Five Frozen Centuries

The only Legendary-level God Destroyer noticed Wei Huo and rushed toward him. It seemed like it wanted to bite Wei Huo to death.

At that moment, two Heavenly Gods appeared. It was the Heavenly Wood God and the Heavenly Fire Goddess.

The two Gods attacked together, and two different domains instantly shrouded the Legendary Divine Beast. A moment later, a golden flame was thrown by the Heavenly Fire Goddess. The moment the golden flame came into contact with the Divine Beast, it ignited the soul flame from an extremely long distance away. The soul flame used spirit energy as a fuel. It did not emit any heat during the burning process, but it could burn any soul!

The Legendary beast started struggling, and its body began to change. The beast, which was a few hundred meters tall, suddenly grew to 500-600 meters tall. It seemed like it wanted to continue growing, but a Heavenly Beast God suddenly descended from the sky and swallowed it with one bite.

Wei Huo had never seen the Heavenly Beast God before, but based on its name, it seemed like the Heavenly Beast God was either a giant beast or a God who was good at controlling beasts. However, Wei Huo now understood that the Heavenly Beast God was actually a Heavenly Giant Beast.

The Heavenly Beast God disappeared in the air again as if it had never appeared. However, the Gods were all sweating in fear.

“Is this imposing aura yours, Wei Huo? Did you advance to the Epic stage? That’s not right! You don’t have a soul gem!” The Heavenly Wood God frowned. “Wei Huo, how did you get here? The portal should be closed!”

Wei Huo slowly put away his imposing aura. He stared curiously at the Heavenly Wood God and the other Gods. The locks in their minds had not flickered ever since they had arrived at the Void Realm. On the surface, they should not be controlled by the system anymore.

However, he still thought they were Gods under the influence of their memories. Fortunately, they seemed to remember Wei Huo.

Wei Huo replied, “I’m Wei Huo! I entered the Divine Ruins, but for some reason, I came here.”

“The Divine Ruins?” The Heavenly Wood God was shocked. “The Divine Ruins are in the Void Realm?”

Wei Huo asked, “Have you never been to the Divine Ruins?”

The Heavenly Wood God shook his head. “I was only able to enter the top three at the coming-of-age competition. However, strangely enough, I never thought of taking part in this competition. I don’t know why. However, Legendary-level Heavenly Gods shouldn’t be competing with newborn Gods.”

Wei Huo looked at the 1,800-year-old and 2,000-year-old soldiers. “What about you guys? Didn’t you participate in the competition?”

The soldiers were stunned. They only replied after seeing the Heavenly Wood God nod. “We don’t know. We wanted to go there initially, but we always encountered all sorts of obstacles, such as Divine Beast attacks.”

A 1,800-year-old primal young God said, “That’s right. I wanted to participate this time, but who knew that the Divine Beasts would invade? I gave up the chance to participate as a result.”

Wei Huo understood everything. The Thinking Lock had influenced them so that they could not participate in the players’ Card Competition.

“Wei Huo!” The Heavenly Wood God’s eyes focused on him. “Did you discover something?”

Wei Huo did not know if he should tell him. After all, anyone who knew too much… died. He asked, “Where’s Ye Yunxiao?”

The Heavenly Wood God was stunned. He found Wei Huo’s tone a little weird. After all, there were not many Gods who would dare to speak to him in such a tone. However, he had a mild temper. Besides, the strength displayed by Wei Huo was too powerful. That peculiar field could actually affect his emotions. It was terrifying!

The Heavenly Wood God said, “Ye Yunxiao… He accompanied me to search for the God Annihilating Staff. After we found it, we decided to return. However, on the way back, Ye Yunxiao went crazy. He insisted that our world was fake and refused to return to the Divine Realm no matter what… He’s only a Rare-ranked man. There’s only one way out of the Void Battle Shuttle. I was in a hurry to return to the Divine Realm, so I decided to knock him out first. However, he jumped off the Void Battle Shuttle and fell into the vortex. I don’t know if he’s still alive.”

Wei Huo thought about it after listening to the Heavenly Wood God’s description. Was Ye Yunxiao awakened too?

It seemed like someone had helped Ye Yunxiao. Besides Ye Yunxiao, they had also helped the owner of the notebook. Something seemed to be slowly taking place.

The Heavenly Wood God asked, “Wei Huo, what do you know?”

The Heavenly Wood God had detected that something was amiss but had no idea what was going on.

However, at that moment, a continent appeared away from the Void Realm. It was a continent that was floating in the Void Realm. The continent was radiating with a golden radiance. A gigantic beast’s shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the continent. It was as big as the continent!

Wei Huo narrowed his eyes at the gigantic creature and told the Heavenly Wood God, “If I tell you the truth, I don’t think you will be able to return alive. You can’t talk to anyone about this. You have to figure it out yourself!”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his words, a special wave spread out. The platform built at the edge of the Divine Realm crumbled instantly, and countless Divine Soldiers floated up and away from the collapsing platform. They could no longer control their bodies.

It turned out that the Gods could move about freely only if the platform existed.

“It’s the power of the laws! It’s a mythical creature!” The Heavenly Wood God roared. “All Gods will return to the Divine Realm immediately!”

However, that would not do. The platform had been destroyed, and none of the Gods could move freely. They could only watch helplessly as the Divine Beasts that could move freely in the Void Realm charged toward them.

Wei Huo’s imposing aura swept through the air. At the same time, he roared, “Let your minds go!”

A lonely feeling crept into their hearts, causing their hearts to ache uncontrollably.

At the same time, Wei Huo had already used his imposing aura to fly toward the edge of the Divine Realm with over 100 Gods around him. He could only save this many of them. Besides, Wei Huo wanted to use this opportunity to do something.

“Let your minds go. Don’t resist!” Wei Huo stressed again. He focused on the fact that he had saved over 100 Gods.

The 100-odd Gods were resisting their lonely emotions, but these emotions were too terrifying. Their bodies were all in pain for some reason. It was not physical pain but mental pain. This was too painful. It was even more terrifying than physical pain. They wanted to hurt themselves and let the physical pain drown their souls, but… they did not have bodies!

However, under the circumstances, the Thinking Locks in their minds cracked slightly.

I can only do this much…

Wei Huo understood one thing after learning that Ye Yunxiao had escaped from the Thinking Lock with his own strength while jumping off the Void Battle Shuttle. It was possible for humans to escape from the Thinking Lock!

Even if the whole world was turned into NPCs, perhaps one or two people would wake up and escape.

Wei Huo rushed into the Divine Realm’s barrier with 100 Gods. A moment later, a notification popped up on the quest system. ‘You failed to guard the Divine Realm. Divine Realm One is about to be destroyed. Destruction countdown: 3 days, 12 hours, 57 minutes.’
