“You didn't disappoint me..."

"Your growth rate is very fast, and your talent is unmatched across the Five Continents."

"I have finally waited for the day you came wielding your bow."

Qinglong said earnestly, "The only flaw is that you lack a Fire Seed. If I were to give you a Fire Seed, perhaps you would have a chance to kill me."

But… there is everything in this world except ifs.

He stood up, and the throne shattered amidst the roaring thunder.

Lin Lei's Great Cold Source was attached to his flesh and bones, but Qinglong forcibly shattered this layer of coldness with his own powerful and profound extraordinary source matter…

He could have stood up long ago.

He simply chose not to.

Just as he said to Deep Sea, he wanted to see who wanted to kill him, and what methods these people had.

"All of you, come at me together."

…

…

"Lord God Seat, how long until we reach the battlefield?"

Within the Pure Land Divine Kingdom, the shadows of people were densely packed.

A sea of people.

Gu Shen sat under the Su Xuan Tree. He opened his eyes, looked at Tie Wu who was itching to fight, and said softly, "Soon."

Tie Wu looked helpless.

He had already asked several times.

Each time, the God Seat's answer was, "Soon."

Li Qingci did not conceal the matter of returning home. Now, every soul in the Pure Land longed to return home in glory with Lord Hades!

They knew.

That the Five Continents were currently in dire straits.

War and strife continued.

But if they were to arrive on the battlefield… then the direction of this war would be different.

Wherever Hades’ Pure Land spread, even the "martyrs" endlessly breeding from the Traveler's clan would be unable to resist.

Who could contend against an immortal undead legion?

The "Immaculate Legion" that the previous Hades had painstakingly tried to build was realized in Gu Shen's hands.

Arriving at the perfect Pure Land, which now possessed complete "seasons," birthed its own world rules, and whose eight giant flowerbeds produced an extremely considerable amount of extraordinary source matter every day.

The souls detained by Gu Shen in the Pure Land were all growing very "stout"!

This was also the main reason why Tie Wu was itching to take action. As the chief instructor of the Ten Thousand Forbidden Army, he couldn't wait to use the Source Tower as a whetstone to vent his anger.

"This time, we are really going home soon."

Gu Shen reached out a hand and gently patted Tie Wu's head from afar.

This journey across billions of miles of void was only a little bit away from the final destination.

From south to north and from north to south.

Unknowingly, Gu Shen had circled around this entire "world."

Traveling upstream along the navigation map left by Storm, in recent days, Gu Shen had successively seen the familiar coordinates left in the Jin Sui Hua navigation map. If there were no accidents, he could return to the Five Continents in at most a week.

Perhaps it was because of "homesickness."

Gu Shen's originally calm mind had been feeling uneasy these past few days.

Li Qingci was also very nervous.

She was very worried about her sister's safety. With the war in the Five Continents, the Li Clan would certainly not sit idly by, and the Nagano Five Great Families would definitely participate in the war… she wondered if Qingsui, the little girl, was safe and sound in this dangerous torrent of war?

"In a few days, perhaps we will be able to receive the spirit link from [Apostle]."

This was close to the outermost edge of the Ice Sea.

As long as he entered the Ice Sea range, he should be able to restore his mental connection with Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu.

Gu Shen was also very apprehensive. He hoped that when he returned to the Ice Sea, he would see a scene of "the end of the war," with the Allied Forces having defeated Central Continent, and Mr. Bai Shu and Empress Lin Lei jointly suppressing Qinglong.

But…

The dangerous premonitions constantly transmitted by Cinder Fire told him.

That things were not so simple.

"God Seat… Lord God Seat…"

Just as Gu Shen was deducing and calculating, a faint cry suddenly rang in his mind.

Gu Shen was stunned for a second.

He was very familiar with this voice.

"Jin Sui Hua?"

Gu Shen instantly left the Time Dojo, the nether fire ignited between his brows, he stepped out, his figure left the starship, and in the next moment, he appeared in the void of the [Old World]!

A single teleport was several miles, and he repeated this.

Following his inner sense, Gu Shen quickly found the source of the sound!

In the void, a gate was shattered, and a huge python traveled through the chaotic space torrent, covered in blood at this moment!

Seeing Jin Sui Hua, Gu Shen's eyes were first filled with joy, and then suddenly turned gloomy.

Blood!

Jin Sui Hua was covered in blood!

"Lord God Seat… I have finally found you…"

Jin Sui Hua howled to the sky, it was already exhausted to the extreme at this moment.

