I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 619 Purity Enhancement, The Gluttonous Stomach

Before his death, the Fierce Flame Warrior Venerable did a lot of things.

However, his suicide note contained very little content. It only briefly recounted his life story and the life lessons he learned before his death, and offered some advice to those who came after him as someone who had been through it all.

Don't be too reckless.

Just because someone time-travels and has a cheat-like ability doesn't automatically make them the protagonist.

Or.

Perhaps you are the protagonist.

But your story isn't that long.

After your protagonist halo fades, you will still grow old, die, and become history, eventually becoming someone else's topic of conversation many years later.

Your grave will also become a "copy" for another "protagonist" to improve themselves.

Like most time travelers.

After discovering that he had transmigrated, the Blazing Flame Warrior felt a little apprehensive, but at the same time, he was also very excited.

He felt like the protagonist in those online novels, destined to accomplish great things on this continent and lead humanity to glory.

So he began to imitate the actions of the protagonists in those online novels.

Using his superpower to quickly become stronger, he tries to lead his people with his knowledge far beyond the current era, attempting to develop some abilities based on the knowledge he gleaned from novels.

Admittedly, he has indeed achieved some success.

For example, language and writing, basic mathematics, the concept of units, and some primal sense of honor.

Even terms like ferocious beast, beast god, beast emperor, great beast king, and beast king were left behind by the original Blazing Flame War Lord and have gained the common recognition of both humans and ferocious beasts.

But in most cases, his efforts ultimately yielded no results.

The Fierce Flame War Lord wanted to preserve the complete writing system, but he found himself unable to write characters.

Having spent so much time typing in the information age and been out of school for so long, he had long forgotten how to write many words and could only rely on vague memories to make them up.

This is why the seemingly similar names in the Lieyan tribe exist today.

The Fierce Flame Warrior desires to become a figure like the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, leading his tribe from hunters to an agricultural civilization, thereby strengthening the tribe's power.

While slash-and-burn agriculture sounds simple, he actually had no idea what staple foods like rice, flour, and millet looked like when they were still plants. As for farming, he only knew how to scatter seeds in the ground and then water them.

After all that effort, the final result was not as practical as going out hunting.

The Blazing Flame War Lord wanted to teach his people how to smelt metals and usher in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.

However, how could a young city dweller who was lazy and ignorant of farming before transmigrating possibly find a primary mineral vein and distinguish what constitutes a metal ore, even if he managed to learn some basic smelting knowledge by watching popular science videos?
This is not something you can learn simply by watching a few videos on Douyin (TikTok). Geological exploration and metallurgy are very profound disciplines that require a lot of knowledge to accumulate through practice.

It is true that the Lieyan tribe now possesses some metal armor.

However, this was something that the people of the Lieyan tribe had painstakingly figured out over the past thousands of years, relying on the fragments left behind by the Lieyan War God.

Before his death, this place was still very primitive.

In his last words, the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable confessed that the only thing he could be proud of in his life was that he did have some talent in cultivation.

Even if he does have a cheat code, that fact cannot be denied.

Unfortunately, he was too confident and arrogant back then.

From rising to power within the tribe to expanding the tribe, and then sweeping away the surrounding ferocious beast tribes, everything went too smoothly.

It went so smoothly that there were almost no setbacks.

His life after transmigrating was so smooth that the first half of his life was as enviable as a typical Japanese fantasy novel.

At that time, the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable believed that as a transmigrator with a cheat code, he was naturally the chosen one, the son of the plane, the protagonist of the era, and an existence destined to write a legend.

Therefore, he acted without restraint or scruples.

With his superpower, he became all-encompassing and all-consuming.

Whether it's rare and precious natural treasures or the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, they are all resources he uses to become stronger and advance in rank.

Before his fall, he was only half a step away from the legendary realm of the Beast God.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible in the same realm.

He had done it countless times, even when it meant crossing a major realm and making a reverse cut upwards.

At the same time, facing the siege of countless beast kings and beast emperors, which seemed to be on a massive scale, the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable did not take it seriously at all.

At that time, he was extremely arrogant.

He believed that even if the legendary "Beast God" descended, he would be able to slay him.

The only difference between me and the Beast God is a bit of luck.

