"Do not look directly at the sun."

This was a piece of advice Gu Changzhi received long before he had tempered the Dou Zhan Fire Seed.

The one who gave him this advice was none other than the "Light Divine Seat" who was stationed in Light City, West Continent.

He was also his mentor.

Before Gu Changzhi took control of the Fire Seed, when people mentioned "the sun," they often thought of the existence in Light City, because he was blazing, vast, and impossible to look at directly.

Until a purer young man appeared.

He was more dazzling than the sun.

The sun, which shines on the entire Five Continents, selflessly bestows light upon every person in the world.

But this light has a time limit: sunset and moonrise, the shifting of constellations.

No one can stop this law.

If you want to greedily retain the light and look directly at the sun in the firmament... then you will gain more, but also lose more.

Excessive pursuit of light will blind a person.

Those who look directly at the sun will self-immolate.

At this moment, the Wine Divine Seat's moon-white robe spontaneously burst into flames, a "divine fire" that could burn even the soul. In addition to the violent battle intent of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed itself, there was also a grand and fierce light.

The Wine Divine Seat painfully covered his face, hot divine blood constantly seeping and flowing between his fingers.

He had looked directly at "the sun."

And then... he lost his sight.

Heart-wrenching pain surged like a tide. The Wine Divine Seat trembled and released his hands. His eyes, once full of purple brilliance, were now burned, leaving only empty sockets. Within, there was nothing... Thin scarlet blood flowed out, sizzling as it slid down his cheeks. As it dripped in the air, it was burned into wisps of bloody smoke.

Gu Changzhi released his hands and calmly took two steps back.

The Wine Divine Seat stumbled, steadying himself. He tried to "open his eyes wide," but he couldn't see anything.

Pitch black.

A year ago, he had voluntarily closed his eyes, choosing to be blind.

But now.

He had been deprived of "sight," forced to become blind.

In his spiritual Purple Sea, angry waves surged.

He tried to release his spiritual power... Losing sight was not scary.

What was terrifying was... that when his spiritual power scanned things and transmitted them to his mind, it was still a pitch-black, chaotic mess.

He seemed to have lost the ability to "see" forever.

Not just a physical loss... but a spiritual one as well.

"Why... why..."

The Wine Divine Seat trembled, touching his face with his hands. He raised his head, feeling only infinite cold in the darkness... a cold even colder than the Great Frost Disaster.

The young man's handsome face was covered in blood. He raised his head blankly and said with a sorrowful smile, "Is it because my Fire Seed is weaker than yours?"

Gu Changzhi looked at him calmly.

He shook his head.

Then he realized... the Wine Divine Seat couldn't see him at this moment.

So Gu Changzhi slowly said, "Of course not... Fire Seeds are not divided into high and low. Your Fire Seed has never been weak."

"It's just that you are weaker than me, much weaker."

Compared to Gu Changzhi, Di Jiu was far behind in terms of his grasp of the Fire Seed, his own aptitude, the strength of his fighting will, and the most important thing on the path of transcendent cultivation, his "heart of inquiry."

Too much.

The Wine Divine Seat looked pale and lost.

Of course, he knew that he was far behind Gu Changzhi. When it came to actual combat, who in this world could compare to the Dou Zhan Divine Seat in front of him?

He just didn't expect.

That the difference would be so great.

"The Federal Government currently has no laws or regulations to deal with the Supreme Seats," Gu Changzhi said softly. "But you can choose to leave with dignity."

The Divine Seats of the Supreme Council were the ones who made the rules in the first place.

Mastering the Fire Seed was the Federal Government's greatest trust in them... It was impossible to restrain them.

If it were ordinary times, if they violated some ordinary rules, the Federal Government would have to let it go.

But the Wine Divine Seat's act of entering East Continent and stirring up a wave of rebellion.

Had seriously violated the tacit rules between the Supreme Seats!

Once a Divine Seat started a war, then the Five Continents would fall into war.

This was an untouchable iron law!

"You... what do you mean..."

The Wine Divine Seat's face became even paler, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger.

"Although you look like a child."

Gu Changzhi said, "But you have lived long enough. It's time to say goodbye to this world."

Time to say goodbye to this world?

This... was going to kill him!

The Wine Divine Seat shrieked and used all the power of his Fire Seed, the overwhelming Purple Sea covering the sky and sun, crashing down on Gu Changzhi.

Even ordinary mortals would unleash several times or dozens of times their usual strength when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

The Divine Seats were even more so!

He overdrafted this Fire Seed to the best of his ability. After the entire Purple Sea poured down, the Wine Divine Seat fled without looking back...

Divine Seat battles were extremely difficult to resolve!

He didn't believe that Gu Changzhi could kill him here!

The Purple Sea roared, tearing apart the ceiling, and smashed down on one person.

Gu Changzhi narrowed his eyes, and the radiance of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed reappeared behind him. A great sun, emitting endless blazing light, and the golden divine domain that poured out directly enveloped the entire Purple Sea.

This was a divine battle that compared the power of Fire Seeds!

How could the Dou Zhan Fire Seed be afraid?

