Light Fortress Chapter 2125: War Against [Destiny]_4

“So, what I just mentioned as a ‘guess’ is not a ‘guess.’ I know this is the ‘truth.'”

Gu Shen smiled and said, “This is the ‘reality’ I see.”

“Gu Shen…”

Turing’s expression was quite complex.

He softly said, “Your current life level has already surpassed the Divine Throne, combined with the unprecedented twelve embers. If you desire, you have a great chance to tear through this world’s barriers, break through the Skytop, and leave here.”

“Through [Destiny], I have seen so many things.”

Gu Shen gently said, “There are things that humanity cannot achieve now, but will soon be able to. Someday, everyone can sit on starships, go beyond the Skytop together, and leave here together…”

“But before that day comes, a Super Giant Storm will descend.”

Turing said, “At least let one person survive, right?”

“I do not wish to live alone.”

Gu Shen shook his head, “If that lone survivor were me, I would rather die. So… I refuse to fuse the twelve embers. If we are to live, then everyone shall live together, I live, Chu Ling lives, the Twelve Divine Thrones, billions of people on the Five Continents all live together.”

Gu Shen said expressionlessly, “In my view, since the highest thing above this Skytop is called [Destiny], then if [Destiny] declares war on humanity, humanity should fire back.”

Turing sighed deeply, “Opposing destiny, humanity will die. Source Material Storms are unbeatable, even if you take the Twelve Divine Thrones to confront them… the one who ultimately survives might only be you.”

“But that’s just how stupid humanity is.”

Gu Shen grinned, “Humans can die standing, but never live kneeling.”

“…” Turing wanted to say more.

Beside him, Gu Shen suddenly stood up, and his figure gave him an unprecedented sense of “grandeur.”

Seven years absent.

Gu Shen had grown taller, no… to be precise, Gu Shen hadn’t grown taller; he had completely changed his “appearance.”

Standing within the river of time, on par with destiny.

This is the true way to break the Divine Infant’s shackles.

The current Gu Shen has transcended beyond the Divine Throne, evolved into an indescribable other form of life, where “time” pauses on him. He can be a child, an elder, a youth… ultimately, Gu Shen chooses to freeze his appearance and bone structure at the age he first met Chu Ling, his spirit as deep as the ocean yet as brilliantly bright as the world’s most dazzling light.

Earlier, when Turing looked at Gu Shen, he only felt that the flame between Gu Shen’s brows was too intense.

This time, he realized.

Within the flame between Gu Shen’s brows resided so much, so much.

Inside there, he saw the spiritual radiance of billions of people, each person casting their own piece of spiritual fragment into that blaze between the brows… one piece, two pieces, insignificant, yet when billions of fragments converge together, they become an unstoppable torrent.

Turing murmured to himself, “The twelfth upgrade…”

“Perhaps the thirteenth?”

Gu Shen spoke with a smile, “The distant drums of war are about to sound. Over these seven years, I couldn’t possibly have done nothing… Compared to secluded cultivation in the Time Dojo, there are more important things outside for me to attend to.”

Chu Ling completely took over [Deep Sea], gathering the spiritual power of every citizen across the Five Continents, using seven years to accumulate everyone’s strength, for a spiritual-level upgrade.

And after this…

She chose to merge her spirit into Gu Shen’s spirit.

The former main system nearly completed the twelfth upgrade by enclosing just a part of the Central Continent.

Now the entire Five Continents, after seven years of integration, is at the critical juncture of the thirteenth upgrade.

Turing’s expression was dazed.

“So… Chu Ling’s departure was to perform the thirteenth upgrade?”

“Her departure matters not, for I am her eyes, and she is mine.”

Gu Shen did not answer this question; he smiled slightly and countered, “Haven’t you noticed that I am completely unafraid of the arrival of the Super Giant Source Material Storm?”

Of course, Turing noticed.

Whether it’s the Hunter God, Iron Dome, or Gu Changzhi…

When facing the Super Giant Storm, they would all feel anxious, feel scared; it’s unavoidable.

