Inside the sarcophagus, Aaron opened his slightly confused eyes, and then said: "Now...has it come to the promised time?"
He felt his own weakness, but a trace of joy appeared on his face.
This is the feeling of an ordinary person, which means that everything is as expected, the spiritual energy in his body is exhausted, and he has turned back to a mortal.
As the ice dissipated, the last bit of light in the cave was swallowed up by darkness.
But not long after, a lantern was lit, and a dim yellow light shone all around.
Aaron looked at the bodies of the two people on the ground and pondered for a moment: "Grave robbers? They seemed to want to destroy the coffin, but they touched the last bit of ice that did not melt. What a tragedy. I still want to ask them something..."
"However, if you are not locked up somewhere as soon as you wake up, surrounded by a circle of extraordinary beings, or directly under the gaze of those beings, it should be considered a success, right?"
Aaron touched his growling stomach. He was hungry...
His eyes couldn't help but look at the two corpses.
A moment later, Aaron, wearing a blue labor uniform, crawled out of his grave. He was also holding a package in his hand, which contained the clothes and accessories he had changed.
Of course he wasn't looking at the two corpses for food. He had never planned to take the 'red' path.
Just from the other party's clothes, he knew that times must have changed dramatically.
When I go out wearing my old clothes, I feel like a zombie dancing in broad daylight - it's too eye-catching.
"The two worlds should be integrated smoothly... Then this world will definitely not lack extraordinary people, and I am just a weak and helpless ordinary person..."
"Ahem... Even if I have the power I once had, I probably won't be able to accomplish the feat of killing an entire country by one person, so I'd better keep a low profile... When I think about it, it's really a little regretful..."
"The most important thing to do when you wake up is to first observe your environment..."
Aaron looked up and saw a bright moon. A trace of sadness appeared on his face: "It was great that the bright moon was there back then. I should be glad that it was not crimson..."
The surroundings were dark, seemingly in the wilderness, but there was some light in the distance.
"It seems that I made some mistakes at the beginning. The location I chose was not remote enough..."
He shook his head and turned to look at the big hole in the ground. He felt that it was not a project that could be completed by one person.
Moreover, it is almost dawn.
"Forget it, let's bury it for as long as possible...The second thing is to try to fall into a dream and see what happens in the dream world...The surrounding environment is not right now, so hold on..."
"I don't know how long I have been sleeping...but even if I have been away for half my life, I will still be a young man when I come back..."
Aaron held the lantern and headed towards the bright location.
…
early morning.
The orange-red morning sun is rising, reflecting on the water of the mother river, making it sparkling.
On the steel bridge that spans the east and west districts of Green Forest City, Aaron stood in the middle section, looking at the scenery on both sides of the mother river in despair.
Countless reinforced concrete buildings rise from the ground, like a jungle made of steel.
Not far away, tall chimneys stood tall in the factory area, spewing large amounts of smoke.
"The forest of Green Forest has long been cleared and turned into a Victorian-style city?"
Aaron's mouth slowly widened: "Even though the direction of the mother river has changed dramatically, I almost can't recognize it... It seems that the geological strata have also changed, right? At least we have experienced several earthquakes... Otherwise I would obviously
The tomb is built deep underground and will never appear on the surface..."
In the distance, Aaron even saw a railway track paved with logs, and a train pulled by a steam locomotive roared past.
"Although the book I gave Ginny recorded the idea of a steam mechanism, it doesn't seem to mention the concept of a train..."
Although it was early in the morning, there were already many pedestrians, most of whom were workers in a hurry, as well as newsboys wearing overalls, plaid shirts, and berets.
Occasionally, someone wearing gray wide-leg pants, a beige lapel shirt, a vest, and carrying a briefcase would pass by like a middle-class white-collar elite.
Aaron even saw a beautifully decorated carriage running rampant in the middle of the road, and the gentleman riding inside could be seen through the open window.
The other party was wearing a smooth silk vest and trousers, a black woolen coat, a round hat on his head, a gold pocket watch chain and a white silk scarf on his chest...
"This evolution is...a bit fast..."
Aaron muttered to himself and picked up an ink newspaper that was blown by the wind.
Although the low-quality ink was very sticky to his hands, he could barely make out half of the text on it, and there were traces of the Green Forest's universal text in it.
Fortunately, the date column is always more prominent, and the way the numbers are written does not change much.
"July 4th, year 1026 of the new calendar!"
Aaron read the first sentence without guessing, his eyes filled with sadness.
He had no idea what year in history the new calendar should start from, but it seemed that a long time had passed.
Sotos Castle, family, Ginny...
He took a deep breath and felt that it was fortunate that he had no heirs. Otherwise, the feeling that all his relatives had died and disappeared in history might have made him feel even heavier at this time.
Even so, a kind of melancholy lingered in Aaron's heart for a long time and could not go away.
"Everything in this world has become history..."
"It's time for me to focus more... on pursuing the extraordinary and mysterious."
Aaron said to himself, and then looked at the rising sun, spreading his hands as if to embrace the sun.
'Life is a beam of light...'
'The glow flows like water falling from high to low, so the glow comes from afar...'
'If you want to take over intangible things, you need a tangible container...'
'The tangible vessel is flesh and blood itself, because there is nothing in my heart, it can carry the light...'
'Then...the invisible sun rises in my heart!'
Aaron recited the mantra silently in his heart.
It comes from the secret transmission of 'Yao', and it is not the incomplete version that Lin sacrificed, but Aaron obtained it directly from the body of the sun debris.
The essence of existence is mystery and knowledge!
Being frozen in ice for such a long time has already made Aaron naturally understand a profound inheritance, which was directly engraved in his heart.
Even though he had mastered other secrets such as 'Red', 'Dark', 'Shadow', and 'Chrysalis', Aaron still chose the path of 'Yao' after weighing it.
Because it comes directly from the [Scarlet Creator] himself, and because after thousands of years of being frozen, Aaron feels that even though he was an ordinary person before, he may have been secretly transformed and become more suitable in terms of mysticism.
Yao's road.
At this time, what he was performing was the very first 'Glow Method' in the secret transmission of 'Yao'. He needed to bathe in the early morning light and use meditation and mantras to promote spiritual awakening and accumulation.
Aaron felt that his mind was rising infinitely, and he came into contact with a ray of light, which filled his heart.
That is - the spirituality of 'Yao'!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his body trembling with excitement.
Even though this bit of spirituality is very weak, it is different from the previous sacrifices. It is the first ray of spirituality that he has generated by himself!
