Barrier of Light

Behind the door of the bronze hall is a throne with a sharp sword.

The throne is very large, extremely wide, like a hill.

On this throne that can accommodate a giant to sit easily, there is indeed a dry body sitting...

Because it has been too long, it has weathered over time.

This body has only dry bones left.

The long sword was initiated from the position of the Tianling Cap of the skull, penetrated through the chest, and penetrated into the throne.

This scene was so shocking that Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman were stunned in place as they pushed the door open.

Their eyes were drawn to the dead bones on the throne.

Because at the heart of that withered bone, there was a golden crystal-like [Fire] floating in the air. Even if it was pierced by a long sword, it still emitted a dazzling golden light.

The bronze hall slowly closed.

The radiance emitted by this golden crystal was also blocked from the world by the bronze door.

The hall became empty and very quiet.

"This is... fire?!"

Gu Shen couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes. He wanted to step forward to check, but a square cube floated over at this moment.

"If withered flowers can be regarded as flowers, then this extinguished fire... should barely be regarded as a kindling."

Afu's voice rang out from the square: "You two, this is what I call the 'answer'. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman looked at each other.

The two of them had complicated emotions at the moment, and their thoughts were also a little complicated.

Because there are so many problems!

Ever since they met Afu and unveiled the [Ice Sea Ruins], in just ten minutes, they had received too much information that subverted their understanding.

After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Xiaoman spoke first: "Is this really a fire? Does it belong to the owner of the 'Initial Number'?"

"This is indeed a fire, but it does not belong to my master."

Afu said softly: "As you can see, this fire has been extinguished at the moment... but if it can be rekindled one day, it may still be able to exert its previous power."

"The fire will also go out?"

"certainly."

Afu whispered: "Everything in the world is born and destroyed...even fire is no exception. It can burn and may be extinguished. However, the 'extinguishing' of this fire is not natural aging, but man-made lead to."

Speaking of this, there seemed to be some pride in its tone.

"The master put it out."

Another shocking news.

Gu Shen rubbed his brows and said, "What happened back then? About this throne, this fire, and this sword, just tell me directly...we won't ask."

"Because my 'timing system' malfunctioned, I don't know how many years ago this happened. All in all, this is a story from a long time ago."

Afu's spirit controlled this square cube, slowly floating in the bronze hall.

"The master has devoted his whole life to creating weapons that can crush 'chaos'."

"The initial number you see...is an attempt by the master, but this attempt failed."

Afu's voice was a bit emotional, and also a bit northward: "Although many people call it a 'starship', in fact it is just a nice name... It was born here, and it was also submerged here, for a long time In the past, it has never traveled a single step. Rather than saying this is a big ship, it is more like a cage. People who enter the Initial will never be able to travel far... This is just a failed creation."

The expressions of Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman changed.

The two looked at each other.

They didn't expect that the history of this big ship was like this.

The initial ship was named "Starship", which shows the ambition of Master Afu. Unfortunately, the creation failed. This big ship cannot be moved and can only stay here... Everything here is a failure. In a sense, Afu is also a failure.

Gu Shen suddenly understood where the sadness in Afu's tone came from.

It is genuinely proud of its owner.

But I also feel sad for its fate.

"I have conducted many creation experiments on the 'Initial'. I have witnessed the master making history time and time again. He is a well-deserved monument."

Speaking of his master, the sadness on Afu's face disappeared.

The sound that vibrated out of the square was sonorous and powerful.

"Although the Initial failed, the master later really created the 'starship'. It was a giant thing that could fly above the zenith, skimming between the clouds and the sky, like a giant whale swimming under the sea, without any effort. , I have seen the images sent back by the 'starship'... When the chaos came, the master took his tribe aboard the 'starship', and they traveled to places they had never reached before, looking for the legendary 'oasis'. "

The word "oasis" comes out.

Gu Shen was stunned.

He seems to have heard this story...

It's just that it is a story belonging to ancient humans. Six hundred years ago, ancient humans traveled southward in search of oases, and finally found the Five Continents.

But Afu’s master?

And this "starship" created?

Suddenly, Gu Shen thought of a very absurd possibility...

Afu's master is the ancient human being who escaped the storm of essence six hundred years ago. Perhaps even earlier, the history of human escape has begun long ago, but the history is fragmented, and no one knows what the past was like before landing on the five continents.

After history is broken.

Even with the highest seat, the information that can be known is limited.

Everyone only knows...life six hundred years ago was dark. Everyone was hiding in the nutrition cabin of the ship and trying to escape.

In that era of extreme chaos, there was actually no direction.

