"Do you know when the God War in the Tower of Origin will end?"

"Who knows the answer to that question besides the three within the tower?"

"Since you don't know the answer, why not order an attack... Once Qinglong wins, the current balanced situation will be broken."

In the small courtyard of Nagano, before the artificial lake, Gu Nanfeng accompanied the old man, quietly fishing. He could tell that the old man was very reluctant to withdraw from the front lines.

In the past, the old man was always quiet while fishing.

But today, only an hour had passed, and the old man couldn't sit still.

Gu Qilin kept talking to Gu Nanfeng about the "Central Continent War."

"Nanfeng, you should also be clear that the war currently taking place in the inland of the Southern Continent... is actually meaningless. No matter how fiercely we fight, it's just to bring the territory left by the Storm God Seat under our command. The 'High Walls of Origin' in Central Continent have already been built in several layers. [Deep Sea] obviously wants to build a real copper wall and iron fortress in Central Continent."

Gu Qilin coughed softly and said faintly, "[Deep Sea] is using Qinglong's Fire Seed to maximize the development of the Dead Sea region. As long as the newly promoted title of the Tower of Origin can bear the power of the Fire Seed authority, then it can continuously create powerhouses of the 'Lie. Renault' level."

The Three Continent Alliance was stalling for time, and [Deep Sea] was also stalling for time.

Nearly five years had passed.

The Transcendents of the Three Continent Alliance had ushered in their first wave of explosive growth.

The situation of the inland war had begun to change. The number of Transcendent reserves in the three academies of the Eastern Continent had multiplied several times, and the Northern Continent legions were constantly expanding—

According to the calculations of that year.

If they kept dragging on, the quality of the Transcendents in the Three Continent Alliance would become higher and higher!

This war would also become easier and easier!

But [Deep Sea] didn't seem to care... It didn't care about the Three Continent Alliance's delaying tactics, and even actively built high walls to isolate Central Continent from the outside world!

Gu Nanfeng pretended not to understand what Old Man Gu was saying.

He sighed softly, "So, what do you mean?"

"Let's fight."

Gu Qilin smiled and said gently, "Meng Xizhou has initially mastered the Fire Seed. In five years, the strength of the Allied forces has far exceeded that of the past. Even if it's not the final moment to attack Central Continent, it's time for the inland war in Southern Continent to come to an end."

Gu Nanfeng's expression was a little shaken.

Of course, he knew what Old Man Gu wanted to say.

Fight!

As the most staunch pro-war advocate five years ago, how could he not want to launch an attack... But standing at the highest level of the alliance, every move, every will, would really affect the lives of countless people.

If he, Gu Nanfeng, stood up today, stated his position, and wanted to launch a large-scale attack!

Then the entire Eastern Continent would be completely committed!

The Tribunal, the Prison, the Command, Nagano, Da Du, the nine major districts, would give everything! Along with the four major legions of the Northern Continent, and the entire Guang Ming Bi Lei!

After truly standing at the highest level, Gu Nanfeng became hesitant instead.

He wanted to fight, but he wanted to wait a little longer.

"There is one thing that I have never understood... What is the reason for [Deep Sea] to be willing to delay with the alliance."

Gu Nanfeng rubbed his brow and said bitterly, "The highest level has held more than one meeting. This matter has puzzled everyone, and we don't understand the purpose of [Deep Sea] doing this."

Sometimes, knowing the identity of the player on the opposite side of the board... is not necessarily a good thing.

Fighting a war with [Deep Sea], the high-level alliance faced enormous pressure. For every battle, large or small, the high-level had to hold meetings to discuss and conduct detailed layouts and deployments.

And [Deep Sea] had only one purpose.

Everything it did was to reach the final "victory."

Sometimes, losing a few battles meant nothing to [Deep Sea]—

At the beginning of the Southern Continent war, the Tower of Origin invested extremely powerful forces, and the three major legions of the Northern Continent were forced to send elites to the inland battlefield, which resulted in an attack on the Gu Fort Fortress... After attracting firepower, the Tower of Origin temporarily withdrew its deployment and strategically abandoned a small half of the Southern Continent territory.

Where did these people go?

Due to the monopoly of the spirit network... the high-level alliance had never known the answer.

Before long, that high wall in Central Continent stood up just like that!

At that moment, the high-level knew that the so-called Southern Continent war was just a guise... The number one priority in [Deep Sea]'s eyes was not to control the Southern Continent land, but to build effective enough defenses around Central Continent.

