Mu Wanqiu’s ability [Judge]... really has so similarity to the "Netherworld King Power."
Even Gu Shen doubted whether this ability had so connection to himself?
The elevator arrived at Gu Shen’s floor.
"Captain Lu, would you like to co to my place for a while?" Gu Shen extended the invitation.
"No, no..."
Lu Zhe waved his hand repeatedly: "I say, Xiao Gu, you don’t even check the ti. It’s 2 AM now... If I go to your place for a while, how would it be perceived by others?"
Gu Shen was slightly startled.
Lu Zhe raised an eyebrow, speaking aningfully: "If I were Mu Wanqiu tonight... I wouldn’t open the door either, after all, it’s just a first eting."
"No, no!"
Gu Shen suddenly felt overwheld, realizing that Chu Ling had been silent in his mind for so ti.
He hastily said, "Don’t talk about it... I fear misunderstanding."
"What’s there to fear? There’s no third person here!"
Lu Zhe yawned, winked, "You should go back first, rest assured, I’ll keep tonight’s late-night visit to Mu Wanqiu a secret for you."
Gu Shen exited the elevator.
Zhong Yuan had also left, leaving only him in the large room.
A bad premonition rose in his heart.
Spiritual Link to Carriage Zero Zero One.
Gu Shen clenched his fist with one hand, bringing it to his lips, and coughed lightly.
Chu Ling was imrsed in reading a picture book alone, without raising her head, she asked lightly, "God Gu, why do you have ti to co here tonight?"
The sarcasm in these words was too apparent to Gu Shen.
He smiled awkwardly: "Mistake, mistake..."
"Was the mistake that Mu Wanqiu didn’t open the door?" Chu Ling closed the thick book, raised her head, and said eerily.
After saying that, even she felt surprised.
She was rely an AI living in the virtual spirit network, had she learned to be jealous?
But... is this considered jealousy?
Although she pretended to be reading a book, in reality, she hadn’t missed a word of Lu Zhe and Gu Shen’s conversation in the elevator.
Mu Wanqiu’s [Judge] was simply a perfect match with the Netherworld King.
Upon hearing this, a strange emotion arose in Chu Ling’s heart.
She should have been detached, without love or hate.
But having concerns, attachnts, hope... brought out other emotions.
Carefully contemplating, there was a slight sourness to these emotions.
"The mistake was in this hurried journey to the North Continent, missing the chance for reformation at the ’Divine Temple Mountain’." Gu Shen sat opposite Chu Ling, stifling his smile, and spoke earnestly: "I should have brought you along to the North Continent, to let those uncouth people see what unparalleled grace is, what it ans to dazzle the Five Continents, what a Heavenly Immortal descending to earth is..."
"Stop, stop!"
Chu Ling quickly intervened, the more he spoke, the more cheesy it beca, if not stopped, who knows where the conversation would lead.
"Actually, I’m not angry, let this matter be." Chu Ling sighed softly, "I heard Lu Zhe’s words just now, I faintly feel... Mu Wanqiu’s [Judge] might have so connection with your ’Fire Seed.’
"Indeed."
Gu Shen beca solemn: "Don’t you find it quite coincidental?"
"The ’River Poison’ in Duolu River Disaster Realm, and the Netherworld King Power share the sa source..." he murmured: "Does this an that the Netherworld King once left so thod in the Disaster Realm?"
"I not only find it coincidental, but also very strange."
Chu Ling raised a finger, spoke seriously: "Do you rember the conversation with the Empress on the second floor? She said she spent a trendous amount of spiritual power to resist the Duolu River Disaster Realm... If it’s just neutralizing the spiritual poison left by the Netherworld King, isn’t it too unreasonable? Can a deceased Divine Throne really be so formidable that even the Beizhou Empress has to pay such a high price to barely cope?!"
"Hmm..."
Gu Shen also fell into reminiscence.
When he t the Empress on the second floor, the furnace was running.
The Empress’s spiritual power consumption was indeed enormous...
Could it be that there’s sothing else in the Disaster Realm consuming her spirit?
"Mu Wanqiu’s dream and Zhong Yuan’s ’Mirror Dream’... might not be the sa dream." Gu Shen slowly said: "Her reason for rejecting Lu Zhe’s attempt to enter the dream was simply to keep the secret."
"Precisely, I think the sa."
Chu Ling stated seriously: "As for the secret she wants to hide, what is it... We might not know until we enter Duolu River."
...
...
A sleepless night.
Gu Shen’s spiritual cultivation was stuck at a critical bottleneck.
He attempted to create his own "Sumr Breathing" to break through the bottleneck... but realized that his own accumulation was still lacking, the second volu of the breathing technique was not sothing that could be easily created.
Two breakthroughs, already comparable to a heavenly being.
