Light Fortress Chapter 1893 - 2: The Lord of Love’s Phantasm
Previously on Light Fortress...
"The true enemy of the Five Continents Civilization lies in the Old World."
Turing spoke meaningfully: "It is the Source Material Storm and the ’Unknown’ that came with the storm."
"Many years ago, the Storm had already seen this issue."
"Thus, the Storm will certainly flee."
Turing said: "For the past thirty years, the Storm God’s Throne has been preparing for ’escape’... That is also why I did not include the Southern Continent in the plan. No matter how intense the Divine War is near the Source Tower, the Storm will not intervene; his goal has never been to conquer the Five Continents."
Gu Shen was stunned.
Although he had vaguely guessed the truth just now... the revelation was still quite shocking.
Gu Shen murmured: "The Storm... will flee."
With that said, everything suddenly makes perfect sense.
If the Storm is determined to awaken and leave the Five Continents, then no matter what the outcome of the Divine War, it is irrelevant to him. Even if he gets involved and gains some interests, it is meaningless... He cannot carry all the land with him.
The reason he previously had to go to the cemetery and confront Bai Shu was because the pressure exerted by Deep Sea was stronger.
If the Storm refuses, then there would be no chance for ’escape’.
He has no choice but to pretend to agree, as long as he keeps himself alive in the cemetery battle, the subsequent Five Continents war will have nothing to do with him.
When the Divine War breaks out, he will be the first to leave!
It is now!
"I still don’t understand."
Gu Shen looked at Turing, his eyes full of confusion: "For someone as mighty as a Divine Throne, one of the Seven High Ones, why would they abandon the Southern Continent, forsake their native land..."
No matter how barren the Southern Continent is, it is still an entire continent.
"One can only say that hope is not something everyone is qualified to possess."
Turing stated indifferently, "The Storm saw some ’things that should not be seen’ before becoming a god. He has no hope for the Five Continents. Even if he catalyzed the fire seed, this thought has never changed... Thus, he wants to flee, and he has wanted to for many years."
"..."
Gu Shen was silent for a moment, "If staying in the Five Continents is destined to lead to death, does escaping... guarantee survival?"
He was well aware of the technological level of the Southern Continent.
The starships created by the Lord of Melting Iron had all perished in the storm back in the day.
How could the Southern Continent’s scrap metal possibly survive?
"The Southern Continent has a ’starship’."
Turing calmly stated: "This starship seems damaged, but in reality, most of its functions are intact. The damaged part can barely be repaired given the Southern Continent’s current technological level. Once repaired, the Storm Church can flee the Southern Continent... For the past thirty years, the Storm God’s Throne has been working on this. He has hidden the information perfectly, unbeknownst to anyone."
Gu Shen frowned.
Hidden perfectly, unbeknownst to anyone?
Then how does Turing know?
"Could the starship be..."
"I sent it out."
Turing smiled slightly and said: "The starships fallen from the [Old World] are more than one. The one sent to the Southern Continent was a ’gift’ I carefully selected. Rest assured, the combat power and industrial standard of that starship remain far inferior to the initial model, but it has maximized the ’avoidance’ attribute."
"For a person like the Storm God’s Throne, whose heart is filled with despair, if he does not see a glimpse of hope, how would he dare to gamble his fate on escape?"
Gu Shen was speechless.
Hence, the "future" of the Southern Continent was also part of Turing’s plan.
"Once the Storm God’s Throne leaves the Southern Continent, Deep Sea will immediately take over this continent."
Gu Shen spoke solemnly: "The Lion Awakening code has yet to spread across the Southern Continent mainland..."
Turing calmly replied: "Indeed, the first prelude to war will surely unfold on the Southern Continent mainland."
Pitiful and sad.
The weak can only become chess pieces.
From beginning to end, the Southern Continent has been a weak corner manipulated and schemed against, even its native Divine Throne has decided to abandon it.
"For both sides of the war, the Southern Continent’s war is not necessarily a bad thing."
Gu Shen understood Turing’s meaning.
The Three Continents Alliance, even if they release the Lion Awakening code, still faces great pressure. The Spirit Network cannot be replaced overnight... They have to face the enemy "Deep Sea." To win this war, they must first solve the core issue of "information processing." Due to the presence of the dual gods, Central Continent has stood in a transcendent position in the Five Continents these years, possessing strong financial superiority.
In addition, they have cultivated numerous outstanding Transcendents and established a complete priesthood system.
With Deep Sea assisting in information, they can quickly establish a comprehensive logic system for operations...
Opposite the chessboard lies an enemy who plans flawlessly and simultaneously controls real-time global data.
How should such a war be fought?
Everyone is worried; the current greatest advantage is the numerical superiority brought by the Three Continents Alliance...
Besides that, there is the strong and solid military strength of the Northern Continent.
In terms of pure hard power, the military strength of the Northern Continent is actually superior to that of the Central Continent.
But sadly, before the outbreak of this war, the three generals standing as pillars on the Northern Continent Frontier have all vanished into the [Old World].
If these three were still in the Northern Continent, the assurance of winning this war would increase by threefold.
The Three Continents Alliance does not mind prolonging the war timeline.
Because, as long as there is another Divine Throne, the balance of this war will tilt, whether it be Meng Xizhou or Gu Shen; both could become the "breakers" of the Source Tower Divine War.
