It could not be taken seriously.
As for the truth, it was clearly impossible for him to learn of it on this sacrifice timeline.
Life was short. All he could do was follow the predetermined destiny and create value in a limited time.
There were many unknown truths that he had to find the answers to.
After thinking for a moment, he looked up at the green bracelet on the owner
of the fog¡¯s right wrist.
¡°By the way, what exactly is the effect of this miracle bracelet? Have you
figured it out?¡±
The owner of the fog immediately shook its head.
¡°I¡¯ve been exploring for the past few days, but I¡¯m still at a loss about how to use it. I can¡¯t see anything special about this miracle in its unactivated state and I can¡¯t activate it no matter how much energy I inject.¡±
¡°Were we wrong? It¡¯s not a miracle item?
¡°I won¡¯t see wrongly. Back then, the power of the humanoid leader to summon the phantom came from this bracelet. I have a rough guess now¡ At that time, the phantom behind the humanoid leader looked very simr to the humanoid race. When the other nsmen saw the phantom, they knelt and worshiped it, so I suspect that this bracelet can summon the power of our ancestors.¡± Looking at the solemn owner of the fog, Feng Qi could not help butugh.
¡°Summoning the power of ancestors? The dead ancestors?
At this moment, the owner of the fog red and said,
¡°The abilities of miracles can¡¯t be spected using the current cultivation system. The effects you think are unreasonable can very well be the abilities of miracles.¡±
¡°Not to mention obtaining the power of dead ancestors, I also know of a miracle item that can summon the consciousness of the ancient ancestor who has died for countless years, which is a soul in the mouth of humans.¡±
¡°These miracles are really ridiculous.¡± Hearing this, Feng Qi nodded. He thought about it carefully and realized it was just as the owner of the fog had said.
He had seen miracle with ridiculous effects before.
Among the miracle items he knew, the most ridiculous one was ckie. Apart from that, the deduction fragment that Qin Shikong had fused with was also very ridiculous. It could allow him to deduce the fate lines of others and predict part of the future.
Compared to the first two, summoning the power of the dead ancestors to strengthen oneself was not especially ridiculous.
As they continued chatting, a video invitation call box popped up on the tablet in the owner of the fog¡¯s hand.
Seeing the prompt, it immediately gave Feng Qi a look.
Feng Qi understood and decisively shut his mouth.
At this moment, the owner of the fog pressed ¡°ept¡±.
A bald man immediately appeared on screen of the tablet in its hand. He said respectfully,
¡°Commander Wang Yi, I¡¯m a representative of the Science and Technology Research Institute. I specially came to invite you to participate in the uing Science and Technology Research Institute Exchange.¡±
The owner of the fog nodded expressionlessly.
¡°I got it.¡±
With that, he hung up the video call.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is the ck shadow¡¯s force behind the Science and Technology Research Institute getting you to attend a meeting?
¡°That¡¯s right. No matter what, I¡¯m still one of the core members of this organization. It¡¯s normal for me to attend a meeting after so long. It¡¯s also good to scout for information.¡±
¡°Go. Remember to be safe. Don¡¯t die.¡±
¡°DO I look so weak¡¡± The owner of the fog could not help but roll its eyes, but then saw Feng Qi¡¯s red left arm. It suddenly stopped talking.
Feng Qi had saved him three times. Other than in the snow forest, where they had first met, he had risked his life to fight for it the other two times.
These words did not sound out of ceing from Feng Qi¡¯s mouth. Seeing the guilt in the owner of the fog, he stood up and patted its shoulder. ¡°Remember your promise. In the future, there will be a ce for me at the peak. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
When the owner of the fog heard that, it did not answer. It looked at Feng Qi¡¯s back and nodded solemnly.
The next day,te at night.
The owner of the fog left the manor and boarded a ne to Future City.
For the next half a month, it did not return.
Nor did it have any contact with Feng Qi.
During this period, Feng Qi was fully in charge of the various matters of thebat team.
Other than that, he would spend the rest of the time on body adaptation training.
Thepatibility between the blood-colored left arm and the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal was also constantly improving with training.
Now other than the fact that this left arm¡¯s coordination was weaker than his right arm, its recovery ability and resistance to attacks were stronger than his right arm.
In particr, the power erupting from his left arm was more than three times stronger than his right arm.
On this morning.
After training, Feng Qi arrived at themander¡¯s office early.
First, he habitually brewed a pot of tea. Then, he picked up thetest information on the desk and began to read..
Chapter 450 - 450: Black Death Plan (3)
Chapter 450 - 450: ck Death n (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At this moment, the door was pushed open. A familiar figure wearing a mask with a ck backpack appeared.
¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Seeing a familiar figure, Feng Qi put down the document in his hand.
At this moment, the owner of the fog pulled off its mask and closed the door. It went straight to the desk and sat down. Then, it said with a solemn expression, ¡°Guess what I found at the Science and Technology Research Institute meeting this time?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not guessing. Just say it.¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog immediately felt bored, but it continued,
¡°At this core meeting, the ck shadow¡¯s force behind the Science and Technology Research Institute asked me to participate in a project called the ck Death Project. In the subsequent days, 90% of the resources of the Science and Technology Research Institute will be invested in this project to elerate its development.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t understand. What do you mean?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know the exact situation either. In short, this project is made up of by countless small projects, such as the Eternal Project, the Spiritual Energy Nanomites Project, and so on. In short, a bunch of small projects put together form this big project.¡±
¡°As for the goal of this n, the ck shadow didn¡¯t tell me in detail. It only told me that I would be in charge of the small n for obtaining resources in the ck Death Project. Simply put, I would be in charge of earning spiritual resources for this big n.¡±
Hearing the exnation, Feng Qi¡¯s heart sank.
If he was not wrong, this n was clearly to create ckie.
Back then, from the information Mo Fei gave him, he thought that the n to create ckie was called the ¡°Spiritual Energy Nanomites Project¡±.
When he entered the second tier of the core circle, he also thought the same.
However, the owner of the fog was in the first tier. It clearly had more information.
This was the first time Feng Qi had heard of the ck Death Project.
If the spiritual energy nanomites were only part of this n, he was basically certain that ck Death was referring to his old acquaintance from 1,500 yearster: ckie.
At this moment, the owner of the fog interrupted his thoughts.
¡°This n is obviously abnormal. The ck shadow faction actually wants to use 90% of the Science and Technology Research Institute¡¯s resources and increase the acquisition of external resources to drive this project. I¡¯m very curious about its purpose now.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the use of being curious? In the eyes of the ck shadow, you¡¯re just a worker. You can¡¯t reach the core content of their scientific research at all.¡±
¡°So I¡¯m thinking, should we nurture a scientific research talent to infiltrate the core research circle and learn the secrets of this ck Death Project?¡±
Feng Qi was stunned as he looked at the serious owner of the fog.
He realized that the timeline had returned to normal again.
Back then, he thought that the Tiger Soul Research Institute had discovered the secret of the Science and Technology Research Institute and sent people to infiltrate it.
Back in the sacrifice timeline, he had even used a spy from Tiger Soul Research Institute as a shield.
However, he did not expect the owner of the fog to have such thoughts before it even infiltrated Tiger Soul Research Institute.
¡°What do you think? If this project is profitable, we can perhaps start nning in advance. When they seed in their research, we can seize it¡¡±
Hearing the its idea, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
However, what it said next made his eyes widen.
¡°The ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute are really smart. It actually infiltrated a human research institute to serve itself.. Perhaps we can try to do the same?¡±
Chapter 451 - 451: Fog’s Infiltration (1)
Chapter 451: Fog¡¯s Infiltration (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The owner of the fog¡¯s words made Feng Qi realize that the timeline had been
corrected.
History was once again moving along the established trajectory.
Back then, he thought that it was the owner of the fog¡¯s own idea to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute. He did not expect it to be influenced by the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
This meeting held by the ck shadow clearly made it realize the huge benefits
of controlling a human research institute.
This was very tempting to it, who was eager to develop its faction.
At the same time, because of this meeting, the owner of the fog learned about the future project that the ck shadow faction was vigorously promoting, the ck Death project.
This also nted a foreshadowing for it to nt a ¡°spy¡± in the core circle of the
Science and Technology Research Institute in the future.
Many of the points that he had found blurry before became clear at this moment.
Aplete timeline was formed in his mind.
However, he still had many doubts.
Especially regarding the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and
Technology Research Institute.
He had always thought thatpared to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Science and Technology Research Institute was much weaker.
At the very least, the ck shadow¡¯s faction could not control ckie, let alone disy its strength in the future.
Their presence in the future was almost nonexistent.
Inparison, the owner of the fog behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute could definitely be considered an overlord in the future 1,500 yearster.
After the Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique it developed was activated, it allowed the owner of the fog to enter a high-speed growth stage. As long as it was given enough time, its potential was limitless.
But there was something strange.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, as long as it was one where he went against the Science and Technology Research Institute, he could always make a huge change in the future.
However, no matter how the other timelines changed, they ended with the extinction of humanity.
Logically speaking, the influence of the Science and Technology Research Institute should not be enough to have such a huge impact on the future.
How could he change the future by resisting the Science and Technology Research Institute?
After careful thought, he felt that this might not be a coincidence. Instead, the Science and Technology Research Institute really did have a huge impact on the future.
At this thought, a guess appeared in his mind.
The Science and Technology Research Institute was actually not as simple as he thought. If he did not suppress it, it would definitely be an influential force in the future.
Judging from the current information,
the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute can only be considered a new faction. It was established in recent years by the defected nsmen of the Spiritual Energy Race.
The exact time could be deduced from Le Ping¡¯an¡¯s memories. It had only been about 20 years.
When Le Ping¡¯an¡¯s parents were bewitched, he was probably only four or five years old.
Therefore, he was certain that the Science and Technology Research Institute becamepletely infiltrated in these 20 years.
Compared to the huge domain factions that had been lurking in human society for countless years, it was not an exaggeration to say that the ck shadow¡¯s faction was an emerging faction.
He could not help but guess.
Perhaps the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute had extremely high potential for growth in the future.
Choosing to overthrow the Science and Technology Research Institute in his sacrifice timeline was equivalent to stopping the rise of this force in advance.
This also had a greater impact on the future.
It gave human civilization a period of respite from the destruction.
This might be the reason why he managed to interact with people of the future in the sacrifice timeline where he resisted the Science and Technology
Research Institute.
Feng Qi had no way of knowing the exact truth.
However, he felt that his guess was very close to the truth. At least, there was nothing wrong with the logic.
He realized that the process of understanding the truth was to constantly correct his wrong perception.
When he first misunderstood that the Scarlet Research Institute was a domain power, he thought that it secretly controlled the entire world and secretly captured humans for experiments.
And that the list of geniuses was actually an assassination name list.
Reality proved that the Scarlet Research Institute had always been on the side of humans.
The living humans who had been transformed were all experimenters who had volunteered to participate in the rune transformation. Their goal was to transform into domain creatures and enter the domain world to find the source of transportation.
Following that, as he learned the truth of the world step by step, he also ranked the threat level of various domain factions in his heart.
He ranked the Science and Technology Research Institute at the bottom. However, from the looks of it, the influence of the not-so-strong technology research institute in the future would be very terrifying.
This was a domain faction with extremely high growth potential. At the very least, the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute was definitely not weaker than the Tiger Soul Research Institute controlled by the owner of the the fog.
If they could control ckie, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Science and Technology Research Institute was the strongest faction among all the known domain factions.
Fortunately, ckie was uncontroble.
At the thought of this, he suddenly remembered that in the intelligence he had learned, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had developed an anti-control instrument.
Back then, he suspected that this anti-control device was the reason why ckie went out of control.
It was also one of the ns of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to secretly target the Science and Technology Research Institute.
As for the truth, he did not know for the time being.
He only hoped that he could live long enough in this timeline so that he could find out more truths and secrets from the owner of the fog.
¡ö¡öWhat do you think? Should we infiltrate a research institute to serve ourselves?¡±
Realizing that Feng Qi did not respond, the owner of the fog spoke again. Feng Qi, whose thoughts had been interrupted, came back to his senses. Looking at the puzzled owner of the fog, he pondered for a moment and said, ¡®¡öThat¡¯s a good idea, but it¡¯s not easy to infiltrate the research institute. There¡¯s nock of powerful experts among humans. If we take a wrong step, it¡¯s very likely to bring about a series of dangers. We have to n this carefully before taking action..¡±

Chapter 452: Fog¡¯s Infiltration (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Of course, we have to n carefully, but the n to infiltrate the research institute is definitely feasible. On the way back, I¡¯ve been thinking about which research institute to infiltrate.¡¯
¡°So which one are you thinking about now?¡± Feng Qi asked.
The owner of the fog said,
¡°First of all, we definitely can¡¯t choose the research institutes in Former Days City After all, this area has already been infiltrated by the Spiritual Energy Race. I even suspect that the entire Former Days City might be controlled by it.
¡°Even if it has yet to fully control the city, we will definitely have to resist the Spiritual Energy Race if we develop here. It will be disadvantageous to our early development.
¡°Secondly, the research institutes in Winterfrost City are not my targets either. With my current strength, I¡¯m still not Mu Qing¡¯s match. Her Dawn Domain Combat Team is stationed in the supply area at the front line of Winterfrost City. She will definitely cooperate with the various research institutes. We might meet. The risk is too great. I give up.¡±
Hearing its analysis, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
¡°Continue with your analysis.¡±
The owner of the fog immediately nodded and said solemnly,
¡°We definitely can¡¯t choose the research institutes in Future City either. Future City is almostpletely controlled by the ck shadow¡¯s faction. With our current strength, it¡¯s impossible for us to be a match for them, so we definitely have to give that up.
¡°Right now, there are only two options in front of us. The first is Star City, and
the second is Victory City.¡±
Looking at Feng Qi, the owner of the fog continued,
¡°In terms of strength between these two cities, Victory City¡¯s overall strength is definitely above Star City. After all, the military strength of Victory City is the strongest in the five major cities. The Victory Research Institute and the Milky Way Research Institute in Victory City are also ranked among the top in the various research institutes¡ But in contrast, Victory City¡¯s management is the strictest in the major cities. It¡¯s quite risky to infiltrate the research institute there. If we fail, we might not even have a chance to escape.¡±
Feng Qi could not help but nod.
Victory City¡¯s overall strength was the strongest among the five major cities.
Before obtaining the ability to travel through the future, his dream was to enter the cultivation technique ss in Milky Way Academy in Victory City.
After graduation, he would join the Milky Way Research Institute to be a cultivation technique researcher or return to Star City to join the Tiger Soul
Research Institute.
Be it resource acquisition or influence, the benefits of choosing Victory City
were clearly the greatest.
The problem was that there were also many experts in Victory City.
They had even made everyone a warrior. If they were discovered during the infiltration of the Victory Research Institute, the consequences would be severe.
He agreed with the owner of the fog¡¯s analysis.
At this moment, it continued to analyze.
¡°Judging by the risks, I think Star City will be our best choice. At the same time, Star City¡¯s scientific research institutes are not weak, especially the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute. Their strength ispletelypatible with our needs.¡±
Feng Qi was stunned when he heard this.
He did not expect owner of the fog to even consider the Scarlet Research
Institute.
It continued,
¡°Actually, I prefer the Scarlet Research Institute now.
¡°On the way here, I used my authority to investigate this research institute and found that this is an independent special institute with many special privileges in Star City. Their research projects are even more mysterious. They publicize the least content to the public among the various city institutes. Such secrecy is more helpful for our development after infiltration. We won¡¯t be easily
exposed.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi shook his head inwardly.
If the owner of the fog really infiltrated the Scarlet Research Institute, sacrifice timeline would be useless.
Compared to the initial short-lived sacrifice timelines where he only used his
email to record contents,
now, he would have to read the memories to understand the entire process of
the sacrifice timeline.
For example, he could not record the contents of the mailbox at any time. Moreover, the owner of the fog was always by his side, so the risk of continuously using the mailbox was higher.
Therefore, reading memories was the best choice for the sacrifice timeline in
the future.
However, the prerequisite for reading the memories was to ensure the
existence of the Scarlet Research Institute.
The owner of the fog¡¯s idea of infiltrating the Scarlet Research Institute would undoubtedly cut off his escape route.
If it really seeded, his efforts on this sacrifice timeline would be useless. His other self would not be able to obtain the memory contents of this timeline.
He didn¡¯t know what made owner of the fog change its mind in the future and
not choose the Scarlet Research Institute.
However, if the owner of the fog did not change because of his influence,
the situation would bepletely out of control.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately said,
¡°Isn¡¯t there Tiger Soul Research Institute? Why don¡¯t you consider it?¡±
¡°Of course I¡¯ve considered it. This is a cultivation technique research institute. Its influence is far greater than the Scarlet Research Institute. It also controls many media channels in Star City that publish cultivation techniques. However,pared to the Scarlet Research Institute, this cultivation technique research institute is too high-profile. It¡¯s often the focus of Star City¡¯s attention.
¡°If we choose to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the changes inside will be magnified by the outside world. It might attract the attention of human experts. Byprehensiveparison, the Scarlet Research Institute is
clearly better.¡±
Hearing this analysis, Feng Qi opened his mouth but did not say anything else. Analyzing the pros and cons of the various research institutes from the perspective of the owner of the fog, the low-key and mysterious Scarlet Research Institute was indeed the best choice.
On careful thought, he realized that the Scarlet Research Institute was indeed too low-key.
It was also because it was too low-key that when it faced the suppression of the Science and Technology Research Institute in the future, it would not be able to fight back in public opinion.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was the one that could really influence public opinion in Star City.
Every year, all kinds of Tiger Soul cultivation techniquepetitions and concept contests were held. They would often release thetest information on cultivation technique research. They would even coborate with other cultivation technique research institutes to promote the innovation of the cultivation system.
Compared to the Scarlet Research Institute,
one was a celebrity research institute. It had a morous appearance and constantly released research information that made the outside world happy. One was a mysterious organization, and many people didn¡¯t even know what the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s scientific research projects were.
At the same time, the Scarlet Research Institute had never held a campus recruitment. The difficulty of entering it was several levels higher, and theyers of review before entering required a lot of time.
It waspletely understandable that influence of public opinion was weak in such a research institute.
But no matter what, Feng Qi decided that he had to change the owner of the fog¡¯s mind and make it give up on infiltrating the Scarlet Research Institute.
Its idea was simply attacking his own base while he was out.
If the Scarlet Research Institute was targeted, his viin timeline would be meaningless, he would lose everything.
Moreover, the Scarlet Research Institute wasn¡¯t something that the owner of
the fog can easily infiltrate.
It won¡¯t be able to get past Wei Wei.
After all, the Scarlet Research Institute focused on researching domain creatures. No matter how strong its disguise was, it would easily be exposed in the Scarlet Research Institute.
However, he did not say these words.
He nned to change the owner of the fog¡¯s mind bit by bit in the following time.
After chatting for a while, Feng Qi could tell that the it was determined to infiltrate an research institute. The initial infiltration concept had also taken shape in the discussion.
In the following days, the owner of the fog began to focus on improving his strength.
The spiritual resources transported from the humanoid resource bank became an important guarantee for it to do so.
During this period, the owner of the fog even held a memorial service in the manor.
It was a tribute to the warriors who had died on ck Absolute Ind. However, it only looked sad and grieving on the surface. In fact, its heart did not waver at all.
It was totally a formality meant as a show for the other warriors.
After settling the internal matters, the owner of the fog chose to cultivate in seclusion.
During this period, Feng Qi was not idle either. Other than dealing with the matters of thebat team every day, he would also take time out to undergo high-intensity physical training.
Even though he knew that he would definitely die on this sacrifice timeline, he had never thought of giving up on himself.
Sacrifice was his choice, but it did not mean that he was not a living life in this timeline. He also had his own thoughts and emotions.
This was his attitude.
Half a yearter.
After his usual morning training, Feng Qi arrived at themander¡¯s office.
He first made a pot of tea, then sat down at the desk and reached out to pick up the dailybat teams newspaper on the desk.
After spending half an hour reading, he opened his drawer and took out the tablet inside. He began to check thetest information about the front line of the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
However, when he saw one of the news, his expression changed.
There was a photo attached to the news.
He was no stranger to the object in it. It was the miracle, blood stone..
Chapter 453 - 453: Mu Qing Is Coming? (1)
Chapter 453: Mu Qing Is Coming? (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Looking at the image of the blood stone on the tablet, Feng Qi was stunned.
He was no stranger to blood stones.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, he was the deputymander of the Dawn Domain Combat Team. When Mu Qing formed Dawn¡¯s secondbat team, he received a request for an escort mission from the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
At that time, Mu Qing did not have time to participate in this escort operation.
Therefore, he personally led the warriors to the Former Days Eastern Supply Area and met the person in charge of the blood stone, Li Duo. He also learned about the magical effects of the blood stone in theboratory.
In the subsequent escort mission, he also discovered the secret that Wang Yi was the owner of the fog.
He also died during the escort mission in that sacrifice timeline.
At this thought, he suddenly realized something.
Could it be that he would meet Mu Qing during this escort mission?
He had chosen to join the Dawn Domain Combat Team in the previous sacrifice timeline, which had clearly changed part of Mu Qing¡¯s growth line.
He did not affect the Dawn Domain Combat Team on this sacrifice line, so there was a chance that Mu Qing would personallye and participate in the escort mission.
Moreover, the probability of Mu Qinging was very high.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, a super domain creature had appeared in thest segment of the battle for the blood stone.
Thebat strength sent by the various domain factions were not a match for the super domain creature altogether.
At that time, he had only barely opened a way out with the help of his mental body that had broken free from his body and the support of various domain forces.
From this, it could be seen that there was definitely an unknown force that could resist the super domain creature during the escort in the normal timeline.
Otherwise, the owner of fog, Li Xingchen, and the others would not have survived to the end.
After careful thought, he realized that it was most likely Mu Qing.
At this stage, the owner of the fog was still developing. It was impossible for it to be a match for the super domain creature.
Only Mu Qing, who had terrifyingbat strength, could be fearless against the threat of the super domain creature.
At the thought of this, Feng Qi felt a headache.
Meeting Mu Qing was definitely not a good thing. It might even affect his ns for this sacrifice timeline.
But if he had to see her, he had to think of an excuse in advance.
He could not let Mu Qing ruin his viin n.
At this moment, he fell into deep thought.
Three dayster.
At one in the morning, Feng Qi was still busy in themander¡¯s office.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open and immediately looked up.
¡°I¡¯m back.¡±
Looking at the owner of the fog who had ended its seclusion, Feng Qi asked curiously,
¡°How much resources did you use for your seclusion this time?¡±
¡°A third, but it will greatly increase my strength.¡±
¡°Use them sparingly. These resources will still be useful in the future. Recently, we¡¯ll be giving out a batch of pension funds. It¡¯ll be awkward if you use up all the resources.¡±
The owner of the fog came to the desk and sat down.
¡°I¡¯ve already saved a lot. If I really wanted to squander, I would have used up this batch of resources long ago¡ Indeed, I have to infiltrate a research institute as soon as possible. Only then will we have arge amount of resources to squander.¡±
¡°By the way, did anything major happen recently?¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he reached out to open the drawer and took out the tablet inside.
After awakening the interface, he reached out and tapped a few times, bringing up a piece of news in the collection folder.
Then, he handed the tablet to the confused owner of the fog.
It took the tablet and immediately began to scan the content.
Just like Feng Qi, its expression changed after seeing the picture of the blood stone.
¡°Is this a miracle divine item?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t guarantee. This blood stone was seized from a seriously injured blue-skinned creature that the ck g Domain Combat Team came across when they returned from an exploration mission.
¡°Because of its appearance, there are many undercurrents in the Former Days Eastern supply area. Many factions havee for this. There have already been several snatching incidents. Now, ourbat team has also mobilized a group of warriors to guard the recruitment hall area to protect the blood stone.¡±
After hearing Feng Qi¡¯s exnation, the owner of the fog fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a while, it looked up.
¡°How about this? I¡¯ll go to the recruitment hall tomorrow morning to observe the blood stone up close. If I confirm that it¡¯s a miracle divine item, we¡¯ll definitely have to participate.¡±
¡°If it¡¯s confirmed to be a miracle, what do you n to do?¡± Feng Qi immediately asked curiously.
¡°In the dead of night, transform into a fog and infiltrate the hall. Kill without being seen and take the miracle without leaving a trace.¡±
Looking at the smiling owner of the fog, Feng Qi felt ashamed.
The next morning, he apanied it to the recruitment hall.
Seeing the owner of the fog, the warriors sent by the variousbat teams on duty nearby did not stop it.
After entering the hall, they took the elevator down to the undergroundboratory.
They saw Li Duo, who was studying the blood stone. After somemunication, they saw the blood stone ced in theboratory.
After understanding the effects of the blood stone and observing it up close, the owner of the fog confirmed one thing.
The blood stone was a miracle.
When they returned to the manor, they began to discuss how to seize this blood stone.
The owner of the fog¡¯s idea was simple. In the dead of night, it would kill and rob.
Feng Qi did not reject this suggestion.
That morning, it took action.
Feng Qi stayed in themander¡¯s office to wait for news.
Time passed, and it was 6:10 in the morning. The office door was pushed open, and the owner of the fog returned.
¡°Failed?¡± Feng Qi asked curiously as he looked at the unhappy face.
¡°How unlucky. I didn¡¯t expect a few factions to have the same thoughts as me. We restrained one another, I couldn¡¯t take action at all.¡±
As it spoke, it came to the desk and sat down..
Chapter 454 - 454: Mu Qing Is Coming? (2)
Chapter 454: Mu Qing Is Coming? (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°What ns do you have now?¡± Feng Qi continued to ask.
He had already expected the owner of the fog to fail.
If it could seize the blood stone so easily, he would not have carried out the escort mission in the future.
¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Right now, all the domain forces want to snatch this blood stone, but this is our home ground after all. There¡¯s no hurry.¡±
As they chatted, they began to formte subsequent snatching ns.
In the next few days, the owner of the fog would go to theboratory under the recruitment hall from time to time to observe the situation of the blood stone to prevent it from being snatched away by other forces.
But soon, something happened that made the owner of the fog feel uncontroble.
Li Duo, who was in charge of studying the blood stone, decided to fly it back to the Former Days Research Institute.
In the owner of the fog¡¯s opinion, if the blood stone was really transported back to the Former Days Research Institute, it would be difficult to seize it again.
There was a high chance that it would fall into the hands of the Spiritual Energy Race.
In order to prevent the blood stone from being transported back, when the ne took off that day, it decisively transformed into a fog and followed. Before the transport ne could travel far from the airport, it was violently shot down by it.
Feng Qi was very surprised by this.
On the previous escort, Li Duo had told him that the blood stones could not be sent out of the supply area.
nes transporting it had also been shot down.
However, he did not expect it to be done by the owner of the fog.
This was how it exined it. It felt that it had to keep the blood stone in the supply area so that it would be within its control.
Once it left the supply area, the outside world was no longer be his home ground.
In the following days, undercurrents surged under the calm surface of the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
The various factions that knew of the existence of the blood stone were restless.
The recruitment hall had been attacked many times. Li Duo tried his best to transport the blood stone back to the Former Days City.
During this period, it also thought of an idea to snatch the blood stone.
It decided to use the power behind the Science and Technology Research Institute to help it do so.
When the reinforcements arrived, they would definitely use it as the core.
Applying for support from the Science and Technology Research Institute was equivalent to freebor.
Feng Qi expressed his support for this suggestion.
After the discussion, the owner of the fog immediately contacted the ck shadow¡¯s faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
After the ck shadow¡¯s faction learned that there was a miracle in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area, they decisively agreed to its request and prepared to mobilize their forces to support it.
However, as the variousbat teams were all carrying out missions at this Stage, they needed some time and would contact it and rush over as soon as possible.
The timeline was corrected again.
After learning this news, Feng Qi knew very well that thebat team sent to provide support would most likely be the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team, just like in the previous sacrifice timeline.
In fact, thebat strength of theWolf Devouring Domain Combat Team was not weak at all at this stage. It could be considered one of the topbat teams.
Back when he was in the sacrifice timeline, he had been able to take over thisbat team because its leaders had been mysteriously assassinated, leaving no one would take the position of Commander.
Only then did the ck shadow choose to recruit a new leader from the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
By the time he took over, thebat strength of the Wolf-Devouring Battle Group had already shrunk greatly. They no longer had top-notchbat strength.
After obtaining the assurance of the Science and Technology Research Institute, the owner of the fog began to discuss the subsequent n with Feng
They now had reinforcements, but it was still very difficult to snatch the blood stone.
Especially in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
There were many domainbat teams stationed here. In addition, there were hidden domain forces eyeing them covetously.
Unless one had thebat power to rival the entire supply area, it was impossible to obtain the blood stone.
If they wanted to seize the blood stone, they had to do it outside.
However, the problem was that the risk of doing so would increase greatly after leaving the supply area. It would be out of control.
As they pondered, the owner of the fog thought of a n.
It decided to personally apply to escort the blood stone to the Former Days and snatch it along the way.
With this thought in mind, it went to Li Duo, who was in charge of studying the blood stone.
Li Duo immediately expressed its gratitude for the owner of the fog¡¯s suggestion and said that he was also preparing to have a discussion with it about escorting the blood stone to the Former Days.
However, just as the owner of fog thought that the n was halfpleted¡
An ident happened.
The next day, Li Duo went to owner of the fog and told it a piece of news.
He had already sent out a request for a joint escort mission to several famousbat teams. Several of them had already responded and were on their way. After learning this news, the owner of the fog once again realized that the situation had gone out of control.
With multiplebat teams doing the escort, it was impossible for it to make decisions alone during the escort period.
If it wanted to seize the blood stone, it would have to see if the otherbat teams would agree.
However, the joint escort mission had already been initiated. Even if the owner
of the fog was helpless, it had no way to deal with it.
Two dayster.
In the manor of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team.
Feng Qi held a document and pushed open the door to themander¡¯s office.
When he arrived in front of the owner of the fog, he handed over the document in his hand.
¡°Eightbat teams have responded to the call. The situation is not optimistic.¡±
When the owner of the fog heard this, it immediately took the document and began to read it.
The document was marked with the few domainbat teams that had already responded to the call at this stage.
When the owner of the fog saw the Dawn Domain Combat Team listed among them, its pupils constricted.
¡°Should we give up? We might meet her,¡± Feng Qi asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog shook its head with a troubled look..
Chapter 455 - 455: Mu Qing Is Coming? (3)
Chapter 455: Mu Qing Is Coming? (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°I won¡¯t give up. Just because the Dawn Domain Combat Team epted the mission doesn¡¯t mean that she will definitelye. So many years has passed, even if shees, she might not recognize me.¡±
The owner of the fog yearned for the blood stone.
This desire was far stronger than the desire for the miracle bracelet back then.
It had the ability to control blood, so when it saw the blood stone in the undergroundboratory in the recruitment hall, he knew that this miracle was verypatible with itself.
Obtaining the blood stone and imnting it in its body was equivalent to giving it the ability to cultivate and grow automatically.
The blood stone that produced origin blood essence regrly could allow its strength to increase steadily.
Even if it did not do anything, its strength would improve every second.
If it could obtain the blood stone, it would be of great help to its future development and increase its chances of climbing to the peak in the future.
Facing the opportunity before, it felt that he had to give it a try even if it was risky.
Such an opportunity might onlye once in its life.
If it did not try, it would definitely regret it for the rest of its life.
Feng Qi came to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. He made himself a cup of tea and said with a serious expression,
¡°If Mu Qinges, coupled with the various factions hiding in the dark, how confident are you in seizing the blood stone?¡±
¡°As long as Mu Qing doesn¡¯t recognize me, I¡¯m 20% confident.¡±
¡°There¡¯s still 20%?¡± Feng Qi was stunned.
The owner of the fog nodded.
¡°When I went to theboratory, I discovered something. My blood control ability is also effective on the blood stone. If the battle falls into chaos, I might be able to find an opportunity to put the blood stone into my body.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say you might. This is risking your life.¡±
At this moment, the owner of the fog gritted its teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take a gamble. I might get a greater reward. I¡¯ll do it this time.¡±
Feng Qi immediately expressed his support for the owner of the fog¡¯s decision and smiled.
¡°Actually, I met Mu Qing a few times in Star City Academy. At that time, I really didn¡¯t know that her strength was so terrifying. She was too low-key in the academy.¡±
¡°You know her?¡± The owner of the fog asked curiously.
¡°I don¡¯t know her. I¡¯ve stayed at Star City Academy before, so I saw her a few times.¡±
He chose to ¡°unintentionally¡± say that he had seen Mu Qing before to condition the owner of the fog.
In the future, the authority obtained by the owner of the fog would be higher and higher.
ording to the established historical timeline, when the owner of the fog infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he would be able to obtain arge amount of authorized information.
At that time, they would definitely know that he had stayed in Star City Academy before.
This time, when he mentioned himself that he had seen Mu Qing, it seemed to be unintentional, but it was actually a precaution.
The owner of the fog would not be suspicious if it suddenly learned this information in the future.
¡°What kind of person was she in Star City Academy? Why didn¡¯t you tell me this before?¡± The owner of the fog asked curiously.
¡°Girls change entirely when they grow up. At that time, she lookedpletely different from now. Besides, I¡¯m not very familiar with her. We¡¯re just passersby.¡±
After listening to his exnation, the owner of the fog nodded and did not probe further.
Next, they began to discuss the details of this escort mission.
Their only advantage now was that
the mission was initiated by the Former Days Eastern Supply Area. With the home ground advantage, as the leader of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team, the owner of the fog would undoubtedly be the overallmander of this joint escort mission.
After obtaining the authority tomand, there would be more room for him to use it.
He could create conditions that were beneficial to him.
Everything was ready now. They were only waiting for the escort mission to begin..
Chapter 456 - 456: Meeting
Chapter 456: Meeting
Trantor: As Studios | Editor: As Studios
Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
In the manor of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team. Before dawn, Feng Qi had already washed up and left the residence. Today, he did not undergo high-intensity physical training as usual. Instead he went straight to themander¡¯s office.
Pushing open the door, he saw the owner of the fog flipping through the today¡¯s news onbat teams.
He came to the desk and sat down. He looked at the owner of the fog and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a meeting this morning? When do you n to leave?¡± The owner of the fog looked up with a smile.
¡°I¡¯m ready to set off now. You don¡¯t have toe with me. Stay behind and organize thebat preparations for the escort mission.¡±
Alright. Feng Qi agreed without hesitation.
After chatting for a while, it was seven in the morning.
At this moment, the owner of the fog stood up and left themander¡¯s office, heading to the recruitment hall for a meeting.
It was themander-in-chief of this joint escort mission.
At this meeting, it needed to exin the situation to thebat teams who were participating in the mission.
After it left, Feng Qi came to themander¡¯s seat and sat down.
After some thought, he took out a cell phone from his backpack.
He cleared the fingerprint lock, facial recognition, voice recognition¡ Finally the cell phone interface appeared.
This cell phone was specially used to contact the Scarlet Research Institute. There were a total of two systems inside.
If unlocked it with his thumb at the beginning, it would enter the normal interface.
If he unlocked it with his index finger, he would enter the second encrypted interface that he could use to contact the Scarlet Research Institute.
He opened the contact list and dialed Wei Wei¡¯s number.
After waiting for a while, the call went through. Wei Wei¡¯s familiar voice came from the other end.
Next, Feng Qi exined to Wei Wei in detail what he had encountered in the days after leaving the Scarlet Research Institute.
A few hourster, he hung up and opened the contact list again.
He found the ¡°Brain Guard¡± contact and dialed it.
After waiting for a long time, the call was picked up, but there was no sound from the other end.
Feng Qi said,
¡°Where are you now?¡±
In response to his question, an aged voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°The Ans Hotel in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area. It is not far from the manor of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team where you are. We can arrive in ten minutes at the earliest.¡±
¡°Do you know about thetest joint escort operation?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already obtained relevant information, including the information you left behind at the Scarlet Research Institute. I basically understand what happened¡ Are you going to participate in this operation again?¡± Feng Qi nodded and said,
¡°There¡¯s a high chance that I¡¯ll participate in this operation. If anything happens during this period, be prepared to pick up my brain.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if I have to give up my old life, I will send your brain back to Scarlet.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±
¡°This is our mission. Everything is to create our ideal future. We will be your staunchpanions.¡±
¡°Thank you very much.¡±
Feng Qi hung up at this moment.
The reason he made this call was to get the team guarding the brain to be prepared in advance.
This operation was filled with danger. The owner of the fog could not even take care of itself. It was very likely that he would die midway.
He could not avoid death, but he needed to preserve his brain as much as possible.
The information he had told Wei Wei was only a part of his experience.
If he really wanted to share all the details, three days and three nights would not be enough.
He still had to rely on reading memories.
It was noon, but the owner of the fog had yet to return.
Feng Qi picked up the phone and called themanders of the variousbat teams.
After lunch that afternoon, the warriors were fully armed and gathered in the center of the manor.
After themanders of the various teams reported the situation, Feng Qi began to give a series of orders.
The escort mission was about to begin. Thebat teams needed to coordinate supplies in advance, carry out equipment inspection, maintenance, and so on. It was to make sufficient preparations for the uing joint escort operation. After the captains of the various teams led the warriors to get busy Feng Qi walked towards the armory and prepared to check on the maintenance.
Recruitment hall.
Conference room.
In the blue and white decorated space, there was arge round table made of metal.
There were a total of 30 seats.
After waiting for the entire morning, almost allbat teams participating in this joint operation had arrived.
There were a total of 15bat teams, many of which had specially rushed over from other frontline supply areas.
Li Duo, who was sitting at the front, looked at his watch and then looked at everyone present.
¡°Xiao Hu called me from the airport. The members of the Dawn Domain Combat Team have arrived. They rushed over as soon as they finished their mission. Everyone, please be patient.¡±
Hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions remained the same.
They were already used to such situations. Sometimes, urgent joint missions were like this.
Manybat teams would hurriedly rush off to the next mission when they had just returned to thebase.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Mu Qing, who was wearing a white battle suit, arrived.
After entering, her gaze swept across everyone present.
Her gaze focused on the owner of the fog.
She felt that this person¡¯s aura seemed a little familiar.
However, she could not remember where she had seen him before.
The masked owner of the fog immediately felt a terrifying pressure sweep over, but this pressure paused for a moment before dissipating.
The owner of the fog was even mentally prepared to forcefully break out and escape.
The first stage to clear in seizing the blood stone was Mu Qing.
If Mu Qing recognized it, there was no need to continue with the subsequent n.
As for the identity of ¡°Wang Yi¡±, he naturally had to abandon it.
Compared to its own life, everything seemed to be less important.
Fortunately, Mu Qing only looked at it for a short while and quickly looked away.
Sweat dripped from its forehead as it pretended to be calm.
¡°Commander Mu, you¡¯rete.¡±
¡°Apologies, I just finished the previous mission and saw the emergency request
for help. Sorry to keep everyone waiting.¡±
Mu Qing had lost her childishness. The adorable look on her face was no longer there, and her body radiated confidence.
Years of living on the front line had made her mature and steady.
The nurturing of blood and fire made her iparably powerful mentally.
She expressionlessly went to the empty seat and sat down. Then, she looked at Li Duo, who was sitting at the front.
¡°Supervisor Li, let¡¯s begin.¡±
When Li Duo heard this, he immediately nodded and pressed the button on the conference table.
Immediately, a virtual image projected from the center of the conference table, and the appearance of a blood stone appeared.
Next, he began to exin the origin and effects of the blood stone in detail as well as the series of snatching incidents after its appearance.
After an hour of narration, Li Duo stood up and said with a solemn expression, ¡°Everyone, this blood stone can even affect the development of our human civilization. I beg you here to send the blood stone to the Former Days City.¡± ¡°Next is the n of the escort operation. Commander-in-chief Wang Yi will exin it to everyone in detail.¡±
With that, Li Duo returned to his seat.
At this moment, the owner of the fog stood up.
After ncing at Mu Qing, it began to talk about the escort n it had drawn up.
When it saw Mu Qing arrive, it already realized that the difficulty seizing the
blood stone during this escort had greatly increased.
However, it was notpletely impossible.
What it needed was to create chaos and muddy the waters.
Only chaos could give it a chance to absorb the blood stone into its body.
Therefore, in terms of route nning, it would naturally set up the route wherever there was a chance for a chaotic battle.
During the discussion, Mu Qing did not say anything.
The othermanders would express their opinions from time to time and
have discussions to modify the routes.
After several hours of discussion, the meeting was adjourned.
After walking out of the meeting room, the owner of the fog was about to return to the manor when a voice stopped it from behind.
¡°Commander Wang Yi.¡±
It slowly turned around at this moment.
When it saw Mu Qing standing behind him with a smile, its expression instantly froze.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± It pretended to be calm.
¡°Commander Wang Yi, have we ever cooperated in a previous joint operation?¡±
¡°No.¡± The owner of the fog¡¯s tone was calm, and there was no sign of nervousness.
¡°I made a mistake. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mu Qing nodded and apologized.
Looking at its back as it turned around and left, a hint of doubt appeared in Mu Qing¡¯s eyes.
The aura on Wang Yi¡¯s body made her feel like she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn¡¯t remember where.
After thinking for a moment, she stopped thinking and left the recruitment hall.
Two dayster.
Today was the day the escort mission began.
Before dawn, Feng Qi and the owner of the fog had already gathered the members of thebat teams and started to transport supplies and equipment.
After busying themselves for a long time, with the order of the owner of the fog, the warriors set off towards the za of the recruitment hall.
Along the way.
Looking at the owner of the fog who was already wearing a mask, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
He thought about yesterday¡¯s meeting.
In the words of the owner of the fog, the entire meeting was a false rm.
It was tense the entire time and was prepared to escape at any time. It even thought of abandoning everything here and starting over again.
Fortunately, Mu Qing did not recognize it, who was wearing a mask. It could also be said that Mu Qing did not remember his aura back then. This was undoubtedly good news.
At the very least, the n to seize the blood stone could continue. It would not end prematurely before it began.
But now, there was another problem that made Feng Qi uneasy.
How should he face Mu Qing?
He could actually choose not to participate in the joint escort operation.
This way, he could avoid meeting Mu Qing and reduce the risk of death during the escort mission.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to apany the owner of the fog.
This joint escort operation might have changed because of his appearance He could not guarantee that thetter would survive this crisis.
Of course, he was not confident that he could protect it.
However, at the very least, if he gave it his all and even fought at the price of abandoning his physical body, he could still create conditions for it to survive. The owner of the fog¡¯s value was divided into three aspects.
If he did not die, neither would it. In the future, he would be able to follow it infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute and learn many historical secrets.
If he died and Fog did not, the n would switch to Lin Ran possessing thetter.
In the future, the owner of the fog could be hisbat strength to seize the abilities of domain creatures.
Or perhaps, get Lin Ran to give up on possession in this timeline and face the owner of the fog directly.
Given his rtionship with the owner of the fog, he would definitely be able to learn a lot of secrets.
Perhaps 1,500 yearster, the owner of the fog had already relied on its own efforts to learn many secrets. These secrets were very valuable to him.
In short, no matter what, he could die, but the owner of the fog could not. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would undoubtedly be in vain. Whether he died or not, the owner of the fog had corresponding value. Therefore, even if he had to risk his life, he had to ensure its survival and create favorable information or value for his other self.
While in thought, he arrived at the square in front of the recruitment hall. Military vehicles that had arrived early had already lined up neatly and gathered in the square.
Feng Qi was also wearing a ck iron mask like the warriors of the Death Star Domain Combat Team Group. He did not stand out in the battle formation. However, he was still a little worried that Mu Qing would recognize him. At this thought, he turned to look in the direction of the Dawn Domain Combat Team.
At this moment, Mu Qing, who was chatting with the variousmanders in the distance, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned to look at him.
After briefly looking at each other, a trace of doubt appeared on Mu Qing¡¯s face.
Chapter 457 - 457: Battle for the Blood Stone (1)
Chapter 457: Battle for the Blood Stone (1)

