【Apostle】 cannot be obtained through simple hypnosis.

Take Light City as an example.

The Light Throne searches for the undying in the five continents and four lands to become his 【Apostles】. What he does... is to guide the chosen one step by step in the dream, allowing them to first feel the power of the Fire Seed.

Then, step by step, they enter the Book Tower and finally, from the bottom of their hearts, worship and pray to become 【Apostles】—

If it were just simple hypnosis, with the power of a god, choosing 【Apostles】 wouldn't be troublesome at all.

Moreover, the Throne also needs to expend its own "Fire Seed Power" in this process.

"Your 'Nether Fire' is already scarce."

Bai Shu reminded, "This matter... make your own decision."

……

……

The Bai Shu Throne agreed to help, but his condition was... that he would not leave the mausoleum, and Mu Wanqiu would not enter the mausoleum.

This condition seemed impossible to fulfill.

But now, the souls of Mu Wanqiu, Mu Qingyang, and a group of law enforcers are all in the array box. As long as the "array box" is brought into the mausoleum, this condition will be met!

After thanking him, Gu Shen left the Golden Divine Realm.

He stood on the mausoleum mountain, looked at the clouds outside Qingzhong, and took a deep breath.

"I'm back."

In the spiritual sea, Chu Ling's voice sounded, she said softly: "You are about to leave the mausoleum, are you going to retrieve the 'array box' now?"

Before his death, Jing Shanyan told Gu Shen the location of the array box.

The old man said that he had placed the array box in a "very interesting" location.

"Yes. Please help me shield the sensing of the 'Deep Sea'."

Gu Shen said calmly: "We're going to the tundra again."

Jing Shanyan had already considered his ending when he took away that group of Ancient Text Society suspects.

He wanted to ensure the absolute safety of the "array box."

There is no truly safe place in this world... except for the desolate tundra.

Dig a hole there and bury something, and it won't be discovered for many years.

All year round, heavy snow accumulates to a depth of hundreds of meters.

Gu Shen set off alone, without saying hello to anyone, and went to the tundra again.

He couldn't let anyone know the secret of the array box.

……

……

Several days later.

Gu Shen arrived at the location Jing Shanyan had described.

He stood on the top of a desolate snow mountain, located in the far east of the tundra. The mountains were continuous, with high and low undulations, and sparsely populated. Because it was too dilapidated and had many inferior mountains, none of the five great families chose to develop it.

The nearest small city is called "Inta," which is the Bai family's transcendent base.

However, Inta is still more than a hundred miles away from here.

Too desolate.

Even on the map, there is no "exact name" for this snow area. In the vast map of the tundra, this area is directly named "No Man's Land" in gray.

This is a real no man's land.

Even the 【Deep Sea】 has not deployed here.

Gu Shen stood on the top of the snow mountain, looking at the flying snow further east of East Continent. He probably understood what Jing Shanyan meant by "interesting"... For mortals, the tundra is a wild land that they cannot reach the end of in their lifetime.

Without transcendent abilities, travelers would find it difficult to cross the layers of blizzards and reach this "no man's land."

This area is surrounded by mountains, and the source material is thin.

Even heretics like the "Evening Bell Church" would not choose to take root in such a place... but even in such a desolate land that transcendents despise, there are still outstanding features.

Standing on the top of this snow mountain.

Gu Shen saw the sky and mist further away. East Continent is surrounded by the sea, and this no man's land is the farthest end of the land. Of course, the five great families have deployed 【Sky Eyes】 along the coast of the land, but this "no man's land" can be regarded as a "small point" that was deliberately skipped and neglected.

"So here, you can see the 【Old World】..."

Chu Ling said movingly: "This is a scene I have never seen before."

【Deep Sea】 captures billions of corners of this world, but there are always places that are overlooked.

"The more desolate the place, the more amazing the scenery..."

Gu Shen retracted his gaze and murmured: "When Senior Jing buried the 'array box' here, he must have thought about the scene of meeting me in the future... He smiled very happily at that time."

If he could meet 【Key】 in the future and hand over the "array box."

The successors will also be able to see this scene.

