819: Extreme cold creatures, piercing alarm

Mars appeared somewhat quiet.

The crimson storms that once swept across the surface of Mars incessantly had now vanished without a trace.

All that remained was a land frozen by ice crystals.

And dozens of base cities standing across Mars, which had already been targeted by Extreme Cold Creatures.

How should one describe Extreme Cold Creatures?

Some looked very strange.

A gust of cold wind, a piece of irregular ice, or a straight, hollowed-out icicle could all be self-aware Extreme Cold Creatures.

Some looked very much to Yang Dian's taste.

An Ice Phoenix with a ten-meter wingspan, a perfectly arched back, and a gorgeous blue tail dragging for dozens of meters, resembling the Phoenix from Huaxia mythology.

A silver wolf, about three meters tall, with wings on its back and a snow-white body.

A group of Flying Swords, shaped like swords, wandering in packs across the surface of Mars.

A humanoid nine-tailed fox with a bewitching appearance...

Animals from Earth, and even Divine Beasts and Demonic Beasts that only exist in myths and legends, could all find their prototypes in those Extreme Cold Creatures.

"Do you think these Extreme Cold Creatures were originally like this, or did they only grow this way after receiving and analyzing the information contained within Earth?"

Hearing Lao Bai mutter, Yang Dian shook his head:

"This is my first time seeing these Extreme Cold Creatures, and I don't know any more about the Extreme Cold Zone than you do."

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

As he spoke, Yang Dian rubbed his chin and looked at the Extreme Cold Creatures, lost in thought:

"However..."

"However what?" Lao Bai leaned in close to Yang Dian, looking curious:

"Did you think of something?"

Yang Dian shook his head slightly, saying somewhat uncertainly:

"Those Extreme Cold Creatures seem to have whetted my appetite."

"Appetite?" Lao Bai tapped the table twice. "Could it be that those Extreme Cold Creatures have special energy organs inside their bodies, similar to a 'Golden Core' or 'Demonic Core', that could be helpful to you?"

"Or perhaps..."

The two exchanged a look and said in unison:

"They are heaven and earth treasures!"

After saying this, Yang Dian continued:

"Do you remember that on Earth, the most common type of Awakened are those with ice-attributed talents?"

Lao Bai nodded:

"I naturally remember."

"Not only do I remember that those with ice-attributed talents are the most common among the Awakened on Earth, but I also remember that among all the Awakened, those with ice abilities are even more powerful."

"Back when the probability of Awakening was only one in ten thousand, there were only a few dozen city-level Awakened in the whole world."

"But among these few dozen city-level Awakened, there were eight with ice-attributed abilities, accounting for more than ten percent."

"And it's not just the Awakened."

"Even the ice-attributed heaven and earth treasures and objects born on Earth are exceptionally numerous."

"I once looked for the reason why Awakened with ice abilities, as well as ice-attributed heaven and earth treasures and objects, were so numerous and powerful, but I never found it."

"Now it seems that the source might be here."

Yang Dian swallowed hard.

"So, this Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone has been influencing Earth from such a great distance..."

Lao Bai closed his eyes and performed some calculations:

"The gravity influence range of a normal neutron star is between 1 and 2 light-years, and its radiation range can reach thousands of light-years."

"We weren't very close to the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone before, but we weren't that far either."

"If we convert the influence range of the Extreme Cold Zone into stars and then compare it to super-powered beings."

Yang Dian let out a slow sigh of relief:

"It shouldn't be comparable to a neutron star."

"Fifth-order stellar level, or close to a neutron star, half-step sixth-order, at most just entering the sixth-order level."

Lao Bai shook his head upon hearing this:

"If it's a life form, then its life instinct will suppress the release of its own pheromones, so we can't look at it like a normal planet."

"However, regardless, it shouldn't be at the black hole level."

As the two whispered to each other, a red light suddenly flashed in the conference room, followed by a piercing alarm...