So, after that high wall was built, the high-level alliance became extremely cautious!

Bearing the lives of hundreds of millions of Transcendents, none of the high-level dared to make rash decisions. They tried their best to figure out the deep meaning of [Deep Sea]'s layout.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

Because they "couldn't understand," they dared not act rashly.

In the final analysis, their hard power was not enough. If the alliance had enough confidence to end the God War, then the horn for this final battle would have already been blown!

"You... really don't know the reason why [Deep Sea] is dragging things out?"

Old Man Gu sat in his chair and smiled softly.

"Let me tell you why there is that high wall. Because [Deep Sea] believes that the God War between Bai Shulinlei and Qinglong is a foregone conclusion. No matter how long this God War lasts, the result will be Qinglong's victory... So it built that high wall, it only needs to wait until the God War ends, and then everything will be over. It's betting that you don't have the courage to fight past it."

Gu Nanfeng was silent.

Of course, they knew this.

But knowing was knowing...

Now, Meng Xizhou was the only Fire Seed holder within the alliance. If Meng Xizhou was not confident in intervening in the God War, then they could not rashly launch a general offensive!

"We... still have a Fire Seed, don't we?"

Old Man Gu stretched out a hand and gently grasped Gu Nanfeng's palm.

He said softly, "These past few days, I have been dreaming. I dreamed of that kid Gu Changzhi, and I also dreamed of the scenes of participating in the war in the Northern Continent a long time ago... When the flames of war were flying, the faces of past deceased appeared one after another, floating in my mind like a revolving lantern. They told me not to have any regrets in the final battle of life."

Gu Nanfeng was stunned.

"Sometimes I have a feeling that I am already dead, and the scenes in the dream are the favor of the Goddess of Fortune before death."

Gu Qilin smiled leisurely, "It is indeed difficult for a villain like me to have a good ending."

In his youth, he participated in many battles. In the era when hot weapons were initially formed in the Northern Continent, he alone shot down three Origin Energy Boats... The number of Transcendent who died in Gu Qilin's hands was countless.

The resentment of these people turned into evil spirits, entangling him.

The old man gently cast the fishing rod.

"Clatter!"

With a crisp sound on the lake surface, the Limitless Scale domain instantly unfolded.

Gu Nanfeng's expression was complicated.

He looked at the old man who was entangled in countless dark resentments.

Gu Qilin had an extremely彪悍 wild life.

He bathed in blood all the way, hated by countless people, and also awed by countless people, and lived so happily and leisurely to his twilight years.

However, those Transcendent he killed were all recorded by "fate." The deaths of these people were as light as a feather, but when gathered together, they were as heavy as Mount Tai. Countless shadows gathered together and turned into a strong ominous aura. These "ominous aura" were waiting for the moment when he was truly old and weak.

The old man's back was very straight, even though these disastrous and obscure aura had filled his shoulders.

"See?"

Gu Qilin turned his head, many wrinkles appeared on his old face, and he flaunted to Gu Nanfeng like a child.

"These are all the people I killed."

"They all want to kill me..."

"Then, they were all killed by me."

"Now, they are here again."

Although Gu Qilin's eyes were a little cloudy, there was no trace of fear in them.

If you look closely, you will find that when he said these words, a strong contempt flashed in the depths of his pupils!

What if the people who had been killed once appeared again?

Ominous aura, disaster.

He had never been afraid of this kind of thing in his life!

"I don't care how many times they come... It's just that, after all, I'm old."

Gu Qilin smiled and said, "When I was twenty years old, I dared to welcome black silver bullets. Now I still dare, but I think I won't be able to survive after taking this shot. A彪悍 tough old man can not bow his head, not admit defeat, but he can't guarantee that he won't be knocked to the ground... I think fate will not give me a chance to climb up this time."

He hadn't stood up from his wheelchair for a long time.

It wasn't pretending to be weak.

But...

He was really old.

Gu Nanfeng's eyes blurred for a while, and his memory suddenly returned to the "Day of Parting" more than 20 years ago. At that time, "Old Man's" temples were gray, but his eyes were as fierce as a lion. When he sent himself to the Northern Continent, he told himself to relax a thousand times and ten thousand times. Although the Gu family had internal strife, Gu Lushan's little fox was no match for him.

But the old man today is no longer what he used to be.

After three generations.

The "life" of this old man, like a residual candle, had burned to the end.

