Light Fortress

Even if one day it becomes unusable.

It’s still a hefty bargaining chip.

"So... I speculate that [Deep Sea] has transferred the spirit of the taker to an unknown Spiritual Sea Domain, theoretically speaking, as long as the soul is released, they can recover."

Bai Xiu’s body stiffened, looking at Gu Shen with disbelief.

"So, does Mr. Silver Fox have a chance to ’live’ again?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen spoke with great determination: "But the premise is... we win this war."

"Silver Fox, along with the Black Snow Mountain Giant... Now, outside the Northern Border, there are two origin forces stationed."

"Inside Central Continent, there are also ’pseudo-origin’ beings gifted with authority."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows, smiled a bit, and said: "Originally, I hoped you and Xiaoman would leave here with me. Now it seems, you might have to stay on the Five Continents."

"?"

Bai Xiu’s pupils slightly contracted.

"The war at the Northern Border requires the ’Initial Number’. With the power of the Three-Continents Alliance, it’s hard to resist the offensive of the Traveler Tribe under the current situation."

Gu Shen has already transmitted the image of the traveler reproduction to the Initial Number.

That scene of the egg sac hatching...

Once transmitted to the high levels of the Three-Continents Alliance, it will definitely cause shock.

Among the Five Continents, there are many hypotheses about "travelers," but all hypotheses share a common point... travelers are "tribe members" abandoned during a human journey six hundred years ago, a branch of human civilization, tracing back to the origin, they are "brothers" of Five Continents Civilization.

But now the reproduction methods of these sacrificial beings have nothing to do with humans.

This is entirely a separate species.

Instead, it’s the Traveler Tribe’s few "High Order Extraordinary Life" that still retain some human traits.

"Gu Shen, what do you mean..."

Bai Xiu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The target of [Deep Sea] is me. If I stay on the Initial Number, you will only get implicated."

Gu Shen spoke in a deep voice: "Alf, prepare a micro spacecraft for me, and activate Initial Number, with the destination set for Gu Castle Fortress. You need to blockade the fracture point at Gu Castle Fortress, complete convergence with the Northern Border before the Traveler Tribe launches a siege. I will lure away the enemy."

"Gu Shen! Are you crazy?!"

Alfred roared angrily: "I left East Sea to trace the footsteps of the Master!"

"You should know what kind of existence the adversary of human civilization is at the moment?"

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Deep Sea has known the existence of ’Initial Number’ for a long time, Storm God’s Throne being trapped in Ice Sea for seven years wasn’t an accident, Silver Fox simply would never touch the Initial Number now, nor would he get trapped by a time restraint... it only takes one origin to make Initial Number immobile."

Alf remained silent.

Currently, the Traveler Tribe is fully descending upon the Northern Border.

Under such circumstances...

It’s very difficult for Initial Number to escape, that origin strong person named "Silver Fox," although he’s currently unable to cause substantial harm to Initial Number, every strike he makes consumes Initial Number’s reserve energy!

Once sailing into the depths of the [Old World], it’s really unconfident to shake off the enemy.

[Deep Sea] possesses the gate technology of the Traveler Tribe, and in addition, Silver Fox’s origin power is related to space!

"You want to lure Silver Fox away..."

Bai Xiu frowned and looked at Gu Shen.

For now, Gu Shen has only unlocked part of the restrictions.

Not to mention facing off against an origin, this true form is barely capable of dealing with a titled being.

"By linking to Red Shadows using ’Heart Flow Power,’ each Red Shadow can unleash maximum combat capability... you should have seen that battle at Gu Castle Fortress, right? I’m not as fragile as you think."

At Gu Castle Fortress, Gu Shen maneuvered seven Red Shadows, encircling and killing a Gray-Winged Transcendent Life comparable to High Order Sealing.

That battle was indeed awe-inspiring.

With the small battling the large, the few against the many.

Gu Shen’s use of "Heart Flow Power" far surpassed other Transcendents of the Five Continents.

