Chapter 1059 The Most Expensive

Most things in this world have a price.

Of course, there are also so-called "priceless treasures."

In the world of transcendents, Divine Vestige Silver is a priceless treasure… and now, Lin Lin, in front of many people, gave these Divine Vestige Silver to Gu Shen for free.

"This young man is not simple."

Old Master Gu Qilin looked over there and sighed softly, "These words were deliberately said for us to hear."

Guangming City and the Northern Continent are drifting further and further apart.

Now, the new ally chosen by the Northern Continent is Nagano…

So, if these Divine Vestige Silver were to be priced, how should it be done?

This is truly a sky-high price.

When it came time to pay, although it would sting a bit, with the Gu family's vast assets, the Old Master could afford it.

However, this "transaction" is not beneficial to the rising relationship between the two continents—

The Gu family cannot represent the entire Nagano.

But the Gu family can influence the entire Nagano.

The relationship between the two continents is often leveraged by a few people.

Lin Lin's choice was very clever. He gave these Divine Vestige Silver to Gu Shen in front of many transcendents at the combat base… On the one hand, this act was a "gesture of goodwill" from the Northern Continent.

On the other hand, he once again elevated Gu Shen's status.

Whether it is Central City or Nagano, both intend to make Gu Shen a "link" between the two continents.

Betting on the right person.

Many complex things can be simplified.

"Free is the most expensive…"

Gu Nanfeng said, "This young man named Lin is actually very famous in the Northern Continent Fortress defense line. He has talent, ability, means, and foresight."

"Indeed… Gubu Fortress is known as the 'throat'." Luo Yu also nodded, "To be able to take out so much Divine Vestige Silver in one go, I'm afraid it's the Lin family's intention. Obviously, the Lin family doesn't need mundane things, and they don't want us to pay 'rewards' for it."

"What they value is a longer-term future."

The Old Master bit his cigar and exhaled slowly, "However, the cause of all this may not be that complicated…"

"Not that complicated?" Luo Yu was stunned, puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

"The reason why Lin Lin came here may be because the two of them have a very close personal relationship."

"Young people's friendships are like this now, one piercing cloud arrow, thousands of troops and horses come to meet. Gu Shen needs it, he has it, so he sent it, thinking from the other's perspective, it's the same."

Gu Qilin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I don't think that young man named Lin Lin looks like someone with deep schemes. Is there a possibility that this kid purely wants to help Gu Shen. As for 'free,' 'gift,' and those words just now, it's probably Zhu Xue's idea, adding flowers to the brocade, adding fuel to the fire."

This was his intuition.

However, upon hearing this… Gu Nanfeng and Bai Chen both nodded secretly.

"Nagano intends to promote a young leader."

"Central City is the same."

"Under the surging undercurrents of the future, we all need sufficiently excellent young people to step forward, to take over the banner of the times, to connect the two continents. There are very few qualified young people, and they have chosen Gu Shen, coincidentally, this is also our idea."

….“So, all of this happened so 'smoothly and appropriately'."

Old Master Gu smiled, "This time, it was the Northern Continent taking the initiative to show goodwill. Next time, it will be our turn."

Gu Shen said earlier that he was the chosen one.

Now it seems that the name "chosen one" is indeed well-deserved.

The Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent need a "link" to unite. This link does not necessarily need to be so powerful, but it must have a profound influence in both continents… In Nagano, Dadu, Central City, and many areas in the Northern Fortress, there must be good "public opinion feedback."

Bai Xiu, Gong Zi, Mu Wanqiu, Zhong Yuan, Lin Lin, these young geniuses are actually very strong.

Moreover, placed in a specific exclusive area, the "support rate" they have is very high.

But when the area is enlarged.

They do not have the "connection" effect.

The Northern Continent transcendents in the fortress area basically don't know Bai Xiu, Gong Zi, they can't even recognize them… let alone "agree" with them.

It's the same the other way around.

No one in Nagano knows the names of Lin Lin, Zhong Yuan, and Mu Wanqiu, which are widely spread in the Northern Continent. When they arrive in the Eastern Continent, the effect is greatly reduced…

But Gu Shen is different from them.

Within the Eastern Continent, whether it is Dadu, Nagano, or his hometown Qinghe, they are all familiar with his deeds. As for the other major districts, there is no need to say more. As a successor of divination, a guest of honor of the Five Great Families, after the Mausoleum Grand Event, Gu Shen's reputation in the Eastern Continent is almost comparable to that of Gu Changzhi when he was young.

