Are the peaceful days coming to an end?

What does this mean?

Gu Shen was startled for a moment, then looked towards the direction where the inner tomb was surrounded by golden light. Mr. Bai Shu closed the entrance to the inner tomb... he closed the golden divine realm, and the layers of divine light gradually shrank.

"These days, there have been some changes in the Supreme Seat. I will be in seclusion for a while."

Bai Shu said softly: "Perhaps because of the appearance of the 'Traveler', the growth rate of the source of matter outside the Five Continents world is skyrocketing. After a while, a meeting will be held at the highest level... There may be a God's Throne, leaving the Five Continents,

Look what is happening outside the old world."

Gu Shen immediately became nervous.

If a meeting is to be held at the highest level, wouldn't it be possible that his identity as "Pluto" would be exposed?

Pluto is dead, and no matter what happens, he is destined not to show up.

If Pluto doesn't show up on such an important occasion... those gods from other continents will definitely be suspicious.

"There are some things you don't have to worry about."

Bai Shu said gently: "If the sky falls, tall people will hold it up. The guy from Beizhou and I have already laid out the plan and prepared some means... You just need to practice in seclusion. Whatever you encounter, do whatever you want. No need."

Thinking too much.”

Nothing in this world is more reassuring than these words.

Gu Shen looked at the shimmering inner mausoleum with complicated eyes. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter, and he felt a sense of joy at this moment.

He was born in the worst of times.

The God of War in Dongzhou fell and was besieged on all sides.

But this is also the best era.

Mr. Bai Shu, who smelted fire, helped him hold back the last crumbling sky... If there was no new Dou Zhan, how long could he mediate and survive under the covetousness of the Outer Sea God?

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

The days of peace are coming to an end... No matter how strong Mr. Bai Shu is, he is still just one person.

He must grow up soon.

Gu Shen left the cemetery and returned to Shenci Mountain.

In the days that followed, Gu Shen concentrated on practicing.

…

…

Seven days pass by in the blink of an eye.

For these seven days, Gu Shen and Chu Ling stayed together on the top of the temple, watching the flowers bloom and fade, and the black and white intertwined.

During this period, Gu Shen concentrated on tempering the "fire of vitality".

As Bai Zhu said, if you want to go further to the eighth level of the deep sea, there is no shortcut -

Accumulating "field embryos" is an inevitable chore!

Fortunately, he has the blessing of the spectator's state of mind and his mind is as calm as water, so he can practice with half the effort. Although these small flames grow slowly, he can still see them getting stronger every day.

Chu Ling, on the other hand, is practicing "ancient prose".

After she was born, she was not interested in extraordinary practice. Instead, she had a desire to explore the lost "forbidden ancient texts"... However, this is also in line with common sense. The time she was born was limited, and extraordinary practice is destined to be a long process. If you concentrate on practice,

You may not be able to achieve great results, it will only be a waste of time.

And if you study ancient texts, as a super AI, her thinking ability, memory depth, and deduction speed will all provide unprecedented blessings. In this field, she is an unprecedented "bug-level" existence.

There is no fixed direction in human life.

Everyone has the right to choose to pursue what they "love".

Fortunately, not long after Chu Ling was born, she found her own direction in life.

During these seven days, she stayed with Gu Shen. She taught Li Qingci the divination technique, and began to learn the forbidden wishing technique that Li had inherited for six hundred years... Learning ancient literature is a long process, and Li Qingci is not Qian Ye.

, her learning speed is very slow, and her teaching speed is also very slow. According to this progress, one birth is far from enough for learning.

Chu Ling was not in a hurry.

She came to the world not to "study".

She enjoyed every breath of air she breathed and every ray of sunshine she saw in this world... Just like that, on the evening of the seventh day, at sunset, the time for Chu Ling's "birth" came to an end.

Gu Shen and her stood on the top of Shenci Mountain. Most of the haze that had shrouded the place all year round had dissipated, revealing the dome of clouds over Wonderland and a ray of bright and pale moonlight.

The setting sun sinks into the earth, and the long night begins.

day to day.

Every creature on the earth will welcome this change.

It's just that... tonight is the last night of Chu Ling's "life". She is sitting on the top of the mountain, with her bare feet, imitating Li Qingsui and swaying her feet. The mountain spring water is gurgling by, washing the white of her red dress.

At the end of her shirt, she pressed her hands between the rugged rocks, her snow-white fingers looking vaguely illusory, as if they were floating and dispersing into light.

"This is the first time I have seen such a bright moonlight in Shenci Mountain."

Chu Ling raised his head with a smile in his voice.

Gu Shen followed her example and sat down, the hem of his black trench coat flying in the air.

"The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful..."

The black flowers on the top of the mountain have almost been uprooted.

Although these quantities are only a drop in the bucket compared to the "pollution" of the entire temple mountain... But this is a good start. Everything in the world needs a sign before it gets better.

Even if it's just a little bit.

The waterfall gurgled, and the wind blew through it, carrying petals as pink as white as snow.

Chu Ling stretched out her hand, picked up the petals with two slender fingers, and placed them between her temples with ease. She liked white flowers very much, not only because they were beautiful... but also because they foreshadowed "life" and "hope."

, most people are always full of expectations and love for things they have never really owned.

Chu Ling gently hummed a ditty.

She couldn't remember what the specific track was... It seemed to emerge from her memory. This was not the ability of [Source Code], but the talent and instinct she had after transforming into an adult.

When encountering sad things, you will feel sad and cry.

When you encounter something happy, you will be happy and excited.

But at this moment, when she was about to leave, her emotions were somewhere between the two... The four bronze lamps that gave [Source Code] life seemed to encompass all the emotions of the world in every possible way.

But the "emotions" a living person has are not just as simple as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy?

How can four words describe everything a person has experienced in his life?

She lived again.

This time, she saw the forest of Linz and the sea of ​​the Rhine. She traveled far away with her beloved, watching the sunrise and sunset, the ebb and flow of the tide... But now, it was time to say goodbye again.

This little tune sounds like the wind on a new night, melodious and relaxed, but in fact it will dissipate after a while and will never stay until the next day, and the exact same tune will never appear again in the future.

She hummed softly.

Gu Shen also listened quietly.

"It's really strange..."

After the song ended, Chu Ling asked with a smile: "Obviously after the physical body dissipated, my spirit was still in the deep water. I knew we would meet again in the future... Why do I still feel sad in my heart at this moment?"

Gu Shen was silent for a long time.

He said softly: "Maybe it's because you are not really sure that we will meet again."

This is not a gentle love statement.

But it awakened Chu Ling.

Yes... after all, she is just an ethereal spirit, without a real physical body. If she wants to "live", she needs to rely on the "sacred well" in the Shenci Mountain to accumulate source matter and store energy.

But "Sacred Well" is not stable.

Even she herself doesn't know when she will be born next.

Or...is there really another birth?

"So that's it..."

Chu Ling's eyes were a little enlightened, but she was still smiling: "It turns out that my sadness is because every time we part, it may be an eternal farewell."

"I don't know about the others, but I know... at least this separation won't be forever."

Gu Shen said seriously: "I will do my best to maintain the order of the Temple Mountain. When I smelt fire and control life and death, I will find you a 'flesh body' that will last forever, and I will make you truly...

Alive."

Chu Ling looked at Gu Shen blankly.
