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

The fire in Yu Fu's heart burned, and that flame not only dispelled the influence of evil thoughts on Yu Fu, but also gave Yu Fu many positive emotions such as enthusiasm and confidence.

Influenced by the fire in his heart, Yu Fu suddenly felt less afraid of death.

His inner strength grew...

His strong inner strength and gradually increasing positive emotions continued to provide enough fuel for the inner fire within him, allowing it to continue burning...

This creates a virtuous cycle.

As long as the fire in Yu Fu's heart remains extinguished.

Then evil thoughts will find it difficult to grow, and it will be difficult for all kinds of evil thoughts to weaken the fish again...

"The strength of your inner fire originates from within yourself."

"When you are strong and upright, and free from evil thoughts, your inner fire will burn even more fiercely. This is what I meant when I said that the ability to suppress evil thoughts mainly depends on yourself."

After the inner fire on Yu Fu's body gradually subsided, He Licai began to briefly explain the matter of the inner fire.

Yu Fu nodded upon hearing this.

However, after a moment's thought...

He couldn't help but ask, "Can the Heart Fire... be used by our human race like the Fire Ancestor did?"

After asking the question, perhaps feeling that it wasn't right for someone to share He Li's inner fire with everyone, he explained the reason for his question before He Li could respond.

There are too many evil thoughts in the world.

"The world's living beings are also threatened by an ever-growing and increasingly numerous aggregate of evil..."

"Every time night falls, countless humans and other creatures die at the hands of the aggregate of evil, while we can only cower and be powerless to retaliate."

"If the fire of the heart can be used by all living beings..."

"Perhaps the night will no longer be dangerous!"

"Also..." Yu Fu paused.

His gaze also fell on He Li, and only when he saw that He Li's expression did not change did he continue speaking...

"Furthermore, since I can be affected by evil thoughts, becoming vulnerable and even generating more evil thoughts, it's possible that there are many other beings in this world who are just like me."

"If they have a suppressed inner fire..."

"That would definitely avoid a lot of trouble!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at He Li with a somewhat apprehensive yet hopeful gaze, waiting for an answer.

He Li shook his head upon hearing this.

"I am not the Fire Ancestor. Even if I wanted to share my inner fire, I could not do what the Fire Ancestor did, so that all the fires in the world could have his power in the form of a concept."

"I've considered what you're talking about, but I simply can't do it."

"However, if we could face the Fire Ancestor directly..."

"I received guidance from the Fire Ancestor."

"Then... I might be able to bestow the power of my inner fire upon all living beings in this world."

He Li's tone revealed helplessness.

His strength was indeed limited. Even with the help of Heaven, some things could not be comprehended easily, especially conceptualizing one's own power.

This kind of thing is very likely to involve rules.

If it could be done so easily...

Then the world would probably be full of gods.

Therefore, in He Li's view, the only way he could do this was to consult the Fire Ancestor.

After all, the Fire Ancestor had already accomplished this. However, he wanted to see the Fire Ancestor not only to conceptualize the power of the Heart Fire, but also to completely eliminate evil thoughts.

Based on information known to later generations...

For example, the Nuo technique of burning fire at night on the stone tablet is enough to show that he had an intersection with the Fire Ancestor.

And their paths will intersect...

Nine times out of ten, it's because they all want to drive away the darkness and get rid of those evil aggregates, but... so far, He Li still hasn't found the right way.

Otherwise, they would have already come into contact with the Fire Ancestor.

Of course, he wasn't in a particular hurry about it.

Anyway, according to the course of history... he will inevitably deal with the aggregate of evil thoughts and the Fire Ancestor will appear.

However... he didn't want the situation to spiral out of his control and cause unexpected changes, which is why he always tried to find clues and communicate with the Fire Ancestor smoothly.

Although Yu Fu didn't know what was going on in his mind...

But at least he could see that He Li had plenty of reasons to see Huo Zu.

So, after a moment's thought...

Yu Fu continued, "Just now... when I received the ceremony from the sages, I vaguely sensed that the power from the Fire Ancestor seemed to be located in the general area north of my Shu Kingdom."

"If possible, perhaps... you could return to Shu with us to search for it."

