Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 386 - The Main Character of the Game
The Star Devourers surrounding the star system disappeared one after another. All the surviving civilizations were stunned.
Many civilizations knelt on the ground. Bin and the others shouted, “This is God! This is God!”
Ma Tengyun got up and looked at this scene in shock. He mumbled, “I see. You’re the main character. You’re the main character!”
Wei Huo looked at him. “Are you saying that I’m the main character in a standalone game? The character controlled by the player?”
Ma Tengyun said, “Absolutely. This is a game world.”
Wei Huo recalled the last sentence Ma Tengyun had said before leaving Earth. He then said, “I see. That was what your last sentence meant.”

Ma Tengyun said slowly, “I thought you were the main character from the beginning. However, if you died, the main character of the game would not die. That’s why I concluded that you were not the main character of the game. It had to be Lu Qiqi. Her experiences were quite complicated. Her life was filled with Legendary events, so she had to be the main character of the game.”
Wei Huo said, “But there are other players on Earth.”
Ma Tengyun laughed. He laughed out loud and said, “Are those people really players? Perhaps, they’re just NPCs? After all, you’ve never been to the real Demon Realm, right? You’ve also played games. If a single-player game like an online game is produced, all the players who form a team with you are actually NPCs. These NPC players will form a team with you, chat with you, and even think of you or talk about your troubles in reality. However, at the end of the day, they are just NPCs. What do you think? Isn’t this setting very novel?”
Ma Tengyun’s spirit was already very abnormal. He was like a different person from thousands of years ago. The Snake God said curiously, “Can an Epic-ranked creature live for so long? Or did he use a device that can freeze souls?”
Xiao Yi said, “No, he’s crazy. A crazy person can also dig out the power of the heart. If he calls us Gods, he might be called a Devil.”
The Snake God said, “Yes, it’s a very vivid comparison.”
Ma Tengyun suddenly looked at the Snake God. “No, you might be the main character. Your life is more Legendary. Besides, if you were made into a standalone game, your life would be more interesting. You would grow from a 2D gluttonous snake to a snake of the world and devour everything…”
The Spirit Firmament’s Patriarch looked at Ma Tengyun and said, “He has already fallen into a trance. The devil in his heart will be born. It would be best to kill him immediately!”
Ma Tengyun said, “What I see is the truth of this world. You guys won’t understand. I thought Lu Qiqi disappeared because she deleted her character. It seems like she’s not the real main character of the game! Only a living person can be the main character of the game.”
Wei Huo thought about it for a moment and said, “Another disappearance?”
The Spirit Firmament’s Patriarch could not help but attack. However, Wei Huo stopped him. He lifted a hand and said, “Alright, all of you enter the Titan. The Spirit Firmament race and everyone in the human fleet.”
Many people in the human fleet, who had already succumbed to despair, lifted their heads again. They saw that only two of the endless Devourers had disappeared. The only two remaining Devourers had been deliberately left behind by the Snake God. He wanted to study the structure of the Devourers.
This scene made many humans on the human battleships feel a glimmer of hope. At their most desperate moment, something called a sense of security filled their hearts and gradually restored their spirits.
Humans were not only physically weak, but their hearts were not necessarily strong either. Many people without cultivation would easily be devastated by setbacks, but they would also be saved quickly and trust the person who saved them unconditionally. This was actually a common method used by many cults to brainwash people.
However, many people with a cultivation level and strong willpower would not do that. There were still some people in the human fleet. For example, an old man named Feng Zhongqiang had once been an Epic-ranked expert. His firm willpower had allowed him to take another step forward and become a Legendary creature.
Apart from him, many other people had survived and their strength had increased greatly.
Wei Huo asked Ma Tengyun, “Where are the other Legendary creatures?”
Wei Huo had met Li Hanfeng before. He was very strong, and Wei Huo had yet to see an image of his death. Compared to Ma Tengyun, Li Hanfeng was much stronger. However, Wei Huo did not know where he had gone. He guessed that he had entered the four-dimensional barrier on Earth.
That’s right, Wei Huo’s next destination was the Aerial Peak, which was protected by the four-dimensional barrier.
The people of the Spirit Firmament race and the human fleet entered the black-and-white Titan. The black-and-white Titan was ready to set off. However, at that moment, the surviving fleets suddenly sent a cosmic broadcast to Wei Huo.
“God! Please take us in! We are willing to do anything for you!”
“God! You saved us. Please don’t abandon us. We would do anything for you!”
Wei Huo looked at the Snake God, who said, “It doesn’t matter. They’re useless to me.”
Wei Huo said, “I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m asking if you’re full.”
Speaking of that, the Snake God’s body was also a manufactured gender template. Its face was indescribable, so one could not tell its gender from its face alone. Its physical characteristics were not obvious either.
However, gender was meaningless to Gods. Besides, although Gods could create all sorts of species, they could not reproduce. They could reproduce without a gender, but the person they produced would only be another version of themselves. This was akin to splitting a part of themselves.
On the other hand, their powerful spirit had a strong repelling force. They could not fuse with their Gods. There was no need to mention the Mythical stage. As long as one reached the peak of the Legendary stage, they could not reproduce. The peak of the Legendary stage could split their attention and sever their connection. However, they could not reproduce with others. Chen Xuanyue’s sister had suddenly become a peak Legendary creature at the age of 16. In the end, even if she married someone else, she would not be able to have children.
That was because the peak of the Legendary stage was an existence that surpassed biological limits. An existence that surpassed living creatures was a race in itself. They were an existence that surpassed humans.
Wei Huo was asking the Snake God if it was full. He was asking if it could still eat, as there were still three other Devourers in the star system for it to devour.
The Snake God asked, “Are you talking about the three Forbidden Death Zones you created?”
Wei Huo said, “That’s right. I didn’t expect those foolish Star Devourers to not even let go of the stars in the Forbidden Death Zones. There’s no benefit to being too greedy for any creature.”
