at the same time!

North of the northern border lies a stark contrast to the tumultuous battles in the South China Sea.

This is a pure, frozen world, a vast and desolate landscape of ice stretching for thousands of miles and utter silence.

The world was a blanket of white, and even the wind carried a biting chill.

It felt like being cut by a knife when scraped on the face.

The distant mountains were covered with thick ice and snow, their outlines blurred, as if they had merged into the sky and earth.

The ground was covered with several meters of solid ice, cracked with countless tiny lines.

Occasionally, a cold wind would sweep through, swirling up snowflakes that danced across the frozen wasteland, making even the air seem frozen solid.

The white mist exhaled with each breath instantly condensed into tiny ice particles, landing on the lapel and freezing in an instant.

There were no roars of battle, no flashes of magic.

Only the howling of the cold wind could be heard; the whole world was eerily quiet.

Only the crisp, cold air of ice and snow permeated every corner, as if time itself had stood still.

Leaving the newly demarcated northern border of the Great Xia Dynasty, traveling 35,000 li northwards leads to the northernmost edge of the Northern Frontier Blood Beast Empire's territory.

This land spans the northern part of Great Xia and the Far East region of White Goose. The land is exceptionally fertile, but the frozen soil allows only some ice and fire attribute resources to thrive.

Despite the frigid climate, the low-level spiritual creatures produced here are unparalleled in other parts of the same dimension.

Previously, this place undoubtedly belonged to the Blood Beast race.

But now...

Continuing north, beyond the border of the Blood Beast Empire, lies the far north.

That place is a frozen wasteland, shrouded in polar night and blizzards year-round.

The temperature is so low that it can freeze magic, and only the most cold-resistant demons and a few natives can survive here.

To the east of the Northern Frontier Blood Beast Empire and the Far North Kingdom lie some border towns of the White Goose, as well as two small countries on the peninsula.

The two countries nestle on the peninsula, shaped like two willow leaves closely intertwined, long and winding, with one side bordering the sea and the other connected to the border town of Bai'e.

Furthermore, because they belonged to the Dragon Kingdom decades ago, there are quite a few Chinese people in the peripheral towns, and they even make up the majority.

The climate here is slightly different from that of the heart of northern Xinjiang; although still cold, it has a more maritime feel. ,

Winters are characterized by heavy snowfalls, while summers are short and cool.

The local customs and traditions combine the characteristics of both white geese and peninsulas. The residents mostly make a living through hunting and fishing, and are known for their forthright and fierce personalities, as well as their expertise in ice magic and close combat.

They are usually kind and honest with each other, but because they deal with demons and zombies all year round, they have become more vigilant and ruthless.

.........

Currently, Chu Ming's true form has not gone to the South China Sea battlefield.

Instead, it appeared quietly in a small place on this northern frontier – Gaoling County (within the territory of Daxia).

Gaoling County is not a large place, but it has a long history.

Legend has it that this place was a military fortress on the northern border in ancient times, where the Great Wall was once "joined" again.

Because of its location on a major transportation route, it was a place where troops were stationed year-round, and over time, villages and towns were formed.

The name Gaoling means "to rest easy and protect the imperial tombs".

It is situated on a high hill between two towering mountains, in a strategically important location.

It borders the Blood Beast Empire on one side and connects to the border town of White Goose on the other.

It is a vital route connecting the northern frontier with the outside world, and also a secret stronghold of the Great Xia in the northern frontier.

The town is small, with a small permanent population of only two or three hundred thousand.

Most of them were mages, mercenaries, and retired soldiers, as well as merchants who made a living in that order.

It is quiet and peaceful on ordinary days, but it also has a lot of life in it. You can always hear neighbors chatting in the streets and alleys, which tells the unique stories of the town.

"Hey, have you heard? Old Wang's son has already given out the betrothal gifts, but the bride has run away!" In the tavern on the street corner, a bearded man held a wine glass, his tone full of sighs.

Another man next to him put down his wine glass and scoffed, "How come I've never heard of it!"

The bride was unlucky. She was just an ordinary girl, but after being injected with a serum from the Star Moon Fox, she unexpectedly reverted to her ancestral form!

That's a mythical beast!

The girl felt she was no ordinary person anymore, so she immediately called off the engagement!

Fortunately, the couple publicly vowed to return ten times the bride price within five years!

This didn't mean the Wang family's efforts were in vain; on the contrary, they became rich in a different way!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose from nearby.

