Chapter 1863: Chapter 456: I Am Myself
"I am the Divine Infant..."
"The Divine Infant... is me."
Gu Shen felt a moment of confusion.
He should have guessed it earlier. After seeing Gu Xiaoman and the Divine Infant, he sensed an inexplicable "sense of familiarity."
So that’s it.
"So now... you are truly being yourself again."
Turing spoke softly: "This physical shell originally belongs to you."
That’s why, during the struggle with [Deep Sea] for the shell, Turing said such words.
This is not a struggle.
This is merely taking back what belongs to oneself.
"But what purpose does ’living’ serve if spirit and body are out of sync?"
Gu Shen was puzzled.
Gu Changzhi and Turing worked together to separate his spiritual consciousness from his body, allowing it to "grow" successfully. Now, his spirit is at the youthful age of twenty-something.
Yet this body remains in the tender infancy stage.
Forget participating in the Divine War.
Even to be placed on the ground and attempt walking requires a period of learning and adaptation.
Now the fires of war have ignited across the Five Continents.
If possible, Gu Shen wishes to join the fray right now.
"When alive, anything is possible."
Turing looked straight into Gu Shen’s eyes and said, "Now the Five Continents desperately need a new Divine Throne... you and Meng Xizhou are the closest candidates. I know you’re anxious, but the more urgent the situation, the calmer you need to be. This war will last for quite some time, it won’t end quickly. Even if a new Divine Throne doesn’t emerge, I have a way to prolong the conflict."
"Prolong..."
Gu Shen frowned slightly.
"Yes, prolong."
Turing took a light breath and said, "Over there at Qinglong, Bai Shu and Lin Lei have already acted, they will do their utmost to hold off the sky... and on [Deep Sea]’s side, Lion Awakening technology will enable the birth of a sufficient number of Transcendents in the Three Continents, thereby countering the Transcendent Army cultivated by the Source Tower. As for the computational power level gap, this array box can handle it."
Gu Shen looked into Turing’s eyes, in the Spiritual Sea Domain, the other’s eyes seemed to contain an entire ocean.
He suddenly understood the deeper purpose of prolonging the conflict.
On the surface, it is to wait for a new Divine Throne to emerge from their camp, join the battlefield of the Source Tower, and win this Divine War.
But is the true "problem" humanity faces this Divine War?
Did Mr. Gu Changzhi sacrifice the fire of life just to defeat Qinglong?
No.
It can’t be just that.
What the "human" race faces is never the loss of control over the Divine Throne after holding divine power... but the "collapse of order" outside the Five Continents Giant Wall.
That’s the real issue confining Gu Changzhi and Turing.
"So, do I... need to leave the Five Continents?"
Gu Shen spoke softly.
After listening to the story of the Divine Infant told by Turing, he immediately understood the "cause and effect" that involves "himself."
The existence of the Divine Infant signifies "salvation."
Facing the collapse of order, only his "Chi Huo" can achieve true "salvation," as other Divine Thrones may absorb source energy after mastering the fire seed.
Little Xiuzi’s [Thunder Realm Walker] can also draw source energy to a certain extent.
However...
In terms of the characteristic of "restoring order," they are far inferior to Chi Huo, and by a wide margin.
"Xiao Gu..."
Turing’s eyes flashed with a hint of approval, he said softly, "You’re smarter than I imagined. The way to save the Five Continents doesn’t lie within but in the [Old World]."
"But [Old World] is very large."
Gu Shen looked at Turing.
"[Old World] is indeed very large, but haven’t you raised a little guy who’s already drawn out a clear map of the edge of the Northern Fortress?"
Turing smiled.
"..."
Gu Shen was momentarily speechless in astonishment.
He didn’t know what to say, how does this old guy know everything? How does Turing know about the existence of the golden spike flowers?
Wait, considering Turing’s schemes in setting traps, is his so-called "Netherworld King" identity also arranged by Turing?
Seeing Gu Shen’s expression, Turing laughed and said, "Don’t worry, your fusion of the ’Netherworld King’s Spark’ is unrelated to me, it’s not my arrangement. Although I’ve made quite a few arrangements, I’m not able to calculate every detail, even Deep Sea during its eleventh upgrade couldn’t predict everything, I certainly can’t."
Gu Shen felt slightly relieved, but then quickly sensed something amiss: "You said just now, the Netherworld Fire is unrelated to you... then it is related to someone else?"
"Of course."
Turing raised an eyebrow, "This is a fire seed, it’s not a casual matter to select a master... Look at those fire seeds within the Five Continents, is there any fire seed that’s chosen its master lightly?"
Gu Shen was left speechless.
Indeed.
The Battle Fire chose Bai Shu, the Light Fire chose Meng Xizhou... these didn’t happen without certain twists and turns.
As for the Lord of Wine...
The original birth of the Lord of Wine seemed like just a coincidence.
But now, it appears evidently manipulated by Turing’s influence, several years ago, he handed the Divine Infant to Xiaoman, allowing her life to intertwine with fate, thereby propelling the subsequent changes in the Sangzhou Cave.
"By the way, you should be able to guess, the Lord of Wine was my arrangement."
Turing smiled and said, "I like Xiaoman very much, even if I hadn’t intervened, she would still become an extraordinary figure... I spent quite a bit of lifespan to establish such a profound connection between the Divine Infant and her."
