Indeed, it is sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian expressed deep understanding of Yuan Shan’s emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the title of Divine Envoy initially sounded odd, it mostly conveys a sense of nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after Old Master Henry’s detailed explanation, the supporting roles and helplessness are comparable to a scabbard forged after countless trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that Chief Yuan’s teacher is in a state even worse than a scabbard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only goes to show that the closer one gets to the end, the more eerie the path of the Transcendent becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Chief Yuan, who only looks at the present without aiming too high, indeed has a good approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, speaking of peculiarities, she had yet to encounter anything more abstract — even in her Second Phase, she served as her own Angel Envoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, borrowing the assistance of Emperor Yasui to successfully complete the Second Phase ritual made her feel deeply fascinated by the logic within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming the special traits she chose, the scene of selecting Divine Skin was even more spectacular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, referring to Yuan Shan’s statements, some things suddenly appeared to have some sense of déjà vu — was her choice of Divine Skin back then an alternative reflection of the endpoint of the Divine Road?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the reflection wasn’t of her own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, is her current situation an excessively reflected one, to the point it is welded to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt a sense of belonging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always skilled in recognizing the optimistic side, Fu Qian quickly engaged in self-reflection, not forgetting to affirm the system’s inclusivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only for psychological feelings but practically, this was extremely important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not forget that the true First Phase advancement ritual has yet to show any sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the current state, under the perception system aided by the Witch, the necessity for rapid advancement doesn’t seem so urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet proving it is still within the system undoubtedly means there are far more reference points available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to add unnecessary worries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining yet more insights, Fu Qian did not forget to reciprocate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, being in the worldly society demand conformity, when it really comes knocking, it’s something you can’t avoid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually don’t know how to comment on this sentence... but let’s take your words as a blessing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian’s skill in comforting others was always outstanding, so much so that Chief Yuan’s somber demeanor could no longer be maintained, and her features instantly settled into a conflicted state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In general, that’s roughly the content... Is there anything else you want to ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a long sigh, Yuan Shan expressed that her \"sudden self\" release was complete and casually asked Fu Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it must be said, she really was meticulous; having been assisted, she hadn’t even asked why they chose this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what else could be asked — there were still too many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian noted with a thumbs-up in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, were there originally thirteen suns in the sky...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, does the Night Watchman know that the authority of the sun is somewhat controlled by the Prism of Radiant Transformation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Night Watchman’s internal history class, was it ever mentioned who the lord of Heaven is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, some topics remain rather sensitive, and Fu Qian had no intention of further dragging Chief Yuan into it, instead shifting to a more folklore-oriented question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord of Heaven...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the only question was still somewhat difficult for Chief Yuan to answer, deeply furrowing her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This concept is genuinely very complex, even relatively new, to be honest. Even in the Night Holy City’s chapels and temples, you can find nearly two-digit numbers of such descriptions. You should have seen them before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She eventually shook her head after much consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Fu Qian remembered well, as Old Master Henry had long been entrenched there, making him search in various places just to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, both master and disciple confessed that the reason for the indulgence in the city was due to a strong guiding factor pointing to something other than true Divine Beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, it was a system of belief monitoring specially designed by the Night Watchman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after death, entering Paradise, neither belongs to the widely spread teachings within the solar faith?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or is it also part of the history deliberately concealed by the Night Watchman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No answer is also an answer, and while Chief Yuan seemed slightly apologetic, Fu Qian showed no complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task in Paradise at that time, as summarized in the warehouse, stated that Eckhart’s suicide was to prove that their faith’s object had not abandoned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he indeed succeeded, really arriving at Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though prior to that, he had already been corrupted by Lord Stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a classic concept as the sun, such a domineering name as the \"Unbearable Wheel,\" if explicitly included in the teachings, it shouldn’t be completely buried in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can it be that this belongs to the level of mysteries that only Angel Envoys of the caliber of an Ancient Man can grasp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t it be too abstract? Shouldn’t this be used to attract followers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, this situation makes one somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resulting in the relationship between the \"sun\" and \"Paradise\" suddenly becoming enigmatic once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the instance where she encountered the backstabbing tyrant, \"Mourning God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, not all leads were lost — regarding the project of Ecstasy, she was at least one of the guiding experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Stomach clearly had deep connections with the Lord of Bliss, it wouldn’t hurt to follow this line from His perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overall, thank you very much, it was a lot of hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In great spirits, for a moment even a slight impact on turnover didn’t bother Fu Qian, offering his thanks with a cheerful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No trouble at all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling slightly reactive, the Poison Master was so earnest that Yuan Shan instinctively glanced at his face, worried about deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, she sensed the sincerity within, and the next moment exhaled lightly, waving her hand with an air of boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there only verbal thanks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this harmony lasted only a few seconds before she remembered something, examining Fu Qian, displaying a peculiar expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian naturally showed no discomfort, asking casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve dressed quite formally today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yuan Shan indeed focused on a familiar area, smiling as she commented on Fu Qian’s attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Li’s taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian naturally wouldn’t covet such superficial fame, immediately attributing the credit to its rightful owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder, looks so thoughtful... She is still over at the Academy and hasn’t returned, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone was casual enough, yet Chief Yuan’s words sounded increasingly improper, tempting one into peculiar thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a master of leading others astray, how could Fu Qian fall for such a trivial trick, immediately interrupting without changing his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you look good too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even remembered to reciprocate the compliment, giving Yuan Shan praise for her attire today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... Now, do you have any interest in attending a social event with this charming participant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A failed misdirect did not affect her mood at all, and with a smile, Yuan Shan gestured outside.\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-03T07:51:37.809Z","2026-06-03T07:51:40.755Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab816d77c146d2480ea9232b18aa62f0c377beb66c36764af620498deddb282b","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2285","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2283",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
