Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

On Jarilo-VI's Eternal Freeze Ridge, cold winds howl year-round, and heavy snowflakes dance through the sky.

The accumulated snow beneath their feet reached half a chi deep, each step producing a soft creaking sound.

The bone-piercing cold wind scraped against their faces like fine knives slicing skin.

March 7th trudged forward through the thick snow, and she turned to catch sight of Xing frozen in place beside her, completely motionless.

She hurriedly quickened her pace, reaching out to pull Xing's shoulder into her embrace.

"Xing? What's wrong?"

Dan Heng, Bronya, and Seele up ahead also heard and stopped, all turning to look at Xing with worry in their eyes.

They saw Xing clutching tightly at her chest, brows tightly knitted, lips pressed into a straight line.

Her expression revealed distress that couldn't be concealed, as if something heavy weighed on her heart, even her breathing becoming somewhat stifled.

"I don't know either, my chest suddenly feels stuffy and tight."

"Could it be the wound from fighting the boss before hasn't healed, and it's starting to hurt again?"

Xing, full of confusion, paid no mind to the surrounding gazes and immediately raised her hand to pull open her collar.

Wanting to check the spot where she was struck before, to see if the wound had flared up again.

"Ah~ Silly Xing, stop right now! Dan Heng's still here, how can you have not a shred of shame!"

Seeing this, March 7th hurriedly reached out to grab Xing, swiftly spinning her around so the others wouldn't see this rash scene.

Dan Heng's eyelid twitched violently, and he immediately turned his back to the two of them.

To avoid embarrassment, he didn't utter a word the whole time, leaving only a cold, aloof back view.

March 7th leaned close to Xing, lowering her head to examine her chest: "Wow~ So big~"

Then she patted Xing's back, soothing gently:

"Relax, there's no wound, not even a scar left, don't worry needlessly."

Hearing this, Xing instantly let out a breath of relief, her face showing not a trace of bashfulness; instead she leaned close to March 7th, grinning wickedly as she raised an eyebrow, teasing softly:

"Hehe, looks like the two of us are about the same, you don't be shy either."

In Xing's eyes, she always felt March 7th seemed more mature than herself.

This inexplicable maturity wasn't even reflected in Sister Ji Zi.

But March 7th's personality was the same as her own — both carefree and a bit silly.

"N-nonsense! This young lady is clearly much older than you, we're not the same!"

March 7th immediately turned her face away, her voice carrying a hint of bashful awkwardness.

March 7th tidied Xing's disheveled collar, raised her eyes to look at the surrounding wind and snow, her little face full of protective stubbornness:

"Hmph~ If we run into that little shorty again, this young lady will definitely give him a good scolding for you, to vent your anger."

At this moment, Chang Yue, residing within March 7th's body and sharing her vision and senses, chuckled softly in her heart.

Silently mocking: This little girl really speaks without filter; if he really came, you'd probably only go weak at the knees.

March 7th couldn't hear Chang Yue's inner voice, so naturally didn't know that the "he" in her mouth was precisely Destruction Prince Xuan Xing.

And at this moment, Xuan Xing had long been waiting for their group at the destination ahead.

"Hey, you two quit fooling around like this, we still have serious business, we must hurry and stop Kokolia."

Seele watched the two's improper behavior, helplessly pressing her forehead, her tone carrying a hint of urging.

"Don't delay, keep moving forward." Dan Heng also turned around, speaking calmly, his tone steady.

Just now he vaguely sensed faint sounds of combat coming from the distance, the aura exceptionally familiar.

He could almost be certain, the big nephew, had already arrived.

Simultaneously, on the Creation Platform where Jarilo-VI conceals the Stellaron, the freezing air was even more severe than elsewhere.

Kokolia clutched her right arm where blood wouldn't stop flowing, the cold from the wound spreading along her veins, pain turning her face deathly pale.

She raised her eyes, staring dead at the youth before her, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

That Stellaron, in the youth's hands, was docile as a kitten.

Not only did it not resist in the slightest, it instead actively emitted a faint glow to curry favor with him, this scene completely overturning her understanding.

Xuan Xing's fingertip tossed lightly, flipping the Stellaron twice in the air, the Stellaron spinning obediently in his palm.

He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also seemed to be telling Kokolia, his tone flat and without ripple.

"Mother Consort dispatched an Antimatter Legion over eight hundred years ago, chasing this Stellaron all the way to this planet.

To resist the Legion's invasion, you made a wish to the Stellaron, personally freezing all of Jarilo, exchanging it for a moment of ignoble peace."

Xuan Xing laughed lightly, but his eyes held no mirth, instead full of helplessness.

He clearly came to wrap things up.

Yet Deputy Grand Diviner Ai Li Ou keeps assigning him villain scripts, truly giving him a headache.

He sighed silently in his heart; though he is the Destruction Prince, his own face is gentle and eye-catching.

However you look at it, he's not a heinous villain, yet everyone treats him as a bad person.

These words he only dared think in his heart, not daring to speak them aloud.