So... this was the reason why he was unwilling to leave the Northern Continent battlefield.

This was also the reason why he had to talk to himself about the war in Central Continent today.

An old man who had fought his whole life hoped that the final "end" of his life would also be spent in battle.

If he couldn't participate in the war himself, then at least he could see... that most magnificent war!

Old Man Gu turned his wheelchair and faced Gu Nanfeng. He smiled kindly and said, "I hope that before I die, I can see the Tower of Origin fall, at least see that high wall fall."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath.

He was just about to say something.

"I hope that the Allied forces can achieve the final victory, and don't miss the opportunity because of hesitation. After all, I dreamed of Gu Changzhi, that guy told me... This battle should not be delayed any longer, we must fight as soon as possible!"

Gu Qilin raised his eyebrows and said, "Gu Changzhi has never lost whether he is fighting or fighting a war. I think I should listen to him and persuade you."

Gu Nanfeng gave a wry smile.

What was this?

Was this Mr. Gu Changzhi entrusting a dream?

Of course, it was impossible for him to order the Eastern Continent to launch a general offensive for this outrageous reason.

"You can just treat what I said today as a willful venting of dissatisfaction. The 'launch as soon as possible' that I said earlier... is just a beautiful vision that exists in my dream."

Old Man Gu patted Gu Nanfeng on the shoulder, he grinned, and finally just opened his mouth softly, "I know this battle requires a lot of consideration, a lot... I will try my best to wait for the arrival of the 'Day of Great Victory', and work hard to live."

……

……

After Gu Nanfeng left the Gu Clan Ancestral Hall, he stood in front of the hutong for a long time.

Since the start of the inland war, Nagano had lost its previous prosperity.

More than 90% of the Transcendent of the Gu Clan's main family had been dispatched and left Nagano... The snow-banned city under the Transcendent era had become desolate and lonely. He stood in front of the Ning River and thought for an entire night.

Finally, Gu Nanfeng went to Tin Silver City.

He chose to personally meet Meng Xizhou.

He didn't take the words that the old man said at the end as a wind in his ear...

That old fellow who was so old that he was unrecognizable could only lie in a wheelchair. Gu Nanfeng was partly out of respect for him, and the other half was because the words Gu Old Man said had aroused his vigilance.

He also believed that this battle could not be delayed any longer.

Over the years, Gu Nanfeng had always avoided meeting Meng Xizhou in private, because the identities of the two were sensitive. In the current all-out war, there were only a few supreme leaders in total.

On the Northern Continent side, there were the two brothers Lin Lin and Lin Chou.

On the Eastern Continent side, there were Gu Nanfeng and Lu Nanzhi.

And on the Western Continent, Meng Xizhou held all the power alone.

Their every move and every word would determine the direction of the entire battlefield, so Gu Nanfeng needed to ensure that he was in a rational and sober state at all times. Therefore, he had been deliberately avoiding meetings with Meng Xizhou all these years... It just so happened that the two were in charge of two different battlefields, and there were very few opportunities to meet in these years.

Today, Gu Nanfeng took the initiative to ask for a meeting for the first time.

Su Ye stood like a stone statue in front of the Guang Ming Bi Lei, and had already put on a bowing posture, obviously under the instruction of the goddess.

The entire Tin Silver City was shrouded in Meng Xizhou's divine domain.

The moment Gu Nanfeng stepped in.

Meng Xizhou knew.

"I thought... you would never come to see me."

A ethereal voice sounded above the divine seat.

Perhaps it was because of the fusion of the Fire Seed, this voice sounded majestic and sacred.

But…

The ending of this sentence had a hint of reproach.

"It's not that I don't want to, but..."

Gu Nanfeng wanted to explain, but the words came to his lips, but he stopped.

"But I dare not."

Meng Xizhou said the excuse for him.

Gu Nanfeng did not deny it.

In the face of the current crisis, the lives of thousands upon thousands were in his every thought.

How could he slack off, and how could he consider his "personal affairs"?

Presumably... Meng Xizhou thought so too.

Otherwise, how could he have really avoided seeing her all these years.

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath and said, "Today I came to find the goddess, because I wanted to discuss a major event."

"To conquer Central Continent and launch a general offensive."

Meng Xizhou spoke again, saying this sentence for Gu Nanfeng.

"That's right!"

Gu Nanfeng's eyes became firm, "I believe... this battle should not be delayed any longer."
