Chemical reactions and energy changes

Nepal, Lobuche C2 Camp

Xie Chen pressed his body firmly against the mountain wall, wrapped himself tightly in his mountaineering suit, and shouted to his teammates beside him in the wind and snow: "The weather is worse than we expected. Cancel the afternoon climbing plan and set up camp immediately. If the wind is still so strong tomorrow, we will give up climbing Mount Everest and go down the mountain directly!"

"Got it!" The teammate's voice was dispersed by the wind and snow, and it seemed a little unreal: "This damn weather, didn't the guide tell us before we went up the mountain that there would be no extreme weather recently, and it was suitable for climbing to the summit?"

"Yes, I checked the weather forecast for several days, and it said there would be no storms these days, which is very suitable for hiking."

"The weather in the mountains is changeable. We are climbing Mount Everest! Even guides and machines cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. Stop complaining and save some energy for work."

The cold wind hits my body, leaving a stinging pain like a knife cutting. No matter how thick the winter clothes are, they cannot stop the cold from penetrating into my bones.

Xie Chen rubbed his arms vigorously through his clothes to warm up his stiff arms. Although he spoke the words of comfort to his teammate without hesitation, as a member of the mountaineering team, how could Xie Chen not know the depression and regret in his heart. They had been preparing for this mountaineering for several months.

If you fail and return, I don’t know how long I will have to wait for the next time.

He looked unwillingly at the distance covered by the blizzard. Only the faint outlines of Lhotse and Makalu were left. Further up, their destination, the top of Mount Everest was clearly visible, seemingly shining with white light.

Xie Chen blinked hard, suspecting that he was blinded by the wind and snow and was having an illusion.

When he looked towards the top of the mountain again, the faint white light had disappeared, and endless white enveloped everything.

"Captain, what are you looking at? Come and help me put up the tent first!"

The voice of the teammate sounded from a distance.

“…Oh, here it comes!”

It must be an illusion.

Xie Chen thought to himself, and with regret he stopped looking at the top of the mountain and threw himself into the busy work in the camp.

Such scenes appeared in various camps near Mount Everest. The sudden snowstorm disrupted their climbing plan. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the stronger the storm became. They had to stop and wait for the snowstorm to dissipate.

If there is a brave warrior who ignores the white mist turned from the wind and snow and persists in climbing to the summit, when he passes through the vast mist, the wind and snow will disappear in an instant, and he will see twenty-five people sitting cross-legged, floating above Mount Everest.

The weather results calculated by experienced guides and technology are not easily wrong. The cause of this sudden storm came from Class 9.

In order to prevent climbers from entering this area, Yu Zhi deliberately controlled the wind and snow, and cooperated with Xiao Shichuan to cast a barrier, forming an isolation circle around the top of the phantom mountain.

A day had passed since they stepped into here.

Since this operation was hastily prepared and was not in Class 9's original expectations, they did not have time to make careful arrangements. Everyone knew that the current choice would make everything done by those students who tried to conceal their identities ineffective.

But at this point, there is no point in worrying about these things.

Initially, they chose to conceal their identities in order to reduce their own troubles and to vacillate between the Earth and Parnaki camps.

Especially for someone like Ovina who has made a career for herself in Parnaki, in the first three months of her time travel, which is more important, this homeland where she has only lived for seventeen years, or her country and subjects who she has carefully managed for five hundred years? Although Ovina did not say it, the balance in her heart was tilted.

How can five hundred years of time, good or bad, be easily erased? Moreover, their every bit is preserved there, including sorrow and joy.

But now, spending time with family and friends has made this resolute heart waver. They can't help but let the scale in their hearts tilt towards the earth again and again.

More and more students have chosen to remain neutral, willing to give everything for the balance and peace of the two worlds. In this case, those concerns and worries seem insignificant.

But in order to leave themselves a way out, just in case, they told a little lie in front of their families, saying that the school had arranged another training camp and they would have to live together for a period of time.

As for the official side, Lin Yuan came forward and told them everything they were going to do.

