As Wei Huo was at a loss for words, the mysterious old man started explaining, “You didn’t expect that, did you? The time flow in two different places isn’t actually the same. The Divine Realm’s maximum speed is 100 times more than the human world’s. That’s why things change at 100 times the human world’s speed. According to the same logic, your reaction speed is 100 times more than it is in the human world. What is time? Time is the intuitive feeling that humans have for the speed of things… I was wrong. It’s actually God versus things.”
Wei Huo nodded and said, “I understand. A few thousand years have passed in the Human Realm, but hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the Divine Realm, right? Besides, the soul’s body has a longer lifespan.”
The mysterious old man was confused. “Longer lifespan? As long as one becomes a God, one will have an unlimited lifespan. Unless they are killed, a God will be able to live indefinitely. How can there be such a saying?”
Wei Huo scrunched his brows. “You’re not going to die? That’s impossible. I’ve already asked many Gods. An Epic-ranked God only has a lifespan of 8,000 years. A Legendary-ranked God has a lifespan of 30,000 years.”
The mysterious old man laughed. “Who are you listening to? I’m the first human to become a God. I’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I’m only at the Epic stage.”
Wei Huo was confused. In that case, there might be secrets hidden in the Divine Realm that he did not know about.
Wei Huo was planning to talk to the mysterious old man for a bit longer, but the mysterious old man seemed to sense something. He said in shock, “The Wang Family’s forbidden ground has been opened. What’s going on?”
Upon saying that, the mysterious old man flew in one direction. Wei Huo followed him, as a plotline was triggered. He saw a portal that was over 20 meters tall in the distance.
The mysterious old man was shocked. “What are they trying to do? Are they trying to release the Legendary Divine Beast that’s trapped in the forbidden ground?”
Wei Huo was surprised. Legendary? Was that the Final Boss?
Wei Huo followed the old man into the portal and saw a huge mountain. There was an enormous temple on the mountain. The stone stairs extended all the way from the temple’s entrance to the foot of the mountain. Two people were standing at the end of the stone stairs. One of them was Wang Teng’s Second Uncle, Wang Yi. Wei Huo had not seen the other person before, but he looked very similar to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was standing at the foot of the mountain. They maintained their posture and would not move. As soon as Wei Huo climbed the mountain, Wang Teng shouted toward the top of the mountain, “Uncle, there will still be hope if you turn around. If you continue moving forward, the Wang Family will have no way out!”
Wang Yi frowned. “Nephew, you are too rigid. If the Wang Family does not take this step, it will never rise again. It might even fall into the abyss forever!”
Upon seeing this scene, Wei Huo felt his teeth hurt. He told the mysterious old man, “Aren’t you going to say something?”
The mysterious old man floated up and shouted, “All of you unfilial descendants are sealed here in the era of Divine Beasts. How could you dare undo the seal?”
The three of them turned around simultaneously. “Who are you?”
Wei Huo was speechless.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
The mysterious old man glared at him and said, “Outrageous! Outrageous! It’s only been a few hundred thousand years, yet you guys have forgotten what the Old Patriarch looks like. Damn it! Damn it!”
Wei Huo scratched his head. “Only?”
Wang Yi sneered. “Where did this crazy old man come from? An Epic-ranked figure has actually lived for hundreds of thousands of years? Unless they are at the Mythical stage that transcends all achievements, no God can live that long.”
A trace of doubt flashed across the mysterious old man’s eyes as he asked loudly, “What exactly has the Divine Realm turned into? How can a spirit body have a lifespan? Could you have been tricked?”
