Terraria: Cruel World Legends

...Although the battle was over...the attack of the Polar Spirit had not yet disappeared...I saw those floating ice balls the size of spike balls suddenly expand to the size of footballs and begin to spin!Releasing a large number of ice crystal fragments!

Seeing this, the sulfur and fire element immediately signaled the two to hide behind her. After they quickly did so, she immediately released a sulfur and fire laser beam!

In this way, in the high temperature of the sulfur fire, all the ice crystal fragments were eliminated... After confirming that there were no other remaining barrages, the sulfur fire element stopped releasing the sulfur fire laser column, and then sat down tiredly on the rose stone chair, his eyes a little blurred and trance.

...After all...after releasing so much sulfur fire energy continuously, she had already overdrawn it...she was exhausted.

Then Xi Yao looked at the sulfur fire element: "Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest, level 4 burn elemental spirit."

After saying that, Xi Yao took off the rose stone, and soon the sulfur fire element turned into sulfur fire particles and poured into the rose stone... After putting the rose stone away, Xi Yao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't help but cover it with his hand.

"hiss……"

"What's wrong with you?" Prism asked from the side.

"It's okay... it's just painful, I can bear it... you go first..."

Before Xi Yao finished his words, a beam of ice-blue particles shot out from the center of the already dimmed frost core... and an elderly man emerged from the particles.

The old man was dressed in rags, his face looked a little haggard and his hair was gray, but because his skin was a little red all over his body, he seemed to be in good health.

After being released, the old man immediately opened his right hand with five fingers facing himself. Then a large amount of ice-blue gas escaped from the old man's body and finally condensed in the palm of his hand...

After more than ten seconds, the icy air no longer escaped from the old man's body. Then he clenched his right fist and crushed the condensed ice ball.

"Huh... finally... I'm free..." The old man gasped and muttered to himself.

"...Who are you?" Prism looked at the old man cautiously, making a move to throw Shadow Graveraider.

"Oh, don't worry, I have no hostility. I told you, I am the creator of this ice and snow creation. You can call me [Eternal Frozen]."

As the old man spoke, he noticed Xiyao leaning against an ice wall with his hand on his forehead, so he walked quickly towards Xiyao.

"Child, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" The old man, the Great Ice and Snow Wizard [Eternal Frozen], asked with a frown.

“…” Xi Yao didn’t say anything, but it seemed that he couldn’t speak because of the severe pain in his head.

"...I'd better quickly unfreeze you..." Yongdong said, and stretched out his right hand towards Xiyao, trying to absorb the extreme cold air to unfreeze him...

This is the method to release the eternal freeze. Although it seems simple, the only one who can absorb the extreme cold air without leaving any residue or backlash is [Eternal Freeze].

...But when Yongdong saw that there was not a single bit of cold air escaping from Xiyao's body, he was shocked: "No... This child actually... undid the eternal freeze on his own? How is this possible?"

...After a while, the pain in Xiyao's head eased a little, and then he reluctantly raised his head and looked at Yongdong: "...Are you...the creator of the Polar Spirit..."

Yongdong frowned and looked at him without saying anything, just nodded slightly... But Xiyao found that Yongdong seemed to look at him with a serious look.

"By the way, the source of my eternal freezing is..." Before Xi Yao finished speaking, Yongdong waved his hand:

"Eternal freezing? Your body has freed itself... It's incredible..."

After saying this, Yongdong took a deep breath and looked around: "Is this a cave? The air is really stale... Never mind, it won't be too late to go up later... Now, kid, please follow me, I have something to tell you."

Xi Yao nodded slightly, and then followed Yongdong to a corner. Prism on the side also wanted to follow to listen to what the old man had to say, but quickly gave up the idea. After all, Yongdong did not say that she could come over... Thinking of this, Prism looked to the side, at the high-tech building.

……

After reaching the corner, Yongdong first looked at Xiyao's eyes solemnly, and remained silent... until dozens of seconds passed, he let out a long sigh.

"Do you know it yourself?"

Xi Yao quickly understood, raised the Forbidden Blade of the Oath, used the purple crystal on its hand guard as a mirror and looked into his own eyes... Then he saw two more mysterious white runes, each in his pupils.

"I know." Xi Yao was silent for a moment, then said softly.

"Can you feel the pain in your feet now? After suffering two level four injuries?" Yongdong asked again.

"Well... the necrotic tissue should have recovered. The pain is very obvious now." While Xi Yao was speaking, he was enduring severe pain in his head and the lower part of his left leg.

After another moment of silence, Yongdong sighed and said, "Child, let me guess. You should be... a creation of a god, right?"

