Barrier of Light

"I want to participate in the ice sea mission."

Gu Xiaoman's voice was firm: "When will we go to sea?"

It had been five years, she had been practicing at the Tower of Source for five years, and she had not yet returned to Nanzhou to see it... For some reason, when she heard the word "ice sea", the deepest string in her heart was plucked.

Intuition from the spiritual system, or the guidance of fate, tells myself in the bottom of my heart.

She had to go on this mission.

"Only Shangcheng should know about this news."

Red Dragon stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, and said softly: "It coincides with the trial of the new divine envoy. According to the rules of the Tower of Source, this sea mission will probably be carried out in conjunction with the trial of the divine envoy candidate... If you decide Going to sea will inevitably be tied to the 'God Envoy Trial'."

"In other words...you have to try to take over the title of 'Red Dragon'."

He retracted his gaze, slowly turned around, and looked at the girl in black cloak: "Are you willing?"

"What a calculation. My guess was indeed correct. You want me to take over the mantle of the 'Red Dragon'."

Gu Xiaoman couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Yunhu made things difficult for me earlier. You pretended you didn't see it. That's probably the reason. Are you hoping to arouse the anger in my heart?"

"That's not the case."

The red dragon shrugged: "If he goes too far and you can't resist it, I will naturally step in... But didn't you enjoy the beating just now? What's the point of rejecting a beating that comes to your door for nothing?"

"..." Gu Xiaoman had nothing to say.

"I'm not interested in being anything other than 'Lord of Wine.'"

Gu Xiaoman said calmly: "If you want to go to the Ice Sea, you must bear the title of candidate for the 'Red Dragon Divine Envoy'... I don't care. But I don't understand. You obviously have other ways to arrange for me to go there."

Red Dragon just said lightly: "The weight of these three words Lord of Wine is not as easy as you think. Just say whether you want to go or not."

Gu Xiaoman looked angrily at this rogue guy.

"……go!"

In the past five years of getting along, she has gotten to know Red Dragon very well.

The real side of this guy is completely opposite to his appearance.

Red Dragon may seem lazy, but in fact he has a clear line. He never delays and never allows anything that touches the bottom line to happen.

The reason why this guy has been the leader of the gods for so many years is that he has super high cultivation talent and murderous ability.

This is a monster on the same level as Master Baixiu!

But what Gu Xiaoman couldn't understand was... With such a high talent, Hong Long's attitude towards practice was very casual. He didn't seem to pursue the highest point of extraordinary practice, but was very interested in other things.

For example, cultivate yourself.

What a weirdo.

She had been to the red dragon's residence once before. This guy obviously had the authority to live on the upper floors of the Tower of Source, above the clouds, but he lived at the bottom of the Dreamland of the Two Gods. There was almost no sun in that place, but Red Dragon has raised many green plants. Without much light, no matter how carefully the owner takes care of them and waters them regularly, those green plants will not grow very vigorously.

However, the flowers and plants raised by the red dragon were very tenacious and managed to survive without dying.

…

…

Dongzhou, the highest-level virtual conference room, held an emergency high-level meeting.

There were more than twenty people seated.

The people in charge of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei areas...the people in power from the three major houses, as well as the talkers from the five major families, are all gathered here.

"Everyone, what do you think about the news about [Ice Sea Ruins]?"

Mr. Gu Qilin sat at the highest seat of the virtual long table and was responsible for leading the meeting.

He has resigned as commander of the command post.

But for a meeting of this kind, he had to appear in person to convince everyone present.

The members and leaders sitting at the long table discussed in whispers.

Just now, a piece of news spread among the top leaders of Dongzhou... The Storm God Throne, which had been missing for six years, finally returned from the ice sea.

Storm did not immediately inform the Supreme Court of the news of his return.

Instead, they secretly sent the Julu Saint southward.

The authenticity of this news has not yet been confirmed, but if it is true, then there is only one purpose of this move... Ruins really appear deep in the ice sea!

"This news is a bit weird. With all due respect, it would be better for Dongzhou not to take any action before getting definite confirmation."

A Jiangnan district councilor spoke.

