Several other palace masters turned their heads one after another, smiling, watching the shocked expression on Su Xueer's face.
When they first learned the truth, they had the same expression on their faces.
"Let's go, let's try to reach the foot of the mountain before dark, otherwise those vicious things will come out, and it will be another trouble." The leader of the palace master said.
When the Palace Masters heard what he said, their expressions all turned serious, and their feet immediately accelerated.
It is the hour of polar day in the polar circle.
So when it is dark, the sky is not dark.
But the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, gradually covering the faint sunlight.
The light became dimmer and dimmer, and finally disappeared into darkness.
The cold rain poured down, washing away everything.
In the wind and rain, a group of people finally arrived at their destination.
"I'll discuss it with you guys." A Palace Master panted.
"What?" someone asked.
"In the past few years, you all don't want to die, or I won't be able to bear it."
"With Xinghui supporting you, you won't have any major problems."
"But it's too much to suffer."
Several palace masters were talking, but Su Xueer looked around.
Here is a mountain made of metal.
When they came to the foot of the hill, a small metal platform rose from the ground.
The eight Palace Masters stepped forward one by one and pressed their fingerprints on the table.
"Come on, Palace Master Su, press one too." Someone greeted.
Su Xueer went forward and pressed her hand on the metal platform.
After getting the fingerprints of the nine palace masters, a green button and a red button popped up on the metal platform.
"Remember these two buttons." A palace master said.
"What are they for?" Su Xueer asked.
"Camouflage waves are emitted on the surface of the planet, so that the cosmic monsters cannot detect the existence of this planet."
"Press green to start running; press red to stop masquerading."
"Is it running now?"
"It has been running since modern times. Otherwise, why would so many cosmic monsters turn a blind eye to our vibrant planet?"
"This is also the reason why the Federation will never be invaded by enemy countries."
"Whoever dares to deal with the Federation must be prepared to face the swarming cosmic monsters."
"Remember, no one dares to invade the Freedom Federation. The Federation belongs to Jiufu forever and belongs to us."
The palace masters taught earnestly.
"I remember." Su Xueer said.
"The new successor has arrived, please guide her direction." A palace master said to the metal platform.
"Are you sure?" A deep voice came from the metal stage.
"Yes, she has arrived."
Next, no one spoke.
But on the high mountain, a road gradually appeared.
At the foot of the mountain, a metal room with a square meter of 100 square meters slowly rose from the ground.
Several Palace Masters breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, and walked towards the metal room one after another.
The room is as warm as spring, and a comfortable large armchair, as well as hot water and snacks have already been prepared.
The most important thing is that there is also a small bed specially used for rest.
Seeing Su Xueer, she followed the crowd and walked inside.
"You don't need to come in." A palace master said.
"Why?" Su Xueer asked.
"You are the new successor, you must climb the mountain—we are here this time mainly to let you, the new successor, climb the mountain."
"Is there anything on the mountain?" Su Xueer asked.
"Inheritance ceremony."
"What exactly?"
"You've got to see for yourself, we're not in a position to talk about it, and it has to be respected."
The eight Palace Masters looked at her together with serious expressions.
"A piece of advice." The leader of the old Palace Master said.
"As the Palace Master, your wishes will be assisted by the guardians of the Nine Palaces, but only once, please use this precious right with caution."
Su Xueer was silent for a while, nodded, and walked up the mountain along the mountain road that just appeared.
The Xinghui cloak emitted a blurred light, covering Su Xueer.
During the climbing and walking all the way, Su Xueer didn't see any living things.
The whole mountain is bare.
In the stormy weather, only occasional mummified corpses could be seen in the leeward places covered by mountains.
These are people who want to spy on the secrets. After death, they are blown into a corner by the recurring arctic wind and stay forever.
The wind and rain could not blow her body, but with the continuous upward climb, the temperature dropped sharply.
A faint light radiated from the Xinghui cloak, completely covering Su Xueer.
When the temperature dropped to a level where a human being could not survive, a force suddenly surged in Su Xueer's body.
This is a vast and majestic force, it manifested, turned into light and heat, and wrapped Su Xueer tightly.
The warmth returned to Su Xueer's body.
