According to the Black Swan, because Emperor Lao Deng anchored the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, the Black Sun's influence on Lao Deng is almost negligible.
But if the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm were to drift from its anchor and flow towards other regions, whether Lao Deng could still control the Black Sun would be uncertain.
If the Black Sun loses control, Emperor Lao Deng would likely suffer a severe blow.
This situation is quite likely to occur.
Especially when Louis realized the future his original self was in, Lao Deng at least half believed, he started to suspect that Lao Deng had problems related to the Black Sun.
After all, while walking in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, he could feel the overwhelming and cold power of the Black Sun.
If the Tiger Taming Technique is rely a ritualistic magic simulating a beauty taming a strong entity.
Then the Black Sun is the ultimate magic constantly releasing deadly power.
It represents the emperor's cold and heartless side.
After all, as an emperor, expecting him to be as kind and gentle as ordinary people is a bit unfair.
The emperor's tenderness ans rcilessly beating other races besides humans and exchanging their blood for human benevolence.
Based on his understanding of Emperor Lao Deng, he truly believes Lao Deng could do such things.
So, upon hearing that the Shadow Realm had issues, Louis instantly beca alert.
"Don't make trouble, let the Black Sun split Lao Deng apart, then it will be a real problem."
The Mage told Louis:
"The Shadow Tiger is not a magical creature fond of group actions, and individually, they are not too weak."
"As they age, fewer magical creatures can deal with them."
"But there's an overwhelming number of Shadow Tigers coming out here, which doesn't align with their usual behavior."
"It seems their living area is suffering from so irresistible disaster, forcing the solitary Shadow Tigers to band together."
The Mage looked a bit frustrated:
"If it were just them, it would be fine, but the fear is that the disaster's range is much larger."
"You should know that the Shadow Realm is a hub for interdinsional travel, right?"
Louis nodded:
"Traveling Mages use the Shadow Realm or Ether plane to roam through other dinsions."
The Mage waved his hand, summoning a large sea of fire ahead, turning those Astral Mayflies to ashes, and said with frustration:
"Here lies the problem, unlike the outer layers, Shadow and Ether magical creatures can enter the Star Continent."
"Although most tis, they abhor entering the Star Continent as they find it hard to adapt."
"But if they're facing a life-and-death crisis, it's anyone's guess."
Louis imdiately understood his aning.
The Shadow Realm's survival environnt vastly differs from the primary material world.
When Louis went to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, he also felt that the environnt was too oppressive and very uncomfortable.
But to the native residents of the Shadow Realm, living there is like being ho.
Yet if there are unwanted guests at ho, they would have to endure the harsh conditions for a while, albeit reluctantly.
After all, survival cos first.
The Mage was worried that if the disaster area in the Shadow Realm was too large, they would have to be prepared.
—Prepared to face the invading shadow creatures on the Star Continent.
Louis felt like shedding tears for this world upon hearing this.
What situation is the Star Continent in, that everyone wants a piece of it?
Initially, he thought the Ense Empire dealing with the Gate of the Abyss under their seats while maintaining enough military strength and having small-scale battles with various races was tough enough.
But now it seems, the toughest part is the Star Continent itself.
He previously joked, "The Star Continent has its own charm."
But now, it's like you mock the Star Continent for being foolish, and it mocks you for not understanding it.
It's so damn frustrating.
Taking notes, there's a batch of regular adventurers who frequent the Shadow Realm right in Tino City.
Forr Hero Squad mbers, top-notch Wanderers below legendary rank, Old Heisen Bansha.
When the ti cos, ask them; they should know what's going on.
"Kids, step back a bit."
Fox's hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears.
Louis and the others stepped back a few paces without hesitation, withdrawing from the frontline battlefield.
In the next mont, the Erald Fire transford into a raging sea of flas.
A wave of heat rose from the sky, driving a myriad of interdinsional creatures out of the world.
"Ti is almost up."
His voice grew increasingly weak.
Amidst flickering streams of light, Louis discovered a chaotic battlefield vaguely exposed at the other end of the crack.
Countless beautiful creatures hovered in the sky, fighting against another group of twisted beings.
A clear voice ca from across space:
"Fox, I've stabilized the space on my side for you."
Fox nodded:
"Thank you for the trouble."
"It's no trouble. If you hadn't gathered enough reinforcents, I wouldn't have been able to help, so this is your own hard-earned result."
As the words fell, that space began healing rapidly.
Fox turned his gaze to Louis:
"Newcor, aren't you after the Jade Phoenix Mage's legacy? Co over here."
Louis looked at that twisted space, sowhat shalessly saying:
"Can I just throw the legacy necklace over and not go there?"
Fox was nearly choked by his words:
"You brat, get over here; I can't move."
Only then did Louis notice Fox's hair had sohow turned white.
At this mont, a sigh from Blade Tutor rlin, who had been hidden, sounded:
"Louis, don't worry, he won't harm you."
Seeing rlin say this, Louis eased his mind a little.
Not everyone would be plotting against him, right?
Although he still felt a bit uneasy, Louis went forward.
He stepped in front of Fox and obediently took out the legacy necklace given by his mother-in-law.
"Mr. Fox, please."
Fox nodded and said:
"Tom (Grand Chancellor) already told about you; it's been many years since anyone dared inherit soone else's Erald Fire."
Louis said in confusion:
"Why? Wouldn't inheriting the Erald Fire make one much stronger?"
Fox laughed aningfully:
"Because most people aren't ready, ready to face the harshness behind the Jade Phoenix Mage."
Louis said, "Harshness?"
"Yes, the Jade Phoenix Mage's power originates from our vows to the world, sothing you know, right?"
Louis nodded.
Fox chuckled, "Give your hand."
Louis: ???
"Hurry up, give your hand."
Louis extended his hand.
A pair of withered hands gently placed themselves on Louis:
"The Erald Fire represents the essence of a Jade Phoenix Mage, and also the vows they made to the world."
"Inheriting soone else's Erald Fire ans, to so extent, continuing our vows."
"To inherit this power, you must complete what we left unfinished and embrace our ideals."
He smiled and said:
"So regrets are too heavy, and so ideals they can't accept right now, so most have given up inheriting their predecessors' powers."
Fox tossed the legacy necklace into Louis's hands:
"I've placed my legacy inside; I hope you pass it on to soone you find suitable next."
Louis couldn't help but recall that night when he was in the bedroom with the Black Swan, what she told him.
"Absorbing the previous person's Erald Fire can significantly speed up your advancent, but it cos at a cost."
He said:
"The cost?"
"You'll understand when you et Fox."
The Black Swan showed a trace of sadness on her face:
"Every Jade Phoenix Mage, in their final mont, will ask their successor whether to inherit their fla."
"The majority refuse, considering it an unbearable weight."
"Ironically, although they choose to refuse, they end up on the sa path as their predecessors."
"Sotis, I wonder, if they will eventually walk this path, why not inherit the power from the start?"
"At least...it lets you move faster, doesn't it?"
He never understood what that ant.
But after eting Fox, he felt that what the Black Swan didn't explicitly say might have an answer with Fox.
