Chapter 1478 - 1476: Talent and Destiny

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1476: Talent and Destiny

Professional translators must dare to add details.

To avoid wasting time with hesitation, Fu Qian did not let Jiang En choose which part to be sacrificed independently.

In the ritual content just instilled, he directly clarified that the will should be concentrated on one tooth.

The reason for this choice is that, on one hand, the sacrifice is smaller for this misguided young man, and on the other, it symbolizes the beautiful meaning of grinding teeth with determination.

"Generally speaking, the closer you are to the limit, the higher the success rate."

Beside Jiang En, Wen Li, although unable to perceive the details of the tooth, also had an overall grasp of Jiang En’s state and silently supplemented the key points for a moment.

The fast progress of events initially shocked her greatly.

But later, thinking back to recent experiences, she felt somewhat relieved.

When she advanced to the Fourth Phase, it seemed like from receiving enlightenment to fully completing the celebration banquet, it took less than an hour...

"Reasonable indeed, deviation needs time to incubate, and the fear of death rises exponentially."

Fu Qian quickly agreed with her statement.

"Hmm... that’s what Chief Yuan said at the time too. Her interpretation of the essence of this ritual is that it evokes the aversion of higher-order beings through this transcendence over death, thereby eliminating this unnatural phenomenon."

...

"Aversion, this word is used very accurately."

Casually giving Chief Yuan a compliment, Fu Qian looked up at the distance.

The protagonist of the ritual, Jiang En, is now in a pool of blood.

Neither the obstruction nor the darkness hindered his observation of this detail in the slightest.

As a renowned talent, Jiang En was naturally skilled in bleeding himself.

The position, angle, and depth were all just right, and he even took advantage of the wound left by Fangthroat.

Amid this relatively calm flow of life, Jiang En was trying his best to display unyielding will.

What he did not know, unfortunately, is that the essence of this behavior is merely to evoke aversion.

Then, using the aversion-induced action, breaking through oneself at a certain moment.

The ultimate meaning of self-struggle is borrowing the strength of others, which carries a somewhat dramatic irony.

As for why higher-order beings engage in such idle tasks? Fu Qian said he could somewhat empathize as well.

Eliminating anomalies is a survival instinct.

And this deviation from biological nature is the anomaly.

If this ritual is not Heaven’s Commencement Institute but human-designed, the original author could be deemed a master—or a madman.

"So... when is the right moment to take action?"

Fu Qian’s reaffirmation made Wen Li apparently also realize Jiang En’s true predicament, letting out a light sigh about the oddity of the Transcendent’s path before asking.

"No rush, I believe this is a good opportunity for Brother Jiang En."

Fu Qian gave a mysterious smile.

"He has a talent he isn’t yet aware of."

...

"What’s going wrong with that guy!"

In fact, as he spoke, through a faint connection, Fu Qian was listening to an anger-filled voice.

Always proactive, Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s posture was even more intense this time.

And naturally, whom she referred to was Jiang En, who was staunchly confronting death.

As previously conjectured, Jiang En’s abnormal behavior quickly caught the attention of the Greedy Worms.

The originally gathered crowd was once again discussing fervently.

"When we needed to handle him safely, didn’t you say keeping him might still be useful, at least to monitor the Night Watchman’s moves?"

Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist had hardly finished yelling when someone sarcastically mocked.

"Now look, we can’t stop him at all, and that guy’s causing havoc over there, implicating us."

"How was I supposed to know he’d do such a thing? Plus, I’m affected no less than you!"

Already in a bad mood, Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist now shouted even louder.

The reason for such an intense reaction from everyone was simple, given the Greedy Worm’s nature, the life force happening on Jiang En was already shared.

Just like when Daneta’s head was crushed, he didn’t die; the Greedy Worms indeed share true camaraderie in suffering.

That’s also why Fu Qian said Jiang En had a talent he wasn’t aware of.

If his willpower is strong enough, the Greedy Worms can provide an exceptionally long process of deviation for him, greatly increasing the ritual’s success rate.

Why is Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s reaction the most intense, you ask?

The reason is just as simple, the interaction before confirmed that she, with a unique lineage structure, was Daneta’s superior, and Jiang En was the novice developed by the latter.

With Daneta gone, she was undoubtedly the one directly linked to Jiang En within the swarm, making the transmission of harm strike firstly.

Of course, mere agitation is useless; as mentioned previously, their reach is out of bounds, and the group that managed to escape would find it tough to turn back.𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Laurie...what do you think?"

Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist soon controlled her emotions looking at a nearby figure, hesitated a moment, yet consulted him.

...

With white hair and beard, bearing a steady posture, Laurie, referred to the auction host is Mr. Laurie Sr. indeed.

Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist’s hesitation seemed to lie here as well.

As the lead of the entire group, Laurie’s experience is undoubtedly old, determining that he remains less affected by Jiang En.

However, his state remains the least optimistic one, with typhoid panic still overshadowing him.

For a team capable of hosting an auction, it carries a certain depth behind.

Despite the fifty-nine-minute point being long passed, due to various means, continuation has persisted till now.

Though from Laurie’s demeanor, it could still be seen that the Greedy Worms reached their limit, ready to abandon treatment.

This situation certainly didn’t suit interruption, but matters were urgent, Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist couldn’t care less.

"What he is doing... very odd."

Amid the awaited gaze, despite complex emotions, Laurie still chose to make some final effort, analyzing in a low voice.

"Although what we see is him self-harming, followed by continuous life loss, the bottle in his hand is obviously special, appearing abruptly."

"Given the current situation, it’s hard to truly say he’s employing this bizarre method to end himself."

Looks like you’re not up to it and just casually comforting us...

Unable to see everyone’s specific expressions, the ensuing silence let Fu Qian express the inner voice for others.

For these people, the occurrences from early morning till now were indeed numerous.

Knowing that if Laurie gets instantly killed by the "Divine Punishment," they would be implicated unfavorably as well.

"So what should we do? Just wait?"

A moment later, it was still Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, with an already weaker tone, expressing her confusion.

"Well, isn’t that so? A simple estimate reveals even if we risk returning to Shangjing now, it’ll be too late."

Mr. Laurie Sr. with a long sigh showed a demeanor of knowing destiny.
