Light Fortress Chapter 1905 - 6: The Netherworld King’s High-Stakes Gamble

"Afu, on the Initial, is there an ’aspects of time’ related array pattern?"

"There is... wait, do you mean?"

Alfred looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

This Divine Infant Shell is bound by an incredibly powerful Power of Destiny.

Gu Shen’s spirit was locked within, unable to unleash his true power, but if he could grow naturally through time array patterns, he might find liberation from the shackles.

"I want... to grow up a bit."

Gu Shen spoke helplessly, "Being like this always, isn’t quite right."

"No need to feel inferior."

Bai Xiu said, "I don’t mind the trouble of holding you."

"???

Gu Shen angrily said, "Crawl! I’d rather crawl myself!"

"Time restriction does indeed exist." Afu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Back in the day, the God of Grain comprehended and mastered the legendary ’Time Origin.’ You should know, although Extraordinary Abilities lead to the same path, the strength among different origins varies."

All Extraordinary Abilities ultimately converge into the origin.

The origin is the extraordinary core of this world.

However, even among origins, there are levels.

Some origins are relatively more ’common.’

For example, the elemental origins such as water, fire, wind—these natural origins have many who comprehend and master them.

It’s not to say that Transcendents who comprehend natural origins are necessarily weaker than other Transcendents.

But scarce origins often have ’magical effects.’

For example, the great origin of ’Life and Death’ combined; once fully comprehended, its power is stronger than that of water and fire.

As for ’time’ and ’space,’ they are even rarer.

Transcendents who have the opportunity to comprehend space are at least A-grade geniuses according to the Extraordinary Assessment.

As for time.

It’s even less common; it’s been a long time since the Five Continents have seen it.

Looking worldwide, it seems only Mr. Bai Shu, relying on the full bloodline support of his entire clan, has mastered the Power of Reverse Flow.

As for Chen Mei’s ’Time Slow,’ it’s not considered a great path, but with this ability, he’s one of the top fighters on the Continent, and he may have the chance to reach the pinnacle in the future.

Besides these two, there’s one more person who mastered the power of time.

That is Mr. Turing.

But Turing only mastered part of the method through the power of ’Ancient Texts.’

These three, only mastered ’part’ of the power of time; none have touched the origin, even Mr. Bai Shu, who is the closest, has not touched the origin.

But the Valley’s Divine Throne is different.

"The Valley’s Divine Throne mastered the legendary ’Time Origin’?"

Gu Shen said with emotion, "Then how powerful must this Divine Throne be?"

"She is indeed strong, but unfortunately... not adept at combat."

Afu smiled slightly and said, "In that era, the Grain Goddess had another title, revered by thousands of citizens as the ’Hope Guardian.’ This leader was not a combat-type leader, much like my master, belonging to an auxiliary leadership. If battles broke out, she was responsible for providing rear support to other leaders, and her domain could envelop and link nearly a hundred starships."

"..."

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu exchanged glances and both felt the shock in each other’s eyes.

The Starship Civilization indeed wasn’t a civilization known for individual strength.

This civilization emphasized the coordination of all Transcendents, the development of Extraordinary Technology... there were only four Divine Thrones, of which two were auxiliary leaders.

As for the Lord of Love who vanished in the dreamscape, it didn’t seem combat-oriented either.

"The Hunter God is very strong."

Afu immediately saw through Gu Shen’s thoughts.

He said solemnly, "My master once said, if it really came down to life and death... the Hunter God alone could at least face off against three ’leader-level’ entities."

"One against three?"

Bai Xiu suddenly thought of the Sky Divine Throne currently engaged in the Divine War at the Source Tower.

"Yes."

Afu said slowly, "And highly likely to win. Because the Hunter God possesses artifacts crafted by my master, and the domain support provided by the Valley Goddess. He cultivated for a long time in her ’Time Dojo.’ This was the greatest hope the Starship Civilization had against the disaster, remember what I mentioned earlier? If the four Divine Thrones worked together, we had the confidence to directly confront the Super Giant Source Material Storm."

"The reason for that confidence was... the Hunter God."

Afu paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Incidentally, the bow that someone is looking for is one of the Hunter God’s lost relics."

Bai Xiu’s expression was quite calm at this moment.

When the Hunter God was mentioned, he had already guessed the general situation.

If there is an Extraordinary Object that can help him quickly enhance his combat power to confront ’Qinglong’... then that object must be a Divine Artifact, and a top-grade one at that.

"One Divine Miracle’s domain support and countless blessings would create an extremely monstrous entity."

Afu said with emotion, "You probably don’t know the level of the Hunter God’s strength back then..."

"And then what happened?"

Little Xiuzi couldn’t hold back and finally inquired.

"Then... the Hunter God really went to stop the Super Giant Source Material Storm."

Afu’s previously enthusiastic demeanor suddenly turned desolate.

He softly said, "The starship successfully set sail, but Lord Hunter God never returned."

Though thousands of people ran rampant, I remain resolute.

This journey was, in essence, to face death.

Gu Shen quietly listened to this history, and he thought of himself. Mr. Turing’s current efforts were very similar to those of the Starship Civilization.
