Barrier of Light

"You say I am the descendant of Hades...?"

Gu Shen's laughter echoed on the red lake.

He looked back slightly and saw the silent and frightened eyes of many onlookers, including the Holy Judge.

The last time Pluto appeared was seven or eight years ago.

The Battle of Qingzhong Cemetery.

News about Pluto never surfaced again.

But everyone knows that Guangming City will not give up the pursuit of Pluto because of his disappearance... In recent years, the Holy Inquisitors who have been distributed in five continents and four places are looking for the legendary Pluto and Pluto's apostles.

Before Jia Wei could speak.

Gu Shen then asked: "If I am the descendant of Pluto, how come you have not revealed it until now? The person who hates Pluto the most...isn't it the God of Light?"

This sentence is like thunder.

The heavily armored Holy Inquisitor fell silent.

Yes.

He couldn't argue.

He has always believed that Gu Shen is the descendant of "Pluto". There is no reason and no need for a reason... As he said to Yao Jin yesterday, becoming a believer in the light and following the guidance of the light is the greatest achievement for every believer. glory.

But now, does he want to explain to the outside world that he has no evidence and only relies on the guidance in his heart to seek out enemies?

So Jia Wei could only remain silent.

"This is Guangming City, a divine domain."

Gu Shen said expressionlessly: "You said I am the descendant of Hades... Where is your evidence?"

Jia Wei raised her head silently.

He did not argue with Gu Shen, but silently took two steps back and stepped on the water of the Red Lake. This lake originally had countless ripples, but after he stepped on it, these ripples quickly calmed down.

"The water of the Red Lake contains light and radiance. Only those with a clean heart can stand on the lake."

Jia Wei said: "If you were not the descendant of Hades, you would be standing on this red lake."

Gu Shen smiled.

He uttered three words coldly: "Why?"

"Why do you want me to prove myself, and I have to prove myself?"

"Why should I stand on this red lake?"

Gu Shen's voice was interrupted by Jia Wei halfway through.

"If you want to kill me—"

The Holy Inquisitor, who re-summoned the Spear of Light, dismissed the subordinates who wanted to block him with his eyes. He held the spear like a wall standing on the red lake, or a mountain. .

"Then kill me on this red lake."

…

…

There is a lot of fog filling the surface of the Red Lake.

Song Ci couldn't see his direction, and there was no so-called "bright guidance" in his heart. He could only take one step at a time.

Although I don’t know where the other side is.

But he knew that he had gone deeper and deeper...

For him, this is the greatest good news.

It doesn’t matter whether you can make it to the other side.

As long as you keep going, you will reach the end sooner or later.

And what he is really waiting for is not the "other shore".

He suddenly stopped.

In the depths of the mist, just like in my first dream, there were wisps of black wind.

Someone is waiting for you.

The man was sitting in the heavy fog of the Red Lake, as if he was not worried at all that he would not come, or that he would go in the wrong direction.

"Song Yingji."

The great elder's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it didn't sound like an old antique who had lived for nearly a hundred years. He stood up, and the strong wind blew the fluttering bright robes, dragging long fog shadows on the lake.

"——I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Ci looked at the blurry figure in front of him, smiled and said, "I guess you are waiting for me here, not to announce that I have reached the finish line."

"Arrived at the end?"

The great elder also smiled: "You are still far away from the end. At your current speed, no matter how long you walk, you will never reach the end of the Red Lake, let alone the other side of the light."

"I do not believe."

Song Ci asked: "Is there a lake in this world that you can't reach the end of if you keep walking?"

"I didn't believe it either."

The Great Elder said calmly: "Until I walked through it myself, the Red Lake... is just such a lake. But you actually have the opportunity to see the 'Light' in person."

"oh?"

Song Ci smiled and said: "The Great Elder wants to tell me that this opportunity is actually in your hands?"

"You are a smart man."

The great elder said: "But actually what I want to tell you is that this opportunity can be in your hands."

As he spoke, part of the heavy fog in the deepest part of the Red Lake dissipated, and the Great Elder revealed his figure and face. He had his hands behind his back, as if an elder was sizing up the young man he admired affectionately.

But for Song Ci.

This scrutinizing gaze.

More like a hunter looking at the prey that is about to be served to the table.

"I'm a fool."

Song Ci sighed and said: "Madam often says that my brain is not bright enough, and Xiao Gu also said that I would rather break than bend... So if you want to persuade me to convert to the light, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I came to Guangming City this time just to Tell everyone in the world that I am not interested in light, I have not been interested in it before, and I will never be interested in it in the future."

Speaking of the back.

He stared at the great elder's eyes, trying to see some fluctuations in the latter's eyes.

But the great elder still had that "appreciative" smile in his eyes.

His eyes moved from Song Ci's forehead, to his facial features, to his chest, lower abdomen, thighs... He was looking at the most delicious "food" he had ever seen in his life.

This [Immortal] who was in his prime, after training in the Fighting God Realm, his whole body was glowing with golden glow.

"Sorry...what did you just say?"

After looking around, the Great Elder looked up with a smile: "You don't want to be an [Apostle] of light?"

"..."

Song Ci turned his wrist, and all the bones in his body made a crackling sound like fried beans.

He said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I have never been an [apostle] of light. Even if I cannot have the slightest connection with other fire types in this life, I will not be bound to the light."

"You personally ruined this last chance."

The great elder said regretfully: "I know you are very good at fighting, but this is the Red Lake, and I am the great elder of the temple... No matter how good you are at fighting, it is useless."

Dark wind swirled in all directions.

Above the Red Lake, there are restrictions everywhere.

