Dragging the dead body of a wolf, Lin Zhen returned to the cave.
He cut off a piece of meat, and before it was completely frozen, he started to eat it raw.
In order to survive, this little bit of suffering was nothing for a warrior.
However, Lin Zhen's heart was getting heavier and heavier. He couldn't even taste the smell of the wolf meat in his mouth.
His pressure didn't come from the disgusting food, the cold, or the scars. It came from the loneliness.
If it continued like this, his body wouldn't be able to hold on for long. However, Lin Zhen hadn't found a way to support himself.
He couldn't find the flame here, and he couldn't find a warm place to heal his wounds. Kris had analyzed that he had less than a month to live. If he wanted to survive, he had to stimulate his potential.
It wasn't easy to stimulate the potential of life. There had to be something, something that could give him strength. Lin Zhen was very clear about this.
As the night fell, the howling of wolves came from the distant snowfield again.
This time, the night was especially long. Lin Zhen had even eaten up the blood of the wolf, but it was still dark outside.
Besides the wolves and bears, there were also fast deer on the snowfield. However, Lin Zhen couldn't catch them. Only the wolves, which were aggressive, could become his food.
In the past, in the dark, the snowfield was extremely cold. The wind was howling, and the snow was falling. Lin Zhen could only curl up and shiver in the cave.
However, this time, Lin Zhen didn't want to stay in the cave anymore.
He wanted to go out and see the world in the dark. If he stayed here, he could only wait for death. If he was going to die, he might as well go and see the places he had never seen before. This time, the long night came. If he wasn't wrong, it should be the polar night.
The polar night was the coldest time in the Polar Regions. It could last for several months. He couldn't wait for death here.
"Since that voice told me that this place was the northernmost part of the Star of God's Punishment, it should be similar to the North Pole on Earth. There should be a North Pole."
"Go to the North Pole instead of staying in a cave sheltered from the wind!"
This was an incomparably difficult decision. Very few people dared to walk out of the relatively warm cave into the pitch-black snowy night in search of an unknown hope.
Lin Zhen wrapped the wolf pelt tightly around his body. This time, he did not head towards the snowy plains in front of the cave. He saw that the snow wolves and other animals were all heading towards the back of the cave, so the other side of the mountain should be even further north.
The cold stone in his hand gave him some strength. Dragging his battered body, Lin Zhen began to climb the mountain.

"What did you say? The Empress is missing? "Liang Ji-hwan was stunned when he heard Shi Xiaomao's report.
"Your Majesty, she is not missing. The Empress left the palace three months ago. It's just that we were all kept in the dark. No one knew."
Saying this, Shi Xiaomao took out a video from three months ago. It was the second day after Lin Zhen went missing. Ning Qingxuan closed the palace gates, saying that she was going to cultivate and would not see anyone. At the time, she also informed Liang Ji-hwan.
Liang Ji-hwan did not say much. As long as Ning Qingxuan was still there, it was fine.
But unexpectedly, Ning Qingxuan left the palace that day. The guards were stopped by her from afar. Only a high-powered camera in a corner recorded the scene of Ning Qingxuan leaving.
She rode her five-colored deer and left the palace alone.
Later on, there was another scene of Ning Qingxuan appearing. It was recorded by a planetary explorer. Ning Qingxuan rode the deer through the cosmos, heading straight for the depths of the Milky Way. No one knew what she was doing.
"The Endless Sea of Stars. She went to the Endless Sea of Stars?"
Liang Ji-hwan did not say a word for a long time. Although the Endless Sea of Stars was also the Primordial Realm, to the people of the Primordial Realm, the Endless Sea of Stars was another world. It was filled with danger and the unknown. There were even alien races. The people living on the surface were afraid of the Endless Sea of Stars.
That place was too vast. What was Ning Qingxuan doing there?
After some thought, Liang Ji-hwan asked Shi Xiaomao, "Have you found any clues?"
"Your Majesty, the day before the Empress left, she seemed to have read a lot of information. She even borrowed books from the royal library. They were all star maps. She seemed to be searching for some planet, but as for which planet, I have no idea."
Liang Ji-hwan's expression turned uglier the more he heard. Finally, he grunted coldly. "There's no need to guess. She was searching for the Star of Divine Punishment!"
"What? How can the Star of Divine Punishment be found? "Shi Xiaomao was alarmed.
"Nothing in this world is difficult for those who set their mind to it. Since she dared to go out, she might have found some clues. However, I don't understand. So what if she found the Star of Divine Punishment? Don't tell me you can find the missing Lin Zhen? "
Shi Xiaomao did not say a word. This topic was not easy to answer. Was Her Majesty going to cheat on him?
"We have to find the Empress."
