As the flames grew ever closer, their heat intensifying with each passing moment, Ye Heng paid no heed to her. Sitting cross-legged, he continued to observe the fire carefully. At this moment, he realized he could see nothing beyond the blaze outside, just as those outside had no knowledge of what was happening within. It was precisely this mutual ignorance that prompted Ye Heng to devise a corresponding strategy.

The fire raged like an angry dragon, relentlessly advancing step by step. Not only did it draw nearer, but its scorching breath climbed ever higher, as if determined to consume everything around in an endless inferno.

In this desperate situation, Ye Heng noticed a peculiar phenomenon: the flames not only blocked his escape but completely severed the space from the outside world. Looking up at the sky, dyed red by the fire’s glow, an inexplicable surge of strength welled up within him.

He began to scrutinize every subtle change in the fire—the flickering tongues of flame, the rolling waves of heat, even the slightest distortion of light in the air caused by the intense temperature—all became subjects of his study. Slowly, a blueprint for countermeasures took shape in his mind, a crystallization of wisdom born from acute insight and utilization of the environment.

Sweat trickled down his tense jaw, evaporating instantly into invisible mist as it hit the scorching ground. Yet none of this could shake his resolve. He knew that every second now was crucial; he had to seize this rare opportunity to reverse the tide.

As the flames continued their rampage, Ye Heng’s gaze grew ever firmer, as if engaged in a silent dialogue with the fire. Each observation deepened his understanding of nature’s laws; each thought refined his survival wit. Perched on the knife-edge between life and death, Ye Heng was quietly brewing a world-shaking counterattack. And its genesis was nothing more than a seemingly ordinary act of sitting cross-legged? No—it was a turning point. The outside world could not perceive the moves here, just as he could not fathom the shifting winds beyond. This asymmetry of information, like mist on a chessboard, opened infinite possibilities for the next moves.

A faint smile curved at the corner of Ye Heng’s lips—contempt for the predicament and confidence in the cunning he was about to unleash. Thus, amid the roaring flames and encroaching darkness, plans quietly took shape in his heart.

"Amy, Amy, the customs of your Martial God Kingdom are truly perplexing. Look at this one hailed as the ‘Child of Light.’ His reputation far exceeds his reality. Such a frail body—can he truly bear the weight of slaying the supernatural beasts? To me, he seems more like a flower nurtured in a greenhouse than a battle-hardened Martial God. The title suits him only in mockery," Elu sighed softly, shaking her head, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion. "Our master has said: Martial God Kingdom, cease futile resistance. When the supernatural beasts truly descend, none can stand against them. Your current efforts are but a mantis trying to stop a chariot—doomed to failure."

Amy’s lips curled in a faint smile, shaking her head gently, a mix of amusement and depth flickering in her eyes. "Supernatural King? If the Supernatural King truly wishes to annihilate our Martial God Kingdom, they would not spare anyone in this world." Her tone shifted, hardening into a cold challenge: "You world serpents, thinking that by allying with those lofty beings you can escape your fate as pawns? How utterly laughable."

At this, Elu’s expression darkened suddenly. In a blur, she stood before Amy and delivered a fierce kick to her abdomen, like thunder and lightning unleashed. Caught off guard, Amy staggered, eyes flashing with an indescribable pain, yet she barely steadied herself, a bitter smile tugging at her lips.

"You..." Elu’s words choked in anger. She glared and kicked again. Amy’s vision darkened, as if the world lost all color in that instant. Her eyes rolled back painfully, saliva trickled from her mouth, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if about to collapse.

Yet even so, defiance still gleamed in her eyes—a resilience that refused to yield even in the face of despair. After the kick, Elu laughed loudly with triumphant delight. "Look at your pitiful state, hahahaha... Even if the Three Kings seek to exterminate us, our world serpent’s God-creation plan continues unscathed. Then, we shall traverse any dimension at will, free from all control."

"You must understand, our world serpent’s choice is right."

"Since the Dragon Kingdom fell and the Human Emperor’s legacy broke, no gods have emerged. Without divine protection, the Heavenly Gate will not open; how then can there be heaven? Without gods, how can we resist the supernatural beasts? Legend says the supernatural beasts are guarded by three emperors, each surpassing the Human Emperor’s power. With a mere thought, they can destroy an entire era. But it's only legend. Even so, the top ten commanders have made us suffer greatly. We have battled for centuries, exhausting every means."

As Elu’s voice echoed melodiously through the air, the sky suddenly darkened and winds roared like unleashed beasts, sweeping Elu’s body up and hurling her five meters away. Her once proud, radiant “Fire Lotus: Chaotic Flame Dance” technique was torn mercilessly by the storm, its brilliance dimmed.

Shock and disbelief surged in Elu’s heart. She never imagined a B-level Martial God could wield such astonishing power, shattering her prized signature move in an instant—a technique that had been her trump card countless times before ascending to S-level.

"Could it be true, as rumored outside, that he is gifted beyond ordinary comprehension?" Elu pondered inwardly, then shook her head skeptically. "Or perhaps it is the path quietly paved by Lisa behind the scenes, providing him countless opportunities to learn and practice... If so, our master’s plan to create gods might truly succeed!"

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
