Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2623: Chapter 2618: World at Your Fingertips

The spectacle may be grotesque, but for Fu Qian, it is more of a familiarity.

Facing the door that appeared after switching to the middle finger, Fu Qian could easily imagine the scene behind it, even the smell.

That door he had once pushed open, right on the Half-step Moon, with decayed flesh behind that can even rot a Demigod.

Indeed, the Blood Lake in the God’s Burial Ground.

He had once used the White Ring to record certain auras, allowing the Red Moon to help him open the door to reach there, ultimately successfully obtaining one of the two qualities needed for the Second Phase, the Metal Blood nurturing a Phoenix.

As expected, some things don’t need to be lingered on. Just a moment ago, I was thinking if there could be another door opened by the Red Moon at an appropriate time to meet the Dragon King possibly residing there.

That being said... Fu Qian switched to the ring finger.

Unsurprisingly, the door changed again.

Compared to the previous two, this one was much more ordinary, no longer treading a gloomy path and almost luxurious.

As suspected, all of them are doors Red Moon had opened for him before.

And after witnessing the continuous switch, Fu Qian came to a conclusion.

Besides the one corresponding to the Blood Lake, actually, the first door was also quite familiar.

It was precisely the first destination chosen when first attempting to ask the Red Moon for help entering the Burial Ground, the hiding place of predecessor Liliana.

And the current third door, although slightly ordinary, is still not difficult for Fu Qian to recall having seen it before—Ye Island.

This is Darcy Crawford’s, an alternative gourmet’s, house door.

Of course, considering he had stayed over there twice and even accepted the title, theoretically it’s his house door now.

As for why the style differs so much from the previous two, yet it is placed together?

Actually quite reasonable, because that was also one of the doors Red Moon had opened for him.

After dealing with Lord Yasui Tokiyuki, returning to the residence to have tea with Su Gao.

And precisely because of the huge difference in style, it was easier for Fu Qian to confirm the pattern of the Red Moon’s gift this time.

...

Realizing "the child" can’t move around easily now, provided a set of Arbitrary Gate as much as possible?

Then due to problems with mental condition, can only rely on some past traces to provide stable coordinates?

Quickly grasping the Red Moon’s goodwill, Fu Qian couldn’t help but deeply feel its heft.

Although his state wasn’t good, unable to even communicate normally.

But always using the tools provided by the Red Moon, from rings to armor, and even this special system, was filled with practicality.

To the extent that at this moment, for Fu Qian, the world seemed to change, directly opening a map transfer sensation.

Moreover, although there are not many transfer points, at least two lead straight to critical places, pointing to the God Burial Ground considered taboo by the Night Watchman, how could one describe it as convenient—so are there more?

Curiosity was thoroughly sparked, Fu Qian quickly switched to the little finger.

Is this... Academy?

Indeed the scene changes again, the next moment the familiar appearance emerges before his eyes, Fu Qian easily recognized it as the entrance to a key laboratory at the Academy Heaven’s Commencement Institute.

That too is rational.

For Fu Qian, it wasn’t unexpected, good as an Arbitrary Gate, one node connection couldn’t be more normal.

Although it’s not a place of great importance, subsequent production, education, and research integration undoubtedly becomes more convenient and smooth.

So indeed each finger corresponds to a destination? What about the thumb?

Not rushing back for debriefing, Fu Qian switched to the right-hand thumb—gone?

Surprisingly, this undeniably central part of the hand didn’t stir up any ripples.

...

If limited to doors once opened, seems it’s just these, but why can’t it point to Half-step Moon?

Facing the new test result, Fu Qian expressed to understand wasn’t difficult, yet it still made him frown somewhat.

After all, Half-step Moon is considered Red Moon’s residence, occupying the central position, no harm in letting himself visit frequently for no reason, but no reflection?

Honestly speaking, the feeling isn’t too good, Red Moon left this Arbitrary Gate, paid some incredible price, divided his own authority or something?

Initial reflection wasn’t disappointment, rather pondering the counter-intuitive aspects, Fu Qian momentarily worried about the Red Moon’s state.

Especially considering the last sentence before leaving, it’s hard not to overthink—time is running out.

Although at first glance, seemingly could be understood as just saying goodbye...

Silently recalling, Fu Qian changed hands, five fingers eliciting no response.

Indeed just so many? And only corresponds to the right hand placed here.

Shaking his head, Fu Qian switched back his hand, pondering the most practical problem—how to open the door?

If indeed this is a result of the Red Moon’s high cost, all the more not to waste it.

Speaking of which if really made by the Red Moon’s painstaking effort as a fool’s exclusive version, operation ought to be very simple indeed.

Gazing at the sharp claw tip, Fu Qian gently pressed a finger down and deliberately adjusted the strength.

And the moment blood flowed out, the door suspended in the air surprisingly opened backward.

...

Indeed, simple.

Surrounding scenes swiftly transformed, the next moment Fu Qian found himself already leaving the bookstore, arriving at a slightly familiar place.

The spacious living room already possessed some dust accumulation, and the once bustling kitchen had quieted down.

Indeed, it is Darcy Crawford’s mansion, just used the ring finger.

Clearly, although the owner hasn’t appeared for many days, the local Night Watchmen still provided some care, preventing any intrusion.

Perhaps in Lady Suzune’s mind, never gave up the idea of guarding and waiting?

Without deliberately avoiding footprints and the like, Fu Qian walked through the old place, reminiscing many old acquaintances.

Can see the door he came from was open beside him, even outside was a normal scene.

So walking inside, can head back along the same path?

Even without Extraordinary Perception, Fu Qian nonetheless easily concluded a possible way back based on normal experience.

Just hope I wasn’t wrong, otherwise what’s supposed to be a vacation outing turns into a headache if Chief Yuan can’t find me.

Moreover, indeed the Red Moon’s setting, thoughtfully taking care of the "child’s" intelligence, akin to Blood Conquest, just needed blood to activate.

Leisurely took a stroll, after reminiscing amid the silence, Fu Qian didn’t push it too far, truly turned and stepped through the open door.

Proven correct, indeed didn’t enter the courtyard already visible with weeds.

Silently and soundlessly, the person already sat back on the bookstore chair, as if nothing had happened.

Truly nice.

Seemingly very satisfied with the transport effect, Fu Qian touched the teapot, already coolened down somewhat...

"People are arriving soon."

And just after he got up to replace the teapot with new tea, Yuan Shan had already returned swiftly.
