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

"Is this the capital of the Shu Kingdom?"

A sound rang out outside the capital of Shu.

The source of the sound was naturally He Li and others.

At this point, a considerable amount of time had passed since the trip to the Fish-Duck Altar, his encounter with He Li, and the start of his return journey, as well as the time when Mu Lan was taken away by Fei Lian to deal with the mysterious wind.

The outcome for Mu Lan is still unknown.

He Li has successfully arrived in the Shu Kingdom.

Perhaps it was because of his inner fire, or perhaps because King Yu Fu of Shu also possessed astonishing power.

So whether it's an aggregate of evil thoughts, or other enemies lurking in the darkness...

These beings did not attack them again along the way, which allowed them to return at a faster speed, and now they looked out at the rather large city before them...

He Li, however, had a strange feeling.

He keenly sensed that some powerful fire force seemed to be hidden within the city.

He had intended to try to understand the other person by following their feelings.

However, that power vanished too quickly.

He Li didn't even have time to fully perceive it before he completely lost his sense of that fiery power, which made him suspicious and he couldn't help but look at Yu Fu beside him...

"Is there someone here who has awakened the fire elemental power?"

He asked, and Yu Fu nodded in response: "Yes, although the number of those who have awakened supernatural powers is not large."

"But the people of Shu were also numerous."

"There is a sufficient group size..."

"So even though there are a few Awakened Ones of Divine Power, they won't be too rare. However... the abilities of the Awakened Ones of Fire Divine Power here are very limited."

"His flames are not capable of fighting against evil thoughts, let alone easily destroying them."

"That's just relatively ordinary fire power."

Hmm? Hearing Yu Fu's explanation, He Li frowned, clearly sensing that something was wrong.

After all, the power of the flames he had just sensed was so strong that it surprised him, and the person who possessed such power must also be incredibly powerful.

For those aggregates of evil thoughts...

Such an existence is bound to be able to cope.

Because flames, imbued with the conceptual power of the Fire Ancestor, can influence evil intentions.

Therefore, if the person using this flame is strong enough, even if their flame does not reach the standard of the Heart Flame, it will definitely not be weak.

But judging from what Yu Fu said...

It's clear that the person who possesses the fire-based supernatural power is being treated as a relatively ordinary person who has awakened supernatural powers.

It's impossible that Yu Fu misjudged the situation.

He was, after all, the King of Shu.

With his current power, if that fire-wielding power user is truly extraordinary, King Yu Fu of Shu would absolutely not fail to recognize his strength.

In other words, King Yu Fu of Shu's statement only indicates that he was referring to a fire-wielding supernatural being...

The person perceived by He Li is not the same person.

Thinking of this, he pressed further: "Besides those with fire-based supernatural abilities, are there any other similar ones...?"

"A powerful individual who wields the power of fire?"

"No!" Yu Fu shook his head.

His response was very affirmative.

But He Li was even more puzzled when he saw this. If Yu Fu didn't know that the royal city had a person with extremely strong fire power, then who exactly was the one he sensed?

It couldn't possibly be the Fire Ancestor, could it?

That seems unlikely, considering that the level of the Fire Ancestor is similar to that of Nuwa and Zhulong.

Such an existence... if it really appeared here, the fluctuations in the flame power it would generate would be terrifying. He Li could probably sense it clearly from a great distance.

Instead of discovering it only when you get close to the city.

Furthermore, if the Fire Ancestor wanted to hide...

Given the opponent's strength, he probably wouldn't have sensed anything, and the situation just now wouldn't have occurred.

"If it's not the Fire Ancestor, then who is it?"

"Is it the Great Sun Crow? Or perhaps...?"

He Li pondered silently. Although he was puzzled, he was not too nervous and did not even take the initiative to tell Yu Fu that he had sensed the presence of strong flames in the royal city.

The reason he did this was because he knew that the one who possessed this power was unlikely to be an enemy.

After all, even those golden crows...

It's just a difference in perspective; when faced with such a catastrophe, they know to put aside their chaotic thoughts and cooperate with other powerful individuals to deal with it.

So the one who possesses the power of fire...

