The sky above Warrior Peak was always covered with clouds. It was obviously a relatively safe climbing period, but the violent wind and snow swept everywhere, making it almost difficult to see anything in the vast sky.
However, there are still people who insist on climbing up in this environment.
Even though the fingers in the leather gloves had lost all feeling, and even though his face was covered with ice shards, Xia Shu always moved closer to the light above the mountain top.
Coming soon!
Looking at the extremely difficult and dangerous last section, which was completely a vertical cliff at the top of the mountain, Xia Shu paused for a moment, endured the cutting feeling of every breath, gritted his teeth and continued climbing.
He didn't know why when he was climbing a mountain, the environment suddenly became worse than usual, and the low temperature almost exceeded the limit of the human body.
Fortunately, at level 2, he already has super adaptability and super vitality. With his life potential stimulated, he is finally approaching the end.
"Wow!"
There is a platform on the top of the mountain. A ring of light is slowly rotating in the wind and snow. It seems to have been there forever. The closer you get, the more you can feel the mysterious atmosphere.
"Is this the origin of the light?"
Natsuki used all her strength to grab the edge of the platform, stretched out one leg to put on the platform, and finally rolled her whole body up with all her strength.
Only then could he get a glimpse of the true face of the Circle of Light.
Although he was too tired to move and his breathing was like a broken bellows, Natsuki stood up unsteadily and walked towards the circle of light step by step.
No one has climbed to the top of the warrior's summit for a long time, and he has climbed up!
He didn't leave midway due to weather changes like others, he actually came here!
Standing in front of the ring, Natsuki held her breath and stretched out her slightly trembling right hand to explore the radiant light that rippled in the center of the ring.
Why is the resistance so strong?
Zizzi!
While Xia Shu was in shock, the surrounding wind and snow suddenly intensified, and the top of the Warrior's Summit filled the sky with lightning flashes.
"Uh-huh!"
The light from the ring of light suddenly erupted, sending Natsuki flying away.
"Why?" Natsuki looked at the ring of light that rejected him in disbelief, even ignoring the intense pain in his hand.
He wanted to try again, but he was still greeted by the violent electric light. When he reached out and touched the center of the ring, his body seemed to be torn apart.
will die……
Natsuki gasped and took the initiative to break away and retreat.
Looking at the circle that had regained its calmness, it was like being poured a basin of ice water on it, and the last trace of fire in my heart was completely shattered.
Why?!
Now that we are here, he is not the chosen one!
This is an opportunity, yes, but it is not his opportunity...
So what does his hard work for so many days mean?
"Ahem!"
Natsuki fell to her knees exhausted in the lonely cold wind.
The reality is sometimes so cruel, and hard work may not necessarily lead to results.
The Circle of Light has its own will, and I'm afraid he was destined to have no chance from the time he disliked the Circle's mission.
Or maybe the Circle of Light doesn't recognize his qualifications at all...
"But I won't regret it!" Xia Shu looked at the circle of light with one hand, gritted his teeth and shouted, "At least I have done something that other people in the universe can't do, even if there are many beings stronger than me...
Whether you admit it or not, I am the strongest warrior on this planet!"
…
"Boom!"
The thunder snake exploded above the warrior's summit.
Settlements.
Hong Kai and Jia Gula have been watching the direction of the Warrior's Summit.
Nearly two months have passed since Natsuki entered the mountain. Other challengers have already returned one after another, but there is still no news about Natsuki.
It is said that the environment at this year's Warrior Summit is worse than ever before...
"Jagula! There is..." Hong Kai suddenly widened his eyes and saw a figure walking vaguely in the snowstorm.
"call--!"
The wind and snow mixed with hail kept washing the faces of Hong Kai and Hong Kai. When they got closer to the figure, they finally saw clearly Natsuki, who had almost turned into an ice man.
"Brother Ashu!!"
…
In the shelter, it took several days for Natsuki to regain consciousness, and the voices of old soldiers and a doctor could be heard vaguely in her ears.
"Incredible, how did he survive? An ordinary person would have died of pulmonary edema even if he had not been frozen to death..."
"With such a strong vitality, he is simply a born warrior," the old warrior sighed. "It's a pity that he failed to reach the top of the warrior."
"He is still young and will have plenty of opportunities in the future," the doctor said goodbye. "Then I will leave first. Considering his physical condition, there is no big problem."
Xia Shu opened her eyes, watched the old soldier and the doctor leave, and sighed secretly.
He has already reached the top...
