"Temple Master."
"Mm."
Upon seeing Wiserk arrive, Yagony responded, then wasted no time getting straight to the reason he had called him here.
"Through the Bonfire's search, the path to pursuing the Flame of the Eternal Altar has appeared before us."
"Next, you must make thorough preparations—"
Yagony first gave a solemn overview of the situation before explaining the details to Wiserk.
"This differs from the shattered Remnant Areas you encountered before."
"The place you are going this time is a special region beyond time."
"Namely—within history that once burned—"
"An era, or perhaps an age."
"Find where the Eternal Altar existed at that point in time, obtain the Altar Flame there and bring it back to the Bonfire. Then we can continue tracing the Eternal Altar's whereabouts."
Yagony explained the most crucial point of this operation, as well as its primary objective.
But Wiserk had a question at this point. "From what you mean—we will have to retrieve the [Altar Flame] from that history more than once?"

"That is why we could not find the Eternal Altar's whereabouts in those shattered regions—because it is not actually at the same point in time as us."
"Yet the Eternal Altar's Rekindled Flame has sent guidance through its former self burning in past history."
"Therefore, by finding the Altar Flame at each historical point, we can gradually trace the Eternal Altar's final whereabouts—"

But after the Bonfire's investigation, he discovered that was not the case.
Just as he had said, the culprit behind the Extinguishing had hidden the Eternal Altar
