Chapter 1357 New Secrets

“There is a great loss of life.”

The Will of the Earth spoke these chilling words in a calm tone.

"In that case, how about letting me help you solve the problem of the negative energy sea riot right now? The earlier it is discovered, the earlier it will be solved, so that things won't become serious before we deal with it."

Gu Chen frowned and asked proactively.

It would have been fine if the problem had not been discovered, but now that it has been discovered, it is of course better to solve it as soon as possible.

However, in response to Gu Chen's request, the Earth's Will shook its head.

"No, now is not the time to use you. Everything is still under my control. I called you here just because you are my backup means."

The Will of the Earth said coldly, and looked at Gu Chen with a rare vigilant look, as if Gu Chen's active request was intended to harm him.

Gu Chen was completely confused by the vigilant look of the Earth Will.

It was you who asked me for help. Now I am just planning to help you solve the crisis that has not yet broken out just in case. Why are you still looking at me with such vigilance?

Not understanding the circuitry of the Earth's will, Gu Chen simply asked back: "Why? What are you wary of me for? Am I not your chosen Earth messenger? Are you still worried that I might harm you?"

Contrary to Gu Chen's expectations, the Earth Will nodded immediately after hearing this.

Immediately, Gu Chen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "What do you mean? I just helped you absorb some of the turbulent negative energy sea, how can it be considered that I want to harm you?"

"This involves the issue of authority! You already have the light of the sky, ocean, and earth that I have bestowed upon you. If I allow you to absorb negative energy and gain some of that authority, you will be able to threaten my existence without causing any harm to the Earth."

The will of the earth is also sincere and directly points out the key points.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows immediately raised. He didn't expect that this actually involved the issue of power, and he didn't expect that after such a long time, the Earth's Will would actually not trust him as the Earth's messenger.

"People's hearts are too complicated. I can't guarantee it."

The Earth Will shook its head, then stretched out its finger and pointed it at Gu Chen's forehead, and a picture appeared in Gu Chen's mind.

That was something that happened on Earth an unknown amount of time ago. At that time, the intelligent life on Earth was not human, nor was it Nongmalt, but a race that Gu Chen had never known.

Their tribe was favored by the will of the Earth at that time. Not only did they become beings bound to the will of the Earth, but the will of the Earth also chose one from the tribe as the Earth Messenger to resist various threats from outside the Earth.

At first, the Earth messenger did play a role in resisting various threats from outside the Earth, allowing the Earth civilization to stand tall among the interstellar spaces.

As time went by, the crisis facing the earth became greater and greater. At that time, it seemed that there was no threat from the Kingdom of Light, so the Earth Will had to continue to strengthen the capabilities of the Earth's messengers to resist the increasingly powerful crisis.

As things developed to this point, the Earth's messenger, whose power was constantly growing, suddenly challenged the Earth's will after gaining a lot of power, wanting to replace the Earth's will.

Needless to say, the consequences of doing so were obvious. In the end, the Earth messenger failed, and the Earth civilization at that time also perished. However, the Earth's will also paid a huge price for this and had to fall into a deep sleep.

The Earth civilization will thus withdraw from the interstellar stage and will become the target of occupation by major cosmic forces for some time to come.

As time passed and years passed, the situation in the universe also underwent earth-shaking changes, and eventually evolved into the pattern that Gu Chen is familiar with today.

The star region where the Earth is located has also become a remote star region in the Milky Way. Gradually, not many cosmic forces have paid attention to it. It was only in recent years that it has gradually come into the sight of other cosmic forces.

After watching the images shown to him by the Will of the Earth, Gu Chen understood why the Will of the Earth wanted to be wary of him as the Earth's messenger. He also understood why he had never heard of the deeds of the Earth's messenger until now. It turned out to be because the Will of the Earth had suffered betrayal from the messenger it had designated.

Gu Chen didn't know what to say about this. Trust is something that is difficult to build, but very easy to destroy.

Having tasted betrayal, the will of the Earth will obviously not trust anyone easily anymore.

"If that's the case, then why did you look for me as a backup plan?"

After digesting the message conveyed by the Earth's will, Gu Chen asked again.

"Because if things develop to the point where even I can't control it, then I will also suffer a huge backlash. At that time, no matter if you have such thoughts or not, I will be powerless to resist, so I choose to just take a gamble."

The Earth Will did not hide anything from Gu Chen in this regard and answered directly.

"Then you told me so much, aren't you afraid that I will have some ideas because of it, even though I didn't have any ideas originally?"

Gu Chen asked rhetorically.

"Don't be afraid, because by that time, even if you replace me and become the new will of the Earth, the rioting dark energy will cause you a lot of pain, and there is a high probability that you will fall into a deep sleep. Besides, the fact that I have existed for so long means that I naturally have the means to counter it, but it doesn't mean that you will definitely succeed."

The Will of the Earth just looked at Gu Chen with some caution. It did not conclude that Gu Chen would do anything bad to It because of what Gu Chen said, but it did not trust Gu Chen more because of this either.

After listening to the words of the Earth's Will, Gu Chen finally understood that this was a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who didn't know how to appreciate a good person's kindness.

At that moment, Gu Chen didn't say much and just remained silent.

The actions of the Earth's will forced him to prepare for the worst.

Apparently, the negative energy monsters during Eddie’s time were the result of a riot in the sea of ​​negative energy.

I just don't know whether it is a means of calming the situation under the control of the Earth's will, or a manifestation of things being out of the control of the Earth's will.

Seeing that Gu Chen had nothing to say, the Will of the Earth also said nothing. With a wave of its hand, Gu Chen's consciousness returned to his body.

Seeing the scene in front of him and returning to his familiar office, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Alas..."

Then, he closed his eyes and contacted Dark Tiga, and synchronized what the Earth's will told him.

After a while, in the consciousness space, Gu Chen's original body and his two clones fell into silence.

At the same time, under the earth, two monsters that contain all the darkness on Earth are gradually waking up from their slumber.
