Barrier of Light

"Miss Mu?"

Luo Er saw the figure standing in front of the small courtyard of Chunyu Guan.

Mu Wanqiu's expression was still a little confused.

She didn't know...why Gu Shen called her over this time.

She only knows that the news of the super-giant seismic storm has made Wuzhou's top management return to a state of war readiness. Beizhou is now busy. If it weren't for Gu Shen's call, she would still be investigating the Legion and dealing with a lot of trivial matters...

That is, Gu Shen can shout and move her.

"This...is the Lord of 'Underworld Fire' you chose?"

Luo Er's voice was complex.

This voice fell into Mu Wanqiu's ears, making the latter even more confused.

"Lord of Hellfire?... Me?"

She stood in front of the door blankly, pointing at herself.

"good."

Gu Shen said seriously: "This is the Lord of Hell Fire that I chose... Mu Wanqiu, don't look at it, it's you."

"???"

Mu Wanqiu was stunned on the spot.

She rushed all the way to Nagano, originally wanting to go to the house to investigate and see what the big deal was for Gu Shen to call her here.

But the first words she said when she opened the door immediately stunned her.

"I violated the 'soul oath' I made. As a punishment for breaking the oath, I will lose the power to control the Hellfire."

Gu Shen wrote lightly: "I called you here today because I want to give you this fire."

Such a thing has never happened in the five continents for six hundred years.

The owner of the fire is still alive, but the fire itself has changed hands!

Mu Wanqiu looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression. Why did she feel that when Gu Shen said these words, his tone was so calm, so indifferent, and even a little relieved and relaxed?

As if Pluto’s fire was a liability!

This is a kind of fire! A spark of fire!

If you put it outside, there will be hundreds of millions of people fighting for this fire, fighting to death.

Gu Shen stretched out two fingers.

He gently tapped the wisp of fire between his eyebrows, and at the same time activated the power of his heart flow to stir up and separate.

The black flames, entangled in the blazing fire and almost one with the blazing fire, trembled at an extremely high frequency!

The addition of "fire" to the soul oath is actually the trap Gu Shen dug for Deep Sea.

Even if Shenhai had not mentioned it at that time, Gu Shen would have added it.

to him……

Hellfire is really a trouble and a burden.

The two flames that were originally entangled and indistinguishable from each other began to separate and peel off under the influence of the fate of the "soul oath". After a while, the dark flame was completely extracted by Gu Shen.

"Uh-huh!"

The black flame from the center of Gu Shen's brows was completely dissipated!

At this moment, he was no longer the lofty "Pluto God Seat".

Over the past six hundred years, there have been many divine thrones that relied on fire to achieve leaps in life levels, but...

Gu Shen is really the only one who has regressed and become ordinary.

"This fire...is yours now."

Gu Shen smiled, twisting up the jet-black flame, and then threw it in front of Mu Wanqiu.

Mu Wanqiu was stunned and subconsciously reached out to hold the flame. Until now, she had not realized how this fire came to her in just a few seconds, but she could clearly feel that... the "apostolic connection" between herself and Gu Shen quickly weakened and eventually dissipated. On the occasion of clouds and smoke.

Pluto's fire has truly become a "thing without an owner"!

Yes, the "Pluto" chosen by Gu Shen was Mu Wanqiu. From the moment they met on the Duolu River mission, Gu Shen fell in love with her.

They are both S-class extraordinary beings.

[Judge] In fact, it is more suitable for Pluto’s fire than Blazing Fire.

"You really gave up on Hellfire... Junior Brother, are you crazy?"

Luo Er looked at this scene in disbelief.

The power of fire is the highest temptation in the world. Countless extraordinary people dream of obtaining fire and smelting fire...

She knew that her junior brother had always been different from others.

Luo Er was not surprised, Gu Shen didn't care about the underworld fire.

The reason she couldn't understand was...

If Gu Shen gives up the underworld fire, how will he face the super giant storm seven years from now?

"Senior sister, giving up the Hell Fire is only the first step of the 'best policy'."

Gu Shen said warmly: "As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses... Some things can only be better obtained by losing them."

He looked at Mu Wanqiu and said, "Have everything been arranged in Beizhou?"

"Um……"

Mu Wanqiu's voice was very low. She held the fire tightly and gradually regained consciousness: "The reconstruction work on the other side of the giant wall is progressing. It will take at least five years to integrate all the black silver into the city wall. In addition, In addition, the three starships have already settled on the Battlefield of Gubao, and as for the formation of the Time Dojo... Mr. Rusty Bones is in charge."

"very good."

Gu Shen nodded.

"Gu Shen——"

Mu Wanqiu suddenly spoke, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you really going to give me the Hellfire?"

Although he was already Gu Shen's apostle many years ago.

