Gu Jianlin never expected that there would be such a hidden chapter of history.

Run, it means to flee.

The Candle Dragon Venerable, reputed to be the most powerful, was indeed a ruthless figure. Even under the suppression of the Heavenly Person Realm that covered the vast Qin Dynasty's territory, she dared to remain in the physical world and single-handedly confront the entire Eastern faction.

She even forced the Emperor and the Great Sages to convene and devise strategies, preparing a secret weapon.

However, this secret weapon was ultimately unused and has now become the highest secret of the Omega Sequence.

Because the Candle Dragon Venerable perceived an even greater threat and didn't choose to fully wage war against humanity.

Instead, she temporarily made a trip to the East Sea.

Because in the East Sea, the Qilin Venerable was also scheming something, preparing means to deal with her.

In other words, between humanity and her own kind, the Candle Dragon Venerable considered the latter to be a greater threat.

Forcing her to deal with it.

"So that's it. That means the human faction currently holds a method to confront the Candle Dragon Venerable. Meanwhile, in the Qilin Immortal Palace, there's also a deadly weapon designed to deal with her. As a result, the Candle Dragon Venerable went to great lengths to suppress the Qilin Venerable, build the Immortal Palace to seal her, and even left a Primordial to guard her."

Gu Jianlin thought to himself: "What was the purpose of the Kui Dragon Ancestor's presence? Clearly, it wasn't to guard the Qilin Venerable; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up so weak, needing the Candle Dragon Venerable to step in herself."

In other words, the Kui Dragon Ancestor was guarding something else!

And that something is likely to be the secret weapon left behind by the Qilin Venerable two thousand years ago.

Initially, Gu Jianlin felt despair toward the strongest Supreme.

After all, he assumed that if even the First Generation Qilin Venerable couldn't defeat her, then he certainly couldn't.

But things were different now.

Gu Jianlin was the biggest snitch in this world, an agent within agents.

Eating from both humanity and the Ancient Gods.

Whether it was the secret weapon of the Omega Sequence or the thing inside the Qilin Immortal Palace.

As long as he obtained them, he'd have a chance.

With time, the advantage would be his!

For some reason, Gu Jianlin now felt an endless surge of battle intent within him. If there weren't people around, he might even have rushed into the Qilin Immortal Palace again to tease that woman.

Oh wait, no, provoke.

Moon Princess noticed how engrossed he was and said quietly, "Did you discover anything?"

Gu Jianlin nodded and continued reading.

"Actually, I strongly suspect that the Judgement Court has inferred this truth from fragments of historical clues, which is why they are willing to go to all lengths to enter the Qilin Immortal Palace. Unfortunately, if not for the Nightmare Master's betrayal, this plan wouldn't have been stalled for so long. Such a pity—for a time, I, Zijin, and the Nightmare Master made such a joyful trio."

"Life is unpredictable; looking back, it's filled with regrets. Though we don't know where he went, I have a feeling he's still alive. He might even have defected to the Ancient God faction and become a snitch!"

"The President issued the highest directive, hoping we can determine whether the Qilin Venerable is still alive. Though the task is incredibly difficult, it's not impossible for me. Truth be told, I hope the Qilin Venerable is dead; otherwise, an Ancient Supreme—even after being suppressed for thousands of years—might possess some unique strategies."

"I've decided to delve deeper into the Qilin Immortal Palace. After all, no one in this world understands archaeology better than I do! If I uncover the secrets in the Immortal Palace, maybe I could break the curse on the Gu Family and also find means to confront the Candle Dragon Venerable!"

"Although I bear no personal grudges against the Candle Dragon Venerable, my Gu Family ancestors were generals under the Emperor. As a descendant of the Gu Family, it's my duty to guard humanity's lands."

"If the Candle Dragon Venerable intends to destroy the world, what will happen to my son? My son is still young; he can't bear all this. No way—no way—I must stop her! The responsibility is mine!"

Gu Jianlin nearly spat blood upon reading this. He thought to himself, "Please shut up! Can you stop tempting fate?"

Whether the Candle Dragon Venerable intends to destroy the world, I don't know.

But right now, she's here to destroy me first!

"As suspected, although the Qilin Immortal Palace was only observed a few years ago, it has appeared sporadically over the past two millennia. Many people have ventured deep into the Immortal Palace. Among them are numerous Ancient Ancestors who betrayed humanity while seeking immortality. As for other surviving members of the Qilin Clan, none have been spotted for now."

"Speaking of which, recently, there was an awakened individual with archaeological expertise who accidentally entered the Immortal Palace. He claimed to have seen ghost shadows in a tomb, worshipped by child boys and girls. Was that person Xu Fu? However, after I entered the Immortal Palace, I didn't encounter these people."

"This won't do. The Qilin Immortal Palace is attracting more and more attention, and the dimensional gate is becoming increasingly unstable. My Rank is insufficient to remain here for long. I've stumbled upon some corpses here—people who carelessly crossed over into the Immortal Palace. Those who survived and made it out, though, would be rare Self-Ascenders."

"I thought of my adorable little disciple. If it hadn't been for meeting her in the Immortal Palace back then, she might have perished under the hands of those Ancient Ancestors. Hmph, I detest those snitches who betray humanity!"

"Not like me; I confront the Ancient God Clan head-on, without being corrupted! Nor will I be tempted!"
