Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

On the silver throne, some of the twelve queens, who seemed to have existed forever, slowly opened their eyes.

They lowered their heads, their eyes devoid of any emotion, and simply gazed silently at the Earthlings before them.

Having existed for so long, they have become a kind of spiritual force.

Because they already knew everything in the universe, and they had witnessed the birth and demise of generations of humankind.

Zhang Yi felt a slight chill and bowed slightly, saying, "On the Twelve Thrones of the Radiant Moon, human Zhang Yi pays respects to the Queens."

On the towering throne, the twelve silver goddesses remained seated quietly.

Some of them had their eyes closed, their faces as if they were asleep in an eternal dream.

However, in the next instant, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space, that ethereal and sacred voice resonated directly in Zhang Yi's mind.

"People of Earth, you have finally arrived..."

"Are you the one chosen by the Four Horsemen?"

"Ling, are you still there?"

Their voices, whether clear, deep, gentle, or cold, all carried the power accumulated over millions of years, like echoes from the depths of the starry sea.

Ling's real name is Zero, which is the beginning of all things and also the end of all things.

As a combat entity created with the highest technology of the Ishtar race, she is a collection of a large amount of ether, allowed to exist by the Creator, and the highest-level Ishtar life form created by the Ishtar race.

Indeed, as the most powerful race in the universe, the Ihen race can create life of the same level.

The Four Knights represent their collective strong will and are also their guardians.

Therefore, the Silver Moon Throne members were naturally curious about what kind of being Ling had gained their approval.

Facing these powerful beings who have existed for billions of years, Zhang Yi dared not conceal anything.

He made Yang Xinxin appear in front of everyone and explain the whole story.

After all, there were only three people who were recognized by the Four Knights.

Yang Xinxin, on the other hand, has gained the approval of both knights.

After hearing the whole story, the Silver Thrones remained expressionless.

The collective ascension of the Tianyu Palace was merely expected.

However, those people have different beliefs from them; they are unwilling to abandon themselves and return to the etheric world.

A short-haired Silver Throne looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I sense her presence from you. Could you make her appear and meet us?"

Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the person the other party was referring to was Ling.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and took out Ling's human form.

It was the body of a flawless young girl, quietly radiating a faint glow, like a silent moon, her eyes cold yet carrying an indelible aura.

The moment Ling appeared, she calmly met the gazes of the twelve Silver Thrones.

She looked at the Silver Throne as the Silver Throne looked at Zhang Yi.

As the supreme being of the Ihen race, even if only a shell remains, the human form possessing Ling's complete memories can still look down upon these newcomers.

The twelve thrones resonated intensely in an instant, the entire silver crystal world trembled violently, and endless moonlight surged like a tide, reflecting on Na Ling's human form.

"It really was her..."

"The flame of Tianyu Palace... has actually fallen to this state..."

"The wheel of fate has rolled this far; the cowardice of the conservatives has only delayed the destruction!"

The voices of several silver goddesses were tinged with sighs and coldness. Some of them were filled with emotion, as if recalling the glory of the Heavenly Palace standing tall billions of years ago.

Others coldly criticized, their words sharp and cutting, directly pointing to the conservative Ehen tribe's retreat and weakness.

They believe that their shirking of their original responsibilities has led the universe to the brink of irreversible collapse.

When facing Ling, they could no longer maintain their composure, and their questions seemed to be venting their inner dissatisfaction.

They couldn't understand why the powerful, god-like Ihen Clan would end up like this!

Extinction! Yes, extinction!

Returning to the Aether would mean erasing the entire Ephemeral race, which they find hard to accept!

Ling looked at them, but her face remained expressionless.

They're just a bunch of kids.

Zhang Yi listened quietly, his eyes deep. He knew this was a rare opportunity for him, so he asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesties, I want to know—where is this world headed?"

"I don't aspire to save the universe, nor do I want to bear the fate of all humanity. I simply hope that I and the people around me can live peacefully and happily under this sky."

His voice was strong and his tone was frank, without any concealment.

He is not a saint; he has no intention of sacrificing everything for strangers.

All he sought was peace and tranquility for himself and his loved ones.

There was silence.

The short-haired Silver Queen chuckled softly.

Didn't she tell you?

She spoke to Zhang Yi, but her gaze was clearly fixed on Ling.

Zhang Yi had certainly asked Ling about this matter.

He said helplessly, "The person you see before you has all of Ling's memories, but she is ultimately not the original."

The meaning is clear: she doesn't possess the same powerful abilities as Ling, such as the ability to foresee the future.

Moreover, Tianyu Palace has sealed itself off, and they haven't observed the outside world for a long time, so of course they know nothing about it.

Finally, a silver queen sitting at the highest point slowly opened her eyes. They were pupils like a collection of stars, deep and unfathomable, as if they could pierce through Zhang Yi.

She spoke, her voice deep and resonant, carrying a solemnity that transcended all else:

"This era may be the greatest catastrophe since the birth of the universe. Fate has come to an end, the demons are awakening one by one, and the protective rules left by the creator will gradually dissipate. At that time, heaven and earth will collapse, stars will fall, and no one knows what will happen in the end."

Her tone was heavy, but there was no falsehood in it: "Even we, the Ihen people who came from the path of ascension, may not be able to survive."

Zhang Yi held his breath, his eyes suddenly narrowing.

The Silver Queen continued, "Only one thing is certain. Only by constantly becoming stronger can one have a chance of survival. The weak will be crushed by fate; the strong may be able to escape by chance. There is no other way..."

Her words, like a divine pronouncement, resounded throughout the entire underground world of Silver Crystal.

Zhang Yi remained silent for a long time, then slowly clenched his fist.

He wasn't afraid of destruction, but he knew he had to keep getting stronger for the sake of those around him.

Even if the entire universe collapses, he will continue to live on the ruins with his loved ones.

The silvery glow of the moon shone on him, stretching his shadow to an incredibly long length.
