Chapter 1281: Nether Lotus
Zhou Wen was a spatial expert, so it wasnât difficult for him to understand the content and annotations. Although Zhou Wen already knew a lot of the content, there were indeed some unique points that gave him many thoughts and ideas.
Based on the content, the person who wrote it had to be an existence with extremely high attainments in space. Only then could they stand at a high vantage point to explain certain problems.
Leng Zongzhengâs annotations were also very precise. Furthermore, he had written quite a number of his understanding and insights into spatial powers. It was quite an inspiration to Zhou Wen.
Combining his insights and experience, Absolute Space broke through to the Terror grade in just a few hours. Furthermore, it was constantly improving.
Although he didnât know if he could really break through to the Calamity grade, the speed at which he improved was already rather shocking.
Zhou Wen was obsessed with studying Absolute Space. Apart from the necessary dungeon respawns every day, he spent the rest of his time studying it.
However, Ice Maiden wasnât in a good mood. She had been worried about the flower girl all this time.
Zhou Wen didnât know much about the dimension and didnât know how terrifying the Flower Goddess was, but Ice Maiden knew her all too well. She was a true dimensional big shot, a supreme existence at the Apocalypse level.
Even if she wasnât willing to personally descend to Earth, just mobilizing a large number of Flower race experts and Guardians to descend was enough to cause a huge calamity for Earth.
Ice Maiden was so worried mainly because she was a dimensional creature. She ultimately had to return in the future. Zhou Wen could ignore the repercussions, but she couldnât.
If the Flower Goddess knew that she, an ice demon, had captured the flower girl and wanted to kill her, the ice demons might suffer greatly. It was even possible that the demons would abandon her to appease the Flower Goddessâs rage.
Of course, this was only the worst case scenario. It might not come to that.
What should I do? How can I make that flower girl let bygones be bygones?
?Ice Maiden racked her brains, hoping to come up with a perfect solution.
âZhou Wen, I want to have a chat with that flower girl.â Ice Maiden failed to come up with a good solution despite racking her brains. She planned on understanding the flower girlâs current state of mind and why she had come to Earth.
In fact, Ice Maiden was very puzzled. Logically speaking, even if members of the Flower race were sent to Earth, they would be cannon fodder. How could one with the Tear of the Flower Goddess be sent here?
âSure.â Although Zhou Wen felt that the possibility of the Flower Goddess descending wasnât high, he didnât wish to provoke trouble if there was a better solution.
Just in case, Zhou Wen got Ice Maiden and flower girl to meet in the Chaos Bead to prevent her from escaping or sending a message to the Flower race.
Ice Maiden had the same thought. She was more afraid of something happening.
The space in the Chaos Bead was huge. The space of every item could be independent. All one could see was a chaotic fog. No matter how one traversed the chaos fog, they couldnât really make any substantial movement. In fact, they were just going in circles.
Zhou Wen sent Ice Maiden to the flower girl. With a wave of her hand, she defrosted the ice that encased the flower girlâs body and restored her freedom.
The flower girl had remained conscious while frozen, so she knew what had happened. After being defrosted, she only looked at Ice Maiden and didnât do anything else, much less attack her.
Ice Maiden couldnât help but frown when she saw this.
If the flower girl had attacked immediately, that meant that she was a mere boor. That would have made it easier to deal with her.
However, from the flower girlâs expression, it was clear that she was a very calm person. Such a person was clearly even harder to deal with. Even if she verbally agreed to a reconciliation, Ice Maiden wouldnât easily believe her.
âHow may I address you?â Ice Maiden probed as she looked at the flower girl.
âNether Lotus.â The flower girl looked at Ice Maiden and continued, âYou should be an ice demon, right? As a dimensional creature, why are you opposing us by helping the humans?â
âI didnât want to be your enemy. You initiated the attack.â Ice Maiden paused and asked, âWhy did you come to Earth?â
âAnd why did you come to Earth?â Nether Lotus didnât answer as she returned the question ad verbatim.
âIâm just an unimportant person among the ice demons. Itâs very normal for me to be sent to Earth as cannon fodder. However, you have the Tear of the Flower Goddess. Clearly, you hold a special status in the eyes of the Flower Goddess. You shouldnât be here,â Ice Maiden continued probing.
Nether Lotus sneered. âIs that why you donât dare to kill me?â
âNo matter how strong the Flower Goddess is, itâs difficult for her to directly interfere in Earthâs affairs. Earth isnât as terrible as you imagine. Even if the Flower race really attacks Earth on a large scale, they might not be able to gain an advantage when the time comes. Furthermore, the Flower Goddess might not make a big fuss over you.â Ice Maiden looked at Nether Lotus and said in a serious manner, âI didnât kill you because Iâm curious why you came to such a place. This isnât a place you should be.â
Nether Lotus wore a hesitant expression. She seemed to know that it wasnât easy for dimensional creatures to descend to Earth. Furthermore, they were restricted by Earthâs rules. She had already experienced this herself.
Furthermore, the Flower Goddess didnât know that she had come to Earth. If she really died here, it was difficult to say if the Flower Goddess could sense it. After all, this was Earth, an ancient forbidden land. It was very difficult for information to be transmitted.
Nether Lotusâs expression made Ice Maiden realize something, so she said, âItâs impossible for a Flower race like you to be sent to a place like Earth. Thereâs only one possibility. You sneaked in here yourself.â
âWho said I sneaked in? The Flower Goddess sent me to Earth for a mission,â said Nether Lotus immediately.
However, her reaction had already betrayed her. How could she deceive a shrewd person like Ice Maiden?
âActually, weâre all the same. I came to Earth secretly just for that thing.â Ice Maiden felt relieved.
Nether Lotus looked experienced, but in fact, she was still too young. She was just pretending to be calm. She wasnât as difficult to deal with as she imagined. She was like a flower who grew up in a greenhouse flower, one that had never experienced storms.
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â Nether Lotus wasnât experienced enough, but she wasnât retarded. It was impossible for her to be easily tricked by Ice Maiden.
Ice Maiden didnât say anything. However, she suddenly unleashed her Ice Demon Monarchâs bloodline and transformed into an Ice Demon Queen.
âAh! Ice Demon Monarchâs bloodline⊠You are the Ice Demon Monarchâs descendant⊠Why are you here⊠Could it be that you came to obtain Earthâs Companion Beasts?â Nether Lotus widened her eyes. Her understanding was the same as Ice Maidenâs. They both believed that with an identity like theirs, it was impossible for her to be sent to Earth unless there were special circumstances.
And there was only one special exception that Nether Lotus knewâit was the same reason that she had for secretly coming to Earth.
