Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2698: Chapter 2693: Establishing Contact

Indeed different, but each has its merits.

The form the Angel Envoy exhibits, even Fu Qian had to admit, is more ’dragon-like’ than himself.

At the same time, the sense of discord was strong, as if triggering the uncanny valley effect.

It’s clearly so alike, yet just a step away, and instead becomes a desecration of the concept of the Giant Dragon — actually, there’s nothing wrong, isn’t this what the Dragon King did as well?

Fu Qian, as always, remains inclusive, feeling no problem with Brother Apostle on this side.

The Dragon King itself doesn’t even have any scales, making maneuvers akin to wearing a wig; isn’t it fine for its followers to be bald as well?

In contrast, the actions of the followers seemed even more discordant.

Which household’s Angel Envoy gnaws at their object of following until they drool a mouth full of oil?

”Mm... If it were you, that would be fine too.”

His gaze steadily swept over the Angel Envoy, and finally, Fu Qian let out a long sigh, casually stealing lines from Deceiver Patch, deeply feeling that the academic integrity index of this expedition was really low.

The scales are fake, the Dragon King is fake, the Angel Envoy is fake, even the words are not original...

”This is desecration.”

The only consolation is that the Angel Envoy’s faith seems very genuine.

Faced with Fu Qian’s recognition, the other party decisively expressed non-recognition in reverse, even using harsh wording.

Moreover, it must be said that the transformation makes a difference, even the voice becomes much more majestic.

”Yes.”

Meanwhile, recalling his deeds towards the Dragon King, Fu Qian deeply felt that this wording was not even harsh enough.

”However, I still believe this power is closer to It.”

Even so, Fu Qian did not blindly back down, suddenly changing his tone, insisting that what he has is the orthodox of the Dragon King.

...

It’s evident that this one really recognizes value.

Though it’s just posing, and even a fleeting moment, the impact caused by the Dimensional Poison still leaves an unforgettable impression on the opponent.

Casually countering, Fu Qian could see the internal turmoil on the Angel Envoy’s grim face, but they stubbornly refrained from violently exterminating the heretic.

Of course, achieving this effect actually has technical backing.

The Dimensional Poison is a core ability of the Dragon King, even avoided to use usually to prevent exposing identity, which is all intelligence provided by the warehouse.

Even during the re-enacted Night of King Slayer, the Dragon King confirmed this point through its own actions.

It is this prior confirmation that led Fu Qian to decide to impersonate using it.

Even needing to combine it with the opponent’s mental and cognitive state, to avoid playing the lute to the cow.

In short, it’s akin to pure dancing on a knife’s edge, something kids should ideally not learn in everyday life.

Fortunately, it seems like a wise person with discernment is indeed encountered now.

This incredible resentment, in Fu Qian’s opinion, is still relatively classical.

Any self-styled orthodox, upon discovering a role more orthodox than themselves, often react this way.

And the first thing they want to do is question the other’s heritage.

”Is that so? Then let’s see who is really closer to It.”

Sure enough, the Angel Envoy immediately continued to prove this point, without even questioning why a few mere teeth were more aligned with the Dragon King than his full transformation.

Instead, he turned towards the clothes mound of the Dragon King, assuming a solemn demeanor, raising both claws, one above and one below.

...

Does he really seem quite devout?

Fu Qian kept his gaze fixed on the others, missing no detail, and the Angel Envoy’s actions were undoubtedly quirky.

The right hand above and the left hand below, respectively aiming at the forehead and the abdomen, then slowly grasping, eventually gathering at the chest.

Aside from feeling this motion, what Fu Qian is more curious about is the opponent’s reaction from start to this point.

In such a peculiar examination place, the most taboo thing is taking things for granted.

The other claims to be the Dragon King’s Angel Envoy, is he really the Dragon King’s Angel Envoy?

Though it seems the mind-control technique was highly successful, shocking the opponent all along while also provoking anger.

But for Fu Qian, he never gave up the possibility that the other is just performing, testing his reaction.

Two reasons support this point, the first being the actions at the entrance.

As an Angel Envoy feasting on a Superior Being, shouldn’t he be somewhat excessive?

The second is the location of the appearance.

Indeed, referring to God’s Burial Ground.

A stranger with normal human appearance and mentality, as long as they appear in such a place, Fu Qian’s first reaction is leaning towards the direction of the Night Watchman.

Especially since this Blood Lake seems to be their primary observation area, and the previous cellmate case witnessed personally.

Yet, after communicating all the way with suspicion, it must be said, the other’s behavior, really does carry a bit of a fanatic’s flavor.

Moreover, this action, although Fu Qian hadn’t seen it before, he could even understand its meaning — umbilical cord.

At the Dragon Summit Inn, during the annual good day, under the reflection of Soul Butterfly wings, a being there will have worm-like umbilical cords drilling out of their body, located precisely at the forehead, chest, and abdomen.

He once confirmed with the Dragon King’s Sworn, Sunny, that the way to establish the oath is to completely grasp these three umbilical cords.

From this perspective, looking down, Brother Apostle’s action seems suddenly expressive.

Moreover, there’s an early conclusion in oath-related research that certain actions might symbolize extremely crucial meanings, so don’t pose randomly.

If this applies to the Dragon King’s side too, as the inventor of the oath, having specific worship actions in many years of faith would indeed be normal.

And Brother Apostle appears to genuinely know this action.

...

Have truly encountered a Dragon King’s Sworn, or a believer? Sunny’s senior brother here?

Thanks to a good habit of research usually, at a certain moment, Fu Qian seems to have reached a conclusion.

Although Brother Apostle doesn’t seem to want to communicate, merely eyes on the nose, nose on the heart, continuing the posture.

Fortunately, without needing him to say anything, Fu Qian completely understands his intention.

A Transcendent, after all, need not use eyes to see.

His actions should always be under the other’s surveillance.

And now, after demonstrating, the other is waiting for his reaction.

You claim to be closer to the Dragon King, prove it to me.

This action is undoubtedly easy to mimic, but as mentioned earlier, the meaning behind it might be quite substantial.

Additionally, considering this validation method, there’s reason to believe that for the Angel Envoy, even with a mere imitation, he has methods to discern.

Not to mention the risks of imitation are considerable too, theoretically, one careless step could establish a connection, seeing the Dragon King — which is precisely what is desired, otherwise, what’s the purpose here this time?

With a cold snort, Fu Qian has already followed without any psychological burden, with impeccable action.
