Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Meeting Myself Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Meeting Myself Ding… Ding…

The crisp sound echoed in the darkness.

Fu Qian gently tapped the table with his left hand, each tap causing his bare palm to sprout a finger.

Patterns, spikes, scales, grooves–the shape of the fingers was unstable, and the skin on them changed like a revolving lantern.

Fu Qian, however, was indifferent to this. After returning to the warehouse and realizing that his Mythical Form had dissolved, he chose the most comfortable position to lean back in his chair and listened to the prompts ringing by his ear.

[Mission Evaluation: Pseudo-God]
[You, in the form of a demigod, exercised the authority of Divine Beings, sentencing a new divine being to guilt, and stripping away Their power.

This incredible paradox is, however, a flawed ritual. Authority became clearer before you, and a path to a divine tier, previously unreachable, is now attainable.

And in the subsequent isolation of self, you clung to this absurdity.]
[Special Achievement: Meeting Self]
[Even though the Red Moon that has always observed you had already woven a path to divinity for you,
your self-isolation gave you the right to choose.

And the ultimate special choice allowed you to share authority in an almost erroneous manner.

Not as a Messenger of authority, but as a false god.

You embarked on a divine path that shouldn’t exist, a misdirection in every sense of the word–it might have an endpoint, but the only guide you have is yourself.]
[Special Reward: Complete Pseudo-God Ritual]
[Your ascension ritual is now complete, having woven your own path to godhood.

Even though the Divine Trait that matches it did not exist in the world before,
due to your existence, it will soon arise.

Following this special connection between you, find and integrate it into yourself, and you will formally achieve sublimation, becoming a special existence different from a Divine Envoy.

Due to the early anchoring to a divine rank, you have gained divine-level Insight, and after devouring a target, you can permanently acquire corresponding extraordinary powers or authority.]
So, the Second Phase title is simply “Pseudo-God”?

According to this theory, is this forcefully forging a path to godhood?

Now it’s just completing the ritual. Do I need to find the Divine Trait and integrate it before I can officially become Second Phase?

Also, because I chose to believe in myself, did Insight directly gain a divine-level boost, not only becoming permanent but even capable of gaining authority?

There must be some limit, right? Otherwise, it’s too exaggerated!

Additionally, the presence of the Bandit Scholar is growing stronger!

After carefully listening, Fu Qian summarized briefly and nodded his head.

The warehouse hadn’t disappointed him.

…

In the bizarre and chaotic Supernatural World, as a violent trial-and-error without any guidance, this was almost the second-best result.

The previous speculation must be correct, the warehouse, due to its state, couldn’t provide direct guidance, but it could still passively couple judgments.

For example, the warehouse is like a teacher with amnesia, no longer able to instruct how to solve problems, but if you get it right, he can still review it afterward, tell you the answer is correct, and define you as passing.

Thinking back, there were signs of this when I was promoted to demigod, but although the warehouse did not make it explicit, it felt like it could still help a bit; designing quests, creating opportunities.

Now, a step further in this situation, it can only “congratulate you for getting it right.”

…

Furthermore, according to the summary, the ritual could be completed because the key point could be summarized in one sentence–defeating Yasui Tokiyuki with a divine rank.

As for the ultimate choice, it likely only involved optional paths.

And it seems, without choosing oneself, the likelihood was accepting the call of the Red Moon, especially since “it had already woven the path to godhood.”

Impressive, even completely isolated, merely by a contamination, it could still influence to this extent.

This once again proved that the warehouse was indeed in poor condition, as the Red Moon could lead me astray–it’s clear that even under the Original Sin Sage’s state, I had other options.

Being a presence with a clearly not low ranking, what the Red Moon accomplished, the warehouse should have no reason not to–indicating its condition might even be worse than the Red Moon’s.

The situation before was indeed perilous!

I didn’t only not know the direction, there was also someone on top of me waiting to lead me astray.

Luckily, I was a step above in skills!

Relying on the top tier task person’s sense of smell, I maximized subjective initiative and stimulated the residual heat of the warehouse.

Since the Headcage was between us, Fu Qian couldn’t touch his own chin; he instead stroked the cool lower edge and was content for two seconds.

Not only had I completed the Second-Phase Ritual, but I had even conveniently dealt with the hidden danger of the Red Moon–it truly was killing two birds with one stone.

The sacrifice of Emperor Yasui was worth it.

Of course, to truly incarnate as a Pseudo-God, I still needed to find and digest Divine Traits.

From the moment one began to command Divinity, materials seemingly became essential–as also indicated by the ritual preparations mentioned by Yasui Tokiyuki.

The difference between before and after felt quite interesting; I could explore that slowly later.

As for now, it was time to return to the scene of the crime.

Thinking this, Fu Qian stood up and picked up two masks.

And a silent Rattle Bell…

And a bell that could make noise…

And a dim, murky eyeball…

A white whistle…

Several rings…

Yes, perhaps because I lost control of my body during slumber, various props had fallen all around, much like a boss that had exploded.

Unfortunately, the Divine-Level Insight came a bit too late, and Delusional Step’s abilities had already dissipated. It was time to see if Mercy could be picked up again.

Reflecting, Fu Qian arranged the objects one by one.

Glancing at his body, he carefully adjusted the Bone Armor and rapidly transformed into a formal suit.

A celebratory banquet still required formal attire.

In the next moment, he removed the Headcage and donned the Messenger.

…

I almost missed the big scene!

Nothing unexpected appeared; the desolate scene before me was unchanged, even the unsettling murmurs had disappeared.

At the location where Yasui Shi had fallen, a spherical object as large as a head floated mid-air, rotating like a planet.

At a glance, the surface was covered in strange patterns, a crown motif faintly visible.

And all this was enveloped by an intense crimson.

At this very moment, the gigantic Red Moon almost touched the ground, as if it would crush this place in the next moment.

And the big scene Fu Qian mentioned was the countless twisted lines above stretching out, wafting tendrils and arms.

These eerily beautiful creations were slowly reaching towards the essence of Yasui Shi, grasping him firmly.

But in the next moment, seemingly no longer able to resist some kind of pressure, the arms and tendrils quickly retracted, bringing the sphere back to the main body with them.

Looking again, it seemed an additional circular imprint had appeared on the Red Moon.

Seeing this scene, Fu Qian seemed to understand what “power stripped away” in the mission summary meant.

The authority of Yasui Shi now likely belonged to this being.

Including this Half-step Moon.

“Very well done… my kind child…”

In the next moment, a gentle voice rang out, filled with irrepressible delight.
