The extreme north of Tianlong Star.
Before the apocalypse, this was a land of perpetual ice, rarely visited.
After the apocalypse, the temperature here was even lower than elsewhere.
Even the rampant elemental storms seemed to be frozen.
There was no sound, as quiet as if the pause button had been pressed.
A beam of moonlight descended from the sky, transforming into two figures.
They were two men, one tall, the other even taller than the first.
The tall man, in the cold weather.
Wore a thin white shirt and jeans.
He showed no fear of the terrifying low temperatures, while the even taller man.
Shivered uncontrollably, pulling his clothes tighter.
But he was still too cold, so he transformed.
Into a white tiger beast form to ward off the severe cold.
These two were none other than Ji Shiyou and Ren Jian.
"I say, Ji Shiyou, why aren't you staying in the Purple Gold Palace?
You've come all this way to suffer, are you deliberately tormenting me?"
"Who's tormenting you? You're the one who insisted on following.
If I wasn't bringing you, I would have arrived long ago.
If you don't want to, go back to the Purple Gold Palace and don't follow me."
"Dream on, I'm not leaving.
I know your little tricks.
You just want to kill Chaos Beasts behind my back.
And then claim credit when Queen Mingyue returns, solidifying your position as the primary husband.
I won't let you succeed, and besides!
It's so far from Tianzhu Peak, and I can't use teleportation.
If I walked back to the Purple Gold Palace, I'd freeze into an ice popsicle, I'm not stupid."
"If you mention this again, I'll leave you here.
Frozen into a mummy, see if you dare to spout nonsense again.
I'll say it again, Mingyue and I are husband and wife, monogamous.
There's no primary or secondary wife, I am her only husband."
Ji Shiyou and Ren Jian bickered, wishing they could slap Ren Jian to death.
Ever since Ren Jian came to Yunmeng Mountain to propose, they had been rivals.
They couldn't stand the sight of each other.
Every meeting resulted in a fight, they couldn't help but exchange blows.
But the current situation forced them to restrain themselves, and they didn't fight.
Yet, they were still resentful, so after Mingyue left.
They had been exchanging sharp words, arguing incessantly.
Mingyue had been gone for a week and still hadn't returned.
The surviving ability users, although they had recovered their abilities in the Purple Gold Palace.
They reverted to ordinary people outside the Purple Gold Palace.
So they all stayed inside the Purple Gold Palace, shut in, recuperating.
Ji Shiyou, however, was the Son of the Moon, his power coming from the Moon Palace in the sky, so he was unaffected.
Ren Jian's fire ability was restricted, but his beast transformation ability remained.
So, following Mingyue's instructions, the two of them went out daily to hunt Chaos Beasts.
With their combined strength, and Ji Shiyou's current cultivation.
In a few days, they had annihilated all the Chaos Beasts within a hundred-mile radius of Tianzhu Peak.
But on the seventh day, they emerged from the Purple Gold Palace.
And as they were about to hunt further afield, they discovered that the summit of Tianzhu Peak.
Was swarming with Chaos Beasts, surrounding the Purple Gold Palace.
The number of Chaos Beasts was even greater than all the ones they had killed in the past few days.
Moreover, some of the Chaos Beasts bore scars from Ji Shiyou's moon blades.
Yet, just two days prior, Ji Shiyou had personally witnessed.
Those Chaos Beasts being killed by him and dissipating into energy.
"Such a sheltered view, didn't I tell you long ago?
Chaos Beasts revive after a period of time after being killed.
When the ice began to form, near Tianzhu Peak.
There were only a dozen or so Chaos Beasts attacking us.
But the more we killed, the more there were, eventually reaching hundreds."
Ren Jian, seeing Ji Shiyou's stunned expression, sneered from the side.
With an air of superiority, it was unclear where his sense of superiority came from.
"Yes, if I hadn't intervened that day.
You would have died under the siege of those hundreds of Chaos Beasts. What are you babbling about, get to work!"
