Barrier of Light

"Pluto!!!"

"You owe us this!"

The roaring sound of the black snow mountain giant was blocked by the source of destruction barrier.

The rusty bone general held down the bronze sword with both hands, but without any movement from him, a circle of dark ripples burst out from the tip of the bronze sword.

There was a loud bang.

The huge palm that reached the sky suddenly hit the ground, countless dust and smoke rolled, and the entire arm of the black snow mountain giant was deeply embedded in the ground.

The strength of the three generals is almost the same as each other.

But due to the different origins of understanding——

The fighting styles and areas of expertise of the three are also completely different!

The white lizard who understands the origin of life is better at saving lives and exploring ruins; the silver fox who understands the origin of space is better at long-distance teleportation.

And what Xiugu, who has understood the "origin of destruction", is best at... is fighting.

In other words, kill people!

"Uh-huh..."

The painful voice of the black snow mountain giant shook the whole world.

With just one strike from Rusty Bones, the arm was unable to be lifted, and the scene fell into silence.

"calm down."

"Did you recognize my Hellfire?"

Gu Shen slowly took off the firelight between his eyebrows and released it.

A blazing fire mixed with a wisp of pitch-black color floated in the void, blooming like a lotus.

"In fact, I am not the same as the previous Hades who deceived the Traveler tribe."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and said: "I come here with sincerity, and I can swear on my soul that if you are willing to use the ancient text of 'Portal' in exchange, I can immediately share the coordinates of the Five Continents with you."

Xiugu looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

This guy is really a thief.

The world will continue to restart. Even if the traveler group obtains the coordinates of the five continents...the next time it restarts, its memory will be erased.

But the memory of ancient portal texts will not be forgotten by "outsiders"!

Rumble, rumble!

The black snow mountain giant slowly came closer, its eyes widened, staring at the ants on the ground and the wisp of ghost fire.

Gu Shen was also able to observe the texture on the giant's body up close.

and the "traveler himself" carrying a hunched burden on his back.

The man on the stone wall was nailed to death by the [Candle Extinguishing] arrow. Judging from the transaction between Pluto and the Traveler, the Traveler himself should have been crucified thirty years ago. At that time, it was when Gu Changzhi became enlightened. God's occasion.

Ever since he was shot with an arrow when he was young, Qinglong has been on guard against the reappearance of [Candle Extinguisher].

If this artifact reappears in the world, it will definitely attract his attention and action!

Judging from the results, it is obvious that until now, Qingwu did not know that this magical bow had reappeared in Wuzhou thirty years ago and was controlled by others...

So who was the one who nailed the Traveler?

In Gu Shen's vision, the person who currently occupies the biggest suspicion is Pluto.

Only the God Throne can kill the God Throne...

No matter how powerful the others are, without fire or origin, they cannot nail the traveler himself into the stone wall.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, wanting to observe more carefully.

He noticed that the lines on the stone wall seemed familiar, as if they were ancient texts that he had dismantled.

But the next moment, a dull voice sounded from above.

"Pluto..."

The black snow mountain giant in front of him spoke very slowly.

This big guy obviously had wisdom, but after several conversations, Gu Shen felt that it didn't have much wisdom.

Not an idiot, but not much better.

It opened its mouth and spit out the icy-cold storm. Every word was like a cannonball, causing ripples to appear on the origin shield.

"Can't believe it... Pluto!!!"

As these words were ejected from the cannon, it raised its second arm and smashed it down overwhelmingly.

Boom!

This arm was like a huge whip of tens of millions of tons, hitting the ground, cracking the land, sinking to both sides, and turning into a deep valley!

In the large sunken pit, a dark circular origin shield was suspended in the air.

"Does this count as a breakdown in negotiations?"

Xiugu looked down at Gu Shen.

"..."

Gu Shen looked gloomy and let out a faint breath.

He really wanted to dig out the ashes of his predecessor Pluto and burn them again... How many bad relationships did this guy have? In this restarted world, I have to be tired of it!

In desperation, Gu Shen sighed softly: "Let's do it."

This negotiation has failed.

Because he has already felt...the entire zenith of the disaster barrier is shaking!

Judging from his last battle experience with Baixiu, the travelers have begun to open the gate to the void and prepare for a large-scale battle.

