Light Fortress Chapter 1928 - 15: Bargaining Chip

The Initial.

Alf stared at the flickering Chi Huo in front of him.

Calculating according to real-world time.

Gu Shen had entered the "time turbulence" for fifteen days now. During these fifteen days, the Chi Huo had remained stable, but just now, the flame suddenly started shaking violently——

This was not a good omen.

If the "turbulence" Gu Shen entered had a faster time ratio than the real world.

Then Alf needed to leave and react once he received the signal!

"Prohibition, stop!"

Alf hurriedly stopped the time prohibition, and a booming explosion sounded immediately after.

In the void, a thin and tender silhouette slowly appeared.

That silhouette was wrapped in a ball of firelight.

The skin on the body was full of wounds.

Between the eyebrows, a dim crimson flame was also burning.

It looked as if the injury was severe.

"Gu Shen... are you alright?!"

Alf quickly opened the bronze chamber door.

It carefully examined the infant in front of it. . .

Fifteen days had passed.

Gu Shen was still an infant, but at this moment, landing on the Initial, he could already stand steadily.

"I’m fine."

The tender voice that came from the infant’s mouth stunned Alf directly.

"Talking? You can talk now?!"

It looked at Gu Shen incredulously, happily circling around the little guy a few times.

"..."

Gu Shen was silent.

What kind of message is that? He’s not truly three years old!

"How long has it been in the real world?"

Gu Shen looked up at Alf; the first question he asked was about the real-world time.

"Fifteen days."

Alf replied seriously: "What about your side?"

Gu Shen’s Heart Flow Power had been calculating the elapsed time in the void.

"One hundred and fifty days..."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes and murmured: "Got lucky, first time entering the ’time turbulence’, and it triggered a tenfold ratio."

When the Soul integrates into the shell.

The Divine Infant can develop normally, if the time ratio isn’t adjusted by the time turbulence, it would take at least half a year before Gu Shen could barely begin to speak.

This time, indeed, was somewhat long.

"Your luck is indeed good."

Alf said with a smile, "But the Storm had even better luck back then."

During the Ice Sea Ruins, the Storm touched the time turbulence and was delayed for six full years!

While he stayed only for a week in the Ice Sea.

That was equivalent to triggering a "three hundred times" time ratio!

"For some reason, I even somewhat envy the Storm..."

Gu Shen teased with a laugh.

But this was just a joke.

Triggering such a high time ratio wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.

Within the time turbulence, the danger is too great, and the only way to ensure safety is if you have the strength of a Divine Throne.

"Just staying in time turbulence for half a year, I can’t bear it."

Gu Shen couldn’t help but sigh.

He raised his arms, looking at the myriad of scars all over his body.

The reason why the Grain Goddess’ "Time Dojo" is a creation of the era, is because cultivation can happen inside without considering external interference.

In the time turbulence, countless dangers lurk.

A slight misstep could lead to serious injury.

Even a top Heart Flow talent like Gu Shen could only divide his Heart Flow Power into two strands, for cultivation... it was simply a waste of effort.

In these six months.

One strand of Heart Flow Power was comprehending and refining the Netherworld King’s Spark in the Pure Land.

The other strand was simulating how to extract the Sword of Suspense from the Lord of Love’s illusion.

Unfortunately.

Six months was still a bit short.

Neither strand of Heart Flow Power made any good progress.

The biggest gain from this "seclusion" was that he could successfully speak... Nevertheless, the Divine Infant Shell grew by one hundred and fifty days, which is a tangible result.

If a higher ratio had been triggered in truth.

Actually the result would be the same.

The current physical strength of Gu Shen can only bear this long, any longer and there would be trouble.

"Do you need me to treat this injury?"

Alf kindly offered: "The Initial has many medical devices."

"No need to worry, I’m not seriously injured."

Gu Shen smiled, waving his hand, a thread of Life Fire seeped from between his brows.

What he feared least was injury.

The damage brought by the time turbulence is essentially just "superficial wounds," Life Fire applied casually, and it will heal in ten days or half a month.

But the only pity is that, no matter how fast the Life Fire’s repair speed, it still needs time.

During this period, Gu Shen is inconvenient to enter the turbulence again...

After all, his confidence in entering the turbulence comes from his own strength.

With injuries, even if a high ratio is triggered, one cannot stay for long, and there would instead be a life risk.

"Where did Little Xiuzi go?"

Gu Shen looked around; the Initial was empty.

"He’s been gone for fifteen days."

Speaking of Bai Xiu, Alf’s expression became worried and said, "I sent him to bring back Gu Xiaoman... Also not sure how that’s going."

Just as the words landed.

"Beep!"

The sound of Spiritual Link coming from the distant void of the other shore suddenly rang out.

The Initial was anchored in the void of the Northern Fortress.

This time leaving the East Sea, Alf was determined to find the traces left by his master... it no longer avoided interacting with the Five Continents Civilization, so before Bai Xiu’s departure, Alf entrusted the "Spiritual Link privileges" of the Initial to this young man.

Bai Xiu has a reassuring aura about him.

It believes this young man would not betray its trust.

"It’s Bai Xiu!"

Alf immediately linked, and a familiar face appeared on the projection screen.
