Chapter 612: 561 confirmed one

"What are you hiding from?" The Red God fell silent for a moment, looking at the flock of geese that flew past outside the window, "I’m not sure what I was hiding from either. That day, the Royal’s City suddenly caught fire, and the resplendent terrifying golden light exploded in an instant. Right after that was the disappearance of the Royal’s City, and the Primordial Soil fell into chaos. At the time, I was just a soldier in the Thousand Leaves Army, not part of the middle or high ranks, so I was unaware of the specifics. But..."

"But what?" Li Chengyi asked.

"But, the disappearance of the Royal’s City had actually been foretold," The Red God sighed, "The last emperor was reckless and unbridled in destroying everything within sight. He was keen on converting the life force of every race into an ’Evil Flower’ and collecting it within the Imperial Palace. Too many of the Black Sea races were destroyed because of him. It was inevitable that it would lead to turmoil and rebellion."

"..." Li Chengyi had nothing to say in response, it seemed that the Red God also harbored resentment towards the previous Emperor of Flowers.

"As for after the destruction, the many factions fighting over the resources of the Royal’s City was to be expected – the victors become kings, the losers outlaws, there’s nothing much to say," the Red God continued.

"So are you saying that if I were to now rebuild the Primordial King City... I wouldn’t encounter any danger?" Li Chengyi asked.

"To be precise, the Black Sea is boundless; it’s unlikely to encounter those who divvied up the spoils back then. I didn’t understand at the time, but now, I have some understanding," the Red God paused, then added, "Both the first and second generation emperors pursued the ultimate frontier of intellect - the Omniscient Realm. It seems they also reached the pinnacle of omniscience and began to touch upon the forbidden boundaries."

"Omniscient..." Li Chengyi furrowed his brows, this was the second time he had heard this term. The last time was from Professor Mimam.

It is said that Lan Meng, too, had touched the edge of omniscience.

"What are the forbidden boundaries?" he asked.

"Those are the unknown, the dividing line between knowledge and the unknown," the Red God replied, "The Black Sea is dark because the vast majority of it is unknown. Beings understand the external world through sensory perception of intellect. So, what can an entity with no perception rely on to become aware of everything outside?"

Li Chengyi pondered deeply; indeed, perception is the root of any civilization, the cornerstone of all disciplines from ignorance to enlightenment.

"So what’s the answer?" he asked.

"I don’t know. I’m just a pawn, I’ve only heard my superiors discuss such issues. It is said that the previous Divine Flower Generals, due to His Majesty’s reasons, also reached the realm of transformation. So their power was so immense that it instilled fear in all creatures. Their form of existence also completely transformed into shapes beyond our comprehension," the Red God shook his head.

Li Chengyi’s mind flashed with his own thoughts and insights.

The Emperor of Flowers failed, and now it seemed that what really defeated them was not internal strife, but an accident.

"What do you plan to do next?" he asked quietly.

"You were a Divine Flower General of the Royal’s City, right? I would like to follow you and help rebuild the Primordial King City," the Red God stated earnestly.

"Is that so?" Li Chengyi looked at the sincere expression of the Red God, naturally not so easily convinced, but the Red God’s power was indeed very strong. Without wearing the Divine Flower Garment, he had no way to completely kill the other; at most, he could only defeat him.

"The Royal’s City belongs to the past, but the remnants of the resistance forces should still exist. Please be very careful," the Red God continued.

"Which ones?" Li Chengyi asked gravely.

"The Void Mother and the Colossal Beast Asladuni."

"..." Li Chengyi had no words in response; so it was all old acquaintances. Professor Mimam belonged to the Behemoth Sect, and the Void Mother was one of the oldest beings in the Black Sea, mentioned by the sect leader in Panguang.

"However, in the last several tens of thousands of years, I’ve heard that the Void Mother and the remaining Divine Flower Generals engaged in a fierce battle and were both reduced to ashes, leaving only lingering survivors gasping for breath. The Colossal Beast Asladuni was seriously wounded and fell into a deep slumber, with its awakening time unknown. Its dreams have created numerous massive ’Blind Spot’ realms within the Black Sea."