A woman stood with her hands on her hips and shouted at the entrance of the Jiujiu Massage Parlor: "You heartless bastard!"

How dare they sneak off to wash their feet!

Want a technician?

Our little waiter doesn't even have enough money to buy spirit seeds!

You... I'll break your legs!

Immediately afterwards, a man with a very embarrassed look on his face ran out of the tavern.

While running, he argued, "I was just tired, I was just washing my feet to relax, that's all."

Don't be unreasonable!

The woman chased after him relentlessly, and the street instantly became lively, attracting passersby to stop and watch, laughing and discussing.

Stop laughing, let's talk seriously.

A few days ago, the Falcon Mercenary Group from our town went to the Erqi Defense Line on the North-South Korean border for training.

"I heard there are South Korean zombies over there, it's very dangerous!" A young man in a mercenary uniform said in a serious tone.

"That's right!" someone chimed in. "Fifteen people went, and only seven came back."

But it was worth it, considering the seven who came back.

They all broke through to become high-level mages.

Their strength has increased dramatically; they're now celebrities in our town!

"And that big tengu, do you know about it?"

"That's the eldest son of the richest family in Gaoling Mountain who lived there for years; he died a few days ago!"

"I know, I know. I heard it willingly allowed itself to be refined into a black beast demon by the class beauty!"

After being refined, it directly became a commander-level Bone-like Beast Demon.

I heard he's been assigned to guard the shadow beneath the feet of the class beauty!

"This truly means being able to spend a lifetime with your beloved..."

"........."

The street chatter rises and falls, revealing the everyday life and gossip of Gaoling County.

Chu Ming, meanwhile, was eating a sesame seed cake at a mutton soup restaurant, quietly listening to the idle chatter of the common people.

His gaze, however, would occasionally drift towards the two towering mountains behind the town—that was their destination.

One of the secret research bases of the Great Xia in the northern border region.

The Gaoling Mountain base is hidden deep within the Gaoling Mountain.

It is surrounded by layers of ice-covered mountains (of high altitude).

The outer perimeter was covered with invisible magical barriers and technological monitoring equipment.

The defenses are so tight that even if an ordinary person gets within a kilometer, they will be detected instantly.

The main guard force of the base is the Black Knight Legion, a group of steel warriors directly under Chu Ming's command.

These black knights were covered in thick Starlight Type 3 Star Iron Armor, which was engraved with defensive runes and energy patterns.

The embedding of the anti-gravity module (developed by Gao Yue'er) gives all the Steel Warriors the ability to fly and fight.

Holding a massive battle blade, his eyes were cold, like an emotionless war machine.

They were stationed neatly and uniformly in every corner of the base.

Whether in the air, on the ground, or underground, the Black Knights are everywhere; not even a fly can get in.

In addition, a powerful forbidden spell user is stationed at the base.

This forbidden spellcaster, surrounded by chilling ice and dark magic, has been stationed year-round in the core area of ​​the base.

Responsible for protecting the base's security and deterring any forces attempting to spy on or attack it.

With him around, even if a demon of the emperor level were to attack rashly, it could be stopped instantly.

At this moment, inside the core research room of the base, the lights were on, the atmosphere was solemn yet filled with undisguised joy.

Of the less than 100 top-level researchers in the Great Xia Dynasty, those gathered here include Gao Yue'er from Gao Shangshu's faction.

Professor Ella of the Hydra faction,

Also included are Simmons and Leopold Fitz, both from the old S.H.I.E.L.D. and now affiliated with Hill's faction.

They each led a large research team.

After countless experiments, with the assistance of Luo Shen, they finally made another breakthrough in the technology of collecting and using dark matter and dark energy, achieving a historic breakthrough.

The most crucial aspect of this breakthrough is the mass production and large-scale collection of dark matter and dark energy.

Leveraging the base's unique environment and the transcendent power of the high-level mage, the research team successfully developed highly efficient data collection equipment.

It can rapidly collect dark matter and dark energy from the universe and cosmic rays.

To achieve large-scale mass production,

This completely solves the previous problem of the scarcity and difficulty in collecting dark matter and dark energy.

This led to a series of weapons and equipment based on dark matter and dark energy.

Right now, trial versions of them are being displayed in the research lab:

The dark energy engine, though small in size, provides far more power and longer operating time than the cold fusion engine, and can be used in warships, Iron Warrior mechs, and teleportation arrays.

Once activated, it can increase the average energy output by more than three thousand times, while the standby time is predicted to reach 1 hours.

