My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Earth, Parallel World, located in an unknown area of Antarctica.

The vast expanses of ice and snow cover the entire world, leaving almost no traces of human activity here.

Occasionally, at the entrance of Antarctica, you might see a few groups of penguins, seemingly squabbling over cries of "recharge QB" or the like, but at the very center of Antarctica, even the shadows of these creatures have vanished.

Minus 62 degrees, still manageable, no big deal.

Xue Dili exhaled a long breath, the air immediately turning into icy fragments that fell upon the increasingly hardened snow surface.

Now, he too was slowly evolving in a non-human direction—able to backstroke in magma, walk in space, and withstand water pressure thousands of meters deep without oxygen for nearly an hour.

And this very center of Antarctica seemed merely a bit chilly to him.

Perhaps, instead of resisting it, the Void has dulled my sensory nerves?

Xue Dili suddenly had this inexplicable thought.

Quickly dispelling this wild imagination from his mind, Xue Dili stepped forward a few more paces, abruptly stepping on something hard.

Could it be some long-frozen corpse? Xue Dili’s expression suddenly turned complex.

He immediately began to dig, and sure enough, unearthed a human corpse with arms raised.

It should be a Caucasian male, wearing clothes with the French flag printed on them, and he had raised his hands high in the last frozen moment, seemingly trying to shout something.

If not for some botanical patterns on his body, Xue Dili would have thought it was something else.

He should have been a French Antarctic researcher, but he was just parasitized by the Divine Tree, leading his entire being to transform. However, the transformation hadn’t ended when he was illuminated by the Light turned by Xue Dili, paralyzing the Divine Tree simultaneously.

Thus, he also ended the transformation and returned to normal, but the rollercoaster-like fluctuations of his body made him unable to withstand the -60 degrees Celsius environment, freezing to death here...

Xue Dili silently apologized in his heart, quietly burying the researcher in the snow, planning to take him away upon his return, at least back to the French research station.

Continuing to walk some distance forward...

"Here it is; perhaps the impact on this world will be minimal here." Xue Dili said.

The battle against the Eighth Apostle officially commenced!

He actually chose two locations, one at the exact center of the Pacific Ocean, Nemo Point, and the other being this South Pole.

In the end, he chose the battlefield here. Although the Pacific’s Nemo Point was more desolate of human presence, Xue Dili was not yet certain whether a battle erupting in the ocean’s center would cause tsunamis and tectonic shifts that might inundate the closest nations.

Though the nearest countries to Nemo Point were more than two thousand kilometers away, Xue Dili decided not to risk it.

The final choice was the South Pole, serving as the ultimate battlefield against the Eighth Apostle.

If conditions permitted, Xue Dili was not inclined to fight on Earth, even if it’s the Earth of a parallel world.

But here, his home-ground advantage allowed him to exert his full combat potency, proving the safest option.

Compared to here, perhaps only near the Mimic Venerable King somewhere in the universe would be safer.

"Mom, let’s begin," Xue Dili said.

In the next instant, the Earth Consciousness was ready to commence the ritual, and Xue Dili was prepared to undergo the Undead Transformation here.

Choosing the South Pole was also to prevent the virus or curse released after his Undead Transformation from drifting to other peculiar places, which could cause irreversible harm to the world.

"Thank you, Mom..." Xue Dili said.

Through reason and sentiment with Earth Consciousness, detailing wins and losses, and disclosing everything about the Eighth Apostle, Mother grudgingly agreed.

Mainly, the Earth Consciousness knew that even if it didn’t agree, Xue Dili would certainly find a way to complete this plan elsewhere, possibly with the Interstellar Corps or elsewhere.

So it was better to do it under its watchful eye; at least, even if something went wrong, it could step in immediately.

Even with the Apostle.

If solely relying on Earth Consciousness, even as planetary consciousness, it could at most detonate this parallel Earth, not necessarily able to kill the Apostle.

After all, it involves dispersing all power, lacking concentration. But here, it can endlessly empower Xue Dili, concentrating all strength! Even if the Apostle comes, it would ensure no return!

Just like the energy of an earthquake being actually terrifying, but too dispersed, causing damage far less than its energy value; if a magnitude 7 earthquake’s energy was concentrated on a small enough point, it could instantly penetrate a planet.

This explains why the Guardian is nearly invincible on their home planets.

A planet is like a massive Giant Beast, but finds it hard to kill the invading viruses and bacteria.

And Xue Dili acts like a white blood cell of the planet, swiftly eliminating these viruses and bacteria, and even this white blood cell has turned into a ghost shell, starting an electric spin.

However, for Earth Consciousness, the only melancholy thing is that its nurtured white blood cell seems to want to turn into a cosmic white blood cell.
