Barrier of Light

The redwood forest was filled with flames.

Gu Shen absorbed the essence that spilled out after the humanoid black hole shattered.

"The second realm of blazing fire requires about twice the amount of source material as the first realm."

The most difficult thing in the world is to go from zero to one.

The birth of the second realm only requires more source of essence than [Fire of Vitality], so its true cultivation difficulty is not as high as before.

Gu Shen's "Essence Absorption Speed" is now many times stronger than before breaking through.

As for the size of the spiritual sea, it has expanded to ten times the previous size.

Take the extraordinary person when the mission was restarted back then as a reference.

The spiritual sea of ​​Zhongyuan and Fisher that Gu Shen wanted to look up to back then was probably a "large lake".

Now that Gu Shen has completed his promotion, his mental power is equivalent to ten Fishers from that year.

This is the true spiritual sea.

In the next disaster mission, Gu Shen still retained the opportunity to give Shen Li a "trial", but he would also take action to absorb the part of the black hole essence that Shen Li could not handle. The current number of black spots in Wuzhou was really large. There are too many, and with the current manpower, there is simply no way to clean them all.

Seven days later, Gu Shen returned to Nagano.

The little iron man was so tired that he fell asleep directly in the dojo.

Xie Zheng clicked his tongue when he saw this scene.

He knew that Shen Li and Gu Shen had a very good relationship. During the years he stayed in Nagano, Shen Li's shadow could be seen in most trivial matters in the investigation team.

After the Grand Adjudicator took office, Shen Li went out to perform the mission, and Mr. Shan expressed his support.

Gu Shen's intention in doing this couldn't be more obvious.

Shen Li is the person he protects.

Originally, Xie Zheng was quite envious of this guy, and he even thought about going out on a mission with his husband.

As a result, when he saw Shen Li's exhausted appearance after he came back, he completely gave up his envious thoughts.

Are you going to Beizhou to fight?

Or go to the [Old World] to open up shipping routes?

Why are you so tired?

"Sir, the pendant has been repaired."

Xie Zheng took out the cross pendant that was intact as before. The force of fate bonded the two broken pendants back together to form a perfect "one".

Xie Zheng did not dare to use spiritual infusion.

Sealed objects of destiny are not something that ordinary people can control.

If you want to control this kind of sealed object, you first need to have a strong life. If a person with a weak life holds this pendant, it will only bring misfortune to himself!

certainly.

Xu Fang didn't need to think about it, because he didn't "use" the pendant from beginning to end.

The pendant itself exudes disorderly fluctuations of destiny-like rules.

He just passively accepted it and did not actively ask for spying, so he did not need to pay the price... But the corresponding thing was that he could only get some "small favors". For an extraordinary person, picking up those few steel coins is completely meaningless, and fate just gives He received some trivial favors from him.

The luckiest thing that happened to Xu Fang in his life was meeting Gu Shen. And his greatest opportunity was to hand over the incomplete pendant to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen would not treat him badly.

Xu Fang will live a very safe and happy life under the protection of Nagano for the rest of his life.

…

…

Gu Shen took the pendant and looked at it carefully. After the repair, the pendant seemed to be the same as before.

Hmm... Is it because I am not in "danger" at the moment?

No matter what, wearing the full version of [The Protection of the Goddess of Destiny] made Gu Shen feel a ray of warmth in his heart.

Safety!

I am safe now!

Mu Wanqiu received news that it would take about two days to reach the Snow Forbidden City, and Gu Shen had not been idle these two days.

He met the Qingsui girl, and now he should be called the head of the Qingsui family.

Li Qingsui is now the only person in power of the Li family.

Gu Shen even told her the identity of "Pluto", and there was nothing to hide about the identity of Shen Li's apostle. After getting Qingsui's approval, he actually took the little iron man to the Shenci Mountain.

In recent years, there have been no guardians on the temple mountain.

Qingsui needs to handle all matters big and small alone.

Compared with Qingsui, Shen Li is much more leisurely.

If I leave Nagano, this [Apostle] will come often, and the flowerbed on the top of the mountain will ensure that black flowers will not breed.

Even if Gu Shen wanted to cut off the black withered flowers all over the mountains and plains of this temple, it would take a long time.

I'm afraid I have to wait until I can smelt fire before the temple can see the light of day again.

Asking Shen Li to guard Shenci Mountain is not really to treat him as an iron man.

[Apostle] is able to remove disordered source matter. In the process of pruning the "black flower", this can also be regarded as a kind of practice.

The essence of Shenci Mountain is obviously overflowing.

When he is away, Shen Li often comes, which is also good for him.

There are still a lot of trivial matters in Nagano, except for those case files that have been piled up for a long time.

All other trivial matters need to be handled by Gu Shen personally.

Just like the remaining "factional disputes" within the headquarters of the Judgment Office...

Zhou E, Jin Yun and others have been fighting within the tribunal for a long time. The two factions are deeply rooted. Before Gu Shen came to the throne, it was understandable for them to fight, but now it is different.

Gu Shen did not want to see the "separation" between the teacher and Zhu Wang happen again within the adjudication office.

So after Gu Shen took care of the trivial matters at the temple, he left and visited the dojos of the two first and second adjudicators in person.

Gu Shen first went to Zhou E Dojo.

The first adjudicator has accepted many disciples, and there are many talented people in the dojo. However, Zhou E has been in seclusion alone in the past few days without seeing any outsiders. The dojo is managed by junior brother Zhou E. When Gu Shen meets After arriving, the dojo quickly offered tea and invited people to sit down, but Gu Shen had no intention of staying any longer.

He came directly to Zhou E's retreat room.

There are layers of boundaries here.

