Light Fortress Chapter 1992 - 45: Find You, Devour You!

A cluster of silver light was reflected on the lake surface—

The scene of the Source Material Storm attacking Gu Castle Fortress replayed again, but flickered away.

"Even for you at your prime age, you must feel exceptional pain..."

The Origin Will spoke indifferently: "Then, if it were your weakling senior brother or your nearly senile teacher, how many times could they bear it?"

Gu Shen silently looked at the Origin Will before him.

"If you want to leave this world with them... I believe you can do it, but before you achieve it, I will ensure that they suffer mental collapse."

The Origin Will shrugged: "Yet this isn’t my intention. I just hope that this game could last longer, a bit longer."

"So?"

"So I can send you away."

The Origin Will spoke calmly: "You’ve already completed the level, as long as you agree... I can immediately send you out of this Spiritual World."

It slightly leaned forward, upright a finger: "But your teacher, senior sister, senior brother, and that North Continent man ’Rustbone’, who has no ties with you, must stay here."

The lake remained silent for a moment.

The Origin Will patiently waited for Gu Shen’s response.

"I heard that the disorderly Source Material in the Old World accumulates excessively, forming incomprehensible ’Black Holes’. Within these Black Holes, something beyond human imagination is born."

Gu Shen slowly spoke: "Actually, the claim of an ’Origin Will’ in this world is just my speculation. I never thought the Black Holes in the Old World would actually give birth to their own intelligence."

The Origin Will laughed speechlessly: "It’s not hard to guess."

"That’s right, it’s not hard to guess."

Gu Shen quickly responded and said calmly: "After all, not long ago, I’ve just forged a ’human-shaped Black Hole’."

The Origin Will was silent for a second.

"Perhaps your eagerness to send me away isn’t because you worry this game will become dull..."

"But because you realize, you cannot stop me, cannot control me."

"You should be quite aware of what ’Chi Huo’s’ ability is, right? To devour all disorderly Source Material of this world, you painstakingly birthed your own ’spiritual wisdom’, but it might vanish entirely upon encountering me... That’s why you are negotiating with me to send me away, actually worried for your own safety."

Gu Shen spoke mockingly: "Therefore, I shall reject your ’kindness’. If I am to leave this world, then it must be with them."

"..."

The Origin Will regretfully asked: "There’s no negotiation on this matter?"

"There’s no negotiation on this matter."

Gu Shen spoke coldly: "If you are willing to end all this now, I can abandon the ’hunt’, henceforth we don’t interfere with one another, you can continue to draw Source Material at the end of the Old World."

"What if... I reject you as well?"

The Origin Will gazed at Gu Shen.

"Snap!"

Gu Shen snapped his fingers gently.

Thousands of golden Blazing Fire Swords suspended above Heart Lake shot out instantly—

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless Blazing Fire Sword Shadows tore the lake surface apart!

The body of the Origin Will was ripped open, exploded with countless tiny holes.

Its blurry and dim face manifested features again.

The Origin Will restored Gu Shen’s visage, smiling as he let those Blazing Fire Swords penetrate his body... This meeting with Gu Shen naturally could not proceed with the ’true self’. Gu Shen felt that as the blazing fire passed through the Origin Will’s form, it was like passing through air; this was merely a spirit projection of the Origin Will.

Thousands of sword shadows engulfed both.

Gu Shen coldly watched the Origin Will and said: "If anything happens to my teacher, senior sister, senior brother, and that ’North Continent man’, who you perceive as having no relation to me, I will definitely find you and devour you."

"Really?"

The Origin Will remained unmoved.

Its body slowly sank, as though to merge back into the Heart Lake.

At the last moment, it still smiled.

"Then let us test it?"

The countless golden sword shadows vanished.

The Heart Lake returned to tranquility, and Gu Shen gloomily lowered his head. The Origin Will had vanished without a trace, leaving an additional shadow beneath his true self.

Outside the Spiritual World, Rustbone’s angry shout echoed.

"Gu Shen, are you done yet?!"

Nine threads of Heart Flow Power instantly converged, due to the interference and arrival of the Origin Will, Gu Shen’s immersion in the Heart Lake’s time was significantly prolonged, yet the comprehension efficiency of ’Heart Flow Power’ did not diminish!

He immediately directed his spirit to the ’reality’.

The layer of Destruction Origin Shield enveloping him was now thin.

The comprehension of the stone tablet was halfway completed...

Gu Shen felt regret immensely, even with nine strands of Heart Flow Power, wanting to comprehend the ancient script of the Traveler Tribe in one go wasn’t sufficient.

Now, there was no time left to continue comprehending.

At this moment, the Destruction Giant could no longer suppress the furious Black Snow Mountain Giant... The most crucial is tens of thousands of low-level travelers have awakened.

They are recklessly assaulting Rustbone’s Origin Power.

Gu Shen hurriedly got up, returned to Rustbone’s side.

"Retreat!"

...

...

(Alright, I redefined the evening, but not because of procrastination, it really was a lengthy write-up... Tonight’s eight thousand word Chapter offered, hope everyone forgives.)
