Chapter 327

~5 min read 895 words

Gu Chen took action to erase the autonomous machines and monster tides on the Sumeru land.

Now, all that remains in Sumeru is the Forbidden Knowledge that is countless times more serious than it was hundreds of years ago.

Knowledge that cannot be understood entering the mind will make people go crazy.

Gu Chen and Buer know the harm of Forbidden Knowledge, and they know even more how terrifying the Forbidden Knowledge that erupted this time is.

Although the Forbidden Knowledge that erupted last time was terrifying, it was suppressed by King Deshret and did not spread too far.

And this time, even if King Deshret were resurrected, he could not suppress this Forbidden Knowledge for even a moment!

On the once dreamlike Irminsul, black spots and threads were permeating.

They seemed to be living things, spreading on their own.

In Gu Chen's view, Forbidden Knowledge is a disease.

The world is rejecting it.

This is like a virus entering the body, and the body will also react.

If these viruses are not completely cleared, then the person will get sick, and it will become more and more serious.

Gu Chen's five fingers had already sunk into the trunk of the Irminsul, leaving only the back of his hand.

Now the back of his hand had also been contaminated by the deepness, and the entire arm was surrounded by black ominousness.

More and more Forbidden Knowledge was being absorbed by Gu Chen.

Forbidden Knowledge that is as immeasurable as the sea cannot be expelled.

But Gu Chen has his own way.

The blackness surged into his arm as if it had drilled into Gu Chen's flesh and bones.

The pain like steel needles pricking filled his arm.

Gu Chen's consciousness was pulled, and in his ears were endless whispers.

He was like standing beside a cliff, with a bottomless abyss beneath his feet.

And these Forbidden Knowledge were constantly urging, inducing, and forcing Gu Chen to jump into the bottomless abyss.

The blackness followed the veins of the blood vessels in his body to his internal organs.

Gu Chen only felt a turmoil in his body.

Sometimes it was like ten thousand ants biting his heart, sometimes it was like a heavy hammer hitting him.

Gu Chen felt that he had fallen into the water, and he was struggling constantly in the water.

The water flowed into his lungs through his nasal cavity and throat, pouring all the way in and starting to churn.

Gu Chen was in a daze for a moment.

A soft palm with faint warmth was placed on his back, and the majestic life force was flowing.

"Don't continue anymore, okay?"

"This is my mission..."

Buer choked up.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Gu Chen glanced at her and said: "The past no longer counts, I don't want to use that cup of water to put out the fire!"

"But that fire is burning what you need to survive... Even if you don't want to, that cup of water is destined to be spilled."

Buer sobbed.

Gu Chen felt the change in her temperament.

She was no longer that childish Lord of Wisdom, nor that lively young girl, but a true God of Wisdom who was near all-knowing and all-powerful!

"Buer!"

Gu Chen said in a deep voice.

Buer's consciousness reconnected to the Irminsul.

"Just by borrowing the wisdom of the people of Sumeru, we can settle all of this." Buer said with her head down.

Gu Chen reached out and pinched her chin, forcibly lifting her face, and saw endless reluctance and regret.

Gu Chen's expression was indifferent, his voice calm: "Where does Forbidden Knowledge come from?"

"Outside the world, in the abyss." Buer answered subconsciously.

"Where do I come from?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"Outside the world..."

Buer seemed to think of something and shook her head repeatedly: "No, it cannot be like this!"

"Buer, I know what you want to do."

Gu Chen sighed and pointed his index finger at Buer's brow.

Spiritual light bloomed.

This light surpassed all colors in the world.

Infinite great power descended invisibly.

The connection between Buer and the Irminsul was severed again.

Buer felt her whole body lighten.

Having her consciousness connected to the Irminsul, she had long been polluted by Forbidden Knowledge, but at this moment, she seemed to have been cleansed, clear inside and out, feeling light all over.

But Buer could not be happy.

"We are too tacit; I know you just want to use the wisdom of the people of Sumeru and then contribute all your power to clear the Forbidden Knowledge."

"Indeed, this method has great hope!"

"But don't forget! Your consciousness is connected to the Irminsul. To completely eradicate Forbidden Knowledge, you first need to eradicate yourself!!"

Buer said weakly: "I know... as long as I let everyone forget me, it will be fine..."

"No one will be willing to forget you!" Gu Chen said in a deep voice.

"Just break off the purest branch from the Irminsul, and I will grow back in a few years!" Buer's expression was serious.

"Just a similar flower after all." Gu Chen said indifferently.

Buer froze and could not speak.

Gu Chen looked down at the blackness that was about to cover his whole body and said: "We don't have much time left." ===== CHAPTER 329 =====
