The sun slowly sank toward the western horizon. Today, the daylight seemed exceptionally long. When people describe approaching difficulties, they always say "the long night is coming," but the Flame Realm proves that overly lengthy, hot, and dry days are also a disaster. So, whether it's a long night or a long day, perhaps the real issue isn't day and night, but "longness."
Whoosh—! A small object, after a long fall, finally landed with a heavy "thud" on the ruins of the Scholar's Fortress.
It was a gemstone.
The whole gem exuded a biting cold aura.
Perhaps because the impact from the fall was too great, or perhaps because it had already been damaged by some stronger force before falling.
A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the gemstone.
An immense amount of extreme cold energy immediately gushed out from that tiny crack, freezing the entire Scholar's Fortress in an instant.
A figure silently emerged from the cold aura.
