Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 383 - : The Prosthetic Eye (16)_1
Chapter 383: Chapter 383: The Prosthetic Eye (16)_1
The wisdom of Divine Beings, that small part which can be glimpsed among the multitude of information.
Is this the essence of the ritual?
After hearing Teresa’s explanation, Fu Qian nodded slightly.
It had to be said, it was somewhat close to his own guess; this thing stemmed from the influence of some higher beings.
And by making some special actions, one could receive gifts related to Transcendent powers.
So, the promotion ritual of a Demigod is also a similar concept, isn’t it?
He still felt there was some difference, fearing it wasn’t that simple.
As he was pondering, the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
Looking up, Fu Qian found that his surroundings were once again enveloped in white, the world a vast expanse of desolation.

Teresa had also stood up.
“Alright, now you have the answers you wanted,” she said.
“Let’s start now, I will enjoy this process very much…”
This woman let out a string of strange laughter, the white frost around her surging wildly.
It was clear, this woman had quite the flair of a sadist.
“Don’t be hasty, I still have one more question.”
Despite the shock, Fu Qian once again waved his hand, signaling her to calm down.
“You just used the word ‘glimpse’. I’m curious, for you people who understand the essence, how do you achieve this ‘glimpse’?”
…
Fu Qian’s second question, however, rendered Teresa silent, as if it was difficult for her to answer.
Only after a long while did she lift her head and said coldly to Fu Qian,
“Revelation is uncontrollable—”
“But that contradicts what you said earlier,” he immediately countered.
“According to what you said just now, for people like Shang Shiming who know nothing, some ritual knowledge is clearly imparted by you, so how can it be uncontrollable?”
“Why are you so curious about this?”
As Fu Qian countered, Teresa narrowed her eyes, her gaze drifting across his face.
“Because I have a little hunch that I want to confirm,” Fu Qian replied without hesitation.
“Is ‘glimpsing’ reliant on the Inner Eye?”
…
Though she did not utter a word, the moment the words ‘Inner Eye’ were spoken, Teresa’s breath clearly hitched.
“It seems my guess is correct,” Fu Qian said, smiling and nodding.
The fact proved that attending this gathering wasn’t in vain; these people clearly knew something about the Inner Eye.
“How do you know about the Inner Eye…”
It took a while for Teresa to regain her composure, staring intently at Fu Qian, her face so ugly it seemed water would drip from it.
The next moment, before Fu Qian could answer, she was suddenly startled.
“You have a problem!” She pointed at Fu Qian.
“You didn’t just become a Transcendent, Roland, you fool! Who are you really?”
“Does it matter who I am?” Fu Qian spread his hands.
“After all, I’m about to die by your hand, so what difference does it make who I am.”
“Heh heh… well said!” Teresa flipped her palm, and in the midst of the white frost, countless spikes instantly condensed, quickly coming together to form a crystalline serpent.
“Now I truly can’t let you go!”
“Don’t rush, you haven’t told me what the Inner Eye actually is yet?”
“Guess!”
Fu Qian’s tone remained calm, but Teresa seemed no longer interested in talking to him, smiling as she pushed out the long snake.
Every part of it was made up of razor-sharp crystalline spikes, and the snake surged towards Fu Qian, covering the sky.
Just as his body was about to be torn to shreds, in the next moment, Fu Qian twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the wave of attack.
“There really is a problem!”
Realizing Fu Qian was not as simple as he seemed, Teresa did not appear to expect to kill him with one strike.
As her palms moved, the long snake that missed its target turned around and struck again, and at the same time, another long snake formed on each side of her body.
“You’re really not considering it?”
Even faced with such a dangerous situation, Fu Qian instead of advancing, retreated, walking directly in front of Teresa with a serious face.
“If you’re willing to think of this as a scholarly discussion, I believe it could be a joy for everyone involved.”
“Don’t worry, after you die, I’ll happily have that discussion over your corpse.”
Teresa’s laughter echoed with cruelty, the two snakes at her side shooting out, together with the one that had turned back, coiling towards Fu Qian to strangle him.
“It really is an age where no one likes to share. Knowledge still has to be sought out on one’s own.”
Under such circumstances, Fu Qian shook his head with a hint of disappointment, casually swatting away the three crystalline snakes that were attempting to bind him.
“You—”
In an instant, Teresa’s expression could only be described as incredible, her disbelief clear at the sight before her.
Even she herself could not have handled it so easily!
This guy had been playing dumb all along! His true strength was terrifying!
The moment this thought appeared, a strong sense of crisis surged in her heart.
Teresa’s hands danced swiftly, and clusters of frosty spikes formed in the air, stabbing towards Fu Qian from all directions.
And after making this attack, she didn’t bother checking the results, turning around to flee right away.
Teresa’s reaction could not have been more decisive, but unfortunately, in the next moment an arm stretched through the snow, suddenly extending several times its length, and grabbed her neck.
Err—
Pulled back in an instant, Teresa couldn’t help but let out a desperate sigh.
The hand on her neck was surprisingly strong, and the two were now only an arm’s length apart.
Instead of struggling further, Teresa used the momentum to turn around and face Fu Qian.
In the next moment, an emerald in a necklace around her neck silently exploded, quickly forming a ball of dark green fire that flew towards Fu Qian’s face.
At the same time, her body melted like tar, slipping out of Fu Qian’s grasp.
She really got quite a few benefits from the ritual, her restraining moves and escape as smooth as silk.
Fu Qian commented with obvious admiration.
Caught off guard at such close range, he was nearly unavoidable and had to take the hit directly.
And as long as he was slightly delayed, Teresa would have the chance to escape.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, the clearly corrosive fireball simply vanished without a trace.
At the same time, Fu Qian did not delay at all, his foot stomping down on the spot where Teresa had fallen.
Boom!
In a thunderous explosion, shards flew everywhere, and the surging momentum dispelled all the surrounding frost.
In the intense shock, Teresa’s liquefied body quivered like a torn cloth, quickly returning to her original form.
“No—”
In her roar, a gigantic claw once again caught her neck.
Lifting Teresa to face him, Fu Qian examined the hat on her head, thoughtfully.
Due to his previous experiences, he had become quite sensitive to hats.
With her escape attempt failed, Teresa’s eyes also showed a ferocious glint.
In the next instant, her body twisted and swelled quickly, a chaotic, corrupt aura spreading, eroding everything around her.
Click!
At that moment, a crisp sound halted Teresa’s suicidal action abruptly.
Just as he suspected!
Weighing the skull in his hand, Fu Qian observed the significant gap on it and nodded thoughtfully to himself.
