Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2511: Chapter 2506: Divine Oracle

Indeed, the adaptability is impressive.

It can only be said that with more than five hundred years of experience, even in a crisis, Her Excellency Selana has not lost her mind.

Faced with the sudden change, she immediately thought of the most direct application.

The purpose of asking the question now is simple. Since Laurie has recognized me, why not use this moment of clarity to confirm the identity of the person involved?

A good story was indeed told before, but having one more person to confront it better reflects the value of the story, doesn’t it?

Not to mention that in Sir Ah Wei’s story, Laurie originally played a relatively important role.

Even in his special state at the moment, as long as he’s willing to answer, it’s more reliable than usual.

The atmosphere instantly became subtle. You can see that while the Half-god of the Bloodline Clan is asking questions, faint fire bats are already dancing around her, and Laurie also reacted to her words, turning his head to look—

Uh...

However, seemingly frightened by what he saw, Laurie not only did not respond at that moment, but his throat even let out a suppressed low growl.

”Don’t be nervous.”

From any perspective, this response looks like a plot where a key witness is being intimidated, yet the problem is that standing there, Sir Ah Wei indeed seems to have done nothing.

Selana was clearly somewhat puzzled for a moment, speaking soothingly as she quietly took a step back to widen the distance.

Whew—

However, amidst the slightly heavy breathing, Laurie’s gaze remained fixed on her, his attention completely captured.

”Relax, answer my previous question.”

This time, Selana didn’t retreat further; her voice even turned cold, reminding directly in the form of a command.

Crack—

However, what responded to her was the sound of glass shattering.

Laurie still sat silently in his place, yet beneath the white hair, his face was fragmenting piece by piece, revealing the void-like glow underneath.

...

It’s beyond what can be described as the cultivation heart breaking; it seems with a little more stimulus, Mr. Laurie Sr. wouldn’t even need cremation.

Although the person involved still said nothing, this change allowed one to feel the point of it, the air suddenly felt quite silent, and Her Excellency Selana also did not pressure further.

”Why don’t I try asking?”

Faced with a stalemate, naturally, it calls for a professional to step in.

Fu Qian finally took action, stepping forward a few steps, casually confirming with Selana.

”...Feel free.”

Selana hesitated only slightly before choosing to let Fu Qian take the stage.

”Apologies for the intrusion, sorry for coming unannounced.”

Fu Qian acted without reservation, waving to attract Laurie’s attention, using much more commercialized wording.

Reassuringly, with Selana stepping aside, Laurie finally diverted some attention elsewhere. Successfully receiving this information, his eyes turned to Fu Qian.

And watching those terrifying cracks, with the faintly familiar light underneath, Fu Qian didn’t excessively seize the attention.

In the next moment, he made a gesture, signaling Laurie to continue focusing on Selana, asking a question nearly identical to the one posed by the Half-god of the Bloodline Clan earlier.

”Do you know how to address this revered figure?”

...

Ha, naïve.

The air was very quiet at that moment, but it didn’t prevent Fu Qian from noticing Selana standing there frozen, a villainous smile forming in his heart.

There might be some cleverness there, but true maneuvering is beyond what you can imagine.

Trying to reveal my true face through Laurie, have you considered that he might be more familiar with you?

Chasing after the gifted Demigod, the Greedy Worms have even risked the whole team in continuous danger.

The hope found after frantic searching, upon losing it again, stylishly walks up again, even greeting... the old man’s reaction is actually quite calm.

Indeed, for Fu Qian, he can fully imagine, once Laurie’s will is slightly more awake, what Selana would ask him.

However, this process can be said to almost verify the earlier speculation, which is that the Greedy Worms came to me because they settled on Selana nearby.

Now it indeed seems so.

Even how the Greedy Worms locked it down feels vaguely explained—

Whether there is intelligence support or not is hard to say, but don’t forget how exaggerated the Greedy Worms’ achievements have been this time.

Not only did they lock down the target they wanted during the transaction with Yasui, the target, as a Demigod, was completely unaware.

Even after the Demigod stumbled, they discovered it and came calling.

Such an unreasonable action, is there a possibility they truly received ”Death Overlord’s favor”?

Selana’s ranking may be Demigod, but the Greedy Worms clearly have an advantage in one aspect, which is greater affinity with the storm-bound Moore.

These past few days, using the special Realm of the Dead, they’ve sensed the presence of a female Demigod?

And have interpreted this inexplicable phenomenon as enlightenment from the great Abandonment King?

To say, understanding it this way indeed feels rather smooth.

In any case, Sir Laurie possessing relatively more consciousness than other Greedy Worms only makes Fu Qian feel comforted, without any worry about troubles.

”Yes...thank you very much.”

Even the person involved is cooperative. Laurie, who initially refused to answer, not only spoke, but his gratitude was so sincere.

In contrast, Her Excellency Selana became even more silent.

...

”No need to thank, don’t forget your promise to the club.”

The reason Laurie spoke gratitude was naturally due to prior cooperation.

Although there was significant coercion involved, why the Greedy Worms initially approached the Rebirth Club was always simple: to seize that hard-to-find clue.

Now, this unequal collaboration unexpectedly brought ultimate return, what’s strange about a sincere expression of gratitude?

Of course, there’s no need to be childish and mock such a matter; at that moment, Fu Qian simply responded with a cryptic sentence.

”How should I be addressed?”

However, Selana was not content to let it pass lightly, following up with a probing question.

”The blessed one...”

She finally received a response this time, though Laurie’s voice still carried a hint of trembling.

”Ancient Angel...”

Of course, it should tremble. The two titles given consecutively are indeed imposing, but the latter might be a bit too literal.

”Blessed...with the same blessing as them?”

Sure enough, after a brief silence, Selana seemed to directly ignore the second title.

The subsequent sentence was directed at Fu Qian, as if suddenly realizing a terrifying possibility, she spoke while surveying her surroundings.

”Death Overlord already told them I would come to this place?”
