Several days later...
In the western region of the Central Prefecture, the Xi Lin Volcano Cluster.
The black mountains were all erupting volcanoes, one after another. Large swathes of red lava burst forth from the craters, falling to the sides and gliding down the mountain. As it slid, it slowly solidified, becoming part of the mountain itself.
At the largest of these volcanic craters.
Two figures, enveloped in a mix of black and red mist, slowly landed at the edge of the crater.
"Welcome the ancestor master back to the palace!"
A large group of various creatures lay prostrate on the ground, some even kneeling in mid-air, bowing toward the two figures.
Among these creatures were humans, pangolins, rabbit elves, fire lizards, and other strange members of the human race with dark red skin full of cracks.
The Fire God's Disciple burst into hearty laughter.
"Quickly prepare the feast, today I shall host a distinguished guest generously!"
"Yes!"