Ji Shiyou's retort was equally sharp.
Then he kicked Ren Jian towards the densest area of Chaos Beasts.
"Ji Shiyou, you're playing dirty!
I consider you family, and you're playing palace intrigue with me!
You're using others to kill me for favor, how cruel!"
Surrounded by Chaos Beasts, Ren Jian transformed in panic, but still managed to accuse Ji Shiyou.
As if he were a concubine framed in a palace drama.
"Idiot!"
Ji Shiyou rolled his eyes at Ren Jian and soared into the air, leaping up.
He landed on the roof of the Purple Gold Palace and closed his eyes.
He didn't want to play along with the foolish Ren Jian. The roof of the Purple Gold Palace was inaccessible to Chaos Beasts.
He wouldn't be disturbed, he had important matters to attend to.
The eradication of Chaos Beasts was crucial for the reconstruction of this world.
Therefore, he needed to understand how Chaos Beasts appeared in this world.
Where did they come from? Why could they die and be reborn, and not be killed?
As he closed his eyes, a beam of moonlight shot up from him.
Piercing the sky and landing on the moon.
After refraction, it scattered across every corner of Tianlong Star.
Besides the sun's rays, what could cover a world in the shortest amount of time?
It was the eternal moonlight that illuminated the night.
About ten minutes later, Ji Shiyou opened his eyes.
By then, Ren Jian, who was being besieged by Chaos Beasts, could no longer hold on.
Ji Shiyou waved his hand, retracting the moonlight from the air.
With another flick, the moonlight in his hand transformed into a net, enveloping the Chaos Beasts.
Ji Shiyou's divine sense moved, and all the Chaos Beasts were annihilated.
They turned into energy and vanished without a trace.
"Ji Shiyou, what were you doing just now?
Why didn't you act sooner? Were you deliberately messing with me?
Let me tell you, I won't be grateful.
Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?
Is it because your scheme has been exposed and you have nothing to say?
Are we going out to hunt Chaos Beasts today?
Do you think it's pointless to kill them and have given up?
......"
Ji Shiyou jumped down from the roof. The talkative Ren Jian followed behind Ji Shiyou into the Purple Gold Palace.
Ji Shiyou completely ignored him and returned to his room.
The next morning, he quietly left the Purple Gold Palace.
Just as he was about to use moonlight遁 to leave, at the moment the technique activated.
Ren Jian appeared from nowhere and hugged him tightly.
And so, the two of them arrived at the extreme north together.
"Ji Shiyou, you still won't confess.
What are you doing sneaking around here alone?"
Ren Jian blocked Ji Shiyou's path, looking as if.
If you don't tell me, I'll pester you to death.
"Stop dawdling, you're so annoying.
To tell you the truth, yesterday I sensed.
The energy fluctuations here are identical to those on the Chaos Beasts.
And even more powerful, I suspect this.
Might be their lair, and it's closely related to their ability to die and revive.
The reason I kept it from you and came alone.
Is because I was afraid you'd be a burden and I'd have to protect you."
Ji Shiyou, thoroughly annoyed by Ren Jian, gave him a huge eye-roll.
He looked at him with disdain and revealed the truth.
"Who do you think you're looking down on? Although my fire ability is restricted.
I can still transform, and need you to protect me?
After I transform, I'm a white tiger, a white tiger!
The king of beasts, those Chaos Beasts are also beasts, all my defeated foes.
They don't even dare to breathe loudly when they see me..."
Ji Shiyou's words made Ren Jian explode.
It was a matter of dignity, and being looked down upon by a love rival.
Ren Jian's voice suddenly rose by an octave, shouting angrily.
To add to his imposing presence, he let out a heaven-shattering tiger roar.
"Do you believe me?
If you keep shouting like this and alerting the enemy.
I'll knock you out with one blow and let you freeze to death here!"
Ji Shiyou said in a chillingly low voice. Ren Jian immediately shut up.
