Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1480: Chapter 1478: The Beginning and the End Echo

Misfortune turning into fortune, experienced people in the worldly society generally don’t expect such plot twists.

Thus, the silent Greedy Worms still took some time to maintain their composure and discern the authenticity of certain feelings.

The final result was that once they confirmed the life force loss, which left people powerless, had truly stopped, and that their own condition even improved, most people could no longer control their emotions.

The small gathering place was suddenly bustling with voices.

”That guy stopped... The state is a bit strange, but it’s really not self-destruction—it’s a ritual!”

In this clamor, the first somewhat meaningful content was the excited voice of Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist.

”It’s different from what we guided before, but it’s an effective ritual! Where did he get it from?”

”It seems so!”

The attention of the entire room of happy people was instantly captured, and soon there were echoes.

”The reward is even richer than imagined...”

”I can’t understand it at all, but it seems our initial choice was right...”

”My gains are also great...”

”Unbelievable...”

”What’s so strange?”

As the saying goes, joy brightens the spirit, amidst the echoing agreements, someone eagerly questioned Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s statement.

”The howl sounds like a bizarre pain.”

However, the one who answered wasn’t Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, but other enthusiastic parties.

”... I vaguely heard it, but it’s still too faint.”

The questioner responded, agreeing while still looking at Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist.

”Can you see what he’s still doing?”

Just like injury, the transmission of perception also has an order.

Feeling the joyous atmosphere, Fu Qian, as a spectator, quickly understood why Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s opinions were so valued.

Still vividly remembers when Grand Fate Ming Emperor first found Jiang En, had just left after seeking advice, and was blocked by Daneta.

And later facts proved he was Jiang En’s superior—just like the current Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist.

With the performances of others combined, it’s probably not purely coincidental.

Perception sharing among the Greedy Worms should also follow the principle of proximity.

Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist is probably the one who sees Jiang En’s situation most clearly.

”The position is rather dark, but the state obviously recovered a bit...”

And now, being in the ”first row,” she began the live broadcast.

”Very excited, but not particularly surprised, it seems it was a deliberately planned ritual, just don’t know where he got it from...”

”The bottle that contained the liquid is already empty, but he still cherished it and put it away; this thing seems really key... Laurie, just as you said!”

The next moment Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist turned around, looking at the old man who was sitting alone in the corner, having not spoken a word.

Although the previous speech was quite discouraging, facts proved the insight was indeed unique.

But due to the shadow of death enveloping him, he consciously kept a distance from everyone from the start, even with the changes happening before his eyes, he stayed out of the discussions.

Including during this greeting...

With the judgment just affirmed, the old man remained seated and silent.

”Laurie...”

The originally jubilant crowd was finally conversely influenced by this stance, remembering another kind of fear that dominated them earlier.

The joyful atmosphere paused, and someone called out again in a low voice.

”It’s all right... I’m fine.”

This time, the old man finally had a bit of a reaction, lifting his head to dazedly look at everyone, then taking a deep breath.

”That thing, was relieved...”

...

Huh?

Though succinct, the team’s understanding of the meaning led to an exaggerated outburst of exclamations.

Did that near Divine Punishment threat of death disappear?

Just now, unknowingly?

Such a turnaround is too rapid and concentrated!

The gloom disappears in a short time, everyone seemed a bit surreal and looked at Laurie, hoping he would provide more details.

”Just now, not long after obtaining the enhancement.”

Although trying hard to control, the contrast of escaping disaster made Laurie seem not so calm, and his speaking speed was somewhat quick.

”It disappeared just like that without warning, just like when it appeared.”

Unconsciously, he looked up without hiding his confusion.

”I didn’t do anything, but it doesn’t seem to be direct feedback from the ritual.”

...

Judging by previous performances, naturally, no one doubted Laurie’s judgment as the one who experienced it firsthand.

But to say that both crises were resolved almost simultaneously, with no connection in between, seemed a bit unbelievable.

”But when it appeared, you certainly didn’t do nothing...”

And while even Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist was frowning and pondering, someone beside suddenly offered a perspective.

”What?”

Surprised, Laurie looked at the team member who just called out to him.

”At that time, you two were arguing about... the Abandonment King.”

Instantly becoming the center of attention, the latter didn’t keep people in suspense, pointing at Laurie and Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist.

”Next, everyone felt the fear.”

This...

The words were quite direct, and with a glance at Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, Laurie frowned, contemplating this new interpretative angle.

”Are you saying my questioning caused offense? But if you say that, Jiang En’s attitude was obviously more disrespectful, right?”

”Why did I receive punishment, and he got promotion?”

”It was us who got promoted.”

The latter shook his head, emphasizing in a serious tone.

”Just like you said earlier, the origin of the thing Jiang En had in hand is clearly mysterious, along with this ritual... in the situation where the group benefits, we still don’t know what kind of price he paid.”

Is it really like this...

For a moment, Laurie Sr. wasn’t the only one falling into silence again, even Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, whose opinion was affirmed, seemed slightly unsure.

”We might indeed need to find an opportunity to go back to Shangjing.”

The speaker, however, didn’t pay attention to these emotions, sighing and made a conclusion.

...

Almost there, some things have already been conveyed.

Fu Qian, who had been observing the whole time, was satisfied as he withdrew his gaze from the connections, not caring about the subsequent entanglements.

Involving concepts, goals, the initial team setup is completed.

The timing of the relief from cold fear wasn’t deliberately manipulated, but merely judged as being close to the limit.

This fitting result also aligns with the theme that heaven does not let down those who work hard.

”This doesn’t seem like the way back to the bookstore?”

Amidst the melancholy, a timely reminder came through.

With a glance at Wen Li’s smiling face, Fu Qian nodded slightly.

”Indeed it’s not, this is your way off work.”

”Starting now, you’re on vacation.”
