Chapter 1410: Chapter 1358–1359 Chapter 1410: Chapter 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.
This is the real reason why Fire Country has had so many Kings over the years, yet only a very few have actually ascended to a Divine Position. In other words, all but the few who ascended became sustenance on the Fire God's path of Cultivation.
No, it's not just the Fire God. Later, as Kings stepped out of the Fire God's grand scheme and became new Gods, they too transformed from the original Dragon Slayers into the very evil dragons they once fought, harvesting the newcomers.
This is the true reality of Fire Country, a truth that could not be spread openly.
When the King of Fire Country succeeds to the throne and truly takes control, the reality he discovers strikes terror into his heart, robbing him of peace and becoming a divine sword hanging over his head, as though ready to fall at any moment.
Faced with such a threat, the first instinct of the King of Fire Country is to flee, to escape this conspiracy and not become fodder for another.
But when he truly comes to his senses and calms down, he understands that he is already ensnared, with no place to flee to. From the moment he ascended to the throne of Fire Country or became a demigod of the Fire Tribe, he was under the watch of the Fire God.
Not wanting to die or become nourishment for the Fire God meant he had to resist, to struggle, to confront the Fire God.
At that critical life-or-death moment, the mindset of the King of Fire Country shifted, and all his wisdom and cunning were brought to bear.
As one of the Fire Tribe, basking in the protection of the Fire God and taking pride in bearing the Fire God's bloodline, he sought to follow in the footsteps of the Fire God, to glorify and expand the Fire Tribe.
But once he truly saw the reality, recognizing that the so-called glory was worthless, he ceased to revere the Fire God, who became instead his mortal enemy.
Having defeated many rivals to take the throne of Fire Country and possessing the strength of the Demi-God Realm, the King of Fire Country was extraordinary in both power and wisdom.
Especially when faced with the threat of death, the King's potential burst forth. He began searching for a way to save himself and overcome this dire threat.
Not only for himself but also heeding the secrets left by previous Kings who, having reached the pinnacle of human existence, would not submit to being manipulated or concededly become fish meat, even if the manipulator was one of their ancestors.
All these Kings of Fire Country had their own methods, and although the majority of them failed, their experiences were extremely valuable to him, providing multiple referential strategies.
By deploying his greatest wisdom and drawing from those experiences, he finally conceived an excellent plan: to use the Qi Luck of a whole race as a sacrifice, thus deceiving the Fire God and harnessing the power of Qi Luck for his own sustenance, accumulating the strength needed to step into the Gods' Realm.
Initially, he considered using the power of the Fire Tribe, for as King of Fire Country and Clan Leader of the largest lineage of the Fire Tribe on earth, he was suffused with an immense quantity of the Fire Tribe's Qi Luck, which was also greatly beneficial to his own Cultivation.
However, when he truly attempted it, he found that he only nominally owned this Qi Luck of the Fire Tribe; its true source was the Fire God. The moment he contemplated sacrificing Qi Luck, he would most certainly alert the Fire God, easily inviting suppression.
After searching far and wide, he finally found a suitable race: the human race.
While the human race was just one among many of the Mortal Clan, appearing quite ordinary with nothing seemingly special about them, the King of Fire Country noticed something: the populace of the human race was nearly double that of other clans.
Considering the prosperity of a race, the number of its people is undeniably a crucial benchmark. The humans, as one Mortal Clan, had a population that not only matched but in many cases surpassed that of many a God Clan, which undoubtedly highlighted their unique characteristic.
