Chapter 1198: Chapter 1166: Changes in the Land of Extreme Cold
Land of Extreme Cold
This place, which was once a coveted must-fight-for territory for military families (leveling up/getting equipment) before Lin Yi’s reincarnation, has gradually been neglected due to the early arrival of the Demon Race in this life.
Before the Anti-Demon War began, the Land of Extreme Cold was once predicted by game players as: ’The Best Leveling Spot’, ’The Best Equipment Farming Spot’.
Almost all top players and guilds from major battle zones were gearing up, ready to stake their claim in the Land of Extreme Cold.
At that time, the Australian War Zone was still feeling smug about its Semler Harbor being the only route to the Land of Extreme Cold, even planning to use this to expand the overall strength and influence of the Australian War Zone.
In fact, in the world before Lin Yi’s reincarnation.
The Australian War Zone did utilize this trait to ’rob’ various battle zones, and they made a huge profit from it.
The massive benefits reaped by the Australian War Zone during that time were enough to make other battle zones green with envy.
Unfortunately, even though the Australian War Zone had favorable timing and location, there was nothing others could do despite their envy.
In this life, before the version update of "Demon Race Invasion", not only the Australian War Zone was determined to win the Land of Extreme Cold.
Even Satan J from the United States War Zone took all means necessary to seize control of the only supply city in the Land of Extreme Cold, [Frost City].
Lin Yi was not to be outdone, and he also established his own first city here: [Flame Demon Mountain City].
It could be said that at that time.
The ’strategic significance’ of the Land of Extreme Cold to various battle zones was undoubtedly huge.
But when all the planning was done, the Land of Extreme Cold did not usher in the anticipated glory, instead, it welcomed the early arrival of the Demon Race.
The version update of "Demon Race Invasion" dealt a fatal blow to the [Land of Extreme Cold].
When the Anti-Demon War broke out on the battlefields of each major city, not to mention that the experience from killing the Demon Race was far higher than the wild monsters of the Land of Extreme Cold;
Killing the Demon Race earned a large amount of [Military Merit], which could be used to upgrade the ranks of the Anti-Demon Corps.
Besides these features, killing the Demon Race also earned unique [Battlefield Equipment], with a decent drop rate.
With such a comparison, the advantages of the Land of Extreme Cold vanished instantly.
After losing its biggest advantage, naturally, no one would choose to make a long trek to a place where resources and other aspects were inferior to the battlefield, and the illusion realm was harsh like the Land of Extreme Cold.
Thus, the fervor for the Land of Extreme Cold vanished overnight.
If it weren’t for the mysterious [Pilgrimage Peak] still standing in the Land of Extreme Cold, this place’s name might quickly be forgotten by people.
And the [Pilgrimage Peak] is currently the only significance remaining in the Land of Extreme Cold.
While everyone’s attention was drawn to the battlefield, there were still a few people who were always filled with curiosity and some sort of expectation towards this mysterious peak.
However, faced with the mysterious and unpredictable [Pilgrimage Peak].
After half a year of exploration by players, they have roughly understood the relationship between the three peaks and some basic situations.
At the same time, in the past half a year, countless players have used personal experience to prove that currently, players can only roam under the [Human Peak].
As for the [Earth Peak] and the higher-level [Celestial Saint Peak], at this point in players’ eyes, they exist like forbidden grounds, and no one has been able to gain the slightest benefit from these two peaks so far.
No one knows when it started.
Fewer and fewer people went to the [Celestial Saint Peak] and [Earth Peak], until peace returned as before.
...
...
The foot of the Celestial Saint Peak was long covered by thick snow, and the surroundings were silent.
Actually, if you looked closely.
This most mysterious peak on the Rafam Continent, in fact, doesn’t have much difference from ordinary mountains, in appearance, it’s as unremarkable as the [Human Peak].
However, the only noticeable thing here is the stone stele that stands at the foot of the Celestial Saint Peak, with the words [Celestial Saint Peak] carved on it.
The peculiarity of this stele is that no matter how much it snows, when snowflakes fall on the stele, they will automatically melt.
Even the snow around the stele maintains a subtle position, just enough to clearly see the three words on it, nothing more, nothing less.
And in this tranquil setting, suddenly a dark shadow plunged down from the sky, making a dull thud:
"Boom~"
Then you could see a figure, spread-eagled, crashing into the snow piled in front of the stele...
"Hiss~"
The sensation of cold and pain all over abruptly woke Lin Yi up.
Lin Yi jerked his head up:
"Peh, peh peh peh~"
After a dry retch, Lin Yi lay in the snow, raising his head dazedly:
"Eh~"
At this moment, Lin Yi noticed that all around was a vast expanse of whiteness:
"Oh no~"
Lin Yi snapped back to reality immediately:
"Where is this?"
At the moment, Lin Yi still clearly remembered.
When he jumped off the altar, he finally died when his life value was exhausted.
’But didn’t I choose to resurrect in place?’
’Could it be?!’
Seeming to have thought of a possibility, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up:
"No way!"
Lin Yi quickly got up from the ground, not bothering to deal with the snow on his body, and excitedly looked around:
"Could this really be... uh!"
The excited smile froze on Lin Yi’s face, but his gaze happened to fall on that stele:
"Holy crap."
Looking at that familiar stele, Lin Yi found it hard to believe.
He had gone such a big circle only to end up back at the foot of the [Celestial Saint Peak]?!
Lin Yi looked up at this seemingly unremarkable mountain, his face full of defeat:
"I knew it wasn’t that simple."
Although he had mentally prepared himself.
But when reality hit, he couldn’t help but feel a bit forlorn.
In both past and present lives.
People’s understanding of "Celestial Saint Peak" was infinitely close to zero.
The altar could be said to be Lin Yi’s closest approach to the Celestial Saint Peak.
Originally, Lin Yi held a sliver of hope, thinking he could enter the Celestial Saint Peak from the altar, to understand more about it.
Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.
Lin Yi’s hand stroked the stele engraved with ’Celestial Saint Peak’, feeling a myriad of emotions.
Wondering if unraveling the mystery of this mountain could return everything to peace.
Besides the mysterious and powerful Celestial Race.
Lin Yi really couldn’t think of anyone who could stop the massive future invasion of the Demon Race.
But no matter what.
This will be the Hundred Races’ only chance.
Lin Yi looked at the peak towering into the clouds amidst the swirling snow:
"I will come again."
Then Lin Yi activated Return to City.