Just as Feng Qi thought that Mu Qing had seen through his identity, she looked
away.
Seeing this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
It was best if he did note into contact with Mu Qing as much as possible.
Otherwise, it might affect the development of this viin timeline.
At this moment, the owner of the fog left the team and went to meet up with themanders of the variousbat teams.
After chatting for a while and checking that all their members were gathered, the owner of the fog gave the order to set off.
The warriors who received the order boarded the military vehicles.
Feng Qi also followed it to the military vehicle containing the blood stone.
Then, the convoy set off from the square in front of the recruitment hall in the Former Days Supply Area and drove towards the main road to the Former Days City ording to the route they had previously nned.
After several hours of traveling, the convoy left the supply area and arrived at the main road.
On both sides was an uninhabited desert. A winding road connected to the
horizon.
The military vehicle Feng Qi was on was in the center of the convoy, protected by the convoys of the variousbat teams.
His perspective in the escort this time waspletely different from before.
In the previous escort mission, he was in charge of guarding the left rear of the convoy and corresponding with Qin Shikong on the right rear.
This time, he directly stood in the center of the convoy.
His goal had also changed from escorting the blood stone to seizing it.
He looked at the blood stone covered by the ck cloth in front of him and looked at the owner of the fog standing at the side.
¡°Fog, don¡¯t you have the ability to absorb blood stones? How confident do you think you are in escaping if we attack now?
¡°There¡¯s a high chance that we¡¯ll die. We¡¯re now in the center of the convoy.
Where can we run to if I absorb the blood stone now?
¡°Moreover, Mu Qing from the Dawn Domain Combat Team is on the left front.
There¡¯s no possibility of escape. We can only wait for the situation to turn chaotic and take the opportunity to absorb it before escaping.¡±
After hearing its, Feng Qi immediately nodded and looked to the left front where the Dawn Domain Combat Team was.
At this moment, Mu Qing was standing alone on the top of the truck of the looking ahead.
As if sensing something, she turned to look at Feng Qi.
After briefly exchanging nces, Feng Qi decisively lowered his head.
For the next three hours, the convoy traveled at a uniform speed. There were no unexpected incidents during that period.
At this moment, smoke and dust billowed in the west.
Arge convoy was quickly approaching the escort team.
The owner of the fog raised themunicator in its hand and said in a low
voice,
¡°Allbat teams, pay attention to the situation. Be prepared to fight at any
time.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.
He didn¡¯t need to think to know that the approaching convoy was definitely the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team sent by the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The owner of the fog had only given the order to prepare for battle as a pretense for the otherbat teams to see.
Just as he had expected, after this convoy approached, they sent members to make contact and exined that they were the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team that hade to provide support.
After hearing this news, the owner of the fog decisively let them join the escort team.
The otherbat teams were puzzled by this, but they did not probe further. After all, ¡°she¡± was themander-in-chief of this joint escort operation. She was fully in charge of the arrangements.
After the convoy changed their formation, they continued forward.
There were not many green nts in the desert on both sides of the main road. It was a deste scene. Along the way, animal bones appeared.
After looking at such an environment for a long time, one would more or less feel visual fatigue.
After another two hours of traveling, they arrived at the Former Days Supply Bridge.
¡°Are we going to take action?¡± Looking at the supply bridge in the distance, Feng Qi turned to look at the owner of the fog.
It nodded.
-The ones taking action on the bridge are the warriors recruited by the Science and Technology Research Institute from the alliance of weak domain races. They were deployed here in advance. It¡¯s just a probing operation. We don¡¯t expect to snatch the blood stone. We¡¯ll act ording to the situation.¡±
Feng Qi nodded and turned to look at the distant bridge.
This bridge was built when the Eastern Supply Area was established near the sea. Below it was a turbulent river that flowed east into the sea.
At this moment, the convoy drove onto the bridge.
Nothing unexpected happened when they drove through the first section of the bridge.
However, as the convoy approached the center of the supply bridge, a rough male voice sounded from themunicator.
¡°I sensed arge number of life auras under the bridge. Prepare for battle.¡±
As soon as it finished speaking, cracks appeared on the bridge. A ck light pierced through the cracks and quickly erged in the air, turning into a ck curtain.
However, before the ck curtain could fall,bat teams in front took action.
A scarlet streak of saber energy soared into the sky and shattered the ck curtain.
¡°All groups are responsible for the safety of their respective areas. Continue forward without interfering with one another,¡± the owner of the fog ordered at this moment.
As countless ck figures pounced from both sides of the bridge, the battle officially began.
Compared to Feng Qi¡¯s memories, the owner of the fog was much more cautious in this escort mission.
In his memory of the sacrifice timeline, it had briefly took action during the bridge segment, wanting to cooperate with the recruited weak domain races to snatch the miracle blood stone.
Its acting skills were extremely bad. It could even be said that it was toozy to act.
But this time, the owner of the fog did not act.
He did not need to think to know the reason. It must be because Mu Qing was too intimidating.
It did not fear the threat of other battle groups, but it was extremely afraid of Mu Qing.
The feeling of suffocation when its origin life core ruptured was still fresh in its mind after so many years..
Chapter 458 - 458: Battle for the Blood Stone (2)
Chapter 458: Battle for the Blood Stone (2)

It usually imed that it would kill her with its own hands sooner orter, but when it really met her, it was terrified.
in his eyes, the owner of the fog had really been traumatized by Mu Qing.
The battle on the bridgested for a short period of time. During this time, the owner of the fog also participated in the battle and killed the domain races who crawled out of the cracks of the bridge.
It was a probing attack to begin with. It had never thought of snatching the blood stone here.
As for the lives of the warriors of the alliance, it didn¡¯t care at all. If it killed them, so be it.
After the battle ended, the owner of the fog immediately gave an order to count
the casualties.
After a short rest, the variousbat teams reported the situation to it.
in the battle on the supply bridge, only three warriors in the entire escort team suffered light injuries. There were no casualties.
The convoy continued on its way.
Along the way, there were gradually more green nts and many animals.
At this moment, Feng Qi opened the navigation map and realized that they were only two and a half hours away from the cliff canyon of the previous chaotic battle.
From the map, it could be seen that the canyon was the best ce tounch an ambush.
upying the cliffs on both sides in advance would form a strategic advantage.
This was also one of the main reasons why the chaotic battle happened in the canyon in the end. Many domain forces lying in ambush in other areas along the way had even rushed over because of the battle there.
The ambush points at the various checkpoints along the way finally turned into
a chaotic battle in the canyon.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi prepared himself.
If there was a battle in the canyon, he would release his mental power and
protect the owner of the fog¡¯s life no matter what.
It was 5 p.m.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.
At this moment, the convoy drove into the canyon.
On both sides were towering cliffs, and an asphalt road ran through the entire canyon in the center.
After the vehicles drove into the canyon, the owner of the fog immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.
This was because he had already sensed arge amount of life forces in the
canyon.
The blood and Qi within a radius of several kilometers was as clear as amp in
the night to him.
Moreover, it could also detect the strength of the enemy¡¯s blood and Qi with its perception.
Realizing that there was an ambush ahead, the convoy began to shrink the encirclement and speed up.
However, soon, some factions could not take it anymore and took the lead to attack after the convoy entered the middle of the canyon.
Feng Qi looked up at the sky as themander of thebat team in front of him shouted through themunicator.
A blue pir of light flew into the air, and then it exploded. Countless blue arrows fell on the convoy like meteors.
The power of this rain of blue Spiritual Qi arrows was extraordinary.
Afternding, they would be explode. Soon, the forest on both sides was ignited by the Spiritual Qi arrows.
The warriors of the variousbat teams used their consciousness to outline the trajectory of spells and formed a Spiritual Qi barrier above the convoy to resist the invasion of the dense rain.
Amidst the raging mes and dust, the convoy continued to advance at high speed.
The process was like walking through a minefield. Dense explosions kept sounding in their ears.
The road ahead was also riddled with holes, and the military vehicles were bumped up and down.
Not long after, arge number of figures appeared from the bushes by the cliff.
The night was hazy, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
They crashed straight into the advancing trucks.
At this moment, a warrior condensed Spiritual Qi and threw out an energy ball used to illuminate.
In front of their eyes was a group of domain creatures covered in firm muscles. They were nearly three meters tall and had bull horns on their heads.
They knocked down several trucks in front of them with their bodies and blocked the convoy¡¯s path.
Seeing this, Feng Qi already realized that the battle was about to begin.
The environment of this section of the cliff canyon was veryplicated. Once the convoy was stopped, the various factions would rush over from the original ambush locations and join the battle.
As time passed, the battle here would only be more and more intense.
¡ö¡¯Fog, calm down and don¡¯t be rash. Greed will kill you. Well act ording to the situation.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t joke around with my life.¡± The owner of the fog immediately nodded and promised.
Just as Feng Qi had expected.
After this group of domain creatures with bull horns on their foreheads blocked the convoy¡¯s path, another wave of domain factions quickly arrived.
Immediately after, more and more domain factions joined the battle.
Feng Qi decisively pulled the owner of the fog back. If it stayed beside the blood stone now, he would definitely be the target of focused attacks.
Right now, the battle was not chaotic. The focus of the various factions was on the blood stone. Whoever took the blood stone would definitely die.
The only opportunity to snatch the blood stone and leave safely was when a super domain faction appeared.
At that time, the various domain forces wanted to protect their lives and were not in the mood to pay attention to the blood stone.
As time passed, more and more domain forces appeared.
With a rough nce, Feng Qi realized that at least eight domain factions had joined the battle.
Among them, there were also domain battle groups that revealed their desire for the blood stone. They also joined in the fight.
Feng Qi pulled the owner of the fog to the back of the convoy.
Looking at the restless figure, he immediately said,
¡°Don¡¯t be rash. Watch the battle first.¡±
-We can¡¯t wait anymore. The situation is already very chaotic. There¡¯s nock of people from various factions who have mastered spatial jump and escape techniques. The blood stone will be snatched away in an instant..¡±

Feng Qi could understand the owner of the fog¡¯s thoughts.
Back then, he had watched the entire battle in the canyon. Indeed, many domain factions had mastered the ability to instantly leave the battlefield.
This was also the reason why the various domain forces did not dare to be careless at all. Even if they had to risk their lives, they had to join the chaotic situation.
They felt that if they hesitated for even a moment, the blood stone would be easily taken away by others.
It was not foolish to risk their lives at this point. They just wanted to seize the opportunity to get their hands on the blood stone.
The owner of the fog clearly had the same thought. It said,
¡°If you hesitate, you¡¯ll lose. I¡¯m going.¡±
¡°Go your a*s. Let¡¯s wait a little longer. Now that the various factions are restraining one another, even if they have the spatial jump ability, it won¡¯t be easy to take away the blood stone.¡± Feng Qi decisively chose to reject it.
Faced with Feng Qi¡¯s persuasion, the owner of the fog could only grit its teeth and say,
¡°I¡¯ll listen to you.¡±
Hearing the owner of the fog agree, he turned his gaze to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing did not rush to the core area to fight for the blood stone. She chose to stay where she was with the Dawn warriors.
Feng Qi could understand her actions.
Back then, he and Qin Shikong did the same.
Seeing the strange behavior of the domainbat teams that participated in this operation, she was already suspicious.
She was clearly observing which ones were problematic.
He did not pay much attention. Afraid that Mu Qing would sense it, he decisively turned his gaze to the core area of the battlefield.
At this moment, more and more domain forces had rushed over from all directions and joined the battle for the blood stone.
Under the night sky, the canyon was illuminated by various spells and abilities.
The scene was more beautiful than any fireworks.
However, beneath the splendor was naked cruelty.
Life on the battlefield was like a wooden boat in the turbulent sea, ready to be overturned at any moment.
The battlested for a few hours. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon had been leveled, and the intensity of the battle kept increasing.
During this period, the blood stone was almost seized several times.
However, under the obstruction of the other factions, they did not seed in the end.
The scenes made the owner of the fog¡¯s heart skip a beat.
Especially when it saw a certain domain creature stepping almost fully into the spatial passageway with the blood stone. It was just a little bit away from leaving safely.
The owner of the fog¡¯s heart was trembling.
¡°Stay here. I¡¯ll go get the blood stone. I¡¯ll be careful.¡±
Finally, when Feng Qi was caught off guard, it could not hold it in anymore and rushed to the battlefield.
Seeing it leave, Feng Qi cursed inwardly
Protecting the owner of the fog was the most important thing. He decisively ran towards the core of the battle.
At this moment, he deeply understood a principle.
Greed drove people mad, and madness brought death.
The current owner of the fog clearly wanted to use its life to fight for a chance of obtaining the blood stone.
After being together for so long, he clearly knew the obsession in its heart.
It wanted to revive his nsmen, but it was more or less confused about the future.
In the words of the owner of the fog, there were many fellows like it, but most of them had be stepping stones for others to advance.
There was a high chance that it would die on the path to the peak.
Therefore, Feng Qi understood how tempting the blood stone was to it.
This was a chance to change its fate.
As long as it had the miracle blood stone, it would have an entry pass to climb the highest peak.
But just as Feng Qi was about to approach the core circle, a beautiful figure blocked his path.
¡°Ah Qi!¡±
Before he could see the figure in front of him clearly, he felt a weight lift off his face and the ck iron mask was taken off..

