Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Do you have any other questions?"

Seeing He Li step forward, Feng Lizhui frowned.

These strange guys in front of me have too many problems.

Feng Lizhui was actually a bit annoyed, after all, he had been living here for many years and had long been used to being alone, and he hardly interacted with the natives in the surrounding settlements.

He seemed to enjoy being alone.

This is why Lie said that few people in the surrounding settlements had ever seen Feng Lizhui.

Now we're encountering outsiders like He Li...

As they repeatedly asked him all sorts of questions, Feng Lizhui felt that he had talked and said more with these guys today than he had in the past few years combined.

This made him very uncomfortable.

However, Feng Lizhui is ultimately not a bad person.

Although he was not feeling well, he wouldn't turn on He Li and the others just because they talked a little too much.

Most importantly, he had some hope that He Li and his group could handle the collective evil, so despite being a little annoyed, he still intended to respond to He Li and his group.

As for Feng Lizhui's feelings...

He Li actually had some of these suspicions.

However, seeing that Feng Lizhui did not directly show displeasure but instead seemed inclined to respond...

Of course, he had to be shameless and ask more questions.

After all, once he leaves this place, who knows if the powerful natives he encounters with influential backgrounds will be as easy to talk to and responsive to his questions as Feng Lizhui.

So of course he has to ask more questions now.

So that you don't end up not meeting any good people in the future, and having a head full of questions that no one can answer.

Taking these things into consideration...

Upon hearing Feng Lizhui's question, He Li smiled and said, "Is it really true that only you direct descendants who bear the bloodline of the Fire Ancestor can use the Fire Ancestor's flame power?"

"Is there any way for people like us to also master the fire power of the Fire Ancestor?"

"A solution?" Feng Li shook his head.

"No, at least I don't know how to do it."

"But since the power belongs to the Fire Ancestor..."

"If you can gain the Fire Ancestor's approval, he might personally bestow a blessing upon you, and then you might have a chance to barely use this power."

Feng Lizhui spoke very directly.

In fact, according to him, the power and supernatural abilities used by descendants of the Fire Ancestor like himself are similar.

The difference is that ordinary supernatural powers are something that everyone can awaken and then naturally master and use.

But the power wielded by the descendants of the Fire Ancestor...

It belongs to inheritance, to bloodline supernatural powers.

This is a power that the descendants of the Fire Ancestor must possess, and they must be able to master and maximize its effects. Such power is naturally beyond the reach of outsiders.

However, the source of power is the Fire Ancestor.

If the Fire Ancestor were willing, there might still be some possibility that outsiders could gain control of it.

Even if Feng Lizhui...

I don't have much hope for this method either.

After all, simply gaining the Fire Ancestor's approval is already as difficult as ascending to heaven, not to mention that even if one gains approval, there is no guarantee that one can perfectly master this power.

So, after explaining this method...

Feng Lizhui continued, "You want to master this power of fire to deal with the aggregate of evil thoughts?"

"If that's your thought..."

"Then there's no need to be fixated on my power."

"Oh?" He Li's eyes gleamed, clearly indicating that Feng Lizhui meant that he could also master other powers that could directly deal with the collective evil thoughts and no longer be afraid of the dark.

Sure enough, Feng Lizhui spoke up: "Actually, in essence, your Sunfire is not bad."

"Three kinds of flames: Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

"Each one possesses formidable power."

"Heavenly fire refers to the power of flames such as the sun's fire and natural fire. Earthly fire refers to the fire of the underworld, and is also a general term for those special flames hidden underground."

"Human fire is the flame we created."

"The Flame of the Fire Ancestor is human fire. Its power stems from the core of this power... which is all living beings. When everyone in the world masters the human fire discovered by the Fire Ancestor..."

"With the fire of humanity, the power of all people was gained."

"The emotions that all living beings have for human-fire include the hope of bringing life and the expectation of driving away monsters and darkness, which makes human-fire extremely powerful and positive."

Feng Lizhui paused at this point.

After pondering for a couple of seconds, he continued, "Your solar fire should be like that too."

"But you are not the origin of the sun's fire."

"Those are the golden crows!"