What he said was not unreasonable. If you think about it carefully, how could such confidential information leak out? And even if it was known to outsiders, how could you kindly inform Dongzhou?

There was a lot of discussion at the long table.

"Everyone..."

At this moment, a majestic female voice spoke: "I can ensure the authenticity of the news."

The noisy conference table fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at the person who spoke, Lu Nanzhi, who was sitting on the right side of the old man.

Dadu District is the first of the four districts in Jiangnan.

As for Lu Nanzhi, she has proved her status with iron-blooded skills over the years... Whether it is influence or reserve strength, she can be called the number one in Jiangnan.

As soon as this statement came out, the Jiangnan congressman who had previously raised the question immediately laughed and said: "I see... Since it is 'Madam' who guarantees it, I will withdraw my just statement."

The head of the Gong family asked in a deep voice: "Sorry, the news is unexpected. It's not that I question your authority, but I want to know... is there any accurate image of such important news?"

"No."

Lu Nanzhi shook his head.

"This information comes from my 'informant'. As for who it is, it is not convenient to disclose it."

Lu Nanzhi paused and said: "You also know that there are secrets involving the fire level, and it is impossible for images to be circulated. But I can tell you that now not only the Storm God's Seat has sent a fleet southward, but also the Tower of Source and the City of Light The action has already begun... If Dongzhou doesn't follow up immediately, he may miss the opportunity."

This news was naturally revealed to her by Red Dragon.

After Honglong received the news from Yunjing, he used the identity of "064" to contact Lu Nanzhi and completed the information transfer.

As for the images.

This is impossible to pass on. Once the [Cloud Mirror] image is spread, the Red Dragon Society will be directly exposed, and the entire Ancient Literature Society conference room may be uprooted.

So the question facing this matter is...whether Lu Nanzhi can convince Dongzhou to take action with just a verbal summons.

Gong Qing frowned, obviously lost in thought.

"Xiaochi, do you have any news over there?"

The old man looked at the head of the Bai family.

Bai Xiaochi whispered: "I sent someone to the cemetery as soon as I got the news, but Mr. Bai Shu seemed to be 'busy' and there has been no response until now."

"oh?"

Although Gu Qilin is old, the sharpness in his eyes has not disappeared.

The God Seat has ears for six directions and eyes for all directions. What can happen that would make such a supreme being so busy that he cannot reply?

After thinking about it, I'm afraid it's just a conversation between the top seats.

The return of the Storm God Seat... is highly likely to be true!

The old man made a decision immediately and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please don't hesitate... I propose that Nagano dispatch a vanguard team, and each district provides a list of auxiliary personnel, and then they can go south to the sea. No matter what the current situation is, let's first find out what is in the depths of the ice sea."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Every person who participated in the meeting was an old fox at the human level.

When they heard Bai Xiaochi's calm reply, they already guessed everything.

Plus the old man spoke.

The proposal was approved immediately.

…

…

There is also a meeting going on at the very depths of the deep water area.

In the past few years, [Deep Sea] has been iterated and upgraded. Due to more and more source materials in the extraordinary era, and more and more spiritual computing power provided by extraordinary people, this deep water area has expanded and deepened dozens of times compared to five years ago. huge!

But one thing hasn't changed.

That is the "base" fictionally built by the power of fire, which is always in the untouchable deepest part of the deep water zone.

"Storm, since you're back, why didn't you say a word?"

The Goddess of the Sky condensed his own spiritual image in a clear and hazy manner, showing himself as a twenty-year-old man in a red robe and bare feet.

Perhaps it was because he was addicted to playing ancient chess in the real world. At this moment, he came to the bottom of the deep water area, holding a black chess piece in his hand.

"Is it really necessary to say that? The spiritual meeting has already been held before I even entered the interior."

Feng Feng sneered lightly: "Put away that hypocritical face. Your [Cloud Mirror] can see everything, so why pretend to be blind?"

At this moment, the divine light of fire was reflected into the deep sea one after another, and several gods who gathered their bodies saw the scene of the storm raging in the sky.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Everyone gathered together, and the Sky Goddess just smiled indifferently at the storm's ridicule.

The relationship between the seven gods is very subtle.

