Barrier of Light

"really?"

"really."

The traveler stared at Gu Shen and confirmed again... Gu Shen is no longer a god!

But he could still feel the powerful blazing mark between his eyebrows.

What's happening here?

He is not a god, but the spiritual power left behind can still suppress him?

Out of caution, the traveler asked cautiously: "Where is your fire?"

"Give it away."

Gu Shen did not shy away and wrote lightly: "My eyes are very good. I guess it is for this reason that I chose the second option, right?"

"...give it away?"

The traveler looked strange. After living for so many years, this was the first time he heard someone giving something like fire to someone else!

"Xiaoqiu told me about the underworld fire."

Bai Xiu said: "She said she would challenge you immediately after the fire is smelted... It seems that she is very confident this time."

As soon as he said this, the traveler's expression became even weirder.

Gu Shen gave the Hell Fire to others and welcomed others to challenge him?

This guy... what kind of strength does he have now?

"It will take a long time to smelt fire." Gu Shen smiled warmly and said: "When today is over, you can take her to the Time Dojo for retreat... There is a lot of time there. By the way, you can help I told her that I would welcome her challenge wherever and whenever."

Gu Shen looked at the traveler and said, "I also give these words to you."

The traveler looked at Gu Shen fearfully.

He noticed something strange and realized that Gu Shen had lost his fire... In today's conversation, he agreed to the second option given by Gu Shen, originally wanting to challenge Gu Shen when he was at his "weakest".

But nothing.

As soon as this thought came into my mind, a warning sign came from my heart to stop it.

"What if I challenge now?"

The traveler gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Then you will lose miserably."

Gu Shen's answer was without any hesitation.

He smiled and said: "I suggest you wait until you return to your own divine body and practice hard for a few years before you challenge me again."

Losing the Underworld Fire...Has Gu Shen become weaker?

Actually, no.

Before smelting the Underworld Fire, he realized that in his own [Creator] Divine Realm, the thousands of creatures in the Pure Land did not rely on the "Underworld Fire" to live.

The reason why this journey is so difficult.

It was because Gu Shen gave his best to "Blazing Fire".

Those souls in the [Pure Land] still exist, and have not become weak because of the departure of the Hell Fire.

From beginning to end.

To Gu Shen, Hellfire is just a "passer-by".

The former Pluto took a fancy to Gu Shen, and tried every means to put "Pluto" into Gu Shen's hands...

And now.

Gu Shen gave this ray of fire to the most suitable person in his heart.

He put down the Hellfire and gained more.

He becomes purer, more "simple".

And the road is often simple.

Suddenly, Bai Xiu opened his mouth and said something very abrupt.

"are you ready?"

Xiaoxiu moved his head and looked at Gu Shen.

This question made the traveler a little confused.

Prepare... prepare for what?

"It's almost ready."

Gu Shen spoke softly and said: "The moment you throw away the Hellfire... you should be ready."

He took a step forward, stretched out his palm, and placed his palm against the sky sheath.

The sky-reaching stone sword trembled violently.

The traveler who was crouching under the sword suddenly contracted his pupils. This action was very familiar to him. Not long ago, Bai Xiu pulled out the candle-extinguishing bow and performed this action... Gu Shen's actions at this moment were the same as Bai Xiu's at that time. It's very similar, but the "hidden object" in the sky sheath has been taken out. What does Gu Shen want to take out now? What else is here?

etc.

What else is here?

This sentence recurred in the traveler's mind, and he suddenly remembered the legend about the "Sky Sheath".

For six hundred years, it has been passed down by word of mouth.

The deformed long horn that fell on the tundra is actually a sword.

The stone surface that can erase the "extraordinary properties" is the scabbard.

Inside the stone sheath, there is a sword that is extremely sharp and can kill all extraordinary powers——

No one took this statement seriously.

If there really is such a sword that can eliminate all extraordinary powers, how can an extraordinary person pull it out?

This has always been a fallacy.

But the moment Gu Shen pressed his palm on the sheath, the fallacy was dispelled and the legend was confirmed.

"Boom!"

The core area of ​​the sky sheath suddenly began to tremble.

The heavy fog in the Tundra Prison was swept away by a powerful force and cleared instantly. The scene within a ten-mile radius became extremely clear. Every night watchman stationed in the prison could see a scornful figure standing under the sky-reaching stone sword. The small young figure put his palm deep into the stone sheath and was pulling something out.

"Has the Sky Sheath been shaken again?"

On top of the Snow Cage Tower, Mr. Ghost and Mr. Snow watched this scene silently.

"The 'shaking' scene caused by Gu Shen this time is much greater than that of Bai Xiu."

