Enjoy the chapter and read the Author's Note!

===============================================================================

Igneel smirked at Xiao Yan and continued to explain.

"Flame Emperor and I might have lost our physical bodies and our powers, but our spiritual power still retains to that of a God. How did you think Flame Emperor was able to control space?"

"To become a God, one of the needed requirements is to be able to control Time and Space. Now, controlling Time and Space would typically need some form of energy to control the two but it has other ways than to do that."

"To be able to control those two high tier elemental power of the universe, is to have a high level amount of comprehension and understanding of those fundamental laws of the universe. After all, even if you have the power and energy needed, that doesn't mean you would be able to control Time and Space without understanding it."

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding.

"Currently, me and Flame Emperor could only control time in the physical world to either pause, go back several days, or forward said time by several days as well if we exert most of our spiritual power. But to manipulate the age of a human or a spirit beast? Now that's just easy for us to progressed, or revert, their ages by a few thousands of years."

Xiao Yan's jaws dropped.

Manipulating someone's age to either go forward or back by a few thousands of years? Dosen't that mean they could just easily kill someone by aging or de-aging them to death?! Also, dosen't that mean he could do a certain snap as they aged someone to ashes?

Like Igneel could read Xiao Yan's thoughts, he said.

"But of course, in doing so, would garner the attention of several old monsters and pesky gods in this world. Leading to torture and death for us."

Xiao Yan deflated, thinking, 'Well it was worth a try.'

"Though aging someone's spirit rings... is not that much for attention from those beings. Especially since there are a lot of other ways for people to age said spirit rings other than time manipulation."

Xiao Yan then asked.

"Even then, why did you do it? Increasing the age of Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings?"

A mysterious smile appeared on, not only on Igneel, but Flame Emperor as well.

"Well, the main reason isn't important but Ma Xiaotao's spirit evolution had, with unknown reasons, made it so her spirit rings were needed to undergo their own upgrade as well or they would all destroy themselves, permanently."

Xiao Yan's face turned into horror at the implication of Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings would self destruct themselves.

Xiao Yan had only known about one ability that lets spirit ring be destroyed, and that's spirit ring self-destruction that was only known to the high members of the Clear Sky Clan and was used by Tang San in the novel when he fought against the newly ascended Angel God, Qian Renxue.

Spirit Ring self-destruction, as the name suggests, destroys a person's spirit ring but it also gives them a temporary boost of power from said destroyed rings.

In the novel, Tang San had destroyed all of his spirit rings to momentarily gained the power to escape against the ascended Qian Renxue.

But even then, it was temporary for his spirit rings to be gone and would have been gained back later on in the story.

But in Ma Xiaotao's case, hers was to be permanent. Forever destroyed and probably have her cultivation be started from scratch once more, but, it would have been more difficult for her as she would start from spirit rank 1 than with what spirit rank she had when she first awakened her spirit.

Xiao Yan muttered, "So that's why you had aged her spirit rings..." Igneel nodded.

Xiao Yan finally got all of his answers and was about to go back to his physical body when Flame Emperor's voice chimed in.

"Oh you had also put a "seed" within her as well."

Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks, frozen still like a statue. His eyes are blank as he stared at Flame Emperor and Igneel.

Everyone was silent for a moment before Xiao Yan's voice snapped.

"WHAT?!"

Xiao Yan yelled with wide disbelieving eyes at Flame Emperor and Igneel, hoping, that what he heard was false.

But alas, from the straight and nonchalant expressions of the two, it had mean that what Xiao Yan heard was entirely true.

He fell to knees, his shoulders trembling and eyes dead. Muttering,

"No... I'm too young to be a father..." He said with a monotonous voice.

"I also–hold the f.u.c.k up." Xiao Yan froze, as realization hit him.

He hadn't stick his D on any hole yet. So how...?

Raising his head, Xiao Yan watched as Flame Emperor and Igneel were both trembling and had their mouths looked as if it were about to burst.

And burst they did.

"PFFFFTTT----!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" They laughed out. Tears on their eyes as they hold on each other's shoulders for support.

"Your face! The expression! I-It's too priceless, HAHAHAHAHA!!" Flame Emperor said with Igneel opening his mouth to say something as well, but that ended up with him laughing more.

