Outside Of Time

900 Look, There’s Someone on That Nail? (1)

In the Moon Worship Region, there was no true sun. This place was dim all year round. Only during the three months when the heavenly fire crossing the sky phenomenon appeared would the entire Moon Worship Region emit a bright light.

However, that light represented death.

Not all races could adapt to such a living environment. Hence, as all living beings died and revived again, some powerful races gave birth to peerless talents.

They proposed the concept of an artificial sun and, due to the relative strength of their race and generations of reinforcements, they eventually raised their own race’s sun.

The light and heat didn’t spread very far and could only envelop the range of the race’s influence. Its might couldn’t be compared to the Sun of Dawn either. However, no matter what, being able to do this was enough to provide the race with great protection.

Such a race naturally had more divine envoys. Hence, every time the Crimson Goddess arrived, although the race would be destroyed, the sun would be left behind, leading to a faster recovery and development.

This cycle would continue to repeat. Over the countless years, there were a total of nine races in the Moon Worship Region who created artificial suns. Due to some accidents, three of them were extinguished and there were six left.

The artificial sun of the Lone Sun Race was one of these six and was also the last one to be created. It was said that during its construction, a mysterious figure assisted them.

A few months ago, the sun in the sky above their territory had mysteriously disappeared. The entire process was extremely abrupt. Their tight security and heavy protective measures were useless against it.

It was as though the sun had hidden itself.

Right now, that sun appeared in the sky of the fragment of the great world.

“Those few old farts from the Lone Sun Race back then borrowed my thing but didn’t return it. Hmph, they don’t know that I did this on purpose.” The captain looked at the sun in the distance, feeling extremely satisfied.

“They helped me raise it quite well.”

The sun released by the captain shone with dazzling light and heat, causing the world to seem to have entered a hot summer.

The temperature instantly rose, and the heat continued to increase. In just over ten breaths, the heat emitted from the sun was incredibly intense.

Mist emanated from the ice layer, and this unmelting glacier showed signs of melting.

However, it was obvious that compared to the glaciers in the entire great world fragment, an artificial sun wasn’t enough to melt all of them. This was also the reason why the captain had come to this ice peak.

“Just melting this area is enough!” The captain’s eyes revealed a bright glint. He waved his hands at the sky and shouted.

“Little Dumpling, here, here, shine here.”

The sun in the sky suddenly trembled and the scattered light and heat started gathering in one place. The light left a trail of intense melting on its way.

Finally, all the light and heat gathered on the ice mountain where the captain was.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu knew the might of the sun, so they had long left. As for the captain, his hair and brows instantly burned, making him look very strange.

However, he didn’t care at all. His clothes were unharmed and his expression revealed comfort.

“It was cold earlier, but it feels much warmer now.”

As for the ice mountain under his feet, after the heat and light gathered, it began to melt. Before the black ice water could flow, it directly turned into fog.

The tall ice peak could be seen shrinking with the naked eye. Very soon, a thousand-foot-long hole was revealed in the mountain. Fog continued to rise from it, and the depth continued to increase as it melted down. Waves of ancient aura also spread out as the ice layer dissolved.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu’s hearts skipped a beat. A resounding sound echoed from the hole in the ice.

At this moment, the black ice directly melted to the bottom!

It revealed the true land that had never revealed itself in this world for countless years.

However, compared to the black glaciers in the entire world, this thousand-foot-long hole was like a needle hole, and the cold air from the surroundings showed signs of freezing it again.

The captain didn’t care about these. At this moment, his expression was excited as he quickly lowered his head to take a look.

With the help of the sunlight, the ground in the depths of the thousand-foot-long ice cave became extremely clear. One could see orderly blood-red gullies on the black soil.

These gullies were densely arranged together, resembling a part of a massive fingerprint!

It was as though a supreme existence’s palm had once landed on the ground of this great world, destroying all living beings and leaving behind its blood-red palm patterns.

And the pattern here was only a corner of one of his finger patterns.

“Big Jianjian, Little Ningning, quick, take out my treasure skin!”

After the captain confirmed that there was no mistake, he shouted and controlled the sun with all his might, emitting even more heat to stop the hole from closing up.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu didn’t dare to be negligent. They had been paying full attention the entire time. When they heard this, they didn’t hesitate at all. Ning Yan waved his hand and took out a piece of light yellow skin.

This skin wasn’t small. When it was spread out, it was the size of dozens of people. It was rectangular in shape and there were many traces of stitching on it.

As for the origin of the skin, because it had been repaired perfectly, it was difficult to tell.

Wu Jianwu also hurriedly grabbed the skin together with Ning Yan. The two of them stretched out this piece of skin, facing the hole beneath the ice layer.

“Haha, the more I look at this treasure skin, the better it looks.” The captain was beaming with joy and his eyes were burning with excitement.
