"Can you climb up by yourself?"
After resting for a while, Li Ke recovered some of his strength. He looked at the man who had returned to his original state and asked his question.
He didn't have the time to save this guy, let alone take care of him. Because of this guy, he was warned by the flow of time and lost a lot of his power.
Besides, the people who came to climb this mountain should have some idea of what was going on, so he was in no position to continue helping this man.
"No, but someone will come to save us."
The man took a few deep breaths. He took out a tube from his belt and muttered a few words. Then Li Ke saw thick smoke coming out of the tube and a very fragrant smell.
Seeing Li Ke's curiosity, the man introduced the tube to Li Ke.
"This is the spice of the Shurima Tribe. As long as I use my mysterious means to ignite the spice, my eagle will find me and inform my people."
After he finished speaking, Li Ke heard the cry of an eagle. He also saw that the oil paint on the man's body was in the shape of an eagle. This man was obviously a talkative person. Compared to the people of this era, he could be considered to have an extraordinary bearing.
At least, the old man who forced the girl who looked like the zither girl to sacrifice didn't have this kind of temperament. The man also thought the same. He had never seen Li Ke in such luxurious clothes, and he had never seen anyone with Li Ke's temperament.
He instinctively felt that Li Ke was a powerful warrior, so he reached out his hand to Li Ke.
"I come from a tribe outside the mountain. This time, I came to bring my daughter to the sacrifice. You saved me, and I will repay you. "
"No need."
Li Ke shook his head and looked at the man deeply. If he guessed correctly, this man would inherit the eagle's job and kill those who would have died on the eagle's back. This wouldn't cause any more trouble.
This was where his power came from.
He looked at the black spots in the sky, took a deep breath, and continued to climb. The man looked at Li Ke anxiously. He wanted to stop Li Ke from continuing to climb. After all, he really wanted to make friends with Li Ke.
While they were at it, they could also pull Li Ke into their tribe and sleep with his wife and daughter to see if they could leave a seed or something.
This wasn't a rare case. A burly warrior like Li Ke would be treated like this no matter which tribe he was in. He had been forged by the divine power of the gods. Not only did his body have strong muscles, but his appearance was also exceptionally perfect. He could naturally attract all humanoid creatures.
His seed was very valuable in this timeline.
Although it was just as valuable in his timeline.
No matter how the man below shouted, Li Ke didn't mean to stop. His figure quickly disappeared from the man's sight.
After Li Ke climbed for about half an hour, he saw a group of people carefully climbing down on a relatively wide platform. They were obviously preparing to rescue the man.
Li Ke's arrival caused a commotion. Then when Li Ke climbed up the platform that obviously had other paths, a young girl with beautiful blonde hair came out and looked at Li Ke with a worried face.
She didn't know who this god-like warrior in front of her was, but she was sure that she had never seen such a heroic and strong warrior. In front of him, the boastful clansmen in her tribe were like clowns.
"The one over there, you … have you seen a man? He is my father."
Li Ke tightened his cloak. Without divine power, he felt cold and tired again, so the cloak was very important.
"I saw him. He is below, waiting for your rescue."
Li Ke answered her, then raised his head to look at the Giant God Peak above him.
The air here was very thin. Although the surrounding mountains helped to block the wind and snow, so there was no trace of snow, the temperature here was as bad as the air. Even if the physical fitness of the people in this world would become very strong with training, but to be able to get so many people to rescue him, it was clear that his status was not low.
But how long more did he have to climb?
Li Ke recalled the mountain peaks he had seen, but in the end, he got a speechless answer.
There was still at least two-fifths of the way!
He didn't have the problem of falling, nor did he stop for too long. Moreover, he was moving forward by relying on the vertical peaks.
But after climbing for an entire day, he had only climbed half of the way up. For those who didn't have a strong body like him, this kind of journey was equivalent to certain death.
"That's great, then I can serve the gods with peace of mind …"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Ke again. She sighed inwardly. If she hadn't become a sacrifice to the gods, she would definitely have kept this warrior in her tribe and let his bloodline strengthen their tribe.
Not to mention other things, just climbing up from that place without using a road was enough to prove his ability.
"But can I ask for your help to save my father? If it is you, you should be able to save my father very quickly, and as a reward … "
But the blonde girl clearly didn't have the intention to end like this. She looked around and waved in a direction. Then, a girl who looked eighty percent similar to her obediently came to her side.
"I am about to serve the gods, so I can't repay you personally. So, I will make the decision on behalf of my father and give my sister to you as a reward. How about it?"
There was a faint unwillingness in her voice. She actually didn't want to serve the gods, because those who served the gods couldn't return to the human world. And after she left, the future successor of her tribe would be her arrogant idiot who couldn't see the situation clearly.
If the future of the tribe was handed over to him, he would only destroy their tribe and kill all the other brothers and sisters to consolidate his power. So she was very unwilling to become a sacrifice, but she had no choice. She was chosen.
So when she saw her father fall into the valley, and saw the smile on her brother's face, she actually despaired of the future of her tribe and family. She couldn't help but think that if she wasn't a sacrifice, if the gods didn't need them as sacrifices, how good would it be?
She could give birth to a dozen smart, strong, and beautiful children for the tribe when she had the strength. She could also lead the tribe to hunt, defeat other tribes, and strengthen her own tribe.
