At the very moment cannon fire roared over Upper City and the castle fell into warfire, deep within the Brevis North Pole Ice Plains, four figures moved slowly across a silent snowfield.

The howling cold wind carried ice shards that struck the power armor with sharp crackling sounds.

Visibility was less than ten meters; as far as the eye could see, all was a boundless, ghastly white.

Dominic walked at the far left of the team, wearing a thickened polar combat suit beneath a dark cloak.

The sapphire ring on his right middle finger radiated a steady chill, completely concealing his spirit power traces.

Two Silent Sisters walked on either side, hoods covering their faces.

As Untouchables, their perception of spirit power fluctuations far exceeded that of ordinary people, making them the best scouts.

Walking at the very center of the team was a burly Mechanical Priest.

His lower body had been replaced with a snow-specific tracked mobile base, and his upper body bristled with various detection probes and sensors.

Optical lenses flickered with a dim red light, ceaselessly scanning the surrounding geology and residual energy.

Apart from the Mechanical Priest, the others rode three massive six-legged exotic beasts.

These exotic beasts were robust and highly adaptable, able to traverse all kinds of terrain quickly, better suited to complex ice-crack terrain than ordinary snowmobiles.

This was already their third hour deep into the icefield.

On the third anonymous letter, only a coordinate of the North Pole Ice Plains was marked, saying that the greatest secret of the Brevis Ice Plains was hidden there, along with the secret history of that great figure.

Dominic had originally not believed it.

But the information in the first two letters had proven true one by one; the truth of the Purge Plague Sect and the existence of Gene Thieves showed that the letter writer indeed knew some inside information.

Added to his lingering doubts about Lin En's origins—a down-and-out noble so young suddenly possessing such great power—

pacifying Green Skins, recapturing Dolido, methods endless, no matter how he thought about it, it was not simple.

As if driven by a ghost, he had come.

"How much farther?" Dominic lowered his voice, rising above the howling wind.

The sister walking at the very front stopped, raised her hand, and made a gesture: three kilometers ahead, a bowl-shaped valley.

Her sign language was quick, clean, and efficient.

Dominic nodded, signaling the team to continue forward.

The deeper they went, the lower the surrounding temperature became.

Though all was the North Pole Ice Plains, the cold qi in this area was clearly worse; even their exhaled white gas instantly condensed into ice shards, pattering against the cloak.

More abnormal was the absence of human traces.

Along the way, every few kilometers they could encounter hunting parties of icefield wildmen or temporary camps of Qi Diao Zhe.

But as they neared this valley, not a trace of biological activity could be seen around them.

It was as if all life was deliberately avoiding this place, treating the valley as a forbidden land that must not be stepped into.

"Something's wrong."

The other sister suddenly stopped and made a warning gesture.

She knelt on one knee, her gloved fingers lightly brushing the snow surface.

Her brow furrowed tightly beneath the optical lenses; the Untouchable force field at her fingertips spread slightly, sensing residual energy traces in the air.

Soon, she raised her head and quickly signed to Dominic:

【There was a large-scale spirit power outbreak here.

The intensity was very high, the energy level approaching an alpha-level spirit power shock.

The traces had been artificially erased, done very cleanly, but had not yet completely dissipated.

Time of occurrence... no more than a year, probably half a year ago.】

Dominic's pupils shrank slightly.

Half a year ago.

Exactly when Keli Feng arrived in Brevis and made a stunning debut in the Forbidden Wall War.

He subconsciously clenched his fist.

Something must have happened here.

And this matter might have some connection to Keli Feng.

"Priest," Dominic turned to the Mechanical Priest beside him, his voice low, "can you detect it?"

The Mechanical Priest said nothing; only his tracks slowly turned as he moved to the entrance of the valley.

All the probes on his body extended, piercing deep into the ice layer below.

A large number of scouting robots were released to probe all around.

Various detection instruments started simultaneously, data streams on the screens refreshing wildly.

A full hour passed before he stopped, his electronic synthesized voice carrying a rare gravity:

"Major General Adult, the detection results are abnormal."

"The ice layer structure in the central area of the valley was once completely destroyed, and deep geology shows glassified crystals."

"What caused this phenomenon was neither a conventional explosion nor a heat melt weapon."

"It was a high-intensity energy shock."

"And..."

The Mechanical Priest's optical lens turned toward the valley's depths, red light flickering.

"Beneath the ice layer, faint non-human gene residue detected."

"Database comparison failed, requires large quantity of reference samples..."

Dominic stood at the valley entrance, facing the bone-piercing ice wind, gazing at the white snow deep within the bowl-shaped valley.

Non-human gene residue.

Large-scale energy eruption, traces artificially erased.

Half a year ago, what exactly happened here?