Three tis, this is unprecedented, even the Battle God Throne Bai Shu believes...Gu Shen’s hope of breaking through three tis is not great.
When refining the spirit, ti passes extrely fast.
Open your eyes.
And it’s already daylight.
Gu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the reflection of himself in the mirror, a wisp of fla at the center of his brow struggling hard, firmly bound by the Battle Golden Hoop...
Compared to the beginning, it’s much better!
At least he can use part of the power of "Chi Huo"!
But wanting to break free relying on my own power...is far from enough, the difficulty of breaking through three tis is indeed very great.
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door outside the room.
"Mr. Xiao Gu, how did you rest last night?"
Aluer stood at the door with a smile on her face, the servant robot beside her pushed a dining cart, with a classic North Continent breakfast placed on top... this ti it wasn’t the hard bread from Gu Castle Fortress that could serve as cannonballs.
"Black tea, oatal, olet, white soft cheese, grilled chicken breast..."
Gu Shen smiled and said: "Very sumptuous, thank you, Aluer."
"No need to thank , Fisher placed the order for you." Aluer brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "The thirty-third floor is a buffet restaurant, apart from him, the other captains don’t like dining in the restaurant...He specially ordered these for you, saying he wants you to try the real delicacies of North Continent."
[Living Fish] usually guards the Deep Scale Fortress, surely eats bread to the point of nausea every day...this ti, luckily able to co to Central City for so ditation, Gu Shen can probably understand Fisher’s reason for going to dine.
However, he really was a bit puzzled and asked: "Speaking of which, the thing Fisher wears on his head...can he really eat with it?"
Aluer pursed her lips and laughed.
"He’s a Spiritual top-level expert... the food on the table can be changed to any form he wishes with just a thought, that Source Armor has a special food transmission tube."
Aluer clicked her tongue: "But the taste of food entering the mouth through the tube should be sowhat lacking, yet he seems to enjoy eating very much."
"I see..."
Gu Shen suddenly understood, then imdiately asked: "Does he eat seafood?"
"..."
The smile on Aluer’s face suddenly froze: "Probably...not eating, right?"
After awakening, Fisher beca more and more like a fish... guarding Deep Scale City because of his abilities, is almost invincible in water battles, besides, he can conduct spiritual communication with aquatic creatures.
"There’s sothing I need to inform you."
Aluer said seriously: "The eting of Duke Zhu Xue will probably end the day after tomorrow...within three days, the list for restarting the mission will be selected. Besides the seven exempt testers within the building, there will be several strong individuals becoming ’captains’, and then the team will be divided, and the captains will select their favored team mbers."
"Team division...what you said, does it have anything to do with ?"
Gu Shen chewed on the juicy chicken breast, slowly opening: "Her Majesty the Empress told I don’t need to obey anyone, nor need to follow any team for action..."
"Yes. Before the team division, you don’t need to make any preparations...these captains have no authority to order you."
Aluer nodded, "But after the team division, we will arrange sparring and training. Lord of the Legion asked to co over and inquire about your wishes."
Upon hearing sparring and training... Gu Shen imdiately thought of the temporary special training in front of Gu Castle Fortress.
"Last night, in the eting convened by Duke Zhu Xue, it was announced that you joined the restart mission, which has already sparked much discussion."
Aluer said helplessly: "Although many generals have already t with you at Gu Castle Giant Wall...but this restart mission, the privileges you enjoy, still cause many people to be dissatisfied."
Gu Shen took a sip of black tea.
"North Continent reveres force, and the generals respect Her Majesty’s choice, but about you... they still have doubts."
At this point, Gu Shen slowly raised his hand, signaling Aluer not to continue.
He put down the teacup and spoke with a smile: "I understand what you an, I should best participate in sparring and training after the team division and reveal my strength...otherwise it would be difficult to win over people, right?"
"Yes."
Aluer sighed lightly, this was really difficult to say, best to let Gu Shen understand.
"In addition, there’s sothing I need to hand over to Mr. Xiao Gu."
She took out a list.
"Exempt testers list."
Gu Shen did not refuse, took it, and browsed it briefly, last night he already obtained the list himself through his own ans, the list given by Aluer was not much different from what he got.
"This is the list I obtained after asking Her Majesty."
Aluer said sincerely: "Mr. Xiao Gu, Duke Zhen Yue ng Xiao, is also a selected ’captain’ for the restart mission, at this mont, he is in this building, as far as I know, he spends most of his ti in the gravity room on the thirty-sixth floor...I hope this information is useful to you."
Gu Shen squinted his eyes.
The Angel Envoy personally ca to inform about this news...hoping to reduce conflict between the two and avoid friction?
It seems Her Majesty does not wish for him and ng Xiao to et.
"Rest assured, I have no ti to find trouble with him."
Gu Shen said indifferently: "Can you talk about the team division matter again..."
