Chapter 411: Source Of The Eternal Winter

[In the sixth week of Eternal Winter, the surface temperature in major cities reached -100°C. In colder parts of the world, the temperature was even way lower.]

[At this point, only Winter Envoys could survive the surface. However, no Winter Envoys existed aside from you.]

[It wasn’t that there were no courageous or lucky people who had become Winter Envoys. Their nonexistence was due to you harvesting them and plundering their Winter Authorities to improve your Winter Principle.]

[Their improvement to your Winter Principle wasn’t that much, but it was better than nothing. You weren’t the type to waste resources, especially when you estimated that this Third Doomsday Life Simulation was about to end.]

[You felt that in the South Pole, something was about to awaken. It was none other than the source of this Eternal Winter apocalypse!]

[Those Winter Spawns existed solely due to its influence. Its subconscious release of the winter element while it was in slumber was what caused the Eternal Winter and the Winter Spawns to appear.]

[The source of the Eternal Winter was none other than the Spirit of Winter!]

[From what Hint Prompt had discovered, the Spirit of Winter was besieged by the Spirit of Summer, Spirit of Spring, and Spirit of Autumn.]

[Being ganged up by three of those Season Spirits, the Spirit of Winter ultimately lost that battle and was gravely injured. Due to sheer coincidence, a spatial crack appeared in their battle, which sucked in the Spirit of Winter and caused it to arrive in Terra.]

[The Spirit of Winter descended on the South Pole and fell into a slumber to recover from its injuries. During its slumber, it couldn’t completely control its power, causing the release of winter elements that doomed this world.]

[According to your estimates, it will completely awaken at the eighth week.]

[Fortunately, your Winter Principle had already reached 45.734% law fragment ownership, not far from achieving your goal of majority ownership.]

[’The Spirit of Winter will awaken from its slumber in the eighth week, which is the reason why this Doomsday Life Simulation will end in the eighth week.’]

[’Unfortunately, the Hint Prompt had already confirmed that if I were to prolong the Spirit of Winter’s slumber, it would be considered as dealing with the source of the apocalypse.’]

[’If I don’t eliminate it and just keep it in a sealed or slumber state, the doomsday life simulation will likely end due to completing the doomsday scenario.’]

[’However, completing the doomsday scenario with such an inferior method will likely yield fewer rewards, which isn’t what I planned to achieve.’]

[Due to this, you couldn’t prolong the doomsday life simulation. Doing so would only be detrimental to your plans of checking what simulation reward you’d receive for completing a doomsday scenario.]

[Of course, you had already informed Jade that you only had until the eighth week before you’d return to the Main World Terra.]

[Jade was quite understanding, and she didn’t mind. At most, she became clingier and always spent her time with you in the underground shelter.]

[As a master of multitasking, you naturally spent a lot of time with your wife while comprehending the Winter Principle and Apocalypse Authority through your multiplication avatar.]

[As you enjoyed your time with Jade, time flew by until it was already the eighth week of Eternal Winter.]

[The surface temperature on Terra no longer mattered at this point. After all, the entire surface of Terra was already overrun by zombies. No human remained alive by living in the residences on the surface.]

[In fact, almost everyone on Terra had died. Only a few hundred thousand were still alive, and it was due to them being the few elites who had the best underground shelter and abundant supplies.]

[As for the common people, they’ve all died. There was no exception. Well, there would have been if you hadn’t hunted those who had become Winter Envoys.]

[You speculated that if you hadn’t hunted those Winter Envoys, they could have carved a territory on the surface suitable for human habitation using their Winter Authority.]

[However, it no longer mattered whether they were still alive or not. The awakening of the Spirit of Winter was inevitable.]

[When the Spirit of Winter awakens, even those humans living in the best underground shelter would die, which was the reason why the doomsday life simulation will end in the eighth week.]

[After all, without your intervention, the human race will be extinct at the eighth week of Eternal Winter due to the Spirit of Winter’s awakening. Even those Winter Envoys wouldn’t be able to resist unless they’ve reached Principle-level in the Universal Law of Winter.]

[Knowing that the Spirit of Winter would awaken several minutes from now, you had already deactivated your multiplication avatar, staying by Jade’s side.]

[Hugging your arm, Jade asked, "Darling, are you that confident in defeating the Spirit of Winter? How strong is it compared to you?"]

[Due to focusing on spending a lot of lovey-dovey time with you, Jade never asked about it until now. Moreover, due to her power only being at Initial Starlight rank, Jade couldn’t detect the Spirit of Winter’s power due to it being stronger than her.]

[You replied confidently to Jade, "Comparing the Spirit of Winter to me is like a fly looking at the moon. The gap is that vast."]

["It’s merely a Peak Starlight rank powerhouse. It’s not even a False Celestial rank powerhouse, so it won’t be able to threaten me."]

[During the past week, your Winter Principle and Apocalypse Authority had progressed well.]

[Your Winter Principle was already at 58.934% law fragment ownership, not far from sublimating it to a Sovereignty. As for your Apocalypse Authority, it was stuck at 30% law fragment ownership.]

[Although you were only an Initial Celestial rank powerhouse, dealing with a Peak Starlight rank Spirit of Winter was quite easy, especially with the support of Celestial rank artifacts.]

[Even if you didn’t possess any Sovereignty and weren’t a legitimate Celestial rank powerhouse, you were confident that the Late Celestial-grade Death Papyrus would make up for it!]
