Barrier of Light

"What... do you want me to do?"

When Gu Shen revealed Yuan Shuocheng's biggest weakness, the originally arrogant and hypocritical Bishop of the Holy City suddenly became sincere.

Gu Shen looked at this change and found it really funny.

"What do you think?"

"The 'Holy City Congregants' led by me will do their best to provide reinforcements." Yuan Shuocheng gritted his teeth and said: "You go out, and I will follow behind... If you really lack manpower, I can also send some congregants. As a 'vanguard'."

"Do I care about this?"

"Then what do you care about?" Yuan Shuocheng had a headache and said, "If you have any demands, just ask!"

"Your mission in coming to Sangzhou Cave should be more than just 'reinforcement'." Gu Shen said calmly: "I want to know Jiadi... to be precise, it is the layout of the Holy City for Sangzhou Cave."

"???"

Yuan Shuocheng's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Shen in disbelief.

Gu Shen, who was stepping on the flying sword, smiled and looked at him.

"Why don't you just kill me!" Yuan Shuocheng was anxious and said quickly: "How could I say such a thing?!"

He became a broker and received benefits from both Central City and the Saint...

If Gu Shen insists on exposing this information, the most he can do is hand over all the corruption. With the relationship he has established through mediating with the church over the years and the achievements he has made, as long as he can repay the losses of the saints, he will not be punished with death!

But if this kind of news is informed.

Then he is completely on the point of no return.

"I see……"

Gu Shen smiled and said: "It's not that I can't say, but it's not that I don't know. It seems that your status within the Church of Storms is indeed very high. Not only Gadi, but other saints should also have entrustments to you. .”

Yuan Shuocheng said again: "???"

"Don't worry, I don't expect you to betray the Holy City."

"As long as you make sure that you will 'work hard' during the mission, that's enough." Gu Shen said leisurely: "The news I hold in my hand requires you to put in these efforts, isn't it too much? After all, it's your job In my eyes, the lives of those believers are not a precious thing... I don't ask for much. You can send a hundred people to the front to open the way now. If something happens, the Holy City will deal with it first, and these believers will be dealt with. Then go to the Holy City to ask for it, my people are very precious and I don’t want to lose any of them.”

"……walk slowly."

Yuan Shuocheng gritted his teeth and pulled out this word.

"Wait a minute!"

He suddenly asked: "You haven't told me...the source of this news!"

Gu Shen glanced at Yuan Shuocheng.

"Look in the mirror, are you qualified to ask questions?"

After saying this, he drove away with his sword.

The long sword drew an arc in the air and fell into the distance.

…

…

"A long time ago, I visited the world 'beyond the wall'."

Gu Xiaoman was dressed neatly, with his fifth-level source armor sticking as tightly as skin, and a thin black shirt on top. His neat short hair was tied into a short ponytail behind his head.

She stood on the high wall of Area S12 with a complicated expression.

That was three years ago, when the awakening experiment had just begun... She was attacked by a beast spirit on the way to the E0 area of ​​the East Cave when she was "sold". Xiao Man still remembers the bloody scene.

First awakening.

When faced with animal spirits, humans have almost no chance of winning.

These ferocious beasts living in the outer ring of Sangzhou Cave rely on their survival instincts. Once they awaken and possess extraordinary essence... they will be greatly improved in the two things of "hunting" and "destruction"!

Humans, on the other hand, are physically weak and need to practice slowly and use their wisdom to master and control this power in order to become "strong".

"rest assured."

Shen Li smiled and said: "Three years ago and now are different. You have now mastered the basic level of the spiritual system of 'breathing method'."

"Elementary..."

Gu Xiaoman looked a little nervous. She already knew the approximate levels of the deep water area and the corresponding strengths of the extraordinary levels.

"At the beginning level, it should be enough to deal with some beast spirits with no brute strength."

Shen Li said seriously: "Xiaoman, your ability is [Dream]. For those extraordinary beasts with no mental defense capabilities, you only need to find opportunities to destroy their 'brains', and they will be unable to do anything and pose a threat to you." No threat."

"Having said that."

Gu Xiaoman smiled bitterly and said, "I'm still a little nervous."

"You're so nervous..."

Shen Li said angrily: "Look what you are wearing? Fifth-level source armor! Ordinary beast spirits would find it difficult to hurt you."

"Uh-huh!"

Gu Shen returned to the city wall with his sword, and his spiritual power enveloped the wall. He had already heard the conversation between the two.