At present, it seems that we can only try to use the Divine Light Mirror to travel to other time and space after recovering well.
This is his only hope.
Although he could stay and let Hong Kai take him through the universe after becoming Orb, it was never his character to rely on others.
And I don’t know how long it will take until Hong Kai and the two grow up. Will he really be able to evolve by then?
He is different from Hong Kai in that his genetic prototype is just an ordinary earthling...
"Dad!" The children's exclamations suddenly came from outside. It seemed that the old soldier was fighting with someone.
what happened?
Natsuki struggled to get up and walked out of the room, and found that a group of villains had surrounded the shelter. The leader was a notorious space mercenary in the settlement, who was currently staring at the children who were protected by the veteran soldiers.
Before he went to the Warrior's Summit, he heard rumors that a mysterious organization was collecting orphans as experimental subjects on the planet O50. Has it become obvious now?
"Get out of here!" The old warrior took the attacks of the villains and forcefully fought back the leading space mercenaries.
The veteran warrior who usually looked unimpressive finally showed his great strength, and his sudden burst of momentum made the villains change their colors.
Several villains were even killed on the spot.
"Withdraw!" After hesitating again and again, the villain boss finally worried about the veteran soldier's strength, so he quickly left with his men with a sullen face.
"That's great!" The children who were out of danger excitedly surrounded the old soldier, "Dad is so awesome!"
"Let's go inside first."
The veteran soldier smiled with difficulty, and after seeing the weak Natsuki at the door, he quickly led a group of children into the shelter, and then hurriedly locked the protective door.
"Dad?"
"puff--!"
Under Xia Shu's puzzled gaze, blood suddenly surged from the old soldier's mouth. His normally normal face instantly turned pale, and his body fell straight down.
"Dad!"
Natsuki hurriedly supported the old soldier amidst the cries of the children, but found that the old soldier's body temperature was disappearing.
"you……"
"I'm hopeless..." The old soldier grabbed Xia Shu's arm with his last breath and begged, "Take the children away quickly, those guys will soon find something is wrong and come back here..."
"Dad! Daddy!!" The children's immature voices became hoarse.
Heartbreaking.
Living in a settlement, both adults and children clearly understand the meaning of death...
However, the old soldier finally closed his eyes forever, and no matter how much the children shouted, they could not wake up.
Perhaps the old man was also a powerful cosmic mercenary in the past, but after all, he is old and frail and is about to reach the end of his life, so he can only inspire his remaining life force to fight for the last time...
Xia Shu held the old man's hand hard, feeling mixed in her heart.
He originally thought that he had no ties and would not be affected by external objects, but when he really faced it, he realized that the ties were never decided by him.
"Oh! Dad!"
The children burst into tears. Only Hong Kai and Jia Gula managed to remain calm. They looked at Xia Shu and asked: "Brother Ashu, what should we do now?"
"I thought I still had time..."
Natsuki gently put down the old warrior, clenched his fists with his fingers, and stood up with a murmur.
The sound of the villains' returning footsteps could be heard outside, and there was no way to escape.
It is impossible for him to adopt these children who have become orphans like the old soldiers, but at least he must solve this crisis.
Wow!
The divine light mirror light curtain appeared in the depths of Xia Shu's mind again.
There are two options for time travel, one is to go to the future, and the other is to go back to the past.
You can use it continuously to travel to the future, but it is actually equivalent to speeding up time around you, and you cannot come back.
Going back in time means traveling randomly to the past time and space, which is equivalent to opening a copy for yourself.
It can stay in the past time and space for a period of time, but it will return when the time is up, and it is limited by his physical strength and needs a cooling time.
Both options have pros and cons.
The former can save one's lifespan and jump to the required time node to pursue evolution, but at the same time it also increases risks for one's own evolution.
Because the further you go, the greater the uncertainty of Ultra's universe, and his advantage of knowing the plot will continue to weaken.
The latter seems relatively better, but the problem is that it only has a lifespan of 200 years. Without knowing how long it will take to cool down, it can't afford it.
"I choose to look back to the past." Natsuki confirmed.
Under the current circumstances, of course he has to choose the second option.
"The choice is successful," Shen Guangjing responded, "I will travel through time and space randomly..."
Natsuki's body gradually glowed with light, and before leaving, he carefully explained: "Kai, Jagula, I will leave everyone to you first, and wait until I come back."
"Brother Ashu?!"
Hong Kai watched Natsuki disappear in the light in shock, and couldn't help but look at Jakura who was also shocked.