Rusty Bones has the origin of destruction and doesn't care about this level of fighting.

But the situation on the teacher's side is not optimistic.

Once someone among the outsiders dies, the world will immediately restart.

As soon as the word "action" came out of his mouth, the evil spirit that had been suppressed in Xiugu's body for a long time burst out impatiently!

Circles of dark ripples enveloped the body like a halo, and the earth and rocks with a radius of one kilometer were constantly shattered and torn apart. A bronze giant hundreds of meters tall held his hands on both sides of the gap in the earth's crust, and it just rose up from the ground, constantly rising and growing. , after reaching 100 meters, he ran forward with big strides, setting off a huge gust of wind and snow!

"boom!"

The loud noise reached into the sky.

Both giants entered a state of rage!

When the giant that condensed the origin of destruction collided with the black snow mountain giant, his body shape was almost the same as that of the latter. This was an equal battle. The two giants pressed each other's shoulders and wrestled with each other——

In an instant, layers of sound waves spread.

Rusty Bones used its original power to protect Gu Shen. During the violent turbulence, the bronze giant continued to grow in size, even overwhelming the black snow mountain giant!

From the beginning of this wrestling match, Rusty Bones had the upper hand with an absolute advantage, not only because the source of destruction was powerful enough, but also because the anger of his old friend's death was accumulated in his heart!

Silver Fox was defeated in this battle!

If the [Deep Sea] hadn't blocked him, he would have arrived here in time to save the situation... Now that his enemy had met, he was extremely jealous, and he wanted to vent all the anger he had accumulated in his heart!

"kill!"

Rusty Bones held the bronze sword in both hands, raising it high, and his cold eyes were dyed bronze.

The giant of destruction raised his sword and slashed it down!

Buzz!

The black snow mountain giant raised its arm to block it. As an extraordinary life form of the traveler tribe that has evolved to the extreme, although it has not understood the "origin of the domain", its physical body has evolved to the extreme, and its rusty bones are full of murderous intent. , it actually blocked it with its own arm——

Gu Shen was not unfamiliar with this scene.

The "traveler" apostle who pulled out the sheath in the tundra was so physically strong that the Queen used the Sword of Three Thousand Great Colds to kill him!

Rusty Bones' every move was a killing move, and the Black Snow Mountain giant was defeated and retreated, only to be able to parry.

But Gu Shen knew very well that the "advantage" held by Rusty Bones in front of him was not enough to turn into a "victory".

The strongest sword under the throne meets the strongest shield of the same level. If the battle between these two origins wants to determine the outcome... I am afraid it will take a long, long time!

"Mr. Rusty Bones, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time."

Gu Shen reminded in a low voice: "The best thing to do is return to the airship and leave this world..."

Rusty Bones was already furious at this moment.

The Destruction Giant grew two heads and four arms, holding bronze swords with both hands. With two hands, it pierced the chest of the Black Snow Mountain Giant, but this big guy had no "heart" at all, and even the "limbs" that were cut off could grow rapidly. , every attack of Rusty Bone is indeed powerful, and it can parry and destroy the source, so it is not an unsolvable problem for it.

It's nothing more than consuming one's own life and forcibly counteracting it... Anyway, its life is long enough!

Gu Shen's voice made Xi Gu calm down.

He glanced at the zenith of the disaster barrier and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay! Let's leave now!"

He suppressed the black snow mountain giant and beat him up violently.

The anger in Xiugu's heart was only partially dissipated, but not completely.

But he knew very well that Gu Shen was right... Even if he went through a fierce battle and killed this black snow mountain giant, what would happen?

When the world restarts, this giant will be "resurrected".

The purpose of coming to negotiate this time is to get the ancient text on opening the door.

"But now that we are gone, what will happen to the Traveler Clan's 'Gateway' ancient text?"

Rusty Bones looked solemn.

This problem also gave Gu Shen a headache.

He wants to get the Traveler Clan's "Gateway" ancient text more than anyone else, but this black snow mountain giant refuses to negotiate at all!

In a daze, Gu Shen once again caught a glimpse of the "Traveler's Stone" carried on the shoulders of the giant in the black snow mountain!

It is engraved with dense ancient texts!

