Barrier of Light

The Red Lake in Guangming City has not welcomed new guests for a long time.

Since Jia Wei died.

This lake was sealed off by the temple.

As the appointed successor of the throne, Meng Xizhou began to take over the entire temple.

In the past six months, Guangming City has suffered a major shock, losing high-level combat power one after another, including Long Qi, Yin Zhuo, Yuan Yang, Gao Yi, Jia Wei...

A total of five people were banned.

Even though this city of faith has rich heritage, it is still a little unable to cope with such a huge deficit.

Meng Xizhou urgently mobilized all the counties and cities within Xizhou to replenish the seats in the temple. There are still some extraordinary titles in Xizhou. Although there is some lack of high-end combat power, a lot of resources are invested in training, and they can be filled soon. Back.

Fenghao's death greatly damaged the vitality of the temple.

But this doesn't hurt the bones.

"My Lady Goddess, according to your instructions, the fourth-level powerhouses who came from other counties and cities have been arranged to stay in the temple mansion."

Batu and Meng Xizhou stood by the Red Lake together.

He whispered: "There are eleven people in total, and there are only three who have the hope of entering the title realm."

"Three, that's a lot."

Meng Xizhou said calmly: "As long as they can pass the trial of the Heart Washing Pool, they will be given the 'Dream of Bright Fire'. These eleven fourth-level people will all be included in the elders' chair...according to their past contributions to the temple and actual combat Strength, ranking. If you can be promoted to title, you will be given the treatment of a formal elder."

"yes."

Batu spoke respectfully, but quickly asked: "The position of the Great Elder is still vacant..."

His tone was hesitant.

This is also the biggest problem facing the temple today.

True.

The rich heritage accumulated over the years has allowed Guangming City to quickly cultivate several extraordinary beings at the title level.

But they want to create a top-level combatant like Gao Yi who has both strength and reputation.

But it is impossible.

"Does the temple today still need a great elder?"

Meng Xizhou turned around, looked at Batu, and asked this question.

Batu fell into silence.

After a moment, he said sincerely: "Although Gao Yu did many wrong things, he also took the temple a long way."

Without Gao Yi, these people at the elders' table would be nothing but a piece of loose sand.

And these wrong things may not happen.

The significance of the Great Elder's existence is to unite with the elder's seat in the temple.

Those who can enter the core of the temple are strong men who have cultivated to a certain height.

They need "leaders".

"What the Great Elder can do, I can also do." Meng Xizhou said in a calm tone: "Have I not already handled all the case files that Gao Yu left behind?"

As soon as this statement came out, Batu could not refute it.

During this time, he followed the goddess and dealt with the long-backlogged case files in the temple.

Because of his physical inconvenience, Gao Yi spends most of his time in the nutrition cabin. He usually only makes decisions as the great elder, and leaves many important tasks to Yuan Yang, Su Ye, and Yao Jin. This kind of capable subordinates will handle it, but after all, some things are not convenient to entrust to outsiders.

So those things that are not urgent or important are shelved.

Just two months.

Meng Xizhou cleared all the case files that had been backlogged at the highest level of the temple for several years.

This ability to do things was eye-opening to Batu, and he also greatly admired her... At this point, the goddess was indeed much better than the great elder.

"You're right."

Batu said in a deep voice: "There's just one thing I must confess to you. After that night at the Red Lake, the elders at the table actually still have doubts about your status in the temple..."

Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows.

She looked at the calm lake in the distance.

This Guangming City is like the red lake in front of us. It looks calm on the surface, like a flat mirror.

But in fact, when the lake water goes down ten meters, the undercurrent overturns.

"Oh, who's questioning me?"

Her seemingly casual words made Batu's whole body tense up.

"a lot of."

Batu sighed: "Master God chose you as the future leader. There is nothing dissatisfied with everyone... It's just that some of the decisions you made have caused dissatisfaction among many people."

Gao Yi asked Yuan Yang to develop the power of faith.

Yuan Yang is not alone in this matter.

The entire temple elders are promoting the power of faith in the Church of Light... That's why there are so many dark people in Beizhou.

After Meng Xizhou took over the power, he carried out drastic reforms on the elder seats of the temple.

"Are they those people from Xihaidu?"

Meng Xizhou seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Batu remained silent, but this was already an answer.

Xihaidu, as the top-secret place for cultivating shadows in Guangming City, this area was cut off by Gao Yu and given to the elders of the Guangming Temple according to their power and status. After the struggle at the Red Lake Night, the elders' seat became vacant. Half, and the half with the highest rank, the remaining elders began to fight and plunder Xihaidu.

Su Ye and Yao Jin were both born here.

Guangming City is exposed to the sun all year round, while Xihaidu has always been hidden in the shadows.

Meng Xizhou ordered the big shots in charge of Xihaidu not to send secrets to the outside world for a short period of time.

This prohibition is the source of "dissatisfaction".

From the perspective of real interests, not conveying secrets to the outside world is not a loss...

But from the perspective of these big shots, Meng Xizhou's ban is actually a test. If Xihaidu follows the ban, then more and more stringent restrictions will follow.

And then to the end.

The confidants and shadows they cultivated to die will all be uprooted by Meng Xizhou with one hand.

