Light Fortress Chapter 2061 - 83: Breaching the Wall (Part 1)

"Outside... is it going to rain?"

Qinglong looked at the vast clouds outside the Source Tower, his mind uncontrollably recalling the brutal battle from many years ago.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

But his voice carried a mocking, sarcastic laugh.

"In these five years, has Bai Xiu forged his own flame?"

"As far as I know... no."

Deep Sea’s voice was very respectful: "But recently, there was a strong burst of Extraordinary Aura at the Tundra Prison. That burst is related to Bai Xiu."

"Oh?" Qinglong narrowed his eyes.

He began to accept the information Deep Sea transmitted to the Heart Lake.

Soon, this Divine Throne "understood" all the events that had occurred inland over the past five years.

Deep Sea held nothing back; it dominated the Traveler Tribe, sacrificing computational power for itself, though it was evidently violating the supreme law. But given the current situation... retreat was no longer an option. Both it and Qinglong had, over the past five years, become closely connected "partners in fate."

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

"Has the East Continent already started taking ’strong’ measures?"

Qinglong extended two fingers, rubbing his brow.

He gloomily looked at Deep Sea, that "illusion" condensed by countless spiritual computational powers of extraordinary life forms still maintained its kneeling, submissive posture.

"As we anticipated... the three continents of East, West, and North have formed a solid alliance over these years."

Deep Sea said in a deep voice: "Lin Lei and Bai Shu initiated the Divine War, throwing the entire Five Continents into turmoil."

At this,

It regretfully sighed deeply: "What a pity, peace could not be maintained in the end."

"These years, I’ve built high walls along the Central Continent’s coastline."

Deep Sea paused to explain: "The ’Heavenly Sheath Weaponry’ in the Tundra Region is estimated to number around four hundred. If they are determined to launch their final attack, these Heavenly Sheath Weapons are enough to ’flatten’ the Central Continent physically."

Qinglong silently listened, without rebuttal.

He was indeed a very arrogant person, confident of being the strongest within the Five Continents.

But even the strongest person has things they cannot achieve.

If Qinglong decided to fully expand his Sky Divine Domain, then enveloping the entire Upper City shouldn’t be a problem... But should the three-continent alliance decide to target all Heavenly Sheath Weapons at Upper City for an offensive, he could attempt to use his Divine Domain to block this desperate, unthinkable strike.

But if the Heavenly Sheath Weapons were dispersed,

Then he would have a very tough time intercepting them.

"Building high walls is to intercept ’Heavenly Sheath Weapons’," Deep Sea said. "Should Gu Nanfeng decide to launch a full-scale attack, over eighty percent of the Heavenly Sheath Weapons will be intercepted by the high walls outside..."

Qinglong frowned and asked: "What about the remaining twenty percent?"

"Not important."

Deep Sea’s answer was rational: "We just need to ensure that Upper City is safe enough, that after suffering the Heavenly Sheath strike, the Central Continent can still organize a counterattack. That will be enough."

As long as it’s war, there will be casualties.

The high walls of the Source Tower can intercept eighty percent of the Heavenly Sheath strikes... the remaining twenty percent, as long as they are not on Upper City, it will be indifferent to Deep Sea.

"Ha."

Qinglong chuckled lightly, his words carrying heavy sarcasm: "Is this what you look like after completing eleven upgrades? It still seems there’s no ’humanity’."

Twenty percent of the regions being hit by Heavenly Sheath strike.

It’s still an extremely grim casualty figure.

Yet Deep Sea evidently didn’t care.

This guy truly had a great "big picture view," but this is not just an advantage but also a fatal flaw.

For the sake of eventual victory, Deep Sea could allow all necessary sacrifices.

But Qinglong is not Deep Sea.

"I want my people to live well."

Qinglong said bluntly: "I reviewed the data on the high walls; without my authorization, you cannot fully mobilize the spiritual power of the Dead Sea Zone. Now I give you this authorization, and my only requirement is to improve the interception rate of ’Heavenly Sheath strike,’ so more people can survive."

"... Understood."

Deep Sea paused for a moment before complying.

"Additionally."

Qinglong’s tone became heavy, he extended a palm, upward facing.

"That... Wine Spark?"

Engaged in battle with Lin Lei and Bai Shu for five years, to ensure the Source Tower could function properly, he granted Deep Sea a very high level of authority, including the origin gift of the "Sky Flame" and the choicest power of the "Wine Spark."

Deep Sea utilized Qinglong’s gifted authority to the fullest!

He used the origin of the [Cloud Mirror] to create four "Origin Strong People" at the same level as Lie Renuo.

Though those directly accepting flame gifts and forging origins cannot compare with the likes of Northern Continent Three Generals who naturally understand them.

But wielding origin signifies unique existence!

But unfortunately... the owner of the Wine Spark has never been born. Deep Sea launched a "leader summons" across the entirety of the Central Continent; as long as the talents met the conditions, they could receive a shred of the Flame Dream from the Wine Spark.

Five full years!

No one from the Central Continent, entering the Extraordinary Era, could tame this shred of Flame Dream!

"Swish."

Deep Sea produced both hands.

The Wine Spark blossomed with azure flames, like a lotus opening and closing in the void.

Qinglong examined the flame in front of him wordlessly.

"Except for Gu Xiaoman, no other extraordinary individuals in the Central Continent can inherit this flame."
