Light Fortress Chapter 2111 - 104: The New Lord of Melting Iron

"..."

Mu Wanqiu held the spark and gritted her teeth, "What do you call this, charity to an Apostle?"

"Of course not."

Gu Shen’s expression was extremely serious, "For years, I’ve never considered you a traditional ’Apostle.’ Miss Mu, you are my most respected opponent and the leader better suited for the ’Netherworld Fire.’ Giving this spark to you is the best solution for all human civilization to withstand the Source Material Storm."

In seven years, the Source Material Storm will reach the giant wall.

Mu Wanqiu was naturally aware of this news.

She wanted to contribute her strength, but unfortunately... this natural disaster was too powerful to make a difference on one’s own, unless becoming the Divine Throne.

"You can view it as my gift to you."

Gu Shen said gently, "Thank you for taking on the role of the ’Netherworld King’s Apostle’ and helping me all these years..."

Whether it was the silence of the Ice Sea or fleeing into the void beyond.

Gu Shen had always been a hands-off manager.

The task of liaising golden spike flower intelligence had always been completed by Mu Wanqiu.

In fact, the two Apostles I recruited early on have made remarkable contributions... But when it comes to spark inheritance, Little Iron Man truly can’t handle it, and the Netherworld Fire most likely would not recognize him. Gu Shen understands Shen Li’s personality; even if the spark was given to Shen Li, he would just toss it away as something unlucky.

This spark is a ’thank you’ to Mu Wanqiu.

Gu Shen paused, "If you don’t want to accept this gift, then take it as a sign of ’respect’ from an opponent."

"Respect from... an opponent?"

Mu Wanqiu stood holding the black flame, dazed.

"All this time, haven’t you seen me as the most important opponent?"

Gu Shen smiled, "To defeat me, you must have spent a lot of time, a lot of effort... by refining this spark, you and I can battle again, and perhaps you really have a chance to win against me."

Mu Wanqiu’s eyes brightened.

She stared hard at Gu Shen, sensing something unusual.

Even though he lost the "Netherworld Fire"... terrifyingly, Gu Shen’s aura had not weakened.

At least, the sense of oppression she felt from Gu Shen had not diminished.

She only felt the disaster’s muddy aura on Gu Shen has dissipated greatly! Yet, the Spirit Sea remains unfathomable!

What is this, even confronting the origin didn’t seem to have such powerful suppression?

"If I refine the Netherworld Fire, I’d become the Divine Throne." Mu Wanqiu frowned, "Are you certain, by then you’d be able to battle me?"

"...Maybe."

Gu Shen chuckled, "But there’s one thing I can be sure of, if you don’t refine the Netherworld Fire, no matter how many years you cultivate, you will never be my match."

"???"

This statement infuriated Mu Wanqiu, and she directly pressed the Netherworld Fire into her brow!

The Judge and Netherworld Fire were naturally compatible.

Furthermore, she had been Gu Shen’s Apostle for many years... with a gentle press, the entire mass of Netherworld Fire merged into Mu Wanqiu’s Heart Lake!

The immense shadow of the white-robed Judge emerged, and the attire of this large ghost ignited with an eerie flame. A strong wind blew, causing the dark fire to flicker, transforming the white clothing into pitch black.

"Gu Shen, wait until I finish refining the Netherworld Fire—"

Mu Wanqiu left Spring Rain Temple with the Netherworld Fire to fully begin the refining process.

"Huff... At last, it’s given away."

Gu Shen stood with hands behind, relieved.

Luo Er’s expression was complicated.

Just now, Gu Shen gave away a spark... why does this guy seem happy?

Luo Er recalled a matter, feeling concerned, "The Netherworld Fire carries a lot of ominousness, just like this wouldn’t refining cause issues for Mu Wanqiu?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

"The ’dirty things’ left behind by the previous Netherworld King, I’ve absorbed most of it."

He spoke gently, "Since I’ve already borne the punishment of the ’Soul Oath’, making my Heart Lake a bit dirtier doesn’t matter. What remains for Xiao Qiu is a purely refined Netherworld Fire, she only needs to refine it, and there are almost no negative effects."

Luo Er was moved.

For some reason.

She saw the shadow of Mr. Gu Changzhi in the little junior brother.

"Now... you’ve given away the ’Netherworld Fire’, what’s the next plan?"

"Continue."

Gu Shen looked up at the shimmering sun outside the courtyard.

He softly said, "To allow human civilization to have strength to contend with the ’Super Giant Source Material Storm’ in seven years... we must ensure every spark finds its suitable host. So the next plan is to continue giving out sparks."

Currently, the situation on Five Continents is stable, almost every spark has found its host.

But the "Molten Iron Spark" brought back by Gu Shen from the starship has found no one that can secure its recognition.

So this spark has remained in Gu Shen’s possession.

He gently turned his palm, revealing a faint crimson color as the Chi Huo burned.

"Molten Iron Spark..."

Luo Er furrowed her brow, "Who do you intend to have inherit this spark?"

Human civilization develops differently from Starship civilization.

The crafting technique of sealing items is indeed underdeveloped.

Even the Neutral ones brought by the Ancient Literature Society from Sangzhou Cave are only skilled in ancient literature, unaware of Starship Era’s forging techniques, Heart Flow Power cultivation even more mediocre.

In Luo Er’s view, this spark... across Five Continents, seemingly lacks a suitable successor.

But actually, when Gu Shen saw the Molten Iron Spark for the first time.
