Bulwark of Light

Chapter 762 The Holy City's Request for Help (First update! Ask for a monthly pass!)

There are black flowers all over the shrine mountain.

A sea of ​​fire was slowly burning between the mountains and fields. This sea of ​​fire did not ignite the mountain, nor did it exude a sense of destruction... On the contrary, those black flowers wrapped in flames gradually faded away from the silence and coldness. breath.

After a long time.

The "Aura of Destruction" on the petals of the black flower was removed.

Looking down from a high altitude, this sea of ​​flames is already full of vitality.

"In the past two months of practice... my 'flame of vitality' has doubled in number compared to before, but it's still not enough."

Gu Shen stretched out his palm.

A mass of exuberant blazing flames rolled in the palm of his hand.

In the past, the blazing fire was just a wisp, gradually becoming a touch, and now it finally has a certain scale, which looks quite impressive.

But Gu Shen is clear.

Wanting to advance to the ninth floor of the deep sea... these blazing fires are not enough.

As for Tier [-].

After the ninth floor, his spiritual sea will expand again.

"The more transcendence, the stronger the breakthrough."

Gu Shen whispered to himself: "It is several times more difficult for me to advance to the fourth level than other extraordinary people, but once I break through... the combat power I possess is also several times theirs!"

He extinguished the flames with his backhand.

Spiritual thoughts were immersed in the pure land, and the mighty wind and snow came head-on.

Gu Shen stood on the trunk of the hanging tree, he did not inform anyone of his "arrival", during this period of meditation, he would occasionally separate his mind to see the "construction situation" of the pure land.

Li Qingci is directing Tie Wu and Hong Zhong to make a unified plan for the south of the hanging wood. At present, the seeds that have been sown are divided into partitions.

Because of the practice of praying in the shrine mountain for many years.

Her mental strength is exceptionally strong.

Those souls whose consciousness has been wiped out by themselves can "understand" simple instructions, but these instructions need to be issued with mental power... Gu Shen watched for a moment, and these people seemed to be building a garden.

In the vicinity of Suxuanmu, Li Qingci built several wooden houses, a little distance from the ground, and laid a clean and neat foundation. The appearance and quality of these houses are the same as those of shrines.

In addition, she also built a simple "dwelling place" for those dead souls. The weather in the pure land world is changeable. As the god of this new world, Gu Shen's grasp of the "weather" is not accurate enough... especially in the great cold. Season, snow all year round, extremely cold day and night.

The soul actually feels "cold" too.

Moreover, all consumption in this world is maintained by Gu Shen.

Rain, snow, wind, fog.

Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, starshift.

For every soul here, if they want to survive in the "Pure Land", they need Gu Shen to burn the source quality for them... Originally, there were only Tie Wu and Hong Zhong. They felt cold, so they built a thatch on the spot Hut, I huddled in at night, it was a little better, I lived for a while, but now there are more than 100 souls.

The "coldness" of these people requires Gu Shen to pay an extra price.

These houses were built with celadon to shelter them from the wind and cold, and those dead souls who were used as coolies would not be shivering from the cold... Because of these wooden houses, the source quality consumption of Gu Shen's Pure Land has been reduced by [-]% overall.

The Pure Land is a unique creation in the world.

This is a complete and independent world... It is wonderful to be the god of this world, but it is not a good thing to bear all the expenses of the entire world.

Here we need a steward who is "careful and careful" and "able to pinch and break".

Gu Shen didn't have the time and ability to do this.

Li Qingci has seen the future pure land and knows all the details. It is most suitable for her to handle this job.

"The amount of source quality required for 'Pure Land' has been simplified."

Gu Shen sighed lightly: "But it's still not enough."

If you have been in the shrine mountain all the time, you don't need to worry about it.

Here black flowers are all over the mountains, and the entire disaster environment has accumulated 600 years of disordered source quality, enough for Gu Shen to take at will.

However, there is always a time to leave——

The "source quality" that the blazing fire can swallow is limited after all, part of it is used to transform the fire of vitality, and the other part is used to maintain the operation of the "pure land"... After a long time, it will be difficult to complete the two phases.

Do you still have to bury your head in the shrine and retreat?
"Shh!"

He took a step forward, turned his body slightly, and fell from the hanging tree in just a moment.

"My lord."

"Mr. Gu."

As the wind blew up, Tie Wu was the first to realize that someone was coming. Li Qingci was busy "calling troops", and was overwhelmed for a while. He just turned around in a hurry and simply said hello.

"Don't pay attention to me."

Gu Shen cast a busy look at Tie Wu, he looked at the recultivated soil, and those spirits who were timid, obviously afraid of him.