Looking at Mu Qing, who was standing in front of him with a ck iron mask in her hand, Feng Qi felt awkward.
He did not expect Mu Qing to still recognize him
Indeed, unlike in television dramas, wearing a mask could not disguise one¡¯s identity.
At this thought, he immediately cast his gaze at the owner of the fog in the near distance.
Fortunately, it had already charged into the outer circle of the core area of the battle. Its attention waspletely focused on the miracle blood stone and he did not notice the situation here at all.
Otherwise, he would really have no way to exin this.
¡°Ah Qi, why are you here?¡±
Looking at the awkward Feng Qi, Mu Qing¡¯s face was filled with confusion.
Actually, she had already noticed Feng Qi in the square in front of the recruitment hall.
While the scarlet rune crystal gave her terrifying physical fitness, it also gave her many strange abilities.
One of them was aura recognition.
This ability was very special. She could acutely see the emotions and aura of others.
For example, someone wanted to kill her.
She would instantly sense the killing intent.
This ability was called aura perception.
Joy, anger, killing intent, sorrow, despair¡ Every emotion could produce a unique aura change. She could rely on these auras to roughly determine what others were thinking.
This ability allowed her to urately predict the enemy¡¯s next move when facing them.
Especially when the enemy was feinting, it would be very easy for her to catch the w.
A portion of herbat awareness also came from this ability.
When she met the owner of the fog in the recruitment hall, she felt a familiar aura.
This familiar aura was not produced from her heart.
It was what she sensed from the owner of the fog, and there was a hint of suppressed fear mixed in it.
That was why she approached ¡°Wang Yi¡± and asked if they had ever participated in a joint operation mission together.
When she met Feng Qi in the square in front of the recruitment hall, she also sensed a ¡°familiar¡± emotional aura from him.
Feng Qi looked at her as if he was looking at a familiar person.
Moreover, his aura revealed a trace of retreat.
This piqued her curiosity.
She had never interacted with the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team before, so why did themander, Wang Yi, and the deputymander seem to know her?
With doubts, she observed Wang Yi and Feng Qi from time to time along the way.
However, just now, when the owner of the fog rushed to the core of the battle, Feng Qi emitted a very familiar aura.
That was an aura of determination.
At that time, Feng Qi thought that even if he had to risk his life, he had to protect its life.
A simr situation had happened at thekeside of Star City Academy back then.
That summer night, when she asked Feng Qi what his future path was, Feng Qi answered this question with a hint of determination that she had not forgotten until now.
It was a determination to risk his life to give it a try even if there were difficulties and dangers ahead.
Ever since then, she had never doubted Feng Qi¡¯s determination to lead humanity to rise.
Even if the current Feng Qi was no longer carried dazzling, nor was he the peerless genius that was praised by the world back then,
she still believed that Feng Qi had not given up on his ideals and was still on the path to them.
The aura of Feng Qi with his mask on earlier put a familiar figure in her mind.
She had not been able to contact this figure for a long time. He would often only appear in her memories and diary.
At this moment, she sensed a familiar aura again. She could not help but decide to find out for herself!
Hence, she came in front of Feng Qi and reached out to take off the mask on his face.
Just as she thought, it was indeed him under the ck iron mask.
Star City Academy¡¯s graduation party that year was theirst gathering.
Looking at Feng Qi¡¯s familiar face, Mu Qing could not help but be stunned.
The past surged and echoed in her mind.
In the end, Feng Qi, who had a confident smile on his face, ovepped with the Feng Qi in front of her.
She suddenly realized that it had been eight years.
Looking at the shocked Feng Qi in front of her, she was about to continue asking when her gaze turned to the battlefield.
At this moment, in the chaotic battlefield, the mask on the owner of the fog¡¯s face was shattered, revealing its purple eyes.
It also transformed part of its body into fog and dashed towards the core of the battle.
Mu Qing recognized its identity.
The aura on the owner of the fog had changed a littlepared to before, but she still remembered.
That year, after graduating from Star City Academy, she devoted herself to the frontline.
The first intelligent domain creature she fought was the purple-eyed, purple-haired youth in the Silent Domain Field.
The ability to transform into gray fog especially, was still deeply etched in her mind.
Combined with these characteristics, she recognized the owner of the fog.
However, many doubts immediately arose in her heart.
Why was Feng Qi with the owner of the fog?
Wasn¡¯t he conducting cultivation technique research in the Scarlet Research Institute? What was he doing here?
She had sensed something unusual from the moment the convoy was attacked for the first time by a domain faction on the bridge.
There were three roads from the Former Days Eastern Supply Area to the Former Days City. Other than the main path, detours had to be taken for the two others.
The domain faction chose to set up an ambush on the main supply bridge. She could think that this domain faction might have set up an ambush on all three roads.
However, only themanders of thebat team who was participating in this escort mission knew the route.
Yet the time and ce were all known by the domain factions, so it was a little unusual.
She had reason to suspect that a mole had appeared in this joint mission.
Therefore, after the battle on the supply bridge ended, she began to observe the abnormality in the joint operation team and tried to analyze who was the mole.
However, when the convoy arrived at the canyon, she realized that her guess was wrong.
It was not that there was a spy, but that almost all the people who participated in this operation were spies.
The only ones she couldn¡¯t see through were Commander Wang Yi and Qin Shikong of the Sky Pir Domain Combat Team.
When the battle for the blood stone broke out, bothbat teams chose to retreat far away and did not participate in the battle.
She could not tell the positions of these two forces.
As for thebat teams that participated in the battle for the blood stone, she initially thought that there were ally factions among them.
But soon, she didn¡¯t think so.
Their desperate struggle for the blood stone was filled with greed and hysteria.
It was obvious that they wanted the blood stone. None of them acted like an escort at all.
More importantly, a few of thebat teams actually chose to cooperate with domain forces to fight for the blood stone. Some warriors even revealed obvious biological characteristics of domain creatures.
She, who had wanted to participate in the battle, decisively held back.
She realized that thesebat teams were actually controlled by domain forces. There were even domain creatures within them.
However, guesses were guesses. She ultimately needed concrete evidence. Otherwise, she would not attack her own kind.
Therefore, she chose to watch the battle. During this period, she began to distinguish between friend and foe.
She memorized the names of thesebat teams.
During the hours of fighting, she had already identified domain creatures in six of the teams, and the rest had yet to be analyzed.
After all, the life characteristics of some domain creatures were very simr to humans.
Unless one examined it carefully, it was difficult to judge.
Some of them even had the ability to disguise themselves. They hid some of their vital characteristics andpletely transformed into humans.
Just as the various domain forces were fighting for the blood stone, Mu Qing thought of a way to capture them all in one fell swoop.
She memorized the names of thesebat teams.
He was prepared to get the Scarlet Research Institute to help determine if they were friend or foe.
The research institute that did the most research on domain creatures was the Scarlet Research Institute.
Ever since it was established, the Scarlet Research Institute had always been at the forefront of research in domain creatures. Other scientific research institutions could notpare to it at all.
If it was the Scarlet Research Institute, they would definitely have a way to determine the simted domain creatures.
At the thought of this, she even thought of a follow-up n.
She felt that
when the timees, she could invite all the domainbat teams she had memorized in the name of the Scarlet Research Institute. She could even invite as many otherbat teams as possible to hold a meeting.
Then, he would get the Scarlet Research Institute to distinguish them.
After determining the results, she would catch all of them in one fell swoop and destroy all thebat teams marked as domain forces in the meeting.
Now that she hade back to her senses, she looked at Feng Qi.
Now, one thing was certain. There was something wrong with Wang Yi, and she was a domain creature.
As the deputymander of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team, Feng Qi held a high position. Clearly, he had obtained the trust of ¡°Wang Yi¡±.
However, she still did not doubt that Feng Qi would betray humanity.
She always believed that Feng Qi upheld justice in his heart and would not abandon his ideals.
Therefore¡ he must have been bewitched by a domain creature!
It should be a special ability that could control people¡¯s hearts that made Feng Qi take this step.
Everything was not what he wanted.
At this thought, killing intent surged in Mu Qing¡¯s heart.
Without waiting for Feng Qi¡¯s reply, she turned to look at the owner of the fog in the distance.
Killing intent rose and surged in her heart.
Seeing Mu Qing suddenly turn to look at the owner of the fog and clench her fists, Feng Qi was shocked.
He had reason to suspect that Mu Qing was nning to go to beat it to death.
¡°Senior Sister, don¡¯t be rash. Let me exin!¡± he immediately said.
At this moment, Mu Qing turned around.
¡°Do you think I¡¯ve been bewitched by a domain faction?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that so? The Feng Qi I know won¡¯t be ackey for a domain faction no matter what.¡±
Realizing that Mu Qing had indeed misunderstood, he felt bitter and said,
¡°Senior Sister, let¡¯s talk somewhere else. Listen to my exnation.¡±
With that, Feng Qi took the lead and ran into the distance.
Mu Qing frowned slightly when she saw this, but she still followed.
A momentter, they stopped five kilometers away from the canyon.
Feng Qi turned around at this moment and Mu Qingnded on the ground.
At this point, it was better to be honest than to exin. He decided to tell Mu Qing some of the secrets he knew.
However, he did not intend to share everything.
Especially regarding the secrets of the Scarlet Research Institute, he absolutely could not tell Mu Qing.
The Scarlet Research Institute was the core of every sacrifice timeline. Once something went wrong, the entire timeline¡¯s efforts would be in vain.
More importantly, Mu Qing had a spy by her side.
In the first few timelines, he had chosen to give his email to Mu Qing, but all the information in his inbox had been deleted.
If the secret of the Scarlet Research Institute was told to Mu Qing¡
There was a chance that the Scarlet Research Institute would be destroyed in advance, and there would be no Scarlet Secret Base 1,500 yearster.
Keeping a portion of the secrets was being responsible to thepanions who worked together with him on this sacrificial timeline.
At this thought, he looked at Mu Qing and said,
¡°Senior Sister, actually, I¡¯m not controlled. I deliberately went undercover by its side.¡±
¡°Deliberately undercover? What¡¯s your goal?¡±
¡°Would you believe me if I said that I¡¯ve been to the future 1,500 yearster?¡±
When Mu Qing, who had a solemn expression, heard this, she was stunned.
¡°I think you might really have been bewitched by a domain creature.¡±

Feng Qi couldpletely understand Mu Qing¡¯s doubts.
After all, before he obtained the ability to transmigrate the timelines, if someone said in front of him that he could travel through the timelines at will, he would definitely think that the other party was a fool or a mentally ill patient.
If one had such a thought, he would definitely be sent to the Star City Psychiatric Hospital next door for treatment. He would also have to be heavily medicated.
After all, the ability to transmigrate the timelinespletely exceeded theprehension of existing knowledge.
At this moment, looking at the stunned Mu Qing, he nodded solemnly again.
¡°Senior Sister, I¡¯m not lying to you.¡±
¡°I believe you, but I don¡¯t believe you when you¡¯re under mental control. If you have anything to say, wait for me to deal with the domain creature that is controlling you first.¡± Mu Qing honestly said what she was thinking. Then, she turned around and was about to leave.
¡°Senior Sister, time is limited. I¡¯ll make it short.¡±
At this moment, Mu Qing turned around. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes, but she still turned around.
If it were anyone else, she would not have bothered.
But Feng Qi was different.
She had two things in this world that she put her heart on doing. One of them was like all scavengers, avenging their ancestors and rtives, and killing all domain creatures.
Every scavenger was once a city resident. The arrival of the domain fields forced them out of their homes.
During this period, countless people lost their loved ones and were left without shelter.
The souls of their rtives and friends were buried in the ruins of the city.
Hatred for domain creatures was already engraved in the blood of every scavenger.
Mu Qing was no exception.
Ever since she was young, she had learned from her parents about the reasons for the deaths of her grandfather, grandfather, and other rtives of the older generation.
She understood her parents¡¯ hatred for domain creatures.
As for her parents, they had also died because of domain transcendent creatures.
During that migration, they were attacked by domain transcendent creatures. Her parents were poisoned and their bodies kept rotting.
Even with the help of the Star City city defense, the current technological methods were simply unable to remove the poison in the body. It could only slow down the spread of the poison.
It was also at that time that her parents voluntarily chose to participate in the Rune Transformers Project initiated by the Scarlet Research Institute.
There were two reasons why they did this before they died.
Firstly, they hoped that she, who was still young, could obtain the guarantee of the Scarlet Research Institute. They didn¡¯t seek glory and wealth for her, only that she wouldn¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing in Star City in the future and wouldn¡¯t have to wander around.
They even fought for a spot for her to enter Star City Academy.
Secondly, they also yearned to contribute to the scientific research industry and to humanity¡¯s early victory over domain forces.
Mu Qing inherited hatred and her parents¡¯ desire for a wonderful future.
One of her hopes in living in this world was to resist domain forces and contribute her life¡¯s strength to the rise of humanity.
Her other mental sustenance was Feng Qi.
This sustenance had been clearly recorded in a diary of a certain timeline.
[In the past, I didn¡¯t understand why people would ce their hopes on those illusory gods. They clearly don¡¯t exist and can¡¯t change reality. Later on, I understood that when you feel despair and helpless, the spark that charges into the darkness can warm the entire world¡ and you were my former faith.] When she charged into the battlefield, she could still feel the warmth of a safe haven behind her.
This rtionship had nothing to do with love, but it could be called ¡°faith¡±.
When she was at her most confused and helpless, it was Feng Qi who gave her warmth.
Her subsequent friendship with Lin Ran and the others was also built on this warmth.
In the past, it was Feng Qi who told her to be confident. It was also Feng Qi who told her to firmly believe that humans would definitely win in the future.
She had no doubt that if not for Feng Qi, she would havepletely walked towards the dark side of her heart.
From then on, she would be a killing machine and fight for the hatred in his heart like a walking corpse and continue to kill endlessly.
It was Feng Qi who made her human again, not a monster devoured by hatred.
Ever since she could remember, she had been wandering outside with her family.
The most beautiful memories in her heart were the days when she was studying with Feng Qi and her other friends at Star City Academy.
At that time, she temporarily forgot about hatred and discovered the joys of life.
She was willing to sacrifice herself to open a path to hope for humanity.
But for Feng Qi, she was also willing to sacrifice herself.
That day her father¡¯s harmonica shattered. From then on, the white harmonica that Feng Qi had given her filled the gap and became a treasure in her heart, more precious than anything else.
Facing Feng Qi, she could not bear to be ruthless. She was more willing to give him countless chances to exin.
At the thought of this, Mu Qing took a deep breath and raised her head. She looked at Feng Qi firmly, waiting for him to exin.
She had already thought it through.
Even if Feng Qi was really under mental control, or even if this mental control could not be broken, she had to protect Feng Qi.
No matter who came, she would not give in.
Looking at Mu Qing, who had aplicated expression and seemed to have fallen into a dilemma, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.
He could roughly understand what she was feeling.
Actually, he had this feeling before.
When he found out that Wang Jinsheng was the owner of the fog, the faith in his heart copsed.
It was Wang Jinsheng who taught him about courage, fearlessness, and sacrifice.
It was also Wang Jinsheng who made him understand that being determined to pursue his ideals was a romantic feeling.
Wang Jinsheng was the hero in his heart and the guide he had firmly chosen to save the world.
Just like the faith in his heart.
The copse of faith brought pain and despair.
Fortunately, he still had time to exin everything.
At this thought, he looked at Mu Qing, who was standing in front of him. Compared to his memories, she was more confident and mature..

¡°Senior Sister, it¡¯s like this. Back when I was in Star City Academy, I developed many cultivation techniques. Do you still remember? Actually, these cultivation techniques weren¡¯t developed by me at all¡¡±
Next, Feng Qi exined in detail that he could transmigrate the timelines.
But he hid the secrets of the Scarlet Research Institute, Lin Ran, and so on.
He trusted Mu Qing,
but she had a spy by her side.
This information might be unintentionally revealed, and it might cause him to lose everything.
In fact, he could also tell Mu Qing that there was a spy by her side so that she would be on guard.
However, this spy might not be present now. He might only appear when the Dawn Army was formed in the future.
Would he want Mu Qing to guard against everyrade around her in the future?
This would definitely cause a major change in the formation of the Dawn Army.
What followed would be a huge change in history.
It was hard to say if this change was good or bad, but if it was bad, this sacrifice line would bepletely destroyed.
If he wanted to catch the spy beside Mu Qing, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future timeline.
However, this sacrifice timeline of his had more important information to hand to his other self 1,500 yearster.
When Mu Qing asked why he was undercover by the owner of the fog¡¯s side, he exined this way.
He had transmigrated to the timeline and met the owner of the fog in the world 1,500 years after humans had perished, so he knew that it had many secrets. This time, he had gone undercover by its side to investigate information through it.
In the end, he even expressed
that no matter which step he took in this sacrifice timeline he hoped that Mu Qing would leave him alone.
Even if he was sent to the execution ground.
Only then would the future of this sacrifice timeline remain unaffected and be within his control.
After chatting for a few hours, Mu Qing understood the whole story. She could not hide the shock in her eyes.
At this moment, she chose to believe Feng Qi.
Taking a deep breath, a smile finally appeared on her face. She reached out and patted Feng Qi¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Ah Qi, good job. You didn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±
¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯re not bad either.¡± Feng Qi also smiled and patted her shoulder like she had done.
At this moment, he realized that the loli senior who was once only as tall as his shoulders was almost the same height as him.
¡°Senior Sister, why have you grown so much taller in the past few years?¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because my nutrition has caught up. Although the food in the academy is good, there¡¯s very little energy in the food. It¡¯s easy to digest, so I¡¯m often hungryte at night. But now I often eats domain beast meat at the frontline. It¡¯s very nutritious.¡±
At this moment, Mu Qing had shed her cold outerwear and her face was filled with a smile, showing her only warm side in front of Feng Qi.
However, behind the smile, Feng Qi saw a trace of heartache that she tried to hide.
He knew that Mu Qing was feeling sorry for his sacrifice in so many timelines. ¡°Senior Sister, the fight for the blood stone is still ongoing. Let¡¯s go out. If possible, help me save the owner of the fog¡¯s life.¡±
¡°Alright!¡± Mu Qing immediately nodded.
After understanding Feng Qi¡¯s efforts, the worry in her heart dissipated, leaving only heartache.
At this moment, all she could do was firmly support Feng Qi.
Just as they had agreed on that summer night by theke.
¡°I¡¯ve fought for the rise of mankind my entire life. Although I might die, I have no regrets.¡±
The sky gradually brightened.
When Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the battlefield in the canyon, the battle was still intense.
Due to the fierce fight, the ground around them kept sinking. Even the terrain of this area had changed.
¡°Did I participate in this battle in normal history?¡± Mu Qing asked curiously at this moment.
¡°I¡¯m not sure. My guess is that you were involved, but you were forced to be.¡± Feng Qi turned to look at the puzzled Mu Qing and exined with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s my guess. You didn¡¯t participate in this battle before the super domain creature descended. Otherwise, the blood stone would have been taken by you long ago.
¡°You probably observed whichbat teams groups are domain forces from the side. However, after the super domain creature descended, you were also enveloped by its barrier and were forced to attack.¡±
¡°Super domain creature?¡±
¡°Yes, the big guy that will appearter is extremely powerful. In history, you killed it, but I¡¯m not sure if you have the strength now, but it¡¯s definitely not a problem for you to survive in its hands.¡±
¡°Then I want to see how powerful this super domain creature is.¡±
Anticipation appeared on Mu Qing¡¯s face as the mysterious bloodline power in her body stirred.
¡°How about this? I¡¯ll join the battlefield first to ensure that the owner of the fog doesn¡¯t die identally.¡±
Without waiting for Feng Qi to nod, Mu Qing turned into a jade-colored stream of light and rushed towards the core of the battle.
Looking at the rapidly running Mu Qing, Feng Qi suddenly thought of the scene of little Suction Cup running with its four limbs alternating and dust billowing behind it.
While he was sweating inwardly, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was prepared to enter the battle so that he could risk his life to protect the owner of the fog when an ident happened.
However, now that Mu Qing had made a move, he did not have to worry.
Then, he pulled away from the battlefield.
If he got too close, he would lose control of his mental power and absorb arge amount of mottled mental power.
Once his body could not withstand it, he would only explode and die.
His consciousness could not leave with the mental body. There was no possibility of being mentally immortal.
More importantly, the mental strength absorbed by this heretic cultivation technique had not been refined and was filled with different mental power impurities..
Chapter 463 - 463: Mu Qing Takes Action (3)
Chapter 463 - 463: Mu Qing Takes Action (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Impurity creates instability.
The amalgamation of such mental power was like an unstable bomb that could explode at any time.
It was impossible to use mental immortality to continue staying in this world after death.
At this moment, his gaze turned to the owner of the fog.
The current owner of the fog was far from as strong as it was 1,500 yearster. At this moment, it was like a wretched assassin wandering around the battlefield.
While paying attention to the blood stone, as long as anyone was injured and bleeding, it would lean over and take a sip.
After the blood of these domain creatures was absorbed into its body, it would be purified and refined into pure blood and Qi. The impurities would turn into corrosive power and fuse into the gray fog.
The owner of the fog had already yed with the utilization rate of blood to the extreme.
No matter how good its movement techniques were in the battlefield, it would still be hit by spells and abilities that covered the sky. However, it used its almost shameless ability to absorb blood and Qi to continuously be stronger on the battlefield.
Its injuries would also be healed every time it sucked blood.
At this moment, Mu Qing had also arrived at the battlefield.
Compared to the owner of the fog, who was constantly dodging and swimming, Mu Qing seemed to have entered a no man¡¯snd.
An overwhelming number of spells hit her body, but even the jade-colored mist on the surface of her body could not be broken through.
She stood at the edge of the core area of the battle and scanned back and forth, ncing at the owner of the fog from time to time.
At the same time, she was prepared to strike if anything unexpected happened and the owner of the fog¡¯s life in an unexpected way.
Mu Qing¡¯s arrival quickly attracted the attention of many domain creatures.
This was because she was indeed rather outstanding.
Others were dancing like demons, but Mu Qing was the only one standing there peacefully alone.
Even though she was in the center of the storm, the madness and cruelty in front of her seemed to have nothing to do with her.
The owner of the fog, who was looking for an opportunity to attack, also discovered Mu Qing at this moment.
Seeing the familiar jade-colored mist flowing on the surface of her body, the suffocating feeling on the verge of death surged into its heart again.
At this moment, its movements became stiff.
¡°Get lost!¡± At this moment, a domain orc holding a thick ck iron rod swung at it, trying to open a path to fight for the blood stone.
Facing the attack, the owner of the fog¡¯s expression turned cold.
It could not defeat Mu Qing, but it was not afraid of other domain creatures.
At this moment, it suddenly waved at the domain orc. Immediately, its arm turned into gray fog, and arge amount of blood and Qi surged out of the gray fog, condensing into a blood thorn.
This attack instantly pierced through the domain orc¡¯s chest.
When the gray fog came into contact with the blood in its body, it was like a water pump, draining its the blood in a short period of time.
Looking at the shriveled corpse, the owner of the fog retracted the blood thorn.
At this moment, it turned to look at Mu Qing.
When he realized that Mu Qing¡¯s gaze was not focused on him, it immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Now, it was basically certain that Mu Qing hadpletely forgotten about it.
After all, so many years had passed. Its figure in Mu Qing¡¯s memory might have faded long ago. Now, she only felt a little familiar with the aura on its body.
At this thought, the owner of the fog became much bolder.
At this point, the morning glow appeared in the sky.
The oue of the night¡¯s battle had yet to be decided, and thepetition for the blood stone was still ongoing.
Moreover, not only did the number of domain forces that joined the fight for the blood stone not decrease, but it even increased.
Just as the various factions were still going crazy over the blood stone, the sky suddenly darkened.
A distorted ck spot appeared in the sky.
This spot kept twisting and spinning, finally turning into a spatial crack. A huge hand that covered the sky slowly stretched out from the spatial crack.
With a deafening roar, ck spots of light appeared in the sky again.
The ck light spots quickly swam in the air, outlining a vast array diagram.
The ck curtain quickly spread out with this array as the center, finally turning into a barrier that enveloped an area within a radius of several kilometers.
Even the external Spiritual Qi could not prate the barrier and enter.
A terrifying super domain creature descended at this moment.
The domain factions that were still in the chaotic battle stopped one after another. At this moment, they felt the suppression at the bloodline level and realized that death was approaching..