"This trip out of the city... to hunt the beast spirits is just a trial. When you encounter some wild elementary beast spirits, you don't have to be afraid. Just think of it as a review of the 'physical skills' learned in the past few days."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "By the way, let's think about the preliminary use of the mental ability I gave you -"

The primary mental power is mainly [Minor Hypnosis].

This time he went out of the wall, just to test Gu Xiaoman's ability.

certainly--

The real enemy has never been the animal spirit.

This time when we go out to hunt in the city, what we really need to watch out for are the four divine envoys!

"I have added a ray of 'dark fire' to Gu Xiaoman's spiritual sea." Gu Shen whispered in his heart: "With the blessing of 'fire', the 'prophet' of the Tower of Source will no longer be able to divine the son of the gods. The exact location... But even so, we still can’t take it lightly.”

He had previously read the spiritual sea of ​​a Tower of Source law enforcer in Area E0.

The "Cloud Mirror" given by the Sky God's Throne gave Gu Xiaoman's personal portrait, as well as some vague characteristics——

"Xiao Man, come here... take this thing with you."

Gu Shen knelt down and took out a thin black veil from his arms.

A-level sealed object [Ghost Veil].

When such an object was taken out, the expressions of several extraordinary beings on the high wall became strange, because an evil spiritual aura filled the surrounding space... This was a rather sinister and strange sealed object.

Normal people will encounter misfortune if they wear it.

A long time ago, it was actually red, as scarlet as blood.

Until he met Gu Shen.

"Pluto" carried out a dimensionality reduction attack on this sinister sealed object. All the ominous things in the world could not offset the disaster carried by "Pluto" itself. Following Gu Shen, [Ghost Veil] became quiet instead. Get up... Most of the time, it was soaked in Gu Shen's "blazing fire". After a long period of tempering by the underworld fire, the color of [Ghost Veil] changed, from red to black.

Sinister, weird, crazy.

Characteristics of this type are gradually erased by Hell Fire.

"This is……"

Gu Xiaoman looked at the black veil, and there was no ominous premonition in her heart at the moment.

During this period, Gu Shen would send her the "fire of vitality" whenever he had time or no time. [Ghost Veil] could recognize its master's aura. Gu Shen retained a part of its dark and crazy nature for it, but it would never dare to appear in it. Gu Xiaoman recovered.

It knows who the truly terrifying being is.

"This is my gift to you."

Gu Shen spoke softly and put the [Ghost Veil] on Gu Xiaoman's cheek. The little guy held his breath. Her yellow and thin face suddenly changed. Gu Shen stretched out his palm and slowly wiped it -

Gu Xiaoman's face changed.

"Crack."

Gu Shen snapped his fingers again, and the blazing fire condensed into a mirror in the air. Gu Xiaoman looked at this unfamiliar face and reached out to touch his cheek.

"So magical..."

The little girl murmured, "My face has changed..."

"It's an 'illusion'."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "This is how spiritual extraordinary people use their abilities later. The law enforcers from the Tower of Source are looking for you everywhere. Wearing this 'veil' can protect you from being discovered. Just take it off and you can recover. .”

"I see."

The wonder in Gu Xiaoman's eyes slowly subsided. Although she had awakened and worshiped several masters, she would see many "unbelievable" things every time she went deeper into the world of extraordinary beings.

Baixiu saw this scene in his eyes.

He whispered: "I will take care of Xiao Man's safety when I go out this time."

Gu Shen smiled and replied: "We just need to keep an eye on the 'Tower of Source'... With the equipment she has on her, there is actually no need to worry about encountering beast spirits."

Bai Xiu smiled and said, "Yes."

These two S-levels didn't have such good conditions back then. Judging from Gu Xiaoman's top-notch "divine outfit", she really deserves the title of "the son of the gods".

In the past few years, she had tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world.

now.

She ushered in the real "divine favor".

"Rumble--"

Outside the high wall of Area S12, there was a thunderous roar.

In the distance, Yuan Shuocheng's energy boat hovered over the wilderness. The hatch was opened. More than a hundred Church of the Storm believers, following the orders of the Archbishop, landed on the ground and began to advance towards the primitive jungle of Sangzhou Cave.

"here we go."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The law enforcement officers from all districts obeyed the order and formed a team as planned. They followed the command of the [Central Control Channel] and advanced outside the high wall."

Chu Ling took over Dongzhou's [Central Control Channel].

She interacted with dozens of captains at the same time...

