Bulwark of Light

Chapter 754 Hades and the Apostles (Second Change, ask for a monthly pass!)

After the cathedral dreams shattered—

Mu Wanqiu's nightmare came to an end.

At the end of this memory, she returned to her hometown to worship the dead in that small town.

The awakening of [Judge] has made her the most gifted Transcendent in the Beizhou Continent in the past 20 years, bar none.

But the price she paid was extremely heavy.

"Ding ding ding dong."

Mu Wanqiu raised her head.

She stared at the oak trees covered with swaying snowflakes, and her eyes were no longer ignorant as before.

The wishing paper and wind chimes swaying all over the trees are still shaking, and Auntie beside her, those passers-by praying for blessings, gradually disappears.

A figure sat under a tree.

"...Gu Shen."

Mu Wanqiu was startled.

"it's me."

Gu Shen smiled softly: "This nightmare has trapped you for many years, right?"

"Uh……"

The girl stretched out her hand in pain and pressed her forehead, the pictures around her began to flash back, and countless lights began to shatter——

There are no longer the oaks and snow of the Chasik Hills all around.

It is the real spiritual sea of ​​the array box.

at the same time.

The details of the Frozen Lake mission, as well as the images of the attack, gradually emerged, and those memories suppressed by the "terror of the heart" are now sweeping and surging like a tide...

After a while, Mu Wanqiu opened his eyes again.

The little girl grew up overnight.

"This is……"

she murmured.

"This is the 'Array Box' sea area, you are now communicating with me in a spiritual form."

Mu Wanqiu lost his mind for a while: "Is the frozen lake mission over? I'm dead now?"

"The Frozen Lake mission is over, but you are not dead."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "You will return to the real world soon. Before that, I need to ask you a question..."

"You, remember my identity?"

This sentence is like a thunderbolt.

Mu Wanqiu's expression froze suddenly.

She looked at Gu Shen, a wave that was more violent than the previous memories swept her mental sea!
Mr. Bai Shu acted and changed Mu Wanqiu's cognition——

Gu Shen's "Blazing Fire" completed the dialogue between the God Throne and the [Apostle] in the nightmare of her heart. The huge information has been revised, and all she has to do at this moment is to accept it.

gunfire.

broken glass.

church.

Silhouette with outstretched arms.

"You are... Pluto?"

Mu Wanqiu's expression was pale, her cognition completed the continuation, the secret of the explosion of information left her in shock for a long time.

Due to the "cognitive modification", the picture of getting along with Gu Shen before appeared in her mind.

Those exchanges, those fights, those failures...

Those questions that could not be solved after hard thinking have been answered at this moment!

"Yes."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I am the one who really saved you in the river of darkness. The previous King of Hades died 20 years ago... I am the new owner of the fire, and this is my 'fire of darkness'."

He raised his palm.

In the clear blazing fire, there is a streak of black.

And this black flame is the real "God's Flame".

"What I said in the dream will take effect forever."

Gu Shendao: "Whether you want to be my [Apostle] or not... I will help you kill those who escaped from the church case back then. This is not a deal, this is my unilateral promise."

"..."

Mu Wanqiu took a deep breath.

She said in a deep voice, "Someone has fled to Guangming City."

"Photo kill."

Gu Shen said lightly: "Don't forget, I am the 'Pluto', what's the use of those people fleeing to Guangming City?"

He divided the very tiny wisp of fire into two halves.

Although the number is too rare.

But this ray of power should not be underestimated.

Gu Shen has allocated half of the "authority", and this half of the "authority" is enough to make Mu Wanqiu's [Judge] field go further... This is exactly what she pursued when she stepped into the Styx.

"You are about to be promoted to the fourth level now, and you may have no hope for three times beyond the realm."

"But this ray of 'underworld fire' can take you a step further. This is not an overdraft in advance... This is the fortune you deserve."

If there is no Gu Shen in this world, then Mu Wanqiu who has the [Judge] should be Minghuo's first choice.

Unfortunately.

There is already a Pluto in the world.

"Do you want to think about it?"

Gu Shen pushed the half-split Minghuo in front of Mu Wanqiu.

Mu Wanqiu glanced at Gu Shen.

"Don't think about it."

She directly stretched out her palm and held the "Underworld Fire" in her palm: "I am willing to become an 'apostle', but I have one condition... Those who were involved in the church case back then, when the time is right, I will handle it myself."

"Okay." Gu Shen smiled.

contract reached.

In an instant, the underworld fire, which was so weak that it could be ignored, burst into a radiant brilliance in Mu Wanqiu's palm.

Her spirit is directly fused with the underworld fire!
In the spiritual sea of ​​the array box, endless waves are rippling!
"Boom rumble..."

Mu Wanqiu's spiritual aura began to rise after merging with this ray of dark fire.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Shen, a rare smile appeared on that cold cheek.