But he couldn't stop Gu Shen's "blazing fire" sense. He saw Zhou E sitting cross-legged and shrouded in haze through the barrier.

Retreat?

Zhou E can't even enter silence now!

After that day.

Judge Zhou E's situation plummeted.

Zhou E, who has always had the upper hand in the competition for "Grand Adjudicator", is now showing signs of decline. The "big defeat" in the dojo a few days ago almost broke his Taoist heart. During that period, he faced Gu Shenlian. The images of the battle that could not even be spoken have been circulated within the three institutes. The first adjudicator who was at the height of his power has now become the "laughing stock" of his colleagues after dinner.

The word "laughing stock" is a bit exaggerated.

Zhou E could not speak in front of Gu Shen, but he was still the strongest person banned by the ruling...

When the extraordinary people in the Three Institutes talked about this matter, few would laugh at Zhou E for his lack of strength.

Most of them were lamenting that Gu Shen was now so powerful that it was beyond ordinary imagination!

The popularity of the Deep Water Area is unprecedented. There are a large number of posts every day, demonstrating Gu Shen's cultivation realm and true strength. Countless people firmly believe that Gu Shen is the most extraordinary person in the Five Continents who is closest to God.

"You are here..."

Zhou E, who was sitting in the quiet room, spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, Grand Adjudicator, please forgive me for the inconvenience of going out to see you at this moment."

Gu Shen hummed softly and said calmly: "There is no need to meet, as long as we can have a normal conversation."

Zhou E smiled very self-deprecatingly and said: "It's that time of year again when the order within the adjudication office changes. Are you here to inform me about the change in order?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "You are still number one."

"...?"

Zhou E raised his head blankly.

After offending Gu Shen, he was ready to be punished and convicted.

But, no.

The dojo has been extremely quiet these days. He inquired several times about the movements of the Grand Adjudicator, and the news he received was that the Grand Adjudicator had left Nagano and was dealing with the backlog of case files that had been backlogged for many years.

"No change...I'm still No. 1?"

Zhou E suspected that he heard wrongly.

"You are a little stronger than Jin Yun, but only a little." Gu Shen said lightly: "If you continue to lock yourself in the dojo, you may be surpassed by him next."

Zhou E was stunned.

"Aren't you here to punish me?"

"Punishment..."

Gu Shen shook his head and said: "It's wrong to want to be the chief adjudicator. If you are punished because of this incident... then Jin Yun should also be punished. The supreme leader of the adjudication office is so vacant. It is reasonable for you to want to fight for many years."

Zhou E murmured: "But I said those words in the dojo."

"What kind of words?"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "When I asked you, weren't you unable to speak a single word?"

Zhou E was completely silent.

He gave a wry smile, dug his fingers into his palms, and laughed at himself: "Yes... I am very different from you. I obviously want to be the Grand Adjudicator, but when I face you, I can't even say a word. I've been I am even thinking about whether to apply for transfer out of Nagano."

Gu Shen asked: "Why, just because you were embarrassed that time in the dojo?"

Zhou E was speechless.

"There is no shame in losing to me."

Gu Shen said calmly: "If you choose to give up because of this level of frustration... then you will not have the chance to become a grand adjudicator. Life is so long, you must always look up and look forward."

Zhou E raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and confusion.

He never imagined that Gu Shen came in person to comfort and encourage him.

"But no matter how hard I try...I can't compare with you."

Zhou E smiled bitterly and said, "Now everyone in the outside world says that you are the extraordinary person closest to God..."

The sounds coming from the deep water area are really too loud.

Even if Gu Shen doesn't pay much attention, he can still hear it.

In response to this, he could only smile helplessly in his heart and pass it off.

The closest thing to God’s transcendence?

Not even close.

He's not even close yet.

Driven by the great cause of converging, Gu Shen's reputation has reached the highest level in the past hundred years in the Five Continents. He is indeed the most famous extraordinary person under God.

His own blazing second area has not yet been developed.

Even if the Pure Land cannot open up a second realm, if he wants to be promoted again in the future, there is still a huge threshold for "three-in-one"...

Ask yourself, if you pass several thresholds, the title of "the closest to God's extraordinary" will be worthy of its name.

But now Gu Shen knew that there were several extraordinary beings at the same level as himself, or even stronger than him.

The three generals in Beizhou have long since concealed their fame.

"Mr. Tianshui", who has lived in the Tower of Source for a long time, has exceeded the life limit several times like the Sky God Throne.

It is said that the "Saint of the Spring Plow" can crush all the saints in the Holy City with his own power.

By the way, there is also the amazingly talented Xiao Xiu... Although he doesn't know Bai Xiu's current specific strength, Gu Shen has a vague feeling that Xiao Xiu has definitely reached the highest level among titles.

Xiaoxiu had a fight with Mu Wanqiu.

If his strength hadn't reached the point where Xiaoqiu couldn't look up to him.

Mu Wanqiu would never have the idea of ​​challenging "Pluto" to see where his true strength lies... It is very likely that he was beaten by Bai Xiu into doubting his life.

Just the ones Gu Shen thought of now were as powerful as himself.

Not to mention the great master of Atractylodes Atractylodes (Reverse Flow) back then, and Mr. Gu Changzhi who overpowered Atractylodes Atractylodes before smelting the fire.

There are too many mountains in the world.

Even though he is considered one of them now, he is by no means the truly top one.

"Am I the closest to God? I'm really not..."

Gu Shen's voice reached the heart of Zhou E, who was confused and confused in the quiet room.

"Zhou E, this is a very good era, the stars are bright and dazzling."

"It's just a star on the zenith. If you pick one out alone, no matter how dazzling it is, it won't block the light of other stars."

Gu Shen stood up and said before leaving: "If you want to choose to shine, why should you care about the glow of other stars?"
