Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2679: Chapter 2674: Revelation

To be fair, Lady Selana returned even faster than expected.

Fu Qian has always been good at eye contact, mainly because the word ’guilty’ is never in his dictionary.

And it was obvious that Selana, who didn’t come solely for business, was unaware that Fu Qian had long been expecting her.

Yes, Selana would definitely come.

It was previously mentioned that once things progressed to that degree, she wouldn’t stay in Moore.

Then where else would she go if not Moore?

The answer is evident; besides Shangjing, there is almost no other possibility.

After all, there’s a core reason here—the title "Death Overlord" was known from Shangjing, and it was the bookstore owner right before her who informed her.

And now the relationship between the Death Overlord and the Greedy Worms has truly been confirmed.

In such a scenario, the urge to return home, thinking of chatting with the bookstore owner, what’s wrong with that?

Not to mention, upon returning, she immediately discovered the family’s secret treasure had been lost again.

Indeed, that particular bookstore owner might be tricky, but there’s someone easier to deal with related to the Death Overlord, and that’s the junior family member, Tyler.

Tyler undoubtedly has repeatedly achieved great things, always bringing surprises.

For instance, just recently his cloak was snatched by the Grand Fate Ming Emperor and tossed into a warehouse, making it probably untraceable.

Such clever yet uncovered glorious deeds are, by Tyler’s style, likely not to be boasted about.

But how could such a thing be kept secret? Let’s not forget, earlier it was speculated that Grantham was probably aware.

Now, there’s another demigod who just rushed back.

And the one who took the Bloodline Clan’s secret treasure was the Grand Fate Ming Emperor, who appeared alongside the Greedy Worms.

The series of progressions finally implicate the Grand Fate Ming Emperor in the affairs with the Death Overlord as well.

From Selana’s perspective, it seems that after leaving for just a few days, Shangjing is catching up with the liveliness of Moore, and it too is overshadowed by the shadow of the Death Overlord.

The urgent desire to talk with the bookstore owner is likely even harder to resist.

Fortunately, the bookstore owner is very diligent, still open at night.

"Remember what you told me about the Death Overlord?"

And indeed, the benefit of academic pursuit is true; after a not-too-long silence, Selana sat in an outside seat and surprisingly learned to get straight to the point.

...

Not bad, finally learned the means to deal with deceitful persons.

At that moment, Fu Qian also nodded inwardly.

In previous visits, Selana clearly suffered some minor losses in exchanges.

One frequently occurring point was that when you went roundabout, I went roundabout too, until it couldn’t be pulled back.

"Remember, any interesting discoveries?"

For a moment, Fu Qian readily joined the discussion with the demeanor of an academic practitioner.

"Yes, a while ago I followed the clues and chased the group that once wreaked havoc in Shangjing."

Selana nodded, still maintaining that honesty.

"And I found something very interesting... It seems what you said was right; that indeed was the emblem belonging to the Death Overlord."

Speaking, her fingers danced in the air, and Selana drew the symbol belonging to the Abandonment King.

And this "truth", was previously told by the person right in front of her.

"Oh? Where?"

Fu Qian, of course, didn’t correct this point and was obviously quite interested in Selana’s experiences.

"A place called Moore, know it?"

Selana didn’t disappoint, continuing honestly.

"Yes, the city closest to the Sea of Ashes."

Fu Qian rubbed his chin, seemingly plunged into distant memories.

"Indeed... Most people’s first reaction when Moore is mentioned is this."

Selana seemed rather pleased with the smoothness of today’s talk, even letting out a gentle sigh.

"But it seems Moore’s mysteries go far beyond this; it inherently possesses quite special attributes, like being alive, and concerning the Death Overlord."

...

"A living Death Attribute Creation?"

The last line undoubtedly provokes intrigue; Fu Qian frowned slightly, helping to summarize.

"Sounds a bit strange, but that’s the reality."

Having seemingly given up on finding flaws in Fu Qian’s facial expressions, Selana gave the impression of indulging in the joy of sharing.

"Along with overlapping Moore’s harbor, there’s an even more abstract creation that exists only in the storm, appearing as if two ends of a life-death balance with external Moore."

Including the description of Moore is vivid; Fu Qian at once recalled the raging rain and wind, and of course, the taste of pomegranate juice.

"And the group of folks you found within?"

Not letting Selana toil alone, Fu Qian timely chimed in, and likewise, didn’t fib.

"Exactly, even witnessed their somewhat incredible forms—a bird hollowed out by bugs inside but still capable of flying under manipulation."

Under cooperation, Selana gained momentum, again offering a startling description.

Worms and bird...

Hearing this description, Boss Fang too fell into contemplation, then reached out beside him for a pen, quickly beginning to scribble.

"Is it like this?"

A moment later, he raised his notebook, a special shape leaped off the page.

...

In response to Selana’s sincere style, Fu Qian made no modifications to the single-winged bird design, even though the former never mentioned that the bird had only one wing.

"You know..."

Such an excessively lifelike pattern clearly brought Selana a significant impact.

"I know, and might know what that group is up to."

Fu Qian wasn’t modest; at that moment, he appeared to have figured out many things.

"As retainers, plotting to summon the Death Overlord back?"

Selana seemed to have thought about this too.

"Aren’t you perhaps overestimating them?"

Yet this time Fu Qian seemed rather disagreeable, looking at her with an amused expression.

"And that is?"

Facing repeated disdain, having become somewhat unafraid of challenge, Selana impassively questioned back.

"Such things are still far off; I guess they might be seeking someone, a more capable character to summon the Death Overlord back—the Ancient Angel."

Fu Qian naturally responded fluently, finally uttering a name.

"...Ancient Angel?"

Among the highest forms of lying is mixing truth with falsehood; the straightforward Selana throughout appeared utterly surprised, as if she’d never heard of the term.

"Yes, Ancient Angel."

Fu Qian merely sighed softly, his gaze seemingly fixed on an infinitely distant place, once more lost in thought.

"First appeared in a special Revelation, the Death Overlord graced the angel at His fingertips."
