"This time, the goal, breakthrough mission, and legendary mission are integrated into one."
After seeing the legendary mission, Lu Ran wanted to complain that the difficulty was too high, but it seemed that regardless of whether there was a legendary mission or not, he would inevitably provoke the Lord of Light and Darkness.
After all, Rainbow Dash has multiple elemental attributes, and even though they have been integrated into the elf system, they still need to develop in a balanced way.
Therefore, the Light Elemental God and the Dark Elemental God must also be hunted.
The elemental gods of light and darkness in the Elemental Age are almost all subordinates of the main gods of light and darkness.
Therefore, there is no need to do this legendary quest specially...
While he was rubbing his temple with his fingers, the Infinite City began to teleport, and the holy light instantly enveloped his entire body...
Then, a cool breeze blew, and Lu Ran was already standing on a Great Wall of Ice and Snow. There was only ice and snow around him, without much breath of life.
"Ice Country, Icefield City..."
While Lu Ran was determining his destination, there was a commotion in his contract space. President Ha suddenly jumped out, looking around with shining eyes and full of energy.
“Ooooooooooo!!!”
Mr. Ha's saliva turned into ice chips.
Although it has given up its ice attribute, it still likes the ice and snow environment.
"This is first love..." Lu Ran sighed.
This ice kingdom of the elemental age is different from the winter that President Ha has experienced, the North and South Poles of the blue planet, and some secret places of ice and snow that he has visited. The free ice elemental power between heaven and earth here is unprecedentedly strong, giving President Ha a brand new experience.
"According to intelligence, the Elemental Age is the age when the natural energy of the Star-Moon World is the most abundant. Therefore, there are a lot of legendary elemental creatures in this age. The average strength of ordinary elemental creatures is also much stronger than the average of the animals in the Beast God Age and the extraordinary plants in the God Tree Age..."
"Well, this is still the Land of Ice, and there are ice creatures everywhere. It's normal that the ice element is so dense."
"Woof!" Mr. Ha said that he would not go back. He controlled his body, kept shrinking, turned into a baby posture, and jumped onto Lu Ran's head, sticking to Lu Ran like a Husky doll's hat.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's up to you, but we won't stay in the Ice Country for too long. We'll have to go to the Fire Country or something..."
Mr. Ha nodded, which was quite well behaved.
Lu Ran also looked around again. This city... seemed to have no signs of life. The entire city was sealed off. There was a heavy snowfall in the sky. The temperature was terribly low, enough to freeze weaker extraordinary lives to death... What happened?
"Forget it, let's ignore these side details and sort out our goals."
"①: Main quest, find the Death Dragon and make contact with it."
"②: Side quests, strengthen Rainbow Dash, complete breakthrough quests and legendary quests."
"We will wait for the main quest slowly. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the four great dragons will definitely show up in this timeline. If the Infinite City can materialize the historical projection of the four great dragons..."
"As soon as the four great dragons show up, all the elemental gods will be finished, including those upper-level elemental gods and the main elemental gods..."
"So, even if we provoke them, as long as we wait until the four great dragons appear, there won't be any danger."
"So, from now on, we can consider finding an elemental god for Rainbow Dash to eat... With the space-time shield and Rikka, it will be difficult for the main god to find us quickly... At the same time, we must also draw Hel's blood."
"In this way, the initial things to do are very clear. In two or three days, Hell will fight the final death battle and die in the Ice Kingdom."
"This battle shocked the entire world, marking the complete defeat of the resistance in the face of the Elemental Alliance."
"And our breakthrough mission is to do something that will shock the world. So, saving the legendary elementalist Hel from the hands of the Ice God, and then killing a few Ice Elemental Gods, should be considered a world-shaking event, right?"
Lu Ran asked Mr. Ha, but found that Mr. Ha didn't listen to him the whole time.
"Uh-woo~~" Mr. Ha tilted his head back, stuck out his tongue and ate the snow.
The snow tastes different from that in Star-Moon World and Blue Star!
“Is this true?”
Lu Ran also raised his head and stuck out his tongue.
"Indeed, it has a hint of vanilla fragrance." Lu Ran nodded.
“That’s not the point!”
Lu Ran shook his head quickly and summoned another pet. Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, a nine-tailed cat made of clouds and mist appeared on the snow.
Yunbao has body memories. Before Lu Ran could speak, he took the initiative to transform into a cloud and floated up. Cloudy stairs also appeared under Lu Ran's feet.