But Mu Wanqiu's heart...had always been filled with regret.

She actually thought about whether she would become the new Pluto if it weren't for Gu Shen.

It is so normal to have such thoughts.

She was still very dazzling in the era when Baixiu Gu Shen dominated. If it were another era, then she would really become "Pluto".

But he happened to meet Gu Shen.

Mu Wanqiu could afford to lose. She asked herself, she knew that she was no match for Gu Shen, but if it happened again, she would still choose to compete with Gu Shen!

"what are you talking about?"

Gu Shen shook his head and said calmly: "The Underworld Fire is yours now."

"..."

Mu Wanqiu held the fire and gritted her teeth and said, "What do you think this is? Is it a charity to the apostles?"

"of course not."

Gu Shen looked extremely serious and said: "In all these years, I have never regarded you as an 'apostle' in the traditional sense. Miss Mu, you are my most respected opponent, and you are also a leader who is more suitable for 'Underworld Fire' than me. This fire is given to you. For the entire human civilization, it is the best solution to fight against the storm of essence."

Seven years later, the source of energy storm will reach the giant wall.

Of course Mu Wanqiu also knew the news.

She really wanted to contribute her own power, but unfortunately...this natural disaster was too powerful. If she wanted to make a contribution on her own, she would have to become a god.

"You can consider this as a thank you gift from me."

Gu Shen said softly: "Thank you for being willing to work for me as the 'Apostle of Pluto' for so many years..."

Whether it is the silence of the ice sea, or far away from the void.

Gu Shen has always been the hands-off shopkeeper.

The intelligence docking task of Jinsuihua has been completed by Mu Wanqiu.

In fact, the two apostles he accepted early have made great contributions... But when it comes to inheriting Fire, Little Iron Man is really not qualified. Minghuo will most likely not recognize him, and Gu Shen understands Shen Li's character. Even if he throws the fire to Shen Li, the latter will just treat it as a bad thing and throw it away without touching it.

This fire was a "thank you" to Mu Wanqiu.

Gu Shen paused and said, "If you are unwilling to accept this gift of thanks, just treat it as respect from your 'opponent'."

"The opponent's...respect?"

Mu Wanqiu held the black flame blankly.

"You have always regarded me as your most important opponent, haven't you?"

Gu Shen smiled and said: "In order to defeat me, you must have spent a lot of time and effort... to smelt this fire. If you and I fight again, maybe you really have a chance to beat me."

Mu Wanqiu's eyes lit up.

She stared at Gu Shen and noticed something strange.

Although the "Underworld Fire" was lost... what was terrifying was that the aura on Gu Shen's body did not weaken.

At least, the pressure Mu Wanqiu felt did not decrease.

She just felt that the turbid aura of disaster in Gu Shen's body had dissipated a lot! But the spiritual sea is still unfathomable!

What the hell is this? Even if you face the source directly, there doesn’t seem to be such a strong sense of oppression?

"If I were to smelt hell fire, I would be a god." Mu Wanqiu frowned and said, "Are you sure you can still fight with me by then?"

"……maybe."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "But one thing I can be sure of is that if you don't smelt hell fire, no matter how many years you practice, you will not be my opponent."

"???"

These words angered Mu Wanqiu, and she directly pressed the Hell Fire into her eyebrows!

The Judge and Hellfire are a natural fit.

In addition, she has been Gu Shen's apostle for many years... With this gentle touch, the entire hellfire merged into Mu Wanqiu's inner lake!

The huge shadow of the judge in white emerged, and the ghost's clothes ignited with dark fire. The strong wind blew, the dark fire flickered, and the white clothes turned into pitch black.

"Gu Shen, wait until I finish melting the underworld fire——"

Mu Wanqiu left Chunyu Temple with Minghuo and officially started smelting.

"Huh... finally sent it out."

Gu Shen put his hands behind his back, looking relieved.

Luo Er's expression was complicated.

Just now, Gu Shen sent a piece of fire... How could this guy be so happy?

Luo Er thought of something and was a little worried: "The underworld fire carries a lot of ominousness. If Mu Wanqiu is smelting it like this, won't there be any problems?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

"I have absorbed almost all the 'dirty stuff' left by the previous Pluto."

He said softly: "Since I have already shouldered the punishment of the 'Soul Oath', it doesn't matter if my heart becomes a little dirtier. What is left for Xiaoqiu now is an extremely pure Hell Fire. She only You need to be responsible for the smelting, and there are almost no side effects.”

Luo Er looked moved.

Do not know why.

She saw the shadow of Mr. Gu Changzhi in her junior brother.

"Now... you have sent out the 'Underworld Fire', what is the next plan?"

"continue."

Gu Shen raised his head and looked at the shining sun outside the courtyard.

