracle that cannot be copied. If she has achieved me, I have achieved you. But

For the ancient ancestors, they can be replaced, even if their souls die, it doesn't matter, because the marrow can be recreated according to the coding of spiritual genes, only using the bones and blood of the Supreme."

"I remember that the ancestor of the Kui bird was completely dead, right?"

"Yes, but the marrow can create new Kui birds."

"The same goes for the ancestor of the ghost car."

"Gui Che's soul has been burnt to ashes by you. He is no longer in this world."

"You mean, I can create a new ancestor?"

"The premise is that the traitors brought by Qing are completely dead... Of course, you can also kill them."

"Is this your punishment for them?"

"No, this is compensation for you."

Gu Jianlin was stunned.

The man's eyes were filled with pity, looking at the young man in front of him as if he were seeing himself hundreds of millions of years ago.

"Compensation?"

"If someone around you dies, you can try to resurrect them as the ancestors. But don't try to resurrect Qing and Chi. They have no way back and will not accept it. You have to learn how to use the authority of the ancient gods.

If you understand the soul more deeply, you can do it."

"I see, why should you compensate me?"

"You should have seen your own ending."

Gu Jianlin's eyes trembled slightly. The lonely ending in that dream made even him feel fear and despair. He raised his hand and touched his heart, which seemed empty: "Is it inevitable?"

The man shook his head: "This is the greatest sorrow of the ancient gods. From the moment you really open your eyes, you can see the final ending, just like the established starting point and end point. You start from the starting point, no matter how far you go around.

, no matter how much ups and downs we have experienced, the end point will not change at all."

"I give you this power, and I also impose this curse on you."

He paused: "You will be as strong as me, and you will be as lonely as me."

Gu Jianlin took the yellowed ancient book and said softly: "Am I going to die?"

The man smiled silently: "That was an eternal sleep of loneliness...will you regret it?"

Gu Jianlin thought for a while and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can protect them."

Boom.

The door of this ancient palace slammed shut, and darkness spread silently. Candlelights lit up in all corners, illuminating the noble ancient golden coffin, and the girl in the coffin was still sleeping.

"That kid is gone."

The man bent down, touched the girl's golden mask, and said softly: "He is also going to meet his destiny, just like me back then. After so many years, I thought I had changed beyond recognition, but just now

I felt a little unbearable at that moment... Hehe, speaking of it, it’s not like I have no contact with him."

He said to himself: "Well, it's like he has that kind of connection with you."

Of course Lian couldn't answer him, she had already been left behind by the world at the end of time.

I was just forced to stay by the power of Qilin.

"When Qing and Chi conspired this plan with me to take revenge on the world for you, I never came here to tell you. If you knew, you would probably blame me, right?"

The man whispered: "Who would have thought that in the end, I would suffer so much for that child, so much so that I couldn't bear it, let alone them. The reason why Qing fought so hard was because he wanted to atone for his sins, right?"

In the silence, Lian was still sleeping, with vague tears of blood falling on her golden mask.

Those are men's tears.

It is also the release of hundreds of millions of years of loneliness and hatred.

"Now I have to pay the price for my actions and leave this world forever."

The man took one last look at the girl and gently kissed the golden mask's forehead.

The power left by the former Black Supreme finally disappeared, and the last trace of his soul dimmed like an extinguished candle. The feeling of death swallowed him like a tide, but he did not show any fear, just calm.

Accepting this kind of punishment is like returning to the Kirin home star hundreds of millions of years ago.

He was so calm when he thought he was going to die.

He never feared death.

Just afraid of separation.

However, in the end, he and she separated.

The Supreme Master who controls life and death cannot break the boundary between life and death.

They are destined to experience pain and despair, and even be separated forever.

Looking back now, the reason why Lian wanted to save Him at all costs was because she placed all the good things she had on Him. Their blood was blended and their souls were one.

She wants him to enjoy the freedom and beauty of this universe on her behalf.

Enjoy the beauty of being alive.

It's a pity that he was blinded by anger and hatred and saw nothing.

The man murmured softly and allowed himself to be swallowed up by the darkness. Millions of years of memories flashed back in his mind, eventually collapsing into majestic dust. He was released from the cage of despair and hatred, and exhaustion surged like a tide.

When I came up, I felt as if I had returned to the human era, weak but real.

This is what death feels like.

The price that must be paid for abandoning the Supreme Person.

This is also the feeling that Lian once experienced back then.

So good.

It's like I'm still with her.

I just don’t know if it’s an illusion.

At the last moment when his consciousness sank, he noticed someone pushing him from behind. The roar of the unicorn sounded in the silence, piercing the boundary between life and death and echoing in the depths of the universe.
