Bulwark of Light

Chapter 378 The roar of the storm

Sunset Moonrise.

The setting sun this time was not as beautiful as last time. The vast expanse of wilderness was still damp, and the soaring grass blades were spread out on a mat. Gu Shen and Chu Ling were sitting on the suspended straw mat.

"This world is still a bit barren."

Gu Shen spoke with some regret.

After comprehending one's own way in the Grain Rain Scroll...the four seasons wilderness has changed.

"I think it's pretty pretty..."

The girl propped her hands back on the straw mat, and when she laughed, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons.

Chu Ling watched the sunset.

Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling.

Two people just sitting like this... The world is very quiet, but they are not alone.

At the end of the wilderness in the distance, there is still a lonely wandering soul standing.

Tie Wu was holding a shovel in both hands, and he didn't feel lonely alone. Instead, when he saw the straw mat swaying back and forth in the sunset and twilight, he felt warm in his heart.

He looked gratified and said with emotion: "As expected of the Lord God, what a good eye..."

That Miss Chu Lingchu is the most "beautiful" woman I have ever seen.

Follow Dionysus for many years.

Traveling across the continents, what kind of person has he never met?There are countless beauties who follow the name of the gods and dedicate themselves. Tie Wu has seen countless beautiful skins.

But Chu Ling is different from those people.

That girl exuded an indescribable ethereal aura.

No matter how beautiful the beauties in this world are, they are just ordinary skins after all.

But the feeling of seeing Chu Ling...is like seeing a "goddess" who shouldn't appear in the world.

Hmm... Goddess.

This adjective is apt.

"Okay...it's time to work!" Tie Wu looked away, took a deep breath, and swung the shovel again.

……

……

"You said... Will there really be a day when I can come to the outside world?"

Chu Ling sat on the straw mat, and the straw mat swayed with the wind, and she swayed with the wind.

"Of course." Gu Shen replied without any hesitation.

The wind blew her hair.

The two of them were very close... Gu Shen could feel the slender strands of hair brushing against his cheeks, a little itchy, it was clearly in the spiritual world, where there shouldn't be a sense of smell, but he smelled a fragrance.

Chu Ling exuded a faint fragrance all over his body.

In fact, before many questions are asked, the questioner knows that there is no answer to this question.

But Gu Shen knew.

It must be a great encouragement to get a "yes" answer without hesitation.

Sure enough... Chu Ling smiled.

"[Deep Sea]'s database can calculate everything in this world... but it can't calculate the future." She leaned back, lying on the straw mat, blown by the breeze, as if lying in the undulating tide of the sea , looked sideways at Gu Shen, and said with a smile: "I know very well that no one can give an answer about the future... But after hearing your answer, I feel more confidence in my heart for no reason."

"Don't forget, I am the heir of 'divination'." Gu Shen smiled and said seriously: "Who says I can't see the future?"

"The successor of divination..." Chu Ling smiled even more happily, "It's okay to deceive those little girls outside, I know your details."

Gu Shen shrugged helplessly.

"You know what? I'm not trying to comfort you."

He also lay down, closed his eyes, and smiled comfortably: "I'm serious... Maybe I can't give a reason, but I just know that you will come to this world."

Before the divine fetal link happened.

That's what he said.

Chu Ling was slightly surprised, she was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Why do you believe so... this should be absurd thing?"

"Yeah... the [source code] of the virtual world is reborn in the physical world, which is really absurd."

Gu Shen said so.

With his eyes closed, he could feel the fading away of the setting sun bit by bit, the night rising from the wilderness, and the dark cool wind blowing by, even if he closed his eyelids, he could still feel the touch of the night when it came.

He opened his eyes, and asked in high spirits: "But what else in this world is more absurd than me meeting you?"

Chu Ling did not expect such an answer.

Yes.

She is 【Source Code】, in her opinion, the world has never changed.

She has been at the center of the world, exhausting the data, searching for the [key] of the Ancient Literature Society.

But for Gu Shen, after meeting Chu Ling, the world he understood changed overnight.

"Since this world can have extraordinary power, fire, and a huge wall that separates the black spots...then why can't you come to this world?" Gu Shen said slowly: "Perhaps, the world we see is still incomplete."

Chu Ling laughed in a low voice, and said, "I remembered the warning that Mr. Turing left in the [Deep Sea] database."

"Warning?"

"The only constant in this world... is change." Chu Ling murmured: "From a macro perspective, [deep sea] can deduce every ebb and flow of the tide, but it is impossible to calculate the amount of water droplets at each high tide. How many pieces, from a microscopic point of view, [Deep Sea] can control a person's emotions and thoughts through spiritual links, but cannot control the decay and regeneration of every cell in his body, the secretion and metabolism of hormones and enzymes in every organ. We control everything , we have nothing to control."

"Has Mr. Turing ever left such a warning?" Gu Shen was a little surprised, took a closer look, and muttered, "Is it a bit too long?"