"Your Heart Flow Power is certainly formidable, but no matter how formidable, Red Shadow and Silver Fox are fundamentally not on the same level of combat power—"

Bai Xiu took a deep breath and solemnly said: "If you’re determined to go, I’ll go with you. I am familiar with Silver Fox’s abilities!"

"If you go with me, what about Xiaoman?"

Gu Shen spoke leisurely.

Bai Xiu suddenly fell silent.

If possible...

He was willing to lure Silver Fox away for Gu Shen, but [Deep Sea]’s target is not him, even if he leaves Initial Number, he won’t attract the firepower of the Traveler Tribe.

"Xiaoman needs growth, the war at the Northern Border is the best growth."

Gu Shen reached out, attempting to pat Little Xiuzi’s shoulder.

The scene suddenly quieted for two seconds.

Because Gu Shen’s height wasn’t enough, even when he annoyedly tiptoed, it was still a bit short.

Bai Xiu empathetically squatted down, and patted Gu Shen’s shoulder: "I know what you want to say... but nonetheless, I cannot watch you go to die again."

"What’s that supposed to mean? What do you mean again go to die?"

Gu Shen laughed and cursed: "Did I die many times?"

There was no smile in Little Xiuzi’s eyes; the words he just said were sincere.

Gu Shen could only helplessly touch his nose.

Alright...

He admitted, he indeed died several times.

But now isn’t the time for sentimentality, Little Xiuzi squatted down, Gu Shen stretched out one hand to press on the latter’s shoulder, meaningfully said: "This time, I won’t die again... I will come back alive."

Bai Xiu was just about to say something, but suddenly there was a roaring sound beside his ears.

A micro spacecraft left from the Starship Civilization Era emerged from the snowfield fog of the biotic environment, landing beside Gu Shen.

Seeing this spacecraft, Little Xiuzi’s expression changed.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Alf?"

"I apologize..."

Alf’s voice was exceptionally calm: "But this is indeed the optimal solution; the attacks Silver Fox makes against Initial Number have already caused a 3% total energy consumption. If we keep stalling, we will all be worn to death."

Bai Xiu didn’t want to see this situation.

Nor did he?

For Alf, being besieged by travelers is exceptionally bad news.

Because it was originally an "outsider."

Alf has always been very cautious, deliberately waiting until Storm God’s Throne moved south to leave. Then it participated in this war.

"Alf, being caught in the game... this matter is my fault to you."

Seeing the spacecraft, Gu Shen spoke lightly.

"What’s the point of saying these?"

Alf spoke angrily and sighed softly: "You haven’t wronged me... everything is driven by destiny."

It is no longer that cold starship AI.

After conversing with the Lord of Love, it decided to leave East Sea. At that time, Alf had prepared for the worst.

Perhaps the current situation is indeed inevitable upon leaving East Sea.

For years, it has been hibernating on the sea floor of Five Continents Civilization, silently observing the growth and rise of this civilization. Unknowingly, it has become a part of this civilization.

Now the war flames ignite; how can it simply withdraw and stand aloof?

Gu Shen took a deep breath and came to the spacecraft.

"Gu Shen, before you leave, I want to ask you a question."

Alf’s voice sounded amid the wind and snow.

Gu Shen raised his eyebrow.

"Please speak."

"Do you have the confidence to come back alive?"

Alf asked seriously: "Alive... and bringing back hope."

The action of Gu Shen opening the cabin door paused slightly.

Perhaps it’s a spiritual sense from deep within...

Or perhaps it’s a super strong premonition given by Chi Huo...

Before maneuvering Red Shadow, stepping into Traveler’s Gate, Gu Shen already had an ominous premonition.

He knew negotiations with [Deep Sea] were destined to collapse.

Yet he still decided to step through that door.

If most things in this world are determined by destiny, no matter how hard you try, it cannot be changed...

Then this thing about "living."

Gu Shen still wants to try his best.

"Certainly."

Gu Shen opened the cabin door, and softly said: "I will live, and bring hope back..."

A series of azure flames erupted within the Initial Number’s snowfield bio-environment.

Bai Xiu and Gu Xiaoman looked up, watching the distant sky where a brilliant blue line reached out like a sword.
