Bulwark of Light

2022-09-26

It’s a pity that I didn’t see this storm fighting with my own eyes.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Iron Vault Emperor paid a huge price to repel a disaster of this magnitude.

And now, put an end to this chaos.

Beizhou people only spent one day and one night.

Gu Shen saw the final result. There was peace near the giant wall. In the eyes of everyone, there was a clear and unsullied sky. In the vision of “Pluto”, this world is not so pure, because the remnants of the storm , there are also strands of pure white Soul Spirit. These transcenders sacrificed in the war, some were hit by the huge energy shock generated when the storm hit the giant wall, and some were swept up by the wind…

Gu Shen did not use the “Pure Land” to contain the souls of these people, like the “explorers” that Snow Mountain met… He respects every hero who died fighting for his homeland.

The mourning ceremony is held in the cemetery of the Kubao Fortress.

Not the same as Kiyotsuka.

Gubao does not have time for a complete and solemn funeral for the “dead”. This is a fortress, and everyone here is a warrior. To be stationed here is to dedicate everything to this piece of land. Chitu, this is the case tonight, this is the case every night.

……

……

After participating in the memorial ceremony, Kubao has recovered its real purity and tranquility.

Gu Shen was resting in his room alone.

He took out the “black silver” in the Hades mansion.

After returning to the fortress, I was full of trivial matters and had no time to deal with “Ruler of Truth”.

Gu Shen immersed his spirit strength into the ruler. After a while, the world in front of him was “distorted”. A few seconds later, he came to the world in the ruler with mottled lights and shadows. This devil.

“The spiritual link is very smooth…”

“It means that it has always been waiting for me. Or, it has no right to refuse my ‘coming’.”

p>

Gu Shen calmed down and looked at the darkness not far away.

The “devil” sitting on the throne, sitting on his elbows, with a leisurely manner: “At this juncture, you don’t seem to need a deal… unless you want to borrow some strength from me to conquer the giant wall. ‘Soul Spirit’ outside?”

Gu Shen laughed.

This guy really can use a ruler to see what he “sees and hears”.

Just from the sentence just now, you can tell what the devil can spy on.

My own daytime experiences, conversations, it should be able to see and hear.

However, the devil has no way to spy on his true thoughts.

For the “Soul Spirit” outside the giant wall, he has no plans to use it for himself.

“Can you borrow it if I need it?” Gu Shen said with a smile.

He went on straight to the devil’s words.

Gu Shen didn’t want to reveal his thoughts. This time he entered the spiritual world of Ruler of Truth to find out the opponent’s “hole card”.

“Of course… but it has to be considered a deal.” The devil seemed to raise his eyebrows, very interested: “Your pure land should not be expanded, you need souls at this moment… those outside the giant wall. The deceased are all high-quality Soul Spirit, if you don’t do it today, you don’t know when you will wait next time.”

Indeed.

From the perspective of “Pluto”, this is indeed the best time to collect the ghosts of the Pure Land.

These warriors from Northern Continent are strong enough in spirit and strong enough in battle strength.

In Eastern Continent…simply there will be no such large-scale “war”, and there is no probability of “collecting dead souls”.

“So what will I pay for this transaction?”

Gu Shen pretended to be interested.

The conversation just now made him further confirm that this devil does not understand his spiritual world, because there is only Tiewu in the “Pure Land” today.

There is still a lot that Gu Shen doesn’t know about “transaction”.

In the storm of [Old World], he probably guessed the ultimate intention of this devil’s deal with himself.

Erosion yourself through the “Ruler of Truth”.

Once you are “spiritually out of control”, then this body will be taken over by the other party.

According to this line of thinking, every transaction, the devil will advance toward the “ultimate goal”.

However, this time the devil’s answer was beyond Gu Shen’s expectations.

The shadow on the throne thought for a second, then smiled and said, “I want to… draw half of the Soul Spirit.”

He stretched out a finger and slowly shake.

Drawing half of Soul Spirit?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

There should be no problem with the original speculation, but this devil is obviously more cunning than he imagined. This devil in Ruler of Truth may become stronger by “absorbing the spirit of the dead”?

Weakening opponents and strengthening oneself are all paths to the “ultimate goal”.

The scene was silent for four or five seconds.

The devil said bitterly: “Gu, this is a very sincere price… You don’t need to pay anything, you can get half of your soul for nothing, what are you still hesitating about?”

p>

It stared at Gu Shen and continued: “Are you afraid that I will become stronger?”

Seeing Gu Shen’s silence, the shadow on the throne smiled softly.

It stretched out a palm, stroked its belly, and said lightly: “What are these weak Soul Spirits to me? It’s just that I haven’t eaten in a long time…so it’s too I miss the taste of the ‘human soul’, and this transaction should be regarded as the first attempt to establish a trust relationship between us.”

Gu Shen deeply understands the strength of this guy.