The hunt begins.

To the south of the South Cave, nearly a thousand extraordinary people began to move forward.

…

…

Tower of Source.

A drop of water keeps dripping, experiencing endless reincarnation in this boundless spiritual space.

This level is called "The Realm of Reincarnation".

This is a place of pure dreams condensed by the fire of the God's throne, where "spiritual immortality" in a certain sense can be achieved... The famous prophet Mr. Yan lives here.

To be precise, this is where the problem lies.

An old man in a white shirt wearing a snow-white mask walked slowly, with water droplets circulating behind him. He stepped through layers of heavy fog, stretched out his hand to shake away the dreams behind the layers of fog, and then saw the skinny and pitiful man. people.

"Mr. Yan."

Tian Shui's voice was rich and powerful.

He kept a certain distance, which was probably a sign of respect, because the "body" of the man in front of him had "decayed" to a very serious degree... countless dark threads were wrapped around his skin. In fact, These threads are very loose, as if they will fall apart when the wind blows. This miserable appearance is really unbearable to look at.

This is a spiritual space, there is no such thing as a body.

This is Mr. Yan’s soul.

A complete soul.

Because of the extensive use of "divination", he was eventually locked by fate. No one can escape the "price". Even if he escapes to the "Realm of Reincarnation" built by the two gods, he still cannot avoid this ending.

"Tian Shui... you came later than I thought."

The skinny man raised his cheek, and his face was blurred.

Not fog blocking.

His entire soul body turned into a cocoon-like existence wrapped in black silk threads.

The hands are no longer hands and the head is no longer a head.

Among the collapsed silk threads, a little bit of black light was exposed, which should be the eyes... Tian Shui silently looked at him, and he could see that there was still some smile in Yan's eyes.

"The Son of God is lost." Tian Shui said calmly: "I need you to divine again."

"Yeah...I know."

Mr. Yan was still smiling, and he said sincerely: "For such an important matter, you shouldn't come to me today...you should...earlier..."

"It doesn't actually matter when I come to you."

Tian Shui said softly: "I know that you must have known all this for a long time, so I came here just to harvest the 'results' directly. Now you can tell me, what is the divination result of the Son of God?"

"The divination of the Son of God..."

Mr. Yan smiled and said, "There is no result."

"..."

Tian Shui looked at the ruined soul in front of him in silence.

"Before you came, I did a divination once... I can't see the future, present, or past of 'The Son of God'." Mr. Yan's voice was hoarse and he laughed: "If I'm not wrong, I can't see the future, the present, or the past." The 'Wine Fire' in the Tower of Source should be in shock in the near future, right?"

"yes."

Tian Shui calmly said: "Because of this matter, I came late."

"This shows that... the 'Lord of Wine' has been born."

Mr. Yan said warmly: "What a shocking miracle. The fire actually locked onto the owner and gave away a ray of spirit. This very small ray, even if it is invisible, as long as it exists, it will go from zero to one." , and it is enough to cut off all 'divination' in the world. I'm sorry, but with the 'power of divination in ancient texts' I have, I am still far from being able to spy on the gods."

A person has lived to this point.

There is only a ray of soul thought left, which may be shattered at any time.

Then there is nothing to lie——

"It is very important to bring the 'Lord of Wine' back." Tian Shui continued: "If she comes back, you may be saved. The real 'Lord of Wine' is the king of the spiritual world. She may be able to bring you back." Repair your soul as before and make the 'realm of reincarnation' more perfect... In this way, you can live a few more years."

"Live a few more years..."

Mr. Yan murmured in a low voice, his voice was both sarcastic and playful.

"For me...is it a good thing to live a few more years?"

Tian Shui squatted down, slowly stretched out a hand, and touched the black line on Mr. Yan's forehead with the palm of his hand. This man's soul was fragile and could no longer withstand any great torture.

"Whoosh——"

Water droplets keep falling in the sky and reincarnate again and again.

In countless reincarnations, there was that moment of stillness.

In this moment of stillness, Tian Shui sent a ray of thought to Mr. Yan.

"A few more years of life is a good thing."

Under that white mask, you couldn't tell what kind of eyes he had.

Tian Shui said: "There are many things that can only be seen by 'living'."

Mr. Yan was stunned.

"Let the 'Lord of Wine' return to the Tower of Source... This is very important to me, and it is also very important to you."

In the silence, he heard Tian Shui's inquiry sent to the deepest part of his soul.

"So, do you want to live?"
