Bulwark of Light

Chapter 168 The greedy for life and fear of the dead

Fujiki rose from the ground.

It turns into a big umbrella.

Thousands of willow branches hang down from the edge of the rattan umbrella. Zhou Jiren stands under the umbrella. The dark rain is absorbed by the dry rattan. The night in the distance in the small street looks like an old oil painting.

Gu Shen supported Sister Senior and slowly put Nan Jin down.

“The reason why I knocked her out is because this scene… It shouldn’t be for her to see, sometimes knowing the secret is a kind of trouble. It will not only cause her trouble, but also It will bring you trouble.”

Zhou Jiren stood in front of the rain curtain and pondered for a long time, “Your ability is a huge trouble.”

Gu Shen was stunned.

He came to the teacher and released that fiery ray.

In the absence of external stimulation, Blazing is extremely obedient and docile, like his own child.

A slender flame wrapped around his fingertips, sometimes jumping, and sometimes crouching.

“Until now, the parliament is looking for a way to ‘save the world’… Since you have already gone to the Tenth Layer of Huaqi, you should also know about the ‘Gene Act’.” Zhou Ji The person whispered: “Even the gene bill can be approved by the parliament, what else can they do?”

“I can eliminate the ‘order collapse point’…”

Gu Shen was a little dazed, and he asked softly, “Isn’t this a good thing?”

“Yes…of course it is.”

Zhou Jiren laughed, only But there is no joy in the laughter, but endless complexity, “It’s a good thing for this world, but for you…not necessarily.”

“Xiao Gu…”

“If one day, you have to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the stability of this world… What would you choose?”

Zhou Jiren turned to look at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen looked at the flames in the palm of his hand, jumping up and down, and there was another long, quiet night in front of him. The world fell into a deep sleep in the dark, his eyes were full of peace, and everything was beautiful.

“Can I only sacrifice myself in exchange for the stability of this world?”

Gu Shen asked softly.

The answer was only a very light word.

“…Um.”

“Maybe…?”

He scratched his head, a little uncomfortable with such a serious question, Old Guy has always looked like a condescending child, but suddenly being so dignified is really confusing.

Zhou Jiren cast a suspicious look.

“…if you want to hear the truth, don’t tell me.” Gu Shen added quickly.

“People are not sage, who is not greedy for life?” Zhou Jiren laughed, “My biggest wish is to live to be two hundred years old… So if this question is thrown before me, I will choose… No .”

“But you’re the Grand Adjudicator of Eastern Continent…”

“So what?”

Mister Shu spoke softly : “The Great Judge of Eastern Continent is just a name. It is me now, and it can be someone else in the future… A person who wears a crown called justice may not be a Daoist who is truly willing to sacrifice himself. So… I am What does the Grand Adjudicator of Eastern Continent have to do with me being greedy for life?”

Sounds shameless.

But…it’s true.

“The cruelty of this world is that when you are pushed to the top of the wave, it doesn’t matter whether you want to or not…”

“If one day you need to sacrifice me , in exchange for the peace of hundreds of millions of people in five continents.”

“Then…I will be sacrificed…This ending has nothing to do with what I want or don’t want.”

Zhou Jiren Meaningful: “Do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand…but I don’t fully understand…”

Gu Shen’s voice became lower and lower, with Some self-deprecating, “So, it’s actually an unfortunate thing to eliminate the ‘order collapse point’…”

When I first met Mister Shu.

Old Guy threatened himself with slicing research, but Gu Shen knew…it was nothing serious.

It’s different now.

If the true power of blazing fire is spread out… All the big figures in the Five Continents Council will be shocked by this, Gu Shen can vaguely guess what his destiny is to meet, the countless order collapse points in the five continents, So much so that the black spots in the northern causal fortress need to be “saved” by themselves.

It’s called salvation in name.

But his own destiny, from that moment on, lost the power to be dominated by himself.

“It’s not right either.”

Zhou Jiren laughed in a low voice, “This is a great luck and a great misfortune… It depends on your strength. If you are strong enough , then who dares to attack you?”

“The parliament has seven highest seats, reserved only for those who hold fire. At present, except for your fire, it can completely erase the black spot of ‘collapse of order’ ‘The people who are close to the gods who hold fire. They are regarded as the gospel of the future of mankind and the hope of saving the five continents… Indeed, they are no longer an existence that mortals can understand, and they only need to spread a ray of thought, they can be selected Apostle, carrying his own extraordinary extraordinary power, isn’t this the power only possessed by ‘God’?”

Mister Shu looked at Gu Shen and said, “But if someone…don’t need fire , can do this… What do you think they would do if they knew?”

Gu Shen sweated down his back.

“Not everyone has a noble and great soul, as you have just seen… The Eastern Continent Grand Adjudicator also has a life-threatening side, and I still have unfulfilled wishes, so I must Alive. And those who inherit the name of greatness may not be straightforward and upright.”

Having said this, Zhou Jiren paused.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart: “It is necessary to mention that Gu Changzhi is an exception… This guy is like a barrier cast by light, magnanimous and hard, if he can sacrifice himself, in exchange for the world’s Peace, Gu Changzhi should choose sacrifice without the slightest hesitation.”

“Gu Changzhi…”

Hearing the name again.

Gu Shen’s heart naturally had respect.

Some people, even if they die, will be mourned by countless people, revered by countless people, and regarded as a benchmark by countless people… Gu Changzhi is obviously such a person.

It is somewhat ironic that although Gu Changzhi is not dead, he just fell asleep.

But everyone seemed to acquiesce that he would never wake up.

“Sometimes I wonder, if you two have the same surname as Gu, will there be any overlap…” Zhou Jiren glanced at Gu Shen and said with a sneer: “But obviously, the same surname is only one Coincidence. You two don’t have the slightest similarity in character and ability, and you are completely different from two worlds.”

Gu Shen didn’t feel ashamed at all.

He retorted confidently: “But I’m also very afraid of death…how can there be people in this world who are not afraid of death?”

“Yeah…I don’t think so either. I understand.”

Zhou Jiren shrugged, “I will never be able to understand what a man like Gu Changzhi is thinking, isn’t he afraid of death? If he dies, he will have nothing.”

He extends the hand.

I rubbed it.

Dry palms.

The rain has stopped outside.

“We can’t be Gu Changzhi.” Old Guy turned around and looked at Gu Shen, “If you are afraid of death and want to make a little contribution to this world, then remember it… no matter this world What’s the matter, let yourself survive first. Only by living can you have the opportunity to contribute.”

Gu Shen looked complicated.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard words like this.

Survive.