Lu Ran stepped on the clouds and then sat cross-legged on the cloud. Then Yun Bao immediately flew up and merged into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
…………
Above the icy clouds, Lu Ran changed from sitting cross-legged to lying down, gazing into the sky and reminiscing.
According to the description of the heroic spirit Hel, at the beginning she took the lead in trying to change the will of the elemental gods, but did not attract the attention of the rulers of various countries.
This is also because the elemental gods are busy breaking the rules of the world and have no time to deal with weak lives like her.
It was not until she broke through to the legendary level and possessed the power to defeat the legendary elemental god that she gradually attracted the attention of the Ice God of the Ice Kingdom.
Afterwards, a great battle broke out between Hel and the God of Ice.
Hull, who had just become famous, was naturally no match for him.
In this battle, Hull escaped by chance.
After failing to change the will of the God of Ice, Hel escaped and began to travel to the other nine countries, trying to change the will of the gods of other countries and increase the combat power of his own camp.
However, realizing that there was still a gap between himself and the upper legends, Hel changed his strategy this time. He no longer faced the rulers of various countries directly. While practicing, he secretly established a force to influence the thoughts of the gods' believers, hoping to influence the decisions of the elemental rulers of various countries through the will of the believers of various countries.
Obviously, this doesn't help.
Although she gained a group of followers who identified with her and formed a larger resistance army, she still failed to convince any elemental master.
At this point, Hel gave up these practices and realized that if he wanted the elemental gods to stop destroying the rules of the world, he had to rely on force.
After traveling through the nine countries, Heer's strength reached the peak of the legend, and he possessed elemental pets of many legendary races, which gave Heer the confidence to fight against the upper legendary level.
In the end, Hel returned to his hometown, the Ice Kingdom, intending to defeat the Ice God first in order to gain the qualification to talk with gods from various countries on an equal footing.
If he was facing the upper legendary Ice God alone, the well-prepared Hel might have a chance of winning, but the Ice God also had many middle and lower legendary elemental gods under his command, as well as an army of ice elemental life forms numbering in the billions.
The Dark Crows can greatly increase their own power with hundreds of thousands of crows...
The ice army and ice believers accumulated by an ancient Ice Kingdom are not something a legendary elementalist can successfully challenge.
Faced with an elemental army of this size, no matter how strong Hel was, he ultimately failed to win and died of exhaustion.
Not long after, it seemed that the elemental gods had been constantly attacking and finally shook the rules of the world. The four great creation dragons all descended and collectively suppressed the elemental gods who were attacking the rules of the world...
"According to Hel, there was no such thing as a divine dragon's followers in the Elemental Age."
"However, legends about the creation of the four great dragons have spread across the country, and many races have spontaneously built temples to worship the four great dragons."
"Her's mother's family has a tradition of worshipping the Creation Dragon. The family history also records various miracles about the Four Creation Gods. She has been influenced by them since she was a child, so she also has a deep belief in the Four Creation Dragons. Her belief is even stronger than her belief in the God of Ice."
"It was this experience, coupled with the various world disasters caused by the elemental gods' rebellion against the dragon's rules, that made Heer determined to stop the elemental gods' actions. Because in her opinion, the four great dragons have the power to destroy the world with a single thought, which is simply beyond the elemental gods' ability to resist, and their anger is also beyond the world's ability to withstand."
"Whether it was an accident or not, Hel was indeed doing something that benefited more lives in the world at that time. Unfortunately, the elemental gods did not listen to his advice and were crushed by the four great dragons... This also led to the complete destruction of the elemental era. After a long era of natural disasters, the continent gradually recovered and created an environment suitable for the survival of life again."
“But from the perspective of the elemental gods, although the four great dragons created the world and gave them the opportunity to be born, their growth was restricted, so it is not surprising that the ‘father and son’ turned against each other.” Lu Ran yawned. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of stance.
From Lu Ran's perspective, there are actually still many mysteries in this matter.
For example, why do the four great dragons limit the upper limit of the growth level of star and moon life?
Even the upper limit of the growth level of life in the nearby starry sky, including the Blue Star, is restricted.
It's impossible that he is like the Chaos Dragon God, afraid that other races will also give birth to a main god and threaten his position... Lu Ran felt that this couldn't be the reason.
Also, could the false cosmology mentioned by the Golden Toad and the Moon Rabbit be related to the Four Dragons?
There are so many doubts, Lu Ran estimated that only by encountering beings of the level of the four divine dragons would it be possible to clarify some of the secrets.
…………
After a while, following Yunbao's flight, Lu Ran arrived at the capital of the Ice Kingdom. Although the environment here was also harsh compared to other places, at least there was a sense of human habitation.
