Light Fortress-Chapter 1503 - 213: He Is Still Alive (3)

Bai Shu did not answer the question directly.

Instead, he posed a rhetorical question.

"If everyone thinks Gu Shen is alive, then... what good does it do for the East Continent?"

Chu Ling was taken aback.

As the "source code" left by Mr. Turing, her mission was to help Gu Shen survive, so all her decisions, all her arrangements, all her plans... were designed to ensure Gu Shen lived longer and grew stronger for the future.

But Bai Shu’s words woke her up.

The situation in the Five Continents is becoming increasingly tense, and the Netherworld King’s identity can no longer be concealed.

As long as Gu Shen "lives," he will attract attention, from the Four Divine Envoys, the Blessed Son, and next from the top forces of the Five Continents and the Angel Envoy!

For the Netherworld King, "living" is not a good thing.

"You see, sometimes ’death’ is not necessarily a bad thing." Bai Shu saw Chu Ling fall into silence and knew she understood, so he smiled slightly: "Gu Shen needs time too much. But as long as he lives, and lives in the public eye, he won’t have time... The Source Tower, Light City, and Storm Church are all closely watching him. Then there will be endless pressure and murderous intent directed at him. When this murderous intent accumulates too much, it will crush him, and the day the Netherworld King’s Spark appears, will be the moment the Divine War breaks out. How long do you think the living Gu Shen can bear the weight of this spark?"

"So, you arranged for him to die in the ’flames’ of Tanyao’s outbreak?"

Chu Ling still couldn’t comprehend.

How did Gu Shen end up buried beneath Tanyao?

"No, this was not arranged by me."

Bai Shu calmly said, "You must understand, I am just a martial artist, and only wish to be a martial artist. Other people are orchestrating these matters; what I did was at most cooperative. From the day I took the spark from Gu Changzhi, I knew what my mission was. I am waiting for the real Divine War to begin; then, not for all beings, but only for myself, to fight an exhilarating battle."

He was pure from beginning to end.

More than twenty years ago.

Bai Shu firmly chose the "Battle Fire," and even without success, he never turned to other flame powers.

Now, as he merges with the Battle Fire in the cemetery, his aura becomes sharper and more invincible!

"However..."

"There’s one thing I can tell you clearly: since you have come to the world, ’live’ well, cherish these scant moments, and do not attempt to find the real truth."

Bai Shu looked at Chu Ling, offering earnest advice: "The causes and effects involved before and after Sangzhou Cave are too long; even I cannot see clearly. With your current divination skill talent, even if you exhaust all the life of this body, you won’t see through even a hint of the shadow... You will gain nothing."

Chu Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

She turned to leave the Golden Divine Domain.

Bai Shu suddenly spoke: "If someone asks, you know what to say, right?"

The woman in the red-white goddess gown had no sadness or joy on her face; she was like this the moment she descended to the world, and was like this when she learned Gu Shen was still alive...

This reaction put Bai Shu at ease.

If someone asks, the answer is not important.

What is important is the expression of the person involved and the subtle fluctuations of the spirit. In this regard, Chu Ling does excellent; she is like an emotionless machine.

That is why Bai Shu previously mentioned Lin Lin, referring to him as a "silly boy."

It was because Lin Lin did poorly in this aspect.

Because of the different displays between the two, the answers they received were also different.

Bai Shu decided to tell Chu Ling the truth.

While on the other side... the Empress gave her brother a kind lie.

"Rest assured."

At the end of the Divine Domain, Chu Ling paused, expressionless, and said: "Lying is a required skill for AI."
