Barrier of Light

In the monitoring room, the information on the central control screen flashed quickly.

After Gubao implemented a LAN blockade, [Deep Sea] took over the dispatching task of the outer edge of the Umbrella Defense Line.

Every time a [Sky Eye] is destroyed, the next replacement screen will appear immediately.

The "protagonist" of the picture is always the homecoming team running desperately, who may be swallowed up by the storm at any time.

One group member had a complicated expression and muttered: "This is the first time something like this has happened... [Deep Sea] seems to have gone crazy..."

All members of the inspection room no longer need to do any work.

[Deep Sea] takes over all the data here.

Zou Hai has never seen such a scene.

Beizhou Fortress relies heavily on [Deep Sea], but because the battle line is too long and the computing power is limited, on average, the help [Deep Sea] can give to each fortress is actually not that huge...

Is it the authority specially approved by the upper management?

still?

No matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable, because the fortress is currently in an isolated state due to network ban. In order to avoid the spread of mental toxins, [Deep Sea] should not interfere with the mission instructions of the local area network.

"Suggestion: Turn on the 'Umbrella Line of Defense'."

Such a message suddenly popped up on the central control screen.

Zou Hai was startled.

In so many years, it was the first time that he had seen [Deep Sea] make such a choice... First, he helped the team of explorers return home outside the fortress [Old World]. Visual inspection showed that the distance was at least thirty kilometers, and it should be [Eye of the Sky]. The limit of the exploration range.

If there is no reminder from [Deep Sea], this news will most likely be missed.

As for giving suggestions on opening the "Umbrella Line of Defense" channel, in large-scale missions, [Deep Sea] will always only have the right to make suggestions, not decision-making. This is the last privilege reserved by the federal government for humans. No matter what time, only humans can Make the final decision.

However, based on Zou Hai's understanding of the [Deep Sea] rules, after detecting this unprecedented storm, [Deep Sea] should have given advice to immediately close the giant walls and defense channels.

For the sake of twelve people, opening the defense line will probably lead to the early invasion of the "tide of source matter"!

This does not comply with the basic laws of [Deep Sea]!

Zou Hai's deep thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the communicator.

It's a call from the study.

Lin Lin's voice sounded a little tired: "The picture of the Umbrella Defense Line... [Deep Sea] has reached my side. Open the passage and bring these people in."

But the tone of this sentence was very firm.

[Deep Sea] is really off the mark. Is this because you know you can’t make the decision?

Such an idea suddenly came to Zou Hai's mind, and he didn't dare to think about it further. He quickly regained his composure and seriously replied to the communicator: "Yes, Brigadier General!"

…

…

The silvery white domain fled desperately before the storm.

The source energy burning efficiency is 200%. If it weren't for the "Ruler of Truth", these source armors would have turned into blazing meteors. After blooming for a moment, they turned into pitch-black charcoal.

Gu Shen looked vaguely pale.

It is indeed a bit difficult to lead eleven people.

The most important thing is... 200% combustion efficiency can only barely beat the storm, but it can't shake the storm away.

If it lands in tandem with the "Storm".

It is impossible to open the passage through the umbrella defense line.

In the connection with the [Deep Sea] again and again, Gu Shen seemed to see a miracle... The giant umbrella in the distance burst out with a low trembling roar, and those "floating boards" were rotating "slowly".

"The passage...is open?"

Gu Shen knew that this was by no means unlucky. It was most likely Chu Ling's guidance to the Gubao Fortress. When the link was lost, only she had the ability to quickly and accurately capture her figure.

Without any message prompts, there is only one possibility to do this——

Constantly refresh [Sky Eye] to capture every frame of the "Umbrella Line of Defense".

Take a deep breath.

Gu Shen gritted his teeth.

On the final journey, the storm behind him seemed to become more fierce. The team had finally managed to pull away a little distance, and at this moment they were overtaken again... He tried his best to visualize and tried to use the "breathing method" to temper his Spirit, in the last desperate moment, can enhance the power of the "footprint of truth"!

Just relying on the breath of spring, if it's not enough...

Then, he added the second volume of breathing techniques!

Gu Shen tried to put himself into an extremely concentrated "viewer's state of mind". At this moment, his spirit was unprecedentedly concentrated, condensed into the pure land. At this moment, the "Xuanxuan Wood" was full of light, with billions of branches hanging down according to the owner's wishes, splashing water. Bursts of glow. The clouds that originally shrouded the spring rain gradually became hot and dry, and thunder flickered.

Gu Shen is eager to push his spiritual power "further"!

He began to comprehend the "Breath of Summer" on the spot... However, it was too far behind. It was so easy to comprehend the breathing method in a volume. His state of mind, opportunities, and accumulation of time were all far from enough.

But at this moment of enlightenment, there was an unexpected gain.

Gu Shen suddenly felt a sense of trance.

Time seemed to slow down.

