Light Fortress Chapter 1897 - 3: Chu Ling and the Lord of Love (2)

The spark shall not be extinguished.

Such is the nature of the Netherworld Fire, and also of the Traveler’s Spark.

They may lose their masters, may enter long periods of "self-sufficient" dormancy, but they will never extinguish, for they are the foundational origins of the extraordinary power of this world.

In a certain sense, if the spark extinguishes, it means "world annihilation," it signifies the collapse of the transcendent order’s pillar.

Perhaps...

If the spark extinguishes, does it mean the disappearance of extraordinary power?

This question currently has no answer.

However... what this "Fire Extinguishing Sword" does precisely acts directly upon the spark, causing it to extinguish.

This sword doesn’t intend to kill the Lord of Love.

It falls solely for the purpose of extinguishing the spark.

But if one extinguishes a spark while a Divine Throne is alive, this leader... will surely die along with it.

This has led to the current Silent Annihilation state of the "Lord of Love."

Has the fire been extinguished?

Not extinguished.

Has the person died?

Not dead.

Within the bronze hall’s golden illusion, this delicate balance maintains this miracle of life.

Therefore, Alf has always hoped for a "Sword Puller" to appear.

If that person can pull out the "Fire Extinguishing Sword," the spark may reignite, and the Lord of Love on the throne might awaken...

Of course, this is but a possibility.

The world changes; a millennium has passed, according to worldly rules, a millennium can level mountains.

The Lord of Love might also turn to dust, scattered to the winds.

Only, whatever the outcome, it is at least an outcome... better than this endless torment in darkness.

"Gu Shen, are you... sure you can pull the sword?"

Alf’s voice grew tense.

Because the Lord of Love said, Gu Shen is the Sword Puller, thus it decided to set sail... yet upon seeing Gu Shen now, it felt uncertain.

This kid, unseen for days, has turned into an infant.

Can an infant pull a sword?

"I’ll do my best."

Gu Shen spoke calmly, not boasting.

Though he has now fused with the Netherworld Fire... yet this infant form confines all his power.

This time, he would try to pull the sword, but whether he could really succeed is uncertain.

To reach the deepest layer of the golden illusion relying on the origin power of the Netherworld King Authority is already a sort of success.

"Tsk."

Bai Xiu held Gu Shen, feeling a faint thread of spiritual power quietly emanating.

The next moment, a strand of dark flame ignited on the Divine Infant’s brow.

Netherworld Fire!

This strand of Netherworld Fire ignited in the bronze hall, and a majestic pressure descended instantly!

Boom!

It was the soul suppression from the Divine Throne True Body!

The Divine Infant is inherently a perfect life form, and now Gu Shen released his own Spirit—

With a loud bang, the Red Shadow Robot carrying Chu Ling’s body bent its knees, kneeling directly to the ground.

Suspended in the air, Alf was pressed directly to the ground, unable to move.

"You kid..."

Shock flashed across Alf’s eyes.

It never expected that on the second meeting, Gu Shen had successfully fused with the spark!

Pulling the sword is something mortals can’t do... but if it’s a Quasi-God who has fused with the spark, there’s truly a great possibility!

"Sorry."

The next second, Gu Shen’s voice shattered Alf’s illusions.

He spoke a bit awkwardly, "Could you carry me a few steps forward?"

Bai Xiu: "..."

Alf: "..."

The Netherworld Fire is strong, and Gu Shen is strong, but the vessel that carries this Spirit is, unfortunately, an infant.

An infant who hasn’t even learned to crawl.

"Do you need me to have Red Shadow send you into the illusion?" Alf sighed lightly, "It’s okay if it gets ruined, the initial numbers have plenty."

"No need."

Gu Shen smiled, "I calculated, this body’s spiritual power can barely squeeze out a thread. Before sending Chu Ling and me into the illusion realm is enough, after that I... I can walk myself."

"Alright."

Alf’s eyes remained full of hope.

No matter what.

Gu Shen showed it the possibility of pulling the sword, even if it couldn’t be done today, what about waiting a bit longer? It’s already waited a thousand years, it’s least afraid of waiting!

Bai Xiu holding Gu Shen, stood at the edge of the golden illusion.

Red Shadow also carrying Chu Ling came to the same side.

"Buzzing..."

The space of the bronze hall emitted a slight tremor, Gu Shen gradually familiarized himself with this body that was inherently his, he controlled the Netherworld Fire, exempting "objects" within this hall, the pressure remained, but no longer effective against Red Shadow and Alf, and then a weak thread of spiritual power took over Chu Ling’s body.

Bai Xiu relaxed his arms.

Gu Shen thus hovered in the air.

He manipulated Chu Ling and himself to float up together, slowly gliding into the illusion.

...

...

The scene before him was very familiar, the throne surrounded by golden drapes.

In the illusion, the Lord of Love sat high.

Only this time, that unapproachable "Divine’s pressure" had faded considerably.

On one hand, it’s because Gu Shen had fused with the Netherworld Fire.

On the other hand, it’s because the life level of this body is exceedingly high.

Every generation of Divine Thrones accomplished the fusion with the spark through their postnatal effort... even with the favor of destiny, they couldn’t escape this point.

Gu Xiaoman was chosen by the Wine Spark at a very young age.

But she still needed to rely on her own efforts to gain the final acknowledgment of the spark.
