Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to investigate the ice lake, then silently nodded.
Yup, it’s this place.
“There seems to be something in the lake” Ye Fei Li couldn’t help but notice.
“Go” Gu Qing Shan said a single word.
Holding the Earth Sword in hand, he quickly walked towards the center of the lake.
Ye Fei Li followed behind.
They were walking on the frozen water surface.
As they came in, they were instantly covered in a thick mist, unable to see anything around themselves.
Impartial Goddess’ voice came: [Sir, I’ve lost your coordinates]
“That’s normal, there’s no problem” saying so, Gu Qing Shan also couldn’t help but sigh.
That’s right, losing coordinates is a very normal thing ———-in this layered subspace.
The bone-chilling frost started to creep up from below, as if trying to freeze them.
There was absolute silence, nothing but thick, whirling mist flowing around.
Ye Fei Li felt an unnatural chill: “I feel like there’s something very abnormal about this place”
“Look at your feet” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“My feet?” Ye Fei Li muttered in confusion.
Suddenly, he could hear a few voices started speaking.
“What a rude living being”
“That’s right, he almost stepped on me just now”
“I’ll definitely chop off his head and eat through his flesh after I get out of here”
Ye Fei Li was stunned.
He slowly looked down at his feet.
“What the hell is this!” Ye Fei Li yelled.
Faces.
Countless faces.
Everywhere below the frozen surface, faces!
Faces pushing again one another, peeking out from below the ice, trying to get out.
Somewhere still very far below, a few have already managed to get their faces out of the ice.
But under the thick layer of ice, you could tell that their bodies were frozen solid.
Facing such a strange and eerie sight, Ye Fei Li felt a chill running up his spine.
Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and was going to say something, but the War God UI shined.
[The user has witnessed the Frozen Hell]
[The user has confirmed his own conclusion]
[Apocalypse Quest completed]
[Quest reward: When the user repairs the Chao Yin Sword, he can spend Soul Points to quicken the process]
These lines of text quickly disappeared after Gu Qing Shan read them.
A new notification started appearing on the War God UI in their stead.
[The Frost Calamity has appeared, signifying the world heading to its end]
[With humans alone, it’s impossible to win against the dead from the Frozen Hell]
[Please continue to explore the frozen lake and gather more intelligence]
Gu Qing Shan’s body moved, rushing to the middle of the lake.
“Wait for me!” Ye Fei Li yelled and quickly followed.
He doesn’t want to stay alone at such a terrifying place.
Under his feet, countless faces below as well as above the frozen surface cursed as he ran past them.
A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li came to the middle of the lake.
There, they met a deep frozen crater.
On the pristine mirror-like icy surface, a large chunk of ice was missing.
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.
That powerful dead person had already left.
So the Fuxi Emperor really did bring the skull to him.
“Strange, why is a chunk of ice missing here?” Ye Fei Li wondered.
“It left” Gu Qing Shan said.
He was sighing.
Before the war even began, a human powerhouse had already defected to become the enemy’s guide.
“Impartial Goddess” Gu Qing Shan spoke.
[I’m here]
“Humanity is now on the verge of collapse; you have to use all your powers to look for certain thing” Gu Qing Shan said.
[Please tell me sir]
“A block of ice, a large block of ice, perhaps it would shapeshift to become something else entirely different, but it’s still fundamentally a block of ice”
Gu Qing Shan added: “Inside this block of ice is an extraordinary existence, once you found it, immediately tell me”
[Understood sir, from now on, I will do everything I can to search for it] Impartial Goddess replied.
At this time, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[Under the Fuxi Emperor’s effort, a powerful Monarch from the Frozen Hell has been revived]
[This Monarch has brought its subordinates and began to act, they will speed up the coming of this disaster, you must stop this]
[Quest objective: Stop the next steps of the Fuxi Emperor’s plan, do everything to keep the stability of humanity, make sure as few people die as possible to slow the spread of the Frozen Hell]
[Quest reward: Reinforcement from Huang Quan shall come to the Human Realm, joining hands with humanity against the Frozen Hell] (1)
[Quest hint: When living beings die, death miasma will be produced, the more death miasma there is, the faster the spread of the Frozen Hell]
Gu Qing Shan quickly read through all the notifications.
