Chapter 167: Chapter 122: The outside clearly smells like brother. _1

Jiang Chen ascended into the sky under the tense gaze of those around him.

He hoisted the giant stone altar to an altitude of over a hundred kilometers above the ground and then stopped.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fly higher, but as the altitude increased, so did the temperature of the thermosphere.

The temperature exceeded a thousand degrees Celsius, comparable to a magma environment.

While the human body could withstand such high temperatures, the altar, being only made of fragile rock, was already approaching its melting point.

If he continued to raise it, the core structure of the altar would gradually be damaged.

Therefore, Jiang Chen maintained this altitude and began attempting to activate the altar—

When the Merfolk Great Priest activated the altar, he held a strange staff in his hand.

That staff had already been completely destroyed by the Sea Deity’s power during the battle at the sea abyss, becoming part of the sea abyss gravel.

There was no way Jiang Chen could replicate it exactly.

However, according to Jiang Chen’s observations, both the supreme deity monsters and the Sea Deity Monsters saw humans as tiny ants, full of disdain.

It was like the ancient inhabitants of a planetary house who, upon waking up and finding their home overrun with ants, would start a thorough cleanup, quickly clearing them away.

In such a case, would ancient creatures converse with “ants,” leaving behind an altar or legacy for communication?

Clearly, it was unreasonable!

Jiang Chen believed that the Merfolk Empire merely worshipped the ancient monsters’ might and unilaterally saw them as deities.

They expressed their adoration for the deities through ancient blood rituals.

Therefore, such altars most likely originated from ancient traditions of old civilizations, rather than being an original part of the Merfolk Empire.

When Jiang Chen asked the nations to prepare materials, he had also obtained a set of wall painting data on deity-worshipping ceremonies from ancient underwater civilizations from archaeologists.

In making the altar, he referred to this data to design a corresponding ceremony.

Now, he let Zero and Yun, the two mechas equipped with intelligent modules, handle the deity-worshipping ceremony.

Meanwhile, he channeled the Inner Strength inherited in this world into the altar as an energy source.

Under the polar ice caps, an ancient creature that had slept for God knows how many years sensed this aura and slowly awoke.

The hard eons-old ice was like gas to it, unable to form any obstacle.

It stretched its body within the ice, raising its three heads.

The azure head emitted vibrations, “Is it the call of my brothers...”

The golden head bumped it hard, “Mother hasn’t returned, how could the brothers wake up together?”

“There has to be a problem!”

The scarlet head tilted.

“But...”

“Outside is clearly the scent of our brothers.”

Even if put to a vote, two heads overruled one.

They controlled the body, following the ice upward, breaking through the snow and ice as they emerged.

In the endless polar snowy wilderness, a creature with immense wings that blotted out the sun stretched them at will, revealing its splendid and colorful towering body.

It was a lofty monster with three slender necks and heads, overall having avian traits.

If using the wings to measure size,

Its wingspan exceeded three thousand kilometers, even more exaggerated than both the Supreme Deity Monster and the Sea Deity Monster.

However, if measured by the strength of Life Force Energy...

Its energy was far less than that of the Sea Deity Monster, and even less than the Supreme Deity’s, clearly “younger” by comparison.

But no matter the youth, it was an ancient monster with tremendous power.

With just a slight flap of its wings, it stirred up endless blizzards, using this power to soar into the sky.

It waved its wings, flying towards the direction from where the scent came.

It traversed the polar regions, crossed the oceans,

And as it was about to reach its destination, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it saw a reddened stone tray.