"Ancient prose...wait, what kind of ancient prose is this?"

Gu Shen's heart froze.

"Mr. Rusty Bones, can you take me there?"

His eyes were locked on the traveler's shoulder.

The stone tablet that crucified the traveler was surrounded by wind and snow, and the giants of the Black Snow Mountain "tried their best" to downplay it. Normally, no one would notice such a small bump in such a majestic snow mountain.

No one would have thought that this raised stone tablet was also engraved with obscure ancient texts!

"……good."

Xiugu glanced at the location pointed by Gu Shen and immediately agreed!

He slashed out with his sword, and the bronze sword light turned into a rainbow, drawing a cross on the chest of the black snow mountain giant!

The latter retreated while wailing, and was forcibly suppressed to the ground by the Destruction Titan.

A gentle force emerged from the destruction source shield, sending Gu Shen out... In just a few seconds, Gu Shen landed at the stone monument smoothly.

"Gu Shen, the power of this giant is very powerful, I can only suppress it for a short time."

Rusty Bone reminded: "You need to come back as soon as possible before your original power is exhausted. Only by staying with me can I protect you."

The giant felt something strange on his body and was struggling wildly.

The temperature at the location of the stone monument rose suddenly.

The source of destruction shield is also being consumed rapidly...

Gu Shen knew that he didn't have much time.

He looked at the traveler who was sleeping with his head down and said calmly: "We meet again. You didn't expect to see me here again, right?"

In the dream of Black Snow Mountain, the two met countless times.

Only this time, the traveler himself did not open his eyes.

"With your strength, even if you lose to Pluto, you won't be killed in such an embarrassing manner... But besides Pluto, can anyone else hurt you like this?"

Gu Shen looked at the withered body on the stone wall.

He said with a slight sarcasm: "You can't be the descendant of the 'Hunter' of the starship civilization, right?"

Speaking of this, Gu Shen looked a little strange.

Descendants of the Hunter God.

Back then, God Hunter went to stop the super-giant storm of energy alone...According to the words of the Lord of Love, he succeeded, but he also failed. Without the dedication of God Hunter, the departure of the starship civilization would not be so smooth. , in other words, the Hunter God constellation really "blocked" the coming of the super giant storm!

When the God of Hunting died, his fire was also gone.

So many years have passed.

His fire has never appeared, but the candle is still there!

"The traveler tribe does not know the Five Continent scripts, so what they record history is the 'ancient script'..."

Gu Shen touched the words on the stone wall, glanced at the traveler's dry fingertips stained with coagulated blood, and murmured: "So the things on the stone wall are the 'messages' that the traveler himself wanted to leave behind before he died. ?”

This probably contains the most important thing about the traveler clan.

Such as the "portal" secret technique.

Also like...

The whereabouts of the extinguished candle!

"Enlightenment... I want to understand as soon as possible..."

Gu Shen held his breath. At this moment, he completely forgot about time. The battle outside and the thunder in the sky were all forgotten by him.

His mind was entirely focused on this stone tablet.

"Oops."

When Xiugu saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat!

Although he is in charge of fighting, he also knows that comprehending ancient texts cannot be accomplished in a short time... He can suppress this black snow mountain giant for ten minutes at most. In just ten minutes, how could Gu Shen be able to comprehend it? This entire stone tablet?

But the next moment.

His expression changed again.

The blazing fire floating between Gu Shen's eyebrows slowly dispersed and turned into eight weak flames, and between the swaying... the eighth flame fissioned again.

Nine wisps of flame in total!

These nine wisps of flames were thrown into the nine ancient characters on the front of the stone tablet... Gu Shen's body suddenly became blurred, as if nine Gu Shens appeared at the same time, superimposed at the same time.

Rusty Bone's eyes were full of disbelief, because he knew very well what this scene meant!

"This is...the power of flow?"

"The power of the Nine Paths of Heart Flow?!"

Among the three generals, the person who is best at mental state cultivation is Silver Fox. At his peak, Silver Fox was able to differentiate into seven strands of flow power. Even Her Majesty the Queen was amazed by this ability to manipulate distractions.

Rusty Bones always thought that this was the limit that humans could reach!

But now he saw Gu Shen exerting the power of the Nine Heart Flows... Even the Silver Fox at its strongest peak could only be crushed.

