"Even… you could destroy the entire Central Continent, but you cannot destroy the Abyss Sea."

Gu Changzhi's words would make anyone who heard them feel incredibly safe.

The entire world was connected by the Abyss Sea, and the Abyss Sea could not be destroyed.

Therefore, the future of humanity was indestructible.

But to Gu Shen, it was a despairing thought… it meant that even if he became the Pluto in the future and wanted to flip the table, he couldn't destroy the Abyss Sea.

So far, perhaps only Gu Wen would think that the Abyss Sea needed to be suspected.

If this was a war…

Then humanity… had already lost miserably, because they had all joined the wrong camp.

Gu Shen was worried.

Gu Changzhi saw it and gently patted Gu Shen's shoulder, saying meaningfully, "Turing told me… that although he failed to destroy the Abyss Sea, he left hope behind."

Gu Shen looked up and murmured, "...Hope?"

"Turing told me that he left a Key and a string of Source Code in this world. One day, the Source Code and the Key will meet. That… is the hope he left behind."

Gu Changzhi nodded toward the distance.

Following Gu Changzhi's gaze, Gu Shen looked toward the side of the *Susuhagi* tree.

That was… the direction where Chu Ling was.

"Before going into hibernation, I went to the Divine Shrine Mountain." Gu Changzhi said, "I knew that the black flowers all over the Divine Shrine Mountain would come in handy one day. Congratulations, you and Miss Chu have finally met."

Gu Shen was slightly stunned.

Immediately, he realized… that Gu Changzhi had already revealed everything to Mr. Turing in the old world.

Then the matter of the Source Code was no longer a secret.

"We live in this world, and we always need hope… To mortals, that's a miracle. To gods, what should it be?" Gu Changzhi asked seriously.

This was a question posed to Gu Shen.

It was also a question worth pondering for everyone… Ordinary people yearn for others to save them, and this relationship is progressive. Those who have not awakened as transcendents, upon seeing the "broken mirror reunited," would consider it a miracle.

And after progressing through the layers, reaching the throne of the gods, there are still things that cannot be fulfilled.

Miracles are no longer miracles to gods.

"There is no absolute in this world. Hope and despair are two sides of the same mirror." Gu Changzhi said softly, "Everyone in this world says I am a hero, the light, the sun, but under the greatest wave, I chose to compromise. If I really stood up to oppose the Abyss Sea and expose the truth… perhaps they would say I am a hypocritical demon, an evil liar."

Gu Shen knew.

Everything Gu Changzhi had done was not to preserve his image.

But to protect the last "hope."

Standing up when the lamp was running out of oil would only extinguish the last hope.

A burned-out lamp cannot emit more light.

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said seriously, "What you did… was not wrong."

"Since there is no absolute, how can we talk about right and wrong?"

Gu Changzhi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I waited for you."

His eyes showed relief. As he said this, he looked behind him, at the cemetery outside the Pure Land, and the Nagano City outside the cemetery.

"Or rather… you all."

There, were a new generation of young transcendents. From these people in this change of the cemetery, Gu Changzhi saw the hope he had craved twenty years ago… To him, the flames of the world gathered on one person were not burning.

But scattered.

Thousands of people lighting fires together could burn the sea.

If there was no Gu Shen, no Chu Ling, no all this that happened today… he didn't know who to tell the past truth to, and perhaps it would be buried in the great cold winds and snows of the cemetery.

"The ruler in your hand is an evil object and also a holy artifact of light. It depends on who uses it and what their intentions are." Gu Changzhi said slowly, "Just like… this Pure Land under your feet, it can save people, and it can also kill people."

Gu Shen lowered his head and looked at the Ruler of Truth.

After learning about the news of Pluto's loss of control, he was actually a little palpitation, and even thought for a moment, it would be better to bury this ruler deeply.

Even a Divine Throne of Great Accomplishment cannot resist falling.

Now, carrying it on himself, would he be subject to losing control?

However, this thought was instantly cleared from Gu Shen's mind.

The path of transcendence seemed to be fighting with the heavens, fighting with the earth, fighting with people.

But the biggest enemy was not these at all!

But himself.

Do not seek outward, but seek inward.

If he was afraid and dared not hold the ruler, how could he be worthy of the name "Pluto"?

Grandpa Gu Qilin was right, the so-called ominousness, as long as you are strong enough, you can suppress it all!

The expression in Gu Shen's eyes flashed and changed, and Gu Changzhi saw it.

He showed a satisfied smile.

"I don't know why… I just believe that you will not be swallowed by the spirit of this ruler."

Gu Changzhi said with emotion, "Just take it as a word from a Divine Throne. Our words are usually very accurate."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and smiled, "Thank you for the kind words."

"There is one thing… I need your help with."

Gu Changzhi's expression softened, "Before I went to sleep, I wrote a few letters and buried them under the inner mausoleum of Qingzhong Cemetery. After I leave, I hope you can help me take the letters out."

Over the years, in order to maintain the overall situation, he had not contacted anyone outside.

Many people were paying attention to East Continent.

"The first letter is for Grandpa." Gu Changzhi said softly with some guilt in his eyes, "He took care of me the most in the Gu family, but he never knew my news. I don't want him to be kept in the dark, but I have to hide the truth from him. I hope you can personally deliver this letter to him."

