The old gods are whispering

Chapter 40 First Order, Commander!

In the illusory world of darkness, Gu Jianlin once again came to that ancient giant stone altar.

Clouds rolled over the vast sky, deep and oppressive like a turbulent sea, accompanied by howling winds, brewing a bottomless vortex storm, flying sand and rocks in mid-air, floating ash swaying.

The endless wasteland is full of dry cracks, desolate and lonely.

Countless ghosts roam the wilderness.

Some are as huge as giants, some are the size of ordinary people, and some are as small as ants.

There is only a ladder of nothingness leading to the sky, submerging into the deepest part of the cloud, as if reaching directly above the sky.

Gu Jianlin stood on the huge stone altar, wearing a white sacrificial attire with black mantras all over it.

And he is still in the state of ancient deification, with a pitch-black unicorn mask, burning golden vertical pupils, and dragon scales growing all over his body.

Between his brows, a pale fire of divine sacrifice was burning.

"This is the place where I became the god priest. I don't know what kind of space it is, but the only thing that is certain is that it is inextricably related to the god priest path."

Gu Jianlin looked around, but he was very calm, after all, it wasn't the first time he came here.

Those ghosts wandering in the wilderness should be sublimators of other gods.

The size of the body is mostly related to their rank.

All the priests, together on this path, seek the way to heaven.

Wait, that's not right either.

Gu Jianlin remembered the gigantic monster he saw when he came to this world last time.

That person was walking at the end of the ladder to the sky, his back as high as the sky blocked all the light.

The reason why it is night here is because the giant object blocks all the light.

"How strong does it have to be to be so huge? Is the path of God the strongest?"

Gu Jianlin couldn't see that gigantic giant, but he could vaguely feel the existence of that stalwart.

Where there is darkness, it is everywhere.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds, did not continue to look up to the sky, but silently felt the changes in himself, until the spirituality in his body broke through the shackles again, and the roar of the soul sounded in the depths of his mind.

It's time to advance!
In front of him, a flame-like pale light lit up, converging into an empty staircase.

In the real world, it should be possible without Venerable Zhulong's confinement.

He took a deep breath and tried to climb the stairs.

Boom.

At that moment, Gu Jianlin's spiritual consciousness seemed to soar into the sky, and the fire of the god sacrifice on his forehead suddenly exploded.

It sounded in his ears, as if a deep raving from ancient times, hiding the mysteries of the universe.

Those ancient taboos, knowledge belonging to the ancient gods, poured into his mind like a tide!

It worked!
At this moment, he completed his first advancement as a sublimator.

——From then on, he is the first rank, commanding orders.

Almost at the same time, he realized a brand new ability.

And it is an ability specially used for fighting.

Ghostly!

When Gu Jianlin woke up again, it was already dawn.

After completing the promotion, his mental state is not so sluggish. Although his spiritual recovery is still very slow, and the feeling of tearing all over his body still exists, at least it does not affect his actions, and he does not have to continue to lie on the bed.

"woke up?"

Lu Zicheng's voice sounded from the side, sounding very tired.

Gu Jianlin turned his head and was taken aback.

I saw Lu Zicheng sitting at the table with a cup of hot coffee.

Chen Qing was still in a suit and skirt, standing behind like a secretary, carrying two bags of breakfast.

The parrot, whose mouth was bound for some reason, stood on her shoulder.

Gu Jianlin was surprised not because he didn't notice their existence.

It's because of Lu Zi's state, the majestic fourth-level mad king, who seems to be squeezed dry for some reason, with a dry face and a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his mental state is very problematic.

"Are you okay?"

Gu Jianlin got up and hesitated for a second: "How about I get up and you lie down?"

For some reason, Lu Zicheng always looked at him with a trace of resentment, waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a nightmare last night. I'm an ancient martial artist, so it's not false."

With a stern face, Chen Qing glanced at him indistinctly.

