Light Barrier

Chapter 1002

What is on the other side of the Red Lake?

No one knows the answer to this question...except Meng Xizhou.

The fog of the Red Lake didn't exist for her, so in theory, if she walked far enough, she could see the other side of the Red Lake.

In fact, there is nothing on the other side of the Red Lake.

There is only a simple wooden house.

No one would have thought that the legendary God of Light would live in such an extremely primitive building.

Meng Xizhou stopped.

She had no choice but to move on. Once she got here, she was the place closest to God.

The water of the Red Lake is immersed in countless ancient text formations.

She had a premonition that if she took another step forward... the formations in the lake would explode.

What will be the consequences of touching the restrictions imposed by the God himself?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

"Lord God."

Meng Xizhou took a breath, her voice was not loud, because she knew that the sound in the entire divine realm could be heard by the throne.

"I am coming."

After she finished speaking, she waited quietly.

The starry night was like an oil painting, with scattered rays of light falling on the lake. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the radiance blurred away——

The cabin opened.

A figure slowly opened the door. It was an old man wearing a white robe and his white hair neatly tied up. His face was very pale and his eyes were sunken.

He raised his head and looked at the world outside.

Then he lowered his head and looked at Mengxizhou above the lake in the distance.

...

...@@@@

Guangming City today is very similar to Nagano back then.

Thousands of eyes fell on this.

Meng Xizhou wanted to see the light, and everyone also wanted to see the light... What everyone was concerned about was what happened to the "disease" of the God of Light.

Before the journey to the west, many people speculated that this so-called "serious illness" was probably false.

However, there are two ways to fake it.

The longer the God of Light doesn't show up, the more people will think in the worst direction.

It is not just the large envoys coming from various continents who have this idea. Even the Holy Inquisitors within the Temple of Light will inevitably feel uneasy.

Even Meng Xizhou, who is a goddess, wants to know the answer.

And now, she already knows.

"Your body seems very weak..."

Meng Xizhou looked at the old man. It only took her a second to confirm the identity of the person in front of her.

The moment he showed up.

The countless glows of the Red Lake are surging towards the body of the God of Light. This is the power that the body of "god" possesses, which transcends any mortal realm. Even a lucky person like her who was born with the light, after the compatibility It is far from comparable to it.

The sky tonight was originally very dim.

But the old man pushed away the wooden house and stood in front of the lake. The other side of the red lake lit up, as if the sun had risen.

Compared with him, Meng Xizhou lost color.

But... nothing has changed in the starry night at this moment. After the God of Light opened the wooden door, the new sun did not appear, and the miracles did not continue.

From this point, we can judge that the old man in front of us is far from his peak.

"No one can fight time... and I am no exception."

The old man spoke again, "First of all, I am still alive...Although my condition is not good, I know everything that is happening outside. Jia Wei is dead, Gao Yu is dead, and the team sent by the temple to the ice sea has disappeared. These years I am watching everything happening in the outside world from the other side of the Red Lake, but I am just watching and not intervening."

"I can clearly hear the breathing of every creature in the divine realm."

"Many years ago, I started a long calculation. All the non-interference is to allow everything to be fixed at a specific moment."

"In my opinion, the really important thing...is for you to stand before me with determination."

"This is important, more important than everything put together."

"The reason why I don't go to see sentient beings is because I really don't have much time. My energy only allows me to do one or two things."

"If the City of Light is destined to see the sunset, then I hope that this sunset can only be seen by those standing on the other side."

He slowly moved his head and said, "That's you."

"The throne of God..."

After listening to these long words, Meng Xizhou's eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock.

"Yes, in my heart, there is no more suitable 'successor' than you."

The old man lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "When Gu Nanfeng came to Guangming City, I gave him a token. At that time, I was very optimistic about the young man named Song Ci... Unfortunately, he seemed to have no interest in Guangming City. Tinder has no interest. Picking a successor is not good news worth showing off, after all, it means I am going to die."

Meng Xizhou was silent.

After a long time, she spoke: "You mean, I will become the successor of the 'Light Fire'?"

"Yes, you will become the next God of Light."

The old man said calmly: "If there are no accidents...when I die, you will be the God of Light."

"Accident?"

Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by accident?"

"The weight of fire cannot be carried by ordinary people."

The old man lowered his eyes and said: "Even if you are born in harmony with the light and are loved by God, you may not be able to successfully smelt the 'light fire'. Not only do you need a powerful extraordinary source of support, you also need an extremely tenacious will. In addition, A little bit of luck..."

A brief pause.

The old man continued: "...only then can you become the sun."

Meng Xizhou took a deep breath and asked seriously: "So what should I do?"

"Do what you are supposed to do, do what the sun is supposed to do."

The old man chuckled and said, "Didn't you ask yourself this question countless times in the secret prison? The answer lies in your heart."

"I......"

Meng Xizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I have one more request to come to see you this time."

The old man stopped talking and looked at the woman.

Meng Xizhou said: "I hope you can open the restrictions of 【Forbidden Library】."

In the eyes of the world, the biggest miracle in Guangming City is Sunset Mountain and the Red Lake.

But actually...

Just as the temple is built around the Red Lake of Sunset Mountain, Sunset Mountain and Red Lake exist to protect the forbidden library.

There are countless books in this library.

It is said that there are answers to all the questions in the world -

As long as you are destined to this answer.

Then...you can find it in the library.

The power in 【Forbidden Library】 has nothing to do with light and fire, it belongs to the illusory "fate" and "karma".

However, the ancestor of light who first came to this ancient city 600 years ago protected it at all levels and set up countless restrictions. Only the successors of each light god have the power to open it.

"You want to open the 【Forbidden Library】..."

The old man narrowed his eyes: "I remember you went there once many years ago, and now you want to go there a second time?"

"Yes and no."

Meng Xizhou said: "I would like to ask you to open the 【Forbidden Library】 and let everyone in the world take a look."
