Chapter 2850 - 2845: Structure and Whispers

Chapter 2850: Chapter 2845: Structure and Whispers

It was already quite rare, as Lord Patch spent a full fifteen minutes making small talk.

With a light touch, events were already beginning to change.

A mere thread of a Divine Dream Remnant was casually expanded by Lord Patch, once again enveloping the entire archipelago.

On one hand, this naturally demonstrated the great power of this Cosmic Deity.

Though appearing approachable, at the core, he was ultimately an existence at the pinnacle of the Transcendent Path.

On the other hand, it also meant that matters finally reached the main topic.

Yes, the whole process seemed abrupt, yet Fu Qian had no dissatisfaction.

As mentioned earlier, Patch stepping out upon being reminded was one thing, but it was never intended for reminiscence.

Perhaps there were no apparent irreconcilable conflicts between them, and exchanging some information wasn’t bad either.

But never forget that this group of people practiced a principle of keeping a low profile, avoiding exposure wherever possible.

Even such minor matters are fraught with deception, making the trustworthiness of the situation suspect, and ultimately not worth much.

The reason Patch agreed to step out so readily was simple: reminding him that "Fifty is upon us" was never about threatening to eliminate Him, but signaling that if He didn’t emerge, they would destroy the place.

This Divine Dream Remnant, possibly containing traces of Annalise.

Patch’s decisive response was also very clear; he too found the place valuable and didn’t want to "destroy it needlessly."

Yes, the entire process was actually just like the first conversation earlier—

The night sky was moonless, so although I was staring at it, I saw nothing.

Yet this "saw nothing" nonetheless piqued Patch’s interest, leading to a shared goal.

In essence, what seemed like a threat was essentially an invitation.

It has to be said, Patch really had a strong penchant for amusement.

Even though he believed the place was of great value, he still preemptively created a cognitive trap, inducing me to "destroy it needlessly."

"Weren’t you worried that I would actually act on that?"

While placing great expectations on the Master, Fu Qian did not rush to question Patch, instead wondering who would lose patience first, gesturing to the position he had challenged the White Tower.

"Heh heh... it’s indeed wasteful, but there’s nothing much to regret."

Patch chuckled, quite transparent.

"If you could only manage that much, then it would not be worth the effort to continue."

...

Indeed, it was even a test.

Fu Qian shook his head, confirming that the description of these Superiors being excessively low-key was indeed accurate.

Patch’s intentions were already very clear.

The reason for doing something seemingly self-contradictory, clearly finding this place peculiar once He arrived—

Yet still employing tricks, leading my logic into a dead end, thereby making me believe the place had no value for exploration, prompting its destruction.

The real reason for such rash actions was simple: if I truly couldn’t break out of the dead end, there would be no need for a meeting or for Him to expend the effort.

Those who can’t even see through such deception are limited by their "circumstances," unable to discover anything even with His help.

Cruel and arrogant, but not without reasoning.

Additionally, it’s clearly hinted that Patch’s role in the exploration of this place can only be supportive; I must take charge.

"Let me think, is that false Power of the Code predicated on me as the core guide?"

And, naturally drawn to asking why about everything, Fu Qian pondered this important reason.

"After all, I’m not omnipotent, and when I encountered you before, I knew you had significant ties to this thing."

Patch admitted quite readily.

...

I knew it.

Besides ties to the moon, another important element in this Divine Dream relates to the laws.

Coincidentally, I possess the "world weary" core of False Law.

Even with all this, the vast powers of Lord Patch remain evident.

At that moment, Fu Qian noted that the Deceiver lived up to His name, handling even the unreasonable laws with ease.

Last time in Xi Yuan, facing the fully formed Three Thousand Laws, He easily deceived the world, securing a merciful end opportunity for a group of people.

This time, realizing the remnant dream had a gap in this area, He adapted swiftly, directly finding the Abandonment King, the bogus Law Core.

Ultimately, He successfully used me as an anchor, selectively replicating a White Tower Codex within the remnant dream, primarily to mislead me.

It must be said, that maneuver was skillfully executed.

Moreover, I’m more optimistic about the future cooperation.

"Indeed, the way you’ve been handling those components is quite interesting, showing me something intriguing,"

Just as Fu Qian wholeheartedly affirmed the other’s methods, Patch even returned the praise, naturally referencing "finger pressure."

"Don’t mention it. Didn’t you invite me to witness the Goddess of Sin and Punishment’s grand wedding last time?"

Waving his hand to indicate not to worry, Fu Qian recalled the fireworks seen at the Lonely King’s Palace.

"Heh heh... there are indeed similarities, glad to see your interest in this area remains— the result is here, and it seems you guessed right."

Pleased, Patch, while grinning slyly, shared something new, hinting that there was a significant similarity between "finger pressure" and what He did at that time.

Though, the very next moment, the topic naturally veered back to the original question.

"Order of Blood," naturally.

In this regard, Fu Qian silently acknowledged that it has always been his focus and that there has been considerable progress lately.

Actually, the reason for choosing to use finger pressure earlier, to provide a certain pair of eyes watching in the dark, was indeed one of the considerations.

"Are you insane?"

As for Patch’s guess that he got right, it naturally referred to his earlier prediction about who would lose their temper first and start shouting.

One can only say the Master, understandably, as Club Member Number 001, had a loss of control over emotions facing the completely destroyed lab, even earlier than Old Master Lu and the others, filled with shock and anger.

However, those words are not directed this way.

Clearly, with two Great Powers conversing here, their exchange wouldn’t join the shared waves to be heard by others.

Otherwise, no matter the Master’s nature, he surely wouldn’t dare to make a sound at this moment.

Who is he actually berating—?

"Is that really all you have to say?"

Replied by an equally familiar voice, it was Old Master Yibu, who had not yet appeared in this visit.

The commotion at the lab was indeed noticed, and the previously stationed New White Tower King was the first to come knocking, demanding an explanation.