As a result, discordant sounds began to appear in the temple.

Meng Xizhou actually saw this phenomenon, and even if Batu didn't say anything, she was ready to solve it.

"Tell them that this problem can be solved today. Call everyone at the elders' table, call the candidates, and ask them all to wait for me outside the temple."

Meng Xizhou smiled and said, "I'm going to see the throne. When I come back... I'll give them a satisfactory answer."

This was said very softly.

But Batu felt the coldness of the killing.

He bowed his head and accepted the order.

Then the entire Red Lake returned to silence again. The sun set at dusk and the afterglow swayed. The huge Red Lake was like a wide wine glass, reflecting an intoxicating glow.

Meng Xizhou stepped onto the lake.

The huge red lake was unobstructed in her field of vision, with no fog or obstruction.

She walked so slowly and steadily until she reached the end of the Red Lake.

Meng Xizhou stared at the small wooden house not far away.

Before setting foot on the Red Lake, her eyes were fixed on this point.

The entire Red Lake, the entire temple...or rather, the entire City of Light.

The only place she can't see through is this small wooden house. This is the place where the God of Light rests. It is shrouded in countless powerful holy lights. As long as she doesn't get close and stands fifty meters away, she won't feel it. There is something strange about this wooden house.

But if you step into the domain boundary, you will notice the difference.

There were at least nearly ten thousand blazing holy lights surrounding the wooden house.

Meng Xizhou has been close to light since she was born. There is a kind of light in this world. Whether it is the brilliant light cast by the blazing sun at noon or the flowing light of the bright moon at midnight, they all resonate with her... But she can't See clearly the true appearance of the wooden house in the holy light barrier.

Ten thousand layers of light are still light.

It's light, she should be able to see through it.

And this was something that Meng Xizhou couldn't figure out and couldn't understand.

Maybe it's because my own realm is not enough, or maybe it's because the barrier master's realm is too high?

Or maybe, these lights are not the lights that I understand.

"You came."

Just as Meng Xizhou's thoughts were wandering, a hoarse voice came from the wooden house, accompanied by a slight cough.

"I've been feeling physical pain lately. Maybe it's because I've lived for too long. I've started to feel drowsy and often dream about my own death."

The old man's voice was very haggard: "I'll have to trouble you to handle the matter over at Red Lake."

"No problem."

Meng Xizhou said softly: "I have already taken care of the matters at the temple. There are just some minor hiccups... These are not big problems."

"I see it all."

The old man smiled happily and said: "The temple is now in a period of rapid replacement. Thank you for your troubles on these trivial matters."

"what is this?"

Meng Xizhou shook her head, and she suddenly asked: "I just don't know how I handled it...are you satisfied?"

When she said this, she looked straight at the wooden house.

pity.

These lights are so strong that the layers are like woven fabric.

She couldn't see the scene inside the wooden house, nor could she see the look on the old man's face at this moment.

"I am very satisfied."

The God of Light smiled and said: "You did the right thing about the West Sea Crossing... Since I have chosen you to be my successor, I naturally support these things you have done."

Hearing this answer, Meng Xizhou felt a little relieved.

"Gao Yu and Jia Wei are dead."

She said seriously: "Nowadays, Xizhou... lacks a powerful enough title. This matter is a problem that the temple today cannot solve no matter how much resources it devotes."

"..."

The old man in the wooden house fell into deep thought.

"Song Ci gave up his identity as [Apostle of Light] and returned to the capital of Dongzhou."

Meng Xizhou said slowly: "Today's temple, the right to speak in the Five Continents has been greatly reduced. I had a conversation with the Tower of Source a few days ago, and I can clearly feel the change in attitude in Central Continent. If possible, I I hope you can give me another Apostle Token."

She paused and said: "If... a strong man in charge of the origin can appear in the temple, then everything will be different."

The old man in the wooden house was silent for a moment, and then asked: "It is not impossible to give the apostle token. How do you plan to use it?"

"Look for a powerful enough title within the temple's elders' seat."

Meng Xizhou said word by word: "This is the fastest way I can think of to cultivate a strong 'original' person."

The old man smiled and said: "Then have you ever thought that once you use this method to create an apostle, your position will be impossible to keep?"

"I do not care."

Meng Xizhou said: "In addition, I am also a candidate for the Apostle Token...According to your plan, I will also take over this fire in the future, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the other side of the Red Lake became a little subtle.

This topic is somewhat sensitive.

Death is a cruel truth that no one is willing to face, even the God Throne is no exception. The longer you live, the higher your status, and the stronger your strength, the more you fear death.

"I hope you can hold the temple firmly in your hands."

The voice of the old man in the wooden house was very calm, and he dismissed Meng Xizhou's proposal in an understatement: "As for the 'Apostle Token', if the time is right, I will give it to you... You have to know that if Xizhou encounters any unsolvable crisis, it will definitely not be An apostle who has come into contact with the source can solve it.”

"……yes."

Meng Xizhou was disappointed in her heart, but she could only nod her head. She lowered her eyes to hide her expression at the moment.

"In addition, Guangming City is not without powerful people who control the origin."

The old man in the wooden house said softly: "Some people who belong to Guangming City do not necessarily need to stay in Guangming City."
