Fire.
It burned the green shade of deep, unsettling greed, fueled by dreams, hopes, goals, and the future within the hearts of countless cultivators. A beautiful thought flitted through the minds of almost all who heard the issued bounty: "What if?"
What if they claimed Su Yi's head?
What if they obtained that glorious reward?
What if!
WHAT IF!
It always starts with a simple question, snowballing down the hill of potential possibilities, layered again and again by hope and avarice. The only saving grace that kept the galaxy from erupting into raving madness with rampant desire was the target of the bounty and his recent feats.

While he barely survived such an intense clash after losing that game of Mystics, he had done so as a mere Mystic Overlord.
