This was Gu Jianlin's first encounter with such a formidable opponent. He could feel his adrenaline soaring, his mental will boiling like molten lava, every cell in his body roaring in anger, squeezing out his strength.

The Divine Path sequence in modern times was reorganized by an ancient song from ancient myths. During the Warring States Period, the Chu people's Qu Yuan rewrote it, and it was eventually named Nine Songs, a ritual song for the gods.

The first eight sequences are: Fate, Junior Fate Officer, Great Fate Master, Cloud Lord, Star Lord, Heavenly Monarch, East Lord, Donghuang.

Only the final sequence has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present.

Taiyi God!

Ninth Rank, Taiyi God!

"How did you sense something was wrong with me?"

Xu Fu curiously asked, "I shouldn't have shown any flaws."

Gu Jianlin's gaze was cold, and he spoke with a chilling voice: "Initially, I also thought you were trapped here, but later I discovered something was off. You created the Summoning Technique, seeking to free humanity from mental pollution, even eliminating the mind control of the Ancient God. But the problem is, the mind control of the Ancient Supreme can't be eliminated, so you are worth being wary of."

"Also, when we first entered Penglai Fairy Island, those prisoners who were controlled, greedily wanting to devour the flesh of Evolvers, who were they controlled by? There's no one else here, only you."

He took a deep breath: "Of course, that's not the point. The point is, there were others who came here before us, and on the steps before entering the main hall, they warned later arrivals not to trust Him."

The only one who appeared here was Xu Fu.

So it's obvious who this Him is.

"Why are you willing to believe them?"

Xu Fu asked incomprehensibly, "Why can't I be a good person?"

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "The person who left the writing could naturally do it too. He should be a very high-level strategist, especially above me. Even Old Master Si could release you, so naturally, he could too. So I think he didn't fail but, for some reason, didn't want to release you. The Heavenly Person Realm was also left by him to suppress you."

The person who could leave behind the Heavenly Person Realm must be someone chosen by the President.

Such a person wouldn't make mistakes in such critical matters.

"Okay, I understand. You also have countless connections with Heavenly Person."

The golden Heavenly Eye on Xu Fu's forehead turned, rasping: "What a pity."

The Ancient God's Breath in Gu Jianlin's body was rioting, his hand grasping the blade with increasing force, but the blade could not advance an inch.

The Dimension Slash was ineffective, seemingly isolated by something.

The void cracked inch by inch, breaking like a mirror, yet it couldn't harm the old man in front of him in the slightest.

Xu Fu took a long look at him, smiling: "Now you should understand the gap between us, but I have to say, you are really capable. In this world, there are few powerful evolvers like you. With your potential, you can go very far on the Evolution Path. The person who pioneered this path is the greatest of all time; he realized the dreams of countless sages from the Ancient Times."

He paused and said: "The Emperor at that time actually had this idea as well, but unfortunately, it was not tolerated by the Six States."

Gu Jianlin stared at him intently, the blood-red vertical pupil filled with killing intent, veins bulging on his hands grasping the blade.

Jiuyin madly alerted, the blade trembling powerlessly.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't even achieve Primordial Return. Didn't the person who taught you this forbidden technique tell you how to use it? The Ancient God Clan is powerful because of Primordial Return. The human form is just their self-imposed limitation to adapt to the environment. Compared to the power of the Original State, it is as different as clouds and mud."

Xu Fu laughed heartily and said: "If you were a true Ancient God Clan, in your state of Primordial Return, combined with your Ancient Divine Language, you could probably kill a Sixth Rank on your own, and be invincible at the Superdimensional Level."

Gu Jianlin remained silent. He knew he was overly reliant on Ancient God Transformation but never truly mastered this power.

It was like a huge treasure waiting for him to uncover.

The problem was that no one taught him these things.

Moreover, he was a peculiar experiment, walking a brand new path.

There has never been a second case throughout history.

Before this, the strongest opponent he faced was a Sixth Rank Domain King, Zhang Xuzhi.

It was only through teamwork and catching him off guard that they could cut him down.

If Zhang Xuzhi went all out, attacking him alone, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.

Even if he used the Ancient Divine Language, it would only be his strength alone. The opponent could easily blow him away with Qi, escaping the domain's range.

Once Gu Jianlin was exhausted, he would be at the mercy of others.

And the Sixth Rank Domain King could self-destruct, even if forced into a many-to-one situation, it would likely end in mutual destruction.

"Don't think I'm verbose. I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time, and I only talk to excellent people. Like you, and the two very cute little ones who escaped last time." Xu Fu's smile was gentle yet sinister, terrifyingly so.

For a moment, space-time fell into a swamp-like silence, distorted like a rewinding tape, only the torrent of time rushing by, the noise within the domain stretched, turning into a deep, strange sound.
