Capítulo 1015: Chapter 170: Racing Toward the Tundra

At the border between the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent, there are vast stretches of wilderness.

Due to the extreme harshness of the environment, it has become a no-man’s land, devoid of living creatures.

The Northern Continent people call it the “Frozen Tundra,” while the region of this wilderness that extends into the Eastern Continent is referred to as the “Tundra.”

A colossal shadow floats above the white frozen tundra, swaying.

An ultra-large source energy boat, hoisting hundreds of thousands of tons of the “Traveler,” advances slowly in the air… The density of this divine-level creature’s body is astonishing. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Empress, the Northern Continent might have had no way of extracting it from the reactor.

At this moment, tens of thousands of small swords in the divine domain pierce into its body like anchors, gripping it tightly. The other end of these small swords is connected by slender, soft long lines made of divine power, which whistle and dance through the air, winding around the belly of the source energy boat.

Behind the ultra-large source energy boat, a dozen or more micro aircraft follow.

Zhu Xue, Purple Rain, and Gu Shen are aboard the same micro aircraft. Now stationed in Central City, other lords and generals hastily arrived after receiving the news to witness this historic moment.

“The Traveler Deployment Plan…is this really okay?”

Even at this moment, Zhu Xue had not yet recovered from the shock of the news.

Purple Rain looked at the Traveler suspended in the air, visibly uneasy. Even though she was a titled powerhouse, she still wasn’t confident of escaping an attack from that guy.

If the Traveler is released and loses control, what then?

The lords and generals were all quite tense.

In contrast, Gu Shen appeared calm.

Purple Rain piloted the aircraft, took a deep breath to steady her emotions, then smiled and asked, “Xiao Gu, what exactly were you discussing with Her Majesty on the second floor of the pavilion?”

The Northern Continent achieved a great victory, with Her Majesty crushing the Traveler.

But why release it? Does Her Majesty plan to wage another battle here?

Gu Shen, of course, wouldn’t say… Her Majesty suspects the “big guy” before them is not the real Traveler.

“After the battle at the Duolu River, the Traveler fell into a ‘defense stance.’

After pondering for a moment, Gu Shen said, “Her Majesty releases it mainly to see to what extent this behemoth’s intelligence has evolved.”

According to the Duolu River battle report, after the ancient gates of the Old World shattered, countless bone-winged creatures surged in.

In addition, there were a few “commanders”!

These were quite intelligent beings!

Logically speaking, the “Traveler” should have possessed even greater intelligence than these intelligent beings, yet after the Northern Continent captured it, they found this was not the case…

The Traveler’s performance was far from as “humanized” as those intelligent beings.

It would laugh, express emotions… but such displays could not be truly called “intelligent.”

Lu Zhe’s engagement with a “high-order transcendent beings” at the Black Snow Mountain could even be described as “cunning!”

Furthermore, once sunk into the reactor furnace, it directly entered a sleep.

Nobody could know what it was thinking.

Even when Her Majesty, by the divine domain, stripped a part of its memory, what they got was merely the Traveler’s sights and sounds within its spirit sea; these spiritual memories filled in the blanks of the Investigation Corps’ external exploration maps.

It provided little help in probing its intelligence.

Purple Rain pursed her lips, somewhat skeptical of the explanation.

But seeing the strands of divine power anchors in the air slightly calmed her nervous and uneasy heart…

Her Majesty is “watching” here.

Logically, releasing a divine-level creature, a decision of such magnitude, Her Majesty should personally oversee it.

But Her Majesty remains in the pavilion at this moment.

She only dispatched her [Angel Envoy].

The fierce wind howls, the cold snow is bitter.

Aluer stands on the iron top of the ultra-large source energy boat, her long hair pressed beneath a wool felt hat, fluttering in the powerful wind.

Inside this ultra-large source energy boat, there is no staff; it is entirely controlled by [Deep Sea].

Transporting the “Traveler,” such a high-risk task… it’s best not to involve others.

Aluer takes a deep breath in.

She clutches the Owl token, her gaze piercing through the wind and snow below her, focusing on that vast, swaying shadow.

In the spirit sea, the voice of the Empress from the second floor of the pavilion rings out.

She extends her fair, white hand and gently presses it against the top of the massive source energy boat. Invisible light streams surge upward, as the countless anchor ropes converge at this one point. With a slight exertion from the envoy, the convergence point of the anchor ropes is melted by the token.

A tense and forceful sound of anchor ropes snapping erupts in the air!

The divine power long ropes entwined around the giant boat snap one after another rapidly, cascading like a waterfall.

A deep, resounding noise of breaking air strikes the ground as the bound Traveler plummets from high in the sky, crashing heavily into the frozen tundra, instantly splattering hundreds of meters of snow sludge and dust.

The ultra-large source energy boat shakes in the air, and after shedding the tremendous “burden,” Aluer immediately feels a sense of relief as the giant boat ascends into the sky, and micro aircraft and the lords and generals all draw back.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The swirling snow and dust rise like one floating building after another emerging from the ground.