Seeing his kidney-deficit appearance, Gu Jianlin always felt that this statement was open to question.

"I said, I'm fine!"

Lu Zicheng said with a straight face: "Don't worry about it!"

Chen Qing glanced at him again.

Gu Jianlin felt more and more weird: "I didn't want to care about it, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Who's in a hurry?"

Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that Lin Wanqiu came to look for you yesterday?"

Gu Jianlin hummed.

Lu Zicheng yawned and nodded slightly: "Judging from the reaction of the trial court, Lin Wanqiu didn't find out anything. Maybe there will be a few mental tests on you later, but you should be fine. If I don't If you guess wrong, did she still try to let you join her team last night?"

Gu Jianlin didn't deny it either: "Yes, and she told me that if I can't use those two mythical weapons, she can apply to her superiors to exchange these two mythical weapons for corresponding resources."

"Why don't you go?"

Lu Zicheng said seriously: "You must know that in the world of sublimators, the most scarce resources for alchemists are priests. Lin Wanqiu must have told you that the most important thing for a sublimator is resources and resources." Logistics. For their team, the captain is a fourth-level Holy Mother, and the vice-captain is a second-level pharmacist."

"This combination itself means resources, because as long as someone asks them to do something, they have to give money. Some things, money can't do it, you have to provide resources. For example, more cost-effective alchemy weapons, promotion materials .”

He smiled: "Join their team, and you will basically not have to worry about your promotion before the super-dimensional class."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Is it that important?"

Lu Zicheng shrugged: "You can connect to the Deep Space Network and check out the forum."

Gu Jianlin took out his phone and connected to the Deep Space Network interface.

Now that his authority has been upgraded, in addition to personal information and general knowledge inquiries, as well as the resource exchange library, the official forum affiliated to the Fengcheng branch has also been opened to him.

He clicked on the forum.Countless posts filled the screen immediately, with all kinds of red headlines.

"Heavy money to hire a first-level herbal medicine expert for three days, with a daily salary of [-]!"

"C-level hunting missions, there is an urgent need for a second-level nun, and you can enjoy half of the mission reward."

"For resource exchange, I urgently need a copy of the Jianzong path, second-level promotion materials, sufficient budget, and if you are the one."

"Team recruitment! Urgently need priest or alchemist channel..."

Seeing these posts, Gu Jianlin seemed to see the announcement screen of an online game.

Countless posts.

Either there is a shortage of nurses in the team, or they are stuck at the promotion point, looking for secret medicine or materials.

Among them, the number of seeking spiritual secret medicine is the largest.

"Did you see it?"

Lu Zicheng said lightly: "This is the importance of alchemists and priests. If there are no priests in the team, casualties will easily occur. And alchemists determine your promotion speed."

Gu Jianlin scrolled through the forums and nodded: "The most popular post is hiring a pharmacist. If a sublimator has a pharmacist behind him, his promotion speed will definitely be much faster than others."

From the forum, there are so many sublimators rushing for the spiritual secret medicine, it can be seen the importance of the alchemist.

However, he suddenly thought that the mentor in the ancient tomb was a fourth-rank alchemist.

Moreover, it can also refine extraordinary spiritual secret medicine.

In other words, behind Gu Jianlin, there is already a master of resources!

"Yes, that's the truth."

Lu Zicheng smiled and said: "The resources required for level zero are the least, and when you are promoted to level one, the spiritual medicine you need is geometrically multiple. Not only are there many, but you also need promotion materials. Lin Wanqiu's team is The Fengcheng branch has the best resources, especially the alchemist in their team, since the CMJ113 spiritual secret medicine has been out of print, the spiritual secret medicine he has refined can be regarded as one of the best high-quality products."

He paused: "Don't think that the way of alchemist is that simple. Many people lose control of their minds and become degenerates because of taking inferior spiritual secret medicines."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time. Now that he heard the word "degenerate", he felt inexplicably upset.

