Bulwark of Light

"I want to participate in the ice sea mission."

Gu Xiaoman's voice was firm: "When will you go to sea?"

It has been five years, she has practiced in the Tower of Origin for five years, and she has not returned to Nanzhou to see it... For some reason, when she heard the word Binghai, the deepest string in her heart was plucked.

The intuition from the spiritual department, or the guidance of fate, told himself from the bottom of his heart.

She had to go on this mission.

"This news should only be known to Shangcheng."

The red dragon stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, and said softly: "It coincides with the trial of the new envoy, according to the rules of the Tower of Origin, this mission to sea will probably be carried out in conjunction with the test of the candidate for the envoy... If you decide to If you go to sea, you will inevitably be bound together with the 'Trial of God's Envoy'."

"In other words... you have to try to take the title of 'Red Dragon'."

He withdrew his gaze, turned around slowly, and looked at the girl in the black cloak: "Are you willing?"

"It's a good calculation. I guessed it right. You want me to take over the 'Red Dragon' mantle."

Gu Xiaoman couldn't help but sneered: "Yunhu made things difficult for me earlier, and you pretended you didn't see it. That's the reason too. Are you hoping to arouse the anger in my heart?"

"That's not so."

Red Dragon shrugged his shoulders: "If he does too much and you can't stand it, I will naturally come forward... But just now, didn't you have a good fight? What is there to refuse when you are sent to your door for nothing?"

"..." Gu Xiaoman had nothing to say.

"I'm not interested in any identity other than 'Lord of Wine'."

Gu Xiaoman said calmly: "If you want to go to the Frozen Sea, you must bear the title of candidate for 'Red Dragon Angel'... I don't care. But I don't understand, you obviously have other ways to arrange me in."

The red dragon just said lightly: "The weight of the three words "lord of wine" is not as easy as you imagined. You just say go or not."

Gu Xiaoman looked angrily at this rascal.

"……go!"

In the past five years of getting along with each other, she already knows the red dragon very well.

The real side of this guy is the complete opposite of what he appears to be.

Red Dragon seems to be lazy, but in fact there is a clear boundary. He never delays, and never allows things that touch the bottom line to happen.

The reason why this guy has been sitting on the top of the God Envoy for so many years is that he has a super high talent for cultivation and the ability to kill people.

This is an evildoer on the same level as Master Baixiu!

But what Gu Xiaoman couldn't understand was... With such a high talent, Red Dragon's attitude towards cultivation is very loose. He doesn't seem to pursue the highest point of extraordinary cultivation, but is very interested in other things.

For example, cultivate yourself.

What a weirdo.

She had been to the Red Dragon's residence once before. This guy obviously has the right to live in the upper floors of the Tower of Origin, above the clouds, but he lives at the bottom of the Dreamland of the Twin Gods. There is hardly any sun in that place, but However, the Red Dragon raised a lot of green plants. In the absence of light, no matter how well the owner takes care of it and waters it regularly, those green plants will not grow so vigorously.

However, the flowers and plants raised by the red dragon have very tenacious vitality, and they just linger on and survive, and they have never died.

……

……

Dongzhou, the highest standard virtual conference room, urgently held a high-level meeting.

There were more than twenty people seated.

The people in charge of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei regions... those in power in the three schools, and the speakers of the five families, all gathered here.

"Everyone, what do you think about the [Ice Sea Ruins] news...?"

Mr. Gu Qilin sat on the highest seat of the virtual long table and was in charge of leading the meeting.

He has resigned from his position as Grand Commander of the command post.

But for a meeting of this size, he had to appear in person in order to convince every participant.

The members of the long table meeting, the leaders, whispered and discussed.

Just now, a piece of news spread among the high-level people in Dongzhou... The Sea of ​​Storms, who had disappeared for six years, finally returned from the sea of ​​ice.

Storm did not immediately inform the top executive of the news of his return.

Instead, he secretly dispatched the Julu Saint to the south.

The authenticity of this news has not yet been confirmed, but if it is true, then there is only one purpose of this move... There really are ruins in the depths of the ice sea!

"This news is a bit weird. With all due respect, it is better for Dongzhou not to take any action until it is confirmed."

