The old man smiled happily, his smile was full of relief and hope, and there was no trace of gloom. However, Hao Ren and others could not understand where this kind of reassuring feeling came from. Vivian stared into the old man's eyes to confirm.
Is the other party sane: "Do you... really know what is going on with them now? They are indeed still speaking the ancient language, and perhaps they still retain most of the writing from back then, but other than that they don't know anything.
There is no history, no culture, no tradition, and the inheritance of civilization has long been discontinued. With all due respect, these people are just ignorantly living in these ruins."
Vivian was not polite at all when she said these words. She had already witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties and the survival of races. At this moment, she was just stating the facts as a bystander. However, the old man was unmoved. He just listened to Vivian's words silently.
, a head of sparse and messy white hair slowly fluttering in the breeze: "You know, I have imagined worse situations."
He turned his head and looked at the moving crowd below.
"I once had to face a group of children, only a few of whom were over ten years old, and most of whom were between three and nine years old. They only had basic common sense of life. The older children could take care of themselves and read and write, while the younger children had just learned
Eating by myself, my mission was to lead a group of children to rebuild the entire civilization. It was an almost despairing burden, but I still happily accepted it. And these... they are better than children."
"Their thinking is rigid, order is chaotic, social rules have been distorted for hundreds of years, and their wrong worldview has been deeply ingrained." Vivian shook her head gently, "Such adults are not as good as those children back then..."
"But they survived here," the old man interrupted Vivian rudely. "With no one to lead them, those children survived and even multiplied into four kingdoms! Four kingdoms! They
You have already done more than you imagined, what else can you ask for?"
At this time, someone in the open space below finally noticed the movement on the high platform above. A brave man who dared to look up saw Hao Ren and his party standing near the outer ring of the ancestral furnace. I don't know who shouted first. Then there were more
Many people looked up and looked over. People who had witnessed the power of the "Ice Witch" and "Fire Witch" started to make noises immediately, and the slogan "Judge of Ice and Fire" became one.
The sound spread rapidly among the crowd. These people who had just felt the huge impact from the "miracle" of the restart of the ancestral furnace were as if they were witnessing the true God in person. They knelt down devoutly and praised the end of the cold winter in unison. Perhaps they had not seen it before.
Some people once questioned this incident, but now that the ancestral furnace has been re-operated, the "Elf of Electricity" is more active than ever before. Such a miracle has dispelled everyone's doubts. In this Ark ruled by ignorance and ignorance, as long as someone can control the power generation
The operation of the machine has strangled the throat of the world.
"Landlord..." Lily was startled by the movement below. She had to show off her flaming claws before, but at this time, the crowd below was a bit beyond her expectation. As a loyal dog, her
The first reaction was to get behind Hao Ren.
However, Hao Ren frowned and reached out to gently push the backs of Lily and Vivian: "Come forward, this situation requires you."
Weiwei understood with peace of mind that she had quite a lot of experience with this. This ancient vampire who had been worshiped as a god by the people on earth more than once took a step forward, surrounded by the biting cold wind, and the usual gentle smile faded from her face.
The meaning turned to majesty and coldness. It was as intimidating as the real "Ice Witch". Lily was also trying to imitate her. This husky girl was quite talented: in fact, every husky was pretending to be serious.
They are quite talented when they are young. If you don’t believe it, you can go find a husky and observe it. Just look at their eyes to see if they are particularly serious when they don’t speak...
"Quiet." Vivian simply said two words, and the crowd below suddenly fell into silence.
"What are your plans, after seeing the current situation here?" Hao Ren took this moment to ask the old man next to him.
The old man looked down at the manuscripts that Lily had placed on the ground, and his voice finally became a little frustrated: "I was supposed to teach these things myself, but I can't live much longer. I don't know how long you plan to stay here, and I don't know how long you plan to stay here.
