At this moment, the Kunlun Station was still fighting alone. They were now even more certain that what they encountered was an unknown virus that could be transmitted visually!
This was, of course, an unprecedented virus. In the history of human confrontation with viruses, there had never been a virus that could be transmitted visually.
Some scientists even speculated whether the virus was transmitted through a higher dimension?
That is, the source of infection and the infected person are at a certain distance in three-dimensional space, but the distance in four-dimensional space is difficult to know.
Seeing this, Hobert realized that this was a vague explanation for Beyonder corruption.
Generally speaking, Beyonder corruption is mostly achieved through the spirit world. Indeed, one can be polluted without touching the other party in the real world.
Hobert continued to read on. The crazed researchers still retained a certain amount of sanity in their madness, and they provided many key information, including the aforementioned drafts.
A large part of the files later were conversations between members of the research station and the crazed researchers.
Hobert looked very carefully at some key information.
...
Bai Han (one of the researchers who saw those blurry figures): A consciousness appeared in our minds.
Station Chief Jiang (Station Chief of Kunlun Station): Can you describe it in more detail?
Bai Han: It's like, another me appeared in my mind. He knows everything about me. He seems to be searching my memories everywhere in my mind, wanting to understand everything about the outside world. I tried to communicate with him, and easily learned where he came from, why he was here, and what his purpose was. At that moment, I was him, hahaha, he was me.
Station Chief Jiang: Can you tell me about what you learned?
Bai Han: Of course, of course, I want to tell you everything I know while I'm still awake! They come from the depths of the distant universe, and they have been in the ice for tens of thousands of years!
...
Hobert suddenly froze when he saw this: That's not right! Isn't this an Outer God? It was the awakening of the "Original Creator" that tore apart the Beyonder characteristics of the Outer Deities, and that's why the Outer Deities came to the solar system, wanting to retrieve their Beyonder characteristics!
But how could the Outer Deities be in Antarctica? How could they have been under the ice for tens of thousands of years?
At this time, Hobert suddenly had a bold guess: Could it be that these guys frozen under the ice came to Earth before the "Original Creator" woke up?
At that time, there may have been no barriers, and there may not have been strong protection on Earth. In short, they are not like the current Outer Deities, who can only look at the outside of the atmosphere with envy.
But a new question arose: Why did these Outer Deities appear on Earth? Were they attracted by the Beyonder characteristics on Earth?
And how did they end up in Antarctica? Or rather, who sealed them here?
With these questions, Hobert continued to read on.
...
Station Chief Jiang: Are you saying that they are aliens?
Bai Han: Not quite the same as the aliens we understand. They... they don't use spaceships, they can come to Earth with their own power.
Station Chief Jiang: This is a... what kind of technology is this?
Bai Han: It doesn't seem to be any technology, but a kind of supernatural ability! It seems that their own ability can help them travel through the universe, but only a very few creatures can do this. So it can't be called technology, because it doesn't have universality.
Station Chief Jiang: Why did they come to Earth?
Bai Han: This seems to involve their creation myth. It is said that after a creator created the universe, his power was scattered throughout the universe, and the creator also fell into a deep sleep. But this creator will wake up once in a while, and each time he wakes up, he will recover a part of his power. Currently, the creator has recovered most of his power. If his power is completely recovered, the universe will be destroyed and a new cycle will begin.
...
Hobert's eyes narrowed: Every time the Original Creator awakens, he will "recover", or rather, gather a part of the Beyonder characteristics that were once scattered in the universe!
He recalled the knowledge in his mind: When the Original Creator last woke up, he gathered the Beyonder characteristics of 6 pathways, namely: "Lawyer", "Arbiter", "Mother", "Moon", "Abyss", "Chained".
These are the 6 pathways that Hobert can confirm. When were the other pathways gathered?
Hobert was even more convinced of his previous guess: Under Area 3, could they be the Outer Deities who were gathered by the Original Creator? The Original Creator tore out their Beyonder characteristics and sealed their bodies in Antarctica?
This is another 6... It's not necessarily 6 complete pathways. Outer Deities are not equal to Outer Deities. The 9 Outer Deities that Hobert is familiar with are 9 Outer Deities. In addition to having Source, they also have some high-sequence Beyonder characteristics.
Some Outer Deities may not be at the Old One level, or even at the True God level.
