Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2016: Chapter 2011: Occupational Injury Assessment

Is this the legendary road of ”Road Eye”? Walking on the road, someone gives you an eye.

Looking at the sphere in front of him, Fu Qian deeply felt the burgeoning of the times.

It was even freshly harvested, not only was the pupil clear and deep, but the string connected to it also revealed a slight meandering, not completely stopping physiological activity.

Truly a generous gift.

It’s no surprise that Jade Soul Master can confidently initiate a deadly duel, this move is a genuine open strategy.

First of all, no matter how you think about it, this eyeball can’t be simple; if you really take it and install it, the risk index would be terrifyingly high.

But if you don’t take it... then it’s not a matter of risk index.

Pulling on a tug of war, facing the other party’s move, afraid to accept it, this lack of confidence is enough to make the hard-earned blood bar fall back.

”Thank you.”

Faced with the choice, Fu Qian did not spend an extra second; the next moment he already accepted it and expressed thanks.

Holding the eyeball in his hand, he did not forget to compare it and casually inserted it into the eye socket on the same side as the other party.

That’s right, he did not preemptively gouge out his own eye, but pressed it directly together.

On one hand, as a flesh and blood type player, this really wasn’t difficult.

On the other hand, Fu Qian has a lot of confidence in the eyeball’s peculiarity, believing no special connection is needed.

...

No wonder they say having double pupils leads to an unbeatable path, this feeling is indeed different.

Perhaps the other party accepted so rapidly that Jade Soul Master remained silent for a while, while Fu Qian clearly didn’t care about this, thoroughly experiencing the change.

It didn’t disappoint, not a hint of rejection reaction, as soon as it was inserted, Fu Qian had the vision of a third eye.

As for the visual content, it even felt somewhat familiar.

Once upon a time, also in the Academy, helping Professor Ah Kai recreate the image of the Miracle Creature ”Huo”, the other party had used a miracle discovered by the wandering dean Nepheli, called Yesterday Once More.

The effect at that time allowed him to traverse past experiences with a special perspective, as if time itself had become a visible dimension.

The feeling now is somewhat similar, Winter Academy still exists, but only occupies a small part of what he sees.

The Academy’s past, the self within the Academy’s past... the Academy’s untrue past, and the unknown self within it.

That’s right, Fu Qian even saw the apocalyptic scene he just recently went through, and more so, the apocalyptic scene without himself.

All these layers stacked, chaotic and intertwined, yet unlike what was seen in Yesterday Once More, each place is as real as the Winter Academy before his eyes.

Besides, Fu Qian also saw himself within the Academy’s scope, using the Clear Dream Ring more than once.

And even though it’s dream content, as the master he couldn’t feel any difference, completely paralleling the various realities just seen.

Plus, because of the task, the timeline of appearing in the Academy was originally chaotic, resulting in the final overlapping effect, a glance not only left spatial comprehension impossible, even the concept of time was teetering on collapse.

”How do you differentiate reality from dream? More stable, more painful, or really dying?”

And amid this wondrous feeling, the enlightenment of Jade Soul Master timely echoed.

”Is it possible these have always been illusions? There is no essence difference between them, only depth.

”Even the concept of depth is only a type of illusion, only experiences are real.”

Calm yet resonant, you could almost imagine his stance during a lecture.

”You learned well, the symbols of language and cognition, from the moment of birth, have only been the poison of wisdom.

”And my greatest mistake was once treating them as treasures, trying to organize them to obtain ’correctness’. Tell me, what do you see that you have brought to this world?”

And so the legendary pop quiz directly appeared the next moment.

”Chaos, like forcefully finding all hexagonal edges from a pile of sand and numbering them, calling it order.”

Fortunately, Fu Qian, with his perceptiveness, fully grasped the core theme of this lesson, unhesitatingly providing an answer.

”Indeed, that’s why the power behind you is a mistake, and you’re an extreme manifestation of that mistake.”

...

”The higher the ability, the greater the harm, is that it?”

Though receiving special commendation, Fu Qian did not boast, continuing his reading comprehension.

The language style indeed leans towards swindler, but in his view, Jade Soul Master was trying to be as straightforward as possible, not deliberately.

Understanding the content wasn’t complicated; it summed up proving the previous statement—there’s never been something correct, what the warehouse drove him to do was only making everything more wrong.

Reality is nothing but a deeper layer of dream, using this perspective, one can see there’s no essential distinction between the two.

Because all things and people are nothing but delusions caused by his ’attachment’.

And his ongoing containment leaks, preventing futures that should never be real, are merely a wishful endeavor, contributing nothing but chaos.

Even because of excessive efficiency, it caused more harm than his predecessors.

Including the warehouse behind, it is nothing but a manifestation of his obsession.

Though up until now, Jade Soul Master doesn’t seem very capable of controlling this obsession.

Otherwise, when just being handed to Mother of the Gospel, he should have pulled him back in an instant.

In short, although it sounds like the train of thought is somewhat wild, it reminded him straight away of Red Moon’s warning—do not get drunk on lies.

This phrase, set here, was inexplicably fitting.

Even speaking rationally, the ideas proposed by the other party up until now could not truly be disproved by anything he saw and acquired since entering the bookstore world.

”No worries, the larger the harm, the greater the gain after it, using it as the beginning of this world is quite appropriate.”

Fu Qian sighed once more at the world’s mysteries, Jade Soul Master likewise did not deny his harm extent.

With a tone both calm and resolute, clearly having gone through a great enlightenment, the Cultivation Heart was now dustless.

”Just like Akons?”

Fortunately, Fu Qian had no expectation for a change of course.

”Yes, escape was never a solution, it’s time to deal with this outsider’s mistake.”

Jade Soul Master candidly admitted Akons’ crime.

”So because of the past experiences, firmly rooted the idea to eliminate me?”

Clicking his tongue, Fu Qian swiftly realized the situation in front could potentially have a work-related injury factor.

”No, the moment I saw the ’past’ as a target-destroying meteor, I knew everything should start... like the enlightenment received there upon realizing ’the past’ then.”

Uh... So it’s not from the Administrator’s side, it’s a work-related injury belonging to the Night Watchman Special Operations Consultant?
