The fiery red lava spewed out of the volcano's crater and rushed into the sky. It was like a fiery red dragon rising into the sky, lighting up half of the sky.
"The fiery dragon soars into the sky. The Sacred Fire Insignia has appeared. Our tribe will prosper!"
The great elder exclaimed with a trembling voice.
"Greetings, Lava King!"
The lava demons also looked at the soaring lava with sparkling eyes. They looked at Sargeras, who was holding the Sacred Fire Insignia and walking down slowly on the lava. They knelt on one knee and exclaimed loudly.
"From today onwards, the lava demons will officially change their name to the Burning Legion!"
Sargeras raised the Sacred Fire Insignia high above his head, and a ball of fiery red flames rose. Drops of golden-red lava dripped from the flames and floated towards the lava demons who were half-kneeling on the ground. They sank into the glabella of the lava demons and turned into a fiery symbol in the shape of a mountain. It was as if a layer of shackles had been wiped away. Rolling lava flowed rapidly on the surface of their bodies, and they felt unprecedentedly carefree.
"Burning Legion!"
"Burning Legion!!"
"Burning Legion!!!"
All the lava demons stood up one after another, and their shouts echoed throughout the entire island.
…
The news of Alfreid and Simmons perishing together spread like wildfire, causing the Demon Islands to tremble.
The chiefs of two of the top ten tribes actually died at the same time. No matter if they were killed or really perished together, such a thing had never happened in the past 100 years. The shock it brought was even more intense than when the spatial demon patriarch was killed.
Meanwhile, the abyss demons and flaming demons had already entered a state of war preparation. After both parties had a small-scale battle on West Point Island, they each gathered a large number of their people and were ready to enter a large-scale battle at any time.
A terrifying storm was brewing.
At the critical juncture of the peace talks, if the abyss demons and flaming demons started a war first, the demons' stance in the peace talks might change.
The abyss demons and flaming demons were fanatical advocates of war. They tried to push for a racial war and hoped that they could obtain a dominant position in this war.
That night, many demons on the Demon Islands couldn't sleep.
…
After washing up, Meg lay back on his bed. He closed his eyes and began to check the rewards he received after killing Alfred.
First, there was the title of "Guardian of the Base." Meg wasn't sure what it was used for. It was probably similar to the title of "Good Guy Card."
What really piqued Meg's interest was the chance to ask a confidential question.
"System, how do I use this opportunity? Can I ask any question I want? For example, are you my biological child? "Meg raised his eyebrows.
"Although the host is my father, I'm definitely not the host's biological son!" The system said solemnly.
Meg nodded. "I see. That's fine too. As long as you know how to call me daddy."
"No, no, the Host is not this System's father, and this System is not the Host's biological son. This System only exists because of the Host's appearance!" The System corrected in exasperation.
"You see, isn't this the conclusion of the chicken before the egg? In terms of cause and effect, I'm still your father," Meg said with a smile.
"The question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, has yet to come up with a definite answer. If we use this as a judgment, from a certain point of view, this system might be the host's father."
"Heh, without me, there wouldn't be you. But without you, I'm still me. So, System, do you think you're a father or a son? "Meg laughed with contempt.
"Father." The System blurted out.
"Good boy." Meg nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, let's talk about this confidential question. What kind of question can be considered confidential?" Meg asked.
"Secrets that are hidden outside the knowledge of this world and not known by most people will be classified as confidential. Once these secrets are exposed, there might be some unpredictable effects on this world. Therefore, the Host is shielded, and the System is also in a limited state of eating. "The System answered.
Meg was deep in thought. If humans had secrets, then it wasn't strange that this world had secrets that were not known by people. Many of these secrets were kept in high places by the major races.
"The Host has killed the Base Destroyer, Alfred, and obtained the title of Base Guardian. You have also obtained a confidential question and the opportunity to obtain the answer from the secret vault. This is a rare opportunity, please cherish it."
"In other words, this might be a secret that even you have no way of knowing?"
"Yes."
Meg went into deep thought after receiving the System's affirmative answer. Although he had been absorbing the knowledge of this world from books for the past half a year, and understood this world through countless ancient books and history, he did have many doubts about this world.
For example, what kind of world was the Norland Continent before the racial war started?
Why did Lantisde sink? Why wasn't it recorded in the history books?
What was the devil that signed the agreement with Alfred?
…
Questions flashed past his mind one by one. They were all questions that he wanted to know, but had no way of knowing.
"I want to know what kind of existence the skeleton that pulled me into the stone statue space was." Meg hesitated for a while, and finally chose this question.
That strange stone statue, the black fog that appeared consecutively in The Wind Forest and the Demon Islands, and the skeleton that appeared in the stone statue space all made Meg feel uneasy.
The fear of the unknown made him feel uncomfortable.
"What lies in eternal slumber is not necessarily death. Spirits of the dead that have experienced strange eons will also die."
Accompanied by the sound of an old-fashioned typewriter, a line of black words appeared in Meg's mind.
Meg read it softly with furrowed brows. This paragraph looked familiar.
The sound of the typewriter stopped, and the line of words gradually disappeared.
"I remember now. This paragraph came from Abdullah Alhassad's' Book of the Dead '." Meg's eyes lit up as he suddenly remembered where this paragraph came from. However, looking at the words that had completely disappeared, he frowned again, and said, "But, what does this paragraph have to do with this question?"
The secret vault didn't give any other answer.
"That's it? System, you're trying to scam me. " Meg was stunned for a moment. He felt like he had been played. In order to kill Alfred, he had racked his brains and gone through a series of operations before he could successfully kill him. In the end, he got such an ambiguous sentence in return. Moreover, it was a sentence from a book on Earth.
"The secret vault has been closed again. The host has no right to ask again," the System answered.