"In the 【Deep Sea】 database records, the reason why Jing Shanyan was able to serve as the first Chief Inquisitor of the prison was because he was upright, unyielding, and had an iron and cold face, and never misjudged."

Chu Ling said: "And after he was押押押 into 【Snow Cage】, his life file was destroyed, and no one knows... what kind of person this 'Chief Inquisitor' was in real life."

【Deep Sea】 erased his file, but it couldn't erase the true humanity in his heart.

"Senior Jing..."

Gu Shen squatted down gently, slowly brushing away the snow on the top of the mountain with his palm, recalling the old man in the depths of the frozen lake.

He murmured: "Among the stars in the sky, there must be one for you... right?"

The accumulated snow was swept away by Gu Shen bit by bit.

He didn't use Zhi Huo.

Before long, his mental power sensed something unusual.

Hidden in the snow layer of this snow mountain was a partition made of "strong logic material," and after sweeping away the accumulated snow, Gu Shen saw a square top cover built of red silver.

"There is another world inside."

As a precaution, Gu Shen first arranged an array pattern, and then lifted the top cover... This was the secret base built by Jing Shanyan. Perhaps because it was so well sealed, twenty years had passed, and there was no dust accumulated here.

The clock hanging on the wall of the base had stopped, and even the hands were gone.

Time seemed to freeze here... everything was as new as before.

"This was built before the 【Deep Sea】 issued the wanted order."

Gu Shen looked around. The base was not large, only about a hundred square meters, and very simple. "Back then, it shouldn't have been just Jing Shanyan who came here, there were other members..."

There was an alloy bookshelf piled with dense files.

Gu Shen approached to examine it. The bookshelf was filled with documents about "ancient text research."

Perhaps at that time, 【Deep Sea】 technology had not yet fully connected the five continents, and many people still retained the habit of reading paper documents.

Chu Ling said in a low voice: "Later, these people all died... the Stars Project..."

Therefore, the "interesting" that Jing Shanyan said had a second meaning.

The place where he finally placed the array box.

It was the "secret base" of the Jiangbei Ancient Text Society, which was a pure land before being wiped out.

"So, the reason why they chose to be here at the beginning was not to avoid sight... but just because it was beautiful here, and had never been discovered." Gu Shen took out a document from the bookshelf, flipped through it, looking at the dense annotations and yellowed handwriting on it, his expression was a little complicated, "I just didn't expect that after the 【Great Purge】, this place would become the safest place."

The array box was not difficult to find.

This place was only so big.

Jing Shanyan placed it on the top layer of the bookshelf.

"This... is my 'hometown'..."

Gu Shen held the array box in his hand and carefully examined it.

Chu Ling in Ling Ling Yao Yi watched this scene blankly, recalling the "Stars Past" that Jing Shanyan said, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart... Her birth originated from a miracle, and these people were willing to turn into flames, allowing her to successfully burn out "life."

"Actually... Han Dang's final guess was not wrong."

Chu Ling said in a hoarse voice: "If the 'Stars Project' executed by Mr. Jing Shanyan refers to uploading consciousness to the 'array box', then there really is a 'wall'..."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"Because this array box is located in a 'closed network'."

"The souls that enter the box can burn, return, or be completely uploaded to the Deep Sea area."

"And you, have the power to decide all of this."

Chu Ling said word by word: "You, are that 'wall'."

"I... understand."

Gu Shen held his breath and held the box in both hands.

He slowly infiltrated his spirit into the array box.

The whole world became incomparably quiet at this moment.

As if connecting to the Deep Sea for the first time... his consciousness quickly fell, but this time he did not come to the "Deep Water Area", but an independent sea area. This spiritual sea area was specially created by Mr. Turing, and it was a closed network that could be connected to the 【Deep Sea】 from the outside.

In this sea area, Gu Shen saw hundreds of sleeping souls.

"Mu Wanqiu, Mu Qingyang..."

Among them, there were fourteen law enforcers whose consciousness had been uploaded by Han Dang.

There were also those "Tundra criminals" who should have been directly executed...

"Taotie..."

"Zhu Wang!"

Chu Ling's consciousness also submerged with him, and she came to her birthplace.

