Before Wang Qi stood an Ice Corpse.
Moreover, Wang Qi recognized it. This Ice Corpse was Bai Muwei, the Immortal Alliance Conquest Envoy who had vanished alongside the original body of the previous Ice Corpse—the cultivator Luo Nie.
Most likely, those two had vanished because, by some twist of fate, they had broken True Flame God's self-seal.
This was the final piece of information transmitted to Wang Qi by "Eternal Emotion." Although, in that final segment, the profound loneliness had transformed into the power of a twisted will and violently collided with Wang Qi's Dimension Cultivation Technique and Lesser Vehicle Magic, leaving the information somewhat fragmented, Wang Qi could still read a few scraps from it.
Amid endless deathly silence and despair, True Flame God, who had attained immortality, chose to seal himself away. In solitude, that eternal will fell asleep.
And unconsciously, the city of ice drifted through the vast cosmos, until it was finally captured by the gravity of this star and gradually approached a new sun.
If True Flame God had fallen into the sun, then he must have recovered long ago, right?
But before that, they had crashed into this rocky planet. The immense impact had even directly fractured tectonic plates, forcing magma upward and triggering widespread volcanic eruptions.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been a calamity that reshuffled the biosphere. Just like the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs on Earth.
But this was True Flame God's city, and it came with a method for absorbing thermal energy.
Thus, the surging magma solidified in an extremely short time. The rocks, with their abysmal thermal conductivity, froze the entire city in place and greatly limited Ice City's rate of heat absorption.
Beneath the dark rock layers, the transparent Ice City could not even absorb sunlight.
