Rod said in a deep voice, "Lord Rhein, you’re right. In the original fate, Trolian should have been destroyed in the Eerie Catastrophe, but we altered destiny. Trolian defeated the human demons, and once again walked out from the brink of annihilation."

At the moment his voice fell, the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads, mourning in silence for all who had fallen in battle.

Rhein looked at Rod, looked at Qingyu, looked at the Holy Fire blazing over Trolian. The light in his eyes had never shone so bright.

Trolian is a great Fire Kingdom.

"I understand now," he said softly. "Perhaps this is why mankind can still exist under such unspeakable horror—miracles and dreams do exist."

He turned his gaze toward Tai Luo.

"This is the proof of Miracle. The Light Giant is an Extremely Great Life of Man, and the Holy King is likewise an Extremely Great existence. He is humanity’s second Eternal, holding an incomparably mighty Bright Light Source Law, suppressing an era—two millennia. His power and talent are unprecedented since time immemorial. It was he who opened the Fire Epoch and laid the foundations for generations to come."

"And you bear the inheritances of both the Light Giant and the Holy King. That is equivalent to carrying two Lives of Man in one body. Your future prospects are beyond measure."

Tai Luo felt a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. "Am I really that strong?"

Rhein nodded solemnly. "Without a doubt, you are also a future star of humanity! I never expected that in remote Trolian there would be two geniuses this Strong... no, three."

Something stirred in Rod’s heart. He smiled and said, "Lord Rhein, it might not be only three."

Rhein gave a slight shake of his head and said decisively, "There can’t be more. Geniuses of this level don’t appear easily. Under normal circumstances, it takes tens of thousands of years for one to appear."

Rod only smiled without answering. He had long known that the number of Lives of Man in Trolian was anything but small; the super-geniuses certified by Bossivale were so many you could load them by the basketful.

Sure enough, as the Fire Sons returned, Rhein let out one cry of astonishment after another.

"Thunder King Misha? Is this the Thunder God’s Life of Man? Such complete power—I can hardly believe it, that there’s actually such a complete Life of Man..."

"Dawn Holy Sword? You actually possess the Dawn Holy Sword? That’s a Source Artifact! Without the Soul’s acknowledgment, it’s impossible to wield it! Hey, why are you cursing me?"

"I smell the aura of time—Time Retrospection user Peibela. I can’t be certain what that is exactly, but you’re definitely a Life of Man."

"And you, Red Queen, you as well!"

"Fire Mage Luo Weiya, your Curse of Destruction is extremely special. You must also be a Life of Man!"

"My God, so many Lives of Man... does Trolian mass-produce Lives of Man?"

Rhein was completely stunned, and the later-arriving Bossivale only added that Trolian still had many similar talents, who simply hadn’t had time to grow yet and hadn’t reached a very Strong realm, so they hadn’t come to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Rod also laughed and said, "Lord Bossivale is right. There are a few geniuses in my Battle Group as well. If you saw them, you’d definitely be scared out of your wits."

The extreme shock left Rhein somewhat dazed, but after only a few seconds, his gaze hardened with resolve.

"The existence of Trolian is unique. The potential you possess far exceeds my imagination."

"Humanity... has hope again!"