Along the way, Lu Ran even saw many of Mr. Ha’s “fellow tribesmen” from the air.
Snow dog.
In the snow, snow dogs pulling sleds are often used as a means of transportation to help the people of the Ice Kingdom travel through the snow. Among them, there are quite a few dogs that look like Huskies, and even their racial levels are quite similar, except for the extraordinary race.
As a result, when Lu Ran and Mr. Ha appeared in the capital of the Ice Kingdom, they looked extremely normal. Even without the corrections made by the Infinite City, their overall outfit should not have aroused suspicion among the locals.
However, compared to the elementalists who were surrounded by elemental life, Lu Ran, a beastmaster with a snow dog, seemed much poorer.
In this royal capital, there is a skyscraper-like statue of an ice elemental god at every other place. Obviously, elemental life is the most mainstream and noble race.
"Two more days."
The prologue to the final battle is that Hel arrives in the capital of the Ice Kingdom and takes the initiative to challenge the God of Ice, and then the scale of the battle escalates all the way, so Lu Ran only needs to wait here for the protagonists of both sides to appear.
The script that Lu Ran got from the heroic spirit Hel was that at the beginning Hel only challenged the God of Ice to a duel alone.
It's a battle between the two of them.
As the Ice God was suppressed later, he began to summon his followers, subordinates, and legions.
A large number of rebel forces also appeared on Hull's side, and the war escalated.
In other words, while Hel and the God of Ice are fighting one-on-one, the Ice Kingdom will be extremely empty. Although it does not mean that there is no defensive force, at least there is no upper-level legendary defensive force, which makes it very convenient for Lu Ran to operate.
Then, when the time is almost up, go to rescue Hel and find the seriously injured Ice Elemental God to finish him off. It's perfect.
Before that, Lu Ran took Mr. Ha to taste the food from the Elemental Age.
Although what he makes himself is more nutritious, every era and every place has its own "special flavor" of food. It's a rare trip here, so Lu Ran can't help but taste it.
Mr. Ha was also looking forward to it, but what made him grit his teeth and bear a grudge was that there was no ice or snow cuisine in this ice country, but hot and spicy food was rampant.
Especially...when there are dog meat restaurants everywhere.
After eating and drinking, Lu Ran found an iceberg and sat down. He took out the packed snacks and shared them with King Death, Crow, and Rikka who had not eaten just now.
Yunbao tasted a few pieces. Although he felt that the taste and nutritional value were not so good, Lu Ran had never stir-fried stones for Yunbao before, so it was a new experience for Yunbao.
Other than that, Rainbow Dash has opened her eyes to frying ice cubes and sand.
However, before it could eat too much junk food, Lu Ran called a halt and pulled it over: "Forget about the others. You're eating so much now, how can you have an appetite to eat the Elemental God later?"
"Work first."
“Meow!!!” Yunbao was stunned. It was already a means of transportation. What else could it do? ? ?
"Here." Then Lu Ran took out a stone.
[Essence of Stone]: An epic resource, born from heaven and earth. It is the best material for forging weapons and equipment. It seems that the stone can also give birth to life.
This was exploded after Lu Ran hunted Zhu Yan in the secret realm with the background of Blue Star.
In addition to this, a war talisman also exploded, which Lu Ran had already given to Dark Crow as a gift.
As for the essence of the stone, Lu Ran had been keeping it, waiting for President Ha's fourth dependent to arrive so that he could make a stone sword for it.
The core material of Zhu Yan’s weapon, the stone stick, is this thing.
Lu Ran felt that the power was okay.
"Meow..." Yunbao looked at the essence of stone silently, as if she understood Lu Ran's meaning.
After Lu Ran fused the elf characteristics into it and awakened the elf system, it was born with such a talent.
[Elf Will]: Can enlighten the life of elemental elves.
Similar to how the Six Paths Flower can transform ordinary plants into intelligent and extraordinary plants, it can also transform ordinary stones, ordinary water, ordinary sand, and a breeze into elemental life.
So, Lu Ran should want it to be the mother of this stone!
"That's it." Seeing the confused look in Rainbow Dash's eyes, Lu Ran knew that it had guessed the job content, so he smiled and said, "I originally wanted No. 18 to upgrade the elemental life creation device, and then breed life from this stone."
"But she's too busy."
“There’s always something to do every day.”
“This matter has been delayed until now.”
"And now that you have the ability to enlighten elemental life, this task does not need to be handed over to No. 18. It is obviously easier for you to do it."
