Chapter 1426 God Scroll

Gu Shen stepped on his iron sword, soaring through the air above the Sangzhou Abyss.

This outer hunt…the four continents needed to resolve the problem of large-scale gatherings of beast spirits.

"Mr. Qi."

Gu Shen contacted Qi Mo through his Mind Sea. The latter was conducting research in his Scarlet Wave residence in District S12. The nameless infant in the bamboo basket was currently residing there.

That nameless infant, due to the loss of its "soul," wouldn't have much reaction to anything done to it.

Because of the anomaly that occurred with Tan Yao last time, it couldn't be determined whether it was triggered by Gu Xiaoman or by this child…

So Qi Mo called him the "Divine Infant."

"Little Gu, I've been observing the 'Divine Infant,' and his mental sea has remained without fluctuation."

Qi Mo said calmly, "Are there any signs of beast tide gatherings on your side?"

"Not yet."

Gu Shen glanced at the dense forest beneath him. The cultists of the Storm Church were responsible for clearing the path… The entire morning had passed without encountering any major dangers. Those beast spirits that hadn't awakened their full intelligence posed no threat when acting alone. Any entry-level transcendent, armed with a strong-logic weapon, could win in a one-on-one fight.

Not to mention the large number of people involved in this outer hunt.

With Yuan Shuocheng risking his life for him, he didn't need to consider the biggest troubles. Gu Shen directed the Eastern Continent transcendents and neutrals to stand further back… If any problems arose, he would let this archbishop take the brunt of it first.

Chen Li, along with Adam, was collecting beast spirit information and blood samples for subsequent research.

The team was stable, and the progress was smooth.

"I'll go take a look outside."

Gu Shen transmitted his voice to Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu was currently leading Gu Xiaoman through the forest, searching for the next "hunting" target of comparable strength.

"Okay, go ahead."

…

…

Gu Shen lowered his sword-riding altitude, weaving through the dense jungle.

A circle of cold light still lingered around him, that was the iron filings controlled by the [Iron Throne], subtly spreading, countless blades circled around, forming a wide ring.

He chose a less-traveled path with almost no transcendents.

He encountered a few beast spirits with newly awakened intelligence along the way.

He flicked his fingers, activating blade rays to shatter them—

Then he took the "treasures" from these beast spirits. For the other transcendents on the outer hunt, the skin, fur, and internal organs of these beast spirits were valuable materials, some could be used to create sealed items, and others could be used for research.

But for Gu Shen, the precious things on these beast spirits were "Source Quality" and "souls."

"The volcanic ash spewed out by [Tan Yao] has been increasing these days."

Chu Ling's voice echoed in his Mind Sea.

"The visibility of the [Heavenly Eye] has begun to plummet. [Deep Sea] can no longer capture the scenery in this forest."

She subconsciously distinguished herself from [Deep Sea].

"This is a good thing."

Gu Shen sat cross-legged on his iron sword, hovering under a canopy of green shade. He looked at the accumulated corpses of beast spirits in front of him.

[Tan Yao]'s volcanic ash could shield Deep Sea's perception… This was actually not bad news. After all, what he wanted to do in the Sangzhou Abyss wasn't exactly "above board." Without surveillance, he could let go even more.

These gigantic beast spirits, after transcending, hadn't gained much spiritual strength, but their bodies had increased dozens of times in size. Only five or six corpses stacked up like a small mountain.

"Chi."

Scorching Fire swept out. Gu Shen still maintained his habit of attending to every detail, tapping out Scorching Fire with his fingers, then setting up the [Clear Tomb Array]. Ancient text symbols floated in the air, and the aura of transcendent Source Quality was sealed in the narrow area of the deep forest.

Even without volcanic ash, it didn't matter.

He had plenty of means to "shield" the [Deep Sea]'s senses.

To be safe, Gu Shen still made complete preparations—what he had to do next was actually very simple, that was to extract the Source Quality possessed by these beast spirits after awakening, and awaken them in the Pure Land!

Gu Shen raised his palm, and a raging flame burned in his palm.

With a wave of his hand, the firelight swept out!

These beast spirits killed by the [Iron Throne]'s blade rays burned in the raging tide, their flesh turned into dust, as if they had been thrown into a copper furnace to be roasted… Finally, an essence the size of a fingernail was extracted.

"The amount of Source Quality is too small."

Gu Shen looked down at the extracted Source Quality and murmured softly, "It's probably only on the scale of an entry-level transcendent… Is it because the structure of beast spirits is different from humans, so they absorb very little Source Quality?"

These beast spirits, although they had intelligence, were still very stupid.

They couldn't compare to humans.

Their mental seas were even weaker.

"Because the mental sea is small in scale, the amount of Source Quality that can be absorbed is also small…"

Gu Shen clenched his palm, absorbing this bit of Source Quality. He originally wanted to hunt and kill in the Sangzhou Abyss to absorb Source Quality, but now it seemed that the gains from doing so were too small.

Large-scale hunting would inevitably attract attention.

