Chapter 471 Son of the God of War, Ice Soul Contract
What came into view was still that familiar scene: pitch black, deep, vast and endless.
The endless heavens and myriad worlds floated silently in the darkness, like sparks of civilization scattered deep in the void.
In this boundless darkness, a dimensional world is quietly suspended.
It presents itself in the most common "star form," hanging in the deep space of the universe, radiating a stable and restrained brilliance.
This is the Rogue plane, one of the planes invaded by the civilization of gods.
The invaders were the legion of believers under the God of War, one of the great chief gods of the civilization of gods.
The one in charge of guarding this place is the Unbreakable Emperor Nan Shuang, one of the four great lords of the Natural God Dynasty!
According to the records in the Star Chart, the Rogue plane originally shone with a pale yellow light.
From afar, it resembles an ancient star draped in a golden halo, steadfast and profound.
However, ever since Nan Shuang led the army of the Natural God Dynasty to this place, this place has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Endless frost covered the entire world.
The warm, pale yellow glow gradually faded, replaced by a pure white, icy white.
From the perspective of the cosmos, the current Rogue plane resembles a frozen star, or a crystal of ice sculpted to perfection, quietly suspended in the endless void.
It was cold and pure, yet carried an unsettling stillness.
However, this is just a view of the cosmos.
If you actually look inside the Rogue plane, you'll see a completely different picture.
At this moment, the Rogue plane has already been transformed into a world of ice and snow.
The continents were frozen, the oceans were frozen, and snowflakes fell from the sky all year round.
However, upon closer inspection, one will discover that an extremely thin layer of blood-red mist is shrouding the outer atmosphere of the plane.
The crimson color wasn't intense; it was almost transparent, yet it enveloped the entire Rogue plane like a celestial curtain.
There are no blind spots or gaps.
It was precisely because of this layer of crimson mist that all connections between the Rogue plane and the Natural God Dynasty were completely severed.
The entire Rogue plane seemed to have been forcibly cut off from the universe.
If a powerful being from a divine civilization were here, they would immediately recognize the origin of this layer of blood-red mist upon seeing it.
This is the power personally bestowed by Tempest, the great god of war.
Fog of war!
In the civilization of gods, each great chief god possesses his own concept of immortality.
Life, death, magic, darkness, light...
Different concepts represent different powers and paths.
The god of war, Tempest, wielded one of the oldest and most enduring concepts: war.
As long as intelligent life exists, war will never disappear.
This is why Tempes, who holds the power of war, has always been among the top in terms of personal combat strength among the many great gods of the pantheon.
The crimson mist that permeates the outside of the Rogue plane is a special creation forged by the God of War from the will and blood of countless fallen warriors.
Its name is the fog of war.
It possesses all sorts of incredible abilities.
Isolating interdimensional communication is merely one of the most insignificant effects.
The truly terrifying aspect of the fog of war lies in its ability to transform an entire plane into an environment perfectly suited for the followers of the god of war to wage war.
Where the fog covers, the rules shift, the environment tilts, and even war itself is bolstered by authority.
In a sense, this is not merely a treasure, but a war domain personally shaped by the god of war.
It was as if a great god had traversed the endless starry sky and descended upon this place with a portion of his will.
As for sealing off dimensions and isolating the inside from the outside... these are merely incidental effects that occur after altering the environment of heaven and earth.
A similar scene had already played out in the Pano plane.
However, different gods wield different powers, and the methods they employ are naturally quite different.
In the original Pano plane, the Goddess of Magic Network bestowed upon the blue and white stars.
With the help of that special creation, the rules of heaven and earth and the environment of the plane were changed step by step, thus creating the most suitable soil for the god of water to ascend to godhood.
The current Rogue plane has been replaced by the fog of war of the God of War.
The methods may differ, but the goal is the same: to change the environment!
The world that originally belonged to the wizarding civilization was gradually transformed into a realm suitable for the survival and development of the gods' civilization.
Then, in such an environment, the ascension ceremony is completed, and a true god is born!
Back in the Pano plane, the God of Water had his eye on the Azure Sky Spirit, one of the four sacred artifacts of the Natural God Dynasty.
If Lynn hadn't acted decisively, allowing the Lord of Life to ascend to godhood ahead of schedule and regain control of the Spirit of the Azure Sky, the Spirit of the Azure Sky would likely have already fallen into the hands of the divine civilization.
In the current Rogue plane, there also exists a Radiant Moon Relic.
Its name is Ice Soul Contract, and the controller of this Radiant Moon Relic is none other than the Unbreakable Emperor, Nan Shuang.
However, compared to the Pano plane, the enemies that Nanshuang faces are clearly more troublesome.
