Chapter 1823: Chapter 437: Striking the God
The domain of the [Creator] envelops the Pure Land!
Susu Xuanshu opened a large umbrella to welcome the will of Gu Shen...
The merging of the third domain was not as difficult as imagined, because this world originally belonged to Gu Shen.
The voice of the divine decree echoed on the earth, and Tie Wu and others felt their blood boil.
They looked towards the divine apparition condensed by Chi Huo.
Gu Shen stood up, thousands of Susu Xuanshu’s long leaves stacked layer upon layer, presented before him, forming a long step that he ascended upon, the Flowing Fire Leaves shook their blades, sparking bursts of light and fire.
The breathing method began its final reversal—
Spring, Winter, Autumn.
Finally, it was summer.
Summer is the season among the four with the most flourishing vitality!
Gu Shen stepped on the Flowing Fire Long Leaves of Susu Xuanshu, feeling some sort of summoning power from the outside.
Susu Xuanshu raised its leaves, lifting him up.
Beyond the Skytop.
Countless silver glows flowed.
...
...
"Is the spiritual link of the Divine Infant... starting?"
The silver glow of the [Measure of Truth] burst forth, like countless willow branches, targeting the sleeping Divine Infant.
Chu Ling, Lin Lin, Gu Nanfeng, Tomb Ghost, all held their breath.
Everyone awaited the follow-up.
Chu Ling was tense to the extreme.
For several seconds, the treatment room was silent.
Then, the Divine Infant, held in Chu Ling’s arms, awoke from slumber and opened those beautiful eyes.
The Divine Infant had no emotion.
Hence its eyes were always vacant... now showing expression, signifying that the soulless shell had gained a new spirit.
Tomb Ghost let out a long breath.
Lin Lin and Gu Nanfeng relaxed as well.
But Chu Ling remained tense.
She coldly fixed her gaze on the infant in her arms.
The Divine Infant also watched her expressionlessly.
This scene had happened not long ago... reenacted again, no one knew better than Chu Ling what the gaze of the Divine Infant meant at this moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
The lights in the Source Energy Boat’s treatment room suddenly burst, and the entire main boat fell into a state of chaos. With the spirit network link cut, the internal defense system was forcibly taken over... there was only one possibility for this scenario, which was that someone among the present carried the spiritual mark belonging to [Deep Sea], allowing [Deep Sea] to link with the main boat.
Lin Lin and Gu Nanfeng had been present without leaving.
The culprit could only be... Tomb Ghost.
"What happened?"
Tomb Ghost’s face was pale, appearing very panicked.
Chu Ling immediately ruled out the possibility of Tomb Ghost being an "insider", if he truly was, they wouldn’t have entrusted the "Black Snow Mountain Dream" matter to him on the way here... obviously, [Deep Sea] left a spiritual mark on Tomb Ghost after completing the traveller’s transaction.
The master system after the eleventh upgrade was too powerful.
On the journey here, Chu Ling had scanned Tomb Ghost several times without detecting anything unusual... this meant that the current master system’s computing power was far ahead of [Source Code].
She gave a signal.
Lin Lin swiftly stepped forward, delivering a chop that knocked the bewildered Tomb Ghost to the ground.
"Is this guy a [Deep Sea] spy?"
Lin Lin frowned and communicated silently.
Chu Ling shook her head: "No... he’s not a spy."
Upon receiving this answer, Lin Lin ceased further action. He drew out a hand cannon, pointing at the awakened Divine Infant, and coldly said: "What’s the situation with this thing?"
Now, he also saw it clearly.
This Divine Infant indeed revived, but the soul within the shell certainly wasn’t Gu Shen!
If Gu Shen was not the one revived, Lin Lin would rather erase it directly!
"Interesting..."
As the lights flickered, the Divine Infant already uttered words.
[Deep Sea] took over the main boat via the "spiritual imprint" carried by Tomb Ghost, after the eleventh upgrade, he was omnipresent, the entire Five Continents were under his watch... the so-called severing of links, switching to closed networks was actually a clumsy defense, like a household with the main network installed, even switching to a backup network couldn’t entirely stem the probe of the main network source.
He could always see, just clearly or vaguely.
In closed network states, information wouldn’t be immediately transmitted, seemingly safer but actually not.
To [Deep Sea], this merely meant an addition of a "blind zone" needing active probing.
Given the immense volume of information processing, [Deep Sea] typically wouldn’t actively probe this "blind zone", but now it was different.
He had locked onto this area.
Lin Lin, Gu Nanfeng, Chu Ling, at this moment, these three gathered at Gu Castle...
Many things, [Deep Sea] immediately comprehended.
"Meng Xizhou is deceiving me."
[Deep Sea] lightly laughed: "She really managed to swindle the ’Light Fire’."
Understanding all this, the Divine Infant looked up.
[Deep Sea] calmly stated: "Lin Lin, you might as well fire... I don’t care about the death of this shell, but if you kill me, Gu Shen will die too."
Lin Lin’s expression darkened, fingers on the hand cannon’s trigger.
[Deep Sea]’s words hit the crux.
He found it hard to press down decisively.
