There were bits of ice stuck to Hull’s nose, which was red with cold. It was the remains of his exhaled breath frozen by the cold wind of the Ice Sea. As long as he moved a little, he could feel the sting of the ice slicing through the flesh, but he did not mind it. The pain was nothing compared to the hunger in his stomach.
It was too cold, he could not help but shiver uncontrollably. Holding a Mafu rope with his mouth, he freed his hand to hurriedly grabbed dirty, wet hair together and then used the Mafu rope to tie it tightly.
“Damn sea breeze, my hair can never stay dry!” Hull cursed, carefully separating the wet hair from the clothes with Mafu leaves. If the inner layer of the clothes got wet as well, he would be definitely frozen into an ice cube at night. So many people had died this way.
The snow-white Mafu leaves were soft and wide. It made the color of his hair stand out. Black was his hair’s color. That was why he was a slave.
He was a slave from birth and never knew who his father was, but he was sure that he was also a slave. Then, his grandfather, his grandfather’s grandfather, must all be slaves, so he never thought about why he had to be a slave. This was how it should be.
Yes, only when he was a slave, then it was right.
It is ridiculous that Ars, oh no, that is the name that he changed himself. With his slave’s identity, he is not allowed to use that name. So it should be that it is ridiculous that Bolt actually believed those sinners’ rumors. How could the great and only supreme God have black hair? This is absolutely impossible, it is an unforgivable blasphemy! All damn sinners should be executed.
Although Hull has never been to any temples, because his identity did not allow him to go to the holy temple. Even if he were only a little closer, it would be regarded as blasphemy, and he would be burned to death, but he still firmly believed that the great and only supreme god could only be blue-haired.
“I really want to go to the temple once, even if it is the smallest temple in Purul Castle.” Hull thought longingly. His eyes were filled with hope that one day he would walk into, oh no, even if it were outside the temple, as long as he was allowed to get near it, he wouldn’t be very happy about it. Thinking of this he couldn’t help but be excited.
Like his mother when she was young, Hull was also full of dreams. Of course, his poor mother could not even get to mow the lawn outside the Purul Temple once even until she passed away. But even then, she still told Hull not to give up.
Only those who have entered the temple could receive the blessing of God, and enter the kingdom of heaven after their death. Only then, would they no longer be wandering spirits and ghosts, struggling in hell.
Yesterday, or maybe it was the day before yesterday, the most beautiful girl in this slave zone, Fuer told them excitedly and happily that a blue-haired master took a fancy to her. Although he was not a legendary noble, and he was just an ordinary blue-haired man that was around 50 or maybe 60 years old, he agreed that as long as Fuer dedicated her virginity to him, he would consider taking her to the fountain outside Purul Temple.
It was said that there was a god statue in the fountain. Hull thought with great envy. How nice it would be if he could go there. But unfortunately, he was not a woman, nor would there be any people interested in him. Fuer really had good luck!
However, Ars, no, Bolt yelled and said that Fuer was a bitch, a slut. In fact, Hull believed that he knew the reason why Bolt was so angry. Bolt always liked Fuer. When Fuer cried and left, He saw Bolt sitting alone next to the Ice Sea for a long time.
But he still shouldn’t say that to Fuer. Didn’t Bolt also want to enter the temple? Hull suddenly felt that his companion, who he had grown up together as a child, had really changed. Since sinners were exiled here, Bolt gradually changed, and he became a person, who he was less and less familiar.
Damn those sinners. It is them again. Those are the scums among the blue-haired nobles, who were found guilty by the temple. They should be hanged, oh no, just burn to death!
The ministers of temples and the nobles are too kind. They should not be merciful to these sinners.
Hull thought angrily. While he was angry at his friend’s change, he carefully soaked the stone-like Moss Bread in the water. This was his ration for the day, thanks to his master, although he never knew who his master was. He was only the lowest slave, there was no need for him to know so much.
After eating the bread, he still needed to finish work early and go to bed early. Tomorrow there would be piles of ice to be cut and sent away. He had no time to fool around with those bastards. Raping the daughters of the sinners? Although they are also blue-haired women, Huh! He felt impure when he just thought about it. Although he was only a slave, he was also pure. How could he let the daughters of the sinners defile his body?
It was too cold, the sun hadn’t set, but it was already cold enough to make people shiver. It made people wonder how many people would be frozen to death tonight. Since three suns appeared in the sky three years ago, the weather was getting colder, and there were more and more sinners. Life was getting harder and harder day after day.
