"You both came from the outer-region. Do you know of a massive beast of incomparable size? Why can't I kill it no matter what?"

After a long moment, it was Flarite who spoke first. What mattered most to him was that huge beast – the most fearsome one he ever saw. Merlin and Setoh came from the outer-region and should know about the huge beast.

"Massive beast?"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged a glance, then blurted out, "Could it be that Slothful Beast?"

Back in the Void Zone, they had encountered a Slothful Beast and the strange sea of fire. In the end, that sea of fire had sucked in the Slothful Beast, along with Merlin and Setoh.

"You know that huge beast?"

Flarite's eyes brightened. At the moment, that giant beast was giving him the biggest headache. Although it looked docile, who knew how it might change in the future? If it was not in the desert but instead came to the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation, those two nations would have been wrecked by that creature long ago.

Thus, Flarite wanted to resolve the threat of the huge beast.

Merlin considered for a moment. "Whether it's the Slothful Beast or not, we can't tell. We'll have to take a look before confirming this!"

Although Merlin and Setoh felt that this huge beast was the Slothful Beast, they had to see it to be sure.

"Of course you need to take a look first! How about this – you wish to leave the Flare Region world, right? If you come and take a look at this beast and say whether it's this Slothful Beast you've mentioned, we'll tell you how to leave the Flare Region world. What do you think?"

Flarite spoke evenly. He was not like the people of the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation. He had a certain degree of understanding about the Void Zone.

"We don't have any choice right now. However, we must be cautious around Flarite!"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged looks, both wary about Flarite. In such an unusual, peculiar world, they had met such a formidable existence. It was too astonishing.

"Good, let's hurry there as fast as we can!"

With that, Flarite led Merlin and Setoh, swiftly flying into the distance.

…

Among the billowing yellow sand of the vast desert, four figures were quickly approaching, standing in mid-air. Merlin and Setoh could spot, in the distance, a colossal creature of unprecedented size. It was crawling along languidly, paying no mind to the terrifying temperature at all.

"A Slothful Beast, it really is a Slothful Beast!"

At first glance, Merlin and Setoh knew that this massive beast was a monster of the Void Zone, rarely seen but very peculiar – the Slothful Beast!

Back then, that sea of fire had absorbed the Slothful Beast into the Flare Region world. After seeing this Slothful Beast, Merlin and Setoh heaved a small sigh of relief. With this Slothful Beast, it was likely that Flarite would not attack them so easily, for there was no one who understood the Slothful Beast more than them.

They were well acquainted with the toughness of the Slothful Beast. Flarite must have learned this as well or he would not be so helpless.

"Both of you, is this the Slothful Beast you spoke of?"

Flarite asked again.

"That's right, this is the Slothful Beast we know. It's relatively gentle by nature. Usually, it won't get angry over any attack. Of course, there aren't many forces that could injure them."

Setoh explained calmly. He knew that Flarite was surely at his wit's end with this Slothful Beast. It was not just Flarite for even the three Great Arcane Wizards could do nothing to the Slothful Beast.

Upon hearing this, Flarite's face relaxed slightly but there was still a trace of anxiety. "So, what do I do to kill this Slothful Beast?"

Even though Merlin and Setoh said that this Slothful Beast had a meek temperament, no matter how meek it was, the Slothful Beast was too massive that it was still a threat. The mere possibility that it might leave the desert and move around as it pleased would cause countless fatalities. Therefore, if the Slothful Beast stayed in the Flare Region world, it was a risk factor.

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped, and he said with a smile, "It's practically impossible to kill the Slothful Beast, so you can only banish it from the Flare Region world. Surely, as master of the sacred land, you're not oblivious to the fact that the Flare Region world is merely one dimension?"

After he had spoken, Merlin and Setoh glowered steadily at Flarite. Flarite, who was the master of the sacred land, must know that the Flare Region world was just one dimension, surrounded by the boundless Void Zone outside.

"Dimension?"

In response, Flarite shook his head with a bitter smile. "You don't know the actual situation of the Flare Region world. Although I know that there's a vast universe beyond the Flare Region world called the Void Zone, I have no way to leave this Flare Region world!"

"What? No way to leave the Flare Region world? How is that possible?"

Merlin and Setoh had seen with their own eyes that terrifying sea of fire that could directly swallow even a Slothful Beast. They were swept in as well, discovering that the space here was incomparably solid. By relying on themselves, they would not know how to leave the Flare Region world, so they thought about looking for the sacred land.

However, they had never expected that even the master of the sacred land was unable to leave the Flare Region world. In most dimensions, as long as one was a Legend, one could easily leave the dimension.

"Both of you, follow me to the sacred land. I'll explain everything to you. Since it's the first time you've arrived at the Flare Region world, there are many things you don't know. Let's go to the sacred land. You'll understand everything then."

After being offered this invitation by Flarite, Merlin and Wizard Setoh considered the matter briefly. Currently, they had no other way, and could only nod and follow behind Flarite, flying toward the sacred land.

Soon, they saw a continuous stretch of a mountain range. It looked just like raging, roaring flames. The temperature here seemed to be even higher.

Amid the mountain range, there was a temple that emanated a mystical force. This must be the sacred land which Flarite spoke of.

"Both of you, please come in. It's the first time the sacred land is receiving visitors from the outer-region!"

Flarite said with a smile. Merlin had already used his Mind Power to examine the condition of the sacred land. He saw that there were only three people here. Other than the two individuals before them, there was also a woman.

Both of them followed Flarite into the sacred land. The scorching heat outside was unparalleled but it was cooler in the sacred land. However, when they entered the main foyer, Merlin and Setoh were attracted to a statue.

The statue was shrouded in flames as if it was born from the fire. Even though it was merely a statue, it was brimming with a powerful force.

"This is the noble existence who had created the Flare Region world – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Flarite looked toward this statue with an expression filled with reverence.

"Flare Emperor? There's an ultimate existence like him in the Void Zone?"

Wizard Setoh naturally knew that an ordinary ultimate existence would be incapable of creating such a dimension. At the very least, he and the other two Arcane Wizards would be unable to create a dimension like this which cut off most of the natural order's power.

In addition, Wizard Setoh did not know since when the Void Zone had an ultimate existence like the Flare Emperor.

Setoh was unclear about this but Merlin was flabbergasted. Ever since he had entered the purple dimension and learned about the Void Zone's secrets from countless years ago, he knew that the Void Zone once had the Thirty-six Emperors. They truly stood at the peak, and in the infinite Void Zone, there was no one mightier than them.

To be called an "Emperor", this must be one of the Thirty-six Emperors!

"The Flare Emperor – could he be one of the Thirty-six Emperors?"

Although Merlin had guessed as much, he still asked softly.

"Hmm? You know about the Thirty-six Emperors? That's right, the creator of our sacred land and the entire Flare Region world is one of the Thirty-six Emperors – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Upon hearing that Merlin knew about the Thirty-six Emperors, Flarite's wariness seemed to evaporate significantly.

Wizard Setoh knitted his brow. As an ultimate existence, he had never heard of these Thirty-six Emperors, so he asked Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, you've never mentioned these Thirty-six Emperors before?"

After some careful thought, Merlin finally decided to tell Arcane Wizard Setoh about the Thirty-six Emperors and the Vestigial Tribe. This was the Void Zone's greatest secret. It happened too long ago, to the point that even ultimate existences had never heard of the legends regarding the Thirty-six Emperors.
