Barrier of Light

It is a pity that I did not witness the battle against this storm with my own eyes.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Iron Dome Emperor paid a huge price to repel a disaster of this magnitude.

Now, put an end to this chaos.

The Beizhou people only spent one day and one night.

Gu Shen saw the final outcome. There was peace near the giant wall, and the clear and untainted sky was seen in everyone's eyes. In the vision of "Pluto", the world was not so pure, because in the remnants of the storm, there were still wisps of dust floating in the sky. The white souls of these extraordinary beings who died in the war, some were hit by the huge energy shock generated when the storm hit the giant wall, and some were swept up by the wind...

Gu Shen did not use the "Pure Land" to contain the souls of these people, just like the "explorers" he met in the snowy mountains... He respected every hero who died fighting for his homeland.

The memorial ceremony was held in the cemetery of Gubao Fortress.

It’s different from Kiyotsuka.

Gubao does not have time to conduct a complete and grand funeral for the "dead". This is a fortress. Everyone here is a soldier. Stationed here is to dedicate everything to this piece of red soil. This is the case tonight and every night. in this way.

…

…

After attending the memorial ceremony, Gubao regained its true purity and tranquility.

Gu Shen rested alone in the room.

He took out the "black silver" from Hades' mansion.

After returning to the fortress, I was so busy with trivial matters that I never had time to deal with the "footprint of truth".

Gu Shen immersed his mental power into the ruler. After a moment, the world in front of him became "distorted". A few seconds later, he once again came to the world of the ruler with dappled light and shadow, and saw the devil living here.

"The spiritual connection is very smooth..."

"This shows that it has been waiting for me. Or, it has no right to refuse my 'arrival'."

Gu Shen calmed down and looked at the darkness not far away.

The "devil" sitting on the throne sat with his elbows propped up and his posture was leisurely: "At this juncture, you don't seem to need to trade...unless you want to ask me to borrow some power to conquer the 'soul' outside the giant wall?"

Gu Shen smiled.

This guy can indeed use the ruler to spy on what he "sees and hears".

But from the words just now, we can judge what content this devil can spy on.

It should be able to see and hear your experiences and conversations during the day.

But the devil has no way of spying on his true inner thoughts.

He had no intention of using the "souls" outside the giant wall for his own use.

"Can you borrow it if I need it?" Gu Shen said with a smile.

He directly followed the devil's words and continued.

Gu Shen didn't want to expose his thoughts. This time he entered the spiritual world of the Ruler of Truth to find out the opponent's "trump card."

"Of course... but it must be considered a transaction." The devil seemed to raise his eyebrows, very interested: "Your pure land should not be expanded, and you need souls very much at this moment... The dead outside the giant wall are all of high quality. Soul, if you don’t take action today, you don’t know when it will be next time.”

indeed.

From the perspective of "Pluto", this is indeed the best time to collect the souls of the Pure Land.

These Beizhou warriors are mentally resolute and powerful enough in combat.

In Dongzhou... such a large-scale "war" would never break out, and there would be no possibility of "collecting dead souls".

"So what price do I have to pay for this transaction?"

Gu Shen pretended to be interested and spoke.

The conversation he just had made him further confirm that this devil did not understand his own spiritual world, because there was only Tie Wu in the "Pure Land" today.

There are still many things Gu Shen doesn't understand about "trading".

In the storm of the [Old World], he probably guessed the ultimate intention of the devil's deal with him.

Erode yourself through the "footprint of truth".

Once one becomes "mentally out of control", the other party will take over the body.

According to this idea, in every transaction, the devil will advance towards the "ultimate goal".

However, this time the devil's answer was beyond Gu Shen's expectations.

The dark figure on the throne thought for a second, then smiled and said, "I want... to extract half of the soul."

He stretched out a finger and shook it slowly.

Extract half of the soul?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

There should be no problem with the original speculation, but this devil is obviously more cunning than he thought. Could this devil within the Rule of Truth become stronger by "absorbing the spirit of the dead"?

Weakening your opponent and strengthening yourself are all ways to the "ultimate goal".

The scene was silent for four or five seconds.

The devil said with resentment: "Gu, this is already a very sincere price... You don't have to pay anything, and you can get half of your soul for free. What are you still hesitating about?"

It stared at Gu Shen and continued: "Are you afraid that I will become stronger?"

Seeing Gu Shen's silence, the shadow on the throne smiled softly.

It stretched out a palm, touched its belly, and said softly: "These weak souls, what do they mean to me? It's just that I haven't eaten for too long... so I really miss the 'human soul' too much." Now that you’re done, let this transaction be regarded as the first attempt to establish a trusting relationship between us.”

Gu Shen was deeply aware of how powerful this guy was.

