"Young man, stop talking nonsense." The old man known as the city lord finally stopped chiseling and turned to look at Fan Lang. His eyes were clouded and dim. "The Fallen Sky Strange Fire was formed when an Outer Heavens was destroyed. I know who you are, and I know you became the Heavenly Emperor of two Outer Heavens. Don't tell me you plan to sacrifice one of your Outer Heavens to create a new Fallen Sky Strange Fire?"
"Of course not. Trading an Outer Heavens for the Fallen Sky Strange Fire would be far too costly," said Fan Lang.
"Exactly. You could never make such a sacrifice, so naturally you cannot reignite the Fallen Sky Strange Fire." The old man shook his head.
"I'll use another method to reignite the Fallen Sky Strange Fire, one that neither damages any Outer Heavens nor requires the creation of a new Fallen Sky Strange Fire."
"You make it sound too simple. If it were truly that simple, I would have reignited it long ago. How could I have allowed Holy Fire City to fall into such a state?"
Whether it works or not, time will tell. I have one condition. If I can reignite the Fallen Sky Strange Fire, then Holy Fire City will belong to me from now on. You may continue serving as the city lord, but you must follow my arrangements. From this day forward, this will be one of the territories of the Star Cloud Alliance."
"Heh heh, you certainly know how to joke. Fine, we'll do as you say. If you can reignite the Fallen Sky Strange Fire, this city will be yours, and even these old bones of mine will submit to you. If you fail, you need not pay any price. Just don't come disturb
