The light curtain projected by the projector shook violently, as the alchemical instruments could no longer withstand the terrifying magnetic field fluctuations, forcing a temporary interruption of the broadcast. The screen froze at the moment the Ancient Dragon soared into the sky.

In the center of the destructive storm, one could vaguely see an unparalleled silhouette spinning, the hem of her dress eclipsing the sun and sky.

Finally, the image resumed, indeed showing the scene of destruction on the Pamir Plateau. Meteorologists worldwide had detected the anomaly here, but only those with spirituality could see the truth in another dimension.

Sky-high pillars of solid black stone crumbled as if they were mountains, while meteors plummeted down.

The roar of dragons pierced the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the roar of the Qilin.

Blinding flashes of sword light crisscrossed in every direction.

Even though it was just a projection, one's eyes were still stabbed by the intense light.

"Truly terrifying."

Gu Jianlin touched his chest, feeling the pounding connection to the depths of his bloodline, a sudden heartbeat sensation, silently thinking: "This old monster, beautiful indeed, but truly terrifying as well. Not as horrifying as a female ghost but a hundred thousand times more frightening."

The prettier the woman, the more dangerous she is—this much is certain.

Especially after devouring the Dragon Bone, Gu Jianlin even developed complex emotions for this woman.

Well, even if there were no Dragon Bone, any normal man would admire her.

This was very normal, after all, there probably wasn't a woman more beautiful than her in the world.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this Primordial Return? The Venerable's Primordial Return looks just like a mega Sky Splitting creature—sometimes it's black, sometimes it's red."

He asked curiously.

"Primordial Return is the most original state of the Ancient God Clan. After they came to this world, they limited themselves to human form to adapt to human rules. The so-called Primordial Return is the release of one's spirituality and manifestation of the Mythical State. For example, the black dragon summoned by the Venerable is her toying with you."

Jiuyin snorted delicately, "When they are dark red, they show you a slight respect, treating you as human. And when they're truly serious, their human form fully integrates with the Mythical State, which is the true form of Candle Dragon!"

Gu Jianlin thought, so that's how it is. Looks like this old monster wasn't being serious.

"But I never expected that even humans could achieve Primordial Return. Your teacher is unbelievably strong, some might even think he is the Qilin Venerable."

Jiuyin quipped, "Little guy, can he achieve Primordial Return in the real world?"

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment: "He actually seems to be capable of it."

Jiuyin also fell silent, beginning to worry for the safety of Candle Dragon Venerable.

After all, Candle Dragon Venerable was on the brink of Ascension. If she was left here, well, it wouldn't bode well.

Gu Jianlin also remembered the old monster saying she was about to Ascend.

If something went wrong, she might sleep for three thousand years, and even wanted to take him with her.

Ha, dreaming.

Go teacher, go師叔 and 師姑!

At this moment, Taixu issued an alarm, its once gentle voice turning cold and deep: "Detected hacker intrusion, intercept system activated for you, would you like reverse tracking?"

Gu Jianlin was startled and threw Jiuyin to the side by the computer desk.

It's imperative to know Taixu was a revolutionary supercomputer. Though her simulated personality was a little girl, it was merely to lower people's guard. She was a strategic level weapon, casting a shadow globally.

No idea who was bold enough to invade Taixu's system.

"Track."

He sat in front of the desk, and the computer automatically turned on.

Once the screen lit up, it remained completely black before abruptly showing a surge of data streams.

Reflected into the boy's mind like an ocean.

This was Taixu functioning as a Hunter, reverse capturing the intruder to her domain. In an instant, she traveled across the world—any attempt to hide IP addresses was useless in her perspective, no illusions could deceive her logical process. She calmly cast and reeled in the net, accurately capturing the target.

"Tracking complete."

Taixu's icy voice rang out.

At last, the screen, though still black, displayed a line of words.

"As expected of Taixu, who would've thought after all these years she evolved to such a degree. Remember when the King first created her, she was just a little girl."

Gu Jianlin looked at the line of words, vaguely guessing the identity behind it.

Think Tank!

Taixu coldly stated, "I am still a little girl."

Think Tank's words resurfaced: "Alright, my apologies. However, I'm not here for you; I'm searching for Mr. San. Dear Miss Taixu, if possible, please allow us a few minutes. After this, you can submit our conversation to the Ether Association's higher-ups."

Taixu seemed to hesitate, falling silent.

Think Tank typed another line: "Even if you refuse, I have other ways to contact Mr. San. After all, since the President can plant spies next to me, I can also plant my people in your Strategy Group."

Gu Jianlin raised his hand, "Taixu, give us a few minutes."

After a while, Taixu said, "Alright."

As the screen flickered, the dark background was replaced by a spacious cabin.
