Light Fortress-Chapter 62 - 60 Chi Huo
62: Chapter 60 Chi Huo
62 -60 Chi Huo
Before him was a blot of light.
Gu Shen felt as if he were a fish suspended in the deep sea.
This was an unprecedented sensation…
His ideology was stripped away, existing completely independently in another space.
It was hard to describe with the word “technology”.
This seemed more like…
a divine miracle.
It was a great wonder only a god could accomplish, yet it had been done by a computer.
Gu Shen stretched out his hands, sensing himself “living” on another level.
Was this…
the Extraordinary Connection?
The ordinary people of the five continents, living in the tangible world of reality, had no idea that the deep sea also provided a deeper layer of Extraordinary Connection…
It was more like a dream controlled by subjective consciousness.
And the light before him…
was that the Deep Sea?
Gu Shen reached out to touch the light but grasped at nothing.
The moment his fingertips touched it, the light dispersed like fireflies gathered at night, scattering at a touch…
Countless glowing streams flowed backward, morphing into blurred human shapes, swiftly switching between tall, short, fat, and thin as the data streamed.
Was the Deep Sea choosing an image? frёewebnoѵēl.com
Eventually, the radiant light solidified into the outline of a child.
The child bowed slowly to Gu Shen, “Serial number Z340011240001, welcome to the ‘deep water area,’ with the current serial number’s permissions…
only a test of the Extraordinary Trial and the first layer of the Deep Sea are provided.”
After these words, the child’s image instantly blurred, transforming into countless streams of chaos, and finally, in the floating dream, a not-so-wide “door” formed.
Gu Shen focused his gaze around him.
Besides the door…
there were no other exits, this place was different from the deep sea he had imagined.
It seemed that each person performing the Extraordinary Connection exists as an independent individual?
At least, that was what he had figured out so far.
So as the only host that connects, it was the “Deep Sea”.
He once again marveled at the greatness of Allen Turing, the real Transcendent should be the “Deep Sea”, handling countless tasks while also connecting with billions of sentient beings…
“Once I enter this door, I should be able to sense my own ‘Extraordinary Power’.”
Gu Shen held his breath and carefully touched and pushed open the door.
A warm current enveloped him.
The world melted once again…
His sight faded, and the entire world became very dim.
Gu Shen sensed himself turning his head…
but it was still pitch black; he opened his eyes, closed them, and then blinked again to confirm that he could control his senses under his ideology.
This feeling was like arriving at the darkest night, or perhaps true blindness.
“Wait a minute…
Has the Extraordinary Trial of the first layer of the Deep Sea already started?”
Gu Shen’s heart suddenly calmed down, recalling Senior Sister Luo’s words.
The Deep Sea provided a connection to every Transcendent…
As the trial deepened, control over Extraordinary Powers would become increasingly proficient.
Then the first layer must be the most basic perception.
Chu Ling said that the assessment team’s evaluation of his capabilities was not accurate…
Tearing should be replaced with creation, while the aspect of Blazing Light had not much difference…
The world before him was so dark because his own Extraordinary Power was still too weak.
“Whew…”
Gu Shen exhaled deeply.
He smiled and heard his own laughter.
Now he truly felt like he had arrived at the Ghost Cage…
he was facing his most genuine Extraordinary Power, which was not as strong as in the malicious world, but fragile like a trembling flame.
It shattered at a touch.
He stretched out a hand, struggling to touch the pitch-black world before him.
His fingertips seemed to tear something…
tearing was much harder than tearing apart the Ghost Cage…
he was destroying the disorder in this space to establish his own “order”.
This tearing was, in fact, creation.
So, in the darkness, a flame slowly lit up.
This flame was too weak, like a flickering strand of hair, straw, hovering over Gu Shen’s fingertips, as if it would extinguish with half of it at a light blow, and the remaining part was frantically swaying.
But, just a wisp remained, never to be extinguished.
“Am I…
that weak…”
Gu Shen smiled wryly.
A boundless sense of satisfaction emerged in his heart.
Although his spiritual power was being consumed at an enormous rate, he had truly glimpsed his own “Extraordinary Power” for the first time—a wisp of orderly light amidst the darkness, yet so frail that a single breath could extinguish it unintentionally.
To have it, was enough.
A single spark can start a wildfire.
He exerted all his might to sustain the burning of this flame…
but as the spiritual power drained, the first level of the Extraordinary Trial space seemed to have spontaneously generated numerous gusts of wind from all directions, each threatening to snuff out the flame.
A wisp of light illuminated the pallor of Gu Shen’s cheeks.
This blaze was too beautiful.
He couldn’t bear to look away, nor did he want to let it die out.
“Don’t overdo it, you might hurt yourself,”
Chu Ling’s voice arose very softly in the first level of the Extraordinary Trial space, “The growth potential of your power is very strong.
To be able to summon it on your first trial is already quite remarkable.
Maintaining a stable state might still take some time.”
“You’re right…
it really isn’t easy…”
Gu Shen’s voice was very low, revealing some weakness, but more unmistakably, an uncontrollable joy, “This blaze of light…
this is my power?”
His voice was very soft, yet incredibly firm.
“Let me look at it a while longer, okay?”
Chu Ling was silent for a moment.
She did not interrupt the young man’s stubborn persistence but silently accompanied him, gazing at the wisp of flame struggling to burn in the darkness.
This wisp of fire was too weak; it couldn’t last two seconds before it would extinguish.
Two seconds, three seconds.
It did not extinguish.
A minute passed…
The fire was still burning.
In the first level of the Extraordinary Trial space, the wind gradually picked up, no longer tremblingly suspended at Gu Shen’s fingertips, but carefully cradled in his palm, halfway encased to protect it.
Gu Shen’s consciousness began to tremble uncontrollably…
The essence of the Extraordinary Connection was Deep Sea providing computing power and the host providing spiritual power, but his spiritual power had been nearly exhausted, barely sustained by sheer willpower.
The stability of this space was already difficult to maintain, the fierce winds sweeping as if they wanted to scatter one’s bones.
Three minutes…
five minutes…
If no one interrupted, he would continue to endure solely on willpower.
“Gu Shen…”
Chu Ling spoke somewhat tenderly.
The moment her voice appeared—
The flame extinguished.
Wind also stopped.
The stability of the space returned to normal.
Unbeknownst to Gu Shen, he had already curled into a fetal position, protecting the Chi Huo using all his spiritual power…
After a long while, he wore a pale smile and slowly spread open his hand, as if showing off his own child, with a hint of pride.
In the center of his palm, there was a fine flame.
Softly pulsating.
Very stable.
“Does this count as…
maintaining stability?”