The Purple Sea fell!

The Great Sun hung high!

Gu Changzhi raised his hands, and the endless Purple Sea was drawn in by the light of the Great Sun, gathering and turning into a tornado that quickly swirled in his palm. Under the illumination of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed, the immense Purple Sea was condensed and shrunk in front of his chest in just a few breaths.

Like a mud ball thrown into a copper furnace.

The Great Sun rumbled—

Burning the Sea!

The Wine Divine Seat, who was fleeing rapidly, looked pained. He was almost about to fall from the ceiling, because the scorching of the golden divine domain was not only acting on his Purple Sea, but also burning his soul!

"Ah..."

He covered his forehead, writhing in pain.

At this moment, where was there any intention to fight Gu Changzhi?

He had already accepted the reality of his utter defeat, and now he just wanted to escape from East Continent and back to the Tower of Origin!

Under the burning of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed, the Purple Sea was evaporating at an extremely fast rate!

The Wine Divine Seat made a crazy move... He didn't want this entire Purple Sea, the vast spirit he had cultivated for decades!

A wisp of thought directly ignited it!

A gecko can sever its tail to survive.

And this time, he had cut off half of his body!

With a "boom!"

A terrifying sonic boom exploded in the sky above the cemetery.

Within the range of the light pillar, there was the sound of a purple spiritual explosion. The Wine Divine Seat detonated his entire Purple Sea. Even with Gu Changzhi's suppression, the power of this spiritual sea was still too violent...

Outside the cemetery, a gust of wind swept through.

Everyone was shocked.

The spiritual tide came too fast, and in just an instant, it carried an aura of death and almost rushed out of Qingzhong!

Gu Changzhi's expression was gloomy.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

The extinguished array patterns of the Qingzhong Great Array were all ignited at this moment, and beams of golden light soared into the sky, forming an extremely strong barrier of light around the edge of the cemetery.

And the next moment, the Purple Sea that had exploded crashed into this indestructible barrier. The sea waves crazily impacted the wall. This was a battle between the Wine Fire Seed and the Dou Zhan Fire Seed... As water and fire wore away at each other, the light of the array patterns quickly dimmed, but in the end, it still resisted the explosive tide of this spiritual sea.

Gu Changzhi, with his fist raised, instantly appeared behind the Wine Divine Seat.

He threw a punch!

The Wine Divine Seat's body was directly smashed to pieces. The young man coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and the moon-white robe on his back was scorched by the blazing light and fire, revealing the porcelain-like white skin on his back. This skin was as smooth as jade and had already transcended the realm that ordinary mortal flesh could cultivate to.

Ordinary weapons made of strong logical materials could not leave any scars at all. Only by using bullets of the "Avalanche Snow" level and launching a surprise attack could limited damage be inflicted.

But... with just one punch!

A spider web had been smashed out of the young man's back!

Then came the second punch...

The Wine Divine Seat, who was blind, turned around and resisted with both hands. In the face of life and death, he tried to use his flesh to fight against the Dou Zhan Fire Seed's close combat... But when he made his move, he suddenly remembered the battle he had seen in the Old World.

The terrifying Pluto had "died" under Gu Changzhi's hand-to-hand combat.

With a "buzz," a punch!

Gu Changzhi's punch made his ears tremble.

All the sounds in the world became a constricted long line.

Blood was spilled in the long sky.

The Wine Divine Seat was beaten back thousands of meters, his back heavily hitting the high-built wall of light... These pains were nothing. He turned around and wanted to escape.

For some reason, he felt a dark shadow looming around him.

The Wine Divine Seat, who had lost his sight, did not know that a black cloud had enveloped him.

His turning movement paused slightly.

The perfected [Reverse Flow] domain could not really have an effect on a Divine Seat... Even if this Divine Seat had already been beaten to within an inch of his life, his lamp was dry, and he had almost exhausted all his strength.

But slowing him down slightly was possible.

So, at the moment when the Wine Divine Seat paused.

A young figure rushed out of the black clouds in the sky. The sharp iron armor that had been brought out of the Tundra Mausoleum had now transformed again, turning into a heavy iron axe that was dragged behind him.

Compared to the speed of a Divine Seat, Gu Shen's rushing speed was not fast, but under the remote blessing of the Pluto Fire Seed in the cemetery, his whole body was covered with a chilling aura of silence.

The Wine Divine Seat, who had run out of options, felt the familiar Pluto aura and completely gave up struggling.

At this moment, the Wine Divine Seat laughed mockingly.

His mind recalled everything he had experienced in the mausoleum...

Everything originated from peeking into the mist of the Old World many years ago.

Now, he had understood the real mist.

A scam.

It was all a scam.

The scene he saw in the Old World was fake. Pluto had never died.

He and Gu Changzhi had set up this game, just waiting for him to enter the mausoleum!

With a "噗嗤" sound.

Gu Shen raised his axe and chopped off the head of the young Wine Divine Seat.

The next moment, Gu Changzhi teleported in and caught the head, which had lost its sight, hearing, and six senses, but was still alive.

With one punch.

He blew it up.
