Chapter 1784: Chapter 1779: Harvest and Aftermath
Could there be a connection, or is it just a simple coincidence?
This question Su Gao had could also be applied to his own Mechanical Tyrant.
This journey indeed brought quite a few unexpected gains.
After a final self-check, Fu Qian canceled the Mythical Form, and the umbilical cord in his hand had long been discarded.
Failing to explore the Mental World earlier, he later intended to check if visiting the Bone Burial Ground as an Ancient Supreme would trigger special reactions.
After discovering the extra targeting from the "Tide," the high-risk decision he made ultimately yielded returns proportional to the risk taken.
The last visited place was noticeably different from other "bubbles."
The warning from the Red Moon and the parasitic attack he suffered proved its danger, yet unlike other wreckages, that place seemed visibly better.
Not only could the "Tide" not penetrate, but there were even dedicated Guards.
And prisoners with a normal mindset.
If the person in that prison was truly the Night Watchman, this arrangement alone reflects their seriousness.
Previously visited Blood Lake only had bugs as an alarm system there.
Liliyana’s Senior’s hiding place was even directly ignored.
But in this place, firstly, a high-level Extraordinary is very likely detained there for years.
Secondly, he was parasitized after just being there for a short while; how could this prisoner withstand it for so long?
He might even be self-sacrificing, staying there as a guardian with no way out.
The chopped-off arm of the opponent could automatically regenerate, just like those Guards, proving this to some extent.
It is possible that had he stayed longer or not managed to find and eliminate the abnormalities from a Godly Perspective after leaving, he would soon gain similar abilities.
And bear the corresponding costs.
...
As for why he activated the Mythical Form only after leaving?
More harm than good.
If he hadn’t discovered the special prisoner inside, Fu Qian wouldn’t have minded directly transforming into a Mythical Form to feel the place’s essence.
However, with a suspicious contact emerging, misleading the White-faced Man and Golden Flame with a certain possibility of reaching the Night Watchman, he decisively abandoned the idea.
Instead, choosing to use the subtle signs of Ancient Power revival, he induced the Night Watchman to assist in investigating the Abandonment King.
For instance, urging Old Master Stoss to visit the Academy sooner.
If pushed too far, with the old Deities reviving and roaming freely, the Night Watchman’s reaction to ancient gods might be extraordinarily intense.
By then, those visiting the Academy likely won’t come for academic exchange; rather, they would seize anyone related and instantly refine them irrespective of innocence.
As often emphasized, gauging the scale is always a technical skill.
As for why not purge the parasite on the Half-step Moon but specifically return to the warehouse?
Realizing the anomaly on himself, ignoring Red Moon’s objections and venturing deeper into exploration, Fu Qian considered the Mythical Form as a fallback.
Even if he couldn’t ultimately uncover the truth under the "Coating," upon returning, he would certainly use the Abandonment King’s perspective for a thorough self-check.
Though using the Half-step Moon as an operation site was feasible, perhaps the Red Moon could even assist.
But, on one hand, even the Red Moon felt the place was dangerous, and her condition wasn’t optimal either.
If he carried such danger to her, or the rank of the Abandonment King provoked some stimulation, it wouldn’t be beneficial for Red Moon.
It’s okay to be a reckless kid, but it’s best to take responsibility for one’s own matters.
...
Returning to the laboratory, as the exploration concluded, Fu Qian’s physical repair work was almost complete.
Moreover, to avoid any extreme behavior from the Red Moon, after changing clothes at home, he went to the Half-step Moon for the long repair process.
Placing this step under Red Moon’s scrutiny, confirming twice nothing was amiss, and ensuring her condition was stable, Fu Qian was very relieved with the result.
Though Su Gao’s condition inevitably led to some imagination.
The night sky outside was still dim, as Fu Qian sat on the snakeskin seat, observing the faint starlight, recalling the puppet he pulled out last.
Essentially, it was a remnant of parasitic power.
The key to self-purification was relying on the Godly Perspective of the Abandonment King to find the additional abnormalities on him.
If only at Second Phase level, this parasite would be almost unsolvable for him.
Including intentionally waiting in the Tide before returning to the Half-step Moon, to maximize confirmation of bodily changes under damage, facilitating comparisons after activating the Mythical Form.
In conclusion, creating various conditions along the way, successfully locking onto the danger, and using Calamity Authority to destroy it, the power finally manifested as a Fallen puppet.
The form of this remnant, to some extent, explains why it resonated with the umbilical cord in his hand—Dorian.
If the umbilical cord is a mixture of superior powers re-embodied by Akons, then determining which one corresponds to the "bubble" is naturally a question to ponder.
Yet, the exploration so far, including the strange phenomena under the final flames, offered no clues to this mystery.
Only the last item in hand inevitably reminded him of the Akons’ divine physician.
Transforming outsiders into puppets, previously curious about this obviously transcendent method, shouldn’t just materialize out of thin air.
If true, it makes much more sense.
Besides, the puppet’s similar color evokes memories of Madam Madeline sitting on Su Gao’s shoulder in the Rotten Forest, and also in Xi Yuan, where she similarly gazed outside the window, nearly losing human aura.
Su Gao’s initial transcendent transformation might relate to these elements.
Unfortunately, there seems currently no adequate way to actively confirm this.
Taking her there?
Disregarding whether it can escape the Night Watchman’s attention, given Su Gao’s unique physique, confronting the demons and monsters might induce unknown changes in direct encounters at the Demigod Tier.
Fortunately, though actively resolving this is challenging, a passive method remains—observing the Night Watchman’s upcoming attitude.
With confidence in that place, as evident in his comprehension of Su Gao’s abilities, if a link truly exists, certain special actions might surface.
"Morning, Professor Fu."
As his silent pondering continued, the silence before dawn was already broken.
Miss Liushuang greeted naturally while descending the stairs.