There was darkness on all sides.

The fleeing ships of human civilization, relying on extremely strong beliefs, desperately headed in one direction, finally arrived at the Five Continents and survived.

But if this world has an end, it can be connected into a circle.

Then it all makes sense.

This [Ice Sea Ruins] is not a home created by other civilizations at all.

From the beginning, this has been mankind's own home, and it is the first home. During the escape process of who knows how many years, this home has been abandoned, and other buildings in the home have been destroyed and weathered, and there is no trace left. Searching.

But the Initiate was a failed creation. Due to its extremely tough protection mechanism, it survived the disaster and was submerged by the sea of ​​ice.

The initial account cannot be started, so it can only sink and sink again.

Waiting for the ebb and flow.

Sea levels dropped over countless years.

[Ice Sea Ruins] reappear in the world...

"and after?"

Gu Xiaoman's voice broke the tranquility of the Bronze Hall.

The little guy stared at the cube and asked seriously: "Your master left his home with his tribe...what happened after that?"

"I have no idea."

Afu's voice was very depressed and somewhat self-deprecating: "After they left, I disconnected the link."

The small cube was deflected so that the side emitting red light faced Gu Shen.

This side can be considered the front with eyes.

Afu said softly: "So you asked me earlier, am I the only one in this hall for so many years... If I am considered a 'person', then the answer is, yes."

"I collected blood samples from all the extraordinary beings who entered the Initial Number."

"Your blood is different from the blood of humans many years ago, but the genetic sequences are similar on a large scale. There is only geographical isolation, not reproductive isolation... From this, I can judge that you are the 'fire' left behind by the migration of civilization. The master’s plan must succeed before I can reunite with you.”

Gu Shen's expression was complicated, and Afu's words confirmed his previous guess.

The current Five Continents civilization is the same faction as the ancient civilization of the original number.

The owner of this initial number is his ancestor in terms of seniority.

"What about this fire?"

Gu Shen pointed to the throne deep in the hall.

"This...is exactly the point of what I want to say next."

Afu's voice paused and said: "The master conducted many experiments back then. I witnessed with my own eyes that he created incredible 'miraculous artifacts', a giant boat that can resist the storm of origin, a divine bow that can shoot through the black and silver mountains... But the most amazing thing is the legendary sword of concept that can extinguish the 'fire of authority'."

"???"

Gu Shen's expression was subtle.

Wait, why do the first two sound familiar?

The giant ship that can withstand the storm, is it the Initial number?

That divine bow that can shoot through the black and silver mountains, shouldn't it be [Extinguish the Candle]?

Gu Xiaoman exposed it mercilessly: "Hey...are you the first one to talk about it?"

"Aha."

Afu smiled happily: "...Exactly."

Although there is some suspicion of boasting, it must be said that the initial number has remained intact from ancient civilizations to the present, which is indeed a miracle.

"The sword of concept that can extinguish the 'fire of authority'..."

Gu Shen looked at the throne and asked seriously: "Is this the one?"

It's a pity that his "power over the underworld" is very limited.

But even if he did, he was not prepared to use his "authority" to try it.

"of course not."

Afu said with disgust: "How could the master leave such an important thing on the Initial Ship?"

Boom!

Gu Xiaoman jumped slightly, took off the small cube, and knocked it angrily.

"Don't be pretentious."

Although Afu couldn't feel the pain, he still squeaked cooperatively.

"The person sitting on this throne is a 'leader' who was nearing her end. She has a deep friendship with her master..."

Afu's voice was very soft: "We have no good way to fight against chaos. The more we use extraordinary abilities, the more chaos will come. The only people in our home who can fight against it are those who share the 'gospel box power' Those leaders.”

leader--

In ancient civilizations, it was the Lord of Fire, who is now the God's Throne!

"The power of the individual is small before such civilization-destroying catastrophes."

"Most leaders have nothing to do. They can only place their hope on their master. If there is a 'starship' that can truly sail on the zenith, and if weapons can be made that can annihilate 'chaos'... then the outcome may have a chance to change." .”

"Under this general premise."

"The master began to burn the power of the gospel box, forcefully pull fate, and create..."

Afu looked at the withered body on the throne and murmured: "The 'Lord of Love' burned all the remaining power of the gospel box fragments and gave the master the final enlightenment. This is what you see now, The flame-extinguished sword, the throne, the bones, and the fire are all just illusions, and no one can get close to the throne."

"The fire has been extinguished and the dream is broken. Anyone who wants to touch this extinguished fire will only fall into the mirror, exhaust their energy, and sink forever."
