Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 18: Ups and downs, changes in the continental structure
Shu Yan felt that this journey was full of ups and downs.

Yes, this ups and downs are literal.

Has anyone ever experienced a rapid fall from a height of 10,000 meters without any protective measures?

Presumably, very few people have experienced such an exciting feeling. Of course, after this experience, Shu Yan also became one of them.

In the forest on the edge of the Far North, streams formed by melted ice and snow gurgled, the forest was lush with flowers and grass, the breath of life was constantly steaming, and many small soul beasts ran by in groups. This was a scene that had never been seen in the Far North before.

Shu Yan leaned against a small tree as thick as a bowl with a grim face. His stomach was churning. The extreme shock of falling just now made his perception a little dazed. For a moment, he couldn't even speak.

Not far behind him, Snow Emperor looked at Ice Emperor helplessly, stretched out his hand and tapped the other's forehead, then said:
"You... keep causing trouble for me. He is just a Soul King. If it weren't for his extraordinary physical fitness, he might not be able to withstand your torture."

Bingdi kicked the stones on the ground, curled his lips, and said a little aggrievedly:
"How do I know that he has such a weak endurance? He just did a few 10,000-meter bungee jumping with me, and I accidentally threw him a little far. How do I know that he would..."

Xue Di was so angry that she felt helpless. She had known for a long time that Bing Di liked to play tricks on Shu Yan. Whenever these two got together, there would be verbal disputes. But this was the first time that such a situation happened. Now, Xue Di hoped that Shu Yan would not bother with Bing Di, otherwise she would be caught in the middle and would probably have a headache.

……

After resting for about half an hour, Shu Yan finally recovered a little. Bingdi seemed to realize his mistake and did not take Shu Yan with him to fly anymore. Instead, Xuedi took over Bingdi's position.

Currently, the three of them are within the territory of the Tianhun Empire. The area near the Far North has always been sparsely populated, and most people live in cities. There are very few scattered villages and towns. But after leaving the Far North, the scenery here is completely different. The Ice Emperor was looking around curiously along the way. Although the Snow Emperor was not as exaggerated as the Ice Emperor, her eyes were always lingering on the nearby scenery.

Shu Yan's thoughts gradually settled down. Looking at the vast land that seemed to have no boundaries under his feet, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

After the God War ended ten thousand years ago, the territory that originally belonged to the Spirit Hall was divided up by the two empires, and the entire continent slowly returned to peace.

But a hundred years later, the seven gods ascended to the divine realm. Without the suppression of the gods, over time, some people with heretical ideas appeared in the light again.

In this regard, the situations and troubles faced by the two former empires were the same.

As the kingdoms within the empire grew stronger, unrest began to set in. Corruption once again swept through the entire aristocracy, even more serious than when the gods were suppressing them.

In fact, in other words, the corruption of the nobles of the Tiandou Empire did not appear suddenly. It was a bad habit that had been passed down since the time of Tang San. Its complete revival now was just something that was expected.

In this context, civilians once again lived in dire straits. There were many riots and uprisings in various places, and the impact almost covered the two empires. For a time, the entire continent could almost be said to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, as if the entire continent had been beaten and lost its former vitality.

The war lasted for nearly a hundred years before it was slowly calmed down. However, the original two empires were split into three because of the war. Among them, the Xingluo Empire was safe and sound, while the Tiandou Empire was split into the Tianhun and Douling empires.

Unlike the tragic end of the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire paid a high price to quell the riots in the kingdoms one by one in that war, but at least it was under control to an acceptable level. However, in the war, the bloodline of the original royal white tiger Dai family almost all withered. Under the pressure of reality and helplessness, the Xingluo emperor of that generation took the initiative to abdicate the throne to the Xingguan Sect, which made a significant contribution in the war to quell the rebellion, and its contemporary leader took over the position of the Xingluo emperor. Since then, there has been no royal Dai family in the world, only the Xingluo White Tiger Duke Dai family. And what happened next was very simple. The Sun and Moon Continent collided and merged with the Douluo Continent, and the area of ​​the continent doubled. The brand-new soul mentor system appeared in the eyes of the people of the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent for the first time. Various contradictions and problems between the empires also emerged again. The continent, which had finally settled down for a short time, once again set off a bloody storm and fell into the quagmire of war again.

But the final result is now clear.

After the brief period of unity among the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, the Sun-Moon Empire was defeated and the new continent was named Douluo Continent. The war slowly ended, and the four empires confronted each other and fell into a stalemate again. This stalemate lasted for nearly four thousand years until now...

While Shu Yan was still lost in thought, Xue Di's gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"There is a human city not far ahead. Do you want to go down and take a look?"

Shu Yan raised his head and looked into the distance. Through the low mountains covered with green hills, he saw a small town of not very large size on the distant plain.

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan said:
"Let's go down and take a look. It's a good opportunity to familiarize you with the human world in advance, so that you won't get into any trouble when you go to a huge city like Xingluo City with a population of over ten million."

Shu Yan himself didn't realize that his words were actually a little ambiguous.

But after hearing this, Xue Di just smiled silently, as if he didn't care, and just hummed lightly.

Shu Yan himself realized it later and quickly explained it to Xue Di in a low voice. Xue Di comforted him with a few words and then didn't say anything else.

The figures of three people flew through the air at high speed, then landed on a road less than two miles away from the city gate, and walked towards the city on foot.

Bingdi was still in high spirits, skipping and walking in front. Her dark green high heels made crisp sounds as they stepped on the hard road. Her waist-length dark green hair was tied into two ponytails by someone. At first glance, she looked as pure and cute as a girl next door.

Of course, this girl is actually an extreme narcissist + a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Here we have to use an old saying: Don't judge a person by his appearance! Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later...

Xue Di slightly concealed the cold and detached feeling on her body, like a goddess descending to the earth, but her whole body still exuded a faint chill, which was enough to make people stand still and remember it for the rest of their lives just by taking a quick glance at her.

Shu Yan didn't care. Although he seldom went out when he was in Xingluo City, he had been to many prosperous metropolises in his previous life. In this small city, although the three of them attracted nearly 90% of the attention on the road, it was still far less than in his previous life or in Xingluo City.

Soon after the three paid the fee to enter the city, the sky gradually darkened. The lights in the city gradually became brighter. The moonlight seemed a little dim under the cover of dark clouds. Night always comes at such a coincidence...
