Chapter 42: Rapid Upgrades!
--- Chapter 41 ---
[Ding! Congrattions, host!]
[You have obtained 1x Geocentric Lotus me''s Progeny, A Wisp of Tou She''s Energy, and 2x Pure Lotus Enlightenment Pill]
[Name: Geocentric Lotus me''s Progeny]
[Type: Heavenly me]
[Grade: A++]
[Description: A small lotus me left behind by the mature Green Lotus Core me. It was "originally." meant to be grown for the next thousand years and be a new Core me. However, someone forcibly split the Green Lotus Core me and made the small lotus fail to develop]
[Lack of Fire Dou Qi when the "splitting process." caused the Small Lotus me to be weaker than some beast me but still contained the purity of Green Lotus Core me]
[Name: A Wisp of Tou She''s Energy]
[Type: Energy''s Remnants/Consumable]
[Grade: S]
[Description: Energy Left behind by Tou She Ancient God, A Living me that ascends over mortality. Even though the energy is thin and barely usable for Dou Emperor or above, it could help the host''s cultivation grow intensely]
[It also could help the host toprehend the "Concept of Fire." and raise Pyrokinesis''s grade]
[Name: Pure Lotus Enlightenment Pill]
[Type: Consumable]
[Grade: S-]
[Description: Created from the purest Fire Dou Qi under the earth, Pure Lotus Enlightenment Pill is the earth''s core spirit. It holds 10.000 years worth of Fire Dou Qi, so consuming it could increase one''s affinity and energy toward Fire Element]
"GADH DAYUUUM!" Baek Ain couldn''t help but shout when seeing his rewards. The value of these rewards is mouth-watering for his current cultivation.
Even though Baek Ain''s cultivation developed steadily in the past two months, it''s nothingpared to when he started. Yes, It started to be slow and stagnant recently.
And the Record of the Burning World hasn''t shown a significant increase in mastery. He is "actually." still stuck in the 2nd Stage of Record of the Burning World, which is just the foundationyer.
3rd Stage is where Baek Ain could use "Burning Sun Rupture." a profound skill that erupts Golden Crow''s me, obliterating everything into ashes.
With these rewards, Baek Ain could probably break into 3rd Stage.
After thinking about something for a few minutes, Baek Ain requested his system to do something, "Alicia, estimate how long it would take me to absorb all these rewards."
[Will do, host]
[Estimating host''s absorption mastery and physique...]
[Less than a week, or roughly six days]
Baek Ain nodded because his calction wasn''t far off. He summoned Gnome and told the beast me to convey his message to others because he wouldn''te out for six days.
The tiny brownish-golden fire person floated out of the blue magma field and approached Baek Ain''spanions, telling them through a rough sketch on the rock.
Well, Gnome melted the rock with its small hand, to be precise.
"Master."
"Training."
"Six days?"
Lan Rou read the characters out loud and mumbled, "Does that mean Ain gonna stay under there for six days?"
"Wu!" Gnome nodded, waving its hand and disappearing into the magma.
Hai Bodong''s mouth twitched in disbelief as he questioned, "Is he going to be okay?"
Lan Rou nodded and answered, "Don''t worry, Ice Emperor."
"If Ain is carefree enough to send a message like this. He shouldn''t be in trouble there. And just like Gnome conveyed, we only have to wait for six days."
"Are you perhaps worried, Ice Emperor?" She returned with a smile.
"Me? Worried. Bwahaha." Hai Bodongughed loudly.
"That brat could die, so my niece doesn''t have to marry his decent-ass face."
"Lady Fei will be sad if she heard this, you know?" Lan Rou shrugged, knowing Yafei would p the Ice Emperor to extinction if something horrible happened to Baek Ain.
''Fuck...'' Hai Bodong cursed in his mind.
"Don''t Die, BRAT!"
...
...
[The host may absorb Geocentric Lotus me''s Progeny and is "strictly." advised to do it carefully because it''s still a young Heavenly me that you were dealing with]
"Noted." Baek Ain sat on the Green-Colored Lotus tform and stared at Geocentric Lotus me''s Progeny, a small lotus-shaped me with intense warmth.
As Gnome returned to his side, Baek Ain told the beast me to swallow this young Heavenly me and be stronger again. "Let''s see how you evolve this time, Gnome." He chuckled while rubbing the brownish-golden fire''s head.
"Wu!" Gnome reacted excitedly, shaking its small body left and right.
"Well, let''s begin, shall we?"
Baek Ain closed his eyes and began to recite the Record of Burning World in his head. Since he wanted to break through into the 3rd Stage, he used his understanding of fire elements.
"Oh, wait." He opened his eyes. "Alicia, can you do auto Sign-In to this ce for the next six days?"
"I almost forgot, haha."
[Okay]
[Good luck, host]
"Thank you, Alicia."
Baek Ain isn''t a genius by any means. He literally graduated out of a random degree he chose in university.
However, he isn''t dumb, either.
"Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process ofbustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. And at a certain point in thebustion reaction, called the ignition point, mes are "directly." produced. The me is the visible portion of the fire."
"That''s what I know from a modern perspective..."
"Yet, Living here, I realized..."
"Fire could result in death, more brutal than in the Modern Era. People die every day because of it."
"Also... Fire also could treat lives, giving people warmth in the cold night."
"I don''t want to use these terms because it sounds cringe, but fire is the evolution of Yin and Yang Energies. The negative and positive."
"The essence of burning heat was the movement produced by the energiesing from yin(electron) and yang(proton) particles. The faster these particles moved, the higher the temperature would be. When the speed of these particles reached the limit, so would their temperature."
"After burning heat, there is Annihtion and Creation."
"Annihtion is the manifestation of fire''s strength to destroy all and to burn away all of existence ."
"Creation is the manifestation of fire''s blessing to create and cherish everything in the beginning, like stars and human life."
"Both are sides of the same coin."
"And finally, Manifestation... Energy would have life and intelligence of its own. Then fire should be represented by something. Creatures such as Phoenix, or perhaps Vermillion Bird."
"No... It''s the Golden Crow."
Baek Ain didn''t realize this, but his body ignited in a golden fire. A massive silhouette of Golden Crow slowly manifested and covered his body like a nket with its wings.
His Dou Qi seems excited under this unadulterated warmth.
His body is brimming with energy.
And six dayster.

On the surface, Baek Ain''s group has been waiting for him.
They noticed an unusual bubble in the magma, and the tunnel shook violently.
"Hmm?" Hai Bodong raised his brows.
BOOM!
A golden pir of fire erupted from the dept of magma, destroying the ceiling. A tall yet familiar young man appeared before them, floating with wings coated with intense purple lightning.
"I''m back." Baek Ain smiled at them.
