Barrier of Light

With nothing to do, Gu Shen, as a land lion, walked around Guangming City several times.

This is a city of faith that is grander and more majestic than the Holy City of Nanzhou. There are shrines everywhere in the city, and adults and children are all believers.

The Church of Light advocates "lawfulness".

There were no fights, brawls, robberies, or disturbances in their urban area.

There was peace.

The visiting envoys, as well as the scattered extraordinary beings, were all politely invited by the church to the main city area that the temple was responsible for.

"There is no turmoil in Guangming City. It's true."

Gu Shen felt a little emotional in his heart.

This city gives people a good impression, even if he is an "enemy" of the Church of Light, he has to admit this.

"Many years ago, Guangming City was the 'place to live' that countless people dreamed of."

Chu Ling said: "During the Red War, many people from Beizhou wanted to settle here... Compared to the cold and war-torn border areas, this place is warmer and more peaceful."

"Indeed...it is said that Mr. Gu Changzhi once practiced here."

Gu Shen looked at the majestic streets, domed roofs, recessed statues, and the believers in white robes. Even he, the King of Hades, felt a ray of warmth emerging from his heart in the quiet afternoon.

He reached out and touched the third letter in his arms.

Before Mr. Gu Changzhi died, his last wish was to give three letters to the three people he cared about most in the world.

Now, only the God of Light is left.

Mr. Gu Changzhi specifically told himself to wait until he was strong before delivering the letter... Maybe he knew what kind of person his teacher was.

"Before I touched the Hell Fire, I thought... the God of Light was a person worthy of respect."

Gu Shen said slowly: "Even later, I also doubted whether it was because of the characteristics of fire that gave me such extreme 'opposition thoughts'. But later I witnessed many things with my own eyes, and I realized that the God of Light and the The world thinks differently, he is indeed not worthy of the name 'Light'."

Chu Ling asked: "Perhaps he has changed?"

Gu Shen smiled: "Because of 'fear of death', he can do anything... This statement makes sense."

Gu Shen returned to the small courtyard. Song Ci tied a hanging net in front of two old trees and lay down in the middle to take a nap.

"How's the trial of fire going?"

"Don't mention it."

Song Ci yawned, "I just can't figure out what kind of magic power the word 'fire' has that can attract so many extraordinary forces. I'm afraid you don't know how many missions have gone west, this one and that one, All the chaos and chaos were gathered together. I went out for a walk with the Holy Judge today and almost lost half of my skin."

The God of Light wants to select a "successor to the fire".

This matter is not as simple as sending a message.

Many people have already taken action.

The temple needs to confirm the list first, and then give out the process... Today is the first step of "confirming the list".

"If you can smelt fire, you will be superior to tens of thousands of people."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "No one has ever directly and publicly selected the 'Successor of Fire' like the God of Light. This kind of great fortune that is not free of charge, everyone wants to give it a try."

"The trial of fire, there are several steps in the primary selection..."

Song Ci crossed his fingers and said: "First, mental strength, then realm, and age. In order to fulfill the promise of 'no one will be rejected', everyone can sign up. [Deep Sea] will make preliminary calculations based on these data. After the preliminary selection, There is a public list.”

The successor of the fire does not necessarily have to be very powerful.

Some people are young and young, but they are incomparably compatible with the fire. This kind of chosen one can only be met but cannot be sought.

For example, Gu Shen, and then Gu Xiaoman.

These two people were chosen by Tinder when they were both at a low level.

It's just... the probability is too low.

Each Fire Seed has its own attributes. People who are favored by the Light Fire Seed will most likely have certain "characteristics" that are very similar to the Divine Throne. According to this condition, the Chosen Son is not in the City of Light. The probability is even slimmer. The vast majority of extraordinary people who come to sign up are actually just here to "join in the fun."

It doesn’t matter if you can’t choose, but what if you do?

"What about after the primaries?"

"Let me think about what happened after the primary election... Now that I think about it, it is said that there is some kind of 'heart-washing pond'."

Song Ci rubbed his head, trying to recall the processes the Holy Inquisitor told him during the day, and slowly said: "They said that there is a sealed place in the temple, where people's hearts can be tested. Anyone who wants to try to smelt the 'Light Fire' An extraordinary person must not hide dirt in his heart...if he fails to pass the test of the heart-washing pool, he will be eliminated by default."

"Heart-washing Pool?"

Gu Shen intuitively told himself that this thing was probably used to target Pluto's lineage.

The light fire must be impossible to be obtained by people of Pluto's lineage.

If there are apostles of Pluto, or believers who have been defiled by Pluto, they will not be able to escape the test of this "heart-washing pool".

"What about next?"

"Further on, the extraordinary person who passes through the Heart Washing Pond can obtain a ray of 'Fire Dream'. At this point, the trip to Xizhou is considered worthwhile."

