Bulwark of Light

Chapter 520 Deal with the Devil
It is a pity that I did not witness this storm fighting with my own eyes.

150 years ago, Emperor Iron Qiong paid a huge price to repel a disaster of this scale.

Now, put this chaos to rest.

The Beizhou people only spent one day and one night.

Gu Shen saw the final ending. There was peace near the huge wall, and everyone saw the clear sky. In the vision of "Pluto", this world is not so pure, because there are still wisps of wind floating in the remnants of the storm. Wisps of pure white souls, some of these extraordinary beings sacrificed in the war were hit by the huge energy shock generated when the storm hit the huge wall, and some were swept up by the wind pressure...

Gu Shen did not use the "Pure Land" to accommodate the souls of these people, just like the "explorers" he met in Xueshan... He respected every hero who died in battle because of his homeland.

The memorial service was held in the cemetery at Kborg Fortress.

Unlike Kiyotsuka.

Gubao did not have time to conduct a complete and solemn funeral for the "dead". This is a fortress, and everyone here is a warrior. To stay here is to dedicate everything to this piece of terracotta. Tonight, every night in this way.

……

……

After participating in the memorial ceremony, Gubao regained its true cleanliness and tranquility.

Gu Shen was resting in the room alone.

He took out the "black silver" in Hades' mansion.

After returning to the fortress, I was full of trifles and had no time to deal with the "ruler of truth".

Gu Shen immersed his mental power into the ruler, and after a while, the world in front of him "distorted". After a few seconds, he came to the world inside the ruler with mottled lights and shadows again, and saw the devil living here.

"The spiritual connection is very smooth..."

"This shows that it has been waiting for me. Or, it has no right to refuse my 'coming'."

Gu Shen collected himself and looked towards the darkness not far away.

The "devil" sitting on the throne sat with his elbows propped up, with a leisurely demeanor: "At this juncture, you don't seem to need a deal... unless you want to borrow some power from me to subdue the 'soul' outside the giant wall?"

Gu Shen smiled.

Sure enough, this guy can spy on his "what he sees and hears" through the ruler.

It's just that from the sentence just now, it can be judged what the devil can spy on.

It should be able to see and hear my own experiences and conversations during the day.

But the devil has no way of spying on the true thoughts in his heart.

As for the "soul" outside the giant wall, he has no plans to take it for his own use.

"If I need it, can you borrow it?" Gu Shen asked with a smile.

He continued to speak directly according to the devil's words.

Gu Shen didn't want to reveal his thoughts, this time he entered the spiritual world of the ruler of truth, he wanted to find out the opponent's "hole card".

"Of course...it's just a transaction." The devil seemed to raise his eyebrows, very interested: "Your pure land should not have expanded, and you need souls right now... Those dead outside the giant wall are all high-quality Soul, if you don't do anything today, you won't know when you will have to wait next time."

indeed.

From the perspective of "Pluto", this is indeed the best time to collect the dead souls of the Pure Land.

These Beizhou fighters are strong enough in spirit and powerful enough in combat.

In Dongzhou... there will never be such a large-scale "war" at all, and there is no possibility of "collecting dead souls".

"Then what price do I have to pay for this transaction?"

Gu Shen pretended to be very interested and opened his mouth.

The conversation just now made him further sure that this devil does not understand his own spiritual world, because Tie Wu is the only person in the "Pure Land" today.

There are still many things that Gu Shen doesn't understand about "transactions".

During the storm in the [Old World], he probably guessed the ultimate intention of the devil's deal with him.

Through the "ruler of truth", erode yourself.

Once he "lost mental control", then this body will be taken over by the other party.

According to this line of thinking, the devil will advance towards the "ultimate goal" in every transaction.

However, this time the devil's answer was beyond Gu Shen's expectation.

The black shadow on the throne thought for a second, then smiled and said, "I want...to draw half of the souls."

He held out a finger and shook it slowly.

Draw half of the soul?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

There should be no problem with the original speculation, but the devil is obviously more cunning than I imagined. The devil within the ruler of truth may become stronger because of "absorbing the spirit of the dead"?
Weakening the opponent and strengthening oneself are the ways to the "ultimate goal".

The scene was silent for four or five seconds.

