When Xia Pingan saw Jinlan City again, Jinlan City had already turned into ruins.
The bustling and bustling city a few months ago now looked like a pile of broken porcelain shards that had been dug out from the ashes of an old brick kiln …
The bustling crowd in the city was gone. Large swathes of tall buildings had been reduced to ruins. The few buildings that had not collapsed were emaciated. Exposed and distorted steel structures were everywhere. The entire building stood in the city like a broken skeleton. There were traces of smoke and fire everywhere.
The streets were filled with the ruins of buildings. In the ruins of the buildings, one could vaguely see human skeletons. There was not a single intact building in the entire city. A few stray dogs were searching for food in the smoke-filled city. The entire city's ground and damaged buildings were filled with huge craters.
The rusted wreckage of armored vehicles and the shattered shells of Mantis Blade Bugs were intertwined together. In the southeast of the city, there was a huge crater that was more than a hundred meters in diameter. The buildings around the crater were all reduced to ashes. It was unknown what kind of weapon had created such a terrifying crater …
The cruelty of the war between species was on full display at this moment. Cities and towns were destroyed. Farmlands were barren. Factories were reduced to ruins. Now, the entire Myriad God Planet was filled with refugees.
On the way here, Xia Pingan saw many refugees on the ground. He also saw many soldiers and Mantis Blade Bugs. He saw many battles between both sides. He even saw a few Summoners appear on the battlefield.
Xia Pingan had learned his lesson this time. Apart from killing a few Mantis Blade Bugs and Winged Flaming Bugs along the way in the wilderness, Xia Pingan had been keeping a low profile all the way from the Thousand-Birds Plain. Apart from using the illusion technique to fly in stealth mode, he would occasionally burrow into the ground and change his whereabouts. Child of Fortune would sit on his shoulder at all times to keep an eye on his surroundings and listen to his surroundings. He would try his best to avoid a place as lively as the battlefield and not blindly get involved.
This was because Xia Pingan did not know how many primordial Remnant race members were drooling with bloodshot eyes on Myriad God Planet. They were secretly watching the Summoner that had arrived.
He was just passing by Jinlan City!
Xia Pingan wanted to take a look at the Wan Shen Sect's contact point. The coordinates of the Wan Shen Sect's contact point had been placed beside the Seven Sun Realm's Divine Spring.
Xia Pingan went to the Ten Thousand Gods Sect's contact point for two reasons. Firstly, he could understand the current situation on Ten Thousand Gods Planet and see if there was any useful information. Secondly, Xia Pingan wanted to accept a mission from the Ten Thousand Gods Sect to return the favor of the Seven Sun Realm Divine Spring.
Although Xia Pingan had already removed the spiritual poison left in his body by the Myriad God Sect and could leave the Myriad God Planet at any time, Xia Pingan still felt a little apologetic. He and the controllers of the Myriad God Sect were all Space Traversers. They were a group of summoners who wanted to save their home from the invasion of space. It could be said that they shared the same fate and appreciated each other. If he were to use someone else's Divine Spring and leave without doing anything for them, it would seem a little unkind. Therefore, Xia Pingan wanted to go to the Myriad God Sect's contact point to take a look.
The contact point was on a mountain more than two thousand kilometers east of Jinlan City.
From the three-dimensional map in Xia Pingan's mind, the contact point was on the peak of a relatively famous snowy mountain. There were very few people around it. As for the specific situation, he would only know when he got there.
...
After leaving Jinlan City, Xia Pingan did not waste any time and continued flying while invisible. After flying for three hours, a towering mountain range appeared in front of Xia Pingan's eyes. Xia Pingan used the Earth Escape technique from the sky. After another twenty minutes, Xia Pingan emerged from the ground. The mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist. At the top of the mountain, there was a snowy mountain. It was already in front of Xia Pingan. From the altitude, the snowy mountain was more than ten thousand meters above sea level. And this was not even the highest mountain on the Myriad God Planet.
There were no cities or villages around the snowy mountains. The surrounding mountains were bare stones with very little vegetation, especially above the snow line. The melted snow rushed into the mountains, creating icy gullies full of cobblestones. It was very difficult for ordinary people to survive here, so there were very few people here.
Xia Pingan hid at the foot of the mountain and did not rashly ascend it. Instead, he summoned Child of Fortune and got him to fly to the top of the mountain to take a look at the coordinates.
Child of Fortune was unafraid of the cold and heat. In a few flashes, he arrived at the top of the snowy mountain.
The top of the snowy mountain was bare. Other than the whistling wind and the snowflakes in the wind, there was nothing else. Along the way, he saw a few corpses left behind by mountain enthusiasts. They were completely frozen. These corpses had been left here for many years. For ordinary people, trying to reach the top of such a snowy mountain might cost them their lives.
Wait, there's something else!
