Even his descendants thought that he was already dead. Just think about it, it was already a long time ago, more than trillions of years had already passed yet Firelord was still alive, albeit barely.

"Nothing can escape my eyes." Jin Rou shook his head, "There are many truths in this world, they are just waiting to be discovered."

"Well said, young man. Your cultivation is deeper than mine, so I have no qualms if you want to take all the treasures here though just like I said, it will be nothing but scraps of metals in your eyes." Firelord spoke. The treasures here might be tempting to other people, but it was different with Jin Rou who had almost everything.

"I don\'t need your treasures here. However, I do want that piece of wood hidden in the deepest part of your tomb." Jin Rou said.

Firelord raised his brow and wasn\'t surprised, "Young man, since you want that wood, you should also know what it implicates. It can create a bloody war amongst people out there. Even other era emperors might appear, and with high Words at that."

Jin Rou, of course, knew this and nodded, "Surely. That piece of wood can easily entice many people out there to appear with their real bodies. But, you don\'t have to worry since it will be safe with me."

"Since this young man is confident, please feel free to have the wood, then." Firelord responded and a piece of jade wood flew over to Jin Rou from the tomb, "Please be careful, though. It is a double-edged sword, after all."

Jin Rou observed the pieced of jade wood and the symbols engraved in it. It was very familiar to him as Han Li deciphered this wood in the past, though he didn\'t take it.

"Since this young man accepted the jade wood, this old man has a tiny request in return." Firelord said. He was a mere figure of he could exclude such amount of fire aura.

"Pray, do tell." Jin Rou entertained the notion. Since he didn\'t like having things for free, giving back in return would be nice. By that, the karmic ties would end.

"I just want you to help the Firegate in any way possible you can. Currently, the sect is divided into two factions and they are against each other\'s throat. I want you to pick the suitable candidate for the highest position there." Firelord said.

Firegate was a powerful lineage but not one of the best in the current epoch. Although they used to be one of the behemoths of the past, it was all nothing but a glorious past now. Nevertheless, they were a power that couldn\'t be trifled with easily.

Firelord Era Emperor created this a long time ago and during his era, it was the most brilliant part of their history. Nevertheless, it all crumbled down when Firelord and the second and last era emperor disappeared from the world.

"You want me to babysit your sect?" Jin Rou had a deep knowledge with Firegate. An imperial lineage which created two emperors.

"I don\'t think I can find anyone of your level again, so I\'m using this opportunity to give my descendants a chance to prosper." Firelord said with sincerity. Although he already abandoned them in his heart, he still cared for them.

It would be much easier for Firelord to appear and settle the matter. However, the current Western Emperor Region restricted 12-Words Era Emperors from appearing. If ever one dared to do so, they would suffer death tribulations.

"You still love your children even after the long years." Jin Rou was slightly amazed. For 12-Words, they usually didn\'t care about their lineages already and focused on improving and getting stronger. They wouldn\'t even bat an eye if their lineages crumbled.

Would they ever risk their lives in order to save their descendants? Most emperors would probably say no. It was a cruel reality but most people understood why.

Thus, it was a rarity to actually meet an apex emperor caring about his lineage.

"Well, emotions are one that I don\'t want to let go of until I die." Firelord smiled. His expression was weary and tired. With the long years of being alive, Firelord had grown tired of living. He wanted to die already, but thinking about his descendants made him feel uneasy. He wanted to part them with a gift first before bidding a real goodbye to them.

"Then I\'ll accommodate your request." Jin Rou smiled. Seeing the sincere nature of the emperor, he felt refreshed. Even Sylvianna was shocked.

An emperor standing at the apex was being like this? It was unheard of and many people wouldn\'t believe her if she told them.

Jin Rou looked at the jade wood. The return favor was much more than the this piece of wood, but Jin Rou didn\'t mind it. He was thinking it as something in between of a gift and a favor.

"Thank you, young man. With you, I can rest at ease." Firelord smiled. His smile was genuine. All he wanted now was never power, but the safety and prosperity of his lineage. They didn\'t need to be a top powerhouse, as long as they can fend for themselves, that\'s all that mattered.

Soon, the will disappeared and the fog returned. Jin Rou looked at a blank distance and said, "Let\'s get out of this burial tomb. Our matter is done here."

He handed over the jade wood and said, "Go and know these symbols. You need to master them before we go find the paragon. That will help you a lot in your battle. However, it doesn\'t guarantee your win. I just increased your chances of winning."

"How much did it increase, Young Noble?" Sylvianna held the wood tight afraid that it might get lost on the way.

"Do you really want to know?" Jin Rou asked.

Seeing Sylvianna nodding, Jin Rou smirked and answered, "If you learn how to use the wood earlier than I expected, you will know what are the odds of you winning against Ancient Paragon."