"I made the latter impromptu." Chu Ling smiled, "His warning is only the first sentence... Don't you think that the current human beings rely too much on [deep sea]?"

these years.

[Source Code] Struggling to survive in the rapid iterative update of the deep sea, before encountering the [Key], it can only protect itself with difficulty.

She witnessed the spiritual network spread across five continents.

The era of the extraordinary has come silently.

Humans own the [deep sea] and everything.

But in fact, as a part of [Deep Sea], Chu Ling knows that... human beings actually have nothing.

Gu Shen nodded slowly.

"As an ordinary person... I must declare that I admire Mr. Turing's foresight. [The deep sea] is the greatest invention in human history."

Gu Shen said softly: "But too many people are immersed in the [deep sea]..."

The construction of a large database requires every extraordinary person to contribute computing power.

In addition, every commoner in the five continents, the world they live in, under the cover of the [deep sea], there is only a virtual curtain left.

What they saw was what [Deep Sea] let them see.

What they heard was what [Deep Sea] let them hear.

Not so much... Humans are using [Deep Sea].

It's better to say... [Deep Sea] is feeding humans.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
"Since [Deep Sea] came out, the proportion of mental out-of-control has been greatly reduced." Chu Ling said softly: "The federal government believes that extraordinary people can link to the deep-water area network and conduct extraordinary trials, which can not only enhance their own strength, but also reduce the risk of losing control... "

Gu Shen knew the reason.

Trials in the deep water area will hardly be contaminated with ominous.

However, the transcendents of those previous eras followed the path of self-exploration... The risk of losing control is very high, and if they are contaminated with ominous conditions and cannot be tamed, they may become "disasters".

So in the previous era, the Transcendent organization was far from being as large as it is now. Members of the secret party sometimes shouldered the responsibility of taking the life of their companion...if that companion lost control of his mind.

[Deep Sea] Links five continents.

The number of extraordinary people began to increase greatly.

The ecological balance of hundreds of years seems to have been broken... At present, the federal government calls Alan Turing the greatest hero in human history, because he pressed the "accelerator button", but after a few years, maybe he will no longer A hero, not a sinner.

From a macro perspective of history, the end of the development of all things is destruction, and at this time, acceleration... is equal to destruction.

"Mr. Gu Qilin showed the 'ominousness' behind him in the field of Wuliang Scale... I saw a huge mural full of evil spirits. It is not so much ominous as it is glory and meritorious service."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes and said, "Except for those warriors from Beizhou...it seems that extraordinary people are not so... fierce anymore."

"Losing your humanity, you lose a lot. Losing your bestiality, you lose everything."

Chu Lingyan said succinctly: "This sentence is very good, and it is very appropriate to use here. It is an excerpt from a novel I read recently."

"I've read that one too..." Gu Shen's eyes lit up with surprise, and he said seriously, "I also think it's well written."

"Wait a minute..."

Gu Shen sat up, his eyes became a little strange, "Do you usually look at that kind of thing?"

It reminded me of Chu Ling's posture sitting in Linglingyao's carriage.

She always holds a thick ancient book.

Gu Shen thought that what was contained in that volume of ancient books were all the huge knowledge entered into the database by human beings, astronomy, geography, history and biology.

"Most of the time... I'm watching this kind of stuff." Chu Ling tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion, "Is there any problem with this?"

"No matter when, knowledge is boring... For me, the things in the database are information. At the beginning, I was just an emotionless [source code], watching those knowledge information, there will be no Emotional fluctuations." Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Forgive me...I can't feel empathy, and it's hard for me to build a civilizational history view for human beings for hundreds of years, and I feel shocked from the bottom of my heart."

Very frankly.

Because in front of [Deep Sea], all this knowledge is a product of the previous era.

The predecessors spent a lot of energy to verify the conclusion, [Deep Sea] can complete the answer in just a moment... This is indeed the effort of countless people, but it is indeed no longer "great" now.

"Soon... I finished reading the knowledge in the database."

Chu Ling smiled, "For you, those obscure theories should be difficult to understand, right? For me...it's different. No matter how complicated the theorems are, it only takes a moment to verify whether they are right or wrong. You only need to memorize it after the proof is established, and you can quickly complete the establishment of the knowledge system."

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

"What's more... Under the interference of extraordinary power, physics, mathematics, and all disciplines in the macro sense have collapsed to the point of no longer existing. The original knowledge is only applicable to exploration under the 'non-extraordinary system'."

Chu Ling said: "Since then... I started to read some interesting books. I have to say, they are really good to read."

Interesting read.

Very interesting description.

Questions that are confusing and difficult for human beings... For Chu Ling, they are easy to handle.

But she can immerse herself in those "interesting reading materials" for a long time.

Because she can't understand the world of "people".

The code can compose the most sophisticated instrument in the world, but it cannot make the soul in this instrument understand what is human romance.

"I don't know when it started, I suddenly had an idea, maybe one day, I can sit under the shade of the trees in the small courtyard, holding a real book."

Chu Ling said softly, "For a long time, I thought... this was just my fantasy."

But look now.

