Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 382
Chapter 382: Transcendence
It was difficult to imagine a time when people had lived on this planet. One second there was the equivalent of millions or even tens of millions of years in the outside world. Could Legendary creatures who had lived there for thousands of years have been born since the Big Bang?
What was even more terrifying was that ever since this place had been discovered, an endless stream of battleships had descended there. Battleships descended almost every second. In other words, were the residents of this place fighting battleships every second?
How powerful were they?
As the black-and-white Titan was preparing to land, more than 10 peak Legendary creatures flew up with divine artifacts in their hands. Some of the battleships blocking their path had been completely cleared.
It was obvious that they valued Wei Huo and the Snake God. They had naturally discovered the two people on the black-and-white Titan.
At that moment, an endless stream of fleets from various civilizations descended. Countless indigenous people would fly up and fight with those fleets. Some of them would die in battle, and once they died, they would fall from the sky.
The ten-odd peak Legendary creatures surrounded the black-and-white Titan with their divine artifacts. They shouted in a language that Wei Huo could not understand. At the same time, they used spiritual waves. Wei Huo and the Snake God immediately understood what they meant.
They were saying, “Perfected cultivators of the outer realm, why have you descended on this planet? If you don’t answer, we will use our clan’s level-nine divine artifact!”
Perfected?
Wei Huo and the Snake God were both interested in this term. However, Wei Huo asked, “Can you tell us who you are?”
A peak Legendary creature said, “It seems like you guys are descendants of ancient humans. Speaking of that, we have some connections. Unfortunately, we are not from this world. Or rather, we are not creatures of the Restart Era.”
The peak Legendary creature said many words that Wei Huo and the Snake God did not understand. Wei Huo could not help but feel curious. He thus said, “Instead of fighting, we want to communicate with you. You seem to know a lot of things that we don’t.”
The peak Legendary creature said, “Please deactivate the level-five divine artifact under your feet. A divine artifact in the hands of a Perfected cultivator is very terrifying. If you don’t deactivate it, we will not let our guard down.”
Wei Huo said, “Indeed, divine artifacts can be more useful in our hands.”
After saying that, Wei Huo pointed at his feet. The black-and-white Titan stopped spinning, and the waves of godhood stopped spreading.
At that moment, the other peak Legendary creatures let out a sigh of relief. However, they did not put down their divine artifacts. They could only feel at ease when facing a Mythical creature. Wei Huo could even feel that a super divine artifact buried in the planet was stirring.
It seemed like the so-called time fault had been caused by this level-nine divine artifact. The dead zone in the universe seemed to be related to God, and so was this place.
Although the black-and-white Titan had stopped moving, the four-dimensional space inside it was still stable. It was just that the gigantic Divine Artifact was no longer releasing Godhood Energy.
At that moment, a Titan battleship was destroyed in the sky. It was a divine artifact battleship created by a level-four civilization by using crude methods. It was at most a level-one divine artifact, so it was very fragile. It was destroyed in a few moments by a peak Legendary creature with a level-two divine artifact.
The peak Legendary creature didn’t waste any materials. Instead, he collected all the divine materials. As for the creatures in the Titan battleship, they were allowed to descend.
Wei Huo asked, “Have you never thought of leaving this place?”
A peak Legendary creature who was wary of them said, “Leave? No, we’re from the previous Restart Era. We’re not recognized by this world. Once we leave, we’ll die. We can only leave when the universe outside is about to be destroyed and find a new pure land.”
The Snake God thought for a moment and said, “I see. If you use a time artifact, time will flow very quickly in the outside world. It won’t take long for you to last until then. As for these fleets, to be honest, even a Mythical creature can’t do anything to you, right?”
The peak Legendary creature said, “You’re right. We originally thought that there were no people at the Perfected level in this world. After all, over the years, the ones who descended were ants who relied on external objects but were not very powerful. However, we didn’t expect that there would still be Mythical creatures in this world. This is worth being vigilant about.”
Wei Huo’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “Since you guys have a level-nine Divine Artifact, don’t you have a Mythical creature in your race? Or did the Mythical creatures in your race leave this place and travel the cosmos?”
The peak Legendary creature’s expression froze. Then, it said, “How is that possible? As long as one is not from this world, even someone at the Perfected level can’t travel around freely. In the Restart Era, all the cultivators at the Perfected level died in battle during the escape.”
Wei Huo and the Snake God were shocked. They immediately asked, “What do you mean?”
The peak Legendary creature said, “You guys should have sensed it, right? Although Perfected cultivators can live as long as the heavens, there will come a day when this world will reach its end. Then, not only will the Gods in the world die, but even cultivators as strong as Perfected Cultivators will die along with the world in this Restart Era.”
The Snake God took out the pocket universe. He suddenly understood what restarting was all about. The universe would decline, but it could also be restarted. It was just like a car. When a car was old enough that it could not be used, it could only be destroyed. Then, one could use the new materials one had obtained to create a new means of transportation.
The peak Legendary creature then said, “You guys will know sooner or later. In order to prevent you from peeking at this place, I’ll tell you guys in advance. A universe is the most fragile when it’s about to be destroyed. Then, you Perfected cultivators will have the chance to attack the world barrier and escape. If you really can escape, you will be considered to have obtained true freedom. Then, no matter what happens in this universe, it will have nothing to do with you.”
Wei Huo’s eyes focused, and the Snake God frowned. The peak Legendary creature said, “Yes, you’re wasting your time by staying here. One second here means that tens of millions of years will pass outside. You’re people of this world. You don’t have to worry about what this world will do to you, so hurry up and improve your strength. That way, you’ll have a chance to escape when the universe is destroyed!”
