Flame Star's outer shell was actually Source Energy Fire Cores, except the outermost layer had already burned out and turned into Source Energy Fire Stones.
Some of these stones had crumbled into soil-like matter, while others still retained the original hardness of Source Energy Fire Cores.
Under normal circumstances, a brick-sized Source Energy Fire Core could burn for ten thousand years without outside interference. Since Source Energy Fire Cores burned layer by layer, this abyss revealed just how long Flame Star had been burning.
Lu Yang flew down along the fissure for more than three thousand meters before reaching the still-burning layer of Source Energy Fire Cores. The walls on both sides were made of burned-out Source Energy Fire Stones. Clearly, this planet had been burning for at least tens of billions of years.
"In the vast universe, cultivators like us may seem powerful, but what are we in the river of time?" Lu Yang said with a faint, self-mocking laugh after landing.
Purple Sun God King was somewhat shocked by Lu Yang's rationality. "Do you know a theory? The more powerful a cultivator is, the more capable they are of resisting the invasion of heavenly demons. Yet God King Tier 9 experts, or even Saint-tier experts, are more likely to lose themselves in their inner demons."
"Why?" Void God King asked.
Purple Sun God King said, "Because they cannot bear the arrogance brought by their immense power. The feeling that they can destroy stars and end worlds with a wave of their hand causes their inner demons to swell without limit, until they descend into madness. Lu Yang can still recognize himself despite possessing such immense power. No wonder you all believe in his future achievements. I am beginning to believe in him more and more as well."
