Chapter 155: Fallacious
I'm well aware of how difficult this is for all of Linzi, and there aren't many who are capable of participating." Jiang Wang gently cupped his hands together. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you,...For Qing Huo Gao Zhi's final decision, the burly Qing Huo Heng with a full beard didn't have any doubts.
Although his mood, was already very solemn.
Qinghuo, the esteemed leader, will personally oversee the defense of Wuzhi Grotto. This indicates that he believes the upcoming situation in Wuzhi Grotto may surpass Qinghuo Heng's capacity to handle it.
This is a terrifying guess!
What kind of danger will it be How terrifying will it be
Even if... even if the celebratory fireworks couldn't hold back
Once the star beast breaks through the defenses, the totem pool of the Qing Huo tribe will be drained forever.
In history, every tribe whose cave dwelling was conquered has been destroyed.
The consequences of a dried-up Totem Pool, any floating person can understand.

And those celestial beasts who bathe in the starlight of Tianchu are even more likely to become a disaster. The tribes whose grottos have been breached are also the sinners of Fulu.

For the various tribes of Fuluk, guarding the grottoes is always the top priority, above all else.

"I have to stay here." Jiang Wang said.
Qing Huo stared at him, waiting for his explanation.

"My swordsmanship needs honing, and this will give me more confidence in the game of life and death. Star beasts are a very suitable target." Jiang Wang weighed his options and chose this reason.
Jiang Wang's identity is that of a celestial being, a star general, and the chess master representing the Qihuo Department in the game of life and death. He does not belong to the Qihuo Department.
So even though the fire is burning brightly in the Qiang Huo department and they might have a lot of power, it's impossible for them to force Jiang Wang to do anything.
On the contrary, Qing Huobu would try their best to satisfy any of Jiang Wang's requests as long as they weren't too unreasonable.

Moreover, his help in guarding the grotto was also beneficial to the Qing Huo Department. Qing Huo Gao Chi himself had witnessed his abilities.
"I won't interfere with your decisions. But there is one thing, if you encounter irresistible danger, please retreat first."
Qihuo Gaochi said, “Make sure this goes well. The ranking in the game of Life and Death could be our opportunity. The safety of the Star Generals is paramount."
“Don’t worry, Chieftain,” Qing Huo Yuan Chen said. “Although my combat strength is not as strong as General Xingjiang’s, if I encounter an unavoidable danger, I will definitely stand in front.”

Jiang Wang naturally had no objections. Although he believed he didn't need protection. If he encountered danger that he couldn't resist, even filling in Qinghuo Yuanchen would be difficult to help.

At last, only Qing Huo Heng was left to leave the Wuzhi Cave. It seemed as if Qing Huo's descent into the cave was merely a way of shifting responsibilities between the two sides.
The tide of star beasts has temporarily subsided, but Celebration Fire burns brightly. Celebration Fire Balancer's arrangements remain unchanged. Two teams are still on standby, ready to battle at a moment's notice, while the rest are resting.

And he himself, sitting on a stone platform by the hole's edge, beckoned to Jiang Wang: "Come, celestial one, please sit."
>
Jiang Wang understood that the leader of the Qihuo tribe probably had something to say, so he sat down beside the stone platform.
"Does your world have a dark sky" Qing Huo gazed at the pitch-black night sky, his expression fervent, and suddenly asked.
"At least I have never seen it."

>They say Heaven is compassionate and that everything in the world has a reason. But what logic can be found in such a place as You Tian It's a place of calamity, the root of all misfortune for floating continents. The light from the heavens dims at night, showing us that even light cannot last forever. Yet You Tian remains perpetually dark. Could it be that there truly is everlasting darkness in this world
The fire crackled brightly. Qing Huo turned to Jiang Wang and asked, "You come from the world above the heavens. Can you enlighten me"
It is clear that even a warrior as formidable and resolute as him, sometimes feels lost.
Because guarding the Abyss was simply too arduous, too lengthy, and with no end in sight. Ordinary soldiers could rotate and rest, but beings like him and Qing Huaiheng were destined to face the Abyss for their entire lives.
Jiang Wang said frankly and without artifice, "I am just an ordinary cultivator. I am very unremarkable in our world. Perhaps there are people in our world who can solve your confusion, and perhaps one day I will be able to as well, but at least now, I am not capable of doing so."

