Rhein snapped his fingers, and a wisp of light instantly enveloped them.

"Mr. Rod, before answering this question, I’d like to know, to what extent do you understand the King’s Path?"

The King’s Path?

Rod was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized that Royeger had also mentioned this term. It exists in contrast to the God’s Path and is the new path found by humans after the collapse of the divine road.

All paths ultimately aimed at becoming the True King can be classified under the King’s Path.

Rod hesitated for a moment but still expressed Trolian’s current mainstream view, without directly mentioning knowledge related to Royeger. He added at the end: "However, we also know our current system is incomplete, and some knowledge has been altered and distorted by malevolent thoughts. We hope you can help us rectify this."

Rhein sighed softly: "It’s really unbelievable that you’ve come this far relying on such knowledge and heritage. Your entire system is filled with errors and distortions, missing the most crucial parts, but I cannot express this knowledge here, as they belong to the taboo of the Black Fog. Just triggering them would cause intense Source feedback. I’ll have more in-depth communication with you once I return to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground."

He paused for a moment and continued.

"I have an intuition that you possess great potential, with enormous room for improvement. If I can help you get on the right path, it may lead to a huge leap in human overall strength, just like when Yanuo found us."

Rod exclaimed, "Yanuo found you?"

Rhein nodded slightly: "Indeed, about 1500 years ago, in the 326th year after the commencement of the Dark Epoch, under the guidance of a mysterious sage, Yanuo found us, brought us the complete Fire System, and helped us return to the correct path. Since then, our combat strength advanced by leaps and bounds. It was precisely because of this that we were able to survive countless subsequent disasters and come this far today."

Rod’s heart trembled. No doubt, this mysterious sage was Royeger, and this timing was very sensitive. If not mistaken, it should be around the time of the Starry Kingdom’s demise.

Is there any connection between these?

Could it be that due to the arrival of the great catastrophe, Royeger, still accumulating power, was forced to awaken early, choosing Saint Longde but consequently abandoning the Starry Kingdom?

He recalled Royeger saying that the Starry Kingdom once held the strongest potential, while Saint Reel possessed the Supreme Spirit.

At that time, Saint Reel and Trolian might not have been affected, or the impact was minimal, but why not save the Starry Kingdom with the greatest potential?

Was it due to location issues?

According to Yanuo’s Spiritual Power Matrix reasoning, it’s located in the Ash Land, roughly 90,000 kilometers from Trolian, closer than Saint Longde, yet the distance between these two nations was very far, likely exceeding 180,000 kilometers, one to the east, one to the west.

Previously, when using the World’s Clock, Rod hesitated to choose between Saint Longde and Yanuo. Although Saint Longde was a bit further, its Spiritual Power Matrix was relatively simple, whereas Yanuo’s Spiritual Power Matrix seemed very obscure and difficult to use, so he opted for Saint Longde first, intending to contact Yanuo later. Unexpectedly, the World’s Clock broke down.

However, the connection between these two human nations ought to be very frequent, Saint Longde was aware, Yanuo wouldn’t be uninformed. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Yanuo must be very strong, right?" Rod asked with hopeful anticipation.

Rhein gave a faint smile: "Extremely powerful. Its strength perhaps has already surpassed the peak ten kingdoms of the Fire Epoch; since the beginning, Yanuo preserved the most complete heritage and knowledge. Their Holy Fire comes from the Blessed Holy City, the divine heart of Ameliakas Loren City, which once ignited the Primordial Fire, also known as the mightiest Fire King City. The great human hero Yanuo brought the complete Holy Fire Seed out without any weakening. After ignition, it’s the Seventh Rank Strong Holy Fire!"

Rod’s eyes widened: "Strong Holy Fire?"

Rhein nodded slightly: "A Strong Holy Fire possessing seven Holy Fire Seeds, legend says that gathering ten Holy Fire Seeds can reignite the Primordial Fire."

Rod’s heart suddenly skipped: "We happen to have three Holy Fire Seeds in our Holy Fire. If we gather them, wouldn’t we be able to ignite the Primordial Fire?"

Rhein smiled and shook his head: "It’s not that simple, Mr. Rod. Saint Longde Royal City is also Sixth Rank Strong Holy Fire. If it were possible to merge, we would’ve done so already... The relationship between Holy Fire and Primordial Fire is very complex and is the great taboo of the Black Fog. I cannot elaborate here."

Rod felt his heart pounding fiercely. Apparently, another piece of misinformation was corrected. They had assumed that Holy Fire was formed after the Primordial Fire split, merely needing to gather all Holy Fire Seeds to reignite the Primordial Fire. Because of this, they even believed the humans of the Fire Epoch were ignorant of this knowledge; otherwise, ten Fire King Cities would have already assembled the Holy Fire.

But clearly, this assumption was ridiculous, humans of the Fire Epoch likewise rose from ruins, enduring countless catastrophes. They could not be unaware of the existence of Holy Fire.

In fact, when Royeger told him that humans in the Fire Epoch had once ignited the Primordial Fire, he should have realized this.