When the news of Gu Changzhi's death just broke, Beizhou ended his association with Xizhou and joined forces with Dongzhou.

So Guangming City moved closer to the Tower of Source, and by the way, it enlisted Nanzhou to suppress the Queen and prevent Beizhou from successfully obtaining the Traveler's Fire.

And now.

The situation has changed again.

The confluence of Beizhou and Dongzhou has entered the second stage.

Guangming City and Source Tower have also formed an alliance in the past five years...but they have not drawn Nanzhou into their camp.

Without the God's Throne, the continent is destined to become only a chessboard.

In the past five years, Guangming City and the Tower of Source have regarded Nanzhou as a blood-draining place and have squeezed out resources. The Holy City can only endure this. As for this grievance, it can only wait for the return of its own divine throne. Confess, the Storm God Throne participating in the meeting at this moment already knows all the unfair treatment that Nanzhou has suffered in the past five years.

Although he doesn't care about the lives of his people.

But the theocratic system he established has encountered great suppression in recent years!

This is what the storm cannot tolerate...

Nanzhou is his territory, and even if he wants to squeeze the lives of those people, he should do it!

But the irony is.

If this happens in another continent, and Storm encounters the situation where other supreme seats of gods leave and disappear, he will also act like this and immediately join forces with other forces to plunder.

There are still only five gods arriving in the deep water area this time.

The Lord of Wine has fallen, and Pluto is as absent as ever.

"Everyone is here, you might as well take a look at this first."

Qinglong was very generous and distributed the images of Yunting Island captured by [Yunjing] with a wave of his hand.

After several gods took a look.

Qinglong looked pointedly at the Storm God's Throne, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone has discovered something good in the six years since I left... I just came back and sent a fleet to sail. It's not as good as everyone's happiness to enjoy it alone. Why not share the good news with everyone?”

"..."

Storm's expression didn't change much.

In fact, he had already guessed that the news that he had sent a fleet to sail would be captured by the sky, but it didn't matter anymore.

All he wants is to be one step ahead.

Even if the sky is aware of it, and now everyone in the top seats knows it, they will not be faster than the fleet of the Julu Saint.

According to the rules established by the Supreme Seat over the past six hundred years, any mission that requires the throne to go out must be a very important event involving the future fate of the human homeland.

After this kind of mission is over, information must be shared free of charge... This is the responsibility that those who refine the fire must bear.

"[The Ice Sea Ruin] is real, I saw 'it'."

The storm waved its hand, summoning the inner scene of its own spiritual sea.

It seemed like a huge raised "iceberg", shrouded in countless snow-white auroras. Just looking at the part exposed on the sea surface, it also looked like a giant whale tens of thousands of meters long.

The God of Light frowned: "What is this?"

"[Ice Sea Ruins] A part of the sea surface."

Feng Feng said calmly: "This thing is dead. It's just that as the source material flows to the five continents and the sea level drops in the depths of the ice sea, part of the outline is gradually revealed. This is also the reason why no one has discovered the [relics] in the past six hundred years." …Six hundred years ago it sank under the sea.”

The God of Light asked again: "Didn't you go in and take a look?"

"I would like to...but if I go in, you won't be able to see me."

Storm sneered, "Do you know how much time it took me to go to the ice sea to perform the mission this time?"

"...six years and one month." Baizhu remembered it clearly.

"No."

Feng Feng shook his head, "As far as I know, the round trip and the length of stay only took me thirty days!"

"???"

The other four gods in the highest seat were shocked.

"Around the [Ice Sea Ruins], there is a 'Land of Time Distortion'!" Feng Feng said with a smile: "If I really try to enter it, I'm afraid when I come back, Wuzhou will be completely different."

"In this way, I stayed around the [Ice Sea Ruins] for seven days. I tried to use my spiritual thoughts to wrap authority and enter the barrier to find out. Later I found... this [ruin] seemed to have a strong influence on the fire authority. After the restraint effect, my mental power melted away, and my authority was also lost."

Storm asked jokingly: "Otherwise, why do you think I would send a saint... If [Ice Sea Ruins] could be entered so easily without side effects, I would have completed the exploration and returned!"