"So...is it nine times the speed of enlightenment?"

A drop of sweat broke out on Rusty Bone's forehead.

He never expected that Gu Shen could perform such extreme operations.

From this point of view, understanding the contents on the Traveler's Stone Tablet has changed from "impossible" to "possible".

Rusty Bones held his breath and focused wholeheartedly on the battle in front of him——

Every minute you delay.

Gu Shen will have nine more minutes!

…

…

Gu Shen's spirit was immersed in an unprecedented "ethereal" state.

The power of the Nine Paths of Heart Flow.

He did not feel "split". On the contrary, his spiritual sea was more harmonious than ever before.

At this moment, Gu Shen was not only comprehending the ancient texts on the stone tablet, but he also vaguely felt the true power represented by the "power of flow".

For extraordinary people, the improvement in combat power brought about by mental state cultivation is indeed very small.

But this is the only way for mortals to "promote" to godhood by relying on their own strength...

The more flow power you have, the more stable your mind will be.

Later in the practice, the "breakthrough" in the power of flow will bring "qualitative changes" to the extraordinary!

The power of the nine heart flows gathered together, and Gu Shen felt that his spiritual sea was expanding again. He seemed to be able to perceive "things" that he had never sensed before.

"Is this my spiritual world?"

At this moment, Gu Shen was sitting in front of the Heart Lake. He looked at the vast sea of ​​spirit in front of him. He could feel the sound of ancient texts beating in the Heart Lake. It was the result of the nine himself constantly comprehending the ancient texts.

The next moment, he looked down at the lake with confusion in his eyes.

If we say... the "self" represented by the power of the Nine Paths of Heart Flow is comprehending ancient texts.

So who is the "self" sitting here at this moment?

He stretched out his palm and touched the lake.

But it stopped halfway.

“The me who sits here now… is the ‘I’, the ‘I’, and the only ‘I’.”

Gu Shen's confused eyes quickly regained clarity. He looked at himself in the lake and said slowly: "To me, the power of the Nine Heart Flows is nothing...not losing myself is the most important thing."

The ten states of flow are the limit of ordinary life!

Gu Shen was confident that he could break this limit...but at this moment, he felt that he was currently in a "limited state".

“The reason why ordinary people cannot break the ‘limit’ is because they ignore the ‘true self’.”

Gu Shen thought thoughtfully and spoke calmly: "Once you can't distinguish the priorities, there is no point in developing more 'flow power'."

Having said this, Gu Shen reflected in the lake seemed to smile slightly.

This slight movement was caught by Gu Shen.

"who?!"

Gu Shen's expression suddenly became threatening.

This is his spiritual world, how could he allow other spirits to exist?

"Wow!"

Gu Shen stretched out his palm and pierced it into the lake water. He grabbed a "substantial" object and lifted it out of the water. It was a heavy self. The two looked at each other. At this moment, the "Gu Shen in the lake" Shen" there was still a faint smile on the corners of his lips.

"Who are you?"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

"I... am you."

The figure who was lifted out of the lake by Gu Shen was not nervous or afraid. His feet were just hanging above the lake, and his whole body was wet and dripping with lake water.

He reached out and touched his face, smiled and said, "Is there something different between us?"

"..."

Gu Shen looked at "himself" in front of him expressionlessly.

There is nothing strange about the heart lake.

The power of the nine heart flows is running, and ancient texts are constantly jumping into the heart lake.

"you are not me."

Gu Shen shook his head and let go of his hand.

The "Gu Shen in the Lake" that was lifted up just fell down, but it did not sink. Instead, it fell on the lake and looked at Gu Shen with a smile.

"Why?"

In the lake, Gu Shen spoke with a smile and sat down cross-legged. He didn't mind that he was in a mess, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Gu Shen slowly walked onto the lake.

He looked under him... There was no shadow of either his real self or his mirror image.

"It's very simple, because this is my 'spiritual world'. If I say yes, there will be. If I say no, there will be no."

Gu Shen sat in front of the false self and said word by word: "So...if I say you are not me, you are not me."

"So."

The fake Gu Shen suddenly stopped smiling, tilted his head and asked seriously: "Who am I?"

This problem has made the lake look dead again.

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and fell into thought.

