Light Fortress Chapter 2010 - 58: "How About You Refine All Three of These?
Previously on Light Fortress...
The most precious treasure left to humanity by the Grain Goddess is the Time Dojo.
But so many years have passed.
No one knows where the Time Dojo is...
As the years weathered by, even those who know of the existence of the "Time Dojo" become fewer and fewer.
"Yes, the place you are in now is the ’Time Dojo’."
Mr. Turing gave Gu Shen a definitive answer.
He added, "To be precise, it is a part of the ’Time Dojo’."
"A part?"
The world Gu Shen was in began to burn, and the Dream of Reincarnation completely collapsed after he devoured the "Origin Will," and as black and white intertwined, the true nature of the void gradually emerged... Gu Shen’s consciousness returned to the airship, and he was moved to the co-pilot seat, where a faint humanoid fluorescence sat in the main pilot seat, the last image of Mr. Turing conversing with him.
The blazing fire wrapped around the airship.
Gu Shen realized he had returned to reality, the first thing he did was turn back to look——
The statue of the Lord of Love was shrouded in golden light.
Chu Ling was still there.
"Phew."
Gu Shen sighed in relief, then looked forward, facing the huge Green Silver Glass, where a brilliant fire burned. Because he dispatched Chi Huo to tear apart the Dream of Reincarnation, the entire airship was wrapped in a Blazing Flame Sea, and amid the rolling flames, a vivid and large "humanoid figure" was being roasted.
This was the "Origin Will" devoured by Chi Huo!
A giant developed humanoid Black Hole!
This Black Hole was nearly a hundred meters large, comparable to the giants of the Traveler Tribe. The black dot embryo Gu Shen discovered in the Redwood District was like a firefly compared to the moon, they were not on the same level.
"The ’end’ linked by the Exile Array is the embrace of this humanoid Black Hole."
Turing said lightly, "The [Deep Sea] has evolved eleven times, it indeed has gone beyond my control... but at the end of the day, I created it. I have the ability to let it see the light of this world, and also the ability to send it into the eternal darkness of destruction. Even if it possesses an ’independent personality’ of its own, its understanding of ancient texts is far inferior to mine."
So... the pit buried within the Exile Array.
[Deep Sea] simply could not detect.
"How long has this humanoid Black Hole existed?"
"A very, very long time, nearly ten thousand years."
Turing smiled and said, "Because its embryo core exists within the ’Time Dojo,’ how about you leave the airship and accompany me to the deepest part of this [Old World] and take a proper look."
Gu Shen held his breath and looked at his own hands.
They were no longer so immature.
He had grown a bit... although Chi Huo had freed most of it, he still counted as a young child.
"Hiss!"
Gu Shen left the airship, with a casual wave, the sea of fire retreated!
The void before him cleared, and Gu Shen saw several figures enveloped by the humanoid Black Hole, the Rust Bone General, his teacher, senior sister, senior brother... they were currently still in a "slumber" state, bound by the restart rules of the humanoid Black Hole, but currently out of danger.
As the Refiner of this Black Hole, with just a thought, Gu Shen could wake them.
But Gu Shen did not hurry to wake them.
He walked through the fire sea, guided by Turing, and then saw... the so-called "Time Dojo."
Amid the vast void stretched countless mirrors, at this moment Gu Shen saw countless versions of himself, each seemingly "real."
"The Time Dojo is a ’Super Divine Artifact’ forged with the combined efforts of all the leaders of the Starship Civilization."
Turing softly said, "Such things, like the ’Fire Extinguishing Sword,’ are ’concept creations’ that should not exist in the world. To create them, not only is the great forging craftsmanship of the Lord of Melting Iron required as foundational support, but also numerous conditions: a sufficient quantity of ’Heart Flow Power,’ a complete chain of ’Space Origin,’ ’Time Origin,’ etc. Each of these conditions is more demanding than the last, and all are essential."
Gu Shen looked at the immense void and darkness ahead, falling into silence.
"Ultimately, the Time Dojo was successfully completed, but it is not considered a perfect creation, it still has flaws."
Turing stretched out his hand, pointing at the endless starry sky before them.
"Look, what you see... is the Time Dojo."
Gu Shen looked at this world, barren to the extreme, indeed feeling an ancient and distant aura.
He reached out to touch the mirror containing the Power of Space Origin, his expression complicated as he asked, "So, is the Time Dojo the end of the [Old World]?"
"The starship carrying the dojo fell here."
Turing murmured, "Perhaps because the powerful origin power of the Time Dojo caused a rift, this region often experiences strange phenomena, like ’extreme day,’ and ’extreme night.’ Throughout history, the furthest distance the Five Continents Divine Throne bodies have traveled is here... So calling it the end of the world doesn’t seem too far-fetched."
Transcendents of Divine Throne level, once they reach this region, will perceive an overwhelming crisis.
For the transcendents of the Starship Civilization, cultivating within the "Time Dojo" is a good thing.
But for the Five Continents’ Divine Thrones.
Staying here brings only peril!
"Remember what I said... the Time Dojo has flaws? The time flow in this space is inconsistent, some places are fast, some are slow." Turing looked back at that humanoid Black Hole, speaking softly, "To protect Zhou Jiren, I placed the ’end’ of the Exile Array in the ’most normal flow’ area of the Time Dojo."