Even though he had the best shielding methods, he couldn't shield the huge scale of the commotion.

"The individual Source Quality of these beast spirits is very small, but little things add up…" Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, "If a beast tide is stirred up, then there will be enough Source Quality."

"That's right, killing a few, dozens… the Source Quality produced is negligible." Chu Ling said, "But if you can absorb the Source Quality brought by an entire beast tide, the amount will be very considerable."

"I really want to go to the [Tan Yao] volcano to see."

Gu Shen joked with a smile, "So many beast spirits rushed into the volcano, there should be a lot of Source Quality there, right?"

Of course, this was just a joke.

Transcendent Source Quality would return to the void after the host died—

This was an iron rule.

Those beast spirits that rushed into the interior of the [Tan Yao] volcano should have died long ago, and the Source Quality contained in their bodies had also dissipated and returned to the void. Even if he went there, he would probably see nothing.

Gu Shen also tried to use the Pluto Authority to make these beast spirits stand up in the "Pure Land."

However, the effect was not as good as imagined.

These low-level beings were different from low-level transcendents.

After they stood up, they didn't preserve anything.

Even the giantized features were not retained… Perhaps it was because the level of the Pure Land was not high enough. All the "transcendents" who entered here would be reduced by one level.

But if the transcendent beast spirits returned to the Pure Land, even the basic transcendent combat power would dissipate… Then this level of combat power, no matter how much the quantity stacked up, would be meaningless.

The war between transcendents must be ended with transcendent power.

Gu Shen originally wanted to collect the consciousness of "beast spirits" in the Sangzhou Abyss and form a new legion in the Pure Land… The so-called many ants biting an elephant to death, if he could summon a sufficient number of "beast tides," then the power of the Pure Land would be greatly enhanced!

At this moment, he lost interest in summoning.

He waved his hand to let these beast spirits dissipate.

"Maybe my 'Pure Land' level is not high enough, my breathing technique needs to be advanced…"

Gu Shen summarized in his heart. He didn't think that the Pure Land that the former Pluto desperately pursued only had this effect. After the resurrection of the dead, the strength declined, which was acceptable, but even the transcendent characteristics disappeared…

Gu Shen thought it was still his problem.

After doing all this, he stood up.

"Next, I may not be able to provide you with accurate 'navigation'."

"You need to pay attention to [Tide]."

Chu Ling said, "Saint Gadie has released the authority of the Storm God Seat, and the Southern Continent Holy City is 'listening' to the entire Sangzhou Abyss."

"No matter how powerful the Storm Authority is, the one who holds it is only a fourth-level. No matter how it covers the Sangzhou Abyss, it can't listen to heartbeats."

Gu Shen smiled faintly and said, "After leaving the city, I will use spiritual telepathy for any words with some 'information'."

The negotiation with Yuan Shuocheng and the teachings to Gu Xiaoman just now.

Gu Shen used Scorching Fire to transmit messages, never giving [Tide] a chance to eavesdrop.

"Next, I want to go to the Eastern Abyss… Can you help me lock down the approximate location of 'Suzaku'?"

…

…

"At this rate, how long will we have to kill?"

Eastern Abyss, at the end of the S-level barrier [Void Domain].

Xuan Gui, wearing a black priest's robe, looked gloomy. He had lost his patience. The Tower of Origin and the Storm Church were jointly hunting down beast spirits… Only after the A-level alert was lifted last time, no large-scale beast tide had appeared again.

Those beast spirits that had gathered together for some reason suddenly dispersed and hid extremely secretly.

The hunting efficiency was very slow.

Most importantly—

Red Dragon arranged for him to guard the Eastern Abyss position and not leave the [Void Domain] barrier.

The four Divine Envoys were mentally linked through the [Cloud Mirror] Authority.

This was the arrangement that Mr. Tianshui had made before they set off… The Tower of Origin had long anticipated that the Storm Church would take out [Tide].

At this moment, Xuan Gui complained and transmitted the message, "You hunt beast spirits, you have merits, you have rewards, and I can only guard [Void Domain], this is not fair… Red Dragon, why don't you let me switch with Yun Hu?"

"Guarding [Void Domain] also has merits." Red Dragon said calmly, "This is Mr. Tianshui's arrangement."

"Just stay here obediently." Yun Hu laughed, "You don't want to do the job of defending the fortified position, who else will do it?"

Xuan Gui looked depressed.

"Where is the birdman?"

He suddenly realized that Suzaku's voice hadn't been heard from the Cloud Mirror for a long time.

"He wants to find the 'Child of the Divine Scroll'."

Red Dragon said indifferently, "This hunting, [Cloud Mirror] has assigned him a temporary mission… No need to care about him, we just need to do our own thing."

While the three Divine Envoys were talking, a blood-red figure was flying along the edge of the Eastern Abyss at a very fast speed.

Suzaku opened up the [Lihuo] Domain and soared in the high sky covered with volcanic ash. His figure was once hidden in the dim clouds. Due to the surveillance of the [Tide] Authority, he had to pass through the same level of God's Authority to escape the eyes of the Storm Church.

