Gu Jianlin from start to finish, could not understand why the Gu Family was cursed.

In the entire world of Ascenders, the Gu Family was just a historically old noble family, even having fallen to the point where it could be swallowed up by small, insignificant families like the Yan family. What right or virtue did this family have to warrant the endless hunts from the Vermilion Bird Clan over the centuries?

Now he knew why.

Because he himself did not know how he managed it, he simply found in his memory that he had once seen the destiny reflections of two supremely powerful Ancients, and thus their Destiny Reflections materialized.

A trace of a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he began to laugh lightly.

The storm hit his face, and his smile grew even more exuberant.

"Heaven never seals off all exits."

He raised his hand, gently wiping the blood from the girl's lips.

Su Youzhu's world was shrouded by a massive shadow, clearly unable to see anything, but she could sense the vast divine majesty, as if it was about to crush her delicate body.

Her face was pale, with her short platinum hair fluttering in the wind, partially covering her stunning eyes.

Suddenly, Gu Jianlin stood up and held her in his arms, looking up at the sky: "Don't be afraid, don't look up, just shrink into my embrace, just like back in Peak City High School, today... no matter what, I won't die from anyone."

No one knew what would happen next.

But Su Youzhu gently hummed and rested her forehead against his chest, as if believing that no matter how deep an abyss the world fell into, she could always curl up safely, finding a safe harbor.

She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and held the boy tightly.

Half a year ago, it was Gu Jianlin she held in a car accident, and this time it was he who held her.

Come on, Vermilion Bird.

This is your world, and my world too.

He lifted his head, gazing up at the lofty gods above, yet his eyes brimmed with sarcasm!

Boom!

The world echoed with the sound of collapse.

The firmament burned with golden flames, a pitch-black Qilin covered the sky, and faintly someone stood atop its head, their whole body wrapped in a dense black mist, their features unclear but exuding a mysterious depth.

Qilin Venerable!

The First Generation Qilin Venerable!

The moment it appeared, this world was permeated with boundless vitality and death energy, two completely opposing forces yet harmoniously balanced, as if symbolizing the interchange of life and death.

Blood-red Mandala flowers bloomed endlessly on the highway, the scarlet rain whistling with the wind, and a formidable Ancient Dragon seemed to rise to the heavens with an earth-shattering Dragon Roar threatening to shatter the entire world.

Amidst the blood and fierce winds, a peerlessly beautiful girl emerged from the mist, holding a red umbrella, her ink-dyed long hair fluttering in the wind, her dress like a deity stepping out of a mythical scroll.

As time and space twisted, she gracefully took a step forward, causing the void to shatter like a mirror.

Time suddenly sank into a swamp-like silence, as if to welcome her arrival!

Even the Vermilion Bird perching atop the sky quivered, with a noble shadow vaguely outlined above its head, gender indiscernible, yet seemingly reigning high above!

Rumble!

Xu Fu felt his mind about to explode.

What did he see!

Three Ancients assembled in the Reincarnation Nirvana World!

A tripartite confrontation!

And these were the same three Ancients who once captured him!

Immense fear exploded in his mind. Even as a Ninth Rank Taiyi God, he almost couldn't withstand the ancient overwhelming divine might, clearly a resurrection of ancient mythology before him, gods contending!

At this moment, Xu Fu felt as though he returned to a thousand years ago, reliving the fear of being dominated by three Ancients in succession!

Even for a dying man like him, it was excessively horrifying.

But even more terrifying was this boy.

Too incredible.

To invoke the killing intent of the Vermilion Bird Venerate.

And to be so deeply connected to both Qilin and Candle Dragon Supremes, even able to summon their destiny projections!

No wonder, to be so much under the protection of that Heavenly Person!

Amidst it all, thunder suddenly erupted!

"Vermilion Bird!"

The all-pervading Dragon Roar, Qilin's furious roar, blended together.

After Candle Dragon and Qilin Supremes appeared, they immediately unleashed their killing intent upon the Vermilion Bird!

The sky burned with void godfire, the Vermilion Bird Venerate's clear Phoenix cry resounding across the sky!

Qilin Venerable raised its majestic and enraged golden eyes, lifting both hands within the black mist to form a strange seal, rolling thunder echoed from the void, like a soul-piercing roar!

Candle Dragon Venerable gently sang an ancient ethereal chant, as the ancient and solemn blood-red dragon swirled around her, breaking through the bounds of time and space, a sky-trembling Dragon Roar erupted, the void trembling and collapsing!

Whether it was Qilin's roar, or Candle Dragon's Dragon Roar.

Both culminated in an ancient syllable!

——Ancient Divine Language!

Qilin's Ancient Divine Language signified the death of matter.

Candle Dragon's Ancient Divine Language marked the collapse of Karma!

The endless highway shook and collapsed, countless cobweb-like fissures spread to the world's end, steel guardrails twisted and withered, and the willow trees on both sides of the road suddenly withered and decayed, disintegrating into dust!

The dark clouds above the sky burned, lightning and thunder vanished, engulfed by darkness.

Even the storm across the sky extinguished, buried in the tides of destruction.
