Such a test is truly dull and uninspiring, for a Divine Envoy designer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Experimentation is always tedious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli emphasized, yet did not refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can that be, I know an Old Master Takahashi Yaehiro, whose experimental projects are very interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian didn’t seem to agree with her statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You call that an experiment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Nepheli’s suddenly solemn tone, Fu Qian watched as Zetian filled his teacup to the brim, and then continued pouring without any sign of stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overflow of tea, however, did not spill over but instead turned into a mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tea-scented mist, drawn by some invisible force, spread along the table surface before swiftly forming a curtain of haze around the four individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think our communication content needs to be kept more confidential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Nepheli waved her hand, and Zetian, without uttering a word, took the empty pot and walked out of the curtain, standing at a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quite an interesting technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signaling with his eyes for Su Gao not to act hastily, Fu Qian surveyed the surrounding curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be felt that this curtain did not restrict entry or exit but was exceptionally effective in isolating perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merely a minor trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Mr. Darcy labels the Infamy Rule as an experiment when, as far as I know, you haven’t even tried it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could the reason I didn’t participate in the test be that I don’t like being an experimental subject?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such an obvious probe, Fu Qian adopted an attitude of not wanting to waste words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have always been an honest person. I said earlier that this little game is a bit more interesting, and that was not an unfounded judgment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, I’m curious, to define a concept out of nowhere, this is something Old Master Takahashi couldn’t do; who then is the real person in charge of this project?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yasui Tokiyuki, but I do provide some technical advice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli sighed, finally confirming that Fu Qian was not deceiving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian replied as if he had just understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Old Master Yasui was still working at midnight yesterday? No wonder you mentioned he’s busy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Fu Qian felt he was being targeted by a surge of overwhelming killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must say, today’s surprises are just too many!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Nepheli voiced her heartfelt exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this also proves that, indeed, you are not the Night Watchman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that obvious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So in your opinion, Yasui Tokiyuki’s actions last night are the cause of the changes in Kagetsu Kana?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli’s words were almost an implicit admission that last night there were indeed some manipulations with the Infamy Rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fu Qian retorted, Nepheli realized that she might have been asking too many questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s indeed the most likely possibility, Kagetsu Kana clearly has a special talent, what a pity that those fools never realized it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she didn’t dwell on it and scoffed, showing her disdain for the idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The materialization of the Infamy concept must have inadvertently harmonized with some cultivation rule; from this perspective, Yasui Tokiyuki actually helped her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, even her sister said she has become a lot more obedient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to beat around the bush, it’s no problem to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli huffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, this feeling is really not bad, like something you’ve carefully designed finally being appreciated by someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guessed correctly, the universal knowledge of Infamy is not simply a playful matter; its core is the plundering, or erosion, of others’ cognitive power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First define and spread the concept, then endow it with Transcendent significance. So far, both steps have been carried out well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to Yasui Tokiyuki’s efforts, this concept now exists in the perception of most people on Ye Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And starting from midnight yesterday, many people will find themselves incredibly persuasive, easily able to influence the will of others. Of course, they can also be influenced by those of a higher ‘tier’ or by those with a unique cognitive impact on them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And it seems Kagetsu Kana’s talent requires her to engage in such acts in order to be nurtured and honed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed similar to his previous suppositions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian listened and nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who had more interactions with Kagetsu Kana, he was deeply impressed by her psychopathic level of desire for conquest and control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the activation of Infamy, her boyfriend Takagi had gone completely mad, ultimately dying in pursuit of her approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that her path of cultivation lies in this total conquest from body to mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great minds think alike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded as he pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if you’re neither Siren nor Night Watchman, what’s your purpose here? Surely you’re not really interested in our research, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nepheli appeared unimpressed by this recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian gestured to himself and Su Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The path to advancement beyond Demigod is unpredictable and mysterious, with such a good reference at hand, why not make good use of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Nepheli fell into contemplation, even forgetting to drink from the cup she was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this scene, Fu Qian suddenly turned to look at Su Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all been frankly confessed; can report to the Council, take them away.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-03T07:50:45.512Z","2026-06-03T07:50:50.656Z",1,"novelbin.me","4ba093a21fff40e37759d382d84a1b1732e9d136af696477fbfe6919ac6b68e9","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-784","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-782",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
