Chapter 1859: Chapter 453: The One Who Draws the Sword
The ripples of the golden illusion spread.
Bai Xiu stepped into the range of the Lord of Love’s throne, and within that illusion, fierce winds surged, seemingly enveloping him in layers of thin gauze.
In just an instant, the bones of the Lord of Love on the throne seemed to come alive.
The pressure of the Spirit Sea suddenly increased!
Bai Xiu let out a muffled grunt.
He halted and stared intently at the "Lord of Love," who had been dead for years. The throne was surrounded by fierce wind, and a sharp sword hung high above the Lord of Love’s head; the fire was extinguished, but the will of its owner remained.
"Intruder, halt."
Four airy words, carrying irresistible divine might.
Bai Xiu stood before the throne, and at the moment he saw the Lord of Love... the "delusion" in his heart shattered completely.
This fire seed did not match his [Thunder Realm Walker].
And that Fire Extinguishing Sword made him feel an urgent need to flee... This was not the place he should be.
But he did not leave immediately.
Bai Xiu stood some distance away from the throne.
He took a deep breath, looked up under immense pressure, and gazed arduously at the woman on the throne.
"Senior... I want to try and see if I can pull out this sword."
Knowing it’s impossible yet still wanting to try.
It’s actually a very "foolish" move.
But for Bai Xiu, he really had no better option. There were no more fire seeds in the Five Continents, so even if the power of the Lord of Love’s fire seed wasn’t suitable for him, he wanted to try.
This high-hanging sword pierced through the Lord of Love’s bones, extinguishing the last glimmer of the Torch of Love.
If the sword is pulled out...
Perhaps the brilliance of the fire seed could be revived?
The woman sitting on the throne smiled.
Golden gauze surged.
She scrutinized the young man before her from a distance of tens of meters and asked softly, "You also want to pull the sword..."
What does this sentence mean?
Bai Xiu was momentarily stunned.
The Lord of Love softly said, "Where is your ’Extinguishing Candle’?"
At that moment, Bai Xiu was completely stunned.
At the moment of parting.
Gu Shen told him the stories of Qinglong.
This peerless genius, seemingly holding the position of "first person on the Divine Throne," had actually lost a battle many years ago, and it was a crushing defeat.
Back then, Qinglong was severely injured by an arrow from the [Thunder Realm Walker].
That battle was always a shadow in Qinglong’s heart, so after he melted the sky’s fire seed, Central Continent Upper City absolutely did not allow any thunderstorm weather.
The bow that injured Qinglong back then—
It’s name was Extinguishing Candle!
"Extinguishing Candle..."
Bai Xiu murmured softly, looking blankly at the woman on the throne.
The Lord of Love said gently, "So, you came to the wrong place. What you should be doing is not ’pulling the sword,’ but seeking the bow. The true help for you doesn’t come from the Torch of Love."
...
...
Bai Xiu dazedly exited the golden illusion.
"How did it go?"
Alf eagerly drifted over, inquiring about the result.
"I... came to the wrong place."
Bai Xiu muttered softly, uttering these words while Alf looked puzzled.
He shook his head.
Bai Xiu’s gaze became clear and firm.
He looked at Alf and said, "I saw the spirit left by the ’Lord of Love.’ Even after all these years... it seems she hasn’t completely dissipated."
This statement sounded crazy. No one can live nearly a thousand years.
But whether it was Gu Shen or Bai Xiu, upon entering the illusion and seeing the "Lord of Love," a different conversation was triggered based on their circumstances.
Alf’s eyes flashed with excited red light, "What did she say to you?"
"She said I came to the wrong place and shouldn’t have come to pull the sword but rather should have sought the bow..."
Bai Xiu gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"Bow?"
Alf became interested, which was rare, "What bow?"
"It’s called the Candle Extinguishing Bow," Bai Xiu said softly, "long lost in some unknown corner of the world..."
Upon hearing the words Candle Extinguishing.
The glow reflected on Alf’s screen paused momentarily.
"What is it?" Bai Xiu noticed Alf’s anomaly, "You seem to... recognize ’Extinguishing Candle’?"
"Of course!"
Alf suddenly raised his volume, and then the small cube summoned a holographic projection in the bronze hall, which displayed an ancient longbow. Although aged, the holographic projection of the bow still left people amazed. It far exceeded the transcendent crafting level of the Five Continents Civilization, with tension permeating every detail of the great bow.
Just a glance reveals... this is an extraordinary bow.
"This is a divine artifact crafted by my master, one of his most proud creations!"
Alf suddenly realized something very important.
Back then, the master left his homeland, departing from the Ice Sea with other leaders in pursuit of the oasis... leaving the Origin ship on standby, while carrying away the rest of the belongings.
According to Gu Shen’s speculation, the entire world might be spherical.
After wandering for many years, the humans who once fled returned to the starting point... And the earliest departing Lord of Melting Iron and other leaders possibly halted somewhere during their long migration.
During those years of waiting in the Ice Sea.
Alf had entertained thoughts of seeking, but in such a huge world, how could it find them? What if its master returned while Alf was away, missing the opportunity for a reunion?
So it preferred waiting in the Ice Sea, even if relocating, not too far relocated.
The [Old World] is too vast.
Five Continents is just this one piece.
Once the master returns, even if it’s not at the Ice Sea, it can be easily found.
But once entering the [Old World]... they might thoroughly miss each other.