The last time Gu Shen contacted Jin Sui Hua was when he was fighting "Silver Fox." At that time, Gu Shen hoped that Jin Sui Hua would come to pick him up and take him to escape… but unfortunately, this trick of "drawing firewood from under the cauldron" was not used in the end. Deep Sea used the exile array to banish himself to the end of the [Old World]! Until the very end, he did not meet Jin Sui Hua!

For him, the five years of exile were a "trapped dream."

And for Jin Sui Hua, these years were a "nightmare."

Putting his hand on his heart and asking himself, Gu Shen was indeed not a good master. Since bestowing freedom to Jin Sui Hua in the maze, he had not taken care of this big guy very much. During those years when his life and death were uncertain in the Ice Sea, it was always Mu Wanqiu who took care of it.

He looked at the big snake with great heartache, reached out his palm, and touched Jin Sui Hua's snake body.

"You have been looking for me all these years?"

The separation took place in the northern void!

Now Jin Sui Hua reunited with him south of the Ice Sea…

Such rushing around was not easy. The space of the [Old World] was not continuous, and this south and north were almost separated by a natural chasm!

Earlier, under Gu Shen's order, Jin Sui Hua had been active in the northern void, which was the jurisdiction of the Investigation Corps, and Mu Wanqiu was there to back her up if something happened.

But that incident was different.

In order to escape, Jin Sui Hua was forced to open a void gate to escape.

Watching his master being banished with his own eyes…

It went madly towards the "blurred coordinates" of spiritual induction. Jin Sui Hua originally wanted to rely on its talent for traveling in the void to break through the confusion of the [Old World] and take back its master, but unfortunately, it underestimated the danger in the depths of the [Old World]. Without the protection of a starship, only a super extraordinary life at the level of God Seat could safely sail alone.

This huge snake body was covered with turned-up scales.

These injuries were all left behind by wandering the [Old World]…

"Originally, I was almost there."

Jin Sui Hua obediently lowered its head, letting Gu Shen reach out and touch its flat head. It hissed, half resentful and half helplessly said, "But your coordinates suddenly changed..."

It had suffered who knows how much!

Just as Jin Sui Hua was about to lock down Gu Shen's specific coordinates…

The silent Gu Shen suddenly moved!

This movement caused all its plans to fall through. The big snake chased Gu Shen's moving trajectory in a very embarrassed manner, all the way south, and finally, there was this meeting.

Gu Shen said softly, "You have suffered these years."

The movement of the coordinates was because he broke through the nightmare and chose to go south.

Coincidentally, and also uncoincidentally, he and Jin Sui Hua missed each other.

"Being able to see you, to see you safe… the hardships I have suffered are nothing."

Jin Sui Hua continued to hiss.

It squinted its narrow eyes, its eyes filled with relief.

Gu Shen patted the big guy's head.

He released his fire of life, and wherever the cinder fire passed, the turned-up scales of Jin Sui Hua closed again one by one, and those broken wounds and fractured and dry skin were also repaired by the cinder fire.

Jin Sui Hua was selling its life for him!

How could he let it bear such a heavy burden?

Jin Sui Hua made a comfortable hissing sound, enjoying Gu Shen's caress and the recuperation of the fire of life.

Gu Shen said softly, "Come home with me."

This sentence awakened Jin Sui Hua.

"That's right! Lord God Seat, this is the [Old World] map I have drawn in the past five years. In order to find you, I have broken through many void gates. This map is larger and more complete than the northern void..."

It suddenly remembered that there was another important matter.

An extremely detailed spiritual map was transmitted to Gu Shen's mind!

In the past, it would have done this work and reported it to Mu Wanqiu… but the two of them had lost contact for a long, long time because of the distance.

This map was priceless!

But Gu Shen just glanced at it and put it away, without looking at it much, because he noticed that Jin Sui Hua's emotions were not normal.

"You seem to have other things to say?"

Gu Shen spoke softly.

"Yes… Lord God Seat…"

Jin Sui Hua was very hesitant.

It hissed, thought for a long time, and slowly asked, "You just said you wanted to 'return home'?"

The words "return home" were emphasized by it.

"What?"

"When I was wandering in the northern void… I encountered an extremely terrifying source matter storm. I was very lucky that time, and before I was swept into the storm, I encountered a gate. So I quickly opened the door and fled, but still left behind irreparable injuries."

Jin Sui Hua's tone at this moment was filled with the lingering fear of a catastrophe.

Gu Shen also noticed it.

Almost half of Jin Sui Hua's tail had been twisted off.

This injury had exceeded the scope of "fire of life" repair… but Jin Sui Hua had adapted to this twist injury, and the final snake tail healed by itself, but it was half the size of before!

"Source matter storm in the northern void?"

