Chapter 2034: Chapter 2029: The Self-Awareness of the Lucky One
Infuse emotions directly into the attack? Even demigods will be strongly affected?
So this concept of a close combat mage, does it mean your words become reality?
"Have you ever thought for a moment that you might be the girl of destiny? That everyone else are characters without souls? That their existence makes sense only around you?"
Facing the case in front of them where a group of transcendents were trampled into dust, Fu Qian clicked his tongue in admiration.
Light Speed High Order, carrying a Mythical Form directly, and even Physical and Magical Dual Damage, these console players are really something.
"Professor Fu is joking, how could I have such conceited thoughts..."
Though accustomed to the style of Mr. Bodyguard, the sudden three-part inquiry at such a solemn moment did somewhat ruin the atmosphere.
Seeing even the research assistant with closed eyes couldn’t hide the smile at the corners of his mouth, Wen Li’s face almost showed a slight blush.
"I won’t lie and say my transcendence journey was full of hardships; in fact, just the suffering I’ve seen in the past few days already made me realize that the torment I once thought was worse than death is actually nothing..."
As she sighed lightly, her speech also sounded quite sincere.
"Compared to so many hardworking people, my experience has been suspiciously lucky, with a pathetically small proportion of effort involved.
"As for saying that power is also a curse, I won’t completely deny that, but I also won’t use such a saying to make myself feel more justified in my comfort... I am indeed a very lucky person, and I am prepared to calmly accept this luck as well as the possible cost behind it..."
She seems unlikely to take the path of idealism.
Must be the legendary proximity to red pigments, if only the Jade Soul Master had known her earlier, perhaps he could have accepted the influence.
Facing Wen Li who looked at him warmly and firmly, Fu Qian thought of another contrasting case.
People who have overly smooth paths often see the world in abstract terms.
Although compared to that person, Wen Li’s achievements do not count for much, just like she said, everything has an almost unreal feeling.
There is no doubt that the Jade Soul Master was exceptionally talented, to the point of having to find a reason for this unreality, eventually leading to never returning.
But Wen Li differs from him by not finding a reason, and accepting a reason that ordinary people wouldn’t accept—I’m just lucky.
Neither my talent nor effort stood out, luck played a huge role in bringing me this far.
Nor do I need self-curses like "I will have to repay in the future" to make myself feel more at ease.
...
In fact, the claim of luck is quite factual as well, Wen Li’s transcendent rise can be said to originate from the task assigned to her by the warehouse.
Even just advancing to the Middle Tier had the administrator lending a hand; this kind of show is indeed rare.
To the point that Fu Qian really had a small guess at the apex of Wen Li’s transcendent path—what if he hadn’t stepped in at that time, what would have been the result?
Actually, the initial demonstration showed that Wen Li would die.
Yet here comes an interesting question, what was the purpose of the warehouse in arranging that task?
Eve indeed has a bit of an evil aura, eliminating for the sake of peace in the world seems normal.
But if he hadn’t played his part, normally her fate would be to perish alongside Wen Li, wouldn’t the purpose of cleansing still be achieved?
Even hypothetically retreating a thousand steps, assuming the first mission failed, with only the relatively fragile Wen Li dying while Eve still struggling with all her might against imminent danger, she might even secure a slim chance of survival for herself—why not arrange for someone to step in and finish the job?
Though sometimes it looks like he does the work of saving the world, Fu Qian doesn’t see the warehouse as a bunch of good souls.
In summation, the goal of that task, "Wen Li advancing to Sixth Phase" probably has twofold meanings—
First, Eve must die; second, Wen Li must make a further step on this divine road.
The warehouse undoubtedly dislikes ancient supremo beings.
And figures like Eve and Lanina, appearing somewhat like minion seeds of ancient supremes, being targeted is not surprising.
Why want Wen Li to advance—taking the position.
The best way to occupy a seat is to have someone sit in it; even a little progress by human transcendents occupying key positions could create more obstacles for ancient supremes upon return.
If this assumption holds as a starting point, it’s also understandable why he helped cover up during Yasui’s divine ascension—
The warehouse doesn’t completely suppress all superior beings but leans toward replacing God of the Past with New Gods.
Perhaps not fostering all the way but making slight arrangements at key nodes.
On one hand this further proves Wen Li is walking an old path, on the other hand from this line of thought, according to her capability type blocking the way—Paradise?
Would her path’s apex actually be "Heaven is empty," striving to become Lord of Bliss, isn’t the aim too far-off?
Beside that, from the contact, the backdrop of Paradise doesn’t feel so impeccable.
But never mind, hasn’t the person already been enlightened long ago?
"A very good mindset, it’s not easy for young people to achieve this."
The transcendent path seems to have added another piece to the map, Fu Qian also nodded again, signaling Wen Li could first cancel the Mythical Form.
"But also don’t worry too much, if heaven falls the Night Watchman will support it."
...
The approval and comfort from Professor Fu certainly warms the heart, but the reason provided later is actually...
Wen Li just felt the words stuck in her throat, unsure how to comment, while the research assistant opposite clearly enjoyed this cold joke very much, laughter intensifying.
Though originally this isn’t a cold joke, but a statement of fact—the Lord of Bliss seemed to have died rather thoroughly.
Regarding their reactions, Fu Qian merely mused silently.
So even if it is indeed the same divine road, the one likely to cause trouble should be Lord Stomach rather than Him.
Moreover, not only did the former suffer losses in Paradise, he helped introduce Him to the Night Watchman.
The investigation report on Finger Ball has already been submitted, judging by the understanding of Lord Aike, evidently very responsible.
Not to mention through Old Master Stoss, he added so many additional flames.
Thinking about Lord Stomach being harmed by villains, facing the dire situation, Fu Qian sighed lightly.
All in all, if something happens to Wen Li, it’s just too easy to redirect towards the Night Watchman, watching the mighty battle from across the river.
And during this capability development process, there’s also the Spirit Ash scapegoat, which allows him to stand more cleanly amid it all.
This is what it means that everything is the best arrangement.
"Okay, now can the additional gains be shared with the Spirit Ash mentors?"
"I think it’s about time I return, I’ve stayed here quite a while."
Wen Li apparently trusts Professor Fu’s judgment very much, briefly halted but still visibly relaxed somewhat.
"No need."
However, for her concerns, Professor Fu kept shaking his head.
"Wait for them to come over, that’s fine."
