In the Endless Divine Realm, countless talents emerge, but only a select few can survive and ascend to high positions.
Countless brilliant shooting stars have been lost in the dust of history, not because they lacked brilliance, but because their lifespans were too short.
Within the Southern Ming Divine Domain, most who knew Wei Chen felt that after so many years of absence, he must have been deep in planning, filled with confidence, yet he still did not appear...
Perhaps he was already dead?
...
In the Fire Source, Wei Chen waited in boredom, completely unaware of how much time had passed outside.
All he knew was that he could not wait any longer. The formation he had set up to imprison the Source of Fire Flower had already endured ten impacts from the Heart of the Fire God’s pulsations. If it faced another assault, the formation would shatter. At that point, the Fire Clan Elders would have to start sacrificing themselves again.
Wei Chen felt helpless as the Demon Lotus continued to orbit around the Heart of the Fire God, showing no signs of leaving. If this continued, the Fire Clan Elders would be doomed, once again facing a generous death. If their sacrifices held any value, it would be acceptable; dying for one's clan is normal. But dying inexplicably would be utterly pointless. The pulsation of the Heart of the Fire God was merely a self-rescue by the fire god himself, causing some disturbances in the Fire Source—it was not a collapse at all. Wei Chen only realized this after encountering the Heart of the Fire God; even if the people of the Fire Tribe thought about it for ten thousand years, they would never understand. Only after the Heart of the Fire God fully revived would they know that by then, most of their elders would have sacrificed themselves. The fire would still be there, and the Fire Clan Secret Realm would remain intact.
However, no one knew how long it would take for the Heart of the Fire God to revive. Would he just watch as one by one, the Fire Clan Elders generously sacrificed themselves? Or would they foolishly march to their deaths?
It was not worth it!
Wei Chen did not hold much affection for the Fire Tribe, but now that he understood the truth, he could not just stand by and watch such a thing happen.
“Demon Lotus, come with me. Stop lingering here. If you keep this up, all the Fire Clan Elders will die. If you truly want to help the fire god, then take me out first and let me inform the people of the Fire Tribe about what’s really happening. You can return afterward; it won’t be too late.”
Wei Chen looked at the Demon Lotus and said helplessly.
To his surprise, it seemed that the Demon Lotus understood his words; it flew to his side and began to swirl around him, expressing some unknown intent.
"Wei Chen said, 'Demon Lotus, I don't understand your meaning. I feel that you have developed some spiritual awareness, but it's still not complete. Can you understand what I'm saying?'
Demon Lotus continued to make its strange sounds, and Wei Chen was confused. Did it understand or not?
At that moment, the Heart of the Fire God began to pulse violently.
During his time there, Wei Chen had only seen the Heart of the Fire God beat slowly at intervals. However, this time, it was beating rapidly, almost like a normal human heart, pulsing once every second.
'This is bad; the people on the volcano must be going crazy with worry,' Wei Chen thought as he observed the suddenly vibrant Heart of the Fire God. He immediately thought of those waiting for him on the volcano, knowing they must be frantic.
He was right. On the volcano, Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, Fire Clan Elders, along with Donghua and Shaohou from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System were all feeling frantic.
They had no idea what was happening beneath the Fire Source, but waves of powerful energy surged forth, causing Wei Chen's formation to shatter in an instant. The Source of Fire Flower broke free from its constraints and began to spin wildly.
The vast expanse of Fire Element Energy surged chaotically at the volcano's peak. Flames quickly swept over them, forcing Donghua and Shaohou to retreat swiftly to a location dozens of miles away, watching from a distance as the volcano transformed into a mountain of flames.
Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the Fire Clan Elders managed to hold on for a while longer before they too fled. If they stayed any longer, their meager strength would turn to ashes in an instant.
They joined Donghua and Shaohou at a distance and stood together, gazing at the fiery mountain with tears in their eyes and expressions of shock.
Seeing the plight of the Fire Tribe people stirred sympathy in Donghua and Shaohou. Who could have known that what Wei Chen had promised would turn into a dream eight years later? The volcano not only failed to protect the Fire Source but instead experienced a catastrophic explosion that turned both the Fire Tribe and Sacred Mountain into a mountain of flames.
After this great fire, the foundation of the Fire Tribe would likely be completely destroyed.
Donghua and Shaohou exchanged glances filled with pity as they watched. The people of the Fire Tribe—whether it was their leader Fire Shadow or the elders—were all kneeling on the ground, worshipping towards that fiery mountain. Tears flowed freely from their eyes like they were worth nothing, soaking into the dry earth of the Fire Clan Secret Realm."
