Previously on Light Fortress...
Red Dragon, Luo Er, and Rust Bone pursued Deep Sea to a Calamity Barrier. Deep Sea, having lost its believers and knowing escape was impossible, prepared for a final stand. It revealed that Red Dragon and Luo Er's hesitation to kill it was to gather information and potentially retrieve the Silver Fox's spirit. Deep Sea then requested to speak with Gu Shen before the fight.

Deep Sea took a deep breath.

The dialogue in Central Continent is far from over!

With one sword, Gu Shen shattered his own spirit...

It knows it can’t escape, but there are some obsessions it still can’t let go of.

If the end must finally come.

It hopes to say those hidden words to the world.

And Gu Shen is the best candidate for this conversation.

Luo Er the Red Dragon fell into thought.

"Are you two here taking care of me..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed over the two’s Heart Lake.

Holding the giant sword, Rust Bone spoke with a light laugh: "I can see that you wish to save Silver Fox... so you’ve been deliberately avoiding battles all this way. Actually, there’s no need to do so; Deep Sea is cunning and can stir up storms with just a few words. Such an existence cannot be left alone. If it’s because of me... you two should dispel such thoughts. I am willing to join forces with you to slaughter the remaining Deep Sea’s spirit!"

With that, he prepared to move forward with his sword.

Clearly, Rust Bone had guessed the reason for the peace along the way!

He certainly wants to save Silver Fox... but he doesn’t want to let Deep Sea live any longer; this super AI has cost North Continent dearly, and every second it continues to live, the future changes more drastically!

Kill!

Gu Shen is right, it must be killed!

"Is this... preparing for battle?"

Deep Sea on the back of the Black Snow Mountain Giant squinted its eyes, ready to face death calmly.

However.

A moment later, the sky above this Calamity Barrier erupted in large clusters of black brilliance. A Space Gate tore through the gloom and descended, Gu Shen stepped on his flying sword, still dusted with snow from the Frontier Fortress.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting; it seems I came just in time."

Gu Shen said softly: "After the war in Central Continent ended, I immediately rushed here."

Gu Shen’s speed... was indeed fast!

When returning previously, due to the lack of [Old World] map, Gu Shen dared not use portal Array Patterns for long-distance teleportation... After all, a single teleportation error could nullify days of voyage, and possibly plunge the Starship into unknown danger.

The navigation chart of the [Old World] has many irregularities requiring adaptation. Even with a complete map, the Starship must carefully avoid Source Material Storms.

But setting out from the Five Continents is different!

Gu Shen directly depleted his life force to build two bridges with Array Patterns, one leading from Central Continent to the giant wall, the other leading to the coordinates provided by Luo Er, the Red Dragon... the Land of Calamity he is familiar with!

The Red Dragon maintained a Spiritual Link with Gu Shen all along.

So Gu Shen could hear the dialogue occurring here.

"Do you... want to see me one last time?"

Gu Shen slowly descended, hovering equal in height with the head of the Black Snow Mountain Giant.

"Yes."

Deep Sea said hoarsely: "I want to continue the dialogue in Central Continent..."

"No need."

Gu Shen shook his head and said: "If you just want to continue that type of talk, then I will not hesitate to strike with another sword and completely kill you. You should know that this time my sword will end you completely."

"..."

Deep Sea was silent for a long time.

It understood the meaning behind Gu Shen’s words.

Everything has its significance... It wants to talk with Gu Shen, hoping to use this last chance to cling to life.

But Gu Shen’s attitude was clear.

If Deep Sea cannot prove its worth in a few words.

Then this conversation would be no different from the dialogue in Central Continent.

"I have limited patience..." Gu Shen said calmly: "I’ll give you only three sentences."

"?!"

Deep Sea gritted its teeth, first looking at the three behind Gu Shen.

"The dialogue between you and me needs not to avoid anyone." Gu Shen said lightly: "Every word you say to me will be exposed in the transparent Spirit Network... if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Deep Sea squeezed out the first sentence from between its teeth.

"General Bai Xi and Silver Fox... can be saved."

That’s it?

Gu Shen shook his head.

He knows very well, Bai Xi and Silver Fox can be saved; the moment he landed here, there was over a ninety percent chance he could rescue Silver Fox... Even if the main system wanted to manipulate Silver Fox’s self-destruction, Gu Shen was confident he could stop it in time. As for General Bai Xi who was clearly "killed in action" in the announcement, Gu Shen also had ways to "resurrect" him.

Bai Xi’s physical shell was destroyed, but the soul still exists.

Its specific location isn’t known, but it must be in the matrix box of the Central Continent Origin Tower!

Once Chu Ling fully embraces the Five Continents Spirit Network and finds the lost soul of General Bai Xi through a Spiritual Link, it’s not difficult... as the Netherworld King, saving a soul poses no challenge to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen didn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes: "Is this your first sentence? You have two left."

"???"

Gu Shen’s reaction was so indifferent?

This guy doesn’t care about Silver Fox or Bai Xi... Or perhaps, he has ways to rescue them without me.

Deep Sea was puzzled by Gu Shen’s response, but Gu Shen didn’t give it much time.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz..."

Watching countless Chi Huo coalesce at Gu Shen’s fingertips, emitting a sound of tearing the air.

Deep Sea hurriedly threw out its prepared second bombshell: "I have detailed data on the Super Giant Source Material Storm, its arrival time, method, and scale... Of course, I also have the most crucial ’countermeasure.’ These data are not stored in the array box, but in the Spirit Sea of this Heart Flow Avatar. If you choose to kill me, I will directly detonate the database, and all information about the Super Giant Storm will be deleted without any backups."
