After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xing gradually regained consciousness.
Where am I?
Xu Xing slowly opened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in astonishment.
"Am I not at the North Pole?"
I remember that Xu Xing's last memory was of the moment he was frozen stiff.
Xu Xing was in what appeared to be a very deep canyon, and the surrounding space was not large, only about the size of a few football fields.
It was pitch black all around, and only by relying on Xu Xing's night vision could he see within a few meters.
He judged the size of the surrounding space by the echo of his voice.
Xu Xing turned his head and looked up, but all he saw was endless darkness. He could vaguely sense that he was in a huge, deep cave.
The air around me was completely different from what I experienced as a child in the Arctic Circle.
The place is filled with scorching heat and unbearable high temperatures.
Fortunately, Xu Xing was still able to endure it.
Xu Xing tried to move his body, only to find that it had already been ravaged beyond recognition.
The ice armor that Liu Changqing had made for him before was long gone and no one knew where it was.
All his clothes had disappeared, leaving him completely naked. His body was covered in dark bruises, a symptom of frostbite, with almost all of his external muscle tissue necrotic.
Xu Xing's limbs, which were originally tightly welded shut, are gradually reviving in the high-temperature environment.
After an unknown amount of time, when Xu Xing could move his arm again, he quickly checked his own space.
He breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that nothing in the space was missing, and then quickly took out a level-five crystal core to absorb, hoping to restore his energy as soon as possible.
Given his current condition, any random level 3 superhuman could probably take him down.
Gradually, Xu Xing's body began to recover, but unfortunately, the outer layer of tissue, once necrotic, was beyond repair.
The only option is to wait for the superhuman's powerful body to regenerate, like shedding its skin, until the outermost layer of skin is pushed off.
However, Xu Xing is now able to engage in some smaller activities.
Xu Xing slowly moved his body forward, wanting to explore this mysterious space thoroughly.
The further Xu Xing went, the stronger a certain feeling became in his heart.
Although it was only a few steps, the feeling was amplified rapidly.
Xu Xing is trying hard to find the source.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had stepped on something soft, like an earthworm.
Xu Xing looked down and saw a dark red, twisted tissue resembling a human blood vessel extending forward.
As Xu Xing took two more steps forward, he discovered that there were more and more of those peculiar things around him. They were deeply embedded in the earth, and then they would reassemble again, for an unknown length of time.
Meanwhile, the further in you go, the bigger these things become; the earliest ones are even thicker than Xu Xing's thigh.
The blackish-red tube appeared to be fleshy, but upon closer inspection, Xu Xing discovered that some unknown liquid was flowing inside.
"Where the hell is this?!"
Xu Xing grew increasingly terrified; this thing looked exactly like the blood vessels of some kind of creature.
Xu Xing simply couldn't imagine something with such large blood vessels.
He dared not go any further, but as soon as his body stopped, a certain call swept over him.
"Child, come here..."
"That voice again!"
Xu Xing had no choice but to continue walking forward.
"What...what is this?!"
Xu Xing walked only a hundred steps, but it felt as if he had stepped into another space.
The surroundings suddenly opened up, and a faint red light emanated from somewhere, illuminating the place.
After Xu Xing saw clearly what was in front of him, a deep sense of fear pressed down on his nerves, making it hard for him to breathe.
A fear more terrifying than death swept in.
For some inexplicable reason, Xu Xing felt the urge to escape.
In the very center, there was an enormous heart, with countless intricate blood vessels inserted into it.
The size of this heart is comparable to an entire football field.
It is beeping at a frequency of once per second.
The next instant, something suddenly sprang up from the ground, pierced Xu Xing's back, and began to deliver some kind of liquid into it.
A neutral voice, indistinguishable between male and female, resonated in Xu Xing's mind:
"My child, you've finally come."
"Who are you?" Xu Xing searched his mental world, trying to find the source of the voice and see who was controlling him.
“I… am your mother.”
"Impossible, my parents have long since passed away."
"I am indeed your mother, but of course, you all call me by another name: Earth!"
"What, Earth?"
Xu Xing was very surprised. He couldn't figure out what could control him, and he didn't think that the owner of the voice was Earth.
After all, no one would believe that the land beneath their feet, where they have lived for so many years, is alive.
How is that possible? Earth has been around for billions of years, and it's just a planet!
"Tell me where I am now and what you want."
The other party must have ulterior motives for asking me to come here.
"You are inside my body."
After the voice finished speaking, a transparent ball of light flew into Xu Xing's temple.
A familiar memory surged into his mind.
It's about him, what happened after he froze around the North Pole.
His frozen body gradually approached the deep passage in the center of the North Pole, then he fell in and just kept sliding down and down.
At least in Xu Xing's perception, more than a day has passed, which means that he is now very likely to be deep underground, hundreds or thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away!
In his perception, the temperature here had reached over a thousand degrees, which only someone like Xu Xing, at the peak of the sixth level, could withstand.
"What you saw before was my heart core."
After all these strange events, Xu Xing still didn't believe it, but some of his guesses were starting to hold true.
"Then...why did you ask me to come here?"
Xu Xing tentatively inquired.
"Child, you must have come from somewhere else."
Xu Xing was stunned.
Others may not understand the meaning of these words, but he himself has a clear understanding of them.
Yes, from the beginning until now, he has kept this secret, even something as simple as his personal space, which he could only share with close friends and family.
But he never revealed the fact that he was a reincarnated person!
He was reborn from the future!!
"You are amazing. You have grown to such a level in such a short time. It was worth all the energy I expended."
"What...what do you want to do?"
Xu Xing was completely panicked; even his biggest secret had been revealed to others.