Most Sequence 2s can travel through the universe. They are also theoretically Outer Deities, below Sequence 0. If they happen to encounter the Original Creator awakening, they may also be gathered.
In short, the Original Creator ripped away the Beyonder characteristics of 6 pathways during his last awakening, which was the beginning of the First Epoch. He must have gathered many characteristics during his last awakening.
Hobert doesn't know how many Beyonder characteristics there are in the entire universe, but if its total amount remains unchanged, it will eventually be gathered together one day.
When all the Beyonder characteristics are gathered, it is a bit similar to the concept of a "singularity". All the characteristics are concentrated at one point. Just thinking about it makes one feel that it will be the end of the universe.
The good news is that there are still many Beyonder characteristics that have not been gathered. The bad news is that the speed of gathering will only get faster and faster.
Hobert took a deep breath. He suddenly thought of a question: Is there any pattern in the timing of the Original Creator's periodic awakenings?
This reminded him that during the First Epoch, two people who obtained multiple Sephirot fought, and as a result, they both fell. But in the battle, their Beyonder characteristics and Sephirot did not converge.
Either they were both avoiding mutual Convergence, or some force was preventing them from aggregating.
In short, the initial awakening seems to have no regularity in time. God and Celestial Worthy also have no initiative in this regard.
Hobert shook his head again and continued to read on.
...
Bai Han: That creator seems to be about to wake up again. The fluctuations in Earth's spirituality have created an opportunity for them. The six under the ice have joined forces to create a square to attract our attention. This is their last chance. If they are released, they can take back their power before that creator wakes up, then they can escape Earth and even have a chance to become the new masters of Earth. If the creator wakes up first, then they will never be able to retrieve their power.
Station Chief Jiang: How to release them?
Bai Han: Dig out their bodies. He said, it's just a little bit more, just a little bit more and they can come out. He also said that if we let him out, he will make us the most powerful people on this planet...
...
This record ends here. Judging from Bai Han's last answer, Hobert estimated that this researcher named Bai Han had fallen into madness again.
Obviously, the conspiracy of these Outer Deities did not succeed. The Original Creator still woke up, and they failed to retrieve their Beyonder characteristics.
To be precise, they could not have succeeded. God and Celestial Worthy would have slapped them to death.
Even if they are True Gods, without the support of Beyonder characteristics and with a strong seal, the spirit body will always dissipate one day.
Hobert estimated that these Outer Deities may not be able to wait for the next time the Original Creator wakes up.
As he flipped through the documents page by page, Hobert also found some other useful clues.
...
Zhang Xiaojun: According to my conversation with him, I learned that Antarctica is a very special continent. This continent was not originally here. In order to seal these 6 people, this continent was moved to this cold place.
Station Chief Jiang: Who moved this continent?
Zhang Xiaojun: According to the other party, it was the Creator.
Station Chief Jiang: Why seal these 6 people?
(This question is obviously to confirm whether the information obtained by Bai Han is credible)
Zhang Xiaojun: To prevent them from taking back their power.
Station Chief Jiang: What method was used to seal them?
Zhang Xiaojun: The ice of Antarctica! According to him, the Creator gave the ice of Antarctica an abstract meaning, which can seal some very powerful things. This makes this continent very stable, and even significantly different from other continents. Without external influence, it is closer to "eternity".
...
Hobert did recall a sentence he saw in Sun Zhilin's notebook: That voice said: The ice and snow of Antarctica have abstract meaning.
This information should also be credible. After the Original Creator sealed these 6 Outer Deities in Antarctica, its powerful sealing power transformed the ice and snow here.
Hobert realized that this was also the reason why information about the Outer Deities could not be reported outside of Antarctica, because the Original Creator's blockade also included a blockade in the abstract sense, a comprehensive blockade!
Therefore, information about the Outer Deities can be sent to the Changzheng Station, but cannot leave Antarctica.
The fact that Kunlun Station can be preserved so completely is also related to the seal of the Southern Continent. The materials here have also been strengthened because of this seal, so thousands or even tens of thousands of years have passed, and the main structure of the research station is still there.
Continuing to read on, the other clues mostly describe the wonderful biological characteristics of these Outer Deities, but this information is not so critical for Hobert.
There is also an investigation summary later. At this time, Kunlun Station cannot rule out that these information said by the crazed researchers are some incredible nonsense.
