Chapter 894: Chapter 422: The Origin of the Supreme

Gu Jianlin said in a deep voice, “Retreat!”

If anyone else had spoken to her in this tone, Skylark would have killed him with a backhand.

However, here in the City of Sin ruled by the Black Supreme, with the charred corpses in front being so bizarre, despite her reluctance, she let out a hum and lightly fell into his embrace like a flower in the wind.

The charred corpses within the flames roared as they charged forward, with cracked faces resembling prehistoric beasts, ferocious and terrifying, showcasing different degrees of deformation. Some were as fierce as lions and tigers, others like deep-sea octopuses, or deformed creatures like mantises and beetles!

Holding the woman in his arms, Gu Jianlin retreated, as the Qilin Wedge effortlessly tore through time and space. A glimmer of cold light vanished in an instant, and the charging enemies were cleaved at the waist in midair, falling heavily to the ground.

Crack!

Countless streams of crisscrossing cold light flashed, forcefully ripping space apart, which eventually collapsed.

Even those charred corpses were swept into it and shattered into countless fragments.

The Qilin Wedge was like an unrivaled blade, unstoppable!

“My Dimension Slash can’t affect these monsters, but yours can?”

Skylark raised her eyes suspiciously at him, but quickly realized, “Qilin Wedge?”

The broken sword with a cross-shaped scepter style in Gu Jianlin’s hand felt unfamiliar to her.

But the aura emanating from the broken sword gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Wedge.

Ancient God’s Wedge.

“On the way here, we also encountered these things. Initially, we couldn’t affect them, so we got into a tough fight. Luckily, the Qilin Wedge can solve them, so I sent my Shadow ahead to support you. My true self has already escaped to safety, so don’t worry.” Gu Jianlin stared at the scattered corpse fragments on the ground, his eyes vigilant.

Skylark remained silent for a moment: “Hmm, how long do you intend to hold me?”

Only then did Gu Jianlin withdraw his hands as if shocked, with the soft feeling of her waist still lingering in his palms.

“Sorry.”

He said instinctively.

Skylark snorted lightly: “I thought you were enjoying the care of your little girlfriend and couldn’t make it.”

Gu Jianlin didn’t say much on this topic and just kept his eyes fixed on the scattered corpse fragments.

Skylark just made a teasing remark without any real reproach. She knew his true self was enduring excruciating pain, and the fact that he could control his clone to help her was already remarkable.

After all, if it were her, she wouldn’t be able to do it.

“This place should be the domain left by the Qilin Venerable, the domain of life and death. Here, only life permitted by the Qilin Venerable can survive. Of course, what the Venerable doesn’t permit to die will not die. Although in our understanding, these monsters are no different from being dead.” Skylark perceived the Spiritual Domain enveloping the city, seemingly able to see countless eerie blood-red lines spreading, lines intertwining in a web of life.

“What are you looking at?”

She suddenly asked.

Gu Jianlin stared at these charred corpses and spoke softly, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a city built by the Qilin Venerable, created based on the ruins on the Mother Star, restoring the ancient era’s style, including these kneeling citizens. But haven’t you noticed, these monsters are not the Ancient God Clan.”

Skylark was shocked, crouching beside him and murmuring, “More like Fallen?”

She also realized this problem.

The deformation these creatures previously exhibited was identical to that of the Fallen.

These are uniquely human mutation traits.

The Ancient God Clan are noble mythical creatures, their form referred to as evolution.

Not deformation.

It’s quite easy to distinguish, simply by observing the stability of their spirituality.

The external characteristics can also be judged.

The noble Ancient God Clan often possess beautiful external features, a beauty of primitive biology.

While deformed ones are naturally ugly.

For example, members of the Grave Digger Organization, after deforming, looked like insects.

“These can’t be Earthlings. At my rank, I’m particularly sensitive to time and space. These charred corpses have existed for at least tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years. But they’re indeed not the Ancient God Clan, as the missing Qilin Clan are suppressed in the Divine Ruins, not these low-grade organisms.” Skylark frowned and said.

“My profile suggests similarly, they’re definitely not Earthlings.”

Gu Jianlin shook his head and said, “However, here lies a peculiar paradox. These monsters are neither Earthlings nor Ancient God Clan, so what are they? Wait!”

At this moment, Skylark also lifted her beautiful eyes to look at him.

At the moment their gazes met, their blood seemed to cool to the core.

Because they realized one thing.

If this City of Sin replicates a city from the Mother Star during the ancient era of the Qilin Venerable.

Then that means it’s the era of the last Supreme.

Also, the earliest period of civilization origin for the Ancient God Clan.

It is well known that the civilization of the Ancient God Clan also needed development, their race required evolution.

If so, what was the initial form of the Ancient God Clan’s civilization?

“Human form is developed based on the spiritual gene of the Ancient God Clan.”

“It’s not that Ancient God Clan emulated humans, but humans have continually emulated Ancient God Clan’s evolution.”

“So is there a possibility, they are the Ancient God Clan?”
