Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Do You Know Your Parents?

The chat was in an uproar. The players were all discussing the two notifications sent by the system.

“Why was this Legendary creature killed in less than 10 seconds?”

“I was planning to observe the Legendary creature. I’m southeast of the Dragon-Soaring Continent.”

“Only Legendary creatures can kill Legendary creatures, right?”

Wei Huo did not know what was happening in the chat because he had already destroyed and absorbed the Thinking Lock.

The Tyrannosaurus King was eventually killed. He was not a true Legendary-ranked creature. Without the golden gem in his body, he could at most be considered an Epic-ranked creature. However, Wei Huo was different. Wei Huo had already become a Legendary-ranked creature. Thanks to the Nirvana Domain, all living creatures in his domain would die. After death, Wei Huo could obtain something called the Nirvana Qi. It was like a black Qi, but it was extremely powerful. It could directly harm the souls of living creatures.

Wei Huo retracted his Domain Force. The Thinking Lock had been shattered and absorbed by him, so no system notification would jump out to say that he was cheating. Besides, after absorbing the Thinking Lock, Wei Huo understood its function. He could now pretend to be an NPC and assign a quest to other players. However, that was all. He could not do anything else.

Of course, he could also mimic players, open the inventory, use the Pet System, accept quests, and obtain rewards. However, that was meaningless.

The ten basic skills and system panels were useful to weak newbies, but they were meaningless to Wei Huo. Right now, Wei Huo needed to walk the path of nirvanic slaughter. Just like a student of Death, he needed to continuously absorb the aura of nirvanic extermination and comprehend the rules of death until he became a real Death God who was at the Mythical stage.

Wei Huo landed on the ground and placed the Tyrannosaurus’ corpse in the incubator slot. He also placed the Tyrannosaurus’ golden soul gem in it. That way, there would be two Legendary creatures’ corpses and two golden soul gems in the incubation slot. Wei Huo then let another drop of his blood essence drip.

Now that five slots were filled, Wei Huo pressed the incubation button.

“The incubation begins. The incubation will be completed in 312 days, 21 hours, and 54 minutes.”

Wei Huo received a message. Although the Thinking Lock had disappeared, he could still mimic the other players and use the Player System.

Two Legendary creature corpses, two golden soul gems, and a drop of Legendary-level blood essence could incubate into a terrifying creature.

46 years was not considered a long time. Wei Huo could keep waiting. He landed in front of the dying Tree-Man and asked, “How are you?”

The Tree-Man’s strength had been greatly reduced, and he was in a pathetic state. He had first been hit by the Hell Fire and then by Wei Huo’s domain. Half of his body was burned, but he was still optimistic. “Congratulations, you have become a Legendary-level creature!”

The Tree-Man checked his condition and said, “I’m fine. I’m still an Epic-ranked creature. The soul gem is intact. As long as it is inserted in the ground, it will recover. It just takes time.”

Then, the Tree-Man looked at the devastated land left behind by the battle between the two Legendary-level beings. He said, “Seeing the Legendary level with my own eyes gave me a lot of inspiration. I finally understand what I lack. I want to stay and use the Dead Tree Relieving Reincarnation Technique to choose my path again. Then, I will move forward until the Legendary stage!”

As the Tree-Man spoke, a special ability was emitted from his body. The withered grass around him suddenly regained its vitality and turned green again.

Wei Huo was surprised. “Is this a domain? A domain of life?”

The Tree-Man nodded with difficulty. “That’s right. I’ve figured it out. I understand what a domain is. It’s in line with your Nirvana Domain. My domain should be called Rejuvenation Domain, right? Although this is only an incomplete domain…”

The purple gem in the Tree-Man’s body was beginning to turn gold. He had really understood what a Domain was and what a Legendary creature was.

The Tree-Man told Wei Huo, “We will meet again in the legends of humans!”

The Tree-Man buried himself in the soil. Green grass grew around him all of a sudden. The grass was really conspicuous in that barren land. Upon seeing this scene, one could not help but feel that life and death were endless.

System Notice: ‘The Tree-Man left your merchant caravan.’

Wei Huo smiled as he flipped through the notification about his teammate leaving the caravan.

This is probably my path.

Wei Huo bid farewell to the Tree-Man and continued his journey. However, before long, System Number Two was turned on.

The system had said that the operation would start in 480 hours, which was 10 days. However, on the ninth day, System Number Two was suddenly turned on.

Wei Huo was a little surprised. He took out System Number Two and asked, “You’re finally turned on. System Number Two, I have something to ask you!”

A lazy person appeared on the screen of System Number Two. It said, “You’re really impressive! You destroyed the Thinking Lock within 10 seconds after triggering the anti-cheating system and returned it to yourself. In the end, you became a Domain-level expert. Unfortunately, you’ve already walked your own path. This path is destined to be lonely forever.”

Wei Huo narrowed his eyes. “You seem familiar with domains.”

System Number Two said, “Do you think you’re the first Domain Master in human history? Do you think all the myths in human history are just myths? Legends are only legends? Why did you translate the Demon Generals and Demon Kings of the Demon Realm into legends and myths? Do you know that this world was called the Human Realm at the beginning?”

The words of System Number Two opened up Wei Huo’s imagination. It seemed like in ancient times, humans had built a brilliant civilization. The various creatures described in the ‘Mountain and Sea Scripture’ were not fake. The Immortals described in the ‘Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic’ really existed.

However, everything in the world would eventually come to an end. It was like a cycle of life and death that never ended.

Wei Huo asked, “Do you know about the secret history? Do you know about the original brilliant culture of mankind? About an ancient civilization?”

A divine man appeared on the screen of System Number Two. “I’m a part of the human spirit community! Of course… I don’t know this. After all, the human spirit was born thousands of years ago. A few hundred years ago, the human spirit had the ability to judge and remember.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

So you don’t know? Then why are you acting all cool?

Wei Huo said, “Let’s not talk about that anymore. Tell me, where are my parents now?”
