Hearing Wei Chen's words, Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow and the Fire Clan Elders were taken aback.
"Delve into the Source of Fire Flower?"
"Are you crazy?"
"That kind of behavior is simply asking for death!"
"No matter how strong one is, entering the Source of Fire Flower is a dead end!"
One of the Fire Elders immediately bowed deeply to Wei Chen and said solemnly, "My lord, that is absolutely out of the question! We all know the power of the Fire Source. Many elders in our clan have bravely sacrificed themselves. Once you get within a hundred meters of the Fire Source, the terrifying heat will instantly incinerate anyone."
Another elder chimed in, "Lord Wei Chen, we hope you will reconsider this matter. We cannot risk your life; it would also mean risking the survival of our entire Fire Tribe!"
"Lord Wei Chen, please think it over!"
"Yes, Lord Wei Chen. You have already helped us set up formations to solve our problems for a century, and we are very grateful. But please do not take such risks; it is undoubtedly a perilous endeavor!"
"Lord Wei Chen, as long as you lead our Fire Tribe with peace of mind, whether it's to conquer the continent or to eliminate a certain Supreme God force, we will do our utmost to assist you. Please forget about entering the Fire Source; we have lost hundreds of our old fellows inside it. We know all too well how formidable the Fire Source is."
The tone of this speaker was quite bold; it seemed that Wei Chen could indeed lead the Fire Tribe to eliminate a certain Supreme God force.
This also indirectly proved how powerful the Fire Tribe was!
Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow said in a deep voice, "Lord Wei Chen, I swear to you as the Fire Clan Leader that from now on, the Fire Tribe will be your vassal! As long as you provide us with formations in due time to protect our Fire Source from collapsing, everything else will be at your command."
Upon hearing this, the other Fire Clan Elders exchanged glances and communicated through Mental Strength before they all pledged to Wei Chen, willing to make him their lord and let the entire Fire Tribe become his vassal.
Wei Chen had saved their lives after all.
Hearing those words, Wei Chen calmly replied, "The Source of Fire Flower has not been completely resolved yet, and you are already satisfied?"
"Yes, we are satisfied. As long as we can survive and keep the entire Fire Tribe alive, it doesn't matter what happens to us."
"Lord Wei Chen, please don't take such risks. Your danger means the entire Fire Tribe is in danger with you. To put it bluntly, if anything were to happen to you, the whole Fire Tribe would be doomed, and that is a result we cannot bear."
"Lord Wei Chen, we are truly satisfied."
The members of the Fire Tribe spoke one after another, urging Wei Chen not to take risks; they felt they had done enough and were content.
Wei Chen scanned the faces of the Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the Fire Elders, a smile rising on his face. "I understand your concerns, but I have a habit when it comes to my work: once I start something, I must see it through to the best of my ability. Since I haven't achieved that yet, how can I give up?"
"And just like you said, if something were to happen to me and the Fire Tribe perished along with me, that is not a result I wish to see. Helping others means seeing it through to the end; I will completely resolve this fire crisis. Otherwise, I won't be able to find peace myself."
Wei Chen's words left the members of the Fire Tribe at a loss for what to do. Even Donghua and his six companions felt helpless; Wei Chen's pursuit of perfection was excessive. While it could hone his skills to some extent, they could all see that the concerns of the Fire Tribe members were heartfelt and not unfounded. They had already done so much, which indicated that delving into the Source of Fire Flower was far too dangerous.
Moreover, Donghua and his companions couldn't understand why this was even a question. It was clear that most of the Fire Elders were at the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle, with a few at the Sixth Level Divine Realm. The previous Fire Elder who transformed into gas was at the Sixth Level Divine Realm! With such power, getting within a hundred meters of the Source of Fire Flower resulted in transformation into gas—how could Wei Chen possibly penetrate its depths?
It wasn't just the Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the Fire Clan Elders who opposed this; even Wei Chen's subordinates—Donghua and his six companions—were against it.
They couldn't help but oppose him. If Wei Chen were careless and died, their mainstay would be gone, halting all actions in the Endless Divine Realm. The safety of the Ancient World would follow suit. Without Wei Chen, who knew if the Endless Divine Realm would turn back on them and begin gathering an army again to invade the Ancient World for a devastating battle?
Donghua and his companions looked at Wei Chen and communicated telepathically:
"Wei Chen, don't be reckless; this matter is too dangerous. Think it through first."
