After reminding Lin Shuang a few times, and ensuring she wouldn't worry and jump into the Ice Soul Valley, Meng Qian left.
Before leaving, Meng Qian uneasily placed an investigative mirror near Ice Soul Valley.
This would allow her to check on Lin Shuang whenever necessary.
Otherwise, she was genuinely afraid, even though Lin Shuang wouldn't jump into Ice Soul Valley now, with Wang Ye spending too much time inside, she might end up diving in.
After Meng Qian left.
Lin Shuang glanced at the investigative mirror left by Meng Qian, not feeling much about it. She knew Meng Qian left it out of concern for her.
Lin Shuang looked down towards Ice Soul Valley.
Even though she couldn't see anything down there, couldn't see Wang Ye's figure, just looking at it provided Lin Shuang with some sort of spiritual comfort.
"You must return safely!"
"Whether it's for our Ice Sect or for your Earth Star, everyone hopes you can rise quickly, to promote Ice Sect and protect Earth Star."
Lin Shuang clasped her hands together, forming a "ten" character, placed them on her chest, and silently prayed.
...
Inside Ice Soul Valley.
At this moment, the scene before Wang Ye was entirely different from from Ice Soul Valley.
Here, rather than a valley, it resembled the Ice Sect before it was built!
Desolation everywhere.
Ice and snow all around.
The wind howled fiercely.
Within Ice Sect, because of the Ice Sect Formation, most of the cold was kept outside. Inside the Ice Sect, it didn't feel very cold.
But now, inside the Ice Sect, it felt chilling.
Wang Ye felt a gust of wind as if it could penetrate, even making his bones feel like they would crack apart due to the cold.
The clothes he was wearing had no effect at all.
"Is this... not the Ice Sect?"
Wang Ye muttered.
Before entering Ice Soul Valley, Wang Ye had asked Meng Qian what it was like inside, but she had only told him that everyone's experience inside Ice Soul Valley was different.
Unless two people entered at the same time.
The scenes, experiences, and even the roles they played would differ.
Because of this, blending into another's identity, coupled with facing situations vastly different from one's own will, gave those entering Ice Soul Valley a sense of being torn apart, both physically and mentally.
Meng Qian had emphasized to Wang Ye that he could assume another identity, but he must ensure to keep his own heart.
Not to forget himself!
If he forgot himself and let his identity fully integrate with the environment, he would be forever lost in Ice Soul Valley.
Rather than Ice Soul Valley, it was more like experiencing another person's life here.
At this moment, Wang Ye felt a flood of unfamiliar memories pouring into his mind, as if they were someone else's memories occupying his brain.
He was a rare genius with exceptional talent in Ice Attributes.
Even though he only had the strength of Sixth Grade Mid-Stage Peak, his Ice Attribute talent made him highly regarded by two other individuals, who believed his strength would soon improve.
So, they invited Wang Ye to join them in creating a sect, the Ice Sect.
At the time, the other two had Wang Ye arrive here first while they dealt with some matters. According to them, they were scouting the surrounding terrain and seizing some loot from nearby bandits to better build the Ice Sect.
They had Wang Ye come here first to observe the location and determine the best place to start building the Ice Sect.
After inheriting these memories, Wang Ye began to ponder.
It was like playing a very realistic LARP.
Except, this LARP was far more real than any on Earth Star.
And in this process, there were no second chances.
If he made even the slightest mistake in this so-called LARP, he might never escape.
Also, in this LARP, he only had inherited memories; everything else was unknown.
Every action of his would determine the future direction of the storyline.
Aside from initial clues, he wouldn't receive any more hints to discern the truth.
"Alright, from now on, I am Wang Ye."
"But I am also not Wang Ye."
Wang Ye spoke strangely.
Probably to enhance immersion, making the character more deeply integrated into his role, so in this LARP, his name was also Wang Ye.
However, this Wang Ye was not the same as the previous Wang Ye.
The former Wang Ye was like a newbie who had just entered society.
Hearing someone wanted to create a sect with him, he jumped at the opportunity, disregarding his strength difference from the other two, full of confidence, so he agreed.
He believed his strength would increase soon.
Letting himself be easily persuaded and working tirelessly, never asking for rewards until the sect was established and he was promised shares.
The former Wang Ye would do anything for those future shares, without complaints or second thoughts.
But the current Wang Ye was different.
Wang Ye had already established his Suye Group on Earth Star.
He was well aware of what to say to start-up members to extract all their potential without paying much.