The great elder raised his palm slightly, hooked his five fingers, and a huge water prison rose from the water, imprisoning Song Ci inside.

"Click, click!"

Song Ci simply completed the warm-up. He glanced at the water dragon that trapped him. His expression did not change at all. He just looked at the Great Elder seriously and asked: "If I guessed correctly... the situation of the Light God Seat should be better than what you released." The news is even worse, right?”

"...?"

This sentence made the great elder's expression become a little gloomy.

"It's actually not hard to guess."

Song Ci said lightly: "After all, as an [Apostle of Light], I have the most direct and closest connection with the throne of God... I haven't sensed his call to me since a long time ago. The dream of light that fell on the apostle, The intensity is getting weaker and weaker, and there are even cases where apostles are resisting their faith from the bottom of their hearts... If there is no problem with the throne of God himself, this is really embarrassing."

"I know my own weight very well. Without Mr. Bai Shu, how would I be Guangming's opponent?"

He chuckled quietly.

"After coming to Guangming City, I am even more certain about this conjecture."

"The closer it is to decline, the more it wants to pretend to be strong. The temple overextends its finances to hold this grand ceremony, attracting countless extraordinary people from various ambassadors to participate in the Fire Trial in the City of Light... In fact, there will be no successors at all. No one can win, you want to draw the blood of extraordinary beings from other continents."

"What the City of Light really wants...is the power of faith, right?"

Song Ci asked with a smile: "The Throne of Light can't live long. Even the miracle of 'Sunset Mountain' can't be maintained. It requires a lot of faith to continue to live. This time, many people will spontaneously join the holy ceremony." The church, these are all high-quality and outstanding believers. Those extraordinary people who have returned to their respective territories will also be infected by this holy scripture. In this way, the number of believers in Guangming City will expand a lot. And the temple has also reached its peak. When the sickle reaps.”

The great elder looked meaningfully at the short-haired man in front of him.

He had to admit that the "smart people" he mentioned before were actually words against his will and were only used to praise and comfort him.

He had read Song Ci's files countless times.

This reckless man, who was born in the underground of the metropolis and was raised by Lu Nanzhi, is a model of "brave but reckless".

But after Song Ci said these words, the great elder changed his view.

"Song Ci, maybe you can really consider joining the Temple of Light."

The great elder smiled gently and said: "We really need the power of faith... If you are willing to help the church at this point, I will start a campaign in the name of the great elder of the temple, and the temple will treat you well."

Song Ci looked at the old man in front of him as if he were an idiot.

"What do you mean by treating me well? Only draw half of my blood?"

He placed one hand on the water prison.

boom!

Under the violent impact, the water prison was shattered. The red lake surged instantly, and huge energy swept across. Song Ci swept out with a whip leg, and the nearly 100 meters of red lake water turned into a tornado at this moment, rushing towards the ceiling. , However, this place is so big, hundreds of meters and thousands of meters long, it seems to be infinitely deep and vast like the sea.

The great elder stretched out his five fingers and pressed down.

The water prison that Song Ci had previously shattered regrouped, and this time turned into a huge palm, meeting the whip legs!

"Crash-"

The violent sound of the critical strike shattered thousands of water drops.

After Song Ci whipped his leg.

Red Lake returns to silence.

The sound of crackling water drops falling was like a downpour, which continued continuously for a while.

"Your physical body is indeed very strong. Maybe given you some time, you can practice to the level of the three great generals of Beizhou."

The great elder looked at the young man in front of him and said with emotion: "But your spirit... is too weak. Your life time is too short. Although you can barely enter meditation, you can see the end of your inner lake at a glance."

Song Ci frowned.

"so?"

"So...you can't understand how vast the true light is."

The great elder took out a piece of yellowed paper from his sleeve, and said calmly: "But it doesn't matter, you will see it next... Because of your lack of cooperation, the temple needs to waste a whole piece of paper..."

"Holy book."

The words "holy book" came out of Song Ci's mouth, which made the elder feel a little surprised.

"If I remember correctly, this thing should be called the Holy Book, right?"

Song Ci shook his hand and took out a piece of the same dead paper.

"???"

The great elder's expression was extremely wonderful.

Song Ci glanced at the one in the great elder's hand, and then at the one in his own hand.

After confirming that they were all the same, Song Ci fell into memories.

He murmured to himself: "It seems that there is no high threshold required to use this kind of thing... Well, you can activate it by injecting your own spirit into it. The rest is to consume the [Holy Book] itself." Strength.”

As soon as the voice fell, a fierce glow suddenly appeared on the withered yellow paper!

Song Ci aimed the holy book in his hand at the great elder and threw it——

The latter's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly poured his spiritual power into the holy book and threw it out together.

"boom!"

The two pages of the holy book collided together, bursting out with huge energy, and the majestic pressure suppressed the two of them——

Suddenly, it rained in reverse direction!

The mental pressure brought by the two pages of the [Holy Book] directly crushed the two people's hearts, forcing them to concentrate.

At the same time, the heavy pressure of the red lake water also acts on the physical body.

Song Ci groaned and almost fell to his knees on the lake. He held the lake with one hand and barely stopped from kneeling.

But even so, he still couldn't avoid blood spilling from his mouth and nose.

The great elder on the other side was even more miserable. Blood oozed from his seven orifices, and his eyes were all white.

The Red Lake, which was originally shrouded in heavy fog, suddenly lit up for a moment after the two pages of the Holy Book collided, but was soon shrouded in pitch-black gloom.

Thousands of black mist could clearly be seen on the ceiling, rushing towards the place where the two of them were.