In this sea area, there were still some lingering embers... those were the traces of someone burning before.

"These criminals from the tundra... they are already dead."

Chu Ling said: "Whether it is burning or exile, their ending is already destined, their physical bodies are destroyed, and their spirits are destined to dissipate... even if they are preserved in the array box, they will not last long."

Yes.

Gu Shen saw that the spiritual edges of those people began to feather and blur.

"They are already dead..."

Gu Shen suddenly asked: "If their souls are guided to the 'Pure Land', what will happen?"

The array box sea area fell into a brief silence.

"Good question."

Chu Ling said slowly: "【Deep Sea】 cannot deduce the miracle that the Fire Seed can create, but according to my guess, they may 'live' again. Under the authority of Hades, they have a chance... to stand up."

"Do you want to try?" Chu Ling asked.

"Chi!"

Gu Shen directly answered with action.

He tapped Taotie lightly with his fingertip.

The next moment, Taotie's sleeping soul burst into flames—

This super criminal ranked first in 【Snow Cage】 directly burst and burned under Gu Shen's finger, and turned into a cloud of broken and scattered ashes in a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards.

Gu Shen pointed at Zhu Wang.

"Rumble!"

Zhu Wang's soul also burned violently in an instant!

However, the soul of a titled class is much stronger than Taotie...

After burning, Zhu Wang's sleeping soul actually struggled to open his eyes!

"Gu... Gu Shen!"

Zhu Wang looked at the young man in front of him angrily and in horror.

Then he looked around and found that he was actually in a nihilistic spiritual sea, with floating "soul bodies" in all directions... Did the Stars Project succeed? But why didn't he see his disciples?

His sleeping state was awakened at this moment.

Zhu Wang roared and asked: "Where is this... where is Han Dang?"

"Han Dang is already dead."

Gu Shen said calmly: "But don't worry, you'll be soon too."

Zhu Wang was stunned. He had never felt such great despair in his heart, because beside Gu Shen, there was also a young woman with an ethereal temperament like a god.

Gu Shen pointed, and that woman also pointed.

The array box was created for the revival of 【Source Code】.

Chu Ling has absolute authority.

"No...!"

Zhu Wang's soul was indeed very powerful. It burned for dozens of seconds under the burning of Zhi Huo... Even the scattered embers were several times more than Taotie's...

However, it was meaningless.

After entering the "array box," their fate was no longer under their own control.

"These two, Pure Land will not accept."

Gu Shen said softly: "The rest can be transformed a little."

He unfolded his domain and rolled up the sleeping souls with his mental power.

"Pure Land" is now in the middle of winter, shrouded in great cold. Tie Wu and Hong Zhong built a wooden house, and after this spiritual divine realm changed, the two began a long rest.

After this reversal of the seasons, those scattered seeds... seemed to not need them to cultivate or water, and they could grow on their own.

After all, it is a divine realm.

Even the seasons have reversed, and it doesn't matter if more rule-breaking things happen.

So these days, they are just widening the divine realm and constantly sowing seeds.

Other things need to be left to the Throne Master... In the middle of winter, there are only two of them, and even if they want to make some big moves, they don't have enough manpower.

"Rumble—"

A roar came from the distant sky.

Tie Wu carried his hoe and trotted all the way, and outside the wooden house, he saw a dark crowd of people.

These people all looked very dazed...

Gu Shen, dressed in black, stood in the heavy snow, pointing at their foreheads one by one. Each time he pointed, a scarlet Zhi Huo brand would appear on their foreheads. With the slight shroud of the "fire of life," their fragile spirits would not be directly "frozen to death" in the "Great Cold Pure Land."

"Throne Master, what is this?"

Tie Wu was dumbfounded.

In these years, Pure Land has been peaceful and deserted, and he thought that the days would pass like this.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shen directly brought back hundreds of people.

"These people are yours. After I leave, you are responsible for 'taming' them."

Gu Shen quickly completed the fire bestowal.

He said to Tie Wu: "These people are different from 'Hong Zhong'. They are all damned people, so I erased their memories... With these people, the great construction of Pure Land can begin."