Assuming this is all fabricated, why do several people who had no time to communicate have so many consistent descriptions? For example, their descriptions of the "Creator" are basically the same.
Assuming this is real, it's hard to accept that the universe is completely beyond their understanding.
After repeatedly reporting upwards without success, the researchers decided to leave temporarily, sending their crazed colleague back home first.
Just then, Kunlun Station also received some obviously abnormal news from the outside world, as if some changes were really about to happen in this world.
This made them worry. If this information about the Outer Deities was true, then they couldn't ignore those guys underground.
But how to solve the problem? Everyone was at a loss.
It wasn't until the crazed staff member killed his guard and took tools to excavate the six "aliens"' bodies in that underground space that the situation completely spiraled out of control.
Many people entered that underground space in pursuit.
Although the first batch of crazed staff members were successfully killed, soon more than half of the staff at Kunlun Station went mad!
Even those who didn't go mad suffered a tremendous mental shock.
Later in the files, there was a document written by Station Chief Jiang, but judging from the handwriting and content, Station Chief Jiang's mental state was already somewhat abnormal: "At this moment, my consciousness seems to be connected to theirs..."
"This feeling is very wonderful. Their knowledge is like books placed in front of me, ready to be read at any time. Heh heh, I guess my thinking is the same for them now."
"They are tampering with some of my thoughts, making me think they are supreme and that I must obey them."
"This makes me very clear about how vicious their influence is... Uh, I'm digressing. My mind is a mess right now."
"I mainly want to write down some key information that I 'read'. The more I 'read', the deeper their influence on me will be, and I might go crazy at any time."
"Heh heh heh, I'm digressing again. I can sense that they are trying to influence me, trying to stop me from saying these things, but I insist on saying it!"
"They must not be allowed to awaken! These six come from different civilizations, but without exception, those civilizations are full of coldness, madness, and distortion!"
"This is the price of power. For humans, such a price is very inefficient, only allowing a very, very small number of people to possess distorted and strange power, sacrificing the creativity of the entire civilization."
"If they regain their power, Earth will become a replica of this cold and distorted civilization."
"Moreover, they are very cunning. I don't believe a single word of their promises! After they regain their power, they will most likely completely destroy the Earth."
"No, it seems they can't destroy it. In their concept, Earth and humans are very special. Earth is where the Creator they speak of sleeps, and it is now an aggregate of 'Prime Matter'."
"Prime Matter? A strange word."
"In short, they can't destroy Earth, but humans will also become mad and distorted, turning into another kind of creature that only worships power."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know, you don't need to remind me, the awakening of the Creator will also be a huge disaster for mankind."
"However, the relevant information you provided shows that humans will not be destroyed each time the Creator awakens."
"After a long period of time, humans will regain their sanity and restart their civilization."
"What? You ask what the difference is."
"The difference is huge! He who sees alone is called enlightened; he who hears alone is called wise!"
"What does that mean? Heh heh, figure it out yourself."
"Remember, don't be bewitched by them, and don't let them escape from the ice, otherwise humanity will lose its most precious essence!"
Hobert looked at this material for a long time without saying a word: Station Chief Jiang knew that his power was very weak compared to those Outer Deities, but this Station Chief Jiang despised the Outer Deities in his thoughts.
Hobert suddenly smiled: Yes, what's so scary about these guys? Their power is a little strong, but their spirit is terribly lacking. Perhaps it is because of their spiritual deficiency that they can only use extraordinary corruption to influence others, and the people who are influenced by them can only set off their spiritual emptiness.
Thinking of this, Hobert took a deep breath and put away this handwritten document from Station Chief Jiang. He felt that the words written on the manuscript paper were very powerful.
Then he continued to flip through the information in his hand. More and more people at the research station went crazy, and more and more bizarre things happened, such as someone suddenly committing suicide, or the corpses of colleagues suddenly reanimating, some attacking other colleagues, and some taking tools to excavate Area 3.
The people who hadn't completely gone mad tried to burn these corpses with gasoline, but the ignited corpses would rush into the snowdrifts and extinguish the flames on their bodies themselves.
Fortunately, by chance, they found a way to "subdue" these corpses.
While fighting with the corpses, a colleague in poor mental condition mistakenly poured water on the corpses instead of gasoline. In the extreme cold, the water quickly froze into ice, and the corpses just stopped moving.
