Pope Qiu said with a half-smile, "Are you sure Qin boy can win? What if the Icefield King wins instead?"
Li Xin laughed and said, "Don't joke around. No matter how strong He is or how deep His foundation is, He cannot awaken and master the characteristics of spiritual energy. The people of the Empire have been abandoned by power. Their ultimate use of natural spiritual energy has also brought some regrets."
"This is fate."
"The winner will definitely be Qin Che."
Pope Qiu was speechless when he saw how much confidence Li Xin had in him.
"Take it and go to the other side of the cliff to find the mineral veins there."
After discussing it, the two flew one after the other toward the cliff.
Qin Che was puzzled when he saw the two leave, especially as they headed towards the cliff.
However, he couldn't find the time to inquire about their whereabouts.
We must focus all our efforts on killing the Icefield King first.
...
The two passed through the cliff and found that it was higher and more expansive than the cliffs of the entrance and the projected world before them.
"Comparing these two sheer cliffs, this one looks like an adult, and the other one looks like a child," Li Xin said, using a metaphor.
He felt that the cliff was even higher and bigger, and even the walls looked so menacing.
Pope Qiu didn't say much. The two flew upwards for about five or six thousand meters before stopping and arriving at the summit.
"So high!"
"As expected of the Imperials, to be able to build such walls, what are they defending against?"
Pope Qiu: "I don't know either. Since ancient times, these walls have been used to defend against foreign enemies. But I have seen ancient books that say that the northern land is all ice fields and permafrost, so there is no possibility of life, let alone enemies."
"Perhaps it was hastily built by the Empire during the late period when psionic energy was rampant, in order to protect against the attack of wind and snow. Otherwise, it is hard to explain why this cliff is so tall."
"Built up hastily..."
Li Xin rolled his eyes.
What kind of technology could so hastily construct something like this?
It's already a spectacle, okay?
"If we launch a satellite into space now and then look back, the two sheer cliffs in front of and behind the empire will definitely be very conspicuous."
"Of course, such a spectacle is a once-in-a-millennium event."
The two flew through the cliff face, soaring downwards.
They have ventured deep into the other side of the cliff, searching for traces of the mineral vein.
The wind and snow here are even colder.
It was also even more frigid.
A large amount of strong wind blew in.
This made Li Xin, who had just been promoted to Master, feel somewhat disheartened.
As they flew, their faces and eyebrows were quickly covered by snow.
But this will not have any impact on the two of them.
It simply accelerated its flight, looked down at the earth, and sensed the location of the mineral vein.
Suddenly, Li Xin asked curiously, "I really want to ask, why would someone like you, old man, create a religious system?"
Pope Qiu said, "That's normal. You haven't fought against clones. They are extremely high in both faith and morale, like robots, because the Hive mainframe controls them. They are a great weapon against humans."
“I must rely on faith to unite everything, and the system and structure of the Mechanic Church are of course the most suitable.”
Li Xin nodded in realization: "How was it created in the first place?"
“At first, I didn’t think too much about it. I was born in the old world. That era was brilliant and technologically advanced, but only a few people awakened their psionic abilities, yet they lived a wonderful life. In that era, because the wars stopped, humanity united and became a nation.”
"The entire land has become a country?" Li Xin asked in surprise.
"That's right, the entire land that can be discovered and found, and billions of people, have all become residents of one country."
"In that era, productivity had been completely transformed, and no matter how vast the territory, it could not hinder people's communication."
"We use the same language, the same currency, and speak the same language."
"You should know that the geographical barriers are very significant. This land of China we live in was divided into many countries a long, long time ago. Later, they were unified by one person, and that's how the land of China came to be."
"But I'm not talking about the old world, but an even more ancient era."
Li Xin: "Right now, there are three territories in the wasteland: the City-State Alliance, the Leopard Court, and your Central Plains Mechanical Cult."
"What I mean is... if the war ends, can we become a family?"
Pope Qiu laughed and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this, you should ask Qin boy."
"As long as he is alive, humanity can continue to unite."
"People also hope to be led by God, and Qin Che is qualified to become a god."
Li Xin remained silent.
The two flew deeper into the icy plains.
There are also many city ruins here.
But there were no ghost soldiers or generals, no enemies.
The city was deathly silent, frozen solid everywhere, having withstood the test of time.
Numerous cities were buried under the ice.
“These ruins give me the feeling that this place was hit by a tsunami during the Dark Ages, the continent collapsed, was frozen, and was thus buried,” Li Xin said.
Pope Qiu was speechless: "There is still no definitive conclusion about how the empire perished."
Li Xin nodded: "That's too far in the past."
"Have you found any traces of a mineral vein?"
Pope Qiu shook his head: "It seems not. This place is deathly silent, without any signs of life or energy activity."
"Perhaps the mine has already been emptied by the Empire, leaving us with nothing."
“Even in the Old World, no one dared to venture deep into the permafrost; those who did never return.”
Two storylines from the Dark Ages
Imperials and Sea People
The lairs of these two civilizations are hidden very deep, and even the humans of the Old World have never been able to find their locations.
Even some high-ranking officials knew of their existence.
Humans on Earth still believe that the whole world is one family.
Sudden,
Li Xin's expression shifted: "I think I'm starting to feel something."
"Where?" Pope Qiu asked directly.
"In the northeast, near the sea, there is a tremendous amount of energy."
Pope Qiu tried to sense it and his expression changed: "Sure enough, there is a lot of energy moving around. That seems to be a vein of psionic stones. It's amazing that it can still emit such a huge energy aura even though it's so far away from us."
Li Xin said, "It might be dangerous over there."
"Then let's be careful, approach slowly, and proceed cautiously."