It could even be said that among the four planes invaded by the followers of the main gods, the enemy she faced was the most dangerous.
This is precisely why the situation in the Rogue plane has deteriorated to its current state.
Because Nanshuang was not facing an ordinary believer, but a true incarnation of a deity.
To be precise, he was the human form of a deity.
In this respect, she is somewhat similar to the original Goddess of the Magic Network.
The goddess of magic once entrusted her will to the bodies of her believers, allowing them to walk the world in mortal forms.
The being that has now descended upon the Rogue plane is of the same concept. The only fortunate thing is that it is not the human form of the main god.
Otherwise, there would be no need for this war to continue at all.
But at the same time, there was even worse news.
Although this deity is not the supreme god, he is only half a step away from being the supreme god.
His name is Uzga!
Son of Tempas, the god of war!
A renowned high god in the civilization of gods!
In terms of status and strength, among the gods below the chief god, Usgar is definitely among the top tier.
Therefore, even though it was just one of His incarnations, His power was far beyond that of ordinary gods.
The water god of the Pano plane, in the end, only saw the fragment of the Changtiya authority as an opportunity to defy fate.
But Uska was completely different.
As one of the most outstanding offspring of the god of war, He had already reached a height that countless gods could not attain in their entire lives.
That is why He understands better than anyone what the authority of the Lord God means.
That is the key to a higher level, and the hope to reach the realm of the supreme god.
Therefore, Usgar's purpose in sending his avatar to the Rogue plane was always very clear.
He wanted to obtain the fragments of authority left behind by Samyaksam, and He wanted to hold this power in His own hands.
Even if it's just a missing part.
Even if it's not complete.
But that was ultimately authority left behind by the level of the main gods.
Who can guarantee that... there won't be any further possibilities?
For a high god like Usca, the mere existence of a sliver of hope was enough to compel Him to personally intervene and contend for it.
Moreover, for a deity known for battle and conquest, the life authority left behind by Chang Ti Ya was an irresistible temptation.
Such authority might not have tempted a being like the Goddess of the Magic Network, but for Usgar, it held a fatal attraction.
At this moment, the fog of war shrouded the world, isolating both the inside and outside.
In the deep space of the Rogue plane, two figures faced each other from afar.
One of them was tall and strong, like a majestic mountain standing in the void. Just by standing there, he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
It was none other than Uska's human form!
Opposite him stood a tall and slender figure.
A deep blue, form-fitting battle suit accentuated her slender, graceful curves. Long, straight, jade-like legs stood firmly in the air, her silver-white hair fluttering in the cold air, and her icy blue eyes were as cold as frost. It was none other than the Unbreakable Emperor, Nan Shuang.
However, at this moment, rather than saying that the two sides are in a standoff, it would be more accurate to say that Nanshuang is trying her best to salvage the situation.
Earlier, she suddenly noticed that the Ice Soul Contract was acting strangely.
The sacred artifact that had been with her for many years seemed to have lost control, breaking free of her grasp and flying towards this place.
She tracked them all the way here and only then did she see this scene before her.
She was naturally familiar with Uska's human form.
The two sides had been locked in a stalemate in the Rogue plane for a long time, engaging in countless battles, large and small, and were well aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Even so, when she actually saw the scene before her, her heart still sank.
Because that Ice Soul Contract is currently hovering quietly in front of Usgar's human form.
The sacred artifact that originally belonged to her, the Radiant Moon, now no longer responds in the slightest, as if it has completely betrayed its master.
At this moment, the information transmitted back by the Ring of Life involuntarily surfaced in Nan Shuang's mind.
Regarding the Pano plane, the Spirit of the Azure Sky, and the plan of the gods to seize the Holy Relic of the Radiant Moon.
Originally, she thought that the fifth-level lord was exaggerating.
But now it seems that the other party not only did not exaggerate, but the situation is even more serious than the intelligence indicated!
The civilization of gods actually possesses the means to interfere with fragments of divinity and seize the sacred artifact of the Radiant Moon!
Damn it!
Nan Shuang gritted her teeth, a chill surging in her icy blue eyes.
Upon receiving the message, she immediately strengthened her connection with the Ice Soul Contract.
Even so, she still couldn't stop it from happening. The Ice Soul Contract was out of her control and didn't even put up the slightest resistance.
At this moment, Nan Shuang even felt a sense of incomprehension.
How exactly did that Level 5 Lord Lynn manage to keep the Azure Sky Spirit firmly under his control?
But at this moment, she had no time to think about these things.
Because in the next instant, Usgar's human form suddenly stretched out that large hand covered with war god runes.
boom!
A violent and intense war power erupted, and the giant hand clenched tightly, instantly grasping the Ice Soul Contract firmly in its palm.
