Bulwark of Light

Chapter 838 If You Choose to Burn
"Mr. Tianshui wants to kill Sky God..."

"Sounds ridiculous?"

"Yes, it's ridiculous."

"But the Sky God Seat was cultivated by Mr. Tianshui himself—is it ridiculous to think about it this way?"

After Red Dragon finished speaking, before Gu Shen could respond, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Well, I admit, it's still ridiculous."

The gap between mortals and gods cannot be bridged by quantity.

It's hard to kill a god.

There is a common cognition among extraordinary people from all continents: only gods can kill gods!

Therefore, there will be basically no outsiders to intervene in the disputes between the [Apostles], because once the fight gets to the end, the two sides will take out tokens and start the "God's presence", that is a battle between God and God!
Gu Shen took a deep breath, "Assuming what you said is true... how does Tian Shui plan to kill?"

"I do not know."

Red Dragon shook his head, and he said frankly: "The teacher's layout is not something I can see through. I am just a pawn, success does not need to be mine, I have been ready to 'dedicate everything' since 20 years ago... But I Know that in this layout, there are two crucial key figures!"

"Gu Xiaoman?"

Gu Shen squinted his eyes, and he immediately thought of the [cloud mirror target] wanted by the Tower of Origin.

"……good."

The red dragon smiled and said: "The little girl who was taken away by you is indeed the most important thing, but in the original plan, she should be in my hands, not like it is now."

The Tower of Origin is going south this time to find the "Lord of Wine"!
No matter how predictable Tian Shui is, he never expected that Gu Shen would have a hand in this incident!
"Sure enough...you have already locked her in."

Gu Shen no longer needed the words of the red dragon as evidence for the wine lord's plan.

He has figured out the plans related to the Tower of Origin.

"So, I took the risk to meet you alone this time to show my identity... for this reason." Honglong said seriously: "Gu Xiaoman cannot be taken away by Dongzhou. Once you take her away from Sangzhou Cave, God Zhan It will explode. The sky will not allow Dongzhou to intervene in the 'fire' thing again and again, believe me, this little girl is the fuse of the war between the two continents."

"..."

Gu Shen was sincerely silent.

It is indeed difficult for him to refute what the red dragon said at the moment.

"Now Dongzhou needs to 'rest and recuperate', and the new God of War Zuo Baishu also needs time to practice and advance."

The red dragon was not slow, and explained the reason slowly: "The current situation is that even if Bai Shu and the queen from Beizhou join forces to fight against the current Central Continent... it is still not enough. The war of gods broke out, and both Guangming City and Holy City will participate in the battle , this kind of result is unbearable for you now... Take ten thousand steps back, even if you succeed in taking 'Gu Xiaoman' away, what will you gain?"

"The fire of wine has always been at the top of the source tower."

The red dragon asked: "Yes, she is the 'lord of wine' appointed by the fire seed, but if she can't get the fire seed, how can she become the 'God Throne'? No matter how good her practice is in the future, she will only be a title...she One person can't control the situation of the two continents, and can't change anything, only by letting her come to the Tower of Origin and let her grow up in Central Continent, can she become the real 'Lord of Wine'!"

Red Dragon was right.

Gu Shen knows this feeling best——

Because he himself is the man of destiny chosen by "Underworld Fire".

Bringing Gu Xiaoman to Dongzhou, she will get the care of the five great masters, Hua Zhi's heart and soul, and all the resources of Dongzhou will open the door to her, but what's the point?
There is no "fire of wine" in Dongzhou... Her upper limit is just her title.

"People change."

Gu Shen said softly: "Bring her to the Tower of Origin, she may not be the 'Gu Xiaoman' I know."

When saying these words, Gu Shen was a little dazed.

He thought of the little girl who stubbornly stood up in the garbage dump in E0 area.

He has a hunch...

If you agree to the red dragon at this moment, when we meet again, Gu Xiaoman will be very different from his original diligent and innocent appearance.

"It's hard to believe, this is what [Key] would say."

Red Dragon looked at Gu Shen rather disappointed.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"If she wants to become the 'Lord of Wine', she can't be the Gu Xiaoman you know now—"

Red Dragon raised his voice, and said coldly: "If you want to kill 'Sky', how can you rely on a young girl with an immature mind?!"

"A 'Lord of Wine' is far from enough! Even with the Queen, Dou Zhan... may not be able to kill God successfully!"

"This road is bound to involve a lot of sacrifices... It's just that people like me are prepared to sacrifice their lives. Gu Xiaoman is the lucky one among the mountains of corpses and blood, because what she has to pay is not so much." many."

Gu Shen knew that before such a big plan, he should not hesitate.

