Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 40 A Pure Black Shop
The little flame muttered to itself in confusion, "Fuxi...is he really dead? 730,000 years, how could I have slept for so long?"

"Logically, I should have woken up after only sleeping for a few dozen days..."

He never expected that this sleep would last for 730,000 years. When he woke up, he encountered an extremely weak human boy with very little of the Fuxi divine blood in his body.

As time goes by, the once glorious Fuxi clan has declined to the point of being reduced to livestock, slaves, and grain.

Xin Huo didn't want to believe any of this, but his memories before falling into slumber were of returning to the ancestral planet with his last successor.

On his ancestral planet, he only encountered the descendants of Fuxi, who were known as the human race.

Xu Qing said, "You have been asleep for too long, for 730,000 years, and your lineage has been broken for 730,000 years."

"That's right, 730,000 years, 23 dynasties of Heavenly Emperors? I don't even know the secret techniques of the 14 dynasties of Earthly Sovereigns and Heavenly Emperors after Fuxi?"

The flame murmured to itself, "He is the lamp of the universe's soul created by the Fire Emperor, the flame of inheritance."

However, he didn't even know what kind of Taoist magic and supernatural powers the later Heavenly Emperor Fuxi possessed, and was completely ignorant of this period of history.

Seeing that the conversation had progressed sufficiently, Xu Qing said:

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Flame of Inheritance, you can now purchase items for your successor."

Xin Huo couldn't help but say, "Yue is not my successor. My successor must be a pure-blooded Fuxi. His current Fuxi bloodline is so thin that it is almost undetectable."

Zhong Yue was somewhat disappointed when he heard Xiao Huomiao say that.

"Hmph, how pedantic," Xu Qing sneered. "Then let me kill him and make Fuxi's lineage, which had already been severed for 730,000 years, die out again."

Zhong Yue: "?"

The young man from the Zhongshan clan was in a real bind. How did this turn into talking about killing him again?

The flame remained silent.

Xu Qing looked at the silent little flame and said, "The so-called passing on of the flame, as the inherited flame created by Suihuang, you have been asleep for 730,000 years, while the Fuxi God Clan has lost its inheritance for 730,000 years."

"Where were you when the Fuxi clan needed you? Now you want to find a pure-blooded Fuxi, how ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, Xin Huo felt extremely distressed, yet he thought to himself:
"If what this Divine Emperor says is true, and the Fuxi Divine Clan is extinct, then if I don't make a choice, the legacy passed down since the time of Emperor Sui of the Fire Era will truly become a thing of the past..."

"That silly boy, Fuxi, was made the successor because I couldn't find a pure-blooded Suihuang. But even he has seventy percent of Suihuang's blood..."

He sighed and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there really isn't even half a Fuxi left in this world?"

Xu Qing sneered, "Yes, of course."

"However, those are either weapons left behind by the Fuxi clan, or remnants from the Emperor Star, wearing the skin of Fuxi but with the soul of an alien race, traitors who destroyed the Fuxi clan."

"You haven't even found half of Fuxi on your ancestral planet, yet you expect to find the real Fuxi elsewhere?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Huo asked, "A pure-blooded Fuxi, but with a soul from another race, what does that mean?"

Xu Qing chuckled: "Oh, I forgot, you're an ancient relic that's 730,000 years out of date."

"Our ancestral star has long been abandoned. You probably don't know that the sixth cycle of reincarnation, the Bloodline Wheel, has already been established, right?"

"Six Paths of Reincarnation?! Bloodline Wheel?!" Xin Huo was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

Zhong Yue only half understood what these words meant, and he did not realize how much of an impact they had on the torch.

Xu Qing said, "The one who created the Bloodline Wheel was the last emperor, Fuxi, the Daoist Fumin. He had already transcended the totem system created by Suihuang. As the inheritor of the flame, you don't even know about the Bloodline Wheel created by Emperor Fuxi. How pathetic is that?"

"All you possess now are these inheritances of the Five Paths of Reincarnation, which are all outdated and have long been destroyed by the enemy. Otherwise, the Fuxi God Clan would not have been wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Xin Huo, already dizzy from the news of Fu Xi's demise, had his mind completely blank.

He couldn't believe it:
"The last generation of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has actually surpassed the totem system created by Da Sui and established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, while the supernatural powers and techniques I inherited are all outdated? Completely destroyed?"

