I do have a piece of insight on that—does Mr. Fu want to hear it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing what Fu Qian said, Niwalis revealed a profound and unfathomable smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Please do tell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The insight is quite simple: if you have no way to distinguish fantasy from reality, then they both are reality to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sounds somewhat Zen, but isn’t it a bit too idealistic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian questioned with a look of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be, this isn’t idealistic at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niwali’s smile didn’t lessen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For instance, right at this moment… You can try using the weapon you’ve hidden away—”Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Niwali could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his request, Fu Qian drew his gun and pulled the trigger about thirty centimeters from the man’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muzzle flash lit up the entire room in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next moment, Niwali was still sitting there unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian didn’t wait for him to speak and fired two more shots each at his head and chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after the gunshots, Niwali was still sitting there, without a scratch on him, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Fu Qian saw it clearly—in the instant he had fired, Niwali seemed to have disappeared on the spot for a moment and then reappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is indeed you, isn’t it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian didn’t fire his last bullet; instead, he casually sat down after putting aside his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s me. Besides, you seem calmer than I expected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niwalis readily admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just following your advice from earlier. Since it’s impossible to differentiate, might as well accept it openly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian conversed as if it was normal, as though he hadn’t just fired five shots at someone moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, did you arrange all these things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian gestured around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not wrong, you can freely traverse any world, just like what you did just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see me the moment I arrived here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, considering my control over this nightmare, tracking someone I’ve seen is quite easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you had the patience not to punch through me right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s because I was curious about what your true purpose was for coming here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So does Rosetta know about all this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, she doesn’t. However, at the same time, she’s an essential condition for sustaining this nightmare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s along the lines of what I suspected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a clicking of Fu Qian’s tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Rosetta’s and her friend Bernard’s delusional disorder, did you cause that too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfortunately no, but I did discover their talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fervent glint flashed across Niwalis’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I researched it for a long time, through years they were unaware of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Golden Needle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was quick to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct, that’s my masterpiece. Memorable, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed memorable, but on reflection, it doesn’t seem to match the description. Is it really the effect of the Golden Needle that keeps Rosetta in such a seemingly stable state?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian furrowed his brows, as if deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite sharp. No, Rosetta’s use of the Golden Needle has nothing to do with her stability. In fact, it’s a matter of my will alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But at the same time, her actions are crucial to sustaining all of this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niwalis seemed quite entertained by the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stumbling upon them was a mere coincidence at first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I quickly realized the incredible concept they embodied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After meticulous observation and testing, I found a possible reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their innate talent, although manifesting differently, had never truly vanished but had transformed into an imperceptible state at some point during their growth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They seemed to have completely lost their talents, but that state enabled them to connect with some very special existence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A type of special concept so high-ranking it could almost transcend dimensions, causing distortions in reality, creating nightmares almost indistinguishable from reality, like random bubbles in a vast world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These bubbles are fleeting, and ordinary people can hardly observe or capture them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only Rosetta and her kind, through that special connection, can randomly traverse them, which causes them immense suffering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After guessing this, I spent countless efforts and very precious materials, and finally, I created that Golden Needle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The after-effect of Rosetta using it is akin to marking her own will as a beacon, pulling these bubbles towards herself, allowing them to envelop the surrounding world steadily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a result, this extraordinary existence was finally captured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And at this moment, I am the master of this nightmare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niwalis spread his arms wide, a look of ecstasy on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-03T07:50:25.893Z","2026-06-03T07:50:30.691Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f6b99bae91759cc198d6be78d2fe9e6519050eef701d3d07ad0b74685c9fa60","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-434","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-432",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