"..." Dreaming to create numerous Blind Spots; this level was indeed a bit too much for him to handle.

He should now focus on more practical matters.

For instance, finding Paine and his family first.

"By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with," Li Chengyi said more politely since he knew the identity of the other party.

"Please speak. If it is within my power, I shall do my utmost to help," the Red God replied indifferently.

"This is the situation: I’m looking for my family and subordinates. According to my senses, they should also be in this prison," Li Chengyi said.

"Some time ago, indeed, a group of people came in. However, they are very good at hiding. I’ve searched a few times but never managed to find their traces. According to the general area, they should be in this region."

The Red God stretched out his hand and pointed, and a translucent phantom suddenly appeared in the air in front of them, showing the core space inside the prison.

Seven planets revolved slowly around a fireball, and a region surrounding the fifth planet was circled separately.

"Can you help me find them?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I would be honored to serve you," the Red God bowed slightly, then transformed into a streak of red light that shrunk into a red dot and disappeared.

Li Chengyi was left sitting alone on the chair, fidgeting with a pen in his hand, deep in thought.

After a long while, he got up, disbanded the Death Energy Formation, and walked out of the office.

Outside, Nilan sat on a small stool by the bed, basking in the sunlight and daydreaming.

Dunis was not there, and Niya had gone to a banquet and was still out of town.

The rest of the staff were gathering information, and they all saluted when they saw Li Chengyi.

He walked out of the office and unconsciously ended up at the spot where the dwarf was begging.

Anya’s cry of surprise coincidentally rang out again.

The begging dwarf rolled over, skillfully charged into the alley on all fours, and in the blink of an eye, knocked down the two bullies bothering the resting Anya with a wooden bowl.

The bullies screamed and fled, leaving the two looking at each other, speechless.

"Thank you for saving me again," Anya got up and bowed to the dwarf earnestly and gracefully.

"No need to thank me; I just happened to be here," the dwarf smiled in response.

Although it was the twenty-third time he had saved someone, the sight of Anya made him feel warm all over and content.

Even though he did not know why he always happened to come across Anya being bullied, the results were good, and that was enough for him.

"Even though it’s an old tactic, isn’t the effect pretty good?" Li Chengyi watched this scene from a distance, smiling satisfactorily.

He could feel the dwarf’s Consciousness Power transforming little by little, heading towards the Realm of Sublimation.

’Just two more times. According to this rate of improvement, he should reach Sublimation.’

With that thought, he simply found a nearby teahouse, entered, sat down, and once again used Ming Guang to amplify the Evil Thoughts around Anya.

Then, he arranged for another delivery to be made, specifying that it should again approach the location of the gnome.

It was now just before eleven in the morning, and a heroic rescue had just occurred.

At three in the afternoon, after giving them a few hours to rest, they could have another go.

And then, on the way back to sleep in the evening, there could be one more time, which should be enough to accumulate the Sublimation effect.

Li Chengyi watched the two getting along like a house on fire, clearly no longer needing his deliberate efforts to foster their relationship, and felt quite pleased in his heart.

As time slowly passed and it approached evening, the gnome, tired out, was preparing to go back under the bridge to rest when he once again heard a familiar cry for help.

He reflexively dashed towards the sound, rushing into a dark alley.

Inside the teahouse, Li Chengyi patted his windbreaker, stood up to pay, walked out the door, and returned towards the direction of his office.

Behind him, the faint sound of Anya’s sobbing could be heard. Two lonely figures clung tightly to each other.

At this moment, the gnome’s Consciousness Power finally underwent a qualitative transformation.

At the same time, within Li Chengyi’s Primordial Spirit Sword Palace, a brand-new Human-Faced Spirit Sword formed once more, and the walls of the palace slowly began to show the bas-relief of the gnome’s face.

