Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 147 - : The Master



Chapter 147: The Master

It was not a small city. When Wei Huo returned there, he saw many buildings protected by the golden light. There were people everywhere on the commercial streets. Even after 500 years, most of the city was still in its original state. However, the biggest weakness of the city was that it was not a safe zone.

The deserted streets were occupied by weeds. The golden buildings were surrounded by trees and dangerous creatures. It was difficult for humans to survive in such an environment, but no matter how difficult it was, the city should not be as dead as it looked now.

There were no living animals in this area, only plants.

Wei Huo did not need to look. His Nirvana Domain could sense any kind of life force.

He understood everything when he landed outside his neighborhood.

A zombie dog was loitering near the gate of the neighborhood. The zombie dog was not small, but it had lost its life. Its soul had disappeared, and it could only control its body instinctively.

The commotion caused by Wei Huo’s fall startled it. It rushed toward Wei Huo but stopped when it was about three to four meters away from him.

It shook its head and walked past Wei Huo.

Wei Huo stroked his chin. Am I being ignored? Or am I being treated as one of them?

Wei Huo was not surprised that a zombie dog had appeared. Hundreds of years ago, a creature named ‘zombie deer’ had evolved in nature. Zombie deer attacked all living creatures. Sometimes, they would even use their deer horns against trees for half a day.

The creatures that were attacked and injured by them would have a chance of being infected by the ‘zombie virus’. They would then attack living creatures like the zombie deer. Wei Huo would usually refer to these creatures as zombie beasts.

The zombie deer was as terrifying as the self-exploding sheep. They were not strong, but if one was injured or eaten by them, there was a chance that one could be infected with the virus.

Wei Huo had encountered such a situation hundreds of years ago. The creatures in a large area had been infected by the virus and turned into zombie beasts. Wei Huo had spent some time killing them when they had provoked him.

Wei Huo glanced at the zombie beast. It was a level-one zombie beast, and its strength was similar to a normal beast’s. However, zombie beasts could not feel pain, and one could not escape from them. They were stronger than normal creatures.

The zombie beast did not provoke Wei Huo. This was probably because Wei Huo was emitting an aura of nirvanic extermination. Wei Huo ignored it, as he knew that the zombie beast would not exist for long.

As time passed, the bodies of zombie beasts would slowly rot, and their muscles would shrink and rot. Soon, they would not be able to walk. They would quickly fall to the ground and wait for microorganisms to decompose them. When there was only a skeleton left, the virus would also die.

However, there was a prerequisite: They could not eat. Their digestive system was still useful. As long as they ate fresh flesh, their decay speed would slow down.

If someone was powerful and bored, they could choose to raise a zombie beast. If they could tame it, it could help them kill monsters.

Wei Huo walked into the neighborhood and saw a few zombie beasts. They were howling, but a level-two zombie beast ran over and fled in another direction.

A level-two zombie beast was a zombie beast created by two zombie beasts that had merged through the virus. Its strength was comparable to a Rare-ranked creature’s, and it had the combat power and build of two zombie beasts. At the same time, it had the characteristics of two zombie beasts.

The level-two zombie beast did not find Wei Huo. Wei Huo walked up to the building in his neighborhood and opened the door. His domain spread out and started scanning the entire space.

After scanning it, he thought of the words his parents had often told him. “Little Huo, Daddy and Mommy will leave you one day. You have to decide things for yourself and survive by yourself. However, if you fail, you can return home anytime. If we’re not around, you can hide in our secret hideout. There are things there that can give you strength!”

At this thought, Wei Huo thought of a famous historical work of literature called ‘My Family’s Book of Heaven’. It described a young man whose parents had both died after going out to work. The young man was in a pathetic state. Not only was his girlfriend stolen by someone else, but he was also beaten up by a rich second-generation love rival. He even broke his right hand, which interrupted his career as a professional cartoonist. Soon after that, the main character returned to his hometown. In the end, he discovered that his hometown was long out of repair and the wooden beam in his home had broken. Fortunately, the Wordless Heavenly Book hidden on the wooden beam had dropped. From then on, the main character had the perfect life of someone who acted cool and slapped people’s faces.

Wei Huo lifted his head. His home was a steel concrete structure with no wooden beams. However, the scan of his domain worked. Wei Huo arrived at his parents’ bedroom. He lifted the bed and saw an iron box.

It was there indeed!

Wei Huo squatted down and opened the iron box while thinking, My parents must have definitely left me a key cultivation technique or item so that I can counterattack when I have no other options!

Wei Huo opened the iron box and found a letter. He raised his brows. This letter must be very important!

Fortunately, people had been living in this building when the time halt had come to an end. As a result, the entire building was protected by the golden light. After all, if only one floor or one room had been protected, such a building would definitely not have existed for 500 years! If one did not protect the entire building, one would be buried in soil when the time halt ended.

Wei Huo slowly opened the letter. He thought that his parents must have left him an amazing cheat. However, he was stunned when he opened the letter.

“Humans must be down-to-earth. It’s unrealistic to fantasize about things. There are no supermen in this world. There are only countless ordinary people and peaceful mortals. Failure and setbacks are only temporary. You will only succeed if you don’t fear challenges and difficulties!”

Wei Huo was confused.

You killed six to seven punks with one look, yet you are telling me there are no supermen in this world?

Wei Huo continued reading.

“Father and Mother do not wish for you to become a mighty figure. We only wish for you to live a peaceful and healthy life. The fact that you can read this letter means that you already know about us. Please don’t be sad or afraid. You’re an adult. It’s time for you to leave the nest and spread your wings.”

Wei Huo could not help but sigh when he read this. Many parents wanted their children to become dragons and phoenixes, but his parents wanted him to live a normal life. Extraordinary people were distressed. His parents probably did not want him to be as distressed as them.

“Child, don’t blame us. When you were very young, we hired a highly-respected Master to help you change your luck and allow you to live a normal life. However, since you are reading this letter, it means that you have recently encountered an obstacle that you cannot overcome. If you really can’t solve this problem, open the second letter. However, you have to be careful. If you open that letter, you will never be able to return to your normal life!”

Wei Huo finally understood why his presence was so weak. It was because this Master had changed his luck.

However, none of that mattered now. Wei Huo opened the second letter and almost vomited blood when he read the first line.

The first line of the second letter was, “I’m the Master!”
