Chapter 367: Chapter 56: Battle Again (8K Words Mega Chapter)_3

Gu Shen remained silent for a moment before honestly saying, "The good news is that you can stay here for a long time... the bad news is, the reason you’re staying is that, at the moment, I haven’t thought of a way to get you out."

Tie Wu was somewhat surprised, unsure whether to feel happy or sad.

"One last question—"

"I don’t understand, sir, why did you save me? What is it that you want?" Tie Wu took a deep breath, looked at Gu Shen, and spoke seriously, word by word, "What, exactly, do you want?"

"I don’t like the Source Tower."

This question was the easiest to answer. Gu Shen spoke straightforwardly, "As for what I want... it’s simple, I want you to renounce the Source Tower and become my follower."

Renounce the Source Tower and become my follower!

These words were powerful and resounding.

"After today, you might as well pick up your confidence." Gu Shen calmly said, "This new world will become a true Pure Land."

True... Pure Land...

Tie Wu clenched the seed and nodded vigorously.

He believed it just as firmly.

But... there was a very serious problem right in front of them.

"Sir, but as of now, is this seed the only one in the new world?"

Tie Wu looked up, his expression forlorn.

Just then, a gust of wind swept by, and the Throne had already disappeared without a trace.

...

...

"Huff... if you keep asking, it’s going to be hard to answer."

Gu Shen let out a long sigh.

He hadn’t left the wilderness; rather, he had used his spiritual power to "conceal" the part of himself that was in the wilderness.

Here, he was the true master.

All the rules of this "new world" were defined by Gu Shen. The confidence supporting him to write the rules was the Extraordinary Essence stored in Chi Huo. If there needed to be wind, rain, or light, it could all be had, as long as he provided the corresponding "Essence."

He slowly passed his finger over it.

Using himself and Tie Wu as the boundary, the wilderness was divided in two.

On one side, Tie Wu was holding the seed, looking down, pondering where was a good place to cultivate, where the soil was fertile, suitable for planting the sole sprout of the new world.

On the other side, Gu Shen was silently recalling the flow of spirit when he contemplated the Grain Rain Volume.

This was a world born in accordance with his own will.

Everything here was held in his grasp...

In a sense, he lived up to Tie Wu’s belief in him here... because he was a god.

"Next... shall we try a rain shower?"

Gu Shen started to gesture slowly with his hand.

Above the wilderness, the clouds began to gather slowly, and spring thunder echoed continuously.

At this moment.

Gu Shen felt that the Extraordinary Essence in his brow was being consumed at a "visible to the naked eye" rate.

Luckily he had just feasted at the Divine Temple Mountain, so the Extraordinary Essence in his brow was still quite plentiful.

Each day that passed, a part of this Extraordinary Essence would be used for digestion... After digestion, Gu Shen’s own power would be enhanced, but this was a very long process. If Chi Huo went hungry, then the speed at which he grew stronger would slow down.

But no matter how stuffed Chi Huo ate, the speed of digestion was fixed; it wouldn’t be faster than a certain extent.

Cultivation was something that never had a shortcut.

Even if "Chi Huo" could store a vast amount of Extraordinary Essence, that didn’t mean he could become a big fat man all at once.

It wasn’t that after Gu Shen had feasted a few times at the Divine Temple Mountain, he could leave everyone behind, directly crushing his Transcendent peers.

This was the "trait" he discovered after his encounter with Han Dang... Chi Huo’s trait was incredibly robust and made perfect sense, like a living "creature" with a subconscious survival instinct.

The "Essence" that was swallowed was partially digested, and the vast majority was used as reserves.

Should there be an attack on the level of spirit, like the previous "True Words," "Thorny Dreams,"... Whatever power could be countered by burning Extraordinary Essence, Chi Huo could manage by consuming the reserves to cope.

This was a trait of "protector" that was nearly to the extreme of toughness, or rather... it was a "self-preservation" trait!

Tie Wu, holding the seed, heard the sound of a thunderclap.

He was stunned.

As he was searching for the suitable place to cultivate, clouds suddenly appeared overhead out of nowhere... clearly, it was the "god’s" guidance.

Then, immediately after.

"Boom!" A sound thundered.

A stark white Thunder Light exploded above the wilderness; this wilderness couldn’t be more desolate already... Tie Wu watched as the thunder, mixed with mud, passed through his body, the Thunder Light striking in the middle of the wilderness, carving a huge crater.

This crater was like the hand of a god.

And what Tie Wu had to do was to plant hope for this new world.

The heavy rain came in an instant.

He crouched down, in the midst of the pouring rain, slowly floating into the crater... His hands gently placed the seed down.

...

...

Zero Zero One.

The train was moving smoothly.

The girl was no longer sitting and reading; she was curled up on the seat, seemingly asleep...

A large amount of data roamed throughout the carriage.

Millions of files were opened.

Millions of files were closed.

And in the carriage, there was also a quiet boy waiting. Gu Shen empathized with what Tie Wu felt in the Four Seasons Wilderness; he was like a lonely ghost, with countless files passing through his body.

This sensation... seemed quite pleasant?

On the other side of the Four Seasons Wilderness, the "seeding" was already complete.