But Gu Shen is different from them all.

He suddenly realized something… Gu Shen spent seven years traveling through every corner of the Five Continents.

And Gu Shen just mentioned, there are more important things than secluded cultivation in the Time Dojo.

“Creator…”

Turing uttered these three words.

He understood what Gu Shen and Chu Ling had been doing these seven years.

On the ground, faint red radiance flared, and when Gu Shen stood up, an invisible force rapidly spread, using the place where the two were standing in Changye as the center, reaching further.

Jiangbei, East Continent, all of the Five Continents, even including the Ice Sea.

Every inch of land Gu Shen passed in those seven years was enveloped and encompassed by this invisible force.

This is Gu Shen’s [Creator] realm, an independent world more perfect, more complete than the [Pure Land].

“Because I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants, I am taller than any prior giant.”

“Having completed the highest level of life evolution… I’ve even started anticipating the arrival of this storm.”

Gu Shen stood with hands behind his back, looking northward, his gaze crossing countless lines of fate.

Beyond the North Continent Giant Wall, countless chaotic source materials mixed together.

From the moment he could see [Destiny], he could see that countdown looming over all of humanity.

“I gave up fusing the embers not just because I don’t want to live alone.”

“But also because… I’m confident enough, even now, to lead humanity to win this battle.”

…

…

In the void, a violent tremor echoed.

“Screeetch!”

A strand of snow-white source essence breath slashed through the space like a sharp blade, followed by countless strands of white chaotic breath crashing like torrents, instantly shredding the floating land in the void. The storm tore through the space, expanding rapidly, suddenly forming a dazzling “light ball.”

The detectors outside the umbrella’s defensive line captured the anomaly at the first moment.

This anomaly transmitted to the giant wall, then to the starship, all in less than point one second.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

The “alarm signal” humanity waited seven years for sounded at this moment.

Massive Source Energy Boats ascended, and the starships dormant on the ground woke as well.

Over seven years, the giant wall defenses had been widened and thickened several times.

Brilliant flames broke through the clouds, space condensed and shattered outside the giant wall, and starships stepped forward to intercept ahead of the Source Energy Boats.

Each origin and Angel Envoy left the line of defense, standing before the starships.

Rusty Bone, Silver Fox, Bai Xie, Aluer, Song Ci, Shen Li…

Just as they were ready to face that Source Material Storm.

The void trembled.

A figure, with a woman, crossed mountains and rivers, emerging from the Space Gate.

“Everyone… long time no see.”

Gu Shen softly spoke, his voice resonating in the heart lake of everyone on the giant wall defense, providing great safety and security.

Behind the tear he made in the Space Gate, numerous figures emerged.

Gu Nanfeng, Meng Xizhou, Mu Wanqiu, Red Dragon, Bai Shu, Lin Lei, the traveller, Xie Zheng, Luo Er, Gu Xiaoman.

Lastly, Bai Xiu.

The giant wall became even more “grand” with the arrival of these people.

An insurmountable Light Fortress, at this moment, gathered and rose.

The day the Super Giant Storm arrived… the entire world grew incredibly silent.

The wind roared.

The white light at the Skytop abruptly became immense, like a sun.

Gu Shen looked expressionlessly at that sun.

He reached out a hand.

“Clang!”

A thousand miles away, the Tundra sword moved.

The Heavenly Sheath shattered, instantly collapsing and disintegrating, countless stone fragments shattered, and a Flowing Fire sword shape crossed innumerable distances, swiftly entering Gu Shen’s palm.

Gu Shen grasped the long sword and rushed out first, the sword tip piercing the snow-white light mass almost compressing the entire Skytop.

Following closely were the Twelve Divine Thrones.

Behind them were the Angels, origins, starships, Source Energy Boats, and the Traveler Tribe, the four great legions, the five great families, the Light Temple…

New Calendar 660.

The Super Giant Storm arrived at the Northern Continent Border.

Humanity, declared war on [Destiny].