He didn't know that in the real world, the silvery-white glow of the Ruler of Truth slowly swept out a line, became entangled with the "blazing fire" between his eyebrows, and finally merged with each other, condensing into a pale ray of light. Snow flames.

The flame burned slowly, neither fast nor slow.

It's just that the white snow is not pure.

In the realm of truth, a wisp of ink spreads.

This flame is the same.

Gu Shen immersed himself in the spiritual world... He found that his pure land was quieter than ever before, and even the figure of "Iron Five" disappeared.

Is this really my pure land?

Gu Shen looked around and found that many places in this world were blurry, with light and shadow intersecting and falling mottled. The entire sky seemed to have been cut into pieces by something, scattering large swaths of blazing light, and more places were covered in dazzling light. Shrouded in shadow.

Areas similar to the "Pure Land" are covered with light.

Taking a closer look, Gu Shen found that these shadows seemed to follow a pattern.

Those iconic sacred objects that belong to one's own pure land, such as the huge and towering "Xuanxuan tree", as well as some areas where the source of the rain was originally sown and carefully planted, all grow between the shadows. Although they have a physical form, they are Only a huge shadow remained.

These things seem to grow in a virtual illusion.

【"Hello……"】

Just as Gu Shen turned around, a hoarse voice sounded from behind.

He looked back.

Behind him was the boundless shadow cast by the towering hanging trees. In the depths of the shadow, vaguely visible, sat an extremely tall pitch-black throne.

The sound just now came from the shadows.

Gu Shen stood still, frowned and looked into the darkness. This should be "his" spiritual world. When did the second person appear? Why didn't he notice it?

He strained to see through the darkness.

Nothing can be seen.

Only the tall outline of the throne could be seen... What is worth pondering is that the throne did not bring any substantial oppression to Gu Shen. On the contrary, Gu Shen had the urge to sit on it.

It's scary.

Gu Shen immediately suppressed this idea, then stretched out two fingers and placed them between his eyebrows, trying to summon his "blazing fire".

In one's own spiritual world, fighting golden hoops will not restrain the appearance of blazing fire.

But this time...

The call of the blazing fire failed.

I put two fingers on it and nothing happened.

He stood in a large mottled circle of light, looking at the "Dark Throne" not far across the way. After a brief silence, Gu Shen realized something.

This is not your own "spiritual world".

It's just a world very similar to the "Pure Land".

The reason why these shadows exist is because there is only one "Pure Land". This world can only be similar, but not identical. Those things that cannot be copied can only be replaced by shadows.

After realizing this, Gu Shen probably guessed where this place was.

And who is that guy sitting on the throne.

Out of politeness, he spoke first, breaking the silence between the two.

"Who are you……?"

The hoarse voice in the darkness smiled.

The owner of the throne said softly: "I am the owner of this ruler."

Gu Shen did not show any surprise.

He stood in the light, looking directly at the throne calmly and indifferently. The moment the blazing fire failed, Gu Shen guessed that this was a deformed spiritual world under the influence of the "Ruler of Truth".

The only person who has a spiritual realm similar to his own Pure Land is the previous Pluto.

The reason for the existence of such a deformed spiritual realm is not difficult to guess... Pluto left a ray of hell fire in the mind of "Golden Spike Flower".

Then there is probably a wisp in this ruler.

In the "divine battle" between Dadu and Dionysus, the brief change in the ruler was most likely the stimulating effect of "Underworld Fire".

At this moment, the power of Hell Fire was revealed again.

Gu Shen was pulled into an independent spiritual world.

"The answer to this question...you've already guessed it."

The man in the darkness continued: "Besides, in the current situation, it doesn't matter who I am... What matters is that you are about to die."

In a broken spiritual space.

Pictures of the real world are projected.

Time flows very slowly.

But it is vaguely visible that the silvery-white Realm of Truth has begun to twist, and the "Storm" has caught up with this team... and is about to crush it from above the Realm of Truth.

"I'm afraid only the 'God Throne' can survive a storm of this scale."

The man on the throne changed to a lazy sitting position and spoke leisurely, with a somewhat regretful voice: "With your current strength, the probability of survival is zero."

Gu Shen stared at him: "So?"

"so……"

There was a long pause.

Gu Shen felt the gaze in the darkness.

The master of the throne smiled and asked in a gentle voice: "My successor, do you want to make a deal? I can let you live."

(ps: Let’s talk about “procrastination”. I rarely respond to this kind of book review, but it is necessary to mention it here. The mission is the soulful beginning of the third volume. The perspective here and the follow-up of each character are very important. I always There is no story, and the second update was not interrupted, because I knew that the plot would inevitably slow down. Even after adding two updates, I was scolded for "procrastination". What's the point? It should be clear to those who read this that this book is a group portrait novel. , Lin Lin and the generals and princes of Beizhou are all important figures in this volume. If you are impatient, please save it or look elsewhere. I will not change the rhythm of the writing.)
