In this chapter, we learn that the alchemist has created a new type of beast flame, a life-transforming flame, which he calls the "extermination fire lotus." He also learns that he can use this flame to burn enemies, as well as to use it to make meat for himself and his family. The elder of the burning flame clan tells the alchemist that he has an order for him to hand over the management of the wormhole to the alchemists of the highest tier.
