I was dumbfounded. This fellow obviously couldn't read minds, but he really could calculate many things from causal logic.
Since he had calculated this far, it was clear that the body I had created ultimately couldn't avoid becoming entangled with causality. Once it became tainted by him, it was destined to be counted by a higher being as part of the grand scheme.
Seeing that I was speechless, Dragon Ancestor cackled. "If you weren't someone who had ignited the fire, then you must once have been a Great Luotian comparable to one who had ignited the fire?"
"Your Reverence must be joking. If I really were a Great Luotian comparable to someone who had ignited the fire, I wouldn't have gone to the Shattered Constellation. I could have simply used my own stellar affinity to return to Great Luotian." I gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Given enough time, a former Great Luotian would inevitably be able to use astral arts to return to its original position.
After all, the reason a Great Luotian could become a Great Luotian was that it was irreplicable and possessed the ability to control the Star God Seat.
Even the Heavenly Marrow, once refined into the body, was ultimately meant only to obtain an ability somewhat close to the Heavenly Dao's control over the Star God Seat. Possessing this power did not immediately make one invincible.
Therefore, even though Dragon Ancestor was interested in the Heavenly Marrow, his true objective should be something much greater.
