Bulwark of Light

Chapter 531 Frozen Snow
"Please."

The hallway was filled with flames.

The Legion Commander with his cloak blazingly made an inviting gesture.

Gu Shen slowly stepped into the giant gate.

The world behind this door is not as hot as imagined... Wisps of fire and wind wind around, extinguish, and burn into ashes.

Gu Shen raised his head, his vision gradually widened.

He stared at the scene in front of him in shock.

The world behind the door -

Like a vast expanse of "starry sky".

The realm of the gods spread out and was condensed to a very small area.

In this room, countless extraordinary source qualities, like meteors, revolved around the throne in the center of the pavilion, and the queen sitting on the throne was shrouded in bright silvery white light.

The world outside the door is ignited by the "melting furnace"——

But the place where the throne stands is filled with biting cold.

In the furnace, strong winds howled.

The woman sitting on the throne hung her head in silence, as if she was taking a nap.

The throne is not tall, it is as white as snow, and the queen's body is covered by countless extraordinary sources, hazy and invisible...

Gu Shen couldn't see the queen's appearance clearly.

But he probably understood the reason why the empress hadn't been seen by the world for the past two years.

The power of the "God's Domain" in front of him seems to be showing signs of getting out of control.

Gu Shen felt the fiery fire between his brows burning restlessly.

Yes, the blazing fire burned without hindrance.The battle golden hoop that was always clasped on his forehead was silently frozen by the queen's power after he stepped into the realm of the gods... Maybe it was because it was too far away from Nagano, or maybe it was because Bai Shu had just refined the fire seed Because of the reason, the power in the golden hoop did not manifest in the "Field of the Furnace".

Although it is a "melting furnace", the temperature here is frighteningly low.

The heat of the entire central city was born from the "melting pot field".

"These sources... are drawing power from the throne."

Chu Ling looked solemn, and she saw the scene at this moment through Gu Shen's eyes.

This is a sight that cannot be explained by common sense.

In fact, Central City has always been the city of Eternal Winter born of ice and snow, but when this furnace was burning, all the severe cold was brought into the throne... All the severe cold and frost were all taken by one person. borne by.

"This is……"

"Equivalent exchange."

……

……

"His Majesty……"

After contemplating for a long time, Gu Shen finally spoke.

"I came to Beizhou to deliver a letter for Gu Changzhi."

He took out the folded letter from his bosom, and promised Mr. Gu Changzhi in Qingzhong Cemetery that he would send out three letters, and this was the second.

A familiar name awakened the frost and snow in the furnace.

The woman slowly raised her head.

Even through the countless snow shavings, she could still feel her "tiredness". She actually fell asleep. Gu Shen was a little worried. Could it be that the queen was always in this state during the days when she was hiding from the world?

The woman on the throne looked at the young man in front of her in a daze. To be precise, it was the letter in the young man's hand.

Her eyes became soft and warm...

She held out her hand.

"Crash-"

The letter trembled slightly, and flew out of Gu Shen's hand, making a crisp shaking sound.

Gu Shen was standing at the entrance and didn't move on. He knew... the closer to the center of the furnace, the lower the temperature. The Queen's position may have gathered the "severe cold" of the entire North Continent.

The letter was flying slowly——

Frost flakes touch the letter paper without sticking.

Frozen snow fell on the envelope, but it did not melt.

It fell into the woman's hand.

In the ice and snow, there was a light laughter.

Queen Beizhou looked down at the letter in her hand, and murmured softly: "This letter... I've been waiting for a long time..."

How long is it?
Is it the 20 years that Gu Changzhi has been sleeping?

Or was it some date already agreed upon 20 years ago?

Gu Shen didn't know what the two of them had experienced. He only knew that Mr. Gu Changzhi protected the young queen and witnessed her becoming the hero of Beizhou and achieving a lot of dominance...but after that, he went back I also missed seeing each other.

One person was buried in the ground of Qingzuka Mausoleum.

The other person was locked in the furnace on the second floor of the castle.

Although the fire is different, the background is different, the philosophy of struggle, and the beliefs implemented are also different... But Gu Shen feels that Her Majesty the Empress and Gu Changzhi are actually very similar people.

The moment he stepped into the "Melting Pot God's Domain", Gu Shen felt...the empress's lightness and magnanimity were exactly the same as Gu Changzhi's. The reason why it was so cold here was because she dedicated enough heat to burn the entire North Continent.

Next.

Something happened that Gu Shen couldn't understand.

