Chapter 2465: Chapter 2460: Appraisal Complete

Fu Qian was not sure if the Return Edict would be effective, but this did not affect the good habit of achieving multiple purposes in one go.

Aside from dealing with Cass’s situation, he could even test whether the thing in front of him was Engraving Wisdom, or if the Return Edict could be effective on it.

Early on, when signaling Lisa to calm down and wait for the dean to come over, Fu Qian had already decided what he would do once they were there.

Even if Cass did not come to visit, he would go to visit him instead and do the same thing.

"You can switch to the complete mythical form, as long as it’s not too large and doesn’t ruin my renovation."

Faced with Cass sitting there cooperatively, he added a reminder.

The Return Edict is colorless and tasteless, not easy for a demigod to grasp.

However, the dean expressed absolute trust, saying that once it begins, it starts without question.

"Haha, that won’t happen."

Even in response to Fu Qian’s suggestion, he merely chuckled, indicating that his mythical form is not so ostentatious.

As for whether the complete mythical form poses any danger to the "demigod" sitting opposite, there appeared to be no concern—though the sky was darkening.

Almost instantly, a transformation occurred.

It was indeed supposed to get dark, but the feeling was more akin to a shadow suddenly appearing in front of them and furiously erupting outward.

Though, at the center of the shadow, the clothes of the person involved remained intact.

Only the body below was completely covered by familiar scales, even moving slightly.

...

The dean truly kept his word, saying he wouldn’t damage the furniture, and he didn’t.

Cass’s action was indeed straightforward, wasting no time to launch his great move.

Certified by the Abandonment King himself, Fu Qian acknowledged this was indeed a genuine mythical form.

The completeness of it felt irrefutable.

Compared to the current form, the singular arm just now vividly showcased what is known as mere scales and claws.

Beneath the robe, Cass did not expand into a massive object but was far from simply donning a suit of scales.

The human silhouette remained, yet on one hand was extremely blurry, while on closer inspection, the structure had completely changed.

It was still a flesh-and-blood creation, but every part was now composed entirely of slender snake bodies.

Identical to those just seen, the scales were actually densely covering these snake bodies, though in much smaller size.

Even the tails were bitten onto one another, seen connected head to tail, endless and beginningless.

What struck Fu Qian most forcefully was the human torso outlined by this "snake rope," as if without a brain.

Indeed, there was the mouth and the lower part of the nose, but further up the entire head seemed like a bowl.

Lost the upper half, while the middle was empty, extremely brainless in shape.

"Can you still speak like this?"

However, pointing out someone lacked a brain was clearly impolite, so after some observation, Fu Qian turned his focus to communication.

"Yes."

He quickly received a confident response.

Cass’s lips did not move, but indeed sound erupted from within.

The physical structure seemed unimportant, the significance of "mouth" still appeared intact.

"How do you feel?"

Communication remained convenient, making Fu Qian very pleased.

"Very good, even easier compared to my normal mythical form."

After a two-second silence, Cass seemed to savor it a bit, then indicated that no strange condition arose.

It’s quite logical, the effect of the Return Edict is to transform the "affected entity towards the original order."

For high-level extraordinary entities, the mythical form should be more fundamental than this layer of human skin, the Return Edict essentially helps him maintain this state.

Seriously listening, Fu Qian slightly nodded next moment.

"Seems like there’s no issue, evaluation completed."

...

A bit too efficient perhaps?

Though there was a process of assessment, by normal standards, wasn’t that just the start?

Already indicating everything’s fine and he can go home?

"Do you trust me or myself?"

At that moment Cass seemed even a bit stunned.

"To be precise, I lack the means to disprove this further."

As Fu Qian poured Cass another cup of tea, he casually explained.

Many things were inherently not that complicated.

Having long decided to use the Return Edict, because this was the right fit.

According to Cass’s description, his situation was markedly different from typical possession or split, sounding almost enlightened and attaining Buddhahood.

In this scenario, the effect of the Return Edict was simple, just an attempt to disperse any influence, to avoid interference from higher existence.

As long as it wasn’t this kind of dimensional reduction strike, Fu Qian had great confidence in Cass.

Once the possibility of such strikes was reasonably excluded, there’s very little left to be done.

Can’t just go for a Gospel Blast.

The Burial Scroll is in cooldown, such an action would be like doing surgery with eyes closed.

"You’ve already awakened anyway."

Without intending any further attempts, as he spoke Fu Qian even turned off the Return Edict.

Academics lead by example in this pure and unadorned manner, last time’s primary scientific investigation of the Bone Spirit Realm, was also completed in mere minutes?

Besides, considering everything seemed normal, the possibility of the illusion being Engraving Wisdom in front was now very low.

...

Haha!

The dean proved to be a broad-minded person, quickly laughing at the somewhat irresponsible diagnostic attitude, perhaps recalling their previous cooperative research.

Amid laughter, the brainless form quickly dissolved, returning to human form.

"Thank you for the trust and for helping control the situation earlier."

As that expressive face emerged, Cass formally thanked with appreciation, seeming quite satisfied with Fu Qian’s performance through the process.

"Speaking of which, just as I was about to depart, Veron also visited me."

Not mentioning Fu Qian’s overly adept performance in face of the complete mythical form, next moment Cass patted his head, appearing to recall something.

"Oh? He’s got time for that?"

Fu Qian showed some interest for a moment.

His hidden ailment just cleared, yet rather than staying at the institute to preside over affairs, he ventured out for social calls?

It was hard to imagine him having something in common to chat with Cass.

"He represented the entire Linghui, expressing gratitude and hoping I could convey it to you."

Cass shook his head, the words seemingly conveying Mr. Viron’s solemnity.

Although he seemed to have thanked more than once.

"Additionally, he mentioned two matters: first, opening Linghui’s collection to Heaven’s Commencement Institute, mentors can apply for access as needed."

Luckily, there were concrete terms this time.

"Second, they won’t make any demands on Wen Li, like inviting her to join, but she will always be a honored guest of Linghui."

Cass quickly supplemented, glanced at Fu Qian.

"Does Wen Li know what she’s doing?"