At this time, the people at the research station suddenly thought: The ice and snow of Antarctica symbolize sealing!
That is to say, here, all the strangeness can be sealed in this way!
After sealing the corpses, the research station encountered another problem. People from other international research stations around them were also affected by the six "aliens" one after another, and they rushed to Area 3, wanting to dig the "aliens" out of the ice.
As time went by, those "aliens" gradually had the risk of breaking free from their seals.
If they broke free from the seals before the so-called Creator awakened, the process of them regaining their power would likely cause irreparable damage to human civilization.
They must be stopped! Because in the staff's minds, the human world has no way to resist these "aliens".
Hobert, on the other hand, felt that God Almighty and the Celestial Worthy would definitely not let these Outer Deities succeed, but the researchers here didn't know this, they still thought they were the last line of defense for humanity.
So the staff thought of using the method of sealing those corpses to reseal those "aliens", so that they would miss this opportunity and be buried in the ice forever.
This was a mission destined to be a one-way trip, so after Kunlun Station contacted Great Wall Station, Zhongshan Station, Taishan Station, and Qinling Station for the last time, all the personnel carried water into Area 3.
On the last page of the document, there was such a reminder: Be sure to fill the kettle with water. If you find yourself having uncontrollable thoughts and behaviors, you can take off your clothes and pour water on yourself. In this way, seal the guy who wants to use you to resurrect.
Hobert suddenly recalled the kettle in Sun Zhilin's hand, and finally understood that he had poured himself into an ice sculpture.
The reason why Sun Zhilin still has vital signs now is likely due to the influence of the Outer Deities on him, causing him to mutate, or that a wisp of consciousness about the Outer Deities is sealed in his body.
Thinking of this, Hobert took a deep breath, closed the folder, and then silently came to the outside of Kunlun Station.
After taking another look at the entire Kunlun Station, Hobert "distorted" the surrounding snow, causing it to cover Kunlun Station, forming a small hill.
Inside the small hill, there was a hollow structure, which avoided Kunlun Station well, like a layer of snow shell protecting it.
After being covered by ice and snow, Hobert really felt the sealing power of the ice and snow. His spirituality couldn't even sense the Kunlun Station under the ice and snow.
This was a very peculiar feeling. When using extraordinary power to manipulate these ice and snow, he couldn't feel their difference, but after the ice and snow formed a pile, they formed the power of sealing.
Hobert did this to prevent people from discovering this place when exploring Antarctica in the future, and going crazy after reading those documents, or even the consciousness of the Outer Deities might be resurrected to a certain extent in this way.
He memorized the location here, and then came to Area 3, and saw the downward ice steps.
Around here, Hobert saw many corpses frozen on the ground by the ice. Among these people, there were Caucasians, people with South American facial features, and Asians.
Entering the underground structure, he could gradually see more and more people holding kettles and pouring themselves into ice sculptures.
Some of them were moving inward, and some were walking outward. Without exception, they all had the same style of down jackets as the Chinese scientific expedition team next to their feet.
Following the guidance of his spirituality, Hobert finally found the place underground with huge blurry figures.
In the distance from this group of figures, there were large buckets placed, and directly above those blurry figures, many people had also frozen themselves into the ice, and there were also many people fighting together around them, who were also poured with water and turned into ice sculptures.
Obviously, under the influence of the Outer Deities, the process of sealing with ice and water was very difficult. Some people would rather become part of the seal than compromise with the Outer Deities.
And some people were affected and fought with other people, trying to prevent this sealing process.
Looking at the irregular icebergs in front of him, Hobert could no longer feel any spiritual fluctuations from those Outer Deities. Even if they were not completely dead, they were sealed by these man-made small icebergs.
Hobert was about to bury those exposed corpses when he suddenly realized something was wrong. There were only 5 huge blurry figures underground!
This made Hobert feel a little scalp-numbing. One of the Outer Deities had escaped!
He quickly checked carefully, but found a few lines of words on the ice wall on the other side.
These words were all carved, so they have been preserved to this day.
Among them, there was a type of writing that Hobert didn't recognize, but for some reason, after taking one look, he understood the meaning of those words.
… …
The first line was that unrecognizable script: Your spirit moves me, allowing me to once again feel the drive of life.
