My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Oliver, standing guard, seemed lost in thought.

He frantically studied this overpowered ability, putting aside things like manipulating ice and snow for the time being.

Lorne's expression was arguably the most complex among all the people present.

The difference between 0.6 kilometers and 100 kilometers...

It's like when a game launches and one of the three starter characters suddenly has an inexplicable SP upgrade and returns, transforming from a caveman into a singer. Who could resist pulling for that?!

At the same time, Aunt Bai was also stunned.

She hadn't expected that Weiss would still have the ability to activate Paradise repeatedly. Even in this state, how could he still stick to Ice Princess?

That was close! I almost had a heart attack...

However, Elune was not happy at all.

I'm feeling very irritable.

They even shut down the moon's powers.

The officers from the Night Patrol Headquarters sat in the conference room. The large room remained quiet for a long time, and no one spoke to break the silence.

“Hero, hero…” After a moment, Dong Jue could not help but utter the word with difficulty.

After hundreds of years, have any figures emerged who can rival heroes?

and.....

Even after defeating one of the Ten Kings, when his physical and mental strength and extraordinary energy were completely exhausted, Weiss made a miraculous comeback, surpassing Ice Queen and instantly reaching the top!

This situation seems to be many times more exaggerated than the heroic tales recorded in historical books.

What will happen next...?

Winter Duke glanced around absentmindedly and found that the Snow Knight opposite him had a similar expression to his own; they both seemed to be so shocked that they were incoherent.

But Miss Xing seemed to be preoccupied with something else, muttering to herself.

"If you have this ability, why didn't you use it sooner? If it were me, the Sun Princess would have given you a thorough dressing-down."

"..."

"..."

At the entrance area of ​​the ice ladder below the snow ladder, after witnessing Weiss reach the top, Cassandra stood there stunned for a long time.

Then, without saying anything, she simply chuckled with a hint of pleasure, turned around decisively, and swaggered away from the Night Patrol headquarters.

The night patrol members, still standing there in a daze, just stared blankly as she walked away.

Clearly, with such a serious situation unfolding, no one cares about the minor incident of the young swordsman forcibly breaking into the night patrol.

Not long after, Night Patrol withdrew his gaze after the snowfall and glanced thoughtfully at Adele beside him.

"Adele, you should go back too. I'll stay here."

Adele hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

She left, still conflicted.

To be honest, she now felt that Weiss was more like the one who had been replaced by the mysterious villainous force than Corona.

Could it have been replaced during the relocation?

Adele thought it was very likely.

It seems necessary to have a proper talk with Weiss later.

..

At this moment, the reactions of the outside world are varied and diverse.

The moment Weiss truly stood atop the last ice staircase, all the oppressive aura that permeated the area vanished completely.

The thick clouds that had covered a hundred kilometers finally parted, revealing a pale palace made entirely of ice crystals, which appeared before him in a sacred and solemn manner.

"This is the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Snow White's Palace..."

Feel the extraordinary aura of those who went against the tide completely extinguished and gradually faded away.

Weiss gently stroked the watch face for a while, as if to soothe it.

Then, he slowly exhaled a wisp of white, cold air and stepped alone into the legendary Snow Palace.

From the outside, it didn't look as enormous as he had imagined; it was just an elegantly proportioned ice crystal building, not even as big as the Lunette family's castle.

Furthermore, the temperature inside was only a very ordinary, normal low temperature.

It's so good that even an ordinary person could survive wearing a down jacket.

Weiss walked silently along the pale, icy corridor. There were no words or decorations, only the endless ice surface constantly reflecting his own image. He maintained a basic level of vigilance.

Then, after a short while, we arrived at the very end of the Ice Crystal Corridor.

However, the view suddenly opened up.

Weiss stopped abruptly.

His expression gradually became somewhat incredulous.

Because when he walked through the palace's long corridor, he arrived at not the hall of an indoor palace, but an open-air ice crystal platform the size of a sports field.

Above me was no longer a clear blue sky and a sea of ​​clouds, but a vast, boundless, and profound starry sky!

Furthermore, at the very edge of the platform, there is a series of countless new ice staircases leading to another enormous white palace that seems incredibly distant above.

Based on visual estimation, it appears to be positioned even further back than some of the stars.

Even without stepping on it, Weiss could clearly sense the oppressive aura emanating from the ice staircase leading to the palace above, an aura that was definitely beyond his current level of cultivation to approach.

The density of snow there was so high it was terrifying, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Then, Weiss gradually came to his senses.

The place where he was currently located was not Snow White's palace at all; it was at most a transit point, or rather... it could be considered the end of the Snow Palace Trial, the limit that humans could explore.

But the true snow-covered palace is still a long way off...

"This is...a scam?"

Weiss murmured with some doubt.

He quickly shook his head, denying his first reaction.

"No, that's not right. Perhaps even the Night Patrol Headquarters doesn't know."

