Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2027: Chapter 2022: Thrown Into Being

Abandoned Lost Wanderer? What an interesting name.

In the seemingly stagnant desolation, at a certain point, the figure on the throne finally stretched lazily and continued to recline there with great swagger.

The consciousness was always clear, yet precisely because of this, Fu Qian maintained a low profile for a while, reminiscing on the past.

I must say, the praise for the Reminiscence Record wasn’t unwarranted; while keeping a literary touch, it automatically sketches out details rationally.

The ending of the Reminiscence Record was originally just a few strokes, but it was expanded into a small essay.

Not just piling up words, but having substance.

First, it appears that the assassination incident indeed happened during the Long Night, and those prostrating from beginning to end were called Lost Wanderers.

Abandoned by the gods, that is not hard to understand. Long ago, it was known that during the Long Night, humans lost the gods’ response.

Abandoned by oneself, that seems a bit awkward to say, but it’s still simple to empathize with.

Given the incomprehensible calamity that led to despair, driven by the survival instinct, some simply chose to abandon personal will, accepting the burning of the Mad Fire, offering themselves to the Tyrant to gain flawed survival, which is not impossible.

Like that night when traveling with Su Gao, the little child placed in a coffin by their family, praying for Darkness or death to offer some protection, clearly illustrates this point.

This also explains why the Abandoned Prison appeared so lively at that time.

After all, the welfare of the Tyrant’s belief should not normally attract many.

Unfortunately, their surviving bodies ultimately could not escape the fate of being burned—millennia.

The gravel beneath the feet seems to be a very special thing; if one must describe it, it reminds people of the ”water” in the pool beneath a certain unnamed Deity’s temple from the past.

Flesh, pollution, curse... even tremor, melted together forcibly.

But indeed as mentioned in the Reminiscence Record, there was joy filling and stirring in the face of the Abandonment King’s return.

...

So what common interest was behind that assassination?

The killer didn’t want to say, nor did the Reminiscence Record mention it.

Did they seize the chance for revenge during the dark and windy night?

Or did they think the Abandonment King was the mastermind behind the Long Night?

After all, the authority symbolizing calamity should adapt better to such mutations, possibly even growing stronger because of them.

Or perhaps even if I don’t want it, if you dare to take my followers, you would still be unforgivable?

That seems slightly hellish.

Amidst the reflection, Fu Qian looked at his side, and the paper cup finally vanished from sight.

Not surprising, as a disposable item, even if the Mad Fire is gone, it’s still unable to maintain itself in such a place once the Transcendent efficacy period ends—though it was still there when the Reminiscence had just ended.

The whole history book process was actually quite efficient.

Idealists might advance unreasonably, but the situation collapsing is also exaggerated.

In the Night Holy City, because of consuming Bird Blood, the ”Eternity” state that once existed in such death battles was truly lethal.

Although the ranking is there, not enough to make oneself immune to influence, no matter what kind of distortion is suffered, there’s always a core power returning to the origin, with no consumption.

And Fu Qian always had confidence in the Insight of the Jade Soul Master.

No need for exaggerated fighting to the death, believing the opponent will realize this true Immortal.

Under the characteristics of the Reminiscence Record, this ”consensus” continues to propel this point.

And such a contender, the Jade Soul Master sent out five individuals in total, making the situation truly overwhelming.

As for why He cooperated to such an extent, specifically making it Second Phase instead of gathering all the mighty power, leading Melia to create ranking suppression on me?

Fu Qian didn’t doubt He could achieve this, and even the burning resistance under such circumstances shouldn’t differ much from the five avatars—but the extraction resistance might not be certain.

The Monarch’s Power is not merely talk.

Fu Qian believes since this death match started, his distinctive communication style has left a deep impression on the opponent.

Even though the Jade Soul Master has some confidence that I may find it difficult to support the Mythical Form, He must worry about the Tyrant’s remaining courage, insisting on offering the same treatment as the Dragon King.

This then takes the limited power recently penetrated inside and transforms it into parts, increasing the error tolerance rate, a choice easy to make.

Psychological guidance is not only a technical activity but also a systematic project, always requiring a holistic mindset to succeed.

Early on, after recognizing the essence of the death match, Fu Qian regarded the Reminiscence Record as a potentially useful tool.

And after bringing it out from the warehouse, considering usage limitations, the Heart Demon’s brutal stubbornness must surely be emphasized, directing more of the opponent’s thoughts toward survival, striving to soften hard.

Of course, even if that one ultimately foolishly refuses guidance, I’m still confident to execute a higher-ranking Melia once more, continuing the guidance.

Currently, uncertainty surrounds the status of the Jade Soul Master’s body hiding behind the phone line, as the death match chain appears completely broken.

As for the winner’s gains—

Fu Qian continued to look down at his palm, and soon an image-less, light yellow paper cup with a capacity of about two hundred milliliters appeared again.

...

Not the original version, just adhering to the Abandonment King’s will.

After the water-like flow of reminiscence, the true master of this place has been revealed, including the Mad Fire—

Golden brilliance continued to shine on Fu Qian’s hand holding the paper cup in the next moment.

Yet, those that once completely melted the Abandoned Prison, this time didn’t harm the paper cup in the slightest.

Just as mentioned in the Reminiscence Record, with the official return of the Abandonment King, this ominous fire also gets purified, returning to the Tyrant’s mighty power, ending the millennia of masterless state.

So even though it hasn’t been verified yet, Fu Qian has considerable confidence that Old Master Stoss has lost some capability.

As for Lady Nepheli, her ”Tyrant’s Blessing” miracle may not completely lose significance, but may require my consent to function.

Although this ”Mad Fire” imagery seems somewhat odd...

Facing the excessively fierce radiance, Fu Qian frowned slightly, looking into the distance.

With his gaze, instantly stone walls rose from the ground, a tile platform erected high, the original splendor of the Abandoned Prison astonishingly began to recover quickly—Swoosh!

The rebuilt structures soon collapsed again.

Good news, from just now till now, I have continuously operated in Mythical Form, but without expending any energy.

Upon completion of mighty power, it seems even further elevated into the fully-formed Mechanical Tyrant.

If it happens again, even without the original form, tearing the Dragon King by hand may not be impossible.

One step directly ascended to Superior Being... is this gain somewhat exaggerated?

Considering the First Phase’s ritual, traits, even the title was still a complete blank before.

Bad news, Extraordinary Perception has vanished from me, thoroughly.

Even in this Land of Self-Abandonment, the reemerged buildings actually only contain the parts visible within my sight.