The devil resentfully said: "My surname is Gu, this is already a very sincere price... You don't need to pay anything, you can get half of your soul for nothing, why are you still hesitating?"

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 lightly.

It stretched out a palm, stroked its abdomen, and said softly: "What are these weak souls to me? It's just that I haven't eaten for too long...so I really miss the 'human soul'." It’s good, this transaction should be regarded as our first attempt to build a relationship of trust between us.”

Gu Shen has a deep understanding of this guy's strength.

The power overflowing from the ruler of truth cannot be measured by "magnitude".

Gu Shen also doesn't know what level he can reach after receiving the power given by the devil... It's just that the "black shadow" who is the source of power is already so powerful, does he still need to devour souls to strengthen himself?
The answer to this question is unknown.

"Old rules, if you nod, the transaction will begin."

The devil said helplessly: "If you are worried... just like last time, I will lend you my power, and you can collect the soul yourself, but I will automatically take half of it as a price."

"I don't accept this price, you want too much." Gu Shen looked directly at the man on the throne and said seriously.

This time.

The devil was not angry,
It laughed softly: "It's time to bargain again... Gu Shen, you have to be clear, we are making a deal, everything is measured by a scale, if you want to get it, you have to pay it, the price is not too much. "

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

"All right……"

Gu Shen spoke regretfully.

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, and waited for Gu Shen's follow-up with great anticipation.

"The opinions are not unified, and the transaction can only be declared a failure."

This sentence made the devil startled, his calm and indifferent face showed anger again.

Is this playing yourself? !

"Sorry... I am here this time, just to complete the 'promise' of the last transaction. I will give you a chance to meet me again and trade again. I fulfilled my promise, but you didn't grasp it This opportunity." Gu Shen said calmly: "A transaction like this requires both parties to nod to complete it."

"Gu Shen..."

The devil's tone was gloomy: "Do you think it's fun to do this?"

"Yes, it's very interesting." Gu Shen responded without pausing: "When you were spying on my life in the world of rulers, you probably thought so too... Overlooking a person, waiting for him to come to your door, and then slowly controlling him, If I agree to your deal, then you must find it... very interesting."

This time, it was the devil who was silent.

After a long time.

He spoke again: "We are discussing the issue of 'fairness'. If you feel that the conditions are not good, we can talk again."

Knew it……

The so-called "Libra of Destiny" is all false, Gu Shen couldn't help but shook his head, making a deal with the devil, everything is flexible, if he is determined to squeeze it to the end, this guy may act as free labor again .

However, there is no need for acting anymore.

Gu Shen said lightly: "There's nothing to talk about, and I don't really mean to make a deal when I come to see you this time..."

The devil was stunned: "You came to me to catch up on the past?"

Is this something that humans can do? !
It flew into a rage, slapped the throne and was about to stand up.

The invisible light and shadow seemed to change 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, and the devil cannot cause substantial harm to himself. Only through "trading", a spiritual interaction with soul effects, can the subsequent erosion be completed.

Seeing through this, Gu Shen's voice became even 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. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

The devil said coldly: "Don't forget, outside the fortress, I saved your life..."

"Is it?"

Gu Shen smiled, he would not be bewitched by such tricks: "It was just a deal, fair and just, we nodded to each other, if we really want to say who saved who, in fact, I saved myself, by the way You, 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 troublesome.

"Okay... since you're so eager for a 'deal'."

Gu Shen said with a blank face: "Then let's have another deal... I will let you know who is the one who is really needed. The content of this 'deal' is very simple. You apologize to me, I Give you selective restoration of light, if you bow your head now, there is still time for everything."

Apologize? !
The devil roared in a low voice: "What are you kidding?"

Unfortunately... Gu Shen was not joking.

The moment the shadow on the throne spoke, his figure faded out and disappeared in the spiritual world of the Ruler of Truth.

Gu Shen knew that this guy was stubborn and would not agree to this deal.

The first thing he did when he returned to the real world was to take out the black silver and directly dip 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 icy cold.

In fact... this is something that one 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 and could not pose a threat to him, what if one day this devil really got free? ?
After the blockade.

The "sense of being watched" in Gu Shen's heart gradually dissipated.

He felt much lighter.
