Chapter 2045 - 75: Triumphant Return Home (2)

As the general of North Continent, Rust Bone had a pride that belonged to him!

Having expended so many resources, after four years of hard cultivation with the Hunting Spark at the Time Dojo, being able to kill the Spring Plow in this battle was something he ought to achieve!

If he lost, he would be too ashamed to face Gu Shen.

"This... Is this the former Source Tower Divine Envoy, Red Dragon?"

Rust Bone turned around and looked at Red Dragon, who was trapped by the Netherworld Fire cage.

In the days of cultivation at the Time Dojo, Gu Shen had already talked to Rust Bone about the Ancient Literature Society.

Back then, Red Dragon was taken away from the Ice Sea, and it was always a regret in Gu Shen’s heart. But today... Under the arrangement of fate, this regret was satisfied.

Gu Shen waved his sleeve to dispel the Netherworld Fire.

"Yes... it is me."

Red Dragon looked at Gu Shen, a surge of sorrow hitting his nose.

He never thought the two would meet again in such a manner, so many words were stuck in his chest all at once.

At this moment, the soul contract was dissolved.

The soul of "Mr. Yan" deep in his Spirit Sea, and those memories destroyed by Divination Skill, all resurfaced in his Heart Lake.

With each spirit summoning, Red Dragon would destroy the memories in his mind.

But "Mr. Yan"... would preserve every conversation for him.

Mr. Yan was waiting for the day Red Dragon’s contract was dissolved, and his memories were unsealed!

"Following intuition... so this was the meaning."

Red Dragon was in a daze, having fiercely confronted the Spring Plow Saint a few days ago, saving many Storm Church followers.

If it weren’t for his "resistance."

The followers aboard the starship might have died by the thousands!

Now, Storm encountered Gu Shen, the divine war was already ended... Storm God’s Throne was killed, those followers became the most precious "wealth". Red Dragon knew Gu Shen possessed the Holy Book, even if he didn’t, it didn’t matter!

Storm God’s Throne was killed, Spring Plow Saint fell!

Now all the followers aboard the entire starship consider him Red Dragon their leader!

Gu Shen took the two, back to Storm.

Storm Church brought out tens of thousands of followers from the Southern Continent, all kneeling on the ground now, Gu Shen’s Divine Domain took over this starship, exempting no one - whether civilians, followers, or bishops.

Even two saints were among the kneeling crowd.

"Jiadi... Hai Tong."

Red Dragon looked at the kneeling crowd, speaking softly.

Hai Tong Saint was trembling all over, drenched in cold sweat...

Today’s killing spree, didn’t seem complex to him.

Spring Plow Saint was ordered to kill Red Dragon, while he and several other saints were instructed to serve the Lord Divine.

But now...

The Lord Divine was dead!

He couldn’t help but suspect that all this was a plot laid by Red Dragon; Spring Plow, and the Lord Divine were just pieces in "Red Dragon’s" game.

And he, the title of saint sounded prestigious.

But he was nothing at all.

If Gu Shen wanted to kill him, just a thought would suffice.

"Except for the storm, I almost didn’t kill anyone." Gu Shen looked at Red Dragon, and spoke slowly, "The people on this starship, I’ll leave to you to dispose of."

Red Dragon looked at Hai Tong and Jiadi, kneeling before the crowd.

After the dissolution of the soul contract, the memories of the past four years remained—

Hai Tong was a titled member of the Spring Plow Saint’s camp, always opposing me, and today’s 600-mile siege was organized by him choosing the Space Gate.

As for Jiadi, although he was a follower of the Storm God’s Throne, he had quickly joined my ranks.

For these four years, while I was isolated, he was my only companion.

"This person cannot be spared."

Red Dragon extended two fingers, pointing at Hai Tong, whose expression turned horrified, suddenly lifting his head, the previous humble expression instantly replaced with madness.

But before that madness could develop.

With a slap sound.

Gu Shen lightly snapped his fingers.

Hai Tong Saint’s body was instantly sliced open by the Netherworld Fire—

No one even saw how Gu Shen made his move!

A thread of pitch-black fire line severed Hai Tong Saint in half at the waist!

"???"

Jiadi kneeling beside Hai Tong Saint, his pupils contracted, drenched in cold sweat.

A titled saint, killed just like that!

"This one, keep."