"Strange, this is not my power." Su Xueer said softly after analyzing the source of the power.
She could suddenly sense a complex and distorted rune pattern in her body.
This is the rune pattern on the emblem of the Su Mansion, and every direct descendant must recognize this rune pattern since childhood.
They have been warned since childhood that everyone will die of old age, but this pattern will always be passed on and will not be cut off.
Su Xueer suddenly understood something.
"It turns out that this is the power my grandfather passed on to me..."
She was silent for a moment, raised her feet, and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.
Several hours later, Su Xueer finally reached the top of the mountain.
"The climbing speed is very fast. It seems that this time, we have ushered in a young successor."
In the howling wind and rain, this voice was hoarse and full of vicissitudes of life, with a strange calmness and gentleness, resounding in Su Xueer's heart.
"Who are you?" Su Xueer asked softly.
"It's cold outside, please come in and talk." The female voice said again.
The ground on the top of the mountain sank, and soon a small house rose up.
The door of the house opened automatically, and it was dark inside.
Su Xueer took a look at the house.
This is a small house made of pure wood, which looks unremarkable.
But at the pole of the North Pole, on the high mountains formed by the appearance of giant spaceships, it is almost impossible for such a wooden house to exist.
Su Xueer strode in.
There was silence in the darkness, except for the slight messy sound of wind and rain beating on the windows.
That voice sounded from Su Xueer's heart again.
"Welcome, young lady, it seems that a relative of yours has passed away."
"Yes, that's my grandfather."
"So, you are quite outstanding, otherwise your grandpa would have passed the position to your parents."
"I'm not great."
"I've seen your humble qualities, and that's a good start."
"Miss, please close the door and come to the fireplace."
Su Xueer closed the door as she said, blocking the wind and snow outside.
She maintained her demeanor and walked towards the fireplace with light steps.
The speaking woman, if she could be called a human being, was stirring the sporadic flames in the grate with a poker.
The woman said without turning her head: "You smell like wind, please do me a favor and light up the fire."
"Ah, okay." Su Xueer gently raised her hand.
The breeze floated, and the flames in the fireplace burst into flames.
The firelight illuminated the darkness and warmed the room slightly.
Su Xueer stood there, observing the other party silently.
This is a man who has aged to the extreme.
She was curled up in a large cloak, and the vicissitudes of life on her face went deep into the wrinkles like a knife.
She has no eyes, no nose, these organs are all empty.
Her mouth was sewn shut.
From head to toe, every exposed part of her is wrinkled, like an orange that has been sucked dry.
"I hope my appearance doesn't scare you."
"No."
"If you don't know how to talk to me, you can start with some small questions." A woman's voice sounded from the bottom of Su Xueer's heart.
"Why are you like this?" Su Xueer asked.
"Heh, the general heirs' legs tremble when they see me, and they run away quickly after making the request. It's rare for someone to ask me about my situation." The woman was quite surprised and said with great interest.
"It's okay to tell you, I once participated in a small game, in order to obtain eternal life, and to protect Jiufu for a long time."
"Is the immortal playing? That seems like a terrible trap." Su Xueer said.
"Wait," Su Xueer suddenly thought of something, and said, "I have seen the game of immortals a few times, but I don't seem to have seen you."
"Of course you didn't see that I participated in this game thousands of years ago."
The woman's voice said with a smile: "Yeah, why did I participate in this dangerous game? Because after a comprehensive comparison and analysis, I found that their immortality pills are indeed the closest to real immortality except for the side effects. amazing stuff."
"You look like this because of side effects?"
"Yes, I have dealt with all the organs with problems from the beginning, and used special potions and secret methods, so I can live until today."
The woman spread out her cloak, exposing the bloodless bones to Su Xueer.
Su Xueer looked at the other party's appearance, with a look of unbearable expression on her face.
How ruthless a person is to treat himself like this.
"Don't put on that look, I'm happy with where I am."
The woman's voice continued: "You are still a young lady, of course you don't understand how a luxury it is to survive in the doomsday of the worlds."
"The end of the world?" Su Xueer keenly grasped this information.
"We can't just stand and talk all the time, please sit down," the woman said.
Two ancient wooden sofa chairs suddenly appeared, and they were placed safely by the fireplace.
