"This Xu, is he the Fire God?"
Andrew had this suspicion not only because of the old man's peculiar expression when mentioning "Xu."
But also because he distinctly felt the power of the "Blood of the Fire God" he had absorbed not long ago resonate within him upon hearing the name "Xu."
Just like the reaction one has when hearing their own name.
"Yes, Xu is the Fire God."
The old man sighed, this time he didn't hold back, and said, "As for me, you guessed correctly, my soul's essence is human. The whale is my body's vessel in this life, but I indeed used to be human. I knew Li and Xu."
Andrew had initially speculated based on limited information that the old man before him was a "whale with a human soul."
He was surprised that the old man confessed directly.
"So you were friends with the Water God Li and the Fire God Xu?" Andrew probed.
"We were once friends," the old man said, "but later, driven by jealousy, I caused their deaths."
