Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1524: Human Tree (33)

”As for the Larea Royal Court, how much does Lord Anke know?”

It turns out that art is by no means useless, especially the art of communication.

The small interlude did not change the grim situation, and under Fu Qian’s full-of-posture suggestion, the team quickly resumed their journey.

Continuing to travel another hundred meters in this dead silent land, Mr. Li Sr., who had been at the back, quickly walked a few steps forward to join the conversation.

”Very little. During that time, I didn’t have a clear sense of self-will and wasn’t familiar with them.”

Witnessing the powerful and suspicious game of intrigue subtly transformed into discussions of an academic style, even with guests voluntarily stepping forward, Fu Qian was deeply satisfied and answered directly.

Was it truly some kind of ancient will awakening?

Mr. Li Sr.’s voice was not loud, but it wasn’t quite a whisper yet.

In such silence, everyone was practically straining their ears to listen to their surroundings, so the content of their dialogue was naturally fully received.

Despite being merely a question and answer, Fu Qian’s statement undoubtedly stirred the heart.

The Bloodline Clan has always been a long-lived race, so they often have different perceptions of time.

At this moment, in the response from ”Anke,” one might subtly sense this trait.

For most people, the surname Larea carries historical weight by itself, making it difficult to discuss from the perspective of ”what was I doing at that time.”

Additionally, Lord Anke’s expression indicates that at that time, he lacked a clear sense of self-will.

Combining with the confirmation provided earlier by Mr. Li Sr., distinct from current Bloodline Clan members, even though the person involved keeps it secretive, one can easily imagine certain scenes.

Such as the return of this ancient Bloodline Clan member from history after a long slumber.

This is why he says everyone’s understanding is ”limited,” because he doesn’t belong to any of the existing Bloodline Clan branches.

As for the reason for returning...

[The ancient glory belonging to Him has returned, the memories not forgotten will eventually become reality]

Although the Bloodline Clan has the problem of feigning profundity, this statement still reminds one of deep fears.

The ones returning aren’t just ancient aliens, is he simply a servant of them?

And the power he just demonstrated, is it the Bloodline Clan Progenitor, represented by the moon?

Unable to confirm, but it surely feels like this world is becoming chaotic.

...

”Understood, fortunately although I’m not familiar with them either, I happened to learn some special secrets about their self-proclaimed divinity.”

Regarding Fu Qian’s reply, Mr. Li Sr. seemed to remain the calmest, even casually sharing the information.

”Not due to their unique bloodline power?”

Fu Qian blinked, glancing at Demigod Aike while speaking.

This information indeed came from the sharing just now.

Clearly, Mr. Li Sr. did not mind others listening, so he became more relaxed.

Regrettably, Demigod Aike was not as carefree at the moment, and the hypothesis about ancient power returning made her visibly intense.

”Of course, the sudden acquisition of transcendent power without warning, perfectly merged with one’s divinity, even today countless people yearn for such talent.”

”But the essence of this talent, and how it was passed down from non-transcendent ancestors?”

Clearly, Mr. Li Sr. was not surprised by his reaction, showcasing a bit of a scholarly serious demeanor.

”You know, there were generations of them who were just ordinary people.”

”From those pampered bodies, can you discern anything extraordinary?”

”Indeed an interesting question, though it’s hard to imagine such troubles...”

Under Mr. Li Sr.’s questioning, Fu Qian did not show repulsion; rather, he appeared intrigued.

...

Of course, it’s difficult to imagine, as the Bloodline Clan never needed to worry about inheriting transcendent powers.

Fu Qian’s soliloquy gently stimulated the audience.

Although they complained inwardly, everyone tacitly refrained from speaking, straining their ears further to continue listening.

”The only Larea Family members I saw are the ones in the nursery just now.”

Fu Qian did not disappoint them, as Bloodline Clan’s arrogance inadvertently revealed itself, not willing to easily express an inability to answer.

”Indeed it is mundane flesh, pure transcendent power is fine, but it’s hard to imagine divinity having any means of hiding within.”

He did not waste precious time further, soon giving his perspective with a pensive expression.

”Therefore, in my view, the essence of the family’s talent might be some trait passed down through bloodline that, under certain conditions, attracts the attention of higher powers, granting them divinity directly rather than awakening it within themselves, meaning their power is indeed ’bestowed by heaven’.”

This is not idle speculation to maintain a sense of prestige; after learning from Demigod Aike about the ”divine being” concept, Fu Qian had indeed been pondering this issue.

Although the situation is delicate at the moment, academic exploration should not be tainted by bureaucratic conventions.

”Completely agree.”

It seemed Mr. Li Sr. also sensed the academic brilliance, his tone more excited.

And shortly after, he solemnly offered an answer directly.

”This trait might be ’face’.”

...

”I know it’s difficult to believe, in fact, when concluding with this answer myself, I felt just the same.”

Clear about the absurdity of his explanation, without waiting for anyone’s feedback, Li He continued, seemingly lost in recollection.

”In some special experiences, regarding the secret of divinity, we repeatedly eliminated various factors, ultimately arriving at this cognition-challenging possibility.”

”Generally speaking, appearance indeed holds no significance to the transcendent, but for the offspring carrying the ancient family blood, their ever-changing faces seem to find the correct number to summon higher existences at a certain moment...”

”One might even describe it from another angle—the face representing the correct number parasitizes within the Bloodline Tree, receiving nourishment through long years, occasionally manifesting at unknown moments to aid the host’s continuation.”

”Then Little Benjamin, burdened with a special curse, after being purified by Luyi, at some point, his ever-changing face finally dialed the number, and everything we see happened?”

Indeed, what Mr. Li Sr. narrated seemed abstract, as he himself stated.

Nevertheless, as soon as he finished, Fu Qian unexpectedly followed the thought thread forward, even nodding slightly as if enlightened.

”A very interesting idea, the paradox of a mortal giving birth to a Godson solved, also matching the characteristic of acquiring power without any sign.”

”And this newborn, forever aging yet youthful, equivalent to possessing endless trials...”

The essence of the bloodline’s power is ’face’, truly—primitive and reasonable.
