After an unknown number of years, they once again merged into one, forming a complete Fire God's Staff. It was calmly inserted into the black boulder. The black boulder that could withstand the terrifying heat was easily pierced through like tofu in front of the Fire God's Staff.
Lu Chen took two steps back, then glanced at Huo Yan who was standing at the side.
He saw that this barbarian's face was filled with excitement. All the doubts, worries, and hesitation that he once had, were now completely gone.
In this ancient holy land, the God of Fire had once again proven to him that he was not wrong about him! This human was indeed the messenger that the Fire God had specially chosen. He carried the will of the Fire God, and together with the Black Fire tribe, he would bear the heavy responsibility of reviving the tribe.
At this moment, he felt Lu Chen's gaze on him, and also looked at him. At the same time, he nodded excitedly, as if he did not know what to say.
Lu Chen walked to his side, and softly said, "It has never been like this before?"
Huo Yan said, "Yes, it has been a few generations, a few hundred years, and the Fire God has never responded to us like this on the altar."
Lu Chen looked around, and saw that with the revival of the Fire God's Staff, the surging and roaring magma had already begun to calm down, returning to its original state of slow flowing. However, on the many black boulders, one could still clearly see the traces of the previous crazy burn.
Those ghastly scars were like the angry roars of a god, causing people to tremble just by looking at them.
Lu Chen said to Huo Yan, "The Fire God's Staff has been revived. Don't you want to go and worship it, or pick it up to take a look?"
Huo Yan was silent for a moment, then he firmly shook his head and said, "There's no need. This is a divine weapon that the Fire God bestowed upon you. It's useless for me to take it."
"A divine weapon, huh …" Lu Chen smiled faintly and walked to the front of the Fire God's Staff. He stretched out his hand and held the staff. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the Fire God's Staff that seemed to be flowing with brilliance and had an extraordinary aura. After a moment, he didn't seem to use much strength. It was as if he had just raised his arm slightly, and the Fire God's Staff rose from the ground. All sorts of brilliance flowed and flickered, and then slowly settled down. Finally, all of it retracted back into the staff and disappeared, turning the Fire God's Staff back into a seemingly ordinary staff.
A strange and subtle aura came from where Lu Chen was holding the Divine Staff, echoing in his mind. Scenes that seemed like ancient poems or scenes from the past appeared one by one.
His vision suddenly darkened.
At that moment, it was as if Lu Chen's entire body had suddenly lost all weight. His entire body floated up, as if he was in an endless darkness. Then he raised his head and lowered his head. In front of him and behind him, countless stars lit up, layer upon layer, endless.
There was a delicate incantation that came from the depths of this empty starry sky. It drilled into his mind and turned into strange characters that were engraved in his heart. It was as if the eyes of the gods were looking at him, and the magnificent and great Sanskrit was faintly humming.
There was the light of a flame burning, rapid and grand. In an instant, it burned through the starry sky and swallowed everything, no matter if it was light or darkness. Therefore, there was only raging fire left in the void. Everywhere was a sea of fire. The flames surrounded Lu Chen's body. It was as if there were countless arms tearing at his body, wanting to tear him into pieces.
A terrifying pain suddenly rose up. There was actually a sense of familiarity. It was the pain of the curse that had entangled him for the past ten years. And in the depths of the flames in front of him, there was a huge screen of flames that suddenly rose up. There was a terrifying mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, from ancient times to the present, from the sky to the earth.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud sound exploded like thunder from a clear sky. It caused Lu Chen, who was in a daze, to suddenly wake up. When he turned to look, he saw that Huo Yan's face was filled with shock. Huo Yan's hands were tightly hugging Lu Chen's body. Lu Chen did not know when, but he was already standing at the edge of the huge black rock. Half of his foot had already stepped out and was suspended above the magma outside.
If he took another step, he would be consigned to eternal damnation and die without a complete corpse.
…
Huo Yan roared angrily. He dragged Lu Chen a few steps back, away from the frightening edge of the black rock. Perhaps because they were too agitated and used too much force, the two of them even fell to the ground together.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Yan leapt up and glared at Lu Chen as he roared.
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly stood up. His gaze swept across the Fire God's Staff that was still in his hand. After a while, he briefly described to Huo Yan the scene he had just seen. Then, he asked, "Probably … I saw the Fire God that you revere?"
Huo Yan's body shook violently. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. But soon after, he seemed to have thought of something and silently nodded his head. There was an excited expression on his face.
"Is it because the Fire God's power is too great that you can't control it for a while?" Huo Yan probed.
Lu Chen recalled the scene he had just experienced. It actually somewhat overlapped with a certain scene in the depths of his memory. This caused him to subconsciously stretch out his hand to touch his chest. After a moment of silence, he said to Huo Yan, "When your Black Fire Tribe still had priests, was the so-called inheritance of law and power all like this?"
Huo Yan immediately shook his head. He seemed very certain as he said, "No. Although our tribe hasn't had a priest for many years, I have long heard of what happened in the past from my father. When the priests were still in our tribe, every generation of priests were directly taught by the shaman or priest of the previous generation. Except … "
At this point, his expression suddenly changed.
Lu Chen immediately sensed the change in Huo Yan's expression. He asked, "Except what?"
The excitement on Huo Yan's face faded slightly. There seemed to be a little more surprise and doubt. When he looked at Lu Chen again, there were some complicated emotions in his eyes. He said, "Except in the legends, our tribe's first generation shaman ancestor, we call him the Great Shaman. It is said that the Great Shaman was the first barbarian to comprehend the power of the Fire God. Only he was able to directly obtain the spiritual power of the Fire God in the sea of fire. "
He glanced at Lu Chen. After gritting his teeth, he said, "Just like you did today."
… …
"Let's go." Lu Chen said to Huo Yan.
Huo Yan agreed. Just as he was about to turn around, he turned his head worriedly to look at Lu Chen. With a trace of nervousness, he said to Lu Chen, "That … did you really comprehend the power of the Fire God?"
Lu Chen smiled. "I also don't know how strong its power is, so I can't say for sure. But from the looks of it, it should be okay, especially when I have this Fire God Staff. "
"Hm?" Huo Yan looked at him with some doubt. But he didn't ask much. After all, there was still a long way to go. He turned around to go back the way he came.
"Wait a minute." Lu Chen stopped him. "Let's go another way."
"Another way?" Huo Yan was stunned.
Lu Chen took two steps forward. His face was calm. His eyes gazed at the sea of magma in front of him. Suddenly, he raised the Fire God Staff with both hands, drew it in the air, and pointed it forward.
In the huge cavern, there was a sudden gust of wind. The whistling sound circled around Lu Chen. Light flashed from the Fire God Staff. After a moment, an ancient, powerful, vast and boundless aura emitted from Lu Chen's body.
The flowing magma suddenly sped up, as if it had suddenly become agitated. And under the magma, there was a rumbling sound, as if the earth was shaking.
Not long after, there was suddenly a loud sound. Amidst the rumbling sound, a cluster of black rose from the scarlet magma. It was the black stones that were similar to the surroundings.
Following that, more and more black stones rose. The magma was like a raging beast, roaring and roaring continuously. However, it could not stop the black stones that rose abruptly from biting and joining together, forming a black bridge that spanned across the entire sea of magma and fire.
When everything calmed down again, Lu Chen and Huo Yan stood on this newly appeared bridge that seemed to still have the scorching aura of the magma below. Remnants of fire could be seen everywhere on the bridge. They looked at each other.
Then, Huo Yan nodded.
Lu Chen smiled and walked forward. At the same time, he said, "Let's go from here, a new path."
