Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2210: Chapter 2205: Great Defining Technique

Oh? This is quite interesting.

The Witch’s last remark undoubtedly has a bit of a fairy tale style.

However, neither Fu Qian, who was narrating, nor Fu Qian, who was listening, took it lightly.

"Other Shore?"

Amid the praise, Fu Qian directly confirmed the key point.

"Other Shore, a very clear term."

And the Witch’s tone was certain.

Two indisputable Superior Beings earnest in their discussion over the wording used in the story.

"Although it sounds like erosion happened long ago, we indeed brought some change to this world."

With a light sigh, Fu Qian lamented the mystery of the world, completely understanding the Witch’s previous reaction.

"Do you also think it’s related to the place we stayed before?"

Slightly nodding, the Witch knew the Knight shared her thoughts.

"There is, and I think I vaguely have some ideas on how the relationship was formed."

Furnace, Angel of Comfort, Other Shore, Fu Qian recalled a place deeply entangled with him, the fall sorrow of the Holy Grail Sect.

"Remember the last time we met, I asked you what would happen if the people from the Other Shore walked out?"

...

For a children’s book, the term "Other Shore" somewhat does not match the style.

So much so that the moment Fu Qian heard it, he captured this anomaly and associated it with his recent experiences.

The core reason for being able to successfully visit the World Within the Painting was naturally the Witch’s help.

When he lost Inspiration and couldn’t lock onto it, he directly went to invite her personally.

Given the impassable chasm, the Witch’s means of arriving was offering herself through the Bone Chain, sacrificing what seemed to be the flesh of a Superior Being to provide an anchor point.

Ultimately proved that the place he chose, the "Furnace," indeed seemed to be Divine remnants, successfully fulfilling this duty.

Then, as a result, the Witch descended successfully as requested, helped manifest the blood left on this side of the World Within the Painting, allowing him to lock onto the target without the need for Inspiration, and ultimately cross over.

And as a consumable, Zhao Ran’s certified "Other Shore," was completely Annihilated.

The process was clear, and it sounded like there was no problem.

But now, it seems that a point he was curious about at the time seems to have been confirmed.

That is, the reason the Witch could descend in a relatively good state was likely due to the inherent special nature of the "Other Shore."

The Witch herself also mentioned that she couldn’t sense anything beyond the Other Shore.

And it appears that this special nature, not just those displayed at the time, seems to have continued afterward.

At that time, he confirmed with the Witch a question, that is, the people inside the Furnace marked by "Other Shore", what would happen if they left?

The Witch’s answer was, given the pure and extreme nature of the Other Shore, that situation would likely cause it to directly collapse.

Because those marked, even if they went out, would likely retain certain attributes that would be obliterated, thereby affecting definitions inside and outside the Other Shore, forming a paradox, meaning no distinction between inside and outside.

As an inherently dead thing, it could not withstand such impact.

And such a scenario seems to align with the Witch’s previous reiteration — the Interlocutor clearly returned home, yet still remained in the Other Shore.

Moreover, the phrase "leaving the Other Shore and returning home," it makes one suspect whether there’s any connection between the Nightmare Corridor and the Other Shore.

Returning to the earlier question, aside from this similar paradox, if the transformed guide successfully helped the corridor prisoners erode the immediate world, what does it signify if the Interlocutor is still in the "Other Shore?"

Could there be a reason causing this?

Simple, Zhao Ran and his brothers couldn’t escape from the Other Shore, but he and the Witch could get out.

And as successful cases, that was the resulting side effect right before their eyes.

The Witch’s deduction was correct, to some extent, the two of them marked indeed caused the paradox to appear.

And the already Annihilated Other Shore, the final remnants were so intense, it even influenced the judgment of the Nightmare Corridor — and even the warehouse.

Indeed, although unknown what special relation the warehouse and Other Shore have.

But in Fu Qian’s view, the warehouse suddenly ceased sending letters, started pulling people dominantly like the Bookstore World, the direct cause might not be the restoration of state.

But because of the paradox of the Other Shore, making the warehouse see here as the Bookstore World.

Being able to freely come and go through the "Messenger" was for the same reason.

...

One has to say, somehow it’s rather counterintuitive.

Believing in this respect, the Witch felt the same.

Despite being the source of power, the "Other Shore" was sacrificed completely, he and the Witch exiting, still results in an error.

And precisely because of this irrationality, it leads to why when some strange situations arose earlier, there wasn’t a rush to think in this direction—

Mainly it’s somewhat illogical.

Beyond the lingering influence after death, there’s a matter of impact.

Just because the two of them walked through here, did they directly add the attribute "Other Shore" to this whole world?

The legendary Great Defining Technique was nothing more than this.

"The two of us now are people who walked out of the Other Shore."

At this moment, the Witch spoke again, fully following the train of thought, easily guessing Fu Qian’s speculation.

"If you want to explain this sentence in the book, it indeed looks like the only feasible answer at present, but anyway, still somewhat illogical."

Even next, she pointed out the irrationality within.

"Such a crumbling residual, shouldn’t possess such power, might it be possible that the place you used to cross over has some association with the ’Other Shore’?"

"Agree."

Fu Qian agreed with righteous confidence.

"Even if there’s no definite reason right now, but just bringing in those prisoners, the concept of Other Shore seems very fitting.

"As mentioned earlier, I have reliable information, the ones imprisoned within, couldn’t break the prison by any means...thinking about it, isn’t this similar to what we saw in the Other Shore before?"

"Indeed, and if we intend to prove this judgment, it seems we could observe the impact of the Other Shore definition here on their erosion behavior."

Patting the Covenant Book in hand, the Witch also had a clear train of thought.

"Also the reaction of this world here, continuing to observe the necessity of Nightmare grand fusion, seems it has increased?"

Fu Qian gestured to the still paused Three Giants.

Associations couldn’t stop from the start.

Since there wasn’t a rush to return, why not take the opportunity to maneuver?

Nightmare Corridor, Nightmare fusion, just those two names imply there should be some connection.
