"Why did you suddenly ask about that?" the Progenitor asked in surprise.
Lu Yin recounted what had happened to Karmic Obstacles and Tian En. "Only the flames of Primordial City and Uncle Jiang's Filth Treasure could destroy the character '天.' That leaves me wondering whether the flames are a Filth Treasure, too."
The Progenitor praised him. "Zhu Zi, you're very clever. Not only are the flames a Filth Treasure, the entire Primordial City is one."
Lu Yin was stunned. "The entire Primordial City is a Filth Treasure?"
The Progenitor looked up. "It used to be. When we first arrived at Primordial City, we confirmed that the city was a Filth Treasure. But as time passed, the Eternal Clan attacked, and the flames kept burning. In the end, the treasure decayed. If it had still been as it was when we first arrived, that Bone Boat would never have been able to crash its way in."
"Whose Filth Treasure was Primordial City?" Lu Yin asked hastily.
The Progenitor shook his head. "This universe has known more than just our Human Civilization. Other civilizations existed before us. We don't know whether they were human, or even whether they had humans. Primordial City doesn't belong to our era."
"And that character '天' you mentioned must be a method Fate uses to control the Four Directional Guardians. Who knows how many other powerful people in this universe Fate controls?"

The powerful beings here had too many ties to the outside world.
