Chapter 1514: Chapter 1513: Behind the Iron Gate, the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor’s Vision

Xu Zimei lowered the knife in his hand.

He asked, “If you speak nicely, we can spare you.

Otherwise, I’ll just tear down this door of yours.”

“If you want to know something, at least ask, so I can answer,” Tie Men replied helplessly.

“Who is the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor?” Xiao Anshan was the first to ask.

“Your Fire Tribe’s ancestor, and you’re asking me?”

Tie Men replied, “Back in the Origin Land, the oldest group of the Fire Tribe.

Among them was the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.”

“And what about you? What are you?” Shangguan Xian asked.

“The Four Symbols Fire Ancestor is dead, yet you live on?”

“Let me say it again, I am the Divine Gate, back then the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor used me to seal a realm.”

Tie Men replied, “I am not considered a living being.

Just a slumbering consciousness.

I co-exist with heaven and earth; if this world does not perish, neither will I.

Impressive, right.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei pondered for a moment.

Then asked, “And what’s behind you?”

“Noth… nothing,” Tie Men responded hurriedly.

“If there’s nothing, why are you nervous?” Xu Zimei asked.

This time, Tie Men fell silent.

“Do you want to test if your door is hard or if my knife is sharp enough,” Xu Zimei replied.

“We’re all civilized people here; fighting and killing isn’t good,” Tie Men quickly said.

“Behind this door is a world once imagined by the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.”

“Imagined?” Xiao Anshan and the others were taken aback.

“That’s right, as the first of the Fire Ancestors, the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor once envisioned the future of the Fire Tribe.

And the world they personally created.

Unfortunately, when it came time to implement it, the challenges were too great and ultimately it failed.”

Tie Men sighed, “This world might be his aspiration.”

“We want to see,” Xiao Anshan said.

“No,” Tie Men replied intensely.

“This world exists independently.

The reason it has been preserved until now is because of its sealing.

It is completely isolated from the outside world.

If you open the door and allow the outside space-time to interact with this world, it will likely disintegrate.”

“Do you think if we don’t look, this world can persist?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Why wouldn’t it?” Tie Men queried.

“Someone wants to seize the fire source here. Without it, the world you protect,

including yourself, may not be able to survive.”

“Didn’t you say you co-exist with this realm?

Let’s see if you’ll face death then.”

“That’s impossible,” Tie Men exclaimed in shock.

“The Fire Guardian Clan is here, and the Sun Palace would not allow the Origin Land to be destroyed.”

“Seems you know nothing,” Xu Zimei laughed.

“I’ve been asleep too long, so I’m unclear about outside matters,” Tie Men replied.

“But I don’t trust you, even if someone wants to steal the fire source, it would be you lot.”

“We indeed seized a fire source, but it wasn’t from here,” Xu Zimei shook his head.

This Origin Land has six fire sources.

In fact, he only needs one fire source, more would be unnecessary.

As Xu Zimei spoke, he took out the fire source.

In a transparent case, a faint blue flame burned slowly.

“You thieves,” Tie Men raged.

“You better worry about your own safety first,” Xu Zimei said.

“Have you thought it through?

Will you let us in or not?”

“Do I have a choice?” Tie Men responded helplessly.

If Xu Zimei and the others are determined to enter, Tie Men’s consent doesn’t really matter.

“Is there any opportunity here?” Xiao Anshan asked again.

Tie Men seemed reluctant to engage with the group any longer.

He simply said, “You should go in and see for yourselves.”

With a “boom,” explosive sounds emanated from around Tie Men.

An expanding circular ripple spread out in all directions.

Within this circle, thunderbolts burst forth.

Tie Men began to split apart gradually, as if opening another world.

The leap between spaces connected here.

With a “pop,” something split, and Tie Men was fully opened.

“Please, enter,” Tie Men said.

“Let’s go,” Xu Zimei led the way inside.

Once inside, the scene before them left everyone stunned.

Underfoot lay a vast red plain.

Of course, this red plain wasn’t grassland, but a collection of leaping red elves.

They looked up into the distance.

Green leaves adorned the towering trees, each large red tree thrived throughout the world.

Countless branches descended from the sky, shrouding innumerable trees within.

If one looked closely, these weren’t real trees, but rather the creations of fire spirits.

Beneath the giant trees, on the grassy ground.

Animals dashed about.

Rabbits leaped, deer roamed the woods.

Sparrows hovered in the void, eagles soared for thousands of miles.

Various animals were present.

But without exception, these weren’t real animals; they were but manifestations of fire spirits.

The group stood before this vast and magnificent realm, its grandeur and magnificence was imaginable.

“I think I understand the vision of the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor,” Xiao Anshan said.

“He wanted to create a world, a world shaped by the Fire Tribe.”

“Indeed, the fire spirits fashioned all things, the Fire Tribe as the true dominator of a world.”

Xu Zimei nodded, “It’s truly a grand vision.

It’s almost beyond a vision, more like a delusion.

Even the human race hasn’t achieved such a feat.”

“This world is fading,” Shangguan Xian suddenly sensed.

Since they entered, it felt like ink fell into a pool of water.

The clear water instantly began turning dark and murky.

The once fiery red world slowly dimmed, and everything turned to ash.

Fire trees perished, fire grass withered, the bodies of all fire spirit animals lay on the earth.

Amidst chaos, the tide of corpses piled high.

This world was dying, proving that Tie Men hadn’t deceived them.

Once the outside world interacted with this place, the world truly headed towards destruction.

Before this, the time and space of this world were frozen, even life was at a standstill.

Thus, everything here remained preserved for thousands of years.

The group sighed.

Such a scene, rare across ages, only existed in imagination, now disappearing before their eyes, was truly regrettable.

“Let’s go further,” Xu Zimei said.

He thought these predecessors of the Fire Tribe were largely madmen.

How could they have such notions?

This was something even Heaven couldn’t tolerate.

Why is Heaven so powerful? Because it’s the god of creation, the creator of all things.

Space-time, Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the primordial Chaos of Origin.

All living in this world are but part of it.
