Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2619: Chapter 2614: Only by Becoming the Answer Can One Approach the Answer

Remote control for the cat collar?

Yuan Shan’s words were quite understandable. As a teacher, Old Master Henry showed her much care and affection, gifting her more than just the Melia Flower Ball.

However, the specific effects mentioned made Fu Qian inevitably have some strange associations.

Mainly because this thing was indeed special. It didn’t seem to be for the students’ protection; rather, it was so students could always monitor their own state?

This inevitably reminded people of that night in Night Holy City. After a conflict, the next time they met, the imposing Old Master Henry had indeed turned into a cat, lounging under the windowsill basking in the sun.

At that time, there was speculation that Henry knew the nature of his own dual allegiance, so he entrusted a certain vital point to his student, allowing Yuan Shan to impose some restrictions on him at certain special moments.

And the item Yuan Shan mentioned gave an overwhelming sense of déjà vu in contrast.

Although, with such a critical item, Fu Qian certainly wouldn’t rudely demand a look unless the other party voluntarily brought it out.

”So you want me to think about what might have gone wrong with the old master?”

His next move was just a slight nod, confirming Yuan Shan’s purpose.

The priority was even placed before immediately fleeing to Night Holy City. Should it be said that Chief Yuan’s trust is heartwarming, or unexpectedly links deeply with his own image, so much so that she thought of him first?

”Or according to what you know, has anything happened recently?”

It seems that the latter was more the case; Yuan Shan nodded while expressing her bewilderment and just wanted to hear if Professor Fu had any bad news.

...

”Well, recently, quite a lot has happened.”

Being triggered by the Chief’s words, Fu Qian sighed with the weight of past events.

But considering the anxiety of the questioner, to start recounting one by one might lead to getting silenced just as the story begins.

”For instance, the name Melia, which your teacher doesn’t let you ask, recent signs indicate he is deeply entangled with that place at the Academy.”

Thus, Fu Qian’s response was expansive, directly bringing up a strongly related element with Henry.

”Oh? You think the teacher’s situation might be related to this thing?”

Sure enough, Yuan Shan’s eyes lit up, instantly becoming more spirited as she spoke, even pulling out a spherical object made of petal-shaped blades.

”Actually, I don’t really think that; I’m more interested in seeking his expertise in this area.”

Fu Qian took the Melia Flower Ball, fiddling with it, but his answer to Yuan Shan’s question was very cautious.

”So exactly when did you notice that item lost its sensing?”

Before Yuan Shan could express her thoughts, he had already continued to ask.

”One and a half hours ago.”

Yuan Shan did not drop the ball, her answer precise.

So soon...

With a thoughtful look, Fu Qian held a black and red ring in his hand, precisely the Tyrant’s Mechanical Fist.

It seemed about right, close to the start of the script in the Sea of Ashes.

...

Lord Rainbow of Radiance was indeed very concerned about the crystal, it seemed.

Try not to believe in chance coincidences, especially in this strange world where extraordinary powers interweave.

As for Old Master Henry, Fu Qian undoubtedly sees several core attributes.

The most distinct among them would be the Oath Taker of the Prism of Radiant Transformation.

At least a dignified Second Phase member and a retiree, it’s hard to imagine what could trouble him.

So nearly as soon as Yuan Shan mentioned her worries, Fu Qian thought of the entity behind him.

No matter if the balance is maintained skillfully or not, the old master clearly couldn’t shake off the influence of the Prism of Radiant Transformation.

And according to the time Yuan Shan mentioned, it was theoretically the moment I opened the door and touched the ”truth” of the world.

The Prism of Radiant Transformation was also looking forward to that moment, so some reactions not only alarmed the Red Moon but also affected the old master?

Connecting everything together seems to lead easily to a certain speculation.

But for this question to stand, one unavoidable point is why the Prism of Radiant Transformation has not fully uncovered the truth of the crystal curse or ”Doomsday” after all these years?

Even with the Academy’s exploration team back then playing as cannon fodder.

...

Feeling self-assured and respecting the opponent don’t contradict each other; never assume people are fools.

For Fu Qian, the entity with hands stained with much of his predecessors’ blood isn’t merely unscrupulous.

The ancient superior being, surviving to this day in perfect transcendence, such a character spending a thousand years on a subject without an ultimate conclusion?

An insufficient explanation wouldn’t suffice.

Yet, the real issue here seems that it shouldn’t be difficult for him to find a reasonable explanation—the Prism of Radiant Transformation lacks his unique physique.

Yes, the mechanical revised divine entity, pure crystal creation, even the doomsday anchor... Being a veteran force, it’s likely the Prism of Radiant Transformation keeps a respectful distance from the crystal kind of thing.

Just like those seen without full crystallization, it might be maintaining the best among them.

This even aligns well with the behavior of the Prism of Radiant Transformation, which is never exposing itself more than necessary.

But is it possible that precisely this aspect prevents it from accessing the truth?

Becoming crystal might be necessary to approach the crystal.

Though Lord Fool’s feat might have perished nineteen years ago, there’s still one meticulous warehouse.

Through special operational principles, it brought about that ultimate question for the world—did Doomsday arrive?

This question, supposedly simple for superior beings, has apparently caused considerable discomfort.

Wasn’t Lord Rom, closely related to the Inverted Lake, overly optimistic about this issue?

It’s precisely because of this suspicion of an existing principle—that only those whose essence is closer to Doomsday can see the truth.

Meaning the divine beings can only confirm that what they saw before was mere illusion once fully crystallized.

Frankly, the principle might not be clear yet, but it seems quite technical—hard to believe it’s just warehouse design or Fool’s heritage?

In conclusion, admitting this makes the various schemes and competitions of superior beings seem reasonable.

The reason this is the true issue is that reverse reasoning increases the likelihood that his unique physique indeed makes him the doomsday anchor.