All of this is really possible...to become a reality.

"If there is such a day, what do you want to do?" Gu Shen asked with a smile.

"I want to go to the alley beside Lipu Street in Dadu." Chu Ling said without thinking.

"Why where?" Gu Shen was a little puzzled.

"Tell me, the sweet potatoes there are delicious." Chu Ling said seriously: "I want to try it...there is also the hot pot in Dayeng City, the mutton in the alley of the Forbidden Snow City, I want to go to the outside world As soon as I left, I wanted to see if the light energy could be caught, and the wind energy could be left behind, and I wanted to watch the snow melt bit by bit, and the moon rise and set..."

The girl spoke seriously.

Gu Shen who asked this question suddenly felt a little regretful.

Chu Ling spoke more seriously.

Gu Shen felt even more uneasy.

He heard Chu Ling talking about her longing for the outside world bit by bit, talking about things that she had seen countless times but never touched... her thoughts spread uncontrollably.

The scariest thing in this world is not setbacks, not failures.

But the great "hope".

When a person has never seen the light, she is not afraid of the dark.

But the most frightening thing is falling off a cliff by a hair's breadth.

Gu Shen secretly made up his mind... No matter what, he would do his best to let the divine fetus of Shenci Mountain hatch smoothly.

He took a light breath.

This action was noticed by Chu Ling.

The girl's voice stopped abruptly.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Actually, those...what I said are not that important...don't worry about it."

She tried opening her eyes in well water.

Only a short second.

But she knew... That second was enough to prove that the possibility of her coming existed.

"Staying in Lingyao's car, it should be difficult to learn such things as romance?" Chu Ling said calmly and seriously: "What I want to say is... In fact, I have already prepared for the worst... It doesn’t matter if the data link fails and you can only come to this world for a minute. As long as I can do one thing, it’s fine.”

Gu Shen was startled.

"I want to take a look at you...in a real sense."

Chu Ling smiled and said: "The kind that can be touched, that can feel the temperature..."

Gu Shen let out a long sigh, and said, "I should have read a lot in the days before..."

Chu Ling quietly waited for the next article.

"I haven't seen it before, it's more romantic than yours." Gu Shen said seriously: "It's in your hands, I admit it."

Chu Ling smiled happily.

The two tumbled together.

Looking closely at each other.

"I just noticed...Although you are comforting me, you don't have the confidence in your heart." Chu Ling wrapped his arms around the back of Gu Shen's neck and said softly, "You don't know...what the future will be like. "

Gu Shen looked at those smiling eyes.

"So... I actually understand everything."

Chu Ling's voice was very soft.

"We're all going to have moments of disappointment with the 'now'... if there is one more person who can say that the future is going to be good, then the future... will be really good."

The sunset falls to the horizon.

Tie Wu, who was wielding a shovel, wiped off his sweat, looked into the distance, and babbled in surprise.

Twilight falls.

Moonlight rises.

There should be two shadows enjoying the bright moon in the distance... Why did Yuantian's vision become blurred?
Did Lord God block the sky?

……

……

A huge god statue stands in the middle of Nanzhou Sea.

The sky is gloomy, with dark clouds.

The stormy sea beat.

This statue is like a mountain, isolated above the sea, even though the huge waves wash away, it still remains motionless.

The tens of meters high tide can only beat the hem of the statue's robe.

Amidst the huge waves, a ship struggled and heaved, and the dropped iron anchor broke and shattered. The heavy roar of the engine seemed insignificant under the roar of the sea water. This ship was like a broken leaf, which might be swallowed by the tide at any time...

On the deck, there are dozens of believers in ancient robes kneeling.

They prayed in the raging waves of the sea, calmed in the raging waves, and recited obscure scriptures.

Accompanied by a thunderbolt.

The dark sky was torn apart by the majestic thunder.

Tens of thousands of tons of sea water seemed to be solidified at this moment, and the huge eddy of several thousand meters showed the shape of a scattered ocean tornado, slowly rotating around the huge statue.

The dead statue seems to have life, hearing the chanting of the believers on the ship.

There was a blazing glow in "his" eyes.

The extremely noisy world became silent at this moment.

The storm and sea water quickly condensed on the head of the god statue, forming a "human figure" with the same clothes as the god statue. His face was blurred. Standing at the highest point of this world, he only needs to lower his head slightly, and he can overlook and see all the creatures on the sea. .

The believers on the ship raised their heads.

They looked very surprised, even maddened, even though the "human figure" on the statue was very small.

But they still see clearly.

Even if thunder and lightning roar.

The "existence" on the statue is still the only light in this world at this moment!

They prayed, they wished, they longed—

And at this moment, their dreams come true.

They are about to be saved.

The man standing on the statue of himself watched all this with a blank expression.

He raised one hand and slowly gathered five fingers.

In the roar of the storm—

Countless sea water gathers!

The vortex is shattered!

And together with the hundreds of millions of tons of seawater that was crushed... there was also the struggling iron ship and hundreds of devout believers on the deck.
