Chapter 340 - 10,000 Years (1/2)

The middle-aged man led his wife to the temple. This was their first time there. Under the guidance of the Oracle in the temple, they arrived at the place where Wei Huo was meditating.

It was a barren piece of land, but Wei Huo was sitting cross-legged there quietly. No one had come to disturb him. The Oracles had built a tall wall to prevent ordinary people from entering. Even they were not allowed to enter this place.

The middle-aged man and his wife did not seem like ordinary people. They were led to Wei Huo by the temple’s abbot. Then, he retreated, leaving the three of them alone.

The couple observed Wei Huo closely. Wei Huo had not changed at all. It was as if everything had happened yesterday. At that moment, Wei Huo opened his eyes, which were as dark as ink and as deep as night. He saw the couple and realized that the middle-aged man looked like Zhang Li.

The middle-aged man said, “Ancestor, I’m Zhang Yi. My grandfather, Zhang Li, has passed away. I’m the new clan leader of the Skyfall Race.”

From a certain perspective, it was not wrong of Zhang Yi to address Wei Huo as Ancestor. After all, Wei Huo had lived for far too long. Now, the land dwellers and the Atlanteans had started getting married. They were no longer segregated.

Wei Huo realized that there were wounds on Zhang Yi’s arms and neck. It seemed like there had been internal strife in the clan over the years.

Wei Huo asked, “How many years has it been?”

Zhang Yi said respectfully, “Ancestor, 5,000 years have passed.”

Time had indeed passed too quickly. Unbeknownst to him, 5,000 years had passed. Wei Huo did not sigh too heavily. He just asked, “Are you here to fulfill your grandfather’s promise?”

Zhang Yi said, “Yes, I will take over my grandfather’s promise. I will cultivate to the peak of the Legendary stage and fight you fairly.”

Wei Huo was silent. The same promise had been passed down for three generations. He had not expected that so much time would pass.

Wei Huo closed his eyes and said, “I’ll wait.”

Zhang Yi and his wife descended the mountain. His wife asked, “First, are you sure you can break through to the peak of the Legendary stage? You’re only at the middle stage of the Legendary stage.”

Zhang Yi said, “No.”

His wife got worried. “You only obtained the position of the clan leader after a long battle. Many people are not convinced by you. If you can’t take back the divine weapon…”

Zhang Yi said, “Although I don’t have the confidence to enter the peak of the Legendary stage, I am confident that I can kill the Ancestor. Even though he’s at the peak of the Legendary stage, he only has a maximum lifespan of 7,000 years. He was already over 2,000 years old 5,000 years ago. Although he looks very young, he’s actually very old now, right? He’s about to die…”

Zhang Yi left with his wife. They were confident that they could kill Wei Huo, but they did not know that Wei Huo had obtained a lifespan of 3,000 years because of the BUG. That was why he could live for up to 10,000 years.

Ancient people used to often greet the emperor by saying, “Long live Your Majesty.”

However, no emperor could live forever. Only deities could live for a long life, and Wei Huo was still one step away from becoming a deity.

Zhang Yi left confidently but returned after 1,000 years. He asked Wei Huo in exasperation, “Why aren’t you dead yet? How long can you live?”

Wei Huo told him, “Break through to the peak of the Legendary stage and defeat me. There’s no other way!”

Zhang Yi replied angrily, “I don’t believe it. The peak of the Legendary stage only provides a 7,000-year lifespan. You can’t break this rule!”