The second line was characters carved with a sharp tool: You cannot escape.
Unrecognized script: I am not the fellow who just ran away. My seal is more than that. He indeed cannot escape from Antarctica. Only Earth's creatures and the extraordinary can come and go freely here. Outer Deities will be trapped here forever.
Chinese characters: You are the Creator.
Unrecognized script: Someone once called me that. The spirit you display is a great help to me. I can feel the fear of those Outer Deities. Heh heh, they are usually the ones who instill fear in others.
Chinese characters: What kind of being are you?
Unrecognized script: I often wonder about that myself. I am searching for the meaning of the universe. I am searching for the meaning of life. I am about to awaken. I can merge your consciousness into my divided consciousness, which should also be a great help to them.
… …
Seeing this, Hobert choked on his own saliva: It really is the Original Creator!
He quickly continued reading.
… …
Chinese characters: Sorry, we have no such plans. I am who I am.
Unrecognized script: Do you have any last words?
Chinese characters: Please continue human civilization.
Unrecognized script: They will exist until the end of the universe.
Chinese characters: Please protect Earth.
Unrecognized script: I have also realized that the blockade of Antarctica alone is no longer enough to resist these Outer Deities. I will form a barrier to protect Earth.
Chinese characters: Thank you.
Unrecognized script: What are your plans for the last few days?
Chinese characters: We hope to return to the Great Wall Station and die quietly.
Unrecognized script: In your condition, you may not be able to return to your destination, and there is still an Outer God wandering outside.
Chinese characters: When you reach the end of the road, sit and watch the clouds rise.
… …
After seeing the last line of poetry, Hobert suddenly smiled: "I wonder if the 'Original Creator' understands the meaning of this sentence."
Then he thought: The Great Wall Station is the farthest from here, so they arrived the latest. In the end, several people, including Sun Zhilin, survived and had a conversation with the Original Creator.
Sun Zhilin and the others should have been severely corrupted here, so they couldn't return to the Great Wall Station.
It is unknown what happened on the way back. Sun Zhilin got separated from everyone. The voice he was recording at the last moment of his life was probably the voice of the Outer God who escaped.
Even now, that Outer God is likely still wandering in Antarctica, but Hobert didn't take it too seriously. That Outer God has never been able to escape the shackles of the seal and has not regained its Beyonder characteristics.
An Outer God who has lost most of its Beyonder characteristics should be the one who is afraid and should be the one hiding.
Hobert glanced again at the script used by the Original Creator. Rather than calling it a script, it was more like a mental imprint. As long as one made visual contact, or even just got close enough, one could understand the meaning of these "words."
He guessed that the "words" on the "Blasphemy Slate" should be similar to this.
Hobert pondered the words of the Original Creator in detail: The Original Creator itself has some characteristics of a life form and would be attracted to things that happen with a small probability. However, the human aspects of it were not very well-developed. It didn't send Sun Zhilin and the others back to the Great Wall Station, which showed its coldness like a machine.
At the same time, Hobert realized: The Original Creator also cared about the human part within itself, or rather, it cared deeply about the extraordinary emotions displayed by life. Why was this so? And why would it ponder the meaning of the universe? The meaning of life?
In Hobert's previous speculation, divinity should be the inherent rule of the universe's operation, which is very cold, and the Original Creator is the "collection" of this rule, so it should also be very cold!
But he didn't expect that it actually had things it needed to think about. To be precise, it actually had a confused side.
Hobert suddenly had a bold guess: Does the divine part of the Original Creator also represent the consciousness of the universe? Then, could its confusion be the confusion of this universe's consciousness?
Hobert had thought about this question before. Is the Original Creator a manifestation of the universe "coming to life"?
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled and shook his head, not continuing to think about this problem that was obviously becoming more and more difficult to understand.
Immediately, Hobert moved the ice sculptures on the ice surface outside. The ice layer underground felt different from the ice and snow outside.
The ice and snow outside could be manipulated with Beyonder powers, but the ice layer inside isolated all Beyonder powers. The corpses frozen under the ice layer couldn't be "dug" out with Beyonder powers.
So, he took as many as he could carry. Hobert brought them to the snowy ground outside, and after confirming that they were all dead and had no spiritual essence left in their bodies, he buried them in the snow.