It was also because of the "Mausoleum Storm" that the Northern Continent transcendents remembered the name of this young man from the Eastern Continent.

The subsequent Maze Mission, the interception of the storm, the rescue of the toxin, the Central City conferment, the restart of the Doru River… a series of miraculous events made Gu Shen a "legendary figure" in the eyes of young people in the Northern Continent in just half a year.

Such influence is fully worthy of the name "chosen one."

……

……

"Alright, what needs to be said has been said, I should go back."

Lin Lin simply chatted for a few words and expressed his intention to leave.

Old Master Gu, who was watching the show over there, guessed correctly.

In fact, Lin Lin's original intention was just to simply deliver the things.

It was Zhu Xue who insisted on letting him "act" in such a scene in front of everyone.

Lin Chou's arrangement was actually fine.

Old Master Gu is a smart man. Even without this scene, he would remember the Northern Continent's kindness, but if there really wasn't this scene, most enforcers would not see what the Northern Continent had contributed…

But after tonight.

Nagano enforcers will spread this matter by word of mouth.

Because of Gu Shen's reputation, they all had face, and with the help of the spreading effect, the relationship between Nagano and Central City will go a step further. If all goes well, the two continents will gradually enter a "honeymoon period."

"Just going back like this?"

Gu Shen carried the box and whispered to persuade him to stay.

Lin Lin's actions, and the deeper meaning of those words just now, he actually understood.

It's just that from Gubu Fortress to the Tundra, the journey is always far away, and it's a bit too fast to meet for a few minutes and then say goodbye.

….“Otherwise?”

Lin Lin asked with a smile, "Or I'll stay here and help the Nagano enforcers fight a few battles in the upcoming Northern Extermination mission?"

Hearing this, Gu Shen also smiled.

Of course, that's not what he meant.

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart. He knew that with Lin Lin's status, he wouldn't have a day off for 365 days a year.

The Northern Continent Fortress cannot be without a garrison for a day.

If the box didn't contain 'Divine Vestige Silver,' Lin Lin probably wouldn't have come here in person.

This thing is too precious.

Only he has it, and only he can deliver it.

"There are still many people waiting for me at Gubu Fortress… Recently, a new batch of recruits has arrived, and they need to be trained properly."

Lin Lin boarded the Origin Energy Boat's elevator, pressed his military cap, and said goodbye with a smile, "If you want to meet, wait until things here are over, and you can come to Gubu Fortress."

The elevator slowly rose.

The young Major General nodded to Old Master Gu and his group in the distance, signaling goodbye.

Finally, the air surged.

Lin Lin came quickly and left quickly, staying only for a short ten minutes, leaving behind the priceless "Divine Vestige Silver."

Gu Shen carried the box and watched Lin Lin leave.

In this era, there are many twinkling stars. At a certain moment, several stars shine together.

But this kind of encounter is destined to be short-lived.

There are always partings in the world, and the brief meeting with Lin Lin is actually a good thing. If you don't stay, you won't be nostalgic.

"The vessel of the Heavenly Sheath is already in hand, I should go back and extract the fragments."

When the Origin Energy Boat from Gubu Fortress disappeared beyond the snowy clouds.

Gu Shen also returned to the "Corpse Collection Ground."

He opened the alloy box, took out the first Divine Vestige Silver box, and began to extract the "Heavenly Sheath Fragments" one by one. Due to the unparalleled sealing performance of the "Divine Vestige Silver," the activity of these fragments can be completely preserved.

Only for Gu Shen.

Extracting fragments is not a difficult task.

His body is already immune to Heavenly Sheath Fragments… Even if he extracts them violently and is contaminated by the curse, he can clear the curse by meeting in "Black Snow Mountain."

This task cannot be completed by others.

But in the eyes of the future Hades, there is no danger in this.

"Stand up."

Along with a soft whisper, the power of the Hades Fire Seed authority spread in the Corpse Collection Ground.

Gu Shen directly unfolded the Pure Land and extracted the incomplete souls of these people.

A Susu Tree descended from the sky, wrapped in countless cold winds, and sat on the snowy tundra.

On this frozen frost soil controlled by Hades, these lying, broken, and cracked "corpses" began to twist, struggle, and then sit up one after another.

"Although I have not yet merged with the 'Fire Seed'… but I can already use part of the power of authority…"

Gu Shen scanned the front.

Although he can "awaken" the dead, his power is limited after all.

There are thirty-one people here in total.

And at present, his power of authority is fully exerted, and he can awaken at most ten "dead bodies" in one breath. This number is not too large. Gu Shen pondered for a while and murmured, "Ten Snow Cage criminals with Tier 3 strength, their pre-death realm was probably at the seventh or eighth level."

