I work as an editor at Marvel.

"Hello!!!" Mo Yalin shouted loudly, and the snowflakes in the sky were shaken to other places by the sound.

"Hmm? Hello, could you speak a little louder? I... can't hear you?" A voice responded from inside the mountain.

Mo Yalin glanced at Mo Ling with surprise. He had really succeeded by sheer luck. But Mo Ling should do the calling from now on.

"I am the chieftain of the mountain giants, who are you?!" Mo Ling took a deep breath and roared.

"I...can't hear very well, why don't you come closer?" The creature in the mountain didn't seem to have very good hearing.

Mo Ling pondered for a moment and gestured for the others to stay here. If it turned out to be a trap, the younger generation could at least preserve a spark of hope if they survived.

After running all the way to the top of the mountain, Mo Ling sat down. From here, he could no longer see Mo Yalin and the others. Only when he got here did Mo Ling realize how big this mountain, which was formed by the body of a mountain giant, had become.

"Hello, can you hear me now?" Mo Ling cleared his throat and shouted.

"can."

The ground beneath Mo Ling's bottom trembled twice, indicating that the person who spoke was not far away.

"My name is Mo Ling. Who are you?"

"Me? My name should be Murphy..."

Murphy? Mo Ling's mind raced for a moment. He had never heard of this name before, but the surname Mo was usually only used by mountain giants.

"This name was given to me by a little guy just like you. He was sitting here too, and I thought it was a good name, so I decided to change it to this." Murphy was much more energetic, and his speech was no longer hesitant.

"Little guy?" Mo Ling looked down at himself. Although he wasn't very tall, at over twenty meters tall, he couldn't really be considered a little guy.

"May I ask, who was that little guy back then? Do you remember him?" Mo Ling asked respectfully.

“Ah, Murphy? Sorry, it’s been so long, I don’t remember it very well,” Murphy replied.

Mo Keng?!

That was the chieftain of the Mountain Giants a thousand years ago, back when the Mountain Giants weren't as powerful as they are now.

"Have you met Mo Keng?"

"Yes, it's a pity that when I woke up, he was almost asleep."

Asleep? It probably means dead. If that's the case, it was probably more than 800 years ago?

“Those are my ancestors. Could you please introduce yourself?” Mo Ling asked respectfully.

"Introduce yourself? I don't know how to introduce myself. I've been sleeping here for a long time and rarely wake up," Murphy said.

"So how did you wake up this time? And did the energy that entered our bodies after we got here come from you?" Mo Ling thought it would be more efficient to ask the questions himself.

“It wasn’t me who provided it, it was them, those guys who turned to stone near me.” Murphy’s voice was muffled. “I’m grateful to them, it was because of them that I discovered something that wasn’t quite right.”

Mo Ling now understood. This Moffert was probably the Monolith, and the "they" that Moffert mentioned were most likely the ancestors of the Mountain Giants. It seemed that the ancestors had saved the lives in the Monolith by choosing it as a collective graveyard, and now they were beginning to save the entire Mountain Giant race.

"As for how I woke up, I heard Anivia's voice. She began to revive, and the fluctuations she emitted awakened me," Murphy continued.

"Who is the Anivia you mentioned in the air?" Mo Ling continued to ask.

“A proud ice phoenix. I remember she left this place a long time ago, and I haven’t heard her voice for a very long time, but a few hours ago, her voice rang out again,” Murphy continued. “And it’s not far, just in the glacier ahead.”

Ice Phoenix? What kind of creature is that?

Mo Ling felt that he didn't seem to know as much about the area around the tribe as he thought. "Sorry, we don't seem to have seen any ice phoenixes in that direction."

“You won’t be able to see her. She’s in the process of rebirth and won’t let others find her easily, otherwise she’ll have to move to another place and start all over again,” Murphy explained. “The current environment is perfect for her rebirth. If there are no accidents, you won’t have to wait too long before you see her.”

Mo Ling blinked. "When you say 'not too long,' how long do you mean?"

“A hundred or two hundred years? Maybe even less.” Murphy seemed to think that Mo Ling was worried that Anivia would hurt them, and continued, “Although she is proud, she is very easy to get along with, especially since you have created such an environment for her.”

"If the environment you're referring to is the decreasing temperature and the constant blizzards, then this isn't something we created." Mo Ling was a little embarrassed; if he could, he would like to eliminate this environment.

"Not you guys?! Doesn't anyone else have any objections to this unbalanced elemental environment?" Murphy asked.

"Others? Who are you referring to?"

