"Come on, let's go outside."

......

After climbing the Persipune Wall again, Pers pointed out a direction for Perlis:

"Look, there is a frozen forest in this corner of Wanren Mountain. The Monarch family's bunker is in that forest. If you can see that... uh... anchor point? You should be able to go further, right?"

"Okay." Perlis nodded.

“It feels so convenient...”

Pace sighed, then as if remembering something, he took out a compass from his waist and handed it to Perlis:

"If it's hard to tell, use this to navigate."

"What is this?" Perlis took the compass and looked at the Wilkin-style dial and the red dot on the pointer.

"This is the God's Blood Compass, which contains the blood you gave to Aloi Aziz during the competition," Pace said, "Aloi needed your blood in order to find the God's Essence, but unfortunately I got there first."

So that's how it is... I was wondering why that guy even wanted blood, how weird...

Perlis looked at the compass with her own blood as its pointer with mixed feelings and said:

"See you later then."

"See you later. Remember to come back early. It's very cold over there in Wanren Mountain. Keep warm..."

Before Pace could finish his instructions, Perlis tore open a crack and went in, disappearing without a trace.

Looking at the place where Perlis disappeared, Pace was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head:

"This little princess is becoming more and more amazing."

......

8) Fireworks Spread Across the Prairie (Part 8)

Instead of traveling directly to the border of the Frozen Forest in one go, Perlis first came to Loton, looking for a place to stay from which she could further observe the Wanren Mountain.

Doing so will not only make it more stable, but also allow Perlis to review the path she has taken.

After the crack opened, Perlis landed on the bell tower. The city at the foot of the mountain was still shrouded in mist and rain, and the raindrops drifted onto Perlis's face with the wind, making her feel cool.

The last time I came to Lorton, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Perlis did not rush to travel again, but looked down at the city from the clock tower. What she saw was no longer the lifeless rainy and foggy city. The ancient streets were occupied by traffic, and people in different costumes were walking on the streets, becoming the blood of the city.

It is said that this is because Thebeth fully opened up foreign trade after Pess ascended the throne, and business exchanges with Dyla, the Kingdom, and E-Tran became more frequent. As a trade hub at the foot of Mount Thebeth, Loton naturally came back to life.

Without the ban, Thebeth became more like a country of living people.

"..."

Perlis searched among the rooftops that were quite I-Tran-style, and soon she saw the bar -

——The bar where she and Pace first met.

The bar is no longer as dilapidated as it used to be, and now there are many people queuing at the door. The shabby storefront has also been renovated, and there are signs all over the door.

When Perlis was confused, a newspaper floated over and covered her face. She struggled to grab the newspaper and pulled it, and saw the words on the front page at a glance:

"Would you like to see the revolutionary base where the new king of Thebeth, Pace Monarch, once stood? You are welcome at Monarch Bar, No. 85, Lower Loton!"

The contact person's name was Yuri Smirnov. Perlis didn't recognize this name, but she guessed that he should be from the Monarch family.

Wow, they actually used this thing to market the bar... It really seems like something the Monarch family would do.

Perlis sighed, threw the newspaper into the wind, and then turned to the Wanren Mountain and opened a crack again.

"Om-"

She shuttled through the crimson of the upper realm, and soon, a crack cut through the wind and snow, and Perlis once again came to a familiar place.

This time, she came to Monarch Manor.

This place is obviously no longer the permanent residence of the Monarch family. The manor has been completely transformed into a winery. The vines planted on the snow-capped mountains are still growing completely in the wind and snow. People come and go in the manor, talking and laughing.

The last time I was here...well...I was cheated by a young playboy. I even cried at that time. I felt so worthless.

Don’t cry for no reason anymore. You’ve grown up.

Perlis smiled gently, looking at the stone road in front of the manor entrance, she recalled the fear she felt when she faced Wanren Mountain alone for the first time.

It’s like when we were children, every child was afraid of the darkness at night, so much so that even when going to the toilet they were afraid that a ghost would jump out of the mirror and scare them.

As children grow older, they no longer fear the dark, but they also begin to have other things to worry about.

The same goes for Perlis, who is now acting alone, but without any panic.

At this moment, the little girl knew that she had grown up.

"..."

On the roof of the manor, Perlis took out the [God's Blood Compass], quickly calibrated the direction, and then cut open the crack again——

"bass--"

When the crack opened again, she landed in an icy forest. All the trees here were dead, and their surfaces were frozen by a thin layer of ice. The crystal clear branches refracted the light under the sunlight, like the colorful lights behind the window shining on the drizzle.

Perlis had already deployed her gene shield in advance, so the bone-chilling cold could not penetrate her skin. She couldn't imagine that there could still be such a cold place under such a gleaming sun, but after thinking about it, she didn't find it strange.

Isn't this the norm?

Perlis walked through the frozen forest, guided by the [God's Blood Compass] and the anchor point. The girl's white hair blended into the ice and snow scene, like a piece of snow falling on white paper.