Looking at the distorted spatial crack in the sky and the huge hand that stretched out from it, Feng Qi felt a strong suppression again.
His body began to tremble uncontrobly. However, he did not panic at all.
After all, the situation this time was different.
He did not have the strength to resist the giant hand in the previous sacrifice timeline.
But with Mu Qing present this time, he did not have to worry too much.
At this moment, the huge hand slowly pressed down with the power of heaven and earth.
Feng Qi immediately felt pressureing from above his head. He felt as if there was a small mountain on his back.
He cast his gaze at the battle area in the canyon.
The same went for the various domain forces. They felt the pressureing from above their heads. At this moment, they looked up at the sky with unconceble fear in their eyes.
The pressure from above began to increase as the huge hand continued to sink.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, the focus of the various domain factions was finally no longer on the blood stone.
After all, the barrier had already been formed. Even if they got the blood stone, it was impossible to teleport out of the barrier domain field. Clearly, the most important thing was to survive.
At this moment of life and death, the members of the Spiritual Energy Race were the first to shout, indicating that the various factions should join forces to resist the super domain creature.
The domain factions that had fought with their lives for the blood stone responded to the call.
Mu Qing was also looking up at the sky.
Compared to the fear in the hearts of the domain creatures, she was very calm.
The pressure of the huge hand did not even bring her any pressure. Instead, the blood in her body flowed faster, and her heart beat faster.
This feeling was very strange.
It was like a hungry beast meeting delicious prey that it had not seen for a long time.
The feedback from her bloodline made Mu Qing subconsciously clench her fists and assume an offensive hunting posture.
At this moment, the members of the Spiritual Energy Race joined forces with the various domain factions to set up a defensive barrier.
A blue light screen soared into the sky and transformed into a blue energy shield that enveloped them.
After the energy shield was formed, the pressure on their bodies decreased sharply.
However, the suppression at the bloodline level still made the hearts of the domain creatures palpitate and fearful. While looking at the sky, they were not confident that they could survive.
At this moment, the speed at which the huge hand sank began to increase.
Immediately, the pressure on the blue energy shield increased, and cracks appeared on its surface.
Just as the various domain factions were about to respond to the call of the members of the Spiritual Energy Race and increase the energy output behind their respective nodes, the blue energy barrier suddenly exploded, and a frightening pressure made all the domain creatures sink.
This time, the blue energy shield was not destroyed by external pressure.
Instead, it was destroyed from the inside.
Under the surprised expressions of the various domain creatures, Mu Qing¡¯s figure appeared above their heads.
The jade-colored mist circted faster on the surface of her body. At this moment, Mu Qing, who was hovering in the air, took a deep breath and suddenly threw a punch.
In an instant, a violent wind howled. A terrifying power sucked away the sand and gravel in the nearby area and smashed into the sky with the jade-colored fist mark that soared upwards.
Boom!
When the jade-colored fist mark collided with the huge hand, it was as if the space here was trembling.
Mu Qing¡¯s punch not only repelled the super domain creature¡¯s huge hand, but it also shocked all the domain creatures.
Mu Qing was no stranger to them.
These domain forces that infiltrated the frontline would also often pay attention to the news and information on the frontline like the owner of the fog.
Therefore, Mu Qing often made the headlines.
However, they did not have a standard to measure her true strength.
They did not take it seriously that she was participating in this joint operation.
Only the owner of the fog, who had truly fought with her before, clearly understood how terrifying Mu Qing was. It was always vignt against her.
Now they realized they were wrong.
It turned out that Mu Qing¡¯sbat strength was on apletely different levelpared to theirs.
They suddenly understood why Mu Qing stood there and watched them kill one another like clowns.
Because given her strength, she could easily end this anxious battle for the blood stone.
At this moment, Mu Qing attacked again.
Dazzling light bloomed around her body. This time, her speed was so fast that the naked eye could not see her punching motion. However, in an instant, countless jade-colored fist shadows soared into the sky.
The giant hand was immediately hit repeatedly and kept flying back.
A deafening roar came from the spatial crack in the sky. The super domain creature seemed to be enraged.
However, Mu Qing was not afraid at all. She faced the threat of the super domain faction behind the huge hand head-on.
The feedback from her instincts told her that the terrifying super domain creature in front of her was just food that she had not eaten for a long time.
As Mu Qing and the huge blood-colored hand collided, the owner of the fog made its move below.
It was looking up at the sky like all the other domain creatures.
However, it secretly used the blood essence it had just absorbed to create an identical blood stone. Then, it gently waved at the blood stone in the distance.
Its blood control ability also had an effect on the blood stone.
At this moment, the blood stone slowly melted and finally turned into a pool of blood that slowly flowed towards it.
One of the characteristics of a miracle was that it did not have any aura.
The melting of the blood stone did not attract the attention of the nearby domain creatures. It was swapped by the owner of the fog just like that.
After doing all this, it looked up at the sky as if nothing had happened.
Right then, it suddenly thought of Feng Qi. Then, it turned to look in his direction in the distance.
It heaved a sigh of relief when it realized that Feng Qi was also looking up at the sky and was not injured by the suppression of the huge hand.
The battle between Mu Qing and the huge handsted for a long time.
As the battle progressed, Mu Qing grabbed a finger, wanting to pull the super domain creature on the other side of the spatial passageway out.
However, the super domain creature on the other side of the space seemed to be unable to pass through this narrow spatial passageway. In the end, under Mu Qing¡¯s terrifying strength, one of its fingers was torn off.
Blood sttered from the sky.
From the perspective of the owner of the fog, the blood falling from the sky was undoubtedly the most precious growth gift bag.
Every drop of blood could increase its strength greatly.
Ignoring the gazes of the domain creatures around it, it decisively used its consciousness to guide the blood in the sky to gather towards it.
When the blood entered its body, the surging pure blood essence power made its hair dance.
In the blink of an eye, its skin was burned red by the blood and Qi.
During the digestion process, the body¡¯s feedback was very strong.
The process of the owner of the fog absorbing blood and Qi was simr to humans enjoying delicious food.
After absorbing the blood of a super domain creature, it was as if it had enjoyed a peerless delicacy that it had never tasted before. Every cell in its body was awakened by this taste. Its body kept sending happy signals to its brain.
At this moment, the giant hand in the sky finally lost the courage to continue fighting.
It slowly retreated, wanting to shrink back into the spatial crack.
However, Mu Qing had no intention of letting it go. She came to the spatial crack and the jade-colored stream of light wrapped around the entire huge hand and began to pull it with force.
The battle between the super domain creature and Mu Qing began.
However, after a few minutes, the roar of a super domain creature sounded in the sky again.
Under the incredulous gazes of the figures below, Mu Qing forcefully tore off the huge hand of this super domain creature.
Blood sttered like raindrops.
Compared to the giant hand, Mu Qing¡¯s figure was small, but in the eyes of everyone, she looked abnormally terrifying.
The figure holding the huge hand and standing in the air was destined to be a memorable image in the memories of these domain creatures.
After the huge hand was torn apart, the spatial crack closed.
Without the energy supply, the barrier that enveloped this area copsed.
Without any hesitation, the various domain forces decisively chose to escape. As for the blood stone, they ignored it.
Looking at the huge hand, Mu Qing let go at this moment.
She hated domain creatures deeply and had no reason to let them off.
However, the various domain factions escape in all directions. She did not master any abilities simr to a barrier and could only choose to pursue and kill.
However, before the pursuit began, her figure suddenlynded in front of the blood stone.
She had asked Feng Qi about the final oue of the blood stone.
Feng Qi did not give an answer.
From the looks of it, she felt that the blood stone should have fallen into her hands.
After grabbing the blood stone, she cast her gaze at the targets that had already been marked by domain forces. Her figure turned into a stream of light and chased after them.
As for the owner of the fog, it decisively fled.
It, who had already fused with the blood stone in his body, arrived in front of Feng Qi.
¡°Come, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t want the blood stone anymore?¡± Feng Qi asked curiously.
¡°I switched them. No one noticed. Let¡¯s get out of here.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
Although he had personally witnessed the previous sacrifice timeline and even participated in the battle for the blood stone, he did not know where the blood stone ended up until his death.
Now that he heard the owner of the fog say that it had obtained the blood stone, he was immediately very surprised.
It was even more unclear if this was an event that would happen on the normal historical timeline or if the historical had deviated due to his influence.
¡°Let¡¯s go. If Mu Qing chases after us, we¡¯ll die.¡±
At this moment, the owner of the fog transformed into a gray fog and enveloped Feng Qi before flying towards the Former Days Supply Area.
Along the way, they began to think about what to do in the future.
¡°We¡¯ve clearly exposed our identities and trump cards in front of various domain forces in this operation. If we continue to act as Wang Yi in the future, we¡¯ll definitely be restricted. I think we have to change our identities.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
¡°It¡¯s indeed time to do that, but before that, I suggest finding a ce to enter seclusion to study the use and effects of the miracle bracelet. Then, you can use the blood stone to steadily increase your strength. After all, strength is the key to setting up the future.¡±
Hearing this, the voice of the owner of the fog came from the gray fog.
¡°My thoughts are the same as yours. I¡¯ve been greatly stimted today. I have to be stronger as soon as possible.¡±
¡°Because of Mu Qing?¡±
¡°The speed at which her strength increases is far faster than I imagined. If I don¡¯t catch up to her, the gap between us will only grow wider.¡±
¡°Who imed that its talent was better than Mu Qing¡¯s back then? Now, it¡¯s been pped in the face.¡±
¡°When I said that she¡¯s inferior to me, I meant that Mu Qing will definitely be inferior to me in the future, not now.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of little Suction Cup 1,500 yearster.
If ¡°inferior to me in the future¡± meant umting lifespan, the owner of the fog had indeed beaten countless experts in the current world. Mu Qing was naturally among them.
As they chatted, Feng Qi subconsciously asked, ¡°Fog, what¡¯s your next step after your seclusion?¡±
This time, the owner of the fog thought for a long time before answering.
¡°How about¡ we go to Star City?¡±
Upon hearing this, he realized that the owner of the fog¡¯s n to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute was finally about to begin..
Chapter 465 - 465: God of the New World (1)
Chapter 465: God of the New World (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
West of Former Days City, Former Days Mountain Range.
The undting mountain peaks were endless. Green nts were dense here, and many wild animals and nts had been preserved.
After searching for a while, the owner of the fog and Feng Qi, who had decided
to enter seclusion, arrived at this forest.
They chose to create an empty space in the dense forest beside the mountain stream. Then, they built a fence with trees and lived in seclusion in this quiet environment.
Compared to the owner of the fog who could enter seclusion without eating or drinking, Feng Qi clearly could not do this.
Every three days, he needed to hunt some wild animals in the dense forest to replenish his nutrition.
As for cultivation, he did not need it.
After the Demon Dragon transformation ended, his body changed, and his cultivation efficiency was extremely low. The only way to grow was to temper his body and increase the strength of his body.
The increase in physical strength could also reduce the series of side effects
brought about by the rapid growth of mental power.
During this period, the owner of the fog¡¯s strength began to grow rapidly.
In the intense battle in the canyon, it had absorbed arge amount of blood and Qi. He had even absorbed the blood of the super domain creature.
The blood essence had not beenpletely converted.
During seclusion, the owner of the fog absorbed this blood essence and its strength improved rapidly.
Apart from that, the blood stone that had already fused into its body was producing pure blood and Qi at every moment.
The blood and Qi produced by the blood stone did not need to be converted. It could fuse into its body and be a part of its power.
Feng Qi had nothing to say about its continuous fortuitous encounters and growth.
This was simply a protagonist model.
It survived a great cmity, had a fortuitous encounter meeting him, and exploded with great might on the verge of death. Now, there was also a miracle blood stone that perfectly matched its ability.
In the words of the owner of the fog, even if ity still, its strength was steadily improving.
Compared to his painstaking exploration in every sacrifice timeline, the owner of the fog was simply blessed with luck.
At this thought, Feng Qi felt bitter. Comparing man to fog was infuriating.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
That evening, the sun set.
Feng Qi, who had finished a day of high-intensity training, was cleaning and preparing the hare he had just caught by the stream.
Next, he used the tree branch that he had prepared beforehand to pierce through the hare¡¯s body and arrived in front of the bonfire that had already been lit.
Having not eaten for a few days, he decided to eat some wild animals tonight to reward himself.
As time passed, oil seeped out of the surface of the hare as the branches flipped. It sizzled under the mes.
At this moment, a gray fog appeared beside him.
As the gray fog surged, it condensed into the appearance of the owner of the
fog-
¡°Didn¡¯t I teach you how to absorb blood and Qi? Why are you still eating in such
a wasteful manner?¡±
Hearing a familiar voice beside his ear, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes. ¡°What you taught can¡¯t fill my stomach. It can only replenish energy. I¡¯ve long been used to eating during the time I lived in human society. Perhaps my race used this method to replenish nutrition too.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. I came out of seclusion this time to tell you good news!¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi turned to look at the owner of the fog curiously.
¡°What is it? Has your strength improved by leaps and bounds?¡¯
At this moment, a purple light flowed in the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes, and it looked very excited.
¡°It has nothing to do with growth in strength. I recently made a new discovery when I was studying the blood stone. This discovery might allow us to stand at the top of the world in the future.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi sweated in his heart.
He felt that the owner of the fog was going to start bragging again.
From defeating Mu Qing up back then to bing a Pir God¡ The owner of the fog would have strange thoughts every once in a while.
However, he was very curious about what new ideas it had this time.
As if sensing Feng Qi¡¯s nonchnce, it immediately said,
¡°This time, I found something very interesting on the blood stone. It¡¯s very likely a nomological path.¡±
¡°Nomological path?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. For example, casting a spell is copying one of the trajectories ording to the path of the rules of heaven and earth. This is actually a part of the power of the rules.
¡°For example, you¡¯ll find that some special domain fields can¡¯t release some spells because the rules in this part of the domain field are different from the rules of the outside world. For example, water-element spells cannot be released in the Yellow Sand Domain field we went to back then¡¡±
Listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi understood what the nomological path meant.
This was a naturalw.
Releasing spells wasputing ording to the trajectory form andbining another form of energy within the rules.
When such forms and energy forms did not exist in the rules, even if one outlined the trajectory, they would not be able to condense such a spell.
The owner of the fog expressed that it had also seen the trajectory of the rules on the blood stone.
After experimenting and cultivating, it discovered that this trajectory had the effect of greatly increasing its physical fitness and the strength of the blood and Qi in its body.
It could even increase the potential of a cultivator¡¯s bloodline growth.
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
The first thing he thought of was the super cultivation technique that would affect the future, Flesh Sacrifice.
He had two guesses about the origin of Flesh Sacrifice.
The first guess was that after the owner of the fog infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it used Wang Jinsheng to develop the Flesh Sacrifice.
However, it turned out that even though Lin Ran reced Wang Jinsheng, Flesh Sacrifice still appeared in history.
The second guess was that Flesh Sacrifice was developed by the owner of the fog itself..
Chapter 466 - 466: God of the New World (2)
Chapter 466: God of the New World (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After interacting with the owner of the fog for a while, Feng Qi firmly believed
in this conjecture.
The owner of the fog¡¯s learning and research ability was not inferior to Lin Ran¡¯s at all. It waspletely capable of developing such a super cultivation technique that could change history.
However, after listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, he realized that the birth of Flesh Sacrifice was likely rted to the miracle blood stone.
From this perspective, he suspected that the owner of the fog had also obtained the miracle blood stone in the normal historical timeline.
He asked the owner of the fog in detail about the trajectory of this rule.
From the owner of the fog¡¯s description, he was even more certain that the nomological trajectory imprinted on the blood stone was the embryonic form of Flesh Sacrifice.
In the following days, the owner of the fog began to study the nomological trajectory of Flesh Sacrifice and entered seclusion.
Half a yearter, Feng Qi, who was cutting wood, met the owner of the fog again.
At this moment, the owner of the fog told him a shocking piece of news.
It modified the trajectory of the rules on the bloodstone, removing someplex trajectories. This weakened the trajectory¡¯s impact but made it easier
to use.
The first edition of Flesh Sacrifice was officially released.
During this half a year of seclusion, the owner of the fog made another shocking discovery.
It used a squirrel in the dense forest as an experiment to help it cultivate Flesh Sacrifice It realized that its newborn descendants had also inherited the bloodline enhancement brought about by Flesh Sacrifice. Their starting point for growth had be even higher.
This discovery made the owner of the fog very excited.
In the words of the owner of the fog, when it revived its nsmen in the future, it would be able to let them cultivate this super cultivation technique. The future growth potential of its race would definitely rise to another level.
Looking at the owner of the fog who was fantasizing about the future development of its race, Feng Qi fell silent.
From a historical point of view, Flesh Sacrifice was not used on the growth of the owner of the fog¡¯s nsmen. In the end, it evolved into a sacrificial technique that harmed humans and weak races.
During this period, there was clearly a growth process that he did not know about.
He did not know if he would affect this process and have a huge impact on the future.
But soon, the owner of the fog gave him an answer.
Late at night, Feng Qi sat cross-legged on the top of the tree crown and looked up at the moon.
The mental power in his sea of consciousness gradually removed the impurities under his purification.
But this process was slow.
When Lin Ran developed Immortality of the Mind, he only considered growth efficiency and didn¡¯t consider the purity of mental power at all.
Therefore, he could only choose slowly and clumsily.
At this moment, a gray fog appeared beside him.
Feng Qi, who had sensed the aura beside him, opened his eyes.
¡°I¡¯ve decided to give up on infiltrating the Scarlet Research Institute. We¡¯ll infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute instead.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi was surprised.
The Scarlet Research Institute had always been the first target for the owner of the fog to infiltrate.
During this period, he had been thinking about a problem.
How should he make the owner of the fog give up infiltrating the Scarlet Research Institute?
After all, the Scarlet Research Institute was the core of every timeline. If it fell, all the efforts of everyone in this sacrifice timeline would be in vain. Unexpectedly, the owner of the fog said that it wanted to give up on the Scarlet Research Institute.
¡°I have a n in mind. If this n can be realized, our future will be vast.¡± As it spoke, a hint of anticipation appeared in the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes.
¡°Tell me in detail,¡± Feng Qi asked curiously.
¡°Do you still remember what I said back then? I modified and removed arge portion of the blood stone cultivation technique?¡±
¡°Yes. Didn¡¯t you say that the trajectory is tooplicated and that much content is unsuitable for cultivation?¡±
At this moment, the owner of the fog red and said, ¡°Yes, some of the trajectories are tooplicated. The speed of cultivation is far slower than the reduced version I modified¡ But recently, I¡¯ve tried to cultivate theplicated trajectories. Guess what happened?
Looking at the excited owner of the fog, Feng Qi said decisively, ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°I discovered that my cultivation of the intricate aspects attracted the blood of an experimental squirrel cultivating a simplified version of the blood stone technique. I ended up causing the death of the experimental squirrel. Surprisingly, I found that its blood flowed toward me.¡±
The more the owner of the fog spoke, the more agitated it became.
In the end, it took a deep breath and its eyes flickered excitedly.
¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, thatplicated blood stone path is the main path. It¡¯s the core of this nomological path. It¡¯s like the Spiritual Qi circting in the body during normal cultivation will eventually gather in the dantian, like rivers flowing into the sea.¡±
¡°I have a concept now. I want to tum Flesh Sacrifice into two different cultivation techniques. Theplicated part is the source, which I¡¯ll call Flesh Cauldron. The other is a reduced version. I call it Flesh Sacrifice.¡±
-AU the lives that cultivate the Flesh Sacrifice technique will eventually be nutrients for the source. With just a thought, their flesh and blood will copse. The blood imprinted in their body will automatically gather towards me and be nutrients for my growth!¡±
Listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi finally understood the reason.
After many improvements, this cultivation technique that the owner of the fog wanted to use for the development of the race had evolved into the Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique in history.
The reason why the owner of the fog suddenly wanted to choose the Tiger Soul Research Institute was simple.
It needed a tform to publish Flesh Sacrifice.
pared to the mysterious and low-key Scarlet Research Institute, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was clearly a better choice..
Chapter 467 - 467: God of the New World (3)
Chapter 467 - 467: God of the New World (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Furthermore, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was one of thergest cultivation technique research institutes.
As long as the new cultivation technique that had been certified by the Tiger Soul Research Institute was released, it would definitely attract many cultivators.
If it could sessfully infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it could also use the many cultivation media controlled by the Tiger Soul Research Institute to publicize Flesh Sacrifice and constantly increase its influence.
After figuring out the reason, Feng Qi was enlightened.
The owner of the fog had clearly experienced this growth process in history.
The Scarlet Research Institute was too low-key and mysterious. It was not easy to attract the attention of the outside world with internal changes.
The risk of infiltration was small.
However, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was different.
Not only did they have periodicals every week but they also often held cultivationpetitions. It was a Celebrity Research Institute.
Changes in internal staff were avable on news and information tforms.
From a safe point of view, the Scarlet Research Institute was better.
However, from the perspective of Flesh Sacrifice, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was the best choice.
It was Flesh Sacrifice that changed the owner of the fog¡¯s mind.
What Feng Qi did not expect was that Flesh Sacrifice was divided into two parts.
The owner of the fog controlled Flesh Cauldron, the source of all rivers returning to the sea. All of humanity cultivated Flesh Cauldron as a sacrifice.
Next, the owner of the fog talked about the future structure of Flesh Sacrifice. During this period, it seemed very excited and could not help bursting into heartyughter.
It expressed that it wanted to continue improving Flesh Sacrifice and increase the effect of the ¡°rivers returning to the sea¡±.
Apart from that, another important point needed to be modified.
Different species led to different meridians in the body. If Flesh Sacrifice only had one fixed meridian, it could only be used for one species.
But this problem was not unsolvable.
Flesh Sacrifice was originally a technique to temper the strength of the bloodline, so it was less rted to the meridians. The owner of the fog expressed that it couldpletely modify Flesh Sacrifice into a technique that was purely for tempering the body.
It was already experienced in this field.
The experiment it performed on the squirrel essentially involved using Flesh Sacrifice solely to temper its body.
However, this version had reduced several processes and needed improvement.
What it needed to do now was to perfect this part and make Flesh Sacrifice a cultivation technique that could be used by various races.
Only in this way could it truly kill everyone.
At this point, the owner of the fog stood up on the treetop.
It looked up at the bright moon and slowly spread its hands apart. Its figure was enveloped in the hazy moonlight.
¡°Ah Qi, our goal shouldn¡¯t only be humans. All domain creatures will be the goal of our great n. When they taste the sweetness of cultivating Flesh Sacrifice, they will promote it in their ns. Even their descendants¡¯ bloodlines will be branded with the trajectory of Flesh Sacrifice¡ Flesh Sacrifice will spread like a virus. In the end, all the living beings in the world will be nutrients for our growth.¡±
¡°At that time, we will be the Pir Gods of the new world!¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it excessively cruel to sacrifice the majority of living beings in the world for the sake of reaching the peak?¡±
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog turned to look at Feng Qi and smiled.
¡°You¡¯ve studied human history, so you must have realized that decline is only the other side of prosperity. It can also be said that decline is to umte strength for prosperity again. This is theplete life development chain. It¡¯s the same in every world.¡±
¡°As long as I can stand at the peak, so what if there are millions of corpses under my feet?!¡±
¡°While we bring destruction, we will rebuild prosperity in the new world that belongs to us..¡±

Chapter 468 - 468: Returning to Star City (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The owner of the fog¡¯s cultivation in seclusion finally ended.
This morning, the sky was starting to brighten.
Feng Qi and the owner of the fog left the old mountain range and flew towards Star City.
Sitting on the gray fog along the way, he realized that the owner of the fog¡¯s movement was more than twice as fast as before.
This was clearly rted to the increase in strength.
During the period of seclusion, the owner of the fog¡¯s strength improved every day with the support of the blood stone.
Other than that, after constant improvement, it had perfected the Flesh Sacrifice technique.
Apart from special life forms, Flesh Sacrifice was suitable for all life forms with flesh and blood.
During this period of interaction, Feng Qi also understood the reason for the owner of the fog¡¯s desire to climb to the peak.
During the development of the Flesh Sacrifice, the owner of the fog had said that as long as it could climb to the top, it did not care how many corpses it had to step on.
ording to the owner of the fog¡¯s perspective, the biological chain was pyramid-shaped. Only by standing at the top could they avoid being exploited, killed, and enved by other powerful races.
If it wanted to lead its race to glory, it could only climb to the peak.
However, this process was cruel.
Arge number ofpetitors would appear along the way, and killing was unavoidable.
In the end, it was all for the future of the race.
Feng Qi could understand its philosophy.
However, in the end, there was still a saying: Different paths could never converge.
In terms of their race, they were already on opposite sides. Humans would also be ¡°obstacles¡± on the path to the peak.
If he wanted to resolve the problem of standing, he had to ensure that the owner of the fog¡¯s nsmen would forever be stable and not be disrupted by external forces.
However, without climbing to the peak, it was impossible to have the ability to ensure the eternal stability of the race.
During the process of climbing to the peak, one would definitely need to plunder arge number of resources to consume and use them to elerate the development of the race.
This process could not avoidpetition and killing.
The more he interacted with it, the more he felt that the owner of the fog was special.
In the past, he thought that the owner of the fog was a bloodthirsty demon and couldn¡¯tmunicate with it at all.
However, he saw the owner of the fog¡¯s determination, pain, desire, anger, fear, and other emotions in this sacrificial timeline.
If it weren¡¯t for the matter of stance, he felt that he could be friends with the owner of the fog.
However, the disagreement in perspective remained unresolved.
If one day the value of the owner of the fog disappeared, he would still attack it.
The owner of the fog was willing to use unscrupulous means to revive its nsmen. It was also willing to attack all the domain forces that blocked the growth of the human race in the future.
Even if they were once ¡°brothers¡±.
After traveling for a few days, they crossed several domains along the way.
Feng Qi and the owner of the fog finally arrived at the north gate of Star City.
Before they approached Star City, theynded near the main road.
Peering ahead along the main road that led to Star City, he could spot the towering city gate. The steel city wall stretched for several miles from the gate.
At this moment, Feng Qi and the owner of the fog were in a quite miserable condition.
After living in seclusion for so many years, their clothes were tattered, and they looked like refugees.
Following the main road, they walked towards the north gate of Star City.
On the main road to Star City, there was an endless stream of cars. Most of them were military vehicles transporting supplies. There were no passers-by like them.
20 minutester, they arrived at the city gate of Star City.
As they followed the traffic into the city gate, green light constantly swept past them along the tunnel.
When they walked out of the tunnel, they realized that a staff member was waiting.
The staff member was a woman d in the Star City garrison uniform, yet shecked any military rank insignia. It was evident that she was either an intern or a contract worker.
At this moment, she was holding three bags of food and looking at them with aplicated expression.
As they approached, the woman said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Star City¡¯s scavenger residence is full. Here are three bags of food. Please leave.¡±
As she spoke, she handed three bags of food to Feng Qi.
¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m a resident of Star City. My identity number is 11736¡¡±
¡°A resident of Star City?¡±
The woman was stunned. She put down the bag containing the food and pressed the button on her right wrist.
The screen on the metal wrist was instantly activated.
After she tapped the screen a few times, she entered the review page.
She entered the identity number provided by Feng Qi and the profile picture that he had taken at the Star City Academy appeared on the screen.
At this moment, the woman looked up at Feng Qi and sized him up carefully.
¡°I apologize for the misunderstanding. But, to be safe, you have to follow me for a detailed identification check to ensure that you¡¯re not a domain creature.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± He nodded without hesitation.
Next, they followed the woman to the audit room. Another staff member came to receive them and scanned their bodies with instruments.
Feng Qi did not panic at all.
Although he had undergone the Demon Dragon Rune modification, the data of his body after the modification had long been registered in the Star City database by the Scarlet Research Institute.
As for the owner of the fog, there was even less to worry about.
The owner of the fog possessed Wang Yi¡¯s body. It was only a controller, so there was no problem with using Wang Yi¡¯s identity.
In less than half an hour, they were let in and their identities were verified.
Upon learning that both he and the owner of the fog had received the Outstanding Contribution to Mankind Award, the woman promptly offered to escort them into the city..

Feng Qi and the owner of the fog did not decline.
After the woman informed her colleague, they got into the woman¡¯s car and drove into Star City.
This was the first time Feng Qi had entered Star City from the city gate.
Looking through the window, he noticed that there was a lookout post every 30 feet along the way. A team of armed soldiers on each post scanned the traffic vigntly, keeping a watchful eye in both directions.
The car drove for more than 10 minutes and passed through three tunnel checkpoints.
When the car drove out of thest tunnel and passed by the logo ¡°Star City
North District¡±, Feng Qi¡¯s field of view suddenly widened.
Ahead of him stood towering buildings. Gazing into the distance, he could see a cluster of technologically filled structures, creating a scene of prosperity. Everything in front of him was extremely familiar.
¡°Where are you going?¡±
The woman driving asked.
¡°Please drop us off at the intersection ahead,¡± Feng Qi indicated, pointing to the nearby junction.
The woman did not ask much and immediately stopped the car at the junction. After thanking them, Feng Qi and the owner of the fog got out of the car. The woman drove away and the owner of the fog looked curiously at the backpack behind it.
¡°I¡¯ve noticed something odd. Do you carry this backpack with you wherever you go? What¡¯s in it?¡±
The items left behind from before I lost my memories might be helpful in my search for my nsmen.¡±
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog had a look of realization and said,
¡°Since you¡¯re more familiar with this ce, lead the way. Let¡¯s find a ce to stay first, and then we can discuss the next infiltration n.¡±
Feng Qi immediately nodded.
Next, he led the owner of the fog towards the central street in the north of the city.
They had discussed how to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute before arriving. What theycked now was detailed deployment.
They had chosen to expose their identities before entering the city because of this consideration.
Beforeing to Star City, they had considered two ways to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The first was to infiltrate Star City and look for an opportunity to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
If they opted for this n, the starting point would be a threshold.
They had nevere into contact with the researchers of the Tiger Soul
Research Institute, nor did they know about the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s power deployment. It was very likely that they would not be able to return if they rashly infiltrated and possessed it.
To be safe, they had to hide in the dark for a long time. Then, they had to gather detailed information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute in Star City before they could officially take action.
The second way was to enter Star City with their current identities and find a chance toe into contact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
There was no risk in this method.
Although their identities had been exposed, they were not exposed to humans.
Instead, they were exposed to some domain forces.
Their current identities were still useful.
Moreover, they could abandon their identities at any time.
When the owner of the fog changed into a new body, it wouldn¡¯t have to worry about its identity being exposed.
In the words of the owner of the fog.
¡°To them, the domain creature is Wang Yi. What does that have to do with me?
Changing my body is like bing a whole new person.¡±
This was also one of the reasons why they chose the second method.
The only problem was that Feng Qi couldn¡¯t change his appearance as easily as the owner of the fog.
But this problem was not unsolvable.
With the owner of the fog¡¯s ability to control flesh and blood, it was not difficult to reconstruct a person¡¯s facial features.
After the infiltration n seeded, the owner of the fog would help himplete the transformation of his appearance.
At that time, the owner of the fog would have a new parasite, and Feng Qi could start over after changing his appearance.
In the future, Feng Qi and Wang Yi would disappear.
They would interact with the world in a new identity at the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
As they chatted, they arrived at themercial street in the north of the city.
After entering a clothing store, they changed their clothes and threw away their tattered clothes.
In the end, the owner of the fog took out a phone and used the virtual bank card it had used when it was working in the steelworks factory to settle the bill.
After doing all this, they checked into a nearby hotel.
For the next operation, they needed to wait for an opportunity toe into contact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
As for how long he had to wait, Feng Qi was not worried.
Judging from the frequency of events held by the Tiger Soul Research Institute,
this opportunity wouldn¡¯t take long to appear.
It was the second month since they came to Star City.
That afternoon, after lunch¡
Feng Qiy on the bed and turned on his tablet, reading thetest information.
After flipping through the news for a moment, he opened the Tiger Soul
Research Institute¡¯s official website as usual.
At this moment, a pinned announcement caught his attention.

