CHAPTER 1081: CHAPTER 28: COMPETING WITH LIGHT FOR THE ANGEL ENVOY (PART 2)

Song Ci scratched his head, said nothing, and kept his kneeling position, smiling: "Don’t mind me, you go about your business... The scenery here is nice, I want to take a look, hmm, this position is quite good."

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart and said gently: "You keep kneeling, let’s talk after I come out."

Stepping into the mist, he was immediately enveloped by a golden divine light.

No need for Gu Shen to act further, within the Divine Domain, it’s all under Bai Shu’s control. After entering the mist and taking just a few steps, he was in front of the Divine Throne, where the winds of the Four Seasons Wilderness blew gently, bringing tranquility.

Bai Shu sat before the ancient coffin, serene and composed.

Three overlapping timelines converged on him... This was his normal appearance when refining the fire seeds in cultivation, a phenomenon far more terrifying than Gu Shen’s breakthrough at Divine Temple Mountain.

He opened his eyes, and the three-fold Reverse Flow instantly overlapped.

"Xiao Gu, you’re here."

Bai Shu’s voice sounded somewhat helpless.

He spoke seriously: "You should let the one outside the mausoleum return soon."

Even as Gu Shen had guessed what the situation might be, hearing these words, his heart couldn’t help but sink.

He hurriedly asked: "Senior... Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

"Since you’ve entered the mausoleum, why ask knowingly?"

Bai Shu looked at Gu Shen and said: "Song Ci changed his mind and wants to follow me in cultivation. But some things, once missed, won’t have a second opportunity... It’s not that I don’t want to teach him, but because he initially rejected me."

Once becoming a Divine Throne, one possesses all sorts of unimaginable powers.

Listening to this, Gu Shen knew that Bai Shu previously extended an olive branch because he saw the connection of destiny between Song Ci and himself, wanting to nurture talent. Unfortunately, Song Ci’s refusal indicated that they were not destined, and it was certain that their connection was to be severed.

"Thinking carefully, he already has a ’token,’ and for me, teaching more would indeed be unsuitable."

Bai Shu said: "However, I have removed the ’Light Legacy Dream’ from him, so you can be assured of this."

He did this not merely because of Gu Shen’s request.

Song Ci belongs to the genius of the East Continent!

Even if Gu Shen hadn’t intervened, Bai Shu, upon knowing it, would have taken action to remove the Dream of Light, as he would never allow the Light God’s Seat to extend its influence into his territory, disturbing the people he protects!

"During the removal process, I found his spirit had already highly merged with the Light Token... He borrowed a lot of ’Light God’s Seat’ power for battle."

"Destiny is fair; borrow as much, repay as much." Bai Shu said: "Even if the divine power he borrowed was freely given by the Light God’s Seat... At the moment of using it, Song Ci was bound with Light. So even though I can expel the Light Will with Battle Divine Fire, preventing Light’s guidance from entering dreams, I cannot cleanse the fate binding Song Ci and Light."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen understood.

Whether Light or Battle... Essentially, these two fires were birthed from the Gospel Box’s "product," their levels not distinctly ranked. Therefore, what Bai Shu could achieve was to use his own fire’s power to contend with the will of the Light God’s Seat.

He couldn’t revoke Song Ci’s "Angel Envoy" status.

"What is destined must come to be, what is not destined should not be forced."

Bai Shu’s gaze, penetrating layers of Golden Divine Domain, said slowly: "Xiao Gu, you can have Chu Ling use ’Divination Skill’ to take a look; just one look is enough... The fate line between Song Ci and me is no longer entangled. So, let him stop kneeling outside the mausoleum."

This being said.

Gu Shen could only remain silent, having initially intended to enter the mausoleum to plead with Mr. Bai Shu for a chance.

Now...

He could only give up.

"It’s a pity I wanted to find an ’Angel Envoy’, but West Continent was one step ahead." Bai Shu said with a hint of regret: "If Song Ci hadn’t been bound with the Light Token, I would certainly have recruited him."

This is destiny.

"Mr. Bai Shu, if Song Ci returns to Da Du... will he still be entangled by the ’Dream of Light’?"

Gu Shen pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

"I have used ’fire seed’ to expel Light’s will. As long as he doesn’t come into contact with the token, he will be unharmed." Bai Shu shook his head.

Gu Shen asked again: "But what if he contacts the token?"

"That can’t be certain." Bai Shu frowned.

His Battle Divine Power, like Light’s power, is of the same level.

Currently, Song Ci’s situation is entirely different from Fisher; the "Living Fish" of yore resisted the Holy Judge’s temptation, never binding his fate with Light.

But Song Ci, by now, counts as Light’s "Angel Envoy"!

"So... upon another contact, Song Ci might still dream of the ’Red Lake,’ right?"

"..."

Bai Shu remained silent, unable to promise anything.

"Within the East Continent, many zealots still lurk... If given the chance, to thoroughly infect ’Song Ci,’ these people will certainly act, caring little for their lives." Gu Shen said slowly: "These people are madmen."

Bai Shu had already guessed what Gu Shen was about to say next.

He said with a headache: "So?"

"Mr. Bai Shu, regardless, I cannot accept more under Light’s command such as one ’Angel Envoy’..." Gu Shen stared at Bai Shu, saying word by word: "The fate line between Song Ci and me will not sever; he is my dear friend, and I will snatch him back from Light!"
