My Endless Life.

Chapter 439 Prepare to run away
The cost of using the Faceless Wizard Statue is greater than you might imagine.

Even though it seems that only one human lineage disappeared, the price seems acceptable.

But the problem is, the further back we trace back, the more people this human lineage involves!
Let’s take an ordinary family as an example.

If a family has a pair of brothers in this generation, then when the previous generation of this pair of brothers, that is, their father, disappears, then this pair of brothers will also disappear completely.

And if it is their grandfather who disappears, then the children born to their grandfather, that is, the brothers and sisters related to their father by blood, will also disappear!

If we trace back further, our grandfather might have had brothers and sisters, and his father might have had brothers and sisters as well.

Extending upwards layer by layer, when they reach the top, their clan will become an inverted tree.

At the top of the tree are their ancestors, and at the bottom of the tree are themselves.

Once the 'seeds' of this tree disappear, then the towering tree representing this ethnic group will also completely disappear!
This is not a matter of one or two people disappearing. If the ancestor of the person who disappears is a 'stud' who likes to have many offspring, then if it extends to this generation, the number of people who disappear when the witch statue is used once may be tens of thousands!

If we extend it further upwards, the number of disappearing people will continue to increase!
If it were extended back to the earliest ancient times, I'm afraid that more than half of the human race would have disappeared!

After learning the cost of using the witch god statue, Li Qi was shocked for a long time, and finally told Wu Miao the price.

Compared to Li Qi, Wu Miao was shocked for a longer time, followed by deep fear.

Because they have used the witch statue six times, this represents that six human clans have disappeared in the long river of history.

They didn't know how many people were included in these six clans.

They have no idea how many high-level humans are included in these six clans!

Maybe there are a small number of people, but it may also be a huge number!
Wu Miao fell into deep fear for a moment, and sensing his fear, Li Qi thought for a moment and then turned and left.

Bureau 057 is no longer reliable.

I'm afraid that any human organization in this world cannot be trusted.

They have no way to prevent the demise of human civilization and can only watch human civilization step into the bottomless abyss bit by bit.

Li Qi knew that there was not much time left for this world.

He had to find a way to figure out the truth of this world and the cultivation systems of the first four civilizations before this world was destroyed.

Then reincarnate into the next life.

Li Qi has no intention of saving the world. He cannot be the savior, and it is impossible for him to become the savior.

This world is very strange. Li Qi originally thought that observing the rules of the world would be fine, but who could have thought that he would be deprived of his vision by this stingy heaven just by taking a look at the statue of the witch god?

A statue of a witch god is already so dangerous, God knows what other dangers are waiting for me in this world.

At this time, Li Qi even felt that Ye Yue's choice was extremely wise.

Perhaps they should indeed leave this dangerous world as soon as possible.

Li Qi decided to evacuate. He did not say hello to Wu Miao, but asked a few familiar people from the 057 Bureau to find out the locations of the major historical sites.

Then let them use the teleportation artifact to help Li Qi teleport to the estimated location.

Li Qi left the capital's underground city quietly.

He did not take any of the rare items from Bureau 057.

When Li Qi realized that strange objects could not prevent pollution, let alone save the human world, he gave up the idea of ​​collecting strange objects.

Rather than letting it gather dust in our own hands, it is better to leave it to humans and give them some hope of overcoming the crisis.

"But...did they send me to the wrong place?"

After asking Bureau 057 to transfer him to the nearest ancient monument, Li Qi felt the vast snow and ice fields around him and fell into a brief confusion.

This was one of the ancient sites that Bureau 057 had once explored. Later, due to the arrival of doomsday, the site collapsed and Bureau 057 evacuated.

But the problem is that when Bureau 057 evacuated, it left a lot of military facilities nearby, and planned to explore again after everything was repaired.

But now Li Qi used all his mental power to explore, but he could not find any trace of human civilization within a radius of ten miles.

There is no trace of any ancient monuments below.

If the surrounding terrain was not identical to the location on the map, Li Qi would have suspected that the people from Bureau 057 had sent him to the wrong place.

"Forget it, let's go for a walk first."

Walking on the thick snow, Li Qi planned to explore the surrounding area first.

Anyway, Xu Leying is still in the capital's underground city, and Yi Cheng and the others are in the dream town that they returned to from the capital's underground city.

As long as Li Qi wanted, this puppet's body could be brought back to the capital's underground city with the help of Yi Cheng and the others.

With no worries about retreat, Li Qi's mentality was naturally very peaceful.

Heavy snow fell from the sky and cold wind blew from all directions.

Li Qi was only wearing a thin coat. He wasn't wearing anything thick, but he didn't feel cold.

