Chapter 2602: Chapter 1181: Humanity’s Homeland, God’s Paradise! (Part 2)

The face of this Nine Dragons Hall master was calm, but in his open eyes, there was a deep sense of regret.

Even in death, this regret remained frozen in his eyes.

Lin Baici felt that this Uncle Nine regretted not being able to fulfill his great wish!

"Uncle Nine had a disagreement with the Director of the Security Bureau, and after leaving the Bureau, he established the Nine Dragons Hall!"

Xia Hongmian explained, "He held onto his anger, always wanting to prove he was stronger than the Director!"

"So he came to Antarctica? To contain the First God?"

Lin Baici thought this Uncle Nine was quite driven, perhaps valuing glory too much.

"Yes!"

Xia Hongmian gestured mysteriously with her left hand, and ghostly flames emanated from her body, swirling around the block of ice like satellites.

The block of ice was melting.

"For him, saving humanity was the greatest achievement that could eclipse the Director!"

Such a man disdains small matters.

"What was the Director’s opinion?"

Lin Baici was curious.

"What opinion could the Director have?"

Xia Hongmian sighed bitterly, "Seven years ago, he died here!"

"To cover our retreat!"

In the cave, the cold air could freeze one’s heart, but it couldn’t freeze the passion of the resistors!

"..."

Lin Baici didn’t expect this answer.

He had thought the Director was a villain who had wronged this Uncle Nine.

"Uncle Nine must regret not dying here seven years ago, right?"

Xia Hongmian lamented.

Lin Baici wanted to ask Xia Hongmian, do you think so too?

The ice encasing Uncle Nine’s corpse melted, and since he was already dead, he couldn’t protect himself, so upon exposure to air, it began to decay.

Xia Hongmian dared not waste time, she crouched beside the corpse, and with her left hand, made a slicing motion in the air above the abdomen!

Hiss!

The abdominal cavity of the corpse was cut open.

Xia Hongmian reached in with her hand.

"..."

The scene was somewhat eerie, but Lin Baici knew Xia Hongmian wasn’t acting without purpose.

Sure enough!

A few seconds later, Xia Hongmian withdrew her hand, bringing out a roll of blood-stained bamboo slips.

Lin Baici leaned in.

There were words on the bamboo slip.

"Hongmian, I failed!"

"I still couldn’t surpass Old Tang!"

Old Tang was the Director who died here.

"But I’ve ruined all that guy’s arrangements over the years!"

"It’s building a beacon tower, and once completed, at the right moment, it will send a signal to its kin, telling them it has found a new habitat!"

The First God is not foolish, it knows directly descending upon the Human Kingdom would trigger a war, because there are talented elites among humans too.

Otherwise, thirty years ago, upon first landing on this planet, they would have already taken control, instead of being driven back into God’s ruins, unable to step beyond the thunder pool.

The First God planned to use Great Antarctica as a foothold, though its environment is harsh, it also means humans won’t tread there.

Very safe!

So the First God kept expanding the scope of Antarctica Divine Ruins, though it was severely injured during the great battle seven years ago and needed to recuperate.

On this planet, the biggest problem is the lack of Life Essence, so the First God could only rely on self-repair, unable to replenish through external means.

But it’s not in a hurry, because building the beacon tower also takes time!

Once the beacon tower is completed, the waves will sweep across the starry sky from here, skimming their escape route, until they reach their homeland.

At that time, all its kin will receive the signal and head this way.

What Uncle Nine meant by destroying the First God’s arrangement was destroying the beacon tower.

The First God had to send out a signal wave once before the beacon tower was completely destroyed.

This signal wave, not only had a short range but was also untraceable.

This is why the meteor showers carrying God’s bones landed randomly, due to a lack of guiding coordinates.

The First God had no choice because the Advanced Team was down to just it alone, and if it died, no one else could serve as the lighthouse to guide its kin on their escape route.

It had to bring a few kin back as seeds!

Even if it’s just one!

"All the Divine Grace and the power of the Divine Territory of that guy are recorded here, Hongmian, go and kill it!"

"This is humanity’s homeland, it will never become a paradise for those gods!"

"Hongmian..."

The handwriting at this point became messy and hard to discern, most likely words of encouragement.

Xia Hongmian carefully read through the bamboo slip, then handed it to Lin Baici, and afterward, she stood up and snapped her fingers.

Pa!

Countless sparks burst from her slender fingertips, like fireflies, falling onto Uncle Nine’s corpse.

Boom!

The corpse caught fire.

"Uncle Nine, rest in peace!"

Xia Hongmian bowed again.

The body quickly burned to ashes, scattered onto the ice layer.

Xia Hongmian called to Lin Baici and went to the edge of the ice lake, then raised her right hand, slightly curling her fingers, and grabbed fiercely.

Crack! Crack!

Lin Baici felt as if in an earthquake, the space around him trembled violently, being torn apart.

In the next second, the huge thick ice layer began to crack, countless large web-like cracks spreading rapidly.

Xia Hongyao clenched her right fist and swung it to the side!

Rumble! Rumble!

The ice layer heaved violently, and with that, it shattered completely, exposing the ice lake below.

The murky black lake water swirled with ice chunks, rippling.

"Are we jumping in?"

Lin Baici saw no other way, so it meant jumping into the lake.

"After jumping into the lake, remember not to swim, just let your body sink on its own!"

Xia Hongmian advised, "If you start swimming and it’s not in the right direction, you will never leave the lake and will drown inside."

"Is it that terrifying?"

Lin Baici frowned, realizing there was no margin for error: "Which direction did you swim the last time?"

"The last time I came, it was downward!"

Xia Hongmian explained, "But each person is different!"

"So this time, I can’t guide you, it’s all up to you!"

Lin Baici looked at the black lake water, seeming to smell a stench of decay.

"If you regret it now, it’s still not too late to go back!"

Xia Hongmian softened, worried that Lin Baici might die, which would be a huge loss.

Maybe in a few years, Lin Baici would become the world’s number one, then it wouldn’t be too late to hunt the Antarctic God.

"Now that I’m here, what’s the point of going back?"

Lin Baici chuckled, "Either die or win!"

"When do we set off?"

Lin Baici never retraces his steps.

Xia Hongmian noticed that Lin Baici had not a hint of hesitation.

"Red Medicine is truly fortunate to know you in this lifetime!"

Xia Hongmian, not being one for delay, finished speaking, then teleported to the air above the lake.

"Right now!"

Xia Hongmian said and then plunged into the lake.

Lin Baici took a deep breath and also teleported. A second later, with a splash, he plunged into the lake.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ice-cold lake water rushed through the sleeves and collar, soaking the clothes.

Even someone as strong as Lin Baici shivered in an instant, wanting to curl up.

It was too cold!

The soul felt as if it would freeze to death!

Lin Baici remembered Xia Hongmian’s words, fighting the urge to survive, he remained still.

Blub! Blub!

The air bubbles Lin Baici exhaled floated upwards, while he himself sank, as if descending to the world’s end.

The lake water was so dark, visibility was zero, and apart from the pervasive cold, he felt nothing else.

Find the right direction?

Lin Baici was already disoriented, questioning whether he was actually sinking.

This could easily be an illusion.

Find Xia Hongmian, and see which direction she’s swimming?

That option was gone, now he could only rely on himself.

"Eater God, it’s time to work!"

Lin Baici shouted in his heart.
