Light Fortress Chapter 1886 - 464: Extraordinary Era! (Part 2)
Previously on Light Fortress...
The inky shadows that escaped from the Blazing Fire Slash descended to the Dead Sea floor, each doing exactly the same thing as the previous shadow... In the boiling waters, millions of strands of ancient script radiated brilliantly, this being the final means Deep Sea had planted in the Dead Sea Zone over the past thirty years.
It inscribed every inch of the Dead Sea’s land with ancient script.
The authority center was hidden among them.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Thunderous sounds echoed from the ground, these inky shadows, like swarming ants, lifted stones from the Dead Sea Zone, stirring up countless strands of blue light. The entire Dead Sea was illuminated by the rune glow of the ancient script, even overshadowing the light of the Blazing Fire at this moment.
"Is this your final gambit?"
Gu Shen watched the blue-lit land rising above without expression.
He smiled slightly, "Are you underestimating us a bit?"
Chu Ling extended a finger.
She slowly pointed to a certain place in the blue light.
To others, all the strands of light looked the same.
But for her,
The millions of strands of light were different.
Because she truly understood the ancient script.
Without any hesitation, Gu Shen drew his bow and arrow, [Truth.Extinguishing Candle] effortlessly summoned in the spiritual world. His purpose in summoning this great bow was primarily to utilize [Achilles’ Heel], with the Blazing Fire Vision enveloping the Dead Sea Zone.
This arrow was nothing elaborate.
Just a light sonic boom.
The entire Dead Sea was cleared with a narrow, straight arrow trajectory.
Immediately followed by an explosive sound that seemed to shatter the entire sea area, thundering dully like heavenly thunder, the ancient script that Deep Sea painstakingly sketched over thirty years exploded in an instant.
The inky shadow holding onto the "authority center" contracted its pupils, unable to react before its chest was torn apart by the scorching arrow, its entire spiritual shell instantly obliterated into nothingness.
Swoosh.
Gu Shen instantaneously reached the authority center stele, grasping it, he poured spiritual power into the stele amidst the grand explosion.
The Lion Awakening code spread at this moment.
...
...
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
The grand explosion’s shockwave spread, and Lu Nanzhi closed the [Red Door] at the last moment.
This was the result of Gu Shen’s spiritual reminder.
After refining the Netherworld Fire, Gu Shen had achieved a certain kind of life-level leap, although even before refining the fire seed, his spiritual power was unmatched below the Divine Throne... Before shooting the Extinguishing Candle, Gu Shen had split off a strand of Heart Flow Power, reminding the lady outside the [Red Door] to close the portal.
Now having ascended the Divine Throne, becoming the supreme seat, he had countless ways to safely leave the Spiritual Sea Domain of the Dead Sea Zone.
But Lu Nanzhi and the others were different.
[Deep Sea] would not perish from his Extinguishing Candle alone or even suffer significant loss.
This battle was not over.
[Deep Sea] would undoubtedly shatter the Red Door, even seeking opportunities to invade the Array Box Sea Area.
The authority center had been found, this battle was already won.
The Red Door was likely unsustainable.
If the portal was closed in advance, at least everyone could evacuate safely.
In the underground of Huazhi Building, the high-levels of the two continents who collectively entered the Array Box Sea Area now woke up in great fright, everyone’s faces covered in sweat, still holding onto residual fear, as the earlier battle was truly shocking...
Song Ci and Lu Nanjin supported the lady.
The Fortress Guardians of the North Continent were also shaky and unstable on their feet.
Even as spectators... they felt a bout of dizziness.
It was clear how much spirit it took to immerse in the Dead Sea Zone.
"Gu Shen, did it work?"
Gong Zi asked hoarsely, rubbing his forehead, as soon as he returned to the real world.
This was the question that everyone was concerned about!
The final moment, the almost explosive brilliance rushing out of the Red Door, was too dazzling, no one saw the scene after the explosion.
"Buzz!"
Lu Nanzhi took a deep breath, calling up the current scene of Da Du in the real world.