[Cloud Mirror] spread out wisps of mist, covering him.

The direction he was flying was actually the Northern Abyss.

"Mr. Yan performed a second divination on the 'Child of the Divine Scroll'…"

In the [Lihuo] Domain, Suzaku's eyes were gloomy.

He recalled the instructions given to him by Mr. Tianshui.

The second divination result was very vague…

Mr. Yan used divination, but he didn't see any clear and useful information. He only saw countless bright and dazzling light in the prediction!

This divination result was indeed very vague, but it was also very clear!

The only thing that could affect "divination" was the power of Fire Seed!

After the Child of the Divine Scroll was taken away, Mr. Yan's divination failed… There was only one possibility, the mastermind who took away the Child of the Divine Scroll borrowed the power of Fire Seed to interfere with the divination.

And countless bright and dazzling light… The direction of this prophecy was very clear.

"City of Light… City of Light!"

Suzaku took a deep breath. Now, in his heart, Su Ye's detestability was almost comparable to Gu Shen.

Taking advantage of the Great Hunt, he prepared to cross the border and go to the territory of the Western Continent to investigate the riot that occurred in District E0 that night, and find the "undercover agents" buried by the City of Light in the bottom of the Sangzhou Abyss!

However, the south of the Tower of Origin was the Eastern Continent.

This mission was very important, and Suzaku didn't want to risk crossing the border of the Southern Abyss… So he chose to "go north." Although the guys in Central City were allies with the Eastern Continent, he had no direct conflict with them.

With the previous call with Lu Zhe.

His northward journey wouldn't be too troublesome.

Suzaku drove [Lihuo] over the Northern Abyss. This trip was indeed smooth. The legion warriors of the Northern Abyss did not stop him additionally, but he didn't know that there was still a figure following behind his ass.

…

…

"Suzaku went in this direction."

In the Pure Land, a moving coordinate was constantly updated.

Mu Wanqiu passed the location of Suzaku through [Nether Fire], and Chu Ling identified and corrected it through [Heavenly Eye], and then quickly translated it into a visual "map" marker.

The Northern Abyss indeed did not stop Suzaku—

There was no need.

In fact, even if Suzaku walked from the Southern Abyss, he would not encounter any resistance, because his ultimate goal was to go to the Western Abyss where the City of Light was located.

If you can watch the fire from the other side of the river, who would cause trouble?

Gu Shen stepped on his iron sword, neither fast nor slow, following behind Suzaku.

He hid his spirit, kept a safe distance, followed the coordinates, and was not in a hurry at all.

Since Suzaku wanted to find Su Ye's trouble, then he only needed to follow behind and watch… The [Ghost Mask Veil] that could change his face and restrain his aura had been thrown to Gu Xiaoman.

Gu Shen couldn't take action as the [Mysterious Man] now.

But it didn't matter.

Originally, he didn't intend to act like in District E0 this time.

In fact, Gu Shen was also very curious, Suzaku was going to the Western Abyss alone, how was he going to find the "Child of the Divine Scroll"?

At this time, it was the Great Hunt. Due to the archbishop dispatched by the Holy City, the strength of the four continents was maintained in equilibrium… Most of the elite forces were hunting beast spirits in the outer ring!

Could this guy be preparing to take advantage of the situation?

Soon, Suzaku's coordinates stopped moving.

He came to the intersection of the Northern Abyss and the Western Abyss. Two groups of people from Central City and City of Light were stationed here, not interfering with each other… After all, many years ago, they were close allies. Now that the situation had changed, many high-level transcendents in the two cities were still old friends. If there were no orders from above, they would be very willing to maintain the superficial "peace."

Western Abyss, District W19.

This was a small town, adjacent to the Northern Abyss.

The second batch of supplies from the four continents was on the way and had not yet arrived.

So for the fourth-level powerhouse, the walls of District W19 were as fragile as paper. This place had no great garrison value. If a beast tide broke out, then the city wall would definitely be destroyed.

Therefore, the City of Light only dispatched a high-level Holy Arbiter to station here, using mental soul power to wash the area on a large scale. Now most of the people in this small city had listened to the gospel guidance of "Holy Light."

At this moment.

District W19 was very quiet. Many survivors and aborigines put on the white robes of the Church of Light.

They had new beliefs.

The rainy days that lasted for several days were gone, and the cold brought by the Ice Sea also dissipated.

Due to the revival of [Tan Yao], the entire sky was gray.

In front of the main square of the city, these people put their hands together, they murmured with their eyes closed, they prayed sincerely.

They envisioned the "sun" in their hearts.

And the next moment.

The sun really came—

A scarlet firebird spread its wings from the high sky shrouded in haze.

[Lihuo] hung high.

A young man wearing a scarlet priest's robe looked down on all living beings from a high position.

He stretched out his palm.

Clenched his fist.

The firebird chirped loudly.

The red sea fell.
