Chapter 1832
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

Adrian continued to contemplate the various possibilities, systematically piecing together the fragments of information in his mind. He first considered Mount Shangspar as a whole before searching for all kinds of possibilities through the fragments he had.Partingia was buried within Mount Shangspar, a mountain that had appeared out of nowhere. In other words, the people of Partingia could not have chosen where to be buried. This made its location nearly impossible to determine. If it were an ancient ruin, Adrian would have been able to locate it using his knowledge of geography and terrains. But this was no ancient ruin, which made determining its location difficult. He needed to find Partingia through the space he was in, but how was he to do that?Adrian pondered over the matter. Then a solution came to mind. It was the only plan he could come up with at the moment. He figured that by melting the ice covering the upper layers of the mountain, the ruins of Partingia could be une

After a while, Rozi replied, "This place is covered in snow. If there were trees and bushes everywhere, we could light this place up in flames and the ice would melt."Adrian chuckled, then suddenly said, "Hang on! What did you just say?"Rozi looked at Adrian in confusion. "I said, it’d be nice if there were trees and bushes around so that we could light this place up and melt the ice." As soon as Rozi said this, Adrian slapped his forehead. "That's a brilliant idea, Rozi! We don’t even need to rely on trees and fire to light this place up and find Partingia."Rozi raised an eyebrow as she stood up. "What are you talking about? How are we supposed to melt this snowy mountain?”"Let's get out of here through our original route first." The two exited the entrance and exited Sky Lake. Adrian then led Rozi to a hilltop. She had no idea what he was up to."What are you planning?"Adrian pointed to a distant mountain of ice and said, "See that ice structure? It's Mount Shangspar's

Rozi did not understand much about this, but since Adrian said there was a chance, it meant there was a chance. The pair then established their base near Sky Lake, which provided them with a source of food. They also set up a second temporary base in a cave near Sky Lake, and their main goal now was to search for clues in the vicinity while waiting for the volcano to erupt.Days passed, and the pair explored all possibilities in the area but could not find any clues or answers. Meanwhile, Deus remained quiet, while the cities throughout Navia continued to build up their ecosystems.Over a week went by in the blink of an eye.On the morning of the tenth day, Adrian and Rozi were having breakfast in their tent when a deafening roar erupted throughout Mount Shangspar and the whole mountain trembled. Feeling the tremors, the pair rushed out of the tent and saw Deus emitting billows of hot air. Adrian was certain that the volcano was on the brink of eruption."It's going to erupt soon
