The Deep Blue raced through the boundless wind and snow. The technical staff who should have been working overtime at night, and the Omegas preparing for battle in the training room, all felt a grand pressure descending from the sky, causing a great upheaval.

Many people's legs buckled, and they knelt on the spot, drenched in sweat.

"Damn it!"

In the incense-filled conference room, a massive wooden desk was shattered with a slap, collapsing with a roar.

Taihua suddenly rose, his breathing changing to a boundary-less state, and vanished in an instant.

Only a fierce wind remained, blowing apart the foreheads of the higher-ups.

Bai Feng's eyes almost exploded, the documents in front of him fluttering like butterflies, clearly feeling the murderous Sword Intent spreading despite being at the Holy Land Level of the Sword Sect Path, almost tearing him apart.

"What just happened?"

Ye Dao Saint said in a low voice with a horrified expression, "It's the first time I've seen the President lose composure like this."

Even those at the slightly lower rank like the Profound Yin Saint didn't dare to speak, trembling in fear.

Even the Night Watchers, led by Han Jing, exchanged looks without daring to ask more.

Only Lin Dong, a Demigod-level Ascender, vaguely sensed something, for the President's mental presence had briefly left this floating ship, transported to a place ten thousand miles away.

This was the last pre-battle meeting convened by the President, where details on the Strategy Group's forthcoming crusade against the Kui Dragon Ancestor in the Dragon Nest needed to be discussed and confirmed. As the team's leader, even Lin Dong had no command authority and must follow orders unconditionally, even obeying commands during wartime emergencies.

Because as long as the President was alive, she would always be the one issuing real orders, never letting others take over.

It's not that she looked down upon the two vice presidents she cultivated.

The old folks equally looked down upon everyone.

"Whew."

He took a sip from his tea cup, his gaze becoming deep.

He wondered what happened to make the President lose composure like this.

Even ignoring the meeting for the crusade against the Kui Dragon Ancestor.

In Gu Jianlin's resting chamber, a parrot was pecking at bird food, suddenly seeing a golden light rushing in!

Frightened, the bird's body shivered, and several feathers fell off.

Taihua naturally wouldn't pay attention to a stupid bird, suddenly flickering to the boy's bed, eyes heavy.

Gu Jianlin lay quietly on the bed, clearly in a deep sleep state, the child sleeping so obediently, curled like a shrimp, with a quilt covering him like mummy cloth.

This sleeping posture is usually favored by children lacking a sense of security.

Even asleep, he still firmly clutched the sword bag.

"You."

Taihua raised her hand to touch the boy's forehead, sighed softly, and said gently, "Looking across ancient and modern times, besides that unlucky Xu Fu, only you dared to provoke three Ancient Supremes at once."

This President, who has stood at the pinnacle of the world for four hundred years, had a trace of guilt flash in her eyes, mumbling, "According to the prophecy, after Tang Zijing and Gu Ci'an failed, someone would naturally go to Penglai Fairy Island to resolve everything. I didn't believe it and even prepared to act personally. Who would have thought that person turned out to be you?"

Gu Jianlin naturally couldn't hear these words.

In fact, even without hearing, he could figure out what was going on.

Both Gu Ci'an and Tang Zijing were placed in Qilin Immortal Palace by the President.

After all, without the President's permission, they evidently couldn't harness the power of the Heavenly Person's Wedge.

Thus, the President was the first to discern the crises looming over Penglai Fairy Island.

However, if Taihua were to choose again, she would act personally.

Even at the cost of shortening her lifespan.

Gu Jianlin's breathing was long, harmonizing with the rhythm of heaven and earth, and beneath his fair skin, golden veins were visible.

That was the frequency of the Heavenly Person's Breathing.

Not knowing what he dreamt of in his sleep, his brows furrowed, and his whole body trembled.

As if he was having a nightmare.

"Both a Heavenly Person and an Evolver."

Taihua caressed his forehead, whispering, "The path Thunder nearly sacrificed his life to walk through, you've already completed. How did you achieve that, child?"

As one at the peak of the world, she naturally knew there was an issue here.

She even already guessed how he achieved it.

Perhaps, Qing also knew it a long time ago.

Otherwise, despite there being few gifted Divines, Qing wouldn't have specially come to Peak City to find this child.

Even as Gu Ci'an's son, his gifted strength could only be considered excellent, nothing more.

Not enough to warrant such attention from a Catastrophe.

What kind of person the King of Qing is, she knew too well as his master.

The grand vision of the King of Qing is to surpass ancient, present, and future, to become the pinnacle of both worlds, exploring the secrets of the universe, the origin of everything, the cycle of cause and effect, endlessly and infinitely.

In a sense, Qing was the most ambitious person in the world, even more so than Chi.

What secrets does the student chosen by such a person hold?

It's unimaginable.

As the President of the Ether Association and Guardian of the Order World, what she should do most is to immediately kill this child, not even needing to verify her guess. If there's even a hint of suspicion, kill him.

No matter what the King of Qing was planning, it would be futile.

The bet placed by the Ancient Supremes would also come to nothing.

If it were her from a hundred years ago, she wouldn't hesitate at all, and this child would already be a corpse.
