As Chu Ge gazed at the familiar face in the ice coffin, images from the daytime involuntarily flashed through his mind.

During the day, at Stadium No. 1 of Yenching Magic University.

They ran into a group of their old high school classmates.

Li Muzi, Chen Xun, Ye Lingling, and the little fat boy sat opposite each other.

At that time, Zhuge Liuyun made a move against Tang Xiaoran.

In the critical moment, Li Muzi and Chen Xun took the initiative to step forward and try to save Tang Xiaoran.

However, Li Muzi, who was on the campus of Yanda University, was only at the mid-stage of the Archmage level.

She was nothing compared to the girl in the ice coffin before them.

At this moment, the entire construction site was completely enveloped by a rich, peak S-class aura.

Moreover, this energy is steadily increasing, showing no signs of slowing down.

Is it just a simple coincidence of appearance?

Chu Ge felt a sense of doubt.

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered a situation where two people with no connection but identical appearances had met.

The first extraordinary person she encountered in her three lifetimes.

— She was the fire-type girl I met at the water park back then.

The girl fainted in the park.

It was Chu Ge who brought the person back to their residence.

When the other person woke up and left, they also took two oranges from her.

The girl's appearance was exactly the same as Zhu Rong, who came from the Fourth World.

The only difference is that Zhu Rong has an extra crimson flame pattern mark between his eyebrows.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge slowly moved his gaze upwards, landing on the space between the eyebrows of the girl in the ice coffin.

The next second, her pupils flickered slightly.

There's a mark here too.

Its entire body is ice blue, and its shape resembles a falling snowflake, quietly settling between the eyebrows.

The clues connect one by one, and the coincidences are so numerous they're almost unbelievable.

The Ice Coffin Girl's aura continued to rise, breaking through the SS-level threshold, and she still hadn't stopped.

Suddenly, a slight "click" sound came from the side.

Chu Ge turned his head and saw Xu Wan holding up her phone, taking pictures of the bottom of the pit.

"What are you filming?"

Xu Wan didn't even look up, her tone calm and natural.

"Take a picture and show it to Li Muzi."

She took photos from several different angles, capturing the ice coffin and the girl inside.

Send them all to Li Muzi at once.

The other party has not yet read the message, and the interface has not yet provided a reply.

Xu Wan put away her phone, turned to look at Chu Ge and Tang Xiaoran, and slowly stated her judgment.

"I don't think she's the Li Muzi we know."

"But the two look exactly alike, so there must be a causal connection."

She paused, then added.

"It's highly likely a connection from a past life."

Then she explained her plans.

"Once she wakes up, we'll go up to her and start a conversation."

"Ask her if she'd like to come with us."

"Keep her; she might be able to help Li Muzi in the future."

"No matter what, Li Muzi is our old classmate."

"During the day, he even risked offending powerful families to rescue Hagiran."

At this point, Xu Wan coughed lightly and slightly changed her words.

"Although I couldn't save him in the end, I will remember this kindness."

"I'm her cousin, so I should accept this favor."

"Now a causal link has emerged that is related to her."

"If it's a good connection, I'll help her protect this opportunity."

Her tone shifted, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"If it's a bad karmic connection."

"Then I will personally take action and sever that connection completely for her!"

Xu Wan spoke slowly.

His tone was unusually serious, without a trace of joking.

Witnessing the entire process during the day, Xu Wan was indeed deeply moved.

She hasn't been by Tang Xiaoran's side for so many years.

I always worry that my partner will be alone and helpless when they are away from home, and will suffer all kinds of grievances.

But that battle made her see things clearly.

Tang Xiaoran is not alone.

She has true friends.

She has companions who dare to face the pressure from powerful families and protect her.

Xu Wan silently kept this kindness in her heart.

From now on, whenever Li Muzi is in trouble.

No matter how difficult the road ahead, she will help without hesitation.

After hearing these words, Chu Ge nodded slightly in agreement.

Tang Xiaoran looked at Xu Wan's arrogant and unrestrained demeanor.

A warm feeling welled up inside her, and she silently murmured "Wanwan".

A gentle smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

The three stood quietly by the pit, patiently waiting for the girl in the ice coffin to awaken.

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

The sound of whistling wind came from the distant horizon.

The official support team arrived on time.

A helicopter pierced the night sky and sped toward the construction site.

Near the construction area, four figures jumped directly from the hatch.

It landed steadily on the construction site.

The group consisted of two men and two women, all dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking member of the Magic Association.

All four of them had reached the mid-stage of the Grand Magister level.

The Magic Association's branches in each city have a basically uniform configuration.

It has two presidents, a president and a vice president.

Secondly, there are the four great guardians of the east, west, south, and north.

Below that are the seats of the ten elders.

The presidents and vice presidents of local associations are mostly in clerical positions.

Primarily responsible for coordinating daily affairs.

Their cultivation level is generally not top-notch.

Many people are not even as strong as the elders ranked at the bottom.

The four people in front of them were the four guardians of the East Sea Magic Association.

They are the city's top combat force.

Even so, the four of them still wore solemn expressions.

They had no confidence whatsoever in facing the resurrected power of the ancients.