The Red Dragon pointed at Jiadi, and whispered, "I don’t have anyone to kill. You can use the Holy Book now. For safety’s sake, I suggest you perform a baptism on all the Transcendents here."

This statement caused a storm within the Storm!

The believers lying on the ground, including Jiadi, raised their heads one after another.

They couldn’t believe that the Red Dragon, being the first loyal follower of the Storm Church, would say such words!

But minutes later.

The interior of the Storm returned to silence, with no more murmured discussions and no one angrily looking at the Red Dragon. The entire starship was surrounded by gently spreading golden light and a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere.

The people were still kneeling, but when they looked at Gu Shen and the Red Dragon, there was no resentment, no endurance, and no hatred.

What they had in their eyes—

Only peace, worship, and admiration.

"Is this the power of the Holy Book?"

The Rust Bone General couldn’t help but express his amazement. This was the first time he had seen the Holy Book’s miraculous effect first-hand!

An entire starship, nearly ten thousand Extraordinary Life forms, had all transformed their faith!

Minutes ago, they were "sworn holders" of the Storm God’s Throne, but now they’ve begun to praise Gu Shen, to praise Chi Huo.

No wonder Gu Shen fought with the Storm God’s Throne but didn’t want to destroy this starship!

The precious items left by the Storm God’s Throne were not only sparks but also these faithful believers... The configuration of these people was carefully selected by the Holy City; most of them have their uses. More than ten thousand Transcendent church members together can perform an orderly division of labor within the starship to ensure that this big vessel can sail steadily through the routes of the Old World!

"This spark, from now on... it’s yours."

Gu Shen extended his palm to take out the most precious item.

In front of all the church members, he presented the Storm Spark to the Red Dragon.

"Gu Shen... What are you doing?"

The Red Dragon was startled.

He quickly waved his hand and stepped back to refuse.

Spark!

Placed in front of him... was a naked spark! How many people in the world have fought bloody battles for a spark, and how many have willingly given up their lives?

Gu Shen shook his head and extended his palm to clutch the spark tightly, forcibly placing it before the Red Dragon.

"This is what you deserve, and it’s what I owe you."

Gu Shen’s tone was firm.

"I..."

After contemplating for a long time, the Red Dragon still shook his head, "This thing is too precious. I can’t accept it."

"Precious?"

The Rust Bone General standing at the side chuckled softly at this moment.

The Red Dragon was somewhat puzzled.

He looked at the Rust Bone General’s slightly mischievous expression, somewhat at a loss.

"Indeed, sparks are the most precious things in the world... Searching throughout the Old World, there should only be twelve."

The Rust Bone General spoke leisurely, "But the guy standing in front of you holds five in his hands. No, adding this ’Storm Spark’, Gu Shen practically has half of the world’s sparks!"

"???

The Red Dragon was stunned.

Gu Shen was helpless as he waved his sleeve to summon a spiritual scene—it was the Time Dojo’s scene.

Hunting Spark, Valley Spark, Molten Iron Spark! These three sparks corresponded from afar, like three large stars!

Besides, his own Netherworld Fire Spark and Chu Ling’s Torch of Love were also present in the spiritual scene!

Adding the Storm Spark... It was indeed six!

The Red Dragon wore a surprised expression and didn’t know what to say.

"Sparks are precious, but not more precious than that..." Gu Shen said softly, "You can rest assured and begin forging. Next, we need to return to the Five Continents. The sooner you start merging with the spark, the easier it will be when we reach the Five Continents."

"Return to the Five Continents?"

The Red Dragon’s expression became solemn, realizing a slight unease.

The Red Dragon didn’t know the Five Continents was already at war.

Back when he sold his soul to the Storm God’s Throne... he boarded the starship and left.

"Indeed..."

Gu Shen briefly explained the situation from back then. He solemnly said, "Now the Storm God’s Throne is dead. This lost starship has also been conquered. Next, we need to follow the routes the Storm Church has taken all these years, reverse course, speed up, and return to the Five Continents as soon as possible."

The Rust Bone General’s expression was not solemn.

Six sparks!

Along with Gu Shen’s formidable power that broke through the Storm God’s Throne’s main domain...

Once this starship fleet returns to the Five Continents, it will end this protracted war!

"Is this considered a successful homecoming?"

The Rust Bone General, with both hands leaning on the bronze sword, expressed emotion and murmured softly.

"Who knows... whether the Source Tower’s Divine War has ended."
