Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553: Asking About Snow The chaotic space swirled across the sky, gradually calming down. A space portal imbued with ice and snow slowly opened, and He Ao and Kela emerged from within. He Ao turned his head, glancing at the snowfield on the other side of the slowly closing space portal. In fact, the issue with the little girl’s father was simple; at the moment the blizzard erupted, he came into contact with the core power accompanying the onset of the storm, and his physical body was completely destroyed. Theoretically, he should have been immediately assimilated by this power, becoming an ice soldier thrall of the Ice and Snow Core. However, he did not realize he had died, or rather, he knew he had died, and his child was surely doomed as well. So he relied solely on his willpower to return home in the form of a spiritual body, which is what the little girl perceived as her ‘father coming home’. Yet he fundamentally could not resist such a high-level power, so the main part of his soul was still drawn into the Ice and Snow Core, becoming one of the ice soldiers Kela encountered. But the part of his will that protected his family fused with the power of the ice and snow, fell into the wooden box, and formed an ice and snow gem sensitive to ice and snow power. Kela found his main soul in the Ice and Snow Core and protected his soul all along. This was also the reason why the ice and snow gem could ‘find’ Kela; the gem was not locating Kela, but rather the main soul of the ice and snow gem with Kela. While Kela protected the soul, some faint thoughts related to He Ao surfaced, and these thoughts were sensed by He Ao through the mark of Super Memory. This is why He Ao directly used the ice and snow gem to locate Hel. The portal fully closed, and He Ao retracted his gaze, looking at Kela beside him, who also returned his look. A moment of silence passed between the two. He Ao lifted his head, looking at the massive planetary reflection that was gradually fading above. The entanglement between the Main World and the Historical World was rapidly unraveling, about to separate. He lowered his head, looking at Kela standing before him. But before he could speak, Kela gently raised her hand, gathering strands of ice and snow brilliance in her palm, finally condensing into a knight ice sword. A faint pressure naturally emanated from this ice sword, then slowly retracted. This ice sword was far more ‘complete’ and ‘powerful’ than the one Kela previously gave He Ao. The concentrated ice and snow power converged on the sword’s main body, which in itself was an Angel Tier weapon capable of harming an angel. Content originally comes from Nove1Fire.net Once the ice sword was fully formed, Kela raised her hand and offered the sword to He Ao. He Ao looked at the sword, and after a brief pause, he accepted it, smiling, “Thanks,” Then he seemed to remember something and said slowly, “By the way, do you know about the ‘human nature of angels’?” In Kela’s puzzled gaze, He Ao explained to her the method he had summarized for maintaining humanity. “Thank you.” Kela lowered her head, as if wanting to say something, her lips parted slightly, then closed again quietly. Silence fell between the two once more. The connection between the two worlds grew increasingly weak, as if the solid world barriers were being restored at this moment. Kela lifted her head, quietly looking at He Ao, and softly asked, “Does it snow where you are?” He Ao gazed at her, gently nodding, “It does.” The complete separation of the two worlds had already begun. He Ao stepped forward, his hand touching the edge where the worlds intertwined. Kela lifted her head, looking at him with a slight smile forming at her lips, she paused and quietly said, “Goodbye.” “Goodbye.” He Ao looked at her, gently nodding, also returning a smile. He slung the ice sword over his back, took a step forward, and fully entered the world-intertwining portal. Immediately, he felt his body plummeting as if falling from a great height into a deep pool. He looked up, watching the place where he had just stood, where everything had already become blurred. Yet he could still vaguely distinguish the ponytailed girl standing there, watching him leave. At this moment, He Ao felt a slight burning sensation in his palm. He raised his eyes, looking at his palm. The giant tree pattern from the previous Sacrifice of Andaville’s remaining power was still glowing. The sacrifice ritual wasn’t over yet? He Ao looked at the glowing light in his palm, a bit puzzled. As he gazed at the pattern, a message surfaced in his mind. [Talent Sequences 216: Secret Wizard] [Main material: Heart of the Death Witch, vertical eye of the Hidden Snake] [Auxiliary materials: Derivative of the Eye of the World’s power, transcendent era machinery, 50 milliliters of Heavenly Destiny’s blood] [Preparation method: Place the Heavenly Destiny’s blood into the Heart of the Death Witch, allowing it to naturally dissolve, then leave it to stand for 30 minutes after fully dissolving, before adding the vertical eye of the Hidden Snake to the dissolved liquid. Wait for the vertical eye to completely break down, then extract the formed crystalline material. Then mix this crystalline material with the derivative of the Eye of the World and transcendent era machinery, leave to stand for 30 minutes, wait for a special murky liquid to appear, then filter. Leave to stand for 30 minutes, then take the bottom layer of the clear liquid. Note: The extraordinary item containing the complete Talent Sequences can be directly mixed with all auxiliary materials and left to melt to form a special murky liquid.] [Promotion