Given a few more years to strengthen the human race and gather its fortune, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a War God.

However, just as he was feeling triumphant and preparing to crush and devour all the ferocious beasts besieging him in one fell swoop, a beast god descended.

That absolute power shattered all of Lieyan Zhanzun's illusions with just a few punches and kicks.

He could slay a Great Beast King at the Battle King realm, which was comparable to the first level of the God Ascension stage; he could easily kill a Beast King at the Battle Emperor realm, which was comparable to the second level of the God Ascension stage; and he was virtually invincible at the Battle Venerable realm, which was comparable to the third level of the God Ascension stage.

However, he was defeated in a very short time after facing the Beast God, and could not even last twenty moves.

Realizing that he was facing an inescapable and invincible situation, the Fiery War Lord, who had enjoyed decades of smooth sailing, finally had a sudden awakening.

He was not the protagonist of his era.

He is not a chosen one of destiny.

He was just a guy who had died suddenly after staying up all night and was lucky enough to survive, no different from the rest of the world.

If only I had thought of this sooner!

If only I could be more cautious.

If it were myself
At that moment, he thought about many things and regretted many things.

Unfortunately, not everyone can master such a heaven-defying method as time reversal, and all established facts can no longer be changed.

On his deathbed, the enlightened Blazing Flame War Lord decided to leave something for future generations.

So, using his own body and his cheat ability as the core, he created this sealed space, taking with him the hundreds of powerful ferocious beasts that were besieging him, and they were all buried in it together.

He left behind the Crimson Flame Statue and his own battle spear as keys, sending them to his younger brother, the First Crimson Flame, hoping that one day a true chosen one would open his tomb.

Like the protagonists in online novels, they greatly increase their strength and become their own successors.

As for why the Crimson Flame Statue appears in the rewards of the dungeon system, that's hard to say.

Lu Wenwu speculated that it was possible that the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable forcibly tore through space, causing the laws to become too chaotic. The Crimson Flame Statue fell into the spatial turbulence during the teleportation process and drifted all the way to the world protected by the Divine Alliance.

Eventually, someone picked it up and handed it over to the system in exchange for a reward.

The system later determined that this item was similar to Lu Wenwu's sexual orientation, so it was distributed as a reward.

This is probably the origin of the Crimson Flame Statue. It was all a matter of chance.

The only thing that made the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable feel a little regretful was that he was unable to leave that Beast God behind.

The opponent is too perceptive and too strong.

He sensed the danger the moment he launched his attack and decisively chose to flee, disappearing without a trace.

As for why that beast god didn't conveniently wipe out the Lieyan tribe?
Perhaps it was because they were worried that Chi Yan also possessed the means to perish together with his enemies, or perhaps it was because the Lie Yan tribe, having lost the Lie Yan War Lord, was simply too weak to pose any threat.

In short, the beast god disappeared after the death of the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable.

All that remained were the legends passed down by word of mouth among the ferocious beasts near the Valley of Fallen Warriors; even the Blazing Flame Tribe itself had forgotten about it.

This is the life of the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable.

The very first sentence of his own last words summarized his entire past.

Lu Wenwu declined to comment on the opinions of the local natives and the Fierce Flame Warrior.

He only cared about what the other party had left behind.

They deliberately set up a room and a suicide note; it couldn't just be for the sake of creating a spectacle, could it?
After reading the suicide note, Lu Wenwu casually opened the drawer under the table.

This is one of the few physical objects in the entire room.

On the left is a slightly shriveled, irregularly shaped, white-pink hemisphere with many neatly arranged grooves, resembling a maze.

Most of the sphere still retains fresh biological tissue, while a small portion has dried out, appearing as a withered white color.

Lu Wenwu, who was extremely familiar with human anatomy, recognized it immediately.

This is the human brain.

He sensed a part of the echo of the soul above.

It's highly likely that some of the memories of the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable are preserved inside.

By reading it, one can view the other person's past life from a first-person perspective—at least a part of it.

Lu Wenwu did not intend to look at this.

He put it away, planning to find a way to send it back to Earth for burial after he got out.

Even if it's a parallel world's Earth, it's still like coming home.

