Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2522 Chao Wen Dao

Its bones are still warm.

With a light leap, he returned to his old spot, and without even touching it, he could feel the faint warmth still emanating from the place where Neferi had once sat.

It is indeed a human skeleton, although it is somewhat incomplete.

Furthermore, judging from the stacked shape, it is vaguely different from the previous etching of wisdom where the hands are clasped around the knees; the posture is more serious.

Given that person's style, even if something they've been wanting for years were right in front of them, they wouldn't act like a child in front of them.

The only relatively intact skull, however, gives the impression of being even more distorted.

It's like the brain inside is heated and expands, causing intracranial pressure to increase to an unbearable level, eventually squeezing everything out of shape.

Of course, at this moment, there are no longer any leaping flames on any of the remains; they only flow on the surface or even inside, which is why they have a "sparkling" appearance.

Perhaps the historical fallacy we just experienced isn't 100% credible, but there's a considerable probability that these are indeed Neferpitou's remains.

"Having heard the Dao in the morning..." She was probably already exploring how to use this place to verify the reality of the world when she first discovered it.

No matter what price needs to be paid.

And indeed, he was content to die here, turning into a pile of white bones.

Furthermore, the reason for the current commotion in Moore's area is now quite clear—

Neferi drew a mad fire from herself, though it ignited herself.

But even as a reflection, the wise dead found it hard to bear, to the point that they were more active than before.

This activity triggered reactions from all sides, including Sorendir, who saw the unusual activity on Moore's side as an opportunity for himself, and the Sirens' actions were also provoked.

This change further triggered a reaction from Yasui, so the greedy insects were brought in as external cannon fodder.

As a result, the greedy insect's movements attracted predators.

Unfortunately, the lack of success with Sorrendir has stalled the entire chain.

The insect didn't move, and the bat couldn't find it either.

Everything only came to a head when someone secretly hitched a ride.

……

The world is bustling with activity, but all I can say is that Lord Sorrendir seems to be a ruthless man.

After quickly "smoothing out" the current situation, Fu Qian uttered a rather unusual exclamation at that moment.

It wasn't because of that person's impressive entourage and the group of people accompanying them as they leveled up, but rather their courage to take risks.

The preceding series of events seems logically sound, but it actually overlooks a crucial point—the sequence of events.

Fu Qian remembered very clearly that Neferi had asked him for that mad flame, and it hadn't even been a few days.

According to Serana and the insects, Sorendir's wandering began much earlier than that.

This alone is enough to undermine the entire logical chain.

The beginning of this series of events does not seem to be Nepheli's pursuit of the truth.
In other words, Sorendir likely launched this operation even when the Wise Dead were not very active and there was no opportunity for them to level up.

He was the initial driving force, but he seemed to have some good luck and later really benefited from Lady Neferi's influence.

As for why we must try at this special moment when no opportunity has been found?
The reasons are not yet clear, but this stubbornness is even more extreme than waiting for an opportunity to arise before taking action.

Of course, even with such stubbornness, the time gained was less than five minutes. With a sigh, Fu Qian's gaze had already carefully examined Neferi's remains.

Unfortunately, aside from the fact that the fire will not burn for much longer and the wise deceased will likely settle down soon, it seems that the predecessor had no intention of compiling all his life's knowledge into a secret manual and left no further information.

That makes sense, as mentioned earlier, for Neferito, everything before her eyes might just be an illusion.

Aside from the Great Mandate King who saves all sentient beings, who would be so bored as to leave a message for an NPC who could disappear at any time?
It's a pity, there are still many technical issues I want to discuss with this senior colleague.

Hopefully, she finally got the answer, and that would be enough to make up for her regret.

As for now, it seems I can only rely on myself.

Finally shifting his gaze, Fu Qian took two steps forward and sat down directly next to the skeleton, looking into the distance.

……

Let's start from the beginning.

The academy's exploration team received definite information that the wise dead of Moore could guide people to the Upside-Down Lake, which was likely located in the Ash Sea, and might even know how to use it.

Unfortunately, they knew but couldn't find it, while many years later, Neferi, a younger generation, found it but no longer wanted to know.

Of course, regardless of the regrettable things now, assuming that such a connection really exists, how would it be established?

The answer is that it's hard to judge; one should be realistic.

So, let's look at it another way: why is there such a connection?

On the other side of Upside-Down Lake, the exploration team appears to have discovered an ancient research organization, and that their research is cursed.

Not long ago, while exploring the coordinates in the Ash Sea, he even encountered a research organization in the Wisdom of Etching.

Even when Neferi was asking for fire, she asked herself if it was possible that the academy wasn't the only organization courting death, and that they clearly knew something as well.

Taking all three into account, let's assume that another academy does exist, and that it is related to the so-called Inverted Lake, where a research facility was established in the Ash Sea, which is avoided by all living beings.

So, what could be the reason that there is a miracle creature with the attribute of death in Moore, which contains the method to find a research site?
Compared to the coincidence of sexual appearance, it seems there is a strong sense of human intervention – was it really for the purpose of giving directions?

At one point, Fu turned around and looked at the lighthouse behind him.

……

Indeed, we should return to the basics.

Isn't a lighthouse a classic guiding element?
It doesn't need to be actively created or crafted into miracle creatures.

Just like Nepheli now, it's entirely conceivable that researchers back then would discover wise dead people and then consider how to utilize them.

Even if I remember correctly—

Fu Qian stood up and stepped directly into the lighthouse room to observe the core of the lighthouse.

There really is...

As a symbolic building, isn't it a bit illogical that even the lens part of the lighthouse is reproduced so exquisitely?
That's right, what I thought of before I left was very simple. Normally, besides the light source, there are other key components in a lighthouse.

A lens made of transparent material... although it doesn't look like the crystals I was used to.

He reached out, but before he could crush the object, he wanted to see if it contained what he had imagined.

Instead, a golden, brilliant light emanated from his body, seemingly endless.
