524: Chapter 504: The Truth About the Holy Fire 524: Chapter 504: The Truth About the Holy Fire Just dealing with the pollution of supernatural flames?
No matter how you look at it, something seems off.
Is something produced by the sun considered natural?
This definition is too subjective; can it be so arbitrary?
Can twisted lifeforms and normal lifeforms really be distinguished at the genetic level?
You don’t have the technology for genetic-level analysis, and just by using “natural” and “unnatural” can you tell friend from foe?
Moreover, how can you be sure that after wiping away those unnatural parts, the “natural lifeforms” still have a chance to survive?
Lu Ping’an had seen cases of being burned by the Holy Fire.
It was refreshing to see the twisted parts directly ignited, but after the burning, the normal parts that were in contact with the flames seemed to have vanished as well.
Lu Ping’an knew that he needed a more detailed analysis.
He quickly obtained a summary of the results.
“…The results are quite subtle; are you sure you want to know?
Forget it, even if you know, don’t spread the news.”
With nearly unlimited Holy Fire provided by the chapel and the experimental equipment from this world, Lu Ping’an was able to perform data-driven and detailed analysis.
The conclusion was not difficult to reach.
In fact, if it weren’t for the numerous misleading scriptures from the Sun God, only a few dozen or hundred comparative experiments would have been needed to reach the conclusion.
Lu Ping’an believed that the high-ranked individuals within the Holy Fire system must know the truth; they just don’t see the need to spread it.
“The Purifying Holy Fire, in the end, is a curse – a life curse – a self-ignition curse of life.
What it burns isn’t actually the mutated part, but the normal part.”
Even if she had already abandoned the teachings of the deities, Catherine was still confused when she received the “Holy Fire Report” given to her by Lu Ping’an.
Lu Ping’an approached her just to verify some matters.
Under his detailed explanations, she quickly understood the truth.
Igniting curses and unnatural objects directly?
There are countless twisted and polluted shapes; how can you identify which ones are twisted and which ones are natural?
So, that leads to another unexplainable phenomenon…
you can’t even be sure what the “pollutants” are, yet the flames can always ignite them.
In fact, this is a curse exclusive to living beings.
When it touches the body, it senses whether there is pollution…
That’s not difficult, as there are already many abilities that can detect unnatural existences.
Once it detects pollution, it ignites the “normal parts”…
yes, the normal parts, not the “mutated parts”.
It is an internal combustion mechanism that turns your “normal parts” closest to the unnatural parts into Holy Flames, creating a natural barrier between the normal parts and polluted parts, thus indirectly achieving “isolation” and “purification”.
The principle of killing polluted lifeforms also becomes simple.
Even if a lifeform mutates, it still has normal and internal circulating parts, and they don’t have a low proportion…
If all those parts are burnt, of course, the mutated lifeforms will not survive.
Compared to the “high-defense” mutated parts, those normal parts are easier to ignite.
So, the target it kills is often in the form of “internal combustion” because what is ignited are indeed the most vulnerable “normal parts” inside.
This is a “life flame” that curses living beings “under the sun”.
If your mutated parts are few, the burnt parts will be few.
Once the pollution is isolated, you would obtain “purification”, and you would continue to live normally.
The so-called purification is actually isolating the abnormal parts, even if it means burning some normal parts as well.
If your mutated parts are many…
then you naturally don’t have a chance.
According to the scriptures, it is about “redeeming your soul.”
This is just Lu Ping’an and his party’s recent research findings, but if you look further, there are many complex principles and effects.
This flame doesn’t just act on the physical body; it can also burn the soul – or it could be said that the soul is its fuse.
Further research has revealed a more malicious truth.
“All life is favored by the sun, all life owes the sun, all life can be cursed by the sun…”
Lu Ping’an was surprised by how sinister and cryptic the power of the righteous Sun God was.
“…But theoretically, this flame should have little effect on higher-order fully mutated lifeforms, like Quasi-Gods.”
“The flame can be refined and sublimated, with each tier having completely different effects.” As a Fire Keeper, Catherine knew more clearly than Lu Ping’an.
She knew about several evolutionary forms and subspecies of the purifying flame, targeting different opponents and objectives as well.
“It also means that this power should be useful for normal lifeforms as well.
But why doesn’t a complete lifeform trigger the self-ignition effect?
Ah, there must be a component in the curse that can sense pollution.
The indicator light defining what’s normal should be the lifeforms ‘illuminated by the Sun’.” Lu Ping’an couldn’t quite understand when the big cat said that.
But her “speculation” was eye-opening.
She speculated that, according to the Sun God’s design, the “Sun” would continuously emit “identifications”.
The ones with identification were normal lifeforms…
This is similar to the pigment deposits left by sunlight, which naturally accumulate under the skin and the surface of living organisms.
That is the antibody resisting pollution and the unexploded bomb of unstable factors.
It is actually the outer structures like skin, horns, and hooves that are the most susceptible to mutations.
Once they’re destroyed, they no longer belong to the unnatural state.
The “pigments” accumulated under the flesh will sense the “intruders” and become the ignition catalyst.
This method, compared to the Constant Motion system, is more akin to the Grandmaster of Ten Thousand Spirits’ life system.
The star is simply a medium for casting spells, and it is the Life Source Force that truly acts on it.
“Indeed, this sun is also an important part of this world’s defense system.
It’s no wonder the Holy Flame Priest can crush many Magic Monsters.
But with this understanding, wouldn’t the characteristics of this flame be greatly weakened outside of this world?”
“No, its abilities as a ‘curse of life and flame’ should only be strengthened.
More importantly, since you have a fire source, why not create your own man-made little sun…
No, not a sun, just a ‘light source’ for lighting purposes?
You could play with a variety of styles.”‘
This involved the field of life and was the big cat’s area of expertise.
She delved into the analysis of the curse’s components and modules with great interest and confirmed that it is an extremely malicious life curse with a very high upper limit.
“In a sense, that sun is constantly cursing the inhabitants of the planet.
Once they mutate, a touch of Holy Fire can ignite them…
How malicious and interesting a life curse it is, a hundred times more sinister than withering and aging.
Heh, no wonder its child is the Beast God; it turns out it’s the primary deity of the life system.”
The big cat became more engrossed in the research than Lu Ping’an, and her interest in the flame grew as she used her knowledge of the life system as a high-level Healer and Beast Tamer to carefully analyze the series of powers.
“Fascinating, it’s so fascinating.
Not only is it the principle of the abilities, but the applications are also very interesting.
Lu Ping’an, be sure to take away more scrolls and knowledge.
They can save you countless time and energy…
No, it’s even worth dedicating your life to researching.”