"Wei Chen, if anything happens to you, the Ancient World will also fall apart. The Fire Tribe doesn't concern us as much, but what about your domain of magic? Your wives? Your children? They will all perish!"
"That Black Mage Scholar must have grown into a handsome young man by now; don't you think about your family?"
"Wei Chen, no matter what you do, we will support you. But this matter, disregarding the safety of the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System for the sake of the Fire Tribe's safety, makes no sense!"
"The Fire Tribe has already sworn loyalty to you. Just let it go; at most, it will be a bit troublesome in the future, requiring us to set up formations here periodically. But that's still better than taking risks."
"That's right. The Fire Tribe is already yours. Take care of them; don't foolishly continue down this path."
Donghua and the other six spoke up to advise him, their anxious voices reaching Wei Chen's ears.
Wei Chen had always been someone who didn't listen to others' opinions. Donghua and the others were well aware of this, but this time, they hoped Wei Chen would take their words to heart, as it concerned the lives of many.
In their eyes, what was the Fire Tribe? It was merely a case of helping out when they saw injustice. They had done enough at this level. The most important thing was always the safety of the Ancient World.
Moreover, Donghua and the others didn't hold the Fire Tribe in high regard. Although they appeared strong, they were lacking in skilled fighters.
Without Sixth-Level Deity strength, they wouldn't stand a chance when chaos erupted in the Endless Divine Realm.
"You all think I would act recklessly if I didn't have confidence? I need the Fire Tribe's assistance. Think about it: how many Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm experts does the Fire Tribe have? There must be hundreds! Once I set up the formation and help them break through smoothly, that means hundreds of Sixth-Level Deities!"
"Such a powerful force would make it easy to eliminate any Supreme God faction. We are the essence of strength; Sixth-Level Deities are truly the backbone power. As for numbers, more is always better."
Donghua and his six companions listened to Wei Chen's transmission but paid little attention to his subsequent words. They focused on one key point: Did Wei Chen have confidence? Could he enter the Source of Fire Flower?
"Wei Chen, the burning ability of the Source of Fire Flower is stronger than anything else. How do you plan to enter its interior?" Shaohuang God King asked.
Wei Chen replied, "Stellar Power can resist the burning force of Fire Source; that's a given."
"Let's put that aside for now. Later, help me get inside the Fire Source," Wei Chen communicated with Donghua and his companions, concluding this discussion. Their objections were futile.
After calming Donghua and his companions' emotions, Wei Chen turned to Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow and the Fire Clan Elders, smiling as he said, "I, Wei Chen, always act with a plan. Although it's very difficult, it must be tried. Since you have all pledged loyalty to me, then the entire Fire Tribe is my people. I cannot just stand by and watch danger continue to exist while I leave openly; such a thing is not something I can do."
Wei Chen's grand words deeply moved the people of the Fire Tribe.
If there had been some reluctance in their previous loyalty, now, seeing Wei Chen's resolute attitude, both the Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the Fire Clan Elders sincerely admired him.
A series of hopeful and expectant gazes were fixed on Wei Chen.
If they could completely resolve the situation, if they could restore a safe and stable living environment for the Fire Clan Secret Realm, who wouldn't be willing?
They all dreamed of witnessing that moment!
Wei Chen took a deep breath and said, "Give me some time to recover. The operation into the Fire Source will begin soon. I have exhausted too much energy and need to replenish it."
With that, Wei Chen sat cross-legged as before. Donghua and his six companions quickly surrounded him, acting as loyal guards and keeping the people of the Fire Tribe at bay.
Although they did not know exactly what Wei Chen intended to do, Donghua and his companions had guessed some things. Wei Chen had warned them that Stellar Power could withstand the invasion from the Fire Source...
Was it Stellar Power that Wei Chen intended to use?
"Shao Huang God King, among us, you are always the most calm and astute. What do you think is behind Wei Chen's eagerness to venture into the Fire Source?" a voice from the Great Shang Divine Dynasty inquired of Shao Huang God King.
After a moment of thought, Shao Huang God King replied, "No one works without profit. Wei Chen has already gained the loyalty of the Fire Tribe; logically, he shouldn't need to take such risks. Although Stellar Power can resist the invasions desired by the Peach Blossom Sect, we must not forget that there is still significant danger. No one knows what conditions exist within the Fire Source; can Stellar Power hold up in such circumstances? Therefore, I boldly speculate that Wei Chen must have some benefits he hopes to gain; otherwise, he wouldn't be so proactive."