"Voliber and Ornn. Volibear is one thing, but Ornn generally doesn't like this cold environment. He should be discussing elemental matters with Anivia."

Mo Ling spun these names through his mind, and then regretfully realized that he had never heard of any of them. Could it really have happened on this land?

"Have you heard of Lao Fei?" Mo Ling asked after thinking for a moment. "The chieftain of the Frost Giants."

“Lauf? No, and I’ve never heard of any Frost Giants. Anivia isn’t particularly fond of creating life; at most, she’ll protect life that has already been born,” Morpheus continued.

Mo Ling was completely stunned. He seemed to realize something. There were no giants. That must have been at least 100,000 years ago. Nobody knew what Jotunheim was like back then.

Wait a minute, isn't Murphy a life form within the monolith? The monolith has only been in existence for a little over two thousand years.

After posing this question, Murphy laughed twice.

"I just found this rock very comfortable and perfect for sleeping, so I moved my recovery area here."

"Recovering from injuries? Who is your enemy?"

"Enemy, not enemy, just a little conflict. Volibear felt that many of the high mountains I created were blocking the wind and storms, and he wanted me to make them shorter. I didn't want to agree, so I discussed it with him. By the way, we agreed to discuss it again in ten thousand years, but it seems like I haven't seen him for a long time."

“Furthermore, it seems the ley lines have been severed by someone. Do you know who it was? I plan to talk to him after I wake up.” Murphy’s tone became much sterner. “If the ley lines were functioning normally, I should have woken up long ago!”

“I don’t know, but is there anything we need to do? How can this ley line be restored?” Mo Ling asked.

“You’ve already done it. The mountains they formed while they were asleep connected me back to the ley lines.” Murphy’s tone returned to its initial calm. “Without them, I would probably have needed to sleep for several thousand more years? Haha, that’s not too long.”

Mo Ling was speechless. When interacting with such a super long-lived species, the mountain giant's sense of time seemed a bit out of sync.

"Alright, little one, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I need to go to sleep. I need to wake up before Anivia. I have a lot of questions I want to ask her." After saying this, all that reached Mo Ling's ears was the sound of snoring.

Chapter 386 If there's a disagreement, we can discuss it. Even physical discussion is still discussion.

"Mo Yalin, did you see the Ice Phoenix that the clan chief mentioned?"

"No, I didn't see anything except two damned frost giants!" Mo Yalin said through gritted teeth. They couldn't approach their hunting grounds because of those greedy guys.

"I think since we didn't see them, we should give them some space to avoid giving those guys a reason to cause trouble."

"You're right. Sooner or later, I will return to our own land openly and honestly!"

As he spoke, Mo Yalin lowered his head and withdrew from the observation hole he had dug in the snow.

In the distance, after confirming that Mo Yalin and the others had left, a Frost Giant warrior lowered his grip on his weapon and looked helplessly at another Frost Giant who was slightly shorter than him. "Third Prince, let's go back. It's too close to those foolish guys here; it's very dangerous."

“Karl, don’t say that. They are giants too. Never mind, sigh~” The third prince shook his head, jumped off his mount, and looked at the prey buried in ice and snow below. “At least, we shouldn’t have been so ruthless.”

“You’re too kind. If it weren’t for those guys dragging us down, how could we have lost that war? Those Asgardians weren’t even as big as my arm, a bunch of damned dwarves.” Karl kept cursing, venting his resentment towards Asgard.

The third prince remained silent. As Laufey's son, he was entitled to see the real archives. What was written there was quite different from what was being publicized now. The part about the external enemies was one thing, but the other Titans at that time not only did not hold us back, but fought back together with the Frost Titans.

However, since the war was lost, there had to be someone to bear the consequences. Rauf took advantage of the other giants' shared hatred and quietly shifted the burden onto other races of giants. From that moment on, the frost giants on this planet began to hate all other giants.

As the beneficiary, the Third Prince had no right to say anything. His current position was inseparable from Laufey's decision at that time, but he always believed that, at least now, with Asgard in serious decline and Jotunheim no longer needing to pay compensation, this relationship should begin to improve.

“Prince, you really don’t need to worry so much anymore. Lord Rauf said that with the help of that Titan, we will be able to conquer Asgard sooner or later and wash away all the humiliation.” Karl imagined the bright future that he envisioned.

The third prince remained silent. He had always opposed cooperating with Thanos, but no one could refuse Laufey's orders on this matter, not even his own son.

The Third Prince still can't understand why he accepted Thanos's persuasion. That guy wasn't much better than the Asgardians. Even without considering the damage after the war started, just the thought that half of the Frost Giants would evaporate into thin air after Thanos succeeded was unacceptable to him.

