Chapter 973 The End of the Northern Continent
...

"Are you looking for the Zhongbei Continent?"

Mabel only learned after she left that Milo did not intend to return directly to Nanwei City.

To be precise, she was "tricked" into coming.

...

“To be precise, it’s the Vomiadres Mountains of the North End Continent,” Milo corrected.

"What are you going to do in that godforsaken place?" Mabel frowned.

"Go and keep a promise."

"Why did you bring me along if you're going to keep your promise? It's very cold there."

Mabel knew Milo was a jerk, but she didn't expect him to be this much of a jerk.

They said they were taking her to Nanwei City for classes, but in reality, they went in the opposite direction from Nanwei City after leaving the house.

But then again, this person had done ruthless things in the territories of other temple powers. If he were truly a faith plunderer who relied solely on killing, he wouldn't have such an attitude towards Illan.

It's all thanks to the little girl that the academy found outside back then.

"Hey, let's go, hurry back."

Although she knew she was being used as a pawn, Mabel had no complaints.

She saw some very strange qualities in Milo, qualities that none of the gods of Mount Kadas had ever possessed.

...

……

Freya Sanchez.

The name has been appearing in Milo's mind more and more often lately.

He always believed that this was a normal psychological activity called longing, because as his humanity gradually returned, he could no longer be as easily indifferent as before, and some unique "human" qualities would slowly appear in him.

But gradually, Milo realized that it was not just a simple matter of longing.

His will has reached an unprecedented level. Even when he suddenly advanced to the CCD level on the Blood Moon battlefield, he never had such a clear and firm self-will.

Milo's perception of the outside world is currently at its peak.

When the accuracy and sensitivity of perception and deduction are raised to a sufficiently high level, it will evolve into an effect similar to "prophecy".

Freya has been gone for quite some time now.

During this time, Milo did think of her, whether in her horned human form, her dragon form, or her final awakened strange half-dragon form.

But during this time, he did not receive any negative emotions from the name Freya.

Most of the time, they reminisced about the two of them when they were at their weakest, the days of struggling from the Cold Plains to the Southern Border.

Until recently, he began to frequently and uncontrollably hallucinate the mangled body of the white ancient dragon after its death...

...

Milo knew what Freya was going to do in the North End Continent.

She said it was her race's mission, the mission of all the Xi people. After awakening her ancient dragon bloodline, she left Nanwei City without hesitation. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay in Nanwei City; in fact, she wanted to stay more than anyone else. However, her bloodline gave her the power to reshape Milo's body, and at the same time, it forced her to walk the path that all the Xi people had to walk.

Milo had promised her some things.

Back then, they were still rolling around on the cold plains.

Freya may have taken that statement as a joke, but as they've come this far, even if it was just a joke, it should have become true by now.

Freya had no idea that the human "pet" she casually picked up on the Cold Plains was actually planning to help her kill a god, and that he had indeed killed a god before.

...

……

"The Womiadres Mountains of the Northwest Continent..."

Mabel truly lived up to her reputation as the first mage of star magic. She had roughly guessed what Milo was looking for just from hearing a few words from him.

"You have Greek friends?"

The Greeks have been rushing towards that road, that road that has been cut off, generation after generation.

This race, imbued with the blood of ancient dragons, has many members who are unaware of their racial origins and have been searching for them for generations.

They do not serve any god. According to their racial doctrine, the Greeks have their own Lord, and the Heavenly Father who freed them from the bondage of the Greek race awaits them on the other side of chaos.

Therefore, they did not submit to any temple, and were thus oppressed and purified, the purification method being to cut them up and seal them in jars.

These are descriptions of the Hierophant people from various temples.

Now, the temple where the Greeks were chopped up and sealed in jars for purification has been emptied of its rulers.

The Temple of Hooked Finger ceased to exist.

...

Milo is keeping his promise, but it seems there's something wrong on the other side of the mountain.

He has to go and see.

He knew how strong Freya was after awakening her bloodline; she could easily crush any one of the three ladies of sorrow. At times, her powerful ancient dragon bloodline even gave people a sense of oppression from beyond the distant stars.

She is not necessarily weaker than Milo.

But perhaps it was precisely because it became too strong that it acted recklessly.

...

"You know there's a spider god there, right?"

Mabel continuously drew array diagrams on the ground, activating magic circles one after another, leading Milo and Byrne on a journey deeper into the North Continent.

"Atlak Nakya".

Milo nodded.

He actually went to learn about this special entity.

Nakya, the spider god, is said to be the object of worship and veneration by all the cold spiders of the Cold Plains.

He has similar origin stories to the Hiyans, both being beings from beyond the stars. The difference is that the Hiyans are a race that appeared in recent times, while the Nakya descended in ancient times.

In the Dreamlands, Nakia does not belong to the Dream Gods of Kadas, nor to the Old Gods. Because He descended into the Dreamlands so long ago, He has remained deep in the Vomiadres Mountains ever since, and He did not even participate in the War of the Stars, so He does not belong to the Outer Gods system.

In this day and age, He is somewhat similar to Igor, the father of all serpents, a unique being.

It does not belong to any pantheon; it is simply an ancient creature.

...

"What the Greeks are desperately seeking is actually the way back to the stars. Their bloodline comes from an ancient dragon that fell into the Vomiadres Mountains."

Ancient Dragon is dead, but His will remains in his bloodline.

For the Hierophant people, the power bestowed by their bloodline is a blessing, but the lingering will to return to the stars within their bloodline is a curse.

Mabel calmly recounted everything she knew about Greek history.

She was observing Milo's reaction.

Milo was found to be very calm.

Or rather, he remained unwavering, as if the purpose of his trip had been clearly defined long before he set off.

No matter what happens, he will steadfastly carry out his own will once he arrives on the North Continent.

...

Soon, as they ventured deeper, their view began to be covered by a blanket of white snow.

Here, there is no sign of life.
