Chapter 634: Chapter 160: The Third Flame Seed_3

"Perhaps... the Flame Power was never lost."

Gu Qilin said softly.

Luo Yu murmured, "This is... too..."

He wanted to say a word to describe his feelings, but he found that neither ’fantasy’ nor ’magical’ quite fit.

"Gu Changzhi’s slumber wasn’t just because he was comprehending the ’Great Cold’."

Gu Qilin lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He muttered, "If there is a third Flame Power, his sleep... isn’t that simple..."

For a long time, Qingzhong Cemetery had been in absolute balance.

Gu Changzhi alone was suppressing the power of two Flame Powers.

However, because of the intrusion of the God of Wine.

The balance... was broken.

"The Disaster Realm of Great Cold is not a disaster!"

Gu Qilin suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, his expression becoming extremely serious, "The real disaster is the power of this third ownerless Flame Power spreading on its own... This Disaster Realm, is protecting the mausoleum!"

As Gu Changzhi and the God of Wine clashed.

The power of the third Flame Power was gradually reviving!

From the unfathomable depths afar, spiritual ripples transmitted repeatedly, growing stronger and stronger... Indeed, they are ripples without malice, but as the power of the Flame Power revives, and in response to Gu Changzhi’s twenty-year suppression, these ripples would only get bigger and bigger, eventually forming a tsunami!

Even without malice.

It is enough to drown everything in the mausoleum!

The Disaster Realm of Great Cold... seemingly Silent Annihilation, but it is protecting and stopping the spread of the third Flame Power.

Luo Yu’s face turned deathly pale.

"The reason I came here, is this thing... guiding me."

Gu Qilin took out a token, the Family Head Token of the Gu family, although the current Gu family had divided into new and old factions, the real holder of the Family Head Token was not Gu Lushen.

This token harbored the Transcendent lineage power of the Gu family, passed down for 600 years.

At the time of the plane crash, this power had given guidance.

Until reaching here, there was an inscrutable force drawing him.

"Perhaps... the heads of the Changye Five Families would all feel this resonance?" Luo Yu cautiously spoke.

Gu Qilin’s expression suddenly darkened.

He abruptly turned around, pulling Luo Yu behind him at the same time.

From the depths of the distant Snow Forest, the slight sound of wheel rotation could be heard.

Snow mist drifted, swirling.

A figure in a wheelchair slowly appeared in front of the two men.

Gu Lushen smiled and said, "Old man... you’re quick."

Gu Qilin remained silent.

He did not respond to Gu Lushen.

Silent disdain.

Was the greatest contempt.

Perhaps because of the dense frost, Gu Lushen’s hair had a touch of silvery white, giving him a somewhat weathered look.

The same age as Gu Changzhi, he always gave the impression of being very "decayed." Actually, it had been like this a long time ago, when both were young, Gu Changzhi was the sun that everyone in the Snow Forbidden City watched, while Gu Lushen was like a streak of white frost clinging to the bluestone on the ground, unremarkable and ignored.

Two young men.

One like the blazing sun, casting a broad light.

The other, like frost, snow, twilight mist... no matter the effort, only to be melted under the burning sun, doomed to be unseen by the world.

Gu Lushen had long been accustomed to being ignored, scorned.

So he still smiled, "You shouldn’t have entered the mausoleum so early."

Luo Yu noticed... several strands of hoarfrost clinging to Gu Lushen’s clothing surface, like veins, winding sinuously, ultimately converging over his heart.

Gu Lushen’s body was covered with a very thin layer of spiritual power.

But... that spiritual power was very strong!

It was... the power of the God of Wine!

"When did you willingly give up your bottom line?"

Gu Qilin stared at the garment of the younger man in the wheelchair, his voice very light as he said this.

This statement should have been angry, but all the anger had been worn away by the years of civil war inside.

So... only sympathy, regret, pity, and sorrow remained.

Undoubtedly.

No matter when... the sun is always the brightest.

A person like Gu Changzhi, in any era, would become the "protagonist" of that era.

To coexist with him, was destined to be a sad affair.

But... this world also needs other lights.

Many years ago, Gu Qilin had once brought out the record of this young man named "Gu Lushen," proudly boasting to an old friend, Zhou Wei, that the Gu family was naturally talented, producing geniuses, and this young man named Gu Lushen would inevitably make a great impact in the future, becoming the second luminance of the Gu family, and the pillar that supports Changye.

Many years have passed, that prophecy ironically came true.

But only half of it came true.

The Gu family faction, the old faction weakened, this smokeless war lasted eight years... Gu Lushen indeed made a huge impact, something no one else in Changye could achieve.

However, what truly chilled old Gu Qilin’s heart was... this young man he once firmly believed would become the second luminescence of the Gu family relied on the power of the Source Tower Divine Throne.

The Changye Five Families have countless decrees.

The greatest of these is not to exceed the East Continent for foreign assistance.

During the most intense internal conflict, Gu Qilin had thought... if the old faction fought to its last breath for its beliefs but still ended in failure, and Gu Changzhi never awoke, then it must be heaven’s will that Gu Lushen shall prevail.
