Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 198 - Arriving at Kunlun Mountain

Chapter 198: Arriving at Kunlun Mountain

Wei Huo and Ma Tengyun’s secret conversation did not last more than 30 minutes. No one knew what they had said in that short time.

30 minutes later, Wei Huo left the meeting room. He did not shake hands with Ma Tengyun or say goodbye to anyone. Instead, he went straight to the place where the mechanical core was stored in Area A.

A moment of greatness would not occur twice. Fortunately, the guard had not deleted the photos he had seized from the camera.

Ma Tengyun saw him off silently. No one dared to say goodbye when he did not speak. No one even waved goodbye.

Wei Huo arrived underground and saw a huge robotic core. It was a robotic brain that was connected to countless wires. Many staff members stopped what they were doing and watched him scan the entire robotic core with a scanner.

Wei Huo then headed toward the west gate.

At that moment, a dark cloud floated over from the sky and blocked the sunlight. The ground turned dark, and people’s mood turned gloomy.

The west gate was packed with men, women, and children. Many people were looking into the city gate. An old woman was holding a crutch with one hand while holding her granddaughter’s hand with the other. Many 16-year-old young men were standing on their tiptoes and watching.

A pious person was kneeling down and praying. The Power of Faith flew into the sky and fused with the embryonic soul.

Soon, several military vehicles drove out. The soldiers jumped down and stood on both sides. They stood there with guns and maintained order.

Wei Huo finally walked out. Not far ahead of him were two rocs and a coffin. Wei Sha was standing on one side of the coffin, while Chen Xuanyue was sitting on the edge of the coffin. Her feet were moving about as she waited for Wei Huo.

The people on both sides stood up and watched Wei Huo leave quietly. However, many people knelt on the ground and cried silently.

Their G.o.d was about to leave. This made them feel sad.

Wei Huo eventually left. Chen Xuanyue landed on his shoulder and did not say anything. She only swayed her feet.

Wei Huo left. Some people seemed like they wanted to chase after him and follow him their whole lives. However, Wei Huo’s team became smaller. After about 10 seconds, the dot disappeared completely.

No one could catch up to Wei Huo. His team moved faster and faster and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Some people wanted to follow this path, especially those who were very powerful. They thought that Wei Huo’s journey west was reasonable. It might be a form of cultivation.

However, the higher-ups sent a message, saying that Wei Huo had sent it himself.

“You can’t walk this path unless you reach the Epic stage. This is an ancient path that can verify and temper your Dao. Experts from various races will walk this path. If you don’t have the strength or realm of the Epic stage, you will die if you walk this path.”

Some people believed that Wei Huo might not have said that. Perhaps the higher-ups had made up such an excuse because they wanted to keep the strong.

However, this had nothing to do with Wei Huo.

Wei Huo’s team continued moving by following the Dragon Vein under their feet. Wei Huo could feel the Dragon Vein because the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Vein kept spreading and nouris.h.i.+ng the ground.

He walked for 10 years.

Over these 10 years, Wei Huo visited many human camps and came across both humans and players.

When he met humans, he would use his human ident.i.ty. When he met players, he would imitate them.

At times, Wei Huo thought that he might be the only human among the players and the only player among the humans. It sounded like he was both a player and a human, but in reality, he might not be a player or a human.

Wei Huo felt like he had become a third party and was essentially a neutral observer.

He did not stay in any camp for long. He always left after trading. Sometimes, he would choose to attack, but most of the time, he would just wait and see.

At times, Wei Huo encountered some Bandits. They were arrogant enough to rob him, but they were all killed by him.

Sometimes, Wei Huo would encounter kind-hearted people who would give him some resources. He would then trade some scarce resources.

However, one thing was certain. Humans were rising continuously. Their hunting grounds were getting larger, and they were getting stronger. The friction between the camps was also increasing.

Wei Huo saw two camps fighting over a mining area. One side was completely destroyed, and the other side won.

Apart from the fact that humans were killing each other, the threat of all races was also getting stronger.

At present, there was more than one intelligent race in the Northern Continent. As long as an Epic-ranked creature was born in a race, that race would develop its own civilization. There were battles and alliances among the various races. These relations.h.i.+ps lasted for 100 years. That was how humans had emerged!

The potential of humans made all races tremble in fear. Many higher-ups of the other races thought that humans were a threat and had to be eliminated. That was why monsters often attacked cities.

From time to time, Epic-ranked creatures would hunt humans. Wei Huo had killed quite a number of Epic-ranked creatures over the past 10 years. He had gradually understood some things by checking their memories.

The death of the Tyrannosaurus King, the death of the Naga’s Great Ancestor, the Legendary honey badger’s broken arm, and the death of the Ant Race’s Legendary being had all delivered a huge blow to the alliance. This made the alliance realize that there were Legendary creatures among humans as well, and there might be more than one. This made the tens of thousands of races fear them even more. It was already impressive for a race to have a Legendary creature. It was enough to make a race proud and help it become one of the leading races of the Northern Continent. After all, most races only had Epic-ranked creatures and no Legendary ones. However, there might be many Legendary creatures among humans, which was too terrifying.

The fear buried in their memories gradually emerged. In the legends of thousands of races, humans were the incarnations of demons. Many races had such legends. It was said that humans were very terrifying. They were the overlords who had once ruled this planet. They had only disappeared for a period of time after being sealed.

Now that the seal had been lifted, humans were about to ascend to the position of the overlords again. If they did not unite to eradicate humans, the Dark Age of the myriad races would descend again.

This was a threat. Thousands of races believed that humans were a threat to them and wanted to eradicate them as soon as possible.

That was why Epic-ranked creatures would occasionally be hunting humans. If Wei Huo encountered one, he would suppress or kill it mercilessly until he had provoked a Legendary-level mutated c.o.c.kroach that had fought Wei Huo for 13 days. To be precise, Wei Huo had chased it for 13 days and eventually killed them both.

The news terrified the thousands of races. The few Legendary creatures they had dared not stir up trouble anymore. Wei Huo’s thunderous methods terrified them.

However, some races also believed that there were no Legendary creatures among humans. It was just that the legends of other races were helping humans.

For example, the dogs in the central part of the Northern Continent had a Legendary creature. Dogs had a pair of ears and a tail, and their hair was very long. Other than that, they were no different from humans. There was the notion that the dogs wanted to get along well with humans, which made the thousands of races angry and helpless.

In addition, there was also the Panda Race in the southwest. There was an early-stage Legendary existence in that race. The Panda Race had always lived a peaceful life. When a human memorized the entire Dao Scripture, all the humans there were protected by the Panda Race.

Ten years was long enough for many things to happen. The situation was getting more complicated, but Wei Huo ignored it. He continued moving along the Dragon Vein and finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain 10 years later.
