Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1372: The Fallen Guest Empire (31)

Going to all lengths, is it really meaningful to seek out the true return of Leytin with painstaking effort?

For finding the Witch within less than a day remaining?

The answer is yes.

For instance, the mission objective of this trip has acquired a higher exploitation value.

This is a nightmare that has existed since before Doomsday arrived, and as the source of power convergence, the agent even possesses self-will, undoubtedly making it a prime Observer of the real world.

It should know far more than The Sect, the Bloodline Clan, and even those indistinguishable like the Fallen Star Clan and the Awakeners.

And for such a cautious existence, the best way to exploit it is to make it strive for survival.

For example, by sharing its own countdown.

This is one of the wonderful applications conceived as early as feeling the side effects of instability after swallowing the fragment.

And to achieve this, the first step is to lure the person out.

Considering the limited time, pretending to be a crazy gourmet in the face of the Holy Relic to make it seem like there’s a chance, undoubtedly is a good choice.

At the same time, the entire process is best if it’s natural, like the game with the Fallen Star Quartet.

Devour, sneak attack, and be seen through to set traps, using big moves to escape at all costs.

Among them, Lady Xia was the most surprising, making this process lose control so naturally.

Otherwise, more focus would need to be on managing the strength in action.

As for now, the hooked fish shall pay the price.

…

“Find what? Stop this self-destruction immediately, I will let you go.”

It is reassuring to hear that the other party is indeed very anxious.

“I said I can’t stop because I can’t even lock this connection.”

Unfortunately, Fu Qian’s response remained ruthless.

“And you need to find the source of this destruction, using anything you can.”

“You lunatic!”

The deadly ambush that was almost certain turned into such a pitfall in an instant, even though the tone was eerie, the endless resentment could still be heard.

Fu Qian felt even more satisfied at this moment.

Having a humanized desire for survival is the best.

“Do you really think I can’t destroy you directly?”

Of course, the disadvantage is the emergence of reckless emotions.

“Really think so, not to mention the difficulty of killing me in this situation, you need someone to share this curse.”

Unfortunately, the deterrent factor, such as verbal expressions, always has the smallest impact.

Fu Qian’s response did not even show hesitation.

“I am quite familiar with it, so I can quite understand how you feel right now.”

“…This is your purpose, isn’t it?”

“You’re looking for a way to lift the curse, you’re not really coveting the power of the Holy Relic.”

Concise and effective communication successfully plunged the agent into silence, and when he spoke again, he already showed a hint of enlightenment.

Unfortunately, this implicit regretful enlightenment, besides expressing that he failed in the battle of deterrence, holds no meaning.

“Are you sure you want to waste time on such questions?”

Fu Qian showed no emotional fluctuation.

This crazy blood loss targets the essential self, precisely the part of himself that was largely eroded away just now, a gift he gave to the other party.

And they have become sources of contamination, making the agent a bloodletting target as well.

…

“Originating from high-level power from the world you come from.”

It was evident that, recognizing the critical situation, the agent succeeded in recognizing it well.

Specifically, under Fu Qian’s reminder, he timely corrected the two erroneous paths of “mindless revenge” and “dying but understanding,” concentrating his strength to seek a glimmer of hope.

“Agreed.”

And Fu Qian also displayed respect for professionalism without hesitation, acknowledging his judgment.

“But the power is too high-leveled, and I can’t track and identify its essence in a short time.”

Unfortunately, the agent seemed a bit flustered, emphasizing the objective difficulties the next moment.

Given the current situation and his performance, Fu Qian actually believed he wasn’t being lazy on purpose.

“Then guess, I believe you know that world well, list the possible options, and then use the process of elimination.”

To this, Fu Qian casually gave guidance, indicating not to panic and to make good use of methodology.

“Besides, this power is likely to stem from the moment when ancient Leytin reappeared a month ago.”

“The law of rebirth of the Stars Association.”

Reassuringly, after proposing a possible screening condition and gaining guidelines, the agent indeed swiftly executed the result.

Not only did he not refute the statement of ancient Leytin, but he also mentioned the “rebirth” of the Law.

Sure enough, both these things have issues.

While Fu Qian analyzed the information contained, he momentarily stretched his right arm forward.

However, this did not stem from his personal intention but was due to the agent, also riddled with scars, extending his right arm.

And with this gesture, a familiar gray-white mist emerged out of nowhere.

Of course, even with color codes, the mist is obviously indistinguishable.

The reason Fu Qian called it familiar is because of a recently seen ruin that loomed vaguely— a small town outside Leytin city.

No wonder it’s a nightmare Observer; not only does it casually pierce through the channel to reality, but it also seems to have a good grasp of that world.

However, instead of stepping across the dimension, the next moment saw the agent’s body gradually becoming indistinguishable, ultimately merging into the thick mist.

Yet the person was still in place, Fu Qian was quite certain of that.

Because his body almost underwent the simultaneous change, becoming closely linked with the mist.

Did he become a sacrificed pawn?

Could the mist have a direct connection with the Law?

Quickly analyzing this scene, Fu Qian did not raise any objections.

Because this was one of the backup ways he approved.

In the original plan, if this task could not be contributed, the next step was to start from the mist.

This worldwide, integrated existence.

Of course, agent brother clearly was not interested in sharing the reasons for making the same judgment right now.

“I now believe that you indeed have survival instincts, rather than being truly crazy, and it seems you’ve provided a valuable suggestion.”

He chose to share the results with great practical spirit, though he actually didn’t even need to share.

Fu Qian, influenced into a quasi-sacrificed state, also had already experienced that special feeling.

The blood drawn from his body caused ripples in the mist.

The manifestation of life’s passing became more concrete.

But it wasn’t enough, still weak, unable to pinpoint a direction.

“Keep at it.”

Thus, Fu Qian decisively signaled to avoid complacency, and strive further.

“There’s fundamentally no way, it’s too weak, we wouldn’t find it until we perished.”

As expected, agent brother emphasized the difficulty once again.

“Do not easily conclude that there’s no problem that cannot be solved.”

Fu Qian once again provided ideological guidance.

“Too weak to track, wouldn’t you think of making it stronger?”

“…Do you know what you’re talking about?”

Agent brother seemed to regret the earlier assertion that he was not crazy.

“I know, and knowing that you have ideas, yet still wasting time expressing emotions.”

Fu Qian’s stance was steadfast as losing one’s humanity.

“…Although I can’t sever the connection, I certainly can amplify the loss.”

After two seconds of silence, the agent finally got back on track.

“In that kind of scenario, it might indeed make tracing easier, but death would also come at a much faster pace, and once it starts, it can’t be undone, are you really sure?”

“Affirmative.”

Fu Qian’s answer came without the slightest hesitation.

“Go ahead and do it.”
