Chapter 524 A World Without Laws
Li Yuan suddenly understood something and remembered some things.
The divine energy brought by the totem, in essence, is a kind of "feedback" power generated by the beliefs of living beings.
Innate gods, chaotic gods and demons.
Those powerful beings possess unparalleled power in chaos.
Maybe there is no so-called "world" now, but these powerful beings undoubtedly have a deep imprint in the entire virtual sky, that is, the newly opened universe.
The beliefs and thoughts of living beings are projected onto this brand, triggering a certain reaction, allowing the chaotic sky to generate energy and give back to the living beings.
And allow those beings that are believed in to automatically emit tiny energies and reflect them to living beings.
For creatures who believe in totems, it is a force that can make them stronger.
But for the real chaotic gods and demons, and innate gods, perhaps it is just a tiny and insignificant missing part on the way to eternal brilliance.
It is like a star, which does not care where its light is radiated or who regards it as the truth.
From the perspective of the ‘star’, the only things that truly ‘exist’ are itself and beings of the same level.
Perhaps, in this incomplete and hazy state, some innate gods and chaotic gods and demons are unaware of their own existence as totems of weak creatures.
Because the entire chaos also responded on their behalf.
Li Yuan knew in his heart that this was a rough version of...the incense system.
However, totem belief is the entire chaotic sky responding to power; while the incense system benefits individuals and in turn protects all living beings.
The two have similarities, but cannot be classified under the same system.
Finally, Li Yuan was awakened by Jiang Shi while he was deep in thought.
"You've been sitting there all day."
Jiang Shi expressed that he was a little worried, which woke up Li Yuan.
And handed over a piece of smoked dragon meat.
The wind and snow outside have covered all the houses.
The biting cold permeated the earth.
If someone could look from the air, they would find that the entire plateau was completely covered with more than five meters of ice and snow.
This kind of ice and snow is not a natural phenomenon, but an extreme freeze caused by the lack of certain laws.
No matter how warm the animal skin was, it could not keep the body warm. In the extreme cold, Jiang Shi could only dig out a few black stones from under the bed.
"This is a flame stone. You can use it to make a fire."
"In the harsh winter, it can barely be used to keep warm."
Jiang Shi was trembling, his strong body cowering under the animal skin.
Even though the door of the stone house was closed, a chill could still be felt through the cracks, penetrating into the bone marrow.
Rub several flame stones against each other a few times.
A warm force arose from the flame stone, but under the influence of the severe winter, it lost the ability to bloom flames.
Even so, Jiang Shi seemed to be relieved and put the flame stone in his arms.
He also ground a few more and stuffed them into Li Yuan's arms.
"Don't let you freeze to death."
Jiang Shi spoke briefly and to the point, then fell into a deep sleep.
A year-long severe winter and long nights without sunlight.
The houses of the Xiantian human race were buried under ice and snow.
At this moment, even shoveling ice is a luxury.
They could only distribute their food as best they could, keep their body temperature in their houses, and try to get through it with plenty of sleep.
Looking at Jiang Shi's snoring figure lying on the wooden bed, Li Yuan smiled slightly and leaned on the "small bed" specially made for himself.
Due to the extreme cold, the house was already covered with frost.
Perhaps, soon, it will be frozen by ice.
What makes all creatures on earth despair is not just the severe cold of winter and the shortage of food.
There is also the ice and snow that covers everything and leaves no escape.
Enough to freeze all life.
Even a strong warrior like Jiang Shi could not guarantee his survival in the long and harsh winter.
If one day I get hypothermia while sleeping, or the fire stone can no longer raise the temperature, or there is a lack of food...
All that awaits them is death.
Seeing Jiang Shi fall into a deep sleep, Li Yuan made many attempts out of curiosity.
He took some frozen wood from inside the house.
Absorb the spiritual energy and use the body's instinct to dry it out.
And then...try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Unfortunately, even though Li Yuan used spiritual energy to warm up a small part of the space and reached its normal temperature.
The wood still could not ignite into flame, as if affected by invisible laws.
In the severe winter, fire cannot be started, as if it is some kind of rule.
In the end, Li Yuan gave up, realizing that this was something that could not be reversed.
However, he fiddled with it for a while and tinkered with many things.
Fortunately, Jiang Shi almost entered a state of 'hibernation' and slept very soundly.
Otherwise, I would probably be woken up by Li Yuan's "little actions".
"Flame Stone..."
Li Yuan fumbled for a long time and finally set his sights on the flame stone in his arms.
This black stone seems to possess the characteristics of laws and has almost unreasonable abilities.
Able to start a fire out of thin air and even keep it burning.
Even under the influence of severe winter, the temperature can be raised to provide warmth for living things.
"What is the principle behind this..."
Instinctively, Li Yuan felt extremely curious.
This research took more than half a month.
The wind and snow outside...may stop, may not.
No one could know what was happening after the ice and snow covered the house.
However, the door of Jiang Shi’s house was pushed open by a pair of hands today.
The gate, which was frozen by ice and snow and almost unshakable, could not withstand Li Yuan's physical strength.
He exerted his strength, broke a piece of ice through the wooden door, and forced his way out of the stone house.
A chill flowed in along with the ice chips.
Jiang Shi, who was sleeping in the house, couldn't help but shrink his body.
Li Yuan turned around and gently covered Jiang Shi with several layers of animal skins on his bed.
Then he closed the door and walked out.
He stood in front of the stone house. In front of him, above his head and under his feet was solid ice that was so white that it had a deep light blue color.
The chill came, as if to freeze everything.
But Li Yuan felt nothing.
As long as he doesn't want to, his body can block most perceptions.
"The immortal body... is still somewhat useful..."
Li Yuan smiled and remembered some information about himself.
He punched forward, forcing a path through the ice.
We went up all the way until we climbed nearly ten meters and finally reached the ice layer.
It is no wonder that the people of the Tianhuang tribe built houses with huge bluestones and reinforced them to the point where they were almost completely integrated.
If the materials are not good enough, once the severe winter comes, I am afraid that I can only wait for the roof to collapse under the weight of ice and snow and bury me alive.
The thickness of ice and snow, more than ten meters, has almost buried everything on the earth.
Even the sheep that Li Yuan had helped to herd had been killed before the severe winter and made into jerky.
Because the people of the Tianhuang tribe knew that in the harsh winter environment, gentle creatures like the 汼 could not survive at all.
Walking in the snow, looking up at the huge snowflakes that covered the sky, Li Yuan took a deep breath.
He made a breakthrough in his research on fire stone.
If this attempt succeeds...
The chances of people of the Tianhuang tribe surviving the severe winter will be greatly increased.
Perhaps, it will change the entire earth.
