Barrier of Light

The world inside the high wall is not as cold as the outside.

The inferior drone of the first generation, which has long since been eliminated, has a small lantern hanging from the bottom, flying precariously inside the wall of the S3 living area, spreading a warm spiritual glow.

Those extraordinary people who survived the disaster huddled in the world behind the wall to survive.

In the past three years, they have basically given up the idea of ​​leaving their living area and seeking help from outside. There are too many wild beasts dormant in the dense forest, and...who else can they turn to for help?

church? Wuzhou government? If asking for help was useful, Sangzhou Cave would not be what it is today.

They know they have been given up.

Due to the notification from the spiritual extraordinary person, "backup" arrived soon... However, the misunderstanding was resolved. After a round of handover by the high wall patrol, Patil led Gu Shen and his party to the new living area. go.

Although this place is simple and shabby, it has everything it needs.

Residence, training ground, equipment maintenance office...

"These were built by 'Mr. Zhuang' with us." Patil's voice was hoarse: "The survivors built new homes here and built high walls... He passed away not long after."

Gu Shen's expression was complicated.

[Deep Sea] has launched a massacre against the Ancient Literature Society. If you want to choose a suitable "hiding place"...

Then Sangzhou Cave is indeed very suitable.

This place is far away from the inland and close to the edge of the world. The Church of Storms allows various sects to compete for believers here, resulting in chaos. In this chaos, the members of the Ancient Literature Society can get exactly the "peace" they want.

"Mr. Zhuang, he should be one of the 'lost people' in Nanzhou."

Chu Ling analyzed: "During the massacre twenty years ago, there were many missing people in Nanzhou... If they really came to Sangzhou Cave, then there must be more than one member. I think, here There may still be a secret base built by the 'Guwen Society'."

"Mr. Zhuang's tombstone is right here."

In the new home within the S3 wall, there are scattered stone monuments in the most remote corners.

Patil came here with everyone.

"Some of the 'bodies' outside have not been disposed of... because they are 'extremists' who believe in the church. If their bodies are disposed of, there may be trouble."

Patil paused and said: "Sangzhou Cave is in a mess now. It's not just the 'S3 living area' that has built high walls. Many high walls have been built in the four major areas. There is not much we can do, just Protect yourself.”

"Trouble?" Shen Li asked, "What trouble will these corpses cause?"

“The church’s methods are many and terrifying.”

Patil said seriously: "Mr. Zhuang warned us before he died that we cannot resist the extraordinary power held by the church. Anyone related to the church should not touch it easily."

"The Seat of Storms will leave 'spiritual traces'."

Adam said: "After these corpses are disposed of, they may be found by the Church of Storms following the 'spiritual traces'... The warning given to you by Mr. Zhuang is correct, but he overestimates the importance that Storm attaches to his people. Those people in the church don’t care about the death of such extraordinary beings.”

"You just said 'extremes'."

Gu Shen said calmly: "You shot me earlier...were you worried that I was an 'extremist'?"

"……right."

Patil nodded: "Although the extraordinary beings of the sect have evacuated, there are also fanatical believers who have been transformed in Sangzhou Cave. The people who now live in the S3 living area are all 'neutral people'. We do not want to participate in the 'church' 's struggle, so we also reject the preaching of 'extremists'...if they are allowed in, the living area will become a mess."

"... At this time, you still want to preach?"

Shen Li couldn't understand.

"Reality is often so cruel..."

Gu Shen paused and said, "The more miserable your life is, the more you need the support of faith."

Extraordinary awakening can be understood as part of the coming of "miracles".

Then this sudden awakening experiment, in the eyes of fanatical believers, is like a test given to this island by the "Throne of Storms"... They must survive and prove to the great existence above the storm that they are alive. meaning!

…

…

Just turned around to leave the cemetery.

"drop--"

A female voice with a cold voice sounded in Gu Shen's mental sea.

"Gu Shen, it's me."

This is Mu Wanqiu's voice.

Through the underworld fire, the two can already achieve long-distance "calls", which Golden Spike Flower can also do. Gu Shen's pure land is an extremely huge spiritual transfer station. Unless it enters a disaster situation that is completely isolated from the outside world, otherwise [Apostles] can all contact him.

"Beizhou Transcendents have arrived at the Holy City Research Institute base."

Mu Wanqiu said: "Although there are some conflicts outside the base... the troops from the four continents are now preparing to enter the 'Sangzhou Cave'."

"contradiction?"

