Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

After safely crossing the Shawang River, a vast expanse of land appeared before us, as if it had been scorched red by flames.

This is the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, a pristine place isolated by the treacherous Shawang River.

Even the hunter mages who love to go on adventures don't know much about this land.

"Have you noticed how hot it suddenly gets here?"

Less than half a day after leaving the Sha Wang River, Zhao Manyan stuck out his tongue and asked.

It looked like it was about to be burned to a crisp.

"It's ahead! It looks like it's on fire up ahead!" Zhang Xiaohou wiped the sweat from his brow and pointed in the direction the group was heading.

"No way? It's so hot, and someone's still setting fires? Could it be that a spirit has appeared in the world?"

Mo Fan's eyes lit up as he listened to Zhang Xiaohou's description.

We encountered a spirit seed as soon as we entered the Scorching Plains. It's truly a fertile land for fire-type resources!

"It's a fire calamity, and it's approaching us at an extremely fast speed," He An explained calmly, glancing ahead.

"A baptism of fire? How could it come so quickly?" Chen Ying's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

According to her "mother's" calculations, the fire calamity should have been some time away, so how could it have come so early?

Perhaps due to He An, the group encountered a fire as soon as they stepped into the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.

"What should we do now?" Mo Fan turned to look at his external brain, Lingling.

At times like these, Doraemon would always demonstrate her extraordinary wisdom and knowledge.

His eyes were as clear as a college student's—oh, no, he did look like a college student.

Looking at Mo Fan's clear eyes, Lingling sighed and facepalmed.

"Of course! Run back!"

"No need for that, let's move on."

He An remained firmly seated on the back of the Shadow Wolf, his body surrounded by a mixture of dark purple and blood-red energy.

That is a combined realm of the Shadow World of the Shadow faction and the Netherworld God Realm of the Undead faction.

Whether it can withstand forbidden magic is still unknown, but it can easily stop a small fire calamity.

"Head towards the center of the fire disaster; the closer you get to the center, the more abundant the resources will be."

Before He An could finish speaking, Mo Fan rode off on his Shadow Wolf, charging ahead with eyes that seemed to be filled with the symbol of money.

It wasn't until it had dashed three or five kilometers away that it ran back in a disheveled state, as if its backside had been burned by flames.

"Of course, that's on the condition that you don't leave my territory," He An added slowly.

"Old He, why didn't you say something sooner?" Mo Fan said, rubbing his butt with a resentful expression.

He just experienced firsthand what it's like to have your butt burned by flames.

With a slight smile, Xin Xia cast a healing spell on Mo Fan to alleviate his discomfort.

"Who told you to rush out without listening to what people are saying? Are you the King of Haste?" Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes.

He hadn't even settled accounts with Mo Fan for the several times he'd tricked him before, so now was the perfect opportunity to retaliate and collect some interest.

"Brother Fan, didn't you tell me you were here for vacation?"

Zhang Xiaohou watched the raging tsunami that swept past He An's domain and smiled bitterly as he gripped He Yu's hand tightly beside him.

When Mo Fan approached him, he said it was a trip to Dunhuang, which is why he brought He Yu along.

If he had known Mo Fan was going to go this far, he would have come alone.

"Well, I didn't know it was so dangerous." Mo Fan scratched the back of his head.

He only intended to form a contract with Yan Ji, but who would have thought that there would be this heavenly tribulation flame?

Looking at the scorching waves of fire rolling across the domain and the various demons being burned to ashes under the flames, Mo Fan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Luckily, I managed to bring Lao He here, otherwise I, a dignified fire mage, would probably have been cremated by this calamity!

"This calamity won't last long, and after the fire baptism, more high-quality fire-attribute resources will be born on this land. Everyone can explore them on their own."

He An gave instructions, ignoring Chen Ying who was about to say something.

All she could say was the information from the original work, which He An not only knew but also knew more and was more accurate than her.

After giving instructions to everyone, He An used the teleportation ability of the Shadow World to go to where Xingzhu was.

-----------------

Traveling in the Shadow World, a place without spatial and temporal limitations, is much, much faster than in reality.

He An, who was just in the midst of the fire, suddenly found himself in the Fire Cloud Forest atop Pingding Mountain.

"Aww!"

Xingzhu looked at its master who emerged from the shadows and affectionately nuzzled its head against him.

He An chuckled and stroked the increasingly thick wolf fur on its head.

It seems that there is no risk of it going bald in the short term.

"Singing~~~~?"

A graceful, fiery figure hovered near He An and Xing Zhu, uttering a questioning sound.

"Hello, guardian of Flame Princess." He An greeted her with a smile.

Knowing the original story, he naturally understood that this was not some tyrannical ruler of the Scorching Plains, but rather a truly pitiful person.

"Sing?"

Perhaps it was due to his long-term interaction with non-human creatures, or perhaps it was some effect that came with his innate talent, but He An actually understood the meaning behind the Flame Witch's words.

"It's the Shadow element."

"Yinyin?"

"No, I haven't reached that level yet; it's just that I have a special innate talent."

The two, one human and one fire witch, chatted in the Fire Cloud Forest until sunset.

The night sky is like a merciless curtain, enveloping the vast array of stars that have fallen from the heavens to the earth.

"Yingying!"

The Flame Witch suddenly stood up, pointed in a direction, and cried out urgently.

"You mean there's something suitable for me there?" He An looked in the direction the Flame Witch was pointing.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be the location of the Starry Sky Tree.

The Flame Witch led He An quickly through the dense Fire Cloud Forest and arrived at a rocky outcrop.

At the very top of the rocky land stands a colossal tree that reaches for the sky.

The tree stood alone under the night sky, devoid of any leaves, as if the countless stars were its own leaves.

"Is there anything here that suits me?" He An looked around but found nothing. He looked at the Flame Witch who had brought him there with a puzzled expression.

He knew this was the birthplace of the Fire Calamity Fruit, but it was a treasure that only fire-type and summoning-type users could use.

He was practically steeped in the evil dark magic himself, so how could the Flame Witch possibly think there was anything suitable for him here?

"Singing!"

The Flame Witch suddenly approached the Starry Sky Tree and placed her hand on the trunk.

At the same time, she gestured for He An to imitate her and do it together.

He An silently placed his hand on it, and in the next instant, everything before his eyes began to change.

The starry sky was drawn infinitely closer, but the Flame Witch had already vanished.

This is?

He An sensed the immense power hidden beneath the starry sky.

Behind the Star Language Heavenly Tree, besides the Calamity Flame, there is another power at play!

That power was ancient and desolate, yet incredibly powerful!
