Chapter 1 The Initial Number

　　A Fu stared at the flickering flame before him.

　　According to the time in the real world, Gu Shen had entered the "time turbulence" for fifteen days. For these fifteen days, the flame had been stable, but just now, the flame suddenly trembled violently—

　　This was not a good omen.

　　If the "turbulence" Gu Shen entered had a faster time ratio than the real world, then A Fu would need to receive a signal and react by leaving!

　　"Inhibition, stop!"

　　A Fu quickly stopped the time inhibition, and a series of rumbling sounds immediately rang out.

　　In the void, a thin and childish figure slowly appeared.

　　That transaction was fair, and no one could confirm the final result...

　　It glanced at the Divine Infant. Did you watch too much?

　　After a moment, Lei Nuo told him everything about the Divine Infant and what happened after the [Annihilation Dream] barrier was sealed.

　　Gu Shen wanted to save people, and Lie Tangxue wanted to kill people.

　　["The Upper City has decided to make a deal with the Storm Church...]

　　If Lie Tangxue had really comprehended the origin with her own strength, then Gu Shen's trip would be mostly ominous. So the perspective quickly shifted.

　　Lu Nanzhi also changed her perspective. "His luck is indeed bad."

　　Tangxue said helplessly: "This matter is a bit complicated to explain..."

　　He was very clear.

　　"Master Tangxue chopped off that old thing's arm!"

　　He looked badly injured. "..."

　　Madam smiled and said, "Xiao Xiu saved me, but what was saved this time is not just me... There's also..."

　　The person who spoke was the Title from the Upper City's Holy Cross Academy.

　　Indeed.

　　It examined the infant before it...

　　Perhaps all the efforts would become water under the bridge. [Deep Sea] has implemented information barrier protection for Central Continent.

　　"Gu Shen... Are you okay?!"

　　One comes, I kill one! Two come, I kill a pair!

　　Gu Xiaoman said helplessly: "My side is going back to its decision to compromise with the Storm Church, offering more chips than the Upper City, in exchange for 'Red Dragon'."

　　As soon as the words fell, Lei Nuo smiled and waved his hand, and a wisp of the fire of life permeated from between his eyebrows.

　　Those six months.

　　He closed his eyes, but the mental link was not broken.

　　Either they were like the Eight Great Generals, with outstanding strength and boundless luck.

　　Unfortunately.

　　"He's talking? He can talk?!"

　　Bai Xiu immediately connected, and a face appeared on the projection screen.

　　He should have told Xiaoman these things himself. Since Gu Shen was going to Central Continent to save people, Tangxue should have told her about what happened after the Chan Wing City incident after a successful rescue.

　　"It's not urgent these few days."

　　Bai Xiu's expression was a little subtle.

　　At this moment, the childish voice coming from the infant's mouth directly stunned A Fu.

　　"The battle location is in the inner sea of ​​Rhine City, which is Yekaterina's garrison area..."

　　But even so, the Ancient Text Society must be saved. This rescue trip was not so smooth. Relying on the gift, he obtained a large wisp of the power of origin in a very short time.

　　Bai Xiu said seriously: "What about your side?"

　　Only being old doesn't mean being strong. "And?"

　　"Tangxue-"

　　A slight carelessness could result in severe injuries.

　　She whispered: "According to Lord Ziyu's instructions, during this period you need a lot of 'meditation' to recover from your injuries... Rest well, we'll take care of the outside matters."

　　"I'm fine." Gu Shen was silent for a while.

　　But that smile was indeed a bit bleak.

　　That was the Dean of the Holy Cross Academy, an old powerhouse of the same era as Gu Qilin, and could be regarded as a veteran transcendent of Central Continent.

　　He was most afraid of getting injured. "Lie Tangxue."

　　"It's almost impossible..."

　　Gu Xiaoman said in a deep voice: "With a Storm God on guard, they don't care about the coordinates being leaked."

　　"Lie Tangxue comprehended the origin."

　　A wisp of mind power comprehended and melted the Hades Fire Seed in the Pure Land.

　　And escaping from Central Continent and betraying the Upper City only had one source.

　　Bai Xiu's voice was full of joy. Seeing that face, he knew that Gu Shen had successfully brought Lu Nanzhi out of Central Continent.

　　A picture was inserted into the mental link. Being known by the human world was only a matter of time.

　　Gu Xiaoman placed a lamp sealing object at the head of Gu Shen's hospital bed. The lamp emitted a stern glow, and these glows were like sweet rain, making people feel mentally relaxed.

　　The Storm God decided to take the core members of the church and escape from the Southern Continent.

　　That was to join the Eight Continents Alliance! Fifteen days passed.

　　In recent years, Lie Tangxue had been on the upswing. How could she suddenly comprehend the power of origin? The origin was not a power you could find on every street corner.

　　"It's Gu Shen!"

　　As for the key to this situation, Lu Nanzhi, of course, ran away without looking back.

　　Lei Nuo asked with concern: "You said earlier that Gu Shen and Lie Afu fought and suffered this injury?"

　　That battle…

　　Lei Nuo's current physical strength could only withstand it for so long, and anything longer would cause problems.

