Light Fortress-Chapter 1519 - 219: Storm’s Return (Part 3)

Originally, Giant Deer Saint wanted to explain in detail the events that had occurred in the Southern Continent during the six years since the Divine Throne’s departure.

But the person across raised a hand to stop him.

"I know."

Recalling the memories he had just extracted from the fanatic, Storm God’s Throne’s voice was somewhat hoarse: "You have waited for me for six years... a lot has happened in these six years..."

Giant Deer Saint was a bit bewildered: "You already know?"

"Sorry, I was presumptuous." Then he smiled and said, "Given your mighty power, knowing these things is within reason."

"..."

Storm God’s Throne did not answer, just sat quietly on the chair, rubbing the backrest with his fingers, creating a moment of cold silence. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Now that you have returned, the Southern Continent will be peaceful... Oh, by the way, was your expedition to the Ice Sea smooth?" Giant Deer offered tea to the Throne while cautiously bowing and inquiring.

Originally asked casually, Giant Deer would never have expected that the Throne would answer seriously.

"Not smoothly."

These three words made Giant Deer Saint’s expression stiff and awkward.

Sitting on the chair, Storm God’s Throne calmly gazed at his subordinate Saint, and solemnly said, "In the depths of the Ice Sea, there indeed lies a ruin... There’s something very peculiar there; during this trip, I lost a portion of the Authority Power."

"???"

Giant Deer Saint’s expression turned extremely vivid.

Lord Divine, went to the Ice Sea and lost part of the Authority Power?

If this news spreads to the Five Continents, it would be explosive... The emergence of a ruin in the depths of the Ice Sea implies that the previous direction of human exploration might have been wrong, discovering signs of life in untouched areas is a terrifying thought!

Could it be that the true oasis is not in the north, but in the south?

"Losing the Authority Power is a small matter."

Storm God’s Throne chuckled lightly, "Strangely enough... I stayed there for seven days, but upon returning to Yuanting Island, six years had already passed."

Giant Deer froze.

"In my understanding, traveling to the Ice Sea, reaching the target sea area, and returning to the Southern Continent... took only about half a month."

"But upon returning, everything here had changed, and six whole years had passed in the Five Continents."

Storm God’s Throne looked at Giant Deer and suddenly asked: "Do you find it amusing?"

Giant Deer couldn’t laugh.

"The ’time’ in that region is distorted, a power capable of such effect is definitely at the Fire Seed Level."

Storm stood up and said lightly, "During the last exploration, the return trips of other Titled and Angel Envoy weren’t problematic, indicating that the power of the Ice Sea Ruins likely only targets the Throne..."

In the last exploration mission, the powerful figures dispatched by various forces claimed to have felt the presence of the "ruins," yet none discovered the true entrance.

This time though.

Storm God’s Throne went himself; naturally, finding the entrance wouldn’t be an issue.

He took out a map.

"This is the entrance to the Ice Sea Ruins, I planned to explore personally... But the ’time’ in that sea area is odd; if I were to persist in advancing deeper, upon returning to the Southern Continent, eons might have passed."

Storm God’s Throne reacted swiftly, realizing the anomaly and promptly returning.

Upon returning to the Southern Continent, the reason he asked about the location of his subordinate Saint was because he needed to initiate a swift deployment.

Giant Deer received the map with both hands, his expression becoming serious.

"There must be extremely precious things inside those ruins..."

Storm said calmly: "Before the other Thrones realize, immediately set out with your men, and take the lead to enter the sea."
