She wasn't sure where he got it from, but Jin Bao'er technically counted as one, right? Even though she was only a scholar for a few days before she released the spirits trapped in the academy, stole books from the library, and finally incited conflict between the divine envoy and Blue Star...
After a slight shock, her face turned cold as she thought blankly!
The old man thought he had guessed correctly and his face showed a bit more kindness.
"Did you come here after reading the picture book in the library? After so many years, finally, a child believes the content of that book? Haha, good, good..."
Jin Bao'er's heart moved slightly, and she instantly grasped the meaning of his words. This picture book might have been written by this old man himself. He was from Blue Star and knew that the nemesis of Red Iron was the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire, so it wasn't surprising!
In the next few minutes, the old man indeed explained the reason...
He was the first dean of the Talent Academy on Blue Star. He was greatly shocked after discovering the Myriad Year Red Iron on Iron Star, especially its robust defense. It could indeed be called the hardest substance in the universe!
For this reason, he researched tirelessly and finally found the only method to smelt the Myriad Year Red Iron. After traversing the universe and expending endless years, he found this place...
The first time, he was in grave danger and, after immense hardship, obtained the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire, but that wisp of flame was not enough! So he came a second time...
And this time, the guardian spirit directly smashed him into the ice layer, where he slowly died in the cold!
However, obtaining the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire and bringing it back to Blue Star became his obsession... He dreamed of creating the strongest weapons for Blue Star! The Myriad Year Red Iron was called Myriad Year, but no one knew how many years it had actually been there...
If such a treasure were forged into weapons, Blue Star would become the most powerful race in the entire universe! Even the divine race would have to be wary!
After listening, her expression remained calm. Although it sounded like he was quite selfless, it didn't change the fact that he was the one who brought the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire back, only for those people to forge it into chains to trap Dragon Li Star!
Moreover, the other party had just used some unknown method to lure her here...
That's right, she was almost certain that the intense feeling just now was interfered with by someone! The other party was probably impatient to have her come over! And now, they couldn't move her. Unless she was a bleeding heart, she would never pity this old man!
Seeing her expression, the old man frowned slightly. But after all, he was the first person he had met in so many years, and she was a student of the Talent Academy, so he had to accept his fate!
Then his expression became suddenly solemn...
"And now, this mission falls upon you. The scroll on the ground records how to use the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire to forge a divine sword! If successful, the holder will dominate the divine race! And you... are that person!"
Saying this, the old man's eyes grew more fervent! Excited! As if he had already seen that scene!
Jin Bao'er wanted to refuse, but suddenly she thought of something and her eyes lit up. She looked at the scroll on the ground, and a bold idea appeared in her mind...
She remembered that Dragon Li Star didn't seem to have a suitable weapon yet!
It was better to benefit her own people than outsiders! She wasn't a good person, so why should she help Blue Star dominate the divine race?
After the old man finished speaking, he stared at her intently. Sensing her approving attitude, he finally breathed a sigh of relief! And he removed the restraints on her...
"Don't be angry either, I was just too eager for someone like this to appear..."
"Child, go forward in this direction. A hundred kilometers away is the storage location of the Myriad Ancient Skyflow Fire! And another hundred meters ahead is the territory of the guardian beast. Be careful..."
Jin Bao'er nodded. The existence of this guardian beast was very important. She hadn't expected there to be living beings capable of surviving in such a place! This guardian beast must have extraordinary strength!
The old man smiled with relief.
"I'm about to disappear too, and I probably won't see that day, but I can feel that you have strong talent. Blue Star... will surely be crowned king!"
As he spoke, his face gradually blurred...
When Jin Bao'er recovered, she quickly retreated! Her eyes fixed on him, and the frozen corpse in front of her remained in the same posture, without the slightest change, clearly indicating that everything she had just seen was under the influence of some power.
Thinking this through, she picked up the scroll from the ground, her gaze complex and helpless.
She wanted to say that with beings like the Star Lord, the Dean, and Blue Lotus on Blue Star, wanting to be an uncrowned king was simply a pipe dream!
Moreover, the universe now should be different from what he remembered! The divine race had sealed themselves in the divine palace, and the entire universe was facing spiritual energy depletion. Who had the time to bother with forging divine swords!
But she remembered that Dragon Li Star had some proficiency in refining artifacts...
She turned to leave. But from the perspective of the little spirit and the black iron ball, it looked like she suddenly retreated, her face full of vigilance, then turned back to pick up the scroll, and then left.
As her figure gradually moved away, the old man frozen in place instantly rotted, his facial skin and clothes turning into mud-like substances within seconds...
The semi-divine body possessed a long lifespan. Even if it wasn't immortal like the divine race, it was still a noble status second only to the divine race in the universe!
But even so, death would still come! After death, there was no reincarnation, and the soul would completely dissipate! The remaining power would be absorbed by heaven and earth, returning to all things...
This was also one of the reasons why Blue Star's Star Lord and some powerful individuals were so eager to find the Saintess and restart the divine palace...
Without the divine palace, they, with their semi-divine bodies, would be the first lives to "disappear"! At that time, no matter how powerful they were, no matter how high their status... they would become weak, even die!
At this moment, with the help of the diamond iron ball, Jin Bao'er had arrived at the guardian beast's territory. Although it was under the ice layer, no one knew the strength of the guardian beast. But a creature that could smash such a person into the ice layer and cause their death, she wouldn't naively think the guardian beast was weak...
Therefore, she reinforced the barrier and concealed her aura, letting the black iron ball move forward...
However, even though the sound was small and the movement was not significant, it still attracted the guardian beast's attention!
Jin Bao'er was already vigilant of her surroundings. The moment she sensed a certain power rapidly approaching, she immediately ordered the iron ball to stop, and fiercely looked up at the ice layer on the right!
There was no sign of anything unusual, yet an invisible sense of dread instantly crept onto her heart! Almost subconsciously, she tensed her body, held her breath, and released her divine sense as much as possible. Even though the fine, cold sting caused her head to ache, she didn't stop probing with her divine sense...
This feeling lasted for ten seconds before the aura suddenly disappeared! The sense of crisis vanished, but she furrowed her brows, her face suddenly turned deathly pale, and a cold chill ran down her spine.
