The old man started climbing the mountain while surrounded by his attendants. Behind him were a few young mainlanders. There were both men and women among them, and they followed behind him respectfully.
The old man said, "Little Five, Little Six, follow me. The rest of you stay here and wait."
Two mainlanders walked out. They were a man and a woman who looked 18 or 19 years old. They supported the old man and climbed the mountain together.
The old man took much longer to climb the mountain than the humans who had come. Besides, some residents who lived near the volcanic crater surrounded him. They were stunned when they saw the old man's face.
The attendants separated the crowd, and the old man smiled kindly at the residents.
A child suddenly said, "Grandpa Leader, there are demons on the mountain. Don't go!"
The old man smiled. "That's not a demon."
For countless years, the top of the mountain had been a forbidden area. People had said that there were more minerals on the mountain. There were piles of gold there, and the volcanic crater was a lake formed by Soul Refining Water. Endless wealth was waiting for them there, but no one could reach the peak.
It was not just because ordinary people could not climb the 30-kilometer peak. More importantly, the aura of the peak of the Legendary stage prevented them from reaching the peak. Wei Huo guarded the peak of the mountain alone. With him around, no one could reach the peak.
However, the old man was an exception. He led the two young mainlanders up the mountain. The aura of the peak of the Legendary stage allowed them to walk up easily.
When the old man led the two mainlanders to the peak, they saw Wei Huo. Wei Huo had not changed at all. He was still sitting cross-legged like before. Time had not left a single trace on his body.
The old man said, "It's been 3,000 years. My Big Brother is dead. Now, I'll inherit the position of Leader."
Wei Huo opened his eyes. There was no longer a 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.
Zhang Li was a Atlantean who had lived on land for 50 years. Back then, he had been a young man who was only 500 years old. He had not expected him to become so old.
The old man said, "My Big Brother still failed to break through to the peak of the Legendary stage. His lifespan was exhausted and he died. He could not fulfill his promise."
Wei Huo looked at the two young mainlanders behind the old man and said, "Did you take away a group of mainlanders?"
The two young men were terrified. Although Wei Huo was a land person like them, they were more afraid of Wei Huo and closer to the old man.
They were wearing special protective suits that could guarantee their survival conditions. Otherwise, the current Earth would not have been able to allow them to survive, or even breathe.
The old man said, "I brought a group of mainland children with me. This way, even if the migration of the mainland people fails, the race can still continue. However, if Big Brother had listened to me back then, perhaps our relationship wouldn't be so tense now."
Wei Huo said, "There's no difference. I still won't let you pass."
The old man shook his head. "I won't ask you to let us pass. I came here to tell you two things. First, Big Brother is dead. Second, I will take Big Brother's oath. When I break through the peak of the Legendary stage, I will fight you fairly and defeat you."
Wei Huo closed his eyes and said, "I'll wait."
The old man left, but the two young mainlanders stayed behind. They became Wei Huo's attendants and started building houses and roads there. At the same time, they became husband and wife under Wei Huo's witness. Time started flying again.
The couple kept getting older, but they also had more and more children. There were also more and more houses on the mountaintop. In the end, the couple's lifespans were exhausted and they died. However, newborns were born continuously. A new cycle began on the volcanic peak.
The Atlanteans' spaceships could only land at the foot of the mountain. Only land people could go up the mountain, but they were not much different from the Atlanteans. They also used the Atlantean language and ate the Atlantean food. They often went down the mountain and communicated with other Atlantean residents. Some married the Atlanteans, but only pure land people could go up the mountain.
Soon, a new town appeared on the mountaintop. Wei Huo was enshrined in the temple and became the new God. He was worshiped by the residents living near the volcano.
The Power of Faith condensed into a new Wei Huo. Unlike the God in the Soaring Cloud City who had died young, this God had received sufficient nourishment and grown healthily.
Wei Huo had been there the entire time. He had closed his eyes, comprehended death, and comprehended reincarnation as he observed the world.
The residents of the Soaring Cloud City had gradually forgotten about Wei Huo after Wei Huo had left. That was why the God formed by faith had died again. However, things were different now. Wei Huo had been sitting cross-legged at the volcanic crater for thousands of years. The Atlanteans, who did not have that long of a lifespan, had already worshiped him like a God.
Humans had always admired people who could persevere. They admired people who had spent their entire lives running. They admired people who had been wronged and imprisoned and spent half their lives escaping from prison. They admired people who had devoted their entire lives to music. As a result, directors had earned a lot of money and people's tears by making movies about these people.
This was because humans themselves were creatures of perseverance. They persevered for the sake of survival, for the sake of family and marriage, for the sake of reproduction, and for the sake of "becoming a god."
That was why Wei Huo, who was still alive, had moved them and become their God. This was worship. It was the same for Laozi, the Headmaster, and Sakyamuni. It was even the same for Guan Yu and Yue Fei. Now, it was even more so for Wei Huo.
Even the leader of the Atlanteans had started worshiping Wei Huo, let alone the ordinary people.
They worshiped Wei Huo, who had not moved for thousands of years. However, Wei Huo's goal was only to comprehend the true meaning of 'annihilation' and break through to the Mythical stage. Wei Huo had no intention of becoming their God.
Countless years later, a middle-aged Atlantean with an extraordinary bearing arrived at the foot of the volcano. He was followed by a group of attendants, and beside him was a beautiful female land dweller. They were wearing wedding dresses that only Atlanteans would wear when they got married. They climbed the volcano while surrounded by a crowd.
Were they there to seek Wei Huo's blessing? To seek the blessing of an ancient person who had persisted for thousands of years?
The Atlanteans no longer distinguished between land dwellers and Atlanteans. They called themselves the Skyfall Tribe, and the difference between Atlanteans and land dwellers was not very obvious. The mercury spots on the Atlanteans gradually disappeared, and some changes had happened to land dwellers. Their physiques had also been strengthened.
Too much time had passed, and they had already begun a new round of evolution.
The newlyweds climbed the volcano. Among them, the man had an imposing appearance and an extraordinary bearing. The woman was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. They climbed the divine mountain together as if they wanted to obtain Wei Huo's blessing. After all, Wei Huo was considered the oldest person in the Skyfall Tribe.