If Ai Li Ou heard, afterward he'd probably assign Yin Lang tasks every day, leaving Yin Lang no time to pay attention to him.

"You really came!"

March 7th was the first to follow the aura and log into the Creation Platform; the moment she saw Xuan Xing clearly, her legs went weak in an instant, and she nearly fell sitting in the snow.

She had only been casually complaining out of spite just now; she never expected this big villain would actually be guarding here, waiting for them to walk right into the trap.

For a moment, she felt both panic and fear, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Night... hehe, meet again, remnants of the End King."

Seeing March 7th, Xuan Xing nearly blurted out the Night Queen's title of address.

He hurriedly corrected himself, his tone turning a few degrees colder, putting on the detached air of a villain.

"Mother!" Bronya stepped forward quickly, reaching out to support the tottering Kokolia.

Seeing her bleeding right arm, her heart ached unbearably; she immediately tore off a corner of her own clothes, wanting to bandage her mother's wound.

"He... he's very strong, Bronya, you go quickly, don't worry about me, hurry and leave this place."

Kokolia pushed away her daughter's hand, her gaze fixed dead on Xuan Xing in the air, her whole body tensed.

Maintaining vigilance at all times, afraid he would suddenly attack.

Xing gripped the baseball bat in her hand, held the bat horizontally before her, pointed at Xuan Xing, and questioned in a stern voice:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Xuan Xing immediately burst into loud laughter, lowered his head to look at Xing below, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"What do I want to do?"

He reined in his smile, gazed calmly at Xing, and spoke blandly:

"You're too weak, so I'll simply give you a hand, accelerate your growth journey."

As his words fell, Xuan Xing's whole body slowly floated up, the accumulated snow beneath his feet scattering in all directions in an instant.

He gripped the Stellaron with one hand, the vast Synchronization Power inside him suddenly erupting, dazzling light instantly sweeping across the whole of Ya Li Luo.

In just an instant, the hard ice and snow wrapping Ya Li Luo all retreated, the cold wind ceased, the lead-gray cloud layers dispersed.

A stretch of clear, azure sky was revealed, warm sunlight pouring down, a world apart from the frozen hell moments ago.

Yet not a single person present dared relax their vigilance; on the contrary, the sense of crisis in their hearts grew even stronger.

Because the entire earth began to tremble violently, rumbling sounds came from underground, and countless Void Soldiers surged toward this place.

Those Antimatter Legion Void Soldiers sealed in ice for hundreds of years all broke free of the ice and took form, densely surrounding the entire Creation Platform.

"All stand up! Welcome your new King!"

Xuan Xing stowed the Stellaron in his palm, spread his arms wide, the biting Destruction Power around him booming outward.

The pressure swept the whole field, warning all Antimatter Legion who their true master was.

"Hmph!" Dan Heng's brow furrowed tightly, he raised a hand and summoned the Cloud-Piercing Spear, the spear held horizontally at his side, its tip pointing straight at Xuan Xing.

He really couldn't stand this father and son pair, each one loving to put on this villainous posture.

"Damn it, there are too many Void Soldiers, we're surrounded."

Seele gripped the Purple Scythe in her hand, feeling the increasingly violent ground tremors, looking at the enemies endlessly welling up all around, her complexion sank.

"Stellaron Miss, now, do you know what I want to do."

Xuan Xing ignored the speechless look Dan Heng cast at him, directly turning his spearhead toward Xing, his tone carrying a touch of mockery.

Kokolia gritted her teeth, forcibly enduring the pain of her heavy injury, raised a hand and summoned the Flame Spear.

The spear tip blazed with roaring flames; she tilted her head back toward the Creation Engine in the air and ordered in a stern voice:

"I command you, rise! Creation Engine!"

The moment her words fell, countless crimson eyes suddenly lit up in the storm, the mountain-sized Creation Engine slowly rising.

Its massive iron fist, carrying the weight of a thousand jun, smashed fiercely down at Xuan Xing in the air.

"Go!" Dan Heng saw at a glance that Xuan Xing was deliberately holding back, not putting the Creation Engine in his eyes at all.

He no longer hesitated, gripped his spear and leaped up, rushing to attack Xuan Xing first.

"Hahaha, your courage truly delights me!"

Xuan Xing laughed loudly, his whole body's aura gently swayed, and he effortlessly knocked away the Creation Engine's iron fist.

Then he raised a hand and summoned a silver-white spear like the starry sky, spear in hand he met Dan Heng, the two instantly entangling in combat.

"Bronya, I'll cover your breakout, you go find Gepard immediately!"

Kokolia swept the Flame Spear horizontally, instantly crushing several Void Soldiers, and at the same time sternly ordered Bronya.

"Mother...."

"Go quickly!"

"I'll clear a path for you!" Seeing this, Seele gripped her scythe and plunged into the Void Soldier horde.

"We go help Dan Heng, can't let him face the enemy alone!"

March 7th immediately drew the Ice Bow, arrows condensed with frost, shooting toward Xuan Xing, her tone carrying a hint of determination.

"Okay!" Xing answered, gripped the baseball bat, and charged toward Xuan Xing.
