Light Fortress Chapter 2093 - 97: Severing the Sea

"Gu Shen... you’ve finally come."

Deep Sea, seated on the throne, looked very calm.

As if Gu Shen’s arrival was not something surprising.

"Indeed. I’ve kept you waiting."

Gu Shen stood with his hands on the sword, atop the golden spike flowers, surrounded by towering Netherworld Fire, creating a vast Immaculate space in the Dead Sea, which continued to expand.

The Three Continents Alliance had cut off most connections between the outside world and [Deep Sea].

Yet within the Five Continents, [Deep Sea] still had many eyes.

It could see most of what happened outside the Wall of Source.

Gu Shen’s return to Changye was no small affair, witnessed by millions.

So, naturally, it saw it as well.

The first thing Gu Shen did upon returning to the Five Continents from the Ice Sea was head to Qingzhong... then expand the Netherfire Domain, enveloping the entire Skytop of Changye.

Although [Deep Sea] did not know what Gu Shen specifically did in Changye.

But it could guess.

"It wasn’t just me who came."

Gu Shen raised the Netherworld Fire Sword, and behind him, the long-awaited shrubs sprung from the void burnt by the Dead Sea, bathing in the wild growth of towering Netherworld Fire!

The entire Pure Land spread out at this moment!

Mountains and seas roared.

It wasn’t just Gu Shen who came.

It was millions within the Pure Land.

The countless deceased slumbering in Qingzhong Cemetery awoke, resurrecting in the Pure Land.

"..."

Deep Sea squinted its eyes, sitting on the throne.

It carefully stared at the Great Pure Land, certain doubts tangled in its heart found answers... just a while ago, it witnessed the peak duel between Gu Changzhi and Qinglong.

Since its birth.

Only two people it couldn’t see through.

One was Turing.

The other was Gu Changzhi.

The former was its creator, the "father," while the latter... was a human who defied normal reasoning or, perhaps, fittingly described as a "great man." Deep Sea couldn’t understand Gu Changzhi because this man’s life was as grand and upright as the sun, serving as a witness to history, unable to cast a shadow over Gu Changzhi’s life.

What kind of Divine Miracle is this?

The human heart often harbors evil thoughts, and human nature often commits evil acts.

The more power one wields, the easier one falls... Qinglong was the best example; the life of the Sky Divine Throne was an epic, establishing a towering structure in Central Continent, revered by countless followers, illuminated by Double Gods’ Blessing. Yet Qinglong had no connection to the word "sun," rejecting numerous tasks beyond Central Continent over the past century.

Qinglong was unwilling to burn his blood for humanity.

Let alone become the sun.

He cared for his subjects... but only within Central Continent, resulting in a century of governance excellence and, together with Mr. Tianshui, elevating Central Continent to the pinnacle of the world.

Such a person’s achievements were undoubtedly great.

Yet analyzing his life, it’s difficult to associate it with the word great.

Deep Sea looked down with a smile, "Gu Changzhi... building Qingzhong, wasn’t it for this day?"

It could use vast computational power to deduce truths from historical corners.

But it could not deduce the cause and effect of this scene.

Perhaps when Gu Changzhi ordered the construction of this Land of Divine Miracles in East Continent, it was for this most crucial battle in human fate.

Or perhaps, it was all a coincidence.

"That’s not important."

Gu Shen calmly said, "What’s important is, I stand before you now."

No matter why Qingzhong was built.

Now, millions of souls from this cemetery had all entered Gu Shen’s Pure Land.

Deep Sea killed Gu Shen time and time again...

Yet Gu Shen ultimately came here.

"Boom!"

The branches and leaves of the shrubs flew up, countless branches turning into Flowing Fire, like the pillar of a cage, covering the entire Ning Fan Sea Area.

As Gu Shen’s thought fell, Tie Wu immediately led the immense Dead Soul Army to charge out!

On the other side, Deep Sea rose from the throne, waving its sleeve.

From within the Dead Sea, an equally overwhelming and towering legion surged out, linked to the entire Central Continent, drawing upon the power within. The spirits of those connected formed into substance; if Gu Shen’s Pure Land was to strike the Dead Sea, then it would mobilize the entire Dead Sea to retaliate!

Two forces collided; Dead Sea and Netherworld Fire fused instantly, evaporating into massive "steam."

Both the Dead Sea and Netherworld Fire, in essence, are concretizations of spiritual power.

Yet these two forces were so powerful... reality’s rules were affected, leading to an elemental eruption phenomenon!

The Dead Soul Army within the Pure Land, despite its massive numbers, paled in comparison to the Dead Sea linked to the entire Central Continent. The battlefield quickly tipped over, the high walls erected by Netherworld Fire battered down by the Dead Sea’s massive wave, creating enormous cracks, but were immediately repaired; the "Netherworld King Authority" that Gu Shen wielded feared death the least.

Those who slumbered in the cemetery had already died once.

Even if they died again...

What of it?

As long as Gu Shen could afford the cost, they could be resurrected repeatedly, charging the battlefield again and again!

"Kill!!!"

Tie Wu’s roar echoed through the Dead Sea; he charged at the forefront, alone, extremely brave, leaving the army far behind.
