Barrier of Light

In the endless deep sea.

One by one, the train was driving slowly, source codes and bubbles were mixed together, and the whole world was silent. Only the arc of light passed by the train proved that the boy and the girl had existed in this void world——

In this cold world of data.

As long as two souls truly embrace each other, there will be warmth.

Gu Shen stretched out a hand and slowly slid his fingers across the carriage. His fingertips burst into flickering light, and a portal leading to the "Pure Land" was outlined.

He hugged Chu Ling and gently fell towards the door.

The earth is turned upside down.

The shattered arc of light enveloped the two of them, and they fell from the deepest part of the deep sea... until they reached the zenith of the pure land, where gentle winds and clouds swept around, as well as countless flying blades of grass.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Because the distance was so close, Gu Shen could even hear the heartbeat in Chu Ling's chest.

"here it is?"

Chu Ling had been to Gu Shen's spiritual world more than once, but this time... she was in a trance. This once barren land had now become like a fairyland.

Giant trees hold up the sky, shaking off thousands of feet of light and shade.

Gu Shen smiled and said: "This is... the pure land. Our pure land."

He waved gently.

"Shua——"

Grass leaves flew across the sky and turned into a soft blanket, above the clouds, catching the two people who kept falling.

Chu Ling held the big carpet of grass leaves with both hands, like a kitten born into the world for the first time. She carefully stuck her head out and stared at the beautiful world in front of her, holding her breath, for fear that this was a dream. And if he breathed harder, he would wake up from this dream.

[Deep Sea] can capture every corner of the five continents, but...in today's human world, we can no longer see such moving natural landscapes. Towering giant buildings and steel jungles cover every piece of land on the five continents.

Compared with the outside world, this place... is indeed a pure land.

There are still tiny figures on the ground, trying to wave hello.

"Lord God!!"

Tiewu tried his best to put his hands in front of his mouth, looking excited.

Finally, finally...he finally saw the Lord God who had been "missing him day and night"!

The wooden man Hong Zhong stood there blankly, imitating Tie Wu's movements, waving mechanically in the direction of the flying carpet... Although he did not have much wisdom, he also had basic emotions and knew how to feel happy. Nu Sadele also knew that the figure sitting on the flying carpet and nodding to him was the master who gave him new life and the creator of this world.

He poked Tie Wu's shoulder with his finger.

"Aba Aba..."

Hong Zhong just danced and expressed his emotions.

Tie Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at this guy's mime performance. After getting along with him for a while, he was able to guess Hong Zhong's thoughts based on these actions. He immediately asked with a smile: "You want to ask the other guy? identity?"

Hong Zhong nodded his head like garlic.

"Idiot! Use your brain..." Tie Wu patted this guy on the shoulder in disgust and whispered: "Who else could it be? She must be Lord God's wife!"

Hong Zhong had a silly smile on his face, suddenly enlightened.

…

…

“I never expected that the once desolate ‘Four Seasons Wilderness’ would become like this in less than a year.”

Blades of grass are flying.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling flew around in the sky above the Suxuan tree, and finally landed on a huge branch.

The two of them sat on the treetops, overlooking the Pure Land world.

The wasteland of the past is no longer the decadent and dilapidated scene it once was. It is full of life and vitality as far as the eye can see.

"The pure land... will only be better in the future."

Gu Shen smiled and spoke.

This is the real world that Pluto dreamed of and wanted to build, but Pluto did not succeed back then.

On the contrary, it was Gu Shen who succeeded in making the Suxuan tree take root, sprout and grow.

The hanging trees brought real vitality to the world, and Gu Shen's "breath of spring" allowed the pure land to breed more seeds. These seeds drifted in the wind and fell into new pits one after another. middle.

During these days, Tie Wu and Hong Zhong continued to work hard, and there were signs of new sprouts emerging in the vast wilderness in the distance.

This is indeed a very beautiful sight.

Chu Ling smoothed his broken hair and asked softly: "If you want this world to further develop and grow, just relying on Iron Five, Hong Zhong... I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

Gu Shen nodded.

certainly.

How could such a world truly grow with just one or two people?

No matter how diligent Tie Wu and Hong Zhong were, it was never enough.

"That's why...the former Pluto wanted to absorb the souls of the dead." Gu Shen said softly: "He wanted to cultivate a large number of dead souls and bring them into the pure land and become his followers."

In Pluto's plan, the Pure Land is a must, and so is the Army of the Undead!

That's why he ordered Golden Spike Flower to kill everyone on sight in the labyrinth, leaving mental toxins in the River Styx... Those extraordinary beings erased by his killing will will be reincarnated in the pure land.

