Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2609: Chapter 2604: The Path of the Destined God

Sea of Ashes, the Red Moon still remains.

Predictably returning, Fu Qian found himself once again bathed in the crimson glow, even successfully stirring another ripple.

It was evident that although time theoretically stood still, for the Red Moon, it was still not difficult to perceive something.

And by discarding two dangerous items, and even organizing his equipment, Fu Qian undoubtedly endured an even more ”severe” scrutiny.

The most crucial point was that it seemed the reasons were exhausted, and from here on, he could only brace himself for the storm—

Little did he know that solutions often outnumber problems, at that moment Fu Qian directly put on ”Destined” again, completely covering his face.

Whew...

It was already far more than just a fluctuation at that moment; the moonlight seemed to be taking a deep breath, making one suspect that divine punishment was about to descend from the heavens to slay the rebel child.

”Rest assured, I’m fine, just watched a whale for a moment.”

Yet Fu Qian was unafraid, even indicating to the other side not to worry about him.

”So have you ever seen a two-headed whale?”

Not only that, his subsequent question was even more abstract, testing the other side in return.

Hm...

Unsurprisingly, the Red Moon had no intention of answering, no sound emerged.

Even after a few breaths of this stalemate, the scarlet moonlight slowly dissipated, as if giving up entirely on educating a child.

...

Is it really so?

Even Lord Rainbow of Radiance cannot perceive or interfere with this line?

Quietly watching this scene, Fu Qian felt no remorse, just silently drew a conclusion.

Indeed, no matter how vivid the changes before and after appeared, how familiar the overall sensation, he had a different view on the underlying reason.

”Not indulging in lies” and ”breaking lies” are two different matters.

Not even understanding why the Red Moon became this way, the specific reasons before and after, just thinking from a simple reminder that anchoring such a doomsday is what It wants?

Even if the Red Moon had gone mad, this line of thought was too coarse.

It was precisely because even in madness, the hint was so subtle rather than ”break the lie, rescue me,” making one more inclined to think it was really just a reminder.

Thus, under such a premise, the reason for its appearance required more deliberation.

Was it really to come and call one to account? Is there no other possibility—of course there is.

The last time he sensed this ”mother,” the other side was in confrontation with Lord Rainbow of Radiance.

Previous experiences were indeed bizarre, and the secrets involved were indeed remarkable.

But lest one forget, given the Red Moon’s state, even in ”reality,” its reactions were often not so sharp.

In such a scenario, could It really sense certain things happening in Mistaken Space-Time?

Instead of believing in such a possibility, Fu Qian was more inclined to believe in the other being confronting It.

As a perfectly intact Superior Being, the script contained traces of Lord Rainbow of Radiance, thereby proving It had exerted some influence over there.

To the extent that Fu Qian once suspected whether the accident with the Academy’s exploration team had Its contributions.

The specific details naturally were hard to ascertain, but one point could serve as a starting point for speculation, which was motive.

Why would Lord Rainbow of Radiance act over there? Even seemingly leading the exploration team into a dead end—the Crystal.

In the current situation, one thing seemed clear: for years, not only had the gods suffered from the onslaught of storms, but also they were constantly threatened by the crystalline curse.

It’s just that some knew, while others were unknowingly suffering from it.

For one as cautious with their life as Lord Rainbow of Radiance, it would be hard not to want to clarify such matters.

With this, the motive was immediately clear.

Precisely because certain dangers were already perceived, an unwillingness to touch on them further led to the thought of using others, finding expendables to test it.[/p]

Otherwise, as a well-intact Superior Being, It would have long since manipulated around the Inverted Lake numerous times, rather than waiting for the Academy seniors all this time.

It could only be said that the line of thought suddenly became much smoother, accompanied by an even more pitiful predicament those from the Academy once faced.

In summary, Lord Rainbow of Radiance certainly had considerable focus on this place.

So when I came here, and with the subsequent anomalies I induced, It would likely be one of the foremost characters to notice.

And as everyone knows, the Red Moon had confronted It more than once.

Under such circumstances, It’s understandable that due to Its actions inducing alarm, even paying attention to my anomalies, was much more reasonable.

As for how can Lord Rainbow of Radiance be so careless, being detected by an opponent with a not-so-bright mind?

Not necessarily careless.

A mad mother, a fallen rebel son without extraordinary perception, such a beautiful operating material.

A little guidance would be enough to create an irreconcilable misunderstanding.

For example, intentionally revealing Its whereabouts, enticing the Red Moon to confront It, then observe my reaction.

For Fu Qian, just casually fitting into it, such imagery was simply too beautiful.

And it was precisely this empathy that stopped him from easily concluding that the Red Moon came to call him to account.

Facts proved that upon perceiving his stance, realizing the result of Its investigation, Lord Rainbow of Radiance decisively left, and subsequently, the Red Moon quickly retreated.

It must be said that this is the limitation of the older generation of Superior Beings, excessively traumatized by the Dark Forest leading to hypersensitivity.

In fact, Lord Rainbow of Radiance didn’t know that It could have simply asked directly.

After all, Fu Qian was quite curious about Its reaction upon knowing the nature of the Crystal.

As for why from this, deduce that Lord Rainbow of Radiance possibly couldn’t perceive the Divine Road after putting on the ”Destined” mask?

One can only say it cannot be completely determined; it is merely Fu Qian’s inclination.

After all, had It detected such a peculiar demeanor, It could have attempted some additional operation to further stir the situation.

So although there was no candid exchange, Lord Rainbow of Radiance still helped test some things.

For instance, this Path of Godhood was not only stable but also concealed, like a task guide truly exclusive to oneself.

Though Fu Qian did not rush to complete the task, then sequentially removed two masks.

Returning to the warehouse to wait briefly, until the bloodstains on the Emissary’s Mask slightly recovered before putting it on, in front of him was the familiar second floor of the bookstore.

...

Quite nice.

Returning to Shangjing, over here the daylight was indeed bright.

After stretching, Fu Qian sat up from the bed, silently sketching the map of this world in his mind, and even the doomsday scenes he had once seen.

If such geographical rules were also just lies linked by the Crystal, it was increasingly curious as to what role the warehouse played within—hmm?

Amidst the musings, at a certain moment, Fu Qian’s actions halted, gazing at a corner of the room not far away.

Surprisingly, there was a person sitting there.

With bare feet, a bright red dress clinging closely to the body as if grown onto it... the Red Moon?