…Seeing Xi Yao nod gently, the old man sighed again and said, “That’s right, that’s right…”

Xi Yao suddenly said: "Then, do you know... what that [Rune] is?"

"How could I know... There is no precedent for this on Terra... That is to say, you are the first human created by God."

After that, Yongdong looked at Xiyao earnestly and said, "Also, I can tell you one thing... Child, you must know that no matter what kind of power it is, it cannot be abused. Once the body, or the power, reaches its load point, death is the end."

"...So you're saying that the reason I feel pain is because...I released my power too many times?" Xi Yao said, remembering that he had only released his power once in the battle with the sulfur element yesterday...No wonder he felt severe pain...

"That should be what it means... Child, now let me tentatively sense your spirit and see what it is..."

Yongdong said this, stretched out a finger and lightly touched Xiyao's forehead, then slowly closed his eyes and remained silent.

……

However, Yongdong did not sense it for too long. He withdrew his hand after just a moment. Then he could not help but hold his forehead, enduring the sudden severe pain in his head.

"It seems... even the creations of God cannot be peeped into..." Yongdong murmured to himself... After a while, he raised his head and looked at Xiyao.

"...Child, if my perception is correct, then what you possess is not just a single [divine power]... but a [divine soul] that can grow and continuously strengthen."

"Could it be that as I grow, that wisp of [Soul] will also grow along with me, and thus be able to exert even stronger power?!" Xi Yao asked excitedly when he heard Yongdong's words.

"If my guess is correct... then it should be..."

"Then... everything that happened before makes sense..." Xi Yao muttered to himself, then slowly closed his eyes and began to recall something.

...From the first time he exerted the power of [Soul] until now, he has always had a problem...

Since the [Divine Soul] would release its power when he was on the verge of death...then why did he never release it once during the Terran Era?

And now combined with the information we know... there can only be one reason: the power of the [Soul] at that time was extremely weak, and it was not enough to release the power...

At the moment when the wall of flesh and blood was overturned, the divine essence dissipated, which probably also affected his [divine soul]... thus causing it to begin to take effect...

...So far, it makes sense...

...But...who knows what will happen next...

After opening his eyes, Xi Yao saw Yongdong staring at him quietly, as if trying to find something from him... followed by a period of silence.

"...By the way, I forgot to say, my name is Xiyao." Xiyao broke the silence first.

"...Xi Yao... [God's creation]... [Soul]... [Prophecy]..." Yongdong muttered something to himself, and Xi Yao could not hear clearly.

Then Yongdong smiled and shrugged, saying, "Kid, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the leader of an independent region?"

Xi Yao nodded and said, "Indeed, what's wrong?"

Yongdong smiled and said, "Child, if you don't mind, please let me follow you. I believe that one day you will surpass my former [Follower]."

Xi Yao nodded immediately: "I am flattered that the famous Ice and Snow Master is willing to follow a rising star like me."

Yongdong stroked the white beard on his chin and said, "It's nothing. After all, you are just like [him in the past], both are bright new stars in the Terra continent in the past hundred years. In terms of development speed, you are no worse than [him in the past]."

"So... I will be a witness and witness the birth of a legend once again..."

"...I just hope that you won't end up like [him now] in the future...otherwise, I will kill you right now." Yongdong's voice was so low when he said the last part, even he himself couldn't hear it.

Soon, Xi Yao took out a bottle of teleportation potion from the void storage space and handed it to Yongdong: "Well, Great Ice Mage Yongdong, drink this bottle of teleportation potion that will teleport you to the central grassland of Terra Continent, and then walk a distance to the east, and you will find the area I founded, called Dongfang Town."

"Is it the same void storage space as [his]... Wait, is it located on the surface grassland... I must admit that I prefer the polar surface environment. Other environments are too warm for me..."

"Really? I'll arrange it for you later. Now, stay there for now and take a rest."

"Okay, kid, but don't make promises for me." Yongdong said with a smile, then he took the teleportation potion and drank it in one gulp. Soon, he disappeared from the spot.

After Yongdong left, Xiyao reached out and touched his head, whose pain had become weaker, and murmured to himself: "The [Soul] that can grow... everything makes sense... but it seems that I can't release it frequently in the future..."

After muttering to himself, Xi Yao walked out of the corner again and put the spoils of defeating the Polar Spirit into the void storage space.

Then he looked around again, trying to find the prism... However, after looking around for a few times, he still couldn't find her figure, but he saw a piece of ice-blue cold stone with tiny sparkles in the ice not far away.
