Chapter 2014: Chapter 2009: The Difference Between Divine and Mortal Is No More Than Clay

"An intriguing item, so tiny yet a crystallization of misconceptions."

It seemed that the Jade Soul Master did not doubt Fu Qian’s overly confident reply, for the next moment, his gaze rested upon the paper cup in Fu Qian’s hand, directly offering his commentary.

"A very clever choice; among the outsiders I’ve met, you are undoubtedly the most impressive."

His praise was straightforward, naturally so, as if he were self-aggrandizing.

"I thought you would call it a Heart Demon."

Fu Qian was equally unrestrained in his lack of humility, merely curious about the other’s choice of words.

Blood and Wine and Blood, the item in hand was certainly not a real disposable cup.

The convenience of retrieving it from the warehouse was indeed aimed at the current situation.

For an idealist player, adding some difficult-to-digest "filth" would undoubtedly help slow the pace of progression.

And judging by the Jade Soul Master’s reaction, the item indeed posed a complication for him.

Certainly, this item belonged to an open operation; Fu Qian never expected to conceal it from the other.

Curiosity was sparked by the use of "outsider" as a term.

Understanding this concept was not surprising, but the articulation was strikingly colloquial, rather than saying, "You Heart Demon spawn, today I will slaughter you all"?

Is this the true confidence brought by inner conviction?

Anyone facing such an opponent would be sweating profusely, although Fu Qian only felt gratified—he certainly found the right person, as this one knows indeed much.

Furthermore, his self-revelation was clearly intended to impart knowledge to me.

...

Before the light, there is filth, beneath the hall of justice, there are villains. The moment the Jade Soul Master appeared, a certain self-awareness vividly manifested for Fu Qian.

The effect was the immediate annulment of affinity generated recently with the Academy, and even quicker reverse propulsion.

Their appearance was like adding frost to snow.

Leveraging the advantage gained early on to exert direct pressure, preventing any chance of respite.

Moreover, sitting face-to-face like this is inevitably awkward, they were surely utilizing this time for therapeutic conversation.

Slicing through Heart Demons via "self" dialogue is a quite common tactic.

Thus, what the other comprehended over years is surely going to be shared with me.

"That kind of word game is meaningless; knowing what it refers to is already sufficient.

"Besides, language itself is a crude misconception, only leading to distortion."

Indeed, the Jade Soul Master was very talkative, sitting very expansively while speaking, completely unworried about being smashed.

"I am enlightened, and while at it, I must thank you; not long ago, I received aid from your concept."

The other was so easygoing; Fu Qian could only feel satisfaction.

Not only did he readily flow with goodwill, but even specifically expressed gratitude.

It wasn’t mere talk; in the Paradise task earlier, being able to bring down Eckhart with a single blow was exactly because he borrowed from the other’s concept, achieving resonance with Supreme Heaven.

"Paradise? In fact, it was there back then that I realized this one point ... and from Eckhart I perceived more of my own foolishness."

Displaying an extraordinarily charming smile, the Jade Soul Master likewise didn’t hold back, casually giving two astonishing titles.

...

"Can you sense it anytime?"

These words carry such a wealth of information.

Knowing about Paradise is one thing; having visited it is nothing uncommon.

But understanding accurately that I utilized his concept in there?

Moreover, Eckhart, whose name I wore out extreme effort to prompt the warehouse for aid in finding.

This mental tactic is no mere trifling matter; another person likely would have their mind thrown into disarray from one blow.

Although Fu Qian’s response was to offer a sympathetic inquiry with a smirk.

The reason no other than, despite appearing bizarre, he himself has referenceable experiences—

Where there is thought, there is detection; back in his original world, he was tormented endlessly by similar calls.

Although it seems less apparent in the bookstore world, the "Jade Soul Master" is one who can digest Divine heritage; his ability type is quite unique.

Hence, rather than immediately doubting oneself with just one encounter, it’s better to use oneself as a mirror for reference.

Though even under such circumstances, thinking back still harbors a touch of dread.

Not just against a foe like him, but even for the "Jade Soul Master" himself, being long-subjected to such torment, it’s hardly possible not to resort to idealism.

"Indeed,weren’t you always searching for me?"

Amidst admiration, the Jade Soul Master naturally nodded once more, affirming Fu Qian’s statement.

"Then now you found me."

...

It’s truly unassailable.

From the perspective of this master, this encounter undoubtedly can be interpreted as a result of mutual pursuit.

Even further, it’s indeed a bond between the true self and Heart Demons.

All motives for refutation, under the premises of the mind-oriented universe and the crude nature of language, are evidently fragile.

In short, the other’s thought process has genuinely operated harmoniously, reaching the peak of mastery.

"Indeed, there’s much I wish to ask."

Very much embodying the opponent’s state, Fu Qian answered with great honesty.

"But you don’t believe."

Yet, the Jade Soul Master cast a glance this way, drawing a plain conclusion in tone.

"Yes, I don’t believe."

Such keen insight is no wonder, the deathmatch is indefinitely tug-of-war.

My state, though gradually declining due to the other’s appearance, hasn’t fully collapsed, already proving an enduring mentality.

"You indeed should not believe, so my choosing you holds greater significance."

His response carried a sense of ’this is why it’s worth my action.’

"Deviation from the true self, indulging in demonic hindrance, has forever been a process of self-persuasion. You certainly have ample reason, and it’s supported by ’reality.’"

Alongside reverse flattery, he casually toyed with the leaf of the Snow Tree in his hand.

Its greenness remained, not turning white, but merely a moment induced another type of glaring brilliance.

As if the sunlight reflected upon it kindled it, making it also start to glow and radiate warmth.

Is this the truth of becoming white when meeting snow? A superior being symbolized by the Snow Tree seemed to possess some unique affinity authority.

Observing this incredible scene, Fu Qian thought of the scene Miss Liushuang lamentably did not witness.

"But does a fundamentally solid foundation truly exist? Sufficient for you to call it reality... Wouldn’t it ultimately encounter fragile chaos as you dig deeper?"

Far from over, under the leaves’ reflection, transformations were happening on the Jade Soul Master as well.

Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...

Like riding an elevator, in the blink of an eye, within Fu Qian’s perception, before him was already a Melia of the same rank as himself.

"For instance, the boundaries between mundane and transcendent, between Divine and human, on what basis do you make judgments?"
