CHAPTER 1080: CHAPTER 28: COMPETING WITH THE LIGHT FOR THE ANGEL ENVOY

"Congratulations, you’ve finally managed a breakthrough."

Chu Ling put the little white flower back on.

She really liked this flower.

This was the first time Chu Ling had congratulated so formally.

Because her time "alive" in this world was limited... she cherished each encounter with Gu Shen, treasured every moment living in this beautiful world.

"The breakthrough isn’t a big deal."

Gu Shen laughed lightly, he wasn’t lying, though he had successfully made a breakthrough, the joy in his heart was not much.

To become the Netherworld King, to forge the flame seed, these difficulties must be overcome—

Chi Huo’s domain embryo was just a small bottleneck.

He felt the changes in his internal domain, initially just a "Pure Land," now his Spirit Sea had an additional wisp of warm fiery essence, which was the "Life Flame" he cultivated himself!

"The blessing of three breakthroughs, originally my Spirit Sea was a normal fourth-tier scale."

Gu Shen clenched his fist, trying to feel the strength, whispering: "Now... with Chi Huo condensing the ’embryo,’ my Spirit Sea has expanded once more."

This expansion was truly alarming.

Gu Shen estimated slightly, his Spirit Sea’s strength now reached the same level as an ordinary captain on a restart mission!

He himself was amazed.

"If I ascend to the ’Deep Sea Ninth Layer’... then won’t my Spirit Sea be able to rival top fourth-tier figures like Fisher and Zhong Yuan?"

He squinted his eyes, hardly daring to believe.

"Is this the amplification brought by the Super Third Realm?"

In the third tier, Gu Shen possessed unprecedentedly strong combat power; theoretically, after the second Super Realm, he already had the posture of a prodigy, like that S-level monster Mu Wanqiu, who could cross realms to fight when in the Deep Sea Ninth Layer.

But Gu Shen in the third Super Realm was far stronger than Mu Wanqiu!

This span was probably what ordinary geniuses saw as an insurmountable... chasm when looking at S-level.

The only trouble was that carrying the amplification of the ’third Super Realm,’ the promotion became incredibly difficult... Gu Shen couldn’t imagine the cost of condensing his "domain."

[The more one possesses, the slower one walks.]

This is the eternal iron rule of the Extraordinary Realm!

"Boom——"

Just at this moment, above Divine Temple Mountain, the sky covered in dark clouds suddenly had a disturbance.

All the clouds were pierced by a ray of golden light.

Li Qingci’s expression suddenly tightened; having resided in the Divine Temple Mountain Territory for many years, she had never seen such a spectacle... As the Protector of Divine Temple Mountain, she vaguely felt that this ray of golden light seemed to breach the Miao Jing.

Was this "will" shining from the outside world?

"Do not worry."

Chu Ling stood up, she reached out a hand to gently pat Li Qingci, comforting her: "This is ’Divine Thought.’

Li Qingci froze.

Divine Thought?

Yes... this was indeed the will shining into Divine Temple Mountain from the outside! And across the entire East Continent, only one person could do such a thing!

Battle God Throne, Bai Shu!

The golden light shone down, falling on the mountaintop.

Though this ray of light was mighty, it did not disrupt the balance that Divine Temple Mountain Miao Jing had formed over millennia, showing the visitor’s intention was gentle...

The three people bowed respectfully upon seeing the golden light.

In the golden light, the solemn scene of Bai Shu sitting in the Golden Divine Domain slowly appeared.

Bai Shu spoke with a mellow voice, smiling: "Xiao Gu, congratulations on cultivating your own ’domain embryo.’

Li Qingci was shaken with emotion, looking perplexedly at Gu Shen, this ’divine intervention’ was truly beyond her expectation... She knew Gu Shen had good relations with the Bai Family, and had an extraordinary relationship with the new Divine Throne.

But no matter how good, it shouldn’t be this good, right?

Gu Shen broke through the eighth layer, and the Divine Throne personally sent his will to congratulate?

She pondered deeply, suddenly realizing something... Could Bai Shu Divine Throne regard Gu Shen as his "successor?"

"Thank you, Lord Divine."

Gu Shen himself was surprised, aware that the seemingly hidden happenings of Divine Temple Mountain couldn’t escape Bai Shu’s sight... But was breaking through a small realm really this solemn?

Wait, the moment I break through, Bai Shu’s divine intervention.

Evidently, he’s been waiting for a long time.

Gu Shen guessed Mr. Bai Shu must have something waiting for him, knowing he’s been in seclusion these days, decided not to disturb.

Sure enough, a gentle voice came from the Golden Divine Domain: "Gu Shen, breakthrough isn’t easy, if you find yourself puzzled with your current cultivation, come to Qingzhong to find me, I’ll be waiting in the old place."

Such a hint, those who understand, naturally understand.

Gu Shen exchanged a glance with Chu Ling.

He bowed again, thanking softly: "Yes... thank you, Lord Divine."

...

...

Gu Shen entered the mausoleum again.

This time, just reaching the Outer Tomb, he understood the reason Mr. Bai Shu called him over.

In the thick fog, knelt a straight figure.

Song Ci.

"Xiao Gu, you’re here?"

The Crow had been kneeling for a long time.

Seeing the visitor, he couldn’t help but smile, though his face couldn’t hide the tiredness... clearly, he had been kneeling before Qingzhong Mausoleum for many days.

"You this..."

Gu Shen rubbed his forehead, involuntarily feeling a headache.

The moment he saw Song Ci, he guessed the cause and effect.

This guy, well-off offered chance is refused, only after offending Divine Throne did he think to try again.

This matter, can it be solved by kneeling endlessly?