Gu Shen smiled and said in his heart: "I guess it was the Suzaku Divine Envoy from the upper city who caused the trouble."

"Well, I heard that you kidnapped their scientific researchers..." Mu Wanqiu reminded: "I'm afraid this guy will settle a score with you as soon as he gets in. You must be careful."

"nothing."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Has he already entered the Sangzhou Cave, alone?"

"The red dragon caught him, and the four divine envoys gathered together."

Mu Wanqiu said calmly: "The extraordinary people from Shangcheng will set off together... If you need help, please tell me at any time. Lu Zhe is also here for this mission."

First team captain Lu Zhe!

A fourth-level transcendent...the best among the best!

"……good."

Of course Gu Shen would not refuse this obvious kindness.

Nagano and Central City have been confirmed to merge.

Then you must not miss the opportunity to join forces with the top experts of the Survey Corps to defeat your opponent!

"In addition...the World Conference divided the area of ​​Sangzhou Grottoes into four large areas, with a total of 79 medium-sized living areas. Since the 'Holy City' did not express its position on this operation, Therefore, these four large areas are basically divided equally by the extraordinary people from the four continents."

Mu Wanqiu said: "It's just that the four divine envoys and the new blessings have expressed their protest..."

"New blessing?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows: "Guangming City selected the 'Blessed Son' quite quickly. Didn't you get the news over there?"

He didn't even know this news...

This kind of breaking news, the temple in Xizhou has been keeping secret, and it was only released this time during the Sangzhou Cave operation... Was Beizhou's countermeasures against Guangming City discovered?

"This 'New Blessed Son' should have just been selected. He has average strength and will most likely not be your opponent."

Mu Wanqiu added: "Beizhou's 'countermeasures' against Guangming City are currently safe. The hidden objects have been pulled out, and they are all handled by the 'Attic' side... It's just that Guangming City has no control over these hidden objects." They handle it very smartly. They always maintain one-line communication and never say much about other news outside of the mission. Therefore, they don’t know the news about the ‘New Blessing’.”

"I see."

Gu Shen returned to the topic, frowned and asked: "The envoys and blessings protested. What were they protesting about?"

“Unequally divided.”

Mu Wanqiu's words were concise and concise, "They don't want to divide them equally. According to the results of the World Conference, there are a total of seventy-nine living areas. Central Continent, Beizhou, and Western Continent each have 20 living areas. East Continent... will take 19, and one of them is larger." big."

"Ah."

Gu Shen glanced at the mental projection and said, "Is that so? Nineteen seats were allocated to Dongzhou, one less than them?"

He set off first and came to Sangzhou Cave.

The results of the World Conference's deliberations were over, and I didn't even have time to pay attention.

"The people in Shangcheng require a 'spiritual meeting' before entering Sangzhou Cave." Mu Wanqiu said: "They hope to redraw the boundaries... [Deep Sea] should contact you about the specific matters of the meeting. .”

…

…

The spiritual link ended, and Gu Shen looked obviously unhappy.

Both Shen Li and Bai Xiu noticed it.

He simply passed on the message just now.

"Go up town and demand a spiritual meeting?"

Shen Li sneered: "They think it's unfair, we still think it's unfair... Why do we have less land than the other three continents?"

Baixiu reminded: "The mission of Sangzhou Cave... is currently to help the research institute to eliminate possible threats of 'transcendent creatures'."

Except for the Queen Birdwing Butterfly.

There are many unknown extraordinary species on this volcanic island——

The more living area territories obtained, the more extraordinary species have to be cleaned up... But the four divine envoys may not care about this. Their strength is enough to run rampant throughout the Sangzhou Cave.

Cleaning up extraordinary species and taking away some samples is probably a test task assigned to them by Mr. Tianshui...

Essentially, they were killing extraordinary beings not for the sake of the local people.

What is happening to the people inside the wall, and what does it have to do with the upper city?

"The bigger the fiefdom, the more resources..."

Shen Li's voice was filled with anger: "What are you doing, dividing the land to collect vegetables? In Shangcheng's eyes, is this place just a vegetable garden?"

"Yes. Maybe worse."

Gu Shen asked calmly: "Just imagine, if Dongzhou had agreed to the experimental application for the 'Awakening Act', what would be the current situation...?"

“The strong become the chess players.”

"The weak... naturally can only be reduced to a chessboard."

In the spiritual sea of ​​the three people, they all received the announcement sent by [Deep Sea] on behalf of the Five Continents Council.

The application to the city was approved.

