Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 401 - Non-Existent Existence

Chapter 401: Non-Existent Existence

The person whose soul had disappeared was an old man. He had been about to reach the end of his lifespan, but he had still been some distance away from it.

However, he had died just like that, and his soul had disappeared after his death.

This abnormal phenomenon attracted Wei Huo’s attention. The only things in the world that could escape the surveillance of Rule-ranked experts were Rules or existences stronger than Rules.

Wei Huo felt that he had encountered an existence stronger than the Rules. It was something that surpa.s.sed the limits of the world. If he had to name it, it could be called a Rule.

However, Wei Huo was not sure if it was a Rule. Although he was a Mythical expert, it seemed like there were still existences stronger than the Mythical stage in this world.

It was just that Wei Huo could not discover them. That’s right, this existence was so strong that Wei Huo could not even discover it.

Wei Huo addressed this matter in the mental discussion group of the three G.o.ds. The three G.o.ds started discussing it. However, before they could come to a conclusion, another person died three days later. His soul disappeared as well.

He had been a very young man in his twenties who had been healthy and had not had any bad habits. He’d liked drawing and skating. However, he had died just like that. It was very sudden and bizarre. He had died…

The three G.o.ds could not say anything about the young man’s death. The doctors could not find anything wrong either.

A bizarre and weird atmosphere started lingering around them. Under G.o.d’s rule, this matter seemed even more extraordinary.

After all, under the light of G.o.d’s rule, almost everyone could die of old age. People had almost never worried about health problems. It would not be an overstatement to say that under the light of G.o.d’s rule, even mosquitoes and flies would sincerely pray to G.o.d and would not hurt G.o.d’s people.

That was why everyone started to panic after this happened. The old man might have died because his lifespan had reached its end, but why had the young man died? Had he been attacked? Or had something surpa.s.sed the Rules?

Humans were most afraid of the unknown. The more perplexing something was, the more terrified they were. Although this was not enough to shake their faith in G.o.d, it made them feel fear.

The three G.o.ds continued their research and discussion. However, five days later, a middle-aged man died. This middle-aged man had been a Rare-ranked expert. He had been very strong, had a longer lifespan than an ordinary person, and he had been healthy. He could not possibly have been infected by a virus.

However, he was dead. No, it would be more accurate to say that his soul had disappeared. Without his soul, only a corpse was left behind. That was why it felt like he was dead. That was why one could not find anything wrong with his body.

Meanwhile, panic was spreading. The death of a Rare-ranked creature sounded the alarm again. Everyone panicked. Epic-ranked creatures had to be cautious when it came to this matter.

Death seemed to befall some people.

And G.o.d was nonplussed about it.

Seven days later, seven people died silently at the same time. They all turned into empty sh.e.l.ls. Their bodies had not lost anything, but their souls had disappeared without a trace.

This news caused an uproar. Everyone panicked. The fear of the unknown and death kept affecting them.

What was it?

What was that?

At the moment, everyone was in danger. Everyone was living in fear. What had happened under the light of G.o.d was too terrifying. The place that they had thought was absolutely safe had become unsafe. This was enough to stimulate their nerves.

However, although ordinary people did not feel it this time, the three G.o.ds felt something unusual.

Wei Huo said, “I can’t see or hear it, but it’s there.”

Wei Huo, the Snake G.o.d, and Chen Xuanyue left the t.i.tan and arrived on the floating mountain. At that moment, they were looking at a pointed hill.

However, there was nothing on the hill. They could not see or hear anything, but they felt something unusual.

“It’s here!”

The three G.o.ds immediately retreated. This thing seemed to be chasing them, but no ordinary person or G.o.d could see it. They could only vaguely feel it.

It was something that did not exist, or something that existed but could not be seen or heard.

Wei Huo and the others kept retreating. They retreated at the speed of light and left the mountain in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, hot lava was under their feet.

The Snake G.o.d asked, “Is it approaching us? Or have we pulled away?”

Wei Huo said, “I don’t know. I can only feel its location, but I can’t feel its distance from us or its size.”

At that moment, Chen Xuanyue suddenly shouted, “Move!”

The three of them immediately scattered in different directions.

Wei Huo looked at his left hand. A corner of his left sleeve had disappeared. He had made the clothes with G.o.dhood Energy, and they were half-illusory and half-real. They were both corporeal and illusory. It could have ignored any attack, but at that moment, a portion of his sleeve had disappeared. It happened without a sound, just like the souls of those people had disappeared.

Wei Huo said, “Be careful. This thing can devour spirit bodies!”

The Snake G.o.d asked, “Can it even devour G.o.ds?”

Wei Huo said, “It can even devour G.o.ds. No, it should be said that it can only devour G.o.ds and spirits.”

The three G.o.ds fled in three directions but they could still feel the thing. However, they could not feel its size or the distance between them. Only when the thing attacked could they clearly feel it approaching them.

Wei Huo kept flying in a certain direction. He felt that weird thing carefully and thought to himself, Did this thing devour a person’s soul?

However, Wei Huo was confused. This thing chose to devour souls in a targeted fas.h.i.+on instead of devouring them recklessly. Did this mean that this thing was intelligent?

Wei Huo took another sharp turn. This thing had just attacked him.

Could it teleport?

Or could it fold s.p.a.ce?

Wei Huo suddenly stopped flying. He stopped in the air and kept observing his surroundings. Unfortunately, he could not see or hear anything. He could only vaguely feel the existence of that thing.

This was not just Wei Huo’s situation. The Snake G.o.d and Chen Xuanyue’s situation was the same. It was as if this weird thing could split itself.

The three G.o.ds looked around vigilantly at different places, but there was nothing around them. It seemed like the three G.o.ds were fighting with the air in a battle of wits and strength, but in reality, that thing actually existed.

It was an non-existent existence…

Wei Huo’s Rule Wave spread out, but he still did not gain anything. At the same time, that weird thing attacked Wei Huo.
