Ignoring the matter of tier, under what circumstances might one contestant be unable to come, and the other contestant also unable to come?

It sounds strange, but if you think about it carefully, it’s not impossible–for instance, if the second contestant’s leg was broken and they could only be carried.

Of course, this is just a metaphor; not to mention the chances of a Second Phase having their leg broken, even if they were reduced to just a head, I suppose it wouldn’t affect their mobility too much.

In any case, some special reason has made it this way, requiring reliance on another person to act, or even to exist–
Fu Qian suddenly thought of an explanation for why he and Su Gao were being treated differently.

And how the other was able to reduce their presence.

The method of concealment by the hidden figure in the shadows might be quite unusual.

He had previously speculated that the way the other prevented him from detecting them might be by not discovering themselves.

But the idea of fooling oneself, “turning a blind eye”, doesn’t seem plausible if the person is sitting right here, it’s hard to imagine the effect being so pronounced.

Unless it adopts a more abstract method–only sitting in the living room as perceived by Su Gao.

It sounds inconceivable, but Fu Qian had encountered such a situation before–Ya Yu.

This mysterious Demigod of the Native Council had a similar effect upon showing up; he couldn’t detect its presence at all, yet Veheler was clearly able to communicate with it.

At the time, he also had doubts, but because he was busy with the task, he did not delve deeply into it.

Now that he thought about it, Ya Yu’s tier was the same as his own, which almost rules out the possibility of achieving this effect by suppressing with a higher tier.

There must be some special technique involved.

And the one in the living room now, who likely has a connection with the Native Council, masters this technique.

…

From this perspective, it also makes sense why Asao Sakura came–she’s the medium.

If the one in the shadows is likened to a virus, then she is both the host and the medium.

It needs her to “carry” the virus to both him and Su Gao to complete the infection, to appear within Su Gao’s cognition.

This is a way of establishing a connection.

Of course, this does not mean that Asao Sakura is lying; there are far too many hosts that are deceived, even mosquitoes know to secrete saliva to anesthetize the area locally.

Looking at Su Gao, even a Demigod can be deceived now; she is just a Middle Tier Transcendent.

…

The Native Council sure has many tricks up its sleeve!

As thoughts raced, Fu Qian quickly arrived at a very mysterious conjecture.

But this doesn’t seem to be good news.

After all, if the conjecture holds true, this entity looks quite difficult to deal with.

From the current situation, it has no intention of parasitizing him, and even if he cracked open Asao Sakura’s head, it would be of no use.

However, it seems that he is not entirely without options.

Every form has its advantages and disadvantages; this extremely strange disguise has an obvious defect right in front of him–it doesn’t infect him, so he naturally can’t observe it, but it also can’t observe him, let alone influence his cognition.

Under these circumstances, it seems he could consider not being so restrained in his actions.

Also, there are only two people in the room, and the discrimination is too obvious, why doesn’t it infect him?

Fu Qian felt quite indignant for a moment.

Although, last time in Byeluk, his brain had already been spurned once.

…

“Forget it, there’s no need to be too harsh on Miss Asao; after all, some things are not for her to decide.”

Amidst his complaining, Fu Qian first gently rebuked Asao Sakura with a mild tone and then stood up directly.

Asao Sakura, who looked troubled in this situation, thought he was preparing to show her out and stood up as well, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

“`
I won’t have to continue with this arduous task.

“As Ms. Asao just mentioned, today is a friendly chat between friends, please wait a moment while I make some tea,” Fu Qian said.

However, what she didn’t expect was for Darcy, who appeared to have a nasty disposition, to have a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change in tone the next moment.

“No need…”

Faced with this sudden change, Asao Sakura instinctively replied politely, but the other party was unyielding, and already looking at Su Gao.

“My skills might be average, so if I can’t manage later, follow and help out.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Su Gao hesitating for a moment before nodding in understanding, Fu Qian didn’t say more and directly turned to head to the tea room.

Isn’t this attitude a bit too arrogant? The person opposite is a peak Fourth Phase Transcendent, a definite high-tier even in Emperor Yasui’s domain.

What’s this guy’s background?

Under these circumstances, clearly, she couldn’t just walk away now. As Asao Sakura sat down again, expressing her sincere shock, she felt somewhat helpless.

Only two people were left in the living room. Violetta, sitting across her, remained silent, her gaze even more ethereal and translucent than before, exuding an inexplicable oppressive force that made Sakura very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Asao Sakura felt that the previous version of Violetta was a bit more endearing.

Within just two seconds, she began to think that maybe she should go and offer her help.

…

This distance should be about right.

Having arrived in the tea room, Fu Qian, while casually picking up another teapot, thought to himself.

Based on his earlier guess, that thing should have no sensing ability towards his actions, but just to be safe, he had intentionally moved a bit farther away.

Now, it seemed, he could be a bit more reckless in his operation.

The next moment, Fu Qian’s fingers moved not to the Pseudo-Divine Being ring, but to another one–the Clear Dream Ring.

You’re looking down on me, huh? Get ready to witness the unfolding of my domain!

Prepare to capture the entity!

In a flare of light, the upgraded Nightmare, said to trouble even Divine Beings, instantly enshrouded the entire building.

Within the Clear Dream Ring, Fu Qian naturally exerted a suppressive force over others.

With the mask added to his attire, Fu Qian didn’t believe he would be at a disadvantage in terms of ranking.

The only problem was how to involve that particular individual.

Although the introduction made it sound overwhelmingly powerful, as it stood, it was not stable enough to draw a Demigod into it.

Thus the earlier instruction to Su Gao.

It was to tell her that there might be something unusual happening later, and to remember to follow along.

And judging by her reaction, she clearly understood–truly understood!

At this moment, as the master of the dream, Fu Qian had a complete grasp over changes within the entire dreamscape.

Asao Sakura found herself almost instantly integrated into it, while Su Gao noticeably sensed something odd and instinctively resisted.

However, she then seemed to recall Fu Qian’s words, relaxed her resistance, and began to embrace the expanding dreamscape actively, the process incredibly smooth.

Not bad at all.

Feeling Su Gao’s presence become increasingly stable within the dream, Fu Qian was, for the moment, very satisfied.

After gathering the rest of the tea set, he returned along the same path.

In the same living room, Su Gao and Asao Sakura sat facing each other, exactly as before.

However, compared to when he left, there was an additional figure visible in Fu Qian’s perspective, sitting on the chair beside them, smiling radiantly at the two.

…Emperor Yasui is a woman?