Song Ci smiled and said: "I think those big families should all come here for this 'Dream of Fire'. If you can pass the trial of 'Dream of Fire', you will finally step on the Red Lake and see the God's Throne in person."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you go to see the Red Lake today?"

"Yes!" Song Ci's eyebrows were beaming: "Today, the Holy Inquisitor took me in to see the Red Lake. It's so red that it's really beautiful."

"..." Gu Shen was silent.

It's indeed beautiful. This is Song Ci's evaluation of the Red Lake.

"No?" He rubbed his brows: "Besides that it looks good, don't you see anything else?"

"The water in Red Lake is weird."

Song Ci looked solemn.

He had seen this lake in his dreams many times. It was as clear as a mirror and contained infinite light.

This time, he saw it in person: "I think the 'last step' that the Holy Judge talked about lightly may be the most difficult... It is not easy to stand on the water of the Red Lake."

"oh?"

Gu Shen said in confusion: "But I heard that members of the temple can meditate in the Red Lake every year and absorb the 'blessing of light' in exchange for an improvement in their realm, a stable mood, and a peaceful spirit."

"Yes, those guys in the temple can indeed walk on the Red Lake."

Song Ci said sternly: "Even those Holy Judges can walk a few steps... It's very difficult to walk to the depths of the Red Lake. Today when I passed by the lake, I saw a very vague shadow, sitting on the side of the Red Lake. At the far end, there is mist behind him, and I don’t know how deep it is.”

"...Jia Wei."

Hearing this, Gu Shen reported the identity of the man, and said calmly: "This guy is the 'Guardian of the Red Lake' appointed by the God of Light. It is said that in recent years, he has been meditating every day and almost never leaves."

"That's probably it."

Song Ci had a headache and said, "Is this the legendary 'Jia Wei'? This guy gives me a feeling that I'm not easy to deal with. I can't beat him, can I?"

Gu Shen was silent for two seconds and asked, "Why do you think about such a thing? Do you want to fight Jia Wei?"

"That's not true."

Song Ci said seriously: "Because of this bullshit [apostle] status, I don't have to participate in the primary election. As long as I pass the trial of the Heart Washing Pool, I can get a wisp of the 'Fire Dream'... I thought I'd come here, so why not give it a try?" Let’s see if I can do something big.”

"So you really want to smelt fire?"

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

"You look down on me?" Song Ci puffed his beard and glared, and said angrily: "If Jia Wei stops in the middle of the lake on the day we step on the Red Lake, I will beat him severely. There is no reason, just to see him unhappy... This guy Did you do something to feel sorry for me?"

Such a good brother to me...

Gu Shen couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he still gave advice: "Jia Wei is wearing [Mingguang Armor], there is no need to fight with him. Besides, he won't stop you when the day comes."

Song Ci looked at Gu Shen suspiciously.

"Don't look at me like that. The titles this guy has piled on him now are more than your clothes. If he insists on stopping me in the middle of the lake, who can survive?"

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Since Guangming City is openly recruiting 'successors of the fire', they will not play such blocking tricks. Jia Wei standing in the middle of the Red Lake will only damage their own appearance."

"Why do I think you're a little weird?"

Song Ci rubbed his chin and said, "Are you also unhappy with Jia Wei?"

"……yes."

Gu Shen reluctantly responded.

Of course he would not tell Song Ci that the second thing he wanted to do when he came to Guangming City this time was to kill Jia Wei.

"In short, this is the process of the Fire Trial."

Song Ci was too lazy to think about it, so he said in a serious tone: "If I really get first place in this 'trial', will Xizhou refuse to admit it?"

"There is a high probability that it will."

Gu Shen thought seriously for a while and said: "They can accept the [Apostle] winning the championship, but they cannot accept a rebellious guy like you taking the first place... But your appearance should be an unplanned change."

Song Ci has been hiding from the Church of Light for several years.

Guangming City acquiesced that this guy would stay in Dongzhou for the rest of his life... and was even prepared not to take back the token.

"Yo ho."

Song Ci became interested and climbed down from the hanging net. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and said seriously: "Then if I kill all my opponents in front of tens of millions of people and Guangming City chooses to default... how can they lose face?" Aren’t you going to sweep all the floors?”

This guy's focus is really different.

Gu Shen's eyes were a little complicated.

He discovered that Song Ci was different from normal people.

Others have more or less desires in their hearts, and those who come to Guangming City in Xizhou all do it for the sake of fire.

If you really have the ability to reach the final destination, you will miss it.

Most people would feel angry and disappointed...but Song Ci didn't care at all! His focus turned out to be that the "Throne of Light" would be disgraced? !

This guy really doesn't care about fire!