Her brother only knew how to fight, and nothing else.
Why did she have to become a sacrifice? She could clearly let the people of the tribe live a better life.
Her heart was filled with unwillingness, but she didn't know how to make the unwillingness in her heart disappear. Because although she had doubts about the gods and faintly wanted to get rid of the identity of a sacrifice, she also admitted the necessity of sacrifice.
So, she really wanted Li Ke to save her father and save her sister.
"No need."
Li Ke continued to walk forward.
"Then I swear in the name of Sitaka, when I reach the gods, I will try my best to put in a good word for you in front of the gods, so that you can get what you want. How about that? After all, you went to the sacrificial site in such a way, I think you must be very devout to the gods and have a desire for the gods, right? "
The girl hurriedly stopped in front of Li Ke. She anxiously said her thoughts, wanting to save her father as soon as possible.
Li Ke was also stunned when he heard the girl's self-description. He carefully looked at the girl's appearance and compared it with the one in Yatoku's memory. He found that although the temperament and appearance of the two were different, the one in Yatoku's memory was more mature.
However, that kind of arrogance, that kind of attitude of being at the peak, was exactly the same. That future martial empress and the young girl in front of him, in this aspect, were basically exactly the same.
"… Sitaka?"
This name was the founder of the Shurima Empire. If the other party was really the martial queen, then there was no doubt that she would survive the subsequent sacrificial ritual and obtain the method to master the power of the Dragon King.
Obviously, the gods chose this girl as the spokesperson of this world and made Shurima their experimental site to make all life in the universe become gods.
The time and events also matched. It was obvious that the other party was most likely the martial queen that Yatoku couldn't forget.
So, is it good for me?
Li Ke frowned, and the girl saw that his expression finally changed. She happily took Li Ke's hand and continued to persuade him.
"And if you want to go to the top of the mountain, it's absolutely impossible if you don't have food on you. As long as you are willing to help me save my father, I am willing to give you enough food and let you walk with us on the road. After all, you don't want to keep climbing the mountain, do you?"
She smiled and continued to persuade him.
"And the top is an ice mountain. There is no way to climb it, so if you want to go up faster, it will be faster to walk with us on the road … You should be very tired, right?"
She could feel that Li Ke's hand was trembling slightly, which was an obvious sign of exhaustion. Li Ke was also aware of this. If he sucked away the vitality of the people here, there would be no such trouble, but obviously, he couldn't do that.
With the influence of Sitaka, if he did that, he would be eliminated from this world by time.
That wasn't something that could be compared to the attack of the gods. It was the attack of the entire world.
Those who were not great beings at the level of a single universe could just take a nap. There was simply no possibility of resisting.
But even if he was a little tired, he didn't need to move forward with these people. They were really too slow.
"No, I still have something to do."
After he finished speaking, he decided to continue moving forward, but at this time, he noticed that something was wrong. The girl's body was no longer moving, and everything around her was the same.
Then, the god he saw in the time tunnel suddenly appeared beside him and wanted to grab the doll in his arms.
"Is the distortion point of time here?"
He was deep in thought, and he didn't notice that Li Ke could still move. Li Ke also stopped moving and let the god take the doll in his arms.
"But what is going on? Why would such a problem suddenly appear in the smooth flow of time? The person who made this doll should be dead by now. The giant eagle that ate him should be the thing that killed those people, but why did he suddenly become the one who killed those people? And he still lived? "
The god of time was puzzled. He tried hard to figure out what caused the originally smooth flow of time to have a singularity and used the power of the person who was suspected to have killed him to fill in the gap.
His future was really using the power of time to satisfy his selfish desires. Was that why he was killed?
He frowned. After knowing his mission and power, he made a lot of defensive measures to ensure that he wouldn't lose himself because of the great power and do something terrible. However, he was also worried that those ambitious people would have thoughts about time, so he made more defensive measures.
Now, he was wondering whether it was himself or an unknown enemy who did it.
After all, the power of time could make the whole world collapse if he wasn't careful, so he felt that it was not too much to be careful.
"Damn it, who is it …"
He didn't know Li Ke now. He was told about his death by his future self, so he came from an earlier place to avoid his own death. But no matter how many methods he used, he couldn't avoid seeing his own corpse in the time tunnel.
He instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy. A person who was determined to destroy the world had taken a fancy to the power of time, so he had to find out immediately.
"Since it's in this era, I naturally have to find those people who don't fit in … Although this person's clothes are too gorgeous in this timeline, there shouldn't be a problem."
He looked at the motionless Li Ke and didn't realize that he didn't stop time, so he shook his head and looked at the Giant God Peak in the distance.
"When the Dragon King is captured, it will be time for him to make a move. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something to Sertaka … It doesn't matter, I will find you and kill you directly."
He was full of himself and felt that he could immediately kill the guy who disturbed the timeline. So he stretched out his hand and summoned a doll that didn't have any power of time but looked exactly like the blood-stained doll and stuffed it back into Li Ke's arms.
But what made Li Ke almost unable to control himself was that this guy was not only blind, but also touched his chest and whistled at him after putting the doll away.
"…"
Calm down. You'll be able to kill him later.
That was what Li Ke told himself.