Within this chill-laden mist, countless awe-inspiring silhouettes fly forth.

They are the flying swords implanted in the Traveler’s skin by the Empress, retracting immediately after the Traveler’s fall. Thousands of streams of light retreat in unison, presenting an incredibly magnificent scene.

Aluer raised her arm, and a silvery-white light screen hovered above her palm.

Tens of thousands of small swords, shrouded in a chill, rushed into the light screen and disappeared.

This means… the traveller has completely regained freedom.

“Why… is there no movement?”

The lords and generals waited in the high sky a thousand meters above, their hearts in their throats.

An unexpectedly calm moment.

Where the traveller fell, there was almost no sound, until ten minutes later, when the snow dust slowly settled, everyone finally saw the scene in the snow pit… The violent impact had carved out a giant depression in the frozen earth hundreds of meters wide. The traveller, curled up in the furnace lifted by the Empress’s Divine Domain, now lay crumpled on the ground, maintaining this disgraceful posture.

It adapted to the environment quickly.

The temperature of the frozen earth was very low, a layer of ice shards formed on its skin, but if one’s eyesight was sharp enough, one would notice… these ice shards were melting from its body heat.

“It’s adapting to the ‘frozen earth’.”

Chu Ling, using the Heavenly Eye, was also watching this scene: “This place is a life-forbidden zone for humans, but for it, an environment of minus fifty degrees is nothing, not even ‘harsh’.”

Gu Shen slowly nodded.

He had just recently visited the [Old World].

Compared to the outlands, the frozen earth could indeed be described as “pleasant environment.”

“Why hasn’t it moved?”

Zhu Xue furrowed her brow, finding it hard to understand.

“It looks as though… it’s waiting for something?”

Purple Rain piloted the airship, continuing to climb. She was aware of the “attack incident” that occurred at the reactor not long ago; if it unleashed its power, this creature could leap a thousand meters and smash those airships with a reach.

Gu Shen also focused on the traveller in the snow pit, muttering, “Look closely at its brow, it seems to be ‘sensing’ something, ‘searching’ for something.”

Zhu Xue and Purple Rain’s expressions became solemn.

They both stared at the area where the white mist was the thickest.

The traveller’s brow, that fiery imprint, was burning… This imprint flickered, as if it had the ability to breathe.

Aluer stood atop the iron roof of the giant ship, she was the calmest among everyone, except for Gu Shen.

Because she was holding the Empress’s token.

Most importantly, at this moment, she was holding the Great Cold Sword by the thousands in her palm, knowing very well that as long as Her Majesty wished, she could at any time descend through the token… wielding these Divine Swords to punish the traveller once again!

The reason her true form had not arrived was to prevent an overly powerful aura from provoking and stimulating this Old World monster.

She was now Her Majesty’s “eye.”

The reason Her Majesty granted the traveller freedom was simply to understand clearly… the true intentions of this creature arriving in the Five Continents.

“The traveller’s fire seed… is burning.”

Aluer watched the enormous creature, observing everything in the frozen earth on behalf of Her Majesty.

Then, in the next moment, a heavy muffled sound erupted from the snow pit!

At the moment of extreme silence, the traveller suddenly moved.

The curled-up traveller suddenly opened its eyes, pressing its hands on the ground, and burst out fiercely like a leopard. No one expected such a huge creature to have such speed…

Aluer’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The moment the traveller moved, her nerves tightened instantly, prepared with thousands of Great Cold Swords, but a calm voice from the Spirit Sea suppressed all her thoughts.

Air waves thunderously surged.

The great creature’s initial speed was fast, but due to its massive body, its subsequent movements became very slow.

With each step, the frozen snowfield resonated with magnificent snow airs.

The lords and generals watched this scene in shock… They were puzzled why the colossal creature, previously lying silently, suddenly seemed to have found a direction?

“The fire seed… is burning fiercely.”

As everyone was in shock, Purple Rain was the first to calm down.

The regiment leader piloted the micro-ship, advancing quickly, keeping a parallel distance at great range, staying in pace with this giant. She looked at the traveller’s brow, and whispered: “Is it burning the fire seed, to run?”

The earth-shaking noise grew faster and faster.

The traveller’s running speed was no longer as towering and majestic as before—

Its steps became faster and faster, breaking through the sound barrier!

In the face of the rushing waves of wind, the engine of the micro-ship piloted by Purple Rain roared loudly. Even with the burn efficiency of the source quality pushed to the limit, it could barely keep pace!

At this speed, the micro-ship would soon be left behind by the traveller.

Gu Shen squinted his eyes, his voice hoarse, saying: “What’s important is… the direction it’s heading.”

The traveller had identified a direction, and was running madly.

The path it traversed was a straight line.

“According to this directional inference, the place it’s heading to is…”

“East Continent, Tundra.”