Naturally, they are also unlikely to be enemies.

Of course... speculation is speculation, but He Li will not let his guard down until he is certain.

After all, what if?

Such things are unpredictable, so while abandoning the topic, he continued to sense the surrounding city, hoping to find the presence he had just sensed again.

However, He Li didn't say much...

However, King Yu Fu of Shu still sensed something different from his somewhat unusual questions.

But He Li didn't say much...

In his view, this means he doesn't really want to talk about it.

If the person indicated that it wasn't a big problem, then Yu Fu would pretend not to know and wouldn't pursue the matter further. The group would then quickly follow Yu Fu to his residence in the city.

And what happened next...

Yu Fu then prepared to return to discuss the matter of He Li's deification with the many shamans and ministers.

During this time, He Li and Yu Ji remained in the capital of Shu to continue their deduction of the "Great Nuo Fu" while also inquiring about the Fire Ancestor.

In any case, Yu Fu had many scouts under his command.

And there are quite a few who are well-informed about the news.

With their help in inquiring and searching, there's no need for He Li to search haphazardly.

However, while He Li remained in the capital of Shu, pondering how to successfully complete the "Great Nuo Rhapsody" in this era, and waiting for Yu Fu to assist him in promoting the deification method...

On this day, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky!

hum! ! !

Suddenly, a streak of blue light, like a shooting star, streaked across the gray sky illuminated by the Candle Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, countless green rays of light, trailing long energy tails, left streaks of light across the gray sky, creating a scene resembling a meteor shower that was not only beautiful…

More importantly...

As this spectacle appeared, He Li keenly sensed that there seemed to be an extra kind of energy in the world.

That thing is different from spiritual energy.

It's somewhat similar to "rhyme"!

But it seems a little different.

Besides, He Li vaguely sensed that the green objects that pierced the gray sky and fell were not meteorites; they seemed to be countless indescribable things...

They look like living beings, like souls, but they are not within He Li's understanding.

Therefore, He Li cannot name them.

Moreover, those things all vanished before hitting the ground as they continued to fall... However, He Li actually discovered that these things did not simply disappear into thin air.

They were absorbed.

It was absorbed by this world and by the Way of Heaven.

And this... was something he vaguely sensed when he comprehended the Dao of Body Transformation and resonated with the world.

Although he didn't know what these things were or why the Heavenly Dao wanted to absorb them, he vaguely guessed that these things might be beneficial to the world.

And just as he was observing this strange phenomenon...

As he pondered what those things were and the changes they brought about...

A voice suddenly rang in my ears: "The unknown beings of the void brought by the mysterious wind have fallen once again!"

The sound was very close.

It sounded as if it were right behind me.

This sent chills down He Li's spine, because he hadn't noticed anyone approaching him at all, so when he heard the sound, he almost jerked his head back to look.

Immediately, he noticed a middle-aged man dressed in animal skin clothing standing behind him.

The middle-aged man, holding a tree staff and with disheveled hair, looked somewhat like a wizard but even more valiant.

"You are..." He Li frowned.

Although he was unaware of the danger...

But his intuition told him that the person in front of him was extremely powerful, and even if he used his ultimate ability to deal with him, he might not be able to gain any advantage.

Therefore, while he was on guard, he did not dare to make a move rashly and only asked tentative questions.

But the other party did not answer him.

The man stared at the sky and continued, "The mysterious wind that lingers outside the world blows to who knows where. I'm very curious... what exactly is in the infinite void?"

"Unfortunately, I seem unable and lack the energy to explore like Zhulong and the others."

"However, those unknown things from the void..."

"They occasionally carry information from other lands."

"If only someone could understand it."

At this point, ignoring He Li's wariness, he turned to look at He Li and spoke again: "Cangjie... he created the universal script for understanding all things in this world..."

"Who knows if, in the future, there will be other great sages who can create writing to interpret the void!"

Huh? Upon hearing this, He Li's eyelids twitched.

He seemed to have thought of something.

He stared at the person in front of him, and tentatively asked in a tone of shock and disbelief...

"You are...the Fire Ancestor?!?"