Retired frontline warriors, or frontline warriors who are willing to be cultivation technique experimenters. (You also need to master the cultivation of theoretical knowledge.)
Recruitment Notice: Those who meet the above conditions can sign up before December 3. The examination schedule will be arranged separately after registration and approval.
Seeing this recruitment announcement, Feng Qi realized that his chance hade.
Originally, he and the owner of the fog had nned to start the operation through the event organized by the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
For example, the Cultivation Concept Competition, and so on.
But this time, Tiger Soul Research Institute recruited cultivation technique experimenters from the outside world. This made it easier for them toe into contact with the internal staff of the institution.
In the afternoon, he filled out the application form and started to await the notification from the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Based on his experience, Feng Qi felt that bing a cultivation technique experimenter wouldn¡¯t be difficult for him.
After all, his Outstanding Contribution to Mankind Award was obtained by ¡°developing cultivation techniques¡±.
He also satisfied all other requirements.
The only problem was that the owner of the fog couldn¡¯te into contact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute by applying to be a cultivation technique experimenter.
After all, its current identity was ¡°Wang Yi¡± of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team.
If he suddenly applied to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute and be a cultivation technique researcher, it would arouse the suspicion of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
More importantly, Wang Yi¡¯s age didn¡¯t meet the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s recruitment requirements.
After discussing with the owner of the fog, he decided to enter the Tiger Soul Research Institute first to investigate the situation.
The next morning.
Feng Qi received a call from the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The staff on the other end of the phone told him that he could head to the Tiger Soul Research Institute to work at any time.
Feng Qi was not surprised to receive this call.
No matter what the outside world said about him, it could not hide the fact that he had once seeded in cultivation.
He was also known as a historical genius who could bring about changes in cultivation many years ago.
With his resume, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute and be a cultivation technique researcher.
Moreover, he was only applying for the position of a cultivation technique experimenter.
In the words of the owner of the fog, this was a destructive attack.
This was also very simr to a novel Feng Qi had read when he was working in the steelworks factory. The title of the novel was:
The Immortal World¡¯s Supreme Returns to the City to Be a Security Officer.
Or something simr.
After receiving the reply, Feng Qi discussed the subsequent arrangements for the infiltration n with the owner of the fog.
In the end, he decided to enter the Tiger Soul Research Institute first.
The owner of the fog persisted in waiting for the Tiger Soul Research Institute to organize an event before engaging in interaction andmunication with it.
That afternoon, Feng Qi packed his luggage and set off.
He followed the address provided by the staff and arrived at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in the northern suburbs.
After getting out of the car, the staff who had contacted him in advance was already waiting there.
After exchanging greetings, he followed the staff through the security gate and walked into Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
He walked along a corridor illuminated by technological lights for over 300 feet. He passed severalrgeputing machine workshops and reached a door.
¡°Go on in.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi pushed the door open and entered without hesitation.
The room was simply furnished. The walls were hung with human acupuncture diagrams, and the desk was filled with documents.
Observing the figure seated at the desk, engrossed in writing with their head lowered, Feng Qi suddenly experienced a sense of familiarity.
At this moment, the figure looked up.
Their eyes met, and a familiar smile lit up in his gaze.
¡°Brother Qi, long time no see..¡±

Chapter 471: The Fog Must Win (1)

Feng Qi had expected to see Lin Ran again after entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
However, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
He had just entered the Tiger Soul Research Institute when he met Lin Ran.
At this moment, Lin Ran stood up from his seat and walked up to him. He reached out and punched Feng Qi¡¯s chest.
¡°Brother Qi, I haven¡¯t been able to contact you for many years. What have you been up to?¡±
¡°I went to the front for a few years.¡±
Observing Lin Ran, who had some white hair on his head and appeared much more mature, Feng Qi smiled and yfully punched his chest.
A familiar feeling flowed in his heart.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were going to the front line? I thought you had disappeared.¡± As Lin Ran spoke, he raised his fist and punched Feng Qi¡¯s chest again. Then, he asked expectantly, ¡°Are youing back to continue your cultivation technique research?¡±
¡°More or less. I n to earn a living at the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡± Feng Qi smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, Lin Ran finally smiled.
There were not many geniuses that he truly admired.
Feng Qi was the most outstanding one in his eyes.
During his days at the Star City Academy, he had witnessed Feng Qi¡¯s amazing talent. Sometimes, when inspiration came, he could develop a cultivation technique in a few days.
After entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had a deeper understanding of cultivation technique research and realized how terrifying Feng Qi¡¯s talent was in the past.
Under ordinary circumstances, a cultivation technique needed to undergo several steps from conception to formal creation.
The process of creating a cultivation technique could also be called the process of perfecting the cultivation concept.
However, there was still a huge difference between the concept and reality.
The energy required to create a cultivation technique was unimaginable.
After the cultivation technique was created, it had to go through several versions of updates and tests to ensure that there were no hidden dangers in its path. It could then be released to the public without worry.
After he joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had always wanted to enter the cultivation technique research team.
However, the upper echelons of the Tiger Soul Research Institute never approved his application. Even so, he continued to study cultivation techniques whenever he was free. He often looked up the cultivation technique research materials of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
This included the cultivation technique database developed by Feng Qi.
He was surprised to discover that all the cultivation techniques developed by Feng Qi had been passed in one go at the test stage. There was no need for further improvements and modifications.
This talent made Lin Ran understand how terrifying Feng Qi¡¯s talent was back then.
After so many years, Feng Qi¡¯s once-dazzling halo had dimmed, and he had not created any new cultivation techniques.
However, he always believed that Feng Qi would return stronger one day.
At that time, he would be the most dazzling new star of this era, writing his legendary chapter in the long river of history.
He firmly believed in this.
But all these years, he was deeply puzzled by Feng Qi¡¯s disappearance.
For this, he had even sent an email to ask the Scarlet Research Institute where Feng Qi had gone.
In the end, the Scarlet Research Institute did not give him any response.
In addition, he had also asked the researchers of the Scarlet Research Institute about Feng Qi during the exchange between the research institutes.
The other party¡¯s answer was also unclear.
He wanted to use the highest authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to find out where Feng Qi had gone through residence registration, and so on.
However, he did not have the authority to check other¡¯s information.
Feng Qi¡¯s disappearance became a mystery in his heart.
However, he did not give up on finding Feng Qi.
He nned to use his authority to check the relevant information when he advanced to the management level of the Tiger Soul Research Institute in the future.
Under Lin Ran¡¯s enthusiastic greeting, Feng Qi came to the sofa and sat down.
Lin Ran sat down at the side with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
¡°Brother Qi, I believe that with your ability, the Tiger Soul Research Institute will set up a cultivation technique research team for you. When the timees, remember to poach me to work in your team.¡±
¡°As the leader of the spell research team, your next goal should be to be the chief of your spell research team and not to continue developing cultivation techniques.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°Researching cultivation techniques is my dream. If I can¡¯t participate in cultivation technique research in this life, I¡ I won¡¯t rest in peace.¡±
Hearing this, he felt ashamed.
After so many years, Lin Ran¡¯s passion for studying cultivation techniques did not diminish at all.
¡°By the way, tell me, what have you been doing at the front line all these years?¡±
Faced with the question, Feng Qi began to tell the story that he had prepared long ago.
Looking at Lin Ran, who nodded from time to time, he suddenly felt upset.
Wang Jinsheng had already entered the Scarlet Research Institute.
With Lin Ran¡¯s influence, when the owner of the fog infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he would be the best target to possess.
The current Lin Ran was the most famous genius in the cultivation field.
Every time a new spell was released, it would attract arge number of new students and frontline warriors to learn it.
Such influence was tempting to the owner of the fog.
What the owner of the fogcked the most was an influential medium to promote his improved Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique. At this moment, Lin Ran was the best choice.
Just as the owner of the fog had said.
As long as Flesh Sacrifice was promoted, it would spread like a virus in the future.
Not only human cultivators but domain forces would also end up as ¡°sacrificial offerings¡± after attempting to cultivate and then passing on their knowledge to their descendants..
Chapter 472 - 472: The Fog Must Win (2)
Chapter 472: The Fog Must Win (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Flesh Sacrifice¡¯s influence was invisible.
On the surface, this cultivation technique brought hope to humans and weak domain races. They had already be nutrients for the owner of the fog¡¯s growth from the beginning.
But it couldn¡¯t remind Lin Ran now.
After the owner of the fogpleted the possession, it could read a portion of its memories.
In the words of the owner of the fog, the memories it read were filled with randomness and could not urately obtain the contents of a certain period. But it couldn¡¯t gamble.
If the owner of the fog read the content of his confession to Lin Ran, this sacrifice timeline would be destroyed.
This was irresponsibility towards itself and its peers in this timeline.
Their efforts will go up in smoke with its willfulness.
Feng Qi restrained his emotions and smiled while discussing his predetermined experiences on the front line with Lin Ran.
In the end, they talked about their experiences at Star City Academy.
When they talked about Lin Ran drinking too much Merit Wine and jumping into theke to swim and cool down, they couldn¡¯t help butugh.
The embarrassing events from their youth brought back memories of that time.
But that was still a memory.
The trio in the north corner of the cafeteria had long dissipated.
His other good friends, Lin Ran, Yang Xiaoxin, and the monk¡ had all taken different paths.
As they chatted, it was time for dinner.
Feng Qi followed Lin Ran to the cafeteria of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base. They packed three full tes of food and brought some wine to the rooftop.
The rooftop of the Tiger Soul Research Institute appeared to be a tea-drinking spot, adorned with numerous tea tables and tea sets.
He followed Lin Ran to a tea table and put down their tes.
¡°Brother Qi, the cafeteriacks the right ambiance. Let¡¯s dine here and reminisce before discussing our ns.¡±
As Lin Ran spoke, he reached out and unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle.
¡°It¡¯s been many years since Ist drank alcohol. Alcohol affects the efficiency of my spell research, but I¡¯ll make an exception for you today.¡±
Lin Ran handed Feng Qi the bottle and opened another.
The bottles clinked, and a smile appeared on Lin Ran¡¯s face.
Brother Qi, let¡¯s talk about your ns after entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Do you want me to rmend you to the cultivation technique research team? With your ability, it¡¯s a waste of your talent to be a cultivation technique experimenter.¡±
I just got here and you want me to be your connection?¡±
What I dislike the most is relying on connections, but you¡¯re different. You¡¯re a true talent. As the saying goes, don¡¯t forget your roots. I just don¡¯t want to see you getting bogged down,¡± Lin Ran said earnestly.
¡°A talented person¡¯s day wille. There¡¯s no hurry.¡±
¡°I disagree with you. While it¡¯s true that the day wille, isn¡¯t the time before it valuable? Since you¡¯ve chosen to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute, you should make a more noticeable impact.¡±
At this point, Lin Ran paused.
¡°In my memory, you¡¯re high-profile and confident, but the current you don¡¯t seem to have the indomitable aura that you once had.¡±
As Lin Ran spoke, his face revealed a sadness.
¡°Don¡¯t goad me. I¡¯m very familiar with your method¡ But what you said makes sense. Rmend me to the cultivation technique research team then.¡±
Hearing Feng Qi agree, the sadness on Lin Ran¡¯s face instantly turned into joy. Brother Qi, you¡¯re awesome! I hope you can establish your cultivation technique research team soon and poach me over.¡±
Don t even think about it. Study your spells properly.¡±
¡°Who knows? Maybe I have talent in cultivation technique research. How will I know if I don¡¯t try?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi was also very curious.
Logically speaking, given Lin Ran¡¯s talent in spell research, if he strongly expressed to the higher-ups at Tiger Soul that he wanted to transition to cultivating technique research, they would likely have allowed him to try. Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°The institute didn¡¯t give you a chance?¡±
¡°Never. Even the development of my spell research has to align with the mission requirements set by the higher-ups. They don¡¯t permit me to explore it freely. They¡¯re essentially stifling my talent,¡± Lin Ran expressed frustratedly. Hearing this, Feng Qi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Align with the mission requirements set by the higher-ups?
Based on his understanding of cultivation, whether it was spells or cultivation techniques, giving researchers the freedom to use them was a prerequisite for innovation.
Since the development of cultivation, many concepts that seemed rtively perfect had been inspired by free y.
Undoubtedly, stifling the freedom of innovation was tantamount to hindering the progress of cultivation.
It was strange for the upper echelons of Tiger Soul Research Institute to restrict Lin Ran¡¯s development like this.
He couldn¡¯t help but guess that the Tiger Soul Research Institute was being controlled by other factions.
He wasn¡¯t imagining things.
Because it corresponded to the information he had obtained previously.
Among the information rted to the Science and Technology Research Institute, one of the most important information was to capture the spy, Le Ping¡¯an.
The reason why Le Ping¡¯an joined the Star City Academy was because the Science and Technology Research Institute wanted to infiltrate a certain domain faction and nt its spies to investigate.
At that time, Le Ping¡¯an had worked very hard in the academy to learn the content of cultivation, especially the knowledge of cultivation technique research.
Coupled with the subsequent news that the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been infiltrated by a domain faction, Feng Qi was certain at the time.
The Science and Technology Research Institute arranged for Le Ping¡¯an to enter Star City Academy to further his cultivation to insert Le Ping¡¯an into the Tiger Soul Research Institute as a spy.
However, this guess that he was almost certain of back then seemed to be full of loopholes now.
First of all, when Le Ping¡¯an joined the Star City Academy, the owner of the fog had not be a domain transcendent. It was still nning to revive its nsmen and expand the area of the domain field.
Therefore, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute didn¡¯t nt Le Ping¡¯an in the Tiger Soul Research Institute to target the owner of the fog.
That was what he thought.
Before the owner of the fog infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, was it still under the control of other factions, or was it indirectly influenced?
At this moment, he heard Lin Ran say that the Tiger Soul Research Institute restricted his free development.
When Lin Ran mentioned that his research direction had to align with the mission requirements set by the higher-ups at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it seemed more consistent with the traits of being infiltrated by domain factions.
To domain factions, human cultivation techniques were useless.
The characteristic of human cultivation techniques was to guide the Spiritual Qi of the outside world into the body and circte it ording to the meridians. At the same time, they wouldpress and store the Spiritual Qi in the dantian.
Various cirction paths could induce different changes in the attributes and purity of Spiritual Qi during its cirction.
However, the domain creatures¡¯ structural characteristics were different from humans¡¯. The meridians in their bodies were entirely different.
Practicing human cultivation techniques would undoubtedly lead to a state simr to ¡°losing control and entering a demonic path¡± for oneself.
Only a cultivation technique that purely refined the body could be epted by domain creatures.
However, inparison, the rules developed by humans could be learned and mastered by domain creatures.
The characteristics of spells were to guide the Spiritual Qi to circte, outline, and arrange ording to a fixed trajectory. Then, they would condense the Spiritual Qi to form a spell.
It was like a form.
He followed the trajectory of the form and obtained the corresponding result.
Moreover, most spells needed to outline the trajectory of the spell outside the body.
Therefore, domain factions couldpletely learn and master the spells developed by humans.
Now he had a reason to suspect that the higher-ups at the Tiger Soul Research Institute prevented Lin Ran from researching cultivation techniques because, no matter how exceptional a cultivation technique was, it would be ineffective against the domain faction operating in the shadows.
After all, the structure of the body was different, and the cirction path of the meridians waspletely different.
However, the spells developed by Lin Ran could bepletely controlled by the domain faction behind the scenes.
In addition, Lin Ran had to develop the spells ording to the mission. It was as if a domain faction was controlling Lin Ran to research spells and obtain powerful spells for their race.
¡°Brother Qi, are you drunk?¡±
At this moment, Lin Ran waved his hand in front of Feng Qi, and thetter immediately came back to his senses.
¡°I¡¯m fine. I suddenly recalled many things.¡± Feng Qi smiled and sighed.
As he spoke, he raised the bottle.
Seeing this, Lin Ran immediately picked up the wine bottle and clinked it with him.
¡°Brother Qi, since you¡¯ve made your decision, I¡¯ll write you a rmendation letter tomorrow. I¡¯ll help you enter the cultivation technique research team as soon as possible. Only then can I be free as well.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t say I was taking you with me.¡±
¡°Hey, I¡¯m your buddy. Do you bear to leave me in the lurch?¡±
Looking at the expectant Lin Ran, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t be sure that his guess was right.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
Everything else appeared normal at the Tiger Soul Research Institute. As for the higher-ups restricting Lin Ran¡¯s research and development freedom, there must be a reason behind it.
But no matter what the answer was, he would investigate it next.
If the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been infiltrated by other factions, he would think of a way to exterminate them.
In this sacrifice timeline, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had to fall into the hands of the owner of the fog.
This was the only way could the owner of the fog grow faster.
Only then could he use the owner of the fog as a starting point to obtain more information..
Chapter 473 - 473: Confession (1)
Chapter 473: Confession (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
Late at night, on the rooftop.
Under the night breeze, Feng Qi and Lin Ran enjoyed three rounds of drinks. As they chatted about the past, the unfamiliar feeling that they had not seen for many years gradually faded.
Especially as night fell, they reminisced about the days when they used to study in the library at Star City Academy all night after dinner.
After clinking sses with Lin Ran again, Feng Qi took a big sip.
¡°Ran, if your friend deceives you one day, will you hate him?¡±
Hearing this, Lin Ran was stunned.
¡°Brother Qi, why do I feel like you¡¯re about to deceive me?¡±
It s nothing like that. I just thought of something, so I asked you.¡± Feng Qi denied it decisively.
Lin Ran nodded and asked curiously,
¡°If my friend deceives me, it would break my heart¡ but everything has two sides. Giving surprises is also a form of deception. Tell me first, what¡¯s the result of being deceived?¡±
Faced with the question, Feng Qi was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°What if you have to lose your life?¡±
¡°Then there has to be a reason, right? What¡¯s the goal of the deceiver?¡± Lin Ran asked curiously again.
Faced with this question, Feng Qi fell silent again.
It had never been his wish to deprive others of their lives in the name of saving the world.
To him, standing on the moral high ground and being able to decide the future of others at will was another form of bullying and exploitation.
Therefore, he felt guilty towards Lin Ran.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Lin Ran and said.
¡°What do you think of the act of betraying a friend for the greater good?¡±
¡°For the greater good? Can you give me an example?¡±
¡°If one day, you have to make a choice where you must take the lives of your friends with your own hands to save your world and your nsmen, what will your decision be?¡±
Hearing this, Lin Ran fell into deep thought.
A momentter, he looked up at Feng Qi.
¡°If your hypothesis is correct, is there a possibility that death might also be the desire of the betrayed friend?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
As if sensing Feng Qi¡¯s inner turmoil, Lin Ran smiled and said, ¡°For instance, if one day you need to sacrifice me for the sake of our ideal future, then I¡ am ¡¯ duty-bound.¡±
Towards the end, Lin Ran¡¯s expression became serious.
Feng Qi suddenly realized that Lin Ran seemed to have sensed something.
At this moment, Lin Ran smiled and took a big sip of wine.
¡°Brother Qi, I feel like you¡¯re hiding something from me. Although I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re hiding it from me, I¡¯m sure you have your reasons.¡± ¡°Knowing you as I do, it¡¯s impossible for you to vanish for so many years just to experience life on the front line. We discussed this before. You mentioned that your dream is to join a cultivation technique research institute¡ Whether it¡¯s about contributing to humanity or other considerations, stepping onto the front line doesn¡¯t align with your operating principles, and it¡¯s also moving farther away from your initial dream.¡±
Looking at Lin Ran, who was smiling, Feng Qi fell silent.
He realized that he had underestimated Lin Ran¡¯s insight.
At this moment, the topic had reached this juncture, essentially touching a sensitive boundary.
Their conversation might also be read by the owner of the fog after it possessed Lin Ran.
At that time, the owner of the fog, who had always trusted him, might also have doubts in its heart.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi¡¯s heart tightened.
Being seen through by Lin Ran was bad for the future development of this sacrifice timeline.
But it was not impossible to remedy the situation.
In many timelines, Wei Wei was studying content rted to memory.
For instance, memory preservation, editing, knowledge imntation, and so forth.
Since the topic had developed to this point, he felt that he might choose to confess everything he knew to Lin Ran.
But after confessing, he needed to look for Wei Wei.
Then, he would request Wei Wei to assist in editing Lin Ran¡¯s memories, deleting the recollections that were not conducive to the development of this sacrifice timeline.
¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll make a call.¡±
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to the other side of the rooftop.
Seeing this, although Lin Ran was puzzled, he didn¡¯t ask why.
Feng Q1, Who hade to the other side of the rooftop, took off his backpack and took out the encrypted cell phone produced by the Scarlet Research Institute.
After following the steps to verify it, he entered the encryption interface.
He opened the contact list and dialed Wei Wei¡¯s number.
He waited for a long time, but Wei Wei didn¡¯t answer the phone. However, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry.
He had been in the Scarlet Research Institute for a long time and understood that Wei Wei often had to participate in the research project of the rune crystal. She couldn¡¯t bring her cell phone with her at all times.
Some projects would take a few days to start.
Fortunately, the call to Wei Wei would automatically redirect to the Scarlet Contact Center after 10 minutes. Then, someone would be responsible for informing Wei Wei to take the call.
After waiting for more than to minutes, the call was picked up. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡±Ah Qi, what important news do you have?¡±
¡°Sister Wei, I want to ask you something. How¡¯s your research on memory editing going?
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you have some knowledge you want to imnt into your memories? If you do, send me the information. When the timees, I¡¯ll edit your memories and imnt them into your brain. Then, you can read and master this piece of knowledge¡ But I hope the amount of information isn¡¯t toorge. Otherwise, the difficulty and failure rate will increase exponentially.¡± Thinking that Feng Qi wanted to imnt knowledge to his other self, Wei Wei replied decisively..

Hearing this, Feng Qi realized that Wei Wei had misunderstood him.
He immediately said, ¡°Sister Wei, you know that I¡¯m going back to Star City, right?¡±
¡°I know. We imnted our tracking chip in the back of your neck. Apart from the special team protecting your brain, the headquarters is also monitoring your movements in real-time.¡±
Feng Qi nodded and continued, ¡°I returned to Star City this time because the history of this sacrifice timeline has developed to the stage where the owner of the fog is preparing to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Now that Old Wang is at the Scarlet Research Institute, Lin Ran will be the target of the owner of the fog¡¯s possession.¡±
¡°A few days ago, I participated in the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s external recruitment. I¡¯ve joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base and met Lin Ran¡¡±
After spending more than 20 minutes, he told Wei Wei about the current situation in detail.
After exining the situation, he continued to ask, ¡°So, Sister Wei, can you edit Lin Ran¡¯s memories? Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid it will impact this sacrifice timeline.¡±
After hearing his story, Wei Wei¡¯sughter came from the other end of the phone.
¡°You¡¯re too careless. Lin Ran is very intelligent. When you disappeared, he was investigating our Scarlet Research Institute and your information. We just happened to overlook him.¡±
Hearing Wei Wei¡¯sughter, he knew that something was going on.
However, before he received a clear confirmation, he was still a little worried. He immediately said,
¡°Sister Wei, so can you help me settle this matter?¡±
The other end of the phone immediately gave an answer.
¡°I can¡¯t edit memories, but three years ago, I extracted the blood of a domain creature capable of controlling the mental consciousness of other beings and developed a memory-erase potion. After ingesting it, it can erase a portion of one¡¯s memories. You can use this substance.¡±
¡°Erase memories?¡±
¡°Yes, this memory-erase potion can erase some of the recent memories.¡±
¡°Can I choose which part of the memory I want to erase? I don¡¯t want Lin Ran to be a memory-less fool after drinking it.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t choose the memory to erase. As for what you said aboutpletely losing his memory and bing a fool, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±
¡°This memory-erase potion determines the time of erasure ording to the dosage. The specifics are also rted to the consumer¡¯s physique. The data I¡¯ve tested is that every milliliter can erase the consumer¡¯s memories for about 20 hours. This effect can be stacked in the future.¡±
¡°For instance, if you want to erase Lin Ran¡¯s memories for a month, which is 720 hours, you only need to give him 36 milliliters of memory-erase potion. He will forget the memories of the past month¡ Prepare as many memory-erase potions as you need to erase his memories.¡±
Hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was enlightened.
In his opinion, the effect of the memory-erase potion was practical.
Although it was impossible to edit and modify the specified memory content, it was also an effective method to erase memories.
With the memory-erase potion, he no longer had to worry about the owner of the fog obtaining Lin Ran¡¯s important memories.
When the time came, he only needed Lin Ran to drink the corresponding dosage and erase his relevant memories after entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Even if he drank too much, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem. It would just erase some of his memories.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately asked.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t die from drinking it. The products developed by me are top-notch.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of the brain receptacle, syringes, big m lobster, Little Snail, and the knowledge imntation technology¡ He had never doubted that Wei Wei was a research and development genius.
Many timelines proved that as long as Wei Wei wanted to develop a product, it could eventually be a reality.
After chatting for a while, he told Wei Wei about the general situation of the escort mission and hung up.
At this moment, he walked towards Lin Ran.
With Wei Wei¡¯s guarantee, he no longer had to worry about Lin Ran finding out about his secret.
As long as he erased Lin Ran¡¯s memories before the owner of the fog carried out the possession n, there would be no problem.
As for whether the owner of the fog would be suspicious of Lin Ran¡¯s memory loss, he wasn¡¯t worried at all.
From the owner of the fog¡¯s description, he understood.
The owner of the fog¡¯s memories were iplete, to begin with.
Even if it discovered that Lin Ran¡¯s memory was missing, it would only mistakenly think that it hadn¡¯t read the deleted part of his memory.
Wei Wei had just said on the phone that she would send this memory-erase potion to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base tomorrow.
The recipient¡¯s name would be ¡°Lin Ran¡±.
At this moment, Feng Qi once again felt the joy of having peers as logistics support.
He sat down at the tea table again and looked up at the puzzled Lin Ran.
After thinking for a few seconds, he looked straight into Lin Ran¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Ah Ran, I¡¯lle clean with you.¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t tell me about it, it¡¯s fine. Although I¡¯m curious, I know you have your thoughts and difficulties.¡± Lin Ran shook his head and refused.
¡°That was what the call was about. Now that I¡¯ve gathered my thoughts, there¡¯s no harm in telling you the truth¡ But you have to be mentally prepared. What I¡¯m about to say might sound unbelievable, and you might even think I¡¯m talking nonsense..¡±
Chapter 475 - 475: Confession (3)
Chapter 475 - 475: Confession (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Brother Qi, in that case, start your speech. I¡¯m curious about what you¡¯ve experienced.¡± Lin Ran smiled and raised his ss.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Lin Ran and said.
¡°Would you believe me if I said that I can transmigrate through the timeline?¡±
It was a familiar confession, but it exceeded Lin Ran¡¯s expectations.
Lin Ran, who had just taken a sip of wine, spat it out when he heard this.
¡°Cough, cough¡ Brother Qi, are you telling me a fantasy story?¡±
As Lin Ran stood up and wiped his clothes with a tissue, he couldn¡¯t help butin. He believed that Feng Qi was joking.
¡°I told you to be mentally prepared. Do you think I¡¯m telling a story?¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°Are you telling the truth?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Hearing this, Lin Ran¡¯s expression instantly became serious.
He sat down again and nodded at Feng Qi, indicating for him to continue.
He also realized that Feng Qi would not joke with him at this time.
Next, Feng Qi began to briefly tell Lin Ran about his experience.
Listening to his story, Lin Ran¡¯s expression kept changing.
It was especially so when he heard Feng Qi say that he hadmitted a heinous crime in the future database and be a sinner despised by history, his heart turned cold.
His enthusiasm for cultivation technique research instantly dissipated by more
than half.
In his mind, he thought of how he was still repenting for the sins he hadmitted in this life when his hair was white.
¡°Come on, Brother Qi, you must be joking. The Tiger Soul Research Institute thoroughly tests the cultivation techniques before sharing them with the public. They make sure the experimenters try them out first to ensure they¡¯re safe. They wouldn¡¯t release any faulty cultivation techniques to the public, would they?¡±
Faced with Lin Ran¡¯s confusion, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°This was the information I obtained when I first checked your future database. At that time, I believed it, but reality showed that history can be deceiving¡ Hold on, let me finish. If you listen, you¡¯ll get it.
Next, Feng Qi recounted the information about Lin Ran¡¯s multiple timelines in detail.
He brought up the first time he checked the future shelter¡¯s database, where it imed Lin Ran would turn into a historical scourge. This made him question why the Tiger Soul Research Institute would release untested cultivation techniques.
Then, he discovered that there was something wrong with Le Ping¡¯an. Through Le Ping¡¯an, he learned that the Science and Technology Research Institute had been infiltrated. He investigated Le Ping¡¯an¡¯s motive for joining the Star City Academy and suspected the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡ as well as the subsequent investigations.
With the integration of intelligence from multiple timelines, a clear timeline appeared.
Lin Ran gradually understood the whole story from his initial confusion.
In the end, Lin Ran couldn¡¯t hold back his forced calmness.
He never thought that he would be so miserable.
There were only two endings for him in the multiple timelines.
He would either be harmed by the owner of the fog and release a cultivation technique that could break one¡¯s meridians, or he would be possessed by the owner of the fog and be a ¡°historic great¡±, bringing destruction to all of humanity.
He could even be considered the harbinger of mankind¡¯s downfall.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Feng Qi and asked,
¡°Brother Qi, you mentioned in the regr timeline, the owner of the fog takes over Old Wang¡¯s body and bes the new Old Wang. So, I¡¯ll end upbeled a historical sinner for creating a technique that damages people¡¯s meridians, is that right?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Could it be that, in your view, the owner of the fog infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute to endorse the Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique? In the normal timeline, I¡¯ve created a technique more potent than Flesh Sacrifice. If this technique gets out, it might impact the promotion of Flesh Sacrifice.¡± ¡°Considering the emergence of a cultivation technique as remarkable as Flesh Sacrifice, cultivators would have more options, significantly reducing Flesh Sacrifice¡¯s promotion. Hence, to eliminate thispetition, the owner of the fog targeted me.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
He hadn¡¯t considered the angle Lin Ran had mentioned.
However, after thinking about it carefully, there was indeed a possibility, although the probability might be very small.
Lin Ran was right. There was no need for a cultivation techniqueparable to Flesh Sacrifice. As long as a sufficiently outstanding cultivation technique appeared, it would weaken the influence of Flesh Sacrifice.
With his understanding of the owner of the fog, it would definitely do such a thing.
This way, not only could more people cultivate Flesh Sacrifice but it could also stop the development of human cultivation, preventing them from easily cultivating new cultivation techniques.
It was equivalent to increasing the influence of Flesh Sacrifice.
In the history of the normal timeline, the meridians of millions of people were severed, causing the research of cultivation techniques to reach a bottleneck in the next few decades. Cultivators no longer dared to try thetest cultivation techniques, affecting the subsequent updates and improvements.
This influence spanned more than a hundred years.
However, the Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique that was released at about the same time created glorious achievements during the darkest era of cultivation.
Thinking about it carefully, this might be another game of chess yed by the owner of the fog.
He used Lin Ran as a negative example to create favorable conditions for the promotion of Flesh Sacrifice.
At that time, cultivators would not dare to cultivate new cultivation techniques. Coupled with the fact that Flesh Sacrifice was outstanding enough, it would be the best choice for cultivators.
From a historical point of view, the owner of the fog was definitely a genius.
Every development would be considered from a long-term perspective. What he cared about was never the immediate benefits.
At this moment, Lin Ran interrupted his thoughts.
¡°Brother Qi, do you think my guess is possible?¡±
When Feng Qi came back to his senses, he could not help but roll his eyes. ¡°You seem eager to prove that you¡¯re talented in cultivation technique development.¡±
Lin Ran, whose thoughts had been seen through, didn¡¯t care at all. He smiled and nodded.
¡°Releasing an untested cultivation technique indicates that the issue isn¡¯t my fault and I¡¯ve clearly been manipted. This demonstrates my talent in cultivation technique research.¡±
At this time, Lin Ran was still thinking about whether he had talent in cultivation technique research.
What kind of obsession was this?
After understanding the history, Lin Ran fell into deep thought.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t say anything and gave Lin Ran time to digest the information he had said.
Half an hourter, Lin Ran looked up at him and said firmly, ¡°Brother Qi, I understand. I will be like them on this sacrifice timeline and be yourpanion.¡±
Lin Ran had said this to him 1,500 yearster.
However, when Feng Qi heard it now, he still felt warmth flowing in his heart. His path to salvation wasn¡¯t as desperate as in the movies, nor did he have the aura of a protagonist. Instead, he had peers like Lin Ran.
Their assistance yed a crucial role in executing his sacrificial timeline more effectively.
At this moment, Lin Ran raised his ss and giggled.
¡°Brother Qi, cheers!¡±
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately raised his ss and clinked it with Lin Ran¡¯s. After drinking the wine in his ss, he looked at Lin Ran and said solemnly, ¡°Ah Ran, there¡¯s something I need you to work with me on.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Lin Ran immediately nodded.
¡°From what you¡¯ve described and what I¡¯ve gathered, I have grounds to suspect that the Tiger Soul Research Institute has been infiltrated by a domain faction. It¡¯s highly possible that you¡¯re being manipted by this faction to aid in the development of the spells they require.¡±
¡°You know that I need to help the owner of the fog rise as soon as possible on this sacrifice timeline. Therefore, I need to investigate the Tiger Soul Research institute¡¯s current situation and eliminate all factors that are unfavorable to its future development.¡±
¡°Of course, suspecting that the Tiger Soul Research Institute has been infiltrated by other factions is only my guess. Everything still needs to be investigated. I need you to cooperate with me in this investigation.
Hearing Feng Qi¡¯s exnation, Lin Ran immediately nodded.
¡°Considering your ount, I¡¯m starting to entertain doubts about potential infiltration at the higher levels of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. It¡¯s time tounch an investigation.¡±
As they chatted, they began to formte an investigation n for the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
As time passed, dawn appeared on the horizon.
The light painted the clouds in hues of red, swiftly spreading and coloring half the sky crimson.
After talking to Lin Ran all night, Feng Qi¡¯s worries dissipated.
Lin Ran¡¯s words touched him greatly.
He imed that no romantic pursuit in the world was more worthwhile than striving for one¡¯s ideals.
Even if the oue was a failure, at least he could still hope that the ideal flower would bloom in the future in another timeline.
After saying this, Lin Ran finished the wine in his ss.
That calmness and carefreeness dissipated the guilt in Feng Qi¡¯s heart.
He raised his head and looked to the west, where the red sun rose.
Flocks of geese formed neat lines as they flew south..

