Mo Xie strode himself through the ruins directly at the center of it all, there, he couldn't believe what he's seeing, a finely kept table, on top of it, a gaming board: "Is that..."

Mo Xie frowns, he's slightly speechless, because, at the table with two chairs, one of them is actually occupied with something that looked ethereal, a floating white and red light with the figure of an old man.

When Mo Xie came closer, the ethereal figure smiled: "It had been so long since I've seen a human, come, sit and have a chat with me."

Unlike its figure, its voice seemed normal, Mo Xie didn't even think as he walked and sat at the other end of the table: "What is it?"

"Well, don't be in a rush, I'm merely a speck of what I am before, but I should still be treated as an elder." The ethereal person smiled at Mo Xie but the latter didn't respond.

"Haaa..." He sighed: "Seriously, the youth of this generation is rus.h.i.+ng too much, when I was in that age, I..."

"Well, it's good to be rus.h.i.+ng some times, but that still depends on one's own flight."

"Time lost should be a time well spent, if one rushes too much, they will really lose what is in front of their eyes, the opportunity for love, strength, and many more."

He looked at Mo Xie and spoke: "If you look too far ahead, you might miss the important things in front of you."

"Like?" Mo Xie understood his words, but the old man being too talkative while he's running out of time.

The old man knew what Mo Xie's hinting, he nods his head in understanding it, but decided to play along, he placed his hand on his head: "Child, you may not believe it, but, I'm quite a great person from my past."

"Oh." Mo Xie replied half-heartedly, the only thing preventing him from leaving is, if there will be something the old man might hint him on, like a treasure buried deep within these ruins.

The old man sighed: "Just... just let me ask ten questions, and I can answer yours too, no matter how many it is."

Mo Xie: "..."

"8..." Seeing Mo Xie's silent rejection, the ghost decided to concede.

Mo Xie: "..."

"Okay, how about five, that's my bottom line, I've got millions of questions, and I'm only asking five, that should be enough."

Mo Xie looked at the ethereal ghost: "Oh, just waiting for you to ask your question, I didn't think you'd decrease it on your own."

The ethereal old wept silently, while the boy smiled at him and asked: "Okay, what is it that you wish to ask first?"

"Have you seen the So..." The ethereal ghost was about to ask multiple steps but remembering how shrewd the boy is, he asked: "In a single question, I may ask multiple ones too, step by step unto the main question, if you accept this one request of mine, then, I will reward you with something really special to me."

Mo Xie chuckles: "Old man, what you think maybe special to you might merely be trash for me. So why should I entertain something that might possibly a waste of time for me."

The old man sighed, a glint of light flashed within his eyes the next second: "Well, if you promise to do something for me, I can vow to the heavens, to disperse my soul, remove me from eternal life cycle, if you won't satisfy with this gift of mine! Well, not that it matters, you'll definitely be satisfied with it."

Mo Xie sighed: "Well, no need for drastic measures since you're really that confident, go on, ask away."

The old spectral ghost smiled: "Well, have you seen the Solar Blaze Empire?"

His reply immediately made Mo Xie realize that this person is part of the Soaring Blaze Empire, for whatever reason is, he didn't know why the Empire had been turned to Tribe instead.

Mo Xie shook his head: "Nope, but I've seen the Solar Blaze Tribe."

Ethereal Ghost: "..."

Mo Xie: "..."

Somewhat, Mo Xie is entertaining the old ghost, well, in his own way, he could somehow see himself, the time that he was alone with no one to talk from his previous lifetime. He couldn't help but sympathize.

"Haaaa..." The ethereal ghost sighed before continuing: "Well, how are they doing now?"

Mo Xie smiled, a casual and calm voice sounded next: "Soon to be extinct."

Ethereal Ghost: "..." He looked at Mo Xie quite speechlessly; 'How could you say that with a refres.h.i.+ng smile? Are you the one destroying my Tribe then?!'

But mostly, the kid in front of him could never topple the tribe, even if there's a hundred of him, is what he thought, and he also knows, that the tribe has a bigger problem than handling a kid.

Ethereal Ghost sighed; 'This child plays with his words too much...' As he sighed, he asked: "Are the void creatures doing something now?"

Mo Xie nods his head: "Yep, they are about to launch an all-out attack against the Solar Blaze Tribe."

When Mo Xie talked about it, it's like he's talking about some random event occurring when two children fought.

The ethereal ghost couldn't help but look at Mo Xie speechlessly: "child, grave matters shouldn't be spoken lightly."

Mo Xie chuckles: "Grave matters for you, not for me though, I am not from this land after all."

Although Mo Xie spoke of it like that, he merely wishes to use this chance, to get as much help as possible, well, it's a dual blade sword, it might backfire but still, he could use whatever he could get from this ghost as much as possible.

The ethereal ghost sighed, noticing Mo Xie's expression, although sly; 'This child... he's hiding it quite great, but he too is involved for some reason, and... to think he's doing this to a land strange to him.'

When the ethereal ghost reached up to this, he decided to play along: "Well, how about this, I can give as much aid as I could, you can use it to your heart's content, to protect my tribe and keep it afterward."

But somehow, it came to Mo Xie like he'd been figured out: "Tell me, who are you?"

"What are your ties within the Solar Blaze Tribe, to figure me out quite fastly, you surely aren't a weakling or a no named elder of the tribe."

Mo Xie asked seriously.

The ethereal ghost chuckles: "First, you should answer me, what are your ties with 'my' tribe."

Hearing the ghost's words, Mo Xie felt that he somehow immediately had an answer: "Well, the princess will be my queen, that answers it, I think."

Since he didn't lie, he also didn't feel guilty, but being seen through with by this old ghost didn't feel satisfying at all for Mo Xie.

"Saying half the truth and not saying the rest... I think both of us can safely a.s.sume that we don't mean each other harm." The ethereal ghost spoke casually, with a laugh, he looked at Mo Xie directly in the eyes.

"It's your turn for your introduction, I a.s.sume." Mo Xie asked, clearly agitated, nothing had been going on his flow against this old man.

The old ghost chuckles: "You could call me, one of the Kings of the Solar Blaze tribe, well, most likely, an Emperor of the Empire's era."

Mo Xie nods his head: "Well, you only told me half the truth too, so, we can call it even."

"That it is then." The Ethereal Ghost smiled.
