Xuan Zi's feeling had been correct. Candlelight was not a creature born on the Douluo Continent, but one from an even more ancient and advanced plane.
Even Ye Chen himself did not understand the mystery behind it.
Candlelight withdrew his gaze and said, "Because this concerns the survival of the Douluo Continent. If it were before, I could have simply fled this place and found a new continent to recover my strength. But now, my abilities are limited. If this continent disappears, I will perish with it."
Candlelight's voice had been specially concealed, allowing only the two of them to hear it. Xuan Zi, standing not far away, could see them but could not even read their lips.