Chapter 476 - 476: The Trailzer Is a God (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After a long night of conversation with Lin Ran, Feng Qi was arranged to stay in the room next to Lin Ran.
In the next few days, Feng Qi had a rough understanding of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
This was one of the many sub-bases of the Tiger Soul Research Institute in Star City. It was ranked eighth and was also known as the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s Base No. 8. It was mainly in charge of research on spells.
This base was managed by the deputy director of the spell department.
Lin Ran led the spell research team¡¯s second section at the base, overseeing 38 team members and three dedicatedboratories.
Although he didn¡¯t have any authority, his status in the base was unquestionable.
Through Lin Ran¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi quickly understood the general situation of this sub-base.
Since he had just joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had not participated in any cultivation technique or spell experiments for the past few days.
During this period, Lin Ran submitted a rmendation letter to the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He hoped that he could join the cultivation technique research team.
However, the reply from the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute surprised Feng Qi and Lin Ran.
The higher-ups at the Tiger Soul Research Institute expressed their hope that Lin Ran would discover his talent in spell research and actively engage in the field.
They seemed to have the intention to send talented people to the spell department.
This behavior coincided with Feng Qi¡¯s guess.
He felt that it was likely that the domain faction behind the scenes was controlling the Tiger Soul Research Institute and getting human talents to research the spells they needed for free.
Next, they decided to investigate this matter.
On this day, Feng Qi followed Lin Ran to Laboratory 3 as usual.
The spellboratory waspletely different from the researchboratory of the Scarlet Research Institute.
The venue of eachboratory was the size of a basketball court.
The interior was intricately adorned with red and yellow talismans, serving to seal the Spiritual Qi. The floor beneath Lin Ran¡¯s feet was constructed from special magic stones generated by the domain field.
Theyout here was designed to minimize the power of spells.
The process of studying spells was filled with instability, and there was a high chance of an explosion.
Sometimes, unstable spells would cause the caster to suffer a bacsh from the Spiritual Qi.
Therefore, the first thing to ensure the safety of the spell researchers was to limit the power of the spell.
Only by passing the preliminary test of theboratory could one obtain the subsequent tests and updates from the outside world.
Alongside the various Spiritual Qi-restricting decorations in theboratory, numerous instruments were strategically arranged.
For example, the Spiritual Qi and spiritual energy detectors.
These two machines could test the purity and quality of the Spiritual Qi released in the room and better assist in the improvement of the spell.
Other than that, there was also a spell track recorder, a spell fluctuation detector, and a data modifier.
Among them, what attracted Feng Qi¡¯s attention was the metal nutrition chamber ced in the corner of theboratory. It reflected a ck luster under the light.
After asking Lin Ran, he learned that this instrument was thetest research product of the Scarlet Research Institute, the ¡°virtualboratory¡±.
Its function was to simte the environment in reality and release the spell. Moreover, the virtual system inside could record the details of the spell in real-time.
However, in Lin Ran¡¯s words, the simtion effect of this virtual gaming capsule was not ideal. It was rarely used.
Hearing Lin Ran¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was surprised.
The technology of virtual reality had already been preliminarily perfected long before he transmigrated.
Moreover, the Scarlet Research Institute had conducted many virtual reality simtion experiments, and the results were unexpectedly good.
Hence, the Scarlet Research Institute coborated with the Future Research Institute. They nned to acquire the necessary technology and establish a super factory outside Star City. This facility would mass-produce high-end virtual gaming capsules, paving the way for the future.
But from Lin Ran¡¯s exnation, not only had virtual technology not improved after so many years but it had also regressed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.
The virtual technology released by the Scarlet Research Institute to the public was evidently a watered-down version.
Theplete version was not released to the public.
This could test the effects of virtual technology promotion and also cover the series of virtual technology research carried out by the Scarlet Research Institute.
After all, building a super factory would attract the attention of external forces.
However, as long as the various factions felt that virtual technology was not a threat, the research could continue.
Everything was for the sake of safety.
The Scarlet Research Institute released the semi-finished high-end virtual chamber as a deceptive smokescreen.
After entering theboratory, he and Lin Ran went to the data control table and watched the spell experimental video from a few days ago.
At this moment, a conversation request appeared on the screen of the control panel.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately picked up the video call.
A man in the base¡¯s security uniform appeared on the screen.
¡°Team Leader Lin, there¡¯s a package for you.¡±
When Lin Ran, who was sitting beside Feng Qi, heard this, he immediately nodded.
¡°Send it to theb.¡±
After hanging up the video call and waiting for a long time, the security staff carrying the delivery box arrived at Laboratory 3.
He put down the delivery box, greeted him, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Feng Qi picked up the delivery box and saw that the sender column was filled with the words ¡°Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
¡°Memory-erase potion?¡± Lin Ran asked curiously..
Chapter 477 - 477: The Trailblazer Is a God (2)
Chapter 477: The Trailzer Is a God (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Yes, it shouldn¡¯t be wrong.¡±
After removing the packaging on the delivery box, what appeared in front of them was a ck metal box.
At the top of the metal box was a fingerprint unlock button.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
This type of metal box would be used by the Scarlet Research Institute when transporting special items.
The box must be opened in a specific manner, involving processes like fingerprinting, iris recognition, blood identification, and so forth.
If one used non-specific methods to forcefully break open the box, the interior of the box would enter a self-destruct state. The highly acidic substances from the domain creatures would destroy everything inside.
At this moment, Feng Qi reached out his index finger and pressed it on the fingerprint detection scanner.
Ka!
Apanied by a crisp sound of metal colliding, a metal cylinder slowly rose from the center of the metal box, and cold air rose.
When the ice fog dissipated, what appeared in front of them was a ss container the size of a Coke bottle.
It was filled with a purple translucent liquid. Countless small ck dots could be seen floating in the liquid. It was really strange.
Below the ss container was another instruction manual.
After reading the manual, he handed it to Lin Ran.
¡°There¡¯s 500 milliliters of memory-erase potion in the ss container. Based on the calction of 20 hours of memory per milliliter, the content in this bottle can wipe out all your memories for a year.¡±
After hearing Feng Qi¡¯s exnation, Lin Ran, who had nevere into contact with biotechnology, was curious. Then, he opened the manual and started reading.
¡°Take a look first. I¡¯ll put the box away.¡±
As Feng Qi spoke, he stood up and pressed the metal cylinder containing the memory-erase potion back into the box.
Ka!
Metal nged, and the box locked automatically.
At the same time, the three lights above turned green and entered the refrigerated storage mode.
He picked up the metal box and walked straight out of theboratory to his room. Then, he stuffed the metal box under the bed.
With this memory-erase potion, he no longer had to worry about the owner of the fog finding out about his conversation with Lin Ran.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to let Lin Ran test the effect of the potion tonight.
After dealing with it, he returned to theboratory.
At this moment, Lin Ran was still flipping through the instructions as if he was interested in this technology.
He came to the control panel and sat down.
Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone vibrated.
After taking out his cell phone from his pocket, it showed ¡°Wang Yi¡±.
Realizing that this was a call from the owner of the fog, Feng Qi immediately gave Lin Ran a look. Lin Ran understood and nodded.
After picking up the call, the owner of the fog¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡°Is it convenient to talk?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯m alone.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve made progress on the Miracle Bracelet. Come check it out when you¡¯re free.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
The Miracle Bracelet was the earliest miracle item he and the owner of the fog had obtained in this timeline.
However, it was different from the Blood Stone.
The Miracle Bracelet did not create derivatives in real time, and it could not be activated and used without a specific method.
However, from the way the humanoid leader used it, it might be rted to summoning the power of the ancestor.
Until now, they had yet to figure out how to use the Miracle Bracelet.
Of course, this was also rted to the owner of the fog focusing on the Blood Stone and not paying much attention to the Miracle Bracelet.
He did not expect the owner of the fog to crack the mystery of the Miracle Bracelet after he had left for a few days.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately said.
¡°Got it. I¡¯ll head back tonight.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you at the usual ce.¡±
After hanging up, he turned to look at Lin Ran.
¡°Team Leader, I need to apply for leave tonight.¡±
¡°Brother Qi, it¡¯s a call from the owner of the fog, right? What happened?¡±
¡°Remember when I told you about the miracle item?¡±
¡°Yes, especially the Blood Stone you described. It breaks thew of energy conservation by continuously producing pure blood essence stones without losing mass.¡±
¡°Also, the characteristic of ckie that you described, which almost ignores all damage, is ridiculous.¡±
Feng Qi nodded.
¡°This time, the owner of the fog has figured out the way to use the Miracle Bracelet. I have to go back and understand the details. This is rtively important. It might be of great help to the other one.¡±
¡°Understood. I approve your leave.¡± Lin Ran smiled and nodded.
After lunch, Feng Qi changed into casual clothes and left the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
He hailed a taxi and went straight to a hotel in Star City North District.
Ever since he and the owner of the fog came to Star City, he had been staying in this hotel and waiting for an opportunity to interact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
A momentter, he arrived at the door of the owner of the fog¡¯s room.
After pressing the button at the door, the door opened.
After following the owner of the fog into the room, he sat down on the sofa at the side and looked up at the owner of the fog.
The owner of the fog did not speak. At this moment, it raised its right hand.
Blood fog began to spew out from its palm, turning into a ball of blood.
When the blood ball dissipated, a bracelet made of green light floated above its palm.
¡°I¡¯ve deciphered the Miracle Bracelet¡¯s impact. Its usage is connected to one¡¯s faith.¡±
¡°What do you mean? Tell me in detail.¡±
Facing the question, the owner of the fog smiled and asked.
¡°Do you believe in God in this world?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t. The Pir Gods you mentioned are simply high-dimensional life forms to me, not omnipotent gods. Even if gods do exist, I don¡¯t believe they would protect mortals..¡±
Chapter 478 - 478: The Trailblazer Is a God (3)
Chapter 478: The Trailzer Is a God (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Devotees often im that, at some juncture, the god was alive. They might even assert having a vivid portrayal or detailed description.
But he never believed it.
If there were gods who saved mortals from suffering, why didn¡¯t they appear when the domains were invaded?
Why didn¡¯t the gods intervene to save mortals when their cities were gued by domain creatures, and countless living beings were cruelly killed and disced?
Why didn¡¯t the omniscient and omnipotent gods, as described by devotees, consistently manifest during critical moments?
Instead, they consistently appear at seemingly unimportant times, deliberately adding a sense of mystery to the situation.
In the end, the domain fields were dispersed and the soldiers at the front line fought bloody battles.
They used their flesh and blood to build The Wall and fought to the death one after another. They protected thest line of defense of humans and built the current five cities.
He did not discourage humans from believing in gods.
Even if the gods were illusory, they served as the spiritual sustenance for a few people in this era. They provided hope for the future and allowed these individuals to live with optimism.
To him, the gods were merely ornamental figures enshrined in the temple.
In his eyes, the pathfinders who had fought to protect human civilization were
the true gods.
At this thought, Feng Qi turned to look at it.
¡°Fog, why are you suddenly talking to me about gods? Is this rted to the
Miracle Bracelet?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The owner of the fog immediately nodded and continued.
¡ö¡¯I¡¯ve been bored these past few days and wanted to understand more about the structure of human society, so I wandered around the north of the city. In the end, I walked to a temple and realized that the Miracle Bracelet reacted¡¡± Listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi gradually understood the situation.
ording to the owner of the fog, after it entered the temple, it realized that the Miracle Bracelet reacted to the worshipped statues.
He was puzzled about this.
Hence, itunched an investigation.
In the end, it discovered something strange. It realized that the Miracle Bracelet seemed to be able to absorb some kind of energy from those statues.
This energy waspletely different from Spiritual Qi. It was extremely difficult to sense and would not radiate energy fluctuations.
Therefore, it began to study this energy.
Because of this, it searched for collections of human myths on the Inte.
It turned out that this form of energy was documented in mythology and referred to as faith.
It was pure mental power.
In mythology, this power was considered an offering to the gods and something that the gods could consume.
The owner of the fog scoffed at the human gods.
It felt that if humans had the protection of the gods, they wouldn¡¯t have fallen
into such an embarrassing state.
However, faith was an energy that could be exined scientifically.
It was a special energy gathered by pure mental power, and it could not be utilized through the normal means of absorbing energy for this unique form of mental power.
From this perspective, the owner of the fog began to study the Miracle
Bracelet.
After many attempts, it finally understood how to use the Miracle Bracelet. The function of the Miracle Bracelet was to use the power of faith to enhance itself.
The usage method was not difficult.
First, it had to build a statue of itself and ce a wisp of his consciousness and pure blood in it.
As long as believers worshipped this statue, it could soak up their faith. The function of the green bracelet was to summon the power of faith to itself regardless of distance and greatly strengthen its various abilities.
The phantom behind the humanoid leader they met on the ck Absolute
Ind was its ¡°faith body¡±.
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood.
Back then, when a phantom appeared behind the humanoid leader, its nsmen knelt and worshipped it. At that time, they guessed that this might be the power to summon their ancestors.
Now it seemed like that wasn¡¯t the case.
The humanoid leader transformed into a god within its n, absorbing the nsmen¡¯s faith to enhance its power.
After understanding the effect, he was a little surprised.
In his opinion, the Miracle Bracelet¡¯s ability seemed to be iparable to other miracle items. Its effect was useless.
The owner of the fog continued.
¡°By the way, I discovered something strange during the test. When I tried to worship my statue, I realized that my consciousness and body had a second connection. I could transmit power to myself through the statue.
¡°What do you mean by a second connection?
¡°I employed the Miracle Bracelet to channel energy to the statue, and the statue, in turn, conveyed a portion of that power to me. The Miracle Bracelet utilizes the statue as a transit station, enabling the transmission of power and abilities to believers connected mentally with the statue.
¡°This is somewhat simr to the method of borrowing divine power in human mythology.¡±
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood.
He realized that the Miracle Bracelet only had four effects.
1. Absorb the faith of believers regardless of distance.2. Ignore distance and establish a spiritual connection with believers.3. Disregard distance and transmit one¡¯s power to the believers.4. Disregard distance and exert control over the acquired power of faith directly to oneself.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
One¡¯s faith?
If he established a faith connection with his other self, would he be able to obtain the power of his other self regardless of distance and space?
With the characteristics of miracle items, he felt that it might be possible.
In the end, the traits of miracle items defiedmon sense.
No miracle item¡¯s effects could be exined by theory.
At the thought of this, his heart rippled.
Blood Source, Purple Soul, Psychokinesis¡ If he could tap into the abilities of his alternate self, navigating through each sacrifice timeline in the future would be more seamless. Perhaps he could even borrow the narrative to his advantage.
However, these were only his guesses.
Whether the Miracle Bracelet could transcend space, time, and distance to obtain the power of his other self waspletely unknown.
In this timeline, he could not prove whether this guess was feasible.
If he were to test it, he had to let his other self have the Miracle Bracelet.
Then, he would build a statue of a god so that he could establish a spiritual connection with it as a believer.
Only then could his other self use the Miracle Bracelet as a transit station to transfer power to him.
At the thought of this, the way he looked at the Miracle Bracelet changed, just as he was thinking about how to obtain the Miracle Bracelet, he saw the owner of the fog grab it and throw it at him.
¡°I¡¯ve researched how to use this item for you. You can decide how to utilize it in the future.¡±
¡°I suggest developing your believers and harnessing the power of their faith to grow stronger. asionally, you can also lend some power to your believers, reinforcing their faith in you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re giving this to me?¡±
Looking at the Miracle Bracelet in his hand, Feng Qi was stunned.
¡°We¡¯ll each have one. I have told you that you¡¯ll have a share of what I have.¡± As it spoke, the owner of the fog smiled brightly..

Taking the Miracle Bracelet thrown by the owner of the fog, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
After so many years of interaction, he knew how much the owner of the fog yearned for power.
Although the effect of the Miracle Bracelet was not as perfect as the blood stone, no one would think that mastering another power system would be a burden.
ording to the owner of the fog, the Miracle Bracelet could bring great growth potential.
As long as one had enough believers, years of worship could give one unimaginable faith power.
From a theoretical point of view, this growth method was simr to ¡°bing a god through faith¡± in myths.
He could gather the power of his believers and rise to the position of a true god.
Through the Miracle Bracelet, he could also establish a spiritual connection with all believers who provided the power of faith. He could also transmit a portion of his power to the believers to strengthen them.
He looked up at the owner of the fog with mixed feelings.
The owner of the fog had once said that if it could stand at the peak one day, he would definitely have a ce by his side.
Regardless of whether the owner of the fog would keep his promise, he had never taken this sentence seriously.
Ultimately, he intended to exploit the owner of the fog and thwart it at its inception.
He would not give it a chance to rise or even stand at the peak.
Nevertheless, he never denied that the owner of the fog treated him sincerely and regarded him as a brother in life and death.
At this moment, the owner of the fog stood up and smiled at him.
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, return to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base first. I¡¯ll stay here and wait for an opportunity toe into contact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute. We¡¯ll contact each other when the timees.¡± Putting away the surging emotions in his heart, he looked up at the owner of the fog and said.
¡°By the way, I have something to discuss with you.¡±
Under the owner of the fog¡¯s puzzled expression, he continued.
¡°So, during the past few days that I spent at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, I stumbled upon something peculiar. It appears that the institute is intentionally stifling the research on cultivation techniques while redirecting resources and talents to the spell research department.¡±
¡°Although spell research is important, cultivation techniques are the foundation of cultivation. This clearly goes against the original intention of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. I think there might be a conspiracy behind this.¡± Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog revealed a thoughtful expression.
After pondering for a moment, it looked up at Feng Qi.
¡°I understand what you mean. Do you think that the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute might have been infiltrated by other factions? This mysterious faction is likely using the resources and talents of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to create new spells for their race.¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s what I thought.¡± Feng Qi immediately nodded.
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog¡¯s expression turned solemn.
¡°If certain factions have infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, our n cannot proceed smoothly.¡±
Seeing the worry in the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes, Feng Qi could understand his mood.
From a historical point of view, the Tiger Soul Research Institute would eventually fall into the hands of the owner of the fog.
If the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute were under the control of a domain faction, they would end up in the hands of the owner of the fog.
But this was the conclusion he came to by observing this timeline from the perspective of understanding historical developments.
From the perspective of the owner of the fog, the situation was different.
The owner of the fog did not know the background and strength of the domain faction that might be behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The consequences of acting rashly might bring about a cmity.
As someone who could n for the future for a thousand years, how could he act rashly without knowing the details of his enemy?
Thinking of this, he looked at the owner of the fog and said.
¡°How about this? I¡¯ll try to investigate first and let you know when I have news. It¡¯s not time to give up yet.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t n on giving up. I just feel that the n to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute needs to be redesigned to take into ount these potential dangers.¡±
¡°I have to take down the Tiger Soul Research Institute. This concerns the promotion of Flesh Sacrifice.¡±
Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes as he looked at the owner of the fog who said this with a serious expression.
When it came to being stubborn, the owner of the fog was undoubtedly the epitome of obstinacy.
From beating Mu Qing up to bing the Pir God¡ the owner of the fog would never cower in the face of any challenge.
But its actions were honest.
For instance, during thest escort mission when it had to confront Mu Qing, it almost devised a spell capable of making it ¡°invisible¡± to avoid facing her.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was because of its cautious personality that it became one of the greatest winners in the future.
At this moment, the owner of the fog interrupted his thoughts.
¡°It¡¯s best for you to exercise caution at the Tiger Soul Research Institute. You¡¯re currently just an experimenter, and ess to the core information of the institute may be restricted. Engaging in unusual behavior could draw unwanted attention.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll act ording to the situation. I won¡¯t risk my life.¡±
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog immediately nodded.
¡°Good. Wait for me to interact with the Tiger Soul Research Institute before considering the follow-up investigation.¡±
After chatting for a while, Feng Qi left the owner of the fog¡¯s room.
After walking out of the hotel, he took a taxi.
When he returned to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base, it was already 2 a.m..
He paid for the car with his phone and got out of the car.
He looked up and saw an approximately ten-foot-tall metal door in front of him. There were cameras installed every approximately 33 feet on the walls of the base on both sides..
Chapter 480 - 480: Fishing Plan (2)
Chapter 480: Fishing n (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The pir of light on the tall watchtower behind the wall scanned the vicinity of the base and checked the surrounding situation.
Arriving at the metal door, Feng Qi took out his ID card from his pocket. Beep!
After the card was swiped, the green light scanned his body, and the metal door slowly opened.
It was alreadyte at night, but the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base was still brightly lit.
It was the same for every research institute.
It worked non-stop for 24 hours. The researchers did not have fixed working hours.
Typically, upon waking, they would engage in work and rest when fatigue set in.
There were also frequent instances where researchers didn¡¯t take a break for an entire day and night.
For example, when inspiration struck.
If they couldn¡¯t document their inspiration, there was a high chance they wouldn¡¯t be able to recapture the feeling of inspiration, potentially leading to a missed opportunity for spell innovation.
After passing through two security checks, he entered the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
A momentter, Feng Qi returned to his room.
Sitting on the bed, he looked down at the Miracle Bracelet on his left wrist.
This bracelet appeared to beposed of pure energy. A green stream of light extended with a long tail, swirling around the center to create the bracelet.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and dragged out the metal box under the bed that contained the memory-erase potion.
After unlocking and opening it, he ced the Miracle Bracelet inside.
To him, who was on the sacrifice timeline, the effect of the Miracle Bracelet was almost useless.
It was too eye-catching to wear, so it was better to put it away for the time being.
On the way back, he had considered sending the Miracle Bracelet to the Scarlet Research Institute to be stored and handed over to his other self 1,500 yearster.
This way, his other self could obtain another miracle item without any effort.
The n to use the Miracle Bracelet as a medium to transmit power could also be tested.
But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up on this idea for now.
If he wanted to continue this timeline, he needed to stay by the owner of the fog¡¯s side.
Seeing that he was not wearing the Miracle Bracelet, the owner of the fog would be puzzled and ask where the Miracle Bracelet was.
If he could not answer this question, it would affect the subsequent development of this timeline.
Therefore, keeping the Miracle Bracelet by his side was the best choice at this stage.
He pushed the metal cylinder containing the items into the metal box. With the sound of metal colliding, the box automatically locked. The three red lights above switched to green in refrigeration mode.
He pushed the metal box back under the bed.
After washing up, he turned off the lights andy on the bed with his eyes closed.
From the moment he returned to Star City, the future of history was no longer clear. He could only take it one step at a time.
As he was thinking about his worries, sleepiness overwhelmed him.
Hey on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, when he woke up, he met Lin Ran at the cafeteria of the sub-base.
During the meal, they did not talk about him applying for leavest night.
When Feng Qi returned to theboratory, he exined the situation without waiting for Lin Ran to ask.
When he learned that the owner of the fog had given him the Miracle Bracelet, Lin Ran was also shocked.
¡°Brother Qi, if not for your differing perspectives, the two of you might have truly be friends.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
After so many years of interaction, we can be considered friends. However, our perspectives are fated to be on opposite sides. The path it wants to take is also one of my obstacles.¡±
Lin Ran didn¡¯t say anything and just nodded silently.
After exining the situation, they talked about how to investigate the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The owner of the fog said that it would investigate when it arrived. It felt that he was only an experimenter who had just joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute. He did not have any influence or authority and could not investigate anything.
If he acted rashly, he would alert them.
But the owner of the fog didn¡¯t know that he had Lin Ran by his side.
Lin Ran¡¯s status in the Tiger Soul Research Institute was unique.
He had be the founder of a spell school at a young age and had a transcendent status in the entire spell world.
In terms of poprity, it was something that no spells or cultivation techniques researchers in the Tiger Soul Research Institute could reach.
While he hadn¡¯t reached the core executive level yet, the Tiger Soul Research
Institute would essentially meet Lin Ran¡¯s requests.
This time, investigating the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute was deemed impossible. He hoped that the hidden domain factions might take the initiative to reveal themselves.
During the discussion, Feng Qi raised an idea.
They needed to throw out a bait to lure the possible hidden domain factions into it.
And this bait had to be attractive enough.
Since there might be a behind-the-scenes domain faction controlling the Tiger
Soul Research Institute for the sake of researching spells, he would give them a big show first.
Then, he would use this bait to lure the ¡°fox¡± to reveal its tail.
As the discussion continued, the n was gradually perfected.
That night, they decided to officially carry out this n.
Before that, Feng Qi called the owner of the fog first.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
Noisy voices came from the other end of the phone, making Feng Qi realize that the owner of the fog seemed to be outside.
¡°Where are you now?¡± At the thought of this, he could not help but ask curiously.
¡±I¡¯m dancing in a club. I don¡¯tprehend why moving one¡¯s head can bring joy to these humans.¡±
Realizing that the owner of the fog was experiencing human life again, he was speechless. Then, he said.
¡°Let¡¯s find a ce to talk.¡±
¡°Just a moment.¡±
The noise on the phone gradually faded away..
Chapter 481 - 481: Fishing Plan (3)
Chapter 481: Fishing n (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
A momentter, the owner of the fog¡¯s voice sounded again.
¡°I¡¯ve left that stupid ce. I can talk now.¡±
When Feng Qi heard that, he nodded and said.
¡°I¡¯ll send you a listter. Pay attention to the alliance of weak domain races in Star City. Let me know if you find anything.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡± The owner of the fog asked in surprise.
¡°I want to catch a big fish.¡±
Feng Qi¡¯s ¡°fishing n¡± this time was not tooplicated.
If the Tiger Soul Research Institute had indeed been infiltrated by domain factions, one thing was certain.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute had allocated resources to the spell research department and dispatched talents to enhance their spell research. Clearly, they aimed to leverage the institute¡¯s resources and expertise to advance spell research for their race.
This also exined why the spell department had toplete the spell research mission assigned by the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
This was because these mission requirements were what the domain faction wanted.
Since they desired the spells necessary for the mission, Feng Qi decided to dangle a substantial lure for them.
However, there were some prerequisites to perfecting this lure.
After the n officially began, Lin Ran sent an email to the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the email, he exined one thing.
He asked the experimenter, Feng Qi, to look through the spell data required for the mission. However, he did not expect thetter to set up an excellent system for the spell structure required for the mission.
After his examination, this excellent system could be a reality¡
This email was mainly to send three messages to the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
1. Feng Qi, who had identally flipped through the requirements of the spell mission, came up with a set of spell system settings that far exceeded the requirements of the mission.2. Feng Qi seemed to have unimaginable talent in the field of spell research.3. Following professional scrutiny, Feng Qi¡¯s spell system can seamlessly materialize.
After this step was over, he would make a series of requests to the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
However, his requests were not normal.
He needed some special materials that could not be obtained through normal channels to test if the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute were under the control of a domain faction.
For example, the miracle blood stone (derivative).
When the time came, he would describe that he needed an extremely pure blood essence to use during the spell technique experiment.
The miracle blood stone generated from the blood stone served as a valuable currency within the alliance of weak domain races, but it had no existence in human society.
Fragments of blood stones were only one of the items on the list.
He would use the description of the other special materials to make the possible domain factions realize what kind of resource it was.
He felt that as long as the lure was huge enough, the fish would take the bait.
At that time, the alliance of weak domain races in Star City would receive news and be mercenaries who collected these resources.
It was just like when the owner of the fog hired them to go to ck Absolute Ind.
As long as there was a w, the owner of the fog would know immediately.
This was also the main reason why he asked the owner of the fog to investigate ording to the list.
However, this ¡°fishing n¡± was not without hidden dangers.
The biggest problem was that if there was no domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute, this series of actions might cause trouble for Lin Ran. Fortunately, it was very normal for the research of spells to fail.
However, trading such substantial resources for failure meant that Lin Ran was highly likely to face criticism from the higher-ups at the Tiger Soul Research Institute..
Chapter 482 - 482: Fish Takes the Bait (1)
Chapter 482: Fish Takes the Bait (1)

