Chapter 236 Susu Wood

Rolling snow tide, impacting the cemetery!

Gu Shen, standing against the golden gate, spread his arms wide, feeling an immense, boundless pressure surging towards him!

Even Song Ci, as the "Apostle of Light," couldn't resist this terrifying crushing force with all her might. Gu Shen's array patterns were also difficult to withstand. Thousands of strands of flowing light surged, constantly condensing and shattering before him... Qingzhong Cemetery's sturdy defensive array was slowly breached under the terrifying explosive power of the Pluto Fire Seed.

"...Senior Bai!"

Gu Shen shouted as loud as he could, wanting to borrow some strength.

In fact, at this moment, the only force that could truly contend against the snow tide was Bai Shu's [Reverse Flow].

For every three points the snow tide advanced, the [Reverse Flow] domain would tear it apart and push it back one point. This kind of game greatly reduced its speed.

However.

Just as the final snow tide was about to arrive, Bai Shu suddenly withdrew his [Reverse Flow].

"...!?"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

The snow tide, unbearable to ordinary people, crashed down on him in an instant.

Countless snowflakes engulfed him.

Then, hundreds of thousands of tons of snow tide directly collided with the golden gate, shattering the cemetery gate. A strange thing happened: this mighty and majestic mental wave of the Pluto Fire Seed could rampage across Qingzhong's snowfield, even shattering the golden gate, but it couldn't break through the cemetery... The tumbling snow crashed against the cemetery's invisible mental barrier, rebounding and piling up higher and higher.

In a strand of invisible time-distorted domain.

Bai Shu silently watched all of this.

He resided within the perfected [Reverse Flow] domain, layer upon layer of reversing power enveloping him. This cemetery was completely ignited by the mental power of the Pluto Fire Seed, and the snow tide brought almost nothing but chaos and destruction.

Except for where he stood.

This was the only clear and pure place.

[Reverse Flow] swept away every snowflake, maintaining a tiny area of ​​immaculate purity.

Bai Shu walked through the snow tide, the avalanche retreating wherever he passed...

Finally, he came to a "unconscious" young man.

As he expected.

A faint, dim light emanated from between Gu Shen's eyebrows.

Hit by the mental power of the Pluto Fire Seed, Gu Shen was unharmed.

……

……

"Where... is this?"

Gu Shen rubbed his forehead.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, his last memory being the moment the snow tide engulfed him.

Was he... dead?

However, there was no pain.

The power of the Pluto Fire Seed, truly crashing into his spiritual sea, did not cause substantial damage...

"Lord God!"

A familiar voice sounded not far away.

Gu Shen suddenly woke up, and he quickly looked around, only to find that he was actually in the "Four Seasons Wilderness," and not far from him, across a sky screen, was Tie Wu's ghostly figure floating above the wilderness.

Tie Wu looked at Gu Shen's location with concern.

Across the sky screen, he could only see a vague outline.

Tie Wu had already guessed.

The real world at this moment was probably very unstable.

Lord God was likely engaged in a divine battle with the Dionysus Throne... because he vaguely felt waves of vast divine power sweeping by. Tie Wu could not truly see Gu Shen's battle outside, he could only vaguely sense a faint trace of transcendent aura.

Gu Lu Shen, Xu Yan... all those involved in the cemetery plan had borrowed the divine power of the Dionysus Throne.

And this divine power was the power he was most familiar with!

So, he waited anxiously...

If the two were to decide the outcome today, then he hoped that Lord Gu would win completely!

At this moment, seeing Gu Shen's spirit, Tie Wu was extremely excited.

"Lord God... did you see the changes in this world, so you chose to descend?"

"...Changes?"

Gu Shen rubbed his brow.

He gradually woke up.

"It's the seed... the seed you planted with your own hands has finally sprouted!"

Tie Wu opened his mouth with an excited expression.

Gu Shen spread out his spiritual power, covering the entire Four Seasons Wilderness!

He saw it...

In the deep pit that had been dug, after a year of wind, sun, and rain, the "seed" was finally no longer in a state of silence.

At the center of the wilderness.

The soil was loose, and a small sprout had really grown out.

"When... did this happen?"

"Just now! Just now!"

Tie Wu had been waiting here, he sincerely said: "I sensed the arrival of your powerful spiritual wave, and then, this seed... sprouted!"

"..."

Gu Shen fell into silence.

Even he did not expect that this seed would sprout at this moment.

