Chapter 339 - A Long Time Has Passed (1/2)

The old man started climbing the mountain while surrounded by his attendants. Behind him were a few young land dwellers. There were both men and women among them, and they all followed him respectfully.

The old man said, “Little Five, Little Six, come with me. The others will stay back and wait.”

Two land people walked out. They were a man and a woman who looked like they were 18 or 19 years old. They supported the old man and climbed the mountain together.

The old man spent a much longer time climbing the mountain than the previous humans. Some residents stationed near the volcano surrounded him. They were stunned when they saw the old man’s face.

The attendants carved a path in the crowd. The old man smiled kindly at the residents.

A child suddenly said, “Grandpa Leader, there are devils on the mountain. Don’t go!”

The old man smiled. “They aren’t devils.”

For countless years, the top of the mountain had been a forbidden zone. People said that the mineral resources on the mountain were richer. There were piles of gold there, and the mouth of the volcano was a lake formed by Soul Refining Water. There was endless wealth waiting for them there, but no one could reach the top.

This was not just because ordinary people could not reach the peak of the 30-kilometer mountain. More importantly, the aura of the peak of the Legendary stage prevented them from reaching the peak. Wei Huo was guarding the peak alone. No one could reach the peak with him around.

However, the old man was an exception. He led the two young land dwellers up the mountain. The aura of the peak of the Legendary stage gave them a chance to walk up easily.

When the old man arrived at the peak with the two land people, they saw Wei Huo. Wei Huo had not changed at all. He was still sitting cross-legged, just like before. Time had not left a single trace on his body.

The old man said, “It’s been 3,000 years. My eldest brother is dead. I’ll be inheriting the position of the leader.”

Wei Huo opened his eyes. There was no trace of gold in them. His eyes were black and white, like a baby’s eyes. When he saw the old man in front of him, he thought of an Atlantean who had lived in the land world for 50 years, Zhang Li. Back then, he had been a young man around only 500 years old. He had not expected him to become so old.

The old man said, “My eldest brother still hadn’t broken through to the peak of the Legendary stage, but his lifespan was exhausted. He’s dead. He can’t fulfill his promise now.”

Wei Huo looked at the two young land people behind the old man and said, “Did you take away a group of land people?”

The two young individuals were terrified. Although they were both land dwellers, they were more afraid of Wei Huo and were closer to the old man.

They were wearing specially-made protective suits that could ensure their survival. Otherwise, Earth would not allow them to survive. They would not even be able to breathe.

The old man said, “I brought a group of children from the land. That way, even if the migration failed, we could still save our race. However, if my eldest brother had listened to my suggestion, perhaps our relationship would not have been so tense now.”

Wei Huo said, “There’s no difference. I still wouldn’t have let you pass.”

The old man shook his head. “I’m not asking you to let us pass. I came here to tell you two things. One, my eldest brother is dead. Two, I will carry out my eldest brother’s oath. When I break through to the peak of the Legendary stage, I will fight you fairly and defeat you.”