Then wouldn't his flame of inheritance, which has passed down the Fuxi technique since the beginning of the Fire Era, be meaningless?
This was too much of a shock for him.

Xu Qing continued speaking:
"The Venerable Fumin created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing the souls of all things in the world to be reincarnated."

"Those alien races and traitors I mentioned are souls that did not originally belong to the Fuxi God Clan, but were reincarnated."

Xu Qing smiled as she looked at the tiny flame, no bigger than a fingertip, and said:

"The great flame of inheritance, so are you willing to abandon this boy beside you and go find those beasts who wore the skin of Fuxi and personally destroyed Fuxi?"

After hearing this, Xin Huo shook his head and said, "Then let Yue boy be my half-successor for now." Although he was unwilling, Xin Huo thought that even if he went to the Imperial Star, he would still need Yue boy, so he had to let Yue boy improve first.

As for why he's only a half-inheritor... it's because... for this fifteen-year-old boy, the burden of reviving the Fuxi God Clan is too heavy...

This child has no obligation to take on this responsibility...

Although he was only a semi-inheritor, Zhong Yue understood from these words that the Lord of the Heavens had acknowledged him, and he was deeply shaken.

And Xin Huo began to look at the items on the display shelves:

"Hmm, let me see what you call your goods."

"Tsk, all these are just gadgets to enhance the body, at most comparable to the Opening Wheel Realm. Oh, but this so-called laser gun can kill an ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivator."

Zhong Yue was also looking at these items. Although he was not yet a Qi Refiner, he was sweating profusely when he heard Xiao Huomiao's evaluation of these items that could kill Qi Refiners.

Actually, this isn't low at all...

Xu Qing was also in a bind. He hadn't been talking nonsense when he said all that; he simply didn't have anything good to offer and wanted to dampen the little flame.

After looking at all the items, Xin Huo couldn't find anything she liked, and couldn't help but look at Xu Qing:
"Hey, as a god-emperor, don't you have any good stuff here?"

"Yes, but you can't afford to replace it."

Xu Qing shook his head and sighed. The six immortal divine bodies reappeared on the display shelf, and their aura instantly made Zhong Yue break out in a cold sweat.

This is the only thing he can use to save face.

Xin Huo's eyes lit up as he said, "This is indeed a good thing. Its essence is so rich that it is comparable to several or even dozens of suns. It is at least at the level of a Divine Marquis."

He then turned to look at Xu Qing:

"However, I almost forgot, Yue and I don't have any money. How are we going to trade these things?"

Xu Qing pointed his finger, and the rules entered their minds.

After learning the rules of the Zhutian Pavilion, Zhong Yue realized that Xu Qing was joking when he said he would kill him.

That's true... It's not a shady business, how could someone kill someone at a place where they're trading... Heh...

Xu Qing looked at Xin Huo, who already knew the rules, and said, "Let's exchange it for a secret realm belonging to a cultivator at the Dan Yuan realm or above."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see that Yue isn't even a Qi Refiner?" Xin Huo's eyes widened immediately.

"Then use the Fire Emperor Visualization Diagram and the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Power that you possess."

Upon hearing this, Xin Huo's eyes widened even more:

"Exchange these six Divine Marquis corpses? Even if I were the Flame of Inheritance, only able to pass these divine abilities to the inheritor, what do you think the Heavenly Emperor's divine abilities are...?"

But Xu Qing interrupted him.

"It's not about exchanging these six corpses. Your so-called Heavenly Emperor God is outdated and can't be replaced."

(Actually, the cultivation technique has no trading value whatsoever; as a seventh-tier immortal divine body, it cannot be traded at all.)
"Huh?! You mean we can only exchange these junks? Those are the Heavenly Emperor's divine powers and techniques."

The flames couldn't help but let out a sharp shriek, which made Zhong Yue's ears hurt. The little flame was really shocked. Did this guy think that the Heavenly Emperor level cultivation technique was as common as cabbage?

"Your cultivation technique has been broken." Xu Qing repeated the same words.
"You...you...you're just a God Emperor." The little flame was so angry it couldn't speak: "The Heavenly Emperor's divine power being broken doesn't count as broken, but can the Heavenly Emperor's level be broken...?"

“It’s outdated.”

"you……"

"It's been broken."

"........."

Zhong Yue watched as the flames of anger trembled at the price offered by Xu Qing, but he couldn't help but overturn his own feelings.

"Uh, this Zhutian Pavilion... seems to really be a rip-off..."
