The Ten Cold Ancient Land is getting colder and colder, the Seventh Cold City soldiers are under strict discipline, and this is a real road to death. The whole team is extremely depressed, and the haze in everyone's heart is darker than the cloudy sky.
Fang Yun's explanation of death and hope slowly spread among the human team, and soon everyone knew about the conversation between the two men with the surname Fang.
Thinking about those words, many people suddenly felt that the sky seemed to brighten, and the white snow was no longer a symbol of coldness, but a common scenery.
hope!
Many people smiled as they thought about it.
Many people looked at the blue-clothed figure who was inspecting the team, and looked at his shoulder.
An old scholar murmured to himself: "I am old and no longer want to return to Hancheng alive. The burden on you is too heavy. I don't want my life to be placed on your shoulders. You don't have to bear the hopes of 700,000 people. As long as you are alive, you are my greatest hope."
The scholars nearby stood in awe.
"Mr. Lu is right! Fang Xusheng carries our hopes, and the power we can really give him is minimal, but we will support him in our hearts and in our actions! I am just a student, and there is not much I can do, but I can set up an ancestral motto so that my descendants will remember one thing from generation to generation, that it was Fang Xusheng who saved their lives! In this world, anyone can rebel, but not Fang Xusheng!"
"I just figured it out. This is not a question of life and death, but a question of how to make choices as a reader of the books of sages! I can be muddle-headed and even lazy at ordinary times, but at times like this, we should leave something in this world to prove that we have been here! We cannot set up an immortal monument like Fang Xusheng, nor can we become famous like the celebrities of past dynasties, but we can leave our hope behind! We may die, but our hope will be passed on by the human race! The human race is invincible!"
"The human race is invincible!"
"The human race is invincible!"
The whispers seemed to converge into a torrent, beating the drum of hope in everyone's heart.
Where there is hope, there is a future.
Even death cannot extinguish the hope in everyone's heart!
Fang Yun smiled slightly and continued his inspection.
The hope of the world lies in the hands of human beings!
The human race's team naturally sped up.
The large group of Star Demon Barbarians in front soon noticed it and had to speed up their pace as well.
Several great demon kings turned their heads to look at the human team, revealing a slight look of surprise.
Because they saw that the snowflakes in the sky were actually slightly pushed away by an invisible force, and the amount of snowflakes falling on the human heads was reduced by one tenth. Even the pervasive coldness of the Ten Cold Ancient Land seemed to deviate somewhat from the human group.
This power may seem to have no substantial effect, but if it acts on 700,000 people or more, miracles will definitely occur.
"Human race..."
The looks of the five demon kings became more complicated.
Time passed day by day, and in the early morning of the fourth day of the second lunar month, the bugle sounded, and the human race came out of the tents they had built last night, and then started to make fires and cook. It was no problem to eat dry food and drink cold water when marching in the Shengyuan Continent, but in the Shihan Ancient Land, if you can't eat hot meals, normal people can't support it.
After everyone finished their meal, the great scholar on duty slowly withdrew his strength, and everyone felt the coldness of the Ten Cold Ancient Land gradually increasing.
Fang Yun glanced at the great scholar Kong Yinghai who was on duty, and felt curious about the great scholar's power. It was impossible for a university scholar to use his own power to protect 700,000 human beings from wind and rain.
"Perhaps when one becomes a great scholar and touches the edge of the holy way, one's control over the energy of heaven and earth will become more detailed..."
Then, the thunderous words of a scholar from the Yan family reached everyone's ears. It turned out that it was less than a day's journey from here to the Ice Emperor Palace. If nothing unexpected happened, they would arrive before dusk. However, the Ice Emperor Palace only had one main gate and two side gates. Even though it was very large, only about four million people could enter in a day.
Fang Yun calculated in his mind that one hour is 3,600 seconds, so 24 hours in a day is 86,400 seconds. About 50 people can enter in one second, but the actual situation cannot be so smooth, especially for those huge monsters, one second is not enough.
There is no half-saint with power at the gate of the Ice Emperor Palace who can directly move people into the Ice Emperor Palace. It will take at least five days and five nights just for the total population of the Ten Cold Ancient Land of more than 20 million to enter the gate.
The casualty rate would increase by one point for every day they lived outside. The great scholars of the human race had a way to deal with it, but the great demon kings of the Ice Clan and the demons simply could not do it. They could only let those demons live in the cold tents and fend for themselves.
The worst year in the history of the Ten Cold Ancient Land, 10% of the demons and barbarians froze to death on the first night, so that on the second day, all parties fought to compete for the qualification to enter the Ice Emperor Palace first, and the Ice Clan even fell into internal strife. On the third day, fierce beasts from all over the Ten Cold Ancient Land arrived one after another and rushed towards the Ice Emperor Palace desperately, forming a force more terrifying than the charge of millions of knights. In order to protect themselves, the tribes outside the Ice Emperor Palace had to kill the fierce beasts while entering the Ice Emperor Palace.
That year, those tribes that entered the Ice Emperor Palace on the first day were very lucky, but among the people who entered the Ice Emperor Palace on the next four days, only one in ten entered the Ice Emperor Palace. There was even a cold city where all the Ice Tribe members died outside the Ice Emperor Palace.
As a result, the Ten Cold Kings later formulated a rule that the first one to arrive would go in first. If the latecomers wanted to enter first, they had to send the Demon King or the Grand Secretary to challenge. The latecomers could only send one person, while the early comers could send three!
The latecomer must fight a life-and-death battle with the three people respectively. After winning three consecutive battles, the tribe to which the latecomer belongs will be eligible to enter the Ice Emperor Palace first.
However, the time limit is only one hour. After two hours, people from other cities are also eligible to challenge, but the original latecomers become first comers and can send out three people.
The rules for competing to enter the Ice Palace may seem insignificant, but they are extremely cruel.
Because the only one who can truly defeat the three people on his own can be a genius competing for the position of Han Jun. Moreover, even if such a genius wins the competition to enter the Ice Palace, he cannot be intact and will inevitably be injured, which also means losing the opportunity to compete for the position of Han Jun.
However, if such a genius is not sent out to fight for entry into the Ice Palace, large numbers of people in the entire clan would likely die outside.
Drinking poison to quench thirst is often the only option.
The later one enters the Ice Emperor Palace, the higher the mortality rate. This is a lesson recorded in blood by all races throughout the ages. Even if the ancient land is born and destroyed, even if the world changes dramatically, as long as one arrives at the Ice Emperor Palace, one will feel the endless resentment and death there.
After the Ice Emperor Palace appears, the gate is not opened immediately. It is often opened after the various tribes have waited for several days. Therefore, every time the Ice Emperor Palace appears, there will be a life-and-death battle to enter the Ice Palace.
Many human beings looked at Fang Yun, and there was a trace of pity in their eyes, because among the human race's university scholars, Fang Yun was not the only choice, but he was definitely the best choice.