Three dayster, at the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
Spell Laboratory 3.
After breakfast, Feng Qi and Lin Ran arrived at the spellboratory.
As soon as they entered, they saw three spell researchers working in front of the control panel with dark circles under their eyes.
It was obvious that they had not slept the entire night.
Observing Feng Qi and Lin Ran¡¯s arrival, they remained engrossed in their work, not bothering to look up. They were still absorbed in their world.
After sitting down in the center of the control panel, Lin Ran opened his email.
A red email was pinned on the front page of the mailbox. ¡°Whether it can seed depends on the content of the reply.¡± ncing at Feng Qi, Lin Ran opened the email.
Feng Qi¡¯s eyes swept across the contents of the email and a smile appeared on his face.
Just as he had expected, the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute were interested in his spell structure and expressed their full support for perfecting it.
During this period, he could ask for anything.
The first step of the n had been sessful.
He was not surprised by the full support of the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Even if the higher-ups were not infiltrated by domain factions, there was a high chance that they would fully support this research.
This was because this spell research had been verified by Lin Ran.
The higher-ups might have doubts about his spell concept, but they definitely wouldn¡¯t doubt Lin Ran.
However, the next test was the key to the investigation.
ording to the original n, they sent an email to the higher-ups on the same day.
In addition to exining the feasibility of the spell, there was also a list of spiritual materials needed during the research of the spell.
Specific materials are as follows:
1. In the early stages of spell research, every release is inherently unstable. It necessitates extremely pure blood essence spiritual resources to aid the caster in spell casting. (The purer the blood essence, the better the effect, significantly assisting in spell research and increasing the sess rate.)2. Spiritual stones with cold and exceptionally pure attributes. (These are employed in the Spiritual Qi fusion stage test. Once the spell trajectory in the conceptual stage is established,bining it with the pure cold attribute Spiritual Qi might significantly enhance the spell¡¯s power.)3. High-quality spiritual nts¡
There were a total of 32 spiritual materials on the list.
Half of the materials only had concepts and use descriptions, but there was no specific name for the spiritual materials.
To dispel the concerns of the higher-ups, he wrote many reasons for Lin Ran¡¯s cooperation.
These reasons and requirements make the materials on the list seem more reasonable.
The owner of the fog also had a copy of the same list.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t need to do anything for the rest of the n. He just had to wait for the owner of the fog¡¯s reply.
Three dayster.
It was alreadyte at night, but Star City was still brightly lit.
At this moment, the owner of the fog was wearing a hood and walking on the crowded street with its hands in its pockets.
It swerved to the side to evade the automated cleaning robot sweeping the road. Turning into the alley, it reached the front of a bar named Armageddon.
A que was also situated in front of the bar.
It described the bar¡¯s characteristics in detail, and at the end, there was a striking sentence with a red logo.
[This bar is exclusive to members only. Non-members are not permitted to enter. To be a member, you require a rmendation from an existing member.]
The owner of the fog was no stranger to this bar.
Through the rmendation of the ck shadow faction behind the Science
and Technology Research Institute, it learned that there were many weak race alliance members in Star City.
When he went to the ck Absolute Domain Field to snatch the Miracle Bracelet, it had hired a group of ¡°workers¡± here.
It had almost died at the hands of those workers. Fortunately, Feng Qi had risked his life to protect it.
This Armageddon bar was one of the strongholds of the weak race alliance in
Star City.
At this moment, it walked in.
After walking along the dimly lit passageway for more than 33 feet, he stood in front of an iron door.
After knocking on the door, the iron window on the iron door was opened, and a pair of eyes began to scan the situation outside.
A hoarse voice came from behind the door.
¡°What do you want?¡±
¡°To enter the bar, of course. If not, why do you think I¡¯m here?¡± The owner of the fog stated bluntly.
¡°Are you a regr?¡±
¡°Yes, code 33210.¡±
¡°Wait a moment.¡± The iron window was closed.
After waiting for a few minutes, with the sound of gears turning, the iron door was slowly opened.
Behind the door stood a tall man more than six feet tall. His body was covered in all kinds of messy runes, and themotion inside filled its ears.
When the man moved aside to make way, the owner of the fog saw the scene inside the bar clearly.
The space inside was spacious, and the facilities were no different from ordinary bars.
The guests here looked normal, basically drinking and fooling around. There was nothing unusual.
However, the owner of the fog knew that everything here was just a disguise for the outside world.
At this moment, it came to the bar and looked at the sexy bartender.
¡°Give me a cup of mission.¡±
Hearing this, the bartender nodded tacitly and began a dazzling series of operations.
A momentter, she dripped a drop of liquid with purple mist into the wine ss.
It took the ¡°mission¡± from the bartender and downed it in one gulp.
At this moment, it entered its sea of consciousness.
The purple energy seeped into its sea of consciousness and spread out like a scroll.
What appeared in its consciousness was a mission list issued by various domain factions.
Assassinations, plundering of resources, intelligence investigations, delivery¡ There were many tasks on the list.
In addition to the mission requirements, there was also a reward afterpleting the mission..
Chapter 483 - 483: Fish Takes the Bait (2)
Chapter 483: Fish Takes the Bait (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Finally, there was the processing fee that needed to be provided to the weak race alliance to ept the mission.
While ncing at the mission list, he focused on the date on it, followed by the requirements.
As he kept searching, he began topare the list of items provided by Feng Qi.
Bloodstone, Ice Soul, Fire Spiritual nt¡ There were many mission requirements on the mission list that corresponded to the list provided by Feng Qi. At the same time, the dates could also correspond.
This discovery made the owner of the fog more or less certain.
The higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been infiltrated by the domain factions.
However, the other possibility could not be ruled out.
The higher-ups were not infiltrated by the domain factions, but they knew of the existence of the weaker race alliance. This time, they wanted to use the weaker race alliance to help them.
However, no matter what, it would know after giving it a try.
Thinking of this, it looked at the mission that required bloodstones.
It was easy toplete this mission. After all, it had an iplete miracle blood stone in its body that was generating small blood stones every second.
However, what made it curious was¡
Where did the blood stones in the hands of the weak race alliance memberse from?
It was interested in this and decided to investigate this matter after officially taking control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Perhaps it could acquire another iplete segment of the miracle blood stone, further enhancing thepleteness of the miracle blood stone within its body.
It left the sea of consciousness at this moment.
When it opened its eyes, it saw the bartender smiling at him.
¡°Are you keen on any mission?¡±
¡°Mission Number: 132452.¡±
When the bartender heard this, she immediately nodded and smiled.
¡°It¡¯s the rule to pay the processing fee first when epting a mission.¡±
The owner of the fog was no stranger to this. It immediately took out three extremely pure spiritual crystals.
¡°Do you ept this?¡±
When the bartender heard this, she did not answer.
After taking the spiritual crystals, she turned around and went to an instrument. Then, she ced the spiritual crystals in.
As she waited, the values on the instrument began to jump.
The final value was 1325-193.
¡°The first two numbers represent the amount of Spiritual Qi, and thest one represents the quality of Spiritual Qi.¡±
After confirming the value of the spiritual crystals, the bartender took out five crystal coins made of spiritual stones from the counter and pushed them in front of the owner of the fog.
¡°The value exceeded expectations, so consider this a refund for you.¡±
Reaching out to take the crystal coins, the owner of the fog could not help but nod and say.
¡°I¡¯m surprised!¡±
¡°Wait here for a moment. I¡¯ll go get the mission document for you.¡± With that, the bartender turned around and walked behind the counter.
When she returned, she had a document in her hand.
After receiving the document, the owner of the fog was about to leave when the bartender smiled and asked.
¡°Do you need an illusion service? I can weave all the beautiful dreams you want. Power, authority¡ Any of your desires can be satisfied in the dreams I create for you.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t afford it.¡± The owner of the fog couldn¡¯t help but roll its eyes.
Ignoring the bartender, it stood up and left the bar.
When the burly man in charge of guarding the iron gate saw him arrive, he did not ask and immediately opened the iron gate.
After leaving the bar, the owner of the fog turned into a secluded corner. After taking off its hood, it looked at the document in its hand.
It was pitch-ck all around, but everything was clearly visible in its vision.
At this moment, it opened the mission document.
On it were more detailed mission requirements. In addition, there was also the contact information of the employer.
And that was exactly what it wanted.
After taking out its phone, it dialed the number marked on the document.
After waiting for a moment, the call went through, but no sound came from the other end.
¡°I have what you want.¡± The owner of the fog spoke first.
¡°Which mission are you referring to?¡± As if realizing the owner of the fog¡¯s intention, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡°Blood Stone.¡±
¡°I need 100 of them. How many can you provide?¡±
¡°100!¡±
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised. After a short silence, the hoarse voice continued to ask.
¡°What do you want in exchange?¡±
¡°An extra 10% of your mission reward.¡±
There was another short silence. A response came again on the other end of the line.
¡°Tomorrow at this time, we¡¯ll trade in person at the Armageddon bar.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
After hanging up, the owner of the fog put on its hood, turned around, and walked towards the hotel.
Now, it was the third step of the fishing n.
The first step of Feng Qi¡¯s fishing n was to submit the mission list and obtain the approval of the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The second step was to use the list to determine if the higher-ups were rted to the weaker domain races.
What he had just done was the second step of the investigation.
Now that this step of the investigation was over, the third step could finally begin.
The next day,te at night.
Armageddon bar.
In the noisy environment, the owner of the fog donned a hood and patiently awaited the arrival of the employer.
On the table in front of it, table number 32 was brightly lit.
Bored, it picked up the wine ss on the table and took a small sip.
¡°Pui!¡±
As soon as the wine entered its mouth, it spat it out.
As expected, blood was still the most delicious liquid. It could not help butin inwardly.
As it continued to wait, a figure slowly walked over from afar.
He wore a mask on his face, and his entire body was tightly wrapped without any openings. He He had no intention of revealing his true identity.
It was this attire that attracted the owner of the fog¡¯s attention..
Chapter 484 - 484: Fish Takes the Bait (3)
Chapter 484: Fish Takes the Bait (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
If he were a domain creature that had infiltrated the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he would not expose his identity.
Just like the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, not revealing their identity was the smartest choice. Revealing their identity was equivalent to ying cards in front of a bunch ofpetitors.
Back then, it had used Wang Yi¡¯s identity to recruit soldiers here because it could abandon Wang Yi¡¯s identity at any time and didn¡¯t care at all.
However, the domain factions that had infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute wouldn¡¯t do so.
After all, not everyone could change their identities at will.
Just as it had expected, the mysterious man¡¯s gaze swept around and finally focused on the glowing table number 32.
After the mysterious person sat down in front of it, the owner of the fog decisively grabbed the leather bag beside it and ced it on the table. Then, it unzipped the bag to reveal the small blood stones inside.
¡°Where¡¯s my stuff?¡±
Seeing that the owner of the fog was so direct, the mysterious person was stunned. Then, he took out several purple crystals from his pocket.
He reached out to take the purple crystals and began to inspect them.
At this moment, the mysterious person took the bag and began to count the number of small blood stones inside.
Compared to the owner of the fog, the mysterious person was cautious. Other than counting the quantity, he also used his mental power to check the quality of the small blood stones.
10 minutester, the mysterious man stood up and walked towards the iron gate.
Seeing this, the owner of the fog immediately followed.
The fish had taken the bait. How could it let him go?
It didn¡¯t dare to rashly infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute to investigate because it didn¡¯t know how powerful the domain faction that infiltrated the institute was.
If it sneaked in rashly, it might not be able to return. It had to be careful.
But now, the opportunity hade.
When it walked out of the iron gate, the mysterious person had already disappeared.
At this moment, the owner of the fog closed its eyes. Immediately, mental power spread rapidly with it as the center.
The mysterious person holding the blood stones was like a light in the night in its perception, clearly visible.
At this moment, he looked up at the sky and grinned sinisterly.
Turning into the darkness in the corner, it transformed into a fog and flew into the sky, quickly chasing after the target that its perception had locked onto.
Soon, it saw the mysterious man flying at high speed.
The mysterious man seemed to have noticed it and began to elerate. At the same time, he took out something that looked like amunication device and appeared to be saying something.
Realizing that the mysterious person was about to flee, it decisively increased its speed.
Under the mysterious man¡¯s disbelieving gaze, the gray fog quickly approached and wrapped around his legs, continuously spreading to his upper body.
The gray fog had an extremely strong corrosive effect.
But this time, the owner of the fog didn¡¯t release the corrosive ability of the gray fog.
Because it wanted this body.
Next, it would use this new body to understand the secrets of the Tiger Soul Research Institute in detail.
Under the mysterious man¡¯s terrified expression, his body waspletely enveloped by the fog. Arge amount of gray fog surged into his sea of consciousness and spread continuously.
The possession was officially activated.
Thissted for a long time.
When the owner of the fog opened its eyes again, its consciousness and power had already switched to its new body.
New memory fragments surged in his mind.
However, it did not scan these memories. At this moment, it sensed a force approaching quickly.
It realized that the mysterious man¡¯s reinforcements had arrived.
It looked at the unconscious body of ¡°Wang Yi¡±.
Without hesitation, it used the gray fog to push Wang Yi¡¯s body in front of him. Then, it controlled the gray fog to corrode the body and leave many wounds.
When it was done, it began to wait.
When the rapidly approaching aura was about to appear in its vision, the owner of the fog decisively stabbed its arm into the chest of ¡°Wang Yi¡± and faked a scene of killing the invading enemy.
This scene happened to be seen by the figure who rushed over to provide support.
Havingpleted all these actions, the owner of the fog decisively closed its eyes and descended from the sky.
It had yet to read the contents of the mysterious man¡¯s memories carefully.
It was unwise to rashlye into contact with the domain forces behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute. It was better to pretend to be unconscious.
If the content of the memories it obtained was limited, it might as well pretend to be seriously injured and lose its memory.
This way, it would not arouse suspicion.
The n was perfect.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the owner of the fog¡¯s face.
But soon, it could not smile anymore.
Its body was still falling, but the figure who came to support him had note to receive him yet.
Bastard, if you don¡¯t save me in time, this new body is going to crash into the ground!

Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
On the rooftop.
Feng Qi sat on the rattan chair, sipping tea and lost in thought.
It had been half a month since the Tiger Soul Research Institute replied.
Most of the spiritual materials on the list had been collected by the Tiger Soul
Research Institute and sent to the sub-base.
Among them were too miracle blood stones.
When he saw the too small blood stones, he knew that these small blood stones were most likely rted to the owner of the fog.
The derivative bloodstones were extremely valuable to the members of the weak race alliance.
It could fundamentally increase the growth potential of a race.
Perhaps this improvement was negligible.
However, considering the future development of the race, it undeniably elevated the starting point and offered a broader potential for the future.
Many races might not be willing to give up such a treasure that could change the fate of their race.
To be able to give up loo blood stones at once, other than the domain factions that grasped the iplete portion of the miracle blood stones, the owner of the fog was the only one.
Therefore, he guessed that the owner of the fog might havee into contact with the domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
But until today, he had not received a reply from the owner of the fog.
This worried him.
He felt that something might have happened to the owner of the fog during the investigation.
He could only choose to wait.
He believed that with the owner of the fog¡¯s ability, it could handle any problem.
At least from a historical point of view, the owner of the fog had sessfully infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute and firmly controlled it.
At that moment, his phone vibrated.
He took out his phone and realized that it was a call from an unknown number.
Without hesitation, he picked up the call.
¡°Ah Qi, I¡¯ve sessfully entered the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s
headquarters.¡±
Upon hearing an unfamiliar voice addressing him as Ah Qi, Feng Qi realized, after a brief moment of shock, that the owner of the fog had switched bodies.
From the owner of the fog¡¯s words, it seemed to have used its new body to infiltrate the domain faction that secretly controlled the Tiger Soul Research
Institute.
At this thought, he immediately asked.
¡°Tell me in detail what you found out.¡±
¡°Just as you guessed, the Tiger Soul Research Institute has long been infiltrated
by other factions.¡±
¡°This faction is called the Night Shadow Race. They have infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute for more than to years. During this period, they erased the consciousness of the higher-ups and controlled them through spiritual parasitism. They also used the resources obtained by the Tiger Soul Research Institute to strengthen their race.¡±
¡°Recently, their goal has been to create a super spell. This is also the reason why they don¡¯t want the spell genius Lin Ran to research cultivation
techniques¡¡±
Listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi gradually understood the truth.
ording to the owner of the fog, a few days ago, it used the weak race alliance as a tform toe into contact with the Night Shadow Race members behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Using the transaction as a cover, it sessfully possessed the body of a member of the Night Shadow Race.
However, the process of possession was not smooth sailing. There was a small ident.
It was almost discovered by the members of the Night Shadow Race who came to support it. Fortunately, it managed to deal with it safely and avoided the first contact by fainting.
In the end, it was brought back to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters in aa.
While pretending to be unconscious, something interesting happened.
After it was brought back to the headquarters, the members of the Night
Shadow Race conducted a detailed physical examination of it.
It was especially puzzled by the fact that its eyes and hair had turned purple.
In the end, after some examination, an elder of the Night Shadow Race concluded. Its body had been corroded by some mysterious power in that battle, causing its hair and pupils to turn purple.
The owner of the fog, who was still thinking about how to exin the changes in its body, resolved a difficult problem that it was about to face.
The owner of the fog was very emotional about this.
It felt that pretending to be unconscious could indeed solve many problems. During the few days it was unconscious, it kept flipping through the memories of this new body.
From this, it learned about the process of the Night Shadow Race infiltrating the Tiger Soul Research Institute and what they had done after taking control of it.
Using the resources of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Night Shadow Race developed very quickly over the years.
He would also infiltrate and control the few domainbat teams that listened to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Now that the development of the Night Shadow Race had stabilized, they also began to conceptualize theprehensive strength increase of their race.
One of the core ns was the Super Spell Concept.
They wanted to create a super spell that was perfectlypatible with the Night Shadow Race to increase thebat strength of their members.
This n had begun before Lin Ran joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute. However, before this, the primary research focus of the Tiger Soul Research Institute was ¡°cultivation techniques,¡± and their investment in spell research was less than 20%.
Other than that, there was no absolute leader in spell research at the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The n to create a super spell had been put on hold for a long time.
It wasn¡¯t until Lin Ran appeared that the Night Shadow Race saw the hope of creating a super spell.
The resources of the Tiger Soul Research Institute also began to gradually lean towards the research of spells. This was also the reason why the Night Shadow Race kept assigning spell research missions to Lin Ran and didn¡¯t give him any freedom to use them.
They intended to leverage Lin Ran¡¯s talent to tailor-make the spells they desired.
The owner of the fog exined the super spell in detail over the phone.
The super spells envisioned by the Night Shadow Race wereplicated. They were more like abination of spells.
This spell could fuse the energy released by the members of the Night Shadow Race and finally turn into a Dharma God. All the nsmen¡¯s consciousness would be one and control the Dharma God to fight..
Chapter 486 - 486: Night Shadow Race (2)
Chapter 486: Night Shadow Race (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The more nsmen who used super spells, therger the Dharma God, and the stronger itsbat strength.
Over the years, he hadpleted one-third of the research on the Dharma God by assigning spell missions to Lin Ran.
The Night Shadow Race believed that as long as Lin Ran continued to work hard, their super spells would undoubtedly materialize.
The Night Shadow Race could be said to be growing by taking advantage of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Resources, talents¡ All the power that could be used became nutrients for the Night Shadow Race to develop and grow.
However, after understanding the secret of the Night Shadow Race, the owner of the fog expressed that it was more confident in seizing the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Because the Night Shadow Race¡¯s strength was far from what it had imagined.
The reason why it could sessfully infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute was because the Night Shadow Race had grasped a special ability to control minds. Furthermore, they had unintentionally captured a higher-up of the Tiger Soul Research Institute in the outside world. Only then did they open up a channel to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Otherwise, in the eyes of the owner of the fog, it would be difficult for the Night Shadow Race to even enter the headquarters of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
However, the owner of the fog was describing the former Night Shadow Race.
The current strength of the Night Shadow Race was no longer the same as before.
With more than 10 years of resources, coupled with the fact that the Night Shadow Race¡¯s resource conversion efficiency far exceeded that of humans, their strength increased rapidly.
Through checking the memories of the new body, the owner of the fog also discovered a major w in the Night Shadow Race.
In the years that they had infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Night Shadow Race¡¯s internal affairs were divided and filled with conflict.
The main reason was rted to the allocation of resources.
The power structure of the Night Shadow Race bore some resemnce to the high-level structure of Star City.
The highest authority in Star City was controlled by the Star City Council. The members of the Star City Council were the highest leaders of the military and various research institutes.
The future development of Star City and the allocation of resources were discussed and decided by the Star City Supreme Council after a meeting.
It was the same for the Night Shadow Race.
The n was divided into three factions controlled by the three elders.
The position of the patriarch was rotated.
Members of the rotating faction were chosen every 20 years to assume the position of patriarch.
That was the problem.
Since infiltrating the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Night Shadow Race¡¯s development has entered the fast track.
With the substantial resources provided by the front line, they made incredible progress in thest two decades.
A small race like the Night Shadow Race was inconspicuous in the domain world. They could even be ssified as a weak race.
In their original world, they were deemed a lower-tier race andcked resources.
To the Night Shadow Race, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was an endless treasure trove.
The problem, however, was the imbnce in the distribution of resources.
This problem had been around for a long time in the Night Shadow Race.
Every time it was a faction¡¯s turn to be the patriarch, they would always seek more benefits for their faction.
Back then, resources were scarce, so this problem was not outstanding.
After all, resources were scarce from the outset. Whether there were more or less, the difference wasn¡¯t significant, and it wouldn¡¯t change anything.
Even if the difference was significant, they would be recovered in the next 20 years.
However, the problem was that these 20 years hadpletely changed the Night Shadow Race.
Confronted with the vast resources brought by the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the three major factions were exceedingly hungry for them.
Obtaining the position of the patriarch would bring unimaginable benefits to their faction.
And that was the truth.
Excluding the consumption of scientific research, the current patriarch¡¯s faction obtained more than 80% of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s resources. The remaining 20% was distributed by the other two factions.
This caused the other two factions to feel unbnced. There were obvious cracks in the Night Shadow Race.
This was what the owner of the fog thought of this problem.
It sensed that the Night Shadow Race had been constrained by a mentality of weakness.
The discord within the n was rted to themon goal of not having a long-term n.
Inparison, the Star City Supreme Council was different.
Themon goal of the internal members was to disperse the domain field and help human civilization develop rapidly.
These topics were also at the core of discussions at each summit.
The distribution of resources and the n of Star City were also discussed from this perspective.
Although they had different opinions, the general direction was the same.
But the Night Shadow Race was different.
Before they came to the human world, they had always been at the lowest level of the domain world.
Being alive was their first goal. There was no target around them that they needed to fight together.
Without a higher-level opponent, the nsmen of the other factions around them were theirpetitors.
As a result, this race¡¯s way of thinking was always selfish.
The three major factions within the n were akin to the three factions within a country. While they cooperated on the surface, there was an underlying desire to acquire more.
Regarding their unfair behavior towards their nsmen, the owner of the fog regarded it as a disy of ¡°weak race thinking¡±.
After listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s analysis, Feng Qi could not help but ask what ¡°strong race thinking¡± was.
This was how the owner of the fog answered this question.
It said that what modern humans had was ¡°strong race thinking¡±.
Strength and the way one thought about problems were two different things.
Disregarding strength, before the arrival of Spiritual Qi, humans were undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in this world.
They had the absolute right to speak in this world.
Who was considered livestock, who was the protected animal¡ All the rules were established by humans.
Therefore, after their home was invaded, the first thing humans thought of was to resist the invasion and take back their home.
At this moment, all the internal conflicts turned into cohesion.
When faced with a desperate situation, one would think of resisting. This was a manifestation of the thinking of the powerful races.
If the same challenge was ced in front of the Night Shadow Race, the Night Shadow Race would only choose to submit and be willing to be the ve of the new ruler.
Then they would revert to their lives at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
Feng Qi was deeply moved by the owner of the fog¡¯s analysis.
At the end of the call, the owner of the fog expressed its next thoughts.
The ¡°fishing n¡± had undoubtedly seeded.
The n was divided into four parts.
1. Find out if there is a domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute through the weak race alliance tform.2. After confirming that there was a domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it would ept missions to contact the domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.3. Use the mission requirements to create an opportunity for possession.4. Infiltrate the domain faction behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute to obtain more information.
Now, the four steps of the n had seeded.
The next n was to disintegrate the faction and take over the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In this aspect, Feng Qi could not provide any help or reference to the owner of the fog.
The owner of the fog said on the phone that its n for the time being was to try to split the Night Shadow Race internally and rope in some of their nsmen.
Of course, it was using its current identity as a Night Shadow Race member to rope them in.
It decided to employ the tactics of a provocateur to incite internal conflicts among the Night Shadow Race.
There was another very important reason why it decided to take this step.
The owner of the fog indicated that it was in the sky after the possession waspleted.
In order not to expose itself, it chose to close its eyes and pretend to be unconscious. Then, its body fell from the sky.
In the end, the members of the current patriarch¡¯s faction of the Night Shadow Race did note to save him. Instead, they watched him fall from the sky.
They did note to help until its body fell to the ground.
In the end, the nsmen of its faction rushed over and carried it back to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters for emergency treatment.
From this, it could be seen that the conflict within the Night Shadow Race was serious.
Compared to conquering with force, the owner of the fog expressed that it preferred to use its intelligence to defeat its opponent.
Only such a victory could bring about the greatest satisfaction.
After hanging up, Feng Qi could not help but sigh at the owner of the fog¡¯s ability.
However, he didn¡¯t agree with the owner of the fog¡¯sst words.
He felt that, inparison to defeating his opponent with wisdom, it was evidently more gratifying to use force to subdue his adversary.
He stuffed the phone back into his pocket and smiled.
After ending the call with the owner of the fog, the worry in his heart dissipated.
History might have changed because of his appearance, but in his opinion, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for the owner of the fog to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
When the owner of the fog officially took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, its strength would definitely grow rapidly.
At that time, he would be able to obtain a lot of useful information.
He would use the owner of the fog¡¯s power to eliminate a few domain factions and use violence to investigate.
For example, the Science and Technology Research Institute.
In the previous timeline, he had entered the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute, but the information he obtained was limited.
There were many secrets that he did not understand.
For example, ckie¡¯s secret and the mysterious genius, Mo.
He could use the owner of the fog¡¯s power to investigate these secrets..

