The only spoils of battle, the eyeball, was also thrown into the sea by myself, even along with a set of clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute, could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling this experience, Fu Qian suddenly had an epiphany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If tangible assets are all ruled out, could it be intangible assets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this trip, did I end up with blood on my hands from a former employee who left without cause?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the warehouse was so pleased that it gave me a day off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, the fact that Goto Hi could stay inside there without being forcibly pulled out by the warehouse to work, is quite a curious incident, and the underlying reasons are worth further investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seems that’s not right either, not too long before this, I killed Liliyana, and there was no holiday for me then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because the place of causality has changed, even more detached from the warehouse’s control than the Shattered Crown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts racing, Fu Qian gradually formed a possible line of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining the fact that Liliyana used that place as an escape from servitude, it seems that bunch of bubbles possesses quite an extraordinary independence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a pity that she’s no longer able to provide me with answers, and the Night Watchman who clearly knows something, might be a source of trouble if I went to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I’ve already gotten into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the itinerary ahead, Fu Qian shook his head and placed the Crystalline Sun on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t rush to devour the special trait and complete the “Pseudo-God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the purpose of this trip seems perfectly accomplished, the situation has actually become even more difficult to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most valuable information obtained at the moment is that there is indeed a Superior Deity watching me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understands my situation, knows my status, and my requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even has considerable execution power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the Pseudo-God Ritual ahead of schedule, the two fortunes I felt back then now seem to have an explanation — one of them is fake, a fabrication by the Divine Beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have to choose one from the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seems that even the Red Moon has no way to discern them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because strictly speaking, I’ve already come into close contact with all of them, but received no special warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has the worst-case scenario happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to gamble without any basis, just like the advice I previously gave to Goto Hi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even feels like if I gambled wrong, my fate wouldn’t be any better than hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is getting more and more interesting indeed. If that one is truly the Prism of Radiant Transformation, I’m curious what beef He has with the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Administrators buried by His hands were truly not a few, and now He’s drawn me into Goto Hi’s predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s a pity that I am not Goto Hi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up the mask I had just set down, Fu Qian compliantly signed off from work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to be so polite tomorrow, you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before putting on the mask, he smiled amiably at the warehouse and gave a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before taking off the mask, I didn’t process it with a Return Edict, so not surprisingly, I appeared on the second floor of the bookstore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky outside is still dark, though it is already Thursday, it is still very early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting up from the bed, Fu Qian is quite satisfied with his timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the experiences of this trip, the first thing he did was to take a shower, then he found a set of backup clothes from the wardrobe to change into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this, he even had time to go buy breakfast, enjoying it while he started today’s business ventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ready to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chief Yuan did not disappoint, after a certain bleary-eyed insomniac, she was the second to enter this bookstore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one even changed into clothes that are more suitable for moving around, of course still looking quite valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fu Qian punctually cultivating his health in the bookstore, her expression was full of relief with a touch of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian swallowed the bun in his hand in one bite, glancing with a hint of regret at the only customer.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-03T07:51:02.501Z","2026-06-03T07:51:06.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","de91869ba4089963f8b035c8b716b37239733d53f46395e76faad214773805f4","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1170","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1168",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
