...

Bain's voice trembled as he solemnly looked at the black patterns on Luo De's arm, but he dared not meet Luo De's gaze.

"Are you a divine envoy sent by the gods, my lord?"

Luo De looked at Bain, who was kneeling on the ground, and finally shook his head.

"I am no one's envoy, Bain, I am who I am, belonging to no one."

Initially, Luo De wanted to portray a divine envoy, but suddenly felt a distaste for the title.

He felt indifferent to religious matters but wasn't averse to them.

He just disliked being anyone's envoy.

Because this god did nothing yet could still tower over him.

This feeling made Luo De very unhappy, unwilling to bow his head.

Bain was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Luo De spoke again,

"But as long as you come to the town and work diligently for me, I can grant the legacy to you anew, letting it pass down in your tribe."

Bain lifted his head, his eyes filled with awe.

"Thank you, then... then I..."

"You must be worthy of this legacy, and to be recognized by it, you must endure the searing pain."

Luo De warned, "It's a pain more intense than being engulfed in flames."

"I just experienced it, it's torture worse than death."

Luo De added.

"I can, great lord."

Bain's gaze was firm, "I'm not afraid of pain, sir."

"To receive the blessing, I'm willing to endure any price."

Luo De nodded in satisfaction and took out the engraved Flame Gem.

"Extend your hand, Bain."

Bain presented his rough hands to Luo De.

"Are you ready?"

Luo De's voice was low and solemn.

Bain swallowed hard, "I... I'm ready, my lord."

Luo De could hear him tremble, unsure if it was excitement or fear.

Either way, Bain was willing to endure it.

Luo De pressed Bain's palm, firmly pressing the Flame Gem between their hands.

"Remember, this is no ordinary legacy."

Luo De's voice grew heavier,

"I'll remind you again, it will tear your flesh, burn your marrow, but you must never give up."

"I will never tarnish the glory of the Giant Hoof Tribe!"

Bain nodded heavily.

"Good."

Luo De took a deep breath and began to channel his inner power.

The searing energy surged from his palm, like a molten torrent flooding into the Flame Gem.

Even though it was held in both Luo De and Bain's hands, the crimson glow still shone through Luo De's hand!

In the next instant, the scorching energy drilled out of Bain's body.

"Ah—!"

Bain let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His arm instantly turned red, as if it were steel scorched by intense fire.

Smoke began to rise from his skin, and the hair instantly burned, emitting a nauseating scorched odor.

Luo De could clearly see flames spreading along his veins, and Bain's whole body began to tremble!

But Bain gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the subsequent screams back deep into his throat.

There was only the heavy breath constantly huffing from his nostrils, like a wounded beast's low growl.

"Hang in there!"

Luo De quickly reminded him,

"This process is long, but you must endure it. As long as you endure it, you can obtain the true legacy!"

"I... I will..."

Bain forced out a few words with difficulty, sweat turning into patches of white steam before it could gather.

The flames continued to ravage inside him, longer than Luo De.

Bain's upper body started trembling uncontrollably, his body leaning forward.

He propped himself onto the ground with his other hand, muscular arms bulging with veins, nails digging deep into the floor.

Luo De's hand holding the Flame Gem remained motionless, solid as a rock.

Time seemed frozen, and every second felt like an eternity of agony.

Finally, the crimson flames began to fade.

Black patterns, the same as those on Luo De, appeared on Bain's robust arm, emitting a faint energy.

In the next moment, Bain could no longer support himself, collapsing heavily to the ground.

"Did I succeed?"

His voice was as weak as a mosquito.

Luo De slowly nodded, a satisfied smile on his face,

"It looks like you did. Take a rest first, and feel the changes within you."

Bain wasted no time.

He struggled to get up, carefully inspecting his arm.

The black patterns meandered and twined on his skin, slightly pulsating like living beings.

He could feel the surge of heat inside.

It was a feeling of unprecedented power, as if his hands could command the fiercest flames in the world.

"It succeeded..."

Though Bain's face was exhausted, the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden.

"It really succeeded!"

He suddenly knelt before Luo De, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.

"Thank you, great lord! You have let us Yak People regain the true forging legacy!

You are our eternal master, and we will always serve you!"

Luo De nodded.

"You're tired too, go back and rest,"

A glow of expectation flickered in his eyes.

"After resting well, we have matters to arrange."

"Yes, my lord."

The Yak People struggled to get up from the ground, saluted Luo De, and retreated.

Meanwhile, Luo De called for Leia, asking for dinner to be prepared in the kitchen promptly.

After coming back, he started to busy himself with important matters, and his stomach started rumbling.

...

...

In the evening, the sky was dim.

On the main road outside the manor, Bain, who had just completed his awakening, walked unsteadily.
