It was as if a thunderbolt exploded in his mind; even with Gu Jianlin's immense stability, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Don't think I'm bragging here. Our group has an Ascender who crossed into the Immortal Palace. He claims to have encountered the Ancient Ancestors of the Candle Dragon Clan inside! After verification, we found he wasn't lying, which completely proves this theory."

Mr. Liu chuckled and said, "Actually, some ancient documents also record this. Throughout the ages, people have ventured to the East Sea searching for traces of the Qilin Immortal Palace, some of them even becoming legendary figures in history. Do you know? The Candle Dragon Venerable is hailed as the strongest among the Supreme, but the Qilin Venerable is certainly no weaker."

"Even within the Ancient God Clan, It is an exceedingly dangerous and terrifying Divine. Aside from the Vermilion Bird Venerate who descended alongside It, nearly all other Supremes wanted to kill It."

He paused, his tone becoming enigmatic and profound: "Though no one knows why, It must possess some unique Authority that even Its Supreme peers fear deeply."

Gu Jianlin appeared outwardly calm, but internally, he was beginning to feel restless.

At the moment, his understanding of Qilin Authority was still severely lacking.

Aside from Ancient Divine Language and Ancient God Transformation, he knew nothing else.

"Two thousand years ago, that apocalyptic war was a trap set by the Qilin Venerable and the Candle Dragon Venerable, each intending to devour the other. Although the result was the Qilin Venerable being suppressed and destroyed, the Candle Dragon Venerable ultimately emerged victorious."

Mr. Liu said, "But it can be confirmed that the Candle Dragon Venerable paid a great price. Even though It has remained active in the Ancient God Realm and the real world over the past two thousand years, Its power is certainly no longer as strong as the peak period recorded in ancient books. Guess what—could It have left something in the Qilin Immortal Palace?"

He spoke in a furtive tone: "Otherwise, why would It deliberately leave behind this tomb? If It couldn't completely kill the Qilin Venerable, wouldn't banishing It into dimensional chaos have been better?"

Gu Jianlin's pupils flickered, but he said nothing.

"The goal of the Ether Association is the Qilin Venerable, while our goal is the legacy of the Candle Dragon Venerable."

Mr. Liu said, "Enticing, isn't it?"

Gu Jianlin had to admit, it did pique his intrigue and curiosity.

"Is this the gift you prepared for me?"

He asked.

"Oh no, no, no, of course not."

Mr. Liu crossed his arms and laughed, "I told you, we're not as stingy as the Ether Association. What I'm about to give you next is the ultimate masterpiece created by Miss Lan herself—a truly unparalleled alchemy weapon!"

Just as he finished speaking, the glass window suddenly shattered, and the fat man's head exploded with a loud bang, blood spraying everywhere.

It looked like a watermelon crushed to pieces.

Gu Jianlin: "..."

The two Bunny Girls' expressions changed abruptly, and they turned their gaze sharply toward the window.

The roaring sound of gunfire shattered the tranquility of the night sky, as if ripping apart the darkness.

"Another assassin."

The young man yawning in the corner turned and walked off, speaking listlessly, "Eagle Eye of the Overlord Path combined with Domineering-enhanced abilities. Sigh, since the invention of firearms, the Overlord Path has become more terrifying."

"Let the boss know that I'm going to catch the assassin."

After saying that, he leapt out of the window and vanished into the night.

At this moment, Mr. Liu's corpse began to tremble, the flesh squirming and regenerating from the horrifying wound on his neck. Countless blood vessels and muscle fibers burst forth and intertwined, rapidly reshaping into a new head within mere moments.

"Ah, my apologies—just a minor interlude."

He smiled and said, "Shall we continue?"