Dark energy shield, extremely strong defensive capabilities.

If it's a purely energy attack or a physical attack, it can withstand a full-force blow from an Emperor-level demon.

Even forbidden spell attacks can withstand multiple hits without shattering, and can cover an entire base or a large warship.

However, the rules and domain power inherent in the moves of commander-level demons or high-level mages will have an annihilating effect on the dark energy shield.

Dark matter bombs come in three versions: small for individual soldiers, medium for mechs, fighters, and warships, and large for destroying planets.

A small dark matter bomb could easily destroy a building and nearby office buildings, underground parking lots, and air-raid shelters.

The medium-sized one can severely damage a leader-level demon, and it leaves little residue after the explosion, with minimal impact on the environment.

..........

Looking back at the Great Xia's energy system today, it has become increasingly sophisticated, and its diversity has been greatly expanded.

In the field of technology, the most widely used and equipped technologies are cold fusion (most commonly used in the Iron Warrior series), thermonuclear fusion, and magic stone mine power generation.

It provides stable energy support for warships, bases, and civilian facilities;

In the realm of magic, there are various crystal energy batteries that rely on magic crystals of different attributes to provide energy for mages' equipment and magical items, making them convenient and efficient.

At the high-end level, there are various divine objects, such as the Fire Spirit Orb, the Water Spirit Orb, the Core of the Earth, and the Six Divine Eyes.

These divine objects not only contain immense primordial energy but also enhance the power of laws, making them one of the most core foundations of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared to a single, endless energy source, the Great Xia's energy system now combines accessibility, convenience, and high-end features.

Whether it's the daily training of an ordinary mage or the output of combat power on the battlefield,

The operation of the base and the grand formation can both find corresponding energy support, which is an important reason for the rapid rise of the Great Xia and its strong foundation.

One more thing: among the many divine artifacts, the ownership of the six divine eyes is of great interest.

The Eye of the Tide is clearly in the hands of the Cold Moon-Eyed Demon God, and is a crucial support for her ability to possess the combat power of a Great Emperor.

The ability to control the laws of the tides is also one of the keys to Leng Yuemou Demon God becoming the top leader of the sea monsters;

The ownership of the Eye of the Ocean remains unclear.

Some intelligence suggests that it, along with the Eye of the Tide, is controlled by the Cold Moon Eye Demon God, serving as an auxiliary ability to empower herself and all sea monsters;

Some say that the Eye of the Ocean is controlled by the Ocean Kingdom and is a symbol of the Ocean Kingdom's maintenance of rule and control over the seas, but there is still no definitive conclusion.

The Eye of Time and the Eye of Space had already been retrieved by Qin Cang, the eldest son of the Qin family, along with two members of the Forbidden Spell Society who possessed three forbidden spells, after Chu Ming arranged for them to go to the Time-Space Town together.

(Whether the world genuinely didn't know and the original protagonist had a special aura, or someone was setting a trap, in any case, three people with forbidden spells at the level of three-elemental forbidden spells, or even those with forbidden spells no weaker than four-elemental forbidden spells, went to retrieve it, and nothing happened!)

Now, the Eye of Time has been taken away by Fairy Snow Dance.

As the core of the formation, it is used to stabilize the spacetime order of the Ten Thousand Times Flowing Light Tower (in the same style as Chu Ming, it will not be hidden and will be used almost all the time due to the consumption).

The Eye of Space was left at the research institute.

On the one hand, dedicated research teams are conducting in-depth studies on it at all times, attempting to collect and decipher more of the mysteries of spatial laws;

On the other hand, it was also used to provide energy for the cultivation of mages within the Great Xia territory.

For example, the once rare "prayer stone" has been found to be something similar to coal after research.

Some ordinary plants and minerals that can enhance mental power are formed through complex spatial changes and temperature reactions.

And a certain energy from the Eye of Space acts like a catalyst... leading to the mass production of Mind Stones!

This is also one of the important reasons why the spiritual realm of the Great Xia mages has rapidly improved from the original level of less than 1st realm of high-level mages to the current level of 1st realm of mid-level mages and 2nd realm of high-level mages.

The Eye of the Vast Expanse is located deep within the Helan Mountains of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Originally the guardian eye of the insectoid race in Helan Mountain, it possessed the powerful ability to devour souls and control the earth.

Now it has also been retrieved by Chu Ming's people and is being used in conjunction with various Earth Essences for unlimited energy recharge;

Only the Eye of Life remains missing, with no clue whatsoever.
