Barrier of Light

The strong wind died down and the forest leaves flew.

Zhuang Su hung precariously on the branch that was about to break. The moment he saw Gu Shen appear, all the uneasiness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

There are always some people in this world who can give people an infinite sense of security as soon as they appear.

"Mr. Xiao Gu..."

Zhuang Su's voice was weak, and he was ready to tell what had just happened.

A wisp of blazing fire flew out and flew into the center of his eyebrows.

"laugh."

This wisp of flame, with the warmth of spring's resurgence, was burned into Zhuang Su's spiritual sea.

The "iron" traces spreading on his chest quickly disintegrated like ice melting and snow melting.

The mark left by the [Iron Eater] cannot be resolved by ordinary people.

But Gu Shen also has a higher level [Iron Throne]!

As long as it contains iron qualities, he can control it as he wishes!

This "Iron Seal" is extremely dangerous. If he hadn't arrived in time... Even if the iron disciples didn't kill him directly, Zhuang Su would have died from the disease caused by the spread of rusty iron. The blood vessels all over his body would have rusted and countless iron spots would have appeared on his skin. , and eventually turned into an "iron man" from the inside out, suffocating to death.

Zhuang Su felt much more relaxed.

He climbed up the giant tree with difficulty and rested on the main trunk.

"Mr. Zhuang, don't worry...just take a nap and everything will be fine."

At the same time, a soft voice reached Zhuang Su's ears.

The fire of vitality healed his wounds, and the Iron Throne removed his rust marks... The wounds inside and outside were removed, and what was left was hypnosis.

Mr. Zhuang did not resist the calling voice from the spiritual sea.

"Then... please."

He followed the spiritual guidance in his heart, slowly closed his eyes, lowered his head, and fell asleep.

Gu Shen's "Pure Land" wrapped around the giant tree where Zhuang Su was, preventing it from being knocked down by the tide of beasts... After doing all this, he looked at the struggling iron shadow under his palm.

Gu Shen said coldly: "Idiot, do you know what you have done?"

The idiot he was calling was not Shen Li.

But [Iron Eater].

The latter was startled.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shen slapped him on the head!

The "ironized" black and blue shadow has no intention of dodging at all. It is not in a physical state at all. The "Iron Eater" condensed after the fourth level is different from other natural The characteristics of the systems are very similar——

The [Iron Disciple] at this moment seems a bit "elementary".

It is not afraid of physical attacks in the real world at all!

However--

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap bloomed on the iron disciple's cheek.

The iron disciple was hit hard and flew out, spiraling dozens of times in the air... and then barely stopped. It covered its cheeks in disbelief and looked at Gu Shen.

Got hit.

And...it hurts.

It released its palm and cracked half of its cheek. This scene made the "Iron Disciple" who had just gathered some consciousness feel collapsed and frightened... How much power does this seemingly insignificant slap contain?

It's actually not that big.

It's just that the power of the [Iron Throne] and "Pluto's Authority" is too terrifying.

It cannot bear it.

"You dare to 'corrupt' the person I like."

Gu Shen said expressionlessly: "If Shen Li loses control from now on, you have to hold him back. Do you understand?"

"..."

Tie Tu was in a daze and did not respond immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shen slapped her again!

Snapped!

This time, it is still the power of the [Iron Throne]. It seems like a simple slap, but it is like a father hitting his son, not allowing the iron disciple to resist or disobey in the slightest!

The iron disciple was beaten until his whole body was cracked, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately learned the lesson and bowed his head in the void.

It couldn't speak.

But the constant kowtowing action is obviously saying: "I understand! I understand!"

Only then did Gu Shen stop.

He said coldly: "You'd better really understand...otherwise I will destroy you at any time."

Say it.

Only then did he lift the palm that was pressing on Shen Li's shoulder.

Thousands of wisps of blazing fire gathered in the void. The moment Gu Shen released his hold, the [Iron Eater] immediately dissipated, no longer daring to occupy the little iron man's body.

This kind of "ability" that can give birth to one's own consciousness is actually very rare——

This is a symbol of "high-level" ability!

Mu Wanqiu's [Judge] and Xiaoxiu's [Thunder World Walker] all have humanoid forms of their abilities.

With the improvement of extraordinary realm.

The wisdom and combat thinking of the judges and Thunder World Walkers will be improved... and the so-called fourth level is actually a big watershed.

What the fourth-level transcendent possesses is no longer just a "domain embryo", but a "complete domain" that can communicate with the real world. The emergence of a "domain" means "freedom" for extraordinary abilities.

