Chapter 639: Chapter 639 That Day_1 Chapter 639: Chapter 639 That Day_1 Again… another three strategies?

Even in such a serious moment, as Fu Qian twisted his nonexistent beard and spoke, Yuan Shan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

“Let’s hear them.”

“The worst strategy is simple, refuse Gulad’s sincerity, and kill this newly ascended Divine Envoy right here, given that the Night Watchman’s code of conduct is supreme and should not be desecrated.”

Completely indifferent to Ember’s suddenly soaring killing intent, Fu Qian offered his advice there and then.

“However, the problem with this approach is that, even though there’s no need for chivalry against such Evil Demons, a justified beating is possible.”

“But after all, he’s a Second Phase Transcendent, and he has the advantage of time, place, and unity; it’s highly likely that he will escape, and it might even cause innocent casualties.”

…

Yuan Shan clearly agreed with Fu Qian’s analysis regarding escape.

Even now, with three demigods on our side, whether we can capture Ember if he is determined to flee is a fifty-fifty chance, not to mention it would be no small commotion.

As a matter of fact, the last worst strategy was also to kill Ember, if I had accepted back then…

After reminiscing for just half a second, Yuan Shan banished the thoughts from his mind.

Such hypotheticals were meaningless now.

All because this man’s ascension was unreasonably fast.

“What about the middle strategy?”

“The middle strategy is even simpler.”

Fu Qian pointed at the beleaguered Selana whose recovery ability as a member of the Bloodline Clan was strong, but it was clear that she had been suppressed and was still full of wounds at that point.

“There’s no problem with the suggestion from the newly ascended Divine Envoy itself, just accept it directly.”

“Sacrifice her, and then everything returns to normal, the sun rises as usual tomorrow, and no one else gets hurt.”

“And Ember, consistent as ever, finally shatters the Void, becoming an anecdote of the time.”

“Every word I just said was a promise.”

Ember, originally brimming with a murderous aura, did not expect Fu Qian to analyze so objectively, and quickly softened his stance, emphasizing to Yuan Shan with utmost seriousness.

“And the best strategy?”

Yet Yuan Shan gave no response to this, only continuing to ask with a cold face.

“The best strategy is of great importance and cannot be decided on the spot; we must ask for higher authority. Meanwhile, we must do our utmost to control the situation and ensure the safety of the people.”

…

Upon the mention of the best strategy, not only did Yuan Shan and Ember both fall silent, even the bleeding and struggling Selana couldn’t help but look over.

“Of course, under normal circumstances, the newly ascended Second Phase definitely wouldn’t accept.”

Fu Qian, not concerned at all, pointed at Ember.

“His prior performances were based on the fact that you were temporarily unable to handle him.”

“What he wants is your promise, and once you give it, he will spread the good news as quickly as possible, thereby obtaining a form of secure approval.”

“Once the Night Watchman becomes stronger, capable of pressing him down without risk, he will not believe that negotiations under those circumstances are trustworthy; so if you choose this, he will definitely still flee, and there’s a high chance he’ll succeed.”

…

Listening to this, Ember stopped himself from speaking further, as it was evident that Fu Qian’s deductions were spot on.

“So what’s the difference between this best strategy and the worst one?”

Despite the given precedents which have made Yuan Shan skeptical of the best strategy, she couldn’t help but ask due to the sheer absurdity of it all.

“Of course there is a difference, when one is in their position, they are constrained. You’ve done all you could, no one can blame you.”

“It’s not that we are not striving; it’s just that the enemy has Gundams.”

…

“Chief Yuan, Mr. Fang is a reasonable man; please do consider carefully.”

Yuan Shan was still silent while Ember had already made his stance clear on the side.

Regardless, faced with such a tightrope situation, there was still mental pressure.

And in Yuan Shan’s silence, the heavily injured Selana seemed to give up struggling, her blood-stained eyes looking towards Ember.

“You just said you received the Ancestor’s revelation?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

To Selana, Ember was clearly unconcerned about how she thought. Hearing her question now, he simply responded as if it were a matter of course.

“For the Bloodline Clan, the Ancestor’s will is the path to godhood itself, and now I have advanced even further.”

“You probably have never experienced that feeling. In just an instant, I knew I had been acknowledged, the Ancestor shared His authority with me.”

“Of course, as for the power of authority, you have indeed experienced it personally.”

“…I really don’t understand!”

At Ember’s mockery, Selana just let out a low chuckle.

“I also sought the Ancestor’s revelation for many long years–”
“But He did not choose you, and there was no response at all, was there?”

Ember interrupted her.

“Including the revelation of the opportunity in Shangjing, it also appeared within my will, and the Night of Nights, these you cannot refute.”

“And when I came to Shangjing to arrange all this, the Ancestor’s will showed itself twice in a row, which you saw with your own eyes.”

“Ultimately, on this night, I have received the Ancestor’s acknowledgement, an indisputable fact.”

“Indisputable, you say…”

Selana muttered to herself, but subconsciously looked towards Fu Qian.

It was obvious that she was deeply impressed by that sentence in the notes.

The Ancestor had fallen, and the contradiction between that and the scene before her was the real reason for her confusion.

Fu Qian felt a pang of sentiment in his heart.

“Speaking of Lord Ember, may I inquire about a minor question?”

Next moment, he looked seriously at Ember.

“What do you want to ask?”

The latter was almost instantly on guard.

Although it was their first meeting, Ember clearly did not dare to take Fu Qian’s style lightly.

“It’s simple. When was the first time you received the Ancestor’s revelation?”

…

Ember never expected Fu Qian to be interested in this, and after a moment’s hesitation, felt that at this sensitive time, it was best to show a willing attitude to cooperate.

“Three months ago.”

“Can you be more precise?”

“That’s as precise as it gets. On the full moon, three months ago, just like today.”

Ember’s tone was very certain.

“…All right.”

Feeling the increasingly intense mutterings in his ears, Fu Qian sighed, turned around, and asked.

“Of the three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, I wonder what Chief Yuan’s decision will be?”

…

This question successfully focused all eyes on the troubled face of Chief Yuan.

And he, living up to expectations, after a fierce inner struggle, finally took a deep breath.

“I’m sorry, this time I choose the lower strategy.”

All knowledge is learning, and Chief Yuan still has much to learn in the craft of authority!

Amidst the sounds of approval, Fu Qian locked onto the instantly alert Ember.

However, in his mind, the words the man had just spoken echoed.

Three months ago today.

That was the first time he had used the mask to synchronize with this world, this Shangjing.
