Angor's question wasn't without reason.
Ever since they entered the underground maze, they saw many runes related to the Baiyuan people such as Snake Staff, Snake Awl, and so on. Most of them were found in the ruins of laboratories.
From these, Angor could tell that Nether City had something to do with the Baiyuan people ten thousand years ago.
However, Angor didn't think that Sisia's Chest had anything to do with the Baiyuan people.
When Sisya tried to drag Angor into the "dark space", she was stopped by a strange power inside her left earlobe. Plus, Sisia's curiosity about his earlobe, as well as the "familiar ripple" she mentioned earlier, made Angor wonder if Sisia had sensed the Origin Fire.
And Sisia's "dissatisfaction" confirmed Angor's suspicion. The "familiar ripple" Sisia mentioned was indeed the Origin Fire.
Ever since Oderklas gave Angor the Fire Brand, very few people could sense the existence of the Origin Fire through the brand. Even Rhine could only sense the flame imprint itself, but could not sense the Origin Flame sealed within it. Dodoro, on the other hand, was able to sense it since he was a Baiyuan person as well.
The fact that Sisia could sense the Origin Fire was enough for Angor to ask, "Are you a Baiyuan person?"
Besides, Sisia's name also fit the naming rules of the Baiyuan people.
Bobota, Floral Sparrow, Dodoro, Sisia … The Baiyuan people all liked to use cute and cute names.
When he asked the question, he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Meanwhile, Sisia remained silent for a long time after hearing Angor's question.
Her "I'm tired, get the hell out of here" attitude seemed to have disappeared. The dark space was filled with a tense atmosphere.
"… Why do you ask?"
Angor listened to Sisia's calm voice and thought to himself, That's more like it. An old monster who was trapped in a dark box for ten thousand years can still sound so passionate. She's obviously faking it. The cold, dark, gloomy, and merciless tone was more normal.
He never considered that Sisya's fake voice might be a friendly gesture.
"I was going to ask something else, but I suddenly thought of this question, so I asked. There's no reason, "Angor said frankly, and he was right. Since he was thinking about it, he might as well ask.
Silesia fell into a long silence again.
However, he also sensed a pair of cold eyes staring at him from the dark mist.
The atmosphere began to slowly turn cold. Not only did the stagnant feeling not dissipate, it became even stronger.
Angor decided to speak again, "Is your question a question, Master? If that's the case, I've already answered your question. It's your turn to answer my previous question. "
"You're from Baiyuan, aren't you?" This time, Angor no longer sounded doubtful.
"Yes or no, does it mean anything to you? Or perhaps, do you think that if I were a Bai Yuan person, I would be used by you just like the other Bai Yuan people who were slaughtered? "
Sisya's voice was filled with anger, and her words were also filled with hatred.
Even if Cece did not want to admit it, Angor could tell that Cece was a Root Worshipper. Or at least, she used to be a Root Worshipper.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Bai Yuan people were still alive, right? If you've been here all this time, how did you know all this? "
"I have my ways," Sisya said.
Angor pretended to be enlightened. "Ah, I remember now. Bai Yuan people share a common ancestral altar, which exists in the minds of all Bai Yuan people. Every Bai Yuan person should be able to see the extinguishing of the fire and understand what it means. "
"So, Sisya knows about the outside world because of that?"
But before Sisya could answer, Angor quickly dismissed the question.
"Ah, I almost forgot. You can't even sense your soul, so even a Bai Yuan person shouldn't be able to sense the altar. So, there must be someone else who brought you news from the outside world. Then … could it be another intelligent creature living in this underground waterway? "
Angor really wanted to ask her if it was the Three-Eyed Blue Devil who told her about the Bai Yuan people. But he didn't ask. After all, it wasn't important.
Angor already had enough aggro on him, and he wouldn't be able to "show off" anymore.
"How did you know about the ancestral altar? Who told you? " For some reason, Sisia's voice sounded calm. However, Angor could tell that Sisia's calmness was only on the surface. There was something else going on in her mind.
She was already ready to kill Angor.
Angor knew that he had to show something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to "show off" anymore.
"How did I learn about this secret? A Bai Yuan person told me herself, of course. "
Angor purposely emphasized the word "herself".
"… There are still Origin Worshippers alive in the outside world?"
Sisya's voice remained as calm as before, as if she was just asking a random question. But from what Angor could sense, Sisya's real emotions were not like that.
Before, Sisya's voice was filled with murderous intent. But now, they were in a perilous situation. Amidst the disbelief, there was a faint trace of hope.
"So, the quiz game is over?"
"Screw the quiz game. I'm announcing that from now on, there will be no more quiz games. Answer my question now, or get the hell out of here. I don't have time to waste on you. "
Ciesia was in high spirits again, but under her excitement, she was cautious. Clearly, even though Cilicia had changed her way of responding, she was still acting.
"Even if there's no more quiz games, I still hope that you can answer my question before I answer yours. Sisya, are you a Bai Yuan person? " Angor repeated his question again, but this time, he put on a more serious expression.
"You've already guessed it. Why do you need me to tell you the exact answer?" Sisya stared at Angor for a while before she spoke again.
"Because if I can't be sure, there's no need for me to stay here any longer."
Angor didn't explain, and Sisya didn't ask. After a moment of silence, she finally answered with certainty, "Yes, I used to be a Bai Yuan person. Now … I'm still one. "
Angor sighed in relief after hearing Sisya's words.
