Light Fortress Chapter 2025 - 63: Wielding the Light Sword, Severing Endless Dark Clouds (Part 3)

This is actually a rather presumptuous accusation.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Meng Xizhou and found that his expression showed no anger, remaining calm and composed.

Meng Xizhou smiled and said, "And then?"

In Gu Xiaoman’s view, this was a very inexplicable question.

"Then... of course, it’s to liberate Mr. Bai Shu and Her Majesty Lin Lei."

Meng Xizhou chuckled softly and shook his head.

"Watch."

After uttering a single word, she slowly extended her hand.

Two orbs of Blazing Light gathered in the great hall, and under her will, these two orbs of Blazing Light collided together... Gu Xiaoman held her breath, intensely focused on the scene before her.

The two orbs of Blazing Light smashed and intertwined together.

These two lights... seem to have differing intensities.

One orb began to shatter, blossoming with cracks.

The other... remained as whole as ever, showing no signs of cracking, and under Lin Lei’s exerted pressure, these two auras invaded each other’s "shells"!

To be precise, the orb of higher intensity shattered the latter, gradually crushing it little by little!

"What...?"

Gu Xiaoman was stunned, not grasping Meng Xizhou’s meaning.

"This is the Divine War."

Meng Xizhou calmly said, "Transcendent lifeforms that have mastered the origin become extremely difficult to kill... Battles of similar levels often take a long time to conclude unless facing an opponent that completely overwhelms or has an extreme attribute counter. For those in possession of the world’s strongest power, the ’Divine Throne,’ killing to decide victory or defeat takes even longer. This is why Mr. Bai Shu and the others can hold off Qinglong for so long, because they’ve dragged the battle into a stalemate of ’no life or death, won’t end.’

Gu Xiaoman remained bewildered.

"Qinglong has engaged and has the same intention; he wants to kill these two Divine Thrones within his Divine Domain... and thus accepted this ’Divine War’ that may not end for an unknown number of years."

Meng Xizhou said in a deep voice, "At Qinglong’s strength level, without absolute confidence, he wouldn’t accept this battle. Clearly, he believes he’s in an assured victory situation, even when one against two. The Source Tower’s ’silence’ over these four years further confirms this hypothesis; the longer this battle drags on, the more advantageous Qinglong’s position becomes. You think we have the upper hand if we strike now? It’s simply not as you think. A Divine Throne within its own life-origin Divine Domain receives unparalleled power amplification!"

"If we just join the battlefield like this, what we’ll face... won’t be a Qinglong in a ’weakened’ state."

"But rather, a Sky Divine Throne at the peak of battle fervor!"

This news was a tremendous blow to Gu Xiaoman.

For years, Gu Castle and the Southern Continent had been in a "war of attrition," appearing calm, which led to her thinking, "Why not move forward a few more steps?"

However, Meng Xizhou’s words splashed cold water on her.

"You mean... we’ve already lost the Divine War?"

Gu Xiaoman’s voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Yes."

Meng Xizhou openly admitted this fact, looking at the somewhat lost-looking girl before her, she softly said, "The reason I haven’t set foot in the Source Tower is that I know... Mr. Bai Shu is using his life to buy time. Once a new Divine Throne enters the battlefield, what awaits is a brand new Divine War. I must be confident enough to face Qinglong alone before I’d step into the Central Continent!"

Gu Xiaoman shook her head vigorously, coldly asking, "No one can see what’s happening within the Source Tower. Why are you so sure that Mr. Bai Shu and they would definitely lose, or have already lost?"

In her view.

The earlier one intervenes in the battlefield, the sooner Mr. Bai Shu can be saved!

"Because. I genuinely saw the future scenes."

Meng Xizhou stated regretfully.

She waved her hand to summon a pillar of light, and beyond the pillar was the tranquil Red Lake. At this moment, the lake water on the other side of the pillar rolled back, revealing an ancient book building sunken at the lake’s bottom, the Forbidden Book Tower, a remnant favor of destiny. In a certain sense, this is a special existence that surpasses "Divine Artifacts." Here, Meng Xizhou unraveled the plot of Deep Sea and broke the iron rule that "the flame cannot be directly observed."

"Regarding what I said about the Source Tower Divine War, would you like to visit the Forbidden Book Tower?"

Meng Xizhou, sitting on the Light Seat, earnestly asked, "If you want to see it, I can give you that opportunity."

"..."

Gu Xiaoman fell silent.

She looked at Master Bai Xiu, and the latter shook his head at her with a complex expression, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Clearly.

Bai Xiu had already been to the Forbidden Book Tower and personally verified what Meng Xizhou said about the "future."

"So, we have to wait a bit longer."

Meng Xizhou’s voice echoed in the great hall.

"But..."

Gu Xiaoman’s heart was full of reluctance, "What are we still waiting for, how much longer do we have to wait?"

"Wait for you to truly transform and make up your mind to break through that tower at all costs."

Meng Xizhou’s response caught Gu Xiaoman off guard.

She felt as if countless beams of light were piercing her heart.

What is true transformation?

She could already hunt the Gray Dragon alone, she had long wanted to break through that tower, but why... do we still have to wait?!

"Of course, I’m not just waiting for you alone."

Meng Xizhou stood up from the Throne, her voice gentle, "Also waiting for Mr. Bai Xiu to find that one thunder hidden deep in the Heart Lake. That day, the West Continent will personally wield the Light Sword, slicing through endless dark clouds, making a decisive stand with Qinglong for the countless beings of the Five Continents."

There was one more thing Meng Xizhou didn’t say.

She wasn’t waiting just for Gu Xiaoman, nor only for Bai Xiu.

She’s waiting for that wisp of fire lost in the endless void to return to the Five Continents.

In the prophecy revealed at the Forbidden Book Tower, she saw the sinister spirits of the world gathering into endless dark clouds, eventually shattered by a Big Snake, and that person descended to the world wrapped in countless blazing flames...

If... in the final battle with Qinglong, that person is there.

Then this battle will surely be won!
