Light Fortress

Chapter 1799: Chapter 426: Faith and Slaughter (Part 2)

"Kill!"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, shouting angrily, the Flowing Fire Long Leaves, transformed from countless gothocarp tree leaves, shot towards the Light God’s Seat.

Mr. Gu Changzhi also raised his fist.

Boom——

The entire void was engulfed by Chi Huo and the fierce intent to fight and kill!

...

...

A cloud ship advanced steadily yet slowly in the void.

The reason for its steadiness.

Is because this cloud ship had long obtained the final coordinates of this journey, at this moment simply proceeding according to the predetermined course, with nothing else to do.

As for the slowness...

It’s because the master of this cloud ship had not yet made up his mind about something.

When a person hasn’t made up their mind, they become hesitant.

Meng Xizhou stood by the window, silently watching the void fragments flow by, this was the [Old World], with no reverse-flowing trees, only countless meteor-like floating land debris. Her spiritual power was controlling the cloud ship. Besides her, no one else had heard the conversation with the Light God’s Seat.

So they didn’t know where the cloud ship was headed now.

However...

The expression on Meng Xizhou’s face and the speed of the cloud ship still exposed some issues.

"Lady Divine, you seem hesitant."

Batu walked over to Meng Xizhou, since that night of the Red Lake Incident, he had quickly chosen a new camp.

There was a significant reason Meng Xizhou could so quickly take charge of the temple, due to the support from this Third Elder. After the deaths of Gao Mo and Yuan Yang, Batu held the highest rank among the Temple Elders, managing many matters in Sunset Mountain and Light City.

The only dispute he couldn’t resolve was the West Sea Crossing.

Of course, Meng Xizhou wouldn’t reject such support from Batu.

This Third Elder was indeed diligent.

Thus, on this voyage, she also brought Batu along. She hadn’t hidden even the plan to take the Sacrificial to the [Old World] to greet the Light God’s Seat from him.

"Some things, I thought would be easy."

Looking at Batu, Meng Xizhou said softly, "But when you truly encounter them, you’ll find they aren’t so simple."

The two exchanged glances.

Batu said, "As a Believer of the Light Church, I only know one thing. From the moment I stepped into the church, my life belonged to the light."

Meng Xizhou raised her eyebrows, saying nothing.

She neither agreed nor disagreed.

She merely remained silent.

"In my heart, light is equivalent to the Divine Throne. Who is more significant, I’m not clear. After serving Sunset Mountain for so long, I’ve been unable to tell whether it’s because Lord Divine existed first, that brought about the sunrise in Light City, or the sunrise that brought about Lord Divine."

Batu continued with a smile, "What I really want to say is, my life used to belong to Lord Divine... but soon, my life will completely belong to you. No matter what decision you make, I will give my all." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"..."

Meng Xizhou continued her silence.

Batu was here to express his loyalty.

To have chosen his camp so swiftly during the Red Lake Incident, he was indeed a shrewd man.

To put it another way.

He was a sly opportunist.

The reason Batu spoke such words to her was not only to express loyalty, but there was another layer of meaning.

Now, Meng Xizhou held almost all power in Light City... Lord Divine had entrusted nearly all authority to this Goddess, with the entire church, the myriad believers across the four realms of the West Continent, speculating about the future of the Light Church.

If nothing unexpected happened.

The next Flame Master would be Meng Xizhou.

Batu wanted to convey that his life belonged to the Divine Throne. If the Divine Throne were to die, then he would serve the new Divine Throne.

This was a form of compliment.

Hearing news of preordained ascension, anyone would feel pleased to some extent.

But Meng Xizhou showed little expression.

She merely shook her head, lightly saying, "I don’t need you to dedicate your life to me. You should live for yourself."

Batu was stunned.

He stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to continue chatting or remain silent.

"Living for the light is a good thing. But whether you’re living for ’Light God’s Seat’ or for the light in your heart... these are two different matters."

Meng Xizhou looked into Batu’s eyes, enunciating each word, "I hope you can think carefully about this sentence."

A hint of fear appeared in Batu’s expression.

Light does not equal the Light God’s Seat... such words, surprisingly spoken by the Goddess.

"Let the cloud ship stop here."

Meng Xizhou exhaled a long breath.

She looked at Batu and said, "Next, you will take control of this cloud ship. If Wei Cheng releases the boundary permissions of Chanyi City, and the West Continent Fleet sails into the [Old World], you will also be responsible for connecting."

"Are you leaving the cloud ship?"

Batu’s expression became even more fearful, with a hint of worry.

"Some things have nothing to do with you all."

Meng Xizhou said calmly, "I want to go and see a certain place in the [Old World] alone, just myself, that’s enough."

"The [Old World] is all disorderly substance, and there are many black spots..."

Batu just started speaking when he immediately halted.

"Dang!"

A crisp sound.

Meng Xizhou’s fingers touched the clear, bright glass. At this moment, the veil on her transformed into a luminescent glow, her long hair fluttering without wind also turned into light, and everything all over her body became light.

Nothing in this world can block light.
