Five Frozen Centuries

The Divine Realm was about to be destroyed. That was the first message Wei Huo received when he returned to the Divine Realm.

Then, he heard the voice of the game creator.

“Human time is about to recover.”

“New feature added: Hell. Humans and pets will head to Hell after they die, with the exception of soul dissipation.”

“New feature added. Players can pass Hell’s test and be revived after dying. The difficulty of consecutive death tests will increase. If the player fails the test, their character will be deleted permanently.”

“New location added. Wildlife will avoid the safe area when it’s not triggering incidents.”

“New Legendary quest characters added. Randomly select five Legendary characters, put them in Legendary Mode, and assign them the quest to resurrect mankind.”

“New Mode added: Hero Mode. Random selection of Hero Mode by everyone.”

“New feature added: Race’s Luck. Race’s Luck will be triggered if a race’s population decreases too quickly. Effect: Unknown.”

“New Relationship Network Menu added.”

“New update: Technological Tree.”

“New update: Space Pirates.”

“New update: Space Nomads.”

“New update: Zerg.”

…

The creator of the game, who had been silent for countless years, forked out all these updates in one go. All the illogical parts of the game were improved, and a lot of new content was added. At the same time, the conditions for mankind’s survival were guaranteed.

However, death was inevitable. Fortunately, the appearance of Hell gave the dead a second life. Wasn’t Hell a place like Heaven?

On top of that, he thought of the Yellow Springs Path the moment he heard the word ‘Hell’. If he entered it, he would probably be washed clean of his memories before coming out.

Wei Huo put away the imposing aura after returning to the Divine Realm. The 100-odd Gods that he had saved immediately regained their mobility upon returning to the Divine Realm. At the same time, the Thinking Lock deep in their minds lit up.

“The Heavenly Fire Goddess and the Heavenly Beast God have both died in battle! The Heavenly Wood God ordered last all the adult Gods to bring their weapons and equipment with them to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. All underage Gods will follow the leader’s orders and leave the Divine Realm immediately!”

They had not seen what had happened between the Heavenly Fire Goddess and the Heavenly Beast God, nor had they heard any new orders of his. However, their minds were locked. It seemed as if they had obtained the ability to predict the future and scattered in all directions to notify the Divine Realm’s residents.

The imposing aura shrank, and Wei Huo’s soul condensed again. It turned completely into a golden pearl. The scariest thing was that the pearl was still shrinking.

At that moment, Wei Huo thought, What are the criteria for judging a person? Do they look like a human? Do they have the same soul as a human?

Fortunately, Wei Huo could still put on his armor. Although the armor was bulky, it was at least humanoid.

Wei Huo landed in the first city of the Divine Realm. The city’s name was Green Wood.

Ever since the news that the Legendary Heavenly Fire Goddess and the Legendary Divine Beast had died in battle had arrived, the atmosphere in the Divine Realm had become a little weird.

Gods could not keep their spirits up. Adult Gods began to prepare their weapons, while underage Gods packed their belongings and prepared to escape from the Divine Realm.

Wei Huo arrived at Ye Yunxiao’s residence. He was there to collect the books. He felt that he might be able to find some clues in them.

Wei Huo stopped in front of Ye Yunxiao’s residence. His home was as simple and plain as ever. When he opened the door, he only saw a bed, a closet, and a table. However, there was a black helmet on the table. There was no system notification about the helmet!

Generally, everything in the game would prompt a system notification. For example, the bed’s notification would say, ‘Normal clean single bed, Quality: Normal.’ There were quite a lot of messages, but there was no information on the helmet. Wei Huo was suspicious.

He picked up the helmet and examined it closely. His soul was now a golden pearl about the size of a glass ball. However, as he entered the Epic stage, he had the God View, the Third-Person View, and various other perspectives. That was why he could observe the helmet from all directions.

Unfortunately, Wei Huo did not discover anything. Everything changed when his golden soul pearl left his armor and entered the helmet!

The Thinking Lock in his mind had lost its function. He could even use the imposing aura without any restraints. The anti-exile system could not detect him, as the location, information, and feedback of the Thinking Lock were all blocked by the pitch-black helmet!

Wei Huo was shocked. Was this made by Ye Yunxiao?

Wei Huo immediately flipped through all the notebooks in the closet. Although he’d said he wanted to read them, he actually used the imposing aura to scan them. After scanning them, he found everything in a notebook.

In the end, Wei Huo obtained two extremely important pieces of information. One, the owner of the notebook might be dead. Two, the helmet was a product of Ye Yunxiao’s long experimentation after reading the notebook.

In other words, the way to manufacture the helmet was hidden in these notes!

Wei Huo put away his helmet and notebook. The helmet was not ordinary. Even the scanner could not detect anything, which meant that the helmet belonged to a third-party software just like Wei Huo’s imposing aura. In other words, it was a cheat!

However, this thing would give humanity hope for a comeback!

Ye Yunxiao, I will remember you. Humans will remember you!

Wei Huo began sorting out Ye Yunxiao’s belongings. There were not many belongings to pack. Only ordinary clothes and bedding were worth any money, and so were the slingshots and stones. Wei Huo kept them as mementos.

After packing up, Wei Huo walked out of his residence and looked back for the last time.

It would not be long before this tiny house disappeared, right?

Wei Huo met Little Fatty when he returned. Little Fatty still looked terrified but was unwilling to concede defeat. He was carrying a huge backpack and had a lot of things in his hands. His parents were already on the front line and had left him alone to pack his belongings and leave the Divine Realm by himself.

Wei Huo looked at him. “Are you done packing? Have you brought everything you need?”

He was only a child about three or four years old. In his eyes, Wei Huo saw fear, confusion, and determination. That was the nature of human perseverance.

Little Fatty wanted to retort. So what if you’re at the Epic stage? Can you do whatever you want at the Epic stage?

However, in the end, Little Fatty only replied with one word. “Yes.”

He was speechless. The Divine Realm was about to be destroyed, and all the Gods were running for their lives. What did past grudges even mean?

Wei Huo patted his shoulder. “Go!”

Little Fatty nodded. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said, “You have to catch up as well.”

Wei Huo smiled. He thought about it and shoved a few Rare-ranked cards that he had created in Little Fatty’s hands. “Your destination should be the Human Realm. Keep these cards to protect yourself. You won’t be able to exchange them for Epic-ranked ones.”

Little Fatty tried his best to decline. “My brother taught me not to take other people’s things for no reason!”

However, his strength was not as great as Wei Huo’s. In the end, Little Fatty took out a small statue. “I stole this from kindergarten. I’ll trade it with you!”

Wei Huo smiled. He took the crude-looking statue and said goodbye to Little Fatty.

“I will definitely become an Epic-ranked beast and take revenge on you!” Before leaving, Little Fatty spoke harshly.

Not long after Little Fatty left, tearing sounds came from the sky of the Divine Realm.
