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

Conceptualizing the concept of "heart fire" is not easy.

Since the Fire Ancestor said he could no longer imitate him...

He Li had no choice but to seek another solution, but before that, he had other questions to ask...

"Since you know the future outcome."

"Regarding the suppression of the aggregate of evil thoughts, I presume you have your own thoughts and plans. I wonder... what are your thoughts, and could you please tell me?"

He Li asked bluntly, not believing that Huo Zu would listen to him and had no other plans.

So he needs to ask first.

Asking about this matter wasn't just because He Li was curious about Huo Zu's thoughts and worried that things might conflict with Huo Zu's ideas and cause delays...

More importantly, He Lixiang knew whether Huo Zu knew exactly what to do.

Yes, we must suppress the collective evil thoughts...

He Li knew he had to do this.

Ultimately, his current actions are all based on his own speculation.

Including the sacrificial rituals he devised...

However, he was unsure whether the actions he had devised would actually align with history, so he wanted to ask if the Fire Ancestor knew a more detailed method of execution.

If he knew, then He Li wouldn't need to act according to his own speculation.

Ultimately...

His speculation stemmed from uncertainty...

However, there are considerable risks involved.

What if things don't go as planned and the results don't work out?

In the end, wouldn't things completely slip out of his control, and they all be forced by the rules, like puppets barely completing the predetermined history?

This is how history was completed...

Who knows what impact his return to the future will have on the uncertain future?

In short, He Li needs to confirm this first.

And when Huo Zu heard his question...

She glanced at him twice before replying, "The suppression of the aggregate of evil thoughts is a foregone conclusion."

"The process is not complicated."

"Severing the most evil thoughts, when the fire illuminates the long night, will temporarily eliminate all aggregates of evil thoughts in this world, and during this period, aggregates of evil thoughts will no longer be born."

"As long as you complete the conceptualization of your inner fire during this period, then the world from now on..."

"There will be no more aggregates of evil thoughts!"

Once the thought of extreme evil is eradicated, what reason is there to know?

As Huo Zu mentioned before, he came here to slay that extremely evil thought.

But what about the fire that illuminates the long night?

After thinking for a moment, He Li pressed on, "What you mean by 'lighting up the long night' is that I should keep the divine tree burning for an extended period, using the power of its branches to illuminate the long, dark night?"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Ancestor shook his head slightly.

"The fire illuminates the long night; you cannot complete it."

He Li frowned upon hearing this. Couldn't it be done? This matter didn't seem that difficult.

Furthermore, his inner fire should also be able to ignite the branches of the divine tree and unleash powerful energy, but... the Fire Ancestor obviously wouldn't say that without reason.

This made He Li somewhat suspicious.

Fire Ancestor clearly saw through his thoughts, and spoke again before he could ask any more questions...

"The branches of the sacred tree can be ignited by both of us."

"But your strength is too weak."

"Your flames are insufficient to sustain the magnificent feat of illuminating the long night, let alone cleanse the world of all evil. Only Yu Fu and I can accomplish this task successfully."

Upon hearing this, He Li's heart skipped a beat.

His intuition told him that he might have oversimplified the idea of ​​lighting up the long night and igniting the branches of the sacred tree.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense...

The fire that illuminates the long night is to light up the whole world.

Furthermore, the firelight must be powerful enough to temporarily annihilate the collective evil thoughts in the world, which is indeed something He Li cannot do at this stage.

Perhaps only the Fire Ancestor could accomplish such a thing by unleashing his power without regard to the cost...

"Wait, what about the fish-like creature?"

"Could it be that even with the power of the Fire Ancestor, this task cannot be accomplished easily?"

As if he had thought of something, He Li's eyelids twitched slightly and he suddenly understood why Yu Fu had received the worship of all the wise men and why he had obtained that powerful force.

That power was indeed useful.

"The power of King Yu Fu of Shu comes from all the supreme beings in this world..."

"Besides that, he probably also possesses the power of faith brought by all the people of Shu, or some special power of himself as the king of Shu."

"Gathering so much power..."

