Chapter 1116 Tens of Millions of People, and One Person (End of This Volume)

【"Hello……"】

【"Wake up."】

I don’t know how long it had been silent, but a familiar voice sounded in my mind.

Accompanied by a vague tingling sensation.

Gu Shen recalled the memory from a few seconds ago. At the moment when the Lion Awakening Code was released, he firmly grasped the "Dead Sea Authority Stone" in his palm and poured all the blazing fire into it.

The spiritual waters of the entire Dead Sea area boiled in an instant.

Then he fell into deep darkness.

Close your eyes and fall asleep in the real world.

Does closing your eyes in the spiritual world count as falling asleep?

Gu Shen opened his eyes.

The world in front of me was completely dark without a ray of light.

But he knew that this was not the Dead Sea.

Nor is it an array box.

But...

his own spiritual world.

With a soft sound of "swish", a bright and gorgeous fire light ignited between his eyebrows, and this light illuminated the entire dark world.

This was the first time that Gu Shen could see his own heart in such detail and clearly.

It turns out it's so dark here.

Even if the fire shines brightly, there is still a large area of ​​haze that will not dissipate.

And most importantly...

In front of him, a dark figure was sitting cross-legged. The figure was sitting not far away, watching him motionlessly.

Did the voice in my head just come from the other side?

Gu Shen was startled.

The voice was very familiar, and he soon understood the reason for the familiarity. Many years ago, when he held the [Ruler of Truth] and killed the two extraordinary beings on the roof of the burning building, this voice appeared in his head. in mind. Later, whenever I use [Truth] to reach the overdraft stage, a similar voice will sound in my mind.

The explanation given in the ruling was that the phenomenon was a hallucination caused by mental instability.

At first Gu Shen believed this explanation.

Later, he was more willing to believe that this was the sound of temptation issued by the devil living in the truth.

He knew it at this moment.

It turned out to be neither.

【"it's me."】

The little man, as black as ink, raised his head and looked directly at Gu Shen. His voice came from all directions, like the tide, like the chirping of cicadas, and it was impossible to capture the specific location.

But Gu Shen knew.

He is the one who speaks.

Gu Shen frowned and asked slowly: "Who are you?"

Mo Ren's whole body was shrouded in darkness, but Gu Shen felt that he seemed to be grinning.

["Can't you see it?"]

Mo Ren responded softly: ["I... am you."]

The body in the spiritual world has no reference value, but this Mo man is indeed exactly like himself.

["There is light and darkness in this world."]

["This is true everywhere... the human heart is no exception."]

Mo Ren stretched out his palm and pressed it on his chest. In this extremely silent and dark world, his heartbeat could be heard clearly... Gu Shen subconsciously made the same move. He pressed his palm on his chest. On your own chest.

boom.

boom.

Two synchronized heartbeat sounds echoed slowly in the void of light and darkness.

"I probably understand what you are."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes slightly.

He remembered what Mr. Gu said to him in the snowy mountains. The more powerful the extraordinary person is in this world, the more ominous he will be entangled by disasters. Destiny will lock every mortal in the world. Even if he smelts fire and becomes a god, he cannot escape. The verdict of fate...

Not to mention that the fire he is smelting now is the fire of Pluto, which contains countless disasters.

Great bad luck.

The Mo man in front of him is the "negative emotions" that exist in his own spiritual world.

In other words, an unlucky version of myself.

Once one's own spirit cannot remain stable, negative emotions will invade the spiritual sea...

The former Pluto's "loss of control" was due to his inability to overcome negative emotions and was thus swallowed up by the ominous disaster.

What is the biggest enemy for God?

Is it the sefirah storm of the old world?

Is it an alien throne?

neither.

For Shenzuo, the biggest enemy is always himself. Even if he is as powerful as Gu Changzhi, he still has to face the "inner demon" deep in his heart.

The dark shadow in front of me is my inner demon.

"You came to kill me."

Gu Shen smiled and asked, "Is that right?"

The inner demon shook his head.

["Since I am you, then why should I kill you? Killing you...isn't it equivalent to killing myself?"]

Gu Shen looked at the black shadow quietly.

He did not feel the murderous intention from the opposite side...but he could feel the murderous intention rising in his heart.

He doesn't want to kill himself.

But I want to kill him!

["For the same reason, you can't kill me."]

The inner demon looked at Gu Shen with a smile.

He is Gu Shen, and Gu Shen is him.

Since the two of them are one body, the source of the sounds in this spiritual world cannot be identified...

