Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 23 Speaker Gu Ce

The Sky-Piercing Shuttle was prepared for Luo Feng.

Of course, you shouldn't just give it to him directly; you should put him through some small tests first.

As for the ancient civilization's gravity chamber, Hong sent someone to a designated location, and Rimuru said it could be modified.

Hong and Thor went to the Palace of War to handle matters and prepare to launch an attack on the Monster King.

After telling Hong, Gu Ce went to the training camp.

Today is February 9.

Luo Feng was in the wilderness when Gu Ce came directly in front of him.

"Gu Ce?"

Luo Feng, who was slaughtering monsters, was startled.

"Why haven't you become a War God yet?" Gu Ce asked, frowning.

"...No, I've only been in the training camp for a little over a month, should I already be a War God?" Luo Feng was somewhat taken aback by Gu Ce's question.

"You should gain more experience," Gu Ce said.

Luo Feng is the kind of person who can unleash his potential in the face of life and death. He's like a sponge; the more you squeeze him, the stronger his potential becomes, and the more water he contains.

In the training camp, there were too few times to face life-or-death crises. With Luo Feng's strength as a high-level warrior-level mentalist, he was virtually invincible as long as he didn't provoke lord-level monsters.

"Do you want to speed up the process of becoming stronger?" Gu Ce asked.

"Is that okay?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

"Of course, I will grant you exclusive access to the ancient civilization's gravity chamber, as well as some plant spirits," Gu Ce chuckled. "What you need to do is simple: either kill a lord-level monster solo at the high-level warrior level, or master the third level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade before October 1st, and I will provide you with a portion of dragon blood and a psychic weapon."

"So, are you confident you can do it?"

"..." Luo Feng hesitated for a long time and pondered.

Gu Ce didn't urge him, but watched quietly.

"I promise you." Luo Feng finally agreed.

Gu Ce nodded in satisfaction, turned and left, leaving Luo Feng with a dashing silhouette.

"Gu Ce, why are you helping him?" Rimuru's voice rang out, asking curiously.

"I suppose this is my contribution to the human race." High in the sky, Gu Ce looked down at Luo Feng from behind the clouds.

"Human race?" Rimuru was taken aback again.

"It's nothing, let's go. I know a place where there are still well-preserved spaceships." Gu Ce suddenly burst out and left the spot.

……

In the Bronze City.

Gu Hechang was severely injured at this time, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He could barely stand on the ground by supporting his body with the Longevity Sword.

This isn't a pharmaceutical factory at all; I think it's an arms factory!

Gu Hechang really wanted to curse.

It's only because he's quite strong that he survived; otherwise, he probably would have died at the hands of those traps.

This bronze city is riddled with traps and mechanisms; rather than a pharmaceutical factory or an arms factory, it is more like a large warehouse.

Spirits of plants and trees, strangely shaped medicines, and all sorts of weapons can be found here.

Of course, there are definitely dangers involved.

The Bronze City can be roughly divided into three areas: the medicinal herbs area, the weapons area, and the books area.

Each area has different agencies, arranged in order.

The traps in the medicinal herb area pose the lowest threat level. If you only explore the outer perimeter, even a warrior of the general level can withstand the traps. Once you reach the inner perimeter, as long as you don't go to the very deepest part, even a war god won't have much of a problem.

Upon reaching the weapons area, the outer traps already posed a certain threat to even War God-level warriors. In the inner area, War God-level warriors had to be fully focused, as the slightest carelessness could result in their immediate demise under the traps.

For example, those two mid-level war gods from the Xu and Wang families died in this way.

Gu Hechang had never been to the book section, nor did he dare to.

The three members of the Glory Legion got separated as soon as they came in; it's unknown whether they're dead or alive.

Once you enter this passage, it seems to be a maze, forcibly separating people.

Gu Hechang only saw the two unfortunate men after arriving at the weapons area, and he also witnessed their deaths.

The weapons section's mechanisms were activated by those two unlucky guys, and a mechanical guard with power surpassing that of a war god began to roam not far from Gu Hechang.

Gu Hechang huddled in a corner, praying that the guy outside would leave quickly.

"Uncle? Do you need help?"

Gu Hechang was taken aback.

……

April 10st morning.

Inside the Palace of the God of War.

Hong and Thor appeared here at the same time, and all the other speakers and members of parliament were also present.

In addition, most of the War Gods also received the notification and entered the War God Palace together.

"What happened? Why are so many people here?"

"I don't know? Could it be an announcement about hope Yao? Is there a new councilor?"

"I think something big is about to happen."

"Stop arguing, Hong is here."

"I have gathered you all here today to announce two things!" Hong said slowly as he stood on the stage, and the audience fell silent instantly.

"The first thing we need to do is welcome a new member of the War God Palace, and also the newly appointed Third Speaker, Gu Ce!"

"What?"

"Gu Ce, which Gu Ce?"

"Isn't the third speaker Merhandsen?"

The crowd below instantly erupted in chaos.

The American warriors were puzzled and looked at Mohandson, but none of them uttered a word of rebuttal. They just stood there with stiff expressions.

Gu Ce appeared before everyone with a smile and greeted them.

"It really is him, Gu Ce from the Gu family. Isn't he only sixteen this year?"

"Third on Earth at sixteen, wow!"

"Thankfully, we didn't offend him before!"

"My daughter isn't married yet, so I'll have her get along well with Gu Ce."

"Your daughter is already in her forties! My granddaughter is only fourteen..."

"The decision to appoint Gu Ce as the third speaker was made jointly by the five speakers and members of parliament, and it cannot be challenged," Hong said calmly.

There's no point in trying to refute it.

In the past few days, Thor invited them, and Gu Ce beat them up one by one. Even when they attacked together, they couldn't even touch the hem of Gu Ce's clothes.

Do you think they would dare to argue with that?

"The second thing," Hong paused, looking down, "is about the safety of each and every one of us, and even of humanity."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and focused intently on what was above.

"Could it be?" Jia Yi's eyes lit up, but he was still not sure.

"After discussion, we've decided to launch a full-scale attack on the monsters in seven days, on October 8th. The three of us—Thor, Gu Ce, and I—will hold off the Monster King, while the other council members will be responsible for dealing with and resisting the monster tide. They'll come to help after the three of us have dealt with the Monster King!"

"This battle will reclaim Earth from humankind's grasp! It will usher in a new era for humanity!"

"Great!" Jia Yi shouted, responding first.

As the highest-ranking officer in the Chinese military, he had witnessed too many soldiers' life-and-death separations. Since the Great Nirvana, countless people had died at the hands of monsters, and humanity had been forced to retreat to base cities, while constantly being on guard against the formation of beast tides.

The monster killed too many people!

Now that there is hope of ending the chaos, how could Jia Yi not be happy?

Others responded to the call, for since the Great Nirvana, Earthlings had suffered greatly from monsters, and now they finally saw hope for a counterattack!

"Very good, all of you go back and prepare, and take measures to defend against the beast tide!" Hong said.

Everyone nodded, logged off, and spread the exciting news.
