Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534: A ‘Transaction’ with the Divine Being
The heavy city gate slowly opened in front of the woman, revealing the flying bridge that leads directly to the palace gate.
Warm white light poured down from the firmant, shining on her dress adorned with ice crystals, shimring with radiant colors.
Kela raised her hand, the snow-white light surrounded her fingertips, she gently lifted a finger, and the white dragon perched on her left shoulder imdiately approached, absorbing the glow into its body.
Then she raised her head to gaze at the flying bridge that arched across the sky like a rainbow, taking a slight breath.
She walked forward slowly.
——
He Ao stretched out his hand, watching the drifting snowflakes land in his palm and slowly lt.
But before the snowflakes completely lted, new densely fluttering snowflakes fell onto He Ao’s hand.
In an instant, his hand was covered with thick white snow.
A slight chill enveloped his skin, penetrating the marrow, but this chill wasn’t brought by the snowflakes; it was left by his Divine Sense covering through the Frozen Sea.
The coldness of that seawater is not simply a chill; it can even impact the body of an angel.
Yet He Ao had no ti to ponder this; he glanced at the swirling snowflakes surrounding him, turned back to look at the stormy snow barrier behind him, and took a deep breath.
He Ao was almost certain that the behind-the-scenes divine being surely had the capability to interfere with his thoughts from that connected sea area.
But near this stormy snow barrier might be where the interference from its projected power is minimal.
The reason He Ao judged this as simple.
Because it was near this stormy snow barrier where he sensed the completeness of special connections and entered the Trapped Destiny Plate.
Thus arose the events where the Pages of the Past Book could summon the power of the Historical Contract.
If He Ao were that behind-the-scenes divine being, under the circumstances of being able to interfere, surely he wouldn’t allow any accidents to happen.
Just like after He Ao entered this historical world, to so extent he forgot about the existence of the Trapped Destiny Plate and the Wheel of Stars.
Until he reached this stormy snow barrier, then relying on that special connection, he strongly desired to enter the Trapped Destiny Plate.
He Ao didn’t know the rationale within, but this region near the stormy snow barrier is likely the core area of the unknown entity that created this violent snowstorm.
This might just sowhat interfere with that behind-the-scenes divine being’s power.
But, in principle, the Frozen Sea is likely closer to that unknown entity but also nearer to the connection point of the behind-the-scenes divine being.
In this push and pull, ironically, this stormy snow barrier is where the coverage of the behind-the-scenes divine being’s power is weak.
Like a blade, the roaring fierce wind swept across He Ao’s cheeks as he gazed at the snowstorm ahead.
The eye embedded in the inverted triangle slowly outlined itself in the sky behind him.
Instantly, intricate lines spread on the Eye of Truth.
At the top of the firmant, atop the thick layers of clouds, as if pressed by so vast force, a gigantic wheel silhouette vaguely outlined, causing the chaotic snowstorm to pause montarily.
However, in the end, that vast force did not press down.
Indeed, the Wheel of Stars cannot be pulled into this historical world.
But He Ao’s intention wasn’t to draw the Wheel of Stars in.
Accompanying his movent, distorted lines already covered the Eye of Truth.
Along ca a mysterious and powerful force, that spread from the Wheel of Stars through the Eye of Truth.
With the tremor of the snowstorm, these forces quickly enveloped He Ao’s body.
At a certain mont, he seed to disappear from this world.
His body, his existence, his fate, were all concealed at this mont.
Even beside this stormy snow barrier, He Ao couldn’t determine if the behind-the-scenes divine being truly could not monitor him anymore.
After completing these actions, He Ao raised his hand, using the collected white snow to rub clean the blood stains on himself, and then took out the previously coagulated blood.
All the blood stains on his body gathered together, in his palm painting a complex and mystical giant tree pattern.
The pattern began to emit a gentle glow upon its formation.
The surrounding snowstorm seed to weaken significantly at this mont.
He Ao gazed at this pattern, taking a deep breath.
Hoarsely, he slowly spoke, “I have listened,”
An ancient and distant voice echoed in this dense snowstorm,
“Eternal nightfall barren serenity, only life shrieks and sings.”
With his words falling, the pattern in his hand suddenly brightened with radiant brilliance.
Whoosh—
Deep within the void, a faint sound seed to emanate.