The Thunder World Walker can fly up to the clouds on his own and fight separately from his master!

By analogy, the same applies to the judge.

As for the [Iron-Eating Disciple], in fact, this is an ability that is obviously one level lower than that of the Judge Thunder World Walker... because not every ability master can cultivate an [Iron-Eating Disciple] with a fighting spirit.

Shen Li was partly lucky and partly due to his own strength.

If he hadn't met Gu Shen... he would most likely have faced a difficult and cruel decision when he was on the seventh level of the deep water zone, which was how to survive the period of practice where "gluttony" occurred frequently.

This is a must-have characteristic of [Iron-Eating Disciple], and a problem that all [Iron-Eating Disciple] owners must face.

Or, forcefully oppress [Iron Disciple] to protect his own mental safety——

In this way, when promoted to the fourth level, [Iron Disciple] will not have self-awareness, and the upper limit of the master of ability will not be so high.

Or, increase your mental power to the point where you can easily suppress the [Iron Disciple].

This is too difficult.

In the past hundred years, among the many masters of [Iron Eater], only the Rusty Bone General of Beizhou has achieved this achievement perfectly!

So...his [Iron Disciple] was born with extremely powerful self-awareness at the fourth level!

The second one is Shen Li!

And this choice also means the difficulties after promotion to the fourth level... [Iron Disciple]'s self-awareness has awakened, how can the master of the ability tame and suppress it?

It can be said that this is a huge leap in the ability of [Iron Eater].

But if it is not handled well, it is also the beginning of self-destruction.

…

…

After [Iron Disciple] dissipated, Shen Li did not wake up immediately, he was still in a comatose state.

"Gluttony" will bring about a great improvement in strength.

At the same time, it will also consume a huge amount of mental energy.

There is also a very important point... when the [Iron Disciple] invaded his body earlier, he resisted Zhuang Su's mental attack. Shen Li used his own mental sea to bear this down, and he needed time to digest it.

Countless firelights gathered in Gu Shen's palm, and he spread out the pure land realm, forming a perfect and innocent "spherical barrier" in mid-air... At this moment, it was actually a good opportunity.

On this mission south, Gu Shen deliberately took the little iron man with him.

This was certainly not because of the mission requirements. Shen Li's strength before setting off was only the ninth level of the deep water area.

This mission is very difficult. From the perspective of "completing the mission", it would actually be better to bring Level 4.

the most important reason--

It was because he wanted to find an opportunity to "transform" Shen Li.

Now is the best opportunity!

This is the [Apostle] that I have long admired. I have known him for many years, and no one knows the character of Little Iron Man better than Gu Shen. On the surface, this guy looks honest, honest, and harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he is full of thorns in his heart.

Shen Li can fight for himself!

In Qingzhong Cemetery, Shen Li did exactly that...

Gu Shen never treats those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him. After the "Pluto" incident, the little iron man also helped himself attract a lot of attention. Now the outside world believes that Shen Li is the "Apostle" chosen by Pluto.

Then, it is better to let him really become an [Apostle].

The pure land realm is formed, the ancient tombs are covered with ancient texts, and the extraordinary aura of this place is completely hidden.

Within the spherical barrier.

Gu Shen stretched out his palm and pressed it on Shen Li's forehead.

A large amount of blazing fire rolled and crashed into the little iron man's spiritual sea.

…

…

"Well……"

Shen Li let out a muffled groan.

He seemed to have slept for a long time, and his memory stayed at the moment when the tide of beasts swallowed him up.

At this moment, I have a splitting headache, and a lot of pictures are coming to me.

He saw what "he" did after becoming gluttonous, killing giant elephants, massacring a group of large-winged sparrows... and finally targeted Mr. Zhuang, who was not unkind to him in the neutral organization.

Seeing this, Shen Li's pupils shrank, and he realized that his "loss of control" had brought things to an extreme.

He conveyed the command to "open his eyes" to the depths of the spiritual sea. He wanted to regain control of his body and prevent all of this——

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

In the dark world of memories, cracks appeared one after another... and finally fell into pieces.

He opened his eyes.

But instead of returning to reality, he came to a deeper dream.

It was all pure white, with only a black shadow sitting cross-legged, looking at herself.

"Gu Shen..."

Shen Li stared blankly at the man in black in front of him.

"The things outside are over." Gu Shen said calmly, "Mr. Zhuang is fine."

Shen Li clutched his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He remembered something again: "Adam, where is Adam?!"

"..."

Gu Shen was silent and said softly: "When I arrived, there was no trace of Adam...but he shouldn't be dead."

