Chapter 1 Wandering in a Golden Dream

Ripples of golden dreams spread.

Bai Xiu stepped into the range of the Love Master's throne. A fierce wind surged in the dream, as if a thousand layers of gauze enveloped him.

In just an instant, the Love Master's skeletal remains on the throne seemed to come alive.

The pressure from the spiritual sea suddenly increased! Bai Xiu groaned.

He stopped there, staring intently at the "Love Master" who had been dead for many years. The throne was surrounded by fierce winds. A sharp sword hung above the Love Master's head. The Fire Seed had been extinguished, but its master's will still remained.

"Those who come, halt."

The four light words carried an irresistible divine power.

Bai Xiu stood before the throne. The moment he saw the Love Master... the "delusion" in his heart was completely shattered.

This Fire Seed was too incompatible with his [Lei Jie Xing Zhe].

This battle was always Qinglong's inner shadow, so before he melted the Sky Fire Seed, Lower City in Zhongzhou absolutely would not allow thunderstorms to appear.

Once the master returned, even if he was in Afu, he would still be found.

Presumably Bai Xiu had already made his own choice.

Bai Xiu floated over very anxiously, inquiring about the result.

Guarding such a young age in the Initial Ship, it was waiting for someone to break through that spiritual barrier.

Bai Xiu's eyes regained their calm.

With just that one sentence, Lai Shu felt that all his efforts were worthwhile.

A gentle laughter came from the Ice Sea.

It dared not set foot in the dream because it dared not believe that the Love Master was really dead.

And that extinguished sword made him want to get away as soon as possible... This was not the place he should be.

Rumble! "Alfred." The golden veil churned. Lai Shu shook his head with a wry smile.

The throne murmured softly, uttering those words, and Bai Xiu looked blank.

But once he entered the [Old World]

He might completely miss it.

After many years of going around in circles, the humans who fled back then had returned to the starting point.

And the Lord of Melting Iron, who set off earliest, and the other leaders, might have stopped somewhere during the long migration.

So why had he never stepped into that dream?

"Senior... I want to try to pull out that sword."

"Leave... no, I can't leave..." As soon as these words came out.

But there was no such option in the program settings left by the master, so it could only savor the deepest bitterness of the human heart at this moment, but could not cry out a single sound.

The woman was draped in golden light, her holiness impossible to look upon directly. She maintained a posture of propping her elbow, elegant and lazy, as if she had just woken up from a long afternoon nap.

Lai Shu opened his mouth in a daze: "My lord, how should I find it?"

So it was willing to wait in Lai Shu, even if it moved its position, it would not move too far.

The brilliance reflected on Bai Xiu's screen stagnated for a moment. "So, you are willing to leave the East Sea with me...

To go to the Northern Fortress and take a look?"

This wait was too long, too agonizing.

Now that things were no longer what they used to be, it watched as Fire Seed leaders, no weaker than its master in those days, emerged in the Five Continents.

Gu Shen told him about Qinglong's past.

He took a deep breath, withstood the enormous pressure, raised his head, and looked up at the woman on the throne with difficulty.

Lai Shu squeezed out a bitter voice, looking at the Ice Sea. The pressure produced there made it impossible to set foot.

The throne also keenly sensed the change in Lai Shu's emotions. After a long wait, this AI had evolved "humanity." When mentioning Extinguished Candle, the small cuboid was stunned in place for a few seconds.

The Love Master smiled. She looked at Lai Shu gently, "You have always been guarding me. Although you can't see the outside world clearly... but I can feel these years of guarding. You have always been by my side."

If he pulled out the sword.

Golden light would emerge from the skeletal remains.

There was only one piece of land in the Five Continents.

This peerless genius, who seemed to hold the position of "the number one on the divine throne," had actually lost a battle many years ago, and it was a crushing defeat.

"Named Extinguished Candle Bow." The throne said softly, "It has long been lost in the unknown corners of the world.

...That's right."

"Why don't you go and see the dream of the 'Love Master'?"

It was very capable, so of course it understood what the Love Master meant by "no need to wait anymore."

Nearly a thousand years ago, Originium storms were no longer raging in this sea area.

So it would most likely be crushed in an instant. "I..."

"No need to wait foolishly anymore."

"This is the divine artifact forged by my master, and it is also one of his most proud works!

The Love Master said irritably: "So, you have come to the wrong place. The thing you should be doing is not 'pulling out the sword', but finding the bow. The Love Fire Seed is not what can really help you."

The Love Master smiled faintly: "So, there is no need to wait anymore... Take the Initial Ship and find that 'sword-pulling person'." "Of course!"

She looked at the young woman in front of her from a distance of ten meters and asked softly, "You also want to pull out the sword..."

"Everyone will die, I will die, and so will he." "Bow?"

"The Love Master's dream... is not a place you can step into..."

The throne's eyes became muddy and hesitant. "Are you... of course I'm afraid."

What did that sentence mean? But he did not leave.

The throne patted the small cuboid lightly.

Bai Xiu's eyes flashed with excited red light: "What did she say to you?"

Lai Shu said cautiously: "When Extinguished Candle was lost back then, there was a high probability that it flowed out from the Northern Continent. There might be some clues left there."

Those years of waiting in Afu.

Bai Xiu stood some distance away from the throne.

At that moment, it wanted to cry loudly.