The power overflowing from the ruler of truth cannot be measured by "magnitude".

Gu Shen also doesn't know what level he can reach after receiving the power given by the devil... But as the source of power, the "black shadow" is already so powerful, does he still need to devour souls to strengthen himself?

The answer to this question is unknown.

"Old rules, if you nod, the transaction begins."

The devil said helplessly: "If you are worried...just like last time, I will lend you my power and you will collect the souls yourself, but I will automatically extract half of it as a price."

"I won't accept this price. You want too much." Gu Shen looked directly at the man on the throne and said seriously.

This time.

The devil is not angry;

It chuckled and said, "It's time to bargain again... Gu Shen, you have to understand that we are making a deal. Everything is measured by a scale. If you want to get it, you have to pay. The price is not high. "

After all, it is the devil. Making a deal with the devil, if the other party does not take any money, is the most terrifying thing.

"All right……"

Gu Shen spoke regretfully.

The devil sitting on the throne, his eyes brightened slightly, he couldn't help but rub his hands, ready to use his power at any time, waiting expectantly for Gu Shen's follow-up.

"If the opinions are not unified, the transaction can only fail."

These words made the devil stunned for a moment, and his calm and indifferent face showed anger again.

Are you kidding yourself? !

"I'm sorry... I came here this time just to fulfill the 'promise' of the last transaction. I will give you the opportunity to meet me again and the opportunity to trade again. I fulfilled my promise, but you didn't grasp it. This opportunity." Gu Shen said calmly: "Transactions always require both parties to nod together before they can be completed."

"Gu Shen..."

The devil said in a gloomy tone: "Do you think it's fun to do this?"

"Yes, it's very interesting." Gu Shen responded without stopping: "You should have thought so when you were spying on my life in the ruler world... overlooking a person, waiting for him to come to your door, and then slowly controlling him, If I agree to your deal, you will definitely find it...very interesting."

This time, the devil was silent.

After a long time.

He spoke again: "We are discussing the issue of 'fairness'. If you feel that the conditions are not good, we can talk again."

Knew it……

The so-called "Scale of Destiny" is all false. Gu Shen couldn't help but shake his head. He made a deal with the devil. Everything is flexible. If he is ruthless and squeezes it to the end, this guy may serve as free labor again. .

However, there is no need for acting anymore.

Gu Shen said calmly: "There's nothing to talk about, and I don't really mean to make a deal when I come to see you this time..."

The devil was stunned: "You came to me to reminisce about old times?"

Is this something that humans can do? !

It was furious, slapping the throne and trying to stand up.

The invisible light and shadow seemed to have changed due to this action.

The devil controlled his anger "in time". He stood up and looked down at Gu Shen coldly.

This action caught Gu Shen's attention.

It seems that... this spiritual world is not stable, and the devil cannot cause substantial harm to itself. It can only complete subsequent erosion through "transaction", a spiritual interaction with soul effect.

Seeing this, Gu Shen's voice became calmer.

"Perhaps you should pay attention to managing your emotions." Gu Shen said calmly: "Because of me, you have the opportunity to observe everything in the real world. Is this your attitude towards your benefactor?"

The devil said coldly: "Don't forget, I saved your life outside the fortress..."

"Is it?"

Gu Shen smiled. He would not be deceived by such tricks: "It was just a transaction, fair and just. We nodded to each other. If we really want to say who saved who, it was actually me who saved myself and incidentally. You, I am still your benefactor.”

For the first time in his life, the devil was speechless.

The last guy it met was far less difficult.

"Well... since you are so eager for a 'deal'."

Gu Shen said expressionlessly: "Then let's have another deal... I will let you know who is the one who is really needed. The content of this 'deal' is very simple. You apologize to me, I I will selectively restore your light to you. If you bow your head now, it will not be too late."

Apologize? !

The devil roared in a low voice: "Are you kidding me?"

It's a pity... Gu Shen wasn't joking.

The moment the black shadow on the throne spoke, his figure faded and disappeared in the spiritual world of the Rule of Truth.

Gu Shen knew that this guy was tough and would not agree to this deal.

The first thing he did when he returned to the real world was to take out the black silver and directly immerse the ruler of truth into the highest quality "strong logic material".

Gu Shen stared at the snow-white ruler, which turned dark among the "black silver".

His eyes were cold.

In fact... this is what one is destined to do after knowing the existence of "the devil".

Gu Shen couldn't accept that his every move, word and deed was being watched by this guy. Although it was still in the ruler and could not pose a threat to him, what if one day in the future, this devil would be free? ?

After lockdown.

The "feeling of being watched" in Gu Shen's heart gradually dissipated.

He felt much more relaxed.
