not only does it casually pierce through the channel to reality, but it also seems to have a good grasp of that world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, instead of stepping across the dimension, the next moment saw the agent’s body gradually becoming indistinguishable, ultimately merging into the thick mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the person was still in place, Fu Qian was quite certain of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his body almost underwent the simultaneous change, becoming closely linked with the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he become a sacrificed pawn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the mist have a direct connection with the Law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly analyzing this scene, Fu Qian did not raise any objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was one of the backup ways he approved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original plan, if this task could not be contributed, the next step was to start from the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This worldwide, integrated existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, agent brother clearly was not interested in sharing the reasons for making the same judgment right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I now believe that you indeed have survival instincts, rather than being truly crazy, and it seems you’ve provided a valuable suggestion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to share the results with great practical spirit, though he actually didn’t even need to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian, influenced into a quasi-sacrificed state, also had already experienced that special feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood drawn from his body caused ripples in the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manifestation of life’s passing became more concrete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t enough, still weak, unable to pinpoint a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep at it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Fu Qian decisively signaled to avoid complacency, and strive further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s fundamentally no way, it’s too weak, we wouldn’t find it until we perished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, agent brother emphasized the difficulty once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not easily conclude that there’s no problem that cannot be solved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian once again provided ideological guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too weak to track, wouldn’t you think of making it stronger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Do you know what you’re talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agent brother seemed to regret the earlier assertion that he was not crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, and knowing that you have ideas, yet still wasting time expressing emotions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian’s stance was steadfast as losing one’s humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Although I can’t sever the connection, I certainly can amplify the loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two seconds of silence, the agent finally got back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that kind of scenario, it might indeed make tracing easier, but death would also come at a much faster pace, and once it starts, it can’t be undone, are you really sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Affirmative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian’s answer came without the slightest hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead and do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-03T07:51:05.781Z","2026-06-03T07:51:09.336Z",1,"novelbin.me","61c61923bacd95a1a80fb1a042f0dc71f9d20e295b0010ae7f8a2fb51a083130","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1377","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1375",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
