946 Third Prince & Two Old Acquaintances

The central plains of Inner Mongolia, a vast expanse of land that was part of what was once known as China to the world, was a very snowy area with temperatures usually low during most part of the year with winter obviously being its lowest point.

Being the largest boundary between the territory of China and Russia, one could get a better idea of how cold this area was. This was especially true after the Soul Record arrived on Earth. 

Temperatures were so low that the lakes had become congealed ice rinks, the small rivers hardly had any life apart from a few fish moving under a thin layer of ice, and the plants capable of surviving such extreme weather during practically 365 days of the year were the strongest while the weakest had no chance of growing at all.