I'm afraid those dead souls will become "low-level creatures" without much wisdom like Hong Zhong.

For Pluto, such a soul can not only charge and plunder the battlefield, but also build a pure land.

"But I don't want to do that to him."

Gu Shen said softly: "Most of the extraordinary people killed by Hades...were innocent people."

Those explorers who go beyond the Great Wall to find an oasis for mankind can die in the storm, fall in the heavy snow, and get lost in the thick fog of the old world, but they should not die in the hands of the God in charge of "fire".

"yes……"

Chu Ling said calmly: "Pluto trampled on the bottom line that the God's Throne should have, so he did not plant the hanging trees, nor cultivate the pure land... Everything he planned became a passing smoke."

Maybe in this world, there is cause and effect.

Gu Shen was silent.

He only hoped so.

If there really is something in this world that can restrain the throne of God, something that can make the fire holder feel awe, then... I am afraid it is this illusory "destiny".

"I have one thing that I can't figure out." Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and said in confusion: "If Pluto really wanted to cultivate an 'army of the undead', then his real problem was not to collect the souls of the dead..."

Take Gu Shen himself.

Collecting dead souls is not difficult.

The five continents are so vast, as long as you really want to collect the souls of the dead, there will always be extraordinary people who fall and die in battle...

In addition, those dangerous extraordinary beings who are out of control and destined to be killed are also good candidates for storage.

With the methods used by Pluto back then, it was not difficult to collect the souls of the dead.

The real difficulty is the large amount of extraordinary source matter required to maintain the operation of the "Pure Land"!

Sunrise, sunset, windy, raining...

Everything that happens in this world requires the support of "origin".

The more dead souls there are, the more source of energy will be consumed!

This is also an important reason why Gu Shen is not in a hurry to "recruit souls".

The essence that Gu Shen had eaten in the Shenci Mountain before had increased with his own strength. In fact, he was no longer wealthy now. He could only barely maintain the current consumption of the Pure Land. If he wanted to go further, he would need to eat more.

Fortunately... there is enough source material in Shenci Mountain.

The Li family's hidden dangers are exactly their best supplies.

From the current point of view, the Pure Land will not need to worry about the problem of "insufficient source material" for a long time.

But the scale of the "pure land" that Pluto wants to cultivate is different... If such a heaven-defying divine realm is really created to support thousands of dead souls, how much source of essence will be consumed?

Where would Pluto get so much Sefirah?

As soon as this thought appeared, a figure flashed across Gu Shen's mind.

At the same moment, Chu Ling also spoke.

She was thinking the same thing as Gu Shen: "It's... the guy in the ruler."

The devil of the ruler of truth!

This was the "trigger" that caused the previous Pluto to completely fall into madness.

If Pluto is trying to build a pure land and form an invincible army of the undead, then this matter... the devil in the ruler will definitely not be able to escape his involvement.

Mentioning the guy in the ruler, Gu Shen's expression was slightly gloomy. He briefly told what happened in the Dolu River disaster.

"So that's it. Has he shown his cards now?"

After hearing this, Chu Ling's expression did not change.

The devil in the ruler knows her existence.

She also knew that the devil existed.

In a sense, both of them are "same kind" who cannot see the "light" and have no way to truly escape from their mental predicament. Before Gu Shen set out for the Duolu River, she had already had a certain premonition.

But she didn't expect that the devil would directly refuse the deal and make it clear... that he wanted to kill the host and replace it with another one!

Such a statement would mean starting a war.

The reason why the devil is so rampant is because it knows very well that there is nothing Gu Shen can do.

"With this guy's despicable character, he must be staring at me at this moment."

"This feeling is so uncomfortable...especially on a date."

Gu Shen pressed his hands on the branches and said resentfully: "This should have been a wonderful date, if it hadn't been spied on by some shameless being in the dark mist."

A deal was struck last time on the condition of "the devil's freedom."

He had just left the River Styx and had no time to deal with the devil.

Therefore, this guy is still "free" for now.

"He must know a lot of secrets."

Gu Shen smiled mockingly and said, "No matter how many secrets he knows, it's useless, because he can't get out, and there's no one to talk to... If he doesn't see the hope of killing me in the Styx, then Maybe the scene between me and him can continue."

Chu Ling was a little worried: "So... now there is only one possibility left. Either you kill him, or..."

Gu Shen knew that everything he did after leaving Styx was seen by the devil.

And the devil can naturally hear these words.

"Only if I kill it, if not it kill me!"

Gu Shen had no expression on his face and said coldly: "Since it is no longer acting, I have nothing to pretend to be. That 'not sealed with black silver' deal is of course just a scam. Before killing it, I want to let it go." First, stay in confinement and suffer torture!”
