Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2742: Chapter 2737: The Unknown True Name

Connection has been disconnected.

The reason for revealing the true identity of the Abandonment King, who is also the bookstore owner, is actually quite simple.

It’s a test to see if when Tyler’s object of invocation is ”Fu Qian” instead of the Abandonment King, combined with the original emblem, it can resonate with the Abandoned Prison.

This is by no means a trivial behavior; it involves a fundamental philosophical question—Who am I?

Reasonably speaking, ”Fu Qian” is undoubtedly my core essence.

Especially since it was mentioned earlier that there’s a special certification for the warehouse, and the SAN Points are bound to the name Fu Qian.

Combining this with the Vacuum Flower that possesses SAN Points elements appearing this time, we can further conclude that the name Fu Qian is bound to some core rules of the Bookstore World.

Then, is Fu Qian bound to the Abandonment King?

This question at first glance seems to have an obvious answer.

When this title was obtained, it was clearly stated that one would wear the Divine Skin.

Even when I further became one hundred and twenty percent the Abandonment King, the blood bar of SAN Points would still drop when it should, proving that my essence hasn’t changed; I am still that outsider Fu Qian.

But in this way, a question that hasn’t been deeply explored before becomes difficult to ignore—why has Fu Qian never received any invocation?

Indeed, since even the emblem of the Abandonment King is Fu Qian’s emblem, theoretically if someone had some special doubts, shouldn’t they be able to call me using the emblem plus the name ”Fu Qian”?

However, for such a long time, this kind of thing seems to have never happened.

Though for this situation, some explanations can be attempted.

For instance, the Abandonment King corresponds to the true Superior Being, while the pseudo-god ”Fu Qian” theoretically is still only Second Phase.

And in the chaotic foundation of the Bookstore World, without sufficient ranking, there’s no way to receive calls.

Even Fu Qian admits this is a guess that cannot be disproved for now.

But he is not the type to be content with just any explanation, so why not take the opportunity to test it?

As for the specific testing method, naturally, it involves having Brother Tyler, who is already interested, try combining the Abandonment King’s emblem with ”Fu Qian” to see if it can trigger a reaction from the Abandoned Prison again.

And to make the effect more persuasive, the first step must be to disconnect the connection, which is exactly what he just did.

What? What if after disconnecting the connection, one can’t return, or Brother Tyler doesn’t follow through?

No need to worry about that, it’s a destined showdown.

Fu Qian believes that even if one wakes up in the real world and doesn’t remember what’s happened here, deep in his heart, Brother Tyler will certainly have some impulse continuously rising—perhaps this is somewhat overly optimistic?

In this strong trust, Fu Qian silently watched the empty round platform after Brother Tyler left.

However, really a while has passed, and it remains empty.

...

”Where did you go? Did you run away?”

And worthy of being archrivals, in the silence Jiang En seemed to also sense the anomaly, and at a certain moment couldn’t help but show the posture of a victor.

”...Do you think you can escape? You can curse me just as you can curse yourself; being a coward is meaningless.”

Yet without the embellishment of the failure of the opponent, that pleasure seems not to last long, and soon Jiang En couldn’t help but speak again, mocking that this behavior is merely deceiving oneself.

Unfortunately, even though the language became increasingly sharp, no response came.

”Ha... Who would have thought that I, Jiang, a great man, would actually be as famous as something like you?”

Leading to already a cold laugh at the back, uttering a classic line—

”You’re talking nonsense!”

And classic is classic, at that moment actually succeeded in triggering a response, exactly Tyler’s voice.

Yes, just when Jiang En spoke the previous line, Fu Qian finally found the familiar silhouette in the rippling waves and casually threw a Crimson Angel over, repeating the previous resonance process.

Though ultimately slower than imagined, Brother Tyler did return as promised, and the first time he shouted to his rival.

”Useless, that so-called true name!”

However, the reasons seem not to be because of hearing the famous phrase and being irritated, but dissatisfaction with the test results.

It’s clear that although he came and went, his train of thought remains quite coherent.

”Useless? How is that possible!”

Jiang En, too, switched back to the main topic in a second, expressing disbelief at the test results.

...

Indeed, did he first try ”Fu Qian” and found it useless, then use Abandonment King to come in?

When earlier people weren’t seen for a long time, Fu Qian almost anticipated the test results, and at this moment, Tyler’s words further confirmed it.

It really didn’t work?

Clearly content related to SAN Points can be reflected in the Abandoned Prison, yet the original unified name still can’t substitute for the Abandonment King being called?

Why? Could it really be due to the lack of ranking as mentioned earlier?

Fu Qian still finds such an explanation rather dull, while seemingly foreseeing a sign of ominousness...

”Why not? It’s obvious the name is wrong... even if you’re making excuses, you shouldn’t choose one so easily verifiable.”

In this regard, Brother Tyler actually has little confusion, readily arriving at the answer, and simultaneously mocking Jiang En.

”Ridiculous, why should I make excuses, and besides it’s not me who said that, right?”

Jiang En naturally couldn’t stand this, immediately mocking back, indicating Tyler shouldn’t resort to spiritual victory.

”That’s right, I said it.”

At this moment, how could Fu Qian shirk responsibility, immediately stepping up again, decisively leading the situation.

Just saying there’s no need to worry about the disclosure of Abandonment King’s true identity.

Not to mention whether anyone will believe it, Shangjing’s two prides have already reasonably refuted that information in a moment, and now even oneself doesn’t believe it.

”I thought about it, and it was me who remembered the wrong person, the real name of the guy from the bookstore is Jade Soul Master.”

After being candid that the intelligence he provided was incorrect, Fu Qian blushed not at all while frankly giving another title.

Yes, he indicated that apart from the Abandonment King, there are many identities for himself.

If ”Fu Qian’s” ranking is insufficient, then Heart Demon Jade Soul Master should be enough?

Can the contestants, by calling with this title plus the emblem, receive Abandonment Prison’s response?

If knowing the answer to this question, then seemingly it can be compared with ”Fu Qian”, confirming whether it’s a ranking issue.

The testing is far from over, this is a whole set of solutions.

”Have any of you heard of it? This title is extremely mysterious, not those who are well-read and knowledgeable might not know.”

As for the two volunteers not necessarily cooperating? Fu Qian indicates that it’s simple; immediately smiling, he also proposed another competition event.
