Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2475: Chapter 2470: The Complete Story

Of course, it was the Abandonment King who told me.

A rhetorical question that I believe can help Lady Selana review the entire emotional journey from Shangjing to Moore.

After all, although Fu Qian’s tone of questioning was flat, you could still feel the incredulity in it.

”You seem to have forgotten my reminder... Just answer the question.”

Sure enough, the next moment there was a sneering laugh, and Lady Selana clearly recalled the prelude, issuing a blunt warning.

”Understood.”

Fu Qian had no objections, though he also showed little fear.

”Who do you think told me?”

Indeed, without bringing up the past in Shangjing, Selana followed up on what Fu Qian said and continued to ask.

”That’s the part I find incredible... Theoretically, even Ji Yin shouldn’t know this noble name.”

Fu Qian was naturally pleased with this development, taking a deep breath.

Selana acted this way because she realized that the matter wasn’t simple and wasn’t in a hurry to reveal her identity, thus feigning mystery to extract more information.

But there’s no need to dwell on the past of Shangjing, which is also a development he’s glad to see, as it can save him a lot of time and effort.

”Aren’t there other people?”

Selana’s voice revealed no emotion.

”They’re the same.”

Fu Qian continued to casually spill astonishing secrets.

”To be specific, I might be the only one who knows this secret. To Ji Yin and the others, ’His’ noble name has always been the Abandonment King.”

...

As long as you work hard enough, even the truth can deceive.

At that moment, Selana did not rush to respond, and Fu Qian believed that one of the questions racing through her mind had to be how that mysterious bookstore owner came to know.

”Why does it sound even more unreasonable then? Since it’s such a secret, why did you ask outright and let me know just now?”

It was not that easy to deal with; after some thought, Selana immediately pointed out this seemingly harder-to-explain contradiction.

”Because I wanted to know if you knew.”

Unfortunately, whether it’s difficult or not is relative, and Fu Qian answered without the slightest pause.

...

For ”Selana,” the conversation was becoming somewhat convoluted.

”You must be a Demigod, right? Please don’t worry, we had no knowledge of your arrival.”

As she fell silent once more, the ”Captive” earnestly observed her, trying to gauge her reaction.

”It’s just that upon realizing we have no ability to resist, I checked your potential intentions and showed some value.

”The facts prove it’s really not simple. I believe we completely have the possibility of collaboration.”

The reasoning, to be honest, was rather thin, but in Fu Qian’s view, it should already be sufficient.

”Oh? Collaborate on what?”

As expected, the newly introduced keyword immediately piqued ”Selana’s” interest, prompting an offhand confirmation, while the past grievances in Shangjing were no longer mentioned at all.

”Stop Ji Yin.”

”Laurie” sounded like he had long since been prepared and immediately gave the answer again.

”As long as your purpose isn’t to kill us all, I think this is what we must do first.

”Moore is too dangerous; I always feel like something is about to happen, not something small fish like us can meddle in.”

Heh...

”Unfortunately, that’s your own business. Perhaps you should have stopped it before he came.”

After quietly listening, the person in the shadows merely let out a laugh.

”It is indeed our own matter...”

Attracting angel investments isn’t that simple, and at that moment, Fu Qian sighed softly, though it was impossible to hear any dissatisfaction.

”I don’t wish to speculate about Your Excellency’s identity either; I just want to say that if you’re interested in the ’Death Overlord,’ then there’s no conflict between us on this point...

”Once something happens to Ji Yin, we won’t completely accompany him in burial, but the noble name of Death Overlord might completely lack the chance to have power again.”

...

Deception and betrayal, everyone in this world is always mixing together like this.

Ultimately, the noble name of ”Death Overlord” was weighty enough, throwing it out immediately almost verified Selana’s identity, and also made her thoughts become impure.

Under careful nurturing, at this moment those thoughts were clearly already flourishing, attempting to explore the secrets of the Death Overlord, and even that of the bookstore owner with the surname Fang.

”So you are His followers? Then why don’t you know His true noble name? And if others don’t know, how do you know?”

However, as a Demigod, she naturally did not want to be easily used.

”Selana” for the time being only replied noncommittally, even casually confirmed the core secrets—

It’s to be expected.

Chasing the murderer across a thousand miles is not for charity. Knowing that Moore was not simple, why take the risk for nothing?

”That’s right; we ants have always been the followers of the Death Overlord. We’ve even always been trying to pass on His gift, but unfortunately, things haven’t been going well recently, leaving us with no choice but to hide everywhere.”

Upon being asked, Fu Qian answered without batting an eye, stringing the events together.

”You haven’t answered the most important question: why do you know? How come they don’t?”

”Selana” was not about to let him get away easily, refusing any avoidance tactics.

”Wei...”

In response, Fu Qian finally paused for a moment, then uttered a name.

...

”I’m not sure where he came from, how he exists, but obviously, there’s always been such a will, standing between us and the ’Death Overlord.’

Reflecting on an old friend trapped in the Unseen Hillock, along with the past imagery and words, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

”For a long stretch of time, we even didn’t know who ’He’ actually was, and the noble name of the Abandonment King appeared for the first time in Shangjing. Everyone heard it, but I didn’t tell them I heard more...

”Perhaps being at the top of this chain is the reason I knew the name Wei and learned he encountered some kind of mishap, leading to some covering disappearing.”

Quietly, many clues were beginning to connect, while ”Laurie” seemed to no longer care and just wanted to spill the secrets in his heart.

”And in the exploration of that name, the noble name of Death Overlord was gradually replacing what we had heard until I increasingly believed that was what the insignia truly pointed to.”

Oh?

The twists and turns of the plot were so riveting that it was clearly drawing ”Selana’s” attention.

Even at that moment, beneath the shadows, it seemed possible to see her nodding slightly.

”It’s a good story... but are you taking me for a fool?”

However, when speaking again, the words were utterly shocking.

”You’re telling me only you sensed it while others didn’t? Are you saying that at that time you had already severed the connection in sensory terms?”

Casually pointing out the fatal flaw in the story, ”Selana” now exuded a sudden murderous intent—

”Sensory sharing is one-way, from bottom to top.”

Unfortunately, it stopped abruptly next.
