“I didn’t know the power of the Holy Spirit Towers could be absorbed like that.”

Her crisp voice sounded like the chirping of a small bird.

An Lin looked down at the Realm Essence Crystal, which had been reduced into a pile of white powder at his feet. “Where I came from, this stuff is known as Realm Essence Crystals. Not only are there golden ones, but there are also white, green, blue, and red ones too. If you have any of them, you can exchange for things with me.”

Tina shook her head with a smile. “I don’t, unfortunately. From what I know, these are the only crystals within the central city.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s time I for me to leave,” An Lin said in a light voice.

“You’re leaving? To… to the outside world?” Tina’s voice undulated as she looked at An Lin.

An Lin nodded. “That’s right, I’m going into the outside world where the horizons are broader.”

“But the continent is surrounded by glacial lands! Not one person has been able to cross that place, and there’s a strong probability you’ll be frozen to death if you try!” Tina didn’t say An Lin would die for sure, because he was more powerful than anyone else on this entire continent.

“That’s just a possibility. I’m very confident in my own strength, and it’s not my style to stop exploring just because it might be dangerous.”

An Lin looked into the sky, and the light of the setting sun painted him a glorious golden color.

He turned to look down at Tina with a smile. “The world is so big. I’ll miss out on a lot of scenery if I remain in one place. Therefore, I have to leave.”

Tina looked up at the giant before her, and her eyes shone like gemstones.

“Little Na, I’m going to leave now,” An Lin bade farewell to Tina before summoning his black brick.

“Wait!”

Tina’s beautiful voice sounded from behind him.

An Lin turned with a puzzled expression. “What is it?”

“The scenery you showed me on that rectangular device… Was it all real?” Tina clenched her fists tightly.

An Lin chuckled lightly. “It’s all real. I have no reason to lie to you.”

“Then… Can you take me with you?” Tina pursed her lips and stared up at An Lin with her sparkling eyes.

An Lin was taken aback by her words and also stared back blankly at her.

“I want to see the big, wide world as well. I want to see new scenery, and I want to see just how spectacular the world is!” Tina said with a resolute expression as a scorching desire burned in her eyes.

“What about your central city…” An Lin asked hesitantly.

“I’ve been in this city and on this continent for ten thousand years, and all I want to do is to leave here! My cousin is already at the pinnacle of divine rank; she is powerful enough to take my place,” Tina replied.

So she’s just going to dump all her responsibilities on her cousin?

An Lin hesitated momentarily before nodding. “Alright, I’ll take you along for the ride!”

“Thank you! Giant An Lin, you really are a good person!” Tina spread her arms and wings wide as she flew toward An Lin’s chest.

Splat!

Tina’s tiny body crashed into An Lin’s chest in what could barely be passed off as a hug.

An Lin: “…”

An Lin also wanted to hug her in response, but he was worried he might accidentally crush Tina to death.

“Wait for me here, I’m going to assign some duties!” Tina yelled excitedly.

An Lin nodded with a smile before settling down to wait.

News of the Holy Fairy Maiden stepping down and that she was to be replaced by her cousin soon spread like wildfire throughout the entire central city. All the residents were shocked and unable to understand why this was happening.

The higher-ups of the central city were also extremely opposed to her decision.

However, the two holy rank guardians of the central city, Mandel and Harris, were in full support of the decision, citing the notion that Tina had a much greater destiny to fulfill than to just stay here for the rest of her life.

The Holy Fairy Maiden was also very firm in her decision, and she bestowed her holy tool upon her [a]on before holding a coronation for her on the very same day.

Under the gaze of several tens of thousands of people, Melody raised the holy sword high above her head as white light descended upon her from the sky.

At that very moment, Melody became the new Holy Maiden of the Fairy clan.

Night fell.

Tina appeared before An Lin again, having relieved herself of all her titles and responsibilities.

Her wings glowed with a light golden light in the night sky, making her especially beautiful.

Her white dress flowed out around her like a refreshing white lotus blossoming in the night.

“Sorry for making you wait, Giant An Lin, we can depart now!” Tina smiled.

An Lin summoned his black brick and sat onto it before patting the spot beside him. “Come on.”

Tina spread her wings and flashed through the air before landing on An Lin’s shoulder. Grabbing onto An Lin’s hair with her tiny hand, she said, “I’ll stand here so that I can see farther ahead.”

An Lin: “…”

Thus, the two of them flew toward the border of the continent during the night.

This continent really was tiny as it only took An Lin six hours to reach the border.

At the border, he was greeted by the sight of an icy blue world.

They flew through the air as if they were massive walls that created a barrier between the continent and the glacial lands.

There was no end in sight of the glacial lands, and he didn’t know what the blue gases in the night sky were. However, he did catch sight of a few living creatures that accidentally ventured into the glacial lands before being frozen into ice sculptures.

An Lin considered the situation for a short moment before meditating on the spot.

“Huh? What is it? Aren’t we going to go in now?” Tina asked curiously.

“Didn’t you say these were glacial lands? We should wait for the noon sun so that it will at least be warmer before we venture any further.”

Tina: “…”

Seems legit.

The two of them then began to play a waiting game.

An Lin cooked a hundred steamers of stuffed buns with his frying pan during this time. He then placed the cooked stuffed buns into his storage ring.

Puzzled, Tina watched the entire process while having no idea what An Lin was doing.

However, she could tell from the alluring scent escaping from the steamers that the stuffed buns should be quite delicious.

After a long while, An Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He pulled out the Vermilion Bird Mirror before asking it a question, “Mirror mirror in my hand, can you tell me if there are any good ways to cross through these glacial lands?”

“I don’t know…”

The Vermilion Bird Mirror’s reply was extremely straightforward.

Splat!

An Lin hurled the mirror onto the ground in rage. “Didn’t you say you were knowledgeable about all things? Why do you always reply with ‘I don’t know’ whenever I ask you a question? What use do I have for you?!”

“That’s false! I did provide an answer to one of your questions, which is… you’re not the most handsome man in the world!” the Vermilion Bird Mirror retorted in an enraged, tender voice.

An Lin: “…”

“Wow, what’s this? It looks very interesting.” Tina flew toward the mirror with a curious expression before stroking its smooth surface.

“Little girl, I can tell that you are about to be struck by bad fortune. I advise you to stay away from that man in order to ensure your own safety,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror told Tina.

An Lin’s lips twitched. “Didn’t you say you didn’t know how to tell fortunes?”

“I won’t tell YOUR fortune,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror replied.

An Lin suddenly had an urge to smash the mirror.

Wait, no! He had already tried to smash it once, but it won’t break.

The mirror was more impact resistant than he expected. Should he smash it again?

Clatter!

An Lin immediately smashed the Vermilion Bird Mirror into the ground again.

A string of words appeared on the surface of the mirror. “The wheel of fortune is constantly turning, you may smash me now, but I may be the one smashing you soon!”

Clatter clatter clatter!

An Lin unleashed a combo on the mirror with a cold sneer on his face. “You need to be taught a lesson!”

…

The suns, of which there were two, slowly crawled over the horizon.

One of them was gold while the other one was red. They were like twin brothers leaping out from below the horizon together before rising high into the sky to bathe the continent in boundless light and warmth.

An Lin was a bit confused. How did the gravity work here to allow the two suns to coexist?

Noon soon struck.

The blue gases on at the border of the continent really did seem to recede quite significantly. However, he didn’t really know if this was due to the sunlight making them less prominent to the eye, or if they had actually receded.

An Lin stood up and stretched lazily. “Let set off!”

[a]her cousin?
