Barrier of Light

"Zhouji people..."

Mu Wanqiu certainly remembered the three respectable extraordinary beings who disappeared in the disaster in Piyue City. Beizhou held on to the fortress for more than a year for them, but later the Third Legion gave up.

Because Central City released the image captured by "Traveler".

The Grand Adjudicator and his two disciples were submerged in the snow tide of the [Old World].

This is almost tantamount to announcing "death".

Mu Wanqiu spoke carefully: "Aren't the three of them already... killed?"

"yes."

Gu Shen nodded and said, "But I don't believe they are dead...so I have to keep looking, either to find the bodies or the coordinates."

Mu Wanqiu's eyes were complicated and she said nothing more. She just nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

After becoming an apostle, many things, causes and consequences, were connected in series.

She never quite understood why Gu Shen was willing to come to Beizhou in the first place and why he was willing to die and leave the country...

It turns out that they were all looking for the missing Mr. Shu.

"Okay, time is running out. People outside should be waiting impatiently... I will take you 'back'."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "If you have any questions from now on, you can contact me at any time using 'Minghuo'."

He held out his finger.

Blazing fire lingered and fell on Mu Wanqiu's eyebrows.

The latter closed his eyes.

At the same time, Gu Shen expanded the Pure Land Realm and enveloped all the other thirteen rays of souls in the array box... The blazing fire was divided into thirteen rays and lit on Mu Qingyang's souls one after another.

"Tick tock."

Like water droplets falling, splashing on the soul lake.

The array box's spiritual sea rippled.

…

…

In the real world, about an hour passed.

The fourteen law enforcers lying in the wooden house slowly opened their eyes.

Their memories still stayed at the moment of being "exiled". When they opened their eyes at this moment, they were still a little uncomfortable. It was not until the memories of the depths of the frozen lake came to their hearts that they realized... They seemed to have experienced a lot, a lot.

This is a wonderful journey of the soul.

This half month of exile.

Some people had long, long dreams, while others felt like they just blinked.

Some people are trapped in a nightmare and cannot escape.

There are also people who feel like they had a good night's sleep, which was very comfortable, but they woke up a little early and didn't get enough sleep.

"ah……"

Mu Qingyang yawned loudly. Due to a break in consciousness, he subconsciously stretched and rubbed his eyes when he woke up. After seeing the situation of the wooden house clearly, he instantly realized that he should be in a relationship with Zhu Wang. That's right during the battle.

Mu Qingyang suddenly became nervous.

But there was silence all around.

Several pairs of puzzled eyes fell on him.

"Captain, you're awake."

"Captain, where is this?"

Faced with these confusions, Mu Qingyang was also a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, this dim wooden house shrouded in the barrier of Li's shrine was still emitting a soft light. Gu Shen gently knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Brother Gu?!" Mu Qingyang was overjoyed before he could speak.

Gu Shen interrupted and said, "Don't be nervous...the battle on the frozen lake has already been fought."

He looked at Mu Wanqiu without leaving any trace.

The two of them tacitly understood each other and acted as if nothing had happened just now.

Next.

Gu Shen briefly told them what happened in Frozen Lake...

"Spiritual exile...even [Fountain of Yarn] didn't save us..."

A Beizhou law enforcer looked pale and murmured: "Mr. Xiao Gu, you actually did it. You are so awesome, you are simply a god..."

"You guys are lucky, and so am I."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "I have been able to recover your spirit after being lost for so many days... It is mainly due to the 'divination technique'."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly remembered that Mr. Xiao Gu was a disciple of Master Qianye.

"alright."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "You guys, remember to take a good rest for a while after you go back. After all, your spirit has been exiled..."

He didn't mention Bai Shu.

The spirits of these people have actually been repaired by Mr. Bai Shu.

Everyone thanked them one by one and left the cabin.

Li's extraordinary beings were waiting outside the wooden house.

The Gu family and the Mu family also came.

The news of Gu Shen's return to Nagano spread throughout the Snow Forbidden City immediately. After hearing the news, Mu Yi rushed to the Li Clan Hall immediately. He did not disturb Gu Shen's spell, so he stood in front of the [Shrine] barrier and waited patiently. .

At this moment, seeing Mu Qingyang come out safe and sound, the head of the Mu family let out a long sigh of relief.

This time for the "Frozen Lake Mission", all five families sent their absolute elites.

Although this kid Mu Qingyang has been performing tasks in Jiuning, Jiangbei all year round, after completing his training, he will probably return to Nagano to inherit the family power... The direct descendants of the Mu family cannot compare with him in strength.

After the Frozen Lake mission ends, it will be another two years.

He will become the young head of the Mu family.

At the fourth level in his twenties, this achievement is enough to convince the public.

