Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 817: Chapter 815: Rushing Towards Each Other Chapter 817: Chapter 815: Rushing Towards Each Other “The defected demigod?”

Su Gao was clearly sharp and discerning, having immediately noticed that the victims had not put up much of a fight and seemed to be caught off guard, guessing with some surprise.

“So, is she feigning defection? Such obviously unreasonable behavior—could Yasui Corp have overestimated their control?”

“It’s possible that it was simply a case of self-deception winning out.”

Fu Qian always recognized Su Gao’s sharp battle instincts.

However, due to the gap in information, all she could do was sense a problem without being able to reach a conclusion.

“She was one of those who surrendered at that time.”

Fu Qian pointed to his head, sharing once again Yasui Tokiyuki’s selfless share.

“Just as you said before, Yasui Tokiyuki has more than one move. This is also part of his ascension to godhood ceremony.”

“So, the conflict between the two organizations was also stirred up on purpose by Yasui?”

Su Gao quickly made the connection.

“Defining a concept and imbuing it with Transcendent significance, although odd, does conform somewhat to my understanding of the concept of authority. But the subsequent actions, although they may logically flow, it’s—”

“The style doesn’t match, does it?”

Fu Qian interrupted Su Gao.

In fact, he felt the same way.

Compared to the earlier manifestation that resembled the essence of power, singling out a Divine Being for spiritual violation seemed rather dark and twisted.

A sacrifice to launch a campaign?

“Actually, there’s another point. For something as important as a godhood ceremony, if controllability could be increased, any amount of resources would be worth it.”

Fu Qian followed Su Gao’s train of thought.

“So in this case, Yasui Tokiyuki actually had a simpler and safer choice, which would be to target his own people. Yasui Corp is still brimming with talent, right?”

Yes.

Su Gao affirmed Fu Qian’s statement.

“Apart from Yasui Tokiyuki himself, they have more than one demigod at the forefront.”

“But he didn’t choose that route. Can we interpret this to mean that the ceremony requires a certain degree of resistance?”

“The more intense the process, the more likely the ceremony is completed?”

Su Gao’s eyes lit up, grasping Fu Qian’s meaning.

“Understanding it that way does make more sense, but it’s even more twisted. How did they come up with the content of such a ceremony?”

I can’t be sure, but there is someone to ask.

Facing Su Gao’s doubts, Fu Qian thought to himself.

According to Yasui Tokiyuki, Nepheli, as a technical consultant, had provided the core content of the ceremonial plan, starting from when she helped stabilize his Divine Envoy status.

“If you don’t understand, you need to ask. Don’t have any concerns.”

The next moment, Fu Qian called out.

“I’ll take you somewhere.”

Huh?

Su Gao was clearly puzzled but still cooperated very well by standing up and carefully putting away a black notebook.

Not bad at all, not presuming any relaxation of vigilance.

Fu Qian was not surprised by Su Gao’s handling of the Abyssal Chronicle; he nodded in approval.

…

“So, are we going to do something Miss Nepheli loves to do?”

Under the setting sun, everything looked as usual, still the bustling urban scene.

Even as the King of Ye Island, the incident with Yasui Tokiyuki seemed to have no impact, nor was there any sign of the concept of infamy going out of control.

Despite no visible change in her expression, the scene seemed to have relaxed Su Gao somewhat.

And as she walked continuously through familiar streets, she even remembered what Fu Qian had said previously.

“Yes, and this.”

Fu Qian had indeed confirmed her suspicion and naturally handed her a piece of rice cake sprinkled with black sugar, eating another piece himself.

Yasui Tokiyuki’s death had caused changes, for example, now there was no need to wear a mask.

Or more precisely, only one mask was needed.

…

“She’s really hardworking. Despite Kagetsu Kana’s situation, she’s still working,”

Standing in front of the Fortune Teller’s Cottage once again, Su Gao whispered with a sense of marvel, looking at the sign that showed it was open for business.

“The road to success rewards hard work,” Fu Qian said with a voice laden with the profound ups and downs of the business world, and the next moment he pushed the door open and walked in.

“Welcome, what would you like to inquire about?”

The familiar voice came through, and the self-proclaimed keenly observant female diviner did not realize the identities of the two customers at first.

“…Violetta?”

The next moment, Kisaragi Chie took off the heavy hood from her head, looking at Su Gao in surprise.

“Miss Kisaragi, what’s this?”

Su Gao, who seemed to have shifted into a leisurely shopping mode, frowned as she scrutinized the diviner.

Kisaragi Chie had not only changed into a hooded robe but had even applied dark red face paint. However, the combination of the two still did not conceal her tiredness.

“It looks more mysterious and helps me concentrate better. I’m just a bit too sleepy,” Kisaragi Chie rubbed her eyes and smiled awkwardly.

“Why don’t you take a rest?”

Su Gao was asking when she suddenly realized something, glancing at Fu Qian from the corner of her eye.

Before Mr. Fu arrived, it was as if he knew she would definitely be open for business.

“Diligence leads to success while play leads to waste. I cannot slack off,”

True to form, Kisaragi Chie also looked at Fu Qian with half a joke in her tone.

Do my words really have such an effect?

Fu Qian, as a purveyor of motivational quotes, marveled at the healing effect at that moment.

He didn’t think Kisaragi Chie was too deeply affected by the words. Seeing her tiredness that could not be concealed, it was highly likely that the situation with Kagetsu Kana forced her to use this method to maintain her calm.

“Still want to know if the holiday will go smoothly?”

Kisaragi Chie was, as expected, eager to get down to work.

Despite being extremely tired, she sat up straight, her speech rhythm adjusting with her bearing.

Hmm…

Su Gao instinctively glanced at Fu Qian and realized that, unknowingly, several rings had appeared in his hand, the most eye-catching being one red and one blue, glittering brightly.

Having caught on to something, Su Gao turned back to look at Kisaragi Chie, her brows furrowing in thought.

“This time, I want to know if there will be something to gain from the holiday.”

…

Kisaragi Chie obviously listened very attentively, but Su Gao’s new question still slowed down her actions for a moment.

“It’s evident that you have high expectations for this holiday, Violetta,” she said with a smile while placing the tarot cards in front of Su Gao, looking at Fu Qian suggestively with a meaningful glance.

“In fact, from my perspective, you’ve already gained quite a lot.”

“Thank you,” Su Gao said while shuffling the cards and handing them back to her.

At the same time, Fu Qian’s Clear Dream Ring flickered slightly, and reality misaligned with what he could see.

Su Gao was not at all surprised by this and seamlessly merged into the misalignment.

Kisaragi Chie, unaware of anything, began turning over the tarot cards and pondering in front of her.

From Fu Qian’s perspective, however, an additional figure appeared in the cottage, standing at the farthest distance from himself.

That was fast; Miss Nepheli seems to be in quite a hurry.

Full of curiosity, now it was time for questions and answers.
