Logging Into The Desolated World 10000 Years Earlier

Chapter 5: Cremation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

From the day he saw the notification on the game forum that the two large tribes of the Southern Region were about to start a war,

Su Mu had another mission every day and that was to spend three hours investigating the surrounding environment.

This lasted for a year.

He encountered three groups of people from the tribe who had escaped. He did not choose to attack. Instead, he hid at the side and silently watched these people leave.

Later, he saved a thin child from a mammoth.

At first, he thought that it was another girl. After saving the other party in the Water Curtain Cave and recovering for a month, he discovered that it was a boy.

He seemed to be about the same age as the girl he had saved in the beginning.

Neither child had a name.

According to the rules of the tribe, after leaving the tribe and being destroyed, they would not have their own names before joining the next tribe.

Su Mu did not have a tribe, so although the two “children” had a place to hide, they were still nameless…

It was autumn in the year 00063.

Su Mu exited the game forum.

His face was filled with excitement.

After waiting for a full year, this day had finally arrived.

“In the year 00063 of the God Advent Calendar, the two tribes of the Southern Region fought to the death in the Silent Plain for ten days and ten nights before finally perishing together!

“As a result, the powerful tribes that have ruled the Southern Region for 60 years disappeared.”

Su Mu waited for an entire year for the news on the official forum.

He stood up and jumped out of the Water Curtain Cave.

There were two stone houses on the shore. They were the residences of the boy and girl.

In the dim house, a flame was burning.

After taking a look, Su Mu called the girl out.

He told her that he needed to travel far.

After tidying up briefly, he left.

In the past year, the three groups of escapees he had encountered had all come from the same direction.

Coupled with the fact that the boy had also said that he had come from that direction, Su Mu was basically certain where the two tribes were fighting.

He headed north.

He spent a week walking out of the forest.

On the way, Su Mu encountered four batches of corpses. He only succeeded in using his Corpse Search skill on one person.

According to the degree of decomposition of the corpse, he understood the time frame for the success of the Corpse Search skill.

Just as introduced in the game, the time was within a month after killing the other party…

However, Su Mu was somewhat special. He could obtain skills from everyone’s corpses…

Regardless of whether he killed it personally or not.

…

After walking out of the forest, he followed the north and passed through desolate mountains.

He arrived at the Silent Plain in the north of the Southern Region.

The largest lake in the Southern Region and a river that ran through the entire God Advent Continent were located here.

The resources were abundant. Even the five elements here were more active than the place Su Mu had been previously.

Compared to this place, the Water Curtain Cave he chose was a remote place.

However…

At this moment, the Silent Plains had changed…

Corpses were everywhere. The blue lake water in the lake was dyed dark red by the blood.

The vultures in the sky circled and emitted ear-piercing quacks.

Su Mu was wearing animal skin and walked into the quiet plain with a happy expression.

The pungent stench filled the tip of his nose…

[Obtained cultivation technique: Earth Element (5)]

After touching a corpse nailed to a branch by a bone spear, Su Mu put the other party down and simply dug a hole before putting the corpse in.

The warriors of the tribe would choose to lie in front of the totem after death.

Unfortunately, the battle between the two tribes had also shattered their totems.

The simple pit could be considered Su Mu’s repayment to the person whose corpse he had touched.

After all, he had obtained benefits from them.

Looking out at the blood-red plain dyed by the corpses, Su Mu recalled a sentence he had heard about the Silent Plain in his previous life…

With flesh and blood as the ingredient and bones as the main ingredient, it laid the foundation for becoming the Blood Red Plains in the future.

Perhaps too many people had died, triggering Su Mu’s emotions.

At this moment, he silently swore that for the sake of his longevity, he would never allow his life to be threatened.

He had to become stronger! Become stronger! Become stronger!

Su Mu touched the corpses very quickly.

In the beginning, he would simply dig a hole and bury them.

Ten days later…

[Fire Element (1), Fire Element (2)… Fire Element (10) fused into a cultivation technique: Fire (intermediate level A-)]

[Fire Element (A-): You can use fire elements to strengthen yourself, Physique+10, Spirit+10.]

Cultivate for 500 years and advance it to the high level. Cultivate for 1,000 years and advance it to the peerless level. Cultivate for 3,000 years and advance it to the divine level.]

Just as he gathered the ten fire element fragments and learned the fire technique, he decided on using an easier method to deal with the corpses.

Cremation appeared 5,000 years in advance in the God Advent Continent.

…

A month later.

On the shore of the northern lake.

Su Mu salvaged the last corpse from the lake.

[Obtained Metal Element (8)]

[Prompt: The cultivation technique metal element fragments have been gathered and can be fused.]

“Fuse.”

[Fusion complete.]

[Metal Element (intermediate level A-): You can use the metal element to strengthen yourself. Physique+10, Spirit+10.]

Beside the lake, Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

He had finally gathered the last of the five elemental cultivation techniques!

In his memory, during the first closed beta, he had not even gathered a single one of the five elemental cultivation techniques.

After officially entering the open beta and entering the game, even with the experience of the closed beta, he still spent two months gathering the first elemental cultivation technique.

Just like that, he was one of the players who made faster progress.

Until the end of the first era, he had never heard of a player who had gathered all five elemental cultivation techniques.

[Prompt: You can comprehend the breathing technique. Cultivation techniques: Metal, Water, Earth, Wood, and Fire.

Do you want to comprehend it automatically? ”

Eh?

A system notification appeared.

This stunned Su Mu. He thought that just like low level cultivation techniques, it would take at least ten intermediate level cultivation techniques to fuse.

However, he had already comprehended something.

He knew that comprehension was a variation of the fusion of cultivation techniques.

Compared to fusion, it was only stronger!

“Comprehend!”

[Comprehending…]

[Five Elements Breathing Technique (intermediate level A+): You can use the five elements to increase your Physique and Spirit.

Cultivate for 500 years… Cultivate for 3,000 years to reach the divine level.

Tip: You can increase the quality of the breathing technique by devouring cultivation technique fragments.]

Seeing the new notification, Su Mu was overjoyed.

He did not have many other things, but he did indeed have many cultivation technique fragments.

Without hesitation, he directly let the Five Elements Breathing Technique devour all his low level fragments.

[Strength (2)-16.]

[Body Strengthening (1) -6.]

[Fire Element (9)-101.]

…

[Earth Element (3) -26.]

[Five Elements Breathing Technique (medium level A+) has been upgraded to the Five Elements Breathing Technique (medium level s+)]

[Five Elements Breathing Technique (intermediate level S+): Control the five elements and strengthen yourself. Physique+70, Spirit+70.

“After cultivating for 500 years, it will be upgraded to a high level. After cultivating for 2,000 years, it will be upgraded to a peerless level. After cultivating for 4,000 years, it will be upgraded to a divine level.]

The Five Elements Breathing Technique instantly fused into Su Mu’s body.

His strength instantly soared.

It was as if the five elements had become his lackeys.

He could order them around at will.

He looked at the time on the forum.

Su Mu decided to return to the Water Curtain Cave to continue cultivating.

After cultivating for 4,000 years and increasing the Five Elements Breathing Technique to the divine level, wouldn’t he be able to do whatever he wanted in the God Advent Continent?

He had never heard of anyone with an S+ level cultivation technique like him.

Currently, Su Mu’s foundation was very solid. It could be said that he was the on;y one with such a foundation in the whole continent!

After heaving a sigh of relief, Su Mu looked at his new interface…