Drones hovered at the Skytop.
What was presented to everyone’s eyes now was the assembly hall in the core area of Da Du, the night serene, with elegant classical music flowing from the hall, but the streets surrounding the hall looked silent and frozen like an oil painting, as if time had stopped... More accurately, the crowd was still.
The frames shifted, increasing.
One after another, images flowed into the Huazhi underground conference room.
The river bank, the old city, Yinghai, the whole Jiangnan, and even the remote towns in the Tundra, all presented the same scene as before.
"Entered into a dream..."
Fisher murmured, bubbles bursting in his head’s fish tank as he spoke.
He leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down, his emotions surging, immensely complicated.
Silence.
Extreme silence in the conference room.
Everyone knew what these images meant.
The entire East Continent had fallen into an unparalleled, serene dream state.
This indicated that the Lion Awakening code had spread through the authority center of the Dead Sea Zone.
At this moment, Gu Shen successfully completed the hypnosis.
This was the largest-scale hypnosis in history.
"What about the North Continent... the images of the North Continent?"
Fisher suddenly remembered something important, hypnosis in the East Continent was successful, so what about the North Continent?
The Underground Research Institute and Huazhi had long established a secret cooperative relationship.
The current data transmission bypassed Deep Sea, so it took some time... Moments later, scenes from the North Continent appeared on the projection screen.
The Source Energy Boats gliding across Skytop in Central City stalled simultaneously.
The Transcendents still roamed freely, but the airships were controlled and forcibly stopped.
Although the Lion Awakening code was only cast upon the ordinary citizens, to ensure stability during the "hypnosis time," Gu Shen imposed a no-fly order with supreme seat authority, leaving the Transcendents bewildered as they looked at the extinguished engines beneath them.
The news of Central Continent’s Awakening Bill... had already spread in the extraordinary world.
Thus, after a few seconds.
The gaze of these Transcendents shifted from bewilderment to shock.
They had realized... what this stilled scene signified.
Central City, Luoyin City Fortress, Cicada Wing City Fortress, Dragon Bone Fortress, Gu Castle...
Numerous images fell into the Huazhi underground conference room.
These images were all shot and transmitted in real-time by the "Fortress Guardian Vice Officers."
On the giant wall of Cicada Wing City Fortress sat a figure, Wei Cheng extended [Jade Hand], giving a thumbs up to the silent fortress below.
In Gu Castle, heavy snow swirling, Vice Officer Zou filmed the backs of Lin Lin and Gu Nanfeng.
"...Succeeded."
Fisher’s voice was hoarse to the extreme.
Deep Scale City’s data also transmitted onto the screen.
Seeing the people he silently protected, also entering the Lion Awakening Dream at this moment.
Living Fish suddenly felt his eyes a bit moist, instinctively wiping his tank, causing a splash of water, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Fortunately, he wore a fish tank, no one saw this scene.
It wasn’t amusing news that the iron-willed guardians of Deep Scale City shed tears uncontrollably.
The North Continent guardians didn’t fare much better than Fisher.
They sacrificed so much for the fortresses, for the frontier...
The "balancing" in Deep Sea could certainly process some information, but the North Continent Army was so vast, to maintain order in the extraordinary world, each fortress had to periodically perform mental hypnosis on ordinary warriors... This long-term hypnosis was not good for the ordinary, they certainly didn’t want to do it, it was only because they had no choice earlier.
Now, it wasn’t necessary.
Lu Nanzhi watched the gigantic screen, as scene after silent scene projected.
At this moment, she couldn’t describe her emotions in words.
She had lost count of how much effort she had devoted to guarding the Red Door over these thirty years.
But indisputably...
All the sacrifice, all the investment, was worth it.
Supported by Song Ci and Lu Nanjin, Lu Nanzhi stood firmly, striving to control her voice so it wouldn’t tremble.
"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations... you have witnessed history!"
"From today on... humanity enters the Transcendent Era!"
"A Transcendent Era of our own!"
