Chapter 1227 The End is Approaching, The Last Day
Over the next half hour, the Duke of Wuwei coughed several more times, with the frequency increasing. Amidst this constant coughing, Gu Xiu finally grasped the general situation facing Wuwei City.
The Holy Light of Wuwei City.
It was created at the beginning of the year 30,000 years ago and has been preserved to this day without being extinguished.
People praise the beginning of the year for making the Holy Light immortal, but few know that, in reality, although the methods of the beginning of the year are ingenious, the immortality of the Holy Light has never been truly achieved.
Holy Light is like a real living being.
From birth to death, then to rebirth, and then to extinction again, it is itself a continuous cycle like life.
Theoretically speaking, the core of Saint Mang has a maximum lifespan of no more than ten thousand years from its inception.
At the beginning of the year, a masterpiece of craftsmanship was created, resulting in the Ghostly Craft Sphere, specifically designed to store the core of the Holy Light. Yes, it was the very Ghostly Craft Sphere that Gu Xiu had seen. This was an extremely special object, combined with the divine methods of the Mohist school and various rare materials, which served to delay the aging and death of the Holy Light's origin.
but……
Even if it's delayed further, 30,000 years is still an extremely long period of time. In fact, according to Wuwei Gong's guess, the lifespan of the Holy Light Origin will come to an end in less than half a year.
Not to mention last night, the Ghost Ball exploded.
The Holy Light Source was rapidly weakening, at an alarming rate. When Gu Xiu saw the Holy Light Source, he discovered that the white flower, which had looked normal yesterday, now had visible signs of decay.
According to Wuwei Gong's calculations, the Holy Light Origin in this form will die completely within ten days at most.
In fact, it's not just Wuwei City.
The twelve cities of the Ziwei Enclosure were all in similar situations.
In fact, Nan Jun's eagerness to destroy Wuwei City and seize the origin of the Holy Light Core was to merge it with the Holy Light Core of his own city, so that he could extend his life for a few more months.
"In fact, not only the Southern Lord, but the Northern Lord also has the same plan, as do the other neutral cities."
"It's rumored that the reason why the Twelve Cities of Ziwei Yuan want to settle the score before the Haoyu passage opens is because the Haoyu is about to open. That's not wrong, but what's more important is that the Holy Light Source of the Twelve Cities of Ziwei Yuan has basically reached the end of its lifespan."
"Actually, Wuwei City is considered good. If the Ghost Craft Sphere hadn't broken, it could have lasted for about half a year. Some cities wouldn't have lasted more than a month. But now, it's no longer possible to stop the aging of the Holy Light Core. The first city to be destroyed by the Purple Star Enclosure is still Wuwei City."
"Actually, there's no need for you, Haoyu, to risk your lives in the Sea of Sin when you're fighting against us, Sanyuan. You just need to do your best to block the exit. It won't take too long, at most a year. There might not be more than three cities left in Ziwei Yuan that can survive."
At this point, Duke Wuwei coughed violently again.
This time, he even coughed up some fragments of internal organs, which was horrifying to watch, yet also heartbreaking.
His strength is beyond doubt. In addition, Wuwei City can still hold out for another six months. After six months, he may even be able to find a way to lead all the people in Wuwei City to migrate to Haoyu.
but now.
All is gone.
The Holy Light Source can only last for ten days at most, and whether he, the city lord, can live for another ten days is also a question.
After listening to his story, Gu Xiu guessed his thoughts: "The reason you proposed that I become the city lord is because you think I have the means to return to Haoyu? Or even lead people out of the Sea of Sin and to Haoyu?"
"Yes." Duke Wuwei did not deny it:
“I know that people from Haoyu don’t have a good impression of cities like Wuwei City, and may even think that such places are dirty and filthy. The turmoil in the city last night should have given you a more direct understanding of the situation.”
"But in my opinion, the people living in Wuwei City are actually very good. They are often out of control, not because they want to be, but because the power of the Sea of Sin is constantly eroding them."
"So I thought, I should give Wuwei City a way out."
His eyes were full of hope, hoping to see a miracle, but unfortunately, Gu Xiu was destined to disappoint him: "My method of coming to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin is very special, and I have no way to return to Haoyu from the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin now."
The Duke of Wuwei's eyes dimmed instantly.
Gu Xiu then asked, "If we can recreate the Ghost Craft Ball, it should last for a few more months without any problem, right?"
“If it could really be made, it could indeed last longer.” Duke Wuwei nodded, but his face was full of bitterness: “But that’s impossible. The reason why Sui Xuchu was so powerful was because the Ghost Craft Ball he made could not be replicated.”
"Many people think that the most complex and difficult part of the Mohist Divine Path is the Starry Sky Divine Domain, but in fact, the pinnacle is the Ghostly Crafts Ball that can trap the core of the Holy Light."
"The Mo family's divine path currently only has half-saints, but even that half-saint is still unable to recreate the Ghost Craft Ball. It is said that each time, the Ghost Craft Ball will completely collapse before it is even halfway done."
Having said all that, Gu Xiu probably already understood where the difficulty lay.
He had seen the Ghost Crafting Ball last night. Although he hadn't observed it up close, with his skill in weapon crafting, he had a general idea of what it was like. It would indeed be extremely difficult to create such a Ghost Crafting Ball.
but……
“Perhaps I have a way to recreate the Ghostly Craft Ball,” Gu Xiu said.
"You?" Duke Wuwei was taken aback, then shook his head and said:
“That thing is already a sacred object of the Mohist Divine Path. No one but a saint of the Mohist Divine Path can forge it. I know that your Haoyu has a lineage of weapon forging, which can forge divine weapons and magical treasures, but this is different from weapon forging.”
"The most important part is not only to create the 365 layers of the Ghost Craft Ball one by one without any flaws. The more difficult part is that it also requires the blessing of divine power, and the divine power of the Mo family needs to enter it."
"This means that no matter how strong your weapon-forging skills are, you will not be able to create such a Ghostly Crafts Ball."
Duke Wuwei had once killed a powerful cultivator from the Haoyu Immortal Realm, so he knew quite a bit about Haoyu. Therefore, he directly pointed out that Gu Xiu's idea was doomed to fail.
but……
"You may not know me well enough." Gu Xiu smiled and casually waved his hand, and a large, dark forging platform immediately appeared.
This is……
Duke Wuwei suddenly remembered that he had seen Gu Xiu when Gu Xiu took him into the Mountain and River Remnant Realm.
Then Gu Xiu said, "Although my forging skills are not particularly strong, I have made some progress through unconventional means. More importantly, my friend is even more skilled in weapon crafting. Although the 365-layer Ghost Craft Ball is difficult, my friend was able to forge it."
Gu Xiu's face was full of confidence as he said this.
In fact, the moment Sui Xing saw the Ghost Craft Ball last night, he had been observing it. Even when Gu Xiu and Wu Wei were fighting, Sui Xing's attention remained on the Ghost Craft Ball.
He watched it for a while last night and then told Gu Xiu.
He can replicate the Ghost Craft Ball as long as he has enough materials!
"But have you forgotten that you are a cultivator of the spiritual energy path? Without the support of the Mo family's divine path, even if you create an identical Ghost Craft Sphere, it will not have the ability to curb the weakening of the Holy Light Core."
"I do not possess the divine power of the Mohist school, but who says that creating this thing has to be done by one person alone?"
Duke Wuwei's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean..."
Gu Xiu gave the answer: "Learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and forge together!"
