Chapter 375 – The Fire Origin (1/2)

Speaking until this point, the huge head roared furiously. The roar was like a thunderclap as it violently shook the sea of fire.

Fatty could imagine how this story must have ended: the Black Kirin got what it wanted and successfully advanced to the realm of Legendary, but didn’t help the huge head leave this space per their agreement. This could be understood, though. If such a powerful monster was to be released, there’d be no place for the Black Kirin and others to act all high and mighty.

“Human, help me out, and I shall give you benefits you can’t imagine.” When the roar finally ceased, the huge head stared at Fatty.

“Let's talk about the benefits first.” Fatty’s head spun with ideas as he began to consider what conditions he should make.

“I saved your life, isn't that enough?” Obviously, the huge head was a wise fellow who knew about bargaining.

“Of course not. You saving me was only the premise of our cooperation, just this alone is not enough to make me go to such lengths…”

After an intense tug of war between Fatty and the huge head, they sealed the deal with the huge head paying Fatty two essence sparks from the Fire Origin.

The Fire Origin was the origin where all fire was born, including the massive fire sphere and this huge head beast right here. No matter how hard the Divine experts competed for that sphere, the Source of Fire, in fact, was only the outer manifestation of the Fire Origin, and the Fire Origin resided in the very core of the Source of Fire, being only nine sparks.

One spark had given birth to this huge head, one had gone to the Black Kirin. During the time since the existence of the Fire Origin until now, three sparks had drifted out and turned into the massive sphere and the sea of fire. Now, there were only four left. After bargaining and coaxing, Fatty got one for himself and one for West. As for the remaining two, the huge head refused to give them out no matter what.

In addition to the Fire Origin, he also got to collect thousands of powerful Demonic flame monsters for his Crystal Maze of Terror, as well as about a million fire demonic nuclei.

Watching the huge head casually throwing out demonic nuclei, Fatty just wanted to faint. In the past, every nucleus or inner core required enormous hard work and care to kill a powerful monster, but now, a million of them just came so easily. Fatty’s inventory naturally couldn’t store this many nuclei, but he was fortunate to have on him the package that the Black Dragon King had given that allowed him to store a lot of things.

Fatty had no plan to throw these demonic nuclei to the Elemental Skill Book. He could use them to create powerful equipment and also exchange for a lot of gold coins.

In this trade, since the huge head had given Fatty so many benefits, he certainly should do something in return. Now all he needed was to find a chance to break the seal formation and give the huge head a chance to leave this place.

Ever since it had been born, the huge head was already in this space. It had no clue when the seal had appeared, only knew that the seal absorbed the energy of this whole space to block the entrance. Unless impacted by an external force, it would never stop. Meanwhile, all monsters in this place were fire-attribute and there was nothing they could do to impact the seal that also used fire energy, so they placed their hope in the outside world. This was the main reason why the huge head made a deal with Fatty.

“Those guys are no good, just like that Black Kirin. It's already kind of me not to eat them.” The huge head made a muffled sound and brought Fatty to sink into the bottom of the fire, sneaking into the Source of Fire.

Although the Source of Fire was only a kilometer wide, its internal space seemed endless, with four palm-sized white flames floating in the center.

“Is this the Fire Origin?” Fatty wanted to walk over for a closer look but was immediately rolled back by a tentacle.

“You want to die? This is not something you can approach!” the huge head anxiously scolded.

The huge head stopped when it was still a long distance away from the core. At this time, Fatty still hadn’t seen its whole body, only the big head was revealed. Its big mouth suddenly opened and spat out a thread of fire. As thick as a wrist and as nimble as a finger, the thread spun gently around a Fire Origin, grabbed and pulled it back.

Incredibly, sizzling sounds like ice melting in magma rang out as the huge head reached out a tentacle made of pure flame and made slight contact with the Fire Origin. When the tentacle finally returned with the Fire Origin, it had been melted by nearly 100 meters.

“Quick, how are you planning to take it?” The head asked Fatty. Promising him was one thing, but whether Fatty could take it away was another matter. As far as it could see, Fatty didn’t have this ability.

Seeing the smug smile which the huge head didn’t even try to hide, Fatty gave an indifferent smile and flipped his hand. The Elemental Skill Book appeared before him and volleyed through the air to catch the palm-sized Fire Origin.

With a sizzle, the Fire Origin disappeared. At the same time, a red light burst from the skill book, as blinding as a small sun, giving off intense light and heat.

“What is this?” The giant head was dumbstruck.

Fatty didn’t have time to answer the creature because, at the moment, he was dumbfounded by the changes in the Elemental Mystery Realm. Last time in the East Ocean Natural Barrier when Wu Junxiao had let the Elemental Skill Book devour the Water God’s Mystery Codex, it had only repaired the book with a little change in the Elemental Mystery Realm. But now, devouring the spark of Fire Origin immediately turned the realm upside down.

The ice element born from consuming the Ice Mystery Codex had been expelled to a corner and the fire element now reigned. Countless Demonic flame monsters – flame dragons, flame tigers, flame phoenixes, flame kirins… appeared out of thin air, all formed from pure fire energy.

A huge sun had emerged in the sky, with a small white flower faintly flickering inside it, this was the Source of Fire that had yet to settle completely. Hot light shone upon the entire realm, pushing the rest of the elements to the corner.

Boom! A fiery light burst out from the Elemental Skill Book. Just like the last sliver of darkness disappeared when the morning sun rose slowly, a fist-sized fiery red ball jumped up from the skill book like a fire elf cheering and jumping.

Ding.

System Notification: Congratulations. You have restored the Elemental Mystery Realm by 20%.

“Awesome!” Fatty was ecstatic. Every cloud indeed had a silver lining, giving him this chance to completely repair the fire system of the book. In this way, as long as he got the rest of the Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth Origins, the restoration would be complete.

The huge head couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. It had never been out of this space and therefore couldn’t imagine the powerful equipment outside. Seeing Fatty easily digest a Fire Origin, it didn’t hesitate to pull another one over.
