Chapter 249 - Aurora Phenomenon

In March, Greenland is still covered in snow and ice, creating a vast white landscape.
The airport puts a lot of effort into snow removal, as the runway for the planes is several kilometers long and it takes them a whole day to completely clear it.
Ren Mingkong walked out of the terminal building with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed demeanor. He was wearing only a thin cotton jacket, which clearly made him stand out among the other passengers as either foolish or strong. Adorning his chest was a delicately crafted brooch in the shape of a frozen flower, and it was this snowflake brooch that allowed Ren Mingkong to fearlessly face such cold surroundings.
He didn't bring much luggage either. Who would carry anything in their hands when there is storage space?
As he listened to the English announcements echoing throughout the airport, Ren Mingkong, feeling all alone, for the first time experienced the homesickness of leaving his country.
Language, not geography, is what separates cultures.
A deep trench separates Ren Mingkong from other hurried travelers, and this sense of distance cannot be erased even by one who understands all things. Technology may change life, but it cannot change the emotions within one's heart.
Besides, Ren Mingkong hasn't even opened up to understand everything.
He wanted to test his listening abilities, as in high school, his classmates used to come to him after English exams to check their answers against his - he was treated as the benchmark answer key.
However, after a few minutes, Ren Mingkong found that he didn't understand a few words at all, so he had to give up reluctantly and compromise that he was just a novice.
He secretly activated the Tiantian Mech in a way that was difficult to be noticed, unlocking the ability to comprehend everything.
As soon as he opened his understanding to all things, he began to comprehend the discussions of the nearby crowd. After careful discernment, he was astonished to discover that these people seemed to be talking about the same thing.
It was the aurora borealis that appeared in the Arctic Circle a few days ago.
Aurora? This natural phenomenon may be rare and fascinating for someone like Ren Mingkong, who lives in a temperate zone. But for those who live in Greenland year-round, it shouldn't be such a big deal to talk about.
He slowed down his pace and listened carefully to what those people were saying.
"Buddy, it seems like the aurora is showing a human-like figure. Do you think it might be the manifestation of a divine being descending?"
Just heard a sentence, Ren Mingkong almost didn't stand firm.
He was shocked and wondered if he had leaked the news in his dream.
But after calming down, he realized that it was just that person's random guess.
But the other party also revealed some information: the aurora showed vague human figures. This is quite rare because the aurora itself is a distorted optical phenomenon, and this distortion is highly unstable and uncertain, which is why it presents such magnificent and dreamy scenes, as if paint has been poured onto the Milky Way.
And this unstable and uncertain distortion wants to form a portrait, even if that portrait is vague and blurry, it's quite incredible.
No wonder they are so surprised...
Ren Mingkong took a moment to collect himself. He had originally planned to come alone, without informing anyone about the arrival of the divine remains. After exploring the secret realm in peace, he intended to leave discreetly.
Sneak into the village and don't bring a gun.
After all, if he speaks out about the fact that the remains of the divine will descend in places like the North Pole, no one will believe him.
Moreover, the more troublesome thing is that once the matter is confirmed, he will definitely be noticed by multiple forces.
So, sneaking in secretly is the best option.
However, it seems that sneaking in quietly is no longer possible.
The peculiar aurora images have already sparked a discussion among the residents of Greenland, and it won't be long before the whole world knows about this news.
Fortunately, the arrival of the divine body is only two days away, so even if all the superhumans in the world rush over, I will still be among the first to enter.
Sometimes, being just an hour late could mean losing a significant advantage.
Just like Barumuk, who was taken away halfway.
Furthermore, Ren Mingkong recalled that in his memory, when the deity's body landed in the Arctic Circle, it did not cause much of a stir beforehand. This seems to indicate that the media in Greenland is not very active, which is actually a good thing. Translation:
He walked out of the airport and was greeted by many locals holding signs.
It turned out that there was also a business of people offering accommodation to foreigners.
Ignoring them all, Ren Mingkong waved his hand all the way, as if escaping, and hailed a car, providing the address of the hotel he had booked.
Rest here for the night and set off for the North Pole tomorrow.
Although the arrival of the divine remains is in two days, it's better to go a bit early for peace of mind. Moreover, Greenland is still a considerable distance away from the North Pole. We don't provide tour groups to the North Pole; it's a restricted area for humans and not accessible to just anyone.
After providing his identity verification, Ren Mingkong successfully settled into the best hotel in the city.
Staying here for one night requires a minimum payment of 5,000 yuan.
Even though Ren Mingkong, who is not short of money, still values his money.
But as soon as he entered the room, he knew exactly where the 5,000 yuan went.
Unlike most hotels, the room's door opens outward because if pushed from the inside, it would be blocked by a one-inch-thick carpet on the floor and unable to move.
The fluffy and soft carpet is replaced with a new one after every guest checks out, ensuring that guests who have a cleanliness obsession will not feel disgusted.
On the right-hand side of the entrance, there is a fireplace on the wall. The hotel staff will light the fireplace in advance according to the guest's arrival time, making the entire room warm and cozy, just like spring.
The flickering firelight also adds a proper sense of peace to this warmth.
Ren Mingkong walked to the window, raised his hand and pulled back the curtains. Outside, the snow was falling one after another, pedestrians hurriedly passing by in thick fur coats. In the world dressed in silver, his own room was warm as if it were another season.
The snowy white is the main color tone here.
Ren Ming remembered the elegant lady he had nearly beaten half to death, and he did not show any mercy because she was a lady.
Just like Shiranui, who did not directly strangle him just because he looks average.
Violent little girl.
This is how Ren Mingkong evaluated Unhino. In Gaiden Red Lotus, members like Unhino are still in the minority. Most people are still experienced seniors who are capable of fulfilling their responsibilities as members of the Red Lotus. Translation:
I don't know if this time the Ghost Demon Crimson Lotus will also play some tricks.
Ren Mingkong always feels like they're following him wherever he goes, just like a lingering spirit.
Speaking of which, the body of the deity that descended this time is somewhat special.
At least for the Chinese people, it is definitely quite special.
In the mythological system of Taoism, there are three supreme deities, namely the Heavenly Master, also known as the Lingbao Tianzun, as well as the Yuanshi Tianzun and the Daode Tianzun.
The one who is about to descend this time is none other than the Primordial Supreme Being.