The power of Ruler of Truth’s internal spillage cannot be measured by “magnitude”.

Gu Shen also doesn’t know what level he can reach after receiving the power bestowed by the devil… It’s just that the “black shadow” as the source of power is already so powerful Need to devour Soul Spirit to strengthen yourself?

The answer to this question is unknown.

“Old rules, you nodded, the transaction will start.”

The devil said helplessly: “If you don’t worry… just like last time, I lent my power to You, go and collect Soul Spirit yourself, but I will automatically take half as the price.”

“I don’t accept this price, you want too much.” Gu Shen stared directly at the throne. man, said seriously.

this time.

The devil is not angry,

It said softly with a smile: “It’s time to bargain again… Gu Shen, you have to be clear, we are making a deal, and everything has a scale. To measure, if you want to get it, you have to pay, and this price is not too much.”

After all, it is the devil, and making a deal with the devil, if the other party does not take a penny, then it is the most terrifying thing. .

“Okay…”

Gu Shen regretfully opened his mouth.

The devil sitting on the throne, his eyes lit up slightly, he couldn’t help rubbing his hands, ready to exert his power at any time, waiting for Gu Shen’s follow-up with anticipation.

“Without consensus, the deal can only be declared a failure.”

These words made the devil startled, his calm and indifferent face, showing anger again.

Are you kidding yourself? !

“Sorry…I’m here this time, just to fulfill the ‘promise’ of the last deal, I’ll give you a chance to meet me again, and a chance to deal again, I’ve fulfilled my promise , but you didn’t seize this opportunity.” Gu Shen said calmly: “A transaction like this always requires both parties to be nodded together to complete it.”

“Gu Shen…”

The devil’s tone was gloomy: “Do you think it’s interesting to do this?”

“Yes, it’s interesting.” Gu Shen responded without pause: “You are watching my life in the ruler world. I should have thought so too… Overlooking a person, waiting for him to come to the door, and then slowly taking control of him, if I agree to your deal, then you will definitely find it… very interesting.”

this time, the devil is silent.

After a long time.

He spoke again: “We are discussing the issue of ‘fairness’. If you think the conditions are not good, we can talk again.”

Sure enough…

The so-called “Libra of Destiny” is all false. Gu Shen can’t help but look at the head and make deals with the devil. Everything is flexible. If he is ruthless and wants to squeeze to the end, this guy may be able to do it again. Act as one-time free labor.

It’s just that there is no need for acting anymore.

Gu Shen indifferently said: “There’s nothing to talk about, I don’t really want to make a deal when I come to see you this time…”

The devil dumbfounded: “You come to me to reminisce ?”

Is this something a human can do? !

It was furious, and slapped the throne before standing up.

The invisible light and shadow seem to have changed because of this action.

The devil controlled his anger “in time”, he stood up and looked down at Gu Shen coldly.

This action caught Gu Shen’s attention.

It seems… this spiritual world is not stable, the devil cannot cause substantial damage to himself, and the subsequent erosion can only be completed by “trading” this spiritual interaction with the effect of the soul.

Seeing through this, Gu Shen’s voice became calmer.

“Perhaps you should pay attention to your own emotional management.” Gu Shen said indifferently: “Because of me, you have the opportunity to observe everything in the real world and treat your benefactor, is this your attitude? ?”

The devil said coldly: “Don’t forget, I saved your life outside the fortress…”

“Really?”

Gu Shen laughed, he wouldn’t be tempted by this trick: “It’s just a deal, fair and just, we nodded each other, if we really want to say who saved who, it’s actually me who saved myself, by the way. I am still your benefactor.”

For the first time in his life, the devil was at a loss for words.

The last guy it met was far less tricky.

“Okay…since you’re so eager for a ‘deal’.”

Gu Shen said with a blank face: “Then let’s do another deal…I will This ‘deal’ is simple enough to let you know who’s really needed. You apologize to me, I’ll give you a selective restoration of the light, and if you bow your head now, it’s too late.”

Apologize? !

The devil roared in a low voice: “What are you kidding?”

Unfortunately… Gu Shen wasn’t kidding.

Immediately the shadow on the throne opened, his silhouette faded out and disappeared in the spiritual world of Ruler of Truth.

Gu Shen knows that this guy is tough and won’t agree to this deal.

The first thing he did when he returned to the real world was to take out the black and silver and directly immerse the Ruler of Truth into the highest-quality “strong logic material”.

Gu Shen stared at the snow-white ruler, which became pitch black in the “black silver”.

His eyes were cold.

In fact… this is one thing that is destined to do after knowing the existence of the “devil”.

Gu Shen couldn’t accept it. His every move, every word and deed was watched by this guy. Although it was still in the ruler, it couldn’t pose a threat to him, but in case there was a day in the future. , which the devil was freed?

After blocking.

The “sense of being watched” in Gu Shen’s heart gradually dissipated.

He felt much more relaxed.