The figure in front of him was indeed an "existence" exactly like himself.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a problem. Before he stepped into this world as an outsider, there was still a Gu Shen in this world.

And it’s the “protagonist” Gu Shen.

In the previous reincarnation, Zhou Ji man Luo Er Zhongwei tried his best to protect "Gu Shen" who was restarting the world from dying.

But now that he has arrived, that false Gu Shen has suddenly disappeared...

Where did that fake Gu Shen go?

At this moment, Gu Shen raised his head, looked directly at the figure sitting in front of him, and spoke coldly.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you have any idea?"

Gu Shen was stunned for a second.

"How should I call you... Speaking of the 'original will' of the void world, does it have its own 'name'?"

Gu Shen said expressionlessly: "You can't think that you are the real 'Gu Shen' because you have been living under my name, right?"

"ha."

When Gu Shen, who was sitting cross-legged, heard this, he stopped pretending, and his face began to fade away, turning into a faint fluorescent light.

After a few seconds.

Sitting cross-legged on the lake was just a vague human figure.

"This is only the second 'restart'."

The original will supported his chin and sighed: "I didn't expect that you and I would meet so quickly. Gu Shen... your advancement speed is too fast, right?"

"..."

Gu Shen stared coldly at the figure in front of him, filled with fear.

"Without you, how long would it take for those guys outside to see me...?"

The figure of the original will revealed at this moment is very thin. It stretches out a finger and slowly stirs the surface of the lake, creating circles of ripples.

It smiled and asked: "Two hundred times, three hundred times...or until death, no chance?"

Gu Shen remained silent.

He just stared at the figure in front of him silently, thinking about the conditions that triggered this meeting.

Is it because of the ancient text on the Traveler's Stone?

No.

Not because of the ancient inscriptions on the stone tablet!

It's because he has made a breakthrough in his "state of mind practice". In this world that is constantly restarting, some things cannot be restricted.

Such as one's own blazing fire.

Another example is state of mind practice.

Restarting the world will not take away the memories of outsiders, but it will force the outsiders' "supernatural power" back to a time in line with the trajectory of the world.

For example, if the restart start time goes back one year.

Then the senior sister will regress from the title strength of [Tian Tong] back to the fourth level.

"Without you, the most promising of these people would be Rusty Bones."

Origin Will smiled and said: "After all, his strength will not fluctuate. Every time he restarts, he can challenge at his peak state."

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

Indeed... General Rusty Bones is almost unaffected by the "restart" because his strength reached its limit many years ago!

"what do you want to say in the end?"

By this moment, Gu Shen no longer had any patience.

He raised his palm, and in an instant, thousands of firelights gathered above the lake, turning into hundreds of small hanging swords.

"Don't you still know what I want to say?"

The original will is not panicked.

It smiled and said: "You have already guessed that the world I constructed is just a game, so as the 'creator', of course I hope that the game will be more exciting. I hope these outsiders can stay in my world longer, If you just lead them to 'escape', this game will be too boring."

"It looks like I'm not far away from victory."

Gu Shen sneered.

He has been able to determine that the ancient text on the Traveler's Stone Tablet is related to the "Gateway".

After mastering the ancient text that opens the "portal", you can save a lot of time during the next trip to the [Old World] and continue to make space jumps.

"No no no."

The original will shook his head and said: "You are still far from victory, but with your 'way'... it won't be long before someone is going to die."

"?!"

Gu Shen's expression changed and his voice became gloomy: "What did you say?"

"Have you not discovered that dying from huge injuries... will cause irreversible 'injury' to the outsider's spiritual sea?"

The original will raised a finger.

A ball of silver light was reflected on the lake surface——

The scene of the source of the storm attacking the Gubao Fortress reappeared again, but it disappeared briefly.

"Even if you are in your prime, you still feel extremely painful..."

Origin Will said calmly: "How many times can your weak senior brother and your teacher who is about to die of old age be able to withstand this?"

Gu Shen looked at the original will in front of him in silence.

"If you were to take them out of this world...I believe you can do it, but before you do, I'll make sure they have a mental breakdown."

The original will shrugged and said: "And this is not my original intention. I just hope that this game can be longer, longer."

"so?"

"So I can send you away."