Because this voice always comes from Gu Shen's heart.

This conversation was "talking to himself" from beginning to end.

"So, what do you want to say?"

Gu Shen looked at the dark shadow in front of him expressionlessly.

The inner demon maintained the posture of the old monk in trance. He looked at Gu Shen seriously. On the side where darkness and light met, the lumens gathered to form a huge mirror. The mirror reflected two identical figures, but one side was shrouded in blazing light. In the light, the other side is soaked in the dark depths.

The inner demon looked directly at Gu Shen and asked softly.

["For those people, you released the Lion Awakening Code... This is not like something Pluto would do. I want to ask you, is it worth it?"]

Gu Shen frowned.

He didn't understand what the inner demon meant.

["Those deceased members of the Ancient Literature Society are on the verge of being broken after bearing the disaster for you... Perhaps you don't care about their deaths."]

["But where is Chu Ling?"]

The inner demon smiled and asked: "Are the lives of those people outside more important than Chu Ling?"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

…

…

A voice outside the spiritual world suddenly sounded at this moment.

"Wake up!"

Along with this cry.

Gu Shen instantly opened his eyes, and his consciousness returned to the energy boat.

The vast void outside [Old World] is clearly visible outside the porthole window.

Gu Shen could see particles floating in the dark void, but as soon as his sight touched the darkness, he immediately remembered the previous "conversation".

Was the meeting with the inner demon just a dream, or did it really happen?

Gu Shen didn't know.

He only knew that he had returned to reality, and what he saw was a beautiful, but haggard and pale face.

Chu Ling stretched out her arms and hugged him gently.

And he...

After consciousness returns to the real world, it is that little baby.

Due to the iron law suppressed in the body of the Divine Infant, Gu Shen opened his mouth to speak, but uncontrollably burst out crying... He quickly stopped speaking and used his eyes to signal Chu Ling to enter the spiritual world to communicate with him.

Fortunately the array box is still there.

The consciousness of the two returned to the sea.

The place was completely empty, and the witnesses who had been invited had already completed their evacuation.

The [Red Door] stands in the sea. This towering door cannot be closed the moment it is opened. At this moment, the array box sea area and the Dead Sea area are connected.

And the deep sea is madly attacking it...

The red door is already showing signs of cracking.

This is the price that must be paid for this war, and the Red Gate will definitely be destroyed.

"Why was your consciousness... interrupted?"

As soon as he landed in the sea, Chu Ling spoke anxiously.

"Consciousness...interrupted?"

Gu Shen was at a loss.

Only then did he notice that after returning to the spiritual world, the stone symbolizing the "Dead Sea Authority" was still in his hand.

"The spiritual link has been established, and the mortals within the three continents will enter the dreamland one after another within five minutes."

Chu Ling spoke quickly: "I have taken over the mortal dreams of the entire three continents... Now, it is the final 'Lion's Awakening'!"

Countless ancient texts linger around Gu Shen's soul. The stone symbolizing the authority of the Dead Sea was wrapped in the Lion Awakening Code at this moment... However, due to Gu Shen's mental interruption, the blue light emitted by the Lion Awakening Code was only wrapped Eighty percent, the last part is left.

The Lion Awakening Code is different from other breathwork dreams.

Even if it is only incomplete, it can still make people "awaken"... This is why the previous bill of Mulberry Island can be promoted.

Just the complete release of Lion Awakening will greatly increase the awakening rate.

If this unprecedented Great Awakening were to take place across three continents, the corresponding number of extraordinary beings... would be very terrifying.

"What are you waiting for?"

Chu Ling urged: "Use your authority to engrave the last code."

Gu Shen should have completed the final code carving without hesitation.

Just this moment.

He recalled the meeting with the inner demon in the spiritual world and the question raised by the inner demon.

So he hesitated for a second.

A large number of memories flooded into his mind, and Gu Shen suddenly understood why there was that "meeting" just now. The inner demon was not trying to kill him, but just forced him to withdraw from the spiritual world and come to reality. On the one hand, It is to interrupt the spread of Lion Wake Code, and on the other hand it is to allow him to see clearly the environment in the real world.

Turing.

Although he only woke up for a short moment, Gu Shen still noticed one thing——

A very important thing!

Turing, who was previously in the energy boat, has disappeared!

The entire source energy boat was shrouded in a rich death aura... This death aura belonged to Turing!

During the battle at the Dead Sea, Turing's spirit was swept away by the Dead Sea and disappeared...