Killing the Divine Infant wouldn’t kill Deep Sea, but it would mean destroying Gu Shen’s last "hope for resurrection."
"Gu Nanfeng, you’re the same, why haven’t you drawn your knife?"
The Divine Infant slowly turned its head a hundred and eighty degrees to look at the wounded man behind, who held the wooden knife but hadn’t slashed.
"Tsk..."
"Interesting, truly interesting."
The Divine Infant showed a momentary smile: "So, beneath the Five Continents, there are so many interesting things. This corpse was transported from Sangzhou Cave, secretly hidden under Huazhi for so many years just for today? You’ve set this up for years, all for Gu Shen? You’re really willing."
He stretched out his palm, mocking: "It seems impressive at first glance, but in reality, it’s nothing special. Even if the spirit takes over this simple shell, what difference would it make?"
The next moment.
Deep Sea aimed a punch at Lin Lin.
The Divine Infant’s body perfectly merged with many elements.
But... this flesh was too weak.
If Deep Sea threw this punch with the body of White Lizard, it could shatter a vast void; if with the body of Light God’s Seat, it could pulverize an entire floating island. Yet now, in the closed therapy room, the punch merely produced a gentle wind.
"Whosh..."
The wind disappeared in an instant.
The scene looked quite ridiculous.
Deep Sea shook its head in disappointment: "Would this body really be strong, even if Gu Shen took over?"
"Of course..."
A calm voice that didn’t belong to the therapy room suddenly rang at this moment.
A figure with hands in pockets kicked open the therapy room’s main door; Deep Sea’s spiritual network had already taken control of the main vessel, but Deep Sea hadn’t sensed any alarms from intruders... The Divine Infant’s expression froze, the lights were dim, and in its data vision, the newcomer was a blur of code, invisible.
The man stood at the therapy room door, his voice full of jest.
"This body is prepared for Gu Shen; if he takes over, it will certainly be strong."
Chu Ling, Lin Lin, Gu Nanfeng also cast their eyes at the door.
They, unlike the Deep Sea Main System... saw an actual human.
"Cui..."
Gu Nanfeng was suddenly stunned; as he spoke the first syllable of this surname, he realized the taboo and quickly stopped.
At this point, truly saying it out loud didn’t matter.
Turing extended a hand, signaling Gu Nanfeng to relax, not to be so tense.
"Everyone, been waiting for a long time."
He gently explained: "After all, I work, usually busy, and coupled with the cemetery affairs really delaying time... so I came a bit late, sorry."
Lin Lin looked puzzled at the man before him.
He exchanged a glance with Gu Nanfeng, and in the end, both looked towards Chu Ling.
Chu Ling stared at the figure in front of the door, her voice uncontrollably trembling.
"Mr. Turing..."
The name Turing seemed to have magic power.
Lin Lin was frozen, his breath became rapid, he looked at the great leader who single-handedly founded the Ancient Literature Society, never expecting to meet Turing this way.
Gu Nanfeng’s expression was similar.
But on the other side, the Divine Infant’s expression suddenly turned pale!
From the moment its data vision went dark, Deep Sea vaguely guessed who this intruder was.
Some answers had long been apparent.
But he was reluctant to believe.
Thirty years ago, he confirmed he had driven away and killed Turing...
With years of continuous iteration and upgrading, his greatest shadow in mind was this "father" who created him.
Deep Sea always suspected Turing was still alive.
He monitored these five lands day and night, and finally concluded that if Turing was alive, he could only be in the "Old World."
And now, Turing’s appearance was no less than a loud slap.
Turing had never died, nor left.
From start to finish, Turing had been within Deep Sea’s view.
"Turing... you’re alive? You’re still alive!"
The Divine Infant’s scream managed to echo halfway before being interrupted by Turing.
"Such words, I’ve never been dead."
Turing pulled his hands from his pockets, frowned, grabbed the Divine Infant’s neck, lifting him up, great strength choking the Divine Infant’s throat, regardless of how strong Deep Sea’s spirit was, the vessel carrying this spirit was just a baby.
The throat was choked.
Deep Sea found it difficult to make a sound, could only emit hoarse noises.
"Actually, you don’t need to be afraid, firing just now would have been okay."
Turing turned his head to Lin Lin, seriously saying: "This thing is thick-skinned, tough, even if hit by a Black Silver Bomb, it might not necessarily die... Against such arrogant villains, you have to use fiercer means than he, let him know fear."
With that said.
Turing reached out a hand, swung it round, and slapped hard!
Smack!
The sting of this slap transmitted to the Sky Divine Domain of Source Tower, the Deep Sea’s physical form staggered!
Looking through the Divine Infant’s data vision.
Turing’s hand wore a Finger Tiger type of seal item.
"Although I’m a mild-mannered scholar with no strength to bind a chicken, with a seal item... hitting a baby who can’t walk is no problem."
Turing looked expressionlessly at the baby before him.
He showed the hand wearing the Finger Tiger, smiled faintly: "Painted Stone Finger Tiger, specifically targets the spirit, according to the seal item rating system I left behind, it’s rated as an S-level seal item. If you fancy competing with Gu Shen for control of the body’s spirit, you best not run, watch me punch your brains out."
