In their crude culture, their lives begin the moment they break through the soil, and without the ability to move, they cannot be considered complete lives, naturally not counting as part of the tribe.

After inspecting the situation of the Rock Soul Tribe, Luo Yan then took a tour around Iron Teeth City.

If the den of Soul of Rock and Earth is the reactor of the Maze, then Iron Teeth City and the surrounding area would be the future energy control hub of the Maze.

Currently, his overall planning for the Maze is mostly centered around the concept of "energy self-sufficiency."

Only by doing so can he save the precious Power of Faith and use it where it's more deserving.

Such as enhancing himself, Players, and demons' combat strength.

While Luo Yan was reviewing the various strange and extraordinary artifacts designed by the Life Professional Players of the Great Graveyard, Xino Dragon, who had just returned from the lower levels of the Maze, strode towards him.

"How was it? Did I play the part convincingly?"

As he spoke, his bullish face was filled with smugness.

Compared to the arrogance he displayed when they first met, this guy had completely changed his tune, transforming into the image of a Demon King's minion.

In fact, his indecisive nature was indeed not cut out for being a Demon King; he could easily be led by the nose.

Xino himself also realized this to some extent.

And this was precisely one of the reasons why he resolved to follow Luo Yan.

Not only to overcome the curse, but he was also eager to find out what made this human stronger than him, aside from being a bit smarter.

Looking at the boastful Xino, Luo Yan smiled and nodded approvingly.

"You did very well, even better than I had expected."

Seeing the Demon King nod in approval, Xino's face immediately showed an eager expression.

"What about my issue..."

Luo Yan nodded.

"Of course, I will help you. However, as I told you from the beginning, to break the curse of Chaos, in the end, it's something you must overcome on your own."

Xino said gravely.

"I know, and I will make an effort, of course, since it concerns me... but you have to tell me how."

"I was just about to tell you."

Watching Xino's demeanor become more serious, Luo Yan paused for a moment, recalling the knowledge he had seen in the Padric family's library and combining it with his own understanding, he continued.

"The root of Chaos is the void of faith. When we allow Extraordinary Power to run rampant unconstrained, Chaos finds the opportunity to spread to us. You must have realized, Chaos cannot directly affect your body; its corruption is more a matter on the unsettled parts of your spirit, such as amplifying the bloodthirsty aspect in your heart."

"Therefore, to resolve the curse of Calmandes, there is only one way—that is to directly confront the contaminated part deep within your spiritual world."

Xino fell into deep thought.

But Luo Yan didn't expect that thick-headed block of elm to figure out anything, so he shared his own experience.

"Before you came here, the Deceitful Fog Nuoville had set its sights on this place, and many people here were affected by Chaos, becoming 'Madmen'."

Xino immediately asked.

"And then? How did you defeat the curse of the Madman?"

Luo Yan continued.

"We used unity to break through the lies, and the alliance ended the chaos... Of course, the key was that we defeated It, forcing It to close the Gate of Chaos."

Xino looked at Luo Yan, puzzled.

"But I already won against that Ogre with chains on its belly... I personally chopped off his head with an axe!"

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't have become the Chosen of Chaos," Luo Yan looked into his eyes and continued, "You've mistaken the opponent you need to defeat, or rather, both you and the Ogre you defeated are pawns of Calmandes; it makes no difference to him who wins... This is the essence of the Flame of Destruction; they burn not only themselves but also others, and victory or defeat is not of His concern."

Unconcerned with victory or defeat?

How the hell do you win then—

No, that's wrong.

The moment he started considering winning and losing, he seemed to have already lost!

Because the victor would become the new Chosen, and the corruption of Chaos would keep spreading until all the fuel was burned out!

A drop of cold sweat slid down Xino's forehead.

"So... who is the opponent I should defeat? Don't tell me it's—"

Without a second thought, Luo Yan said.

"Do I need to say it? Of course, it's Calmandes, the 'Flame of Destruction' in the flesh."
