As the global freezing climate was about to end in early 2016, an ultra-low temperature cold air mass formed over the Bermuda Triangle and began to sink and spread three days later, posing a life-or-death crisis to people in the direction it passed through.
The city's water supply system collapsed. All shallow water pipes froze and burst. A super blizzard struck, and flimsy houses collapsed under the weight of up to two meters of snow and ice. Heating, electricity, transportation, and energy systems collapsed. People in the affected areas lived in endless cold and darkness. Countless people and animals froze to death or suffered frostbite. Beneath the white world lay a lurking death.
For the first time, humanity felt the threat of extinction from nature. Wherever this raging, ultra-low-temperature cold air mass moved, death followed. Without the support of heating and power systems, people huddled in their homes could only burn anything that could generate heat to survive, but at most only 20% of the population survived.
Iceland, which is relatively close by, has become a veritable ice and snow world. Perhaps due to the influence of a sudden cold air mass on the natural air convection around the world, a certain fixed pattern has been created. A small, extremely cold air mass flows through Iceland at an altitude of 200 meters above the ground, stretching endlessly, both beautiful and cruel.
Journalists from around the world who used satellite communication tools disappeared one by one in Iceland, never to be heard from again. Their last words in this world were all prayers, praying that God and all kinds of deities would send down miracles and bring them warmth.
Information from the fearless reporters indicates that even when burning paper, wood, and clothing in that area, the flames would never exceed three centimeters in size, and the extremely cold temperatures could even freeze out small flames!
The low-altitude cold air mass along this route, from Ireland, the UK mainland, France, Italy, Greece, and all the way to Syria, has also claimed countless lives, including humans and various other plants and animals.
The only saving grace is that the cold air masses along this route are not as long-term, stable, and have a strictly fixed path as those in Iceland. They typically pass through in cycles of three to five days to ten days, after which other surrounding areas become the passageways for the cold air masses. This gives governments some buffer time and a chance to recover and save themselves, keeping the death toll to a minimum. Although countless municipal facilities, such as water and electricity systems, were damaged, and the economy suffered a fatal blow, as long as people are alive, there is hope for the country and the nation. These deadly cold air masses have also united all forces in some countries like never before.
The end of the world is coming!
What wipes out humans and other creatures is not a massive flood falling from the sky, but the omnipresent chill!
At the same time, people in all countries around the world felt despair.
The freezing cold is a crisis that even Noah's Ark could not handle!
The operation of the grand formation requires enormous energy. "Dancing Robe" clearly has not yet figured out the principles and control methods of the grand formation. Therefore, under the destruction and counterattack of Little Grass, it has to do its best to use all the methods it can find to produce and manufacture as many 'space eggs' as possible, as well as to maintain a stable mental impact.
In this situation, with the 'Dancing Robe' spirit stones not being replenished in time, it had to try to control the formation using unfamiliar methods. One of these methods was to have the formation absorb energy from the outside. This method allowed the formation to quickly absorb all the heat energy above the Bermuda Triangle. Strangely, the seawater temperature did not change much, as if the formation's own priority level only allowed it to absorb energy from the nearest environment as a higher-level control range.
Apart from the very stable cold air mass from Iceland to Greenland, the paths of cold air masses in other regions often change. One of them directly invaded the nearest North American continent, making landfall in the continental United States, sometimes bringing freezing temperatures to famous cities and regions such as Atlanta, Washington, and even New York and Boston.
The world's largest country, which has always stood aside and watched the world's affairs with a smile, has now personally experienced the taste of death.
Moreover, the suffering the United States has experienced is not limited to this; it has encountered even more troubles.

"Okay, it's under control."
Lin Yao's thoughts echoed. The little grass, who had been waiting anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yaoyao, just refine any medicinal herbs you like. There are so many materials stored in the cauldron anyway. Just refine some to gather the witch power."
Xiao Cao was relieved. It was good news that Lin Yao was able to defend against mental attacks while also protecting the cauldron. Once she had enough witch power, she wouldn't be afraid to fight "Wu Yi" in a battle of attrition.
Although the number of "Sacrifice Pills" stored has decreased by more than 300,000 due to the rapid use in the past, there are still more than 1.7 million left. It should be able to compete with "Wu Yi". After all, the speed at which the great formation consumes spirit stones is also very fast. Surely "Wu Yi" has not accumulated a mountain of spirit stones?
As long as the "Dancing Robe" spirit stones are not unlimited, she is not worried about failure. Apart from the "Sacrifice Pill", their resources can be regenerated.
regeneration?
The little grass had a flash of inspiration and immediately came up with an idea.
"Yaoyao, don't rush to refine pills. Focus on gathering witch power first. Once we have enough witch power, we can try some of the secret techniques of the Daimen clan. A few of them should be helpful to us."
"Ah! That's great!"
Lin Yao immediately perked up. He pressed, "What secret technique?"
“These are all methods that consume a lot of magical power. I didn’t dare to use them before. I relied entirely on drawing magical power from Chi You’s bull horn. I was afraid that drawing too much would kill Dika. If we can directly draw magical power from the seabed, those secret techniques should be effective.”
Before Lin Yao could press further, Xiao Cao explained, "Have you noticed something? When our offensive reaches a certain point, this formation can actually draw energy from the outside. I'm sure that energy doesn't come from spirit stones!"
"Yes, I saw it too."
Lin Yao agreed with Xiao Cao's assessment. In this underwater world where there was no way to escape, he needed to find something to do to pass the time. Observing the mysterious array was a good way to kill time.
Although I never expected to understand the secrets of the great formation and thus gain control over it, I still made some gains.
"It seems there are two ways; I've seen two."
Lin Yao continued to share his findings, "One type is energy that shoots down from the sea surface, in pulses, somewhat like some kind of element in a novel, because I can feel that energy, and the air temperature rises considerably every time it shoots down."
“The other one should be caused by those ‘space eggs’. I noticed that some ‘space eggs’ in the distance will shatter without you shooting them, but the way they shatter is different from when you shoot them. It’s as if something has returned to the great formation. For a moment, the passage between those shattered ‘space eggs’ and the great formation will be distorted.”
“Yes, I think so too.” Xiaocao’s voice was loud, as if Lin Yao’s words confirmed her judgment. “So I also found two methods. Dika and the others can’t use them because they don’t have enough magic power, but I can. As long as you get enough magic power, I can try both methods.”
"What method?"
"One is a secret technique from Pangu called 'Nirvana'. It is said that when this witchcraft is practiced to the highest level, it can transform chaos into the power of the five elements, which means 'the chaos of heaven and earth gives rise to the five elements'."
