Before Goulong could answer, Ye Chen came close to Zhurong.

“What’s with this Earth Fire? Isn’t it the curse of the Wind God? Why can’t we find the problem with the curse in it?”

“It’s a big problem!” Zhurong ridiculed. “Before the appearance of the Primitive Continent, there had never been Fire Spiritual Energy in the Deep Sea Water Palace. Naturally, there wasn’t any on the continent that rose from it. However, the Earth Fire brought Fire Spiritual Energy to the continent. That was how various types of fire-type mutated beasts appeared on the continent. If it contained a curse, how could it nurture these mutated beasts?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment.

The first fire-type mutated beasts all came from the Sun Celestial Heavens without exception. Regardless of their level, they all had one common characteristic: they were all birds. It could even be said that mutated beasts with wings at that time definitely came from the Sun Celestial Heavens.

Compared to now, Ye Chen did not even need to open the Wasteland Remembrance to know that a considerable number of them did not have this characteristic among the fire-type mutated beasts he had seen. This portion of mutated beasts must have appeared on the ground.

Other than the Fire Spiritual Energy that wandered in the Wind God’s corpse being forced out of his meridians, it could not be converted because it did not have a body. Therefore, it formed Earth Fire and emitted Spiritual Energy. After it reached the ground, it affected some mutated beasts, causing a fire-type mutated beast race to appear on the ground.

If there was indeed a curse in the Earth Fire, those mutated beasts would indeed not be safe.

If the curse in the Earth Fire came from the same source and couldn’t cause an explosion by attacking each other, the mutated beasts born on the ground wouldn’t trigger the curse even if they fought with each other. When they encounter mutated beasts from the Sun Celestial Heavens, they should still be triggered.

However, when Goulong’s seniors drilled into the Wind God’s Divine Realm and even passed through the Earth Fire, the curse wasn’t triggered. This was indeed an abnormal phenomenon.

According to Goulong, the triggering of the curse was related to the will of the Wind God. This dead god didn’t want the curse to bring about more fighting, so it used its will to suppress it. However, this phenomenon only happened to the Human-Faced Snakes who had accepted the attribute change and the protection of the Wind God. The other mutated beasts shouldn’t have the chance to receive such preferential treatment.

Therefore, where the curse in the Earth Fire went had indeed become a mystery.

Goulong couldn’t explain it either.

“The curse in the Earth Fire didn’t attack other mutated beasts before the body of the Wind God was destroyed. I know this, but the curse still existed at that time. Later on, the Wind God’s body was completely burned away and the Earth Fire started to spread underground. We were worried that there would be a huge problem with the spread of the curse.” It recalled the past and said, “But before the Earth Fire spread to the surface, the first Sky Domain we mentioned appeared… I took the risk to open the Divine Realm and went to the Sky Domain to check the situation through it. I discovered this problem. The curse in the Earth Fire inexplicably disappeared!”

“But the curse has always existed in the Dragon Claw Grass that absorbed the Earth Fire?” Ye Chen asked.

“Yes, ever since then, they were the only things I could detect that contained the Curse of the Wind God,” Goulong replied without hesitation. “And there’s one more thing I think is related to it. When I was advancing from the Divine Realm, I felt that the size of the Earth Fire had shrunk.”

As it spoke, it used its claws to draw on a new Spirit Stone on the ground.

“Let’s say that the wind vein in the Divine Realm was originally in this location. The four branches that formed later are here.” It used its claws to simply carve a long line on the Spirit Stone. Then, it drew the corresponding locations of the branches and pointed at the various positions on it. “After my kind sealed the Divine Realm, we didn’t completely stop paying attention to it. Instead, we set up observation points in these positions to specially observe the spread of the Earth Fire. According to the records, the Earth Fire had already expanded to such a scale.”

The range it drew had clearly become a large oval area that enveloped the Divine Realm.

“The original size of the Earth Fire has already spread to more than half of the underground of the Primitive Continent. However, when I went down to the Divine Realm, I realized that the Earth Fire had already begun to shrink. It has turned into many small pieces of Earth Fire in this place, covering less than half of its original area. The threat is far less than before.” Goulong said, “I suspect that this has something to do with the Dragon Claw Grass absorbing a portion of the Earth Fire.”

Zhurong let out a cry of surprise.

“That powerful?!” It sighed in surprise. “I remember that the Sky Domain is mainly deep. It’s not that big and there aren’t many floating islands. How can such a small amount of grass suck away more than half of the Earth Fire? In that case, could it be that it sucked away all the curses?”

Goulong shook its head.

“I’m not sure about that, but I know that the curse on them was extremely heavy at that time. I couldn’t use the Wind God’s consciousness to purify it at all with my strength. However, this situation changed later on.” It recalled. “It should have been a long time later when I learned that a new mutated beast had appeared in the Sky Domain, so I went over to patrol again. I realized that the curse in the Dragon Claw Grass of the Sky Domain had weakened. It was at that time.”

It mentioned the Windy Bird.

Ye Chen had seen the known characteristics of this mutated beast countless times. However, there was too little information because it was difficult to get close to the living area. The records of how it appeared were completely blank.

“Have you come into contact with the Windy Birds?” Ye Chen asked, “Can you detect if they have any curses on them?”

Goulong’s gaze suddenly became a little mysterious.

“I’ve interacted with them before. They’re relatively gentle to visitors who have no ill intentions,” it replied. “However, after I investigated them, I made a shocking discovery. Don’t be frightened.”

Its mysterious behavior made Ye Chen especially speechless.

“You speak as if you’ve never said anything less explosive,” he mocked. “Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

Goulong was a little unconvinced. It pretended to ignore him and leaned towards Zhurong.

“I’ve verified what I said several times.” It lowered its voice and said, “Not to mention that the Spiritual Energy of the Windy Birds is pure Wind Spiritual Energy, every one of them contains a certain amount of curse in its dormant state. Moreover, the direction of the Spiritual Energy in their bodies is completely the same as the direction of the wind vein I sensed!”
