Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1948: Chapter 1943: Mathematical Nirvana (4)

The efficiency with which this task’s target appeared was indeed reassuring.

Though admittedly, the content sounded a bit exaggerated.

As the youngest member, the first target is to penetrate reincarnation and shatter the void?

Although Fu Qian has always had a good foundation of wisdom, isn’t this ambition too grand?

It makes one question how much guidance this mentor of choice can actually provide in this field.

Fu Qian’s gaze finally fell on Kako, contemplating as he observed her graceful figure.

”Of course, it far surpasses such mundane joy.”

Faced with this somewhat normal reaction, Kako’s demeanor grew even more serene and natural.

”It’s an unspeakable liberation and clarity; all those things that once entranced a person are insignificant in comparison.”

Unreservedly revealing herself, allowing her most beautiful side to bloom, even drawing closer with her soft skin.

Her robes fluttering, her accompanying words were humble.

”This is the meaning behind the work of the women in the city.

”To feel and transcend, seeking a hint of guiding light within, that is why they are needed... including the need to pay a price for this pursuit.”

Was she even directly pointing out a path for herself?

One could deeply feel Kako’s yearning for a higher level of Paradise, and her subsequent explanation confirmed the existence of such a traditional industry, while also revealing its true significance.

So what they actually provide is a service aiding cultivation? Helping to moderate and transcend worldly desires.

With Lady Kako’s description of the ”transcendental” style of the upper heaven, this notion seems quite reasonable.

However, with this understanding, it suddenly wouldn’t be surprising to see a snow-white chapel while walking around the city.

...

Fu Qian was naturally referring to the White Head Church.

Although its image had always been somewhat negative, thinking carefully about it, in a Paradise, having such a symbol of extreme joy is surprisingly not so discordant.

Not to mention that the way of transcendence everyone explored faintly resembles Brother Benji’s style of moderation.

But with this, the true purpose of this mysterious Paradise, and what position it holds in the power of the Transcendent, becomes truly intriguing.

”Since paying a fee is part of the experience, why don’t you need a fee?”

While pondering, Fu Qian didn’t delay moving his gaze to Kako’s face, trying to learn more about the way of transcendence.

”It’s simple, I don’t help others; they’re helping me.”

Kako’s tone remained calm, her expression translucent.

”Feeling and transcending, in my view, too much restraint would destroy that.”

”The more fervent the desire, the better, whether it’s theirs or mine.”

As she spoke, she glanced over with a gaze so pure it seemed translucent, forming a peak of fervor and debauchery in that moment.

...

Impressive, relying purely on emotion without acting.

Even though his hand had already let go, Fu Qian seemed to still feel the heat emanating from the body so close at hand.

For a moment, he had a deeper understanding of the humanity in this Paradise.

Indeed, one cannot only look at the surface; after just climbing out of a coffin and taking a look around, the information gained is that, compared to a posthumous place of joy, it looks more like a human town.

Now, it seems we’re at the point of seeing a mountain as still a mountain.

No matter how it appears on the surface, what drives these individuals is clearly a different internal core.

And the primordial driving force of this core is none other than a joy without death.

The town they are about to reach, and even today’s applauding audience, are essentially completely different from how they appear.

”Don’t rush, we’ll be there soon.”

In a flash, Kako had already regained that kind of holiness that deterred onlookers, softly comforting with her breath.

The two had walked close to the edge of the graveyard by now, and the audience from before had long dispersed, leaving only a few lingering silhouettes.

And after a round of conversation, Fu Qian could make more sense of the subtle expressions on their faces—lamenting his choice to assist Kako’s cultivation.

It also sparked curiosity about the kind of path for cultivation that was hidden beneath their ”clear” gazes.

”Come aboard.”

Finding Gordo among the crowd, with a final smiling nod, Kako’s call came again.

She actually led him to a horse carriage and invited Fu Qian to sit with her.

...

Tall, handsome, and majestic, the horse was undoubtedly a fine steed, with a carriage so exquisite and bright it seemed unworldly.

And as Fu Qian marveled and sat, Kako was already leaning on the narrow seat, leaving him with an equally narrow space and casually drawing the brocade curtain.

”I thought animals would feel more at ease in a place like this, so is it doing this for cultivation too?”

Fu Qian nonchalantly leaned back, genuinely curious about the horse ahead.

”Of course not, because animals can’t reach this place anyway.”

Watching Fu Qian’s actions, the next moment Kako showed a smile full of wisdom, pointing to the cemetery beside her.

”... So they are actually people? Part of reincarnation too?”

Complying with her glance, Fu Qian quickly grasped the implication.

”That’s right, those whose hearts are held by delusions and commit evil deeds, not only fail to transcend to higher levels, but will also endure suffering within the cycle of reincarnation, until the next time.”

Appreciating Fu Qian’s insight, Kako acknowledged his speculation.

”Sounds reasonable as well.”

Faced with the somewhat eerie unfolding of this Paradise, Fu Qian remained largely unmoved.

Nodding thoughtfully, the exceptionally steady-running carriage quickly approached the town, which wasn’t far away to begin with.

”But I’m a bit curious, does the range of these evil deeds match that of the human world, or do they have a special definition here?”

Without sparing an extra glance at the figure closely against him, Fu Qian kept his eyes on the road ahead, posing a sudden question after a brief silence.

”There’s a very subtle definition, which you’ll gradually understand in the beautiful times to come. Of course, many vicious acts are indeed universal.”

Kako maintained her gentle tone, showing no displeasure at Fu Qian’s lack of fervor.

Squeak—

Yet the next moment, she couldn’t maintain her poise any longer.

The originally stable carriage suddenly turned, with a screeching sound that nearly threw her off.

At the same time, they saw someone lying down where they had originally been heading.

It seems there are indeed universal traits, as even Paradise has its con artists.

Grabbing the nearby Fu Qian in advance, she inwardly praised at that moment.