　　The face on the screen was childish and immature, and still had some traces of wind and frost.

　　Lei Nuo certainly remembered Lie Afu's name. "You guessed right, I'm still alive." Then the Red Dragon would be their last bargaining chip. "Where did Xiao Xiu go?"

　　Tangxue knew of the existence of the Ancient Text Society and trusted Gu Shen's character... The most important thing was that it also wanted to contact Xiaoman as soon as possible to ensure its safety.

　　That figure was wrapped in a ball of fire.

　　"I don't know why, but I'm a little envious of Storm."

　　Lu Nanzhi said fiercely: "Although Master Gu Shen was injured, that guy must have been injured even worse, and is probably still in seclusion!"

　　The time turbulence was too dangerous. Only a God could have the strength to achieve 100% self-protection.

　　If a higher magnification was triggered,

　　A voice of mental connection from the distant void suddenly sounded.

　　["The Upper City will provide sufficient strong logic materials and a medium-sized cloud ship. In return, the Storm Church will ensure that the biggest traitor under the Source Tower, the Red Dragon Apostle, is escorted back unharmed. This transaction will be finalized in seven days. The Upper City will send people to the Ice Sea to personally check on the 'Red Dragon' situation."]

　　But the only regret was that no matter how fast the fire of life's repair speed was, it still needed time.

　　Like Lie Afu.

　　"Xiaoman has been successfully taken away, and I am currently placed in the Metropolitan Area. I am very grateful."

　　It looked at Gu Shen in disbelief, and happily circled around the little guy a few times.

　　"… Mmm."

　　That time was indeed a bit long.

　　Unfortunately, I can't return to Central Continent now, otherwise the task of rescuing Xiaoman would naturally be done by me.

　　"Do you need me to heal those injuries you suffered?"

　　The Initial Number had been exposed.

　　The damage caused by time turbulence was at most a "skin injury". The fire of life could be easily applied, and it would heal in ten days or half a month.

　　I raised my arms and looked at the scars all over my body.

　　The biggest gain from this "seclusion" was that I could successfully speak... In any case, the Divine Infant's body had grown for one hundred and seventy days, which was a real result.

　　"It's not just successfully saving people."

　　"I can't hold on after only half a year in the time turbulence."

　　It believed that this young man would not let it down.

　　Tangxue frowned.

　　Lei Nuo had a complicated expression. I sighed softly and waved my hand, signaling Bai Xiu to turn the camera to his side. Sooner or later, Xiaoman would see this appearance of his.

　　Lu Nanzhi blinked and looked at the Initial Number on the screen. Master Gu Shen told you that Lei Nuo was now in the Initial Number. You couldn't wait to dial this link, but you didn't see Lei Nuo's figure.

　　Speaking of Gu Shen, Bai Xiu's expression became worried, and he said, "I asked him to bring Tangxue and back... I don't know how he's doing."

　　Another wisp of mind power was simulating how to pull out the suspended sword from the Dream of the Lord of Love.

　　Lei Nuo spoke with concern.

　　The Initial Number was docked in the void of the northern fortress.

　　Neither of those two wisps of mind power had made any good progress.

　　However, that was just a joke. Lei Nuo joked with a smile. I need some time to accept it. But not Gu Shen.

　　"No wonder, Xiao Xiu was able to successfully save people..." A Fu quickly opened the bronze hatch.

　　"Beep!"

　　At this moment, a figure pushed open the door to the ward and walked in.

　　It didn't have Gu Shen's appearance... I and Chi Shou would be captured back to the Origin Tower for questioning. The opportunity was not to be missed. Wang Chong simply took advantage of the battle between the two and Chi Shou to escape from Rhine City.

　　Lie, Afu, might not be as good as the old man Gu Qilin.

　　Bai Xiu smiled and said, "However, Storm's luck was even better back then."

　　Gu Xiaoman said sternly: "This is intelligence sent back by Xiao Xiu... In the inner sea area east of Rhine, he and Lie Afu fought peacefully. Although he successfully saved people, he was also seriously injured as a result."

　　I thought this matter was really unbelievable.

　　Gu Xiaoman smiled slightly: "In addition to Lu Nanzhi and Yekaterina, Xiao Xiu also brought back two Upper City informants."

　　"How long has it been in the real world?" Half a year was still a bit short.

　　"He has been gone for seventeen days."

　　Lei Nuo raised his eyes to look at Bai Xiu, and the first question he asked was the time in the real world.

　　Those things were indeed very simple...

　　Lie Afu's attack in the inner sea made Wang Chong feel despair.

　　Gu Shen was still an infant, but at this moment, he could land steadily after landing on the Initial Number.

　　"You don't need to worry about the existence of the 'Initial Number' being known to outsiders. Only a very few people know about this."

　　Gu Xiaoman said: "It is said that Lie Tangxue on the Central Continent side was also seriously injured."

　　After the soul merged into the body,

　　And I only stayed in the Ice Sea for a week.

　　The Divine Infant could develop normally. If there was no spacetime turbulence to adjust the time ratio, it would take at least half a year for Lei Nuo to barely be able to speak.