He also found a stone from a nearby mountain, placed it in front of the cemetery, and used his Beyonder power to carve the words "Martyrs' Cemetery".
Then, Hobert began to wander in the ice and snow world of Antarctica. He prepared to "connect" with the escaped Outer God to see if he could find it.
Having reached the Sequence 1 level, just knowing the existence of the target allows one to "connect," but whether or not the target can be found depends entirely on luck.
If he encountered a Sequence 2 or higher target, they would have many ways to avoid this ability, and the probability of success would be almost zero.
But considering that the Outer God had been tortured by the Original Creator on Earth for tens of thousands of years, it should be very weak. If he was lucky, he could be connected to.
After wandering in the ice and snow for twenty or thirty minutes, Hobert indeed sensed a strange spirituality.
Following the weak clues, he searched, and suddenly a giant wall appeared in his sight, reaching straight into the clouds!
At first, Hobert thought it was a snow wall that had been blown up, but the closer he got, the more he realized that something was wrong.
It really was a tall wall, and it stretched into the endless darkness on both sides, unable to see where the ends of the high wall were.
Hobert was a little strange. Why would there be such a wall here?
His spirituality didn't sense any danger, so he cautiously approached the wall. When he came to the base of the wall that reached into the clouds, the surrounding cold wind slapped against the wall, making a mournful "buzzing" sound. These walls didn't move at all, standing firmly there.
Hobert looked up for a while, feeling somewhat shocked in his heart.
He reached out and touched the wall in front of him. It was an ice wall, all made of ice.
These ice walls were obviously man-made. Who would create such a place here?
Could it be that Outer God?
Hobert smiled and shook his head. That guy was unlikely to still have such abilities.
Then, Hobert used the method of "distorting" space to stand on top of the ice wall.
Hobert didn't know how high it was here, but the strong wind here felt like it could blow people away at any time.
Standing at the top, Hobert saw that the huge ice walls formed a circle, enclosing a large piece of land.
In the middle of the ice walls, there was a small ball of light in the air, emitting a dazzling light, shining like sunlight on the land inside the ice walls.
The ground was actually a sea of flowers! Green grass grew wildly inside, with many insects flying around. Although he was so far away, seeing this scene, Hobert seemed to hear the "buzzing" sound of bees.
"This…" Hobert smiled: "This is Antarctica!"
Immediately afterwards, he saw a humanoid statue with tentacles and something similar to ram horns on the ground. The statue was covered with vegetation, as if it had been there for a long time.
Hobert was slightly stunned. His spirituality sensed that it was the escaped Outer God!
At this moment, a voice that made Hobert feel weak all over suddenly appeared in his ears: "It's so cold outside, come down and warm up, I have sweet delicacies here, and warm and soft hugs…"
Hobert suddenly felt his blood rushing, and he wanted to go down and find out which young lady was talking to him.
After taking a deep breath of the cold air, Hobert calmed down a little. He smiled and said, "Cheek! So you've been hiding here!"
What responded to his guess was frost coming from the surface of his feet.
Hobert immediately jumped up. He knew very well that he must not be frozen by the ice and snow here, otherwise he would be sealed here.
He plunged headfirst from the high ice wall, and then used the method of "distorting" position to leave here.
But after "distorting" for a moment, Hobert found that he hadn't left far.
It turned out that the Primordial Demoness had already used the ice and snow outside to form a huge layer of snow, which basically had the characteristics of a seal.
Hobert planned to immediately enter the spirit world, but when "distorting" the boundary between the spirit world and the real world, his spirituality frantically warned him. Hobert realized that the Primordial Demoness was waiting for him in the spirit world.
Hobert immediately gave up the idea of escaping from the spirit world and took out the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway from the "Nation of Disorder" and put it on his head.
After becoming Sequence 1, Hobert could safely use the Uniqueness in the real world for about twenty seconds without negative effects.
Before the ice and snow barrier in front of him had completely formed, he used the "Disorder" ability to make a space chaotic.
To others, that was a chaotic space, and they would stay as far away as possible, but to Hobert, it was an escape route.
Having smoothly passed through the ice and snow barrier, a "Frozen Forest" appeared before Him. Enormous ice pillars rose abruptly from the ground, twisting and varying in height, surrounding Hobert.
Hobert used the method of "tampering" with His own position, sometimes appearing in mid-air and sometimes returning to the ground, trying to avoid these ice pillars, doing His best not to be trapped by the space they formed.
