Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2281 The Essence of Containers
It's quite interesting that Eckerhardt is actually an apostle of the "Sun".

After all, one of the reasons Fu Qian sought out this name was to find the former ruler of Elysium, the Lord of Heaven.

At the end of that mission involving one heaven after another, the warehouse clearly concluded that the summit of heaven was indeed empty, but heaven did not need a new master.

It can be said that this is almost a definitive confirmation that the former ruler of Heaven has truly fallen.

Based on the new information brought by the chief, is the "Sun" the former ruler of Heaven?

Although they are indeed concepts that are relatively easy to connect, they still give people a sense of glimpsing the secrets of the world.

Especially considering that the "sun" has indeed already fallen, and this is an official confirmation from the Night Watchers, the combination of the two is too much of a coincidence.

So much so that when Yuan Shan gave this title, Fu Qian was already inclined to approve of it.

Although he still raised questions, he used their shared past experiences as a basis.

When Ariel caused trouble in the capital, his supernova-like divine intervention not only turned old man Logan into a mollusk, but also drained dozens of his own sanity points, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

"That's what I asked too, since the sun still looks quite active."

This question was so reasonable that Yuan Shan immediately agreed.

"The teacher's answer was that the gods are dead, and there is no absolute relationship between that and the descent of the divine messenger. There is a deeper reason why the second-tier is called the divine messenger."

Although her explanation was somewhat unbelievable.

"Death doesn't delay your rebirth? What were we seeing back then?"

How could he possibly miss the knowledge coming from a former high-ranking night watchman? He readily expressed his curiosity.

"It is the sun, but not the 'Wheel that cannot be looked at directly.' The will represented by the latter name has completely dissipated without leaving a trace."

It's clear that Yuan Shan doesn't usually pay much attention to theoretical learning, as her responses sounded very much like repetitions.

They didn't even try to hide the lingering shock this information had on them until now.

"But this divine path still exists, and its transformation into a vessel corresponding to the true god is the core essence of the divine messenger's form..."

……

Is the core essence of the divine messenger a vessel corresponding to the true god? Interesting.

The importance of prior knowledge was fully demonstrated at this moment. While Yuan Shan's information was extremely impactful, it didn't prevent Fu Qian from making any connections.

For a long time, deities have become more like a concept, a symbol of authority.

During one of the scientific expeditions, the dean of the Tianqi Academy once said something like this.

When he first entered the Bone Spirit Realm and commented on the pure beings he knew in the Spirit Ash Courtyard, he realized they were essentially a bunch of maggots. Cast strongly agreed and emphasized this point.

Admittedly, the purpose at the time was to demonstrate that a single new god might not be enough to give rise to such a large ecosystem.

But this impressive statement is quite fitting in light of the information Yuan Shan provided at this moment.

The supreme being whose name was "The Wheel That Cannot Be Looked At" is dead, but that does not mean that the concept of the sun has also disappeared.

"Just because a seat is empty doesn't mean it's gone?"

He nodded slightly and then gave an example.

"...a very vivid metaphor."

It was clear that after engaging in illegal activities together multiple times, Yuan Shan had severely overestimated the consultant's comprehension, so much so that the fact that the consultant wasn't particularly surprised by her statement didn't surprise her either. However, the response he gave afterward left her speechless once again, pausing for a moment before commenting.

"It is certain that the deity is at the top of the hierarchy, but He does not represent the divine path itself..."

"Even if it completely perishes, its power shatters into pieces, and such a core of power no longer exists, it will not affect the essence of the divine messenger—because the path is still there, and whether there are people on the path is not important."

"Hmm... the old man's analogy is more vivid."

The last sentence almost conjures up the image of Mr. Henry's serious expression, and Fu Qian also expressed his admiration.

The road is still there; whether or not someone is sitting at the end is not important.

"Then what the divine messenger reveals is the destination itself, not the person occupying it?"

Based on this, he easily understood what Yuan Shan wanted to express.

“That’s right… In fact, if there really is someone in that position, His will might actually affect that.”

Nodding, Yuan Shan gestured to show her own eyes and Fu Qian's eyes.

"I really don't know whether we were lucky or unlucky back then. The power that descended upon Ariel didn't know what it meant to control its influence."

……

It is indeed an interesting fate, and the path to godhood is truly wondrous.

As the chief remarked, Fu Qian naturally reviewed the raid, including the scene of Lord Logan's defeat.

Although it may sound unbelievable at first glance, as a veteran Night Watcher and the cat of Lord Radiant Rainbow, Mr. Henry's words are still credible.

At this point, the previous questions can be said to have been fully answered.

Even though the sun in history is dead, Ariel can still descend as a god because he reflects the end point, not the person who carves their name at the end point.

Even if the sun god from the mythological era were still alive, it might actually affect the effect, because it would incorporate an additional element of His personal will.

Whether mapping is allowed, to what extent it can be mapped, or whether interest can be collected incidentally...

Having been a believer myself for a while, I have some feelings about similar situations.

As for Ariel at that time, since the corresponding "He" was no longer there, the radiance it reflected was not diminished much.

In that case, we can't blame old man Logan for not being helpful.

"I understand, but a demigod can't do that, right? Is it because the divine messenger is closer to the end?"

Feeling that today's gains have been substantial, I'll double-check before making the payment.

"Yes, only divine messengers can do it. Perhaps those of lower rank are too fragile, or perhaps they have no chance to glimpse the end. In any case, the teacher said there are no such examples."

Yuan Shan spoke with certainty and answered all her questions without reservation.

"It seems like you've suddenly lost your ambition?"

Although Fu Qian had a lot of dealings with her, he still keenly sensed certain emotions in her and politely asked her a question.

"I used to think that the path to transcendence was too fast and wouldn't be achieved quickly, so I never asked my teacher too many questions about the second tier or higher..."

Yuan Shan let out a soft breath, clearly not expecting to escape the eyes of the poison master.

"Now it seems that this is not a good thing either."
