On the desolate northern plains, nothing grows, ice and snow cover the land, and the cold is bone-chilling.
Xu Xiwang stood on the ice field, gazing at the sacred mountain of life.
It seems to be far away, beyond reach.
It seemed so close, as if I could reach out and touch it.
He took a deep breath and murmured, "Frost... I'm here."
Suddenly, Xu Xiwang stopped abruptly, feeling someone slowly walking towards her from behind, breaking through the ice, looking as if they were still half asleep.
Xu Xiwang felt unprecedented pressure. He turned around and saw that the person behind him was shrouded in a fog, and he could not see his appearance.
Only the air around him condensed into white icicles.
Click!
Where his footsteps landed, the frozen soil cracked and turned into countless crystal-clear water droplets that sprinkled onto the ground.
He walked with slow, deliberate steps, each step crushing the icicles into powder.
As he drew closer, Xu Xiwang found it increasingly difficult to breathe.
"Is the divine messenger also going to Mount Life?"
Xu Xiwang asked with difficulty, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Xu Xiwang, what a coincidence, we've met here!"
The messenger's voice had a strange magnetism that drew people in irresistibly into it.
"Ha, I don't think it's fate."
Xu Xiwang shook his head. "Gods will always look down on mortals from above. The moment I stepped out of the Temple of Light, I sensed a mysterious and invisible force locking onto me. If I'm not mistaken, it must be you."
Upon hearing this, the divine envoy nodded. "Indeed, if it weren't for me, you would have been killed long ago. You have been too outspoken, and now many powerful beings from beyond the heavens are watching you and want to take your life."
Xu Xiwang squinted, "I wonder what business the Divine Envoy has with me?"
Although Apollo told him that the messenger was on the same side as them and was a friend, not an enemy, Xu Xiwang remained vigilant in the face of this powerful and mysterious messenger.
"Naturally, I'm curious about you and hope you'll come with me to the realm of gods."
The divine messenger said calmly.
"The realm of gods? I'm not going!"
Xu Xiwang frowned.
If they went to the realm of gods, would they still survive?
Who knows what this so-called divine realm is?
He didn't want to experience the ordeal of the Nine Nether Hells again.
The divine messenger did not speak, but instead walked with empty steps toward the mountain of life.
Xu Xiwang frowned and began to climb the sacred mountain.
The sacred mountain of life is majestic and imposing, stretching for thousands of miles and towering into the clouds.
Along the way, Xu Xiwang discovered that many extraterrestrials were also climbing Mount Life, but strangely, although their strength was all at the Saint Realm, they were climbing with unusual difficulty and at a very slow speed.
Xu Xiwang was secretly surprised. Logically speaking, these extraterrestrial experts should have stronger physiques than ordinary people, so why were they climbing so slowly?
But those from beyond the heavens, he kills them all on sight!
These people were invaders, and their blood must be used to appease this world, to restore and purify it.
"Hmm? This kid seems to have the aura of a native!"
Suddenly, several powerful extraterrestrial beings clad in armor blocked his way.
Xu Xiwang raised an eyebrow, brandished his spear, and with a sweeping kick, sent two men flying. He then slashed their necks with his spear.
Bright red blood splattered, staining the icy plains crimson.
The remaining two were terrified and fled in panic.
How could I possibly let them leave?
He reached out and grabbed at the two fleeing figures from a distance.
The two were instantly sent flying back, landing at Xu Xiwang's feet, unable to escape no matter how much they struggled.
In an instant, the blood and energy of the people disappeared, and their corpses turned into dust and scattered by the wind.
Xu Xixi composed himself and continued climbing the mountain, turning everything in his path into ice sculptures.
"You don't need to lift a finger. The moment these greedy extraterrestrials step onto the Mountain of Life, their lives have already come to an end."
The divine messenger didn't even glance at the corpses on the ground, but continued walking upwards, his voice ethereal, seemingly coming from nowhere yet echoing in one's ear, "The souls of these people will become nourishment, irrigating the entire sacred mountain and offering sustenance to the Goddess of Life."
Xu Xiwang followed silently, climbing all the way to the top of the mountain.
Xu Xiwang looked up and saw that the entire palace seemed to be floating in the clouds, with the breath of life spreading everywhere, making people's pores relax and unable to help but relax, as if they were bathing in an ocean of life.
Xu Xiwang walked to the door of the Temple of Life, and just as he was about to knock, the door opened by itself.
"Lady Tina, where is Ning Hanshuang?"
Xu Xiwang looked around and his gaze fell on Tina, the goddess of life.
Her body was slender and graceful, her skin smooth and fair, full of vitality, radiating a faint vitality, like a new moon, beautiful and pure.
"Hehe, are you looking for your little girlfriend?"
Tina suddenly appeared in front of Xu Xiwang, gently lifting Xu Xiwang's chin with her finger, a radiant smile spreading across her captivating face, "Her..."
She drew out the last syllable, her eyes alluring, and bit her lip lightly, saying coquettishly, "Guess~"
Xu Xiwang's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils shrank sharply. "How is she?!"
"Hehe, don't worry, she's perfectly fine. You'll be able to see her in a little while."
Tina covered her mouth and chuckled, "Speaking of which, you're becoming a bit hard for me to understand now. The light element within you is no less powerful than Apollo's."
Xu Xiwang's face tightened, and he said coldly, "Please, Goddess Tina, let me see her."
"hehe?"
Tina smiled alluringly, leaned close to Xu Xiwang's ear, and breathed softly, "You willingly left her here with me~ I saved her life, shouldn't you thank me first? Or, if you treat me like your own sister, I'll let you see her?"
Xu Xiwang's expression changed slightly, "Goddess, please don't joke around!"
Tina giggled. "What a grumpy little kitten! Alright, alright, come out."
As Tina finished speaking,
A beautiful figure slowly appeared in Xu Xiwang's line of sight.
It was Ning Hanshuang!
She wore a long blue dress, her waist was slender and delicate, and she was enveloped in an elegant and holy aura, like a fairy descended from heaven.
The veil covering her face obscured most of her features, revealing only her delicate features and her eyes that shone like stars.
Xu Xiwang stared blankly at Ning Hanshuang, her eyes slightly moist.
He finally saw her! He had suffered so much torment and longing these past few days, but today he finally saw her!
"Frost!"
Xu Xiwang stood up and walked to Ning Hanshuang, reaching out to hug her, but she dodged him.
Xu Xiwang's hand froze in mid-air, her eyes slightly sore.
Looking at him like this, Ning Hanshuang pursed her pink lips and whispered, "I hope it's been a long time."
Hearing Ning Hanshuang's words, Xu Xiwang felt a warm glow in his heart. He reached out his right hand, pulled Ning Hanshuang into his arms, and whispered, "It's been so long. I was so worried about you. I'm just glad you're alright."
But the moment he embraced Ning Hanshuang, Xu Xiwang was suddenly startled, and his expression changed drastically.
He grabbed Ning Hanshuang's hand, only to find it had no warmth at all.
"What's going on! What's wrong! There's no temperature!"
