"In the Old Days, the only standard that could be judged was the traces."
"Once traces are erased beyond a certain degree,"
"all sorts of... taboos, unprovable, unrememberable phenomena occur, and those who force themselves to know what should not exist will encounter terrifying ominousness!"
The solemn voice of Luo Shenfu echoed in Su Qi’s ears.
Su Qi looked at the black and white beyond the gate and lightly pointed his finger, and Starfire turned into a beam of starlight!
It shot out with a booming roar!
Now summoning Starfire, without the need to snap his fingers, allowed Su Qi to employ Starfire in different forms and effects.
Although it had no attack power and was only splendid in appearance, who cares, as long as it’s cool.
Starfire entered into the black and white of the Old Days, its brilliant light only managing to illuminate a small area before slowly turning into pixels, like sinking into the Abyss.
"The space inside is bigger than imagined; the light is not enough to illuminate it. Brother Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Shenfu seemed somewhat shocked by Su Qi’s just action.
"What did you just throw out?"
Luo Shenfu was no stranger to Su Qi’s use of Starfire; he had previously felt no energy from it and had considered it just a little illuminating tool.
Unexpectedly, it could light up the Old Days, although only a little, yet it could persist so long before its traces were deprived and it vanished.
"Starfire," Su Qi paused, snapped his fingers, "is the emblem of The Hustlers Sect."
"To be able to exist for so long in the Old Days..." Luo Shenfu said in a firm voice, though now it had sunk into the Gate World and was no longer visible.
Luo Shenfu had made a judgment.
"This is an immensely precious object!"
"Alright, stop evaluating it."
Su Qi looked towards the corridor ahead. Despite the light behind them, the corridor beyond the door was... completely dark, and all light stopped abruptly at the door.
"Let’s focus on the task at hand now."
Luo Shenfu frowned, "Although I don’t know what lies ahead... it’s certainly no place of tranquility. Daozi, be careful."
Su Qi’s gaze focused on the corridor, as dark as can be, like a cliff edge, or a chasm, devoid of any bit of information.
Su Qi knew he couldn’t have appeared in this place for no reason. Regardless of the factor, he needed to probe for clarity.
He flicked his fingers gently, casting out a large group of Starfire.
The Starfire brightened the path ahead.
In the Old Days, the light of Starfire was limited, shining on the path of its forward flight.
But it still illuminated a large number of the black and white gates.
And there was no end in sight.
Once more, the Starfire turned into tiny pixels, until it could no longer be seen.
"It’s very long, no end in sight," Luo Shenfu concentrated all his Spiritual Power to gather information.
"But... there seem to be traces on the ground."
"Can you continue to use that Starfire, Daozi?"
Su Qi extended his hand and produced a sphere of light ten times the size of the previous one, ready to cast it out.
Luo Shenfu’s eyes widened.
"Wait, conserve that precious thing a bit!"
Su Qi glanced at the ball of Starfire.
A thing that cost nothing, unlimited, eternally existent and still to conserve it would be a bit disrespectful.
"Fine, I’ll conserve it a bit."
The Starfire in his hand returned to its normal size.
Although Starfire was an unlimited resource for him, its trait of enduring in the Old Days was something Su Qi had already seen the value of.
Being able to last long in the Old Days made it immensely precious to others.
If they knew its true traits, it would drive people even crazier.
Su Qi once again tossed out the Starfire; unaffected by gravity, as long as he gave it initial speed, it would continue moving forward indefinitely until blocked.
Su Qi also discovered the Starfire Skill was not constant; it would upgrade as his own Strength evolved.
Just like at the beginning, he could only snap his fingers, and the quantity was limited.
But as his Ascension progressed, each snap produced more and more Starfire.
He didn’t need the finger-snapping action anymore.
Su Qi didn’t rule out the possibility of remotely controlling Starfire in the future, nor did he rule out discovering other uses for it.
This was the information displayed on the question mark popping up from the ring, it seemed that Luo Shenfu had found something, directly prompting an exclamation in his mind.
However, the effect of this Concrete.
Made it seem a bit abstract to Su Qi.
"It seems you’ve got an idea."
Su Qi had noticed too, but he did not dig deeper; he could tell that Luo Shenfu was bursting with eagerness to help and make himself useful.
Although it seemed to Su Qi that there would be a big scene later, enough to keep him busy.
But for now, it didn’t matter.
Luo Shenfu exhaled slowly: "I’ve discovered that there are traces on the ground."
"Traces are the basis of all existence. In the Old Days, as long as there are traces, one can find direction."
"This is also why the Ancient Gate can be entered, once there are no traces, like with these black and white gates around, we will get completely lost, in total darkness..."
Luo Shenfu shared all this information with Su Qi: "Actually, Daozi, this information is still premature for you, after all, the Old Days are taboo, the more you know the more Ominous it is, it’s just that in this place, we have no choice but to touch upon these things."
