"The Snow Demon Race once had a civilization? A civilization that built cities?"
In the seventh scene, for unknown reasons, people in the city began to slaughter each other. Some chose to leave the city, watching it buried under ice and snow.
In the eighth scene, some people began to find ways to leave the Frozen Soil Icefield.
The ninth...
The tenth...
In the twenty-first scene, in the picture, someone raised a ring-like object and, amidst the cheering Snow Demons, reached the border of the Frozen Plateau.
"This painting is very interesting; at the front, there's a group following the Snow Demon King, yet at the border, the Snow Demon King stands at the end of the group."
The twenty-second...
The twenty-third...
In the forty-ninth scene, also the last mural inside this temple, it depicted the newest generation of the Snow Demon King, who sent his daughter away from this icefield after ascending the throne.
"The one sent away was my mother."
Looking at the ring held by the Snow Demon King in the mural, Chen Zhixing roughly understood what the trial was all about.
Sure enough, the voice of the Snow Demon King, or rather Chen Zhixing's grandmother, rang out behind him.
"Will you take it from my hand? You know the responsibility it represents and the power it grants those who possess it. It will indeed allow one to leave the Frozen Plateau."
At some point, the Snow Demon King appeared in the temple, holding a ring strung into a necklace with a white cord, the very ring depicted in the murals that enabled one to leave the icefield.
Chen Zhixing turned around, looking at the Snow Demon King before him, and said, "Are you willing to give it to me?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
The Snow Demon King smiled, "No matter how, you are Shuangshuang's son, my grandson. For our first meeting, as a grandmother offering a small gift to her grandson, this is quite proper, right?"
"Why did you imprison my mother in this icefield before?"
"Because it's dangerous outside. I didn't want Shuangshuang to encounter danger."
"My Chen Family..."
"Danger comes from your Chen Family. You are well aware of your Chen Family's previous situation, a quagmire. As a mother, I selfishly don't want my daughter immersed in it. There's nothing wrong with that."
"And now..."
"Now."
The first-generation Snow Demon King smiled, shook his head, and reached out as if to pat Chen Zhixing's head, but then thought it inappropriate, retracting his hand with a smile:
"Now is equally dangerous. You've likely seen those returning from history. They're coming back."
"Who?!"
Chen Zhixing's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.
In an instant, numerous clues in his mind seemed to connect, ultimately leading to an extremely terrifying conclusion.
"Them, just as you think, perhaps not just them, but even older ones, yes, possibly younger ones too; all these powerful beings will be awakened one by one in this true grand era, returning, debuting, continuing to write their unfinished legends and myths.
For you born in this era, it truly is a troubling time."
"Do you know the mastermind manipulating all this behind the scenes?"
"It's not hard to guess; it's the Daluo Sacred Lands, as a spectator, watching everything the Human Race does, it's easy for an old man to see."
As the conversation reached here, the Snow Demon King's smile faded, and she regarded Chen Zhixing with a serious look, "In ancient times, the Snow Demon Race did not shun marriages with the Human Race, unlike current times. But my daughter was born in such a troubled era, so I can't be blamed for being ruthless and strict with her."
Chen Zhixing remained silent, knowing that after one of the Three Great Sacred Lands, the Daluo Sacred Lands, sought to stir up trouble in this golden grand era, what the Snow Demon King before him had done seemed less unacceptable.
"The world outside is too dangerous. As a mother, I hope the children remain by my side. Regardless, at least this Frozen Plateau can still shelter them."
"So that's how it is."
"Alright, keep the ring safe. As for the price..."
The Snow Demon King looked at the youthful face before her and smiled, "The price is that after I pass away, you must return to inherit my position, continue guarding this Frozen Plateau, and guard that coffin. Trust me, the truly terrifying thing is within that coffin, terrifying enough to be the root of an apocalypse.
Now, come back with Grandma. Your mother is still waiting for you outside. Whether she wishes to leave with you and your father depends on their own choices."
.....
In the Demon King Hall, after hearing the Snow Demon King's words, Yingy Shuangshuang was deeply moved, tears in her eyes as she looked at the Snow Demon King, "Mother's reason for not letting me and Tianliang leave was to protect us."
Holding Yingy Shuangshuang's hand, Chen Tianliang smirked; he had actually figured this out long ago. Otherwise, with Chen Tianliang's character, he would hardly have willingly been imprisoned for eight years on this Frozen Plateau.
Since the truth was now revealed, to avoid putting his son in a difficult position, Chen Tianliang had to say, "Mother is exactly right, but the children have grown up and have their own ideas, things they cannot and will not abandon, which will disappoint Mother."
The Snow Demon King frowned, "You still want to leave?"
"Naturally, we want to leave. After all, it was I, Chen Tianliang, who married Shuangshuang. My Chen Family resides in Ziwei Lin'an, not that I, Chen Tianliang, am marrying into the Frozen Plateau."
The Chen Family members beside him nodded in agreement, indicating that the third master was absolutely right.
