Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2878: Chapter 2873: Limb Attachment Still Remains

The Limb Attachment is still present.

In that moment, Fu Qian’s words rang powerfully, indicating that although the ideas were different, the former club grounds were not a place where mere legal lapdogs could boast.

"Impossible! What blasphemy this is—"

Perhaps due to a newfound composure, the Third Follower’s emotional reactions were abundant at that moment, but the lines were truly uninspired.

If I remember correctly, those were the exact words used when he first appeared.

The only difference might be the way he was blasphemed?

At that time, the pseudo-law of being world-weary was sensed, but now Brother Sanxun seemed more concerned about his own condition.

Amidst the incredulous roar, even the illusory image attempted to struggle, seemingly unable to understand how it was trapped within such a filthy body.

Unfortunately, the degree of struggle was almost negligible, as the binding was so secure that, despite many attempts, only the two blood-red eyes seemed to focus a little.

"Heh... Your laws don’t seem to be saving you, but look on the bright side."

Appreciating the "cruelty" of the scene, Fu Qian also smiled maliciously.

"Though there’s no way to bring you out, at least it was them who sent you in."

Even the words of comfort were factual, leaving others hard-pressed to refute.

"They will decay sooner or later... you’ll never completely control me."

Brother Sanxun didn’t refute either.

He’s indeed a professional; after a brief shock, he seemed to have somewhat accepted reality.

Even when faced with an ordeal comparable to being trapped within the Divine Lamp, he still managed to find a flaw.

"Makes sense; it’s hard to call most things truly immortal."

Fu Qian nodded, casually dismissing Annalise’s lies.

Uh—

A fascinating scene occurred thereafter; the Third Follower, who seemed resolved to maintain silence, vanished along with his container within two seconds.

...

Is that loyalty to a fault?

The Clear Dream Ring remained, but the First Apostle had vanished.

As a master of the Dream, Fu Qian was certain it wasn’t hiding.

The only explanation seemed to be that this being was not only a dream entity but only appeared in the Dream where Annalise’s lies were worn.

Even after a millennium, the First Apostle still vowed to follow faithfully...

Moreover, such things are easy to verify; the next instant, Fu Qian put the glove back on.

"Immense sin—"

Almost simultaneously, a familiar figure reappeared, standing silently.

And during such a short span, Brother Sanxun seemed to have a poor experience; he couldn’t maintain the previous calm upon speaking.

Unfortunately, under constraint, it was evident he couldn’t carry out any punishment for the sin.

"You’re too kind, but I’m currently a bit busy."

Fu Qian didn’t mind, and even seemed oblivious to the formalities, politely bidding farewell again.

Afterwards, he didn’t remove the glove again, directly canceling the Clear Dream Ring.

"Is it you... you’re actually still here?"

Almost the next moment, there indeed was a shout from afar.

"Strange, wasn’t it you who invited me here?"

Fu Qian turned around and asked rather peculiarly.

Yes, it was indeed the voice of Lord Sha Ming, though he didn’t sound happy.

His complexion also appeared poor, with the peeling so severe it was unrecognizable.

...

Quite possibly for the first time since arriving at the Archipelago, Lord Sha Ming entered the sacred grounds of the Rebirth Club for inspection and guidance.

Compared to this individual’s caution, it was undoubtedly a monumental breakthrough.

And it was precisely realizing this point that Fu Qian ended the Dream ahead of time, waiting in place.

While talking, Lord Sha Ming still maintained a certain distance, with a wary demeanor.

"... I even reminded you not to stay longer than 15 minutes."

Of course, Fu Qian’s rebuttal seemed reasonable, prompting Sha Ming to pause and emphasize Fu Qian’s disregard for his guidance.

"So, what’s really happening here? Did you discover something special?"

But he didn’t excessively pursue, and quickly focused his attention on the present.

"Some things, like you didn’t ask me just now how I recognized you."

Fu Qian clearly didn’t return empty-handed, even citing an immediate example.

Hmm...

That startled Sha Ming, who suddenly lowered his head to examine, truly forgetting what face he had now, his expression was unusually unsightly.

"So, what are you doing here exactly?"

But he still "magnanimously" didn’t argue, forcibly continuing to ask.

"Of course, it’s about the reception, and by the way, informing you that the thing you’re looking for has indeed landed here; that’s the first matter."

Fu Qian responded fluently, pointing to the top of the White Tower.

Lord Sha Ming was naturally here to find Brother Sanxun.

After the shattered dream, theoretically, their outside state should revert to the time before Patch spread the Dream across the entire island.

Although not a long time, it should be enough for Sha Ming to discover the disappearance of the White Tower Codex.

As for why it went missing, why he didn’t want to run here when Yibu was present in the Dream, but now he’s courageously come?

Actually, it’s quite simple; just like not shedding tears until seeing the coffin, once seeing the coffin, they cry especially fast.

"You..."

Not only tears, Lord Sha Ming was already oozing a mix of sand and oil from his body.

It wasn’t just a simple Dream just now; everything that happened inside would eventually settle into reality.

The laboratory had already turned to ashes; how could a minor Second Phase remain unharmed?

Moreover, during the execution, we specifically used Visceral Critical Strike, aiming for a comprehensive and flawless lock.

And Lord Sha Ming’s survival instincts were visibly strong.

The stolen Codex was just a surface reason for coming here; the more important fact was realizing he was dying.

Even if the mind reminded of the severe dangers, he could only forcefully rush to seize a chance of survival.

In any case, it was human nature, and he appeared rather human.

"What’s the second thing then?"

Including not giving up at this moment.

Faced with the clearly ill-intentioned host, Sha Ming no longer hoped to figure out Fu Qian’s true identity, only to see if the latter had hidden intentions.

"The second thing, does this mean I’ve passed the club’s test?"

To which Fu Qian smiled slightly, demonstrating what it means to stay true to one’s origins.

...Was it just to say this?

Lord Sha Ming, who was listening attentively, was dumbfounded at that moment.

Unable to refute, after all, the initial character was indeed the cannon fodder of the Rebirth Club.

"Don’t worry, the club will certainly flourish in my hands."

Fu Qian continued to exhibit determination, forcefully taking over the torch from the former number one of the Rebirth Club.

You...

Unfortunately, Lord Sha Ming could no longer express emotion, as his last shred of survival desire utterly withered along with his flesh.