To the right of where the Blazing Flame Warrior's brain was placed was a small black bag, entirely made of flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood pouch wasn't large, about the size of a palm, and it was covered with scarlet magic runes.

Faint, bluish-purple veins writhed on the fleshy sac, constantly emanating a chilling power.

It's like a miniature black hole, constantly plundering and devouring the free energy in the air.

Even though thousands of years have passed, and even though it is in this sealed space, it is still as fresh as if it had just been unearthed, full of surging vitality.

"This is the cheat system that the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable obtained after transmigrating!"

Lu Wenwu held the organ, which looked like it had just been dissected from the stomach of some creature, in his hand, feeling the warmth emanating from it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Rather than saying this is a cheat code that the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable obtained after transmigrating, it is more accurate to say that this is a cheat code that the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable obtained after transmigrating.

Rather, this is the real reason why the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable was able to travel through time after his death.

The Blazing Flame Warrior had no idea what this was.

In his last words, he explained that after he traveled to the desolate ancient continent and bathed in the blood of beasts, he discovered that this substance had replaced his stomach and was the key to his growth by devouring the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts and rare treasures.

Lu Wenwu knew him.

This is the stomach.

It's not your average stomach.

Instead, it belongs to a legendary ferocious beast.

A true mythical beast!
One of the Four Fiends – Taotie!
The fundamental reason why the Blazing Flame Battle Venerable can become stronger!
Besides his own talent for cultivation, it was also because he possessed a voracious stomach that could infinitely generate resources!

When Lu Wenwu removed the Taotie stomach, the small room that held the memories of the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable began to shatter like a mirror.

Darkness gradually crept in from the outside, and only the light source, which no longer resembled a lamp, remained, suspended in mid-air.

The true nature of the heritage space is revealed.

It's very rudimentary.

It looked like nothing more than a small cave made up of countless ferocious beast corpses, and the overwhelming stench of blood assaulted Lu Wenwu's nostrils.

Countless mangled corpses were piled up there like small mountains, as fresh as pigs that had just been slaughtered.

Lu Wenwu did not rush to use the Great Immortal Technique of Devouring Gods.

Instead, he strode over to a broken, desiccated corpse sitting cross-legged, sat down opposite it, and carefully put away the few broken divine treasures and several scrolls of animal hides with writing on them.

Even on the mummified corpse's blurred face, one could vaguely discern a hint of the youthful vigor of the Fierce Flame War Lord.

But those withered, cloudy eyes, which refused to close even in death, held a deep sense of regret and remorse.

He resented his arrogance and conceit, regretted that he had failed to fulfill his promise to his people, and was even more disappointed in breaking his promise to his younger brother, the First Generation Crimson Flame, for not being able to let him see the world he had described.

Lu Wenwu took out a piece of spirit wood and quickly carved it into a coffin, then gently placed the corpse of the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable and his head inside.

The coffin lid was closed, and three sticks of incense were lit.

A clump of paper money and yellow paper that appeared out of nowhere spontaneously combusted without fire, along with two steaming hot egg pancakes, turning into ashes in the flames.

"Although we have never met, I do not know where your soul has gone, nor do I know your real name."

"But Lord Lieyan, as the creator of the cultivation system in this world, I, Lu Wenwu, still wish you a safe journey!"

"On the road to the underworld, have a hot meal."

As the incense burned out, Lu Wenwu finished reciting the Rebirth Sutra.

Lu Wenwu stood up, put away the coffin containing the body of the Fierce Flame Battle Venerable, and sighed softly.

"Brother Lieyan."

"I will remember your lesson."

"I will inherit the legacy you left behind."

"I will help you complete the work you left unfinished."

"Then, brother, I'll take you home, back to your real home!"

As the sound faded, a breeze suddenly arose throughout the entire space dedicated to the heritage.

The pitch-black stomach of the gluttonous beast seemed to lose its physical form, transforming into demonic runes that merged into Lu Wenwu's skin.

The flesh and blood of countless top-tier ferocious beasts were refined by the increasingly powerful Devouring God Immortal Technique, all turning into resources. After being completely devoured, they became Lu Wenwu's aid on his path to ultimate power.

At this moment, the purity has increased once again!
