Previously on Light Fortress...
Gu Shen attempted to pull the "Fire Extinguishing Sword" to save Chu Ling, but the process was difficult. Despite the Lord of Love's cooperation, the Netherworld Fire was overwhelmed by a stronger "Power of Silence" upon contact with the sword. Although Gu Shen failed to extract the sword, Chu Ling was safe as the Lord of Love absorbed her spirit. Gu Shen's soul was significantly drained by the ordeal.

"The moment I grasped the sword, the power of extinguishing...

Deep Sea recalled the scene, his heart filled with lingering fear.

"That transmission of extinguishing power, ignoring distance and defense, hit me instantly, not only my body but also my Heart Lake!"

He took a deep breath, then pretended to smile as if nothing was wrong, "I have a strong premonition that if I forcibly try to grasp this Fire Extinguishing Sword... the ’Netherworld Fire’ I’ve painstakingly refined will meet its ’extinguishment’ today."

Of course.

This is also a false extinction.

He would become an "existence" like the Lord of Love on the throne.

Half alive, as if alive and dead.

The fortunate ones who later enter this bronze hall will have the chance to witness the sight of two Divine Thrones being "extinguished."

"So terrifying?"

Alf was stunned, then showed a difficult expression.

According to his speculation, to pull this sword out... at least a Quasi-God level of powerful being is required.

Without origin power, it’s hard to even step into the depths of the golden illusion.

But such an existence, once grasping the sword, would immediately face "extinguishment."

Pulling the sword, isn’t it a paradox?

Only those who have the seed of fire are qualified to pull the sword... but this sword is designed to extinguish the "fire seed"!

"If my body grows a bit more, maybe the chances would be greater."

Deep Sea said in a deep voice.

He wasn’t joking.

Because his spirit is imprisoned in the body of a Divine Infant, he was under many restrictions.

Just making the posture to grasp the sword was already extremely difficult...

This shell is really inconvenient, and if there’s a way to escape the "shackle," the strength that Deep Sea could exert would increase exponentially, and then trying to pull the sword would certainly be more promising!

"Damn it."

At this point, Alf’s expression became peculiar.

He muttered, "I really can’t understand, how did you stuff yourself into this shell in just a few days of absence?"

For the placement of Chu Ling’s spirit.

After meeting, they always had no time to talk casually.

At this moment, Deep Sea finally had the time to recount everything that had happened during these days.

...

...

"...That’s about the way things went."

After a long period, this lengthy explanation came to an end with a light sigh from Deep Sea.

In the Spiritual World, Bai Xiu and Alf both had wonderful expressions.

"Regarding your ’internal struggles’... I had heard a little before."

Alf sighed, "I just didn’t expect you all could fight so intensely, so fiercely, with such imagination."

The layout of Chanyi City, feigned death, countermeasures, the outbreak of war.

This was a grand drama.

And also a good show.

How could Alf, who had been diving deep beneath the Ice Sea, have seen such a scene?

Moreover, the Starship Civilization from a thousand years ago didn’t even have the concept of "internal conflict"... To achieve the leader position, one must obtain the unanimous consent of other leaders, otherwise, there’s no qualification to touch the Box of Gospel. In such a stringent screening environment, every leader of the Starship Civilization was exceedingly "great"!

"So... the Transcendent war in the inland has already started."

Bai Xiu paused for a moment, then voiced his most concerning question, "Alf, will you join the war?"

According to what Deep Sea said.

The inland Divine Throne forces have fallen into absolute balance!

Qinglong is being restrained by Bai Shu and Lin Lei, the two Divine Thrones will do all they can to keep the sky trapped... and the Divine War at the Source Tower will last a long time.

And the only idle Storm God’s Throne is planning an escape.

In this view, the biggest worry of the Initial Number, the threat of "high-dimensional strikes," has minimized to the extreme.

"I..."

Alf hesitated a bit, then gritted his teeth and said, "If the Five Continents truly need the Initial Number, then I will join the war... However, until the Storm God’s Throne, which you all say is destined to escape, is confirmed to have completely left the inland, the Initial Number won’t get involved in this war."

This answer was already enough.

With great effort pulling Alf to their camp, getting a promise is enough to ensure that the East Continent won’t fall behind on the front lines.

Just talking about the Red Shadow Robot is enough to change the course of the war.

Such a product is something that the Five Continents Civilization could never produce!

As long as the Red Shadow joins the battle, the front lines will immediately tilt into a one-sided overwhelming scenario—

Even if the Initial Number doesn’t join the battle initially, just hovering outside the Northern Fortress, the "Black Silver" it provides is enough to give the Three Continents Alliance an overwhelming advantage in Transcendent equipment!

Central Continent’s only advantage is [Deep Sea].

"Don’t get any ideas, the reason I’m helping you all... is only because of the Lord of Love’s instructions."

Alf sighed, "According to the program set by my master, I shouldn’t interfere in the disputes between descendant civilizations. If it weren’t for Deep Sea being designated as the ’Sword Pulling Candidate’ by the Lord of Love and concerns about Xiaoman’s safety... I wouldn’t make a decision defying my master’s wishes."

He looked at Bai Xiu and said, "Don’t forget what you promised me on the way here."

After departure.

Along the way, Alf and Bai Xiu talked about many things.

Bai Xiu promised Alf that after stopping at the Northern Old World, he would make a trip back to the Five Continents to safely and soundly bring back Gu Xiaoman, who is at the center of the storm.

"Don’t worry."

Little Xiuzi raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiaoman is my disciple; even if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t watch her get caught in the whirlpool of war... After today, I will set off to Central Continent to bring her back."

Qinglong is treating Gu Xiaoman like a pawn.

Now, the sky is trapped in a protracted battle, [Deep Sea] has taken over the Source Tower, and that guy is not good at considering favors, he might threaten Gu Xiaoman at any time.

"This matter shouldn’t be delayed."

Deep Sea also nodded and said, "The Initial Number doesn’t have any more troubles, you could actually set off now."

Bai Xiu said helplessly, "No troubles? Did you forget about someone?"

Deep Sea was taken aback.

"Yourself."

Little Xiuzi said in an exasperated manner, "If I just leave, what will you do? Miss Chu is recuperating in the Lord of Love’s illusion, who will coax you to sleep, who will hold you while you walk?"

"???"

Deep Sea’s face turned crimson with anger, and he argued indignantly, "I’m not a three-year-old child, okay? I don’t need someone to coax me to sleep! Just that walking thing is indeed..."

Indeed very embarrassing.

The fact speaks louder than words, he is even inferior to a three-year-old child.

This shell is still at the newborn stage.

"If you’re concerned about not moving easily, Red Shadow can carry you."

Alf said with a sly smile, "Though it hasn’t been tried before, my intuition tells me that Red Shadow could serve as a very capable nanny."

"Pah!"

Deep Sea suddenly thought of a very important matter.

A leader among the Starship Civilization had comprehended a part of the incomplete time rules and applied them on the Initial Number back then.

It was precisely the time restriction comprehended by that leader that trapped the Storm God’s Throne in the Ice Sea for seven years!

If...

This time restriction could be applied to himself?
