Five Frozen Centuries

‘Longevity Skill, Level 0. The Player’s lifespan will increase by 200 years, and body recovery speed will be increased to a certain degree for each upgraded level. The highest level is Level 20.’

Wei Huo was stunned knowing the fact that he could increase his lifespan by 200 years with only one upgraded level. However, after some careful thought, Wei Huo thought it was not as strange. The God of Thunder Skill was also a cultivation skill. However, it could only increase the user’s combat power but not the destructive power. On the other hand, the Qi-Training Skill was considered a more moderate skill as it could increase the combat power, defense ability, as well as increase the lifespan. As for the Longevity Skill, it could increase a player’s lifespan and the body’s recovery speed after an injury.

Each of them had their own strengths.

The proficiency of all three Qi Cultivation Skills could be increased by consuming Qi and blood essences. However, the efficiency was too low. It would be more efficient to increase the proficiency by consuming the inner body’s Qi energy.

That was the difference of having a foundation and not having a foundation. The mediocre Qi-Training Skill was a crucial point.

Moreover, the cultivation efficiency would be boosted by 15% in that site. Although there was a time limit, and a large number of Magical Stones would be used up, Wei Huo would not want to waste this precious opportunity.

So, he decided to go hunt for Rare magical beasts in the morning, and returned to the cave to cultivate at night. He wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Wei Huo originally planned to kill the purple cat. After all, he could obtain one Magical Stone. However, after some considerations, he could prevent other weird creatures from invading to obtain the heritage with the purple cat’s protection. It could also guard the Cultivation Resources Spot.

So, Wei Huo did not kill it. He even brought leftover Rare magical beasts’ corpses for the purple cat. Gradually, he made friends with the purple cat.

Of course, Wei Huo felt that it was because the purple cat would not dare to provoke him. After all, not everybody had the guts to provoke a person who hunted Rare magical beasts every day.

Every day after Wei Huo came back from hunting Rare magical beasts, the purple cat would suck up to him. It would automatically come up to Wei Huo and rubbed its head against his leg. While drooling, it would look at Wei Huo who was carrying a magical beast’s corpse with its large dewy eyes.

Wei Huo hurled the corpse to it and warned. “Guard the place!”

The cat would instantly pounce on the corpse and relish its food. After finishing its food, it would return to its gigantic stone and doze off comfortably. It would wake up immediately whenever strange creatures accidentally entered the place.

Then, it would fool around with the animals for a bit, and eat them up ultimately!

Indeed, nothing could change the cat’s mischievous character. Just like how dogs could not change their... Ahem. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Wei Huo’s life of hunting during the day, and cultivating during the night lasted for over 20 years. It took up 20 years because he spent most of his time hunting Rare creatures.

However, he gained massive achievements in his cultivation throughout those 20 years. He reached Level 10 in Qi-Training Skill, Level 7 in God of Thunder Skill, and Level 5 in Longevity Skill.

It would be impossible for Wei Huo to reach those levels without the Cultivation Resources Spot.

Without the cultivation bonus, Wei Huo would have needed 60 to 70 years to reach those levels. After all, he needed to rest, and had to replenish himself with food and water.

Wei Huo’s combat skills had improved immensely after 20 years of massacring. Besides that, the level and proficiency of his God of Thunder Skill had also improved. He even self-developed numerous combat skills. All of those factors led to Wei Huo’s Attack Bar reaching 479.

Apart from that, Wei Huo’s realm which was similar to God View grew more proficient after his training. Wei Huo named it as the ‘Massacre Mode’ because Wei Huo’s eyes would turn bloody red under the realm’s influence and appeared similar to the animals that had gone frenzied. Moreover, he would not experience mood swings under that realm, allowing him to slaughter without any psychological burdens.

Seven Animal Frenzy incidents had broken out in that area over the past 20 years. However, Wei Huo could deal with the incidents without any injuries under the Massacre Mode. At the same time, he could also obtain a few Magical Stones.

His combat power also doubled under this realm. However, his attack bar did not change at all.

As the saying went, time flies and Wei Huo had not expected that 20 years already passed by. He only realized that when he received a notification from the Cultivation Resources Spot stating, ‘Maximum Cultivation Time Reached.’

God had started the second test about 20 years ago. The test was carried out in the Eastern continent, but Wei Huo had no intention of heading to the east.

First of all, he did not want to give up the Cultivation Resources Spot. Secondly, there was no point heading East as he would instead risk exposing himself to God. Moreover, although there were a bunch of artificial beings, he had no common understanding with them.

Wei Huo left the cave. He was very powerful now, but his rank was still Rare. Based on the logic that the strength of a Rare soul is 100 times the strength of a Normal soul, the strength of an Epic soul should be 100 times the strength of a Rare soul. Wei Huo was not up to that level yet.

However, he might be able to go against Epic-ranked creatures with his attack bar although he never encountered a real Epic-ranked creature yet.

‘There is still about 100 years left until the time halt ends. I should head back to the Northern continent now. First, there is a Cultivation Resources Spot that could boost a player’s cultivation speed by five percent. In addition, there is no time limit. Next, I have to build a shelter to protect my family and friends.’

Time had been halted for 200 years. It was the first time Wei Huo was heading back to the north.

A wave of emotions washed over Wei Huo as he thought of going back home. It was a kind of feeling one would not experience if they had never left home for many years.

‘Why go back? Because home is there.’

Wei Huo speculated that the temperature in the Northern continent had returned to room temperature because the Central continent was getting hotter. It was as though the sun was getting closer to the Earth.

The Earth’s gravitational force kept increasing. The area, volume, and density should be increasing too. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate the plants and animals with accelerated reproduction. Also, it would not be capable of withstanding the destruction from the powerful creatures’ battles.

Wei Huo had not understood the reason behind it, but since the physics laws of this world were set up by God. Whatever God had decided in, Wei Huo could not be bothered arguing.

The Northern and Southern continent would be the most suitable place for humans to survive if things went on like this. Wei Huo was just not sure if the Tree-Men had revived.

Wei Huo had not spent as much time heading north as compared to the time when he headed south. After all, Wei Huo was already familiar with everything. Moreover, his speed had increased with his current strength. He spent only 10 years to arrive at the camp where Lu Qiqi once was at. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

Many of the electrical appliances were damaged, and the foods had rotten ages ago. Only some equipment with high durability were barely in working conditions.

It so happened that those equipment were materials needed to build a ship.

The camp was not too far from the beach too.

Wei Huo went to the beach and after installing the blueprint for the ship, he started collecting the required materials.

Wei Huo only spent three months collecting all the materials as he was now familiar with shipbuilding. Moreover, there were a lot of ready-made materials in the camp.

Wei Huo took a few more looks at the Central continent after he finished building the ship. He then started the motor with his God of Thunder Skill, and finally embarked on his voyage to the Northern continent!
