Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1545: Chapter 1540: Reminiscence

Reminiscence Record?

It seems like I understand now the peculiar linguistic style in the task description and summary.

Also, the term "Shadow of the Past" in the kill statistics and the roles appearing in the task, essentially suggests a journey into a past memory?

This can to some extent explain why I was in that state upon entry.

As a character not invited, the Warehouse must have adapted me in the most effortless way to fit in.

From the description, the item Luyi relies on is evidently quite extraordinary.

Memory is unreliable because it is not reality.

Even if everything seen is accurately depicted, the causal relationships among them are no longer stringent, allowing for a reversal possibility.

This makes the dilemmas created by the "Reminiscence Record" turn consensus into resources, heading towards the story’s ending.

What you believe is reality.

Of course, if it’s just this point, it’s hard to say there’s a fundamental difference from a dream with special rules.

Its true peculiarity lies in its ultimate ability to solidify into reality, creating something from nothing.

At a certain moment, all investigations will cause the Face of the Divine Human to accurately appear on the Royal Family’s offspring, and this reminiscence comes to a close.

And in reality, Luyi will indeed acquire that face.

The specific form is uncertain, a mask? Or simply growing on like it did on me?

But in any case, he successfully bypassed the constraints of reality, while everyone, including Mr. Li Sr., will remain in the Reminiscence Record, providing a foundation for that face’s existence.

...

Apart from this, the task summary specially emphasizes "regardless of thoughts or existence foundation", which is undeniably frightening upon reflection.

The former is understandable, meaning that upon completion, no matter what role you played in the consensus, or even if you disagreed with most people’s views, the outcome remains unchanged.

Because you still become part of its composition.

As for the latter... it seems Ranking is also a kind of existence foundation?

As long as you’re in, whether a Demigod or in the Second Phase, the end is the same?

Furthermore, isn’t it also a kind of special existence foundation that the Warehouse sent me here?

If it fails, do I have to stay inside too?

That would be a bit exaggerated, didn’t the Warehouse give an extra warning?

Although as the task person, I always have the professional trait of treating "each one as the last one", its impact is not that huge.

Besides, it seems Luyi indeed couldn’t endure the insult and tore up the ticket himself in the end.

And even though his name is quite unfamiliar, and I haven’t acknowledged any related terms from the Native Council, thanks to my thirst for knowledge, the summary eventually gave another name—Rom.

Be it Dunis or Ye Island, this name has appeared more than once, along with the Native Council.

Did a flaw get exposed?

Was this technical task indeed plotted by this competitor?

Of course, they once again suffered losses caused by their peers.

Simultaneously, the task summary particularly detailed a fact, that Luyi gave up the second chance to use the Reminiscence Record.

Overall three uses, having used one before, I’m very curious about what he did with it, and which fellows became sacrifices, becoming everlasting remembrance.

The Native Council truly has many good things.

Additionally, I wonder whether the three usage opportunities are the total power remaining for the Reminiscence Record, or if it counts separately for each user.

The special reward from this task might provide some reference.

Fu Qian’s will locked onto the [Blank Reminiscence Ledger Page].

...

[Name: Blank Reminiscence Ledger Page]

[Type: Special Item]

[An ancient but blank parchment, with jagged edges as if torn by force.

Though no content is recorded on it, its mere existence is the best interpretation of endless bygone years.

With a simple description, write down the start and end of a story, anchoring the will within a certain range, you can initiate a shared reminiscence.

The maximum number of people is twelve, not exceeding the Second Phase; the user may join or enter in any state they ever existed in.

Under the push of consensus, when pre-written key results emerge, the reminiscence automatically ends and absorbs everyone into the story.

Strong enough consensus contradictory to the original result, the reminiscence automatically fails and may distort affecting reality.

The controller can terminate at any time.

Can only be used once and counts in the Reminiscence Record’s three-use limit, no way to bypass it]

[Remark: Fleeting Years, Historical Chronicle]

As expected, like the legendary magic lamp, is the usage limit personal?

Appreciating the texture of the parchment in his hand, Fu Qian felt immense satisfaction finding the answer so swiftly.

Brother Luyi’s three-use limit is indeed personal.

But even so, this wool extracted effortlessly by me is enough to prove the item’s mightiness.

It can be called a compulsory labor divine artifact.

Whether willing or not, once chosen, you are granted a fantastic opportunity etched in history.

Once inside, every exploration only strengthens your imprisoning cage.

Even if you complete the project, freedom isn’t restored, instead, you remain eternally inscribed in the record of merits.

Unless during the process, you unveil the user’s true intent, leading the consensus to the contradictory direction like I did.

The reason Brother Luyi pulled the plug seems found as well—"may distort affect reality."

With the situation beyond salvation, the man perhaps didn’t want me to gain any benefits, thus decisively flipped the table.

Could it indeed be possible to steal the fruit?

As expected, such behavior is most detestable.

Yet even so, I still obtained benefits.

One beginning, one ending; using this Reminiscence Ledger Page is quite simple.

Meanwhile, the task summary reveals that under Lord Luyi’s miraculous hands, Benjamin Larea has already escaped the "Curse" and regained health.

Li He and the other person arriving later, their actions will now genuinely become visits to the newborn.

Lord Aike, who arrives even later, will also conclude that the Larea Family’s new heir poses no threat.

The world returns to peace again, and the victims will not even have psychological shadows.

But Fu Qian confidently believes, having achieved this merit, Luyi might retreat from the worldly society first thing.

[Today’s work is complete, you may now leave the Warehouse, this week’s work progress 3/4]

"Order of Blood..."

Mumbling to himself, Fu Qian placed the ledger page on the table and donned the Messenger.
