Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo and the Snake God exchanged a glance. To be honest, they had not expected to discover so many secrets in such a place. They did not care if what they said was true, but they had already figured out their purpose.

The so-called eternal life was just that, nothing more. The flow of time inside and outside was different. A few seconds there would be akin to tens of millions of years outside, but the person in question might have only spent a few seconds. Their lifespan had not increased even by one second.

Everyone who had entered this star system should understand this. However, they were unwilling to go deeper.

Most of the people who had entered this place probably only felt unwillingness in their hearts. They had definitely seen people who had left this place and realized that they were ancient people from millions of years ago. In the end, they had thought that there was a secret to eternal life here, but they had rushed in excitedly and realized that…

There was nothing there that could increase their lifespan. All they could do was transmigrate millions of years later.

Presumably, the people in the Soaring Cloud City were in the same state. Disappointment must have filled their brains. This could be seen from their boring bombardment.

Wei Huo told the surrounding peak Legendary creatures, “We’re chasing a fleet. You don’t have to be so vigilant.”

A peak Legendary creature said, “That’s good. Take that fleet and leave. There’s nothing you want to find here.”

The Legendary-level creatures surrounding the Soaring Cloud City suddenly stopped. The black-and-white Titan kept approaching them. There was an incomplete fleet there. One could tell its current state based on its loose formation.

This despair shrouded all the people who had descended on this planet, but they were still a little unwilling. They thought that if they found the time artifact, they might really be able to live forever. However, this was just wishful thinking.

Even if someone found the divine artifact, they would at most stop their thoughts and bodies. However, that would not be considered true immortality. This was just like Chen Xuanyue freezing herself. How was that considered eternal life?

The black-and-white Titan kept approaching the human fleet. The human fleet was on the verge of collapsing. All of them had gone there in hopes of finding immortality, but the blow they had received was too great.

Millions of years had passed in the outside world every second they’d spent here. They had wasted so much time, but they had gained nothing. Most people could not accept this psychological difference.

This was especially true for some people whose lifespans were about to end. They were about to die and they were waiting to find the secret of eternal life to survive. However, after entering this place, they’d realized that everything was just wishful thinking. The deeper they went, the deeper that feeling of despair became.

The Snake God asked Wei Huo, “Are you taking them away?”

Wei Huo said, “I have something to ask them.”

Wei Huo scanned the human fleet with his mental strength when he entered the time gap. However, what was curious was that Lu Qiqi was not in the fleet. She had disappeared again…

Fortunately, Ma Tengyun was still on the Soaring Cloud. However, he was in a very bad state. He looked completely devastated.

When countless Legendary creatures appeared around him, he lost himself in despair. He knew that he had no chance. Everything was gone. He had lost all his chances.

Wei Huo pointed his finger and Ma Tengyun appeared on the black-and-white Titan. He sat on the ground and did not even realize that his surroundings had changed.

Wei Huo asked, “Are you still conscious? Let me ask you two questions. One, where did Lu Qiqi go? Two, where did the players go?”

Ma Tengyun lifted his head with a confused expression. “This voice…”

He saw Wei Huo and exclaimed, “It’s you, Wei… No, it’s Sai Huo, right? You’re still alive?”

Wei Huo smiled and said, “Interesting. After tens of thousands of years, someone still remembers my name.”

Ma Tengyun was confused. “Tens of thousands of years? No, we only left Earth a few thousand years ago… Yes, have tens of thousands of years passed outside? Wait, how did you live for tens of thousands of years?”

The Snake God said, “Don’t you understand? If you want to live forever, you have to walk the path of God.”

Ma Tengyun’s expression changed drastically. His mouth widened, and he became extremely terrified. He grabbed his hair and said, “God… It’s God again. God, who does whatever he wants and is omnipotent. We’re just toys and guinea pigs for his experiment. Why can’t we escape God’s gaze even if we escape here?”

A local peak Legendary native said, “You pathetic person, God is hidden in everyone’s hearts. Do you understand?”

The Snake God looked at the peak Legendary native. “That’s interesting. Can you tell me about it in detail?”

As he was facing a Mythical creature, the peak Legendary creature’s tone was not as arrogant. He said, “This was what our ancestor, a perfected cultivator, said. ‘God is hidden in each of our hearts. We did not become Gods, but God became us.’ However, we have never understood this. Perhaps only cultivators in the same realm can understand it.”

Wei Huo and the Snake God shook their heads. “No, we don’t understand it either.”

Ma Tengyun went a little crazy. If decades could not change a person, hundreds or thousands of years should be enough to change a person. He stared at Wei Huo and said, “I’m not talking about a Mythical God. You should understand that the God I’m talking about is a God outside the universe. He might be a weak ordinary creature, but he controls the center of the universe. He can control everything. Whoever he wants to kill will die. You should understand!”

The Legendary peak native from before said, “You’re wrong. This universe is like a human’s body. It will experience birth and death like humans. At the same time, it will reproduce. When we were in the previous universe, we took advantage of the birth of a new universe and came here. It was really a close call. That universe only started producing when it was dying. That was why we were lucky enough to sneak into this new universe. In order to allow our race to continue forever, we will wait for the birth of a new universe and sneak into an infant universe.”

Wei Huo said, “Everyone has their own view.”

The Snake God added, “Both views seem to have their merits.”

The Legendary peak native said, “I don’t care if you believe me or not. I hope you guys can leave this place as soon as possible. While you’re at it, tell the other races not to disturb our peace. Otherwise, we’ll kill whoever comes.”

The peak Legendary creature was still confident in front of the two Mythical creatures. It seemed like the divine artifact buried on the planet gave him sufficient confidence.
