Ancient Civilization Remains in Antarctica

Chapter 17 Ancient Civilization Remains in Antarctica

After some arguing, Thor was ultimately unable to stop Gu Ce and was forced to agree to take him to Antarctica.

In Gu Ce's words, he is invincible below the King level!

As long as he doesn't encounter a King-level monster, he is the strongest.

He was even confident that he could deal with some king-level monsters with the help of 'Frost'.

Thor was helpless about this and could only be more careful, keeping a closer eye on Gu Ce.

Hopefully nothing unexpected happens, otherwise how will I explain it to Gu Hechang?

On the other side...

The tail of the fighter jet.

Gu Ce was looking at the instructions for using the Millennium Ice Marrow Crystal.

This Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Crystal looks somewhat similar to the Purple Source Crystal we used before, resembling an ice crystal. However, its method of use is similar to that of Dragon Blood; the "thousand years" in front only refers to the quality, not that it has actually been a thousand years.

Following the instructions, Gu Ce used Frost to carve a notch in the surface of the Millennium Ice Marrow Crystal, then applied the pure, transparent, viscous liquid inside to his entire body, and a cool sensation instantly washed over him.

Having endured the pain of jade marrow and dragon blood, even the biting cold brought by this thousand-year-old ice marrow crystal did not cause Gu Ce's expression to change much.

Thor deliberately brought the fighter jet to a stop in the air, waiting for Gu Ce's transformation to complete.

The Millennium Ice Marrow Crystal is enough to allow a mid-level War God to break through to the peak of a high-level War God, with some remaining.

Although Gu Ce was only a beginner-level War God, after being tempered in the gravity chamber, his physical attributes were not too far from those of a mid-level War God. He still had a chance to break through directly to a high-level War God, and even among high-level War Gods, he was not considered weak.

The greatest benefit of this thousand-year-old ice marrow crystal is that it can fully stimulate the remaining medicinal power in the body.

The things Gu Ce had taken before, whether it was jade marrow, dragon blood, or anything else, still had residual medicinal power in his body, which had not been fully exerted.

Now, relying on this millennium-old ice marrow crystal, he can stimulate the remaining medicinal power within his body and even have a slight hope of reaching the peak of a high-level war god.

At that time, he will be the invincible god of war in the true sense!

The invincible war god at sixteen!

It's unbelievable just thinking about it.

A few hours later, Gu Ce finished his transformation, clenched his fist, and felt the changes in his body.

"How are you feeling?" Thor asked.

"I feel like I can go and see what a King-level monster is really like," Gu Ce said.

"You dare!" Thor roared. "If you dare to do anything reckless, get off here right now."

This isn't how you court death.

Thor knew very well how big the gap was between an apprentice-level and a planet-level expert! It was a complete qualitative leap.

Even the invincible war god was only a slightly stronger ninth-level apprentice. When facing a planetary-level opponent head-on, he still could not escape death.

Perhaps with the right artistic conception, Gu Ce could contend with a King-level monster, but there are quite a few King-level monsters in Antarctica. Can he stop one, or dozens?

"Fine, fine," Gu Ce said helplessly.

He was genuinely afraid that the bald man would abandon him halfway through the journey.

I don't know what went wrong in Antarctica that required Thor to go there in person.

……

Jiangnan base city.

Gu Family Manor.

Gu Hechang and Gu Hesheng were both here at this moment.

"He Sheng, Xiao Ce has done something big at the training camp! His strength is probably about to surpass mine now," Gu Hechang said with a smile.

"That's right." Gu Hesheng said helplessly. "Since this morning, many people have been trying to get information out of me, wanting to know why Xiao Ce has grown so fast, whether he is Thor's disciple, and whether he will join the Thunder Martial Arts School in the future, etc."

"This kid hasn't called back for over a month. I wouldn't have known about his situation at the training camp if I hadn't heard from someone else."

"Xiao Ce's personality is just like mine," Gu Hechang said with a smile.

Gu Hesheng rolled his eyes at him. Who in the Gu family isn't like that?

It is said that from his great-grandfather's generation, before the Great Nirvana, the Gu family were leaders in all walks of life, with a lineage of confidence. Later, it was because of this overconfidence that they attracted the attention of many forces that joined together to drag the Gu family down, ultimately leading to their current decline.

However, things changed with the arrival of Gu Ce.

The Gu family will return to its peak!

"He Sheng, the Wang and Xu families from the HR Alliance have contacted me. They want to invite me to explore that ruin together." After finishing his casual conversation, Gu Hechang suddenly became serious.

Upon hearing this, Gu Hesheng's expression also turned serious.

"This site appears to be a pharmaceutical factory. If you're lucky, your injuries should heal. Then, our Gu family will have three councilors!" Gu Hechang said.

"Brother, you need to be careful!" Gu Hesheng said with some concern, but he didn't try to dissuade him.

Persuasion is useless!

"Mm." Gu Hechang nodded gently.

"Xiao Ce told me about the essence of water he had grasped. You can take a look at it and try to comprehend it as soon as possible. That way, once you recover from your injuries, you'll be a high-level War God."

"I'll be going now. Take care of yourself."

Gu Hechang's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only Gu Hesheng in the vast manor once again.

……

Antarctica.

Thor's fighter jet is a Qiankun-class aircraft, capable of withstanding attacks from King-level monsters, second only to Hong's aircraft.

At this speed, the time it takes for this fighter jet to travel from Hongning base city to Antarctica is less than a day.

Soon, on this vast white continent, a small town appeared before Gu Ce.

"Master." A short, stout man greeted him, somewhat surprised to see Gu Ce in the fighter jet.

"This is?"

"This is Inspector Gu, the Invincible God of War. You can get to know him," Thor said casually. "How's it going at the ruins?"

"The besieging King-level monsters have retreated, but the gates to the ruins remain tightly closed. Inspector Jiang lost contact after entering the ruins, and may already be..." the short, stout man said in a low voice.

Thor frowned, waved his hand, and said nothing more.

"You stay here and guard the base. I'll go check it out. As for Gu Ce..."

"I'll go with you!" Gu Ce said immediately.

"Hmm...that works too." Thor thought about it for a moment and agreed, which made the short, fat man look at Gu Ce a few more times.

The main danger in the ruins is actually the King-level monsters. As long as you don't enter the ruins themselves, there's not much danger. Thor is confident he can protect Gu Ce.

Once again aboard Thor's fighter jet, the two headed towards the ruins.

Soon, the fighter jet landed at the foot of a tall snow-capped mountain.

"Stay close to me and don't wander off!" Thor instructed.

Gu Ce nodded obediently without saying a word.

Following Thor, the two soon arrived at a cave.

The cave's interior is entirely composed of ice crystals, its hardness likely comparable to the materials used to forge the Nine-Element Weapons. It constantly emanates a chilling aura, and an ordinary person would probably be frozen solid within ten minutes of entering.

Gu Ce and Thor are not ordinary people, so they can move freely.

After a few minutes of walking, and passing through a narrow tunnel, the view suddenly opened up.

The two arrived at an extremely spacious cavern, which seemed to be the interior of an iceberg. The space was large enough to accommodate several football fields.

A crack in the ceiling allowed sunlight to stream in, providing a sliver of light.

Deep within this cave, a pure white door, as if made of jade, stands tall.
