Chapter 1829
Adrian and Rozi went off on the bus. He had no plans to look for the girl or the Timewinder for now as he did not know where they were. He had to locate the eagle artifact first if he wanted to proceed further.The location of the artifact was clear—Mount Shangspar.***Time passed by quickly. While on the way to Mount Shangspar, Adrian could see the Evercrest soldiers fighting valiantly far away on their way to Geras. Thousands of civilians were gathered on the street, witnessing the signs of the battle that had lasted for seven days. The Evercrest soldiers had no idea how much longer they would last, nor were they aware of how many of their comrades had died in action. Yet, none of them had any intention of stopping. The train tracks across the distance had been cleaned up, and the Geras soldiers were defending them as they waited for the train to arrive. They were exhausted and the civilians had starved for three days. They were waiting for their food rations to arrive. Rattl

On this day, hundreds of thousands of civilians quietly stood on the top of tall buildings, watching the approaching train. It was carrying countless bodies of fallen soldiers, their bloods dripping off the carriages as it sped into the city.The Evercrest soldiers had sacrificed themselves so that a million tons of food could be delivered to Geras. The moment their mission would be completed was almost at hand.A deep silence fell over Geras City. All of its citizens were weeping uncontrollably.As the soldiers too cried their hearts out, Juan yelled through his own tears, "Stop the train!" Rattle, rattle, rattle!The soldiers started pulling at the train and its carriages, which finally came to a halt after half an hour. Juan and his men then opened up the carriages and found the food supplies intact. However, everything had been dyed red by the blood of their comrades. Sage, covered in blood, trembled as she walked toward the trains and shouted, "Save them!"The soldiers le

The eerie laughter sounded like it was provoking Sage, mocking her even. As she clenched her fists that were stained with blood, Sage came to terms that she was not fighting for herself. She was fighting for the hundred thousand fallen soldiers!***Navia was not the only country to be hit by the reset. The entire world had been affected. Only half of the world’s population remained, a testament to the extent of the Creator's powers.Mount Shangspar was a snowy mountain located in a far southern region, a place considered to be no man's land since it did not belong to any country. On top of that, it was the coldest place in the world.Partingia was once located where Mount Shangspar now stood. The mountain had just appeared one day, but there were no records of such an event happening throughout history. However, one thing was for sure.Partingia was frozen within the snowy mountains, and the ancient kingdom was now Adrian's destination.Adrian and Rozi reached the borders of M

All of that was now gone. To Rozi's surprise, there were no monsters to be found in Mount Shangspar."I don't see any monsters around, so it's possible this place is different. I don't think we'll be able to return in a month and a half," Rozi said as she steeled herself."In that case, we have to find the various country’s bases built throughout the mountain. They may have food stored inside if these bases are still standing," Adrian said.After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Let's go."Rozi nodded and reached out her hand to Adrian.Holding each other’s hands, they entered the mountain.The harsh environment here was unpredictable, and neither of them could foresee what the weather was going to be like in the next moment. The pair ventured deep into the mountain, and the biting cold began to set in. The landscape was an enormous, snowy expanse, and they did not say a word as they climbed the mountain all the way till noon.Neither of them knew how far or how long they had

"Yes, water." Adrian took a deep breath and continued, "All we need to do is find a water source and follow where it flows toward. I'm sure we'll find something mysterious if we do so. It’ll be proof that there’s an underground somewhere."Let's keep going. We have to travel for another hundred kilometers to where a Navian base is. There's a lake named Sky Lake nearby that houses a Navian scientific region. There are many animals that breed there."Rozi did not object to this plan, knowing that following Adrian would be the right choice. She had developed a deep admiration for him after all that had happened. ***In the following days, the pair searched for Sky Lake within Mount Shangspar. Adrian's unique training and extraordinary physique made the harsh conditions of the snowy mountains bearable. Rozi had undergone mutations, enabling her to adapt better to the mountain's environment. The two of them continued their journey without rest, with only short breaks since time was n

The rest of the world had been rese, yet, based on the existence of the animals at Sky Lake, it was clear the place had not been met with disaster. "It's probably for the same reason as Mount Gremont palace, or maybe it’s something even more powerful than that. The Creator probably couldn't reset this place because Wonder is protecting it.""Maybe it’s the eagle artifact?" "Yes, that's very possible. That's probably why the animals here haven't been affected. But even though everything looks fine now although the sun is blocked, they'll need the sun in the long run, as do all living beings.""At least this means we're on the right track.""Indeed, we are. The artifact is probably here somewhere, so what we need to do now is find a way to get underground.""Let's hope we find it.” Adrian and Rozi descended toward the Sky Lake.Snow leopards watched them from a distance, while various birds Rozi had never seen before hunted along the lake's edge. Fish occasionally leaped from

"Why thirty years?" Rozi asked, puzzled by Adrian's statement.Adrian shrugged and did not answer.The night got darker. Adrian stood watch as Rozi took a nap in the tent. After a few hours, they traded places, and Rozi stood guard till the next morning. Although the sky was covered in shadow, some sunlight managed to pierce through, providing some light to Mount Shangspar.After a simple breakfast, Adrian packed up the tent before the pair approached the lake.Rozi asked, "Where should we go? Where's the water flowing?"Adrian pointed in a direction and said, “I noticed the water flowing in that direction while I was catching fish yesterday. We should be able to find the entrance if we follow the stream. Let's use the tidal waves while we still have them or we'll never find out where Partingia is buried."Rozi did not fully understand tides, but she was eager to find Partingia as quickly as possible.Adrian jumped onto a chunk of floating ice and used it as an improvised raft.

The cavern was covered in ice, with water constantly seeping through the surrounding cracks. The water would then freeze due to the sub-zero conditions here. The place was exceptionally large, with a passage extending deep into the distance. The reflective ice made the cavern look like a natural mirror. "It's beautiful…" Rozi murmured.Adrian observed their surroundings and said, "This place must’ve been much larger before. Water seeped in and turned into ice that filled up this place. My guess is that this cavern would be completely covered with ice if we came here a few years later.""Are you saying we're standing on water?""Yes, it's all water that's been frozen into ice. Water can make its way through literally anything as long as there are cracks. The water here froze when they got in, hence the state of this place. This cavern is akin to a living entity that's continuously growing. The water accumulates and the ice thickens, slowly filling up the cave until it's gone.""It