Are you willing to lend a helping hand... But if possible, I hope this knowledge can be handed over to them. Even if only a little bit is passed down in the end, our inheritance will not be interrupted. Please, give these things to them..."
Having said this, the old man took a few deep breaths. His body seemed to be even more rickety than when he just climbed out of the dormant cabin. Even without any instrument detection, Hao Ren could clearly feel that the life force was coming out of this octogenarian man's body.
As time went by, he almost relied on perseverance to persist to this moment, and after explaining his posthumous affairs, his death was approaching.
"No." Hao Ren shook his head gently.
The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and even the Nangong brother and sister next to him couldn't help but look shocked.
"Leave it to them yourself. This is your job." Hao Ren reached out and grabbed a golden fruit from the crack in the space next to him. After hesitating for a moment, he cut a piece of pulp from it and said, "Eat this."
Go down."
The moment he saw the golden fruit, Nangong Wuyue couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, you have another one?"
"There happened to be an extra one at that time. Lily had originally made a reservation." Hao Ren secretly glanced at the husky spirit who was posing with Vivian in front, "Don't remind her, she'll probably forget it."
Not far away, Lily, who was facing away, suddenly felt a chill all over her body. Some kind of instinct to protect food made her feel inexplicably in danger. However, she mistakenly thought that the chill was caused by Vivian's cold air: "Bat, you
Stay away from me, I'll freeze to death!"
The old man looked at the people in front of him with confused expressions in front of a piece of fruit, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
Hao Ren handed over the piece of golden apple: "You can eat it if you are told to. You are already dying of old age. Would you mind if I said it was poison?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled and calmly took the piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth: "I don't know what you are thinking."
After he swallowed what was in his mouth, Nangong Wuyue and Hao Ren immediately and carefully observed each other's changes, because this was the first time they saw an ordinary person eating a golden apple. And the effect of the fruit was immediate
It emerged: the old man's appearance changed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. His body slowly straightened up, and the years of wear and tear that had accumulated in his flesh and bones dissipated instantly. His face became rosy again, his breathing became steady and strong, and
The wrinkles slowly fade away, and this scene is like time flowing back on this person!
However, this apparent "backflow" did not last long. After the effectiveness of the golden apple ended, the old man was still an old man. He still had white hair and some wrinkles on his face, but a strong vitality was flowing from him.
It slowly dissipated from the body, making people clearly feel that he had undergone some kind of transformation. Hao Ren asked the data terminal in his mind: "Is this it?"
"That's it, the effect has been exerted normally."
"I thought he would keep regressing back to his teenage self," Nangong Wuyue flicked his tail, "I was also worried about what if the medicine was too effective and the person disappeared."
Of course, the old man also noticed the changes in his body at this time. To be honest, nothing he had experienced since he woke up until now was as shocking as the changes at this moment. He was shocked and overwhelmed: "This, how is this..."
"You have been frozen for eight hundred years by mistake," Hao Ren stretched out his hand to hold the old man's shoulder, "This is eight hundred years to compensate you. Now you have enough time to complete your work."
The old man blinked and finally understood the incredible changes that had happened to him: "Who are you?!"
"I'll have plenty of time to explain this to you then," Vivian suddenly turned around and said, "The key now is what should I say. Hao Ren is here to help me think of a follow-up. I've been here for five minutes and I don't want to make a scene again."
I’m afraid I can’t hold it any longer.”
The crowd in the open space below was already a little commotion. They looked at the witch of ice and fire in awe, but because the divine revelation had not yet come down, the crowd's patience was being worn away little by little. Hao Ren pulled the old man to the edge of the highland.
He whispered: "You need a starting point to intervene in their society and make them respect and obey you. Now we have created an opportunity for you."
As he spoke, he raised the old man's hand high.
"People of the Four Kingdoms, the cold winter is over forever! Your ancestors have returned from the resting place of their souls. Witnessed by the twin gods of ice and fire, he will bring you a new era!"
