Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2387: Chapter 2382: Zero

It’s quite reasonable; although Professor Ah Kai’s process of stabilizing his state was hurried, it didn’t seem to have any mistakes or errors.

On one hand, Fu Qian expressed concern about the situation Ah Kai mentioned, while on the other hand, he highly appreciated the knowledge shared by him.

For example, the term ”Mystery Affinity.”

The Miracle that helps in acquiring Divinity does not simply bring about physical or spiritual enhancements of the corresponding nature, nor does it directly impart knowledge; rather, it manifests as a difficult-to-quantify increase in perception.

On one hand, it makes the path of Miracle appear more intellectual, while also aligning with his previous impression.

Don’t forget that when Ah Kai first awoke, Fu Qian’s external perception device, the Burial Scroll, hadn’t been closed yet, and as a result, he didn’t perceive the Melia Mark similar to Snow Tree leaves from the former.

If upgrading the High Tier through the Miracle route grants certain blessings from the Superior Being, then such a phenomenon would inevitably have a significant impact on the just-reached conclusion—the recent conjecture of Melia’s triune possibility and its explanation for why Ah Kai fell into complete paralysis.

Yet to obtain the ”Ocean” blessing and still not sense a connection with the concept of Melia, wouldn’t that mean a counterexample is given on the spot, proving that ”Ocean” is unrelated to Melia, and the triune is not valid?

Now that the blessings only manifest abstractly in perception, it clearly becomes much better.

Fu Qian has already slightly considered ways to utilize this perception.

”Do you have the materials for Yesterday’s Miracle? I have something to share with you.”

The next moment, he directly signaled to Ah Kai.

He believes the probability should be considerable, after all, the other party just used it themselves.

...

”Ah? Yes, I do.”

At that moment, Ah Kai was somewhat surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

Professor Fu’s generosity always brings shock, but to say he had no expectations for this sharing would be dishonest.

Not to mention the abundant achievements in past events, anyone recalling the recent incident could detect the undisguised mystery surrounding Professor Fu.

The precision operation akin to a scalpel, the proper control of force, not a moment wasted, and even all human resources fully utilized... it truly is an astonishing leadership.

So at this moment, the confusion and worry in his heart, no one is more suitable to provide a reference opinion—and indeed, Professor Fu doesn’t mind offering some reference.

”Let’s begin.”

With a definitive response, Fu Qian made a gesture.

”Alright, it might not succeed in one go.”

Ah Kai did not waste time, quickly began the setup, and specifically reminded.

”I know; I hope it can succeed.”

Fu Qian just nodded, not even stating it must be achieved or anything similar.

This Miracle has only a certain success rate; Ah Kai had already mentioned this before.

Even if his ranking has improved, don’t forget his state is becoming more special.

Thus, ”Yesterday’s Miracle” is merely one of the relatively gentle options among the current methods thought of, hence chosen as the preferred attempt.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Kai had finished setting up, muttering under his breath, throwing a handful of sparkling dust in this direction.

...

Indeed, the success rate is not high, but it eventually succeeded.

Facts proved that it wasn’t until the third handful of dust was thrown that Fu Qian experienced a certain sense of déjà vu.

The legendary past is spread before his eyes, in one gaze savoring the peaceful years.

Does this indirectly prove that he hasn’t become a purely ”soulless” mechanical body?

Additionally, the proportion of tranquility in his career appears not to be very high.

Amidst the emotions, Fu Qian had already pinpointed the most turbulent recent period, the miraculous experience after eating mushrooms.

Even considering this experience is relatively long, he directly found the last scene where the ”real world” under the vibration of mycelium is violently torn apart, yet the Fungus Emperor did not appear.

Speaking of which, being able to share the experience of eating mushrooms with someone is indeed a wonderful thing in life.

The only question is how much of this scene of Professor Ah Kai can be comprehended?

This...

Brings comfort, Professor Ah Kai, whose ranking has improved, seems to have withstood the test.

Even though the sharing process was somewhat unsuccessful, the sentiments remain intense.

Until the effect of yesterday’s reappearance ended, the whole person remained standing there dazed, eyes blank.

...

The probability of Lord Meria being triune seems to have increased again.

At that moment, Fu Qian wasn’t in a hurry to disturb, merely patiently awaited, reaching a conclusion.

The main objective of the previous operation was actually quite simple; it was to continue the guess of triune, additionally utilizing the term ”Mystery Affinity” mentioned by Ah Kai.

Though at this moment the external perception had failed, it had already been proven before that he has a certain ”Melia” attribute.

If Ah Kai’s special affinity object ”Ocean” truly has a connection with Melia, then the memory shared by him should hold special significance more easily? Hence, more readily lead to enlightenment?

The situation at hand seems to prove this point; Ah Kai indeed appears to be spiritually bursting.

”What did you see?”

At a certain moment, as Ah Kai exhaled slightly, Fu Qian finally opened his mouth to confirm.

”Nothing at all...”

Though the answer obtained at first sounded rather unsatisfactory.

Ah Kai turned his head, his voice even carrying elements of sleep-talking.

”Describe it specifically.”

Fu Qian was not easily disappointed.

”Very strange... I seem to have sensed something, but the more I try to grasp it, the less I can, with a maddening falsehood... as if facing ’nothing at all’ itself.”

And the process appeared not easy for Professor Ah Kai, described full of pain, and the conclusion too was riddled with contradictions.

Maddening falsehood... finding there is only ”nothing at all”?

Fu Qian did not mind, at that moment still savoring carefully.

”Zero?”

And a moment later, facing the confused Ah Kai, he uttered a particular word.

...

As a number, zero can be considered a great invention.

It is even not merely a mathematical concept; transitioning from ”blank” to ”existence,” nothing is also everything... even from a philosophical perspective, it is a dangerous initiative.

So much so that before waiting for the pained Ah Kai to answer, at that moment Fu Qian already had a faint sensation, as if touching upon the answer to a question—

What’s going on with Melia? Why is ”not allowed” to exist? How is it achieved?

Answer, it might not be ”not allowed” to exist, but only permitted to exist in the form of ”zero.”

The similarity between Melia and Red Moon’s situation might be higher than it seems.

What twisted Red Moon is the ”moon,” and what twisted Melia is a more abstract concept, ”zero.”