"It's really... a generous gift."

As an "S-level" transcendent with a second level of transcendence, Mu Wanqiu is almost invincible among the ninth-level transcendents!

Gu Shen was right.

It is no longer possible for her to become a "three-time transcendent".

Some opportunities, some good luck, are not gifted, hard enough, you can get it!

If you miss it, there will be no more——

It's just that the "underworld power" at this moment has allowed her to achieve another leap forward in the current stage!
Mu Wanqiu let out a deep breath. She felt her spiritual sea expand again. If she was promoted again and successfully became the fourth rank, then her spiritual sea should be among the best in the fourth rank.

Even if it's not as good as the top fourth level of "Zhong Yuan", it won't be much different!
In this situation, she looked at Gu Shen with curiosity in her eyes.

Since ancient times, there has never been an apostle stronger than the seat of God.

Is Gu Shen, who has gifted himself this part of "authority" and is still a level lower than himself, stronger than himself now?

"I know what you're thinking..."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "You are indeed very strong now, but if you want to fight, you still have no chance of winning. Putting aside the sealed item, you should be able to last a little longer, that's all."

If you use the sealed item...

[Truth] Once activated, the battle is over.

"Try?"

There was a fighting spirit in Mu Wanqiu's eyes.

She is aggressive by nature, took the divine fire and became an apostle, most likely she would not use it when she returned to Beizhou... Now is the best opportunity to use it.

That ray of black flame burned between the eyebrows of the judge ghost behind him.

The judge holding the big banner suddenly swelled up, and became towering like a mountain in a few seconds. This tiny ray of "underworld fire" was worth the hard work of many people for a lifetime.

There is almost no God seat who is as generous as Gu Shen, who directly donates half of the authority!

There is no apostle who has the power that is so compatible with the "fire seed" like Mu Wanqiu!

"Judge" directly ushered in a qualitative change!

"..."

Gu Shen looked at the towering ghost, smiled and raised his hand.

Rumble!
The spiritual sea area of ​​the array box boiled instantly, and endless blazing lights rose in this spiritual space. In an instant, a towering barrier rose to the sky. Gu Shen's eyebrows were burning with the other half of the power of the dark fire. He sat back, and layers of black mist surrounded him He wrapped it up, and the dark throne rose from the ground, higher than the mountains.

What a joke.

This is the spiritual world——

Fight in this kind of place.

He never loses.

The array box sea area is almost covered by the throne and the huge shadow above the throne.

At this moment, Mu Wanqiu re-saw the "Virtual Image of Pluto" in Styx's dream, overlooking all sentient beings.

At this time, the scene is almost exactly the same as before.

The array box sea area turned into the Styx river crawling under Gu Shen's feet.

All living beings are ants.

Her Judge is a little bigger.

How to fight this?
Mu Wanqiu raised her head, and found that she couldn't see the end of Gu Shen's "spiritual body", so she silently retracted the ghost image, and the next moment, Gu Shen also retracted the seat.

This battle has not yet begun, but it is coming to an end.

The sea area of ​​the array box, which had been tumbling under the dark tide, instantly returned to calm.

"Go back to the real world and try again?"

Gu Shen pointed to the souls floating at the end of the spiritual sea, and asked, "Before Mu Qingyang and the others wake up, if you want to try your hand, you still have a chance."

"...No."

Mu Wanqiu refused without thinking.

Recalling the scene just now, after a moment of silence, she said seriously: "After Styx, fighting with you is meaningless..."

"The power of Minghuo, I will find opportunities to practice slowly."

"At the necessary stage, such as in a near-death situation...you can use the 'authority', don't worry about being exposed."

Gu Shen smiled.

He said broadly: "But remember, even if the identity of the 'Apostle' is revealed, it must remain mysterious. The less information there is, the more people will believe that the 'Pluto' is still alive... He really needs an apostle, and you are indeed the most Good candidate."

"I see."

Mu Wanqiu nodded seriously.

……

……

Next, Gu Shen transmitted the existence of "Pure Land" and "Golden Spike Flower" to Mu Wanqiu's spiritual sea through a spiritual link...Of course he still kept most of the secrets.

These two incidents are clearly related to Beizhou.

And after getting the "authority", Mu Wanqiu is considered to be the first apostle under the command of Pure Land.

"Maze mission...so that's how it is..."

After digesting the information, Mu Wanqiu looked at Gu Shen with a more complicated expression.

Cognitive cleansing is a miracle that only a "god" can accomplish!

A month ago, her original impression of Gu Shen was still at the level of "friend", "partner", and "trustworthy".

But after going through the modification of Baishu, and the nightmare just now...

Her impression of Gu Shen gradually changed.

"Minghuo" will affect the mind.

In terms of views on certain things, she unknowingly put Gu Shen in a higher position.

