Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2085: Chapter 2080: Dancer (26)

The blood is burning.

Fu Qian noted that ever since his complete mechanical ascension, this was the first time he felt such a sensation.

What was intriguing was that the skin of his palm showed no signs of abnormality.

As an expert in flesh and blood, Fu Qian was certain the burning was real, and the power level affecting him was quite high.

However, due to some chaotic nature in it, although the feelings and destruction were present, the concrete form of ”fire” did not manifest.

The flesh did not turn to charcoal, but was being thoroughly destroyed, transforming into a kind of special ”poison”—or maybe ”aphrodisiac.”

Even with zero extraordinary perception, Fu Qian sensed the legendary concept of budding reproduction merely from the surges in his flesh.

Every affected cell, while shattering, seemed to struggle to wriggle out of his body, stretching into tendrils, and eventually, incorporating and falling off to become an independent entity.

A more advanced entity.

This impulse was manifested not only at the level of the flesh and blood—Fu Qian glanced at Clara beside him.

Even though Clara’s attire could almost be described as conservative, the gender and reproductive attributes were heavily emphasized compared to when he looked out before.

...

Really different from Lord Stomach, the focus is on reproduction.

Having once tested poison in Paradise, infected by the Seed of Ecstasy and savoring it carefully, Fu Qian now had enough basis to judge that the force behind it was not that old friend.

Moreover, having already used Miss Wen for a test, he was now almost immune to mental influences.

So rather than suffering from some mental impact with a break-defense attribute, Fu Qian leaned towards another explanation—that this perception was also prompted by the budding reproduction happening within his body.

The special change in flesh and blood led to this psychological perception, rather than being forcibly imposed.

So what is the significance of proving this point—conversely proving that the feeling of budding reproduction is not an illusion.

Combining with the performance of the couple in the matching outfits earlier, and the feeling of ”transforming into a superior organism,” even without using extraordinary perception, Fu Qian successfully recalled a dominion he once encountered—the Order of Blood.

Reproduction, life, bloodline... now adding evolution to it.

About that Superior Being who desecrates the ”Third Cause,” the potential powers summarized earlier already subtly reminded Fu Qian of his feelings in Em House Palace.

This further verification, encompassing both the physical and psychological levels, undoubtedly made some conclusions more affirmative—that ancient divine dance referenced Superior Being, who very likely also held the dominion of the Order of Blood.

And unlike how it seemed before, the other party wasn’t so low-profile, having quietly waited for the opportunity.

Finally, they initiated their power, showing malice toward him.

Why was it at this moment?

Simple, Clara had just finished dancing, a dance more akin to the original ancient version.

This was where the real vigor is stored.

And why, after Clara displayed such surprising performance, he absolutely wouldn’t interrupt her.

...

To transform the dancers into outcasts, or simply eliminate them, or guide the Night Watchman to outright ban this industry, but all of these could simply because the extent is not enough, cure the symptoms, not the disease—so why not directly cure the disease?

For example, find the source of contamination and eliminate it, no matter what it is.

The ability to turn any task into a kill task is actually very crucial for a task-handler.

So such an absolute method for curing the disease always remained an alternative option, where the only consideration was the difficulty of implementation.

As facts proved this time, the team indeed had hidden talents.

Clara, or Fyla Venlan’s professional performance, evidently could connect to the source more effectively than others, luring the adversary to act.

Her father, with aspirations higher than the sky, actually managed to do something useful.

And the final result was also exceedingly good, with the attack emerging nearly at the song’s end.

Of course, this was only the first step; deeper connections still need to be established next.

Without hastily responding to Clara, the next moment saw three concentric circles of special proportion, appearing sequentially in Fu Qian’s palm.

The Unassailable Mark, just like when he had ascended the stairs just now.

And this time, the anomaly finally manifested, with the three rings displaying different properties from the inside out in the blink of an eye—flames, arcs, chaotic blood-colored.

What is this? Branded Warrior?

Faced with this bizarre sight, on the one hand, the burning power finally manifested, verifying the earlier judgment, while on the other, recalling the chromatography experiments done during school.

Moreover, referring to the principle behind such experiments, perhaps could truly explain why such a situation occurred earlier.

...

The reason for such anomalous display is straightforward: the opponent’s malice towards him was transmitted through this mutual dominion.

The ”Third Cause” became a bridge, one that he absolutely couldn’t dismantle.

As for previously feeling the burn yet not having any visible manifestation?

Just look at these three rings—fire, thunder, and the outermost one is precisely the Order of Blood that was speculated before.

Three-phase Power? Three-Element Pearl? Dragon Blood Greatsword?

Uncertain what that esteemed name is, but this power sure is immensely chaotic.

And ultimately, because of this chaos, the combined power manifested extremely bizarre forms.

Of course, regardless, the malice was crystal clear.

”What is this thing?”

Even the dancer beside him noticed.

Following Fu Qian’s motion to look over, Clara quickly let out a cry of astonishment.

”How about it, isn’t it cool?”

Fu Qian remained in his slouched posture, raising his hand to show it off.

Is this about being cool...

Though her psychological quality was excellent due to her environment of growth.

Yet, facing such a thought process, Clara struggled to catch up, staring at the pattern dumbfounded.

”The dance just now... was it truly effective? Provoking divine beings to deliver punishment?”

And feeling a faint pain on her palm from the sight, as if she was reminded of something, she murmured an answer to the previous question by herself.

”Sounds reasonable, how about you verify it?”

Fu Qian seemed somewhat in agreement with this idea, gesturing towards the spot where the dance had taken place.

Coming again...

Though she was no longer leaning on the chair, Clara’s expression was somewhat resistant.

”Such a good opportunity, wasn’t the purpose of coming here to experience more?”

Yet, misleading the young has always been something Fu Qian could do with ease.

Hmm...

”Anyway, whether it’s a blessing or punishment, it’s manifested on me.”

Still hesitating, Clara saw Fu Qian continuing to raise the stakes.

”Oh...understood, the incense is burned up, right?”

Remembering something the next moment, he casually opened his bundle, using the tool given by Ah Lian to ignite it, and passed it up.