A member of the Gangnam area spoke.

What he said was not unreasonable. Thinking about it carefully, how could such confidential information leak out, and even if it was known to outsiders, how could he kindly inform Dong Zhou?

There was a lot of discussion at the long table, and it was very noisy.

"Everyone..."

At this moment, a majestic female voice spoke: "I can guarantee the authenticity of the news."

The hustle and bustle of the conference table fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at the person who spoke, Lu Nanzhi who was sitting on the right side of the old man.

The metropolitan area is the head of the four Jiangnan districts.

As for Lu Nanzhi, she has proven her status with iron and blood over the years... Whether it is influence or reserve strength, she can be called the number one in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as this remark came out, the Jiangnan councilor who raised the question before immediately smiled and said, "So that's how it is... Since the 'madam' guaranteed it, then I will withdraw my statement just now."

The Patriarch of the Palace Family asked in a deep voice: "Sorry for the sudden news, it's not that I question your prestige, it's just that I want to know... such important news, do you have a definite image?"

"No."

Lu Nanzhi shook her head.

"This news came from my 'informant'. As for who it is, it is inconvenient to disclose."

Lu Nanzhi paused, and said: "You also know that it is impossible for there to be images of secrets involving the level of fire. But I can tell you that now not only the Sea of ​​Storms is sending a fleet southward, but the Tower of Origin and Guangming City It has already started to move... If Dongzhou doesn't follow up immediately, it is very likely that he will miss the opportunity."

This news was naturally revealed to her by Red Dragon.

After getting the news from Yunjing, Honglong used the identity of "064" to contact Lu Nanzhi and completed the information transmission.

As for images.

This is impossible to pass on. Once the [Cloud Mirror] image is spread, the Red Dragon will be directly exposed, and by the way, the entire conference room of the Ancient Literature Society may be uprooted.

So the question to be faced in this matter is...whether Lu Nanzhi can persuade Dong Zhou to take action just by relying on a verbal message.

Gong Qing frowned, obviously lost in thought.

"Xiaochi, do you have any news from there?"

The old man looked at Patriarch Bai.

Bai Xiaochi said in a low voice: "I sent someone to the cemetery as soon as I got the news, but Mr. Bai Shu seems to be 'busy', so he hasn't responded yet."

"Oh?"

Although Gu Qilin is old, the determination in his eyes has not disappeared.

The seat of God listens to six directions and looks in all directions. What can be done to make this supreme existence too busy to reply?
After thinking about it, I am afraid that there are only conversations between the top executives.

The return of the Storm God Throne... has a high probability to be true!

The old man made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't hesitate... I propose that Nagano send a vanguard, and each district provide a list of support, and then go south to the sea. No matter what the current situation is, let's find out what is in the depths of the ice sea."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Everyone who participated in the meeting was an old fox at the human level.

When they heard Bai Xiaochi's calm reply, they had already guessed a lot.

Plus the old man spoke.

The proposal went through immediately.

……

……

In the extreme depths of the deep water area, a meeting is also going on.

In the past few years [Deep Sea] has been iterated and upgraded. Due to the increasing source quality of the Extraordinary Era and the spiritual computing power provided by the Extraordinary, this deep-water area has expanded and deepened dozens of times compared to five years ago. huge!
But one thing hasn't changed.

That is the "base layer" fictitiously built by the power of the fire, which is always in the deepest part of the deep water area that cannot be touched.

"Storm, since you are back, why didn't you make a sound?"

The god seat of the sky condenses his own spiritual image in a hazy way, showing the appearance of a 20-year-old in a red robe and barefoot.

Perhaps it was because of the obsession with playing ancient chess in the real world, at the moment when he came to the bottom of the deep water area, he still held a black chess piece in his hand.

"Is there really a need to say it? The spiritual meeting has already been held before I enter the inland."

Feng Feng sarcastically said: "Put away that hypocritical face, your [Cloud Mirror] can see everything, why pretend to be blind?"

At this moment, the divine lights of fire were reflected into the deep sea one after another, and the several condensed gods all saw the scene of the storm raging against the sky.

"Heh...hehe..."

