The fire burned on and on.
The capital, already reduced to ruins, has become a blue hell.
Looking out the window, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh heavily.
The Blue Flame People's fate was somewhat tragic.
You could say they were cutting their losses to survive, or you could say their actions were merely a desperate attempt to prolong their lives.
However, it is undeniable that this civilization displayed an unparalleled cohesion in the face of a massive external crisis.
Some people were willing to sacrifice themselves to save the lives of other members of their race and to give hope to the entire race.
Whether it's the city guards, the councilors downstairs, or the Great Sage, they can all be considered heroes of the Blue Flame Race.
Qin Ze recalled the various behaviors of the Human Race in the Jiang City Otherworld and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Their performance can only be described in one word.
Shameful!
The Blue Flame People's understanding and development of the World Will and the Source of the World far surpasses that of the Human Race.
After all, they can even pull off something as imaginative as cutting the world apart.
Looking at the Great Sage, now reduced to a skeleton on the chair, Qin Ze couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
Being the Chosen One is too dangerous.
He knew that old man under the tree wasn't up to any good.
They insist on putting the Chosen One on their own forehead.
The surrounding scenery disappeared, and the playback of the Image Recording Stone completely ended.
The Dharma King stepped forward and began to knock and bang on the objects again.
That's it?
Image Recording Stone: "..."
The Giant Overlord said calmly, "Even the Great Sage is gone, so there's no more."
Brother Devour said, " The Blue Flame Race does have something; this Great Sage can be considered a pillar of the Blue Flame Race."
"I'm quite curious about the current situation of the remaining Blue Flame People who were cut off."
Qin Ze said, "Having taken away so much of the Source of the World, we shouldn't be doomed."
He then went up to the Great Sage and touched his tattered robe, but found nothing.
In the end, they simply took the ring off his hand and put it in their pocket.
This ring is quite ordinary; it doesn't offer much storage space, but it's rather pretty.
" The Great Sage was a respectable man in life; let him be buried and rest in peace."
Upon hearing this, Giant Overlord picked up the bones from the chair and went downstairs to bury them with the other councilors.
Qin Ze patted the Image Recording Stone and said to the Dharma King, "Take it away."
The Dharma King took out a bag, put the ball in it, and carried it on his shoulder.
After the Giant Overlord buried everyone, Qin Ze and his group left the tower.
They stayed in the tower for almost a day.
The main problem is that there are too many instructional videos from Great Sage.
Qin Ze hasn't skipped a single one yet.
Qin Ze then spent some time exploring the four surrounding buildings.
Similar to the situation inside the tower, time has taken everything away.
Only some bottles and jars were left, but Qin Ze wasn't interested in them.
"Shall we go out?" the Dharma King asked, carrying the ball on his back.
Qin Ze gazed into the distance. "There are two more places."
"The hole that Brother Yuanzi mentioned."
"And in the scene, the place where the token fell."
Qin Ze took out the token and played with it in his hand for a while.
He had not forgotten his original purpose for entering this world.
Investigating the Source of the World.
Following the general direction in which the token disappeared in the scene shown on the Image Recording Stone, Qin Ze and the others quickly headed there.
More than an hour later, they stopped on a sand dune.
"It should be around here," Qin Ze said.
The blue flames have burned relentlessly for thousands of years, turning the Eastern Domain into a lifeless desert.
Qin Ze took out his binoculars and began to observe.
They quickly located a building that was half collapsed not far away.
"Found it."
The group rode at breakneck speed and arrived at their destination in a flash.
This is a dilapidated temple.
There is a statue of Blue Flame People holding a long sword in the open space ahead.
Some of his features are the same as the Blue Flame People wielding a strange fire in the mural.
Qin Ze estimated that he was probably the first Great Sage of the Blue Flame Race.
The temple has a pointed roof, and one and a half of its four walls have collapsed.
The Blue Flame People seem to have a particular fondness for these pointed-roof buildings.
Many of the houses in the capital city had pointed roofs.
Qin Ze cautiously entered the temple.
There must have been a statue of a deity here before, but now only the base remains.
In the center of the temple, Qin Ze saw that the ground had collapsed into a large hole.
Flames are continuously spewing out from it.
Qin Ze's eyes lit up.
This is the place Brother Yuanzi was talking about.
It turned out to be the same place where the token disappeared.
Just as Brother Yuanzi said, you can't get into this hole.
Even if there is Shelter Space, the entrance to the cave is still off-limits.
It's as if there's a special barrier, isolating everything from the outside.
[Discovering 327 Units of the Source of the World ]
Upon seeing the clue suddenly provided by the key, Qin Ze exclaimed, "Wow!"
So much time has passed, yet so many of the Source of the World still remain.
One-third of what it was originally—that's a lot!
Unfortunately, there was no notification to retrieve the key.
So many Source of the World can only be looked at, not even touched.
Qin Ze was absolutely certain that the Source of the World was inside the cave.
But I can't get in. I'm getting bald.
"Look at this, doesn't it look familiar?"
The Dharma King called out from behind the pedestal of the statue.
Qin Ze leaned closer and noticed a groove on the base.
The shape of the groove perfectly matches the token.
The Dharma King looked at Qin Ze Yangyang and said, "Quickly say thank you to Father Dharma King."
Qin Ze pushed the Dharma King aside and pressed the token inside.
The next second...
Nothing happened.
The seal at the cave entrance remained intact, so we still couldn't get in.
Qin Ze frowned slightly and looked at the Image Recording Stone on the Dharma King's back.
Could it be that some detail was missed?
Qin Ze quickly recalled the events.
Since it's viewed by hundreds of clones simultaneously, it's essentially stored directly on the hard drive and can be retrieved at any time.
Even after recalling it twice, he still couldn't make any new discoveries.
Sigh~
Qin Ze sighed and glanced reluctantly at the cave entrance.
Since things have come to this, we can only go out and discuss the matter further.
To linger here is simply a pointless waste of the Source of the World.
"May the Thunder God help me!"
The Dharma King threw a bolt of lightning towards the cave entrance.
The lightning was swallowed up by the dark opening without causing the slightest ripple.
"They've withdrawn."
Qin Ze marked the location and led the Dharma King and the other two towards the exit.
Since the entrance to the Blue Flame Realm was established, the population of Thousand Streams Island has been increasing every day.
The ticket window at the entrance is also open 24 hours a day.
There are always those who are not afraid of death, thinking that they can fight against Blue Flame just because they have a fireproof Martial Artifact.
It's late at night.
The ticket inspector yawned; someone would be coming to relieve him in an hour, and he was already thinking about where to go for drinks later.
I heard there's a new bar that opened in Block 10, and the girls there are all amazing.
Hehehe...
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but drool.
Just then, the portal suddenly fluctuated, a sign that someone was about to emerge.
The ticket inspector stared wide-eyed, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.
The fire has been burning for hours, how could anyone still come out?
The Dharma King, carrying the Image Recording Stone, was the first to step out of the spatial portal, meeting the ticket inspector's blank eyes.
The Dharma King raised an eyebrow. "Look at your mother's eyes."