The drifting snowflakes, now akin to real petals, slowly blossod.
And beneath He Ao’s feet, verdant green grass erged from the white snow, growing at a visible speed.
At the sa ti, an invisible connection linked to his soul.
The other end of this connection was a majestic and dense life Qi, representing the struggle and striving of life, reproduction and generation, the birth and growth of new lives.
This Qi was so dense that He Ao now wanted to have a child right there.
However, soon He Ao forcefully suppressed the pervasive twisted thoughts.
If he kept ‘thinking’ like this, he might soon feel his abdon bulging.
He attempted to sense the majestic dense life Qi, it was the Life Goddess, no doubt.
The Communication Array of the Life Goddess doesn’t require complex ritual items, only sufficiently strong Life Force.
Using his own angel’s blood was enough.
The Wheel of Stars’ power might temporarily conceal his fate and existence, but if he actively exposed them to certain entities, those entities would perceive him.
Simultaneously, this array’s success also confird He Ao’s hypothesis.
This historical world indeed can connect with other divine beings.
Though this ti, the feeling the Life Goddess gave him seed different compared to his previous contact.
He Ao took a deep breath, letting his consciousness touch that vast life power, “Life Goddess, let’s discuss a transaction.”
Almost at the mont his thoughts were conveyed, the previously silent snowstorm suddenly turned fierce.
Imdiately after, the heavy clouds shivered abruptly, as so vast terrifying gaze seed to penetrate countless tis and descends upon He Ao.
The gaze was icy and horrifying, conveying no consciousness, but rely falling upon He Ao allowed him to sense the express ‘attitude’.
It was an extre coldness, like a human facing an ant that intends to ‘trade’ with him.
Angel, was just a larger ant.
Upon the advent of this gaze, the array on He Ao’s hand illuminated even more brightly.
The connection between him and the divine being at this mont felt like a noose hanging around his neck, strangling his Life.
An invisible force trembled in the void, He Ao felt his vitality being drawn, visibly losing.
His skin quickly beca shriveled, and his hair began to turn gray.
He Ao didn’t say a word, the Eye of Truth in the sky lit up with radiant brilliance again.
Above the firmant, the vast silhouette of the Wheel of Stars slowly erges once again.
A mighty force is cast upon He Ao’s body, like a curtain descending from heaven, shielding He Ao’s body and obstructing the invisible force from draining He Ao’s life.
At the sa ti, this force tugs at He Ao’s soul, unbinding the ‘noose’ that encircles He Ao’s neck.
anwhile, the entire snow-covered land starts to tremble, as if so unseen world is manifesting, enveloping He Ao’s body, and causing the rules of the entire world to shiver slightly.
Simultaneously, He Ao sends the first word across: ‘Andaville’
The life power suffusing the void settles at this mont, refraining from further attacks and doesn’t disappear again.
Now, this divine being is willing to sit at the negotiating table, ‘patiently’ listening to He Ao’s ‘transaction content.’
He Ao knows it’s not that the Life Goddess has no ans against him anymore, but rather the force he has displayed that makes the Life Goddess think the cost of further confrontation is too high.
It requires crossing ti and space to manifest projections or even avatars.
Not everyone has the resolve akin to having a good friend.
But He Ao also knows this is an ordeal he must endure; without showing enough power, it’s impossible to gain enough bargaining chips in the negotiation.
He Ao feels the other side has cald down, takes a deep breath.
Though it feels sowhat unfamiliar, at least this Life Goddess is capable of ‘communication.’
Moreover, the other party is ‘interested’ in his ‘proposal.’

Bang——
Two solid ice soldiers stand before Kela as they slowly push open the tightly shut palace doors.
A glittering, magnificently prosperous hall slowly appears in her view.
Blocks of different styled ice form the walls and ceiling, scattering either clear or colorful brilliance under the sunlight, outlining the entire hall as grand and sacred.
Huge ice chandeliers hang high at the top of the hall, like flowers blooming in ice and snow, casting radiant light.
Under these ice chandeliers are door-like pillars supporting the grand ceiling and this luxurious hall.
Soldiers clad in ice armor now wield massive ice axes, standing before the pillars, like statues.
As the palace doors are pushed open, these statue-like soldiers slowly turn their heads to look at the opened palace doors.
