Chapter 4496: Chapter 4496: The Peculiar North Pole Chapter 4496: The Peculiar North Pole After the chessboard episode, Mu Tianze’s attitude toward Lin Moyu changed noticeably. He had been cordial before, but that politeness was more out of respect for the green robed elder than personal sentiment. Mu thought Lin Moyu was closely tied to the green robe, hence his courtesy. Now, however, Mu’s feelings had shifted inwardly Lin Moyu’s advice revealed to him a new path. For years he had felt stuck, believing his journey was at an end, but now saw a fresh direction. If he could follow through, he might become a quasi Supreme, greatly increasing his power and even standing equal to the great Supremes. The number of top tier Perfection experts in chaos is large, but only a handful ever reach quasi Supreme. It seems that every leading Perfection has the potential, but in reality, few succeed. This pursuit has been Mu’s lifelong dream he thought it almost hopeless, but now, thanks to Lin Moyu, he finds new hope. Mu took Lin Moyu away from the small village to the Central Domain God Alliance headquarters. Along the way, Mu briefed Lin Moyu on the current situation. The South Pole and Central Domain are already engaged, but the fighting isn’t fierce mostly small skirmishes so far, with full scale war yet to erupt. However, Central Domain God Alliance troops are ready for much bigger battles at any time. Lin Moyu understood they surely had their own sources of intelligence, as likely did the South Pole; he didn’t care much, since this was the God Alliance’s affair. Besides, conflict here was nothing new by now, they were all accustomed to it. Responsibility for the North Pole had been given to the Upper Domain God Alliance; Mu did not elaborate, continuing to trust his allies there. The western situation was somewhat better while West Pole and Central Domain have also fought big wars, both sides remain relatively restrained, with lower casualties than in the other regions. Most mysterious is the East Pole, which has shown little movement; but the quieter it is, the more caution is necessary who knows what may transpire next. With this review complete, Mu asked with a smile, "Daoist Lin, you’re so young have you ever experienced a war of this scale?" Lin Moyu replied, "I’ve been through something similar before; battles within domains aren’t as high level as chaos, but the scale can be enormous." Mu offered, "Would you be interested in commanding a team? I could make the arrangements." Lin Moyu declined, "Not this time I won’t be joining in." Mu assumed Lin Moyu didn’t want the risk and didn’t urge further, "Then you’re headed for the North Pole, I suppose?" Lin Moyu nodded, "Originally, I planned to transfer to Wangbei realm via headquarters, then use the cross domain array to reach the North Pole, but now I want to go to Wangdong first." Mu answered, "I imagine you have matters to attend to in the North; I won’t pry, but do be careful the situation there is complicated." "You probably already know some things about the North Pole. I have a dossier with more detail, which might help." Mu handed Lin Moyu a jade token before the chess conversation, he might not have shared it, but now their relationship was closer. Lin Moyu accepted, "Thank you, senior." Mu smiled, "No need for thanks. Let me show you the headquarters, then I’ll send you to Wangdong." Upon entering headquarters, Lin Moyu felt an intense air of discipline and tension. The HQ itself is actually a colossal magic treasure, not an ordinary artifact it is a battle array treasure of truly daunting power. Ordinary treasures are enhanced with engravings, but the base is always the material; array treasures, on the other hand, are founded on a great array with materials built atop. Such an array must be extremely powerful and made with peerless resources. The array treasure also needs a spirit and not just any spirit, but one with immense strength and room to grow. All this makes forming an array treasure exceedingly difficult. The Central Domain God Alliance boasts many master array designers and artifact forgers, plus all the resources one could want, and thus produced this one array treasure. Mu informed Lin Moyu that this array treasure was beyond the chaos realm a force that could rival dozens of Perfection experts, even unpowered. With numerous cultivators feeding it energy, even those who aren’t Perfection experts, the combined force can match battles against hundreds of top level foes. Mu implied that even he himself is not a true match for the array. In sum, the HQ array is the God Alliance’s ultimate anchor. After the tour, Mu brought Lin Moyu to the transmission array inside the HQ. It’s faster and longer range than the public arrays outside what once took five days now took only two. Though three days might seem minor, it could decide the fate of a war. Lin Moyu bade Mu Tianze farewell and headed to Wangdong realm. His target, the Fifth World Domain, lies to the east; so, traveling via Wangdong made the journey much shorter. On the way, Lin Moyu studied the jade token in detail. As vice leader of the Alliance the effective administrator Mu knew far more than most. His knowledge of the Four Poles was second only to the great Supremes. Everything Mu knew was noted on the token for Lin Moyu’s reference. Some data was old, maybe ancient, but in chaos, even a million years may pass without much change. Chaos evolves so slowly that sometimes it seems nothing moves at all. Lin Moyu reviewed every detail carefully and, from the mass of information, assembled a precise picture of the North Pole, understanding why Mu had warned him to be extra cautious there. Of the Four Poles, the North is the most peculiar. It is extremely cold not merely freezing, but filled with chaotic ice. The North Pole is a world of ice attribute Daos, suffused with cold; though lethal chills are rare, soul and bloodline abilities are hampered. Outsiders entering the North Pole will lose at least twenty percent of their power and even Mu, an elite Perfection expert, is not immune. In contrast, native North Pole beings are empowered by the cold, gaining at least twenty percent, sometimes up to fifty percent, in strength. This advantage makes them nearly unbeatable in their homeland. Attempts to explain these phenomena have failed even the Supremes have looked into it, with no answers. Key point: North Pole beings hold strong grudges.