Not everyone is Gu Nanfeng, who can inherit the position of the young head of the family with a "title"...

Being able to become a titled person and stand at the top of the world of extraordinary beings is already something that countless geniuses cannot achieve in their lifetimes.

For Mu Qingyang, it was only a matter of time before he became banned.

On the other side, Beizhou's envoy in Nagano was also waiting in the clan hall.

Mu Wanqiu is the "absolute core" of the Survey Corps, and his status can be ranked among the top three among his peers.

The messenger felt very strange.

Many people in Nagano were waiting anxiously. However, the "rescue" of the spiritual exile did not seem too worried to the Grand Duke Jiuxue... He actually just handed over the "rescue" task to himself and went back home.

Master Zhuxue... seems to be sure that Gu Shen can recover the lost souls of these law enforcers.

Regardless, the law enforcers are now safe and sound.

He only needs to send the news back to complete the mission.

…

…

"Xiao Gu, thank you so much this time..."

The Li clan's ancestral hall gradually returned to quiet.

The crowd dispersed, and Mu Yi stayed alone with Gu Shen.

As the five masters of Nagano.

Although he is the weakest, he still holds great "power". This part of the power of the five families is enough to leverage the structure of Dongzhou and even the five continents.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"I have always been deeply sorry for what happened back then."

Mu Yi and Gu Shen were walking in the deep alleys of the Snow Forbidden City. He said softly: "Nagano is converging in Central City. Five major schools and three major institutions have jointly recommended you to be the most important 'hub' in the confluence... Although the general trend is Support, but when you truly become the 'hub', you will find that you will always encounter some troubles and need some help."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Mu Yi said calmly: "If it's for 'merger'... Mu is willing to do some dirty work."

This sentence is already very explicit.

Rather than say, for the sake of merging, it is better to say...for Gu Shen.

As long as Gu Shen needs it.

Then Mu Shi can "step forward."

"Master, you don't have to feel guilty. What happened back then has long since passed."

Gu Shen smiled, shook his head, and said, "If there is trouble when the two continents merge, I will have my own means to clear it up. You don't have to worry about this little thing."

Mu offered help.

And it was proposed by the head of the family himself, which was actually very tempting.

You know, the words "dirty work" came from Mu Yi's mouth...

However, Gu Shen did not want his relationship with the Mu family to deteriorate.

He had a close personal relationship with Mu Nan and Gong Zi.

During this frozen lake mission, he also sincerely admired Mu Qingyang's drive. This was a once-in-a-century "stupid young man" who never flinched when faced with trouble and was not afraid of death... After experiencing the turmoil in the cemetery, today's Nagano needs such people.

"So good... so good..."

After hearing this, the expression of the head of the Mu family did not change, but his eyes became a little more complicated.

he knows.

I was rejected.

When I entered the Snow Forbidden City at the beginning of that year——

Gu Shen is still a young man with no title, no strength, and "morality that does not match his position".

And now.

The well-deserved S-class, the successor of the Judgment Office, the Chosen One of the Frozen Lake, the True Divination Technique, the Only Trustee in Dou Zhan, the Hub of Two Continents... these names are more terrifying than the last.

Mu wanted to back down, but it was too late.

The two of them walked to the exit of the long alley.

Gu Shen suddenly smiled and said: "I think it will be a good thing for the Mu family in the future to have people like Mu Qingyang..."

Mu Yi was startled.

"Frozen Lake Killing, he is on the same team as me."

Gu Shen said slowly: "Brother Qingyang has ideals and ambitions, strength and courage... What is slightly lacking is probably strategy and composure. He regards Mr. Gu Changzhi as the goal he pursues in his life. Such a person should be in Nagano There’s a place for it. What do you think?”

"..."

Mu Yi was silent for two seconds and said seriously: "The frozen lake mission is over. He still needs to return to Jiuning to handle some personal matters. Next month...next week, he will be transferred back to Nagano."

"Really? That's great."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Regarding the 'merger' of the two continents, there will inevitably be many trivial matters in the future. If Nagano decides to elect me as the 'hub', then I will also need assistants... If Brother Qingyang comes back, you might as well ask him if he is willing I'm not willing to handle the docking tasks with Central City's envoys for Nagano. These shouldn't be considered dirty jobs, but they are definitely tiring jobs."

"No need to ask, he is willing. This kid is always hardworking and never gets tired."

Mu Yi said seriously: "In this case, I will tell him not to go back to Frozen Lake... It just so happens that the Central City envoy is here, and the docking mission can start tomorrow."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Gu Shen couldn't laugh or cry, and felt helpless: "The selection of the 'hub' has not been finalized yet, right?"

"Although some things have not yet been decided, everyone knows the result deep in their hearts..."