Ceremony: Participate in a mystical event involving a Divine Being with significant historical influence, and successfully influence the event’s development to gain a legendary reputation to be passed down through history, and in the long course of time, be forgotten and concealed within history.] The moment he received this information, He Ao paused slightly, taking out a gray gem from his pocket. This was the first time He Ao had seen a Talent Sequence with ‘Wizard’ in its name. This was probably the Talent Sequence of the Wizard who once resided near the Fountain of Youth. It was because he was ‘trapped and killed’ by Andaville’s resentful spirit through some method that the Fountain of Youth and the Stonemason came into being. On this basis, Andaville had the time and space to long-term plan the Wind and Snow Authority and plot resurrection, which led to Kela’s birth. Actually, He Ao could also guess the method Andaville used to trap and kill him, most likely leveraging the power of the Wind and Snow Authority. The attribute of Wind and Snow Authority itself seems to be the same as the Life Goddess and Andaville, all being white. This means that the Wind and Snow Authority was likely a contingency plan Andaville prepared for himself before he died. For this reason, during a previous battle, He Ao specifically ‘tricked’ Andaville to confirm this. He just didn’t expect the Life Goddess to have the secret medicine formula for this Wizard’s Talent Sequence. But thinking about it, it makes sense. Since this Wizard stayed near the Fountain of Youth, he actually formed some sort of ‘monitoring’ for Andaville. This suggests that he might have some kind of connection with the Life Goddess, and if so, it makes sense for the Life Goddess to have his Talent Sequence secret medicine formula. Of course, his connection with the Life Goddess may not be strong, since he has been dead for so many years, and the Life Goddess has not received any news. The Life Goddess probably didn’t anticipate that Andaville had a plan for resurrection. This time, He Ao truly realized that these old geezers’ methods are truly endless. Do these old guys with endless lifespans all spend their time researching how to scheme against others? He lowered his head, looking at the white radiance in his hand. After obtaining the secret medicine formula for the ‘Secret Wizard’, this radiance was rapidly dispersing. This meant that the ‘sacrifice’ just now was completely over. This was not part of any previously agreed transactions; it was an additional ‘compensation’ from the Life Goddess. Looking at the dispersing radiance, He Ao could vaguely sense a hazy connection with the Life Goddess, and immediately a thought arose, asking, ‘Is the god behind this the God of Machinery?’ After a brief pause, he received an answer. [He is hidden in the mist] Even the Life Goddess couldn’t see? Or did she see but couldn’t determine? Did the other party use some method to conceal their existence? But among the gods of gray radiance known to He Ao are his good friend and the God of Machinery. The previous Tuning Master was a subordinate of the God of Machinery, which makes the God of Machinery the most likely. However, the power displayed in interfering with history doesn’t quite seem like that of the God of Machinery; it couldn’t be his good friend, could it? But his good friend has always been upright in actions, and the oppressive feeling is much stronger than this one. He Ao suddenly remembered that in the introduction to the ‘Historical Contract’, it was mentioned that an existence once ‘disguised’ itself as the Truth to guide wizards in searching for history. Since these wizards thus created the Historical Contract, did the entity guiding them also acquire some kind of ‘historical’ power? If this entity isn’t the God of Machinery, that might explain why he’s so eager to preempt the God of Machinery. However, the Tuning Master once also brought out Pages of the Past Book, something containing historical power. Furthermore, this Divine Being seemed to ‘understand’ He Ao very well, having clear knowledge of much of He Ao’s abilities, likely having ‘observed’ the recent events in the Main World. Deceive the real with the fake, and the fake with the real; the God of Machinery cannot be ruled out. However, it seems that the Main World truly harbors some kind of ‘secret’. Rubbing his forehead, He Ao suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked upwards. At this moment, the radiance in his palm completely dissipated, and the previously hazy illusion above his head also became utterly blurred. The two worlds have now nearly completely stripped away, and He Ao was almost entirely submerged in the Main World. At this moment, as the last light point vanished, a message surfaced in He Ao’s mind. The last message from the Life Goddess: The white radiance completely disappeared. And in that instant, at the conjunction of the two worlds, a gray radiance slipped into the darkness like a snake swiftly gliding in the deep sea, rapidly approaching He Ao’s body. But only for a moment, He Ao noticed this radiance. Watching the approaching glow, an orange-gray light flickered in his pupils. However, the radiance seemed unconcerned about whether He Ao noticed, moving at the fastest pace, pursuing He Ao’s figure. A massive illusion of a blue planet slowly emerged behind He Ao. The light chased He Ao, observing as He Ao’s figure quickly descended and swiftly plunged towards the blue planet behind him. Its target was not He Ao, but it intended to follow He Ao’s descent to locate the position of the blue planet behind him. He Ao, watching the radiance, gently raised his hand.
