That was troublesome. Thomas chuckled in resignation as he shook his head. He knew that things would not be so easy.

Pisces frowned and asked, “What the heck? I don’t understand. Didn’t you say that anyone could get the sacred fire just now? Why are you suddenly saying that those who get it will die? What do you mean?”

Phoebe quickly gave Pisces an answer to his puzzlement.

She patiently answered, “Just like I said earlier, the two tribes actually work together. One is responsible for giving rewards, while the other will be in charge of punishments. The divine water is used to reward people with great kindness, while the sacred fire is used to punish people who are extremely evil.”

Huh?

Pisces said, “Does that mean if someone does something evil, he would be burned to death by sacred fire? It feels like making sacrifices to God. It’s a corrupt custom, right?”

“No!”

Phoebe firmly denied Pisces’ guess.

She said, “The truth is different from what you think. The sacred fire is real

    “People come from around the world, and they’ve committed all kinds of crimes that have made others and God angry. I guess there are about twenty people who are burned to death by the sacred fire every year.” It was a really surprising number and incident.Who would have expected those evil individuals to realize the error of their ways and take the initiative to kill themselves?For these people, the existence of the sacred fire was actually a relief and redemption, so it held important meaning.Thomas sighed. Now he understood why Phoebe would say what she did just now.Indeed, everyone could get the sacred fire. As long as you wanted it, you would be able to get it.However, the sacred fire would not be handed over to you directly. Instead, it would burn you to death.Your life would come to an end the moment you met the sacred fire!It still sounded terrifying and frightening.Thomas exhaled. He did not expect it to be so hard to get the last two elements. If he wanted to

    In the end, Thomas asked the last question. “Do you know the names of the two tribes?”Phoebe burst out laughing. “Nobody has known their names for a long time. Now, one’s called Divine Water Tribe while the other’s called Sacred Fire Tribe.”Thomas also chuckled. “These names are easy to remember.”While they spoke, their car reached a T-junction, and Pisces stopped the vehicle.“Where should we go?”Phoebe said, “The left is the road to the Divine Water Tribe, and the right is the road to the Sacred Fire Tribe. It’s up to you to choose either the left or right side.”Thomas pondered for a while before he pointed at the road on the right and said, “Let’s go to the Sacred Fire Tribe.”After all, the sacred fire could be easily obtained, while they might not even be able to see any divine water. After Thomas thought about it, he decided to go and see how the sacred fire looked. It might be easier to start with it.Therefore, Pisces started the car and drove in the Sacred Fire Tr

    When Thomas and the gang saw the car drive away, they promptly found a small restaurant, sat down, and ordered a few dishes.They were going to wait for their meals to arrive as they discussed tomorrow’s burning while they ate.However, before they made their order, a waiter walked over and said, “Hello, could you please roll your sleeves up and show me your arms?”What kind of strange request was that?Thomas and his group looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled. While it was a rural tribe, such a strange custom should not exist, right?They were just there to eat, so why did their arms require checking?Pisces asked Phoebe, “Ms. Mars, is this also a custom in this place?”Phoebe looked just as confused. She never expected this to happen. Before she got there, she had no idea that the place had such a custom, so she did not know how to explain it either.The waiter smiled faintly and said, “No, this isn’t our custom, but we’re taking preventive measures against a diseas

    He paused for a while before he continued to say, “There are rumors saying we always burn people down here. As long as people desire it, they can be burned by the sacred fire to burn their sins. That’s actually inaccurate. The elders are kind, so they won’t burn people as a part of their entertainment.”When Phoebe heard that, she pouted slightly.The situation was a little different from her introduction.She had initially thought that anyone could be burned by the sacred fire, and they could die as long as they wished for it. That was actually not true. The elder would still persuade people against it if it was possible.It seemed that everything she had heard was fake, and she needed to see the situation for herself.“What will it be like during the sacred fire’s burning ceremony tomorrow?” Thomas asked further.When he mentioned it, the waiter’s expression darkened a little, and he sighed.Thomas curiously said, “Why? You look uncomfortable. Are the people who are going to b

    “Besides, to prevent the evil people from worrying about anything, the Great Elder has promised that they would treat their families well, and they would also release a huge amount of welfare allowance.”When Thomas and the group heard about it, they understood what was happening in the tribe.Thomas said, “So, the dozens of people who were burned last month and this month are evil people who’ve committed crimes?”The waiter nodded firmly.He said, “Actually, when someone stepped out, people were happy because they thought that the strange mark disease would finally disappear. Unexpectedly, after the first person was burned, the strange mark disease continued to exist, and there was no sign that it was going to disappear!“However, the second and third people stepped out.“People were burned to death one after another, but the strange mark disease remained. It seems untreatable.”At that moment, Pisces contemptuously said, “The strange mark disease is an illness. Isn’t it supers

    Phoebe was a little dumbfounded. The situation was so messy. How could it be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them?She asked, “What do you mean?”Thomas explained, “If everything here is peaceful and nothing happens, it’ll be hard for us to get the sacred fire.“But you’ve seen it. This place is chaotic, and the people are frightened. If we can solve the problem and make the strange mark disease disappear, think about it, won’t the tribe owe us a great favor?“It wouldn’t be too much to repay us with the sacred fire, right?”This time, Phoebe understood him.She nodded. It was true. If they could help the tribe get rid of the strange mark disease, they could easily get the sacred fire.The problem was, could the strange mark disease be easily cured?Phoebe asked, “So, how are you going to discover the wicked person?”Thomas burst out laughing.He drank some tea before he said, “Well, first of all, I have to stress that I’m an atheist. I don’t know whether the Great Elder

    One particular characteristic deserved attention: all the people who were presently sick were from the tribe, and there were no tourists suffering from the strange mark disease for the time being. Phoebe was surprised. “Such a thing actually exists? Then why did the waiter check our arms in the first place?”Thomas replied, “It’s just a formality. Although no tourists have gotten sick for the time being, it doesn’t mean that tourists will definitely not get sick.”After a pause, he said, “But if you assume that tourists really won’t get sick, that means that the strange mark disease will only spread within the tribe. You should remember the Great Elder’s dream: the evil person is also a member of the tribe.“It means that all dangers are actually confined to the tribe and have nothing to do with tourists. Therefore, tourists can still eat and drink, and do whatever they want. Only the people in the tribe live in fear.”After listening to Thomas’s explanation, Phoebe finally under

    After a while, all the food was served on the table while still hot, which made Phoebe’s cold palms gradually warm up.She put a piece of meat in her mouth. “Hmm, delicious.”As he watched her, Thomas felt happy and said, “Your anorexia has basically been cured.”“Really?”Even Phoebe herself had not noticed this.After she recalled it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. In fact, they had not eaten Thomas’s food these few days and went out to eat instead.They had not even been to some fancy restaurants.But Phoebe did not feel the slightest discomfort and enjoyed every meal.In fact, it was Thomas who secretly put the medicine in the meal and helped Phoebe recover bit by bit. Phoebe’s anorexia had almost recovered, and she only needed a few more days of recuperation to be fine.Phoebe’s mood was even better.Right then, Pisces changed back to the previous topic and said, "Commander, in your opinion, who is the culprit that brought about the changes to the Sac

    No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally

    Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi

    It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible

    At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the

    Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’

    For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin

    How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the

    After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck

    “I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
