"It's right ahead, " Edward said with a grim countenance."I hope that everything goes well."
Over ten years ago, the Cyan and Silver Armies—being the two strongest influences on Earth—had a battle here to determine the victor between them.
The other 11 armies had taken the chance to clean them up together at one go, completely wiping them out from Earth.
They had succeeded yet failed at the same time. The two armies had disappeared from Earth for over ten years, and they had also disbanded the influences under the two armies that comprised of ordinary people.
However, they had not really succeeded either. It was because neither the Cyan Army's leader nor the Silver Army's leader had actually died back then. They were just trapped.
The King of Trepidation's eyelids trembled slightly. The yellow energy that encompassed him started to flicker. He—the King of Trepidation and the Yellow Army's leader—unexpectedly felt an irrepressible sense of dread sprout in his heart.
"Are we going to let them out? Should we consider it further? Zi Xing has been killed by Fang Xingjian. Till now, we've yet to find another way to seal them."
Everyone else present understood the King of Trepidation's worry. It was because out of the seven Commanders, his relationship with the Silver Army was the worst. After all, the ideologies of dread that he spread was completely contradictory with Silver's justice.
However, now that things had come down to this, what other options did they have? They had spent half a year to come to Saturn, and time was not the only thing that they had lost. Right now, they knew that probably all of their assets on Earth had been dissolved.
The King of Trepidation relied on spreading dread to get stronger while Hui He needed to control influences and the society to meet the requirements for his army's characteristics. All of them could sense that their powers were deteriorating, and the amount of the rings' energies that they could control was getting weaker by the day.
From the moment they decided to come to Saturn, there was no turning back.
The seven of them walked on the ice plain with the energies from the seven rings of different colors wrapping around them, forming battle suits. The battle suits protected them from being harmed by the extremely low temperatures of their surroundings.
After walking for about 300 meters or so, they arrived before a huge icy mountain that had a height of over 10, 000 meters. If this mountain were on Earth, it would be the world's tallest mountain.
According to their memories, Cyan and Silver had been sealed in ice within this mountain.
Over ten years ago, the two of them fought it out in Saturn's ocean of hydrogen and helium. At the critical moment of the decisive battle, the other 11 Commanders had taken action together.
They had not intended to kill the two of them. Instead, they just used Zi Ling's powers as the foundation and caused the two Commanders to fall in love with each other.
While the Cyan and Silver Commanders were restraining each other, the group attacked the duo's minds using the 11 Commanders' powers as the foundation and Zi Ling's powers as the primary attack.
Edward and the others envisioned a scenario where the two Commanders—representing two extremities—would feel contradictory emotions the moment they fell in love. It was very likely that this could cripple their rings' energies.
Unfortunately, Silver's level of cultivation exceeded the group's expectations as Silver sealed up his own emotions at the very last moment.
Right when Silver sealed up his emotions, Cyan took the opportunity to attack, sealing up all of Silver's desires at the same time.
The two of them attacked each other at the mental level. Silver's emotions and desires were sealed up, and as this happened, he turned the surrounding area within a range of several hundred kilometers turned into ice and frost. Both himself and Cyan, as well as the two armies, ended up being sealed in ice.
The two of them had attacked each other, and no matter how disadvantageous their situations had been, they still set up traps for the other party. In the end, both sides ended up in ruins together.
However, such seals tended to be very fragile. The moment there were external stimulants, they would be able to awaken very quickly.
Therefore, over the years, the Commanders had been avoiding the mention of Silver's and Cyan's names to prevent them from awakening.
The reason they came to Saturn was so that they could help Silver suppress Cyan in the process as the seal was removed.
After all, if they had to release one person, they would naturally hope that the person was Silver, whom they could communicate with. Cyan's chaos and disorder made him unable to communicate with others. He was purely a lunatic.
Edward looked at the huge icy mountain and said, "Let's make the preparations. We'll attack into Silver's mind together and help him to suppress Cyan's attacks. They were evenly matched to begin with, so our interference will be the final straw..."
All of them held back their battle prowess, and streams of their rings' energies rose up, wanting to bring along a part of their wills into the depths of the icy mountain.
However, just as they were about to do this, everyone stopped what they were doing. The seven of them looked in astonishment and saw that there was a black human figure in the icy mountain. The figure was slowly becoming bigger in front of them.
"There's someone inside?" Hui He said in astonishment."He's coming out."
As the human figure continued to magnify, the outline of his limbs, chest, and head became increasingly clearer. It was as if the person would leap out from the icy mountain at any moment.
"He's coming, " Edward said solemnly."How's that possible? He should still be sealed up. Who is this person?"
The seven Commanders instantly became extremely guarded. Violent ring energies burst out from their bodies, and seven glows pierced through the ocean like seven huge fireballs sinking to the bottom. The surrounding ice layers cracked apart crazily, and a large number of air bubbles rose up. The entire icy mountain started to tremor.
At the next moment, under the seven people's terrified gazes, the human figure became the size of an ordinary person. It seemed like it was adhered to the surface of the icy mountain. Then, as a cracking sound rang out, the human figure stepped out from the mountains.
It was a young man with silver hair and eyes. There only seemed to be frost left in the young man's silver eyes. He stood in the seawater very steadily, like therod that provided the sea with stability 1 [1]. With his appearance, it seemed as if the entire world had calmed down. The tremors caused by the explosive outburst from the seven streams of powers earlier had disappeared completely. The icy mountain had returned to a state of calm, and the ice plain under their feet no longer showed signs of cracking and melting like before.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a power that could calm one's mind. It was as if with him around, the world would circulate according to a set of rules, and mankind would continue to live on routinely.
All living creatures in the world continued to move in accordance with their wills. When the young man's gaze brushed onto the seven Commanders, this sort of feeling sprouted uncontrollably in their hearts.
'To think that he has already broken out of the seal?' Edward gasped inwardly. 'How can this be? But if he broke out from the seal a long time ago, then... '
Edward could not hold back the curiosity in his heart. The Gold Army had a persistence toward unearthing the truth behind the unknown. Breaking out from the astonishment the other party had caused him, Edward raised his head and asked, "When did you break out from the seal?"
"Break out from the seal?" The silver-haired young man's voice rang out in the minds of the seven people."Are you referring to the ice seal? I have been able to enter and exit this place freely since around seven years ago."
Hearing the other party's reply, the seven Commanders were even more surprised. Edward could not help but ask, "Then why didn't you return to Earth?"
