Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo kept searching for the source. At first, the upstream story was not worth paying attention to. However, gradually, the upstream story became thrilling.

Wei Huo kept observing his ancestors. Some of them had almost been killed, some had become disabled, some had died after giving birth, and some had even gone insane.

However, some of them had enjoyed wealth and power. Some of them had been tyrannical, while others had been murderous.

However, most of them had lived ordinary lives. There had been no turmoil in their lives, but there was no doubt that they had left behind descendants.

Upon seeing this, Wei Huo realized how difficult it had been for him to be born. His ancestors had reversed countless situations of certain death and had even been hunted down as infants. However, they had all survived. That was unbelievable. However, as long as one saw the ending, it would not seem surprising. Wei Huo had become a God. It was impossible for his ancestors to die before giving birth to the next generation.

However, as the upstream story continued, all humans disappeared. There were no humans on Earth anymore. There were only homo erectus, but they encountered even more danger. However, no matter what kind of calamity occurred, the homo erectus—who were ancestors of Wei Huo—survived. It was as if they had obtained the halo of an undying cockroach.

No matter how difficult it was, the homo erectus would only die after giving birth. The same applied to the father of the couple.

Wei Huo kept flying upstream. He did not know how long he had been flying for.

A long, long time later, probably hundreds of millions or billions of years ago, Earth had yet to give birth to multicellular creatures. The ocean was filled with single-cell creatures.

As time flowed backward, Wei Huo saw another meteor fall from the sky. It seemed like the meteor had been the source of life.

Wei Huo followed the meteor and realized that it had come from a dead planet that still contained life.

The journey back was long, but Wei Huo was not in a hurry. As time passed and Wei Huo kept moving upstream, he saw the moment the world he had been born in was born. However, there was nothing before that moment, as this world had been born in an imagination space, which was also the Void Realm. As long as something involved the Void Realm, there was no record of it in the River of Time.

This was enough to show that the so-called River of Time had still been created by imagination. In that case, this River of Time was definitely not the real River of Time.

We still haven’t left the story!

Wei Huo thought about it and returned to the end of the long River of Time. He had not found the source, but he had understood everything. A long time should have passed since the end of the story, but Wei Huo had not disappeared.

This meant that either the Transcendent Faction had succeeded, the Continuance Faction had succeeded, or his guess had been right. This river was not the real main storyline, so the story had not ended.

However, when Wei Huo arrived at the end of the river, he saw Xiao Cheng, who was now motionless.

Wei Huo was confused. Xiao Cheng’s life fluctuation had disappeared, and so had his Rule fluctuation. He looked like a dead person.

However, when Wei Huo’s Rule Power touched Xiao Cheng, it did not affect him. An unknown force was protecting him. No, rather than saying that a force was protecting him, it would be more accurate to say that everything had been halted. That was why Wei Huo could not affect him.

Xiao Cheng had stopped moving. Wei Huo observed Xiao Cheng carefully, but he did not find any Rule Waves.

The situation seemed to have changed ever since he had left. Even an existence like Xiao Cheng had been halted. What had happened in this world? Besides, this was the Void Realm!

Wei Huo thought about it. This time, he returned to the Underworld. The Underworld was still the same. Nothing had changed, but everything in the Underworld was as still as Xiao Cheng.

A time halt?

Wei Huo frowned. He had rarely frowned ever since he had become a God, as he had never encountered anything he could not deal with. However, this time, he frowned. The whole world, even the Void Realm, had stopped. It was as if he had been stuck in a movie.

No, rather than saying that he was stuck in a movie, it would be more accurate to say that the movie was over. The movie had reached its end, so the images naturally stopped moving and the sound stopped playing. Everything was over.

However, the world had not disappeared. Instead, it had stopped. Everything, including the movement of the stars, the movement of the star system, and the movement of the universe, had stopped.

Is this what will happen after the story ends?

Wei Huo could not understand the current situation. The story had ended, and everything had stopped. Unless the story continued, everyone would stay like this forever.

However, why had he not been stopped? Had he not been part of this story from the beginning?

That was weird!

Wei Huo wanted to find the reason behind this. He returned to the River of Time and the place where he had gone against the flow. He had left the coordinates there, so he could go back. He wanted to continue moving against the flow. He wanted to find the source and figure out all the problems!

However, as he kept moving forward, he suddenly met someone who was also moving against the current. Wei Huo was very familiar with that person, as it was Lu Qiqi.

Unfortunately, Lu Qiqi had been stopped as well. She had been stopped above the River of Time with a determined look in her eyes. She had made the same choice as Wei Huo. She had chosen to explore the source. Perhaps she had chosen to go upstream instead of downstream when she had first discovered the River of Time. That was why Xiao Cheng, who had been guarding the River of Time, had not encountered her.

However, no matter what had happened, Lu Qiqi had been stopped. As a result, Wei Huo could not get any information from her.

However, Wei Huo realized that Lu Qiqi was holding an unfolded piece of paper in her hand. There was a line of words on the paper.

Although time had stopped, one could indeed use this method to leave a message. However, that was only if someone had not been stopped.

Wei Huo looked at the note. The message was:

“Go to the source of time. You can leave this world from there!”

Wei Huo was a little surprised. He wondered how Lu Qiqi had found out about this. However, Wei Huo knew that he could not ask the halted Lu Qiqi, so he could only continue traveling.

Wei Huo continued moving along the stream. However, it was as if he was shouldering the fate of the world. He was the only one in the world who could move. As long as he left this world, perhaps he could continue the story.

However, it was also possible that he would not be able to save this world because he would die instantly after leaving this world. No one knew what it was like outside the world.

Wei Huo kept moving forward. He did not even know how much time had passed. It might have been millions of years, hundreds of millions of years, or even an instant.

Wei Huo saw a ray of light ahead. It was a ray of sunlight from the outside world and the sun outside the brain.

That might be the way out of this world!

Wei Huo rushed out!