And what Tie Wu said made him a little puzzled.

His own mental fluctuations descended, and then the seed descended?

Wait a moment...

The mental fluctuations that Tie Wu sensed just now should have come from the "Pluto Fire Seed."

Gu Shen walked down from the Iron Throne, casually brushed away the sky screen, and under the illumination of endless flowing wind and holy light, he slowly walked towards the place where the seed sprouted.

The holy light shone everywhere.

Tie Wu knelt down on one knee piously, without raising his head.

At Gu Shen's brow, a wisp of fire ignited by itself with a "chi" sound.

He walked forward, and the "seed" that had been silent for a year once again resonated with the blazing fire. It was not just sprouting... the transcendent source matter of the entire Four Seasons Wilderness, the accumulation of Gu Shen's year of hard cultivation in the Divine Shrine Mountain, were all crazily pouring into the place where the seed was.

So, it began to grow at a rapid speed!

Gu Shen took the first step.

The seed sprout poked out its tip.

He continued to walk forward, the winds above the wilderness began to howl and sing softly, branching, sprouting leaves, the roots splitting into phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside. The growth process that ordinary trees would take years or decades to form was greatly accelerated at this moment... Trees were like icebergs, the roots buried under the soil drawing vast amounts of energy.

As long as it was sufficient, it could grow tall and majestic.

It's just that no tree had ever been able to accumulate so much and burst forth like the seed at this moment!

One breath was like a year!

Gu Shen's pace was not slow.

And when he walked to the place where the "seed" was--

The small seed, hidden in the deep pit, had turned into a lush green giant tree as thick as several people could hug!

The long leaves rolled, and between the leaves, there was a faint rustling sound like bells.

Most importantly... the roots of this giant tree were entrenched and coiled in the depths of the Four Seasons Wilderness, extremely strong and with a rich foundation!

Gu Shen was a little dazed.

He seemed to have seen this scene before.

Inside the stone gate of the Inner Mausoleum, the tomb keeper, Grandmaster Chino, was sitting on the Four Seasons Wilderness.

She was sitting under the trunk of an ancient tree.

It's just... that ancient tree was not as young and strong as the one in front of him at this moment.

Gu Shen stretched out his hand and gently touched the giant tree, murmuring.

"This is..."

The moment he touched it.

He felt warmth, and familiar heat.

It was a "spring"-like feeling, descending on this wilderness... a seed, having absorbed all the transcendent source matter he had worked so hard to absorb over the past year, had returned a large amount of vitality to this pure land world.

Gu Shen vaguely felt... that before long, other trees, flowers, and plants would grow in this barren wilderness, and even other living beings could be bred!

At this moment, a deep, firm voice sounded behind him.

"This is 'Susu Wood'."

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment.

Even though he had only met the owner of this voice once.

He still recognized it immediately.

This was... Gu Changzhi's voice.

……

……

Gu Shen followed the voice and looked back.

The Four Seasons Wilderness in front of him seemed to have turned into the appearance of the Qingzhong Cemetery mountain gate again.

Grass clippings flew everywhere.

Tie Wu was nowhere to be seen.

At the end of the wilderness, there stood a figure radiating golden light, like the sun.

The moment he touched the giant tree.

He... should have touched the entrance to some kind of wonderful spiritual realm.

He saw the figure that countless people had been looking forward to for twenty years.

That figure, like the sun.

This time, Gu Shen saw the man's face clearly... the man who was worshiped, admired, expected, and waited for by countless people in Nagano was not quite the same as the one recorded in the photo.

Gu Changzhi smiled very gently, without exuding a fierce aura.

But if you looked closely, you would find that his eyebrows and eyes exuded extremely strong perseverance.

Just by looking at him.

Anyone would firmly believe... that nothing in this world could defeat him.

No wonder so many people firmly believed that Gu Changzhi was still alive.

How could a person like him die silently?

If he hadn't shown up for a long time.

It must be because... he had fallen asleep and hadn't woken up yet.

"Gu Shen, we finally meet again."

Gu Changzhi came to Gu Shen's side, smiled softly, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, one big and one small, appreciating this huge ancient tree up close.

Gu Shen had an unreal feeling.

Since their farewell in the capital.

He had always wanted to meet Mr. Gu Changzhi... but only after truly stepping into Qingzhong did he realize how difficult it was to realize this wish.

If Gu Changzhi was really well.

