Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2586: Chapter 2581: Ways of Leaving

How hard it is for humans to break through their own constraints, and even gods are no exception.

Fu Qian didn’t even need to turn around to know that the thing that was bounced away was nothing other than another small Rom.

And unlike its kind, it didn’t just bare its fangs and claws, but truly launched an attack.

As for where it came from?

Of course, there were no bloody wounds of Rom there, but who said small Roms could only be birthed from wounds?

Never let yourself be trapped by inertia of thought.

It was mentioned earlier that having more interactions with Lord Rom was not simply a boast.

To Fu Qian, this experienced entity with a strong will to survive, it was evident what it wanted to pull off even without looking at its stance.

The earlier scene of ”endless descendants” certainly carried momentum, filled with a heart ready for a death-defying charge at any moment.

But after such effort to conserve a bit of strength, how could it be used just to scare people? More likely, it was to numb them.

For example, drawing attention to create opportunities for the real lethal move.

...

The process of the small Rom appearing was simple, it tore through the air like ripping open a wound, emerging from nothingness, silent and unnoticed throughout.

And from its body, tendrils of needle-like blood threads quietly pointed toward vital areas, exuding a murderous breath that even carried a sense of greed.

Believing once hit, even the Tyrant’s physique wouldn’t find it easy to endure.

One can only say, worthy of Lord Rom, capable of rapid adaptation even in dire straits.

The methods employed are extreme, even trying to exploit the initial clumsy image for value, seizing every opportunity for an ambush—the spider just waking up, still in a groggy state, what malicious thoughts could it harbor?

Unfortunately, this adaptive measure was still too primitive; more consideration was needed.

For Fu Qian, even before Lord Rom had failed to respond to his longstanding admiration, he had already anticipated what kind of ambush tactics would be chosen.

To exploit the Tyrant’s inertia in thought, one must first overcome their own inertia in thought.

As for why, in the absence of Extraordinary Perception, it wasn’t necessary to turn around to accurately judge the ambush position?

Obviously, it was visible.

It was mentioned earlier that most of the platform at their feet had crystallized.

Though through extensive research this didn’t seem promising, at least the visual effect was eye-catching.

Who said the sparkling crystalline structure was useless?

Encircled all around, it acted like cameras filled to capacity, perfectly reflecting every corner of the scene.

So even while focusing intently on studying the script, everything around Fu Qian remained under control.

...

Facts proved that Lord Rom still listened to advice.

The lethal ambush had been casually deflected, the clawing underneath almost halted instantly.

And as the incident wasn’t pursued, Fu Qian continued to look down at the script without making any rash moves due to increasingly desperate circumstances.

Not even a harsh word was uttered, as it quietly remained curled up there.

Very good.

This is why dealing with intelligent people is preferable.

Fu Qian naturally saw this with approval, not forgetting that as per previous experience, scenes too intense could lead to premature transitions.

There are so many pages in this note, and only five lines now doesn’t mean it will always remain five lines.

Connecting the similarly composed five acts to All Fools’ Day was certainly logical, but one must not be confined by it.

Even if the chances aren’t high, what if by accident another transition occurs, and the script in hand vanishes?

Though simple in content, there are still many worth studying aspects.

For example, the title of the second act.

In comparison, it appears more obscure, the entire sentence somewhat ambiguous.

But by extracting keywords, it remains easy to determine that the order is correct, precisely corresponding to the first scene at greater depth of this journey.

At the time, acting as Moore to meet visitors, a thorough research of the armory was made with the receptionist brother.

And ”Light and Shadow” might be understood as the Scavenger and the Scavenger’s target?

As for ”Judgment”, that scene ended swiftly because of a fierce fight with the Judgment Chief.

Of course, this is merely based on the literal meaning, there seems to be much implicit meaning, many ways of interpretation—this aligns seamlessly as well.

Regarding the task during All Fools’ Day, a journey of exploration combined with referencing the final task summary, it is basically certain that correctly completing the script meant piecing together scenes with multiple interpretations in a reasonable manner.

Not about surviving or killing, but achieving a mahjong-winning hand.

Translating to the present context, a title with multiple interpretations is strikingly poignant.

Perhaps to leave here, to end this endless Engraving Wisdom, similar means are required?

Even considering this, even the empty third act seems reasonable.

Though that act ended long ago, there’s more freedom in interpreting oneself, even a pen is prepared nearby.

Adding the upcoming guides and summaries for the fifth act’s plot, it’s entirely possible to strive for an opportunity to win.

...

So how should one guide it?

Without rushing to pen down, Fu Qian put away the script, first gazing in Moore’s direction, then finally turned around, observing the architecture beneath his feet in reverse.

Though it wasn’t moving, from this angle, it appeared as an integral whole with the lake below, the twin-headed whale undeniably carried a certain divine charm.

Further resonating with ”Moore in the Storm”, that miracle creature related to death, it all seemed more cohesive.

If one follows the previous conjecture, the lake and whale representing Lord Fool’s great power, then it seems this marks the second time the latter is connected with death?

The Fool Idol, an item, was also obtained from a task related to the Death Overlord.

There was curiosity then about the reason, was it about overwhelming the Death Overlord?

Fool, Death Overlord, just the titles alone sound fearfully powerful, do these Superior Beings have a special relationship?

And beyond that, what is the connection between Su Gao and the Fool?

...

It’s not baseless association.

Upon initially witnessing the scene at the lake, the process of Su Gao ascending to Demigod was recalled, because the scene was all too reflective.

And this wasn’t the only reason, in the task related to the Porcelain Doll, a white ring seemingly made of the same material was obtained, with the note [Purity is also a kind of power].

At the time, there wasn’t much contemplation, but now combined with the ”pure Transcendent” nature exhibited by the lake and whale, it’s hard to dismiss it as mere coincidence.

Not to mention the most evident, right before your eyes—the Fool’s Tree.

In the Rotten Forest, during Su Gao’s ascension to Transcendent, the irreplaceable tree sounded directly named after Lord Fool.

So might the latter correspond to Su Gao’s Divine Road? Honestly, the endpoint looks a bit ominous.