But the first moment he saw that little girl...he felt that this was a special person who had a different "connection" and intimate "cause and effect" with him. He had no father or mother, but in Gu Xiaoman's body, he felt To the warmth of fate.

"So, your plan is to..."

"Bring Gu Xiaoman back to Central Continent and make her a priest."

The Red Dragon said sincerely: "She is a genius in extraordinary practice. When she is promoted to a sufficient level, she will become the next 'Red Dragon'. Mr. Tianshui will arrange everything for Gu Xiaoman, and the Tower of Origin will release all resources. Help her practice, if you are worried that she will be corrupted by the consciousness of the sky, I can assure you...she will be the most important part of the future 'God Killing' plan!"

Gu Shen understood the implication of Red Dragon's words.

Since Gu Xiaoman was such an important part of the God Killing Plan, how could Tianshui allow him to be corrupted?

"That will take many years..."

Gu Shen said slowly: "Five years, ten years..."

"Maybe longer."

The red dragon took the initiative to speak and said: "Killing 'Sky' was not planned overnight. This is the longest great existence sitting on the throne of the Seven Gods...the plan cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, so planning these needs The time span must be long. But now is the time to make a decision."

"I want her to be the 'Lord of Wine'—"

Gu Shen said slowly: "But all of this is not a transaction between you and me."

The real reason for Red Dragon to come here should be for Gu Xiaoman.

The reason why the number of the ancient text club was stated earlier is to allow the conversation to continue——

If possible, he would probably hide the hole card "064" until the end!
At this moment, Gu Shen also guessed that Bai Xiu is probably fine.

"I need to see her again before you take her away."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Some things, it's useless for you to say, she only listens to me."

"……no problem."

Red Dragon agreed very readily: "Don't worry, this child is still in Dongzhou's hands, and the white sleeves are very well protected. What I want is to find and take her away before leaving the island."

Gu Shen's thoughts returned to the previous conversation: "So the second key person is Bai Xiu?"

"..."

The red dragon looked at Gu Shen meaningfully.

He neither nodded nor shook his head, but asked a question that was completely unexpected by Gu Shen: "Do you know that it rarely rains in the upper city?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He thought about it carefully, and it seems to be the case... Perhaps a port city like the Rhine is located near the sea and often has rainy weather, but it seems that the upper city is really sunny all year round. Most people in Wuzhou know that the upper city The climate is suitable and extremely livable.

In the final analysis, it is the reason of the sky god seat.

The [Authority] power of the Sky God Throne can control the local weather.

But no one thought about the deeper reasons behind this.

"20 years ago, my family was destroyed and I was taken to the Tower of Origin. Mr. Tianshui taught me sword skills and told me many interesting 'past events'..."

The red dragon smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "The reason why the Tower of Origin is sunny all year round is that the God seat in the sky hates rain."

Gu Shen asked: "...so?"

"The reason why Qinglong hates rain is because he once lost a duel when he was young and did not become a god."

The red dragon narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "It was a rainstorm, Qingyou's heart was almost pierced... Fortunately, Mr. Tianshui saved his life."

Gu Shen was shocked.

"Qinglong...before becoming a god seat, did you ever lose?"

Every god seat can be said to be an invincible person of an era.

They climbed all the way until they reached the top, and there were very few of them——

For example, Mr. Gu Changzhi!
He has played invincible hands all over Nagano, even Baishu can only come in second!
And the most powerful person in the throne of the sky, who lost in his youth... Gu Shen was shocked, but also curious about the existence who had defeated and almost killed Qingyu.

What kind of fierce man is this?

The red dragon sneered: "That man is very good at attacking from a distance, and he shot an arrow across dozens of miles, almost killing Qinglong—"

"With arrows?"

Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of the [Extinguished Candle] that he had condensed with the arc of truth earlier.

The devil once said, [Extinguished Candle] is an artifact left by a remarkable person!
Go back in time 100 years...

When Qinglong was young, he was shot by a mysterious person, so it seems to faintly coincide with the era of [Extinguish the Candle] when it was shining brightly.

These two, can't they be the same person?

Gu Shen's lips were a little dry, he asked: "Who is that person, was he listed among the 'Seven Gods' later? Now..."

He paused at this point.

Now... now it must be dead.

"Mr. did not say the specific name of that person."

The red dragon shook his head, and said with some regret: "With that person's 'stunning talent and beauty', if he keeps practicing, he must be able to achieve the god position, but I heard from my husband that the person was sick and died young. Otherwise, Qinglong would not ascend the 'Sky God's Throne'."

Gu Shen felt sorry.

"These are things that happened a hundred years ago, and they don't matter anymore."