What is your opinion on the inscription "Celebrating Fire"
"He felt sorry for him."
“A pity” Qing Huo watched the flames for a moment. “Indeed, he is a pity.”
As the flames raged, I asked, "Qing Huo, before leaping into You Tian, you were the last person to speak with him. Do you think this was a premeditated act"
Perhaps this is the real question he wanted to ask.
Jiang Wang shook his head: "When he communicated with me, he didn't show any signs of wanting to die. And his fear of the Netherworld was deeply ingrained, it wasn't feigned. Combining his last words, I think he was being manipulated by something."
"...Entice..."
The celebration fire blazed high, and then there was a moment of contemplative silence.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then he smiled wryly: "Although we only met briefly, he seemed to trust you very much. In the end, he only spoke to you."
“Because of his fear of the afterlife, he doesn't belong here.” Jiang Wang said: “He didn’t only have things to say to me. He said that only I was willing to listen to what he had to say.”

After a moment of silence, Qinghuo, with blazing eyes, clasped his hands together and recounted a tale from history.
The Jing Huo Department's shaman, from an unknown generation, had spent years researching the Netherworld. After much study, he devised a plan.
That is to say, it's about altering the Fire Totem and, based on that, creating the Shadow Totem.
Imagine that someone with the Yin Spirit Totem could contact the Nether Heavens, even... control the very essence of the Nether Heavens.
If one could control the essence of the ethereal heavens, perhaps celestial beasts would no longer be a problem.
This is undoubtedly a brilliant idea.
But creating the totem of the abyss, while it sounds feasible, is practically impossible.
All of the original totem patterns that exist today are said to have been left behind by the creator god "Kong."
How could humans possibly create such magnificent totem poles
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Throughout his life, the shaman was never able to fulfill his aspirations.
But perhaps the fear brought by the gloomy sky was too pervasive, this idea of an aerial palace remained unabandoned.
Through the ages, every shaman of the Ching Huo Department has striven for this goal, one after another dedicating their lives to it. One could say that they poured all their lifeblood into this endeavor. There was even a shaman who felt the depths of heaven with his own body, and as he touched them with his limbs, they were gradually dissolved. After experiencing this, he recounted his feelings and completed his final leap...
Thus, generation after generation continued the legacy. Finally, in the hands of the previous shaman, known as the strongest shaman of all time, Qing Hu Zhu Shu, "The Totem of the Depths" was initially completed.
The totem is ultimately intended to act upon the human body.
If there are such studies, then corresponding experimental subjects are also needed.
As a strong warrior within the tribe, Qing Huoqi Ming's grandfather highly approved of this plan and was willing to volunteer. But he was already old, and his Fire Totem had reached a very deep level of cultivation. Therefore, Qing Huoqi Ming's father became one of the test subjects from a young age.
In the long history, all those who underwent the test of "The Spirit Totem" have undoubtedly failed.
And the father of Qinghuo, his extraordinary talent and unusually close affinity with the "Jade Totem" made the witch doctor Qinghuozhu place high hopes on him.
For a better reception of the "Spectral Totem", all experimental subjects of the "Spectral Totem" are unaware of their true purpose. Disguised as ordinary people under the pretense of being special tribal forces, they lived normal lives before the final "experiment". The tribe also allowed them to be exempt from guarding the underground cave.
When he was five years old, his father's power reached a limit.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Thus, the shaman who celebrated firecrackers felt that the time was ripe. For the first time, he threw into the earth cave the father of those who celebrated firecrackers.
Three test subjects accompanied him.
The result is very unfortunate.
The other two were silently dissolved by You Tian.
And the father of the one who inscribed "Celebration of Fire" showed intense resistance after discovering his experimental subject's identity. Knowing that his so-called "special totem" was actually just a result of contact with the Netherworld, he used extremely violent means to abolish his own totem. He spent his life fleeing from the Underground City.
His grandfather, renowned for his valor in countless battles for the tribe, could not stomach his son's cowardice. In a fit of rage, he took his own life. He then turned his attention to raising his grandson.
From a young age, he was raised to be courageous by setting his father's "weakness" as an example.
Despite his old age, he goes into the earth cave every year to set an example for his grandchildren.
Even his final "accidental" death in battle was staged to inspire the remembrance of his name.
After the deaths of his father and grandfather, Qihuo Qiming was taken in by the shaman Qihu Zhu. Officially, it was as an adopted son, but in reality, he was kept under close watch and personally trained.
To commemorate the fire, it is the mark left by this generation of "the totem of the depths."
As the fire of his resentment grew, he indeed became a brave warrior, and filled with hatred for the Underground City, he challenged it countless times.
But humans are not grass or trees, who can be without feelings Over a long time together, Qing Hu Zhu Shu also gradually really regarded Qing Huo Chi Ming as his own child.
Under the immense inertia of history, he is still pushing forward with the concept of "The Totem of the Abyss." But growing concerns about the safety of those celebrating his legacy are emerging.
He even explicitly told Qihuo Gaichi that he didn't want Qihuo to tread the same path as those brave souls, to fade away in Youtian.
"The Totem of the Depths" is becoming more concrete, and the grand vision seems to be nearing its end. But Qing Huo Zhu Shu is beginning to reflect more and more on the rightness or wrongness of this vision, even questioning the meaning of so many generations of shamanistic efforts.
In subsequent research, no one knows what he discovered. The only thing that is known is that he resolutely began to completely deny the notion of "the Specter Totem."
He passed on the shamanic tradition to Qinghuo Qiming, marking his brow with the fire markings unique to the Fire Department Shamans. He refused to mention anything about "The Shadow Totem" and forbade anyone who knew the truth from mentioning it to Qinghuo Qiming.
Throughout his life, Qing Huo Chi Ming believed that the tattoo on his body was a secret, failed special fire tattoo. His power came through the shamanic fire pattern.
On the last trip down into the Undercave, Qing Hu Zhu Shu was supposed to take Qing Huo Ji Ming with him, but for some reason, he left Qing Huo Ji Ming outside the fortress and went down alone.
He sat at the entrance of the cave for three days and three nights, sleepless.
Tears of blood streamed down her eyes at last.
Only one sentence remains: "The primordial totem is not something that humans can create. To use one's limited power to vainly seek the ability to create the world, leading to the waste of life and injury to one's talent, is a fallacy!"
Then he leapt into the void.
No one knows what the famed strongest sorcerer of all ages, Keihou Zhusu, saw in his final moments. Perhaps this will remain an eternal mystery.
Nonsense!
>
Throughout the history of the Fire Celebration Department, countless generations have sacrificed and fought for it, one after another.
In the end, there was only this two-word evaluation.
How desperate!
History possesses a profound and weighty power.
After listening quietly to Qing Huo's passionate recounting, Jiang Wang had a general understanding of his feelings.
Just understanding doesn't mean agreeing, and comprehension doesn't equate to respect.