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He knew that sooner or later, there would be an unprecedented super giant source matter storm that would land on the Five Continents.

The one Jin Sui Hua encountered… was it that one?

"I have also seen big scenes."

Jin Sui Hua lowered its voice and said solemnly, "Lord God Seat, I assure you that the horror and power of this source matter storm cannot be described in words. At that time, I was only swept by the edge of the storm and almost died… Even with your great power, touching it would only lead to 'falling'! Before drilling into the gate, I saw with my own eyes that this source matter storm was heading south towards the Five Continents!"

To this point.

How could Gu Shen not understand Jin Sui Hua's meaning?

In its opinion, returning home was not a good thing… If that super giant source matter storm were to reach the Five Continents, then the Great Wall and the borderlands would be uprooted!

"The reason why a homeland is a homeland is because it cannot be abandoned."

Gu Shen reached out and patted the big guy's head.

He said softly, "If you are afraid, you can leave on your own."

Jin Sui Hua was stunned for a second.

It could see that Gu Shen was not surprised by its information, nor did he show any suspicion.

Lord God Seat… already knew that there was such an extremely terrifying source matter storm heading south?

Jin Sui Hua shook its huge head, its voice extremely firm: "I won't leave. It was hard to see you, this time… wherever you go, I will go."

"Idiot."

Gu Shen patted Jin Sui Hua's head hard and scolded with a smile.

He suddenly restrained his smile and said softly, "This storm will kill many people, and perhaps I will die in it too."

Jin Sui Hua stared at Gu Shen with its vertical pupils.

"But I still have to go back."

Gu Shen said, "I want to try what the Hunting God Seat failed to do."

Although these words were spoken to Jin Sui Hua.

But it was more like Gu Shen's soliloquy.

As he approached home, his mind was uneasy, not only because of the war, but also because of the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over everyone's heads.

Super giant source matter storm!

This high-hanging sword could fall at any time and cut everyone down!

He could certainly choose to escape, just like the Storm God Seat, taking the starship all the way north, bypassing the trajectory of the source matter storm, praising it as leaving a glimmer of life for civilization…

But Gu Shen didn't want to choose that.

Because…

He had already proven one thing, there were no oases in this world.

The whole world was just that big!

The Lord of Molten Iron chose to take the civilians of the starship era aboard the ship to escape back then because they firmly believed that in the depths of the unknown world, there was an unblemished homeland that was not attacked by storms, but after hundreds of years of sailing, they stumbled back to the origin.

There was no oasis at all.

This world was a huge sphere.

"So… even if you die, you are willing to follow me?"

Gu Shen looked at Jin Sui Hua.

He stretched out his palm and gently held the big snake's chin.

The cinder fire burned, and the real world was pulled into a dream. The big snake's body suddenly shrunk, from hundreds of meters to dozens of meters, then to several meters, and finally like a long scarf, it hung on Gu Shen's body. The surrounding scenes had unknowingly changed into the Pure Land Kingdom, and it had returned to the familiar "beneath the Su Xuan Tree."

"Of course!"

Jin Sui Hua's voice was very serious.

The color of its vertical pupils was very clean, black and white.

"No matter how Lord God Seat chooses, Jin Sui Hua will swear to follow to the death!"

Countless grass leaves flew and swept across the wilderness.

Tie Wu, who was sitting under the Su Xuan Tree, leaning against the tree to enjoy the cool air, chewing on a grass leaf and blowing in the wind, suddenly saw the shadow of Lord God Seat descending, holding the "little spotted snake" that he had always disliked.

A cold wind blew, and he shuddered.

Good fellow?

After not seeing each other for so many years, they gave him a big wave as soon as they met. Was this showing loyalty to Lord God Seat?

Hearing Jin Sui Hua's oath, he spat out the grass leaf with a "呸" sound and quickly stood up.

"This humble subordinate is willing to go through fire and water with Lord God Seat, and will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

Tie Wu's voice was louder than Jin Sui Hua's.

His voice spread to every corner of the Pure Land. Most of those dead souls were mentally incomplete and lacked complete will, and their speech was not smooth.

But under Tie Wu's training.

They were trained like steel, and they stopped their "farming" one after another.

"This humble subordinate is willing to go through fire and water with Lord God Seat! And will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

"Go through fire and water! And will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

Li Qingci helplessly raised her head.

The mountains and plains were all covered with flying flowers and golden leaves.

As well as the mountain and sea-like sound of "swearing to follow to the death."

Li Qingci was a little dazed.

She reached out and pressed down on her bamboo hat, and smiled softly and muttered.

"Qingci is also willing to follow Lord God Seat... to go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to die ten thousand times."