He had been suppressing it for too long. If he didn't do it now, he wouldn't be able to do it anymore. Luckily, Sisya answered his question, and she gave him more information than he wanted to know.
"I used to be one of the Origin Worshippers." There was nothing wrong with that. Cissia admitted her identity.
"Now, I'm still one." The second half of her sentence was very thought-provoking. She was indirectly saying that no matter how she changed, no matter if she was alive or dead, no matter how much time passed, no matter if there were still any living members of the Baiyuan Clan, she would always be a Baiyuan.
No matter what happened to Sisya, as long as it was related to the Bai Yuan people, she would always side with them.
At first, Angor only wanted to confirm Sisya's identity and reveal some information about Bobota and Floret Sparrow so that Sisya, who was also a Bai Yuan person, would have a better chance to ask for more information.
But now, Sisya's attitude made him feel more assured. Maybe he could tell her more information, including Dodoro's situation.
Before Dodoro successfully ignited the ancestral altar, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a senior guide him.
But he didn't know if he should tell her now.
"I've answered your question. Now it's your turn. Are there any more Bai Yuan people out there? Who told you about the ancestral altar? "
"So, the quiz game is back?"
"Let's play a —" Sisya's temper flared. "Let's play —"
But before she could finish her sentence, she stopped abruptly.
A faint white flame had appeared on Angor's fingertip.
Sensing the familiar waves in the fire, Cissy could not help but cover her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open.
That's … Origin Fire?!
Looking at the familiar and warm flame, Sisya felt as if she saw the scene from ten thousand years ago. Back then, every Bai Yuan person could see their ancestral altar burning for eternity whenever they closed their eyes.
It was the Origin Fire that burned in the ancestral altar.
The Primordial Flame represented the first flame of civilization, as well as the spark of creation and continuity.
According to the legends, as long as the Origin Fire in the ancestral altar was not extinguished, the heritage of the Bai Yuan people would never end. But Sisya knew that apart from the truth, nothing could last forever. Even the world's consciousness would eventually wither, let alone the Origin Fire.
Many Grand Priests also prophesied that the Origin Fire would be extinguished, which meant that the Bai Yuan people would never be able to escape from the calamity.
However, nothing could last forever. At the same time, nothing was destined.
A single spark could start a prairie fire. The Primordial Fire Essence was that tiny spark. As long as he could obtain a wisp of the Primordial Fire Essence, even if it was just a tiny flame, he could reignite the Ancestral Altar.
But that was only if the Bai Yuan people were still alive and had the Origin Fire.
Ten thousand years had passed, and Sisya never heard anything about the Bai Yuan people's reappearance. Every time, the "Origin Fire" brought her bad news.
One by one, the Bai Yuan people were manipulated, used, and eventually died.
A thousand years ago, the "Origin Fire" brought news of the death of the last Bai Yuan person.
The extinction of the entire race was "destined".
Since then, Sisya always asked in the dark if there were any other people. Was she the last "Origin Fire"? And …
Was she a deserter?
Many thoughts flashed through Cisia's mind, and all of this was because of this sudden intruder, who had brought a glimmer of hope.
…
While Sisya was staring at the white Origin Fire, Angor was also looking at it.
However, he didn't think as much as Sisya did. He was thinking about a descendant of a demon god.
Also, Olucia was Monkey's biggest target when he started the Lasudran Campaign.
Four Origin Fires were found at the end of the Lasudran Campaign. Apart from the one that belonged to the nightclub owner, Angor had three of them.
The brightest and most complete one was the orange-colored one.
As for the other two, one was purple and one was white. These two Origin Flames were originally given to Orucia to open up a path to a lost city. Since Olucia's body was already in Angor's possession, he didn't mind giving the two Origin Fires to Olucia. However, Olucia asked Grevus to give the Origin Fire back to Angor.
Looking at the slightly dimmed Origin Fire, Angor couldn't help but think about the proud but unique descendant of a demon god.
"It's said that Olucia's goal is a lost city called Asgard. Even a descendant of a demon god like him yearns for it. Asgard must be hiding some great secret … I wonder if it has found it yet."
And I wonder how that brat Grevus is doing … "
While he was thinking about irrelevant things, he suddenly heard a clear sound of footsteps on the smooth floor. It was the sound of glass hitting the floor.
Angor looked up and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark mist in front of him.
It was a very beautiful woman.
She was wearing a purple-black slim-fit chiffon dress. Not only was the dress well-shaped, it also showed off her impressive figure. Coupled with the flickering light on her clothes, she looked like a goddess of the night, walking leisurely in a starry sky gauze dress.
Her long, curly black hair cascaded over her smooth shoulders. She looked both lazy and elegant.
It was hard to believe that a goddess like her would refer to herself as "old lady".
Yes, it was Sisya.
As soon as she saw the white Origin Fire, Sisya knew that she couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore. Angor knew a lot about the Origin Race. Besides, he also obtained the Origin Fire that the Origin Race yearned for.
Maybe Angor had been waiting for this moment from the very beginning.
Every word he said tugged at Cissy's train of thought.
He was smart, cunning, and wicked.
She didn't have a good impression of Angor until now. But since Angor offered her the Origin Fire, Sisya had to come out even if she didn't even have a soul left.
Not only was he doing this for himself, but he was also doing this for the Baiyuan Clan's … Sparkle.