The reason they acted so quickly this time was that they did not want to put the heavy pressure of two worlds on the officialdom - not to mention that they were connected by the ties between the two worlds. Even if the officialdom was more open-minded and reasonable, all the countermeasures they thought of would inevitably lean towards the side of Earth.

Taking advantage of the low temperature at the top of Mount Everest and the fact that his cell phone automatically turned off, Lin Yuan simply put these troubles behind him and pretended not to know how anxious the authorities were.

Sometimes Bai Luo's way of dealing with things is not without practicality - as long as I can't see him, I will pretend that he doesn't exist.

I don’t know how much time had passed, the golden mountain had already been illuminated by the sun, and the thick darkness glued the sky and the earth together.

Looking up at the sky, the firelight of Parnaki mixed with the starlight and turned into a river spreading in all directions.

Looking down at the earth, passing the endless snow-capped mountains, the lights of thousands of homes emit warm colors.

The homeland is above my head and under my feet, but I also share the same starry sky.

Twenty-five magic circles appeared under everyone, and the powerful magic fluctuations caused the surrounding space to distort. Twenty-five gorgeous gems gathered in front of them, turning into dazzling meteors and flying in different directions.

In an instant, Parnaky in the air no longer looked like a suspended illusion, and the highest peak of Parnaky, Mount Perseka, overlapped with the top of Mount Everest for a moment.

At this moment, all the people with magical powers raised their heads and looked at the sky with astonishment - Parnaki, who was hidden in the sky, was finally unveiled in front of people for the first time.

...

He had forgotten how long he had been walking alone in the dark.

Chaos turned into mist, covering everything.

There is no sound, no light, and no time.

He walked for a long, long time, until one day, he had a dream.

——A dream about the “future”.

“Maybe I can make this place better.”

He recalled everything in his dream and yearned for the Tao.

So he drove away the fog and divided the world into heaven and earth. He decorated the sky with stars and called for the sun and moon. He created water and air with blood and breathed the breath of life into the soil...

He imitated everything in his dream and decorated the world to make it look brand new, but his heart became increasingly empty.

This was the first time he experienced an emotion called "loneliness".

He didn't like this kind of emotion, the sadness and emptiness made him want to escape all the time.

He stripped this emotion from his body, threw it into the Far North where chaos was sealed, and put it into a deep sleep with the never-melting ice and snow.

Then he drew out twelve ribs and created twenty-four children in his own image, giving them his authority as gifts and names.

Wisdom and confusion, life and death, light and darkness, judgment and verdict, time and beauty (eternity), creation and destruction, time and space and nothingness, nature (earth) and destiny, art (peace) and war, love (desire) and precepts, sky and sea, reproduction and four seasons.

His children surrounded him, bringing him great joy.

They followed his example and created all kinds of life, and the empty world gradually became lively.

Until one day, they suddenly asked him.

"You gave us names, but we don't know your name. Can you tell me your honorific name?"

He was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed: "My dear children, I don't have a name."

"In that case, would you please allow us to name you?"

His children hugged him and spoke enthusiastically.

"Of course," he smiled.

"You are the first living being in the world. In this case, please let us call you Duriel."

“Duriel, the God of Creation?” Rui Hang, who was floating in the air as a spirit, was stunned and a little surprised: “How could I suddenly see His memory?”

But soon, Rui Hang could no longer make any sound.

Through the children's clear pupils, he saw the appearance of God in astonishment.

——Exactly the same as him.

In an instant, the surroundings returned to nothingness. Rui Hang and the souls of the twenty-four students in Class Nine stood in the darkness. Opposite them was Duriel, the "God of Creation" who had only appeared in legends in the past.

The "God of Creation" looked into Rui Hang's eyes and smiled.

"Nice to meet you, or rather...long time no see, my soul."

"What's going on? Could it be that Mr. Rui is the 'God of Creation'?"

"Oh my god, I suddenly feel like our class has become even more impressive!"

"That's the 'God of Creation'! No wonder Mr. Rui's fighting ability is so outrageous!"

"Teacher Rui is awesome!"