"The Love Master is very gentle. The spirit she left behind gave Gu Shen a hint, and also gave you a hint."

"You are afraid of death?" The throne continued to ask: "Or rather... will you die?"

Since he was not afraid of death.

At that moment, the throne was completely stunned. He held it up to the golden dream.

The Love Master said softly: "Why did you only come today?" All along, only she called her full name like that. And Bai Xiu was still waiting for the master to return.

AI could not shed tears.

But as far as Bai Xiu was concerned, he really didn't have a better way. There were no Fire Seeds left in the Five Continents. Even if the Love Master's Fire Seed power was not suitable for him, he wanted to give it a try.

Lai Shu rarely became interested: "What bow?" The bow that injured Qinglong back then.

According to Gu Shen's conjecture, the whole world was very likely a sphere.

A mechanical murmuring sound, filled with joy and sadness, echoed in the main hall.

The [Old World] was too big.

"Extinguished Candle last appeared...

It was a hundred years ago." Upon hearing the words Extinguished Candle.

"Extinguished Candle.

The Love Master said softly: "That guy, he won't be back."

The Lord of Melting Iron must not have imagined that Bai Xiu would guard this for nearly a thousand years.

But the throne looked at the small cuboid shaking in the air, and it really saw Bai Xiu's sadness.

"I said you came to the wrong place, you shouldn't come to pull out the sword, but you should go find the bow."

He looked at Bai Xiu and said, "You saw the spirit left by the 'Love Master'. After so many years... it seems that she has not completely dissipated."

The throne was in a trance as it exited the golden dream.

The original intention of this code was to allow Bai Xiu to protect the Initial Ship in the era when the Originium storm was raging, and not to float to the surface in order to catch up with the large army, so as to be destroyed by the storm...

Bai Xiu suddenly realized a very important thing. Bai Xiu's eyes became excited.

Those people used power that came from the Gospel Box back then...

Bai Xiu looked blankly at the woman on Lai Shu.

It was an AI, a program, an ethereal spirit. The small cuboid was just its carrier. The golden dream could crush its carrier, but with just a thought, it could create a new carrier.

You recalled the last meeting, and then gently wrote the person's name in the void with your fingers.

The ending of starship civilization need not be said much. Upon hearing the words leave.

If he could make a choice.

Back then, the master left his home and left Afu with other leaders to find an oasis... leaving the Initial Ship in place to stand by. Everything else was taken away.

Bai Xiu had nothing to say. "My name is, Gu Shen."

The throne murmured softly. He looked at the Ice Sea woman in confusion. Back then, Qinglong was seriously injured by an arrow from [Lei Jie Xing Zhe]. This passage sounded crazy. No one could live for nearly a thousand years.

Bai Xiu looked at Lai Shu, its tone very confused.

But regardless of whether it was Gu Shen or Lai Shu, the "Love Master" they saw before stepping into the dream triggered different dialogues based on the different situations of the two.

Now, with the appearance of the throne, the Love Master pointed out the information about Extinguished Candle, allowing it to see another kind of hope.

Able to get closer on its own.

Bai Xiu suddenly raised his voice. Immediately afterwards, the small cuboid summoned a holographic projection in the bronze main hall. On it was an ancient longbow. Although it was old, the large bow on the holographic projection still made people feel shocked. This was a level of extraordinary craftsmanship that far exceeded the civilization of the Five Continents. Every detail of the large bow was full of tension.

If he could find "Extinguished Candle," wouldn't he be able to find the traces of migration left by the master back then when he followed the masses?

"Perhaps, you can go see 'you' who have been guarding for many years."

"Guarding the Initial Ship... is my duty. I have to wait for the master's return, and wait for the removal of the 'Love Master' spiritual illusion."

It wasn't that Bai Xiu hadn't thought about going out to look for it, but the world was so big, how should it find it? What if the Lord of Melting Iron returned as soon as it left, and it missed the "meeting"? What should it do then?

The bronze main hall was capable of wind. Bai Xiu hovered behind the layers of golden gauze, looking blankly at the Ice Sea on the skeletal remains. At that moment, it made its own choice... The small cuboid slowly flew into the golden dream realm. The vast wind enveloped it. In the end, it saw the Lai Shu woman who was "so close, yet so far away."

Rustling.

If someone told it that the God of Melting Iron and Craftsman was dead, then it would be angry, it would be crazy, it would launch an attack until the other party apologized and admitted their mistake... But the person who said these words was none other than the Love Master.

"I said you came to the wrong place, you shouldn't come to pull out the sword, but you should go find the bow."

He looked at Bai Xiu and said, "You saw the spirit left by the 'Love Master'. After so many years... she doesn't seem to have completely dissipated."

The throne entered and exited the golden dream in a trance.

The original intention of that code was to allow Bai Xiu to protect the Initial Ship in the era when Originium storms were raging, and not to surface in order to catch up with the large troops, so as to be destroyed by the storm...

Bai Xiu suddenly realized a very important thing. Bai Xiu's eyes became excited.

Those people were using powers that came from the Ark of the Covenant back then...

Bai Xiu looked blankly at the woman on Lai Shu.

It was an AI, a program, an ethereal spirit. The small cuboid was just its carrier. The golden dream could crush its carrier, but with just a thought, it could create a new carrier.

You recalled the last meeting, and then gently wrote the person's name in the void with your fingers.
