Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2681: Chapter 2676: The Club’s Hidden Hand

To treat others sincerely, one should receive sincerity in return, but sincerity also varies in weight.

For instance, Professor Fu’s secrets are truly too many; if he were to reveal them all, Lady Selana might not be able to handle it.

Ultimately, as a reward for the other’s progress, Fu Qian chose to share the love and hatred between him and the Rebirth Club.

And it could be seen that just this portion of knowledge was already quite a lot for Selana to digest.

”I originally thought... that Heaven’s Commencement Institute was no different from them.”

For instance, after just a moment of silence, when she spoke again, she seemed to have understood Fu Qian’s motives.

At the same time, from her self-narration, one could faintly hear some prejudices against the Academy.

It can only be said that especially over at Heaven’s Commencement Institute, their image has indeed not been very good.

”For the Night Watchman, we are much more eye-catching.”

Fu Qian shook his head, immediately seeking justice for his own unit.

”Indeed, the Archipelago over there might very well have thought of gathering trash together.”

Selana’s unceremonious comment continued.

This attitude can actually be understood; the Bloodline Clan has always been synonymous with noble bloodlines.

The idea of the Rebirth Club, which allows the Transcendent to break through the boundaries of bloodlines, is a greater profanity to them than to others.

”But you still couldn’t accept it and chose to directly eliminate the trash... And for the Night Watchman, such an action is neither here nor there; even if they know about it, they aren’t interested in troubling you.”

Sure enough, Selana benevolently speculated on Professor Fu’s motives, directly saying it outright.

In her imagination, perhaps reckless, but as an intellectual, Professor Fu clearly has some sort of mental cleanliness.

Even though the Archipelago over there was already like a garbage dump designated for the Night Watchman, he still couldn’t stand it and took some actions.

”They indeed know.”

Professor Fu confirmed her statement, recalling his exchanges with Yuan Fang and Li Weixuan, continuing to speak honestly.

...

”It seems I have learned some incredible things. Apologies for having misunderstood you all along.”

Even though she wasn’t so willing to admit it, Selana was obviously moved by the pleasant exchange this time, sighing softly.

”How could that be? There could be many motives, but with the Night Watchman, naturally, I pick the pleasant ones to say.”

Unfortunately, the person involved immediately indicated not to feel apologetic, with a mysterious smile.

”I’m still quite interested in their technological accumulation.”

Hmm...

”Professor Fu truly is aboveboard.”

Staring at such a face, the feeling of the exchange somewhat differed.

For a moment, even if the other party candidly expressed the idea of opportunism, Selana still couldn’t bring herself to speak sarcastically, trying to find the bright spots.

”Thank you for the compliment, but mentioning these is mainly to answer your previous question.

”The background of the Rebirth Club is far deeper than it appears. After the matters of the Archipelago are settled, even more incredible things crop up.”

This kind of evaluation for Fu Qian seemed rather rare, so as a return, he immediately reminded not to let himself gloss over the problem.

”So you’ve chased all the way here and really discovered something...”

Accidentally almost going off-topic, being reminded, Selana also refused to be outdone, quickly linking the cause and effect, seemingly understanding the driving force behind many events in Shangjing over the past days.

”Yes, and this time I’ve indeed discovered some incredible things.”

Such an apt reaction, Fu Qian was naturally very satisfied, to the extent of continuing with generous sharing.

”What things?”

With such a character using a solemn tone, Selana inevitably became curious.

”Do you know that in the Rebirth Club, it’s suspected that someone has already ascended to become a New God?”

...

Even after making a strong mental preparation, it was clear at that moment, Selana was experiencing an explosive shock.

That organization, known only for taking the evil path, actually had someone who had already advanced to the First Phase?

Just by stacking an Extraordinary Body on themselves like building blocks, they managed to truly control power?

Even though it’s widely rumored in the industry that the Rebirth Club has achieved some astonishing feats, including the ongoing intense conflicts between groups, wherein their silhouette seems to be visible.

However, certain things still have too substantial a difference...

”Does the Night Watchman know?”

Regaining her speech capability slightly, the next moment, Selana couldn’t wait to ask a question.

”Perhaps they have some concept, but not necessarily clear.”

It must be said that as a symbol of world order, the image of the Night Watchman is still deeply ingrained in people’s minds.

Even a player like Selana, when encountering situations that make her feel powerless, instinctively confirms their control.

And Fu Qian, recalling his past remote confrontation with Lan Fyla, gave a rough evaluation.

”Yuan Shan probably doesn’t know.”

Before she could ask more, he continued to add.

”Understood.”

It was obvious that the next question Selana wanted to ask indeed was that; upon being preempted, she was momentarily stunned before nodding her head.

If the local Chief of the Night Watchman doesn’t even know, then regardless of how unwilling she is to admit it, it clearly represents the concept of ”trust.”

”So over here in Shangjing... what clues have you discovered related to the Rebirth Club from your investigation?”

And after wording her query carefully, this time she indeed learned to stay on topic, knowing that the core issue under discussion is why Professor Fu would be here under an alias.

”Quite a lot.”

To one’s surprise, Professor Fu’s generosity continued, actually counting them one by one on his fingers.

”For instance, the Grand Fate Ming Emperor, those bugs, and the Death Overlord...”

...

Thus, the conspiracy is formed.

Under not-too-bright lighting, facing the silent Vampire Lady, Fu Qian was very satisfied with the result of today’s exchange.

The matter of the Death Overlord, logically coherent, was neither too hard nor too easy.

Mainly, first, because there were too many details, and second, because Selana originally had many doubts about him.

In such a scenario, to extend a web of conspiracy before her, the grasp of strength and measure is undoubtedly very delicate.

That’s why the persona of Professor Fu was employed.

Now, as believed from her perspective, the terrifying organization known as the Rebirth Club’s dark hand already vaguely has an omnipresent trend.

And some earth-shattering conspiracies have even accidentally been uncovered by her, like the experience with Moore.

”The Rebirth Club has always plotted for the Death Overlord’s legacy? Did the Grand Fate Ming Emperor also come for this?”

Amidst the sound of flipping pages, Selana finally digested it all and broke the silence.

The mysterious Grand Fate Ming Emperor having a Rebirth Club background is relatively easy to accept, after all, that person even hinted at it in front of Tyler.

So much so that due to being too blatant, it even makes people suspect a setup.

”It might be more than that, for, at the looks of it, before the plot was even incomplete, they already have a New God.”

Fu Qian shook his head, indicating not to be so optimistic.
