Wei Huo and Ma Tengyun's secret conversation did not last more than 30 minutes. No one knew what they had said in those short 30 minutes.
30 minutes later, Wei Huo left the meeting room. At that moment, he did not shake hands with Ma Tengyun or bid farewell to anyone. Instead, he headed to the underground area where the mechanical core was located.
The great moment would never be recreated. Fortunately, the guards had not deleted the photos from the camera they had seized.
Ma Tengyun sent him off silently. He did not speak, and no one dared to say goodbye. No one even waved goodbye.
Wei Huo arrived underground and saw the huge mechanical core. It was a mechanical brain connected to countless wires. Many staff members stopped what they were doing and watched him scan the entire mechanical core with a scanner.
Then, Wei Huo headed toward the west gate.
At that moment, a dark cloud floated over the sky and blocked the sunlight. The ground turned dark, and everyone's mood turned gloomy.
The west gate was filled with men, women, and children. Many people were looking into the city gate. An old woman was holding her granddaughter with one hand while holding her granddaughter with the other. Many 16-17 year old teenagers were standing on their tiptoes and watching.
Some pious people had already knelt down and kept praying. The Power of Faith flew into the sky and fused with the soul embryo.
Soon, several military vehicles drove out. Soldiers jumped out of the vehicles and stood on both sides. They held guns and maintained order.
Wei Huo finally walked out. Not far in front of him were two rocs and a coffin. Wei Sha was standing by the coffin, and Chen Xuanyue was sitting by the coffin. Her feet were swaying as they waited for Wei Huo.
The people on both sides stood up at the same time and watched Wei Huo leave quietly. However, many people knelt on the ground and cried silently.
Their God was about to leave, which made them sad.
Wei Huo left in the end. Chen Xuanyue landed on his shoulder and did not say anything. She just kept swinging her feet. Wei Huo walked away.
Wei Huo left. Some people seemed to want to chase after him and follow him for the rest of their lives. However, Wei Huo's team had already turned into a small dot. Ten seconds later, the dot disappeared completely.
No one could catch up to Wei Huo. Wei Huo's team moved faster and faster, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Some people wanted to follow this path, especially many powerful people. They thought that Wei Huo's trip to the west made sense. It might be a kind of cultivation.
However, the higher-ups sent a message claiming that Wei Huo had said it himself.
"You can't walk this path unless you're at the Epic stage. This is an ancient path to prove yourself and temper your Dao. Experts of all races walk this path. If you don't have the strength and realm of the Epic stage, you'll be sending yourself to death if you walk this path."
Some people thought that Wei Huo might not have said that. The higher-ups might have left such an excuse because they wanted the experts to stay.
However, none of this had anything to do with Wei Huo.
Wei Huo's team continued moving forward along the Dragon Vein under their feet. Wei Huo could feel the Dragon Vein, as the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Vein was constantly emitting and nourishing the ground.
He left for ten years.
In the past 10 years, Wei Huo had visited many human camps. There were humans and players among them.
When he encountered humans, he would assume his human identity. When he encountered players, he would simulate himself as a player.
Sometimes, Wei Huo thought that he might be the only human among players and the only player among humans. It sounded like he was both a player and a human, but in reality, he might not be a player or a human.
Wei Huo felt like he had become a third camp. He was a neutral observer.
Wei Huo did not stay in any camp for long. He always left after completing the transaction. Sometimes, he would choose to attack, but most of the time, he would wait and see.
Sometimes, Wei Huo would encounter Raiders. These Raiders would rob Wei Huo arrogantly, but he would kill them all.
Sometimes, Wei Huo would encounter kind people who would take the initiative to give Wei Huo some resources. Wei Huo would then trade them with some of the resources they lacked.
However, one thing was certain, and that was that humans were constantly rising. Their hunting grounds were constantly expanding, and their strength was constantly increasing. The friction between camps was also constantly increasing.
Wei Huo saw two camps fighting over a mining area. One side was completely destroyed, and the other side won.
Apart from humans killing each other, the threat of the Myriad Races was also intensifying.
At present, humans were not the only intelligent race in the Northern Continent. As long as an Epic-ranked creature was born in a race, that race would develop its own civilization. There would be fights and alliances between the races. This relationship lasted for a hundred years. Just like that, humans appeared out of nowhere!
The potential of the human race made all the races tremble in fear. Many of the higher-ups of the races believed that the human race was a threat that had to be eradicated. That was why monsters often attacked cities.
From time to time, Epic-ranked creatures would hunt humans. Over the past 10 years, Wei Huo had killed many Epic-ranked creatures. He had also gradually understood the situation by checking their memories.
The death of the Tyrannosaurus King, the death of the Naga's Great Ancestor, the broken arm of the Legendary-level honey badger, and the death of the Legendary Ant had dealt a huge blow to the Myriad Races Alliance. This made the Myriad Races Alliance realize that there were Legendary creatures among humans, and there might be more than one of them. This made the Myriad Races even more terrified. Usually, it was already impressive for a race to produce a Legendary creature. It was enough to be proud and become a giant race in the Northern Continent. After all, most races only had Epic-ranked creatures and no Legendary creatures.
However, there might be multiple Legendary creatures among the humans. That was too terrifying. Besides, the fear buried in their memories gradually surfaced. In the legends of the Myriad Races, humans were the incarnation of demons. Many races had such legends. It was said that humans were very terrifying and had once ruled this planet. However, they had been sealed and had disappeared for a period of time.
Now that the seal had been lifted, humans were about to ascend to the position of overlord again. If they did not work together to eradicate humans, the Dark Age of the Myriad Races would descend again.
This was a threat theory. The Myriad Races believed that humans were a threat to them and had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
That was why Epic-ranked creatures would occasionally hunt humans. If Wei Huo encountered them, he would suppress or kill them without hesitation. That was until a Legendary-level mutated cockroach appeared and fought Wei Huo for 13 days. To be precise, it had been chased by Wei Huo for 13 days before its body and soul were destroyed.
When this news spread, the Myriad Races were terrified. The few Legendary creatures did not dare cause trouble. Wei Huo's thunderous methods made them afraid.
However, some races believed that there were no Legendary creatures among humans. Only Legendary creatures of other races were helping humans.
For example, there was a Legendary creature among the Dog Race in the middle of the Northern Continent. She had retained a pair of ears and a tail. She had long hair and was no different from a human. She had said that the Dog Race wanted to get along with humans, which made the Myriad Races angry but helpless.
In addition, there was also the panda race in the southwest. There was an early Legendary creature in the race. All this time, this race had lived a peaceful life until a human recited the full text of the Tao Te Ching to him. Then, all the local humans had been protected by the panda race. The panda race
