Capítulo 1014: Chapter 169: Releasing the Traveller (Third Update)
Zhu Xue arrived at the loft hall.
Legion Commander Purple Rain was patiently waiting… This time, Gu Shen’s conversation with Her Majesty the Empress on the second floor lasted much longer than last time.
“It’s been two hours already, still not over?”
Zhu Xue handed a document to Purple Rain: “Here, this is the handling plan regarding ‘Li Bing’… please take a look. If there are no issues, it will be implemented next.”
The affairs of the Xiang Chen Manor have already been taken over by Zhu Xue.
This is no small matter.
Light City attempts to use ‘Believers’ to infiltrate the legions in the North Continent… and judging from the exposure of Li Bing this time, they have already successfully planted Hidden Children.
Besides Dongning City, what other fortresses are controlled by Light?
As those in high positions, the “Game Players” Zhu Xue and Purple Rain must find out these Hidden Children and “remove” them one by one… After this event, the relationship between the Lin Family and Light City has been severely shattered.
There is no trust between the two sides.
“Hmm… Promoting Li Bing to deputy of Luoyin City Fortress in three months?”
Looking at the document, Purple Rain frowned.
The document outlined the North Continent’s response… It was quite simple and surprising.
The matter of the [temple] manipulating Li Bing to frame Gu Shen has already been wrapped up.
Central City immediately took over the case, and Her Majesty granted Zhu Xue temporary highest authority, erasing all records of Gu Shen’s arrival at Xiang Chen Manor… Li Bing will report to the [temple] the task’s failure.
The invitation set during the underground banquet was canceled due to the “invitation” issued by the Empress.
This was an impeccable report.
No one could foresee such uncontrollable factors.
Next, Central City will first dispatch Li Bing to Moon City Fortress, assist the Fourth Legion in removing the Black Hole. Of course, in this seeking battle, Dongning City’s troops are hardly useful. Li Bing will be one of the many Commanders, leading a large Source Energy Boat to reduce the Moon City Disaster Realm.
In this mission, Li Bing will logically accumulate enough “merit.”
Upon triumphant return, Xiang Chen will propose the “promotion” for this disciple.
After layers of approval… the upper echelons of Central City will permit this promotion and grant this “Hidden Child” the position of deputy officer at Luoyin City!
For the [temple], this is great news!
But in reality… this is just the beginning of a trap!
“Luoyin City is the stationed location of my ‘Wild Dogs.'”
Zhu Xue said calmly: “With Wild Dogs’ solitary style, this deputy position is nominal, making it ideal to plant a pawn… Once Li Bing is promoted, Light City will certainly give heavy responsibilities. Using this layer of connection, we can gradually find Light City’s ‘Hidden Children.'”
“This plan… has no issues.”
After reading it, Purple Rain put down the document.
She looked at Lin Chou, a look of comfort appeared in her eyes.
Initially, when taking over the document, she instinctively wanted to find some issues.
But after reading it, Purple Rain only felt that the document was written very comprehensively, and at this moment she realized that Lin Chou was no longer the naive child of the past… Unknowingly, he has grown into a Northern Continent Duke who can stand alone.
A dull footstep sounded from the second floor of the loft.
“You’re finally out?”
Zhu Xue smiled at Gu Shen and said, “Your conversation with Her Majesty, many people in the North Continent have been thinking.”
Everyone wanted to know.
What exactly did Gu Shen and the Empress discuss on the second floor of the loft?
Now, with the Northern Continent in turmoil, anyone who isn’t blind can see that the former alliance between the Lin Family and Light City has reached the end, and as Bai Shu achieves the War Throne, the East Continent is gradually rising. Her Majesty’s summoning Gu Shen may very well be to secure new allies for the North Continent!
Even Purple Rain stood up nervously.
The conversation between Her Majesty and this young man may very well change the direction of the entire world.
Gu Shen said softly, “Her Majesty has made an unprecedented major decision.”
Both Zhu Xue and Purple Rain were taken aback, looking at each other.
They are both favorite persons by Her Majesty’s side, also the closest and most understanding “family.”
These words instead left them somewhat confused.
Gu Shen’s expression was complex as he smiled: “Gentlemen, I’m afraid you’ll have to personally visit… the Underground Research Institute.” Check latest chapters at NoveI(F)ire.net
Standing on the Steel Cliff, looking down, you could see the fiery waves surging from the Forge reactor…
Hot wind blew against their faces.
Zhu Xue and Purple Rain stood on this protruding cliff, still somewhat disoriented.
The two were still processing it.
“Release the ‘traveller’…”
The impact of this decision is truly powerful.