Donghua and Shaohou exchanged a few glances, silently moving away, leaving both time and space to the people of the Fire Tribe.
Within their ranks, a commotion had begun.
"Shaohuang God King, what should we do now?" This time, it was not the Great Merchant God King who lost his composure, but Zhuanxu who took the lead in asking.
Shaohuang God King pointed to the divine stone in his hand and replied calmly, "Even if that Fire Source were to explode, Wei Chen's Soul Power would still shine brilliantly. Don't you understand what that means?"
"But if we keep waiting like this, when will it end?"
"There's no need to worry. If the Fire Source has exploded and Wei Chen is inside, he holds no value anymore. It won't be long before he comes out. We've waited this long; what's a little longer?"
After hearing Shaohuang God King's words, everyone considered it and agreed. With the Fire Source gone, what could Wei Chen possibly be doing inside? Once the flames settled, Wei Chen would surely emerge.
...
The Fire Source exploded?
Not at all.
In fact, the Fire Source was a Divine Vessel between the earth; how could it possibly explode or disappear?
It might simply dislike its environment and autonomously relocate, but it would never explode or vanish without reason.
For it to disappear, countless powerful beings would need to unite and attack the Fire Source to break it apart into pieces of Fire Shard that could then be refined and absorbed by others. Only then would it truly vanish.
The volcano had now transformed into Flame Mountain, entirely due to the rapidly beating Heart of the Fire God. Waves of powerful energy surged forth, driving the Fire Source to violently release and absorb Fire Divine Power. The pure and dense Fire Divine Power gathered together, creating a massive inferno.
Wei Chen found himself within the internal space of the Fire Source, a secret realm of the Fire God, where he could not perceive the outside world. However, he could roughly guess some things based on what he could see—veins and thirty-six channels through which the Fire Divine Power flowed in and out, causing the Heart of the Fire God to thump rapidly.
As the Heart of the Fire God beat faster, Wei Chen felt as if it was about to awaken!
The Demon Lotus sensed the heartbeat of the Heart of the Fire God and was filled with joy, swirling around it in excitement.
Suddenly, Wei Chen noticed a trickle of energy being transmitted from the Demon Lotus to the Heart of the Fire God. This energy was the purest essence of the Demon Lotus Bloodline.
Previously, when the Demon Lotus circled around the Heart of the Fire God, it had delivered very little of its Bloodline power—so little that Wei Chen could hardly feel it. If it weren't for the increased intensity of energy transfer now, he wouldn't have even realized that the Demon Lotus was quietly supplying Bloodline power to the Heart of the Fire God.
Wei Chen felt a bit frustrated; after all, that Bloodline power belonged to him. Did it have his permission to send it to the Heart of the Fire God?
But the Demon Lotus paid no heed to Wei Chen's dissatisfaction and increased its transfer of Bloodline power even more.
Finally, after a period of waiting, the Demon Lotus returned to hover above Wei Chen's head and flew toward the passage outside.
In an instant, Wei Chen understood what White Out and Demon Lotus meant. He followed closely behind as they rushed out through the passage.
Before long, Wei Chen found himself back at the mountain's peak. Upon seeing the raging flames, he flew beyond the volcano to a spot not far from Donghua and Shaohou.
The Demon Lotus also returned to Wei Chen's Dantian, carefully lurking within.
Seeing Wei Chen, Donghua and Shaohou immediately soared toward him, their fourteen astonished eyes fixed intently on him.
Wei Chen chuckled and said, "Why are you all staring at me? Are you surprised to see that I'm not dead? Didn't I leave behind some Soul Power? You all should know whether I'm alive or dead!"
"We know, but it's really surprising that you could come out so quickly!" The Shaohuang God King had just been telling others that Wei Chen might come out soon, but unexpectedly, only a moment later, Wei Chen actually emerged.
Wei Chen smiled and replied, "What's so surprising? I was only in there for a little while. Why does everyone look so disheveled?"
"A little while?" Donghua and Shaohou were stunned. Did Wei Chen not notice the passage of time inside the Fire Source?
"Wei Chen, it's been eight years since we last saw you..." the Shaohuang God King said calmly.
This time it was Wei Chen's turn to be astonished. Eight years had passed?
"I was in there for eight years? Damn it, the affairs of the Southern Ming Divine Domain must have been delayed!" Wei Chen felt a surge of urgency. If he had disappeared for eight years, then the Southern Ming Divine Domain must have changed drastically by now.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud explosion, and the volcano in the distance erupted into flames!
The violent Fire Divine Power surged forth, instantly knocking Wei Chen and the others to the ground.
"Did the Fire Source really explode?"
