Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2088: Chapter 2083: Offender King

”Thank you, it truly was a wonderful journey.”

One strike directly destroyed the root of desecration, returning the ”third factor” to purity—such efficiency inevitably satisfies.

In the pleasant prompt, Fu Qian did not look back, only gazed at the shimmering starlight in gratitude, feeling a sense of departure after a fulfilling experience.

Indeed, amidst the swaying of robe, the place was truly empty, leaving only three people in the darkness with a sense of loss.

[Mission Assessment: Offender King]

As Fu Qian retired with his achievement, the next moment he was already in a place with similar visibility.

Though the warehouse provided a somewhat peculiar assessment this time.

[The ancient accumulation is never merely reflected in broken bricks and tiles.

As a city existing before the Long Night, Lan Fyla underwent multiple destructions and rebirths, burying numerous ambitious individuals and the suffering they created together.

To the locals, this nourishment of time seems to have taught them that everything will wither, and there is no need to be in such a hurry.

So much so that when certain ancient things are reborn from history, they also display considerable tolerance.

Hardly anyone remembers the original meaning represented by the graceful figures of the Dancers.

Just as the Dancers themselves do not know the true power signified by the decorations embedded in their bellies.

Especially after repeatedly hoping they would help rid the troubles following the carnival, only to have things go contrary to their wishes.

In such ignorance, they transformed into a bridge, allowing pollution to gradually deposit on the ownerless third factor.

Once such a connection reaches a certain extent, the latter will not only truly display power but also become nourishment to fill the withered flesh of the Ancient Supremes.

Even theoretically speaking, this process cannot be stopped.

For purification of already inscribed marks, only by introducing another mark.

Pure new life, like a child without any immunity, ultimately cannot escape being divided.

Fortunately, on this day, a special intent manifested in time and space.

The special self-state allowed you to act as the owner of the third factor, expelling other impurities without leaving any self-mark, truly returning it to purity.

Now, the third factor has fallen into undisturbed peace.

And those with various perceptions towards it, after briefly experiencing the wonder of fate, will no longer be able to find any extraordinary aspect.]

[Kill: None]

[Reward: SAN Points +20, Slaughter Talisman]

[Current SAN Points 150]

[Would you like to play the event review?]

...

Aha?

A special intent... can drive away impurities without leaving a mark?

The summary of this mission is indeed somewhat detailed, and sitting quietly in his seat, Fu Qian quickly captured several key phrases.

Undoubtedly, the special intent refers to himself, although this statement carries a certain burden.

Combining the cause and effect, Fu Qian even has a speculation on an existing doubt—

Is there anything special about this first mission following the complete Mechanical Ascension?

The answer is yes, the warehouse indeed did not intentionally lower the difficulty to create a positive atmosphere for this week’s work.

The first mission being labeled as number 3 is because even if it’s number 3, only he can undertake it.

Firstly, the difficulty level, one can see that there is actually no problem.

Although the way he completed it ultimately amounted to facing an Ancient Supreme and possibly a ”New God”, this was entirely the result of a guided choice.

From the task summary, it’s highly likely that the previous milder strategies were also effective.

The Dancer, as a symbol, indeed is the critical bridge; if cleared or executed one by one, it seems there’s a substantial chance to complete the mission as well.

Not to mention that with slight guidance, the Night Watchman would take measures to help.

If you’re patient and discreet, the risk level of this task indeed is not high.

It’s just that he chose the violent mine-clearing path, crushing through.

Then why is it said only he can do it?

The answer lies in the vanished attribute ”Inspiration”.

Indeed, the special constitution mentioned by the warehouse, in Fu Qian’s judgment, is likely this point.

It’s truly the rule intention of utilizing everyone’s capability; his current state is undeniably very subtle, the loss of Extraordinary Perception, apart from ranking, seems to have fundamentally differentiated him from ordinary transcendent beings.

And this abnormality was utilized by the warehouse—only such a self, upon being assigned the identity of the third factor’s owner, could resolve the issue without leaving sequelae.

Otherwise, it’s the eternal Hero slaying dragons turning into an evil dragon, not dreaming of gaining a purified third factor for containment.

In summary, this task wasn’t mercy, but this long-existing problem, on this day, finally welcomed someone capable of solving it.

...

Speaking of which, considering the warehouse’s style, it’s hard to imagine it would be so generous.

Arranging a simple task is one thing, once seeing the Administrator upgraded, the first thing to do is help find lost authority?

The fact proves that the term ’master’, just like the legendary Maid Mansion, only works effectively when requiring you to contribute something.

Once the transaction ends, there’s no more relation.

No worries, on one hand, he wasn’t harboring such beautiful fantasies originally, on the other hand, this trip’s gains are already quite substantial.

Not to mention the authority-handling experience earlier, the evaluation of ”pure new life” regarding the third factor in the mission summary indeed fires one’s imagination.

Is it not a piece fallen from the ancient gods, but directly a new authority?

So it’s ownerless? So that’s why it’s so easy to be desecrated?

With the example of previously pioneering the Divine Road, the situation is not unimaginable.

Turns out what he experienced is not absolute coincidence, similar occurrences still happen, the creation from nothing is indeed not Divine Position, but merely pure authority.

The only regret is the warehouse lacks description for its specific nurturing process.

Ancient deposits, is human spirit’s strength truly this strong?

Hard to say, but it’s clearly important to pay attention to follow-up developments over Lan Fyla’s side, and reactions from all parties.

Just as suspected in the task, it seems Gregor had an excessively active role in the promotion of this traditional culture related to the Dancers.

Including the lively development after the person was gone, always making one suspect there’s additional momentum behind it.

Of course, that’s a subject for later, for now, it wouldn’t hurt to research the reward content first.

Firstly, it undoubtedly once again proves that the Inspiration attribute doesn’t even reach zero.

The task rewards are all as usual, the quantity added to SAN Points is correct too, but Inspiration isn’t even mentioned.

He currently is indeed in some kind of special corrupted state.

As for the remaining reward... the name is somewhat peculiar.
