Light Fortress-Chapter 1516 - 218: Life Through Death (Part 3)
After all, with sufficient source essence, only then can the "World Master" perform miracles such as rain and sunshine.
"Adam has entered the Pure Land World for more than two years. Even if the Sangzhou Cave mission goes without trouble, you shouldn’t have been in seclusion for so long." Li Qingci said calmly, "The most important thing is... during these two years, you’ve been cultivating beneath the Suspended Wood without telling me a single thing about Qing Sui."
"As expected, I still can’t hide it from you."
Gu Shen, upon hearing this, lowered his eyes.
He chose not to continue concealing but confessed: "Something really did happen in the real world. It’s hard to explain the specifics, you just need to know... I am now buried deep in the Ice Sea, perhaps several kilometers deep, maybe ten thousand meters."
"Deep in the Ice Sea?"
Li Qingci was taken aback.
Although she had mentally prepared, the news still seemed a bit absurd.
"Don’t worry, I’m the only one buried in the Ice Sea."
Gu Shen said indifferently: "The [Tanyao] eruption at Sangzhou Cave, the Storm Church used their power to push the isolated island into the Ice Sea, eventually leading to the island’s disintegration... hmm, that’s roughly the situation."
"???"
Li Qingci’s expression was quite fascinating; she suddenly remembered something, asked in horror: "Wait, do you mean you’ve been buried under the Ice Sea for two years?"
Gu Shen silently nodded.
"The source essence born from the Pure Land is enough to maintain basic life activities... As long as my spirit doesn’t falter, this state can continue indefinitely."
Li Qingci looked at Gu Shen incredulously and said, "Are you sure you’re not dead, and now your posthumous spirit is with us ’the deceased’?"
"... ..."
Gu Shen was a bit helpless.
He sighed long: "Honestly, recently my spirit has started to have some issues, and the thought you just mentioned, I myself have had similar illusions before. However, in the real world, my heart can still beat, although my physical functions are starting to decline, I guess I’m still alive... right?"
Li Qingci heard it.
The last word meant that Gu Shen himself wasn’t sure either.
After saying this, the spirit that Gu Shen left under the Suspended Wood had a slight trance, not fatigue, but "numbness."
"Not good..."
Li Qingci sensed something amiss.
She took a deep breath, hurriedly squatted down, and forcefully shook Gu Shen’s shoulders.
Everything was silent, everything was still.
This state... is actually no different from being dead.
"Gu Shen, can you hear me?"
Looking at the dazed Gu Shen, Li Qingci tried to continue the conversation, but the other party had no response.
"The Pure Land is still in the ’deep winter,’ here remains the closest to deathly silence, just like you at this moment."
She hurriedly spoke, calling softly while raising her arm, she pointed to the frost-covered Suspended Wood branch, loudly reminding: "Didn’t Mr. Gu Changzhi leave you the Four Seasons Breathing Method? You’ve successfully taken the step into reverse cultivation... Gu Shen, you need to believe in yourself, you can be reborn from death!"
"Boom..."
On the seven hundredth day in the real world.
The deep sea currents churned out a muffled sound of bubbles. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The skeletal figure leaning against the longevity stone wall, his eyelids slightly trembled.
Gu Shen’s spirit became turbulent, he vaguely remembered Li Qingci’s cry, and the last four words.
Reborn from death.
