At the end of the world, Taiyuan gathered a large body of survivors and put together an official organization. The good days did not last. In one rainstorm, three Firestarter Spirits walked out of the depths of the Taihang range.

Nobody knew where they had come from.

But the three Firestarter Spirits' fighting power was terrible. Through the Taihang range country they hunted evolved beasts, and they began growing without a stop.

They killed humans as well.

They drove Taiyuan's human survivor organization straight out. But the human survivors would not accept it, because Taiyuan is a large oasis and its Activity concentration is far above that of other regions.

He found that although a Firestarter Spirit's fighting power was terrible, its thinking seemed somewhat muddled, like some primitive form of life, with nothing in its mind but plain hunting and feeding.

Through their unbroken hunting, the Firestarter Spirits began to evolve.

He hunted evolved beasts for their jin cores and gave them to one of the Firestarter Spirits, and by trying that over and over, the Firestarter Spirit actually became able to communicate with him.

First he invested the Firestarter Spirit as the Taiyuan King, so it would understand that these humans of his were all its subordinates, that they could supply it with food and spare it the trouble of hunting.

Then he urged the Taiyuan…