After the spirit is eliminated, the physical body of the real world is also shattered.

This is where the "death energy" comes from.

And with the red door shattered, the array box destroyed, Chu Ling's ending... there was only one word left.

die.

"...Hurry!"

Chu Ling urged again.

She had already noticed the change in Gu Shen's eyes.

Over the years, the two have been connected. If you want to know what the other person is thinking, all you need is a look.

She had already guessed why Gu Shen hesitated.

Time slows down at this moment.

How to choose between millions of people and one person?

"call……"

Gu Shen closed his eyes, and all his thoughts were cleared at this moment.

Consciousness is once again immersed in darkness.

But this time, he did not break the spiritual link with the array box.

He sat back down in front of his inner demons.

【"oh?"】

That dark shadow, I didn't expect Gu Shen to come back so soon. He smiled and asked: ["Do you understand? Do you have the answer?"]

"..."

Gu Shen responded expressionlessly: "Do you need to think about this kind of question?"

Should we save millions of people, or just one person?

The answer is simple.

Of course, everyone needs to be saved.

Disaster, ominousness, and inner demons...the evil spirits hiding in the darkness are actually not something to be feared, because they only appear when you are at your lowest, most shaken, and least confident in yourself.

Gu Shen no longer suppressed the bitter anger in his heart. He stood up and slapped him with his hand.

Snap!

The inner demon who was sitting cross-legged like an old monk in trance was knocked to the ground. He covered his cheek with one hand, looking stunned, frightened and shocked.

"???"

Gu Shen looked down at the latter and said calmly: "I didn't feel any pain when I hit you in the face... It seems that the relationship between you and me is not that close."

The inner demon opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But seeing Gu Shen's raised foot, he rationally chose to remain silent.

As Gu Shen’s inner demon.

He knew Gu Shen's character very well.

At this time, it is best to shut up.

"Be my inner demon, remember one thing, before taking action, make sure you find the right time."

Gu Shen said faintly: "You must choose to take action when I am extremely weak and dying... If you are not completely sure, don't be tempted by evil words, otherwise, the end will be tragic."

The kick that was raised fell down after all!

Bang!

The blazing fire spurted out from the center of his eyebrows, completely shattering the balance of light and darkness in the spiritual world. The sounds of howls and curses were annihilated by the sound of burning in the sea of ​​fire.

Gu Shen knew that the inner demon could not be killed.

But it doesn't matter, the burning of blazing fire has a miraculous effect on the spiritual body.

These pains will actually act on the "soul" of the inner demon.

After Gu Shen penetrated the "puzzle" set by his inner demon, he felt a sense of fear.

If I don't "awake" in time this time, then the spread of the "Lion Awakening Code" will be delayed... What will happen after the delayed spread, the consequences will be disastrous.

This short code delay may change the direction of the entire world in the future.

Fortunately...everything is possible in time.

At the last moment, Gu Shen's consciousness returned to the array box.

The green light containing the Lion's Awakening Code instantly enveloped the entire Dead Sea Authority Stone.

The complete Lion Wake code is sent.

This seemingly thrilling twists and turns lasted only a few seconds in the real world, and even the "witnesses" in the Huazhi underground were not aware of the dangers that the lion had experienced in the dreamland.

But...it's all over now.

The people of Sanzhou received the complete Lion's Awakening Dream sent by Pluto Gu Shen.

At the same time, the red door that had stood firm for thirty years finally shattered under the impact of the deep sea.

The black light that surged out of the sea shattered the red door and came to this spiritual sea.

Lion Wake Dream was successfully sent.

The result of the second code war is also settled at this moment...

The second war still ended with the failure of [Source Code].

And this time, the array box where [Source Code] was hiding and living was found by the main system. This was a disastrous failure.

Rumble, rumble!

The dull and trembling sound of the world shattering boiled in the sea of ​​array boxes.

Thousands of seawater stabbed at me like sharp knives.

There were only countless dazzling lights left in front of Chu Ling.

She subconsciously wanted to close her eyes.

But there was a figure blocking the light in front of him.

That figure is more dazzling than the glow, and also softer than the glow.

He is like a "sun".

Gu Shen opened his arms and blocked Chu Ling.

Gu Shen whispered: "Hold me tight."

Chu Ling was stunned.

The seawater evaporated in the blazing fire, and the array box was shattered by the Dead Sea.

The end of the world's destruction.

Two tiny figures hugged each other tightly.

Until it is swallowed up by the glow, annihilated, and disappears.
