nThe raging volcano abruptly calmed down. It was incredible because everybody saw that an eruption was inevitable. Yet it all turned quiet at the last moment.

n

nThe onlookers stared at the volcano in bewilderment, but they didn’t return home right away. Although it seemed to have quieted down, what if it was only temporary?

n

nWhat if it erupted when they approached it?

n

nEverybody was concerned, but no one wanted to go up the volcano to see what was going on.

n

n“Has the Baih family sent someone to take care of it?”

n

n“Even if they did, they wouldn’t come here in time. The Baih family members nearby are only Nascent cultivators. They don’t have the power to suppress the volcano.”

n

n“In that case, did a capable cultivator happen to be close by and calmed down the volcano?”

n

n“We’ve been here the whole time. There was no such person!”

n

n“Does it have something to do with that young man? The volcano stirred when he jumped in. Then, it quieted down. I think he’s the reason behind everything.”

n

n“How can he pacify it? The volcano was going to erupt when he jumped in, and I agree that was because of him, but he must have melted in the magma already!”

n

n“No one else was in our vicinity except for that young man. Are you saying the volcano itself caused everything?”

n

nThose people couldn’t stop talking about the incident because it would affect their everyday life. Just then, snowflakes started falling from the sky above the volcano.

n

nNowhere else was snowing. It was as if the snow was specifically for the volcano. Moreover, it was turning the volcano into a snow mountain.

n

nThe crowd watched with open mouths while snow gradually covered the slopes. It was only a thin layer now, but it actually explained a lot of things!

n

nThe fact that snow could cover the slopes meant the volcano wasn’t warm enough to melt the snowflakes. It was only a matter of minutes before it would transform into a snow mountain.

n

nOn the other side of the mountain, two people were heading for the south, holding hands.

n

nThe shorter one had flaming red hair and wore a dress of the same color. She didn’t have any shoes on, but there wasn’t a trace of dust on her bare feet.

n

nThe taller one wore a plain white robe and black shoes. He looked just like any other traveler on the road.

n

nTogether, the two of them looked like the most ordinary father and daughter.

n

n“Master, I feel I’m so much stronger now!” Firey smiled, her cheeks blushing.

n

n“This trip has benefited you a lot.” Himmel Soan seemed pleased.

n

nAfter devouring the volcano’s energy, Firey returned to her human form.

n

nThey left the volcano after that. On the way, he told her about this world, as well as how he happened to come here and things that had been happening in Stelladom. He didn’t leave anything out.

n

nFirey had a hard time digesting the information. Ordinary people would need two weeks to comprehend everything. However, it only took her ten minutes.

n

nShe had an overall understanding of this world, but how Himmel Soan ended up here was harder to understand.

n

nIf that information came from another person, Firey would think they’d lost their minds. However, her master had personally told her, so she believed every word.

n

n“Master, how’s your recovery going?” Firey knew Himmel Soan had lost a lot of spiritual essence when he came here, but she didn’t know his current state.

n

nHimmel Soan was a little surprised. He only checked his energy level when he first arrived here and had ignored it since then. He didn’t know either.

n

nIt was easy to know the answer because he only needed to examine himself.

n

n“I’m at 0.7% now. I think it’ll be 1% when we reach the next city.

n

n“It looks fast, but it’s rather slow for me. Afterward, it’ll take the same amount of time to recover the next 1%. Only the beginning seems easy.” Himmel Soan sighed.

n

nHe couldn’t imagine his power if he recovered all his energy. However, even if he could collect all the spiritual essence in Stelladom, he still wouldn’t have enough for a full recovery.

n

nHe simply needed too much. To recover his full strength, he would have to use up two Stelladoms.

n

n“I see. That’s so slow. But you can recover by absorbing the essence of nature, right?

n

n“Why don’t we look for the essence of nature somewhere else? It’ll be much easier to find Gina once you recover your strength!” Firey spoke her mind.

n

nOther people would take a long time to carefully choose their words and hesitate if they should ask certain questions or say certain things. They often had such considerations because they overthought things.

n

nFirey wasn’t like that. She would always speak her mind.

n

nHimmel Soan smiled awkwardly. Firey had a point. If he could recover his strength, he would find Gina much faster.

n

nHowever, he had some scruples.
