Chapter 872: Chapter 870: Ignition (44) Chapter 872: Chapter 870: Ignition (44) “Congratulations, it was but a minor effort.”

Facing Yuan Fang, who appeared rather self-satisfied, Fu Qian listened to him attentively and casually indicated that there was no need for thanks.

“This guy actually let the outsiders go!”

Yet this harmonious scene clearly irked the Crystal Demigod, who decisively stepped forward to enumerate Fu Qian’s offenses.

“…The target had fallen into the trap, and until the very last moment before their escape, he did not issue any warning. I am quite suspicious of whether this guy is really on our side.”

Even though Yuan Fang was clearly aware of these allegations.

The Crystal’s actions were obviously a reminder to Yuan Fang that everyone had their eyes on Fu Qian’s deeds, and after coming over so formally to make things so harmonious, a proper explanation was expected.

This person doesn’t let anything pass him by!

In light of this accusation, the accused, Fu Qian, couldn’t help but tsk-tsk in admiration.

Alas, the most egregious of his crimes, as far as the Crystal Demigod was concerned, had already slipped from her grasp, and the same was true for their Prophet.

Ballard had vanished completely from this world.

“I trust Mr. Andiel did his best.”

Caught up in reflections, Yuan Fang did not hesitate to adopt a stance, even patching up his own actions in the process.

“The other party is a cunning Divine Envoy, I was even deceived at first.”

“And if we are to speak candidly, it is rather we who failed in our duty, in not providing Mr. Andiel with sufficient security during our joint operation.”

It was evident, despite his lower ranking, that Yuan Fang had considerable authority in this place.

Coupled with his clear logic, the Crystal Demigod found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

“So though Mr. Andiel is an outsider, there is no need for doubt, he indeed stands with us now.”

“I have even come here to ask for his help in a new matter.”

After swiftly defining Fu Qian’s actions, Yuan Fang turned to him the next moment with a polite demeanor.

“Oh, what matter?”

I can’t help but feel the term “outsider” is being emphasized a bit too deliberately.

Sensing something odd in Yuan Fang’s words, Fu Qian blinked and asked nonchalantly.

“Don’t be nervous, a rather easy task.”

Yuan Fang smiled mysteriously.

And before he finished speaking, Fu Qian noticed the scenery before him change rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, not only had Akasha and the other disappeared without a trace, but everything around him, as far as the eye could see, had turned into a profound blackness.

“I apologize for not asking for your consent in advance, but the following topic is somewhat private, and I thought it would be better to communicate in this way.”

Seeing that Fu Qian calmly surveyed his surroundings without a hint of panic, Yuan Fang revealed a look of appreciation.

“So when you communicate information with them, you do it in this way?”

Fu Qian nodded, showing no suspicion of the change, and even asked with curiosity.

“Yes, as a Transcendent with little combat ability, I need some minor tricks.”

Yuan Fang smiled.

“This is a highly concealed mental space where I can briefly interact with most Demigods any time, anywhere, in this manner.”

“However, because you are somewhat unique, I would need to be physically closer to initiate it.”

Yuan Fang explained another reason for making the special trip.

“Also, rest assured that time nearly stands still here compared to the outside world, so there is no need to worry about safety.”

“I understand, so my unique trait is?”

Fu Qian nodded, not forgetting the adjective just used.

“Didn’t I tell you already, outsider?”

Yuan Fang laughed heartily.

Oh?

Fu Qian frowned.

“Do you think that over all these years, I wouldn’t know that there are certain special ways that allow outsiders to live and blend into this world, becoming part of destiny?”

Yuan Fang maintained a controlled demeanor.

“An emergent Demigod, even indistinct at the level of fate, no matter how naturally and insanely you perform, it’s hard to fully trust you.”

“But at that time, you didn’t bring it up and even suggested I pretend to be an outsider?”

It seemed Fu Qian had realized something.

“Isn’t it interesting to have an outsider pretend to be an outsider?”

Yuan Fang’s smile remained undiminished.

“I even think you should be thankful because I greatly simplified the difficulty of your portrayal.”

“Of course, my gratitude is still genuine, perhaps not for that reason specifically, but you indeed have become the savior of this place.”

“After being cornered by my people, your performance was impeccable.”

“So much so that on your way to my place, I thought such perfect acting shouldn’t go to waste!”

“So you chose to use their own strategy against them?”

Fu Qian was already quite understanding of his meaning.

“Yes, although the ultimate purpose is unclear, it seems highly probable that your team decided to have you pretend to be a local and deal with us.”

“As such, I thought that your team would most likely cooperate with some of your actions. It just so happens I could make use of that to calm the populace more smoothly, helping them to not be too agitated or confused by the profound changes.”

“Now it looks like the effects are very good, you have perfectly accomplished your mission, even bringing a Divine Envoy to cooperate in the act voluntarily.”

“Now they might be dissatisfied with you, but Crystal and the others are clearly convinced of the outsiders causing trouble. As the flames grow ever more intense, they should be sufficiently cautious.”

“You’ve gone to great pains; your role as a Prophet isn’t an easy one.”

It was quite evident that Prophet Yuan considered Fu Qian to be in league with Xiumeng and the others.

Listening closely to Yuan Fang’s explanation, Fu Qian remarked feelingly but did not refute any point.

“So what is the matter you wish to ask of me?”

Not only that, but he even brought up the reason for being called here.

“Quite simple, to deal with a risk.”

Yuan Fang was forthright, pointing to his own head.

“Though our collaboration has been pleasant, you know too much and are hard to control, leaving our achievements in jeopardy.”

“I don’t know what the real purpose of your visit here is, nor do I care. As for you personally, you now have two choices.”

Yuan Fang raised two fingers.

“First, by self-destruction, truly join us.”

“Faking reality?”

Fu Qian nodded slightly, recalling what the Clown had said–that if one died here, they would become like a local upon their return.

“A clever move indeed. No matter the origin or intent, once I truly become a member of this place, my interests will genuinely align with the role I’ve been playing. And the second option?”

“You’re a smart young man!”

Fu Qian caught on quickly, and Yuan Fang seemed very satisfied.

“The second option, for lacking cooperative sincerity and harboring ill intentions, you’ll be dealt with directly. I believe those outside would have no qualms about doing just that.”