"After all, so far only that legendary hero has truly reached the summit."

"I wonder if, when that hero arrived at this transit platform back then, he stood here blankly like me, feeling the same confusion and bewilderment—or did he truly continue up those subsequent ice steps, cross this starry sky, arrive at that real palace, and meet Snow White herself?"

At this moment, Weiss could no longer be certain of any answer.

After all, no matter how vividly history books and legends record it, the only person who actually walked this place was that hero.

Only it knows the whole picture and the truth of this place. After it goes down, it can say whatever it wants to others, no matter how eloquently it makes a story that will shock generations. People will never be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

He even said when he got back that he and Bai Xue had taken a bath together.

Who can tell if this is real or fake?!

Weiss's mind wandered aimlessly, and his expression quickly turned somewhat forlorn.

Indeed, at this moment, Weiss truly felt a lingering sense of confusion.

You should know that he originally thought that Snow White, as one of the Seven Wonders, was at least at the end of the fifth tier, no matter how exaggerated her appearance was.

It's at most only slightly stronger than a regular 5th-tier end.

He and the caged bird, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, traversed such a long distance on their escape route. Although they were running the whole time, they managed to escape.

This gave him a subconscious illusion that although the gap between miracle and the end was huge, it was not necessarily completely insurmountable.

But now, standing on this transit platform suspended among the stars, looking at the real palace far beyond the planet's orbit, quietly floating deep in the starry sky, he suddenly had a more profound doubt about his judgment than ever before.

Snowflakes actually live in deep space, countless kilometers away...

The mere trace of pressure emanating from her palace, diluted by the starry sky over tens of thousands of kilometers, was enough to deter all the level 7 superhumans. Even I had to go through great lengths and use teleportation to get there.

In the end, it didn't even qualify as a prelude...

So, if we follow this logic, even if I manage to advance to the Void Sequence at the very end of the 5th tier one day, will I really be able to face off against Bai Xue head-on?

What if we can't even reach the true end of this ice staircase by then?

You can't even walk up to her?

So, is the end of the extraordinary sequence really level 5?

Why isn't there a 4th-order to 1st-order abbreviation? Logically speaking, this doesn't make sense at all; it doesn't conform to logic...

However, since Weiss transmigrated, he has never heard anyone mention anything beyond the end of the 5th level.

He even asked his roommate out of curiosity, but the roommate just looked completely bewildered and said he didn't understand what he meant.

But now, standing on this ice crystal platform amidst the stars, witnessing this despairing scene, and gazing up at the unreachable true end, Weiss belatedly realized, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment.

This bizarre situation is exactly the same as the Star Clock not having a first moment...

Is it possible that there isn't a lack of first-order and fourth-order physics, but rather that there's a significant problem with global cognition?

In his view, the Seven Wonders of the World, the King of the World, Snow White...

The absolute fundamental wine is not some transcendent sequence at the end of the 5th tier—

At this moment, just as Weiss was becoming increasingly confused, he suddenly noticed that there was a huge ice crystal counter placed at the edge of this star-studded transfer platform.

Weiss immediately dragged his exhausted body slowly over.

As he got closer, the items stored in the recessed area of ​​the counter gradually became clearer in his eyes.

Four exquisite ice crystal boxes were neatly arranged in the display cases.

One of the boxes was empty.

The other three each contain one item.

Of the three items, two were completely unrecognizable to Evis, appearing to be a ring and a pen respectively, exuding an aura of taboo that instinctively inspired awe.

However, when Weiss's gaze fell on the third item, his breath caught in his throat.

The pupils contracted to their limit in an instant.

His breathing also became increasingly rapid.

"One of the boxes was empty. Was it taken by that hero from back then?"

"So, this means you can choose any reward?"

"Well then, I'll really take it..."

Weiss's voice was extremely dry at that moment.

Don't blame Weiss for losing his composure.

Don't even mention that he's just an 8th-tier natural male.

Even a genuine fifth-tier Void Realm expert standing in front of this counter would drool with envy upon seeing this item.

This is not his own imagination or fantasy.

Rather, it was recorded long ago.

In an instant, Weiss's slightly trembling fingers gently pressed against the cool, translucent ice crystal panel on the counter.

Just as he expected, as if it were a reward for the person who reached the top, the ice box he desired most transformed into a ball of light and floated out.

The white light contracted slightly in his palm, condensed, and then gradually solidified—

As an endless sea of ​​white clouds converged from all directions.

In his hands, a magnificent fan was formed, woven entirely from the purest white clouds and engraved with ancient cloud patterns on both sides.

The entire fan looks as if it were forged from the bones of wind and clouds, so light that it is almost weightless, and the white cloud patterns on the fan surface are constantly and slowly swirling and flowing.

At this moment, holding this magnificent and imposing giant fan that swept away clouds like a whirlwind, Weiss still felt an extremely strong sense of unreality.