Mu Yi asked with a smile: "This election is a vote by everyone from three institutes and five institutes. Who among them will not vote for you?"

Gu family, Bai family, Gong family, Li family, Mu family.

Judgment office, prison, command post.

When Mu Yi said this, Gu Shen felt a little confused. It turned out that... everyone here was one of his own.

Needless to say, the Gu family has two votes respectively for Gu Nanfeng and the old man.

The Bai family has no suspense. Xiaoxiu is not interested in the "hub" matter at all. He only cares about personal practice.

As for the others...it's all the same.

Therefore, the head of the Mu family's "condescension" to come to see him today was not just a simple expression of gratitude.

In the future situation of the Five Continents, Gu Shen is the spokesperson of the God's Throne, holding the rudder of the two continents' convergence——

As the last of the five families, the Mu family felt that their personal relationship with Gu Shen was far less close than that of the Li family.

So Mu Yi came forward in person.

He hoped to find a ray of light for the Mu family in the confusing future situation.

Stand at the alley exit.

Gu Shen said softly: "Mr. Mu, you don't have to think too complicated about some things. Although I can't be the second Gu Changzhi, I am not the second Gu Lushen."

Mu Yi fell silent.

"You don't have to make special arrangements for Brother Qingyang, and don't be in a hurry. Let him go back to Jiuning and arrange those trivial matters before returning to Nagano."

Gu Shen said with a smile: "My attitude remains here and will never change. Maybe Brother Qingyang cannot achieve as high an achievement as Mr. Gu Changzhi, but in my heart, he is also a sun, and a Nagano cannot The missing sun, so... he will be indispensable for the future merger, and even if he wants to leave, I will not agree."

…

…

The head of the Mu family was sent away.

Gu Shen walked out of the alley alone. People were coming and going in the Snow Forbidden City. He came to the Ninghe Bridge and looked at his face reflected in the river.

"What are you thinking about now."

Chu Ling's voice rang out in the spiritual sea.

The Ninghe River is full of twists and turns.

It seemed as if a second face was reflected.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Try to guess?"

"You are thinking about what Mr. Bai Shu said to you." Chu Ling said: "If the seven gods are about to fight, what should you do, what should Nagano do..."

"Is this really what you guessed?"

Gu Shen sighed, his tone already indicating the answer.

"Theoretically, it's a 'guess'."

Chu Ling's tone was calm: "You successfully recruited Miss Mu to become an apostle, and also arranged for Mu Qingyang to enter the 'Convergence' project in the future... Beizhou and Dongzhou are about to be twisted into an iron plate, and you are the most important 'Pivot', at this moment, these are the only things you can think about, and you still need to do a lot more."

"..."

Gu Shen stopped arguing.

He lay on the bridge, watching the water flow quietly, and then suddenly asked: "Do you think I would be too hasty if I gave half of my authority to Mu Wanqiu and directly selected the first [Apostle]?"

After a brief silence.

"I can't predict the future of Tinder."

Chu Ling said sincerely: "But I don't think you did anything wrong. Mu Wanqiu and Mu Qingyang are both very good candidates..."

"Choose?"

"Yeah. A champion, a sun."

Chu Ling said calmly: "Just talking about the selection of 'apostles', if you want to reach the top of the Supreme God's throne, you are destined to crush countless thorns. And on the day of Pluto's coronation, someone needs to overcome the thorns and help you win the crown. There are thousands of choices to choose from. You can't find a more suitable 'winner' than Mu Wanqiu."

There was a moment's pause.

"As for the sun... as the name suggests, it burns itself and bursts into light."

"After Gu Changzhi's death, no one can bear this title. Judging from Mu Qingyang's performance in the frozen lake mission... he can be called the next 'Sun'."

Gu Shen smiled: "How did you come up with these two words? Is this also the storage of [source code]?"

"Throughout the ages, there have been basically those who hold the throne... In a sense, the person who holds the crown will be the person who is most suitable for the 'fire' besides the owner of the throne." Chu Ling said: "Although I made up this word, it is There is history to rely on, such as the predecessor Gu Changzhi of the Battle God Seat."

"Gu Changzhi's champion..."

Gu Shen was startled, then murmured: "Baizhu?"

"Yes." Chu Ling said with a smile: "Without Bai Shu, there would be no Gu Changzhi. The one who wins the championship can sometimes be the strongest opponent."

So after Gu Changzhi died, Baizhu inherited the fire.

And there is no obstacle at all.

Tinder accepted him completely.

"So...where's the sun?"

"I didn't make this up." Chu Ling felt guilty, and she explained in a lower voice: "I looked through Mu Qingyang's mental network... He had thought about his future title a long time ago and secretly hid it. When you're in deep water, take it out and look through it from time to time."

"I examine myself three times a day..."

"The title he gave himself was the sun."