"From now on, when we go out, we can say that we are disciples of the 'God of Creation'!"

"All of you, be quiet!" Rui Hang turned around and glared at the students awkwardly, then said awkwardly, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Thanks to these funny guys, the originally serious scene was immediately filled with laughter, making it completely impossible for him to maintain his serious side.

"It's okay." Duriel looked at the students of Class 9 tenderly, his eyes full of love: "They are my children, how could I blame them?"

really.

Rui Hang said in his heart.

The moment he knew that he was the soul of the "Creator God", Rui Hang had a basic guess about the life stories of his classmates.

Twenty-four people, twenty-four gods, he doesn't believe that there is no connection.

In this case, the so-called "fall of gods" actually meant sending their souls into reincarnation?

Parnaki has no reincarnation, so he chose Earth?

But what is the reason? Is it for the fusion of Parnaki and the Earth?

In this case, wouldn't it be easier to stop the disaster with the body of a god? Why use such a roundabout way?

Without waiting for Rui Hang to inquire carefully, he saw the "God of Creation" gently wave his hand, and the darkness around him dissipated again, revealing a place that looked like an altar.

He and the bodies of the twenty-four people in Class 9 were lying in a disarray on the left side of the altar, while on the right side of the altar, twenty-five bodies were neatly arranged, which were exactly their bodies in Parnaki.

"Everything is in your past memories." The Creator pointed to the altar and said, "Return to your bodies."

Rui Hang nodded and wanted to say something else, but the 'God of Creation' in front of him hugged Rui Hang first, put his head next to his ear, and let out a sigh of relief like a good friend who had not seen him for many years.

"This is our first meeting, and also our last." He said with a voice that only Rui Hang could hear, full of relief: "Thank you for witnessing this world for me. From now on, everything is in your hands. My..."

Rui Hang did not hear the last two words. The next moment, the "God of Creation" suddenly dissipated. A huge amount of magic power was directly injected into everyone's bodies, pulling them towards Parnaki's body.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with our bodies on Earth?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"How about giving them all to me?" Si Jishi raised her eyebrows: "I'll make them into figurines for you~"

"I don't like this hobby, so you should let Bai Luo do it." Lin Yuan waved his hand quickly.

"Am I really a pervert?" Bai Luo glared at Lin Yuan, then looked at Rui Hang and laughed again: "Teacher Rui, how does it feel to be hugged by the 'God of Creation'? Do you feel like you have become sacred?"

"You are stupid! Teacher Rui is the 'God of Creation'. What's more, Teacher Rui is a demon. Isn't it funny to let a demon be 'sacred'?" Zhou Ruo said speechlessly.

Zhou Xun hissed and figured it out: "So, the 'God of Creation' and the 'Lord of the Demons' are the same person... Oh my goodness, if this news spreads in Parnaki, won't there be a huge uproar?"

"Let them argue. No matter how much they argue, it won't change the facts. Compared to this..." Gao Shu touched his chin: "If we are the reincarnation of the 'Twenty-Four Gods'..."

Several "holy sons" and "holy daughters" looked at the Pope, who was a high-ranking figure, and said in unison: "When we get back, we will push the statue down and replace it with my own!"

Everyone: “…”

Knowing one's identity and returning to one's original body should have been a sacred and serious matter, but with the students' words, everything seemed to become ordinary again.

Rui Hang looked at them, the corners of his mouth slowly rising.

So what if he is the "God of Creation" or the "Lord of the Demons"? He is who he is, Rui Hang, the teacher of the students and their partner.

No matter how many identities he has, it will not change their bond, nor will it change his personality.

"Speaking of which, have we overlooked something very important?" Xiao Shichuan suddenly said, "Teacher Rui is the 'God of Creation', the 'Twenty-Four Gods' are lives created by the 'God of Creation', and if we are the reincarnations of the 'Twenty-Four Gods'..."

Si Jishi looked at Rui Hang and couldn't help but call out, "Mom?"

All of Rui Hang's sighs and disappointments turned into a big eye roll: "Get lost!"
