Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1387: Calamity Strikes (2)

What a familiar scene.

The phenomenon above Wen Li’s head almost makes one believe that the Calamity Eyes of the Abandonment King have reappeared.

Unfortunately, it’s far off the mark.

Fu Qian is quite clear that it’s not the manifestation of his own authority.

Previous experiences have proven correct; the ranking of the Nightmare Corridor is quite exaggerated.

When tainted by becoming the Nightmare Worm, even authority is shielded outside.

As for what’s before him, Fu Qian can somewhat guess.

"Just a little trick. My current state is a bit special."

"I see..."

Receiving the explanation, Wen Li’s brows instantly relaxed.

Though the brain’s gyri are somewhat smooth in the dreamscape, her sharp mind still grasps the meaning behind these words.

For someone like Mr. Fu, a genuine Divine Being, every move can easily impact the surroundings.

If he harbors any emotional anomaly, it’s likely unwise to perceive it rashly.

Considering her injuries, this possibility is clearly not insignificant.

The other party sensed her arrival, actively blocking this aspect, guiding her away from attention.

It’s perfectly reasonable.

After all, with Mr. Fu’s sensitivity, detecting her in advance is only natural.

Self-persuasion completed smoothly, Wen Li covered her mouth and chuckled, doubts completely dispelled.

"Indeed, the citizens of Shangjing are overly optimistic; with just this move, new geniuses have no chance against the Grand Fate Ming Emperor..."

After a jest, she did not hide her curiosity.

"So what little trick is this? I’ve never seen Mr. Fu use it before."

Indeed.

At that moment, Fu Qian was observing her head, confirming a certain suspicion.

As Miss Wen’s recognition conflict dissipated, the speed of the phantom eyes opening rapidly slowed, even starting to close in reverse.

It is not the authority but rather a hint from the warehouse about the stability of the dreamscape.

"Simple, ascended to the Second Phase."

Facing Wen Li’s question, Fu Qian nodded slightly, responding casually in the next moment.

...

In that instant, as Wen Li absorbed the information, the eyes that seemed about to close suddenly opened again, faster than before.

"You... you are already Second Phase?"

The perceiver’s eyes were equally wide, perfectly illustrating what it means to be dumbfounded.

Indeed, it is a representation of clarity in thought, the warehouse truly made an effort this time.

Praising silently, Fu Qian was very satisfied with the test result.

The reason for revealing the Second Phase information wasn’t to change her address, just to give a little scare.

As a rising star in the Supernatural Realm with extensive connections, Wen Li is highly aware of the difficulty in ascending beyond Demigod.

Under this incredible shock, the eyes atop her head open even faster.

One can even feel the unusual changes occurring around them.

In such discord with recognition, Miss Wen’s doubt about her situation is skyrocketing.

In other words, she’s realizing she’s in a dreamscape, and hence, is turning towards awakening.

Once awake, undoubtedly the dream built around her will collapse instantly.

As the Evil God, I will lose a chance to wreak havoc on the world.

Though there’s no detailed task guidance, the warehouse is providing as much assistance as possible.

For instance, manifesting the instability of the dreamscape to facilitate control over the strength.

"Barely at the ranking, but far from reaching the strength."

Fu Qian didn’t let this heartfelt gesture go unfulfilled, casually adding a line as the eyes on Miss Wen’s head were about to open into spheres.

...

The phantom eyes flickered for a while but eventually slowed their opening pace.

Wen Li’s face of surprise matched.

"But... it’s only been a few months!"

Though still full of sighs, relative to the rocket-like ascent to Second Phase, the existence below the legendary Divine Beings sits alive before her.

A Divine Envoy who barely touches the edge but still lacks is slightly easier to accept.

Fu Qian’s supplementary explanation successfully helped her doubts stop.

Of course, emotions are still stirring, and amid this surge, her mind even turned slightly faster.

"Was the Chief Yuan’s departure related to this matter?"

"Did you see the opportunity to advance and ask her for help?"

That’s actually right, although Chief Yuan’s role clarity isn’t exactly defined.

Fu Qian nodded slightly, acknowledging Wen Li’s guess.

"Talent comes replacement after another, you youngsters advance with lightning speed, how could I slack off?"

Completely different concepts, okay...

Even familiar with Fu Qian’s style, Miss Wen still couldn’t hold her inner sarcasm.

Even if Chief Yuan’s evaluation considered her speed as inhuman, the ascension beyond Demigod is not the same as the lower rankings at all, no wonder, it’s Mr. Fu!

...

Very good.

Fu Qian naturally noticed Wen Li’s emotions and didn’t rush to address them.

Shock and disbelief are two different matters; at this moment, the phantom eyes on Wen Li’s head are still slowly closing.

This represents that, despite her surprise, she is already on a certain level accepting the reality of his Divine Envoy ranking.

And these are not the only changes.

With the previous fluctuations, Fu Qian felt his control over this dreamscape increased.

As the Master of the Dream Realm who has poisoned countless innocent souls, he is quite sensitive to this aspect.

Though far from governing the dreamscape, the clarity of things around him and the boundary of the dream have significantly enhanced.

While keeping the dream intact, deepening contact with the dreamer seems to gradually allow one’s imprint to erode, thereby increasing control.

Such changes are undoubtedly a good foundation for breaking barriers, at least improving the dream’s resilience.

Smiling at his insights, Fu Qian acknowledged the legitimacy in this full-bore Evil God behavior.

And at this time, Wen Li finally refrained from the urge to retort, and instead appeared more lively.

"I’m glad to see Mr. Fu can still joke. It’s said that as ranking continues to boost, humanity becomes negligible..."

Was it that because this mood was good?

Fu Qian blinked.

In theory, he should push further, but...

"Eve."

In the next moment, he uttered a name and smiled mysteriously.

Yeah!

After realizing what he said, Wen Li’s mood just descending from the shock and her mental resistance already bolstered, froze instantly.

In a waking state might not matter, but in this dreamscape, it’s clear this name stirs strong subconscious impact.

Within her vision, the phantom eyes that had been slowly closing suddenly burst open, then everything around them shatters in an instant.

No wonder it’s the name rooted in years of resonant will, Lady Eve’s name turned out to be a safety word-level effective.

Seeing such wonderful results, Fu Qian did not move until a familiar scene surfaced before him.

Before acting as the Evil God, let’s meet old friends.

Brother Interlocutor is a bit low-profile today.