But there was still good news. Since the temple sent two saintesses to pray on the Divine Mountain in the Ice Sea, the great and only Supreme God seemed to have heard their suffering, and the sun that later appeared, which was colder than the Ice Sea, recently showed signs of disappearing.
Perhaps, the Son Of The Brightest Glowing Star just wanted to have some fun in the mortal world, and he eventually would go back. This was what Hull heard from rumours.
Speaking of it, when the saintess went to the Great Divine Mountain through Purul, he was fortunate enough to see them at the seaside. It was probably the closest he had ever gotten to the temple in his life, and he was so excited and scared that he didn’t even raise his head until the saintesses had already left far, far away.
But this did not affect the pride he had in his heart. Really, no one would have this kind of opportunity in their lives again. If it were not for his kind and wise master who chose to mind ice here, he would not have this opportunity, so he still needed to thank his master.
The Moss Bread slowly was slowly softened in the water, and after a while, it would be ready to eat. Hull looked at the sky boringly, and recalled the melodious and sacred song that echoed in the sky as the saintesses passed by that day,
“…sank amid the obscured waves for thousands of years, leaving only the legend of God behind…”
He secretly learned the tone, humming it quietly as if he went back thousand years ago to the era of the battle of gods!
At this moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly stopped humming.
Above the vast sky, the cold sun, known as the son of the brightest glowing star, suddenly burst out dazzling icy light, the temperature in the air plummeted, the Ice Sea suddenly became restless, and the raging waves were directly frozen into sculptures while they were still in the air.
Cold, bitingly cold!
The water that softened the moss bread froze the bread into an ice cube in the blink of an eye, and Hull felt that even his blood was going to be frozen.
“Great and only supreme god, do you want to punish us?”
Hull was not qualified to be the follower of God, but he still prayed piously, just like he had prayed countless times before.
But this time there was an accident. When he just prayed, a dark shadow appeared in the sky, pulling the scary bowstring, and pointing the arrow directly at the son of the brightest glowing star.
Black, everything is black, how can it be black, is it a devil? A devil that was going to kill the son of the brightest glowing star?
Hull’s terrified pupil reflected a dark arrow flying across the vast sky, piercing through the cold sun. The sound of death almost resounded through the entire world!
“The battle of gods! It is the battle of Gods!”
Hull prostrated himself on the ground, shaking constantly, but the fear forced him to scream loudly as if this could reduce his inner fear.
The cold sun exploded, bursting light everywhere. Its huge body also fell into the endless Ice Sea, and the death god’s black arrow was still shooting toward the distant sky.
At the same time, something like a semi-circular transparent cover fell down from the sky. Four beams of cold light were shot from its center and rotated accordingly, and data streaks slid over the transparent cover to form rapidly changing spatial patterns.
The semi-circular cover appeared above Hull’s head in less than a moment, smashing on the neatly stacked ice cubes, splashing countless pieces of ice, and Hull tremblingly crawled over…
******
Chu Yunsheng shot the arrow with all his strength. He felt as if all the energy inside his body had been drained, and countless tiny beads of blood quickly oozed from his skin. In a twinkling of an eye, he became a bloody man. It was very frightening.
Rong Yuan Body collapsed like a tide, he could hear the sound of tearing from the inside of his body, almost paining him to death, even his eyes could not be opened.
Ignoring all barriers, the black gas went straight through that layer of iron-rule-like membrane, catching up to the giant head at lighting speed, killing it instantly.
It had also reached the very verge of collapsing point, and though it was engulfing the ice elemental energy wildly, it still could not resist the final blow.
It probably didn’t expect that Chu Yunsheng would really chase it down here, and he would take the risk of heavily injuring himself to kill it.
Chu Yunsheng’s last glance saw the black arrow passing through the giant head, and bringing out an illusory “head”. After the terrified “head” was completely dissipated by the black arrow, he stopped resisting the force of the membrane, and bounced back to where it came from.
When he again went back to the inner world after a moment of vertigo, the black arrow that was flying in a straight line penetrated the other end of the sky, and unexpectedly, in the next second, it appeared before Chu Yunsheng, who was about to leave the water ripple mirror.
Black gas was different from Yuan Qi. As long as it was not used up, it would come back to him. But Chu Yunsheng was also very surprised to find that the black gas actually brought back a cube from the giant head. It was completely transparent. If there was no black gas inside it, he definitely would not be able to see it.
Chu Yunsheng was a very cautious man. He did not want to touch this unknown thing at all, but now he was very weak and unable to do anything. He could only watch the black gas bring the cube into his body.
Shit!
This was his first reaction, and the second reaction was complete darkness.
