If I really were one of you, do you think you could even touch a hair on those people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, facing the two Demigods whose expressions had drastically changed, Fu Qian scorned them with an offhand remark, continuing his erratic antics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken these words than the originally deadly atmosphere visibly paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extreme indignation brewing within the two Demigods dissipated in an instant like a balloon pricked by a needle, their eyes becoming vacant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explanation… seemed to make some sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this guy was really of the same origin as the two of them, not to mention anything else, Yuan Fang, as a Prophet, should have some control over his whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was too late to stop their destructive actions, he should have been able to notify someone immediately; how could he let that group get away so smoothly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless—“Unless Yuan Fang is a traitor too, and I have long been in cahoots with him, just putting on a play for you to see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if fully understanding what they were thinking, Fu Qian said this bluntly, continuing his ruse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this latter part was true; the two indeed had a secret plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could a Prophet also be a traitor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Demigods looked utterly bewildered, unwilling to believe this possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if not, then how did this guy know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… you absorbed a part of the Clown’s memory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst confusion, Akasha’s voice rang out the next moment, proposing an answer that seemed to make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, such an ingenious explanation was most likely not her own creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To come up with a plausible reason so quickly could only mean that Brother Yuan Fang had put in a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the question just now was really meant for three people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian certainly had no interest in caring about the love and hate between Akasha and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal now was very simple, he needed to get more information about the Unseen Hillock through these indigenous people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the past and the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yuan Fang had been relatively honest during that earlier candid conversation, when it came to matters irrelevant to his plan, he remained tight-lipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without pressure, one cannot prove their way. Simply provoking anger wouldn’t work, Yuan Fang would not care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared that the only thing that could possibly pressure him was the success rate of the “pretend to be outsiders” plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasha’s reaction proved this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you think there exists such a thing as memory absorption? Have you also absorbed the memories of the original owner of this body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, faced with Akasha’s speculation, Fu Qian neither confirmed nor denied, even questioning in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this question, not only was Akasha momentarily speechless, but even Crystal involuntarily looked her way with a peculiar gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for memory absorption, Akasha is my name, and I am a reincarnated demigod.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasha took a moment to think, then with a solemn expression and firm tone, made herself clear,The name of this body was Akasha, and after she digested the spider eggs, she realized she was the reincarnated Spider Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this answer, Crystal averted her gaze, falling silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I have a question for you, what was your name in the earliest memories of you as a demigod?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasha answered much more swiftly this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was an evil, bloodthirsty super-villain, nothing more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re saying that from the very first moment you were self-aware, you were utterly certain that you were an evil super-villain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This response piqued Fu Qian’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s the essence etched deep within my soul, of which I am very clear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the conversation, Akasha even glanced at Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as they are heroes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was definitely amiss here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian inwardly sighed at Akasha’s self-description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This title of super-villain, coupled with the bizarre-looking carriage, felt all too familiar…elements he had never encountered in the world controlled by the Night Watchman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first moment he entered this place, that familiar yet odd sensation hadn’t dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if…all these elements were extracted from the brain of someone from the same place as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people here were so pure that they seemed almost like manifestations of certain willful symbols, like Akasha’s self-awareness as a super-villain or the vampiric Spider Queen identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after all these symbols emerged from consciousness, they converged here, slowly eroding into mud, never leaking out a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the question arose: if all this truly stemmed from the mind of some mysterious compatriot, where was that individual now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That saint in the great hall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint clearly lacked human will and seemed more like a collection of fragments from what was seen earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Fang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, there was a resemblance, and although he held a low ranking, he possessed not only a strange divining ability but was also quite keen on escaping the cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was an obvious issue—aside from his divining ability, there wasn’t any fundamental difference between him and Akasha. Like her, he had no knowledge of his past or reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…The Second-rate Fortuneteller, Kisaragi Chie, once said that their industry’s top-tier, one kind relied entirely on close observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Yuan Fang was also of this type?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could his so-called destiny be nothing more than a prophecy drawn from a special perspective for the entire Unseen Hillock?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps besides observation, there was some inquiry involved, and maybe he was directly “told” about it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-03T07:50:46.539Z","2026-06-03T07:50:52.553Z",1,"novelbin.me","dbc0dcbfd8dec5423f204248e22ad1ef77406e22860b2de3b23e1eaa3ec1a29e","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-935","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-934",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