They laughed till they fell to the ground, rolling around, continuing to laughed out till their spiritual lungs bursts out.

All the while Xiao Yan stared at them with cold yet unusually calm gaze.

'I swear, by my grandfather's long a.s.s beard, you will someday receive humiliation a hundred, no, a thousand times fold.'

"Ahem, sorry about that. Enough with the humour and let me explain further." Flame Emperor said seriously, though amus.e.m.e.nt was still clear in his voice.

"Xiao Yan, I'm going to give it to you straight. When you pumped Ma Xiaotao with your heavenly flames and Dragon Qi to restrained the unpurified Evil Fire within her, you did so along with her purified Evil Fire, right?" Xiao Yan nodded, though his right eye twitched at the pumped part.

"Now normally, nothing would have happened and her purified Evil Fire would have been protected by both your heavenly flames and Dragon Qi from her unpurified Evil Fire. Well, something abnormal happened."

"Abnormal?" Xiao Yan asked in concerned.

Flame Emperor paused for a moment and let out a sigh.

"Xiao Yan, I want to ask you something. What are the known heavenly flames within this world?"

Although confused at the sudden question, Xiao Yan didn't beat around the bush and answered immediately.

"The known heavenly flames are numbered in 22: the Nihility Devouring Flame, Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame... Green Lotus Core Flame, Dragon Phoenix Flame, Six Path Reincarnation Flame, Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and Mysterious Yellow Flame."(1)

Flame Emperor nodded and asked a question once more.

"Then, do you know how a Dragon Phoenix Flame is born into this world?"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and shook his head, saying,

"No. Strangely, all the records containing the knowledge about the 19th and below lower heavenly flames are all missing."

Flame Emperor let a sigh.

'Thought so.'

That didn't surprise Flame Emperor, after all, even in his previous world the knowledge of those particular heavenly flames were all strangely missing.

But that was for the better, because only the Flame Emperor, and a select few, know about the true powers those flames possess and he doesn't want anyone with malicious intents to have those heavenly flames land on their hands.

Cause if they do, all hell will break loose upon the land.

'Its better that no one would know, even Xiao Yan. This would have happened if he completely assimilates me, but, sigh... damn my luck.' Flame Emperor inwardly cursed.

Flame Emperor, with a serious expression, said.

"Xiao Yan, what I'm about to say is something that only I, and a select few, knows. So listen up closely."

Xiao Yan unconsciously gulped and nodded.

"The seed that is within Ma Xiaotao I was talking about wasn't what you were thinking about, no, it's something dangerous that would one day grow into a heavenly treasure of which alchemists and spirit masters with fire attribute spirits dream to get, and that's something you have as well." Xiao Yan waited for Flame Emperor to continue but sadly, he had his lips tight.

At first Xiao Yan was confused and angry that Flame Emperor left him with such a bullshit answer until he catched on a certain word, or more likely, pun.

'Heavenly... something I have that all alchemists and spirit masters with fire attribute spirits dream to get... I can only think of–'

"Heavenly flame," Xiao Yan said in disbelief as he stared at Flame Emperor and Igneel, asking, no, demanding to know. "Are you serious? How is that even possible?!"

Flame Emperor and Igneel stayed silent for a moment, before the former let out a resigned sigh and said.

"Because the requirements for a certain heavenly flame was met, hence it is slowly condescending itself to be born and become a true heavenly flame."

Xiao Yan's eyes widened and he asked.

"Requirements? Of which heavenly flame?"

Flame Emperor instantly replied while looking at Xiao Yan's eyes.

"The flame that could only be brought into this world by either having a fire attribute related dragon and phoenix dying at the same time and place with their life force condensed into a fire seed, or,"

"Someone, or something, carrying the spirits of a fire attribute related dragon and phoenix. To which a special empty fire vessel would be created in the carrier to let the spirits of the two beasts refine it into a fire seed to grow into a heavenly flame."

"Although the procedure is different, the results is the same."

"Placed nineteenth of the heavenly flames ranking, the flame that carries the firepower and might of two legendary beasts. The fire seed, that would someday grow into a heavenly flame, within the body of Ma Xiaotao is the heavenly flame; known as the Dragon Phoenix Flame."
