The Ancient Gods' Whisper
Chapter 352 - 182: The Rage of the Candle Dragon (5000)
Qilin Immortal Palace, first level, Dawn City.
The nano warriors had already gathered at the gates of the ancient city, each carrying a heavy metal case. The armored vehicles roared as they headed into the wasteland, and helicopters howled as they soared into the sky.
Escorted by high-order Transcenders, the combat formation of 3,000 nano warriors was equipped with highly precise alchemy technology and large-scale destructive weaponry—even carrying alchemy nuclear warheads.
The current President has a famous saying: All fears in this world come from insufficient firepower.
In the 21st century, where alchemy technology is highly developed.
Humanity has gained a considerable advantage in the war against the Ancient God Clan. No longer blindly filling pits with human lives like in ancient times, humans have cleverly utilized modern weaponry, maximizing the advantages of their civilization.
Alright, the word "clever" might not be entirely appropriate.
After all, tossing nuclear bombs in the heat of battle can't really be described as clever.
But the beauty of it is that the Ancient God Realm isn't the real world!
Build as you please!
Legend has it that the first nuclear bomb in human history was actually detonated in the Ancient God Realm, and it happened right on top of a peak Primordial's head, triggering a catastrophic war.
If not for this, that Primordial would probably have planned to sleep for another few thousand years.
The Ether Association, as the largest alliance organization on a global scale, inevitably leads Transcendent armies into every Ancient God Realm that manifests in the real world, expanding territories and stabilizing dimensions.
The Buzhou Mountain of the Pamir Plateau, Yun Mengze of the Jiang Han Plain, the Gate of Hell in Kunlun.
And the recently descended Fusang Divine Palace and Qilin Immortal Palace.
The five Supreme beings currently present, along with the worlds they belong to, have all manifested in the real world.
Although studies of Super Ancient Ruins have essentially confirmed that there are far more Ancient Supremes than just five, the ones that have ultimately arrived on Earth seem to be limited to that number.
The invasion of the real world by the Ancient God Clan.
In turn, humanity doesn't sit idly by and charges into the Ancient God Realm to wage war with them.
The passage of the Heavenly Person Realm is marked entirely by human territories.
The city on the first level of Qilin Immortal Palace was adapted from an Ancient Ruin. A Heavenly Person's Wedge hovered a thousand meters above, its brilliant Golden Realm enveloping the entire city, turning it into a forbidden zone for the Ancient God Clan.
A tall structure known as the Guard Tower rose from the ground, serving as the strategic command center for Qilin Immortal Palace.
If the Ancient Ancestors here could retain their memories and rationality from life, they would surely feel a complex mix of emotions.
Modern humans have indeed made remarkable progress.
They've even managed to develop human civilization in the Ancient God Realm, complete with electricity—and even the internet.
The prerequisite being, of course, that they understand what electricity and the internet are.
The very top of the tower housed the highest conference room.
At this moment, the room was shrouded in darkness, with only a three-dimensional holographic projection speaking eloquently.
"In summary, my suggestion remains the same. Regarding the matter of Qilin Immortal Palace, I warned you many times while I was alive—this is absolutely not as simple as it seems. This is an exceedingly rare scenario: two Ancient God Clans slumbering within the same Ancient God Realm. The situation with Qilin Venerable is even more bizarre."
"Qilin Venerable's urgent use of his Spiritual Domain to erode Qilin Immortal Palace, forcing its descent from the dimensional turbulence to Earth, is not without reason. If my intuition isn't mistaken, something major is about to happen."
"Unfortunately, those fools in the Judgement Court stubbornly insist on their own course of action. What else can I do?"
As these words fell, the temperature around the conference room's round table suddenly dropped several degrees.
Everyone in the room was familiar with this refined yet weathered-looking middle-aged man.
Gu Ci'an.
Although Gu Ci'an had been branded as a Fallen for orchestrating the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident, the contributions he made and the glory he achieved during his lifetime were indisputable facts.
Especially his research on Ancient God Clan civilization, which made him the unparalleled authority in his time.
Thus, when needed, the supercomputer Deep Space would combine the data and thought patterns he left behind during his life to simulate a virtual personality for reference.
God knows, whenever this man appears, he unleashes a tirade that essentially boils down to a few key phrases.
You're incompetent, you're useless, you're idiots.
The Judgement Court is the idiocy of all idiocies.
Of course, useful strategies do emerge from time to time, but those opening remarks are glaringly disruptive.
An elderly man with snow-white hair and a deeply furrowed brow spoke with an icy demeanor: "That's quite enough."
He sat in a wheelchair, attached to an IV, looking severely ill and near death's door.
One of the nine great saints of the Judgement Court, Li Qingsong.
"The current issue is that You Ying Group has already entered the underground ruins ahead of us. They are highly likely to find the sealed Qilin Wedge. And that crucial piece of intelligence? We didn't know about it at all."
He coughed heavily: "This is a serious mistake."
Councilman Zhang, standing beside him, directly turned off the holographic projection.
Han Jing, clad in camouflage military attire, crossed her arms and sneered faintly: "Exactly. After all, you've issued a kill order for the guy; yet you're expecting him, while being hunted, to share intelligence? Even after his death, needing to simulate his personality for help is already disgraceful enough."
At this moment, Wang Taisheng tapped on the table: "Deputy Leader, avoid mixing personal emotions."
