Those three worms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This term led Fu Qian into imaginative thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I put it, although it greatly conflicts with the name ‘Dragon King’s blessing,’ it indeed resembles it slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this claim matched what Sunny did at the time; she did reach for the umbilical cord in front of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Considering your formidable strength, I had to borrow the ‘blessing’ and project a bit of its image, to maximally restrict you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A reasonable decision to turn disadvantages into advantages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening earnestly to the strategy laid out against him, Fu Qian fairly commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad I didn’t expect that I had chosen the wrong target; you turned out to be a Demigod too… and even seem more difficult to deal with than Kelson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny, with a complex tone, gave Fu Qian a high evaluation for his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, I even regret not directly making a move on Kelson, as you don’t seem to care too much about my life and death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then you’re mistaken, although I’m indeed more interested in the being you’re pledged to, it’s important duty-wise that you stay alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian thought quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if you take the three umbilical cords, will I become the next Sunny?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny hesitated slightly before affirming his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the symbol of your original self, your complete existence will be compromised by this, and when they merge in my hand, you will become completely my Puppet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m well aware of this, because back then… I did the same thing to Sunny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, even if someone is stronger than me, with its help, I can still try, although I really detest this action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Original self, so this umbilical cord also falls within the range affected by the oath, defined as a special concept?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the so-called dark side of humanity in the Angel Dungeon, only visible directly to an Oath Taker?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It checks out, and they’ve both got the guts to choose me as their target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having someone powerful covering you indeed makes one bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While showing understanding, Fu Qian went on to speak for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, once successful, by using me as a cover here until the blessing disappears, even if Kelson discovers us by chance, at least I am a formidable force in a fight, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that certainly is the ideal scenario I had in mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny sounded somewhat like she was laying her cards on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you are planning any retaliative action, I completely understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, I still have the capacity to continue because I don’t need to rely on a reflection to see the umbilical cords.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very honest, this is where choices determine fate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Sunny, who was already in a defensive stance, Fu Qian sighed, maintaining his stable demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You’re not planning to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny seemed quite shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why kill? What standing do I have to stoop to your level!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… Then you’ll let us go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why leave? Regardless of the process, isn’t this an ideal situation as per your plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The choice is yours to make, no need for my approval.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Fu Qian’s authoritative statements, Sunny and the others were once again speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one thinks about it carefully, he was indeed correct; besides not having turned Fu Qian into a Puppet, not only did they succeed in using this place as a hideout, but even the potentially revealing blessing was somewhat restrained with his help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll be intruding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny finally chose a spot to sit down, indicating her stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s no trouble at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian waved his hand nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, I suggest you all should ponder why Sunny, who never entered the blessing, appeared here, to prepare for the questioning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Questioning? By whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny was obviously startled for a moment, instinctively looking through the broken window before realizing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Kelson wants to avoid direct conflict with me, how could he not arrange someone to monitor the activity here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the news of Sunny appearing here will quickly reach his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed at which Kelson appears here will be inversely proportional to his captures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given he’s unlikely to have any captures, his arrival should be swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the silent Sunny, and even the rapidly approaching electric light outside, Fu Qian’s focus was on the investigative findings Ah Long mentioned earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Deity from the Mythic Era whose honored name is taboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, this contradicts common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what I understand, most Ancient Deities only lost their revered names after the long night; during the epoch of widespread faith before that, if they didn’t have specific identifiers, how could their followers pray?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it purely by envisioning the Divine Beings in their minds? Is this why they made such a large seat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Periodically manifesting to prevent deviations in the followers’ envisioning efforts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logic is sound but also abstract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian didn’t think Ah Long was lying, although his words just now were indeed reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Fu Qian doesn’t believe that he completely doesn’t know how he became an envoy of the Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such concealment also adds a layer of credibility to his reluctance to have more people follow suit—otherwise, he should be actively sharing the method to increase his chances of turning into a similar being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As analternative option for making a Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, just this part of ancient secrets makes the decision to respect others’ fates rather than complete the task in the most efficient manner worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Content within, Kelson’s Demigod figure had already returned and once again confronted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he spoke, undoubtedly keeping an eye on Sunny sitting nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t go so well? Let the little bug escape?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded slightly as a greeting, continuing with seamless sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You shouldn’t be waiting to act in tandem with me, right? Your spirit of fair competition is admirable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did Madam Sunny end up here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having previously experienced Fu Qian’s power in sarcasm, although Kelson’s face was like iron, he did not let it distract his focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian naturally looked over as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to know that too.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-03T07:51:01.631Z","2026-06-03T07:51:04.811Z",1,"novelbin.me","10d37beb75c077c137fabe6d7392989647a0f44e115272de3de9c3789747a2c4","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1109","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1107",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
