Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2047: Chapter 2042: Heaven’s Commencement Institute Pays for Everything

Reciprocal cooperation has always been the foundation of positive collaboration.

As someone who isn’t enamored with hollow fame, the contentious pursuits at the Divine Ashes Institute naturally hold no appeal for Fu Qian.

This journey, apart from enlightening the foolish and helping the Divine Ashes remove mental barriers, must also yield true gains for oneself.

So, isn’t it reasonable to borrow your brainwaves for a moment?

Although the voltage seems a bit high...

In the silence, listening to the shocking thunder, with the activation of the Return Edict, although Professor Lisa was momentarily confused, in the blink of an eye, she was no longer the one with the strongest reaction.

Her discomfort stemmed from the sudden intensification of the spiral explosion, and apart from the fact that everyone could feel this, the Divine Ashes definitely had additional discomfort—emptiness.

The essence of the Return Edict is to directly purify the accumulated filth, something that has become as natural to them as air.

Over the long years, they have long been accustomed to savoring, inhaling, immersing, and deriving a psychological enjoyment from it.

In a certain sense, it might even be one of the supports of the prideful demeanor of the Linghui.

However, with the purifying effect of the Return Edict, within the completely chaotic Golden Whirlpool at this moment, the void corroding them clearly brought different feelings to Lisa and the others.

To the former, it was like luckily catching a breath of pure air, while to the latter, it directly triggered withdrawal reactions and the fear of withdrawal.

Although no one spoke for a while, their breaths collectively paused, and more than one originally introspective brother couldn’t help but look up.

”Don’t get distracted, don’t miss this moment.”

Surrounded by an entire hall of people, Professor Fu was naturally undaunted, coldly reminding them before Veron and the others could say anything, demanding they continue to give their all.

...

At least there was some inexplicable arrogance, which was the reason the three from the Heaven’s Commencement Institute didn’t want to look up properly just now.

”Don’t get distracted.”

So although Professor Fu’s advice was spot on, there was more than one person questioning Veron with their eyes—and successfully eliciting another scolding from the latter.

At this point, the group was completely subdued, immediately returning to introspection, doing their utmost to find traces of the invisible beast amidst the discomforting chaos.

”Think more.”

Yet even so, faced with this invigorating scene, that professor from Heaven’s Commencement Institute was still dissatisfied, scolding like a hawk and wolf, with a deep tone.

”This lamp is made from real Extraordinary Materials, paired with a specially designed structure, it can slightly reflect some invisible waves.”

And seeing Fu Qian’s gaze fall once again on the stunningly beautiful giant chandelier, Veron quietly explained nearby.

”Precisely because of this, it is rarely lit, as it constantly emits a slight radiance itself.

”And the mentors of the Divine Ashes also habitually use it as the object of contemplation, grasping more in the subtle resonance.”

...

So this is equivalent to a public oscilloscope for the Divine Ashes Institute? A wisdom light shrouded in green?

It’s indeed a thought-provoking piece, though admittedly with mixed signals.

”I see.”

At that moment, Fu Qian nodded once again, understanding why a portion of people, in closing their eyes to feel, the rest were almost all staring at the chandelier.

Even due to the overly quiet hall, Veron’s explanation could be clearly heard by everyone, leading to even more people staring at the lamp.

Perhaps not overly precious, but for the Divine Ashes Institute people, this piece, crafted to the point of an artwork, clearly became a very special symbol——Crash!

Just as the atmosphere was tense, oppressive to the extreme, and everyone including Veron was giving it their all to feel and interpret, a dense and crisp sound suddenly resounded.

Along with it was a burst of spectacular scattered light.

The giant chandelier, tinged with green, the core of Linghui’s contemplation exploded directly in mid-air, scattering like rain.

And the cause of all this was actually an armchair casually grabbed, shattering the chandelier and even continuing to fly far ahead, ultimately embedding in a set of blinds.

This...

The air seemed to solidify, countless eyes, filled with doubt and denial, all swiftly looked over to the position where the chair had been thrown from.

The visiting demigod named Fu was pressing both hands on the table in front, slowly standing up.

”Did you all really think too much?”

Without any explanation for the previous actions, even as all the eyes swept across with cold disdain.

”Thought about it all day and night, was it useful?

”Those things full of fallacies only blind you, abandon those crude concepts, even the so-called ’self’ prison, give up all of everything... then tell me what you saw.”

...

Add one more stirring force, hoping that a more chaotic situation will make the target unable to hide.

In Fu Qian’s view, Veron’s idea seemed reasonable but was essentially a hopeless gamble.

They knew nothing of the target, only able to slightly speculate and imagine based on their situation as victims.

But as said before, their fortunate point was that their cooperating partner understood the target very well.

So much so that it was very clear, that the ’Ghost’ was far outside the institute, even if they blew the place up, there seemed to be little effect.

The reason their previous Return Edict elicited such a big reaction was merely that it signaled the already restless Jade Soul.

Therefore, in this reverse investigation, their subjective initiative held no significance; they only needed to play the role of oscilloscope well.

And his actions just now, were to a certain extent, to help them tune to a range closer to the target.

First, directly shattering their attachment at their most obsessive moment, and then saying the contents that followed, which were the essence of the ’Zen Path’ learned from being constantly influenced.

”Professor Fu...”

The previous second was enthusiastically introducing, and the next moment was directly shattered.

Equally affected by the change just now, almost unable to hold back, Old Master Veron now instead seemed a bit calmer.

However, the reason provided by the other party was still somewhat abstract, and while relying on rich knowledge of the mind to try to comprehend, he spoke with a complex tone.

Even though he addressed Fu Qian, his gaze turned to Cass beside him.

”The loss will be compensated by Heaven’s Commencement.”

And the next moment, he received a generous promise.

With a smile, Cass looked at the destroyed artwork, speaking casually.

The implication was quite clear; regarding his people being at the Divine Ashes Institute to guide reflection, he found no fault.

...

Even without extending courtesy regarding the chandelier, Veron slowly sat back down.
