Mo Fan had just been attacked in the most important part of the Snake totem beasts life
The wind howled mercilessly across an endless white expanse, its icy tendrils slicing through the air like frozen knives.
The landscape was a barren, lifeless void of snow and frost, stretching as far as the eye could see. No trees, no animals, no sun—only the relentless cold and the unyielding snowstorm.
Through this desolate world trudged a lone figure, battered and broken.
His body bore the scars of battles fought and nearly lost. Blood from a deep gash on his forehead had frozen into a crusted trail down his face, and his hair and eyelashes were caked with ice.
His left arm hung limply at his side, missing from the elbow down, and his torn clothes barely clung to his body, offering no protection from the biting cold.
In his remaining hand, he clutched the decapitated head of a monstrous creature. The grotesque face stared lifelessly ahead, its frozen features twisted in eternal rage. Blood, now frozen solid, dripped from its severed neck, leaving a trail of crimson ice behind him.
His eyes were hollow, devoid of the spark that once defined him. The weariness etched into his face spoke of pain beyond comprehension.
Yet, he moved forward, step by agonizing step, propelled by nothing but sheer mechanical willpower.
Each step was a battle.
His legs sank into the snow, now knee-deep, with every movement, and his muscles screamed for rest.
The storm intensified, whipping snow and ice around him in a blinding frenzy. He couldn't see more than a few feet ahead, but it didn't matter. He wasn't looking for a destination anymore.
He just walked.
The cold seeped into his bones, the numbness spreading from his fingertips to his very core.
*Pant*
His breaths came in shallow, ragged gasps, each exhale forming a fleeting cloud of mist before vanishing into the void.
The monstrous head in his hand grew heavier with each passing second, yet he refused to let it go.
Minutes dragged into hours. Hours became days. Days turned into weeks, and the weeks stretched into years.
Time lost all meaning in this endless expanse of white, where there was no sunrise or sunset, only the eternal howl of the wind.
But he kept walking.
The memories of why he began this journey had long since faded.
The faces of those he loved, the laughter they once shared, the purpose that had driven him—all of it was a distant echo, buried beneath the relentless march of time and the unyielding cold.
After what felt like an eternity, the unchanging landscape began to shift.
The snow beneath his feet grew thinner, the ground harder. The storm weakened, the winds no longer screaming in his ears.
He stumbled forward, his body trembling with exhaustion, until the snow gave way entirely.
Before him, stretched a vast chasm, an abyss so deep and dark that its bottom was lost to the void.
The edge was jagged and sharp, a harsh demarcation between the endless white world behind him and the infinite darkness ahead.
He stopped.
"The Black Totem Snake must have been framed. It's not its first shedding period. If the shedding period truly infected the populace, how could Hangzhou still have so many people?" Mo Fan creaked at Tang Yue
"Go, Go with the big guy find me after when he is all safe and sound" Mo Fan said on the blimp of exhaustion.
"I don't wanna leave you please" Tang Yue begged
His mind was quiet, devoid of thought or feeling. The howling wind had silenced, replaced by an eerie stillness that pressed down on him like a weight.
In that moment, the world began to shatter. The white expanse crumbled like fragile glass, breaking into countless fragments that were swallowed by the abyss. The chasm yawned wider, its infinite void consuming everything in its path.
His body tilted forward, teetering on the edge. The wind returned, a final, deafening roar that carried him over the brink.
He fell.
Tang Yue left to try and save the totem beast. Mo Fan looked like he was about to die his Demon element exhausted his attack by the Black totem. His Companion totem the Sacred Azure Dragon trying to save him.
His consciousness left.