Despite what Lauf had told the Third Prince and the others in private, it was the same that members of the royal family would not be among those randomly eliminated.

Thinking of this, the third prince turned to look at Karl, the fanatical guard his father had arranged. Perhaps Karl didn't know that even after victory, his fate would be tied to a die whose rotation no one knew.

"Prince, are we going back?" Karl sensed a strange meaning in the Third Prince's gaze, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Let's go." The third prince pulled on the reins, mounted his horse, and said. He planned to go back and discuss it with his father, King Laufey. Cooperating with Thanos was like asking a tiger for its skin, which was not the best choice from any perspective.

As the two turned around, a cracking sound suddenly came from under the ice, as if an underground river had broken through the solid ice layer, causing it to shatter.

The third prince turned around and looked back. Instantly, a blue light filled his vision. The biting cold that followed was unbearable even for a prince with the blood of an ice giant flowing through his veins. It felt as if he was about to be frozen solid.

Eek!

With a cry, the ice shattered into pieces, and the bulging glacier lifted the Third Prince and Karl into the air. Just when they thought they were about to fall to their deaths, a cold wind appeared beneath them and caught them. At the same time, the snow on the ground suddenly rolled up and formed a softer cushion, catching them below.

What is that?!

The third prince stared in astonishment at the enchanting ice phoenix soaring in the sky. He had never seen such a creature before; it was so beautiful that it seemed to exist in the human world. The ice crystals scattered from its outstretched wings formed a stunningly beautiful landscape in the sky.

"Watch out!" Karl drew a shield from his back and rushed in front of the Third Prince, using the shield to block the falling icicles.

However, the slowly falling icicles did not seem as dangerous as Karl had thought. Although they looked quite sharp, they were just snowflakes that had changed shape. They landed on the shield without making a sound.

"Don't be too nervous. If she had any ill intentions, we would be dead already." The Third Prince patted Karl on the back. Falling from thousands of meters in the air without any cushioning, even they would probably be turned into a meat pie with a thud.

While the two were talking, Anivia circled in the sky a few times, then turned and flew in another direction.

"Come! Follow me back to report to Father!" the third prince shouted, then turned and left with Karl. The two mounts were a little frightened, but still rideable.

On the other side, Mo Yalin, who had just left, looked up at the sky with his mouth agape.

"Ice...ice...ice phoenix!"

"I saw it! She really exists!" Mo Yalin said, his mouth agape as he watched Anivia head towards the monolith. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. "Quick, let's go back to camp! Something's happened!"

Anivia, high in the sky, absorbed the power of the surrounding frost and weakly flapped her wings. She had not fully recovered yet, but she heard everything the two frost giants said, since they were standing on the ice above her head when they spoke.

The message conveyed by Karl's words infuriated Anivia. Having established contact with the Human Alliance, she naturally understood the meaning of the word Thanos. That purple-headed terrorist was a terrorist who wanted to wipe out half of all life. How could anyone be willing to cooperate with such a guy!

However, after hatching from the egg prematurely, Anivia realized something: her power had not yet recovered, and that Rauf might not be easy to deal with. As for calling on the Human Alliance for help, it didn't seem very reasonable, since the Human Alliance had not only not established diplomatic relations with Jotunheim, but the two were even in a state of implicit hostility.

After much deliberation, Anivia decided to consult with an old friend. She hadn't sensed the power of Volibear or Ornn on the planet, and Malphite's fluctuations were so obvious and so close, so who else could she turn to but him?

On Dushi Mountain, Mo Ling was considering whether to move his clansmen to live on the mountain, since it would save a lot of food.

Before he could figure it out, Mo Ling felt a tremendous force erupting from the direction of the glacier, and then this force quickly flew towards him.

"Don't be too nervous, that's Anivia."

Murphy seemed to be awakened by this power as well, and spoke up to calm Mo Ling down, who was preparing to enter battle.

Anivia? The Ice Phoenix?

Mo Ling became interested. He also wanted to meet this person who was on par with Murphy, so that he could learn about Murphy's situation from another angle.

A minute later, a giant phoenix with a wingspan of over twenty meters flew through the natural barrier formed by Dushi Mountain and landed on the summit of Dushi Mountain with a strong wind.

"Lava Behemoth, I know you're awake. Come out and talk to me!" Anivia ignored Moring beside her, tapped her claws on the mountainside, and spoke in a slightly commanding tone.

"I have a new name now, call me Murphy. Also, don't scare the other children." Murphy's buzzing voice came from the mountain, much clearer than before.
