144: Powerful and terrifying! A race of frozen demons hidden within endless glaciers!

Space Barrier: Humanity's goal is the sea of stars! When the noah's ark and the Four Seas Fleet are together, the Space Barrier will activate, giving civilization a chance to cross the stars!

Break through worlds, cross the stars!

Just this one sentence was enough to demonstrate the preciousness of this skill!

Why couldn't the Origin Realm expand automatically?

Wasn't it because nearby resources were completely devoured, and it couldn't move itself?

Moreover,

this situation wasn't just faced by Su Bai; almost every Creator would face it!

The resources near a world are limited.

Waiting for resources to regenerate would take at least several years, or even decades. Such a long time severely delayed the growth rate of Creators.

It was precisely because of this that

the Creation Guild came into being.

Accepting missions, earning bounties, and exchanging them for resources to improve their worlds... This was the promotion process for most Creators.

Furthermore,

limited by their strength, the promotion speed of these Creators was like a crawl. A normal Creator would need at least several years to advance to Tier 1.

As their Tier increased,

the time span would also increase at an alarming rate.

Until finally,

reaching the Fifth-Tier was the limit for most Creators. It was precisely because of this that the Fifth-Tier was also known as the Creator's watershed.

Only by stepping past the Fifth-Tier

could one be considered a true Creator,

and not just cannon fodder on the front lines, resisting Zerg and the Abyss in the starry sky.

"As for collecting cosmic matter to improve worlds, it's not that no one has tried such methods, but without exception, they all ended in tragic failure due to the limitations of transcendent races."

Even transcendent beings

couldn't escape the restriction of absorbing oxygen, unless they were certain special transcendent races,

such as Brain Demons.

This race, originating from the Abyss, was naturally suited for the cosmos, didn't need to breathe oxygen, and could absorb cosmic radiation to enhance their strength.

They were also one of the most common races to appear from the Abyss so far.

And now,

Su Bai's skill

gave him the opportunity to explore the starry sky. Even the Saint Sons and Saintesses backed by Divine Domains couldn't compare to Su Bai in this regard.

This was an advantage unique to Su Bai!

With this thought,

Su Bai immediately made a decision:

"Cross the star river, salvage remnant worlds, and strive to reach the threshold of a Fourth-Tier Creator within the remaining time!"

As his voice fell,

the Origin Realm, which had just calmed down, immediately began to stir... At the same time,

as Su Bai embarked on the path of the Great Cosmic Era, on the other side, the other contestants also entered their final preparation stages.

In the vast starry sky,

in a desolate starfield, two specks of light moved intermittently, revealing two humans.

The one in front, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a compass-like object, frowned as he searched, while behind him, a chubby man followed with a worried expression,

unable to resist complaining, "Master, how long have we been searching? Are you reliable or not?"

The chubby man, referred to as Master, immediately jumped up, "What do you know, kid? This is searching for dragons and locating positions! Do you really think those naturally formed strange worlds are easy to find?"

"If it weren't for your special world, I wouldn't bother with all this effort!"

The chubby man's name was Duan De.

He was a mysterious Creator in the Great Xia Federation; no one knew his exact Tier, but it was rumored to be at least above the Fifth-Tier!

He was a character no one dared to provoke.

His purpose for appearing here now was very simple: to help his disciple improve the overall strength of his world before the Top 100 Competition.

Thinking of this,

Daoist Duan grimaced again, "Good heavens, finding True God remnant worlds wasn't this difficult back then. Why is it so hard to find a strange world for this kid?"

"Could it be that I've truly regressed?"

"Impossible!"

"My ancestors for eight generations were all tomb raiders. This skill shouldn't stop with my generation, right? No, no! I must prove myself!"

As he muttered to himself,

Ye Lanxin, behind him, had a mournful face. He wanted to suggest giving up, saying that with this time, he could have already given birth to a Gold Rank Red-Clad.

But looking at Daoist Duan's gritted teeth expression,

the clever chubby boy silently chose to keep his mouth shut.

Hmm,

less talk, more action; no mistakes!

...At the same time that the chubby Master was searching for a strange world,

on the other side of the star river,

a special world existed. Around it, the normally deep and desolate cosmos was filled with a peculiar kind of ice!

Like crystal, it reflected a dazzling light.

This was the Frozen World!

A naturally formed world, hidden in the void, usually showing no trace. Only a Creator who reached the Seventh-Tier could easily discover this hidden world.

At this moment,

with a soft sound,

a crack tore open in the barrier of this glacial world. An ice-blue gate opened, and two figures appeared in this realm.

The woman standing in front

had clear and cold eyes, like a celestial maiden untouched by worldly affairs, exuding an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Behind her

followed a youthful and beautiful girl.

It was none other than Jiang Ruyue!

And the figure in front of her was that ice-attributed Creator, possessing True God-level strength.

After Jiang Ruyue successfully advanced to the Top 100 Competition,

she fulfilled her promise and accepted Jiang Ruyue as her disciple. Now, she was searching for a hidden place of natural creation.

The cold woman did not stop.

She continued forward with Jiang Ruyue, eventually arriving at the end of this world, a deep blue glacial world!

In the center of the endless glacier,

a unique ice block stood, emitting a purple-gold light... "It seems to have come back to life."

The cold woman spoke faintly.

Jiang Ruyue was puzzled. The cold woman seemed to guess Jiang Ruyue's thoughts and spoke softly:

"Have you heard of the Frozen Demon race?"

The Frozen Demon race?

Jiang Ruyue recalled the description of this race; it was a very rare mythical race in this cosmos!

Born in extreme cold environments,

at birth,

they were frozen. As the duration of the freezing lengthened, the Frozen Demon's potential would also increase.

In her memory,

the strongest Frozen Demon to date was once thrown into a time vortex and frozen for a full ten thousand years!

Upon breaking the seal, he directly triggered mythical particles and ascended to the mythical level!

For a time,

he was unparalleled, even among myths, considered a unique and powerful existence!

Seemingly realizing something, Jiang Ruyue looked at the cold woman, who nodded slightly, "Indeed, this is a Frozen Demon that has been frozen."

"The freezing time... is probably around fifty years."

"If you can subdue this Frozen Demon alone, I will bestow it upon you as your apprenticeship gift."

"Conversely."

"If you cannot, it means you are only so much, and I will not pass on my true teachings to you. From then on, everything will depend on your own progress."

"So... do you understand?"

This was a test,

a test from a Seventh-Tier Creator. If she passed, she would soar to great heights, no less than a Saint Child in the Divine Domain!

If she failed,

she would fall to the bottom, losing all attention.

Jiang Ruyue didn't hesitate for long before nodding gently, "Okay."

These words somewhat surprised the cold woman.

"Aren't you afraid of failure?"

Who knew,

Jiang Ruyue raised her head, her eyes equally cold, like a glacier. She first shook her head, then spoke softly:

"Of course I'm afraid, but if I'm afraid of failure and shrink back, how can I become stronger?"

Of course,

more importantly.

If she fell behind here, later... she wouldn't even be able to keep up with Su Bai.

Such a thing... I don't want that!

Jiang Ruyue clenched her fists.

This scene,

falling into the cold woman's eyes, was instead seen by her as a determined action.

Immediately,

it made her satisfied with Jiang Ruyue's character. Her usually stern face now showed a very faint smile:

"Very good."

She nodded gently.

As her voice fell,

the ice-blue gate behind her also opened. In a short while, she vanished from her original spot.

From then on,

this vast glacial world was left with only Jiang Ruyue and the Frozen Demon.
