Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2006: Chapter 2001: The Radiance of the Good Spell

Good news, in the reality of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, the times are peaceful, and there are no exaggerated leakage risks.

Bad news, in these temporary files where I have been exiled, the risk of leakage is already so high that there’s no need for special precautions.

If it truly is due to the small test by Professor Luo Bu, it could indeed make the ”Jade Soul Master” brainstorm such commotion just now.

Then, such loose constraints almost mean that whatever tricks that person has, they can be freely displayed.

After all, given the Academy’s research style, similar risks are likely scattered everywhere.

”Keep up the effort, avoid complacency and impetuosity.”

After briefly confirming the severe situation, Fu Qian directly ended the guidance visit, not forgetting to offer a kind encouragement before leaving.

”...Alright.”

Clearly more confused about the situation, but it seemed that Professor Fu had no major objections to this sensitive project.

Therefore, while Luo Bu felt relieved, he didn’t dwell too much on the overly vague guidance, only instinctively escorting the person out.

You understand that the leadership’s time is precious?

Of course, even so, the slight emotions did not escape Professor Fu’s sharp eyes.

With the Academy’s massive foundation, so many affairs and projects, you hold someone up for an extra minute, how long does that delay the entire Academy?

Didn’t see the academic leader himself not even intending to visit Professor Kaldora?

Of course, considering Luo Bu knew his place, Professor Fu didn’t question him directly but merely gestured with his eyes for the other to return and work hard before leaving.

...

Professor Kaldora’s special constitution, paired with the ”Jade Soul Master’s” power, imagining what kind of changes might occur, is quite exciting.

But even though the journey isn’t far, Fu Qian didn’t plan to specifically make a visit.

The reason, as mentioned before, is that time is precious.

While Professor Luo Bu might indeed not be infected with any fungus, the state of the whole Academy, frankly speaking, is quite concerning.

If the previous speculation about the ”Jade Soul Master’s” power concept is correct, it’s hard to believe that the adverse effects on the Divine Ashes Institute are not contagious.

The greatest possibility is that the entire Academy in the real world is currently following the same path as Akons.

Although that doesn’t necessarily mean having to race against time, essentially, the current focus is a death match with the ”Jade Soul Master” in the arena, winning is most important.

Even to win, one must use every possible means to find a way.

But such a place, clearly suited for the opponent to play freely, sending oneself there is too naïve.

To lure the enemy, you must have some work at hand—indeed, there is.

Descending the stairs in the state of Blood Conquest, without even reaching the ground, Fu Qian had already discovered something special.

A person... or a figure?

On the staircase below, which wasn’t particularly steep, a tall figure walked steadily, step by step forward with its back facing him.

The actions were extremely human-like, but overall, it was so ethereal that it was less than even the legendary ghosts.

Vaguely, it was just a few rough lines outlining the body contours, losing a few frames from time to time while walking.

Even a temporary file shouldn’t be this simplistic, right?

There wasn’t just one like this, either.

Quickly catching up and lifting the Blood Conquest state to pace, sadly, that humanoid outline didn’t react at all.

Meanwhile, more and more similar things began to continuously appear around.

Varying in height and size, yet all walked forward with unwavering steps and the gaze focused even going in the same direction.

I often feel out of place among you due to not being simple enough.

As he walked among them, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

And after assessing his understated luxury outfit, he continued looking on without shame.

What’s given is not from embezzling Academy resources.

Besides, along the way, it seemed there were fewer and fewer people from the Academy.

Initially, sporadic people were on the roads, turning a blind eye to the nearby humanoid outlines.

Up until now, even a cold-resistant mosquito couldn’t be seen.

Even the road itself looked somewhat unfamiliar.

Fortunately, with abundant experience in collaboration among different faculties, he could just about judge which direction this was...

At one moment, Fu Qian raised his head, gazed through the thin fog that appeared at an unknown time, and stared at a building that seemed familiar.

Benevolence Institute—but an enhanced version.

Truly wonderful, it’s exactly the place I initially wanted to come to.

...

The style indeed looked familiar, but it was indeed different from the original.

Fu Qian was quite sure of his sense of orientation, confirming this was the location of the Benevolence Institute.

However, it differed from the somewhat desolate scenery in memory, not only was the overall structure more magnificent, its exterior also hinted at its own understated luxury style, a grandeur no less than the famously grand Linghui.

Besides, it was also the destination for those individual humanoid outlines.

One could see these increasingly unfragmented figures, confidently entering through a side door in single file, like pilgrims, creating a sharp contrast with the usual desolation of this place.

Speaking of which—

Fu Qian didn’t rush to follow suit but instead glanced back again.

Not only had it fogged up, but the silently darkening sky was already no longer the Academy in his memory.

So whose impression is it, then?

Questions rising from the heart, Fu Qian naturally followed the flow and joined the procession.

...

The Blood Conquest state hadn’t been forcibly canceled.

Crossing that door, Fu Qian immediately concluded.

The emphasis was rather straightforward, others were all changing, suddenly refined from void into reality.

It was like a legendary boundary of yin and yang; those humanoid outlines, gradually growing fuller, transformed into entities the moment they passed through the door, clear enough that even untrimmed nose hairs could be seen.

But they were very unfamiliar.

Though he often skipped classes, Fu Qian prided himself on being well-connected within the Academy.

Yet, scanning those faces, not a single one was recognizable.

Especially the robust fellow seen at first, undeniably had Divinity.

Yet such a High-level Extraordinary also bore a face he had no recollection of, leaving almost a sense of mistakenly entering a parallel universe.

But, as friends who frequently consume sci-fi works know, even parallel universes often coincide with familiar faces—

In an instant, Fu Qian quickened his pace, directly traversing down the stairs, reaching a space even more spacious than his impression of the Benevolence Institute’s basement.

Someone was already waiting, standing silently layer upon layer in a corner of the hall, and he went along to stand next to a front-row competitor, scrutinizing that quite familiar face, covered in white hair.

Feng... Elder Yun Hong?

And at that moment, a result truly surfaced.

So even in a parallel universe, you’re still in the Fifth Phase?
