Chen Tian looked at Chi Hong before him. Chi Hong also spoke slowly, "I have no ill intentions. There is something I hope you can help us with."
As soon as Chi Hong finished speaking, an electronic interface appeared before Chen Tian. He looked at it and was surprised. It was an SSSS-level mission, a death-level mission, but there were no specific details, so Chen Tian didn't know what it was. There were only "yes" and "no" options. Chen Tian fell into thought, wondering whether to accept the mission or not.
He then hesitated. Seeing Chen Tian's hesitation, Chi Hong spoke, "After you help us, we can give you additional rewards. What do you say?"
Chen Tian looked at Chi Hong and sensed that the other party might genuinely need help. He then clicked "yes." Instantly, Chi Hong spoke slowly, "Congratulations, you have become the first Savior. Now, I will explain your mission."
"Savior, your mission is to spread hope and drown despair. You must become the last hope in the hearts of humanity."
"Ding!"
An interface appeared before Chen Tian again, but this time Chen Tian was confused. A Savior mission, yet his own mission had not refreshed!
Chen Tian then looked at the interface before him. My goodness, it was a phased mission. This was a mission belonging to the Adventurer mode. Chen Tian hadn't expected to trigger such a phased mission.
Regarding phased missions, he had completed one before, which was Wu Que Nan's mission. Chen Tian didn't expect to trigger this type of mission again.
Then Chen Tian nodded slightly and said, "What are the specific details?"
Chi Hong shook his head in response to Chen Tian's question. "Before that, let me tell you a story. In ancient times, countless gods existed in this world. One of these gods once possessed the power of ice and fire and created his own prosperous era."
"During the war of the gods, the battles between deities triggered world changes and also led to world rifts. This Ice and Fire God was divided into eight parts during this campaign. Each part possessed independent consciousness and declared itself a god."
"Two of these parts chose to merge and combine to guard a certain area. At the same time, these two parts also sealed the factors of world change. It is precisely because of this that this world was not destroyed."
"Savior, after my words, you should know who I am referring to, right!"
Chi Hong looked at Chen Tian with determination. Chen Tian nodded and said, "Are you two referring to yourselves, Xue Bing, and yourself?"
"Yes, Xue Bing and I chose to live incognito here. We then merged and combined, and this Frostfire Valley was born. We then comprehended derivative abilities through our own understanding. Here, each of us represents a race."
"At the same time, there is a seal beneath this Frostfire Valley, caused by the rifts from the ancient war of gods, which was sealed here. Savior, you need to grow stronger as soon as possible. The seal can only be opened with the primal power of the eight parts."
"Your mission is to find the primal power of the eight parts within the next thousand years. No, to be precise, it is the primal power of the remaining six parts. You can obtain Xue Bing's and my primal power after passing our trial."
"The Ice and Fire God transformed into eight parts. There are now six parts operating independently. You need to slowly find them."
"Do you willingly accept this mission, the mission to save the world?"
A panel appeared before Chen Tian. Without hesitation, he clicked "yes."
Then Chi Hong said with concern, "Savior, when you are on your mission to find the primal power, be sure to be wary of external beings and energies. They will do their best to prevent you from entering the seal."
Then the entire void returned to normal. Xue Bing ran to Chi Hong's side, saying with self-reproach, "I'm sorry, Chi Hong. I was a bit impulsive."
"I don't blame you. I understand your personality. Alright, let's prepare for that now! We need to send him in."
As soon as Chi Hong finished speaking, Xue Bing was surprised. Chi Hong had actually chosen this human as the Savior?
Perhaps seeing Xue Bing's confusion, Chi Hong whispered in her ear, "He is *that* one!"
With those simple words, Xue Bing's gaze towards Chen Tian instantly filled with respect. Then she tiptoed away. Chen Tian hadn't heard their conversation. Their dialogue seemed to be telepathic, as their lips hadn't moved. Chen Tian thought they were communicating in riddles.
Then Chi Hong looked at Chen Tian and said, "Please wait a moment. Xue Bing and I will soon open the trial path. Upon passing the trial, you will obtain our primal powers. The primal powers of the other six will need to be found by yourself."
Chen Tian directly asked a crucial question, "How should I go about finding them, or are there any characteristics?"