"Therefore, normal solar fire will play a limited role in this world under the influence of the Golden Crow."

"You cannot change that, but you can sever the connection between the sun's fire and the golden crow in your hands, transforming it into a flame uniquely your own, embodying your own ideals!"

Sever? Transform?

He Li lowered his head and began to ponder.

After a long pause, he finally looked up: "How do I do it?"

"Change can happen in the blink of an eye!"

Feng Li responded and shook his head: "You need to figure it out yourself for more specific details."

"I'm saying this just to tell you that while the Fire Ancestor's fire is indeed powerful, its essence is similar to other fires, so you have absolutely no need to pursue the Fire Ancestor's flame power."

"Besides, you don't have my bloodline."

Even if one masters it, its application is limited.

"Instead of racking my brains to master the Fire Ancestor's Flame, which I can't fully unleash..."

"Why not discover your own flame!"

He Li nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and he roughly understood what Feng Lizhui had just said; in the end, the essence of the three types of flames—Heaven, Earth, and Man—was actually quite similar.

The difference lies in the fact that the creatures who wield fire transform it for different purposes.

The Fire Ancestor was the first to master human-made fire...

The emergence of fire helped people at that time drive away darkness and wild beasts and brought warmth to them. This flame was the hope for life for people at that time, and it can also be called the fire of hope.

The sun's fire of the Golden Crow is a fire of slaughter.

Those golden crows, high above, merely used the flames as tools for slaughter and combat...

This flame only inspires disgust and fear.

He Li pondered these flames in his mind.

After carefully analyzing the differences between these flames, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he vaguely seemed to have grasped some crucial point.

Just as He Li was somewhat distracted, seemingly immersed in his own world pondering the matter of flames...

hum! ! !

A faint golden-red light emanated from He Li's body, accompanied by a slight burning heat.

Feng Lizhui's eyelids twitched upon seeing this.

Jiang Hongxian, who was next to He Li, also suddenly turned his head.

Yu Qingge and Yu Ji were puzzled, only looking suspiciously at He Li, who was radiant like the sun but not so warm, instead exuding an oppressive aura that made people afraid to approach him...

They wanted to ask something.

But they had barely opened their mouths when Feng Lizhui waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.

Meanwhile, He Li was immersed in his own world, constantly pondering the changes brought about by the Sunfire, which made him feel as if he had transformed into the Sun.

However, looking around...

The world doesn't seem to need him.

While human fire warms all living beings, drives away wild beasts, and brings hope, there is also the venomous fire of the Golden Crow Sun, which brings extreme heat that makes all living beings fearful and terrified.

His "sun" seems utterly meaningless.

But looking down upon the beings of this mortal world...

They depend on human fire and fear the sun's fire, yet no one dares to face the fear in the darkness, no one dares to step into the scorching land to try to save the wildfire that stretches for miles...

All that's left for ordinary people is to drift along with the tide.

In that state of going with the flow, evil thoughts silently breed without anyone stopping them, and the good lose support, courage, and the ability to see the road ahead in the darkness...

He Li gazed quietly, as if observing the changes in this world over countless years, transcending time.

Gradually, he began to understand.

But outside of his mind...

hum! ! !

In the eyes of Jiang Hongxian and the others, the golden-red flames on He Li's body began to burn fiercely, and a powerful force filled with pressure and sacred energy spread, making people feel fear.

The darkness seemed to recede somewhat, and the whispers of those malevolent beings in the distance gradually faded...

"This is..." Jiang Hongxian looked at Feng Lizhui.

The latter looked both serious and surprised.

At the same time, there was also a sense of relief.

"A unique fire!" Feng Lizhui murmured to himself, "A flame that is both majestic and oppressive, yet also passionate and selfless, making one seem no longer afraid of anything external..."

"Heartfire...fire of order?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Feng Lizhui's voice, Jiang Hongxian looked at He Li, who was surrounded by flames, with surprise.

This guy really severed the relationship between the Sunfire and the Golden Crow just because of a few words of advice from Feng Lizhui, causing it to change and possess its own ideological power.

This level of comprehension... is a bit outrageous!
