Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2046: Chapter 2041: Oscilloscope

This is the first time coming to the core area of the Divine Ashes Institute.

And Fu Qian’s first feeling was that the previous summary of the culture of this department was indeed correct, not only twisted, but to the point of being sullenly flamboyant.

Compared to the purely simple exterior, the towering hall in front is excessively luxurious.

The first feeling upon entering through the corridor was blinding.

Starry sky? No, the dome.

Countless shining crystal stones, coupled with gold ornaments around, together create a dome that shines like the stars from every angle.

Surrounding are red and blue colored tiles and Venetian blinds.

And the most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the oversized chandelier hanging from the center of this dreamlike scene.

It must weigh a few tons, and is designed with extreme complexity; even the materials are extraordinary.

At this moment, it is clearly unlit, and not even swaying, yet countless surfaces emit a peculiar shade of blue, rolling like clouds.

In terms of style alone, it is undoubtedly the most luxurious in the entire Academy.

Compared to outside, it’s like the rich inner world of a nerdy guy, and it complements the Divine Ashes Institute perfectly.

At this moment, the space is densely packed with people.

Their relatively uniform attire shows they are core members of the Divine Ashes Institute.

Is it really a full meeting for self-review? This attitude is still satisfying, but is this place really suitable for self-reflection?

Not to mention, staring at that chandelier all day might muddle one’s brain, right?

Under Professor Viron’s guidance, Fu Qian examined the multitude of seated figures, expressing inability to understand the design.

”There’s something in here...”

After inviting the three visitors to sit near the center of the hall, Viron got straight to the point, looking around and uttering a chilling line.

...

”We’ve confirmed its existence but can’t find it.”

Before the visitors could speak, Viron sighed softly.

”It exists in this building, in a way far more special than a ghost, freely entering and exiting everyone’s mind...”

”Our boastful abilities are entirely ineffective against it, beyond knowing it’s here and affecting us, we can’t capture any trace.”

One could hear that the situation is quite unfavorable.

After all, for the proud Divine Ashes, admitting deficiency in their professional field is extremely difficult.

Thus the oppressive atmosphere around is completely understandable.

”So are you trying to stir something up?”

To this, Fu Qian did not comment, but pointed around, recalling the earlier conversation with Lisa.

”We must contemplate its cause... If it truly originates from some special sediment, this way might make it easier to be detected.”

Nodding, Viron’s gaze locked onto Fu Qian’s face, with a meaningful expression.

”We have to thank Professor Fu’s reminder, never thought such a situation would occur, without you, Divine Ashes might still be unaware now - so was Professor Fu suspicious from the small incident earlier on?”

Indeed, a lot of reflection after returning.

The small incident Viron mentioned naturally referred to the emotional ripple sweeping across the Academy when Wen Li was developing her abilities.

To trace back to such extent shows a group’s considerable effort and determination upon returning.

Fortunately, their suspicion was not a baseless conspiracy; the real plotting began much earlier.

”Seems a bit aggressive.”

Slightly nodding, Fu Qian directly admitted in the next moment.

”Indeed... So the subsequent special attention to Wen Li was to let her temporarily detach and avoid influence?”

Viron instinctively glanced at Professor Yang beside him, sighing deeply after a moment as he seemed to finally understand Professor Fu’s painstaking efforts.

”Including the visit yesterday, right... Unfortunately, although I felt vaguely odd at the time, I still didn’t reflect, leading the student into danger—”

”Seeking riches amid danger, that’s a remarkable achievement, I even specifically mentioned it to President Cass earlier.

”Additionally, the assistance you seek, isn’t it just listening to confession here?”

However, the increasingly profound remarks were casually interrupted by Professor Fu, who bluntly questioned without much politeness.

...

Clearly, for the top figures of Divine Ashes, being forced to admit their own foolishness is quite rare.

Yet, in such a precious scene, the other party shows no interest in appreciating it, causing a greater stimulus with this posture.

For a moment, even with Viron and Professor Yang’s composure, their faces slightly fell.

As for Ni Huayuan, who acted as an accessory in various occasions, his expression management was almost out of control.

”Of course not, actually what we hope for Professor Fu’s help this time is to use that method again, with increased stimulation.”

But definitely, he had no chance to lose control; Professor Yang next to him directly explained their intent.

”After all, it’s a tradition for too many years, on the one hand, we don’t want to lift the prohibition, on the other hand, doing so might release a dangerous entity.”

Viron continued explaining.

”Unfortunately, for now, our efforts still fall short of finding it, and it seems what Professor Fu did yesterday was a stimulation on a larger scale.”

”No problem.”

In response to the serious expressions of the two heads of Divine Ashes, Fu Qian, adhering to the friendly stance of the academy, directly initiated the Return Edict.

Visually, there was no change, but the tempest roared invisibly.

Like casting a red-hot iron ball onto snowflakes, from the inside out, ancient accumulated malaise was forcibly transformed.

This new change, combined with the already initiated golden whirlpool, obviously caused even greater stimulation.

To the extent that in the vision, Professor Lisa, who was supposedly the least sensitive, had a slightly dazed expression at that moment.

Just help out as needed, right?

Facing Lisa’s instinctive glance in this state, Fu Qian returned a confident smile.

Although the level of reflection in the Divine Ashes Institute essentially fell far short.

The invisible ”it” is far beyond what this impurity can nurture.

Luckily, as a partner in this project, Fu Qian was equally curious about the current situation of the Jade Soul Master.

Even without Extraordinary Perception, it is hard to determine whether the Heart Demon is still alive.

Yet within the entire Academy, those who suffered the deepest vexations from Him seem to serve a certain oscillatory role, aiding in confirming more things.