However, as the ice pillars became more and more numerous, only a single gap remained in front of Hobert, a chance to escape.
He struggled to leap towards it, and just as He was about to escape the encirclement of the ice pillars, a forearm of a maiden made of ice suddenly appeared, her delicate hand covering the only gap.
But the palm and the ice pillar did not completely close. In a moment of crisis, Hobert summoned the power of the "Nation of Disorder," forming a black barrier to resist the incoming hand.
Then, Hobert quickly escaped through the gap in the palm, using His Uniqueness to make the surrounding area within a hundred or two hundred kilometers "chaotic," and He took advantage of the "Disorder" to leave.
In one breath, He used the method of "distorting" position to reach the edge of Antarctica.
After confirming that the Primordial Demoness had not caught up, Hobert removed the Uniqueness, resealed it, and returned it to the "Nation of Disorder."
With His back to the sea, Hobert glanced again at the Antarctic continent in the darkness. This place was a perfect match for the "Primordial Demoness!"
The "Primordial Demoness" could freely create ice layers here and use ice layers with exits to complete a certain degree of self-sealing, in order to maintain Her own state.
Due to the special nature of the Antarctic continent, the gods outside could not sense the exact location of the "Primordial Demoness," which was a good protection for Her.
The only drawback might be that the "signal was not good" here, and the Primordial Demoness could not project too much power to the outside world.
Hobert recalled the previous experience of the Primordial Demoness's descent, and the descent process was indeed very poor!
At that time, Hobert thought it was because the Primordial Demoness's condition was too poor. Now it seemed that the Primordial Demoness's condition was not as bad as imagined. At least now She was in the mood to create Her own garden in Antarctica.
But the Primordial Demoness seemed to want everyone to think that Her condition was still very bad, so She had never truly descended on the Northern and Southern continents.
Hobert planned to report everything He saw today to the Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess. The situation in the Northern Continent was so tense that He did not expect the gods to come and encircle the Primordial Demoness, as long as They were aware of it.
Moreover, the Seven Gods should know some information about Antarctica to some extent, so it was not certain whether They were willing to come. After all, even True Gods could be sealed by the ice layer here, and They had to consider whether this would be a trap set by other gods.
When leaving Antarctica, Hobert still used the method of "distorting" space, rather than entering the Spirit World.
It wasn't until He returned to the Southern Continent that Hobert passed through the Spirit World, changed His appearance, restrained His aura, and entered the Earth Mother's Church on Longtail Island.
He reported the matter of encountering the Primordial Demoness in Antarctica in the form of prayer and briefly described His speculation, believing that the Primordial Demoness had recovered to a certain state.
Soon, Hobert was surrounded by large fields of wheat, and in the wheat fields, there was a loving and sacred figure: "I know."
"The Primordial Demoness dares not leave there now. The most important thing for you at present is to find a suitable opportunity to intervene in the war on the Northern Continent."
Hobert bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Mother, I will consider it carefully."
The loving and sacred figure nodded with satisfaction, and the surrounding wheat fields disappeared piece by piece, and Hobert returned to the church.
After resting in the church for a while, Hobert went to the Evernight Goddess Church and also reported the matter.
But Hobert did not receive any reply.
After a little thought, Hobert understood that at this time, the Evernight Goddess was pretending to be at the critical moment of accommodating the "Death" Uniqueness. Except for the kind of prayer that could respond automatically, the Evernight Goddess would not make any reply.
Returning to Angel, Hobert replayed this Antarctic exploration in His study. Recalling the actions of the scientific expedition team, He still felt a little sad, after all, they were just ordinary people.
Then He thought of the escaped Outer God, feeling that this guy was unlucky enough. He had been sealed by the Original Creator for tens of thousands of years, and finally escaped, but could only move in the snow-covered Antarctica. He didn't know how many years ago, He was turned into a sculpture by the Primordial Demoness.
The word "miserable" seemed to be written on this guy's forehead.
Smiling and shaking His head, Hobert recalled the purpose of His trip and came to the conclusion: it was not suitable to build a mausoleum in Antarctica.
In addition to the sealing characteristics there, and the connection with oneself might not be very good, there was also a Primordial Demoness coveting that continent, not a good place to build a mausoleum.