Learned the truth about the maze quest.

On the one hand, she was shocked. It turned out that the "information" that Hong Zhong sent back was not just a dream.

It turns out that the "spiritual toxin" that almost put the entire Gubao Fortress in a desperate situation...is the big snake that originated from the maze! !

on the other hand.

Mu Wanqiu also felt "amazed" and "admired".

this kind of thing.

If it were me...she might die.

The contagious power of tinder is terrifying, and the emotion Mu Wanqiu feels at this moment...is the result of Gu Shen's deliberate control.

If the former Pluto is not dead.

Mu Wanqiu had long been in the Styx River, prostrated herself as a vassal, and willingly followed her.

Gu Shen met many apostles.

The former Qin Ye, Tie Wu... and Miss Ajiaer later, in fact, the relationship between these people and the God Throne has been completely "differentiated from top to bottom", completely "following" and "obeying".

the reason is simple.

When they followed God Throne, God Throne had become God Throne, invincible in the world.

But Mu Wanqiu's situation is not the same as theirs...

Today's Gu Shen is far from being a god.

As for his willingness to share a ray of fire, to donate half of his "rights", and even to ask Bai Shu to modify his cognition, it was all because Mu Wanqiu was strong enough.

Gu Shen believes that Mu Wanqiu has a chance to become the second "Baishu".

No.1 under the Future Seven Gods.

For such an "arm", Gu Shen would naturally not be stingy.

"Jin Suihua has been exploring the [Old World] for a long time, I will give you this map, and its information will also be transmitted to your spiritual sea in the future... As for the map information of the [Old World], you can choose according to the situation. , decide on your own, when to give it to the investigation legion."

Gu Shen paused, and said: "If you donate it, you must think clearly... how to explain this information to the outside world."

Mu Wanqiu was thoughtful.

She frowned and said worriedly: "Then Her Majesty..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Gu Shendao: "Her Majesty knows my secret, think about why Central City is allied with Nagano, and why His Majesty values ​​me so much... Some things cannot be seen in the light, but a reasonable explanation must always be given on the table .”

Gu Shen directly targeted Mu Wanqiu as an apostle.

As long as this matter happens, the queen will be able to see through it.

Based on Gu Shen's understanding of the man in the attic, the encounter and bond between him and Mu Wanqiu may even be personally promoted by the highest will of Central City.

Everything... is the result of divination.

"His Majesty the Queen... already knows?"

Mu Wanqiu was slightly taken aback, she always felt a little strange.

When he joined the investigation corps, he had sworn an oath of allegiance to the queen.

Minghuo can be accepted.

At this moment, he became the apostle of Pluto.

What should I do if Gu Shen asks me to do something that violates my oath?
"The five continents are in chaos, the seven gods are at odds, and the battle of the gods...is a matter of time." Gu Shen said solemnly: "Under the overall situation, Nagano and Central City can only survive if they are united. So Her Majesty will not care about these details, you Be your own "Apostle" with peace of mind, hide your identity, and practice hard. When war breaks out in Beizhou in the future, only you are strong enough to be able to protect your homeland. Think about the "Chasik" during the Red War...you Do you want the tragedy to repeat itself?"

Mu Wanqiu's expression froze.

"When you return to the real world, I will connect the spirit of 'Jin Sui Hua' with your heart lake."

Gu Shen tapped lightly, then changed the subject.

He said earnestly: "After returning to Beizhou, you can use the information advantage of the survey legion to get it back on the right track. You can use this to obtain the information you want, and open up the forbidden area of ​​life that was inconvenient for the explorers of Beizhou back then. , and constantly complete the fog map of the [Old World].”

Making Mu Wanqiu an apostle, Gu Shen did not expect her to do anything spectacular.

He's not even a legitimate god seat.

Mu Wanqiu, the apostle, can only be regarded as taking the lead and "reserving" a false name.

"Complete the map... This is completely a unilateral gift from you."

Mu Wanqiu murmured: "With the identity of 'Pluto' concealed, it is difficult for the investigative army to accept such a large gift..."

"Then investigate first, and hold the information in your hands." Gu Shen said with a smile: "When the time is right, send the map to the investigation army. You already have enough voice and status in the army. Jin Where Suihua has been and where she will go, you can avoid the 'exploration mission'. As for how to persuade, that's not a problem at all. After you return to Beizhou, Her Majesty the Queen will naturally ask the army leader to clear the way for you. Knows better than anyone what we are going to do."

"You want to investigate the map just to get rid of the fog in Beizhou?" Mu Wanqiu raised her eyebrows.

"Serving mankind is of course only one of the reasons."

When Gu Shen heard this question, he smiled slightly.

He said frankly: "I have only one final appeal for this mission..."

"Find the final coordinates where Zhou Jiren, the great arbitrator of Dongzhou, and his disciples disappeared."
