Chapter 1882: Chapter 1877: Artifact Seedbed (32)

"So, am I currently facilitating the revival of a Superior Being?"

As expected, Kaldora didn’t disappoint. Almost without hesitation, she caught up, justifying Fu Qian’s high regard for her.

The logic was simple: what else could she do but follow?

In such a mysterious place, should she continue wandering aimlessly?

Regardless of whether it’s true or false, at least Professor Fu is talking, providing information that can be discerned.

"But what is the logic behind this? Honestly, I fully doubt I have the ability to cause such an impact."

Thus, as soon as Kaldora caught up, she immediately questioned the statement Fu Qian had just made.

"Good question, I also want to know. How about telling me what you were doing before coming here?"

Fu Qian instantly praised her and quickly responded with a question.

Squeak—

Actually, there wasn’t any sound; it was added by Fu Qian.

At that moment, Kaldora didn’t answer. Instead, she experienced a special kind of mental disturbance.

Simply put, it felt like a beautiful spring outing, flowers blooming and willows turning green, with a gentle breeze lifting your spirits—but concealed within are invisible ice needles.

The contrast was so unique and striking that it almost reached a physical level.

Even as a Second Phase participant, Fu Qian felt as if clusters of ice needles were rampaging in his head, traversing to and fro through the most vulnerable spots.

It couldn’t cause any substantial damage, but it was enough to ruin one’s mood.

Fu Qian’s steps didn’t falter; he merely glanced to the side.

For a moment, there was a noticeable pause, and it was instead Kaldora who stopped walking.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would be like this,"

But it lasted only a moment. As Fu Qian’s gaze chilled her to the core, Kaldora quickly realized something and straightforwardly apologized. After hesitating for a moment, she continued following.

...

"Oh?"

Seeing Kaldora catching up and walking beside him, Fu Qian retracted his gaze, responding with a single word.

Who else could it be? The situation just now was certainly Kaldora’s doing.

As for the purpose, it’s actually not too difficult to guess.

"I just wanted to gauge your ranking, because I couldn’t get a grasp from the start."

Sure enough, Kaldora swiftly explained the next moment, even using a respectful address.

"Mainly, the things mentioned earlier were too incredible, practically hard to believe."

"But now I’ve confirmed, your ranking is far above mine, not requiring lies."

Indeed, the reasoning was quite clear.

Facing Kaldora’s explanation, Fu Qian didn’t raise objections.

This was a perfectly normal response, a quick way to handle this awkward situation.

From Kaldora’s perspective, a strange place with peculiar people saying things sounding nonsensical, possibly trying to deceive her for some unspeakable purpose.

However, if the speaker’s ranking vastly differs in substance from hers, it’s a different matter.

No deceit needed; someone with free control over her life—the credibility of the speech naturally increases significantly.

Thus, directly probing the emerging star of the Academy was a clearly good choice to determine their worth.

The only problem was that this probing method could easily cause misunderstandings.

"Also, please believe that the earlier incident was unexpected. My ability was supposed to soothe emotions, even blood and flesh. Why it turned aggressive is unknown."

Next, Kaldora proactively explained Fu Qian’s doubts.

...

That makes sense.

After making such a move, and still having the courage to follow, it was apparent that there was a reason.

Moreover, from Fu Qian’s perspective, it was possible to roughly guess the root of the problem—Divinity.

This symbol of High-level Extraordinary isn’t easy to obtain.

The transition to Demigod is a true qualitative change.

Even adding a peak rank to the Fourth Phase title is merely an exaggerated praise of ambition.

Somehow, this trace of Divinity must have an unusual origin, difficult for Kaldora to manage, ultimately manifesting as a change in ability.

"It might relate to changes within you. Did you feel different after arriving here?"

In the cautious gaze of Kaldora, Fu Qian showed notable understanding.

"Also, just call me Fu Qian."

...

"Thank you for understanding... Fu Qian."

Clearly still slightly shocked by the other’s amicability, Kaldora didn’t dwell on her emotions and quickly complied with the request.

She even started contemplating Fu Qian’s query.

"It likely is, but this change didn’t originate after arriving here."

After some thought, she shook her head, providing a rather peculiar answer.

"Before encountering you, I had briefly arrived here, completely puzzled.

"Earlier, I followed a team, exploring a dangerous area. For uncertain reasons, changes appeared on me, and I’m not the only one."

Aha, opportunities indeed favor the prepared.

Though Kaldora’s introduction wasn’t very detailed, Fu Qian remained impressed, feeling notably rewarded.

Dangerous area exploration, team activities, Kaldora’s participation, faced with incomprehensible special circumstances... these combined elements were remarkably representative—

The special operation that once devastated the Academy.

Few survivors remained in the end, and this person returned desperately, leaving precious test material for future generations...

Was she actually pulled from that last period?

"So what specifically were you exploring?"

Fu Qian didn’t hide his interest in that Academy secret and naturally continued asking.

"...You don’t know?"

Originally somewhat confirming Fu Qian’s statements as factual, that she was indeed entangled in an incident years later, Kaldora’s expression grew complex, containing a hint of reminiscence.

Yet, Fu Qian’s question stunned her.

Unsurprisingly, that an Academy descendant didn’t know such a significant event logically seemed unreasonable.

"Well, I’m sorry, but due to operation requirements, I can’t tell you."

With a hint of hesitation, Kaldora ultimately shook her head firmly.

Though logic seemed muddled again, she decided to uphold certain principles.

"I understand. Then how about describing the consistent unusual changes you all experienced?"

Fu Qian remarkably relaxed, showing no concern, directly opting for another question.
