The noise attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
When they saw the Blue Flame People, they kept pointing and whispering.
"How dare these traitors cause trouble in Torch City!"
"Take him down immediately!"
"You go?"
"I can't pass the CET-6 exam, but I can cheer you guys on from behind."
"..."
Looking at the man slumped on the ground, trembling, Blue Flame People said in a deep voice, "Apologize."
He was surrounded by blue flames, like a fiery war God of War.
The man spat at his feet. "You dare to challenge me?"
Blue Flame People's expression grew increasingly cold and stern.
A blue fire dragon materialized at his waist, then lunged at the man's head.
In a panic, the man covered his head with his hands and shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I'm so sorry!"
Whew~
The fire dragon dissipated from the man's forehead.
Blue Flame People snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The man sprawled on the ground was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled from the water, with a puddle of yellow liquid beneath his buttocks.
The Blue Flame People hadn't gone far when they were stopped by a patrol team from Torch City.
"Stop!"
"Raise both hands above your head, without any unnecessary movements."
Just as the Blue Flame People was about to unleash his Blue Flame, the soldiers suddenly parted to the sides, and a gloomy-faced Maka Race man stepped out.
"Come on, let me see the strength of the Blue Flame Race Hunter."
The Maka Race man, dressed in military uniform, smiled slightly at the Blue Flame People.
After a moment of silence, the Blue Flame People raised his hands, offering no resistance.
The man in military uniform snorted coldly, seemingly extremely disappointed.
Two soldiers stepped forward, took out ropes, tied the Blue Flame People's hands, and escorted him away.
As he passed the man in military uniform, the man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "If you had resisted just now, I would have had a good reason to kill you on the spot."
"As expected, you despicable alien races are all a bunch of spineless cowards."
Blue Flame People was expressionless as he was led away by the patrol team, and the onlookers on the street dispersed as well.
Qin Ze withdrew his gaze. "Is this the show you were talking about?"
Zhan Li nodded. "How was it? Wasn't it amazing? Did that guy's Fire Movement Technique look familiar to you?"
Qin Ze did not answer.
It's more than just familiar.
His Fire Movement Technique was almost identical to his.
The only difference is in the breathing technique.
However, no one else could tell.
"It's getting late, time to head back to the hotel."
"The beast tide just ended, and the city is in chaos right now; it's not a good time for shopping."
"We'll get out of the Abyss thing tomorrow morning."
After finishing her "Clean Plate Campaign, "Zhan Li pulled out a napkin and wiped her mouth.
Qin Ze barely ate a few bites.
The distinctive cuisine of the Maka Race can no longer be described as "unpalatable".
Even a dog would probably refuse to accept it.
Back at the hotel, Qin Ze voiced the confusion that had been nagging at him in the restaurant.
What's the deal with that alien?
Zhan Li sat down on the sofa and said calmly, "When you go to see that Fifth Prince, he will tell you."
Qin Ze frowned slightly. "I need to know now."
Zhan Li leaned back. "Let me think... where should I even begin to tell this story?"
"I've got it. I have to start with the empire's founding emperor."
Qin Ze smirked upon hearing this. "Why don't you start from the creation myth of Pangu?"
Zhan Li countered, "Who is Pangu?"
Qin Ze waved his hand. "Stop talking nonsense, just say it."
Zhan Li slowly began to speak, "The empire's first founding emperor, Shang, unified the continent and established the Maka Empire."
"Later, the Gate of the Abyss opened, the Empire established Torch City, and made its first contact with alien beasts and the civilizations of Myriad Races."
" The Abyss is home to many wanderers, and behind each wanderer tribe lies the foundation of a civilization."
"At that time, the Maca civilization was too weak. In order to rise quickly and gain a foothold in the Abyss, Emperor Shang formulated a law that still has an impact today—the ' Wanderer Reception Act.'"
"According to the ' Wanderer Reception Act,' any vagabond tribe that still retains its cultural heritage and is willing to dedicate it entirely to the Maka Race can become a member of the Maka Race and enter the world, no longer needing to wander in the Abyss."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze couldn't help but admire the talent of this Emperor Shang.
This approach could indeed facilitate the rapid absorption of power from other civilizations, but the integration of civilizations is far more complex than that.
Even within a single civilization, various organizations and factions will emerge; how much more so when two different civilizations Fusion together?
Qin Ze said, "Continue."
Zhan Li continued, "With this law, the empire absorbed the essence of many foreign civilizations, and the Maka Race has thus rapidly grown and prospered."
"In the more than two hundred years following the enactment of the law, the Maka Race adopted more than a dozen nomadic civilizations."
"Everything was going very smoothly until the appearance of the Blue Flame People Civilization in the restaurant."
"The reason why wanderers become wanderers is because their world has been destroyed, they have nowhere to stand, and they can only mingle in the Abyss."
"For this reason, nomadic tribes are usually small in number."
"From a few thousand to hundreds of thousands."
"After Maka Race, they will be quickly assimilated, since they have even lost the World Imprint."
"In contrast, the Blue Flame Race is quite unique."
"They preserved the main world and over 90% of the population, losing only a small portion of the world."
"Their World Imprint remains, but their World Will has vanished."
Do you know what the World Will is?
Qin Ze nodded, signaling him to continue.
He not only knew, but was also the Chosen One appointed by the World Will.
Zhan Li sighed, "Without the protection of the World Will, the Abyss will easily erode the world."
"In order to ensure the continuation of their Spark, the Blue Flame Race wants to merge their world with that of the Maka Race, so that they can receive the protection of the Maka Race's World Will."
"But the Blue Flame Race's civilization is too well preserved, and their population is only one-third smaller than the Maka Race's. The royal family is worried about inviting trouble."
"Until the Blue Flame Race revealed the foundation of their civilization: Fire Movement Technique."
"After witnessing the power of Fire Movement Technique, the royal family decided to accept the Blue Flame Race."
"Thus, the two worlds merged, the continental area doubled, and it was divided into North and South."
The Maka Race is located on the Southern Continent, while the Blue Flame Race is located on the Northern Continent.
"Now, several hundred years have passed, Maka Race has always wanted to assimilate the Blue Flame Race in the same way they assimilated other nomadic civilizations."
"But even with more members of the Blue Flame Race joining the Council, we haven't succeeded in doing so all these years."
Qin Ze now finally understands the origin of the Maka Race's Fire Movement Technique.
He was both pleased and somewhat disappointed.
It is gratifying that the Blue Flame Race still exists, and the Great Sage's sacrifices back then were not in Bai Bai.
Disappointingly, after so many years, the Blue Flame Race's World Will, which should have been reborn, has not yet appeared.
What are these Blue Flame People up to?
Zhan Li looked into Qin Ze's eyes. "I've already resolved your confusion; now it's your turn to resolve mine."
"Who exactly did you learn your Fire Movement Technique from?"
