It probably can’t usually capture this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witch acknowledged Fu Qian’s question and seemingly spoke with her hand brushing over a hint of chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian seemed to hear a sound of shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this action, the Calamity Eye symbolizing disaster quietly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the target that was locked on has ceased to exist, all malice and struggle fall into void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our arrival seems to have caused a special disturbance, letting it sense this place quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effortlessly crushing the target, the Witch’s little lesson continued, sharing her personal insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reasonable, otherwise it’s hard to believe this place could be maintained for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian had no doubt about the Witch’s judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, causing disturbance is one thing, such swift contact proves this place has unusual properties indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witch indeed found an appropriate demonstration tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Similar to the Other Shore of the Stars Association? Honestly, I think the level is somewhat lacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While contemplating, Fu Qian also offered his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed it’s lacking a bit, but it inherently has some conceptual sensitivity, ultimately showing particular vulnerability; it’s quite surprising it survived the previous legal revival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually agreeing, the Witch extended her hand again, touching the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the other end of the connection might not be ordinary Extraordinary Creatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Fu Qian didn’t need the Witch’s help to locate what she pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, saying the Sun was too big seemed a far cry from the heat felt here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, behind the void, there appeared a fractured realm of chaotic forces, extremely unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless conflict and tearing make everything heated, surging into a sea like lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this \"sea\" is raising giant waves, seemingly ready to pour in the next moment, consuming everything—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you think if the world changes imperceptibly, this place might respond?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While showing understanding of the Witch’s view, Fu Qian detonated a Calamity Eye, instantly calming the agitated \"lava.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-03T07:51:33.057Z","2026-06-03T07:51:39.527Z",1,"novelbin.me","969a0cdce829007f2b510042d094f7407adb59d8f16ff864dfa827db6fe17b30","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2195","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2193",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
