I wasn't in a hurry. I stood there and looked around.
The last time I was in the Fire God Temple, I had searched for the fatty's father's whereabouts. I went to almost all the places I could go, but I didn't see the Silver-eyed person, nor did I see the scarlet Fire God Throne.
This time, I saw the throne the moment I entered. Even though the Silver-eyed person hadn't appeared, I believed that he wasn't far away.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the surroundings. I jumped onto the platform and walked towards the scarlet throne.
Based on my conjecture, the half human half beast statue and the Silver-eyed person in the Shang Dynasty's Sacrifice Hall were both from my previous life. The two of them were more or less the same. From this, it could be seen that the scarlet throne was mine.
When I had just entered the Spring Sacrifice Hall, the scene of me sitting on a high place and accepting the blood sacrifice of everyone appeared in my mind.
If that was the memory of my previous life, it was highly possible that it was triggered by the throne I was sitting on.
Thus, I didn't hesitate and walked to the front of the throne, preparing to sit on it first.
When I reached the front, I extended my hand to touch the scarlet patterns on it. In the end, when my hand touched the throne, I felt an intense burning sensation. I instinctively retracted my hand.
With my current cultivation, the toughness of my physical body had already reached an extremely high level. However, when I raised my hand to take a look, the skin on my palm that had just touched the chair had already been burned to the point of wrinkling, forming an ugly scar. It looked similar to the patterns on the Blazing Stones that the Metaphysics Association had given me.
My heart moved, and I tried to use the Dao Qi in my body to sense it. As expected, the chair was emitting an intense aura of fire. It was even more intense than the aura on the stone tablet that was made of Blazing Stones.
I could almost confirm that the material of the chair was definitely Blazing Stones. Furthermore, the power of fire contained within was even stronger. It was highly possible that the aura of fire that filled the entire Fire God Temple came from this chair.
Currently, I had already reached the later stages of Glorious Memory and didn't have much need for Blazing Stones. However, even the wealthiest person in the world would inevitably feel greed when they saw a pair of gold pieces in front of them.
I was no exception. Looking at this gigantic chair, I couldn't help but think that if I took the entire chair out and cut the Blazing Stone on it into small pieces, it would be easy to gather a faction in the Metaphysics world.
It was a pity that these obsidian stones were of the fire element. If all five elements were present, I might be able to use these obsidian stones to let my Dao Qi reach Glory of Knowledge.
Although Obsidian Stones could be traded in the Metaphysics world, it was only a sporadic transaction. With so many Obsidian Stones being traded at the same time, even if Mount Longhu and the Metaphysics Association worked together, it would still be difficult to complete the transaction.
As I thought of this, my greedy thoughts disappeared. I retracted my gaze from the chair and prepared to sit on it.
However, just as I turned around, my gaze froze. I finally saw the silver-eyed man.
He was standing not far behind me, looking at me with a burning gaze. The expression on his face looked very strange.
I wasn't too surprised, but I stopped myself from sitting down and looked into his eyes.
After a few seconds, the silver-eyed man finally spoke. The content was exactly the same as the previous time. He asked softly, "You're here?"
This time, I didn't panic. I just nodded and replied in a deep voice, "That's right, I'm here."
As I replied, I was slightly bewildered.
According to my conjecture, the statue in the Spring Sacrifice Hall and this silver-eyed man were from my previous life. However, at least one side of the statue's body looked exactly the same as me. However, the stone man in front of me looked completely different from me.
Actually, I had my suspicions for a long time, but previously, I thought that it was because I didn't see the appearance of the silver-eyed stone man clearly when I first came here. However, it seemed that it wasn't the case.
Just as I was pondering over this question, the silver-eyed stone man suddenly grinned after hearing my reply. A joyful smile swiftly filled his face.
However, his smile made me feel that something was wrong.
The previous time I came here, I saw that the silver-eyed man's body was made of a stone-like material. That was why I initially thought that he was a statue. However, this time, when he grinned, there wasn't a trace of stiffness on his face. He looked just like a living person.
Originally, I thought that this silver-eyed stone man was most likely a human-shaped magic tool that was created using an ancient Daoist secret technique. It was similar to a Daoist puppet.
However, I suddenly realized that this silver-eyed man … was most likely a living person!
If it was as I had guessed, that he was Shang Qi, the ancestor of the Shang Family, wouldn't that mean that he had lived for thousands of years?
It was impossible for a human's lifespan to be that long. Even if one reached the Heavenly Master realm, it was impossible for one to transcend the shackles of aging, sickness, and death. At most, one's lifespan would be slightly longer than an ordinary person's. Only when one became a legendary Celestial and transcended the mortal world could one obtain true longevity.
Could it be that this Shang Qi was an Celestial?
However, if he was an Celestial, who was I?
It was impossible for a living person or an Celestial to reincarnate.
I remained silent. After the silver-eyed man finished laughing, he walked forward and stopped next to me. His eyes were still fixed on me, but his knees gave way and he knelt on the ground.
I was shocked. What did this mean?
The silver-eyed man's eyes slowly moved away from my face and his head slowly knelt on the ground. Then, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Emperor Dong said that the Sword Spirit isn't with him, but with my father."
Emperor Dong?
Sword Spirit?
Father?
Before I could react, the silver-eyed man lifted his head to look at me again. Then, he quickly knelt his head on the ground eight more times, making it nine times. Then, he stood up from the ground. Without another word, he turned and walked far away.
I couldn't react to his sudden action. It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the darkness that I anxiously shouted at him, "Who am I?
Who are you?
Are you Shang Qi? "
Hearing my voice, the silver-eyed man suddenly stopped. He turned and said to me, "I am Shang Qi … As for who my father is, my father knows … The chess game that has been going on for ten thousand years is only one step away. Take care, my father!"
Then, he didn't turn back and disappeared into the darkness ahead.
I was anxious. Just as I was about to chase after him and question him again, my vision suddenly darkened. The red light that filled the surroundings suddenly disappeared. Where was the silver-eyed man?
At this moment, a delicate voice sounded in my ear.
"Husband, you're back?"
The voice came from behind me. I quickly turned around. I didn't know where the red chair that had been behind me had gone. I even realized that I wasn't standing on the red platform, but at the entrance of the Fire God Temple. Behind me was the main entrance with the words' Fire God Temple 'hanging on it.
Bi 'an was standing at the door, smiling at me. Her red wedding dress looked exceptionally bright in the dim environment.
I was stunned. I clearly remembered that I had already walked into the Fire God Temple. I had even jumped onto the red platform and stood next to the red chair. But now, why was I suddenly at the entrance?
Could it be that the silver-eyed man's appearance and our conversation had been a dream, just like what had happened in the sacrificial ceremony?
I shook my head. I could clearly feel the dream in the sacrificial hall. Later on, I fainted and woke up after I opened my eyes. But now, I didn't even close my eyes during the whole process. How could it be a dream?
I didn't believe it. I couldn't be bothered to talk to Bi 'an. I jumped through the door and quickly searched around. In the end, I found the room that I had stayed in with Bi' an for a few days, but I didn't find the red platform or the red chair.
Bi 'an had already followed me here. I turned around and asked her anxiously, "When did you come?
Did you see the silver-eyed man?
Do you see that scarlet chair? "
