I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 340 The frozen city
They walked the remaining distance with both feet and approached the core area.

Irene was walking in front and kept moving forward when she was suddenly stopped by Lin Zhong: "Wait a minute."

Lin finally felt an invisible barrier here. On the other side of the barrier, he saw a scene completely different from the outside world.

Different from the abyss area outside which has been turned into ruins, this area is extremely complete. With the barrier as the boundary, the buildings of the city are still intact, and neatly trimmed roadside trees are planted on the sidewalk of the road.

On the smooth road, cars lined up at traffic lights, and there were even pedestrians on the street.

But this neighborhood is completely lifeless, literally dead, because it's frozen in time.

This is an area where time is suspended. The people here remain motionless, the speeding vehicles are still on the road, the countdown of the traffic lights has stopped at a number, and even the sparrows rising and falling in the flower beds are still. Hanging in mid-air.

The closer you get to the remains, the stronger the effect of the time deceleration barrier is. With this place as the dividing line, time has completely stopped. When the remains arrived, they stopped the place at the moment when the disaster started.

If anyone without qualifications approaches the remains rashly, they will be frozen here.

But Lin finally felt that he was qualified to enter.

He took a look at the barrier and found a fallen leaf hovering near the barrier. He tried to get close to the fallen leaf and expand his time acceleration barrier.

Suddenly, the fallen leaves fell down. At the same time, the fallen leaves quickly turned from yellow to gray, and shattered into ash on the ground.

At the same time, Lin finally noticed that within his barrier, the smooth road surface inside the barrier suddenly showed signs of cracks, just like the ruins outside that had been abandoned for more than twenty years.

Within his barrier, the suspended time here will flow again, but it will not start from the suspended time, but jump directly to the situation more than twenty years later.

This area does not seem to be as simple as being suspended in time. It has two states of time superimposed together. One is when the disaster strikes, and the other is when time has not been suspended. Like other areas, it is in the abyss of the disaster. A state that has lasted more than 20 years.

Once time begins to flow, the preserved pre-catastrophic state will be peeled off like a skin, revealing the true timeline state underneath.

He was qualified to enter the realm of this remains, and at this moment he truly felt that the power of the demigod was within his reach.

Even he himself didn't expect that the hesitation deep in his heart actually appeared at this time.

Even when he was stationed in the Blood Lake and felt uneasy about the decisive battle with the Lord of Time, he never really hesitated about becoming a demigod.

But now that the battle is over and the position of demigod is right in front of him, he becomes cautious about it.

Because he has foreseen what it means to be a demigod.

With the birth of the demigod of time authority, the ceremony of returning the stars to their proper places is one step closer to completion.

He actually had a guess about the content of the ceremony for the stars to return to their positions.

The existence of the Abyss Saint shows one thing - the power of the eight ancient gods can be gathered into one.

Eight authorities, eight demigods, want to attribute power to one existence, only by excluding the other seven existences.

The evolution process of the ancient gods' relatives is a process of survival of the fittest. They evolve while hunting and killing each other. If they defeat other apostles in the ceremony at the center of the abyss, they can gain the authority to become demigods.

So, what happens when all eight demigods are born?Whether a new competition will start again, the eight demigods will compete to the last person, just like the saint of Abyss, who will become the "supreme" existence that gathers the power of all the ancient gods.

The end point of this "returning of the stars" ceremony was the horrific disaster that tore apart the Abyss home planet.

Becoming a demigod means that he will be involved in a new fight against each other, and it will also bring that ending one step closer to this planet.

But reason is also telling him that there is no point in giving up.

Even if he gives up his status as a demigod here, there will still be other apostles trying to complete this ritual.Sister Yisi and Mr. Key are also actively completing the goal of the stars returning to their right places. It is only a matter of sooner or later that the master of time authority will be born.

If he gives up this authority, he will lose the power to interfere in all this, and once again let his destiny be influenced by others, just like the insignificant "Lighthouse Hunter Lin Zhong" who died in the past when he was easily involved in Mr. Key and Irene's actions. Same.

Considering the risks he had to bear, he was actually not that interested in the ancient god's power, but now that fate had pushed him to this position, he had no way out.

He already knew the truth, so naturally he could no longer bury his head in the soil and pretend that nothing had happened.

Fran and Irene on the side both cast doubtful glances at Lin Zhong. They could not see the scene in the gray mist.

Finally, Lin Zhong stepped into the barrier and said, "The time in this area ahead has been frozen, but my ability can neutralize it. Follow me closely and don't leave my ability range."

They entered the area where time stopped. This place was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and Lin Zhong's intrusion was like throwing a stone into this pool of stagnant water.

Every time Lin Zhong took a step forward, the scene around him changed.The steel railings became rusty, the cement pavement cracked, and weeds grew one after another in the cracks.

He deliberately avoided those pedestrians because he could imagine what the consequences would be. In the normal disaster timeline, these people would not be able to survive. Their current survival is just an observational illusion caused by the superposition of time points. , once he interferes, everything will collapse to the result on the normal timeline.

In his judgment, the people here were actually already dead, but even so, he did not want to create a phenomenon that seemed like he had killed these people, which would unnecessarily add to his psychological pressure.

He followed the call and finally came to a shopping plaza in the city.

The remains were quietly suspended near an artistic statue. From the outline, it could be seen that it was a leg, wrapped in layers of dark shrouds, like a cut off part of a mummy.

Lin Zhong's pace suddenly slowed down. He stared at the remains cautiously, and suddenly felt something invisible beginning to flow into his body.

The power that resides in the remains has waited for the most suitable container.

Fran and Irene discovered that the gray fog around them suddenly began to flow explosively and at high speed. At this moment, the entire Abyss No. [-] began to erupt with gray fog, and the edge moved towards District [-] and Chuxia Town.

Lin Zhi couldn't see the gray fog. He only saw the surrounding scene as if the reflection in the water was stirred by the thrown stones, suddenly became distorted, and then recovered again.

The frozen city turned into ruins in the blink of an eye. The outer walls of the houses peeled off, weeds and vines grew wildly everywhere, and the ground was littered with broken pieces of cloth and white bones.