Liang Zhihuan's tone was resolute and decisive. Then, he closed his eyes and said, "This is something that ordinary people can't do. Go to the Green Leaf Sect and invite the Empress's master, Aunt Tie, over. Now, only her master can find the Empress and shock her."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
*****
Another month had passed since the battle on the Star of Divine Punishment.
Of the hundred million people a month ago, there were only about thirty million left.
They were evenly distributed to the four hundred small war zones. Each war zone had less than a hundred thousand people. Compared to the hundred million people a war zone had back then, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Jun Mo, who had just killed a few Undead Knights, picked up the phone.
"I am Qin Jianfeng!"
"Ah! So it's Great Qin's Crown Prince. Hello, may I know why you are looking for me? "
"Jun Mo, your Fire Phoenix Clan's territory borders Great Qin. We are neighbors, so we can be considered neighbors. In this battle on the Star of Divine Punishment, I did not take the initiative to kill your Phoenix Clan's people. However, you better restrain your Saintess. I don't care how presumptuous she is, but she can't attack Great Qin's martial artists. This is forcing me to take action."
"Ah! Qingluan actually attacked Great Qin's martial artists? "
"That's right. Just now, she ambushed one of our teams and killed hundreds of people. Jun Mo, I don't like to kill women. However, if there is a next time, I hope you can make a decision and not bring trouble to your Phoenix Clan!"
After hanging up the phone, Jun Mo's face was gloomy. It was true that he liked Feng Qingluan, but he was also the young master of the Phoenix Clan. For the benefit of the whole clan, he couldn't let her continue like this.

Lin Zhen stabbed the rock in his hand into the ice and snow. Using this as leverage, he finally climbed over the last mountain.
Holding onto the edge of the mountain, Lin Zhen poked his head out.
Night, it was still night!
However, this night was different from the past.
On the horizon, green, blue, and cyan lights shone down from the sky and landed on the ground in the distance.
Aurora! This was the Northern Lights!
Different from the aurora on Earth, these lights seemed to land on the same spot. No matter how the sky twisted, they would land on the same spot.
"What is that? What's attracting the aurora? "
Lin Zhen grabbed a mouthful of ice and snow from the ground and put it in his mouth. The cold made his lips numb, and his hands and mouth were covered with cracked frostbites. The wounds had already started to fester, proving that his body's condition was extremely poor.
His skin had an unhealthy greenish hue, and he was almost frozen stiff. Lin Zhen could not even feel his blood flowing.
But he persevered. Kris said that he could only persevere for 25 days, but he persevered for a month. In a month's time, he walked out of the vast snow mountain and saw the Northern Lights.
Perhaps there would be some surprises waiting for him under the Northern Lights.
He stumbled forward. The ground was no longer snow, but thick ice. When he stepped on it, one of his toes broke easily, making a crisp sound of bone breaking.
Lin Zhen did not feel it at all. He continued to move forward expressionlessly. He had suffered too many injuries, so he did not care whether it was more or less.
He walked on this road for more than ten days.
When the scene where the Northern Lights landed appeared in front of him, Lin Zhen was so cold that he could not even blink.
There was a thick layer of frost all over his body. When he walked, there was even a clicking sound like a robot.
Bathed in the aurora, Lin Zhen looked at the extremely beautiful flowers on the ground.
It was a Snow Lotus!
The beauty of this flower exceeded the concept of ordinary flowers. It was as if it was made of ice and snow. There were traces of light flowing on it. Although it had not bloomed, it was already breathtakingly beautiful.
"Ice! Light! These two types of elemental energy have actually reached the pinnacle on this flower. "
When he reached the side of the flower, Lin Zhen felt extremely cold. His internal organs were about to be frozen.
The aurora slowly flowed on the flower bud. The pure light element made Lin Zhen palpitate.
"It's too beautiful. This flower is simply gathering the essence of heaven and earth. Extreme and cold, combined with this pure light element. This represents the pinnacle of these two powers."
"One is the speed of light, the other is absolute zero!"
"Since I'm here, I must ensure that this flower blooms smoothly. As for whether or not I can comprehend the power of ice and light, that will depend on my fate."
Lin Zhen quickly found an excuse for himself. He must see the day this magical Snow Lotus bloomed. If he did not see that scene, he would not die.
A crack appeared on the ice surface. A twisting Ice Silkworm appeared.
Its target was the Snow Lotus. It quickly crawled over.
Just as it approached, an ice sculpture beside the Snow Lotus suddenly moved. A piece of rock ruthlessly smashed the Ice Silkworm onto the ice surface!
Before the Ice Silkworm died, it fiercely bit the person. A powerful poison was injected, but the person who was like an ice sculpture remained motionless.
Breathing Technique. This was a skill that only martial artists who had just started learning martial arts. Now, it had become Lin Zhen's life-saving method.
Using one breath to protect his heart, Lin Zhen did not care about the pain on his body.
He would wait here, protect, and wait for the moment the flower bloomed!
