Light Fortress Chapter 1899 - 4: The True Enemy

In the golden illusion of the Lord of Love, Chu Ling’s consciousness is perfectly preserved.

The array box is her birthplace.

And here is considered the array box’s nurturing homeland.

Gu Shen watched that cluster of Spiritual Radiance, embraced by the Lord of Love into her bosom. His heart, which had been hanging, was finally put to rest... but only halfway, because he knew it wasn’t over yet.

Just as the Lord of Love said.

To save Chu Ling, there are two methods.

One is to create a second Deep Sea.

The second is to find a "body" belonging to Chu Ling.

Since Chu Ling’s consciousness is a gift from the Lord of Love... she and the Lord of Love’s spirit are considered the same source, so for now, she can reside in this shell, but what about later?

This shell has already endured a millennium.

Only because of the existence of the "Fire Extinguishing Sword" does it maintain balance.

"Senior..."

Gu Shen cautiously asked, "You’ve been searching for the ’Sword Puller,’ I want to know... what will happen if I draw this sword?"

"Heh."

The Lord of Love chuckled softly, squinting her eyes, and whispered, "Then the world will become much better."

Gu Shen was stunned.

What does it mean that the world will become much better?

All along, Alf believed that this Fire Extinguishing Sword, and the throne shrouded in illusion, was merely a dream.

But the power of the fire seed is too strong.

Blurring reality and illusion is no difficulty.

To let the Starship Civilization escape the fate of destruction, the Lord of Love, who faced impending doom back then, chose to offer herself, leaving behind this golden illusion, waiting for a future "Sword Puller"... the significance of this sword is unquestionably not simple.

"I still want clarification from you, Senior."

Gu Shen sincerely sought guidance, hoping for a clear answer.

"A millennium ago, when the disaster first occurred, no one wanted to escape."

The Lord of Love stared into Gu Shen’s eyes: "Later, when we personally felt the power of the disaster... confirming it was a crisis even the leaders couldn’t resist, we hurriedly formulated the so-called ’escape plan.’ Lord of Melting Iron manufactured dozens of starships, but because preparations weren’t thorough enough, many were still swallowed, fortunately, in the peak period of Hunter God, he single-handedly resisted before the Source Material Storm, earning the final time for starship departure, thus this civilization was able to flee."

In just a few words.

It let Gu Shen feel "fear."

Seeing the Initial Starship, one can sense the strength of Starship Civilization of that time—

A powerful civilization leading the Five Continents by unknown years! Moreover, highly united!

Such a civilization, could only flee?

"Disaster... what was it exactly?"

Gu Shen’s forehead was drenched with cold sweat, his voice hoarse: "Was it a supermassive Source Material Storm?"

For a long time, the upper echelons of the Five Continents believed the reason ancient civilization fell was the inability to resist the immense Source Material Storm.

But looking at it now...

It seems not so.

The Initial Starship chose to submerge in the Ice Sea, surviving the "Source Material Storm" of that time... if the Lord of Melting Iron had chosen to let some reside in the Initial Starship, wouldn’t that count as a successful refuge?

In a sense.

The choice made by the Initial Starship was the plan proposed by Jing Shan Yan back then.

"The stars, beneath the Earth!"

Facts proved that as long as technology is advanced enough, submerging in the Ice Sea indeed avoids disaster, at least the Initial Starship wasn’t destroyed by the Storm.

"Of course... not exactly."

The Lord of Love looked at Gu Shen, feeling a bit amused, she gently asked: "It seems you’ve made the same mistake we did back then... if humanity’s greatest enemy is Source Material Storm, would Starship Civilization need to flee? Back then, we had hundreds of thousands of vacuum barriers, millions of space gates, whether the sky or land, or the ocean, there were impregnable Black Silver refuges."

Gu Shen was perplexed.

"Because of this... we had the foolish idea of directly repelling the Source Material Storm."

The Lord of Love gently sighed: "The real disaster lies in the ’extraordinary chaos’ brought by Source Material Storm... everything in this world has a price, the awakening of Extraordinary Power by Transcendent, the pleasures experienced from transcending rules, all require a price."

Gu Shen listened quietly.

The Lord of Love stretched out her palm.

In the golden illusion, countless threads pieced together, intertwined, floating and condensing into a little bullet.

"Everything has its structure, in our civilization, this structure is called ’logic.’"

This small bullet within the illusion was imbued with different colors.

Initially, it had no special color.

But as threads from the Lord of Love’s palm wrapped around it.

This bullet gradually turned red!

Gu Shen could feel the power contained in this bullet becoming intense, yet this power was very faint, he could destroy it with just a thought...

However, the aura emitted by this red bullet seemed very similar to the "red silver" of the real world—

No.

Not just similar.

Exactly the same!

In this golden illusion, the Lord of Love simulated and created a "red-silver bullet"!

Logic... Strong logic?

"The emergence of Extraordinary Power has caused the world’s ’entropy value’ to soar, and the result is the collapse of logic... what you currently refer to as ’dark spots’ are the aftermath of the collapse of ’logic’ in the real world, logical collapse cannot be repaired or cured, it can only be destroyed."