After a long time, she saw the stone tablet of the Monak family.

So, the place that Pace was talking about... is right under your feet.

Perlis looked down, turned on her factor vision, and as expected, she saw the group of anchor points.

She slid the butterfly knife again, cutting open the crack—

"bass--"

When it jumped out of the crack, a burning sensation spread from all directions, accompanied by a strong flash of light.

Perlis looked around and found herself in a secret room surrounded by magma. The scorching heat and flashes made her factor shield flash continuously, resisting the strong pressure from the outside world.

She was standing in the center of the chamber, and beneath her feet the anchor was flickering more and more intensely.

"...!"

Perlis stretched out her hand, and a box emerged from the ground and came into her palm. She opened the box, and the exquisite and strange container appeared before her eyes.

The red source inside the container was flashing with strong light, which made Perlis's consciousness a little dazed for a moment, and made her fully realize that the missing part of herself was eager to be filled.

"..."

Perlis grabbed the container of [God Essence] with her hands and held it in front of her eyes. At this moment, a stream of information drilled into her mind -

"...Survive and reach the other side of the stars..."

"...No, I don't want to...I absolutely...don't want to..."

"...Then leave it to her, she will find it..."

"..."

The words ended in a flash, and Perlis was a little dazed for a moment. She blinked her eyes, shook her head, and tried hard to recall the words she had just heard.

That's what Mom said...Who did she say that to? Dad?

Perlis shook her head, she grabbed the bottle of [God's Essence] and took a deep breath.

She was missing a quarter of her source essence. Although she didn't know how much was in here, it should be enough to make up for it.

If this source substance is accepted, it would mean further control over the [Pure White Fireworks]. Considering the state when promoted to [Star Flame], it might be a great mental challenge.

And, once the source essence is complete, you will get the ticket to be promoted to [Star Seed]...

Pearlis' eyes were a little dim. She remembered what Alliwu said, and what Hassanka said, and suddenly she felt a little confused.

After becoming the [Star Seed], Perlis Hafrigard died, and what remained was the [Pure White Fireworks].

Allywood says that is the only way, is it really so?

Perhaps history will give the answer.

"..."

Perlis opened the bottle cap, and the scarlet source slowly flowed out of the bottle, spreading in the air and forming a ball of intertwined threads.

These threads quickly gathered towards Perlis's face, flowed into her nose, mouth, eyes, and gradually injected into her body.

A red sense of fullness gradually filled her field of vision, and Perlis felt that the world before her eyes was changing with countless ripples. Then, a series of sounds coming from afar floated past her ears.

Those people were shouting, calling out to her.

History is calling her.

...END...

(Interlude) Whisperer -7k long chapter-

932 Ezra

Frontline Base - East of the Great Wall

Ivar Sekepas sat silently in the dark little room, wiping his sniper rifle over and over again, his light green eyes lowered.

He is always used to staying alone in a dark place. This is a habit he brought from childhood. Only in a dark place can he feel at ease and do things more easily.

He came from a city at the foot of the mountain country, and had been surviving in dark alleys for as long as he could remember. The drizzle of Lorton was a jungle, and he was a survivor.

He was numb and dull until he was captured by Mikhail himself during the bank robbery.

At that time, Mikhail was not the Iron Lord, he was just the lord of the Irenforno family. He left the rainy jungle, ran to the mountains, and then went to the Federation after many twists and turns, and finally came to the other side.

He has never thought that he belongs to anyone. He is a survivor, and all his identities are means of survival.

"..."

A beam of light cut through the darkness, and the door opened. Ivar looked up and saw the graceful girl and the light in her eyes.

That was a light of mercy, and Ivar didn't think it was the light that should fall on him.

"Hmm?" he whispered.

"It's time to go," Hallilali said carefully, "Are you... okay?"

The girl's gaze was like a beam of light shining into a black box. Ivar didn't dare to look directly at it. He always felt that he would disintegrate in that light and lose the perception on which he depended for survival.

But he couldn't help it, flying insects always yearn for light sources.

"I'm fine." His voice was still cold.

"Well...it's not good for you to always stay away from them."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ivar looked up and found that Hallilali had walked in front of him and was looking down at him.

When he met those clear eyes, he felt his cold heart beating.

"I'm used to it." Ivar said coldly.

"Come on, I'll take you with me."

A white hand stretched out in front of him, and Ivar stared at it blankly, somewhat incredulous.

He instinctively wanted to grab that hand, but in the end he stood up by himself and passed by Harilalli:

"Let's go."

.......

A full six months has passed since the construction of the frontline base outside the Great Wall.

After spending so much time together, Edward had to admit that he simply couldn't understand Hallilali Havrgard.

She always exudes a childlike innocence, like a sun on this dark land. But in her deep eyes, Edward can always see something that does not belong to a child.

He couldn't see clearly what it was, which made him alert and frightened.

He didn't know what supported Hallilali's innocence. That thing was so strong that the light behind those blood-red eyes could even see through him.