"And Lin Wanqiu is still a beautiful woman."

Lu Zicheng said lazily: "You really missed the rich woman. I'm the captain who just joined the job. I don't have any relationships in Fengcheng. I only have an unreliable older sister. And our Lu family only has Gu Wu and Tian The family of the master way, the alchemist hired a pharmacist, but he is only good at refining super-dimensional spiritual secret medicine."

Gu Jianlin shook his head: "It's okay, Sister Chen Qing is also a beauty."

This is one of his rare moments of humor.

Chen Qing was always expressionless, but after hearing this sentence, his brows and eyes softened silently.

She put the breakfast bag on the table and said lightly, "I'll eat breakfast first. I bought soy milk fritters and tea eggs."

Gu Jianlin said politely, "Thank you."

"You kid can talk."

Lu Zicheng said with emotion: "Actually, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even want to be the captain."

Although Lin Wanqiu offered such generous conditions, her purpose was also obvious.

Armed with mythology.

If Gu Jianlin didn't hand over the mythical weapon, he would definitely not get those treatments.

And once he handed over the mythical weapon, he would be useless.

Although there are few independent sublimators, he is not the only one.

And there are still people who are thinking about his father's relics.

"By the way, I have something very important to say."

After thinking about it, Gu Jianlin decided to tell his guess.

Because, it would be too dangerous if some ghost in Asgard really infiltrated into the human world.

If left alone, God knows how many people will be implicated.

"About clowns?"

Lu Zicheng narrowed his eyes and asked.

Gu Jianlin hummed: "I got two mythical weapons from him, one of them..."

"Stop."

Lu Zicheng said calmly: "Don't tell me what the effect of your mythical weapon is, it belongs to you, your secret. Remember, whether you carry alchemy weapon or mythical weapon, it depends on the conditions. Don't tell anyone if you can. The deeper you hide, the safer you are."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"I got some information from the clown."

He concealed the matter of the Qilin Immortal Palace, and said directly: "From his confession, it seems that the person who caused the blood moon massacre was not Lao Gu, but someone else. If I guessed correctly, it was Someone pretended to be him and took his place."

Hearing this, Lu Zicheng frowned.

Chen Qing pursed her red lips and said softly: "But for that matter, there are many evidences such as surveillance video, palm print fingerprints, DNA comparison and blood test, and a high-level psychic who was on the scene in person and restored what happened. .”

In other words, the evidence is overwhelming.

"I know."

Gu Jianlin paused every word: "But in this extraordinary world, is there a possibility, a certain ability, that can completely imitate, or duplicate, a person and replace him?"

Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing were slightly taken aback.

"At the time of the blood moon slaughter, my father should have been trapped in the Qilin fairy palace."

Gu Jianlin said in a deep voice, "There's something else wrong with this matter."

Lu Zicheng folded his hands on his chest and was silent for a long time.

"It sounds a little weird."

He scratched his head: "Chen Qing, what do you think?"

Chen Qing pondered for a moment: "In this crazy world, everything is possible, we need to collect more evidence."

"Yes, as long as you find the clown's accomplices, you might get some clues."

Lu Zicheng looked at the young man and said with a smile: "If you don't eliminate the clown's henchmen, you will still feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating, right? Even if we promise to protect your family, as long as they don't die, this thorn will never die. stuck in your heart."

"Yes."

Chen Qing took out the tablet computer, tapped it twice, and called up some information: "There are still people behind the clown's instigation, and his accomplices are also fleeing outside. The hunting reward has been issued in the Fengcheng area. As the captain and The vice-captain is going to participate."

She said in a rare soft voice: "Xiao Gu, if you want to rest, this mission can also..."

Gu Jianlin was thinking yesterday that he would use the power of the Ether Association to wipe out the organization behind the clown, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity so soon.

It happened to be possible to collect more blood of the ancient gods through this task.

"No, I want to participate."