"If combined with the Fire Ancestor, and the branches of the Divine Tree were ignited, they would instantly burst forth, illuminating the world..."

"The fire that illuminates the long night can indeed do so."

He Li finally understood all of this.

However, he couldn't help but ask, "Did King Yu Fu of Shu himself know about this?"

"I know a little about it!" Huo Zu nodded.

This is slightly interesting.

He Li guessed that King Yu Fu of Shu must have also guessed that his sudden acquisition of great power meant he was on a mission to accomplish something very important.

This important matter could even cost him, the dignified King of Shu, Yu Fu, his life.

But He Li knew even better...

Even if Huo Zu had told King Yu Fu of Shu that he was going to die, King Yu Fu of Shu would not back down and would only move forward firmly...

Because on the day he received the bow of the wise men, Yu Fu had already prepared himself to die for posterity.

When He thought of this place...

My feelings suddenly became complicated.

Don't overthink it!

At this moment, the voice of the Fire Ancestor interrupted his thoughts, saying, "All living beings in the world are destined to return to dust."

"Since it is inevitable, what harm is there in doing something for future generations before it happens? Instead of lamenting these things, you should think about how to conceptualize your inner fire."

"Although it's a done deal..."

"But being forced to understand something by the rules will inevitably lead to a significant difference between what you learn and what you comprehend on your own."

"And this difference... will inevitably cause great changes when you return to the future, so if you don't want any accidents to happen, focus on this matter!"

hum! ! !

As Huo Zu's voice ended, He Li once again felt that familiar, intense pulling sensation.

He knew that the Fire Ancestor had brought him back.

Sure enough, after a moment of confusion...

The surrounding scenery changed from the dilapidated forest to the former Shu Kingdom city.

However, unlike before, the Fire Ancestor who looked like an ordinary middle-aged man beside He Li had vanished without a trace and his whereabouts were unknown.

After He Li looked around...

Upon discovering that he could no longer sense the Fire Ancestor's Qi, he could only shake his head inwardly.

Actually, he still had a lot of questions to ask.

But Huo Zu was clearly quite busy.

He couldn't possibly spend enough time talking to him like Nuwa had before, but considering that the Fire Ancestor was currently watching that extremely evil thought...

He Li no longer intended to find Huo Zu and continue to ask him about the other questions in his heart.

After all, the thought of extreme evil is more important.

Finding that thing as soon as possible and dealing with it is one of the most important things right now.

However, thinking of that extremely evil thought, He Li couldn't help but feel a little concerned, since the other party seemed to have enough intelligence and seemed to know a lot of things and even be making plans...

What other tricks did the other side have up their sleeve?

"Now that we know the outcome..."

"I don't believe that such an evil thought would just set up some things and then not prepare any backup plans... However, I've never even seen such a thing before."

"I couldn't possibly have guessed their trump card."

"But it's always good to be prepared..."

He Li pondered this in his heart.

By the time he came to his senses, the spectacle caused by Mu Lan in the sky had completely ended, but the capital of Shu was still bustling with people discussing the matter.

And then he heard a sound in his ear...

"Was that the Fire Ancestor just now?"

It was Yu Ji. He Li nodded upon hearing the voice and briefly explained what Huo Zu had said.

However, to He Li's surprise, he had only casually mentioned it so that Yu Ji would know some things in advance, and so that he could see if there would be any opportunities to help him later.

Who knew that after he finished speaking...

Yu Ji frowned and said, "I seem to vaguely recall what you mean by 'extremely evil thoughts'!"

Ok? ? ?

He Li was stunned when he heard this.

"How could you...know the memories of the Divine Tree?!?"

He Li subconsciously wanted to ask how Yu Ji could have an impression of the extreme evil thought, but he quickly realized that it must be due to the influence of the divine tree's memory.

After all, not long ago, Yu Ji came into contact with the divine tree and saw its memories from hundreds of millions of years ago.

Even though those memories haven't been fully processed...

Because there is too much information.

But she had at least seen it briefly, so it wasn't surprising that she had some impression of it if it was something important or special...
