Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2268: Chapter 2263: Stunning Beauty

Amazed by its beauty.

At that moment, Fu Qian naturally found a fitting adjective.

Not only did it look feminine from behind, but even the front of the statue showed no signs of peculiarity, clearly displaying a human face.

What’s even more precious is that there was no headpiece, mask, or veil—none of these common coverings were present, presenting a completely natural face.

Of course, at first glance, such confidence was entirely understandable.

It was truly a face hard to forget.

Not only was it difficult to discern its age, but its aura was also ever-changing.

Seemingly gentle and loving like the Holy Mother, yet there seemed to be an inherent allure hidden within, igniting the most primal desires in humans with just one glance, even those endowed with divine nature were not exempt.

Despite the statue’s eyes being closed.

...

Different from the Witch.

Feeling that mystique, still did not hinder Fu Qian from reaching an initial important discovery.

Indeed, he was immediately comparing the appearances of the new and old Dark Moon, concluding they didn’t quite resemble mother and daughter.

Honestly, that was one of the core purposes of the journey.

From the first encounter till now, the Witch had shared quite a bit about her own experiences.

To the extent that, in Fu Qian’s view, her ”birth” seemed inherently odd.

A Divine Being born after Doomsday, inheriting the complete power of Dark Moon.

Not knowing why she was born, yet instantly aware she had a ”mother.”

Though possessing such unparalleled power, she later encountered the extremely targeted Star Law, being dragged away to be sacrificed without the slightest resistance.

Now it’s almost proven that her meeting with her Temple Knight carried some arranged factors—so could everything have been arranged?

From her birth to standing here at this moment?

Indeed, though Fu Qian felt this journey was perilous, facing the desire for freedom from five Superior Beings, the greater danger needed to be concerned with was the objective of this journey.

Let’s not forget, in more ordinary terms, the Witch’s actions now were akin to delivering a peerless prodigy to a reclusive ancestor.

Considering the increasing signs of arrangements, it couldn’t be ruled out that the First Generation Dark Moon was behind this moment.

It’s already been analyzed that why the Witch couldn’t resist the Stars’ Laws likely involved his intervention.

Then who can guarantee similar prohibitions won’t be here?

Thus, for Fu Qian, if the statue’s face had a high resemblance to the Witch’s, the risk in this aspect would be more concerning.

After all, every plan needs a purpose.

If the Dark Moon aimed to evade Doomsday, or had some personal issues, preparing to use special methods for rebirth, then many arrangements seemed more rational.

And if the statue bore a face as dazzling as the Witch’s, ultimately informing her ”you are me, I am you,” it would clearly be even more fitting.

Yet, this face was unusually open, excessively genuine.

Though the face was astonishing, it still fell short compared to the true Dazzling Visage.

Speaking of which, it wasn’t the first time the Pontiff achieved this level of suppression in terms of appearances—

In Em House Palace, addressing the Larea Family while promoting the Dark Moon Gospel, he also commented on the ”Face of the Divine Human” in such terms.

...

Different, but somewhat similar.

As a Pontiff-certified aesthetics connoisseur, Fu Qian was quite confident in some areas.

Upon seeing the True Face of Dark Moon, he was instantly reminded.

Having a special heritage, the Larea Royal Family’s Face of the Divine Human was undoubtedly an extremely special power, perfectly illustrating what the genetic code is.

Even at that time, Lord Rom was not hesitant to act, using the Reminiscence Record with determination.

The key was, with the effort of the Native Council, during that experience, he indeed saw the almost-formed Face of the Divine Human.

Also, astonished by its beauty.

Though overused words tend to cheapen, both faces lived up to it, even revealing a certain consistency.

Of course, Fu Qian confirmed it was not an exact replica but more of a resemblance in essence.

To describe it specifically, it was like plastic surgery, the Face of the Divine Human seemed sculpted based on the face in front of him.

Thus, the structure was alike, but the essence differed.

It’s truly hard to believe it was a mere coincidence, especially when the person here was already the mastermind behind many incidents.

So, does the talent of the Divine Human Family also relate to Dark Moon?

The topic of Order of Blood seems set to transition from a focus project to a core project.

”This item is reserved for me.”

Just as Fu Qian summarized his findings, arranging the next research plan, the Witch already gestured towards the statue’s hand, affirmatively speaking.

...

Was it indeed arranged for this moment?

The good thing about working with smart people is once obstacles are cleared, the advancement is astonishingly efficient.

Besides recognizing Blasphemy’s Embrace, the Witch indicated yet another item held in the statue’s other hand.

Differing from the former which was part of the sculpture, this hand resting on the chest directly contained an item.

It wasn’t a weapon to match the bow, but a small scroll.

Similar in grayish-white to the statue’s material, it was rather dull in color but precisely adorned and showed no signs of damage.

In short, at a glance, it exuded a rich academic air.

Though apart from its remarkable ranking, Fu Qian couldn’t feel much more from it, he evidently didn’t doubt the Witch’s confident judgment.

”Shall we try?”

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian casually confirmed with the Witch, not making any pointless concerns.

Indeed, having been specifically waiting here, the previously mentioned risk index seemed to spike once again.

But having come all this way, how could the Witch not claim this gift?

”Yes.”

Wasting no time, the Witch responded and stepped forward, grasping the scroll.

At that moment, Fu Qian seemed to witness a blue full moon, directly descending before him.

...

”It’s done.”

Even with the might of a Tyrant, seemingly unable to resist being enchanted by that splendor.

Fortunately, beautiful things are always fleeting; only a brief trance, and all settled, the Witch’s voice continued.

Turning to look, he saw the scroll now open in her hand, being scrutinized as if browsing the Covenant Book.

From Fu Qian’s angle, he could likewise see that the scroll indeed contained illustrations.

Unfortunately, though the form might differ, like the flowing patterns in the Covenant Book, they were completely unreadable.

But that’s okay, the interpreter was nearby.

”A fascinating item, and then... even if the laws reappear, the Stars cannot bind me anymore.”

The Witch lifted her head, sounding quite pleased with the findings.