The twentieth Origin Seal emerged on the Human-Faced Spirit Sword, and at the same time, the blade flew towards the colossal Sword Furnace, fitting into it like a puzzle piece, forming a massive metallic blade.

Whoosh!

The ethereal flames within the Sword Furnace finally began to solidify and spread outwards.

Twenty Imprints, at this very moment, lit up one after another on the Greatsword.

The Greatsword is the Sword Furnace; it is Li Chengyi’s very Primordial Spirit.

He quietly felt all the changes, experiencing the dual elevation of his body and Consciousness Power.

The First Realm of True Fire, Ethereal Fire, was successfully reached.

Ethereal Fire forges the most elusive and intangible part of the spirit’s body and is the most important first step in laying the foundation for the future.

Walking along the street, Li Chengyi looked up at the now higher arc of the moon and suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.

The Earth-Moon underwent drastic changes, family and followers fled, the origins of the Evil Flower began to be revealed, and he himself had now reached a level where he could keep himself safe.

What the future held, what lay ahead, he did not know.

Ever since he had come to this world, he had been alone, with the pressure from the outside world forcing him to keep moving forward step by step.

But now, having stepped into the True Fire, he finally seemed to have a chance to breathe.

Walking under the street lamps, the dim yellow light divided the road into sections.

The blackish-grey stone pavement still held traces of pale yellow clumps of mud, and some tender green grass shoots were struggling out of the cracks.

Sigh.

Li Chengyi exhaled; after entering the True Fire Realm, he could finally take a slight breather.

He put his hands in his coat pockets and slowly took steps forward, as the crisp air mingled with the faint scent of perfume left by passersby ahead, unexpectedly turning into a pleasant smell.

Bowing his head, he followed the curve ahead, stepping out of the range of the streetlights, his boots making a clattering noise on a cracked stone slab.

Whoom!

All of a sudden, an eerie and massive distortion enveloped everything around him, completely locking him in place.

"Eh?" Li Chengyi’s brow furrowed; he struggled with all his might, but couldn’t break free.

His thoughts stirred up True Fire to envelope himself, but it was still to no avail.

Then he called upon the Sword of Wisdom formed by his Consciousness Power for protection. Invisible blades burst forth rapidly from his body, shooting out from his pores, circling him in a whirl.

But the Sword of Wisdom had barely made one loop before it was also suppressed and twisted by an invisible colossal pressure, emitting a sad wail, disintegrating and disappearing.

’What’s going on!??’ Li Chengyi’s heart went cold; the powerful True Fire fueled by the Twenty Seals blazed furiously, with the center being himself, his skin beginning to ignite with a faint golden flame.

These half-transparent flames were extremely hot, pressing out and removing all anomalies around them.

The Ethereal Fire, a blend of physical, energy, and Consciousness Power among other forces, was not limited to a single facet of attack, but rather, according to the type infused by the Origin Seals, could target different aspects and burn them directly.

Creak...

Everything around him stood still, only in front of Li Chengyi, a piercing sound slowly emerged in the air.

The clear space seemed to reveal a massive vortex, about two people tall.

Inside the semi-transparent vortex, a considerable pulling force was emitted, encompassing Li Chengyi, attempting to drag him into it.

And all the breaths and forces of the outer world at this moment were subtly pushing Li Chengyi towards the center of the vortex.

’This feeling...!??’ Suddenly, Li Chengyi sensed a familiar presence in his heart.

"Is it the Blind Spot!?"

He immediately realized what was happening. It must be the pull and transportation of the Blind Spot, only the process was slowed down countless times, and with his now powerful strength, he could witness the entire procedure.

How the Blind Spot captures a Blind Spot Individual, the whole process, was something the past Li Chengyi could not detect at all.

But now, under the protection of Ethereal Fire, he could see everything clearly, as if watching in slow motion.

The twisted colossal force and Li Chengyi’s Ethereal Fire power were at a standoff for a while, and only after more than ten minutes did they slowly fade away.
