Chapter 1410 - 1358—1359
In the many years since Fire Country was established, it has seen numerous Kings, each standing at the very pinnacle of the Demi-God Realm and possessing the Divine Bloodline. Why then is it that hardly one in ten can truly shatter the divine tribulations and ascend to the Divine Position?
Are these failed demigods really falling due to insufficient strength, overestimating themselves against the Divine Calamity that they cannot withstand?
Of course not!
Others may not be privy to this secret, but how could the Kings of Fire Country be unaware?
Perhaps among them were those who, driven into a corner, clung to a desperate, final struggle for survival. But surely not every King was such.
A shocking secret lies buried within this pattern, a grand conspiracy laid out since the inception of Fire Country.
The founders of Fire Country were the Fire Tribe, whose inheritance stemmed from the Fire God. Every creature of the Fire Tribe could become the descendant of the Fire God, and it was the presence of the Fire God that conferred upon them the status of a God Clan, allowing them to stand proudly between heaven and earth.
But reveling in the Fire God’s protection and glory comes with a corresponding responsibility. Indeed, the position of King of Fire Country is the most powerful within the Fire Tribe, but it is also the tribe’s greatest trap.
The Fire God did not leave his descendants merely to perpetuate his bloodline, or at least not solely for that purpose. He sought to strengthen himself.
He nurtured these descendants from his own bloodline and, as they ascended to the Demi-God Realm and were on the cusp of breaking through to the Gods’ Realm, the Fire God would harvest them, turning them into nourishment for his own elevation to a higher state of existence.
