Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1952: Chapter 1947: Mathematical Euphoria (8)

Following local customs has always been a virtue.

For Fu Qian, deeply aware that he has gradually understood the captivating aspect of Paradise, dealing with the current situation is clearly a technical challenge.

To be honest, what lies ahead still seems like a good opportunity.

Whether it’s helping Kako or accepting Brother Strong’s help, both are clearly efficient opportunities to integrate here.

It can even confirm, based on comparisons and changes over time, how the insights these lucky ones have explored over the years truly work, providing a reference for completing the task.

On the way here, Kako mentioned briefly that there is no special pattern for entering Paradise, people from different ages converge here, some even lack virtue, seemingly purely by luck.

Of course, everyone who comes to this place has already put down their weapons and achieved instant enlightenment, now merely seeking a higher level of Transcendence.

Unfortunately, Fu Qian agrees with their judgments and understands their pursuits but does not quite endorse the methods they use.

It’s not out of disdain for their wisdom; rather, because of valuing it greatly, such judgment arises.

Even in the current brief encounter, it’s enough to see that the city has reached an extreme level of obsession, employing every conceivable way, even creating the spectacle of a Sin City.

It’s challenging to the imagination, but essentially, these are indeed answers derived from years of pondering and enlightenment, the crystallization of wisdom.

Though the effects are worrying.

According to Kako, cases of being considered as jumping out of Reincarnation, Shattering Void, and enjoying higher dimension freedom appear quite seldom, each incident celebrated nationwide.

And as mentioned earlier, Fu Qian never entertains the naive thoughts akin to those of a Child of Destiny.

A group of people, not too dumb, striving day and night for what is unattainable, would I merely need to follow suit, with a bit of clever improvement, to hold a gratifying outcome and gain worship from thousands?

This overly underestimates the power of obsession; such occurrence, in Fu Qian’s view, has a very low probability.

Even if it does happen, the first thing to do wouldn’t be rejoicing but ensuring by various means whether it’s a trap to avoid.

Conclusively, Fu Qian deems this Sin City before him only demonstrates one thing—they’ve taken the wrong path.

The thinking is erroneous, with a higher possibility of this notion being accurate.

In the information current discerned, is there anything contrary to their thinking?

Seems there is, like murder being a grave crime.

”What have you done?”

At this moment, behind a tightly shut door, Kako, witnessing the terrifying scene, finally lets out a gasp.

”Stubborn... caught in the evil’s clutch...”

Meanwhile, the fleeting shock on Brother Strong’s face morphs into a serene expression despite his pain.

As if suddenly knowing fate, he fixates on Fu Qian with critique.

”Humph, no one can force me to do what I dislike.”

To this, Fu Qian merely snorts, assessing the speed of the other’s blood flow, choosing not to deliver another blow.

Contrarily, he even continues the role of a resistive figure facing gang threats, helping the two before him avoid failure.

”Thank you for your help, I’m now thoroughly certain that what I do is all by my own heart.”

Brother Strong’s cultivation is evidently lacking, neglecting such a grand chance at martyrdom.

Similar to the Charity Association offering others opportunities to give, this is also a ”grave crime” cost paid for the enlightener’s sake.

Though Fu Qian still doesn’t deem it useful, it seemingly bears more weight than him simply playing a gang member.

Sure enough, the next moment, the enlightened Brother Strong has completely regained his calm tranquility.

”Corpse poison hasn’t cleared.”

Seated on the floor gazing this way, pain and life’s ebb no longer seem to affect his state of mind, only quietly making his final assessment.

...

Essentially, deliberate reverse manipulation hoping for extra gain also seems to fall under the category of cleverness.

Even though he may not understand Shattering Void ascending to a higher realm, concerning Non-human Reincarnation involving grave crimes, Kako and others clearly have substantial grasp, and that doesn’t appear to be good.

But precisely this is the root cause.

Between cleverness and judgment, a crucial criterion is having the awareness to bear extreme consequences.

Precisely due to severe consequences, in Non-human Reincarnation, Kako and others evidently have sparse knowledge.

Without harboring high expectations, merely knowing that by paying the price, there’s higher likelihood to discover new things.

If it’s ordinary times, Fu Qian might not rush to take such dangerous attempts.

But the shocking task ID and capability item constraints leave no room for luck.

Let’s not forget his task is to ascend to the higher realm, where lies an unavoidably problematic question—the whereabouts of those originally ascending?

On the way, Kako explained that those jumping out have become elusive entities to Paradise residents, unable to trace their presence is normal.

This point Fu Qian does not object to, but can they reverse and see traces here?

This possibility seems quite substantial.

And that implies, as a newly joined ”young”, targets easily locked by natives, he’s very likely under higher dimension observation.

According to Fu Qian’s rich task experience, this similarly carries a high probability of being unfavorable.

Some adventurous deeds are best done sooner.

Not merely due to possible SAN Points deficiency later, but to avoid walking blindfolded for too long.

”Seems this one is about to re-enter Reincarnation, will it occur immediately upon death?”

While pondering, the ground beneath turns crimson; Fu Qian observes Brother Strong approaching his final moment and glances at Kako.

”Yes, thorns will encircle him, blossoms will sprout from him.”

True to his expectations, Kako has resumed calm, describing changes reminiscent of those blooming flowers outside.

”So his sacrifice still hasn’t awakened you?”

Furthermore, the next moment, she even steps closer, her gaze again fervent.

Really nice.

”Then when will my retribution come? Enter Reincarnation to endure non-human torment?”

In admiration, Fu Qian once more ignores her, points at himself to continue inquiring.

”... It may come at any moment, in any form.”

Kako’s response is slightly enigmatic, her gaze briefly tranquil before shifting back to Brother Strong.

Indeed, an unusual fragrance starts emanating from above him.
