Just as Lu Ban had witnessed,
the Pure Fire originated from an extreme emotion, only the deepest of emotions combined with the despair of an entire civilization could create such pure flames.
Similarly, to control the Pure Fire, one must possess equal despair and intense emotion.
The actions of the Great Shrine of Harmony Island, the fate of the Shrine Maidens—they were all nourishment for the Pure Fire.
They used pain to contain pain, despair to counter despair.
This was the true reflection of countless Foreign Domains.
As for the reason the Splendid Realm, unlike other tomb-like Foreign Domains, intervened in this region, it was because they saw the Pure Fire devour even the Ancient Overlords and thought it might be a solution to the troubles they faced.
Regrettably, after taking samples, the Splendid Realm discovered that the Ancient Overlords had not been devoured.
They merged with the Pure Fire, gaining a brand-new form.
