The Snowy Mountain Continent was located at the edge of the Sea of Constellations. It was flat and the entire continent was about three billion kilometers long.
The closest star to this area was about the same distance as the sun to Pluto. Looking from the continent, that star was just a distant ball of light. There was no light that could reach this place at all.
The temperature here was around negative 200 degrees all year round. Cold and night were the main themes here.
However, to the powerful gods, this was nothing. Compared to other places in a vacuum state, this place had air and weak sunlight. It was almost like heaven.
Many forces had set up gathering points here. Conflicts between them would occur from time to time.
*****
At the edge of the continent, an Intermediate God with two silver horns on his head descended from the sky.
His feet landed on the cold ground. His gaze fell upon his two companions beside him.
"Strange. Why can't we see the Boundary Stones from before?"
A tall and muscular man said, "This is normal, Vierry. The Boundary Stones are sentient objects. They naturally know how to avoid danger. When they sense that someone is looking for them, they will hide underground and freely travel through the earth's core. It would be strange if you could see them from the sky. Don't show off your flying skills. It's better to look for them on the ground. Suzanne is still waiting."
This tall and muscular man wasn't just tall. He was already over three meters tall. He held a lightning spear in his hand and wore golden armor. He looked like a god.
His lightning spear was a low-grade weapon. However, his golden armor was only a top-grade treasure. It wasn't at the level of a Ruler's Equipment.
The muscular man was a Golden Rhino among the Astral Beasts. In his human form, his golden armor and horn could be turned into weapons and armor.
As for the Intermediate God with two silver horns, Vierry, he was a super Astral Beast, the Silver-Horned Python.
Other than the two of them, there was also a female Intermediate God here.
This Intermediate God had snow-white skin and jade green eyes. She was a special Astral Beast, the Starry Sky Illusionary Butterfly.
The three of them formed a small team and were searching for the Boundary Stones.
The Boundary Stones were a popular item. Not only could they be used to expand the Realm of the Gods, they also had other uses. For example, this female Intermediate God called Suzanne. Her ultimate technique was to construct boundaries. She needed the Boundary Stones to cultivate.
Moreover, if he donated World Stones, he would be able to obtain a decent amount of points. One World Stone was worth a thousand points. This was even more expensive than God Crystals.
For those who came out to search for treasures in the Sea of Constellations, if they couldn't find any good treasures, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to obtain some World Stones.
However, it was not an easy task to obtain World Stones. World Stones contained the power of the world and were spiritual objects. They would instinctively avoid the aura of living beings and were incomparably slippery.
When Silver Horn heard the muscular man's words, he snorted coldly, "Ibu, you only know how to make sarcastic remarks. You know that World Stones are not easy to find, yet you are still here. Why don't you come with me? It will be faster."
"Aren't I staying behind to protect Suzanne? There might be people from the Universal Alliance nearby."
"Then I'll protect Suzanne. You go and look for her."
Hearing the two of them arguing, Suzanne couldn't help but shake her head. "Have the two of you had enough? We've been together for millions of years, and you're arguing every day. It's so annoying. I don't need the two of you to protect me. Let's all look for her together."
Vierry and Ibu could sense that Suzanne wasn't in a good mood, so they didn't say anything else.
The few of them moved forward along the frozen ground. They retracted their auras and searched for traces of those World Stones.
After searching for a while, Vierry's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately used the dimensional universe to send a message to his two teammates. He was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would alert these World Stones that could escape through the earth.
The three of them communicated in the dimensional universe. Then, they slowly gathered around a certain spot.
The few of them had worked together for a long time. They had a tacit understanding with one another and quickly set up a trapping array.
After they finished setting it up, the few of them simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
They hadn't been detected by the World Stones. This operation was already halfway to success.
Ibu excitedly said, "It's done. There are at least fifty World Stones inside this trapping array. We can exchange them for fifty thousand points. Each of us can get at least ten thousand points!"
Earning ten thousand points in a single day was already a very high income.
Suzanne's dark green eyes were also flashing with excitement. "Mmm. Let's hurry up and get to work. Once we're done with this harvest, I'll have enough money to exchange for a flying-type equipment that I've been eyeing for a long time."
"Haha! Suzanne, once I've accumulated enough points, I'll exchange them for a flying-type palace for you, "Ibu loudly said.
Vierry curled his lips in disdain. "Stop dreaming. The depths of the Sea of Constellations are too dangerous. Normal airships can no longer pass through. If you want to move forward, you'll either have to rely on a flying-type equipment or a flying-type palace. However, even the worst flying-type palace is priced at thirty million World Stones. The best ones can even go up to a billion World Stones. Take God King Garan's personal flying-type palace, the 'Imperial Sky Pavilion' for example. Once you sit inside, you can go anywhere in the Sea of Constellations.
"Do you think you can afford it just because I can't? At least I dare to think about it. I dare to work hard for Suzanne. What about you? You're just an idiot snake who only knows how to boast. "
"You're just a simple-minded bull."
"What did you say!?"
Suzanne didn't stop the two of them from arguing this time. They'd known each other for too long. Arguing like this was just a way for them to vent their loneliness.
However, this time, Suzanne's expression changed.
Soon, Vierry and Ibu also noticed that something was wrong. The Galaxy Illusionary Butterfly was very sensitive and had always been the observer of the trio. She must have noticed something.
"Suzanne, what's the matter?"
Suzanne didn't say anything. A pair of huge wings suddenly burst out from her back. She flapped them a few times, and streaks of light spread out.
This was her unique method of spying. It was especially mysterious.
"Not good!"
"Front left! Front right! Left! There are people lying in ambush in all three directions. They're from the Universal Alliance. They're preparing to ambush us. "
"How many of them are there?" Ibu asked anxiously.
Suzanne's face turned even paler. Her voice trembled as she said, "Seven!"
Ibu and Vierry's faces were filled with despair. If it was one on one, they could still fight. However, if it was two on one, it would be dangerous. Now that the ratio had exceeded two on one, they would have a 90% chance of survival!
"Run! We don't want the Boundary Stone anymore. "
Vierry roared. The few of them quickly retreated.
However, before they could start running, the seven people from the other side had already appeared around them.
Silhouettes flashed in the air and quickly surrounded the three of them.
"Hahaha! We wanted to wait for you to get the Boundary Stone before we make our move. However, we didn't expect Suzanne to notice us. That's good too. If we can take care of you Astral Beasts, we'll also contribute to the Alliance. "