"So Do you want to revive that idea" Jiang Wang questioned. "So you watched as your clan ignored and scorned Qing Huo Qi Ming, watched him be ridiculed for his carefulness, all just to force him to confront the Earth Cave and restart the You Totem"
“As for my personal reputation, I may be a despicable person. But for the entire Qihuo tribe, I am willing to sacrifice everything, even my morals and honor. I have no regrets.”
Qing Huo's voice blazed, "He blames me and he has a right to. But I have no regrets about my choice."
"I'm not sure what Qihuo Jiming was truly thinking deep down, nor do I know if he ever harbored resentment towards you." Jiang Wang shook his head. "But there's one thing I know for certain: Qihuo Zhu Shu, who pushed the 'Yū Zhī Tǔtén' to its final stages, definitely understood Yutian better than you. Have you ever considered why he gave up"
"If you haven't even thought about this issue, or if you have thought about it but can't figure it out. If you don't even know why he gave up, or why he's so desperate! Where on earth do you get the courage to keep pushing forward with this"
His words left him speechless and astonished.
Of course, Jiang Wang had a sense of injustice toward the inscription commemorating Qiang Huo.

A fiery choice may not be wise, nor necessarily bright. But in his position, it seems almost inevitable.
“Aren't you afraid too The sudden, bizarre leap of Qing Huo Chi Ming into the ethereal sky, the star beasts resembling thousands of twinkling stars approaching and then receding—you realize you can't explain any of this. You discover that despite knowing so much, understanding so much, you still know nothing about the ethereal heavens, nothing at all about the 'Ethereal Totem'."
Jiang Wang asked again, “Actually, you are very afraid, aren’t you Everything seems to be out of control, and only now do you realize your own ignorance.”
"Yes, I do indeed fear this." Qing Huo Gao Chi did not deny.
He is a chieftain who cares too much about the strength of totems; a decision-maker who coldly calculates value and sends elders to the battlefield of life and death; a warrior who has spent half his life fighting against the abyss, always standing on the front line; he is someone who is willing to sacrifice others, but also someone who is willing to take responsibility.
He said, "So I decided to personally guard this place. I don't know what kind of changes will happen here. If the ending is good, the honor belongs to him. If the ending is bad, I will take responsibility for the mistakes."
"I hope it ends well," Jiang Wang said. "Although I don't agree with your choices, and although I think Qiheng probably doesn't need any more glory. But I still hope, it ends well."