Before entering the Sangzhou Cave, all leader-level extraordinary beings who have passed the "certification" will have the opportunity to enter the "conference room"... The four divine envoys and the newly blessed sons hope to discuss the "Sangzhou Cave Mission" The issue of regional division will be renegotiated.

Gu Shen looked back at Vyas and Patil.

The two people had not seen each other for many years. They were leaning on a reinforced concrete stone in the ruins and chatting. There were many survivors on the dilapidated streets in the S3 living area. Under the leadership of "Mr. Zhuang", they had An organization was formed, and they heard that outsiders had entered the high wall. They all gathered together at this moment, staying far away from each other and not daring to get close. They just looked at Gu Shen and the others carefully.

They don't know.

The "home" they have lived in for many years does not belong to them.

No matter how high a wall is built, it cannot be higher than the control of the [Deep Sea].

Sangzhou Cave is an isolated island on the edge of Nanzhou, but it is also a chessboard firmly held in the palm of the Five Continents Council.

And they...even if they awaken their extraordinary abilities, they are still just pawns used for sacrifice. No matter where they die, they will not really care.

Life is so small sometimes.

…

…

deepwater zone.

Countless arcs of light flew past and were quickly "constructed" in the spiritual ocean current.

As the computing power of the virtual spiritual network becomes more and more powerful, there are more and more functions in the deep water zone.

The application submitted by the Four Divine Envoys to the Five Continents Council was approved. This is not actually a privilege of the "Upper City". The highest seat is not the highest seat for one person in the Sky God Seat... The division of the seventy-nine seats is unreasonable, which is the common opinion of the Four Continents God Seat. .

Guangming, Douzhan, and the Queen all approved the construction of the "conference room".

After the top seat nodded——

A spiritual conference room large enough to accommodate twenty people was "constructed" in a very short period of time.

[Deep Sea] made the membership qualifications into "spiritual invitations" and sent them to the spiritual sea of ​​powerful and prestigious representatives of each continent. In the following meeting, it invited these people to join the membership.

Gu Shen and Baixiu both received the invitation.

And Shen Li... although he was a core member of the Sangzhou Cave mission personally invited by Gu Shen, his strength and status were inferior, so he didn't receive the invitation.

The little iron man was a little depressed.

But think about the battle between dragons and tigers in the "spiritual conference room" next.

He felt that maybe it was a good thing that he didn't go to the meeting.

Under Gu Shen's "privilege" request, [Deep Sea] selectively gave Shen Li a "spectator permission" for this meeting... The specific content of this meeting will not be disclosed to the public, and there is a "spectator permission" ”, you can enter the deep water area together and watch the progress of the meeting.

When the meeting began, Gu Shen and Bai Xiu found a relatively quiet place.

The spirit is linked to the [deep sea].

…

…

His spirit was immersed in the deep sea, his consciousness gradually sank, and he finally came to an endlessly dark conference room.

This scene seems familiar.

However, when Gu Shen opened his eyes, what he saw was not faces covered in fog, but real faces that had been blurred in the deep water area and shrouded in a faint spiritual glow.

This is not an online meeting of the Classical Literature Society...

"Gu Shen."

"Xiao Gu."

A familiar voice greeted him.

Gu Shen nodded and saw that the long table was divided into four directions. The people greeting him from Beizhou were "Wild Dog", the garrison of Luoyin City whom he had met once in Xiaohuangshan, Dadu, and Lu Zhe, the captain of the first team.

Mu Wanqiu just glanced at herself and then looked away.

The two have already established a close link between the "God Seat" and the "Apostle", and there is no need to communicate too much here.

On the other side, the shadows of the four gods of Central Continent slowly emerged.

Red Dragon, Cloud Tiger, Suzaku, Black Turtle...these four star-filled priests are all young and have strong spiritual auras. Even in the "Forbidden Martial Arts" conference room in the deep water area, you can feel the presence of these four top fourth-level priests. sense of oppression.

In this meeting, Guangming City had the smallest number of participants.

The new blessed son is gentle, weak, and quiet. He seems to be completely opposite to Meng Xiao.

In Xizhou, only two people attended the meeting, he and Jia Wei.

On Dongzhou's side... there were three people.

"Gu Shen, long time no see."

A lazy, slightly hoarse man's voice sounded beside Gu Shen.

Gu Shen turned around and saw a young face that was unfamiliar yet familiar.

Curly hair, black eyes.

It's been three years since they last met, and Gu Shen really didn't expect that there would be a third person from Dongzhou Fang in this meeting.

He smiled and said, "Chen?"
