The two walked forward through a peach garden. After walking for almost half an hour, the scene in front of them suddenly changed. The scene that appeared left Ye Xiong stunned.
In front of him was an endless stretch of desolate land, without a blade of grass or a trace of greenery. It seemed like two different worlds from where he was standing now.
"See, that's where we moved. Everything we could eat was eaten by us, but since we ate it, nothing can grow anymore because time has stopped.
"Gan Jing said.
From Gan Jing's mouth, the words "time stops" have been mentioned twice.
Ye Xiong walked over in disbelief, came to one of the clumps of grass, and pulled it up.
The roots of the grass are still very moist and full of vitality, but they cannot produce leaves.
He continued to walk forward, checking over and over again, pulling out some grass every few hundred meters and looking at it.
There were also some branches with all the leaves removed, leaving only the trunks. He broke them off to look at them.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, he had to admit the fact that all the plants here could no longer grow.
Moreover, he discovered the most terrifying fact, there is no night here, it is always daytime. He felt that he had been walking for most of the day, but there was still no sign of darkness.
There is always a clear blue sky above the head, with no sun and only a few white clouds.
When he returned to Peach Garden again, he was very depressed.
Gan Jing was still waiting for him, as if she had already guessed his reaction.
"There will always be a day when you run out of food, how do you survive?" Ye Xiong asked.
"This space is big enough that we can never go to the end. Every time we walk through a place, we eat all the plants and animals there, and then move the whole family to other places. Over the past thousands of years,
, we don’t even know how much we moved and how much we ate,” Gan Jing said.
"How many people are there in your clan?"
"Not many, about a few hundred people."
"It has been passed down for thousands of years, but how can it be possible that there are only a few hundred people?" Ye Xiong asked puzzledly.
"Because time has stopped, people here are infertile and will not die except by committing suicide. In the past, there were thousands of our clan, but later there were only a few hundred left."
"Why?"
"I couldn't bear it any longer, so I committed suicide." Gan Jing said it lightly, but Ye Xiong could hear the helplessness in her voice.
People who commit suicide are probably bored and commit suicide because they can no longer survive.
"Since time here has stopped, how do you know that you have lived for more than three thousand years?" Ye Xiong looked at her closely.
This is obviously a big lie.
"Because I have this."
Gan Jing took out a pocket watch from her arms and showed it in front of him: "Although time has stopped here, my pocket watch is not broken. I like to hold it every day and record the time, because I don't do anything except look at the time.
I know what I should do."
"Can I take it and take a look?" Ye Xiong asked.
Gan Jing handed over the pocket watch.
Ye Xiong took it and looked at it. It was a mechanical pocket watch that kept spinning.
Ye Xiong handed over the watch and suddenly fell into deep thought.
What happened in front of him was so ridiculous that it made his mind feel dizzy and confused, and he didn't even know whether it was true or false.
How could something like this happen in this world?
In the past, he had read some books. When some cultivators reached the extreme level, they could master the law of time and make time stop or go backwards. However, he never took it to heart and read it as a mythical novel, because in his opinion
, that is really ridiculous.
If you can control your time, that would be great.
"Illusion, this must be an illusion."
"Even the black stone necklace is fake, absolutely fake."
"I will never be fooled."
Ye Xiong clenched his fists tightly, determined, no matter what Gan Jing said, he would not believe it.
"You just said that you have a hobby of recording time?" Ye Xiong suddenly asked.
"yes……"
"Then how come you don't even know how long I have been unconscious?" Ye Xiong continued to ask.
"I have to go back and calculate the time to find out who will always remember it!" Gan Jing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and continued: "I will take you to meet my father first. He is the leader of this clan. All of us.
Everyone obeyed him."
Next, Gan Jing took Ye Xiong through the peach garden and headed towards a luxurious wooden house.
To say it's luxurious means it's just a little prettier than other wooden houses.
Because they have to move out every once in a while, the wooden houses here are very simple.
"Dad, he's awake." Gan Jing walked in and said.
"Junior Ye Xiong, I have met Chief Gan." Ye Xiong stepped forward and said.
When he arrived, Ye Xiong learned from Gan Jing's mouth that the clan leader's name was Luo Cheng. He was not Gan Jing's biological father, but an adopted father, who was very prestigious in the clan.
Seeing Ye Xiong, Gan Cheng laughed and said, "Jingjing told you about the situation here?"
"said."
"As long as you're here, you'll be in peace. It's not life where you are. Don't think wildly. As long as you don't violate the clan rules, it won't matter if you are one more person." Gancheng said.
Next, from Gan Cheng's mouth, Ye Xiong learned that he had been here for a long time, and later gradually became the clan leader.
"Chief, when did you come here and where did you come from?" Ye Xiong asked.
"I used to be from the Universe Star Territory. I don't know how long it has been since I came here. It must have been almost ten thousand years. Those who were earlier than me couldn't bear it and passed away. As a result, I became the leader of the clan."
These words were said so well that Ye Xiong couldn't find any flaws for a while.
When he returned, the clan leader gave him a piece of clan rules and arranged for him to temporarily live with a member of the clan until a new wooden house was built before he could move in.
Gan Jing took Ye Xiong to a small wooden house. Inside, a short man who appeared to be in his thirties was whittling a wooden arrow inside. When he saw Gan Jing come in, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran out quickly.
.
"Jingjing, you finally came to see me, so excited!"
Seeing this man, Gan Jing had an impatient look on her face and said, "Liu Ming, this is a new guy, his name is Ye Xiong. Dad has arranged for him to stay with you for a few days until the new wooden house is built."
After that, move out.”
"No problem, it's okay, you can stay wherever you want." Liu Ming ignored Ye Xiong, walked to Gan Jing, and said with a smile: "Jingjing, I made a new row of bows and arrows. How about we go hunting in a group?"
"I don't have time, so I won't tell you any more. I'm warning you not to bully the newcomers."
After Gan Jing said hello to Ye Xiong, she walked out of the wooden house and left.
As soon as Gan Jing left, the man immediately showed a fierce look, stared at Ye Xiong, and said angrily: "Boy, there aren't many women in our clan. I'm warning you, if you want to live longer, stay away from Jingjing, otherwise you won't even be able to do anything about yourself."
Even those who died don’t know.”
Bullying of newcomers can happen everywhere, and I didn't expect that this illusion would be no exception.
"Fair competition, do you understand?" Ye Xiong simply didn't agree with him.
