"I'm the Fire Roc Saint." The black-haired man smiled.

"I've been watching you guys for a while now."

Baek Ain frowned, "From the beginning?"

Fire Roc Saint chuckled, "From the very beginning. Yes, the very moment you arrived at the Heavenly Fire Prison Realm."

Baek Ain's frown deepened, "Hmm..."

"Don't make that face. I have no interest in your secret, though some did shock me beyond understanding. For example, the Genesis Qi Cultivation Technique you trained is not from this world." Fire Roc Saint couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"It has the aura of Primordial Divine Beast, something only 1st Sequence God has. Even though I was shocked, I had no interest in such a fierce fire element. The Fire Roc's Flame is enough for my lifetime."

"There is also the six-armed and three-faced figure. I'm dying to know its origin, but I felt the Heaven Genesis World isn't his opponent."

"Eventually, you reached the golden gate. It is the final test to see if my inheritor is worthy of my legacy."

"It didn't test your power, but character among people. One strong person couldn't make a change against the cunning Saint Race, and I learned it the hard way years ago, so I'd like to see my inheritor have loyal and dependable people on his side."

"From the look of it, you have quite a loyal group on your side. They will be your backbone in this world."

"However, I have to say... Your spearplay intrigues me."

"It was not pure spearplay, wasn't it?"

"You combined an extra martial intent, which is sharper and more potent than spear intent."

"..." Baek Ain. This guy is speaking too much.

Fire Roc Saint shook his head at Baek Ain's deadpan expression. It seems he was still a bit too excited.

He snapped his finger and teleported everyone to another place. It was a hall surrounded by mossy red stone. On the far back, everyone could see a red throne made of crimson crystals.

Baek Ain's eyes widened slightly because the throne was 'literally' made of Fire God's Crystal, the highest quality of it.

'Damn.' Baek Ain thought.

[Damn. Indeed]

[There is a trace of divinity in that throne]

[Which means... Fire Roc Saint has reached godhood in one way or another]

[Unfortunately, he perished too early]

"Well, welcome to my resting place." Fire Roc Saint said while sitting on the throne. "Let me introduce myself again."

"My name is Zhang Hansen."

"You can call me Han Sen."

"People know me as the Fire Roc Saint, but people of the past also used to call me the Fire Emperor."

Baek Ain stared at Fire Roc Saint and replied, "Lin Feng."

Zhang Hansen smiled inwardly when Baek Ain introduced himself as Lin Feng. He might be able to fool others, but not himself.

It was clear Baek Ain didn't tell his real name.

Zhang Hansen shook his head bitterly, 'My inheritor is more cautious than I expected. But this is not bad because he came from the same lower plane as I am, and being lowkey increases the chance of his survival.'

"Well..."

"Let's make the talk more personal." After saying that, Zhang Hansen snapped his finger and made Chu Ming and others disappear.

"Where are they?" Baek Ain's face darkened.

Zhang Hansen calmly replied, "My treasure vault. Well, you can count it as yours later."

"I allowed them to take one treasure from the vault."

"Now that we are alone, we can talk about other things."

"How is the situation in the Dou Qi Continent?"

Baek Ain narrowed his eyes and answered, "Dou Qi Continent is fine."

"Though, the Hall of Soul is being an annoying cockroach."

"Hall of Soul?" Zhang Hansen frowned this time.

"What happened to the Tou She Ancient God? That fellow shouldn't ascend yet, no?"

Baek Ain was confused by his question, "It seems there is a generational gap between us."

"In my era, Dou Di has become a mythical realm that people couldn't reach due to the lack of resources and luck qi in the atmosphere."

"Things are better now, but I believed it would take a while for people to reach Dou Di realm."

"There are no Dou Gods anymore."

"They mysteriously disappeared, or should I say ascended to the upper realm? Different upper realm than the Heaven Genesis Realm called the Great Thousand World."

