Chapter 932 - 932
Chapter 932: I Am... The King?
“What? All the fragments are in the same place?”
At this moment, Tan Han looked at the message sent by Ming Xueming and frowned immediately.
Not only would all the fragments gather in the same place for some time, but the fragments held by Wan Shi Wu were also there!
They promised that as long as Tan Han and the others went to get them, they would offer them with both hands without any resistance.
But anyone would know there was a problem!
You offer them with both hands, but what about others?
Tan Han also didn't expect the other party to pit them here.
Mainly because Tan Han wanted to stall for time back then, so there were not too many restrictions on the contract.
Eventually, this result was caused.
Now Tan Han dared not go to get Wan Shi Wu's fragments, nor dared she go even if she got the location of other fragments.
Plus, with Lucianne's withdrawal process and declaration, the contract was fulfilled by the other party just like this!
This undoubtedly made Tan Han feel very uncomfortable at this moment.
But this might not be a bad thing.
The other party sentimentally restricted the main forces of other Transcendent academies at the laboratory ruins, which undoubtedly bought them a lot of time!
Even if people from Wan Shi Wu and the Witch's Secret Realm Club all came and accurately found them, it wasn't impossible to fight!
Thinking about it this way, Tan Han felt that things weren't as bad as she just thought.
The Ancient Glacial Ice race had almost completed the construction of the Ice Crystal Temple these days, and the ritual could start at any time!
Even if this wasn't a complete ritual, the Ancient Glacial Ice capable of exerting strength far exceeding the Royal Clan would be a great help!
They could even use this to raid the laboratory ruins and catch that group of idiots in one fell swoop.
But all this had to be based on the success of the King Coronation Ritual.
And the Ancient Glacial Ice who achieved Kingship had to be strong enough, otherwise, it would really be delivering food.
Looking at the chat interface at this moment, Tan Han also unilaterally ended the chat.
After all, scrolling up would show Ming Xueming's previous questioning of them.
But Tan Han also felt wronged.
There wasn't anything good at the laboratory ruins originally; could they be blamed?
Originally, they should be happily waiting to receive the fragments, but being messed with by them made them very uncomfortable.
However... no matter what, they just needed to wait quietly for the King Coronation Ritual to begin.
Some time passed again.
At this time, Tan Han and the other three stood at the ritual observation spot.
This grand King Coronation Ritual had no rehearsal!
When all members of the Ancient Glacial Ice Royal Clan gathered here, the ritual had already begun.
Or rather, when they built the ritual altar of the Ice Crystal Temple, the ritual had already started.
That was why Lie said the construction of the temple couldn't be interrupted.
Because what was interrupted wasn't the construction, but their faith and ritual!
And when all Royal Clan members gathered in front of the altar, the entire Ice Throne Secret Realm also changed.
All Ancient Glacial Ice, whether guards or minions, seemed to be awakened at this moment.
They shook off the ice crystals and drifting snow, starting a pilgrimage path.
The Ice Throne Secret Realm was very large, burying countless Ancient Glacial Ice.
But at this moment, they all woke up and headed in the same direction.
The King of the Ancient Glacial Ice race; in the history of the Void, their King once ascended to the Transcendent Saint Stage.
Therefore... the start of the King Coronation Ritual was also the beginning of the pilgrimage for all Ancient Glacial Ice.
No one could stop the determination of the Ancient Glacial Ice's pilgrimage, nor could anyone question this race's faith in the King.
Unless the ice crystals broke, consciousness was cut off, and they were reduced to ice dust.
Even so, their bodies sublimated into wind and snow, guiding the direction for the clan members who hadn't arrived yet.
At this moment, the snow in the Secret Realm... the wind direction changed.
It was as if invisibly, a consciousness focused here, and the glory of a race seemed to rise at this moment!
Using the power of the whole race!
To achieve the King Coronation Ritual.
If unsuccessful, they would become a handful of wind and snow in the Secret Realm.
“This... what exactly is this situation!”
The joint development team of the laboratory ruins had just arrived at their marked location at this moment.
Before the excavation officially started, such an accident suddenly happened in the Secret Realm.
No matter who it was, they were all startled by this sudden change.
On the road they walked, the earth trembled, and rough bodies composed of ice crystals crawled up from under the ice and snow earth.
In just an instant, everyone was ready to face the enemy.
But soon they found that these usually violent Ancient Glacial Ice actually stopped attacking them at this moment.
They seemed to have the same goal and went firmly in that direction.
