Light Fortress Chapter 2110 - 104: The New Lord of Melting Iron

"Miss Mu?"

Luo Er saw the figure standing in front of the small courtyard of the Spring Rain Temple.

Mu Wanqiu’s expression was still somewhat bewildered.

She didn’t know why... Gu Shen had called her over this time.

She only knew that the news of the Super Giant Source Material Storm had made the upper echelons of the Five Continents re-enter a state of military readiness, and the North Continent was currently in chaos. If it weren’t for Gu Shen’s summon, she would still be dealing with a pile of trivial matters in the Investigation Corps...

It was only Gu Shen who could call her to action.

"Is this... the ’Netherworld Fire’ master you’ve chosen?"

Luo Er’s voice was complex.

This voice entered Mu Wanqiu’s ears, making her even more confused.

"Netherworld’s master? ...Me?"

She stood dumbfounded at the door, pointing at herself.

"That’s right."

Gu Shen said seriously, "This is the Netherworld Fire master I’ve chosen... Mu Wanqiu, don’t look anymore, it’s you."

"???"

Mu Wanqiu was stunned on the spot.

She had traveled thousands of miles to Changye, intending to confront Gu Shen and see what great matter had led him to call her.

But the first sentence upon opening the door completely bewildered her.

"I have violated my ’Soul Oath,’ and as punishment for breaking the oath, I will lose the authority over the Netherworld Fire."

Gu Shen said casually, "I called you here today to give this spark to you."

In the past six hundred years of the Five Continents, such a thing has never occurred.

The Flame Master is still alive, but the spark itself has changed hands!

Mu Wanqiu looked at Gu Shen with a complex expression. Why did she feel that when Gu Shen spoke, his tone was so calm, so indifferent, and even carried a hint of relief and relaxation?

As if the Netherworld King’s Spark was a burden!

This was a spark! A spark!

Outside, countless people would fight and bleed for this spark.

Gu Shen extended two fingers.

He gently tapped the flame on his brow, simultaneously activating the Heart Flow Power, causing agitation and separation.

Wrapped within the Chi Huo, the black flame, almost integrated with the Chi Huo, trembled at an extremely high frequency!

Adding "spark" to the Soul Oath was actually a trap Gu Shen had set for Deep Sea.

Even if Deep Sea hadn’t mentioned it at the time, Gu Shen would have included it.

To him...

The Netherworld Fire was indeed a trouble, a burden.

The originally intertwined flames, difficult to separate, began to detach and peel under the fate-driven Soul Oath, and moments later, Gu Shen extracted the dark Netherworld Fire fully.

"Swish!"

The black flame on Gu Shen’s brow completely dissipated!

At this moment, he was no longer the exalted "Netherworld King Divine Throne."

For six hundred years, there had been many divine thrones that relied on sparks to achieve a leap in the level of life, but...

To regress to the mundane, Gu Shen was the only one.

"This spark... is now yours."

Gu Shen smiled as he picked up the dark flame and tossed it in front of Mu Wanqiu.

Mu Wanqiu stood frozen, instinctively reaching out to cup the flame. Even now she couldn’t comprehend how the spark had come to her in just a few seconds, but she could clearly feel... the "Angel Envoy connection" between her and Gu Shen weakening rapidly, eventually dissipating into smoke.

The Netherworld King’s Spark truly became "ownerless!"

Yes, the Netherworld King chosen by Gu Shen was Mu Wanqiu, ever since they met during the Duolu River mission, Gu Shen had chosen her.

Both were S-level Transcendents.

[Judge] was actually more compatible with the Netherworld King’s Spark than Chi Huo.

"You really abandoned the Netherworld Fire... little junior brother, are you crazy?"

Luo Er looked at this scene in disbelief.

The power of the spark is the supreme temptation in the world, countless Transcendents dream of obtaining and fusing with a spark...

She knew that her little junior brother was always different.

Luo Er wasn’t surprised that Gu Shen didn’t care about the Netherworld Fire.

The reason she couldn’t comprehend was...

If Gu Shen abandoned the Netherworld Fire, how would he face the Super Giant Storm seven years later?

"Senior sister. Abandoning the Netherworld Fire is merely the first step of the ’best strategy.’"

Gu Shen said gently, "Where there is gain, there is loss... Some things can only be better obtained through loss."

He looked at Mu Wanqiu and said, "Have the matters in the North Continent been arranged properly?"

"Mm..."

Mu Wanqiu’s voice was small, she tightly clutched the spark, gradually regaining her clarity: "The rebuilding work on the giant wall is underway, it will take at least five years to integrate all the Black Silver into the walls. Additionally, three starships have been settled at the Gu Castle Battlefield, as for the time dojo’s array patterns issue... Mr. Rust Bone is handling it."

"Very good."

Gu Shen nodded.

"Gu Shen—"

Mu Wanqiu suddenly spoke, gritting her teeth and asked: "Are you really giving me the Netherworld Fire?"

Although it had been years since she became Gu Shen’s Angel Envoy.

But deep down, Mu Wanqiu had always held regrets.

She actually pondered whether she would become the new Netherworld King without Gu Shen.

Such thoughts were only natural.

During Gu Shen’s era of dominance, she also shone brightly, if it were another era, then she would indeed have become the "Netherworld King."

But unfortunately, she encountered Gu Shen.

Mu Wanqiu could afford to lose, she asked her heart, knowing she was no match for Gu Shen, yet if given another chance, she would still choose to compete with Gu Shen!

"What are you talking about?"

Gu Shen shook his head, calmly saying: "The Netherworld Fire is now yours."