If the Empress had not personally transmitted the “spirit” and issued the order, they would have never believed it.
The restart mission consumed so much manpower and resources, and it was a fight to drag the traveler into this furnace. Just say release and it’s released?
That’s a Divine Throne!
At this moment, the traveler is still in a state of slumber… that big creature is hugging its own body, burying its head in its arms, shrinking like a baby, so much so that the waves of flames from the reactor completely submerge it.
It’s like a reef deeply rooted in magma.
“You two… please forgive me for not understanding, why would Her Majesty make such a decision?”
The director of the Underground Research Institute also stood on the Steel Cliff, feeling dazed. This news was nothing short of a catastrophic blow to the entire institute…
This big creature is the “research specimen” that every technician dreams of!
Every piece of skin, every cell, is an incredibly important research project… Most importantly, the “fire-mark brand” on its forehead, which is a god-level energy capable of supporting the ascension of the entire Central City, if used properly, it can free most of the North Continent from ice and eternal frost!
Those researchers in white lab coats were standing in the research room at the back.
The director gritted his teeth and said, “Lord Zhuxue, our research progress has been swift. Right now is the critical moment for developing the ‘fire seed’… releasing it just might not be appropriate.”
Zhu Xue gave a wry smile.
He gently comforted, “But this is Her Majesty’s intention, we must believe she surely has a longer-term plan in mind…”
The director bore the pressure and spoke, “Even if Her Majesty doesn’t care about the future energy of Central City, she should know just how powerful this big guy is… just letting it go, where would it be released?”
The traveler is a disaster!
Its power can easily destroy a city! If it is released from the Central City, even its mere “running” could cause tremendous losses to the North Continent!
“We will deploy it to the uninhabited wasteland between the North Continent and the East Continent.”
Lin Lin sighed, “Her Majesty’s ‘Divine Domain’ can ensure safety… Director, I know you are very reluctant, but please give the order to stop the reactor’s ‘energy extraction,’ and halt the physical stimuli on the ‘traveler.'”
The director of the institute finally fell silent.
The elderly man’s expression was full of concern, but he still eventually waved toward the control room behind him.
Her Majesty the Empress had placed the highest trust in the Underground Research Institute… She bestowed independent operational authority to this underground research organization, and [Deep Sea] started operating after receiving the director’s authorization.
The heat waves on the Steel Cliff gradually calmed.
Standing above, the greatest feeling was… the wind had stopped.
It turns out this lake of volcanic magma sunk beneath the ground was entirely artificially created, and once the reactor stops operating, the Great Cold from the surface world pours in like a waterfall.
Gu Shen lifted his head.
He heard the faint rumbling above the ground… that was the enormous source energy boat transporting the “traveler,” which was already in position.
The reactor’s stimulation ceased.
The big creature, which had fallen into “slumber,” soon responded.
As the temperature of the magma was no longer scorching, the surface layer of its skin rapidly shed off.
The “traveler” slowly opened its eyes, it raised its head, but unfortunately… before it had a chance to see the situation outside the magma, countless sharp small swords pierced into its body.
The scene that had played out in the Duolu River Disaster Realm reenacted this time.
The Empress, sitting on the second floor of the pavilion, extended her Divine Domain over the reactor, countless ice swords darted down, piercing through its impenetrable thick skin like nails of iron.
Under such painful stimuli.
The traveler let out an angry growl, but unfortunately… the tempering of the Divine Domain, the repeated hammering, had worn it down to exhaustion, its anger insignificant before the supreme power of humans.
This gigantic monster was skewered into a hedgehog by tens of millions of small swords.
The small swords hovered, countless slender silver threads whistled in the air.
And thus, the traveler was dragged away from the magma by thousands of threads of cold, and hundreds of eyes from the underground research institute silently and reverently watched this divine-level creature, the more they studied it over time, the more they feared and dreaded the “traveler.”
This perfect being evolved in the [Old World], capable of enduring any harsh environment!
Even thrown into the reactor, it could sleep peacefully and at ease!
Her Majesty wants to release such a monster.
Every staff member silently clenched their fists, to them, this is the release of a disaster…
Zhu Xue and Purple Rain were also tense to the extreme.
The two of them found that Gu Shen, at this moment, was calm and unperturbed.
Because only Gu Shen knew… this big guy, who embraced all of the “traveler’s” fire seed, was nothing of a Divine Throne at all.
This was merely a complete Angel Envoy, with the mighty power of the Empress, even if it was released, it could be subdued at any time.
But actually, Gu Shen was also filled with curiosity.
If, say, this big guy was a gift from the traveler to the Five Continents.
Then after it gains freedom, where will it run to?
