Light Fortress-Chapter 1414 - 181: Divine’s Container (Part 2)

Back then, Di Jiu saved his physical body.

And now, Gu Shen has rescued his spirit.

Among these two on the Divine Throne, the one who truly made him feel "alive" was not the God of Wine... but Gu Shen.

Therefore, this call of "Divine Throne" was a heartfelt term from Tie Wu.

...

...

Above the wilderness, there is a land untouched by snow and ice.

This is the Immaculate domain where the spirit of the Angel Envoy meets the Netherworld King. From the distant end of the wild grass fluttering, Shen Li saw a graceful figure clad in Red Armor.

"Gu Shen."

Mu Wanqiu did not address Gu Shen as Divine Throne; she called him by name.

Gu Shen nodded with a smile.

The two were originally friends, and Gu Shen himself disliked the "apostle" hierarchy of the Source Tower.

"This is Shen Li, currently the second Angel Envoy in Pure Land."

Gu Shen introduced to Mu Wanqiu.

The latter glanced at Little Iron Man and softly acknowledged, "I’ve heard."

"Pleasure to meet you."

Shen Li hid his previous gesture of rolling up his sleeves well, and he extended a hand with a smile.

Seemingly as cold as an iceberg, Mu Wanqiu was not aloof.

She generously extended her hand and shook Shen Li’s, while looking at Gu Shen.

"You seem urgent to ’summon’ an Angel Envoy... after dispersing these Netherworld Fires, do you have enough left for yourself?"

Mu Wanqiu’s words served as a reminder to Gu Shen. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Enough."

He laughed and said, "It’s peculiar...I know I shouldn’t proceed with ’summoning’ the Angel Envoy at this stage, yet there is an ominous feeling in the depths of my mind, compelling me to do so."

Mu Wanqiu raised an eyebrow, "Sounds ominous."

Gu Shen mocked himself, "The Netherworld King never encounters favorable events."

"If ’Netherworld Fire’ is insufficient, I have more here."

Mu Wanqiu glanced at Shen Li and then back at Gu Shen, calmly stating, "At least... more than you. If needed, I can return them all to you."

"What kind of words are those? Sent out ’Netherworld Fire’, just like water, it can’t be taken back, right?"

Gu Shen smiled slightly, "Of course, if truly necessary, I wouldn’t stand on ceremony with you."

"Very well."

Mu Wanqiu typically spoke straightforwardly, "I didn’t come for the ’second Angel Envoy,’ besides the ’Netherworld Fire’ matter, there’s something else."

"A Beast Tide has suddenly surged in all directions from Sangzhou Cave, and Deep Sea has issued an A+ danger rating."

The red-armored woman waved her hand, bringing forth a series of spiritual scenes.

Due to the spread of Tanyao Volcano’s ash.

Deep Sea’s visual exploration of Sangzhou Cave is gradually shrinking, with Heavenly Eye’s large-scale malfunction... the available information is very limited at the moment.

"The quantity of these Beast Spirits far exceeds the previous estimates of the Underground Research Institute; just in Beiku Forest alone, there are nearly thirty thousand Beast Spirits running south."

Mu Wanqiu solemnly stated, "Annual reports from Sangzhou Cave have never found such a large habitation of Beast Spirits... even if it’s ’Transcendent mutation,’ these creatures have reproduced too rapidly, which is unreasonable."

"Indeed, it’s unreasonable."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes, "Just moments ago, South Cave was also hit by the Beast Tide..."

"..."

Shen Li thought of his deeds after becoming gluttonous, keeping silent on the topic.

"They seem to have been stimulated by something."

Mu Wanqiu said, "Such a large scale and the simultaneous Beast Tide from all sides... it’s difficult to explain away as ’coincidence’."

"There’s no such thing as coincidence in this world."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and said, "Remember the ’baby’ Gu Xiaoman picked up?"

"Divine Infant?"

Mu Wanqiu had visited once in the S12 district.

That time, she delivered a Sixth-Order Source Armor for Gu Shen and stayed in the city for half an hour.

Gu Shen, along with his bearer of the crown, toured the Neutral Mansion and that seemingly perfect, except its "head" was empty, baby.

"During this Beast Tide outbreak, the ’Divine Infant’ showed a mental wave going from zero to one."

The S12 district has always monitored the Divine Infant.

As soon as this phenomenon appeared, Qi Mo immediately contacted Gu Shen and mentioned Adam’s situation... leading Gu Shen to rush to the forest in time to stop Tie Tu at a critical moment.

Gu Shen guided kindly, "What does it mean that the Divine Infant showed mental wave activity?"

Mu Wanqiu murmured, "This ’baby’ isn’t truly devoid of a Spirit Sea... it possesses a certain special ability, perhaps to summon ’Tanyao’ or perhaps to attract ’Beast Tide’..."

Whichever it is, "spirit" is needed.

Gu Shen nodded, "Yes, the manifestation of ability is ’spiritual’ fluctuations."

"Sorry to interrupt..."

At this moment, Shen Li, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up softly.

His task this time was to guard Adam.

In some sense, he failed the mission, even though gluttonousization killed the Great Winged Sparrow King, Adam was nowhere to be found.

But he heard the entire conversation between Adam and Qi Mo earlier.

Including some information about the ’Divine Infant.’

Shen Li understood everything he needed to.

Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu turned to Little Iron Man, who scratched his head and slowly asked, "Do you think... that clever yet seemingly foolish baby is like an empty shell?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the wilderness became quiet.

Empty shell.

This is a very apt and resonant adjective.

Can eat, sleep, blink eyes.

Cannot speak, act, or grow up.
