Barrier of Light

"Without Gu Changzhi, I wouldn't be where I am today... The journey back here from the crashed mothership was very long. He was on a mission at the time and took me with him. The journey was bumpy and took a lot of effort."

Qianye smiled.

She said softly: "To me, he is the only ray of light left in the ruins of the old world."

If Gu Changzhi hadn't opened the hibernation capsule, she would have died among the remains of the mothership.

"..."

Chu Ling listened quietly, a little moved, but she didn't know what to say.

No wonder Qianye would rather wait in the cemetery for twenty years before Gu Changzhi appears.

In her world, there may be only one person left to wait for.

"The reason why I stay in Qingzuka is because I have nowhere to go."

Qianye said softly: "I have become accustomed to loneliness. Although this world is very big, with five endless continents, for me, none of them is home... I would rather wait where he is, even if It’s enough if you can’t see it.”

This is willing.

Destiny, fate plays tricks on people...

Those who have waited so long will only see each other at the end of their lives.

Compared with them, I am one of the lucky ones.

Chu Ling looked at Gu Shen under the tree in the distance, and his eyes softened.

"About your secret... I actually guessed a big part of it."

Master Qianye smiled and said leisurely: "I want to ask you a question. If I leave the cemetery, are you willing to dedicate part of your efforts to control the formations of this cemetery for me?"

Chu Ling was slightly startled.

The wording used by the tomb keeper was very conservative.

If you guessed a large part of it... then you probably guessed it all.

After all, her biggest secret is that she comes from the deep sea.

Chu Ling did not deny it, but smiled calmly, nodded and said: "Of course, you don't need to tell me, I will take over the cemetery formation."

In fact, there is no need to hide this secret from Qianye.

Moreover, the formation pattern matter is not a trouble for me.

The spirit of [source code] can be divided into countless parts as long as the computing power allows.

Even, there is no need to have a physical body——

As long as the "spiritual link" in this cemetery is connected.

Her consciousness can be immersed here through Ling Ling Yao, and it is not difficult to control the formation patterns.

Just put some effort into it.

Moreover, just maintaining the daily operation of the cemetery does not consume much energy.

For Chu Ling, he only needs to borrow a small amount of computing power from the [Deep Water Zone] to easily complete this task.

If everyone in Nagano's three schools and five schools knew that they could control the cemetery through the [Deep Sea], they would definitely be very happy.

Chino got this answer.

She looked solemn and said to Chu Ling: "Thank you."

"It's me, thank you."

Chu Ling shook his head, "I can't repay you for your care of Gu Shen and your kindness to me this year."

Being able to learn the ancient characters on the cemetery formations, as well as the divination techniques to guide destiny... were things she never dared to think about in Ling Ling Yao.

Qianye stretched out a hand and slowly rubbed Chu Ling's head.

The movements are gentle and radiate warmth.

She smiled and said: "I am very proud to have a disciple like you."

Chu Ling also laughed.

It's just that there's a bit of sourness in this smile.

On her first day as a human being, she had to experience "separation"... This feeling was very uncomfortable.

"Although you...are extremely talented, there are some things I still want to say." Qianye said softly: "Divination is by no means a good skill. Those who use it will sooner or later pay the price for such taboo skills that foresee the future and peek into fate. , even if you have special methods to avoid part of it, there will always be a time to bear it."

Previously, she saw Chu Ling using divination.

The golden thread of fate was peeled off from this body.

But because of the "special" nature of the body.

For ordinary people, the unbearable pain of body dismemberment seems to be nothing to Chu Ling.

Those golden threads can even return to their original positions after the divination is over.

It seems that nothing has been paid.

But actually...that's not the case.

"I know."

Chu Ling nodded slowly.

She lowered her head and looked at her palm. At this moment, her knuckles were as white as pink lotus roots, and there were faint signs of uncontrolled spillage.

Her body is not human.

It is pieced together from "extraordinary source matter".

Therefore, in principle, the "flesh and blood" price required to use divination is invalid to Chu Ling.

Her spirit lives on and her body is eternal.

But... destiny marks the price on every gift it gives. It does not mean that you can successfully avoid the order just because you want to.

"Your body seems to need a lot of extraordinary source matter to support it." Qianye said meaningfully: "If I read it correctly... this body cannot last long, but it does not mean that you will die. "

Chu Ling smiled.

She didn't have time to tell Gu Shen about this matter.

indeed so.

The "divine fetus" in Shenci Mountain was hatched successfully, but once it leaves the mountain boundary and cannot be supplied by the black flowers, the body will slowly dissipate. The use of divination will undoubtedly greatly speed up this process.

In the ordinary world, there is birth, old age, illness and death.

And she... doesn't seem to have it. At least for now, the price of divination will not really kill her.

