Light Fortress

Chapter 1805: Chapter 428: Solar Radiance

"No pain at all."

Meng Xizhou spoke calmly, looking at Gu Shen’s shattered young body in the void, shaking her head.

"If killing one could bring peace to the world, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it ten thousand times."

"If that’s the case, I’m relieved to entrust you with the ’fire seed’..."

The old man extended two fingers and pinched a small spark from his brow, saying meaningfully, "After I’m gone, you must lead Light City to greater heights, to a brighter place."

For the Deep Sea, seeing Gu Shen’s body shattered meant the mission was already accomplished.

This time, the scheme was a resounding success.

Only, this final act had to be played out to the end.

The upcoming situation in the Five Continents Inland will become extremely turbulent; it needs to ensure that after receiving the fire seed, Meng Xizhou follows the correct path under its guidance.

This act is a crucial step.

The small spark radiated great light in the darkness.

This time, Meng Xizhou saw clearly.

Every strand of light entwining the Light Fire was incredibly clear in her eyes.

Even if these pure lights were wrapped a thousand layers deep, she could see them with utmost clarity.

"...Yes."

Meng Xizhou tried to keep her voice steady as she reached out to take the small spark, then without hesitation began to fuse it, countless slender rays tearing through the darkness rushing into her brow.

The origin power contained in the Light Fire also began to pour into her.

Fusing the fire seed is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it is a long process. Yet the moment fusion begins, the corresponding power of authority origin is obtained.

"..."

The Deep Sea gently smiled at this scene.

Meng Xizhou is an entity beyond its plan, and it always sought a more fitting piece to take over the West Continent after the destruction of the Divine Throne’s mortal vessel... But now, it seems unnecessary. Meng Xizhou seemed to have a strong desire for the "Light Fire," immediately starting fusion upon taking over the fire seed.

Indeed.

Is there truly a saint devoid of desires in this world?

Even if Meng Xizhou held a genuine grand vision of saving all beings, she would need sufficient power to support it.

The desire for the fire seed, the desire for divine power, is quite natural.

After the Deep Sea handed over the fire seed, the body, belonging to the Light God’s Seat, could no longer hold together, its skin and flesh collapsing like ash.

Before dying, it turned toward the direction it came from.

In the pitch-black void, there was a rumbling sound...

That was the sound of the Source Energy Boat.

...

...

The East Continent fleet was suspended before the cage made of fragile hanging wood, which was essentially already broken.

The long leaves, like flowing fire, had already withered, leaving only a circle of hazy glow that could extinguish at any moment.

Inside this gigantic cage, countless spinning light fragments could vaguely be seen... These light fragments contained immense power, evident to any Transcendent with a certain level of insight that these light fragments did not belong to the mundane, but to a higher level of power.

That is the origin, the authority of the Divine Throne.

"The Light God’s Seat... is dead."

Luo Yu looked at the withered cage before him in shock.

After parting with Bai Xiu, the East Continent fleet had rushed forward tirelessly, and Luo Yu, all along, had been observing, having actually guessed what the Young Master was worried about.

The Young Master worried that the Light God’s Seat might kill Gu Shen... But judging by the glow emanating from the cage, the outcome of this battle seemed contrary to expectations: the Light God’s Seat, one of the seven gods, had actually died within this cage made of fragile hanging wood— the fragments of light scattered now serving as the best proof.

But what about Gu Shen?

The inner layer of the cage was still enveloped by a powerful energy. The fleet hovered outside layers of light fragments, and Gu Nanfeng raised a hand to signal not to advance; just stop there.

He stood at the forefront of the Source Energy Boat, silently staring at the blinding Holy Light.

Luo Yu couldn’t see the scene inside the cage clearly.

He couldn’t either.

The only thing visible to him was the indistinct silhouette of a woman within the cage.

"...West Continent."

Gu Nanfeng’s gaze was somewhat complicated, as he alone darted away, the [Lan Qie] domain slicing through the sky.

More than one person had asked him what he saw at the bottom of Red Lake.

Gu Nanfeng’s answer was always consistent.

He claimed he saw nothing.

But in truth, he had seen during a divination at the Forbidden Book Tower beneath Red Lake countless stars collapsing and exploding in the starry sky—that was the Forbidden Book Tower’s foresight about the future, one scene being exactly what the [Old World] witnessed now, with the dim void wrapped in glow.

The withered cage of fragile hanging wood emitted the smell of fresh blood.

Come a little closer.

He would see the woman reborn in the glow.

Gu Nanfeng stood before the cage, the suspended array of the East Continent fleet behind him, while before him was that vague graceful young figure.

"Shhh."

He took a deep breath, hesitated no longer, and used a wooden blade to pierce through a piece of hanging wood leaf, stepping inside. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Boom!"

The gust of wind hit his face, the vast origin power washing over like a torrent.

Gu Nanfeng’s robe flapped in the wind before him, the West Continent Goddess who had arduously fused a strand of Light Fire’s power. The entire interior of the cage was enveloped by the ferocious breath of the Light Fire; this Divine War had just concluded, the former Light God’s Seat reduced to dust, utterly obliterated and shattered, and now the new God’s Seat wielding the fire seed had emerged.