The originally crystal-clear, ice-blue Ruyi surface was instantly covered with scarlet, blood-red divine patterns.
An intensely strong atmosphere of war crept in, like a red-hot iron being pressed down hard onto the ice and snow.
Unlike the choice of the Water God in the Pano plane, who drew upon the authority within the Azure Sky Spirit to gain partial control, and then seized the Azure Sky Spirit after successfully ascending to godhood.
This one is, after all, the human form of a high-ranking god, so his methods are naturally crude and direct!
Usga didn't hesitate for a second and immediately began refining the Radiant Moon Relic!
How could Nan Shuang stand by and watch the Ice Soul Contract fall into the other party's hands?
Almost the instant Uska grasped the Ice Soul Contract, she was already preparing to make her move.
Her icy blue eyes suddenly sharpened, and the power of rules surged forth, instantly covering the entire void with the terrifying spiritual power belonging to the Morning Star Extreme Realm.
"Bone-chilling cold!"
"Shadow of Burial!"
"My heart feels a little cold!"
"Ye Weiyang!"
"Frost - Soaring Heaven Silent Emperor Spear!"
Combination spells that would take an ordinary Morning Star wizard a great deal of time to cast, are almost instantaneous in the hands of Nanshuang.
Several rules intertwine, overlap, and merge with each other.
That terrifying killing technique, capable of freezing everything in heaven and earth, was about to take full shape in the blink of an eye.
However, at that very moment, Nan Shuang's icy blue eyes suddenly trembled slightly.
Because she sensed it; she felt the fluctuations of the Ice Soul Contract once again!
Although extremely faint, it truly exists.
"There's another response?!"
Nan Shuang's mind jolted.
The next moment, she instantly understood the reason.
The war divinity within Usgar is inherently incompatible with the natural and life divinity hidden deep within the Ice Soul Contract.
The other party wanted to forcibly refine this Radiant Moon Relic, but the divine fragment itself instinctively resisted him!
This resistance gave her the opportunity to regain control of the Ice Soul Contract!
boom!
Without hesitation, Nan Shuang unleashed her spiritual power, which surged forth wildly along that single connection.
As the former holder of the Ice Soul Contract, her control over this Radiant Moon Relic was already deeply ingrained.
Even if it cannot fully unleash the power of the Radiant Moon level, it is enough to shake a part of its origin.
Her red lips parted slightly, and ancient, cold chants slowly rose from her mouth.
"Qianxue, shatter!"
"Contract, imprison!"
"Qianxue, seal it!"
"Contract, Rin!"
"Qianxue, Han!"
"Qianyuki, Matsuri!"
As the chanting ended, the ice scepter in Uska's hand finally changed.
Click!
Click!
Ice-blue lines spread rapidly, as if a power that had been dormant for countless years had been fully awakened.
Frost spread wildly from the depths of the god's soul.
The area that was originally tainted by the power of war began to be forcibly frozen.
Even though Uska is a high god, and even though the one who is attacking at this moment is his human form.
However, refining a fragment of a god's divine essence so crudely ultimately angered the god himself.
Thus, the Ice Soul Contract began to rebel!
Rumble!
An endless cold wave swept out, and snow-white contracts condensed from the void.
An ancient and sacred aura slowly spread out.
In a daze, the world seemed to change, and an ancient scene could be vaguely seen.
On the vast land, winter has arrived, and countless snowflakes fall from the heavens. A blurry yet sacred goddess figure walks among the ice and snow.
Wherever He went, the mountains froze, the earth was covered in silver, and the whole world was covered with a layer of pure white frost and snow.
That is the most fundamental power belonging to the divine, and also the true source of the Ice Soul Contract!
And at the very moment this divine aura manifested.
Uska's human form, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke for the first time, but his voice was filled with undisguised disappointment and anger.
"The Winter Goddess in the Cycle of Seasons?!"
Damn it!
"How could this be?!"
Uska's face darkened noticeably.
What he wanted was the authority over life, the divine life left behind by Chang Tiya, and a path that would allow him to go further.
But what the Ice Soul Contract truly reveals is the divine essence of the winter cycle.
Although it also contains elements of life and natural divinity, its core is ultimately not what he wants.
For Uska, this was akin to opening a treasure trove with great anticipation, only to discover that it contained not the most coveted treasure.
On the other side, Nan Shuang, who understood the language of the gods, was also slightly taken aback, and a hint of undisguised astonishment appeared in her icy blue eyes.
It turns out... the origin of the Ice Soul Contract is actually the Winter Godhood.
So the question arises: if the power of winter is only one of them, how many divine offices and powers did the goddess of life and nature actually possess back then? (End of Chapter)