The red dragon continued, "The important thing is that since that time, Qinglong has narrowly escaped death, leaving a shadow in his heart. He has hated rainstorms for a long time after he became the seat of God..."

Gu Shen listened with bated breath.

"It's not just because the battle that year happened on a rainy night."

"It is also because of the ability of people who have been drawing bows and archery for many years, they will be greatly enhanced during thunderstorm nights."

Hearing this, Gu Shen's pupils suddenly shrank.

He already guessed what the red dragon was going to say.

"Thunder World Walker?!"

The red dragon showed a satisfied smile: "Yes...the one who almost shot Qingyu back then is the master of the special ability [Thunder World Walker]."

After going around in a big circle, he responded to Gu Shen's question from the side.

The second key person——

It's white sleeves!

[Thunder World Walker], the super genius who waited for 100 years in Wuzhou to be born again.

"In fact, Bai Xiu has always been on the hunting list of the Tower of Origin."

Red Dragon said: "It's just that the Bai family protected him very well. The one with the best chance was when Bai Xiu went out to visit the tundra a few years ago. It's a pity that those assassinations all ended in failure."

"Qinglong wants to kill Bai Xiu?" Gu Shen frowned.

"Actually, Qinglong doesn't matter anymore."

The Red Dragon said with emotion: "As the strongest person among the Seven Gods, how can he really be afraid of an ant? Time has passed for too long, presumably the shadow of Qingyu who was almost shot to death back then has long since faded away. After all, it was not [Thunder World Walker] who survived and inherited the position of god in the end, but him...so Qing Yu didn't care whether Bai Xiu died or not."

"Without a fire seed, no matter how high the talent of the white sleeve is, no matter how fast the practice is, it is meaningless."

As soon as these words came out, silence returned to the barrier.

Yes, it's brutal, but it's also true.

"Qingyu knew a long time ago that a [Thunder World Walker] ability user appeared in Dongzhou..."

The red dragon said coldly: "If he wanted to kill, he would have killed him long ago. He didn't do it now, just because he didn't care, but once Baixiu had any signs of inheriting any fire, he would do it."

"But, if Baixiu doesn't inherit the fire...then how did he become a part of the plan?"

"Sorry, that's not a question I can answer."

The red dragon hugged the scabbard, and replied calmly: "Mr. [Key], that's all I can tell you... Besides, I didn't say that the second key person in the plan is Bai Xiu."

"Yes, it's as if you didn't tell me that Sangzhou Grotto will usher in the outbreak of [Tan Yao]."

Gu Shen also learned this subtle irony: "There are some things that you and I know very well."

"Then it will rot in the stomach."

"But there's one thing I have to ask—"

Gu Shen would not follow the rhythm of the Red Dragon to conduct this conversation, he knew that he and the number one envoy of the Tower of Origin would never have such a good chance to meet again.

He looked directly into the red dragon's amber eyes: "Please tell me, what is the key...?"

"..."

The red dragon looked at him, and didn't seem to want to answer.

"Are you a fortune teller? This kind of thing is unspeakable?"

Gu Shen laughed angrily.

"The key...is the key."

"It's just that the mission of the key is not as simple as opening the [Red Door]."

There was compassion, respect, and many complex emotions in the red dragon's eyes.

Gu Shen knew that the Red Dragon must have seen important information that he did not know.

Is it about the future of the Guwenhui?

Or... a certain corner opened by fate?

Gu Shen continued to ask: "It's not opening the [Red Door], so what is it opening? What did you see, can't you tell me about it?"

"...Mr. [Key], I haven't seen anything, and you should also be aware that everything related to 'Fire' is beyond the reach of divination."

The red dragon sorted out his emotions, and said solemnly: "It's just that, as the 'hope' that the ancient prose society has waited for so many years, you are destined to bear the unbearable weight of the ordinary people in the world. We have long been prepared to 'sacrifice everything', The [Red Gate] can be broken, and the conference room can be sunk, as long as the final result is bright, then the process is no longer important... So, what you have to do is not just connecting the ancient literature clubs."

"Because we can all be pawns."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"When Mr. Tianshui asked me to see you, I would pass on a few words to you."

The red dragon said slowly: "The first sentence is: Death is not the end, maybe death...is the beginning of everything."

Gu Shen is no stranger to this sentence, it is the will to arise and die left by Minghuo in the pure land.

He didn't understand what Tian Shui meant when he conveyed this sentence to him... Did he see through his identity as Pluto?

Or does this sentence have a deeper meaning?
"The second sentence—"

Holding the saber in his arms, the red dragon smiled with downcast eyes, every word was punched forcefully.

"If you choose to burn, we will be your embers."
