Chapter 1531: Chapter 1526: Human Plant (35)

Pay attention to detail.

Lady Ji Ning didn’t make any moves, but instead, Mr. Li Sr. volunteered, which made Fu Qian marvel for a moment.

It definitely wasn’t an attempt to seize the fruits of victory, as the situation hadn’t yet progressed far from Huadu.

Obviously, the old man wanted to help share the risk.

On one hand, based on previous deductions, the target they faced this time was truly astonishing.

At the same time, the dagger’s abnormality also indicated a certain instability in Ji Ning’s tracking methods.

Combining the two, whether there would be any hidden danger from the statue ahead was a question hard to ignore.

And being able to pull out the dagger himself proved that the clues weren’t necessarily exclusive to Ji Ning. In this perilous predicament, letting the team’s premier combat force take the lead was a prudent measure they could slightly afford.

"Touch any part of your body to the surface."

With the old man’s enthusiastic offer, how could Fu Qian delay?

As soon as the words left his mouth, he was already pointing to the statue, casually explaining how to use it.

"This is much simpler than I thought. I was worried I’d need to climb, which could be a bit disrespectful."

Ignoring the varied expressions of the others, the old man went straight forward, even joking about it.

...

If this was really crafted by an artisan, it would undoubtedly be considered a masterpiece.

Fu Qian, who followed closely behind the old man, stood beneath the statue and once again marveled during the close inspection.

The size was one thing, but the details from this position were even clearer.

Even though the structure was integrated, the armor seemed to have been meticulously polished, and even in dim light, it shimmered with a metallic sheen, while the exposed skin’s textures were clearly visible.

Meanwhile, Mr. Li Sr.’s hand had already touched it.

"This is..."

Almost instantly, he frowned and instinctively looked up.

Above the statue’s head was a grand and solemn dome.

There weren’t overly complex decorations, so despite its exaggerated height, it was still plainly visible and appeared empty.

Yet the old man still watched intently.

"Is there something there?"

When Luyi, who was furthest away, looked up in confusion, Fu Qian took a step forward, pressing his hand on it as well.

This time, it didn’t seem to be picky.

An oddly familiar feeling came over as Fu Qian mimicked the old man’s action, glancing upward at the dome from a seventy-five-degree angle.

It remained empty.

Yet simultaneously, Fu Qian "saw" a small, thin body clinging to it like a gecko.

It was similar to the previous vision obtained after smearing the dagger with blood, stemming from abstract insights like those found in the notebook.

Even in the next moment, as though it sensed his observing, the disproportionately small head with just a few strands of hair slowly turned, revealing a remarkably normal face, reminiscent of the statue.

Benjamin Larea?

[Mission Complete]

[Current task updated: Disrupt the condensation of the Face of the Divine Human]

As though to confirm his thoughts, the prompt sounded nearly simultaneously.

...

It’s really true.

The shape, the face, and even the confirmation from the task prompt all seem to indicate that this existence, which could only be "seen" in this special way, was indeed the new member of the Larea Family.

Also the source of the crying he needed to find.

And its current face resembled the statue below, which clearly depicted an ancestral figure of the family.

Subsequent mission objectives even mentioned the "Face of the Divine Human."

The Divine Human Family, the face hidden within the bloodline, and the higher power it connected to... Everything matched the previous findings.

Even the moment it looked back seemed to carry a certain noble will, a will difficult to resist even for himself, now restored to a demigod.

Of course, Fu Qian knew all this was not truly seen with his eyes.

Including the feelings after "as if," this sensation of being watched also stemmed from notebook-style insights, as if text was directly copied from within.

Interesting, it seems to reveal why these people were chosen.

...

Observing the miraculous scene from two different perspectives didn’t hinder Fu Qian’s attention to Mr. Li Sr.’s reaction.

And he was pretty sure the old man "saw" the same thing he did... So did the others.

Without waiting for the old man’s signal, Fu Qian immediately followed suit, prompting the others to quickly imitate and experience the same revelations.

They all saw Benjamin Larea, which was also the rationale for their presence here.

Throughout the formation of this exploratory team, a question Fu Qian never stopped pondering—why these people were here.

They clearly weren’t like him, tasked individuals.𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Simply unlucky victims of an incident involving the Larea family’s new offspring?

This possibility couldn’t be completely ruled out since they did have some connection to the event.

But now, considering the latest mission prompts, Fu Qian believed he had come up with a more plausible explanation—they weren’t victims of the problem; they were its creators.

Their presence here was to contribute a consensus.

Although, in the eyes of others, the journey was full of ups and downs, by Fu Qian’s standards, the whole story had run remarkably smoothly.

Until the new mission emerged.

Disrupt the condensation of the Face of the Divine Human—if indeed, as Mr. Li Sr. had said, the moment that face appeared it had already formed a connection with some higher power, then how could there be condensation?

Their presence here was to experience this step-by-step exploration, ultimately "seeing" this scene and fully aligning with all previous deductions.

Just like how he used them to restore his demigod powers.

It’s likely they were chosen for their ranking, as the team had no less than three high-level extraordinaries.

Even at royal banquets of old, it would’ve been challenging to imagine more demigods attending.

In summary, this unique site before them was guiding them to uncover the true Face of the Divine Human, seemingly on the brink of success.

"Witness its ancient glory... An unforgotten memory, will eventually become reality..."

The next moment, the group, in awe, was suddenly jolted awake.

They looked toward the sound to see that mysterious ancient blood clan member, with unprecedented fervor, repeating something they once said.

And that wasn’t even the main point; the face, which also looked up at the dome, was swiftly changing into another countenance while speaking.

A mesmerizing face, seemingly embodying the very concept of "beauty."