Mr. Ghost murmured softly: "I feel like the entire prison is like a blank sheet of paper. As long as Gu Shen is willing, he can overturn it at any time!"

The snow cage is built around the sky sheath.

If it were said that there really was such a sword in the sky sheath.

Then Gu Shen drew his sword and the sky sheath collapsed... This prison would naturally cease to exist.

The two have been stationed in the prison for many years and never left.

The person who has been with them the longest is Tianshe.

Seeing the towering giant sword constantly trembling, the two of them had an unprecedented intensity in their hearts.

They knew what such miracles meant.

The snow is rolling and the air is flying.

Gu Shen actually pulled out a scarlet and hot "sword shape" from the sheath.

This long and narrow sword shape was only pulled away by an inch, and Gu Shen stopped his hand in time.

He silently exerted force with his palm, pressed against the hilt of the sword, and sent the sword shape back.

The sky sheath no longer trembles.

The shaking of the entire tundra also stopped.

But... everyone saw the scene of drawing the sword.

"There is actually a sword here..."

The traveler looked pale. He had never taken the stories spread in Dongzhou seriously.

Because he knows what kind of power the Sky Sheath fragment is.

This sky sheath is nothing more than a special rule fragment that was born due to the influence of powerful extraordinary power, just like [Extinguished Candle].

Because of this, he chose to send [Candle Extinguishing] into it.

But today, Gu Shen slapped him in the face with actual actions, and there was really a sword hidden in the scabbard.

The existence of such a sword can be hidden from all the gods in the past six hundred years.

The traveler vaguely felt that the quality of this sword might be higher than [Extinguish the Candle].

Now he knew why Gu Shen suggested that he should practice for a few more years before taking on the challenge...

indeed.

Now, he had no chance of winning against Gu Shen.

But in a few years, will there really be a chance of winning?

The travelers who witnessed this miracle of sword drawing... felt more confused than ever before.

He even had a very absurd idea in his mind.

What if Gu Shen led everyone to resist the super giant source of energy storm.

Maybe, there is really a chance to win?

…

…

"...It opens my eyes."

Baixiu stood beside Gu Shen the whole time, watching Gu Shen draw his sword.

Gu Shen pushed the sword shape back into the scabbard before he spoke and said these three words.

Can Bai Xiu give such an evaluation.

There is only one Gu Shen in the entire Five Continents.

Just a few days ago, he pulled out the traveler's dormant [Extinguishing Candle] from the sky sheath... That time when he drew the bow, he didn't notice anything strange inside the sky sheath!

"This is not my fault. Someone had already given the hint."

Gu Shen shook his head and said softly: "Mr. Gu Changzhi once stood under the sheath for a day and a night."

Let’s look at it now.

Every step Gu Changzhi took and everything he did... were actually leaving reminders to future generations through the power of [destiny].

At that time, there was not enough fire.

Gu Shen was lucky. He inherited Mr. Gu Changzhi's "legacy" and ushered in the right era.

"Since the sword was successfully drawn, why send it back?" Baixiu was a little confused.

He still held the extinguished candle in his hand.

"If it's not to draw the sword, why draw the sword?" Gu Shen said with a smile: "The world is peaceful now, is there any enemy worthy of my sword?"

Having said this, he glanced at the traveler on the ground.

The latter shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was not in a hurry to exercise his so-called right to challenge.

"...That's true."

Bai Xiu sighed softly.

Now that the five continents have been pacified and the flames of war have been extinguished, it is a great good thing.

Why draw the sword when there is no need to draw it?

With Gu Shen's strength, probably only Qingwu in his prime could be worthy of such a move, "Drawing the Sword from the Sky Sheath".

"When I was rushing back from the [Old World] to the Five Continents, what I was most worried about was that when I arrived at the Ice Sea, I found that the war was over and the Allied forces had been defeated on all fronts."

Gu Shen said softly: "The general trend of the world is like a torrent. No matter how strong one person is, he is still just one person."

Maybe it’s God’s favor and fate’s pity.

What I was most worried about didn't happen.

Gu Shen doesn't mind having a fight with Qinglong. If he rushes back to Wuzhou and there is such a tough battle, let alone one, even if the divine battle of the Tower of Source is repeated for three to five years, he still won't have it. Not the slightest hesitation.

But if you can avoid fighting, who is willing to fight?

The world is at peace and everyone is safe.

From the ice sea, to the northern border, to the exile in the void, and back to the ice sea...

What kind of ending would be worthy of this journey of wandering?

There are countless heroes in this world who devoted themselves to the destiny of mankind and died.

Because of this, Gu Shen, who rushed back to Wuzhou, felt lucky and relieved from the bottom of his heart... The world did not collapse without him.

