Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1021: Instant Success Chapter 1023: Chapter 1021: Instant Success “Divine Remains have always been a sensitive topic.”

Fu Qian’s inquiry prompted a long silence, finally broken by President Cass.

“Because for a long time, divine beings have become more like a concept, a symbol of corresponding authority,”

“And so-called New Gods are nothing more than having full control over a certain domain of authority.”

“At least in my view, a First Phase death isn’t enough to leave behind such a place.”

As expected.

Fu Qian stroked his chin.

Whether it was the “sun” that descended upon Ariel or Hamadus, whom he felt in his own flesh, or Yasui Tokiyuki, whom he met later, it all seemed a bit different.

President Cass’s words undoubtedly confirmed this point.

“But it indeed looks like a corpse.”

At the same time, he insisted on his own view, which was, in fact, what Fu Qian believed to be the real reason President Cass was so eager to bring him here.

How is it similar…

Fu Qian and his companion suddenly became serious, and Lisa, shocked as she was, no longer presumptuously denied it, but even though she was now observing very earnestly, she still declared that she couldn’t comprehend it.

“Aren’t Forbidden Areas always full of strange things?”

“Corruption, decomposition, mutation, yet all inherently unified.”

Seeing that President Cass was not in a hurry to answer, appearing quite like a testing professor, Fu Qian didn’t hold back.

“Even if you can’t feel certain aspects of Divinity, there’s still one thing that’s quite clear.”

He pointed to the myriad of Creations, flying all around, of all shapes and sizes.

“From the smallest to the largest, their power is essentially from the same source, and the most direct manifestation is that they are all made up of Bone Armor and the spiritual entities beneath.”

“Even if you smash a few of these and mix them together.”

Fu Qian pointed to several targets in succession.

“With their Bone Armor, I’m confident that I could assemble a much more complete skeletal Giant Dragon. Their relationship is far less distant than that of different species.”

He’s even putting them together, like a child playing with building blocks…

Fu Qian’s words again prompted Lisa to mutter to herself.

However, he spoke plainly and did not mystify the issue, so for a moment, she really took a closer look at those targets.

One of them was a dragon-like creature with only a few pieces of Bone Armor outlining its body, emanating an aura of Withering, and moving swiftly through the fog, hard to capture.

But after some effort, she finally managed to imprint all the outlines of the Bone Armor in her mind.

It seems like it could work… although the shape is a bit odd.

After a series of mental trials and combinations, and with some effort, Lisa indeed assembled a somewhat pleasing image.

Is this the power of a Demigod?

She had worked hard, and yet this person seemed to have seen it at a glance, what did he usually do at home…

In awe, Lisa began to believe in the claim of the corpse to some extent.

“Well said, it’s a pity that some people insist on ignoring such obvious things, even interpreting those bones as the final shackles of a group of noble creatures.”

President Cass finally scoffed, supporting Fu Qian’s point.

…

Although Lisa knew President Cass was referring to the Linghui group, considering her earlier unprofessional demeanor, she felt a bit awkward for a moment.

“In any case, the academic exploration’s great success is much to thank Professor Fu for his strong support.”

President Cass, however, showed no intention of minding, his face breaking into a smile in a second, not hiding his excitement.

It’s a great success already… you don’t mean to say the mission is over, do you?

Lisa was immediately dumbfounded.

“Don’t mention it. So, the urgency to pull me over here was because I didn’t know about this place before?”

Demigod Fu, however, seemed unsurprised.

“Yes, I needed a demigod who entered here for the first time, preferably one who previously had no concept of this place, to validate my judgment.”

President Cass readily admitted.

“Now that the goal has been achieved, we have plenty of time and manpower to do the specific verifications.”

“The next step is a field survey, and the scenery here is quite unique.”

“It makes sense, theory must always be connected to practice, please lead the way, President!”

So it was just a quick look and it’s over? What exactly did I come here for?

Although she found the action a bit odd before, considering the rare opportunity, she had still made a lot of preparations…

Watching the two demigods in front of her casually strolling along the edge of the giant pit, chatting and laughing merrily, Lisa, who had just revised her opinion on the seriousness of the mission, couldn’t help but feel her blood boil again.

It felt like in this situation, following behind with a fruit platter in her hands might be more fitting.

“Xiao Sha, what about you, have you learned anything from this trip?”

Lost in thought, she suddenly saw Demigod Fu turn around with a smile and ask.

Are you trying to play the part of the amiable elder now? In terms of seniority, I joined Heaven’s Commencement Institute way earlier than you, and in age, it’s almost certain…

Realizing what the other party had asked, Lisa couldn’t help but grit her teeth for a moment.

“It seems Teacher Lisa was a bit distracted just now.”

Seeing her reaction, Demigod Fu laughed heartily and joked with President Cass beside him.

“It’s okay, whatever comes to mind, just say it. I’ll help clarify your thoughts so you don’t get stumped when President Cass questions you back at the Institute.”

“Professor Fu, you’re actually helping Lisa cheat right in front of me!”

While Lisa was still dumbfounded, President Cass, after a moment of surprise, also burst out laughing.

“No worries, Lisa, just speak up. It’s a rare opportunity and Professor Fu’s theoretical level is very high.”

I really…

Unable to crack a smile, Lisa took a deep breath and began to squeeze out her learning insights.

Given the overly slick behavior of those two, she had no desire to parrot their views.

“There’s no need to deify transcendent beings. That kind of obsessive reverence can actually cloud our judgment, just like the people of Linghui.”

As it turned out, Instructor Lisa was indeed quite remarkable. After a brief effort, she managed to squeeze out an insight of fewer than a hundred words.

“They should always remain objects of study only.”

As she said this, her expression took on a peculiarly cold indifference.

“Well said.”

This time it was President Cass who gave the direct feedback.

“Anything else?”

Anything else? Lisa felt a surge of Dao Heart and decided to stop this self-torture.

“I’m sorry… I can’t think of anything more at the moment.”

“Oh, does Professor Fu have any guidance for our Lisa?”

Hmm…

Fu Qian looked thoughtful as he pondered, making Lisa feel somewhat guilty.

“You’ve already done quite well, but let me add just one more thing.”

“Some things are relative. People who easily sanctify one thing often easily disdain another. The biggest problem with Linghui this time is that they regarded ordinary people purely as materials, so…”

Fu Qian chuckled.

“While it’s boring to be born noble, there’s also no need to belittle oneself.”

…

It isn’t easy for President Cass!

Feeling Lisa stiffen, Fu Qian sighed inwardly.

It’s really not easy doing ideological work with so many demons and monsters in Heaven’s Commencement Institute.
