Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1521: Human Pillar (30)

No wonder the older generation always says to leave a good impression on others.

The achievements I, Fu Qian, have today are all thanks to the love and support of the community.

Bloodline Clan, Demigod.

Since he borrowed the face-crafting idea from the sage Annalise, Fu Qian had no intention of desecrating the Vampire imagery.

Fortunately, over many days, there have been quite a few connections with this ancient and exotic group.

In every move he made, he even had more of a divine aura than the genuine Bloodline Clan, even the surface tension of his blood exuded elegance.𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The portrayal of the Bloodline Clan is not out of some malicious intent.

Even with speculations about ”consensus,” attempting to leverage it is far from simple.

The human heart has always been unpredictable, and especially now in this predicament, many wills have become quite turbulent under the catalyst of survival instinct.

Now, it’s necessary to guide and converge them, forming a synergy from a trickle to lift oneself up.

Anything unnatural might lead them off the designed path.

This is not a matter of haste or delay, but a fundamental difference between right and wrong.

A simple example, Lady Ji Ning was unable to pull out this dagger, yet I managed to pull it out.

Under such contrast, it’s quite a good leverage point to help transcend the shackles of the original image—provided a suitable explanation can be given.

And merely being at the Demigod Tier is not enough to form a smooth transition.

After all, Ji Ning herself is a Demigod, yet she couldn’t pull it out.

In this situation, a special physique can undoubtedly serve as an explorable explanation.

And as an ancient exotic species, the Bloodline Clan has always been a representative role of special physiques.

Even overly distinct physical features mean just changing the color of the pupils can convey this identity information.

After establishing some rationality with this as a springboard, a question will naturally arise: Is the pure Bloodline Clan physique really enough for such a contrast?

At this point, combining it with the strong resistance to erosion from before, one might gradually hint at the identity of Demigod.

And that will be a truly complementary process.

Under the full force of self-suggestion, any sign of divinity will strengthen the audience’s speculation about being a Demigod, and this consensus, in turn, will further prompt the emergence of divinity.

Any hesitation in between could likely result in failure.

Fortunately, for a neurotic child, unfounded confidence has always been a basic trait.

This is the complete plan combining theory with practice.

Of course, there’s another reason for choosing the Bloodline Clan; even though the dagger’s engravings aren’t in black and red tones, they are indeed elegant enough.

...

Elegance is never out of fashion, let alone now it has been enhanced with a Scarlet Special Effect.

Fu Qian brought the blood-soaked dagger to his nose, took a gentle sniff, as if savoring its nuances.

Actually, what he said earlier was indeed the truth; he wasn’t so sure why Lady Ji Ning couldn’t pull out this dagger.

Although one reason indeed was his interference.

From the moment Lady Ji Ning displayed this find, Fu Qian realized the opportunity had arrived and strongly convinced himself to believe that the exploration journey would not be so smooth, and that this new find couldn’t be pulled out.

But even so, it’s hard to say with certainty to what extent the development of the situation could be influenced.

For Fu Qian, it was merely the realization of a chance to create contrast after discovering Lady Ji Ning’s misjudgment of the color that prompted him to give it a try.

The reason for such an ideal effect, in Fu Qian’s view, might be the same reason as the discrepancy in color—Lady Ji Ning’s marking plan didn’t instill much confidence in people.

So far, the consensus among everyone was that they were still dealing with some kind of divine authority.

And how reliable could the tracking methods of an ordinary Demigod be against such an opponent? It’s believed the individuals themselves might not be too confident.

In the end, this concern manifested in such an error.

Upon realizing this, he deliberately highlighted Ji Ning’s vision and color issues, fanning the flames.

Of course, the original plan hinged on using this act of fanning the flames to further arouse doubts.

At that point, even if he couldn’t pull it out and passed it to others to try, he could still serve as a guide for the Demigod, with the worst result being not as perfect.

However, the unfolding of events was excessively ideal, resulting in a Sword in the Stone scenario.

Under such luck, the subsequent development became even smoother—and so it is now.

Amidst the varied expressions of the team members, Fu Qian, operating as Lady Ji Ning had suggested, experienced her description of an ”abstract visual” next.

...

[Color, shape, material, etc., can only show specific information when you need to see them.]

This was the insight Ji Ning mentioned at the time, and in Fu Qian’s current experience, besides these, there was even a sense of déjà vu—the mission introduction at the start.

At that time, he had lamented the peculiar style; now, the same feeling emerged again.

As the dagger was stained with blood, certain abstract insights appeared in his consciousness.

And when interpreting them, what he obtained was a description akin to high school essay style.

The power of words is great, but the power of words is not comprehensive, for example, this—

[Go straight, turn right, there’s a magnificent golden statue where you go]

But there is no record of what’s beside the golden statue, thus one cannot ”see” it; this is the limitation Ji Ning mentioned.

What one strives to access is like lines of descriptive sentences.

If it’s a deeper level, information that touches the essence of this world more profoundly, then could the current predicament, neither real nor a dream, be a note penned collectively by each of the participants involved...?

Is this the fundamental reason why ”heart prevails over matter”?

”So, did you see anything?”

As it turns out, curiosity is such a noble virtue, especially when layered with survival instinct.

Even though previous behavior had reached a suspicious peak, faintly touching the boundary of being hunted down by everyone.

Yet at this moment, under Fu Qian’s actions, the first voice to arise was still the inquiry about whether he’s gained any insight.

”Yes.”

And Fu Qian did not engage in those seemingly clever but actually stupid acts of withholding information as leverage; he simply nodded.

Given the current situation, even if I disclosed everything truthfully, the loyalty level from the team wouldn’t be promising.

If I withdrew further, the expected value of staying alive might plummet into the negative in an instant.

Even though he hadn’t said much since just now, if it truly reached that point, the decisive Mr. Li Sr. probably wouldn’t mind putting an end to me with a strike to the head.
