Chapter 536: Has the Light Returned?

Everyone leaned in to look, and sure enough, under the fractured surface of the ice, a human figure was clearly visible.

"Quick, quick, quick, dig it out and see. Be careful, don't crack the person," Negris hurriedly said.

However, at this time, Flash Feiti suddenly said: "I think it's better to figure out what's going on first. I just scanned with my will, and the ice is full of people."

Full of people? Everyone hurriedly scanned the ice with their will, but the ice layer was too thick. Although it had shattered into several large pieces, each piece also had a diameter of more than ten kilometers. What kind of concept was this?

【Siluke】

The highest mountain peak in the main plane was only over eight thousand meters high, and ten kilometers was equal to more than ten thousand meters. If it was full of people, it could hold the several hundred million people of the main plane.

And the density of the ice block was higher than that of soil, so the soul scan couldn't go very deep. It could only vaguely see that there were indeed many 'human figures'.

"Great God of Scales, please grant me eyes that see through all mist!" Anthony closed his eyes tightly, then opened them suddenly. Two bright beams of light shot out from his eyes, shooting into the ice block like searchlights.

The light penetrated, immediately reflecting countless human figures. They were lying horizontally and vertically, in various postures, frozen in the ice forever.

Although everyone was a heartless guy with wide experience, seeing this scene, everyone's heart couldn't help but thud.

"What's the situation? Why are so many people frozen inside? A massacre? Who killed them?" Du Luo Ken asked in surprise.

No one knew what was going on. Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Ang suddenly raised his right hand, and a large mass of soul fire popped up on his head, like a lighthouse of the soul.

A gentle soul fluctuation spread out, and everyone's heart couldn't help but calm down.

"Whispers of the soul? *Ku Ba Da*, when did this dead skeleton learn this? I thought he wouldn't use the Undead Godhood. It's too embarrassing for the God of Undead," Negris's heart calmed down, and it couldn't help but complain.

Diya Li's huge head stretched over and asked in a low voice: "Why does the Dragon God have Undead Godhood? Are you the Dragon God or the God of Undead? Or the God of Light?"

"All of them. The situation is very complicated. I'll explain it to you later," Negris replied in a low voice, and then asked curiously: "If we aren't the Dragon God, what are you going to do? Drive us away? Or fight us?"

Diya Li's head shook like a rattle: "I don't want to die. I will be very obedient."

"Smart!" Negris praised, and then comforted: "Ang is indeed the Dragon God, and I am also of the Dragon Clan. I used to be a brass dragon. You can call me the God of Knowledge."

Diya Li blinked her eyes and didn't make a sound, just retracted her head. Her face was full of suspicion. Such a small dragon dared to say it was the God of Knowledge. How could she believe it?

The whispers of the soul lasted for a short while. Ang put away the Undead Godhood and said: "No soul."

Anthony, Du Luo Ken, Flash Feiti, and Negris all couldn't help but gasp.

No soul? The meaning represented by this situation was very terrifying.

The soul is the most difficult thing to annihilate. Once there is a lot of soul energy, it will turn into death aura, lurking in various corners, and will pop out when it encounters a suitable environment, or become soil, or turn into a grudge spirit, or directly become soul fire, breeding various undead creatures.

To eliminate the soul, professional and precise operations are needed, such as holy light purification, fire burning.

Even sunlight cannot completely annihilate soul energy. They will hide in the crevices of soil, sand, and stone, and pop out again at night.

Unless it is days of exposure to the sun, there is no place completely without death aura. Only those endless desert wildernesses have it, but any rock cave or river ditch can find a little death aura inside.

Of course, the amount of aura is too small to even form a grudge spirit, and it has no meaning, at most making people feel a chill behind their backs.

But now, in the pitch-black void, there are countless human bodies frozen in ice, but there is no soul energy at all. What does this represent?

Negris guessed: "Too long when frozen, so all soul energy dissipated?"

Du Luo Ken immediately shook his head and said: "No, soul energy will contaminate these ice blocks and turn them into soil... um, death breath liquid, will turn them into death breath ice, will not dissipate, at least will not dissipate earlier than these ice blocks."

"Then, is someone specifically driving away or absorbing the soul energy?" Negris guessed again.