Rainbow Dash pondered for a moment, then transformed into an angel, a working man, and patted his chest! "Mee! (New generation of Cloud to replace the old one.)"
Damn, it thought it was something, just a small matter...
"Don't take it too easy."
"The quality of this stone is epic. According to the quality of Zhu Yan's weapon, the stone elemental life it formed is at least a quasi-legendary race. It is not easy to enlighten. You should know that when you were experimenting with the elf will talent on Blue Star, the highest you could enlighten was only the elemental life of the king race."
As for the elemental life that was enlightened...it was naturally posted on the pet store website of the Beast Taming Empire and sold to the beast masters of the Xia country.
"Mee, mee!!!" Rainbow Dash argued, saying that she had just acquired the talent and was not proficient in it, so she just used it a few times casually.
Although the value of elemental pets is higher than that of plant pets in the Beast Taming Empire, things are rare and valuable, so Lu Ran did not let Yun Bao frequently enlighten them. He planned to set elemental life pets as a high-end market, and use hunger marketing. The price of plant pets is several times that of animal pets, and the price of elemental pets is several times that of plant pets! "No, you don't understand what I mean." Lu Ran looked at Yun Bao.
"The stone sword that was enlightened to become a quasi-legendary race is only the foundation."
"I want you to improve its 'bloodline' during the enlightenment process."
"Let me tell you this. The attributes of stone elemental life are not necessarily rock-type. Do you understand?"
"For example, the elemental life evolved from flame ore is fire and rock, and the life evolved from electrical ore is lightning and rock."
"For example, you are a cloud, your core is water, but you can have nine elemental attributes."
"So for this stone, I hope you can use the rock attribute as the core and the sword form as the basis, and transform it into a rock sword with nine elemental attributes, such as wind, thunder, ice, light, darkness, water, fire, etc., just like you."
"Huh???" Rainbow Dash remained in the form of a cloud angel and entered the voice change period.
[Why is this happening…]
"Although Ha has given up all of his attributes, his natural talent of 'control of nature' is still retained. His control over the power of nature, combined with his comprehension, can ensure that even if he does not possess any elemental attributes, he can perfectly mobilize the sword of natural elements and master sword intents of various attributes."
"Combined with a rock sword with all elemental attributes, this advantage can be further expanded."
Rainbow Dash was silent. Well said. Now it understood a little bit how sister No. 18 felt.
The Nine Elements Stone Sword, right?
strike!
It might as well just become Mr. Ha’s follower!
All in one step.
Speed through the Hell-level mission.
“Haha…” Lu Ran laughed and said, “I’m not asking you to enlighten now. I’m also afraid that you will directly enlighten a deformed child.”
"First, you can practice with the ordinary stones scattered all over the mountain. After you evolve into a legendary race, it won't be too late to enlighten the essence of this stone."
As he spoke, Lu Ran kicked out a hard rock from the snow pile under his feet.
Rainbow Dash: “…”
The little Death King and the Dark Crow, who were sharing their snacks, gave Rainbow Dash a heartless and amusing look.
…………
Over the course of two days, Yunbao was clicking away, while Lu Ran was adapting to the limits of his various beast taming skills in his new body.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Ice, as Lu Ran felt a powerful aura erupting spontaneously, he opened his eyes.
Different from Lu Ran and his group who were sneaky and used time and space shields to cover up their aura, the owner of this aura was quite high-profile, and the aura he burst out was probably felt by the entire Ice Kingdom.
High in the sky above the royal capital, Hel, standing on the ice crystal phoenix with his long purple hair fluttering, had a calm expression, but underneath the calmness lay a great determination.
Facing Hel standing tall in the sky, all the forces in the capital of the Ice Kingdom were familiar with her. In the palace of the Ice Kingdom, the new king who was supported by the legends also looked at Hel in shock. They never expected that the former princess of the Ice Kingdom who had stirred up endless turmoil in other countries would return here.
Doesn't she know that the God of Ice is looking for her?
Walking into a trap?
Click…click…click…
The space was freezing, and the sky above the capital of the Ice Kingdom was like a frozen ice mirror that had shattered. A deep secret realm connected to the capital was gradually revealed to people.
The ice sky was opened, and a humanoid deity made of ice crystals walked out. Her body was made of ice crystals, she had a pair of huge ice crystal wings, and her jade feet could freeze the space whenever she stepped into the air. She looked like an ice and snow goddess, her expression was as cold as ice, and most of her blue body was wrapped in ice mist, so her entire image could not be seen clearly.
However, with her arrival, all the races still in the royal capital knelt down and lowered their heads. Except for the legendary elementalist Hel, no one dared to look directly at her.
