Aurora and Earth Were Far Too Similar

"What legend?"

Zhou Qing has a natural curiosity about legends. After all, in this world, so-called legends and myths may, to some extent, record some of the true history or situations that have happened.

Mu Bing didn't keep them in suspense. As more and more Dancing Winter Rabbit darted out of the snow and landed on the Ice Lake, searching for their "dance partners" or competing with each other, she slowly explained what she knew, "After entering their 'dance' state, Dancing Winter Rabbit pair up. Legend has it that if a Soul Master can hunt down a pair of Dancing Winter Rabbit at the same time, their Soul Ring will automatically merge together to form a single Soul Ring."

"That's outrageous?"

Tang San felt that this legend had no credibility whatsoever.

How can Soul Ring possibly fuse?

However, Zhou Qing felt that this possibility existed. In fact, in Douluo II, there was a Secret Art that, if one hunted more than a hundred of the same kind of Soul Beast in a short period of time and triggered the fusion of their Soul Ring, there was a chance to obtain a Soul Bone.

Moreover, in this day and age, there are also Secret Art for Ring Fusion.

This shows that Soul Ring can indeed be fused together.

Mu Ice Path, "It does sound incredible, but I don't know if it's true or not. However, in some major sects, those Soul Masters have Secret Art to fuse Soul Ring and thus unleash power for a moment... Perhaps, Dancing Winter Rabbit's Soul Ring fusion is a more natural and permanent method."

The Ring Fusion is merely a momentary burst of power, after which the Soul Ring will separate.

However, according to legend, the Soul Ring of a pair of Dancing Winter Rabbit who died at the "ball" will be permanently fused together.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Is the so-called pair of Dancing Winter Rabbit a male and a female?"

"Otherwise what?"

Mu Bing smiled and said, "Perhaps this is also Dancing Winter Rabbit to choose their other half, and once they choose a dance partner in this kind of occasion, the Dancing Winter Rabbit will not choose another member of the opposite sex."

When my father was at the Soul Ancestor stage, he once hunted a pair of hundred-year-old Dancing Winter Rabbit, but they escaped. However, he left a knife scar on them. Twenty years later, when my father reached the Soul Saint stage, he went to the Ice Sealed Forest to hunt Soul Beast. Passing through this Northern Forest, he actually saw the pair of Dancing Winter Rabbit with knife scars on their bodies again, still in a pair.

With Mu Bing using her own father as a testimonial, the credibility of this statement is naturally greatly enhanced.

Even so, Zhou Qing did not believe that so-called "loyalty" alone could make the Soul Ring of the Dancing Winter Rabbit couple merge after their deaths.

There must be other factors involved—

As time went by, more and more Dancing Winter Rabbit gathered on the Ice Lake.

Some are in pairs, while others are alone.

Those paired Dancing Winter Rabbit have already begun vying for the lead dancer position, which means they are clashing with each other to see who loses their fighting ability first.

If someone is accidentally hit in a vital area, it is possible to suffer severe injuries and be on the verge of death.

Meanwhile, the single male Dancing Winter Rabbit began to jump higher and higher, attracting the attention of the females the more they jumped.

But unexpected things can happen.

When one of the male Dancing Winter Rabbit leaped nearly three meters high and attracted the attention of a female Dancing Winter Rabbit, a White Feather Falcon darted out from the surrounding woods. Its sharp talons instantly pierced the back of the male Dancing Winter Rabbit, carrying it quickly away from the Ice Lake and flying towards the woods on the other side!

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot out and pierced the belly of the White Feather Falcon.

With a mournful cry, the White Feather Falcon fell to the lakeshore, its claws loosening their grip on the still-breathing Dancing Winter Rabbit.

"My good son! Let's hurry over there! Kill that ninety-year-old White Feather Falcon, and your First Spirit Ring will be secured!" In the bushes by the lake, a burly man put his longbow back on his back, grabbed a twelve-year-old boy, and rushed towards the place where the White Feather Falcon had fallen.

The boy was somewhat timid, but encouraged by the big man, he pierced the eagle's throat with a dagger, and a white Soul Ring appeared.

The mantis stalks the cicada!

The oriole is unaware of the mantis behind!

After the Dancing Winter Rabbit's "ball" begins, it will be common to see situations such as eagles preying on Dancing Winter Rabbit and human Soul Master hunting eagles.

The Dancing Winter Rabbit were startled, but they did not scatter and flee. They continued to compete for the lead dancer position on the Ice Lake, or perhaps they were courting. It seemed that for them, this grand event was far more important than their own lives.

"Did it suppress the instinct for survival?"

Zhou Qing was surprised and puzzled by the Dancing Winter Rabbit's persistence, but then shook his head, thinking to himself, "In this Northern Forest, the oldest Dancing Winter Rabbit are only a thousand years old. They have low intelligence and cannot possibly overcome their survival instincts, unless—"

"This grand event is a higher priority instinct etched into their blood!"

However, regardless of the actual situation, Zhou Qing felt that the possibility of the Dancing Winter Rabbit representing "winter" was much greater.

The competition and killings on the Ice Lake continue.

Some Soul Hunting Team, like birds stalking birds, captured their desired Soul Beast and then caught dozens of Dancing Winter Rabbit before preparing to return home; others, like adventure parties, arrived a little later, patiently waiting to enjoy the grand spectacle brought by the Dancing Winter Rabbit.

Gradually, as night fell, the feast of predation was not over, but the number of predators had decreased.

In the night sky dotted with countless stars, streaks of green and blue light suddenly appeared, as if starlight were burning, or as if the veil on a goddess's body was reflected on the Human Realm.

Members of the Soul Hunting Team and Adventurer groups near the Ice Lake were all shocked by this scene, and some even knelt down, believing it to be Divine Miracle left by the true god on the Human Realm.

"I never expected to see Starlight Ripples! I'm so lucky!"

Even as an adult, Mu Bing was moved when she saw the brilliance in the night sky. "The Starlight Ripples appears only once every eleven years, and it can only be seen when you enter the Extreme North. I didn't expect it to be so large this time, that it can even be seen in the Northern Forest."

Tang San, Romantina, and Bu Yi were also moved by this magnificent scene, and for the first time, they even felt that gods might really exist in the world.

Where is Zhou Qing?

This was, in a sense, the first time he had ever witnessed such a beautiful scene. However, he knew that it was not a reflection of Goddess's Veil on the Human Realm, but rather a natural phenomenon unique to the high-magnetic-dimensional regions of Planet — the Aurora.

The principle behind it is that when solar wind enters Planet's magnetic field, it excites molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere in higher dimensions, resulting in a luminous phenomenon.

Although discussing science in a world with extraordinary powers may seem somewhat out of place, it makes sense considering that Douluo Continent is Planet world with a vacuum universe outside.

Not to mention, Mu Bing also said that this phenomenon occurs once every eleven years... This reminded Zhou Qing of his previous life, where the activity cycle of sunspots and solar flares was also eleven years.

In this Douluo Continent, the sun and moon are remarkably similar to those on Earth...