A certain icy atmosphere emanates from their bodies.
Clank——
They raise their ice axes and swing towards Kela standing at the palace entrance.
The two solid ice soldiers who pushed the door imdiately stand straight, holding shield-swords, standing protectively before Kela.
A faint snow-white light drifts through the void, brushing past those ice axe soldiers.
Light frost instantly envelops those soldiers, freezing the entire troop.
But in the next instant, so unseen force seems to surge through the bodies of these soldiers, tearing away the frost enveloping them.
The ice axe soldiers regain their mobility, slowly approaching the palace.
Kela quietly watches all this, as the solid ice soldier standing in front of her raises his shield high.
Imdiately, one solid ice soldier after another materializes in the void, aligning in two rows, entering the palace to confront those ice axe soldiers.
An ice axe soldier raises an axe, shattering a solid ice soldier’s shield, breaking apart the solid ice soldier’s body, only to be pierced by two other solid ice soldiers, shattering abruptly.
In this chaotic battle, Kela gazes at the staircase in the depths of the hall, slowly moving forward, heading towards it.
Narrow rows of solid ice soldiers clear the way to her sides, creating a narrow passageway for her to pass through.
Soon, Kela arrives before the staircase.
And at that mont, an ice axe soldier abruptly dodges the attacks from solid ice soldiers, elegantly more agile than others, swinging the ice axe swiftly towards Kela.
The white little dragon perched on Kela’s shoulder imdiately lifts its head, its plump body montarily soaring in the air.
Kela raises her hand, signaling it not to act yet.
Then she lifts her head, watching the agile ice axe soldier charging at her.
A slight cold breeze blows over the soldier’s helt, causing cracks to grow on the helt like mistletoe.
Bang——
The ice helt shatters explosively.
A rough face, like a hunter in a snowy field, appears in Kela’s field of view.
Watching that face, Kela pauses slightly; she raises her hand, faint radiance emanating from her fingertips, falling on the ice axe soldier.
The soldier continues to charge without pausing, but his body lts rapidly, disintegrating into scattered ice crystals as he reaches Kela.
Kela slightly raises her hand, and a blurred shadow flies out from those ice crystals, landing on her fingertips, held in her palm.
Then she lifts her head, looking at the crystal-like, radiant ice staircase ahead, slowly lifting her step, heading upward.
——
Puff——
He Ao falls again into the snow, with goose-feather-like snowfall dropping from the sky, covering him.
Surrounding are green grasses sprouting from the white snow, stubbornly growing in the thick snow.
He Ao sits up from the snow, looking at the snowstorm barrier ahead.
Can he really summon the Wheel of Stars and the Trapped Destiny Plate? Actually, no.
If the Life Goddess had gone rigid earlier, truly absorbing him, he wouldn’t have any chance to fight back and would likely die here on the spot.
But that doesn’t stop him from bringing out the Wheel of Stars and the Trapped Destiny Plate to bolster presence.
To make that ‘divine being’ willing to sit down and ‘chat.’
Feeling the life power slowly flowing into his body, He Ao rubs his cheeks.
The Life Goddess returns the absorbed energy to him, even replenishes a bit more, allowing him to heal most of his previous injuries.
Though she’s harsh when unknown, she’s indeed willing to invest when needed.
This feels sowhat familiar now.
He Ao slowly stands, his body passing through the snowstorm barrier, the sound of rising sea waves again echoing in his ears.
He gazes at the unfrozen sea ahead, takes a slight breath.
The Eye of Truth hangs above his head, acting as a dium, transmitting the power of the Wheel of Stars, helping him conceal existence and fate.
The consumption of activating the Wheel of Stars is enormous, but here, he doesn’t dare easily dispel the power of the Wheel of Stars.
The location is too close to the sea connecting point.
He quietly watches the surging sea before him.
At this mont, within his body, along with the life force slowly flowing in, there exists another thing.
A piece of ‘Mysticism Knowledge,’ or rather, a ‘Divine Arts.’
Utilizing the mysticism connection, borrowing chaotic space-ti, quickly traverse ti-space gaps, arriving at the target site ‘knowledge.’
This thod can only be used in places with chaotic ti-space, and the chaotic space-ti must have very strong mystic connections with the target site.