[Race]: Ice Goddess [Attribute]: Ice
[Racial Level]: Upper Legend [Growth Level]: Level 100! No one knew what Heer said next. The figures of both parties disappeared over the capital along with the ripples in space. It was not until a long time later that someone dared to slowly look up at the empty sky.
Although they didn't know what happened, many people swallowed their saliva and had a bad feeling.
It didn't take long for this premonition to come true. As terrifying energy fluctuations were transmitted from a distant direction, slight earthquakes and airquakes occurred in various parts of the Ice Kingdom. Cracks began to appear in countless ice and snow buildings, and the sky changed from its previous ice blue to dark blue.
As the wave spread, the elemental masters of the other nine elemental kingdoms were also disturbed and awakened one after another. However, these elemental masters did not react too much to the Ice Kingdom's family affairs, nor did they want to help the Ice Goddess.
"Hunting, begin!"
During the battle between Hel and the Ice Goddess, Lu Ran finally took action.
Wearing a cloud element bracelet, he used Liuhua's spatial attainments to come to a city adjacent to the royal capital, Ice Prison City.
This Ice Prison City is the God's Prison of the Ice Kingdom. On the surface, it is an ordinary prison city, but in the deep space, an elemental god, a fire elemental god, and a lower-level legendary race are frozen.
The reason for her imprisonment was unknown. She had been imprisoned here before Hull was born, and she found out about it by chance.
Although Lu Ran did not recognize this deity, this should be the easiest elemental god to hunt in the Ice Country. Lu Ran planned to start with this one. Now the attention of all the elemental gods in and out of the Ice Country was attracted by the battle between Hel and the Ice Goddess. As long as he moved gently, no one would care about him.
In the deep ice prison space, Lu Ran tore the space barrier with his bare hands and entered this extremely cold underground prison. He looked at the fire giant in the center that was frozen into an ice sculpture.
This is also a humanoid fire elemental creature. The power of ice and snow that freezes it is extremely terrifying. Even the legendary flame is frozen. Lu Ran touched his chin and said, "Liuhua, I leave it to you."
Beside Lu Ran, Liuhua in the human form looked calmly at the sealed elemental god, as if she had seen through its life, and shook her head slightly.
Then, it stretched out its hand, and a seed appeared on its palm. With a golden-green light, the seed grew and sprouted quickly, growing towards the direction of the ice sculpture. The next scene was that the tiny sprout drilled through the extremely hard ice, causing countless cracks to appear on the ice sculpture, and with an extremely delicate force, it destroyed the hard structure of the ice sculpture.
“Awesome, awesome.” Upon seeing this, Lu Ran knew that even if Mr. Ha and the others could catch up with Rika in terms of strength through various Infinite City resources, they still had a long way to go in terms of the use of strength compared to Rika who had thousands of years of experience.
Click……
As the ice sculpture shattered, the fire giant inside slowly revived...
"This guy is a weirdo. He is obviously the God of Fire Element, but he came to pursue the Goddess of Ice, so the Goddess of Ice sealed him." Next to him, Liuhua told the inside story that even Heer didn't know, which made Lu Ran extremely shocked.
"Okay, okay, you want to play the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, right?"
"Damn it."
Before the Fire Giant could fully wake up from his frozen consciousness, Lu Ran turned his arm into flames, and the Flame Spirit possessed Yunbao, turning it into a fiery cloud that wrapped around his arm. Lu Ran then attached sword intent to it, using his arm as a sword, and stabbed into the Fire Giant's body, searching for the opponent's most important elemental core.
Boom!!! The piercing pain instantly sobered the fire giant up. It looked at the life in front of it furiously, but the next moment, its heart trembled.
The person in front of him was surrounded by black flames, with only his dark red eyes showing, emitting the aura of death and evil. The fire giant couldn't even call him a human being. He had never seen such a horrible life... The evil thoughts were almost corroding his soul.
"Who...are...you..." It wanted to resist, but found that, in addition to this, there was also a terrible evil thought shrouding it, making it unable to move. It felt that the power was no weaker than that of the Ice Goddess. It was Liuhua who opened the Eyes of God and assisted Lu Ran.
"A passer-by of an era... just a passer-by."
The next moment, Lu Ran stretched out his arm, raised his head, showed a sunny smile to the fire giant, and pinched the elemental core.
[Brother, you smell so good...] Rainbow Dash, who was entangled in Lu Ran's hands, couldn't help but say it, revealing her ferocious and hungry cat head, looking at the fire giant with fear in his eyes.