"Neither," Flash Feiti shook his head: "The ice layer is too thick. Even if someone can drive away the soul energy on the surface, the soul energy deep in the ice layer will not be driven away. As for absorption, without the adult's Undead Godhood, it is very difficult to attract the soul energy cleanly, and there will always be some residue."

Negris couldn't guess: "This is impossible, that is impossible. It's not possible that these people are still alive, right?"

Everyone exchanged glances and burst into laughter in unison. Frozen in ice for an unknown amount of time, and still alive? Then these people's lives are harder than undead creatures.

Just at this moment, Ang suddenly asked: "You guys, did you hear?"

"Hear? Hear what?" Negris asked in confusion, pricking up its ears. Others also expanded their perception, trying to listen, but heard nothing.

"Someone, talking: Light, there is light, has the light returned...?" Ang repeated.

Negris shivered and said fearfully: "We didn't hear it, but you heard it? You saw a ghost."

"What's there to be afraid of seeing a ghost? You find the Great Sage over, and you can see it every day. What's terrible is people. Frozen for so long and still able to talk—that's truly terrible. Adult, can you find who is talking?" Anthony asked.

Ang pointed his finger, then took out a bottle of pure water, opened the cap, and Tom popped out with a *gulu gulu*, condensing into a pure water little person.

Ang pointed to the ice block and said: "Find, the person talking."

"Okay," Tom replied. With a leap, it jumped into the ice block like diving, without splashing a drop of water, because it froze quickly.

"Yo, why is this Tom so obedient recently? Wasn't it very disgusted with this kind of impure water before? There are so many corpses in the ice, why isn't it disgusted?" Negris was surprised.

Anthony understood Tom very well and said: "It's not disgusted with impure water; it's disgusted with itself getting dirty and not being able to change back. Now that the adult can produce pure water that can burst it at will, it naturally has no worries. At worst, if it gets dirty, it can find the adult to purify it, just like the little angel."

"Right, this dead angel, she used to rely on Ang to help her recover, and would release big moves at every turn, roasting herself black. Now she can't change it. It's just that Ang spoiled her." Speaking of this, Negris felt a heat on its back.

Turning its head to look, it saw the little angel staring at it angrily, and a holy light shone over, sizzling smoke on its back.

"You dead child!" Negris scolded angrily, dodging in front of Ang. If the little angel shone again, it would shine on Ang.

The little angel put away the holy light and glared at it angrily.

Negris said irritably: "This dead child, you don't manage her."

Ang tilted his head and didn't speak, casting a Purification Spell on Negris to mean something. The little angel controlled it very well, just roasting it until it smoked, not even breaking the scales.

"But this dead child, her control of Holy Light Shining is getting better and better, and she can suppress the power so small." Negris muttered.

It's easy to increase the power of Holy Light Shining—just release it with all your strength. But it's not easy to lower the power. This involves the problem of control. If it's suppressed too low and can't be controlled well, it won't be able to 'shine' and will turn into other holy light.

Just at this moment, Ang pushed Negris aside and said: "Found it."

On the ice block, a little ice person popped up, then solidified and shattered.

The position where it popped out shattered a large amount of ice, sliding out continuously, and soon formed an ice cave, continuously deepening inward.

The ice cave continuously gushed out broken ice, more and more, soon filling the ground, and finally, a human body also slid out.

This was a woman, wearing a clean white dress, her whole body stiff, eyes closed tightly.

Anthony leaned in to look and said: "No breathing, no heartbeat, no soul fluctuation. Dead. It's just an empty shell. Tom, did you make a mistake?"

On the broken ice, a little ice person popped up: "You actually dare to doubt me, Water God Tom? This is an insult to me. We can fight one-on-one when we have time. I didn't make a mistake. I saw her talking with my own eyes."

After Tom finished speaking, it turned to Ang and said: "Adult, I am not pure. Can you help me purify?"

Ang cast a few Purification Spells to purify the impurities in Tom's body.

"Saw it with your own eyes? Impossible. Such an empty shell can't even be considered an undead creature." Anthony stepped forward, sacrificed holy light, shone it on the body, and finally came to her face.

The woman's eyes opened suddenly, revealing a pair of frost-like pupils, and she said weakly: "Light... holy light... it's holy light. Has the light returned?"