The four of them quickly walked to the front of the pit and stood directly opposite Chu Ge and his two companions.

They did not drive the people away.

Sensing the terrifying aura at the bottom of the pit, which had stabilized at the mid-SS level, the Eastern Protector's expression darkened completely.

"This is troublesome."

"We can't compete with this level of survivors."

The Western Protector nodded in agreement.

"If it continues to recover at this rate, it may eventually reach the peak of SS level."

The Southern Protector frowned, his tone heavy.

"Even if the people from the Shanghai Association came, it would be difficult to suppress a powerhouse at this level."

"The only ones who can keep the situation under control are probably those few from Yanjing."

"Don't be too pessimistic." The Northern Protector gently shook his head, calming everyone down.

"This senior hasn't fully opened his eyes yet, so his true stance is impossible to determine."

Those who have recovered in the past are divided into three categories.

Evil people, good people, neutral people.

"Statistically, there is at least a two-thirds chance that we can negotiate peacefully."

After he finished speaking, he added a sentence.

"I have already contacted the Beijing Magic Association in advance."

"There are guardians skilled in spatial manipulation waiting over there."

"We're watching this place via satellite and are ready to come and provide support at any time."

Hearing this, the other three relaxed a little.

The Northern Protector then turned his head, his gaze falling on the three girls opposite him, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Three fellow Daoists."

"If the awakened one harbors ill intentions, they will go on a killing spree."

"Please help evacuate the surrounding residents and protect those nearby during the evacuation."

"The pressure of direct resistance will be borne by the four of us."

Xu Wan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and a few doubts arose in her heart.

"You're really trusting us enough to cover the civilians' evacuation? You really have that much faith in us?"

"I suppose so." The Northern Protector nodded gently.

"You recognize us?" Xu Wan asked in return.

The Northern Protector smiled faintly and spoke frankly.

"The news that the two of you broke into Yan University and killed the Sima family members has already spread to all the major association branches."

"It would be difficult for us not to know each other."

"But you don't need to worry."

"The East Sea Magic Association harbors no hostility towards you whatsoever."

"Families and associations are two separate systems."

"Although there are members of prominent families holding positions within the association, their interests are not completely tied to those families."

He then took the opportunity to reveal the true attitude of the outside world.

"The Sima family has a very bad reputation among aristocratic families."

"This time you killed members of the Sima family, but no one from the other aristocratic families really cared."

"The only family that will actually come down to deal with you is the Sima family."

"As for Yenching University..."

"At most, there will be a nominal condemnation, but no substantive accountability."

The Northern Protector looked at Xu Wan and said, "Anyone with eyes can see what's really going on in the student battles on the stage."

"You dared to stand up in public and kill a member of the Sima family for your friend. I can only admire your courage and audacity."

"So I believe in your character."

"Oh, I see." Xu Wan coughed lightly, her face slightly flushed. "Your compliment... makes me a little embarrassed."

At this moment, Chu Ge remembered a crucial question and asked the Northern Protector.

"Since you are so wary of ancient resurrections."

"Why not strike first and suppress them before they fully awaken?"

"It's completely unworkable." The Northern Protector shook his head decisively and patiently explained the rules.

"You can check the condition of the bottom of the pit."

At this moment, the aura of the ice coffin girl has steadily risen to the late stage of SS level.

"Her physical body appears to be asleep, but her consciousness has already awakened."

"She heard every single one of our conversations."

"If someone intervenes and causes a disturbance at this stage."

"She will break out of the coffin directly."

"His condition returned directly to its peak before he fell asleep, without any room for adjustment."

Xu Wan, curious, pressed for more information.

"Then why didn't she just break out of the ice coffin? Why did she have to slowly awaken?"

The Northern Protector used a simple and easy-to-understand analogy.

"The principle is the same as when a person wakes up."

"Humans cannot get up and move around immediately after waking up from a deep sleep."

"A sudden awakening can cause dizziness and a disoriented state."

"The same principle applies to extraordinary recovery."

"A gradual awakening is to slowly adapt to the body and strength."

"Forcibly breaking open the coffin will cause the energy to become unstable and turbulent."

"It will require a lot of time to recover, so it's not worth the effort."

"Moreover, most of these ancient powerhouses have unique personalities."

Many people are naturally grumpy when they wake up.

"Even a peaceful awakening makes it difficult to judge good or evil."

"Once they are forcibly disturbed, even if they are gentle by nature, they are easily provoked and will directly kill."

He had barely finished speaking.

The ground beneath my feet suddenly trembled slightly.

The ice coffin at the bottom of the pit slowly detached from the soil and rose steadily into the air.

It soared upwards all the way up, finally stopping a hundred meters in the air, its aura reaching the peak of SS level.

next second.

A deafening explosion occurred!

The entire ice coffin shattered instantly.

Tiny ice crystals drifted everywhere, blanketing the entire night sky.

It blocked everyone's view.

Everyone in the audience stared intently at the sky, not daring to relax for a moment.

A few seconds later.

All the ice crystals completely dispersed and fell to the ground, and the view became clear again.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

The entire sky was empty and desolate.

Not a single person could be seen.

Everyone was stunned, and the same question popped into their minds at the same time.

Where are they?!
