Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2368 Silk and Trees

No wonder people say fear stems from insufficient firepower; this must be the legendary physical way of exorcising inner demons.
At that moment, Fu Qian was quite certain that the mushroom world he had just seen was gone, and the poisoning had been violently cured.

But this bold and reckless act did not bring him any sense of accomplishment; it only made him frown for a moment.

It was a grand affair, with bizarre methods, and even two sword saints leading the way. When the atmosphere was built to its limit, you told me it was over.

The strategy behind this operation has always been clear: the more toxic, the better, until they had a face-to-face exchange with the Emperor of Fungi.

To achieve this goal, he didn't even use any antidote methods like the Edict of Return.

Is this the result?

As mentioned earlier, this ability to perceive gave me the initiative in this confrontation.

Therefore, the original plan was to be able to see more of them.

Even in the final confrontation, I truly felt the genuine power of those in power.

In the next instant, the source of power vanished completely, leaving no trace—just like Melia.

As she turned her gaze away from the starry sky, what came to mind was the face of Master Yuhun, who was giving her earnest teachings.

……

There was no Melia at all.

His name, His symbol, His emblem, His authority all exist, but He is not in history.

The words of Master Yuhun about that mysterious superior are truly unforgettable.

He even had to admit that this information did indeed deliver the mental shock he wanted—a sense of doubt about the reality of the world.

When you first hear it, you might think of it as the delusions of a fanatic.

So now, it seems I've encountered more than one idea that resonates with this kind of wild fantasy—

For example, Lady Neferi seems to be quite insistent that the apocalypse nineteen years ago was real.

Even the Radiant Rainbow signifies that the nights and nightmares are far too long.

The world may not be his distracting thoughts, but it also seems unreal.

Most surprisingly, it seems that another case has indeed emerged, with a special circumstance similar to that of Melia, whom he described.

……

Even without any gains, there is still a kind of gain, as has been emphasized more than once.

This attempt may not have allowed us to witness the supreme majesty of the Fungal Emperor, but with a little thought, we can see the consistency between that "He" and the Lord Melia mentioned by the Jade Soul.

The two mushroom-like kendo saints are undoubtedly an astonishing display of authority.

The "truth of the world" revealed when the surface is torn away, and the subsequent punishment when it is completely shattered by oneself, make people believe that there is indeed a source of power behind it all.

Incredibly, in just a moment, the source of this power vanished without a trace.

If Master Yuhun were to see this, his Dao heart would surely be solidified by another five percent.

Wait a minute—Isn't Master Yuhun currently dealing with his own inner demons? So theoretically, "he" has indeed seen them.

Of course, inner demons are just that—inner demons. They might offer some inspiration, but they can never shake my resolve and grand aspirations for the Dao.

With a cold snort, he toyed with the metal cylinder in his hand and pulled it out again.

……

The flesh and blood of Kalaudora, which I just asked Professor Lisa to apply for.

Considering the origin of mushrooms, this is something that cannot be ignored if one wants to think about the essence of the fungal emperor.

Therefore, it is known to be flesh and blood afflicted by a special curse, which also endows it with divinity, allowing it to assimilate almost any type of supernatural being. Then, through its union with the swarm, it maintained a delicate balance, ultimately resulting in the miraculous transformation from insect to mushroom.

To summarize, there's the all-encompassing divinity, other life forms hidden within the swarm... and the academy, this auspicious place.

Don't forget the last one.

It seems that this testing site was a fundamental prerequisite for the manifestation of the power of the Fungal Emperor.

And just now, through argumentation, we've connected this place with the name Melia...

Are they the same person?
Blinking, Fu Qian came up with a very unrestrained guess at one moment.

Compared to questioning whether the whole world is problematic, considering that the problem lies with a single individual is clearly a more reasonable and scientific approach.

The goddess of snow trees is also the emperor of fungi. It may sound too outrageous, and there is no clear evidence, but in Fu Qian's opinion, it is a victory of logic.

As for those in positions of power, I've seen quite a few so far, with all sorts of different states, and there are even players who seem to be a combination of three. So what's so incredible about that?
Instead of attributing the shared anomalies of the Fungal Emperor and the Snow Tree Goddess to an extreme conspiracy theory about the world.

"They are the same because they are originally one." Wouldn't it be simpler to think about it this way?

……

He was certainly the king of those who abandoned prisons, but he was also an academic leader.

Academics must adhere to logic, otherwise they will become charlatans.

Darkness swept past, and there was no longer any repulsive force to stop us from moving forward, and the conclusion we reached was drawn smoothly.

As mentioned before, there is still a lack of evidence, but that doesn't prevent the logic from being sound for the time being. In short, those few blows weren't in vain.

I just confirmed that the intense confrontation did not seem to have any significant impact on the surrounding area.

But at the same time, the injuries he suffered were real, and the discomfort of losing his head was still there.

In short, subsequent investigations involving Melia can be used to try and prove this conjecture.

Besides, the chief's teacher, Mr. Henry, seemed to know something.

Not only did he give her that Melia flower ball, but he also strictly forbade her from asking too many questions, feeling that he could find an opportunity to talk to her more.

As for why he was so interested in Melia?

Of course, it's not just because of Master Yuhun; don't forget the apocalypse we witnessed.

If I remember correctly, the breakthrough point used by the Mother of the Gospel who broke through the barrier was the miracle launched by "Nephilim"—Meria's resurrection.

Besides the Snow Tree Goddess, the Invisible Ones... the concept of the Origin of the Apocalypse seems even more extraordinary.

In any case, His Excellency Melia is a special figure in this world.

From this perspective, today's overtime work can be considered quite fruitful.

Even regarding Professor Akai's matter.

That's right, Fu Qian never forgot this point, and a certain coincidence was hard to ignore, such as the fact that the other person also seemed to have disappeared.

Like the Snow Tree Goddess and the Fungal Emperor.

They even disappeared during a study on "divine stories".

squeak!
The scene he saw in the office flashed through his mind, and Fu Qian reached out and pushed open the door in front of him.

"Professor Fu, you're back."

The round trip didn't take long, but only Wen Li was sitting there deep in thought behind the laboratory door. She turned around immediately upon hearing the sound.
