Chapter 1028: Chapter 3: What Even Gods Cannot Do (Part 2)
For example, Gu Shen went to the border, Gu Shen returned to Central City, something like that.
Bai Shu did not intend to pry into Gu Shen’s life.
Bestowing this Golden Hoop was not only for Gu Shen to attempt another breakthrough but also to embolden him for his journey to the North Continent.
If Gu Shen truly needed to seek help through this Golden Hoop, I would hear it.
This boy, he’s quite tough!
Not only did he not make a sound, but he also succeeded in breaking through and returned!
“Someone wanted to kill me, then I killed him.”
Gu Shen coughed slightly and pretended to say lightly, “To kill him, I had to break through. So… I broke through.”
He started anticipating this scene on his way back.
What could be more satisfying than showing off in front of the Divine Throne?
Bai Shu looked at this younger man and couldn’t help but fall silent.
He recalled his own youth.
Seconds later, Bai Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled as he asked, “Haha, turns out that in your view, even the Blessed Son from Light City isn’t worth having a name, huh?”
Gu Shen revealed his true self, honestly began flattering, saying, “Senior Bai Shu, actually all those things are fleeting clouds, mere luck. The main reason I could break through this time was mainly because of the Golden Hoop you gifted me, allowing me to solidify my foundation.”
Praise never fails to penetrate.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shu shook his head helplessly, “Smooth talker.”
However… Gu Shen’s words were not merely flattery; there was nine-tenths sincerity in his speech.
The matter of breakthrough has complex factors.
If not for Meng Xiao, I wouldn’t have been able to break through.
But if there had been no Golden Hoop? That would have been impossible.
The word “opportunity” is deftly found here; blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand, breaking and standing, link by link.
Even without encountering Meng Xiao, wearing the “Battle Golden Hoop” and cultivating diligently for months could still significantly raise Gu Shen’s spiritual power from Tier Three to a higher level.
Bai Shu’s casual blessing was a tremendous opportunity and creation for the Third Tier!
“Senior… there is something I’d like to discuss with you.”
After completing the ceremony, Gu Shen earnestly said, “In a few months, perhaps… perhaps a guest from the North Continent will visit, and I want to bring her into the burial ground to meet you.”
Bai Shu said indifferently, “That young girl is surnamed Mu, right?”
Gu Shen was slightly embarrassed.
“You truly are perceptive.” Before he had a chance to say more, Bai Shu interrupted.
“For you, it is indeed time to cultivate a few reliable ‘Angel Envoys’.”
Bai Shu smiled and said, “If that little girl wants to attempt the ‘Third Breakthrough,’ bring her to see me… But remember to tell her to taste lightly and not stay excessively; a maximum of half a year, even if she can’t break through, wearing the ‘Golden Hoop’ can greatly enhance her spiritual power once.”
Gu Shen was overjoyed.
“Xiao Gu, remember, not everyone… has your ‘luck’.”
With deep meaning, Bai Shu said, “Among the Seven Gods of the Five Continents, even Gu Changzhi… before being chosen by the ‘Battle Fire,’ was already Titled. Do you understand my meaning?”
Gu Shen was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, he understood the reason why his “Third Super Realm” was so smooth…
In the history of the Five Continents, the fire seed is an exceedingly rare supreme divine item, disregarding all other factors, merely enduring the violent force of the fire seed is an extremely difficult task.
Among millions, perhaps not one could withstand the divine item’s might.
The Five Continents Council elevated the qualification to inherit the fire seed to the “Titled” level, not only for better selection—
This is also a form of protection.
If one cannot even become Titled, by what right can they become a Divine Throne?
Thus, throughout history, every Divine Throne has emerged from the bloody road of thousands competing; they became Titled, they defeated the Titled, they touched the fire seed, and they wrought the fire seed.
Ultimately, they became supreme ideals.
But in the long history, there are always “exceptions.”
Even Bai Shu could not explain this exception; perhaps this is why Gu Changzhi’s lost soul waited in Qingzhong for twenty years… Gu Shen is the first in history to be chosen so early as the heir by the “fire seed.”
He enjoyed the power brought by the “fire seed” at an extremely early stage.
Of course… he also bore the calamity feedback from the “Netherworld Fire.”
After great misfortune, there often follows great fortune.
“Whether it be ‘Super Third Realm,’ or your future Fourth Tier, creating even more incredible ‘records,’ do not let arrogance spawn in your heart.” Bai Shu spoke gravely and enunciated each word: “You accepted ‘calamity’ earlier than others and are also destined to accept more ‘calamity’… Ultimately, the Netherworld King’s Spark is a fire born from the Divine Miracle amidst calamities. If you cannot reach the pinnacle of strength, then the conclusion of your future will inevitably fall amidst extreme calamities.”
Gu Shen’s Heart Lake suddenly stilled.
This timely utterance caused Gu Shen to instantly awaken.
After the “Third Super Realm,” Gu Shen did not become arrogant or feel invincible, nor did he feel unparalleled in talent.
After achieving this feat, he felt somewhat ephemeral.
Looking around, there were no longer rivals beside him.
But actually… his opponent wasn’t near him at all. Updates are released by n0velfire.net
The one who holds the fire seed must fight against the [Old World], against the infinite collapse of order, and the brewing destruction of the Source Material Storm.
He stood silently for a long time, then bowed to Bai Shu.
