Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Revelation_1 Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Revelation_1 You think you’re helping me? Hell no!
Fu Qian’s comment didn’t just leave Ember dumbfounded, even Yuan Shan seemed to have a frantic look on her face after realizing what was going on.
What time do you think it is to still be spouting nonsense!
“Ember?”
But knowing Fu Qian’s style too well, she didn’t attempt to correct him. Instead, she stared directly at that three-meter-tall mass and asked through gritted teeth.
“Chief Yuan…”
Ember seemed to want to shift quickly away from that topic, which he didn’t know how to respond to, and replied quite briskly.
“I apologize for meeting you in this form. I am–very honored.”
His tone underwent a rapid change, starting off apologetic but ending with a hint of laughter.
“But, you can see that I am in a very bad mood.”
Although Yuan Shan didn’t refuse to communicate verbally, her aura of murderous intent was clearly still boiling.
“You need to explain what is going on here.”
“Of course… of course!”
Ember let out another string of deep chuckles.
“But there are some things that need to be taken care of before that.”
As he spoke, he took a step forward and took a deep breath.
Like a whirlwind sweeping through, the residual sludge that had been mostly purified by the Decree Residue gathered entirely onto him.
The struggling crowd instantly quieted down en masse, their bodies slumped over, scattering across the ground in disarray.
It wasn’t over yet; with another snap of Ember’s fingers, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The red moonlight that had enveloped the surroundings magically began to retract, eventually remaining only within the confines of this courtyard.
“This is much better.”
Having done all this, Ember looked through the fence and continued to watch Yuan Shan.
“I had heard from Grantham that Chief Yuan intended to visit me.”
“While it’s earlier than planned, if you don’t mind… please come in.”
Faced with Ember’s cordial invitation, Yuan Shan subconsciously glanced around.
The collapsed crowd mostly breathed steadily, clearly having escaped that strange state, looking as if they were just sleeping normally.
Even the one who had torn his throat, Grantham promptly went to treat him, apparently out of danger.
That night seemed to have become calm in an instant.
With a slightly clearer expression, Yuan Shan didn’t reject Ember’s invitation, took a step forward, and once again stepped into the red moonlight.
“Mr. Fang, Miss Su.”
Ember then turned his head to appraise Fu Qian and Su Gao next to him, his tone undisguisedly wistful.
“Such admirable young souls, if you don’t mind, please join me as well.”
That choice of words, that presence, truly befitting of a Second Phase.
In response to Ember’s praise, Fu Qian felt a pang of emotion.
He and Su Gao might be excessively young, but it was hard to imagine a demigod, nearly a thousand years old, making such a compliment with composure and equanimity.
Generally, those who can comfortably express their wonder at their own age in front of the young have advantages that come with their years.
In the light of the Red Moon, this figure, bathed in a glimmering blood light, was indeed very peculiar, its appearance dazzling and intoxicating, clearly no ordinary being.
With his emotions acknowledged, Fu Qian readily followed Chief Yuan’s lead, and Su Gao did the same.
“Welcome.”
Seeing his three guests, Ember looked quite pleased with himself, walking ahead to open the door first.
The inside of the house was not as worn as it appeared from the outside, but with its candelabras and long tables, the overall decor was quite classical.
He took a seat in a high-backed chair before anyone else.
“I apologize for the hasty arrangement; I might only have red wine to offer you. Does anyone have any–”
“You have one minute.”
However, Yuan Shan was not at all appreciative and cut him off abruptly.
“One minute?”
The dark, deep eyes stared at Yuan Shan, and the next moment, Ember’s throat let out a low chuckle again.
“No need, half a minute will do.”
“Before the full moon, this city had a group of gentlemen indulging in enjoyment.”
“And a Demigod who had lived through many years.”
Ember pointed at himself.
“And at this very moment, the gentlemen are so tired that they have fallen asleep, while a few have sustained minor injuries.”
“And the world now has one more Divine Envoy.”
“All things considered, what a wonderful night it has been, hasn’t it?”
“Heh, that sounds quite nice, but should we not take a moment to recall the specifics of the process?”
Yuan Shan sneered.
“Of course… Not every moment of it was so wonderful, such as the unreasonable circulation of certain illicit potions, which is a very serious and unforgivable mistake.”
Ember spoke with utmost sincerity.
“So, Gulad is willing to accept any punishment for this.”
“Is that so, Grantham?”
Ignoring Ember, Yuan Shan asked the Grantham, who had just entered the room and was in charge of Shangjing’s affairs.
From the noises coming from outside, it appeared that other members of the Bloodline Clan had arrived to look after the crowd in his stead.
“We… indeed have had a major oversight in management.”
Facing Yuan Shan’s interrogation, Grantham looked at Ember for a few seconds before finally speaking.
Because of Ember’s incredibly smooth advancement, he decisively aligned himself with the family’s stance, backing them up.
Fu Qian was not at all surprised by his reaction.
The significance of a Divine Envoy to a Transcendent group was, without a doubt, quite exaggerated.
Especially for a Bloodline Clan with a strong hierarchical suppression.
Everyone is out in the world, and switching sides like this was considered a basic maneuver.
“There have been many surprises lately.”
Seeing that Yuan Shan remained silent for the moment, Ember continued.
“But please believe, the Bloodline Clan never had the intention of causing deliberate harm.”
“It’s been so long, you can’t imagine how much we yearn for the Ancestral Revelation.”
Extending his hand to the window, catching the moonlight streaming in, Ember’s tone was calm, yet it was suffused with an ineffable enthusiasm.
“It is your yearning for the Ancestral Revelation, isn’t it?”
Yuan Shan huffed.
“The same, as Gulad’s sole Divine Envoy, my will is the will of everyone.”
Ember didn’t hide his meaning in his words, and Grantham merely lowered his head in acquiescence, no longer daring to meet his gaze.
…
Yuan Shan was silent for a while.
Ember’s actions had undoubtedly severely violated the rules; by convention, he could be executed summarily without issue.
However, through the gains of the adventure, he had successfully bound the entire clan to his cause.
As he had just said, his transformation into a Divine Envoy mattered far beyond just an increase in combat prowess for Gulad.
For the Bloodline Clan, a higher station meant being closer to the Ancestors, more approved by them.
In such a situation, regardless of how one originally felt about him, one would likely not hesitate to stand by his side.

Would one really exterminate Gulad over this matter?
“What do you think, Chief Yuan? Gulad hopes to earn your approval.”
Ember was clearly very pleased with the current situation, choosing to press the question further.
“Sorry to interrupt, but you just received the Ancestral Revelation – what did It tell you?”
Amidst the tug of war, it was Fu Qian who suddenly asked a question.