Child of Fortune's perception was very sharp. After circling the top of the mountain, Child of Fortune discovered something abnormal — there was a snow-white Snow Eagle standing in a pile of snow more than two thousand meters away from the top of the mountain. Its eyes were wide open. The Snow Eagle was white and covered in snow. It was motionless on another mountain more than two thousand meters away. Even Xia Pingan found it difficult to notice it.
That Snow Eagle was strange. It was a summoned beast!
Except for that Snow Eagle, there were no traces of the Zerg, summoners, or ancient races in the vicinity of the snowy mountain at the coordinates.
After thinking for a while, Xia Pingan directly used illusion to hide himself and flew to the top of the Snow-capped Peak. He pretended to look around blankly and groped around the peak.
When Xia Pingan flew to the top of the mountain, the Snow Eagle buried in the pile of snow suddenly flapped its wings and flew rapidly towards him. In one or two minutes, it had reached the top of the snowy mountain. After circling three times above Xia Pingan's head, it let out a clear cry and flew towards a valley below the snowy mountain.
Xia Pingan flew behind the Snow Eagle.
The Snow Eagle shuttled through the mountain ridge. After flying for about seventy or eighty kilometers, it landed on the roof of a small wooden house built halfway up the mountain and stopped moving.
A sturdy man wearing a thick bearskin coat, a round face, a big beard, and a wolf-skin hat walked out of the small wooden house. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Pingan who had landed. He grinned and said, "Not bad. It seems that you've already fused with the Ethereal Realm's Immortal Spring and advanced to the Ethereal Realm. Let's talk inside!" After saying that, he turned around and entered the small wooden house, ignoring Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan had thought that the Ten Thousand Gods Sect's contact point would be a high and mighty place like an underground base. He did not expect that the so-called contact point of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect was actually a small wooden house in such a remote mountain. The man just now had the vague aura of a summoner, but he was dressed like a hunter who lived in seclusion in the mountains.
Xia Pingan did not hesitate and directly entered the small wooden house.
There was a fire pit on the ground of the small wooden house. The fire pit was burning, which made the small wooden house very warm. There was a metal shelf above the fire pit, on which there was a copper kettle. There was goat's milk in the copper kettle. Beside the fire pit, there were several corns that had been roasted until they were golden and fragrant.
That man was warming himself by the fire while breaking a corn in his hand and throwing it into his mouth.
"I'm the person in charge of this contact point of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect. I'm a red-robed deacon of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect. You can cook whatever you want to eat. I won't stand on ceremony with you..." that man said straightforwardly.
Xia Pingan did not stand on ceremony. He sat beside the fire pit and picked up a roasted corn. After tearing off the leaves and corns, he started to eat.
Xia Pingan had not eaten roasted corns for a long time. He had almost forgotten what they tasted like. During these days in the underground world, he had eaten Fasting Pills the most.
The soft, fragrant, and crispy corns had a unique taste after being roasted.
As he ate the corns, Xia Pingan poured himself a cup of goat's milk.
"You sure have guts..." The man chuckled. "People who come here often wonder if the goat's milk and corns have been poisoned. Hehe..."
"There's nothing to worry about. Since we've come to the Myriad Gods Planet, we aren't afraid of death. If we're afraid of death, we wouldn't have come!" Xia Pingan said.
"Well said. It's just that your luck isn't too good. I don't have many missions on hand. The easier missions have been taken by others. The slightly harder missions have also been taken by others. I haven't received the next batch of missions that can be issued. I might have to wait a few more months!" As the man spoke, he took out a small wine bottle and took a sip.
"Let me ask you something. What's the situation on the Myriad Gods Planet? I've been in seclusion for a few months, so I've been cut off from the news!"
"No wonder!" The man nodded. "I find you pleasing to the eye, so I'll tell you the truth. The situation on the Myriad Gods Planet is even more chaotic than it was a few months ago. The Federation's government is completely paralyzed and can't be relied on. The military leaders of the various administrative districts and the generals of the armed forces are in control, but they are not unified. The activities of the Zergs and the Primordial Remnant Races are becoming more frequent. It's like a pot of porridge. The various factions and Summoners from the Godslaying Bug World are swarming to the Myriad Gods Planet. This is both a good and bad thing for us..."
Xia Pingan was slightly taken aback as he stopped eating the corns. "Why would the factions and Summoners from the Godslaying Bug World swarm to the Myriad Gods Planet?"
"It looks like you really don't know?" The man shook his head. "The Myriad Gods Planet is currently being devoured by the Godslaying Bug World. It's in a special spatial state of the Godslaying Bug World. Two months ago, a Summoner who accidentally entered the Myriad Gods Planet discovered a hidden void mystic realm in the void near the Myriad Gods Planet. That void mystic realm contains the ruins of a fallen god's divine kingdom. It's said that the Summoner obtained divine treasures in that void mystic realm and even dug out two Spiritual Perception Crystal veins. This news spread to the Godslaying Bug World, so many factions and Summoners from the Godslaying Bug World have come..."