He said softly: "If you want human civilization to be able to fight against the 'Super Giant Source Storm' in seven years... then you need to allow every fire to find its own suitable master. So the next step is to plan Just continue to send fire.”

Nowadays, the situation in Wuzhou is stable, and almost every fire has its own owner.

But no one could recognize the "molten iron fire" that Gu Shen brought back from the starship.

Therefore, this fire seed remained in Gu Shen's hands.

He slowly turned his palms, and a faint red color emerged from the burning fire.

"Molten iron fire..."

Luo Er frowned: "Who are you going to find to inherit this fire?"

Human civilization has a different development model from starship civilization.

The forging skills of sealed objects are very backward.

Even the [Neutrals] brought by the Ancient Text Society from Sangzhou Cave are only proficient in ancient texts and do not know the forging techniques of the starship era, and their practice of the power of heart flow is even mediocre.

In Luo Er's view, this fire... Looking across the five continents, there seems to be no suitable successor.

But in fact, the moment Gu Shen saw the molten iron fire.

The candidate has already been thought of.

"Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields."

Gu Shen blinked and said with a smile: "A few years ago, I took on a cheap apprentice, and I happened to take my senior sister with me to see it."

…

…

Snow Forbidden City, the second adjudicator’s dojo.

Second Adjudicator Xie Zheng, since joining the Adjudication Institute, he has rarely carried out outing missions... The reason is very simple. His teacher is Gu Shen, the Grand Adjudicator of Dongzhou. With the protection of that powerful man, almost no one will embarrass him. Xie Zheng, Gu family naturally takes care of him in every possible way.

Of course, taking care of Xie Zheng was not just because of Gu Shen.

This guy is really a "forging wizard" that is hard to find in a century.

Although Xie Zheng seldom goes out to the outside world, he is not a fool and knows how to deal with the world. Every year, he always sends some gifts to the Gu clan and several other major families. They call them "small gifts", but they are all high-quality sealed artifacts. , and the effect was excellent. In the extraordinary era when the inland war broke out, this was a very precious "gift".

With each coming and going, this dojo has become an extremely special existence of the Judgment Hall.

Xie Zheng's adjudicator ranking has remained second all year round.

It doesn't matter who is first.

The important thing is that no one will challenge Xie Zheng. This second adjudicator dojo has become a sacred place of the adjudication office.

This dojo only recruits one disciple every year, and it is not guided by Xie Zheng himself, but by Xie Zheng's disciple Liu Quan, who recruits disciples on his behalf and teaches the forging inheritance skills... Even so, everyone is still beating their heads and thinking desperately. Let his subordinates enter this dojo.

Apart from anything else, if a "blacksmith" could be cultivated, the shortage of sealed artifacts within the family would be solved.

Today, this dojo welcomed two "strange" guests.

Gu Shen did not use his origin, nor did he use his formation patterns.

He and his senior sister left the small courtyard and walked away.

In order to avoid being noticed and not cause a sensation, both of them used mental power to change their faces.

Fortunately, the dojo was empty and deserted.

"This...is the 'Successor of Molten Iron' you chose?"

There are several barrier-sealed objects in the Second Adjudicator's dojo, and these sealed objects are of high quality.

But to a strong person like Luo Er and Gu Shen, it is just a blank piece of paper.

The two entered the dojo silently without making a single sound. In the quiet room at the deepest part of the dojo, there was a crackling sound and countless golden lights bursting out. A figure sat cross-legged in the darkness, and a powerful soul as tall as a hill appeared behind it. That soul Holding a heavy hammer, he was repeatedly beating a rough iron sword.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With each blow of the hammer, a large amount of fire flew out.

The room is filled with brilliance.

Luo Er looked surprised. She had never expected that such a low-key and powerful spiritual extraordinary person lived in the Snow Forbidden City.

Behind the thin man, there was a condensed shadow of a majestic soul, and that figure actually gave birth to three heads and six arms.

In this quiet room, in addition to the crude iron sword, there were several sealed objects, all of which were being hammered and chiseled.

"The power of six levels of flow."

Gu Shen chuckled softly and said: "Although his extraordinary strength is not high... but this guy's state of mind cultivation is unparalleled. In the entire Five Continents, only the Silver Fox General at his peak should be able to overwhelm him."

That's right, Gu Shenxiang's new inheritor of molten iron fire...

It’s Xie Zheng.

The child that Mr. Turing picked up from the tundra and taught him personally.

Gu Shen looked at the man who was silently practicing and refining the sealed artifact in the quiet room with gentle eyes.

"Mr. Turing's forging heritage is the same as that of the Lord of Molten Iron."

"In a sense... Xie Zheng's forging skills come from the Master of Molten Iron, the previous owner of this fire."
