Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2056: Chapter 2051: White Blood, Blue and Red

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet its match, isn’t it just like this?

During a somewhat impolite closing time, Fu Qian easily completed the day’s task of dispersal.

Considering one of them even looked like a tourist, the urban culture of Shangjing must have left a deep impression during their short stay.

”Welcome.”

At that moment, the bookstore owner, unassuming in his stance, was already standing at the door, looking into a pair of crimson eyes.

Although the words seemed quite out of place, drawing frequent glances from two departing customers.

”Long time no see, Mr. Fang.”

Even Lady Selana hesitated at that moment.

But in the end, she gathered her courage and greeted, responding to the call and stepping inside.

”It’s been a while indeed.”

This was not wrong, as it had been some time since Selana’s last visit.

Recall that when she cooperated in filming the documentary, helping to convey the sacred decree to the Greedy Worms, she didn’t look too well.

After a period of recovery, she seemed significantly revitalized.

”Help yourself to whatever you want.”

Thus, Fu Qian was not at all courteous, inviting her to sit down with a generous gesture.

”No, thank you.”

Unfortunately, compared to Chief Yuan, this person still had some unnecessary pride.

Selana merely glanced before shaking her head, showing no intention to help herself or pour a drink.

”So, did anything new happen with the emblem Tyler saw in his dream?”

No fuss was made over the minor discourtesy; Fu Qian directly asked upfront.

”...No, due to some measures, Tyler Gulad hasn’t dreamt for a long time, or more precisely, he hasn’t slept.”

Surprised by the efficiency, Selana quickly shook her head, explaining calmly.

”It seems the influence on Tyler wasn’t too deep, and the power behind such actions hasn’t attempted other means.”

...

So, after being reprimanded by the family elders, was the unique prohibition placed on Brother Tyler simply a crude ban on sleep, rather than something like a Dream Ring?

Too bad, I thought about borrowing such a miraculous object to help research dreams and the Mental World.

Moreover, it sounds like this young talent hasn’t had an easy time recently.

Although for Transcendents, sleep is often optional.

But without even the escape of sleep for some mental relief, Brother Tyler would likely be tormented by his embarrassing actions during his midnight introspection.

Imagining such a situation, Fu Qian couldn’t help but feel sorry.

”So, did Mr. Fang see the unusual celestial phenomenon in Shangjing today?”

Before further commentary, Selana couldn’t help but ask.

”Of course, I was just about to open shop then.”

Fu Qian wasn’t surprised; although the previous topics were serious, the sudden desecration of the sun undoubtedly urged Selana to visit.

Remember, during the last similar occurrence, Gulad lost a contender aiming for the Second Phase, even the current person was severely injured.

With so many unknowns still unresolved, this sudden incident is inevitably alarming.

Fu Qian knew clearly, ever since stepping inside, Selana had been checking him intentionally or unintentionally.

Due to some past actions, Selana had some suspicion that this was his doing.

Unfortunately, the effects of Mechanical Ascension were evident once more; although his ranking was adjusted to the Second Phase, the side effect of Discoloration State brought by that arrow saw a significant reduction.

Currently, the specific reason remains uncertain, but with some slight modifications, finding noticeable traces is almost impossible.

”Even Chief Yuan specifically came to discuss this, including asking if you guys were scared.”

In Selana’s silence, Fu Qian continued to add, emphasizing the leader’s care for the people.

...

Yuan Shan has already visited...

It’s clear that Selana was somewhat surprised by the Night Watchman’s concern, and also shocked by its efficiency.

”It seems alright for now, at least personally, I haven’t felt any special impact, whether positive or negative.”

Soon she shook her head, indicating not to worry.

”Unlike the Red Moon?”

Fu Qian didn’t question but naturally compared.

”Not the same.”

Seemingly unfazed by any discrepancies, Selana continued to shake her head.

”Although I rarely pray to the Red Moon, based on other Bloodline Clan members’ experiences over the years, occasionally there’s a response, yet its unpredictable form often makes it hard to call a blessing.”

Even in terms of address, compared to other Bloodline Clan members, Selana’s wording seemed somewhat awkward.

Fu Qian understood; on one hand, the Abyssal Chronicle confirmed the Ancestor was dead, on the other, with Ancient Reminiscence, he’d taken on the role of the First Apostle’s perspective, closely witnessing the glory.

Therefore, her complex feeling towards the mysterious Red Moon is quite normal.

Yet the Red Moon seems indeed to play a role as a lunar or Progenitor of the Blood Clan symbol and can be summoned.

”And compared to the everyday moon we see?”

Fu Qian recalled the scene of many limbs spread open, continuing to ask.

The everyday moon...

”Aside from being more mysterious, there doesn’t seem to be a significant difference.”

Selana pulled various concepts to compare, and her already complex feelings became even more intricate, gazing outside while speaking.

”As far as I know, even the most traditional Bloodline Clan have long, long since ceased receiving any response from the original moon.”

So ”blue, white, red,” Blue and white within this world have entirely lost their religious significance... the orthodoxy paradoxically is really trapped within the twisted and cursed Red Moon.

Though long suspected, obtaining confirmation from a seasoned Bloodline Clan bearer holds special meaning.

Fu Qian swiftly summarized the moons he’d encountered.

The first encounter at Full Moon Garden was clearly ”white,” even after gaining Insight from Ancient Reminiscence about Annalise’s glory, the eventual confrontation with ancient dignity was ”white” too.

Adding that Annalise was already a Moon Follower and later responded to the call to inherit the Divine Position, resulting in a rather clear line of reasoning—

”White” is the original Moon God, achieving symbolic faith until the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, Annalise, appeared.

But the chosen Annalise ”did not wait for the Long Night.”

Although the Dark Moon appeared during the Long Night.
