Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2636: Chapter 2631: The Eight Evil Women (7)

Overwhelming dominance.

It is said that true strength never requires loud shouting.

Su Gao’s response was neither solemn nor playful, and even logically somewhat disjointed.

Yet, that final soft-spoken sentence rendered Nepheli speechless.

If you proactively reveal yourself and coexist peacefully, that’s naturally wonderful, but if you do nothing and just hide away, the trench will still be filled.

Because, firstly, this situation has been identified as someone causing trouble, and secondly, the one causing trouble will surely die, so the issue will be resolved.

Whether they discover where or who it is at the time won’t affect the final result.

Indeed, if being strict, there are many points to refute, but that kind of confidence imbued with the characteristics of Executioner Yan, absolute confidence quietly emanating, won Fu Qian’s admiration on one side, while practically leaving the involved party slightly blinded.

Not only that, but even the two beside were also implicated.

Yuan Shan and Wen Li, momentarily accompanied silence, gazing out the car window reflecting on life.

”Now I truly believe it’s really you...”

The subtle atmosphere persisted for nearly half a minute, and the outside view remained unchanged, still echoed with white mist on deserted streets.

Within this isolated and independent scene, Nepheli finally adjusted her emotions.

When speaking again, there was no doubt about Su Gao’s identity.

”It’s just, how could someone like you be trapped in such a place?”

Subsequently came the puzzlement.

”Or to put it another way, I cannot imagine anything capable of entrapping you.”

...

Isn’t the evaluation too high? Is Su Gao so well known within the Native Council?

Nepheli’s words undoubtedly incite thoughts, no longer describable as mere praise.

Having just stated their entrapment here with no way out, the next moment, disbelieving that Su Gao too could be trapped, the contrast was stark.

Moreover, considering the dialogue earlier within the car was likely overheard by Nepheli, it implies that while for unknown reasons her evaluation of Su Gao was exceedingly high, the face and name did not quite match.

How did this situation arise?

Though seeking logic within a virtual world is laughable, Fu Qian naturally thought of the organization behind Nepheli at that moment.

The Native Council has always been widely active; could it be they’ve interacted with Su Gao?

”Do you know who she is?”

It’s relieving that Nepheli explained her confusion voluntarily without needing to be urged, turning to ask the others remaining.

”Just found out... but from your tone, there’s something we don’t know?”

Yuan Shan appeared focused on driving, Fu Qian considering his voice cord, didn’t rush to speak, leaving Wen Li as the one to respond for the moment.

”Of course, today’s luck seems good, not only meeting a kind-hearted person but accidentally uncovering an incredible secret.”

Even with only one person engaging, Nepheli still smiled happily, motioning towards the front-row passengers.

”Why doesn’t Lord Su Gao take out that item and let them see? I believe it’s bound to leave a lasting impression.”

Thing?

Nepheli described it so incredibly, even the listeners had to pay attention.

Even the driving Chief Yuan observed intently with a sideways glance.

Unfortunately, the person beside didn’t have much decoration, only a uniquely shaped long sword that was somewhat special—click!

In the light sound, the sword had even been slightly unsheathed, revealing a chilling edge.

But it lasted only a moment before quickly being sheathed again, all while Su Gao didn’t even turn around.

...

Don’t bother me, or you’ll die.

The sword in Su Gao’s hand was, of course, not ordinary, but as a Swordsman, Fu Qian also didn’t consider it to be earth-shattering.

So instead of being a display upon invitation, the action seemed more a rejection via body language, indicating she had no interest in conversing with Nepheli.

Haha...

From the latter’s reaction, this interpretation seems valid, Nepheli displayed a hint of awkwardness after being refused, though she didn’t seem prepared to give up.

”Since the person involved is unwilling to demonstrate, I’ll describe it instead... It’s said to be a dice made of special material, thus capable of bringing special good luck.”

Now not pestering Su Gao, she directly satisfied the curiosity of Yuan Shan and Wen Li, referring to the item mentioned... the Bone of the Gambler?

Fu Qian recalled a small trinket he once gifted to Su Gao, wondering in surprise at the high topic density within such a space-time, questioning his discernment.

”As for luck, whether it actually works I don’t know, but it seems there’s a special contract tied to it.”

Amid Fu Qian’s musings, Nepheli quietly observed Su Gao’s reaction, ensuring the direct discussion didn’t prompt any response, she continued boldly.

”What contract?”

And sure enough, Wen Li’s interest was piqued, casually asking.

”Some kind of oath? Not quite sure.”

Having support, Nepheli became even more animated, first shaking her head, then gesturing outside.

”All I know is through that special link on it, Lord Su Gao can extract from any space-time a truly belonging to her Broken Sword.

”It’s said to have been stained by real Divine Blood, and because broken, it craves. Towards all Transcendent beings, the sword possesses an insatiable desire, destroying them while simultaneously offering its bearer unlimited nourishment.”

...

What is all this? Professor Nepheli, have you mixed it up?

Originally excitedly playing the audience, Fu Qian at that moment couldn’t help but frown at what he was hearing.

It’s not quite nonsense, theoretically, the pieces Nepheli mentioned are mostly factual, impressing one with the Native Council’s intelligence system.

But the causal links within feel excessively speculative.

As if intermittently glimpsing slices then inferring the plot—could it be that Lord Rom truly shared slices with them?

Feeling both bewildered and faintly hinting at an explanation, Fu Qian pondered.

From Nepheli’s prior statements, one knows, Rom despite being in poor condition, occasionally guides them, bringing some forbidden knowledge.

In such a situation, helping them see some fractured scenes isn’t entirely impossible.

Especially given the current scenario is essentially fabricated, pursuits aim only to make sense.

”And I’m fortunate to have not only heard about it but to have truly witnessed Lord Su Gao thrust that deadly weapon into the Divine Body.”

In her attempts to comprehend, Nepheli had once again uttered earth-shattering revelations, showcasing Su Gao’s truly astounding feats.