"Great Thousand World..." Zhang Hansen mumbled to himself.

He tapped his throne's armrest, "So, that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't find any of them in the Heaven Genesis World. We ascended to a different upper realm."

"Aih, damn it."

"It seems the thing we are afraid of is happening for real."

"Things you are afraid of? What do you mean by that?" Baek Ain questioned.

Zhang Hansen created a chair for Baek Ain and said, "It would be a long story, but I will try my best to shorten it."

"Sit."

Baek Ain glanced at the seat and sat down.

Zhang Hansen nodded and explained, "Years ago. When I left the Dou Qi Continent, everyone prospered and could become Dou Gods. We are blessed, mildly speaking."

"However, we realized the Dou Qi Continent is not our limit."

"The Tou She Ancient God was born at that moment. He's not a human but a living spirit of heavenly flame."

"After gathering a bunch of heavenly flames, Tou She became Dou God at the fastest speed and shattered the lower plane's boundary, which allowed us to ascend..."

"The problem is... The shattered point is too big, which led to the declining Dou Qi energy."

"Of course, this is not entirely horrible as Dou Qi would slowly evolve into stronger energy, allowing the future generation to cultivate faster and become stronger."

"But from your words. It seems our plan isn't going as we planned."

"The Dou Qi declined instead, huh?"

"Yes." Baek Ain replied honestly. "But I've never heard of this shattered point you said."

Zhang Hansen sighed, "Someone probably has sealed it, and that's the problem."

"Hey, kid. The Hall of Soul you mentioned earlier. Are they perhaps using Soul-Related Technique? If so, then the mastermind behind this faction must be the Nihility Devouring Flame."

"The Nihility Devouring Flame is the alter ego of the Tou She Ancient God, which is more radical in his approach to make Dou Qi Plane better."

"The Nihility Devouring Flame..." Baek Ain has read the Battle Through the Heaven story, so he did know that the Hun Tiandi from the Hun Clan has possession of the 2nd Ranked Heavenly Flame.

However, to have the clan controlled by the heavenly flame is new to him.

Then, again. It's not the Battle Through the Heaven World that Baek Ain knows. It is an alternative reality that the Goddess of Opportunity created for him.

Baek Ain immediately thought of his wives, 'They should be fine.'

'Our plan to trap the Hun Clan and Hall of Souls is guaranteed successful.'

'And the opponent shouldn't be a problem with Luo Bingbing. She's half-step Dou God when serious.'

Zhang Hansen noticed the slight change in Baek Ain's expression and commented, "What's the matter?"

Baek Ain breathed out, "Nothing."

"So, when do I get your legacy?"

"Anytime you want." Zhang Hansen replied casually.

"You have passed all the tests wonderfully."

"All you need to do is to sit on this throne."

Baek Ain stared at the throne made of the Fire God's Crystal and used the Ashen God's eyes to make sure something was.

He smiled and asked, "Really, nothing string attached?"

Zhang Hansen chuckled, "You smart brat. Of course, there is a string attached."

"You know my situation in the Heaven Genesis World isn't the best."

"The Saint Race is still dominating us, humans."

"Even though I've done my best, my power alone isn't enough."

"Upon taking my legacy, your final task is to reach glory for humankind."

"Are you up to this challenge?"

"No." Baek Ain answered as a matter of fact.

Zhang Hansen choked on his words, "Y-You really..."

"I'm just kidding." Baek Ain laughed while standing up and walking to the throne. "I've gone through all the trouble to get this legacy."

"I won't waste it."

"Get away, old man."

"The throne is mine now."

Zhang Hansen shook his head bitterly and let Baek Ain take his rightful position. Baek Ain sat on the throne and closed his eyes.

"The path you take won't be easy and smooth, but that's the path a king must walk."

"With this..."

"I, Fire Roc Saint, declared that the new King has awakened!"

At this very moment, crimson and golden light engulfed the Heavenly Fire Prison Realm.