Bai Xiu, Meng Xizhou, Gu Nanfeng... the three institutes and five great families, the four legions, the Temple of Light, the Night Watch, and countless "heroes" supported this war with their backs.

"Just keep this sword here."

Gu Shen laughed at himself and said: "If it is possible, I hope that the estimated data of [Deep Sea] is also wrong, so that I will not need to draw my sword after seven years... I hope that there will never be a super giant source in this world." The mass storm, the 'biggest disaster' that mankind is worried about, is actually just a false alarm. In this case, I will never need to draw my sword in this life."

The two stood in the wind and snow, looking at the stone sword that reached the sky.

He also looked at the confusing fate of mankind in the future.

The fog came back and everything became blurry.

I recall that when we first met, it was through thick fog. At that time, Gu Shen was on the mountain and Bai Xiu was at the bottom.

Now, the two of them stand side by side, both on the "top of the mountain."

"There are still seven years left, what are you going to do next?"

Baixiu moved her head to look at Gu Shen.

He knew that Gu Shen had already given the Hell Fire to Mu Wanqiu...

Because he has smelted the "underworld fire", Gu Shen can no longer become the master of other fires in this life.

Among the twelve types of fire, the most lethal "Hunting Fire" naturally had no chance with him.

Without the fire, the practice in the Time Dojo seems to have lost its meaning for Gu Shen.

"There is someone who has been waiting for me for a long time."

Gu Shen said softly: "She has been waiting for me for seven years, and I want to pay her back seven years."

Baixiu looked a little moved.

He knew who Gu Shen was talking about.

"Miss Chu...are you okay?" Xiao Xiu's voice was complicated.

"fine."

Gu Shen paused, rubbed his chin, and said slowly: "I want to think about how to explain to you... Since the spiritual links of the 3.4 billion extraordinary beings are converging towards the upper city, all her spiritual power is now concentrated in the Dead Sea area. , it will take about a month to clean up the mess left by the main system. Only when the four continents are fully connected to the deep sea can her spirit be 'liberated'."

Baixiu lowered his voice and asked, "I heard from Xiao Man that the genetic sequence of the Lord of Love has been retained in the initial account. Turing extracted part of his spiritual will back then and created Chu Ling through self-reproduction of the genetic sequence. "

What he is concerned about is Miss Chu's "existence".

In the real world, life is very simple.

There is a body and a soul.

In the past, Bai Xiu always thought that Miss Chu Ling was just a string of codes, but later he realized that he was wrong.

Chu Ling clearly has a soul of his own.

This is a woman who lives a more "firm" and "meaningful" life than many others.

If Chu Ling had a complete genetic sequence, then using the current methods of human civilization, it would not be difficult to recreate a body. The gene bill back then was promoted through this technology.

Baixiu took a deep breath.

He wasn't good at beating around the bush and didn't like beating around the bush, so he got straight to the point and asked.

"Gu Shen, Miss Chu...is there still a chance to survive?"

Gu Shen stood in the cold wind with his hands behind his back.

He smiled helplessly.

"What's the word?"

"In my mind, she never 'died'."

Seeing Bai Xiu's solemn expression, Gu Shen coughed slightly, and his expression became serious: "This time, she will have a life of her own."

During this time, Gu Shen traveled around the country, arranging the construction of giant walls, choosing the owner of the fire, and many other matters.

And the last stop is the tundra.

Having said this, Gu Shen took out the "Hunting Fire". This is the most lethal fire among the twelve fires. The blazing fire wraps the fire of hunting. Just taking it out will cause the surrounding space to tremble. This fire is the most difficult to tame, but it contains The original power is also the most powerful.

The wind and snow flowing across their cheeks suddenly became hot.

The surrounding air also became hot.

Baixiu looked at the fire in silence and did not reach out to pick it up in a hurry.

"We say goodbye today, but the next time we see each other may be a few years later?"

He looked at Gu Shen.

"That's not the case. On weekdays, I will use the 'power of flow' to control the red shadow, coordinate with the highest seat, handle the casting of the giant wall of Beizhou, and accompany you all to enter the starship dojo to practice..."

Gu Shen handed the fire to Bai Xiu.

Baixiu looked complicated.

He knew that Gu Shen used the power of flow to control the red shadow... Then his true form should disappear into the vast sea of ​​people together with Chu Ling.

"Okay, take this fire."

Gu Shen chuckled softly: "Counting the days, she is about to usher in a new life."

"..."

He took it down with his little sleeves, closed his five fingers, and firmly grasped the fire of hunting, which was the most difficult to tame and control, into his palms.

Just blink and look up again.

The figure in front of him has disappeared without a trace. (End of chapter)
