Chapter 1 Qin Ye's Question

Qin Ye suddenly felt that the divine seat before him was very unfamiliar.

Countless seawater surrounded him.

The divine language in his skull made him give up thinking… Just as his consciousness was sinking, fragmented memories from his past life suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Scene after scene.

A fleeting glimpse, fragmented and chaotic, but all flowing backward.

Finally, all these memories shattered, the last image freezing and solidifying in his mind was that night in Lion Alley ten years ago. The rain had stopped, the dawn was about to break, and the man who faced death with equanimity said to him.

["If the goal of the Apostles is truly to benefit all mankind, to rebuild a new world of perfect order, then I hope that at some point in the future you will realize that humanity has taken a completely wrong path."]

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was fate.

At this moment, Qin Ye suddenly thought of Lu Cheng's message to him.

He raised his head in a daze, looked at the divine seat, and said with a dry voice, "Lord Divine Seat… I have a question…"

The face of the Sky Divine Seat, shrouded in flowing data, was neither sad nor happy, but full of compassion as it gazed at its Apostle.

"Is the path I am walking… all correct?"

Qin Ye didn't know why he would ask this question… this absurd, ridiculous question. He was an Apostle under the Divine Seat!

He had always firmly believed… that throughout the entire Central Continent, he was the most devout person with the strongest will and determination, and the most sincere disciple willing to dedicate everything to the future of mankind.

How could such a person doubt his own choices?

Even a second of hesitation was blasphemy against the Divine Seat!

After speaking, Qin Ye instinctively wanted to lower his head, but what lingered in his mind more frequently than the divine language… were Lu Cheng's extremely calm last words. A force drove him to raise his head and look directly into the eyes of the Divine Seat.

He had already decided to dedicate himself.

What else in this world was there to be afraid of?

He met the gaze of the Sky Divine Seat, and heard the uncontrollable voice in his throat gradually become firm from difficult, "Can… you give me an answer?"

The seawater enveloped the large robe.

The Sky Divine Seat looked at Qin Ye with great disappointment. He opened his mouth softly and said, "Qin Ye… these are not the words an Apostle should ask."

"Lord…"

Qin Ye lowered his head and said hoarsely, "I just want to know… the truth…"

Having said that.

The Sky Divine Seat did not reply.

He stared intently at Qin Ye, or rather, at the infinite deep sea behind Qin Ye. A trace of gloom slowly emerged in that divine face forged from data.

For some reason… he suddenly felt a strange sense of being spied upon. This spiritual sea was the deepest layer of the ocean, forged from the Source Code. Theoretically, the number of people with the authority to enter the same depth did not exceed the fingers on both hands.

And those who dared to spy on the Divine Seat… were naturally only Divine Seats.

The Sky Divine Seat flicked his sleeve violently.

The surrounding spiritual sea began to riot… every water droplet was churning, an invisible wave splashing toward the distance.

Was it Gu Changzhi?

His first reaction was that it was the man who had been sleeping in Qingzhong for a long time… However, after this flick of his sleeve, only a circle of furious spiritual ripples splashed out, and there was no other sound. The spiritual sea gradually became silent from boiling.

Qin Ye looked blankly at the furious Sky Divine Seat, not daring to speak, thinking that he had angered the gods.

Was it an illusion?

The strange feeling of being spied upon that lingered in the Sky Divine Seat's heart still had not disappeared.

He looked coldly at Qin Ye and said, "What truth do you want?"

…

…

"Rumble—"

The Divine Seat casually flicked his sleeve at the bottom of the deep sea.

The sound seemed ordinary and common.

But in reality, in Gu Shen's ears, it was like thunder. After he fell to the bottom, his spiritual body was wrapped in countless bubbles. It was a strange feeling… he seemed to have become a part of this underwater world.

The Source Code took him in, and so he became a part of the Source Code.

The surging seawater, every water droplet, was filled with the Divine Seat's immeasurable spiritual power like the sea… Just as it was about to reach Gu Shen's face, it was blocked by countless Source Code, the water flow dissipated, and Gu Shen was safe and sound.

Chu Ling slowly retracted her arm, which was blocking Gu Shen.

"This is… have we been discovered?" Gu Shen's expression was a little pale. He didn't dare to speak until he saw Chu Ling's smile at him, and then he dared to ask tentatively, fearing that even a little extra movement would attract the Divine Seat's attention.

"Yes, and no." Chu Ling narrowed her eyes and said with a faint smile, "Anyone can have moments of illusion… As long as he can't find evidence, then the truth is also false."

The Sky Divine Seat's intuition was indeed sharp.

He was actually able to capture the anomaly of the Source Code… But unfortunately, how could someone find the water droplet they wanted in the sea? If it wasn't Chu Ling who was really spying, but another transcendent, even the Divine Seat would have been forced out just now.

This wasn't like finding a needle in a haystack.

It was like finding water in the sea.

"…Stimulating enough." Gu Shen let out a deep breath. He stared intently at the illusory figure in the distance and asked, "Can the scene and sound here be uploaded synchronously?"

"Yes." Chu Ling frowned, a little puzzled, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"It's a long story…"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "First… I want to convey a greeting from a great man to you. Mr. Gu Changzhi sends his regards."

Chu Ling was stunned.

"Then, in order to express that you brought me to see our sea… I will also take you to a place later, a place you have been to." Gu Shen thought for a while and said slowly, "According to your description, that place should be called… our prairie?"

A place I have been to…

Chu Ling was first at a loss for a second, but soon she realized where Gu Shen was talking about. A blush of shyness appeared on her slightly baby-faced face.

She whispered in annoyance, "So cheesy…"

Gu Shen smiled and said with emotion, "It is a bit, but it's quite a good match, isn't it?"

The Source Code has its own sea.

The Key has the wilderness of the four seasons.

Two originally lonely souls, after meeting in the spiritual world… are no longer lonely.

This is a coincidence that algorithms cannot calculate, and a romance that codes can never build.

It is very appropriate to describe it as a match made in heaven.

"I want an important person to see the scene here." Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling's eyes, which had already vaguely understood, and said with certainty, "That's right… you should have guessed it, it's the Apostle of the Wine Divine Seat, Tie Wu."