Everyone gathered together, and the sky god just smiled indifferently at the ridicule of the storm.

The relationship between the seven gods is very subtle.

Just when the news of Gu Changzhi's death broke out, Beizhou ended his friendship with Xizhou and joined Dongzhou instead.

So Guangming City moved closer to the Tower of Origin, and by the way, Nanzhou was recruited to suppress and block the queen, preventing Beizhou from successfully obtaining the traveler's fire.

And now.

Once again the situation has changed.

The confluence of Beizhou and Dongzhou has entered the second stage.

The City of Light and the Tower of Origin have also formed an alliance in the past five years...but they didn't pull Nanzhou into their camp.

Without the Continent of God Seat, it is destined to become only a chessboard.

In the past five years, Guangming City and Yuanzhi Tower have regarded Nanzhou as a place to draw blood, and they have squeezed out resources. The Holy City can only endure this. Confidentially, the God of Storms who participated in the meeting at this moment already knew all the unfair treatment that Nanzhou had encountered in the past five years.

Although he doesn't care about the lives of his people.

But the theocracy system he established has encountered great suppression in recent years!

That's what the storm can't stand...

Nanzhou is his territory, even if he wants to squeeze the lives of those people, he should squeeze them!
Ironically though.

If this happened in an outer continent, and the other gods in the Supreme Seat left and disappeared for Storm, he would also act in the same way, and immediately unite with other forces to jointly plunder.

There are still only five gods who have come to the deep water area this time.

The Lord of Wine fell, and Pluto was absent as usual.

"Everyone is here, why not take a look at this first."

Qinglong was very generous and distributed the image of Yunting Island captured by [Yunjing] with a wave of her hand.

After several gods looked over.

Qinglong looked at the God of Storms pointedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that in the six years since I left, someone discovered something good... Just after returning, I sent a fleet to sail. Why not share the good news with everyone?"

"..."

Storm's expression didn't change.

In fact, he had already guessed that the news that he sent a fleet to sail would be captured by the sky, but it didn't matter anymore.

All he wants is to be one step ahead.

Even if the sky is aware of it, and now the highest officials know it all, they will not be faster than the fleet of the Julu Saint.

According to the rules established by the supreme seat for 600 years, any mission that requires the seat of God to go out must be an extremely important event that involves the future fate of the human homeland.

After this kind of mission is over, information must be shared for free... This is the responsibility that those who refine the fire must bear.

"[Ice Sea Ruins] is real, I saw 'it'."

Storm waved his hand, calling out the inner scene of his own spiritual sea.

It seemed to be a huge protruding "iceberg", shrouded in countless snow-white auroras, and just looking at the part exposed to the sea, it also looked like a giant whale tens of thousands of meters long.

The God of Light frowned: "What is this?"

"[Ice Sea Ruins] part of the sea is exposed."

The storm said calmly: "This thing is dead, but as the source material flows to the five continents, the sea level in the depths of the ice sea drops, and a part of its outline is gradually revealed. This is the reason why no one discovered the [remains] in the previous 600 years... …600 years ago it was still under the sea.”

The God of Light asked again: "Didn't you go in and take a look?"

"I would like to...but if I go in, you won't be able to see me."

Storm sneered, "Do you know how much time it took me to go to the ice sea to perform the mission this time?"

"...Six years and one month." Bai Shu remembered it clearly.

"Do not."

Storm shook his head, "As far as I know, the round trip, plus the time of stay, I only spent 30 days!"

"???"

The other four gods in the highest seat were all shocked.

"Around the [Ice Sea Ruins], there is a 'time-distorted land'!" Storm said with a smile, "If I really try to enter it, I'm afraid I'll come back again. The Wuzhou is already a different place."

"In this way, I stayed around the [Ice Sea Ruins] for seven days. I tried to use my divine sense to wrap the authority and enter the barrier to find out. Later, I found that... this [Ruins] seems to have a strong influence on the authority of the fire. Restraint effect, after my spiritual power went in, it melted away, and my authority was also lost."

Storm jokingly asked: "Otherwise, why do you think I would send a saint... If [Ice Sea Ruins] could be entered so easily and without side effects, I would have finished exploring and returned long ago!"
