Light Fortress

Chapter 1797 - 425: Letter, Kill (Part 1)_3

"Truly stubborn."

Gu Shen laughed, "What if I were to hand this thing to you, would you accept it?"

Deep Sea fell silent.

The one holding this authority now is Qinglong, its main system resides in the Sky Divine Domain, and Qinglong and it have already stood on the same side of interests, it won’t easily press the shutdown button.

But Gu Shen is different.

If the "shutdown" key was handed to Gu Shen, Gu Shen would indeed press it.

"You see, if the slap doesn’t land on your own face, it doesn’t hurt."

Gu Shen mocked, "I’m not some great leader, but at least I have a shred of conscience. Honestly, I never hated the ’Awakening Bill,’ I just hate you. The premise of implementing this bill is stable order, and you disregard order. Handing over human fate to AI is akin to abandoning the opportunity to steer in a storm, then at the end of this voyage, do humans even have the right to decide?"

Deep Sea frowned, "So you think I disregard order, lack the ability to advance humanity, that’s why you refuse to implement the Awakening Bill... why do you think so?"

It managed the Five Continents well.

Though the Awakening Bill hasn’t been implemented, and the final Spiritual Link hasn’t been connected... this continent already can’t do without it.

"Sorry, that’s your second question already."

Gu Shen used the exact same reply as Deep Sea.

"Alright... now it’s your turn to ask."

Deep Sea took a deep breath.

Now, it very much wanted to continue this conversation.

But Gu Shen didn’t feel the same.

He actually didn’t have many questions, the only thing he was curious about was what exactly Deep Sea did inland... the previous question had already answered his biggest doubt.

Deep Sea didn’t care about war.

And according to the current trend.

War is inevitable.

"Second question."

Gu Shen smiled and asked, "Why do you think I didn’t escape?"

Why didn’t he escape?

Is this even a question?

A doubt emerged in Deep Sea’s mind.

It frowned, observing the young man in front of it intently... In its view, Gu Shen didn’t escape because he couldn’t.

Just then, Gu Shen raised the hand hidden in his sleeve.

"I didn’t escape because I have something very important to give you."

Gu Shen smiled, "Actually, back in Light City, I should have given it to you."

"...?"

Deep Sea was puzzled.

In Gu Shen’s hand was a letter.

"During the cemetery battle back then, Mr. Gu Changzhi left this letter to me. He instructed me in those days to deliver this letter to the Light God’s Seat."

Deep Sea blankly stared at the object in Gu Shen’s hand.

A letter?

Just a letter?

"I once thought my only task was to deliver this letter," Gu Shen smiled, "but later I realized, he left me more than just a letter."

Speaking of which, a glimmer of light ignited between Gu Shen’s eyebrows.

Chi Huo soared with the storm!

"Sizzle!"

A corner of the envelope caught fire, and as it burned, the look in Light God’s Seat’s eyes changed from bewildered to terrified.

The envelope was merely singed at the corner.

But a beam of light, more dazzling and brilliant than the sun, bloomed in the void...

The dark void began to burn.

The golden divine radiance spread out everywhere.

And what terrified Deep Sea was that the aura inside the envelope came from... Gu Changzhi!

"Presumably, when Mr. Gu Changzhi gave me this letter, he had already speculated that light had issues,"

Gu Shen said with no expression, "If you had wanted to kill me in Light City back then, I would have opened the letter in Light City... and today if you want to kill me in the Old World, I will open the letter in the Old World!"

"Boom!"

As Chi Huo ignited, the envelope completely turned into a ball of flames. The black void where Gu Shen stood was also enveloped by countless brilliant golden divine rays, and the Suxuan tree standing behind him, every swaying long leaf became a dazzling flowing fire!

The old friends of the past have long gone.

Only a promise was left in the Qingzhong Cemetery that they would meet again if given the chance.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He straightened his spine, feeling the warmth emanating from the envelope.

Behind him... a human-shaped figure composed of golden divine light gradually took shape in the domain, that figure was so majestic that just one glance made one feel incredibly safe.

"Mr. Gu Changzhi..."

Gu Shen turned back and murmured softly, seeing that familiar figure, his nose tingled with a certain bitterness.

Some people may have died, but they live on in another way.

When Mr. Gu Changzhi left the Qingzhong Cemetery, he left a shred of his spirit there... This shred of spirit had been residing in the Pure Land, Gu Shen once thought that if one day he became the Netherworld King, could he use his Authority Power to resurrect Mr. Gu Changzhi.

During a conversation with Mr. Gu.

Gu Shen thought of a possibility.

Since Mr. Gu Changzhi could leave his spirit in the cemetery, then he could also leave it in the envelope.

At this moment, his speculation was confirmed!

A wisp of Divine Power from the Battle Fire was sealed within the envelope, the last gift Mr. Gu Changzhi left for him, if he ever faced an unsolvable danger, he could open the envelope.

And this danger...

From Mr. Gu Changzhi’s instructions back then, it came from the Light God’s Seat.

That’s why he emphasized, when you’re strong enough, go to Light City and deliver the letter.

Now, Gu Shen had fulfilled his promise.

He went to Light City.

Moreover, he delivered the letter.

"This is Mr. Gu Changzhi’s letter for you, and the gift I stayed here on purpose to deliver."

Gu Shen grinned, "Are you satisfied?"

The Golden Divine Domain spread out, enveloping a kilometer in circumference, trapping the Light God’s Seat within the divine domain. The enormous Suxuan tree’s every falling leaf turned into long slender flowing fire columns, descending from the sky, pinning into the ground.

Rumbling—

Amid the endless Chi Huo, the remnant spirit walked out from the Pure Land’s end.

Though it was just a strand of a broken consciousness, "Gu Changzhi" at this moment was incredibly full, his entire being immolated with blazing light and fire, and the ethereal figure gradually solidified, becoming immensely luminous, he was the most legendary figure in the East Continent over the centuries, born in an era rampant with geniuses, pushing through with invincibility, never experiencing a single defeat his entire life.

The East Continent people often compared Gu Changzhi to the sun, but in truth, he shone more brilliantly than the sun.

The only regret was.

After Gu Changzhi became the Divine Seat, he never displayed his power before the masses, no one knew how strong Gu Changzhi became after ascending to godhood, nor had anyone seen him fight.

At this moment.

Gu Changzhi arrived beside Gu Shen, this strand of incomplete spirit had no full consciousness, so he couldn’t converse with Gu Shen, but as Gu Shen and this golden towering figure locked eyes, it felt as if he could sense the conveyed faith.

As if saying, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here for everything."

"Boom!"

Gu Changzhi suddenly threw a punch at the Light God’s Seat in front of him.

The long leaves of the Suxuan tree trembled all at once.

The entire void began to collapse.

The magnificent power of the Battle Authority erupted at this moment!

"Could a mere remnant thought shine as brightly as the great sun?"

The body of the Light God’s Seat turned into pure, fierce Holy Light, Deep Sea didn’t retreat, instead, it chose to retaliate immediately.

A letter!

Its opponent was merely the remnant spiritual power in a letter!

Under such circumstances, would it still back down? It didn’t believe that a remnant spirit left by Gu Changzhi after so many years could be this powerful!

Thus, the Light God’s Seat dealt a punch!

Even though it lacked combat experience, at this level of origin confrontation, it had confidence in overwhelming with sheer quantity!

"Boom!"

The two fists collided!

Countless forces of luminous origin collided with the remnants of the Battle origin... In terms of quantity, the luminous origin far outstripped the Battle origin!

But the moment they collided, the luminous fist was instantly shattered!