How dare the Dionysus Throne step into the cemetery?!

"I am very gratified that the Four Seasons Wilderness I gave you has finally ushered in a transformation today." Gu Changzhi said softly: "Perhaps there really is such a thing as fate, arranging for us to meet at this moment."

Gu Shen's Four Seasons Wilderness was given by Gu Changzhi.

And this seed was also accidentally discovered when he comprehended the "Breath of Spring" left by Gu Changzhi.

This meeting, rather than a coincidence, was destined.

It was Gu Changzhi's "thoughts" and Gu Shen's "actions" that led to all of this.

"Mr. Gu Changzhi, the situation in Qingzhong Cemetery... is very bad."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said anxiously: "Are you still asleep?"

"..."

Gu Changzhi lowered his eyes slightly.

And silence was the best answer.

In fact, Gu Shen had already guessed the answer.

This meeting was still a meeting of spiritual power.

This also meant that... Gu Changzhi's body was likely still asleep.

However, after the Dionysus Throne stepped into the cemetery, there was no movement, which meant that... Gu Changzhi had a way to restrain him.

"Actually, I roughly know what happened in the cemetery."

Gu Changzhi said softly: "The 'Great Cold Disaster Realm' of the Inner Mausoleum has been released, which means that a god-level opponent has stepped into the cemetery. The only one who would do this is Di Jiu."

Di Jiu... To Gu Shen, this was an unfamiliar name.

He realized that this was the name of the Dionysus Throne!

Throughout the entire Five Continents, there were only a handful of people who dared to call the Dionysus Throne by his name, and the man in front of him was one of them.

"He should be frozen."

Gu Changzhi smiled slowly: "But... the Great Cold Disaster Realm can't trap him for too long. Once the power of the Fighting Fire Seed is used to maintain the mental suppression of the Inner Mausoleum, then the third Fire Seed of the Colossus Ruins will take the opportunity to escape, and the mental wave that bursts out will engulf an extremely large amount of transcendent source matter, sweeping across the entire cemetery. So... there will be this meeting between you and me."

Gu Shen hadn't realized the true meaning of this sentence yet.

He quickly said: "Mr. Gu Changzhi, the cemetery needs you... Grandmaster Chino is waiting for you, and there are many others, Grandpa Gu Qilin, Luo Yu, Gu Nanfeng, the Five Great Families, the Three Great Institutes, tens of millions of people are waiting for you to recover!"

"Yes..."

Gu Changzhi's voice was a little low.

He smiled and said: "I know, there are many people outside waiting for me to wake up."

A long pause.

He looked at the Susu Wood in front of him and said softly: "It's just..."

"I have passed away."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Shen was stunned.

I have passed away.

What... does this mean?

Gu Changzhi looked at Gu Shen seriously, his eyes were still gentle and powerful, but the information conveyed in his eyes was a bit cruel.

I have passed away, it means exactly what it says.

The Gu Changzhi that tens of millions of people were waiting for was not asleep.

But... dead.

Gu Shen heard a very soft wind, and the Susu Wood vibrated with crisp bell sounds.

A great sadness welled up in his heart for no reason.

Gu Changzhi carried his hands on his back, with a smile still on his face, and said: "In this world, there is no banquet that does not end. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the same for mortals, and the God Throne... is no exception."

"It's just... there is still an unfinished divine battle in the cemetery..."

Gu Shen's voice became a little difficult.

Without Gu Changzhi.

He couldn't imagine how to win this battle.

"Outside the cemetery, there are tens of millions of people waiting for the 'new god'."

Gu Changzhi stretched out a hand and gently placed it on Gu Shen's shoulder, and smiled: "It's just a mere Dionysus Throne... How can Nagano lose this divine battle?"

"New god..."

Gu Shen raised his head blankly, looking at this war god who radiated the warmth and brilliance of the sun.

In Gu Changzhi's pupils, he saw himself at this moment.

A strange young face with a sinister aura.

Gu Shen reached out to touch his brow, and in the position of his brow, a faint dark black radiance emanated. That was the spiritual radiance of the blazing fire, and it was also the burning light that cut through billions of souls in the Cage of the Nether Ghost.

The Ruler of Truth, twined into mist, and unknowingly covered the original Judicator's robe, condensing into a brand new black robe, exuding a dark and nether aura.

"It's been so long, haven't you guessed it yet?"

Gu Changzhi asked with a smile: "Pluto, Gu Shen."
