Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1522: Human Plant (31)

Finding the source of the crying remains the current mission target, which does not conflict with this survival team in any way.

Even so, continuing to act as a team member seems not to be the only choice.

It’s quite simple; since the consensus is so powerful, why not capitalize on it and focus the action on scaring people?

Ultimately, this could push the team’s consensus from demigod up to divine envoy, new god, creating an invincible combat force?

A wonderful and bold idea.

The truth is, when Fu Qian first realized the possibility that spirit triumphs over matter, the thought had already appeared.

However, one of the greatest meanings of combining theory with practice is that the theory can constantly be improved and corrected.

At the moment of liberating the demigod tier just now, Fu Qian realized that such overly idealized situations might not be feasible.

For one simple reason — he did not actually become a vampire demigod but instead returned to the original sin sage he was.

The power of consensus does not seem limitless, especially when involving drastic changes; it requires some anchor.

That is to say, the reason he could ascend from the peak level of the fourth phase to demigod while joking was because he had been a demigod before.

This is by no means a paradise where trying for something yields results; the coupling process behind it is quite complex and stringent.

So now, for him, the optimal choice is to continue acting with the team’s power while subtly leaving hints for future use to restore further.

”Can you share?”

It turns out that choosing a cooperative stance seems to have been the correct decision.

The proof is that Lady Ji Ning asked with a slightly complex expression after hesitating just a few seconds upon seeing him acknowledge gains so decisively.

And in those few seconds, Mr. Li Sr. did not smash his head.

”Of course.”

In the next moment, Fu Qian chose to continue implementing this tested strategy.

With a few words, he expressed the insight that appeared in his mind just now, preserving even the literary style.

...

”It’s somewhat similar to the information I’ve obtained.”

The listeners reacted quite genuinely, almost all looking at Ji Ning at that moment.

And she did not disappoint, giving a very positive evaluation after some contemplation.

The location and such cannot be refuted before arriving, but if someone lies merely to save themselves, the twisted sense is not easily faked.

Although other team members are not as clear as Ji Ning on this matter, they sensed enough not to question her evaluation.

”So are you saying you simply recognized that this dagger is a blood clan item and proactively helped when I couldn’t pull it out? Honestly, proving you weren’t lying is not easy.”

Although there was progress, the atmosphere remained oppressive for the time being.

This blood clan half-god, suddenly revealing their identity under questioning, still carried a considerable suspicion index.

Yet simultaneously, their cooperative stance was overly sincere, showing no apparent loopholes.

Ji Ning opened her mouth without emotion after fixing her gaze on Fu Qian for just a breath.

She knew that currently, there was no condition here to finely think through.

”In fact, I’ve never lied.”

Even though her tone was harsh, Ji Ning’s choice to engage in verbal communication indicated much.

Fu Qian casually defended himself, displaying an extremely calm posture.

”I never said I wasn’t a demigod, and indeed don’t understand why I appeared here with this face, and I truly use the power of flesh.”

...

This defensive stance was quite high, even causing Lord Aike, who had been scowling since before, to have a moment of flickering gaze.

Her ghostly form seemed unable to be maintained for long, and after Ji Ning’s brief suppression of erosion, she had restored her flesh form, thus manifesting her emotions clearly.

The reason, naturally, was because theoretically, what he said wasn’t wrong.

Being high-level extraordinary, long accustomed to judging targets by observation, coming to the conclusion before Middle Tier was made this way.

This guy merely downplayed saying ”too weak” and ”power differential” throughout.

Even Director Li and others obviously hadn’t noticed abnormalities, strictly speaking, it can be said that he hid too well.

But that’s talking sensibly; everyone in the supernatural realm is a giant, hardly bound by mere words.

The real significance of his answer lies in the fact that as long as the surface explanation makes sense, there’s no necessity to resort to a deadlock.

Aike believes this is what Lady Ji Ning hopes to see.

Just asking represents her not tending to act.

Perhaps even she didn’t expect the answer to be so perfect.

”Understood, it seems not all of the blood clan are arrogant.”

And Ji Ning’s reaction in the next moment seemed to confirm Aike’s thoughts.

Faced with Fu Qian’s explanation, she showed no intention of delving deeper, directly discerning the direction.

”Time is tight; let’s begin.”

”Alright, thanks to everyone for paving the way earlier; now it’s my turn.”

And the blood clan demigod also agreed gladly, harmonious throughout.

...

If all this indeed happened within a notebook, then what does the Em House Palace in the real world look like at this moment?

Walking at the forefront of the team, Fu Qian, having more hypotheses validated, faced the sight of the ruined buildings with an even more wondrous perception.

Apart from his own special situation, the context from Li He and Aike’s account converged on one significant point — they were originally attending a newborn’s banquet, only to abruptly be thrown into this incomprehensible place.

The likeliest scenario appears to be a sudden shift occurred at some point, pulling them into here.

In the real world, the banquet might still be ongoing.

Fu Qian didn’t doubt this point much, but simultaneously, a question arose — given their accounts, the scale of this banquet was enormous, why were they the ones to end up here?

The immediate thought is that the shift might be related to the newborn child of Larea.

Yet unlike Li He and Luyi, who hadn’t even seen the person while invited, Aike was supposedly even further.

Their being chosen evokes curiosity.

As those involved, they must share the same perplexity —

In this pondering, a massive ancient mirror already lay close at hand.

Despite bearing traces of time, it distinctly reflected the team behind.

Like Lady Ji Ning, who already veiled in burial clothes once again.

And in the next moment, those vacant eyes on a barely human face blinked in this direction.
