Mark looked at his loved ones and smiled, "Iâll return in no time. Stay safe. My Schatz (Song Yue), Xiao Shanâs training is up to you.
Hun (Shen Ling), the fate of our country is in your hands. If anyone dares to undermine your authority in my absence, Alina, my sister, will be taking care of them as your commander.
Allen, my dear brother, I promise that once I take care of this business, weâll retrieve your memories for you. Until then, I hope you protect this world of mine I created and be patient with your adopted sister.@@novelbin@@
Mother, I promise you that Iâll keep Xiao Jiao safe no matter the costs.
And Alina, in my absence, you have complete authority over the factory and the space station. Do as you see fit."
"Farewell, everyone."
The light shone brightly just in time as Lan Jingâs spell was completed. A blinding flash of light enveloped over three of them, and the three of them disappeared soon after.
Their surroundings changed to a village burning in hot temperatures, two bluish-white stars in the sky, one on the left and one on the right. The left one looked a lot bigger, like a proper sun, while the right one seemed quite smaller in comparison, indicating its far distance.
It was so hot that Mark and the other two felt trouble breathing for a moment.
Shang Jiao had to use her ether energy to form a layer of energy barrier over her body to nullify the effects.
Meanwhile, notifications rang in Markâs head one after another.
*Ding! Scanning the planetâs atmosphere.
*Ding! Oxygen levels: 31.4%, Nitrogen: 58.2%, CO2: 2.1%, water vapor.
*Ding! Atmospheric pressure: 2.4 bar
*Ding! Current temperature: 261 degrees Centigrade.
*Ding! Natural energy density: 556.4 Ed
*Ding! Scanning the planetâs core.
*Ding! Planet radius: 1.2R.
*Ding! Surface gravity: 4.2g
"These are all weaklings. Knock them out."
Shang Jiao then charged forward at one of the incoming lava giants. With a sweep of her hand, the fire giant was knocked out and she proceeded to change the target.
Leaving the others to his sister, Mark slowly walked to the Lava giant who was struggling to get up. He approached him and crouched down, placing his hand on the giantâs head.
"Ark, extract the information."
"Arghhh..."
The fire giant leaderâs scream increased more and more as time passed by before eventually collapsing like a corpse with lifeless eyes.
*Ding! Information is extracted.
"Omit his personal life and only inform me what I should be aware of this planet, its history, its forces, etc...
*Ding! According to the data we extracted from the target, the planet is Glacadore or Earth-12994. It is in the plane of ice and fire, the realm of the Frostveil Expanse, controlled by the Ancient Lan Clan. The ruling Empire is named the Heavenly Ocean Empire.
For eons, the planet has been inhabited by Ice elves on the dark side of the planet and fire giants on the bright side of the tidally locked planet.
Roughly three heavenly years ago (equivalent to 14 earth years), a god realm warrior appeared to have lost a battle, and his remains transformed into a sun, bringing light to the dark side of the planet, weakening Ice Elves, and mutating the fire giants in the process. The temperatures rose on the planet, and Ice Elves lost their war against Fire giants. The royal family and many other ice elves fled the planet, and the Fire giants took over it.
The current ruler of the planet is named Agaroth, a fire giant lord with cultivation equivalent to 13-circle. His personality is rumored to be vicious and bloodthirsty, and he often kills his own kind for fun. Like all Fire Giants, He has a deep hatred for Ice element beings and wouldnât hesitate to sacrifice his kin to kill his enemies. The rule of nature on this planet is the law of the jungle, the strongest prevails and the weak become the prey.
Due to Agarothâs strong prowess, the planet is granted autonomy by the Heavenly Ocean Empire as long as they pay tribute to the Emperor. The Ancient Lan Clan no longer controls this planet.
The fire giantsâ source of food is the fire elemental crystals, which form in the planetâs crust as the planetâs core absorbs the natural energy and refines the expelled impurities.
The world portal is located approximately 1200 kilometers away from this location, and it is guarded by the Molten Legionâs elite troops, a group of fire giants, 64 in number, each with a similar strength as this target named Ruther.
Another interesting thing is that the fire giants worship the Immortal Phoenix and consider Blizzard Pegasus as their bitter enemy.
"Hmm..." Mark fell into deep thought, analyzing the information extracted from the fire giant. Meanwhile, Shang Jiao defeated the rest and joined Mark.
As Lan Jing apologized to him for making a mess, Mark explained to them what he learned so far from the target.
Shang Jiao made an uncomfortable face due to her brotherâs ability, while Lan Jing commented in a serious tone, "Then, we have to be swift in dealing with them before we attract the attention of immortal and powerful fire giants."
"Nah, I have a better idea." Mark smiled mysteriously.