It was better to ask first before searching aimlessly. This was Chen Tian's way of doing things. Chi Hong replied, "I don't know the specifics, but the other six parts have varying unique insights into the power of water and fire elements. Moreover, their minimum strength limit is that of a deity. Xue Bing and I had to drop to the Emperor level due to the seal. The primal power of the other six should not have left their bodies yet, and their strength should have reached the deity level."
"But I'm not sure, because each part's primal power is different, and their appearances are also different. It could be a person, an item, or a living being, flowers, or grass. It depends on you to find them, but they all share one common characteristic: their understanding of water and fire elements is very high."
Listening to Chi Hong's words, Chen Tian suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you know the Fire God and the Water God?"
"Those two! You could say they are also one of the six parts. They are merely branches of the primal power, beings split from the primal power. They should have primal power supporting them from behind. You could say the primal power created the Fire God and Water God, and the Fire and Water Gods created two races, the Water Spirit race and the Fire Spirit race."
"Chi Hong, everything is ready here!"
Xue Bing's voice sounded in Chi Hong's ear. Chi Hong then said, "Let's go! Your trial is about to begin."
Then, led by Chen Tian and Chi Hong, they arrived at the central area of Frostfire Valley. On the left side of the central area was ice, and on the right side was fire, while the three of them stood between the ice and fire.
Chi Hong then said meaningfully, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have the Elemental God Body, right? The fire and water elements are not yet sufficient. This trial can help you improve. How much you improve depends on yourself. This is the greatest reward."
Chen Tian didn't quite understand. It was just a trial, and his Elemental God Body had already reached its limit. How could it improve? The 300% increase was the upper limit of the Elemental God Body, which was impossible to surpass, as it was the setting of the Elemental God Body.
Then, in the central area of Frostfire Valley, an altar appeared. On the left was an ice-blue disc, and on the right was a fiery red disc placed on the ground on either side.
Then Chi Hong and Xue Bing nodded. Chi Hong went to the ice-blue disc, while Xue Bing went to the fiery red disc. Both of them sat down cross-legged simultaneously.
They sat on the discs, and then streams of energy and airflow began to emanate from their bodies. The discs also emitted airflow. On Chi Hong's side, ice-blue and fiery red airflow continuously merged. On Xue Bing's side, fiery red and yellow airflow merged. Then, both of them extended their arms, facing each other, and the airflow from their bodies continuously flowed towards each other. Their faces showed sweat, and they appeared to be struggling.
With their guidance, the two streams of mixed airflow collided, instantly generating an energy reaction that was very intense. The two individuals wholeheartedly controlled the commotion of these two energies. When the commotion of both energies stabilized, Chi Hong and Xue Bing opened their eyes, spread their palms, and instantly a yellow-red starry vortex appeared between them.
Then Chi Hong and Xue Bing weakly said, "Go in! The trial is inside. If you pass the trial, you will obtain our primal powers!"
Chen Tian looked at the yellow-red starry vortex before him and stepped into it. Instantly, the vortex closed.
The moment the vortex closed, Chi Hong and Xue Bing's bodies slowly transformed into starlight and floated towards each other. Chi Hong smiled and said, "This day has arrived earlier than expected. Humanity still has hope, and this world still has hope."
"Interesting little fellow, let's witness his growth together!"
Then their starlight converged to form a single figure, a figure obscured by mist appeared above Frostfire Valley. Instantly, the entire Frostfire Valley seemed to disappear, as if it had never existed. Even the players within the Chrono Epoch were unaware of the existence of Frostfire Valley, as if there was no such region on the map. Chen Tian, who had entered the vortex, didn't realize that this time he was truly approaching the truth of the game.
A black moon hung in the sky, red obscured the heavens, the ground was cracked, and the city was desolate. A vortex slowly appeared in the sky above the city, and instantly a figure appeared in the sky above the city.
Chen Tian looked at the scene before him, finding it very bizarre and confusing. What was the trial? Why hadn't the panel appeared this time?
Could it be like the trial of Ice Heart Frostfire, where he needed to explore on his own?
Chen Tian looked at the desolate city, then released his senses, instantly understanding the situation within the city. He then took a step towards the city.
According to Chen Tian's perception, there was a strange aura emanating from the city, but it still felt normal to him. However, the more normal it felt, the more peculiar it was.