"You must be careful...the price of using divination is not so easy to escape."

The guardian of the tomb said seriously: "Perhaps you and Gu Shen will be exposed to other forbidden spells in the future... Each one has unimaginable negative effects."

Divination, sacrifice of flesh and blood.

Prayer technique to feed longevity.

Apart from this, are there any other forbidden spells?

Chu Ling said equally seriously: "Okay, I remember."

…

…

"Mr. Gu Changzhi, my 'Pure Land' can keep Iron Five...can't I keep you?"

The other side.

Gu Shen and Gu Changzhi stood side by side and asked with some reluctance.

"Are you talking about the apostle of Dionysus... We are different from him."

Gu Changzhi cast his gaze into the distance. He seemed to see through the spiritual barrier of this world, and vaguely glanced at Tie Wu who was being held in the distance.

Gu Changzhi chuckled softly, "Pure land can indeed carry the spirit of the deceased, and there is no unit of measurement for things like spirit. If you add one strand, the cost of carrying it will be doubled..."

At this point, Gu Shen already understood.

It’s not that the Pure Land cannot carry Gu Changzhi and Qianye.

It's just that he is not strong enough now.

"It is much more difficult to carry my spirit than to carry a thousand of him."

Gu Changzhi patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is something that the previous Pluto was far from being able to do. But... everything is possible. Maybe one day in the future, you can do it."

This is a very effective metaphor.

Gu Shen stopped talking.

Gu Changzhi's spirit... He once stood in the Golden God Realm and experienced it personally.

It can only be said that the Pure Land is still far from being able to accommodate the soul of such a figure.

As for Master Qianye, if Gu Changzhi is destined to disappear, then she will not live alone.

"I...I don't understand."

There was silence for a long time.

Gu Shen raised his head, looked into Gu Changzhi's eyes, and asked seriously: "How could a being as powerful as you die like this?"

He slept in the Qing Tomb for twenty years.

This sleep is for a lifetime.

Who could have imagined that such a brilliant figure would disappear like this...

"I want to know what happened twenty years ago!"

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said, "Is it because of the battle with the former Pluto in the old world?"

Today, those waiting outside the cemetery still don’t know the news of Gu Changzhi’s death!

They may still be celebrating. Gu Changzhi single-handedly defeated and pushed back the two thrones of the Tower of Origin!

Once the news of this death spreads... it will be an unparalleled huge impact on the Gu family, Nagano, and the entire Dongzhou!

Gu Changzhi was silent.

Gu Shen gritted his teeth and pulled out the Ruler of Truth, "Is it because of it? If this is an evil weapon, I can destroy it!"

Gu Changzhi shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with the ruler."

A complicated look appeared on his face, and his voice was a little hoarse: "My battle with Pluto... was not that complicated. Dionysus did spy some scenes of the battle between gods, but the truth was not what he thought."

"I fought with the out-of-control Pluto for three days and three nights in the dilapidated ruins outside Beizhou."

"In the end... he broke out of his 'out of control' state and asked me to kill him."

Gu Shen was stunned.

The amount of information in this sentence is really too much.

Pluto lost control...and took the initiative to break out of the state of control?

Breaking out of control has violated the extraordinary iron laws recognized by the federal government!

"It is not easy to kill a god. Pluto and Dionysus are not opponents of the same level."

Gu Changzhi lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "It was precisely because he wanted to die that I could kill him... And after the battle, I brought this fire back to Qingzhong Cemetery. In the battle with Hades, I was only affected by Some minor injuries, not fatal."

"So...you returned to Nagano and really just fell asleep..."

Gu Shen murmured.

Gu Changzhi shook his head again.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Before the battle with Hades... I was destined to be a dead man."

"???"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

"Twenty years ago, the federal government sent me an SSS-level mission through [Deep Sea]."

Gu Changzhi was silent for a moment and laughed at himself: "The mission content is to leave Beizhou Fortress and go to the [Old World] where order has collapsed... to capture an unprecedented heavyweight fugitive."

"SSS level..."

Gu Shen no longer knew what to say.

He understands the mission rating system of [Deep Sea]. A banned fugitive can be qualified as an "S-class". This is the most dangerous mission that can be assigned to an official agency. Improper handling can lead to the destruction and destruction of an entire city. destruction.

The hunting owl plan, which was classified as "S-level", consumed a lot of effort and personnel in the metropolitan area before it could be solved.

SS level, Gu Shen had never heard of it... Is this a danger threatening a large area?

What about SSS level?

He could not imagine that, looking across the five continents, there would be anyone qualified to be called a "heavyweight fugitive" by Mr. Gu Changzhi.

"The whole world knows him."

Gu Changzhi said softly: "My old friend, Alan Turing."
