However, what Wen Li couldn’t see was that, in the unseen area of his palm, a mouth full of sharp teeth had grown and swallowed the ear studs whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doing magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Wen Li, Fu Qian’s words undoubtedly had a bit too much of a leap, and she had apparently given up guessing as she watched silently, waiting for the mystery to be unveiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after the ear studs were “swallowed,” Fu Qian quickly noticed a change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the entire world seemed to dim a little in his eyes, even the colors became muddled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a fluctuating melody appeared seemingly out of nowhere in his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unbidden sound must have been the effect of the ear studs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded, silently experiencing all the changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the digestive efficiency. The ear studs that had just been swallowed were almost instantaneously dissolved, without any symptoms of indigestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vividly remembered the time he ate Su Gao’s dice, and how he was afflicted with terrible backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ease of digestion must be partly due to the item itself not being of a high grade, and on the other hand, his digestive ability seemed to have greatly improved under the effect of “Insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wen Li felt calmer after wearing the ear studs because of this special melody?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kind of requiem she wasn’t even aware of, playing on loop by her ear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her previous description, she clearly had no awareness of this effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that I could manifest it may be related to my maxed-out “Inspiration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, Fu Qian focused all his attention on the strange melody, which seemed to become clearer and clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t it sound like a human voice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just then, Fu Qian couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t talking nonsense. As the melody became clearer, he could vaguely make out that it indeed sounded like a human speaking, albeit with a strange pitch and interspersed with faint crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fu Qian felt he was about to discern the specifics of the content, he suddenly found that his surroundings had transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer were there a counter and bookshelves in front of him, nor was Wen Li to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their place was the interior of a majestic building, where the dim light exposed shelves toppled every which way, as if ravaged by a tornado.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flecks of light floating in the air, like tangible rainbows, provided illumination around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the items on the ground, I would’ve almost thought I’d been disconnected and sent back to the storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian shook his head and bent down to try and touch a book at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clearly had fallen from one of those shelves, suggesting this place resembled an ancient library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the tip of Fu Qian’s finger touched it, the book rapidly decayed into dust, denying him the opportunity to look through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is indeed a bit too unreal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian wasn’t too surprised by this since, at this very moment, following a special sense, he could still locate himself sitting in the bookstore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he was simply projecting his consciousness here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he wish it, he could return at any moment with a single thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been the effect of the ear studs that had followed that voice and led him into this special place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Fu Qian could now hear that voice, and it had become much clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t find… I… here… very… safe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the intermittent sobs, Fu Qian finally pieced together a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every pause was a cry, sad to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be denied, this was all too fitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silent and gloomy ancient building, the unrestrained weeping, are you a witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a wave of emotion, considering he could leave at any moment, Fu Qian decisively chose to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the stairs inside the building weren’t as fragile as those books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fu Qian attempted to step on them, he found they were slightly unstable, yet still entirely capable of supporting his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the crying clearly came from the floor above, after patiently ensuring there were no abnormalities, he directly climbed, step by step, toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, Fu Qian even tried to touch the free-floating brilliance with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, his palm passed right through it, but the light itself wasn’t without reaction; it almost instantly set off an invisible disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the tremor, Fu Qian even felt his very existence was affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had come here before solidifying his profession, he feared there could have been trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the change within himself, Fu Qian remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his existence became unstable, Fu Qian sensed he seemed to be under a subtle scrutiny, much like when he first ascended to demigodhood, though it stabilized and passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he couldn’t afford to be careless; this place was quite peculiar. Currently, it was as if he was multitasking by entering here—if his real consciousness were to suffer any invasion, it would likely affect reality, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thought, Fu Qian had already reached the top of the last flight of stairs and laid eyes on his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really is a witch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the scene before him, Fu Qian couldn’t help but frown for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On an extended balcony on the second floor, a short-haired woman crouched, covering her face and crying, her body pale and withered to an exaggerated extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, what was particularly striking was that she wore not what one would consider typical clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, her body was adorned with large, vivid marks that looked like irregular pieces of colored glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the refraction of the airborne rainbow light, they appeared exceptionally dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the woman was crying with such abandonment that she completely failed to notice Fu Qian’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, Fu Qian didn’t rush forward to startle her, choosing instead to silently observe from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for him to realize that she wasn’t limited to that one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the mournful sobs, Fu Qian quickly distinguished other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen… to my voice, don’t let there be no one… to hear me speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name… is Liliyana.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t be introducing herself, could she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearly hearing a name being mentioned, Fu Qian frowned even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed illogical, the woman’s demeanor was evidently that of talking to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That brought up the question, why would someone emphasize their own name to themselves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of worry of forgetting it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian guessed a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just then, the witch seemed to recall some sorrowful memory, her crying intensified by so much that one could even hear the evident fear in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only… a little left… I don’t want to continue the task.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1253,"2026-06-03T07:50:43.059Z","2026-06-03T07:50:47.187Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a20a6dd04dec23ccb8c98cc076b986417f5b7252c1156b2fb565b486050f1c0","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-574","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-572",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