He froze in place.
But a flash of hope quickly returned to his eyes.
Reinforcements!
There are reinforcements!
In the past life, before reinforcement were able to come, humanity had already reached its end as the world was destroyed.
At that time, it wasn’t only the Frozen Hell, but numerous calamities had came one after another without any time to rest in between, finally ending with the collapse of the game.
Many factors contributed to the quick destruction of the world.
This time, I have to do everything I can to delay the eruption of the Frost Calamity!
“…Reinforcements… I wonder what kind of reinforcement it’ll be…”
Gu Qing Shan silently contemplated.
Ye Fei Li stood next to him, irritated: “Just what are these monsters?”
“They are all dead people that came from the Frozen Hell of Huang Quan” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“This lake is hell?”
“No, this is nothing but a secluded spot on the tiniest branch of the Frozen Hell”
Ye Fei Li suddenly raised his leg and stomped on the face of a scary looking man.
The face didn’t let out any screams of pain, only staring at him while smirking terrifyingly.
“They don’t feel any pain” Gu Qing Shan continued.
“Then I’ll kill it!”
Ye Fei Li put more force on his foot.
Bang!
He broke the frozen surface.
A few hundred people were able to escape the ice.
“A living being!”
“Eat him, gain more power!”
“Don’t steal, I only need his soul!”
The dead people screeched, rushing to attack Ye Fei Li without minding the pieces of ice that’s still left on their bodies.
The blood glow on Ye Fei Li’s body moved, turning into a blood-red flowing torrent that enveloped all the dead people.
They writhed and turned, struggling to get away, but got swallowed up by the blood-red glow in the end.
Very quickly, all that remained of the dead people were their bones.
The blood torrent gradually disappeared.
The bones fell down.
“Although they’ve died once, their powers are nothing to fear” Ye Fei Li crossed his arms.
“That’s not the case, the truly powerful dead have already left, all that’s left are very ordinary dead people”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “It’s a good chance to show this, look carefully at their remains”
When Ye Fei Li looked back, all the bones had already melted into the ice, quickly sinking.
But then, flesh started to grow back on the bones, the hundreds of corpses quickly regained their previous appearance.
Their faces reappeared below the frozen surface.
They opened their eyes.
All the dead people stared at Ye Fei Li.
On the receiving end of their eyes full of grudge, Ye Fei Li trembled for a bit.
“Once the Frozen Hell spreads all over the world, you will only be able to knock the dead down, unable to permanently kill them” Gu Qing Shan said.
Ye Fei Li’s expression turned serious, asking: “Can we deal with this Frozen Hell?”
Gu Qing Shan smiled, but it was a very bitter smile.
“An entire world turned into hell, who can destroy that?”
He continued: “This is only the start, more importantly, according to records, humans have existed on this world for over 27,000 years”
“Do you know what that means?” he asked.
Ye Fei Li thought about for a bit, then turned pale.
He couldn’t believe and tried asking: “All the dead people over the last 27,000 years will reappear on the human realm?”
“No, those who are in the Frozen Hell are all heinous criminals”
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “You can say that all of the most horrible and evil dead people over the past 27,000 years will be revived”
“Not just that, according to archeological research and confirmations, other civilizations used to exist in this world”
“Purely from archeological findings alone, there were at least 3 civilizations before us humans”
“The Giant Era, the Fiendkind Era, and an unconfirmed chaotic Era”
“All these monsters will awaken from their eternal slumber, returning to our world”
Note:
(1) Huang Quan and Human Realm: as explained before, these are 2 of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Human Realm is supposedly where we are, part of a larger journey. While Huang Quan is basically Hell, but much bigger, since it contains more than 1 hell.