Gu Shen didn't bother Qingci, he walked around this "new garden" alone.

It used to be a barren land.

After Iron Five came, the seeds were sown, and seedlings grew, but these seedlings were crooked and not very pretty.

Gu Shen didn't care much about these.

Now that Li Qingci has come, he has turned over the old soil and re-rooted the seedlings.

The laws of operation of this whole world are defined by Gu Shen, to move seedlings and cut trees, and to re-grow, as long as the "source quality" is consumed, he has given Li Qingci extremely high authority. The consciousness of the shopkeeper.

The miracles of "calling the wind and rain" and "calling the sun by the moon".

Li Qingci can implement it on his behalf.

It's just that she didn't use it much. She just used part of the "power of the gods" to re-plow the wasteland that Tie Wu had previously reclaimed. After reasonable and dense planting, the area of ​​tens of acres looked much cleaner and refreshed.

This is a big project, because the pure land is so big that I don't know how many squares it has tens of acres.

Not long after, Li Qingci's voice sounded from behind.

"Mr. Gu, in my memory... here is a 'Golden Spike Garden'. It may be because of the severe cold season, these seedlings have not sprouted yet and grow slowly."

"Slow?" Gu Shen asked with a smile, "Are you sure you can't grow?"

"...Really not."

Li Qingci hesitated for a moment, then she took out a frozen tassel covered with icicles from her sleeve.

"This one just grew out not long ago... one, um, although it's very small, it still grew out."

Gu Shen took this small, stubborn spike flower.

In today's pure land, you can actually see golden spikes of flowers fluttering in the wind.

But those are the result of "continuous spring rain season".

He thought.

In winter, everything dies.

These plants cannot grow.

"what……"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted slightly, he looked at the spike flower, his eyes became surprised.

"how?"

Seeing this, Li Qingci asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this spike flower?"

Gu Shen rubbed lightly with his fingertips.

The golden spikes were crushed by him, the ice slag melted, and after the wind blew, the scattered gold shavings fluttered down.

"Although this spike flower is small...but it contains source quality."

A look of surprise appeared on Gu Shen's face, and he murmured: "Thus, the four seasons in the Pure Land, although it is windy and rainy, consumes the source quality, but as long as it is carefully cultivated, it will be rewarded when it blooms and bears fruit."

Li Qingci was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Gu Shen said.

Now she holds the "God's Edict" in her hand, and can command wind and rain in the pure land, but she has never used it, because she knows that every "God's Edict" needs to consume source quality as a price.

Gu Shen retreated to the shrine, so there is no need to worry about the source quality for now.

But the shrine is not inexhaustible.

The reason why the wishing technique back then directed his future towards Gu Shen was probably because... With the growth rate of "Pure Land", the shrine mountain would be hollowed out soon afterward.

Li's 600-year curse is indeed huge.

But if it is used to support such a boundless world, it seems insignificant.

"So...you only need to let a sufficient number of golden spikes 'bloom' to be 'self-sufficient'?"

Li Qingci suddenly realized.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

Gu Shen has complicated eyes.

No wonder Pluto is eager for the "Pure Land". Such a perfect world of cause and effect is more real than any of the seven gods.

The more you pay, the more you gain.

Once the "Pure Land" is completed and has achieved initial operation.

Then its owner will obtain a steady stream of extraordinary source quality!

Use these source qualities to expand the undead army.

Some of the undead are thrown into the pure land...the snowball will get bigger and bigger.

The premise is that the pure land needs not only a soul commander who can control the situation, but also a shrewd planting planner. Today, there are only a hundred souls. same.

"It will take about ten days for this flower garden to be initially built."

Li Qingci used the imperial edict to float in the air, reaching a height of about [-] meters above the ground, while Gu Shen stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Celadon stretched out her fingers and moved slowly.

The entire flower garden is in the shape of a square.

"I want to wait for the first batch of golden spike flowers to bud, and it will take about a month, plus a round of 'reserve source quality'." She said seriously: "But after that, the source quality consumption of these 130 four souls is basically It can be reduced by half, and it will take about two months to wait for complete 'self-sufficiency'."

That's how it was at first.

Fewer people, less land, less flowers, less resources.

But in the future, the consumption of source quality will increase, and the output will also increase.

"Understood... If I leave the shrine, the 'source quality' I have stored will first guarantee the consumption of the pure land."

Gu Shen nodded his head. After a full meal, he can still settle the account. Wait until the Pure Land is self-sufficient, and then expand. The source quality he gets will be his own feedback.

And at that time, he alone was a moving "disaster environment"!
Blazing will never go hungry again.

