Chapter 1719
Huo Tian replied, "We really miss our home, and even though we don't know what remains of it, we're sure that even though the Seven Divine Falan Beads couldn't completely stop that planet, the Falan World definitely still exists. We want to return to our home, to the Crimson Lava Sea. You possess a transcendent divine weapon, so that means there's a very good chance that you'll become a god in the future, and if you do, you'll be able to travel through space as you please. Perhaps you'll discover our Falan World someday, and if that does happen, we implore you to contact our brethren there so they can find a way to bring us back."It is our greatest wish to return to our home. Even if I won't live to see that day, I hope my brethren can return to the Falan World."
"Alright, I can do that. If I become a god someday, I'll do my best to find the Falan World and inform your brethren of your situation. However, I have no idea whether I'll actually be able to become a god. Of course, that is my goal," Tang Wulin replied without any hesitation.
He was not only going to search for the Falan World, but also to search for the Douluo Continent's missing Divine Realm and his parents!
Huo Tian seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and all of the Dawn Fire beings extended slight bows toward Tang Wulin in unison.
All of a sudden, Huo Tian raised a hand, and a streak of red light was sent flying toward Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin caught the object and immediately felt a burst of heat in his palm.
He looked down to find an octagonal ruby, within which golden liquid seemed to be flowing.
"This is a token of our race. If you really do find the Falan World, then please take this token to my brethren; they'll understand everything once they see it."
"Alright." Tang Wulin carefully stowed the ruby away.
Huo Tian continued, "I'll also give you something as compensation."
Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask, "Do you have that much trust in me? Even if I'm willing to help you, there's no guarantee that I'll be able to become a god, and even if I do become a god, I may not be able to find your home, so I can't accept any compensation from you."
Huo Tian sighed, "You are the greatest hope that we have. Also, us Dawn Fire beings possess Golden Flame Eyes, so we can see directly into someone's heart, and I can tell that you're genuinely agreeing to help us. That alone is enough for you to be worthy of this gift, so please accept it."
Huo Tian raised its hand again as it spoke, releasing a small flame on this occasion. As the flame flew toward Tang Wulin, the entire surrounding sea of lava seemed to suddenly dim slightly, as if it were pledging subordination to the flame.
It was very difficult to describe the color of the flame; it was near-transparent, and its color seemed to be constantly changing.
The body of the flame was of a scorching white color, but there seemed to be seven colors that were constantly transitioning within the flame.
Tang Wulin reflexively opened his palm to allow the flame to land onto his hand, and he was immediately struck by a burst of stinging pain in his palm.
He was then surprised to discover that the flame had branded itself onto the center of his right palm like a tattoo.
This was a lotus flower with a white base, but it had seven petals, each of which was a color of the rainbow.
"This is the bonded true flame of our Dawn Fire Race, and only the nobility with the purest of bloodlines possess it. I was supposed to be the heir to the chieftain, but that's all in the past now. This is a part of my bonded true flame, and I'm giving it to you. If you find my brethren, you'll be able to further gain their trust by showing them this flame. In conjunction with the token that I gave you, the two will be enough for my brethren to figure out who I am. You can also release my bonded true flame by using the power of your world, and it has the ability to incinerate all things, but it'll be extremely taxing to use.
"The flame is known as the Rainbow Lotus Flame, and even beings on par with Great Goblins wouldn't dare come into contact with it; I hope it can be of assistance to you."
The stinging pain on Tang Wulin's hand had already faded, and if it weren't for the "tattoo" at the center of his palm, it would've been as if nothing had ever happened.
However, he could clearly sense a peculiar type of energy within his palm.
"Thank you, I'll be sure to do my best," Tang Wulin said.
Actions spoke louder than words, and Huo Tian could see into his heart anyway, so he didn't need to say anything further.
Huo Tian waved a hand through the air, and its brethren immediately parted around it while actively repressing the scorching heat within the area.
Huo Tian then made an inviting hand gesture, "Us Dawn Fire beings have very long lifespans; I hope to be able to receive some good news from you while I'm still alive."
"I share the same hope," Tang Wulin replied with a genuine nod.
A meaningful look suddenly appeared in Huo Tian's eyes, and it said, "Indeed, you do; I can sense that you also have someone you need to find."
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. Huo Tian really did seem to possess some type of special ability that allowed it to glean the inner world of others.
Thus, everyone rose up into the air and still maintained their formation as they flew deeper into the sea of lava.
Even though they had already formed an agreement with the Dawn Fire beings, this was still a world of lava, and any lapse in judgment could result in life-threatening danger. Thus, the formation was carefully maintained, and Tang Wulin didn't even stow his golden trident away.
As expected, if it hadn't been for these special circumstances, it would not have been an easy task to cross the 17th level of the Battle God Hall.
The sea of lava wasn't very large, and after rounding a corner, they finally caught sight of a dark passageway in the distance.
The passageway undoubtedly led to the 18th level, and it was very likely to be the place where Eternal Heaven was being stored.
At this point, everyone's mood had changed slightly. In particular, Ling Zichen was brimming with excitement.
There was no one more interested in godslayer missiles than she was, and it was her greatest wish in life to be able to obtain or even witness this paramount masterpiece of soul technology. She had countless questions that she wished to seek answers for by studying Eternal Heaven.
One had to realize that this godslayer missile hadn't just been developed by one or two scientists; it had been created by the most brilliant scientists across several generations! If a scientist of her caliber could study Eternal Heaven, then perhaps she could derive some inspiration that would further her research, and that was what she desired the most.
Everyone landed on the ground, and the Sea God's Trident had kept the heat at bay, so they were still in peak condition.
Tang Wulin turned around and bade farewell to Huo Tian, then quickly led everyone into the passageway to the 18th level.
Everyone had become quite nervous as an involuntary reaction. They were about to arrive at their destination, and even if they could find Eternal Heaven, it won't be an easy task to take it out of the Battle God Hall. According to their plan, they were going to capture Eternal Heaven as quickly as possible after finding it, then use it as a threat to force the Battle God Hall into allowing them to leave.