Huh? He Li was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He wasn't surprised that Yu Fu sensed the Fire Ancestor.

What surprised him was that Nuwa seemed to have foreseen everything and arranged for him to appear at the altar, whereupon he encountered Yu Fu nearby, and now Yu Fu sensed the Fire Ancestor...

Could it be that Nuwa knew in advance...?

Yu Fu can sense the Fire Ancestor? But the problem is, how does she know about something that will happen in the future?

Although she read information from the future.

The problem is that she only read the information about the future that He Li knew. As for Yu Fu's ability to sense the whereabouts of the Fire Ancestor, he didn't know that, and naturally, Nuwa couldn't read it either.

However, Nuwa somehow found out.

"How did she do that?"

He Li couldn't help but ponder.

He didn't believe that Nuwa had simply guessed and sent him here.

However, after thinking it over and over, He Li still couldn't come up with a solution, so he could only nod in response to Yu Fu: "Alright, besides, the return journey might not be so safe."

"If we go together, things are less likely to go wrong."

As he spoke, Yu Fu was overjoyed to see that He Li had agreed to continue their journey to the Shu Kingdom.

So the group set off again.

On the way, He Li once again took the initiative to mention to Yu Fu the increasingly powerful aggregate of evil thoughts, and even mentioned that the gods entering his dreams might be related to his growth.

"If the god in your dream is really me, it means I still need to experience things to grow."

"After all, my current strength is too limited."

"It is impossible to completely eliminate evil thoughts."

All I heard was He Li speaking.

Yu Fu nodded upon hearing this: "I understand, but... exactly how should we do it?"

"It's hard to say..." He Li shook his head, and then added, "However, I do have some ideas that we can try, but we need the King's strong support to do so."

"Oh?" Yu Fu asked, somewhat curious.

"What are your thoughts? Sir, why don't you share them?"

He pressed further, and He Li thought for a moment before replying, "My idea is the method of deifying living beings..."

"There are many gods in this world, and their methods of becoming gods are all different, but there is one thing... that is, they all need their believers to become stronger."

"This shows that gods must receive some benefit when they are worshipped by believers."

"If I am destined to become a god..."

"Perhaps we can try this method and see if it can help me grow."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fu frowned.

He had actually heard of the method He Li was talking about.

In this world, some beings will tempt other beings to worship them in order to obtain special powers unknown to all living beings so that they can grow stronger.

But, becoming a god?

To be honest, as far as he knew, almost no living being had ever become a god through this method.

Forget about becoming a god, even becoming an immortal is difficult.

At best, they could gain some power through this method and become evil spirits or demons below the level of immortals. So when they heard He Li propose a similar idea...

Yu Fucai felt that it was somewhat unreliable.

He Li seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

He continued, "Whether this method will work or not, I'm not entirely sure..."

"But what sets me apart from other beings is that if I am a dream-entering deity, it means that I originally had the potential to become a god, and this action only accelerated that process."

"Of course, if I'm wrong..."

"The losses won't be too great."

"Also, perhaps... you and I could promote this in conjunction with Heartfire."

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Yu Fu looked suspicious.

"How so?" he asked.

He Li squinted and replied, "It's very simple. While attempting the method of deifying living beings, I will grant some people the power of the Heart Flame so that more people can witness its power firsthand..."

"At that time, the fire of the heart will be known."

"If we can find the Fire Ancestor later, it will be easier for all beings to acquire the conceptualization of the Heart Fire."

"And this will also increase the success rate of deification."

"After all, people are more willing to believe that I might be a god after witnessing a miracle with their own eyes, and they are more willing to worship me... And even if we guessed wrong, at least the Heartfire has been promoted."

"Anyway, we're not at a disadvantage!"

After he finished speaking, Yu Fu nodded thoughtfully.

Actually, it wouldn't be difficult for him to help He Li. After all, he is the King of Shu. If he gives an order to mobilize the majority of people, He Li can be deified among the people very quickly.

However, the effectiveness is uncertain.

Because, ultimately, this is a proactive move...

In the past, the gods were worshipped by living beings, but they were always passive and never actively interfered with the lives of sentient beings!