The puppet's body is not afraid of the cold. Even if it walks in a place of minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, there is no need to worry about it being frozen. Li Qi has specially made cold-proof treatment for the puppet's body.

Therefore, even in this freezing cold place, Li Qi can walk freely.

Since he is temporarily blind, he doesn't have to worry about getting snow blindness from looking at white objects for a long time.

Without having to worry about anything, Li Qi explored the snow quickly.

In just over an hour, they had already walked more than ten kilometers. However, after walking for so long, Li Qi still could not see any traces of human civilization, let alone any traces of ancient monuments.

Just when Li Qi thought he might have taken the wrong path and was about to ask Yi Cheng to help take him back to Bureau 057 to look for information, there was suddenly some other movement in Li Qi's spiritual world.

A young figure appeared in the spiritual world without any impurities.

The figure was wearing a simple white dress, as if she was wearing a large piece of white cloth picked up at random, and her black hair was loose, forming a sharp contrast with the white dress.

She couldn't see faces or hear voices.

But her body was emitting a faint light.

This faint light is extremely conspicuous in Li Qi's dark spiritual world.

Like a firefly in the dark night.

Sensing the presence of the young figure, Li Qi stopped and did not move forward.

The young figure also stopped far away from Li Qi, as if looking at him.

Finally, under Li Qi's 'gaze', the young figure raised his arm and pointed towards the distance.

"..."

Her mouth seemed to move, and she was saying something, but Li Qi couldn't hear anything clearly.

He turned his head in the direction of the girl's finger, and his level six mental power helped Li Qi outline the contours of a mountain. In that mountain, Li Qi sensed the breath of some living creatures.

It is the breath of life and civilization.

After confirming that there seemed to be a human settlement over there, Li Qi realized that the phantom that appeared in front of him was showing him the way.

He turned back again to look for the shadow.

However, the shadow disappeared as expected, as if it had never existed.

“Pollution…?”

The sudden appearance of the phantom made Li Qi afraid to act rashly. He was worried that it was some kind of spiritual pollution.

However, Li Qi himself was not very sure. After all, this phantom did not seem to be hostile, unlike the pollution he had encountered before, which seemed to want to kill all living things.

After waiting for a while and seeing no trace of the phantom, Li Qi walked in the direction the phantom pointed.

Li Qi's idea was very simple. Since there were no clues now, he might as well explore in the direction given by the phantom.

Anyway, the worst outcome is that you encounter pollution and have to hide back in your small town.

Slowly moving towards the mountain that the shadow was pointing at, Li Qi finally felt the breath of living things.

His hearing allowed him to pick up the sound of voices, and the crackling of flames.

Smelling the smell of fireworks in the air, Li Qi hesitated for a while and called Li Qiao out of the dream world.

"Xiao An, what's wrong?"

As soon as Li Qiao came out, she asked about Li Qi's condition.

Her expression was full of worry, because she had learned what happened in the outside world from Xie Yan, who had taken refuge in the small town.

But Li Qi never called her, and she didn't want to take the initiative to come out and cause trouble for Li Qi.

Now that Li Qi had finally called her out, Li Qiao was relieved that she was still of some use, but at the same time, she was also worried that her brother might have encountered some danger.

Feeling Li Qiao's concern, Li Qi felt a warm current in his heart.

He softened his voice and said to Li Qiao:
"There seems to be a village over there. It's too suspicious for a kid like me to wander around outside, so I need your help and cooperation."

"Village..."

After hearing what Li Qi said, Li Qiao looked towards the mountains in the distance.

In the night snow, the dim firelight was looming. Li Qiao then noticed that Li Qi was not in the capital underground city and asked, "Where is this?"

"It's near the ancient ruins located by Bureau 057, but I didn't find any traces of the ancient ruins. I thought... maybe the village over there can give me the answer."

Since the ancient monuments cannot be found, let's just change our approach and ask the indigenous people living near the monuments. It will be the same.

Li Qiao nodded slightly.

She knew that Li Qi had been looking for traces of ancient relics, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, then come back with me and change your clothes. Your current outfit is too suspicious."

"Ah."

Li Qi did not refuse.

Because what Li Qiao said was very true. In such a cold environment with heavy snow, a child wearing only a single piece of clothing could not survive at all.

Children who can move freely in such an environment are not ordinary children at all.

So in order to make yourself look more "normal", it is necessary to change your clothes.

After spending some time returning to the Dream Town to replenish supplies and change their clothes, replacing their thin shirts with bulky cotton coats and down jackets, Li Qi and Li Qiao finally left the Dream Town.

And walked towards the village in the mountains.
