Chapter 1074 The Original Appearance of This World

“Is this… a church?”

As soon as he stepped into the door of the building in front of him, Zheng Zha made a puzzled sound.

Entering from the front, the building looked like a research institute, and the Zhongzhou team encountered no obstacles. Even the thousand-year-old ice covering the surface of the building had left a gap for entry and exit, leaving only a thin layer of energy light curtain at the gate, which was more symbolic than practical.

But the situation inside the building was completely different from what the Zhongzhou team had expected. There were no high-tech creations everywhere like before, nor were there experimental instruments and culture dishes everywhere like Chu Xuan's personal room in the main god space... There was only a small old-fashioned church.

"Since this place is shrouded by the spiritual light of Arthas Menethil, this most central location naturally reflects the scenery of her mind."

Yang Yun, who was walking in the front, answered Zheng Zha's questions in the mind link. He stopped and motioned for everyone to look forward: "Look there."

——On the stage in front of the church, a silver-haired woman in a white wedding dress sat elegantly on a chair, immersed in a quiet sleep.

Although her skin was as pale as that of a deceased person, lacking the warmth of life, her peerless beauty was so stunning that it made people involuntarily fall for her, making everything in the world pale in comparison. The bright red line between her eyebrows, like a brand, not only did not diminish her beauty, but instead gave her an extraordinary noble temperament, as if she was born to be the queen who was high above...

At this moment, the queen of the undead had her eyes closed like the holy Virgin Mary in an oil painting. On either side of her was a frost blade and a skeleton warhorse tied to a pillar.

The ram horn pattern on the hilt had dimmed, and the soul fire in the head of the skeleton horse named "Invincible" no longer glowed. At the feet of the queen, the white skeleton cat named "Barbie" was sleeping quietly with her master, seemingly unaware of the arrival of the Zhongzhou team.

"That is Arthas Menethil..."

Looking at the flawless woman who looked like an ancient Greek statue, and the faint chill emanating from her, even Zheng Zha couldn't help but subconsciously become nervous, and quietly asked in the mind link: "Is she sleeping? Or is she healing? Or..."

"……do not know."

Even Yang Yun now found it difficult to understand Arthas's current situation. If it was in the conventional sense, then she was obviously a dead soul. No matter how hard Yang Yun tried, he could not sense the slightest life energy from her. However, the countless three-eyed people outside the building proved that Arthas had not really entered death at this time. At least her spiritual light still existed...

——Is this the spiritual light that is just one step away from reaching the emperor level? It is so powerful that it is unimaginable...

"Look in her arms."

Just as Yang Yun was thinking about Arthas' current condition, Chu Xuan suddenly spoke. The young man stretched out a finger and motioned everyone to look at Arthas' arms.

In the direction that Chu Xuan pointed, there was a flawless giant egg. It was alternating between bright and dim light in a unique rhythm, as if it was sending out a warning signal of lack of energy. This subtle change in luster gave people a feeling of uneasiness and mystery, as if there was some kind of power that was about to awaken inside the giant egg, waiting to be reactivated... "Give it a try." Seeing that everyone noticed the giant egg in Arthas's arms, Chu Xuan said calmly: "No matter what, we have to take action."

"……All right."

Yang Yun looked at the skeleton cat at Arthas' feet. In his memory, it was always talking nonsense, but now it was like a sleeping cat, resting its head on half a Barbie doll and not moving. Finally, he nodded: "Then give it a try."

As he spoke, Yang Yun mobilized the immortal power in his body, gently stretched out his hand, and transferred energy to the giant egg in Arthas's arms in front of him -

“——Kah.”

At the moment when Yang Yun injected energy into the giant egg, the giant egg, which had originally had no problems, suddenly made a slight and crisp cracking sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent space.

Then, an almost imperceptible crack quietly formed on the surface of the eggshell. The appearance of this crack seemed to trigger a chain reaction, becoming the first thunder that broke the silence. Then, more cracks quickly spread on the surface of the eggshell like a spider web. Under the interweaving of these cracks, the originally flawless eggshell became fragile, like a thin piece of ice that was about to break...

"Wait, Yang Yun, what did you do?"

Seeing the giant egg in Arthas's arms full of cracks and about to break, Zheng Zha was suddenly shocked and asked in the mind link: "What's going on? Shouldn't we do this? Or is there something wrong with the way you inject energy? Or is it..."

"...No, it's not our problem." Yang Yun frowned and looked at his right hand, and then looked at Arthas's face: "It's her own problem."

When everyone's eyes were focused on Arthas again, they couldn't help but take a deep breath, shocked by the changes before their eyes. Just now, the Frost Queen seemed extremely perfect and powerful, but now her cold and noble face was covered with countless tiny and dense cracks, which were surprisingly similar to the cracking of the giant egg.

These cracks started from Arthas's forehead and spread outward like a spider web, covering her cheeks, nose bridge, and even extending to her neck and exposed skin. Each crack was like an icy blade, as if it would tear her apart from the inside out in the next moment. This seemingly eternal frost queen was aging at an alarming rate...

At the same time, the shadows of the three-eyed people who once filled the surroundings outside the church, like eternal guards, began to dissipate one after another, as if they were wiped out by an invisible force without leaving any trace.

The frost that had originally covered the entire sky and dyed the world a cold white began to crack, and eventually turned into countless tiny fragments and completely melted away, turning into dust. All that was left was a desolate, deserted city and the completely deceased three-eyed queen sitting on a chair...

——As if this is what the world originally looked like.
