Five Frozen Centuries

Ye Yunxiao had explained the method to enter the Epic stage clearly. That was…

“Player, please find one of the three legends of the Divine Realm, the Heavenly Wood God. In order to meet the Heavenly Wood God, your favorability with the Gods must be over 75.”

At first, Wei Huo was very happy. It was not hard to enter the Epic stage after completing a quest. However, after a few moments, Wei Huo started thinking. Could the Epic stage that he entered by using this method really be considered an Epic stage?

Wei Huo asked, “How did you Gods enter the Epic stage?”

Ye Yunxiao returned to normal. He shook his head and told Wei Huo, “How did we enter the Epic stage? There’s only one way: by continuously increasing the strength of one’s soul and achieving a breakthrough at the last minute. However, that kind of method is something other Gods can’t teach you. You can only achieve a breakthrough by yourself, but that will only happen if your soul’s strength reaches the Epic stage.”

Wei Huo was surprised. “Isn’t that my current state?”

Ye Yunxiao looked at Wei Huo and said, “It can’t be. You’re undernourished!”

Wei Huo recalled his conversation with Ye Yunxiao. He chose the second method to enter the Epic stage instead of completing a quest because he had a hunch that completing the quest would be different from reaching the Epic stage.

The short teacher led Wei Huo into the Divine Kindergarten. They walked into the kitchen and took out a purple soul gem. Wei Huo was shocked, as it was an Epic-ranked soul gem!

Wei Huo was confused. Were Epic-ranked soul gems common?

He thought about the Epic-ranked creatures captured every century. What would happen to those creatures?

The short teacher did not give the soul gem to Wei Huo. Instead, he used the imposing aura, which was concentrated on the soul gem. A moment later, white smoke appeared on the soul gem.

Soon, Wei Huo smelled a fragrance.

The short teacher said as he continued operating it, “The symptoms of malnutrition are too severe. One can’t recover from them in the blink of an eye. Let’s use some strong medicine to replenish your energy. You’ll take your time to recover!”

The short man’s imposing aura tore apart the soul gem, and a drop of purple liquid dripped down.

Wei Huo’s eyes were in a daze. He suddenly felt that the liquid was very sweet. It seemed to be lethally attractive!

Wei Huo craned his neck and opened his mouth to catch the purple liquid. Soon, Wei Huo felt all the pores on his body loosen up. A strong spirit energy surged into his body, which emitted hot air. It seemed as if he was sublime.

However, something had disappeared!

Wei Huo frowned. He felt like he had lost something. It seemed like a memory. A memory had disappeared!

Wei Huo checked and realized that his manufacturing skill had dropped from level 17 to level 15.

Upon seeing this, Wei Huo understood that this was one of the inestimable consequences of using a soul gem.

A memory had disappeared, and a skill level had decreased.

The short teacher examined Wei Huo’s condition carefully and said, “Pure spiritual power without water is indeed powerful. It seems like the symptoms of malnutrition have improved a lot. We have to take care of the rest. Let’s put you in kindergarten and let you play with your friends.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

You adults are really irresponsible! Are you bullying me for not knowing how to speak?

The memory that had disappeared should be a part of item creation. That was one of the consequences of directly using a soul gem. The white smoke was probably the impurities of the soul gem, as well as the memory of the soul gem’s owner.

The short teacher placed Wei Huo in the children’s area. It seemed like a different space. As the space around him blurred, Wei Huo arrived in a weird space alone. There were over 20 children of the Gods in that space, including both boys and girls. They were playing on slides, seesaws, and sand. They were no different from normal human children.

The only difference was that a baby of the Gods that was riding a horse was special. His body was five to six times larger than the other children’s, and he looked particularly fat. He had a milk bottle in his mouth that was filled with purple liquid.

The purple color of the liquid was faint. It was not as bright as the one Wei Huo had consumed previously. However, it was obvious that he was an extraordinary person when Wei Huo saw that the other children did not have milk bottles.

Upon seeing that there was a new child in the children’s area, most of the children looked over curiously. The plump child walked over and told Wei Huo rudely, “This is my territory. You have to follow my rules here. Do you understand?”

Wei Huo shook his head.

The little fatty was unhappy. “If you don’t know something, just listen to me. I’ll play with all the toys first and I’ll eat the good food first. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll beat you up until you do!”

Wei Huo was confused. Where had he learned to be so rude?

The little fatty crushed a toy robot in his hand. “Indeed, all newbies have to be beaten up first. Guys, hold him down. I’ll beat him up!”

A few skinny children grabbed Wei Huo. However, a moment later, Wei Huo’s murderous aura was emitted. The children were shocked. They could not move at all and they did not know what was happening. They were not even Rare-ranked, so they could not resist Wei Huo’s murderous aura.

The little fatty was unhappy. “You piece of trash!” He rushed toward Wei Huo and threw a punch at him.

However, Wei Huo’s foot landed on the little fatty’s stomach. The little fatty was sent flying over 10 meters away before crashing into a light screen. The fatty bounced off the light screen and onto the ceiling. The light screen on the ceiling flashed and threw him onto the ground.

The little fatty was like a rebounding ball that flew around and eventually landed in front of Wei Huo.

The little fatty was confused.

What happened just now?

At that moment, the short teacher’s voice and imposing tone were heard. “Little Fatty, did you bully another new kid? This kid is an orphan. It was not easy for him to come back from the human world. You can’t bully him!”

The little fatty wanted to cry. He was the one who had bullied him!

The imposing aura instantly confined the little fatty. The short teacher then added, “Little Fatty, you can’t bully this new student. He’s really pitiful. You guys have to get along peacefully!”

Wei Huo walked toward Little Fatty and extended his hand.

The short teacher was relieved. “You’ll hold hands and get along peacefully. You’re all good friends!”

Little Fatty could not help but cry when he heard his teacher’s words. “I want to go home! I want to find my mother! Waaah!”

The short teacher was confused. Why was he crying all of a sudden?

“Little Fatty, you’re a little naughty. You’re crying after bullying others, yet you’re acting pitiful.”

Little Fatty started crying even harder upon hearing that!
