Chapter 1120: Time Snapshots
After clearing the small-time scoundrels hidden in the city, Wen Wen felt that the air in this city became even more fragrant.
Then he walked to the Bronze Door, placed his palm on it, and gently pushed, the massive Bronze Door opened directly.
To outsiders, the inside of this door was a giant white vortex, stepping into it doesn't know where it would lead.
But to Wen Wen, when the vortex swirled, various scenes would appear here, the largest of which was the world trapped before.
Crooked Dragon didn't fully master Yuriano's powers, even opening the Bronze Door was strenuous, occasionally entering for exploration was already good enough, fundamentally unable to achieve Wen Wen's level of mastery.
After pondering, Wen Wen stepped into the Bronze Door.
His first stop was the Xia Mansion's Land, where they had previously gone. Wen Wen appeared in mid-air, found a city, and flew over.
After a simple inquiry, Wen Wen discovered that the time flow in this world was the same as the real world.
Moreover, Wen Wen sensed the aura of the Demon Yao God Kirin, but he didn't disturb it. Wen Wen had an idea about Kirin, but he wasn't sure if it could be implemented.
Then, Wen Wen exited this world, stepped into the massive vortex, and drilled into another time snapshot.
The geographical features here were vastly different from the real world, the oxygen levels in the air were absurdly high, none of the plants Wen Wen recognized, and occasionally he saw fearsome giant insects crawling by on the ground.
Suddenly Wen Wen heard a wail and turned to see a hundred-meter-tall giant tree.
One branch of the giant tree had a horrific wound, from which tree oil was dripping down, enveloping a pathetic Tyrannosaurus rex.
Wen Wen scratched his head, now somewhat understanding how the amber-bound Tyrannosaurus rex in the Truth Society's museum came to be.
A massive millipede quietly appeared behind Wen Wen. It had never seen such a strange creature before, but before the millipede could get a bite, it was bitten by a dinosaur several meters high.
The dinosaur didn't find the thousand-legger creepy, it chewed vigorously, the crunch echoed deliciously.
Watching it eat so deliciously, Wen Wen drooled too.
"I've never had roasted dinosaur before."
Wen Wen cut half of the poor dinosaur's tail, stopped its bleeding, and then chased it away, proceeding eagerly to barbecue.
After roasting, Wen Wen took a few bites and stood up, disappointedly leaving this time snapshot.
"Cumin roast lamb leg still tastes better."
Next, Wen Wen visited several different time snapshots, greatly satisfying his curiosity.
The largest was a city called 'Instant Noodle City,' where the city suddenly started a zombie outbreak, the types of zombies were diverse, but before Wen Wen understood, a bomb leveled the entire area.
It is worth mentioning that the bomb was the strongest Wen Wen had ever seen, indicating that this time snapshot might pose significant risks, requiring caution whether to let the Containment Officer enter.
The smallest snapshot was a castle, where a vampire attempted to transform Wen Wen into a blood descendant but was slapped dead by Wen Wen.
Wen Wen had a fun time in the time snapshots, checked the time, and prepared to visit one more snapshot before handling serious business.
Yet, when he stood in this snapshot, he froze because he was very familiar with the scenery here.
This was Lugang City, Wen Wen's former home.
He took a deep breath, inquiring about today's date at a roadside convenience store, his pupils shrank intensely, and his figure instantly disappeared.
He reappeared floating by a residential window, watching a blood-covered teenager kneel in the room holding a woman's corpse.
"Ah, too late, this still happened."
The time snapshot without outsider interference would correspond one-to-one with history, so what happened then will still happen now.
Wen Wen shook his head, now able to face what happened before, seeing this scene would not stir any emotions.
He merely felt a bit regretful for not arriving before the event, which would have allowed him to speak with his mother.
Just as he was about to leave, he inadvertently glimpsed a man standing at the door like a wooden puppet, it was his father, Wen Rui!
"So back then... he was here too."
A trace of scarlet frenzy appeared in Wen Rui's eyes, his hands opened and closed as if spasming, intense murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
He had deliberately stayed away from home to control the madness within him, not wanting to harm his family.
But every few days, he would return home, and seeing his wife and son would lighten his heart significantly.
Yet he never dreamed that upon returning this time, he would witness such a scene.
Gradually, the intense murderous intent was controlled, Wen Rui turned and left.
Wen Rui knew the madness within him was uncontrollable, so upon seeing this, he imagined the course of events.
Someone plotted evil entering the house, Wen Wen's madness erupted, killing those thieves, and did not halt, also killing his mother.
This conjecture was slightly off from the facts, but Mother Wen's death was indeed related to Wen Wen's loss of reason, so it wasn't completely wrong.
He couldn't blame Wen Wen, as it was his madness that Wen Wen inherited. He only wanted to completely end it all, ending the Wen Family's cursed fate.
Wen Wen quietly followed Wen Rui, watching his melancholy figure, feeling somewhat distressed.
Wen Rui found the thieves' hideout who broke into their home, venting his anger by directly killing dozens of people, avenging Mother Wen.
Afterward, Wen Rui returned home, knocked Wen Wen unconscious, and contacted a mysterious organization, the 'Truth Society.'
Wen Rui expressed his willingness to dedicate himself to the 'Lord of Knowledge and Wisdom,' seeking a favor from the Truth Society.
That favor was to seal Wen Wen's extraordinary potential, neither Wen Wen nor his descendants could awaken any Supernatural Power.
To Wen Rui, this was dissolving the frenzy curse of his lineage.
After the matter was settled, Wen Rui spent over ten days in Lugang City, his emotions gradually faded, replaced by a cold, icy desire for knowledge.
In just over ten days, Wen Rui completely transformed into another person, even standing before Mother Wen's grave, he had no emotional fluctuations, pondering more about the meaning of life and death.
From that moment, the original Wen Rui died, and a Wen Rui willing to sacrifice everything for knowledge was born.
Afterward, Wen Rui left Lugang City.
This time snapshot covered a quarter of Lugang City, once Wen Rui left, Wen Wen saw nothing.
The entire process Wen Wen observed coldly, as he knew it all were just time snapshots, stopping Wen Rui would change nothing.
However, following Wen Rui for over ten days greatly changed Wen Wen's attitude toward Wen Rui.
