Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 61 First Hearing of the 'Pool of Flowing Fire'

"Candira..."

Perseus smiled slightly as he looked at the Fire Cloud Clan expert whose eyes were filled with struggle, but who could only watch himself sink into despair.

"Now, what are your thoughts?"

What are your thoughts?

One wrong move, and you lose.

Candira sighed, pressed his hand to his feet, and bowed to Perseus with a solemn tone.

"Owner!"

"We can talk about your matter later. Right now, I need to deal with another problem."

After saying that, Perseus rushed out.

A burst of intense firelight exploded across the sky, creating a patch of red light.

Less than ten seconds later, after a devastating collision, Hakata Sogo was also knocked down by a single blow. He fell into a coma under the corrosive effects of the poison released by the 100% flying circle, becoming a puppet and losing all autonomy.

He clearly succumbed to temptation much faster than Candira.

The latter, at least, had a decent will and had already touched the level of immortality. Although he could not resist the control from the soul, he could still retain a trace of clarity for a short period of time.

Because of the short time it took for Hakata Sogo to break through, his thinking was completely "suddenly distorted".

This manifested as extreme distortion and fanaticism; in his mind, his master Perseus held a position far exceeding that of his own life.

Unfortunately, Shidu Star was still destroyed.

Even if the clash between several realm lords lasted only a moment and neither side exerted their full strength, it was still a devastating catastrophe for the planet.

Looking at the scene of devastation and countless building ruins around him, Perseus glanced at it once and then looked back at Candira.

"Why are you targeting the Canggu Empire?"

"Because the Canggu Empire is relatively easy to deal with, and the Canggu Realm Lord even controls a small secret realm that is clearly of extremely high value."

As she spoke, Candira looked at Bodo Canggu.

"The Kunwu Clan's reliance is about to fall, and the newly appointed Realm Lord is weak."

"This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Even if we fail in the attempt to kill that Cang Gu Realm Lord, I am confident that I can suppress all resistance, including those Realm Lords who covet the Cang Gu Empire... Master should know that my Fire Cloud Clan has enough strength to deter those Realm Lords."

"But I am not from the Fire Cloud Clan."

Candira showed a hint of surprise, but the surprise quickly disappeared.

"Whether her master is a member of the Fire Cloud Clan or not, Candila will serve her master."

"Since that's the case, why don't we talk about something else? For example, how did you, a powerful member of the Fire Cloud Clan, encounter Bodo Canggu? Or what treasures does your clan possess?"

Just then, Digori flew over from a distance.

The reason he was able to hold his own against Bodo Canggu was twofold: first, his own life gene level and innate secret techniques; second, the high-quality armor and Force weapons he wore; and third, the plant life that Perseus lent him, whose strength had reached the peak of the Domain Lord level.

"Master, what's next?"

"The succession ceremony will continue. We'll move to another inhabited planet to host the banquet for our guests. You'll have full authority to handle everything from now on."

After saying that, Perseus took out his spaceship and, with his newly acquired slaves, left the planet Shidu one after the other, entering the vast starry sky.

……

The conversation then returned to how the two met.

According to Hakata Sogo, his encounter with Candira was entirely accidental.

At that time, the latter was comprehending the laws of fire on a planet.

"Sometimes the special environment in the universe is more suitable for comprehending the laws than the world of laws created by the world lord. I didn't expect that a randomly chosen area would lead to the fleet of the Canggu Empire. The key is that a fifth-order fire meteor crystal was born there just as they were passing by."

"And then Hakata will try to steal your treasure?"

"yes--"

Candira nodded, then looked at Bodo Canggu.

"At that time, he was just an ordinary domain lord. If I hadn't been in a good mood, and if it weren't for the fact that a dying domain lord like Cang Gu was not easy to deal with, I probably would have killed him long ago."

Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memory, a bitter expression involuntarily appeared on Hakata Soko's face.

"To save my life, I had to hand over all the treasures I had on me. Even so, I was only allowed to leave because Candila was in a good mood after obtaining the treasures."

"Then why is he here in the Canggu Empire again, trying to freeload?"

Candira paused for a moment.

"Because my Fire Cloud Clan's 'Fire God Festival,' which takes place once every million years, is about to begin."

"Since it concerns the comprehension of the laws, the number of participants is limited for each festival, and competing for the qualification to comprehend them also requires a large sum of money..."

The main problem is still not enough money.

If a realm lord wants to become stronger, he needs to continuously invest funds in various cultivation resources and auxiliary secret techniques for comprehending the laws.

As one of the relatively young world lords of the Fire Cloud Clan, the amount of money that Kandila needed to reach her current level was naturally not small.

Despite having everything he needs, this genius currently doesn't even have 10 Chaos Yuan Elemental Points to exchange for various treasures and become a 'qualified Realm Lord'.

"Is the 'Fire God Ritual' really that effective in helping one comprehend the laws?"

"certainly."

Perseus was intrigued and quickly inquired about the details.

Candira, who had already been corrupted by the Soul-Binding Wood, naturally spoke frankly and without reservation.

It turns out that the Fire Cloud Clan also possesses its own Law Treasures.

In the Fire Cloud Empire, there is a Fire Cloud Continent that has been designated as a forbidden area by the Fire Cloud Holy Lord.

On this Fiery Cloud Continent, there is a strange "Pool of Flowing Fire," filled with all sorts of terrifying flames, the intense heat of which can even injure a realm lord.

At the same time, this pool of flowing fire is also the ancestral land of the Fire Cloud Clan. All members of the Fire Cloud Clan, even if their bloodline is not completely 10% of the original, are qualified to enter the innermost fire domain.

There is such a stone tablet in the Fire Domain, which can help one comprehend the fundamental laws of fire.

"So, that stone tablet contains the complete laws of fire?"

"How could it possibly be the complete law of fire?"

Candira shook her head, denying Perseus's guess.

"If it really is such a treasure, then let alone a military lord, even a marquis would most likely have a hard time protecting the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet."

"According to the Holy Lord, even if one comprehends all the fire laws on the Heavenly Flame Spirit Stele, at most one will only gain the recognition of the fire laws. What we are truly interested in are the 'Thirty-Six Star Points' inscribed on the Heavenly Flame Spirit Stele."

"By passing through the nine layers of flames on the outer edge of the Fire Domain, you can enter the core of the Fire Domain. Similarly, as long as you kill the fire spirits in the flames, you can obtain a Fire Cleansing Crystal Core. Once the core is fully opened, the more Fire Cleansing Crystal Cores you have, the longer the imprinted star points can last."

Thirty-six stars?

Considering that there are generally 36 kinds of laws in the lower-level laws, Perseus immediately realized what these thirty-six star points were.

The Chaos Tablet can be taken out!

Although it's just a basic lower-level law, and it can't be maintained for long, plus you have to compete with other powerful members of your own race... at least it's an excellent way to help comprehend the laws of fire.

But did any Fire Cloud Clan members really grasp the essence of all laws by relying on the thirty-six star points they had imprinted?
