Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2215: Chapter 2210: 1-423

So it’s... two moons?

The process that seemed incredibly natural just now, essentially has another logic?

It’s not the manifestation shared by the Witch, but rather her interreflection with the Dark Moon in mid-air?

Then the meaning behind this seems quite extraordinary.

”Nightmare Corridor?”

Blinking, Fu Qian casually asked.

”Quite possibly... Even having such a connection, I still find it difficult to touch.”

The Witch indeed confirmed this thought.

”Interesting, so the reason the Death Star reacted so quickly just now is likely because ’His’ reaction was fast?”

Fu Qian pointed to the sky.

Given the situation of the Death Star, it is certain they will try everything to find a way, but the time for the Witch to stimulate and cause his reaction was indeed a bit too efficient.

While it can be attributed to the will to survive, at this moment, there clearly is a more reasonable explanation.

The one who responded to the Witch immediately was actually this Dark Moon overhead, which subsequently illuminated the path home for the Death Star.

As for why the response was so fast—because it is backed by the same source of power as the Witch.

But then why hadn’t it responded before? The Witch had been searching tirelessly for many years.

Was it because it was too well hidden, and without someone unlucky like the Death Star to help locate it, this discovery was a coincidence?

For Fu Qian, this reason is not convincing enough.

There is a logical order issue within.

The Dark Moon above reacted first, and after the Death Star attempted to ”descend” on the female giant, the Witch then traced the marks to locate here.

The Death Star may have contributed, but it does not involve the initial response process.

So is it because of the Nightmare’s great fusion that the originally hidden place, its distance to Rielertin and various Nightmares got closer, making the response more sensitive?

This is an explanation, if not for the Witch’s later comment—she still finds it difficult to touch despite this original connection.

These few elements added together, compared to before, seem to offer a more reasonable explanation—the source of the Dark Moon’s reflection is transcendent from this world.

It’s not just due to concealment, but certain changes caused the distances to shorten, resulting in such responsive reactions.

And among the many recent world changes, one of the most recent ones is what was discussed briefly with the Witch earlier—the Other Shore.

The paradox brought by themselves seems to have endowed this world with a special attribute.

And this special attribute is suspected to be related to the Nightmare Corridor.

Even the imprisoned figure inside, the Interlocutor, has already proven the Nightmare Corridor can affect this world.

...

In the corridor they have been traveling repeatedly, are there traces of the Witch’s ”mother”?

One must say this is explosive news.

”I don’t sense an active will, perhaps similar to here, it’s merely some kind of residue.”

Though the Witch’s next moment of supplementation made everything sound a bit more reasonable.

Just traces, not the person themself.

The Witch is now the indisputable symbol of the Dark Moon. If there were a second portion, it would indeed be strange.

And the original Dark Moon left traces here, then participated in the Long Night—it certainly can travel to both sides, the descendant must have a passage.

Overall, the probability of them walking the same path is not low indeed.

”But you still want to go have a look?”

While commenting in his mind, Fu Qian continued speaking.

Although emphasized as residue, according to what he knows about the Witch, she probably wouldn’t want to miss this clue.

Even if that place seems belonging to the Superior Being’s prison.

”I think it’s still very necessary.”

Just as expected, the Witch nodded.

”I can try to take you there.”

And Fu Qian, without hesitation, respects her opinion.

As for things like ”difficult to touch,” perhaps that only applies to the Witch, but don’t forget that not long ago, the two of them had completed a dimensional crossing together.

The place they went, even seemingly more difficult to touch than the Nightmare Corridor, was the Bookstore World.

So it is entirely possible to try repeating the technique, he could go ahead first, simultaneously bringing the Bone Chain in.

And theoretically, if he triggers the Extreme Hunger Infection once more at this moment, he can achieve that...

”But wait for me a moment.”

Fu Qian did not do so, instead extending his hand to remove the Emissary’s Mask.

Just in an instant, the familiar warehouse appeared again before his eyes.

...

Indeed smooth, it wasn’t just an accidentally occurring phenomenon before.

Realizing he successfully removed the mask and returned again, at that moment Fu Qian silently remarked.

To him, the warehouse already feels no different from the Bookstore World.

And considering, since long ago, he had been speculating about the possible special relationship between the warehouse and the Nightmare Corridor, the Witch’s speculation about marks from the Nightmare Corridor has also been somewhat corroborated.

Because of the ”Other Shore” attribute contamination, the significance of that world to the warehouse has changed, and to the Nightmare Corridor as well.

Then, due to the Witch’s stimuli, the traces of Dark Moon left in the Nightmare Corridor might be faint, but still reacted quickly.

It can only be said if this conjecture proves true, this discovery indeed deserves to be called a rational decision under a fortuitous coincidence.

If the Death Star hadn’t fallen in, then there’s every likelihood that the place just now, until shattered or vanished, still wouldn’t have been captured.

And if not for himself and the Witch’s previous operations in the Other Shore, and bringing out this special attribute, then even if that place was found, the Dark Moon’s marks in the Nightmare Corridor probably wouldn’t have reacted.

All things considered, Fu Qian still greatly agrees with the Witch’s judgment.

As for her decision, Fu Qian certainly doesn’t believe it’s merely to satisfy curiosity or similar.

”It’s very necessary” is not just talk, as things stand now, the riddles surrounding the Dark Moon are really too many.

Not to mention the Witch just suffered greatly.

If an overall grasp of the situation isn’t made, who knows, she might unknowingly step into another trap or endgame.

As for why agreeing with the Witch’s idea, even with the operational plan in place, he still let her wait for a moment?

There is definitely a reason.

Firstly, what is now being done, through removing the mask to return to the warehouse, a second verification of the previous conjectures, to minimize the possibility of overimagining.

Secondly, very simply, Fu Qian’s gaze fell on the table in front of him.

Exploring the Nightmare Corridor, unlike the task in the warehouse, can still be appropriately armed, so he returned for some items, lastly—

[Warning, leakage incident]

Sure enough, although theoretically the task was just completed.

But don’t forget he was forcibly pulled in then, which means according to warehouse standards, that moment was effectively the last of the day.

So theoretically, as long as he reenters the warehouse, the next day’s leakage will directly appear.

The leaked content may continue to help verify the speculations.