The queen raised her hand lightly, she did not look at the letter, but just revoked the protection of the divine power on the weak letter paper... Under the frosty cold of the furnace, the letter paper was instantly frozen into ice, and then blown by the strong wind , was torn to pieces, just turned into crumbs.

With the power of God.

It is not difficult to reassemble the letter paper.

But... why did she do this?Even if you don't want to read the letter in front of your face, you shouldn't just tear it up, right?
Gu Shen was stunned.

"Thank you for coming to deliver the letter, but this is the letter... the best destination."

The queen looked at Gu Shen with a smile, she just said this meaningfully, and didn't say anything else.

The two of them stared at each other not far away...

Gu Shen felt that his soul was shaking.

His gaze was attracted by the Queen's eyes, and when he really looked over, the surrounding scenes were blurred, the wind and snow, the throne, and the woman all disappeared, and the eyes that inspired his spirit seemed to have turned into a bright moon.

This is the first time... His spiritual power has completely "defeated".

If the queen released the dream just now.

Then he has fallen.

With his current strength, it is absolutely impossible to complete the dream interpretation... After regaining his senses, Gu Shen quickly took a deep breath, circulated the breath of spring, and calmed his mind. He is also the lucky one who has experienced "God's presence" and "God's battle".

Thinking back carefully, when he faced Dionysus...he had never felt such a strong mental oppression.

It's not that Dionysus is weak.

But the Queen is too powerful.

Although the Queen of Beizhou is locked in the attic, her strength is very likely to be among the top three existences among the top seven gods!

That glance just now... Did she see through her own soul?
Gu Shen looked a little pale.

The existence of the Guwenhui and Chu Ling, the golden spike flowers outside the Beizhou border, the sealed ruler of truth, and the Pluto fire seed buried in the Qingzhong cemetery are all big secrets that cannot be revealed.

The queen never read Gu Changzhi's letter at all... Gu Shen had no idea about the attitude and position of this majesty towards him.

It would be bad if these secrets were seen through by the queen.

The current peace of Dongzhou is based on the premise of the existence of the second god "Pluto"... If someone else in the highest seat knows that Pluto has died and left behind only a residual fire, then there is no need Doubt will lead to a huge dispute.

One extra spark is enough to change the pattern of five continents.

If the empress knew that he was the candidate for Pluto's tinder...

Are you still so "polite" to yourself?

Gu Shen touched his pendant subconsciously.

Fortunately, [Goddess of Destiny's Asylum] did not report anything strange... If this thing is still useful in the furnace of God, then at least it proves that I am not in danger now.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

The habit he has developed by facing life and death several times keeps him vigilant at all times and keeps his cards...but when he really faces the seat of God, these cards are not strong enough. He told himself that there is no need to be nervous. That's right, in front of the Queen of Beizhou, everything is something that can be seen through at a glance.

There is a huge gap in strength, no matter how tight it is, it is useless.

The biggest hole card in my body should be the "ruler", but even if I propose a deal, the devil inside probably won't dare to accept it, right?

Judging from the current strength of the devil hiding in the darkness, even if it can escape, there is a high probability that it will end up being directly beaten to death by the empress.

"No need to be nervous."

really.

The Queen of Beizhou could tell at a glance that Gu Shen's current state was too tense.

In fact, everyone who saw the throne in person was like this. Some were too excited to finally meet the rumored figure of faith, while others were afraid that their secrets would be seen through and exposed.

And the reason why this young man is so nervous is because he...has too many secrets.

She smiled and said, "Actually, before you came to Beizhou...I was paying attention to you."

The bitter cold wind blew away the mist between the two of them.

Gu Shen heard the Queen's soft voice, and finally let go of the big rock hanging in his heart... The voice was very gentle, and it made people feel inexplicably relaxed, it was the soothing feeling he felt in the hall on the first floor.

In the Furnace God's Domain, she absorbs the negativity and negative suffering, and what she releases is a relaxing spiritual power.

Focus on yourself before Beizhou?
Gu Shen smiled wryly, after looking at each other just now, he has no idea, how much of his secret has been seen by the queen?
The identity of Pluto... should not have been seen.

But other things are uncertain, like the existence of the ruler of truth, it is very likely to be seen through, but the empress doesn't care.

With her status and friendship with Gu Changzhi, she will not embarrass Gu Shen because of the existence of a certain taboo sealed item.

The queen said softly: "This time you came to Beizhou, but I didn't find any news about Mr. Shu and the others. It's really a pity... Thanks to you, Gubao was able to hold on. On behalf of Bianbian, I would like to express my respect to you."

