Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2274 Bow and Night

"What did you see when you touched the statue?"

The witch didn't hide her delight at the tacit understanding they displayed at the end.

Even with such a thrilling experience, she didn't waste time on debriefing, but instead went straight to the point.

While inside the corridor, Fu Qian clearly gained something, but to save time, they didn't exchange any information.

The witch was clearly very interested in the discovery that seemed to be related to "mother".

"Remember the Full Moon Garden I mentioned? It was the first place I ever touched that extraordinary place."

Fu Qian had no intention of hiding anything, and pointed to himself as he spoke.

"Did the statue show you that directly?"

The witch was clearly taken aback.

For her, it was naturally easy to figure out the meaning behind it.

Previously, because of the flowers found in this place, I had vaguely guessed that my inspiration as a Templar Knight might be the will of the "Mother". Is this direct proof?
"Yes, and besides the flowers your mother liked, there were many other traces inside, such as a bright white full moon, a half-human, half-wolf monster, and a barefoot doctor you could communicate with..."

He described the scenes in the Full Moon Garden in great detail, as if reciting a familiar story.

"So that garden, in your world?"

After gazing into deep thought for a moment and processing the excitement, the witch quickly came up with a somewhat abrupt statement.

“That’s what I think too. After all, your mother left many traces in that world, and you can’t touch them at all.”

It's clear that the person who paid upfront also believed this was the most likely scenario.

The witch could sense something amiss about the Full Moon Garden, yet she was completely unable to see into its depths.

I've actually seen this kind of exaggerated obscuring and separation not long ago—when it was forcibly brought to the other side.

Despite expending far more effort, almost sacrificing the entire remains of the god, the witch who finally reached the other side described herself as "completely unknowable" to the outside world.

Considering the subsequent leakage of the Other Shore attribute, and even the suspected contamination of her "hometown," one can't help but suspect that the Other Shore's own unique characteristics played a significant role in her ability to descend.

Even the witch herself said that the effect of her descent was far better than she had imagined.

Looking back now, the bookstore world's rejection of her was probably far greater than imagined.

If one were to perform the sacrifice from beyond the other side, it might not have much effect.

In conclusion, a place that is clearly full of lunar elements, yet whose embodiment is the moon, cannot be touched; only this kind of explanation can make sense.

……

"So this bow... was intentionally delivered to you by Him?"

Conspiracy theories are always a fun thing, so much so that once you start, you can't stop.

After receiving Fu Qian's affirmation, the witch continued to think about the issue of the blasphemous embrace.

As she spoke, she even held a shimmering, colorful object in her hand.

Even though it's no longer useful, I still carry it with me...

Before giving the gift, he looked at it carefully.

It was because of this thing that this distant place was not completely cut off from contact after that mission.

After all, judging from the fact that the warehouse directly confiscated the mission items, it's highly likely that they don't plan to assign related missions to me again.

From this perspective, this seemingly useless item, when chosen, actually bears the responsibility of connecting the two worlds.

So what would have happened if I had chosen the other item?

Quietly observing the actions of those in power, Fu Qian couldn't help but recall another item he had abandoned. He could choose whether or not to use a bow; in fact, unless he shot down the sun first, the witch wouldn't be able to find him even if she wanted to.

A demigod ritual... that's far more exaggerated.

The path to divinity, the oath, the corruption... Along this journey, I have seen far too many consequences of choosing the wrong path.

If I hadn't been so confident back then and had chosen that shortcut, it would have looked like I was just doing extra work as a tool in addition to my warehouse duties.

The first Darkmoon Lord may have been a person with a love for flowers, but Fu Qian did not think it would take so much effort to leave such an arrangement out of fun.

"It seems that He is quite familiar with the power behind me, although the specific purpose is still unclear."

The next moment he nodded, agreeing with the witch's idea.

Unlike the Radiant Rainbow, the original Darkmoon's actions, while also targeting warehouses and administrators, were noticeably less hostile.

It doesn't even seem like an arrangement made to "invade" that world; all the arrangements clearly lean more towards this side.

So it's just to find a tool for "offspring"?

The process may have been a bit too convoluted, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After all, this "tool" means that the warehouse's spacetime power can be invoked to a certain extent.

He even got involved in subsequent events such as the reappearance of ancient Lyrden.

“If you hadn’t come, I would have faced my final moment very soon.”

The witch next to her clearly remembered the same thing and continued to compare the scroll in her hand.

"And if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have had the chance to enter the corridor and get this thing."

……

"It's all part of the job, and you've already given me a reward, haven't you?"

The Pope praised him highly, but the person involved, Fu Qian, did not forget his identity as a Knight of the Templars at all and waved his hand naturally.

Although the points the witch mentioned did indeed have a strong sense of plotting.

But to be honest, the core of it all still relies on one's own initiative.

Even if a normal person obtains the Embrace of Blasphemy, whether they would use it as freely as I do feels like a question mark.

Even when the witch stopped responding, it seems that if he hadn't had a lot of savings, he wouldn't have been able to carry out the hurricane rescue.

In this respect, the first Darkmoon had a rather casual and unpredictable style, letting things take their course.

"When I obtained this item, the description of its effect was that it would temporarily seal the sun."

After stating that he had brought this upon himself, Fu Qian abruptly changed the subject, focusing on another issue.

The description of the item "Blasphemy's Embrace" is short, but it is very memorable.

If it is indeed as seen in the Nightmare Corridor, then this belongs to the original Darkmoon's weapon—the Moon Obscuring the Sun?
This scene is far too suggestive.

If I remember correctly, the sign that the long night begins is when the moon and sun stop responding, and then only the stars remain in the sky.

Not long ago, he even went with the Night Watchers and the Primal Council to verify this a thousand years ago.

"You mean... that long night?"

The witch, quick to grasp the subtle meaning behind the music, made a connection, and her conclusion was rather weighty.

"What we know so far is that your mother was indeed more active during that long night."

Fu Qian nodded.