At this moment, the highly alert crowd looked at these Ancient Glacial Ice, somewhat confused.
But sharp people also sensed the problem with the Secret Realm.
“The wind direction changed...”
Although those Ancient Glacial Ice didn't show the desire to attack, everyone was still wary of these huge guys.
But no one dared to act rashly because the number of these monsters was simply too great!
If someone suddenly got itchy hands and attracted the hatred of these Ancient Glacial Ice, even if they could deal with these minion-level Ancient Glacial Ice, they would end up in a sorry state.
“What exactly are these guys doing? Why suddenly...”
“Who knows? Could it be Tan Han and the others playing tricks? Who said the wind direction changed just now?”
“It was me. The wind direction did change just now. The direction the wind and snow are blowing now seems consistent with the direction these monsters are heading.”
“How about we follow these guys to see what exactly happened?”
At this time, someone proposed.
But when he was about to step forward, suddenly a binding force prevented him from taking a step with those Ancient Glacial Ice!
“F*ck! It's the Witch's Contract! Damn thing... not letting us leave, waiting for us here? Where are the people from the Witch Academy! Come out and explain to me!”
And at this time, some people from the Witch Academy were also confused.
They just came out to organize the data of the laboratory ruins!
What did it have to do with them?
“Don't spray blood on people! What does this have to do with us? We are also surprised, okay!”
“You must have known something, that's why you set this trap for us, right? Even taking a step back, if you really don't know anything, what about those guys from your club!”
At this moment, those people still questioned relentlessly.
“Calm down first! Calm down... How about we go back first? Or send someone back to report the situation in the Secret Realm?”
“How to go back? Before jointly announcing the completion of exploration, no one can leave!”
“Then abandon this place, directly announce completion together, bypass the contract first...”
“I disagree! How can we do this? Without the contract, what guarantee is there for the fair distribution of this laboratory ruins exploration!”
For a time, many people argued due to disagreements.
Among this large group of people, some came specifically for this ruin, but some were forced to come because of the contract list.
Something went wrong in the Secret Realm, or rather, there was abnormal movement; how could they just watch like this?
“Stop arguing! Believe in our companions outside the Secret Realm. It's not like we have no one left. If something really happens, there will be others to investigate for us.”
“Isn't it good for us to do the job entrusted to us now? It's not like the Secret Realm will collapse without someone!”
Amidst bursts of quarrels, some pragmatic people had already started surveying and excavating, but because of such a mutation, this group almost fell apart instantly.
If not for the binding force of the Witch's Contract, they really would have scattered.
And apart from these people, the scattered people still remaining in the Secret Realm at this moment also discovered such an anomaly.
After some operations, people outside the Secret Realm also quickly learned the news.
Facing such a sudden situation, Ming Xueming of Wan Shi Wu prepared to contact Tan Han again.
Her intuition told her that this must be Tan Han's doing!
But when her message was sent out, she found that the other party had blocked her!
Looking at the chat staying at the interface where she sent the location, Ming Xueming felt she had nowhere to vent her anger at this moment.
“It's Tan Han... it must be their doing! Damn it... what exactly did they do?”
At this moment, Ming Xueming, whose emotions usually didn't show on her face, also vented angrily.
Fortunately, she was alone here, otherwise, the image she usually built would probably collapse at this moment.
“Or is the laboratory ruins they released a smoke bomb, used to cover their actions?”
Very quickly, Ming Xueming, who learned a lot of news and intelligence, came to this conclusion.
And this conclusion was actually easy to infer, but the difficulty was that she didn't expect it.
She was overly immersed in the calculations she thought!
“Damn Tan Han...”
After figuring this out, there was one not-so-bad news for the Witch Academy side.
At least the main team of the Witch Academy wasn't pinned down at the ruins by the Witch's Contract.
They had more manpower to explore what happened in the Secret Realm.
Combined with the laboratory they found at the beginning, confirming that the laboratory had been “looted” by Tan Han and the others, Ming Xueming reasonably guessed that Tan Han must have found something in the laboratory.
High probability it was extremely important content related to the Grand Spellbook!
That was why they were so eager to want all the fragments.
Now it seemed that gathering all fragments in one place also inadvertently broke some of Tan Han's plans.
That was why Tan Han blocked her immediately.
Very good... everything linked up!
After learning from the painful experience, they immediately organized a brand-new exploration team to investigate the anomalies in the Secret Realm immediately.
Anyway, their actions had a severe lag.
But investigating what happened in the Secret Realm seemed much easier than they expected.
