"What a pity. Having fallen into the Flame River, this boy is certain to die."
The Amber Crystal Man shook his head.
The Flame River was filled entirely with Flame Chaos Origin, and the pressure it contained was far too immense. Never mind Qin Hao, a mere half-step true god—even an ordinary true god could not withstand it.
"The Flame River truly tests Comprehension and Willpower. In terms of Comprehension, only mastering the Flame Chaos Origin fulfills the requirement."
"But to master the Flame Chaos Origin, one must fall into the Flame River. An ordinary person would certainly die upon falling in, unless they could withstand its pressure with terrifying Willpower. Yet even if their Willpower held out, their divine body might not."
The Amber Crystal Man shook his head again.
The two conditions seemed somewhat contradictory, but the Amber Crystal Man knew.
It was not necessarily impossible!
It was simply far too difficult to achieve both at once.
Comprehending the Flame Chaos Origin within the Flame River was almost impossible.
In fact, Qin Hao's ability to comprehend the Flame Chaos Origin above the Flame River had already astonished the Amber Crystal Man, even though he had only mastered a sliver of it.
As a puppet Ancestral God Lingchang had left behind specifically to select an inheritor, the Amber Crystal Man enjoyed considerable freedom. He could judge which conditions fulfilled Ancestral God Lingchang's requirements, but regardless of his judgment, he could not interfere with the selection.
Much less prevent anything from happening.
Thus, despite his high opinion of Qin Hao, the Amber Crystal Man would not intervene now that Qin Hao had fallen into the Flame River.
That was precisely why the Amber Crystal Man felt such regret.
Having fallen into the Flame River, Qin Hao was certain to die.