You can take as much source quality as you need from the Pure Land, and the Pure Land will become a "shrine" that you can carry with you!
……

……

Just exited the pure land world, and has not yet returned to reality.

Gu Shen's spirit was pulled into Lingyao under the deep water area.

He sat on the seat of the carriage, and Chu Ling projected scene after scene of mental projections in front of him.

"Something happened in Nanzhou."

Chu Ling said calmly, "Look at the picture first."

Gu Shen frowned.

The picture shows a butterfly with its wings spread... It seems that there are layers of grids wrapped around its body. Obviously this is the pattern captured by the [Sky Eye]. It is late at night, and the brightness of the picture has been reduced to the extreme. Very dark.

"What is this dark fellow? A moth?"

"Its scientific name is Queen Birdwing Butterfly...you can call it a moth if you have to." Chu Ling was silent for a second, then said: "This is the picture taken on the north bank of the 'Sangzhou Grotto' last night. Let’s compare it with the real thing.”

Next.

Chu Ling zoomed in.

[Eye of the Sky] After pulling it up several times, you can see the ups and downs of small hills. Although they are not big, the body of the queen birdwing butterfly almost covers a hill...

Only then did Gu Shen realize something was wrong: "How big is this thing?"

"The wingspan is 59 meters."

"???"

Gu Shen looked a little astonished, his first reaction was, this thing could not have been made by Pluto, could it?
The golden spike flower is only [-] meters in size.

How did this moth get so big?

"Three years ago, the Supreme Council approved the experimental application for the Awakening Act, and chose the Sangzhou Grotto as the experimental site..." Chu Ling said slowly: "The day the application was approved, the Sangzhou Grotto was completely closed. "

She called up a map of South Africa.

On the south coast of Nanzhou, surrounded by the sea of ​​ice, Sangzhou Cave is an isolated island on the southernmost coast, just like Gubao Fortress is located on a raised place on the border of Beizhou, Sangzhou Cave is probably the bottom of Wuzhou.

Going further to the south is the extremely high-risk source quality destruction sea marked on the map of the extraordinary.

"Sangzhou Grotto..."

Gu Shen's expression suddenly became serious.

He remembered the things Mr. Bai Shu said to himself...

Ruins appeared in the depths of the ice sea.

After a year of investigation by the seven gods' apostles, they all returned without success, and finally the God of Storms went south in person.

"The Sangzhou Grotto has been completely sealed for three years, and it has not been announced to the public. How far the awakening experiment has reached...According to the provisions of the law, the researchers of the Holy City have absolutely 'sealed' the Sangzhou Grotto, and by [Deep Sea] is in charge of monitoring, and regularly reports to the Intercontinental Council in the form of a log."

Chu Ling said calmly: "But just last night, the Holy City Research Institute applied to the Intercontinental Council for help."

"Help..."

Gu Shen frowned: "What is the request for help from the Holy City Research Institute?"

"Area F has been breached, and they need reinforcements...an extraordinary creature broke through the 'cage'." Chu Ling said: "It is worth mentioning that the Queen Birdwing butterfly just now was covered with a million-volt power grid. According to my prediction, the 'extraordinary power' it awakened is [Light Chaser], and the high heat from the voltage burst was absorbed by it instantly. The person who witnessed all this is called Jiputa, a D-class containment personnel of the research institute, and is currently missing. , presumed dead."

Gu Shen said angrily: "How could the Sangzhou Grotto experiment be so rough, using the power grid as a 'cage', how could it be possible to trap extraordinary creatures with awakening abilities?"

"Maybe they didn't expect that this kind of monster would be bred in the awakening experiment..."

Chu Ling said indifferently: "However, the Sangzhou Grotto experiment is not rough. The ten-layer power grid is not a real 'cage'. There are two layers of 'world barriers' made of strong logic materials outside the island. The research institute has carried out quite sufficient research. The preparations to wrap this isolated island into an independent ecological circle... It's just that the reason they asked for help this time is very simple, that is, the 'barrier' of Sangzhou Grottoes seems to have been broken through."

"seem?"

Gu Shen had quite a headache, why did he feel that those guys from Nanzhou were so unreliable?

"Last night was the [Deep Sea] No. 11 upgrade. The Sangzhou Grotto base was disconnected for 1 minute. When the barrier was hit hard, the source quality supply of the research institute was interrupted, and the high-level transcendent didn't notice it in time... All in all, many coincidences They overlapped together to create this accident."

After a pause, Chu Ling said meaningfully: "I think the most fundamental reason for these accidents is that... the God that the Holy City relies on has already left for the Ice Sea and is no longer in Nanzhou."