Because the abnormal behavior of those Ancient Glacial Ice seemed to naturally point out the source of the anomaly for them.
Not only the Witch Academy, but other academies also organized manpower immediately.
Facing this sudden situation, people from other Transcendent academies didn't even have time to question them about what happened.
And for this accident, Ming Xueming also decided to enter it personally!
And representatives of other academies were the same at this moment.
The Secret Realm suddenly had such an anomaly, giving them a very serious sense of crisis.
If they didn't come forward personally, something irreversible might happen!
Ming Xueming also directly entrusted all matters to the vice president, and emphasized letting Xing Anlei and the others pay attention to the situation of the Secret Realm at all times.
If they encountered unstoppable things, don't hesitate, ask the academy for help directly!
After all, if this Secret Realm collapsed, it might affect the entire academy!
Just thinking about the wind and snow and the deposited ice fields and glaciers in that Secret Realm... any place couldn't withstand such a Secret Realm suddenly collapsing!
And after these people experienced the arduous wind and snow, they also quickly locked onto an area.
It seemed to be a tall snow mountain there, but the closer to it, the denser these Ancient Glacial Ice were!
Students of the Witch Academy risked being destroyed by the wind and snow, riding flying brooms into the sky.
Then, they saw the magnificent scene they would never forget in their lives...
Countless Ancient Glacial Ice gathered here. They came from all directions of the Secret Realm.
Forcibly stepping out paths of pilgrimage!
“This snow mountain... what is this situation?”
“This snow mountain seems a bit wrong? Have you noticed? If using detection, the snow mountain in front simply doesn't exist!”
“What?”
When the crowd discovered this anomaly, the bold ones initiated an attack directly and unceremoniously bombarded the “snow mountain.”
Then this continuous snow mountain was completely exposed.
This was an Ice Snow Maze disguised as a snow mountain!
And the sudden attack also angered all the Ancient Glacial Ice present at this moment.
Inside the Ice Snow Maze, that was their King about to be born!
How could they let these guys blaspheme like this!
Just as the Ancient Glacial Ice rioted, Tan Han and the others inside the Ice Snow Maze also felt the movement.
This was different from the resonance of those Ancient Glacial Ice coming for pilgrimage, but a very brutal bombardment.
So Tan Han immediately judged that someone had come.
Tan Han looked somewhat worriedly at the group of Ancient Glacial Ice conducting the ritual at this moment.
The Ice Snow Maze could indeed support them for a period of time, but if the ritual failed...
Then it would be hard for them to have a second chance.
Just as Tan Han and the others were worried, the Ancient Glacial Ice at this moment had come to the most critical moment of the King Coronation Ritual...
On the altar, they used their own bodies to reshape the ancient glory!
Seizing the power of the Grand Spellbook, reproducing the grandeur of antiquity!
Every one of their bodies was filled with reverence for the King, and their eyes were full of fanaticism...
Their lives condensed for this!
In the very center of the Ice Crystal Temple, on the main altar leading the King Coronation Ritual, that purest ice crystal burst out with terrifying power under the blessing of the ritual.
It was as if something awakened at this moment, chaotic consciousness gradually converging into the order of life...
And the chief priest Royal Clan at the very front held the Crown of Absolute Zero, chanting ancient blessings.
The power of ritual resonance gradually broke through the Ice Snow Maze.
The people outside hadn't broken this maze from the outside, but the King Coronation Ritual bloomed with the most magnificent miracle of life at this moment!
“Ancient King... your clan members are waiting for your awakening...”
“Respond to us!”
At this point in the ritual, the Ancient Glacial Ice race offered everything for it.
They didn't proceed in the way of achieving the Grand Spellbook because they could no longer obtain all the fragments.
But at this moment, these fragments were merely sacrifices to awaken the King, also the interpretation of power at the moment of becoming King, and even more the reproduction of the glory of the ancient race...
They were waiting for that voice responding to them!
But the longer the ritual continued, the more the eyes of these Royal Clan members were filled with despair...
Their King didn't respond to them...
Until a voice as clear as ice crystal echoed in this world, as if its voice resonated with the world of the Secret Realm at this moment!
“I am... King...”
***
At this moment, far away in the Primal Dream State Laboratory on the other side.
My clone consciousness sunk in chaos heard a distant call at this moment.
As if countless faiths anchored that consciousness from the chaos... calls one after another, yet having nowhere to be placed.
Until I tried responding to them...
“I am... King?”
Those countless faiths and Destiny were added to my body at this moment!
