Light Fortress Chapter 1900 - 4: The True Enemy (Part 2)

The bullet in the palm of the Lord of Love continuously changed color, from red to purple, then to blue.

Finally, the bullet turned pitch black.

"Whoosh!"

The bullet suddenly disappeared from the palm of the Lord of Love and shot towards Gu Shen.

Rather than aiming at Gu Shen, it seemed to penetrate space!

This dream was the Divine Domain of the Lord of Love, and the bullet reached Gu Shen in an instant; it had no intention of attack but rather appeared swiftly in Gu Shen’s palm.

"Look."

The Lord of Love whispered, "The strongest extraordinary material in the real world, Black Silver. Even this material cannot resist the erosion of the ’Source Material Storm,’ because when the black spot spreads to the extreme, it will entangle, and once logic collapses, it becomes irreversible, like a snag on a sweater... the more you pull, the longer the bad thread grows."

Gu Shen stretched out his palm and grasped the bullet.

"The vacuum barrier was completely destroyed by the Source Material Storm."

"Space Gates are also nearly depleted."

"Initially, our resistance... was to try to pull out the decaying thread on the sweater, but this did not make things better, it made the disaster greater. Because the more extraordinary power is used, the more entropy increases, and the collapse of order becomes more severe..."

Gu Shen felt the temperature of the bullet and upon hearing this, he looked up at the Lord of Love.

"So..."

Gu Shen contemplated, "It needs to be cut off immediately."

"Correct."

The Lord of Love said solemnly, "This is the reason for the birth of the ’Fire Extinguishing Sword,’ when forging starships, Molten Iron was always pondering ways to end the disaster... Our conclusion was to find a material that could reverse-recover ’extraordinary power’ and forge it into a divine artifact. If lost order can be contained, then perhaps there is a way to end it all at the source."

Thus, the sword was made.

If one sword can extinguish even the Divine Throne’s fire.

Then...

All the extraordinary power in this world must be severed by this sword.

"Does such a thing really exist?"

Gu Shen was shocked by the plan described by the Lord of Love, the Fire Leader of the Starship Civilization was indeed great, and extremely thoughtful.

This plan could be considered remarkably ambitious.

The Lord of Love smiled slightly without answering.

"I still don’t understand, if it’s just a storm, why wouldn’t you simply refrain from resisting... The Initial hovered under the Ice Sea for a thousand years without any anomaly."

Gu Shen expressed confusion, "With your capabilities, you could choose to hide in place, why escape?"

"Because the enemy is not just the storm."

The Lord of Love gently stated, "If extraordinary power cannot be reverse-conquered, the growth of black spots will never cease. Because the phenomenon of order collapse is attractive, the Super Giant Source Material Storm wandering in the void will constantly move towards the ’black spots,’ the escape of the starship was really to leave behind a Pure Land."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"If we had chosen to continue staying, these few lands would have been destroyed."

The Lord of Love gently said, "Escape was also to preserve hope, at least to ensure this world has a place uncollapsed."

"The reason the Initial is unharmed is because there isn’t a single living being in its cabin... So the black spots never breed inside the Initial. The escaping starships successfully took the giant storm away, allowing the submerged Initial and nearby lands to be spared."

The Transcendents on the Five Continents have never understood.

Why Changye had "residence traces" long ago.

It’s not just Changye.

The history of the Five Continents is only six hundred years.

But six hundred years ago... there were already traces of civilization.

This world is circular, the beginning and end connected to form a ring, and these lands many years ago were the habitat of the Starship Civilization, perhaps before the movement of tectonic plates, "Five Continents" was once a unity... The Starship Civilization escaped at a great cost and returned to their homeland.

Gu Shen, his voice slightly trembling, asked, "Then what about the Oasis?"

"Oasis..."

The Lord of Love blinked, smiling as she asked, "What is that?"

The Starship Civilization that fled back then simply did not know of the Oasis’s existence.

Because at the time they had grown strong to the extreme.

The escape was to preserve the "homeland."

The so-called Oasis was merely a "fabrication" during the escape journey to allow the tribe to persevere, there was no real Oasis, humanity’s own homeland was the greatest Oasis.

Five Continents.

The place where Gu Shen has lived for over twenty years is the Oasis.

"So... that’s how it is..."

Gu Shen smiled bitterly.

He felt this truth was indeed a bit harsh.

For so many years, the Investigation Corps has been searching for the Oasis, regardless of costs, wave after wave of pioneers sacrificed in the [Old World].

The teacher, the senior sister... and many others, they all believed that the "Oasis" really existed.

In moments of despair, people always need a glimmer of light.

And now Gu Shen has learned the truth—that so-called light simply doesn’t exist.

"You seem very disappointed..."

The Lord of Love, with her foresight, instantly understood from Gu Shen’s reaction.

The throne woman softly said, "If your so-called Oasis refers to a haven capable of perfectly avoiding the ’Super Giant Source Material Storm’... then perhaps it lies deep within the world, back when Molten Iron embarked with starships, he did have this idea, he hoped to lead the tribes to find an ’endpoint’ free from intrusion by the Source Material Storm, but at that time, the term Oasis had not yet emerged."
