Light Fortress-Chapter 1413 - 181: Divine’s Container

The Netherworld Fire illuminates the Spirit Space.

After a brief silence, Shen Li’s response left Gu Shen speechless.

"The second one? Is there someone earlier than me?!"

"..."

"Who is that person?"

Little Iron Man grumbled and rolled up his sleeves.

"Mu Wanqiu."

After Gu Shen uttered these three words, Little Iron Man grumbled again and rolled his sleeves back down.

"Damn..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He knew the madness of Mu Wanqiu.

The only S-class in the North Continent... and the Investigation Corps vice-captain whom Central City placed high hopes on.

"Forget it, forget it, there’s no point in clashing with a crazy woman."

Knowing how to adapt to circumstances is wise, and Shen Li understood this principle.

He did want to fight that person, but if that person was Mu Wanqiu, forget it... he didn’t want to be beaten for nothing.

Gu Shen shook his head and smiled silently.

The two stared at each other.

Shen Li said, "I am willing to become an ’Angel Envoy’..."

He paused for a moment and repeated.

"I am willing to become your ’Angel Envoy’."

Thousands of words in the world can’t compare to a few words of sincerity, Gu Shen had envisioned many scenarios after this moment happened, but he did not expect Shen Li to agree so readily and decisively.

Not a trace of hesitation.

This guy wasn’t clever enough to predict that Gu Shen was the Netherworld King.

Upon revealing his identity, Shen Li was shocked, bewildered, and confused.

Yet faced with the position of ’Angel Envoy’ offered by Gu Shen, he didn’t hesitate at all.

"In recent years, many in Changye suspected I was the ’Netherworld King’s Apostle’."

Little Iron Man chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Even I sometimes doubt whether I’ve already become an ’Angel Envoy’, if that’s true, then why doesn’t the legendary Netherworld King find me?"

"Now I understand, the Netherworld King has always been here."

He looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression, "So... all of this began after the cemetery’s Divine War?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen no longer concealed it.

He softly said, "There was never a Netherworld King, the previous Netherworld King... died twenty years ago. After the cemetery’s Divine War, I took over the ’Netherworld Fire’, and with Mr. Bai Shu, we wove this deception, fooling the Source Tower, fooling Light City."

"No wonder..."

Shen Li murmured, "This is why the later peace in the East Continent occurred."

He chuckled freely, closed his eyes, spread his arms, and lowered all defenses within the Spirit Sea, which meant he would not resist anything Gu Shen did to him—

"Sizzle."

The Netherworld Fire burned, emitting a faint sound like a candle flame that could extinguish at any moment.

This flame was already scarce.

Gu Shen had previously shared half with the crowned Mu Wanqiu... now, only a thin wisp remained.

"I’m sorry..."

He softly said, "I have not yet become a true ’Deity’, I can only spare you a small thread of Netherworld Fire, to prove the identity of Angel Envoy. This wisp of fire is small, it can’t accomplish much, not even wield the ’authority’ of the Netherworld King’s Apostle... but this wisp of fire is my promise, in the future Pure Land World, there will be a place for you."

Shen Li jokingly scolded, "Do you think I care about those things? Hurry up!"

Gu Shen also smiled.

He divided the scarce Netherworld Fire again, gifting a wisp—

The Master of the Spark at the third stage of the Deep Sea chose two Angels, a unprecedented occurrence—

Moreover, the "Netherworld Fire" given away by Gu Shen was more than he currently possessed!

He gave fifty percent to Mu Wanqiu and ten percent to Shen Li, leaving only forty percent of the original Netherworld Fire.

Before inheriting greater power of "Netherworld Fire", he would not choose another Angel.

Because he truly had no more "Netherworld Fire" to divide.

In the history of the Five Continents, this should be the most for the Divine Throne...

The tiny thread of black flame embedded itself into Shen Li’s forehead, forming a strand bound to his pupil. Little Iron Man furrowed his brows as wind blew through his hair, the black flame on his forehead struggling and etching patterns.

He received recognition from the "Netherworld King"!

The surrounding Spirit Space began to transform, the wind howling, Shen Li felt a hint of coldness, and upon opening his eyes, he beheld an extremely majestic, grand ice and snow world, with towering ancient trees draping down millions of green shades, the wilderness stretching around, with one section already completed with refinement.

In the flower garden, moths fluttered among butterflies, emitting bursts of source fragrance.

Arriving here as the Netherworld King’s Apostle drew the gaze of many souls, including Li Qingci, Tie Wu, and others who witnessed Shen Li’s arrival. However, what they saw was a blurry figure shrouded in ice and snow.

"Lord Divine, brought someone here for a visit again?"

Tie Wu rubbed his chin, amusement in his eyes.

Actually, in sequence of time, he was the first "Angel" accepted by Gu Shen.

Tie Wu remembered clearly, back then, he habitually addressed Gu Shen as "Divine Throne", while Gu Shen insisted he be called "Sir".

Now, he no longer cared about the title "Angel" or otherwise, those are just empty names...

After "dying" from the divine descent at Wine God’s throne, Tie Wu gradually attained enlightenment in the Pure Land.

Now, only his empty soul remains... his sole endeavor, to make the Pure Land World more magnificent and complete.

As for going out into the world to assist and resolve difficulties for the Divine Throne, he couldn’t manage that.

Thus, he couldn’t hold the title of "Angel".

However, in the Pure Land World, whenever Gu Shen’s spirit descends, Tie Wu would silently address him as "Divine Throne," no matter how many times Gu Shen tried to correct him, it couldn’t be corrected...