Gu Shen nodded seriously.

"The second letter is written to my teacher who is far away in West Continent."

Gu Changzhi looked at Gu Shen and said, "Actually, you have already had indirect contact with him in the Great Capital."

The Light Divine Throne…

Gu Shen asked, "Do I need to personally send this letter to West Continent?"

"I want you to personally send this letter to West Continent, but not now."

Gu Changzhi shook his head and said, "There are two reasons. One is that the news that you have completed the adaptation with the Pluto Fire Seed cannot be made public to the Five Continents yet… The second reason is a bit difficult to say."

He sighed slightly and said, "When it comes to the most trusted Divine Throne in the Five Continents, I will definitely choose my teacher. He is upright, magnanimous, and worthy of the name 'Light,' but with your identity, if you go to Light City, he will definitely see through your secret. Because of the characteristics of the Fire Seed, he has always held an aversion to the existence of Pluto. I am worried that if you go to Light City, it will cause huge trouble."

Light and darkness are two completely opposite forces.

The Pluto Fire Seed suppressed under the Colossus Ruins was indeed full of cold and sinister power.

The Light Divine Throne naturally hates Pluto.

These two Fire Seeds cannot be merged together.

Gu Shen was thoughtful.

Now, East Continent was able to stay away from the disputes, largely because of that unknown "Pluto"!

This time, the Wine Divine Throne was killed, and the news that Pluto was still alive will surely spread… Obviously, all the major forces in the Five Continents would give East Continent three points of respect.

As long as Gu Shen does not reveal his secret.

Then… even the top Divine Thrones cannot see through the life and death of Pluto.

However.

The Light Divine Throne was a special existence because of its diametrically opposed characteristics, so he had a strong sense of the Pluto's aura… Gu Changzhi did not dare to let Gu Shen go to Light City to take this risk.

"Then this letter…"

Gu Shen asked with a frown.

"Wait until you are at least the tenth level of the Abyss Sea, or merge with the Fire Seed more closely before you go."

Gu Changzhi said seriously, "If you start to merge with the Pluto Fire Seed, then even the teacher can't change anything, otherwise… he may use some special means to separate you and the Fire Seed."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"Separate?"

Gu Changzhi gently took a falling leaf and crushed it with two fingers.

Gu Shen felt a chill run down his spine.

So… this was separation!

Indeed, the Light Divine Throne cannot kill a Great Accomplishment Pluto, so killing the host and separating it from the Fire Seed before it merges… was indeed the best way!

"Does this letter… have to be delivered by me?" Gu Shen said with a wry smile, "I have a friend who is still an apostle of the Light Divine Throne. It would be more appropriate to send this letter, and I think he would like it too."

"The matter of delivering the letter… must be done by you."

Gu Changzhi smiled.

He said softly, "The content of this letter is mainly about persuasion. Before going to sleep, I hesitated for a long time before writing this letter. This letter contains very important information, which may be able to win the teacher's full support for East Continent…"

Gu Shen realized the importance of this letter.

If he could win the support of the Light Divine Throne, it would be equivalent to winning the support of the entire West Continent!

"It's just… the ideas of each era are not the same, and it's always difficult to change a person."

Gu Changzhi said with a gentle look, "This letter can probably only be delivered by 'Pluto' to achieve the effect of persuasion. If possible, please try to cultivate to your strongest moment before going to deliver the letter."

A letter with no time limit.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, no longer so nervous.

If this was the case, it was not an urgent task, and he was very happy to deliver the letter… that might be after he merged with the Fire Seed.

"Wait a minute, does this mean I can't set foot in West Continent?"

Gu Shen asked quickly.

"Don't worry, although the teacher is discerning, he is not so sharp-eyed." Gu Changzhi said, "Now your strength is weak, and you are only stained with a little Pluto aura. After leaving the cemetery, even if you meet other Divine Thrones, they should only guess in the direction of 'Apostle.' If you want to go to West Continent, you can go, as long as you don't meet the teacher, nothing will happen."

After listening to Gu Shen, he secretly decided to avoid contact with West Continent as much as possible from today onwards.

As for Light City.

He would definitely not go there unless it was absolutely necessary.

"The last letter, I also wrote to an old friend. The destination is North Continent, Central City, the Lin family. You still need to deliver this letter personally."

North Continent… Central City… The Lin family?

Gu Shen vaguely guessed the recipient of this letter and murmured, "Is this written to that Majesty?"

This time, it was Gu Changzhi who was stunned.

"Majesty…"

He gently read these two ancient and unfamiliar words, couldn't help shaking his head, and said with emotion and a smile, "I've always called her the Lin family's little girl."

In a blink, it had been twenty years.

Gu Changzhi restrained his smile and said seriously, "This letter is for the current Empress of North Continent. After you send it out, you will immediately get her help, at least… the entire North Continent will treat you as a distinguished guest, and your status can be equal to that of a Grand Duke."

Gu Shen's expression was complicated when he heard this.

"Status… equal to that of a Grand Duke?"

How many Grand Dukes were there in North Continent now?!

Gu Changzhi smiled and said, "Just accept it with peace of mind. This is a letter I wrote personally… What is a mere Grand Duke?"