….After these people "revive," the dissipation of Origin Qi in their bodies stagnates.

Similar to the situation of awakening the "Poison Ghost" before.

The strength of these revived people has declined a lot.

Those who were originally at the seventh level of the Deep Sea are now only left with the power of the fourth level of the Deep Sea, generally declining by a large stage… This is very fatal. Tier 2 Deep Sea transcendents are the majority of the transcendent world. The Tier 4 strength of these revived people is actually not too big of a threat.

No matter how large the number, it is not enough to see in front of high-level transcendents.

But actually…

What is truly terrifying is the "Hades Authority" that caused all of this.

As long as the power of authority maintains its effect, as long as Gu Shen can pay the price, he can continuously revive—

This means that if he completes a full fusion with the Hades Fire Seed, Gu Shen will be equivalent to having an entire endless undead army by himself.

The undead transcendents under his command can continuously fight and continuously revive.

"My authority limit seems to be related to the amount of Origin Qi in the bodies of the revived."

Gu Shen commanded these ten people to remove the Heavenly Sheath Fragments from their bodies. In this process, he was also groping for his "authority."

In the past, he had neither the opportunity to exert his "authority" nor the strength to support this power.

Now at the eighth level of the Deep Sea, he can barely taste a little "sweetness."

Gu Shen discovered.

The power of the Hades Authority can certainly create miracles.

But awakening these ten people… is already the limit. It is impossible to do even one more. This is far from the legendary "undead army."

So after completing the extraction of the Heavenly Sheath Fragments, he let these "corpses" fall back down.

He activated the "authority" on another area of the Corpse Collection Ground, and this time only six corpses stood up.

"Tier 4… Wang Xiu."

Gu Shen frowned, looking at the six people who stood up, five Tier 3 and one Tier 4.

The corpses of high-level transcendents were placed at the end. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

The power of "authority" has an upper limit.

The stronger his own power, the stronger the "authority" he uses will naturally be, but each time he awakens a "dead person," it will take up a certain amount of "authority space." The space occupied by a Tier 4 transcendent is larger than that of a Tier 3.

"…Fall down."

Gu Shen's thoughts swept across. Except for Wang Xiu, all the other five Tier 3 people fell down. He came to the place where the corpses of Tier 4 transcendents were placed. A total of seven Tier 4 people were killed in this mission.

"Stand up."

His authority was activated again.

Among the seven people, only two stood up…

"I can exert my authority to the fullest and summon ten 'Tier 3'… but the weight of these ten 'Tier 3' is equivalent to three 'Tier 4'?"

Gu Shen's idea was confirmed.

No matter how powerful the Hades Authority is, it must follow some iron rules. His "spiritual sea" has a limited capacity, and the total amount of undead he can summon is that much.

"So… I must cultivate in the future, constantly expand my spiritual sea, absorb Origin Qi, in order to summon more 'revived' ones."

Gu Shen's heart was calm, and he sat down cross-legged.

Another confusion surfaced in his mind.

….“Is the strength of these people after revival related to my current realm?”

If the reason why these people's strength declines is because his own strength is here.

The "Pure Land" and the "Hades Authority" cannot accommodate a Lord.

Then, if he becomes a Lord in the future and then summons "undead," does it mean… that their strength after revival will be improved compared to the current stage?

"The situation of the Hades Authority is a bit complicated."

Gu Shen sorted out his thoughts. The exploration of the Fire Seed power is destined to be a long process.

He is not in a hurry.

While groping for the Hades Authority, he extracted the Heavenly Sheath Fragments… One after another, the "high-risk criminals" stood up. They briefly gained life, acted as free laborers, and cleaned up the Heavenly Sheath Fragments on their bodies, including their severed limbs, and then lay back down again.

This scene looked a bit strange.

But it was also a bit… absurd and ridiculous.

These guys who didn't obey anyone when they were alive became extremely honest after death.

After doing all this, Gu Shen stood up.

Now, only the final finishing work is left.

These corpses are of no summoning value. They are all tundra criminals. After they are killed, the Nagano Enforcement Team must conduct a burning confirmation. Their greatest value is to be eaten by the blazing fire before their Origin Qi dissipates.

"Blazing Fire… Devour the Origin Qi of these people."

Gu Shen closed the Divine Vestige Silver box.

Then he left the Corpse Collection Ground without looking at the "explosion" behind him.

The fire was blazing.

Brilliant like a tide.
