Bulwark of Light

Chapter 316 Ten Years
"The wishing technique is an illusory ritual... make a wish, then wait for 'karma' to take the price, and then wait for the wish to come true. During this process, the caster can do nothing but wait."

This sounds a lot like a scam.

How could such a thing happen in this world?
Make a wish and do nothing...just wait for it to come true.

It's like... offering sacrifices.

Gu Shen suddenly thought of this word, and then his pupils shrank slightly, realizing that the so-called wish technique was essentially a sacrifice.The "protectors" passed down by Li's generations are the "sacrifices" that have been constantly changing for hundreds of years. They use their lives and energy to feed that illusory wish.

If the wishing technique is fake, then these guardians...are all fools.

If the wish spell is real, then they are all crazy!
Today's "Shenci Mountain" is full of dark flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. These are all broken "orders", and it is precisely these "flowers of broken order" that prove to Gu Shen the existence of the wishing technique and Li's crazy.

Perhaps many years ago, the "extraordinary source quality" of the temple mountain had not expanded to this extent. At that time, "special means" could have been used to eliminate and deal with it.

But because of the desire to raise the "divine fetus"... this sacred mountain was kept in captivity by Li.

At the same time, there are these infinitely growing "black spots" that are kept in captivity.

The greater the desire, the easier it is to provoke backlash.

For 600 years, the Li family has made too many "sacrifices" for the "big ambition" of the ancestors.

And now.

This shrine mountain is already a huge crisis that cannot be solved!

The protectors of later generations also had to put themselves on the wishing technique to maintain the balance with difficulty.

"What will happen if... the wish technique can no longer suppress the Temple Mountain?"

Cold sweat dripped from Gu Shen's back.

"Shenci Mountain is a wonderland, an illusory yet real realm." Li Qingci calmly said: "These flowers grow too much, and they will overflow the wonderland and come to the real Nagano. Starting from the northern border, Nagano will collapse, it will be corroded."

"You seem nervous?"

She lowered her eyebrows, smiled, and said comfortingly: "Relax, the existence of Shenci Mountain is not a big secret to the top five families. There are many similar places in Wuzhou...Mr. Gu Changzhi has been here before , before he just returned to Nagano, before he fell asleep."

"Mr. Gu Changzhi... didn't solve these flowers?"

"No."

Li Qingci shook his head, "My father said that Mr. Gu Changzhi stood on the top of the shrine mountain for a day and a night, and then left... Before the god left, he plucked a flower and left a word."

"He hopes that Li's wishing technique will finally come true and a divine fetus will be hatched."

"If the wishing technique gets out of control in the end...he can only destroy the entire shrine mountain."

Rao heard this sentence after 20 years.

Gu Shen still felt the shock of these words... If the wishing technique goes out of control, destroy the entire shrine mountain?

He looked up at the countless pitch-black flowers, and this majestic giant mountain located between Sumeru and the darkness.

Just as Gu Shen couldn't imagine what kind of devastating blow would be caused by the overflow of the source of the shrine mountain...he also couldn't imagine the scene of one person knocking down this huge mountain and the collapse of order all over the mountain.

For Gu Changzhi, is this a disaster that is still under control?
Or to put it another way... He also believes that Li's "Prayer Technique" has the hope that it will become a reality.

"only……"

Li Qingci smiled wryly, and said, "Shortly after leaving Shenci Mountain, Lord Shenzuo fell into a long sleep. I used the wish technique to make a wish to see Godzuo again, but the 'sacrifice' that I could offer was not taken away. Since that day, the situation in Shenci Mountain has become serious, and no one knows what will happen to these flowers when they bloom outside the mountain."

Once there is a large-scale collapse of the Shenci Mountain, and at that time, Gu Changzhi has not yet come forward...

This is probably a real disaster.

The order of the Shrine Mountain collapsed, and in the end it is likely to evolve into a result: the Eastern Continent Federation began to ask for help from the power of the outer continents, and the remaining "God Thrones", if they are willing to accept the request, then they will send their [Apostles] to rush to the gods. Temple Hill.

For Gu Shen, who had just experienced a battle of apostles in the metropolitan area, he knew exactly what it meant... The two gods in Central Continent had always coveted Dong Continent and were always ready to move.

To ask them for help is to lure wolves into the house.

Compared with "the collapse of the shrine mountain", what they care more about must be "Gu Changzhi's kindling".

"I want to take a look... as you said just now, the wish spell reflects the guiding picture of 'I'."

Finally, Gu Shen took a deep breath and made a request.

"Praying is an indescribable power." Li Qingci was silent for a while, "It cannot be described, it cannot be explained, it can only be felt, it can only be understood. If you make a wish, you get a response and feel your own The 'sacrifice' was taken away...then it means that the wish is coming true, you just need to continue to believe in it."

"So the wish you made is..." Gu Shen frowned.

Li Qingci smiled, "I have lowered my requirements. If I can't meet with Lord God, then I want to meet with someone who has the ability to solve the crisis of 'Shencishan'. If possible, I hope that person can eat up the mountains and plains." flower."

Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression was slightly weird.

To know.

His "birth" was before Li Qingci made this wish.

As for the so-called cause and effect, it seems to be a bit reversed here... He was not born because of the wish of the "Sacred Shrine Mountain". This kind of power in the dark is more like traction.

Because Li Qingci made this wish, he came here.

But when you think about it carefully, the wishing technique is truly terrifying, and the truly unsolvable part is...even if Li Qingci doesn't explain this wish to Gu Shen, from the standpoint and decision-making point of view, Gu Shen will not allow these flowers to bloom outside the mountain.

Li Qingci's wish was more like an accidental arrangement in fate.

Gu Shen sighed softly, he stretched out his palm, a wisp of blazing fire lingered in his palm, and a pitch-black flower grew nearby.

Under the blazing "package".

He plucked the flower of the collapse of order.

The woman sitting withered, seeing this scene, was startled for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her pale face.

Gu Shen looked at the "Flower of Collapsed Order" that was constantly twisting and collapsing inwards in his palm, and asked softly, "What price did you pay for making this wish?"

On Li Qingci's face, there was no trace of sadness or haggardness.

She smiled happily: "Mr. Gu... I spent ten years of my life in exchange for this meeting."
