Chapter 1626 – Created the World

　　On the journey forward, Qin Yu hugged his wet clothes as well as a wet tree branch.

　　On the surface, the branch looked like it was in a trance and was emitting a very faint green light as it pointed out the direction for Qin Yu.

　　Without it, it would be extremely easy for Qin Yu to lose his way in this unending darkness with no directional indications.

　　An hour had pa.s.sed since Qin Yu had moved by himself.

　　The coldness in the darkness had increased by a third.

　　This was already very scary. The heat that his soul was emitting could no longer melt the frost quickly enough. The water froze to become ice. With every step that Qin Yu took, there was a soft cracking sound.

　　It was the thin ice around his body that was cracking, but to Qin Yu, it felt as if his bones and flesh were tearing.

　　It was hard to describe the feeling.

　　The soft green light from the tree branch grew dimmer and the speed at which it pulsed was now a lot slower. Frowning, Qin Yu touched the tree branch and his face grew paler.

　　By giving the branch some warmth, Qin Yu had to withstand more of the damage from the frost, and the ice layer on him grew thicker.

　　Following that, every step Qin Yu took brought him an even greater amount of pain when the ice layer cracked.

　　But this was necessary. If he lost the navigation from the tree branch, Qin Yu would not find the right ‘place’.

　　The matter of how important it was to find the right spot was emphasized earlier.

　　Crack –

　　Crack –

　　The cracking rhythm sounded through the darkness. Each and every step brought a bone-breaking pain that was equivalent to getting his bones sc.r.a.ped.

　　In front of him was pure darkness with no end in sight. This brought even more hopelessness than the pain he was feeling.

　　But having reached this point, it was not possible to turn back. They would either both live and leave this place together or he would die here and Rourou would remain sleeping. After she woke, she would still be that impressive and powerful mysterious being from s.p.a.ce time. She would merely lose a small fragment of her memories from her long life.

　　As he thought of this, Qin Yu bit his lip with determination in his eyes.

　　Two hours later, the tree branch in his arms seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. The thick ice covering it was stuck to Qin Yu and it would flash a green light every once in a while.

　　Qin Yu seemed to be wearing thick, heavy ice armor. The sound of the pieces of ice knocking against each other could be heard with every step.

　　His vision seemed to blacken slightly. This showed that his mind was on the verge of giving in, as if he could fall at any second.

　　However, this had happened multiple times but Qin Yu still pressed on. Albeit slower, but never stopping.

　　Another hour pa.s.sed and Qin Yu was completely covered in ice. He was like a moving ice cube. Only a soft ‘crack crack’ sound could be heard from inside the ice, showing that he was still alive. The speed at which he was progressing was very very slow. Often, he had to take several breaths before he could take a step.

　　‘Pa’, a soft sound could be heard amongst the ‘crack’ sounds. It was the tree branch in Qin Yu’s arms. It could no longer withstand the cold and it had frozen completely before disintegrating into powder.

　　“Why do you still want to go forwards? If it is because you think that you have nowhere else to go, I can give you another choice.” A calm voice could be heard. Qin Yu paused for a while, confirming that it was not his imagination.

　　“Who are you?”

　　“That is not important. What is important is that I can let you leave this place alive. You just have to take a different path.”

　　“Why?”

　　“Because I think you are an interesting being. It would be a waste for you to die here.”
