On the other side.
Triste's collection world.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola were riding on the black horse.
Using the Wings of Purgatory's speed, they passed through several snowy mountains and finally reached the tallest iceberg in the middle of the mountain range.
This was a very unique iceberg.
Because it was crystal clear, you could see the inside of the iceberg through the layer of ice.
Faint blue ice and water, as well as tiny air bubbles were floating inside the iceberg, while the ice on the surface of the iceberg reflected the clouds in the sky. The two strange scenes intertwined, almost like a dream.
"How beautiful, I like this iceberg" Lola clapped her hands.
"Let's go"
"Let's go"
As they were about to move, the black horse suddenly stopped.
Its eyes were staring straight at the inside of the iceberg.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola didn't say anything.
Because they were also in an indescribable situation.
A gigantic shadow appeared inside the iceberg.
This shadow was at least a few dozen meters wide, almost a hundred meters long, it casually appeared from the bottom of the iceberg and swam towards the top.
The layer of ice was almost transparent, but because of the rapid flow of water, the light of the ice and the air bubbles mixed together, making the gigantic shadow look extremely blurry.
Even so, looking at the gigantic and blurry shadow through the layer of ice was still shocking.
As long as you look at that gigantic thing, you can't help but feel the urge to worship it.
This was because the difference in life form was so great that it gave rise to such a feeling.
Gu Qing Shan tried to use his inner sight to peer into the layer of ice to see what kind of monster that shadow was.
But as soon as his inner sight touched the iceberg, it was blocked by the outermost layer of ice.
As if some sort of strange power had enveloped the entire iceberg.
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the top of the iceberg.
A solemn and dignified structure stood at the top of the iceberg.
That's the Divine Temple?
He couldn't help but recall the Quest that [Kindling] gave him.
"In the outer region of the iceberg, there is a grand Divine Temple"
"In the Age of Old, when the Old Gods were still in this world, they built this Divine Temple to view the living beings they created"
"You need to get there and complete the ceremony of the ancient gods."
Gu Qing Shan fell into deep thought.
That black shadow just now seemed to be a life created by the ancient gods.
After crossing countless years, this thing still managed to survive. It was most likely not an existence that was easy to deal with.
Two people and a horse held their breath and stood there quietly.
They didn't relax until the huge monster was far away.
"What is that?" Lola asked softly.
"I'm not sure either, probably some kind of creature from this world" Gu Qing Shan said.
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
What?
What did I just think of?
Gu Qing Shan tried to think about it again, but she found that she couldn't grasp the idea.
But that thought did not go unnoticed.
Gu Qing Shan's body trembled as she shivered, as if she was being invaded by some kind of chill.
Lola raised her head and looked at the peak of the mountain that pierced through the clouds. "It's too high. I don't want to go up."
After seeing that thing, she no longer felt that this ice mountain was beautiful.
"I don't want to go up either" Gu Qing Shan sighed, "but we have to go"
Lola couldn't say anything.
That's right, we've already come this far, what's wrong with giving up halfway?
Is it just because I'm afraid of heights and monsters that I shouldn't fight against Triste?
All of my family members who came to Aboul with me died at Triste's hands, this is a pain and hatred that can never be erased.
Even if I have to endure pain that I've never experienced before, compared to death, it's nothing!
The rims of Lola's eyes became red.
"Gu Qing Shan"
"Hm?"
"Do you adults all have such a hard time?"
"Everyone is"
"Aboul held a banquet for 3 days and 3 nights to celebrate my coming of age, but I didn't think coming of age would be something like this"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent.
According to human time, Lola was only 7 years old.
7 years old, is that considered an adult?
Gu Qing Shan fell back into his memories.
When he was 7 years old, he couldn't survive on the meager amount of money he received, so he could only help wash dishes and do odd jobs at a restaurant in the slums.
But he didn't get paid.
The only benefit was that he got to eat 2 free meals a day.
Fortunately, public education was free, so he was able to work part-time and study at the same time until he grew up.
The hardship and suffering he had to go through himself is something you can't understand.
When he was 13 years old, he could already make dishes that the restaurant owner would praise.
From that year onwards, his life slowly began to improve.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He put Lola down from his shoulder and hugged her.
7 years old.
Such a young girl, but she's already an orphan.
Gu Qing Shan sincerely told her: "Lola, the life of an adult is always full of hardship and exhaustion, this can't be helped, but I hope that you can pull yourself together"
"Pull myself together?"
"That's right, if you don't pull yourself together, life will decide your life for you"
"… I don't want that to happen"
Lola buried her head in his chest and muttered.
"This mountain, we still have to climb it" Gu Qing Shan said: "We have to take a look, then — — if the two of us work together, we'll definitely be able to fight against Triste"
Lola pouted and took a deep breath.
She spoke with determination: "We have to beat her"
"Very well, that's the spirit, let's go"
"Let's go!"
As the two of them were about to move, Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
In the ice layer of the iceberg, the light blue water turned blood red.
Ooo — — oong — -
An earth-shattering roar came from deep underground, as if the entire earth itself was roaring.
Lola was so scared that she hid in Gu Qing Shan's chest.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes and silently listened to the roar.
From this roar, he could sense some sort of emotion.
Like sadness, but also like pain.
But mostly, it was helplessness.
The roar slowly faded.
In the blink of an eye, a giant shadow appeared from below the ice mountain.
It appeared inside the ice mountain, following the flow of water towards the divine temple at the top of the ice mountain.
During the entire process, the giant shadow didn't move at all, nor did it make any sound.
It seemed to be dead.
When the giant shadow went past Gu Qing Shan, Gu Qing Shan saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of giant eyes, full of despair and pain.
"A sentient lifeform …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Around the shadow, the light blue water was covered in a thick mist of blood.
Blood. This was the wound on the monster's body.
The color of blood spread, manifesting a deep red glow that reflected the light in the water, leaving traces of blood on Gu Qing Shan's body.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, watching as the shadow disappeared from her sight.
Just now, there was a living monster.
This was the second one.
"For such a giant creature to exist in this world … they seem to be the creations of the Old Gods …" Lola muttered.
As the Bramble Bird princess, she was naturally knowledgeable.
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened.
All of a sudden, a bone-chilling thought flashed through his mind.
This time, Gu Qing Shan managed to grasp this thought.
Living beings …
Living beings!!!!!!
Gu Qing Shan's back was soaked in cold sweat as he froze in place.
"What's the matter?" Lola looked at him and asked worriedly.
"I've understood a few things"
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and forced himself to calm down.
In his vision, the War God UI was blinking madly.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the UI.
[You've met the living beings of this world]
[You've noticed a certain possibility]
[At the same time, the War God UI has also noticed something]
[Now we need to understand the entire situation]
[Please tell the War God UI, what exactly did you discover?]
Gu Qing Shan quickly read through the lines of glowing text on the War God UI.