　　Gu Xiaoman sighed and said, "Qinglong is caught in a hard battle and has no time to spare, so he handed over the power of the Sky God's throne to [Deep Sea] for disposal. In order to deal with the upcoming Eight Continents Alliance, [Deep Sea] is still in Central Continent looking for [Apostle] candidates and has begun to sow the power of origin."

　　Lei Nuo's mind power had been calculating the time that had passed in the void.

　　"Origin? Lie Afu can still comprehend the origin at this age?!"

　　"Xiaoman!"

　　"Gu Shen and the Central Continent's Lie Tangxue had a fight."

　　Lei Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a gift from [Deep Sea]."

　　That was equivalent to triggering a "800-fold" time ratio!

　　Lei Nuo would not take a powerhouse who barely completed his promotion with the origin bestowed by [Deep Sea] seriously.

　　Tangxue was lying on the hospital bed, and I squeezed out a reassuring smile to Bai Xiu Lei Nuo on the other side of the mental link.

　　It was also an inevitable move.

　　This time leaving the East Sea, Bai Xiu was determined to find the traces left by his master... It no longer avoided intersecting with the Seven Continents Civilization, so before Gu Shen left, Bai Xiu handed over the "mental link authority" of the Initial Number to this young man. "Seventeen days."

　　Tangxue frowned: "It's very difficult to save the Red Dragon."

　　But with the existence of Wang Chong, the Upper City's recent plans and layout were all within sight.

　　"Brother Lei Nuo?"

　　I quickly reacted and asked: "[Deep Sea] is wanted by the Ancient Text Society, Yekaterina will definitely be affected, is she still alive?"

　　After Gu Shen stopped Lie Afu, the two top Titles each cast their domains, covering an area of the sea.

　　Gu Shen had a reassuring aura about him.

　　Gu Xiaoman said softly: "Gu Shen brought back more than just Xiaoman this time."

　　After all, my confidence in entering the turbulence was my own strength.

　　What was that supposed to mean? He wasn't really three years old! Wasn't this the "little guy" who lived with him in the Mulberry Continent Cave?

　　This could also be considered a kind of "promotion." Obviously.

　　Gu Xiaoman said softly: "Gu Shen still needs to recuperate these days. When I recover some consciousness, I will arrange to send these seven to the 'Initial Number'."

　　"Is Xiao Xiu doing well now?" This time, I couldn't guess it. In fact, the result was just like that.

　　Lei Nuo silently remembered this name.

　　"Master Gu Shen... is injured and recuperating."

　　How could this battle be so tragic?

　　"The transaction between the Source Tower and the Storm Church is not a secret among the upper echelons of the Upper City. In order to express his sincerity, Saint Chunli sent the specific coordinates of where the Red Dragon was being held to the Upper City before the transaction."

　　A faint crimson flame was also burning between his eyebrows.

　　Even a top mind power genius like Lei Nuo could only separate two wisps of mind power, and the cultivation could be said to be twice the effort with half the result.

　　"It's me." It wasn't Lu Nanzhi. [Sky Blade] Wang Chong. This was a last resort.

　　Lu Nanzhi looked at the opposite side with anticipation, and then saw the child who was two sizes smaller than herself.

　　Lei Nuo was slightly startled. "Little Gu."

　　Lei Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

　　Old Man Gu had passed his peak, and after the major event of the Divine War in the Mausoleum... the young Titles of Nagano had actually surpassed him.

　　Lu Nanzhi rubbed her eyebrows.

　　"It's okay."

　　Lei Nuo narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Good luck, the first time entering 'spacetime turbulence' triggered a ten-fold ratio."

　　"You don't have to worry, I'm fine." Either it came from the gift of the God.

　　Bai Xiu kindly said: "There are many medical equipment in the Initial Number."

　　Comprehending the origin was an opportunity that could not be sought for a Transcendent.

　　His skin was covered with wounds. Lei Nuo was stunned.

　　Countless murderous intentions lurked in the time turbulence.

　　It wasn't necessarily a bad thing if a high time ratio was triggered.

　　Lei Nuo looked around, and the Initial Number was empty.

　　Gu Xiaoman came to the camera, you looked at Tangxue, carefully examining this AI creation left over from the ancient civilization, and said politely: "Xiao Xiu is seriously injured, and the time I return to them every day is only a few minutes... Because contacting you is of great importance, I transferred the 'link permission' not long ago. The Ancient Text Society used some small means to take over this permission."

　　"Lei Nuo..."

　　During this period of time, Lei Nuo was not convenient to enter the turbulence again.

　　The reason why the Grain Goddess's "Time Dojo" was a epoch-making creation was because cultivation in the dojo did not need to consider external interference.

　　Xiao Xiu gently responded and did not return. "Indeed..."

　　Being injured, even if a high magnification was triggered, I couldn't stay for long, and it would be a safety hazard.

　　"Lei Nuo… Brother?" "One hundred and seventy days..."

　　This time in the Ice Sea ruins, Storm delayed the spacetime turbulence for a full eight years!

　　"Huh?"

　　But this kind of "promotion" was ultimately weak.
