'Uncertain? That means there's still time.'
Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. "If the Fog Ashes are purified even further," he asked, "will the Ancient King be able to leave freely?"
Qing Cang, standing to one side, looked down at Su Chen on the ground. "If the middle-layer Fog Ashes can be purified," he responded, "then according to my Master's projections, the Flame Fire will be able to burn continuously. As long as there are no external triggers, it should be fine."
'So that's how it is,' Su Chen realized. 'Once the outer and middle layers of Fog Ashes are purified, the Flame Fire's intensity will be enough to overpower the core Fog Ashes.'
It wouldn't be a complete solution, but as long as the Fog Ashes' intensity didn't increase, the Flame Fire could keep it suppressed indefinitely.