When Shen Li recalled the "Gluttony" scene earlier, Gu Shen, who had invaded the spiritual sea, also watched it again.

He already knew the ins and outs of this incident.

"not dead?"

"Hmm... I don't feel the breath of the 'dead' in my authority."

If Adam dies, then Gu Shen, who is the "King of Hades" and holds the power of life and death, can clearly feel the spirit of every person who has passed away. No matter how ferocious the large-winged birds are, they will tear Adam's body to pieces. , and it is impossible to completely destroy his soul.

"Is that so, wait...authority?"

Between the ups and downs, Shen Li let out a long breath, and then realized something was wrong.

authority!

These two words are not said casually——

This is something that only the throne of God and his apostles can possess!

"Here..."

Gu Shen spoke softly, while smiling and extending his palm.

There was a bright blazing fire burning in the palm of his hand, mixed with a very dark and slender flame. This wisp of dark flame looked extremely eye-catching against the blazing fire.

A heart-stopping, yet ominous aura emanated from the black fire.

"This is……"

Shen Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He is not a fool. There are only two divine thrones in Dongzhou. This aura of black fire clearly has nothing to do with "fighting"!

The only one left could be "Pluto"!

"Dark Fire."

Gu Shen spoke for him and said calmly: "This is the authority of 'Pluto'... he can see into the 'birth and death of living beings' within a certain range."

The impact of this news was too great.

Shen Li was still a little confused for a moment.

He looked at Gu Shen and then at the wisp of black fire, and his voice became broken: "So... you are an apostle under Pluto?"

Pluto has been dormant in Dongzhou for several years, but no news has come out——

In the past few years, the big shots in the prison have frequently shown kindness to me. Mr. Shan has been extra lenient to me, spoke kindly to me, and even gave me the keys to his old mansion... Putting these pieces of information together, even an idiot would be surprised. You can guess why all this is happening.

They all regard themselves as the apostles of Hades!

Shen Li is an honest person. He did not hide it, but immediately found a teacher who taught him how to practice and grow up.

The Fourth Inquisitor told Shen Li word by word and with a solemn expression that there were some things that he had to pretend to be confused while still understanding... It didn't matter whether he was an apostle or not. What mattered was that outsiders thought he was.

So Shen Li was confused and was forced to become an "apostle".

He looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression.

It turns out that the real apostle is Brother Gu...

"No."

Unexpectedly, Gu Shen shook his head and slowly said two words: "...guess again."

This time, Shen Li was really confused.

Guess again?

How else can you guess!

A person holds the authority of "Pluto Fire", but he is not an apostle of Hades...

That can only be Hades.

Shen Li was so stunned that he could not utter a single word. He looked at Gu Shen and felt strange as never before. Is there anything in this world that is more shocking, surprising and difficult to accept than "Gu Shen is the King of Hades"? ?

At least not for him anymore.

"you……"

"you……"

Shen Li's mind went blank.

Many things were figured out at once, including why he was specially treated by Gu Shen when he entered the Qing Tomb.

Why did my spirit improve so quickly?

Why did Gu Shen tell him the "apostle" news?

All the "whys" are answered at this moment.

Thousands of words condensed into the biggest question deep in Shen Li's heart: "Why...why did you tell me?"

Yes, there are no problems in his mind, only this one is left.

The situation among the Seven Gods of the Five Continents is tense!

The replacement of Pluto's seat can be called a decisive blow. For Gu Shen, nothing is more important than the practice of forbearance... Presumably the real "Pluto Fire" is in the cemetery, waiting for the owner to pick it.

"why tell you?"

Gu Shen smiled. He looked at the little iron man and said slowly, "Because I believe... you won't leak the secret."

"Are you kidding? Of course I won't leak the secret..."

Shen Li's head shook like a rattle.

This matter is related to the fate of Dongzhou... Once Gu Shen's identity as Pluto is known to other continents, then I am afraid that several people in the highest seats will personally take action to kill him!

No one can accept that a new god appears in Dongzhou.

And... in Shen Li's heart, Gu Shen is the well-deserved "best choice" of the new generation.

He had lamented the limited firepower a long time ago. With Gu Shen's talent, once he achieved the status of god, he might be able to completely overturn the situation in Wuzhou and accomplish some things that even Mr. Gu Changzhi could not do!

"Actually, the reason why I tell you this secret..."

Gu Shen suppressed his smile.

He raised the Hades Fire in front of Shen Li and asked in a solemn voice: "Is it because I want to ask you if you are willing to become the second apostle of 'Pluto'?"