Gu Shen saluted, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. This is what I should do, not only for Beizhou, but also for everyone's home."

After a slight pause.

Gu Shen looked at the fragments of the envelope falling in front of him, and felt regretful from the bottom of his heart. The extraordinary source quality power wandering in the Furnace God's Domain was quite domineering, engulfing the heat around the throne, and a mere piece of letter paper couldn't bear this kind of burden at all. Raging supernatural power.

Freeze, shatter, and be swallowed by countless turbulent currents.

At this level, my blazing fire must not be able to splice these torn pieces of paper... I just don't know if a person at the level of a god has such great power.

But...Since Her Majesty the Empress chose to tear up the letter, she probably wouldn't restore it at all.

He sighed softly, looked at the crumbs falling from his palm, and murmured: "Your Majesty, the biggest task of my trip to Beizhou... is actually to deliver the letter."

Recall the words of Mr. Gu Changzhi back then.

Gu Shen has mixed feelings.

In the cemetery, Mr. Gu Changzhi swore to himself, telling himself that after sending this letter, he would immediately get help from the whole Beizhou...

But now, Her Majesty the Empress tore up the letter without even reading a single word!
The woman sitting in the ice and snow smiled.

"The reason for tearing up the letter...you will know later."

The queen said softly: "I guess he said that after this letter is delivered, you will immediately receive the help of the entire Beizhou, and you will be regarded as a distinguished guest, at least on par with the Dagong."

Gu Shen was dumbfounded.

He stood there, unable to utter a single word... because the words Her Majesty said at this moment were almost exactly the same as the parting words at Mr. Gu Changzhi's cemetery, word for word.

"Since I know the purpose of this letter, is it so important to read it or not?"

The queen asked: "The same question...ask yourself, do you really need the so-called 'grand duke treatment' when you come to Beizhou to deliver letters this time?"

Gu Shen was silent for a while, feeling overwhelmed by the queen's extraordinary power.

Some things really cannot be described as "coincidence". Gu Shen is more willing to believe that this is a "miracle" that can be replicated if he can say the words of parting from Gu Changzhi's cemetery verbatim.

He heard that Her Majesty the Queen herself created a method of foresight comparable to "divination".

Perhaps, this is the power of the method of foresight?
"I came to deliver the letter just to fulfill Mr. Gu Changzhi's last wish." Gu Shen thought for a while and said slowly: "I thought...you would be very sad. This letter is very important to you."

After saying this, Gu Shen shook his head himself.

Grief is never for showing to others.

And that letter...the queen tore it up, there must be her reasons.

In the end, I am just a "messenger", I don't know where the letter starts or ends, I just need to know... If the letter is delivered smoothly, then that's good.

There are thousands of words written in it, and what is written in it is not that important to me.

As for Beizhou's "grand duke treatment", it is even less important.

If it wasn't for the teacher and senior sister...he wouldn't have stayed too long in Beizhou.

"Actually... Even without this letter, I still want to meet you."

The queen stared at Gu Shen, her gaze was a little erratic, and she said something unexpected to Gu Shen: "You are a person who has a 'sincere heart' but doesn't know it."

Sincere heart?

Hearing these four words, Gu Shen couldn't help laughing.

He is the chosen one of the Ruler of Truth. He killed two Transcendents when he awakened for the first time, and he has killed many people on the road to promotion since then. He directly bloodbathed the entire snow-capped mountain in the tundra no man's land. In the eyes of outsiders, he is dazzling "S-rank", but in fact, he can't tolerate a single grain of sand in his eyes, and once he has the intention to kill, he will not leave anyone alive.

Gu Shen always believed that this was the reason why he was favored by the "Pluto Tinder".

Gu Changzhi and the Queen chose to burn themselves for the sake of their people's homeland. This behavior can be described as "sincere heart".

Gu Shen was in awe and respect for their actions.

But ask yourself, it is difficult for him to do such a thing...

Does something like a sincere heart have any connection with the gloomy Pluto?
This is the quality of standing on the two opposite sides of light and dark.

Sure enough... the queen's eyes can see through most of the fog in this world, but she can also see people and things that involve "fire seeds".

Gu Shen raised his head, stared at the throne, and echoed with a smile: "Your Majesty has good eyes."

He didn't say much.

After all, this is just a compliment, he will be happy to accept it, and then put it aside.

The queen on the throne also smiled.

She looked at Gu Shen, there was a sudden blizzard between the two of them, and there was a blur.

Sure enough... I don't know it.