The original will said calmly: "You have passed the level. As long as you nod and agree... I can send you away from this spiritual world immediately."

It leaned forward slightly and raised a finger: "But your teacher, senior sister, senior brother, and that Beizhou man 'Rusty Bone' who has nothing to do with you will all stay here."

There was no sound from the lake for a moment.

The original will patiently waited for Gu Shen's response.

"I heard that if too much disordered source material accumulates in the [Old World], it will form an unreasonable 'black hole'. In that black hole, things beyond human imagination will be born."

Gu Shen spoke slowly: "Actually, the idea that there is an 'original will' in this world is just my guess. I didn't expect that the black hole in the [Old World] would actually give birth to its own wisdom."

The original will smiled dumbly and said: "This is not difficult to guess."

"Yeah, it's not hard to guess."

Gu Shen spoke very quickly, and he said calmly: "After all, I just smelted a 'human-shaped black hole' not long ago."

The original will was silent for a second.

"Perhaps you are anxious to send me away, not because you are worried that this game will become boring..."

"It's that you realize that you can't stop me, you can't control me."

"You should know very well what the ability of 'blazing fire' is, right? It swallows all the disordered sources in the world, and you finally gave birth to your own 'spiritual intelligence'. Once you meet me, you will probably annihilate them all... So now you come to me to negotiate and send me away, because you are actually worried that you will not be able to protect yourself."

Gu Shen said sarcastically: "So, I want to reject your 'kindness'. If I want to leave this world, then I must take them with me."

"..."

The original will asked regretfully: "Is there no need to talk about this matter?"

"There's no need to talk about this matter."

Gu Shen said coldly: "If you are willing to end all this now, I can give up 'hunting'. From now on, you and I will not be in conflict with each other, and you can continue to draw the source of essence at the end of the [Old World]."

"What if...I reject you too?"

The original will looked at Gu Shen.

"Crack!"

Gu Shen lightly snapped his fingers.

Thousands of golden blazing swords hanging above the heart lake instantly flew out——

Whoosh whoosh!

The blazing sword shadows were densely packed, tearing the lake surface apart!

The body of the original will was torn apart and countless tiny holes were blown out.

Its blurred and dim face reappeared with facial features.

The original will restored the face of "Gu Shen", and he smiled and allowed these blazing swords to penetrate his body... Naturally, it was impossible to meet Gu Shen with his "true self" this time. Gu Shen also felt that, Fire passes through the body of the original will just like passing through the air. This is just a spiritual projection of the original will.

Thousands of sword shadows engulfed the two of them.

Gu Shen stared at the original will coldly and said: "If something happens to my teacher, senior sister, senior brother, and the 'Beizhou man' who you understand has nothing to do with me, then I will definitely find you, And eat you."

"Is it?"

The original will remains unmoved.

Its body slowly sank, as if it was reintegrating into the inner lake.

Until the end, it was still smiling.

"How about we give it a try?"

Thousands of golden sword shadows disappeared.

The inner lake regained its calm, and Gu Shen lowered his head gloomily. His original will had disappeared without a trace, and a shadow appeared under his own body.

Outside the spiritual world, the roar of rusty bones was heard.

"Gu Shen, are you okay?!"

The power of the nine flow of hearts gathered in an instant. Due to the arrival and interference of the original will, the time Gu Shen spent immersed in the lake of heart was greatly extended, but the efficiency of understanding the "power of heart flow" did not decrease!

He immediately put his mind into "reality".

The layer of destruction source shield that enveloped him was only a thin layer at this moment.

There is still half of the understanding of the stone tablet...

Gu Shen suddenly felt regretful that even the power of the Nine Paths of Heart Flow was not enough to comprehend the ancient texts of the Traveler Clan in one breath.

It is too late now to continue to comprehend.

At this moment, the Destruction Giant can no longer suppress the furious Black Snow Mountain Giant... The most important thing is that hundreds of thousands of low-level travelers have completed their awakening.

They are attacking the original power of Rusty Bones at all costs.

Gu Shen quickly stood up and returned to Xi Gu.

"withdraw!"

…

…

(Okay, I redefined evening, but it’s not because of procrastination, but because it’s really long... I’m going to post an 8,000-word chapter tonight, I hope you won’t be surprised.)