Chapter 487 - 487: Spell Study (1)

Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
After breakfast, Feng Qi and Lin Ran arrived at Spell Laboratory 3 as usual.
He followed Lin Ran to the spell array device and began to observe Lin Ran¡¯s operation.
During this period, he had a better understanding of spell research.
He also understood how terrifying Lin Ran¡¯s talent in this aspect was.
There were many known Spiritual Qi attributes now.
In addition to the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Qi attributes, which were discovered earliest, there were also Wind, Thunder, Darkness, Light, Nature, Blood, and more. There were already more than 200 types of Spiritual Qi attributes that had been discovered.
Among them, there were still more than 20 unnamed attributes of Spiritual Qi. As for the Spirit Qi attributes that had not been discovered, there were countless types.
The plethora of Spirit Qi attributes was also an important reason why there were so many races in the domain world. Furthermore, each race had its unique abilities and talents.
For example, the domain creatures that lived in the Water Spiritual Qi world. They hade into contact with Water Spiritual Qi all year round. Under the nourishment of Water Spiritual Qi, they gradually grasped the ability to control the water element.
Along with the inheritance, this ability was imprinted in their bloodline.
Newborns were born with the talent to control the Water element.
Compared to domain races, human development was a little toote.
Spiritual Qi had only appeared in the human world for more than 500 years Under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, the physique of humans was indeed stronger every generation.
However,pared to the domain race that had umted for a long time, this growth speed could not make up for the difference.
The importance of spells and cultivation techniques was also disyed at this moment.
If the study of cultivation techniques involved a deep exploration of the human body¡¯s structure and mysteries, spell technique delved deeply into the attributes of the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
There was no difference in the research of cultivation techniques and spells.
However, for the current human civilization, cultivation techniques that could elerate human physical fitness were clearly more important.
In terms of difficulty, researching spells was no easier than researching cultivation techniques.
The core of spell research was to arrange andbine different Spiritual Qi attributes to produce the corresponding effect.
The process wasplex.
To create a spell, the prerequisite was that the spell researcher had a strong perception of the Spiritual Qi attribute.
This perception had a professional term in the field of spell research, also known as Spiritual Qi affinity.
If a spell researchercked Spiritual Qi affinity, it would be akin to color blindness in humans. Distinguishing the attributes of Spiritual Qi, let alone the subsequent arrangement andbination, would prove challenging.
Only with a strong affinity for Spiritual Qi could a spell researcherbine theplicated Spiritual Qi attributes to form a spell they wanted.
This threshold stopped arge number of talents who wanted to participate in the research of spells.
One of Lin Ran¡¯s amazing talents in spell research was his near-perfect elemental affinity.
Without the help of any equipment, he could clearly distinguish every element.
Simrly, using vision as an example.
If spell researchers without Spiritual Qi affinity could be likened to those who are color-blind or color-weak, then individuals with exceptional Spiritual Qi affinity like Lin Ran could be seen as possessing super vision.
In creative research, talent always came first.
Although hard work could close the distance between them and his talent, the gap between them could not be made up for with hard work.
Some people had solid theories, but if they couldn¡¯t pass the Spiritual Qi affinity test, they wouldn¡¯t be able to continue on the path of spell research.
Lin Ran was born with a unique advantage in spell research.
But this was only one of Lin Ran¡¯s talents in spell research.
The second problem in spell research was how to arrange andbine Spiritual Qi.
This step was the key to creating a spell.
The arrangement andbination of different elemental attributes could produce many interesting characteristics.
For example, the attribute arrangement andbination of an ordinary ¡°Water Ball Technique¡± did not only require Water Spiritual Qi but also other Spiritual Qi to help release it.
This was somewhat simr to the five elements described in ancient books.
When Water Spiritual Qi fused with a Spiritual Qi of another attribute, its power would increase greatly.
However,pared to the theory that the five elementsplemented and countered each other, there were morebinations in the research of spells in reality. It could even be described as endless.
In this aspect, every spell researcher was a pathfinder.
The knowledge umted by predecessors was limited. They could only use their sharp insight and creativity to try the arrangement of variousbinations.
Lin Ran was also extremely talented in this aspect.
He was like an architect.
Relying on his super Spiritual Qi affinity, Lin Ran could clearly sense the detailed effects of every Spiritual Qi attribute.
Coupled with his creativity, it was like building a house. He mixed all kinds of elemental attributes into one and formed a spell that he wanted.
This talent was associated with creativity and insight.
The power and effect of the spell createdpletely depended on the researcher¡¯s ability and talent.
The third threshold for a spell researcher was the trajectory of the spell.
Consciousness was the needle, weaving through myriad principles.
These words were the core content of the spell trajectory.
During the process of casting the spell, one¡¯s consciousness was like a needle that kept wandering through the Spiritual Qi particles in the air, connecting all the Spiritual Qi needed ording to the arrangement.
In the second phase, the arrangement andbination of spells only finalize the overall structure of the spell..
Chapter 488 - 488: Spell Study (2)
Chapter 488 - 488: Spell Study (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The perfecting of the spell trajectory was to allow the created spell to be used in practice.
Many spells would also be stuck at the third phase after passing the second.
It was especially so for thoseplicated spells that took a long time to be released. They were not suitable for actualbat.
Therefore, the trajectory of a spell was also important.
This was rted to the efficiency of the spell.
There could be a significant difference in the casting speed of a single spell in two different trajectories.
It was like every road led to Rome.
However, one was walking in a straight line, and the other was taking a detour.
The difference in time would definitely be obvious.
To the frontline warriors, the efficiency of casting spells was the guarantee of their own safety.
Due to the trajectory of spells, humans had eliminated at least tens of thousands of spells that had been researched.
Feng Qi had heard Lin Ran mention it before.
The most ridiculous spell that was eliminated back then was a spell called
Supreme Solitude.
At that time, the researcher who developed this spell spent half his life researching it from the perspective of its power.
The power of this spell was unique in the test at that time.
It set a new record on the Spell Damage Rankings with a value more than 10 times higher.
However, such a spell was ruthlessly eliminated in the end and only stored in the cultivation museums in various cities.
This spell was perfect in terms of arrangement andbination.
The only problem was its trajectory.
This was because it took about 18 hours to outline the trajectory.
In the words of the evaluator at that time, this spell was described as something akin to waste in atrine. It was deemed foul-smelling, lengthy, and devoid of meaning.
While it was normal forrge-scale spells to require a lengthy outlining process, this particr spell needed a certain level of efficiency. Frontline warriors didn¡¯t have 18 hours to spare, especially in small-scale battles within the domain field.
By the time the spell outline waspleted, the battle would be over.
More importantly, one could not make any mistakes during the process of outlining the trajectory. Otherwise, the trajectory would copse and fail entirely.
For instance, if a mistake urred in thest step after outlining it for 17 hours, one would have to restart the process and outline it for another 18 hours before being able to release the spell.
Such a mistake could be devastating.
Therefore, this powerful spell had no meaning in actualbat.
It was reasonable for it to be eliminated.
The other eliminated spells were all spells that were arranged in aplicated manner and could not form a simple and efficient spell trajectory.
Lin Ran was also talented in this aspect.
The spells he created were generally simple and effective.
However, Lin Ran¡¯s greatest contribution to the research of spells at this stage was undoubtedly to create a brand new spell release style, also known as the Hand Seal technique.
This technique could considerably enhance the efficiency of casting medium- and small-scale spells.
The Hand Seal technique was like an amplifier that outlined spells, using a simpler and more effective method.
Lin Ran¡¯s status in the spell research circle could be said to be the founder of a school.
From the three thresholds of creating spells to the final spell amplifier, there was a height and potential that no one had reached before.
This was also why Lin Ran became one of the most influential people in this
era.
During his days in the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base, Feng Qi had a clearer understanding of spell research.
He also saw Lin Ran¡¯s talent and potential in this aspect.
Looking at Lin Ran, who was still standing in the spell element simtion device, he had reason to believe that if Lin Ran was given the freedom to unleash his potential, his potential would increase further.
In every era, there were a few geniuses who would leave a deep mark on history.
In this era, Lin Ran was one of them.
The only regret was that Lin Ran¡¯s environment meant that his talent couldn¡¯t be fully utilized.
First, it was the Night Shadow Race¡¯s use, and then the owner of the fog¡¯s possession.
From a historical point of view, Lin Ran¡¯s life was undoubtedly tragic.
There were only two endings in his life.
1. Old Wang did not join the Scarlet Research Institute.
After the owner of the fog possessed the Old Wang, Lin Ran, who had outstanding results in spell research, would be a thorn in the side of the owner of the fog. The owner of the fog would find an opportunity to harm him and cut off his potential.
2. After Old Wang knew the truth, he joined the Scarlet Research Institute.
In this timeline, Lin Ran would be the initial target for possession by the owner of the fog. Ultimately, he would stray further from his firm ideals, bing a tool to be exploited.
Even after 1500 years of anti-parasitic sess, human civilization would have long since perished.
To Lin Ran, there was no point in living anymore.
Looking at Lin Ran, who had a serious expression and was still engrossed in his research, Feng Qi sighed.
At least Lin Ran remained optimistic in the face of any challenge.
With this sacrifice timeline, Lin Ran understood that he would eventually be possessed by the owner of the fog.
However, he did not escape. He chose to smile and face it calmly.
It didn¡¯t affect his life either. He was still busy studying spells every day.
Lin Ran¡¯s mentality reminded him of Wei Wei.
Wei Wei had once said that even if she knew the future oue, she had to live her life.
Lin Ran had the same mentality..
Chapter 489 - 489: Spell Study (3)
Chapter 489: Spell Study (3)

At this moment, Lin Ran turned off the testing device, pushed open the ss door, and walked out.
Then, he smiled at Feng Qi and said.
¡°Brother Qi, it¡¯s done. Help me take a look at the effect of the spell.¡±
Feng Qi immediately nodded.
In the following days, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were busy studying spells every day.
In his opinion, these studies were not meaningless.
When his other self read his memories, the content he was learning now would be his other self¡¯s knowledge reserve.
Perhaps it would be useful in the future.
On the owner of the fog¡¯s side.
Ever since he spoke to the owner of the fogst time, he had not contacted it for a long time.
However, he knew that the owner of the fog had started infiltrating the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The owner of the fog¡¯s n was to use its current identity as a Night Shadow Race member to stir up internal conflicts in this race. Then, it would intensify the conflicts andpletely divide the Night Shadow Race.
Now, due to the resource allocation issue of the Night Shadow Race, conflicts appeared.
It was just short of igniting a me.
At that moment, the Night Shadow Race would undoubtedly engage in open conflict. The overall strength of the Night Shadow Race would rapidly decline.
This would create an opportunity for the owner of the fog to seize power.
He had never doubted the owner of the fog¡¯s ability.
If not for the fact that he could transmigrate timelines to look for information, he would not have been a match for the owner of the fog.
Under normal circumstances, if he hadn¡¯t died young, he might have been one of the offerings of the owner of the fog.
After all, before he obtained the ability to transmigrate the timeline and the narration, his life trajectory would definitely take the path of a cultivation technique researcher.
When Flesh Sacrifice was released, he would try to cultivate and learn.
At that point, he would be a mere pawn under the owner of the fog¡¯s control.
From the perspective of history, the owner of the fog was the greatest enemy of human civilization. Its lethality was far more terrifying than ckie¡¯s.
What was terrifying about ckie was its undefeatablebat power.
Even the owner of the fog was nothing in front of ckie. It was no match for ckie at all.
However, ckie¡¯s lethality to human civilization was ultimately limited. At least from a historical point of view, the only malicious event rted to ckie was the destruction of Future City.
Whether the destruction of Future City was rted to ckie was still unknown.
Inparison, the owner of the fog had buried the entire human civilization, sounding the death knell of the end of human civilization.
In contrast, the owner of the fog had buried the entire human civilization, tolling the death knell for the end of human civilization.
The owner of the fog only cared about benefits.
For the sake of benefits, it would do anything unscrupulous.
However, he didn¡¯t deny the fact that the owner of the fog treated him as its brother.
He clearly remembered that year, in the snow in the Winterfrost, the owner of the fog had said to him with a smile.
¡°I don¡¯t have any family in this world anymore, but from now on, you¡¯re my only family.¡±
After reaching the summit, the owner of the fog was earnest about having him by its side.
Therefore, Feng Qi still felt a trace of guilt towards the owner of the fog.
He would not allow the owner of the fog to exist.
From a personal point of view, the owner of the fog was worthy of being his brother.
However, some decisions had to be made.
He had made up his mind to kill the owner of the fog. He was waiting for the day when the time was ripe.
However, in this timeline, he would persist in apanying the owner of the fog and plunge into darkness in search of light..

Star City, Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
Late at night.
The owner of the fog stood at the top of the headquarters building and looked down at the night scenery of the bustling Star City.
It had already been five months since it infiltrated the Night Shadow Race.
During this period, it had consistently sown discord among the various factions of the Night Shadow Race. The internal conflict had finally erupted.
This was especially true for the faction its new body belonged to. They could no longer tolerate the imbnced development strategy of the current patriarch¡¯s faction.
Just tonight, they decided to join forces with another faction to overthrow the dominant position of the current patriarch¡¯s faction.
Thinking of how indignant those guys were at the meeting earlier, the corners of its mouth could not help but curl up.
Emotions could be a sharp sword.
Especially the younger generation of the Night Shadow Race, their emotions were easily stirred up.
They were also the main supporters of the overthrow of the current patriarch¡¯s faction.
It was also with their help that it could divide the internal forces of the Night Shadow Race so easily.
Now that the time was ripe, whether they could overthrow the current patriarch¡¯s faction depended on tonight.
There was another important reason why it chose tonight.
It was New Year¡¯s Eve, and all the researchers had returned home. This was a rare day for everyone in the Tiger Soul Research Institute to take a break.
If it didn¡¯t make a move today, it would definitely attract the attention of the Tiger Soul Research Institute staff and researchers at other times.
Including the defense force stationed there.
What it wanted was to destroy the Night Shadow Race, not the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute.
After thinking for a long time, it took out its phone and called Feng Qi.
After waiting for a while, the call went through.
¡°Ah Qi, wait for my good news.¡±
With that, it hung up without waiting for Feng Qi¡¯s reply.
Looking at the gorgeous fireworks in the distance, it stuffed its phone back into its pocket and took a deep breath before turning to walk to the staircase.
At this moment, in the base, the Night Shadow Race nsmen, who had long been prepared, initiated their actions.
They stealthily approached the rooms of the nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction and initiated an assassination.
Although it was an assassination, themotion caused by the collective action was huge.
The assassination quickly attracted the attention of the patriarch¡¯s faction. At this moment, they counterattacked.
While the residents of Star City were immersed in the joy of the new year, there was a bloodbath in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Figures kept falling in the battle.
Several experimental instruments were damaged during the battle.
However, no one paid attention to them at this time.
The owner of the fog¡¯s brainwashing was undoubtedly sessful.
It opted to incite from the perspective of the weaker factions, fueling the anger in the hearts of many nsmen who harbored simr thoughts butcked the courage to take such a step.
Once anger was fully ignited, it needed an outlet.
The two furious and weak factions joined forces and attacked the current ruling faction of the Night Shadow Race.
At this moment, while all the weaker faction nsmen were ughtering their own kind, they were imagining the beautiful future after the owner of the fog sessfully overthrew the current ruler.
The area where the battle was the most intense was the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s base.
It was a small square, which was also where the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s database was located.
The nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction also lived in the core area.
At this moment, the owner of the fog also appeared in the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Seeing its arrival, the faces of the younger generation of the Night Shadow Race revealed a trace of fanaticism.
They had been resentful of the current situation for a long time.
However, the older generation did not dare to take a step forward.
It was the appearance of the owner of the fog that made thempletely united. They chose to fight and create the fair system they wanted.
¡°Kill!¡± At this moment, the owner of the fog shouted in a deep voice and charged forward.
The followers gathered behind it and followed it to hack at the nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction.
Green blood flowed on the floor made of special ck metal.
In the owner of the fog¡¯s perceptual vision, dazzling fireworks bloomed around it one after another, symbolizing the fading of life.
In its opinion, this was far more gorgeous and vibrant than the fireworks that were currently blooming in Star City.
The fragrance that filled its nose intoxicated it.
The ughter continued, and the battle became increasingly tragic.
The patriarch¡¯s faction was outnumbered. However, after years of resource infusion, this faction¡¯s strength had dominated the other two factions.
From being caught off guard at the beginning, he fell into a disadvantage.
They gradually counterattacked.
The owner of the fog didn¡¯t care which faction would obtain the final victory.
What it desired most was for the factions to be incapable of recovering from this battle.
This way, it could easily control the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute without any effort. Its Flesh Sacrifice promotion n would also begin.
The killing continued, and life withered in an instant.
However, in the eyes of the owner of the fog, the path to the peak was paved with death.
This difficult path would definitely be forged from countless flesh and corpses.
The dead Night Shadow Race nsmen were just stepping stones on its path to the peak.
On the other side.
After a day of experiments, Feng Qi carried his backpack and walked towards the entrance of the sub-base.
Just now, he received a call from the owner of the fog.
With this realization in mind, the owner of the fog had begun its n to seize power.
However, he had no intention of helping.
He believed that with the owner of the fog¡¯s ability, even if the final n failed, it could escape unscathed.
If he went over now, not only would he not be able to help the owner of the fog but he would be a burden instead..
Chapter 491 New Beginning (2)
491 New Beginning (2)
After all, the owner of the fog was acting as a Night Shadow Race nsman. Him showing up would only put the owner of the fog in a passive position.
With this thought on his mind, Feng Qi walked out of the base.
It was snowing heavily outside.
Looking back, the lights of the brightly lit base building were going out one by one.
This was a rare holiday for all the staff and researchers of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
On this day, they would all return to their families and reunite briefly.
He exhaled a cloud of mist and turned to look at Lin Ran, who was following behind him.
"Is it toote to go home?"
"There''s still time. There''s a Tiger Soul Research Institute''s private ne waiting for me at the airport." Lin Ran smiled and nodded before continuing.
"Brother Qi, do you want toe to my house for the new year?"
"No, I haven''t been home for a long time. I decide to go back and take a look."
Hearing Feng Qi''s rejection, Lin Ran gaped but didn''t say anything else.
At this moment, a military car drove out of the base and arrived in front of Lin Ran.
"Brother Qi, see you after the new year."
"Happy new year." Feng Qi smiled and nodded.
"Happy new year."
After Lin Ran got into the car, Feng Qi observed as the military vehicle drove him away.
Compared to Lin Ran, who had a private car and a private ne to pick him up, as an experimenter, he clearly didn''t have such treatment.
Rubbing his hands, he walked towards the east of the city.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute''s sub-base wasn''t built in the deserted suburbs. After walking for an hour, he saw the figures of passersby.
Looking at the passerby who was smiling and immersed in the New Year atmosphere, he felt a little lonely.
After waiting at the bus stop for a long time, the maglev driverless bus slowly stopped in front of him.
After getting into the bus, the sensor door closed automatically.
He sat down by the window. At this moment, the vehicle drove forward.
Looking at the red festive decorations outside the window, for some reason, he felt lonely.
However, the determination in his heart became even more firm as his emotions surged.
The maglev bus drove quickly and stopped at the east tform of Star City two hourster.
When he got out of the vehicle, the tform was empty.
Following the route in his memory, he walked step by step towards his home that he had not returned to for many years.
After walking along the street for a while, he walked into the neighborhood where his hometown was. The scene in front of him felt very unfamiliar.
He remembered that an old locust tree had once been nted in front of him, but it had now be a green garden. Even the stairs in the neighborhood had been renovated.
As he walked up the stairs, he heard the chatter andughter of his neighbors.
Everything here felt both unfamiliar and familiar to him.
Finally, he stood in front of his house that had been closed for a long time.
ording to his memory, he reached out to the crack beside the door and took out a key.
Upon opening the door, the stench of decaying wood assaulted his senses.
After entering the house and closing the door, he reached out and pressed the light switch on the wall.
The lights flickered, illuminating the house.
It had not been tended to for many years. At this moment, the house was covered in dust and spiderwebs. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the scene in front of him reminded him of when he was young.
The scratches on the left wall recorded his growth. The doll ced in the right corner of the room was his childhood favorite toy. There were cartoon drawings stuck to the wall, marking the pronunciation table when he first learned to speak.
However, the drawing had turned yellow and the words were blurry.
He turned to his left, where a stack of children''s storybooks was piled up.
He remembered many of the stories in it. When the monthly periodicals were delivered, it was his most exciting time.
This meant that he had a new story to listen to.
At this moment, his gazended on the photo frame on the cab.
Arriving at the cab, he reached for the photo frame and wiped away the dust.
It was a family photo.
This was left behind by his parents before they stepped onto the front line. At that time, he was only six years old.
In the photo, he held his parents'' hands and smiled foolishly at the camera. His parents, who were standing on both sides, had doting expressions on their faces.
Looking at the photo, memories surged in his mind.
His parents'' blurry figures became clear at this moment.
He used to not understand why his parents would abandon him and go to the front line.
But as he grew older, he understood the reason.
His father had caressed his head before he left.
"If we don''t work hard, the burden will be on your generation. Don''t think that Mom and Dad are heartless¡"
It was not only for the sake of justice but also the future of the family.
Without a country, how could there be a home? This phrase could also be described in this era.
Without human civilization, there would be no future for him.
The sacrifices of the older generation were made for the better growth of the new generation.
If not for their fight, humans might not even be able to protect the five major cities. Everyone would be scavengers.
At this moment, he deeply understood his parents'' feelings at that time.
It was both for the greater good and for their family.
After wiping the photo frame clean, he ced it back on the cab.
Looking around, he decided to clean up the ce.
An hourter, looking at thepletely clean room, a smile appeared on Feng Qi''s face.
He had not returned to this home for many years.
Looking at it made him reminisce about his past. Everything here made him feel nostalgic and heartbroken.
However, at this moment, he waspletely relieved.
He understood his parents'' choice. He didn''t disappoint his parents, nor did he disappoint himself.
He moved a chair to the balcony and sat down. He looked up at the fireworks that kept blooming outside.

Hearing the childishughter of the child next door, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The fierce battle continued.
The nsmen of the three factions of the Night Shadow Race were on a killing spree.
Such a tragic scene terrified the older members of the Night Shadow Race.
They felt that if this continued, the Night Shadow Race would definitely suffer a heavy setback. The situation hadpletely exceeded their expectations.
In their original n, they only wanted to defeat the nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction, overthrow the old system, and create a new system of fair distribution.
They did not want to exterminate the nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction.
In the end, they would still give the nsmen of the patriarch¡¯s faction a chance of survival and then manage the future of the Night Shadow Race together.
After all, they were all nsmen of the Night Shadow Race.
In the domain world where there were thousands of races, the Night Shadow Race also treated their race as a country like other races.
And they were all part of the Night Shadow Nation.
Even if the conflict had to be resolved by force, there would still be a chance to turn around in the end.
They differ from the new generation of nsmen.
After experiencing a period ofck of resources, they knew very well that if they wanted to protect everything they had, they had to ensure that the overall strength of the entire race increased.
But the new generation¡¯s thinking was clearly different.
Their radical actions turned the envisioned struggle into a brutal killing spree.
Until now, the situation was irreversible.
The nsmen of the three factions all had rtives who had died in this battle. At this moment, they could not stop.
Hatred exacerbated the conflict.
The older generation of the Night Shadow Race feltpletely helpless.
At this moment, the only option they had was to persist in making mistakes.
The situation had reached this point. Only bypletely exterminating the patriarch¡¯s lineage could the future development of the Night Shadow Race not be affected.
Looking at the figures falling one after another beside it, the owner of the fog¡¯s heart did not fluctuate at all.
It transformed into a Grim Reaper and roamed the battlefield.
There were more and more wounds on its body, but it didn¡¯t care.
This new body was just a tool it used to destroy the Night Shadow Race. Its mission was almost over.
After this battle ended, it did not matter if it was destroyed.
In the future, it would have a brand new body.
That body was the most important foundation on its path to the peak.
Relying on the influence of that body, the n that had been buried in its heart for a long time could begin.
Finally, three hourster, it looked at the messy core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding people, gray fog spewed out of its body in the blink of an eye.
A foggy face appeared at this moment, staring at the exhausted Night Shadow nsmen as if they were ants.
A new round of ughter began.
11:55 p.m.
Dragging its broken and heavy body, the owner of the fog walked up the stairs and arrived at the rooftop.
When it reached the edge of the roof, it climbed up the wall.
It stood above and looked down at the night view of Star City, feeling happy.
In the future, it would use the Tiger Soul Research Institute under its feet as a starting point and climb to the peak step by step.
At this moment, the bell rang in the sky above Star City.
Exhausted, it jumped off the wall and leaned against the edge of the wall to catch its breath before taking out its cell phone.
It opened the contact list and dialed a number on it.
After waiting for a while, the call went through.
A smile appeared on the owner of the fog¡¯s bloodstained face.
¡°Ah Qi, Happy New Year. I¡¯ve seeded..¡±

He didn¡¯t sleep the entire night.
While the residents of Star City were having fun, Feng Qi sat on the balcony for the entire night.
During this period, he received New Year¡¯s blessings from the owner of the fog, Lin Ran, and Wei Wei.
Looking at the red sun gradually rising from the horizon, he stood up and patted the snow off his body.
With the arrival of the new year, he would also begin a new ideal journey.
After entering the house, he nced at the things in the old house for thest time and walked out of the room.
He stuffed the key back into the crack in the wall and headed off without looking back.
From now on, he would follow the owner of the fog and fall into darkness. When he walked out of the neighborhood, it was still snowing heavily outside. There were not many passersby on the streets. Only the snow-sweeping robots were working overtime and pushing the snow on the road to the sides. He exhaled a cloud of mist and walked along the sidewalk to the bus stop around two miles away.
The holidays given to staff and researchers by the Tiger Soul Research Institute were not uniform.
The researchers of some important projects had to go back to work the day after the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.
Scientists on other non-essential projects could rest for a few more days.
He clearly belonged to thetter group.
However, he knew that he had to rush back as soon as possible. Last night¡¯s blessing from the owner of the fog meant that the Tiger Soul Research Institute had beenpletely taken down.
When he heard this news, he was not surprised.
Based on his understanding of the owner of the fog, it wouldn¡¯t have taken the risk to take action if it didn¡¯t have absolute confidence.
This n might have been deduced countless times in the owner of the fog¡¯s head before it started.
Even if an unexpected situation happened during the n, he believed that with the owner of the fog¡¯s strength, it could still escape unscathed.
ording to the owner of the fog¡¯s description on the phone, he also understood the situation.
That night, the civil war between the Night Shadow Race was tragic.
In the end, none of the three factions won.
Just as they were exhausted, the owner of the fog attacked.
The owner of the fog was severely injured in this battle, but fortunately, it did not injure its life source.
However, its new body had be dpidated in the battle and could not be used for long.
However, to the owner of the fog, all of this was no longer important. He had taken control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The way to control it was also simple.
He did not kill all the Night Shadow nsmen.
In his opinion, the Night Shadow Race¡¯s mental control ability was useful and could help it better control the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Therefore, after controlling the situation, he chose to enve the remaining Night Shadow nsmen.
To be safe, he forcefully cultivated Flesh Sacrifice for the remaining dozens of Night Shadow nsmen.
He used the trigger switch to kill three of them and let the other Night Shadow nsmen understand the consequences of betraying him.
It also made them understand that after cultivating Flesh Sacrifice, they only needed a thought from the owner of the fog to exhaust their Qi and die.
The three Night Shadow nsmen who were used as examples also turned into blood mist and died tragically.
The Night Shadow nsmen who had cultivated Flesh Sacrifice seemed to have been marked by the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute. Their lives were no longer in their control.
It was just like the owner of the fog¡¯s evaluation of the Night Shadow Race.
The Night Shadow Race¡¯s mindset was deemed ¡°weak.¡± Confronted with the inevitability of being unable to resist, the remaining Night Shadow nsmen lowered their heads and chose submission.
At the end of the call, the owner of the fog expressed.
Next, it would transfer him and Lin Ran back to the headquarters of the Tiger
Soul Research Institute and it would possess Lin Ran.
This was also the reason why Feng Qi wanted to rush back to the Tiger Soul
Research Institute¡¯s sub-base as soon as possible.
With this thought in mind, he arrived at the tform.
After waiting for a long time, the driverless bus slowly stopped by the tform.
When he got into the vehicle, it was still empty.
He sat down by the window and pressed the destination of his trip.
The bus drove slowly and kept increasing its speed.
A few hourster, Feng Qi returned to the main entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Just as he was about to verify his identity and enter the base, he looked up at the sky.
A helicopter with the words ¡°Tiger Soul Research Institute¡± on it was hovering above the sub-base, preparing tond on the helipad inside the base.
After verifying his identity, he walked into the base.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the helicopternding pad. He saw Lin Ran walking down from the helicopter with bags on his back.
They looked at each other from afar, and a smile appeared on Lin Ran¡¯s face. Then, Lin Ran ran towards him.
Feng Qi stopped in his tracks.
¡°Brother Qi, why are you back today? Aren¡¯t you going to rest for a few days?¡± ¡°What about you? It¡¯s rare for you to go home for a gathering. How do you feel?¡±
¡°I was praised by my rtives. Now, I¡¯ve be their bragging point,¡± Lin Ran replied with a smile. Then, he continued.
¡°Also, after not seeing my sister for a year, I suddenly realized that she has grown to the height of my chest¡¡±
Looking at the happy Lin Ran, Feng Qi suddenly didn¡¯t know what to say. He could sacrifice himself without hesitation, but sacrificing others was apletely different feeling.
It was against his wishes to request others from the moral high ground of righteousness.
Even though Lin Ran had made it clear that he was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
On careful thought, Lin Ran was different from him.
He was alone and had nothing to worry about. Only the mes of desire to pursue his ideal path burned in his chest.
But Lin Ran was different. He had family and attachments.
Everyone in each timeline was a living person, and Lin Ran was no exception..
Chapter 494 - 494: Shining on the Ideal Path (2)
Chapter 494: Shining on the Ideal Path (2)

Lin Ran¡¯s choice to sacrifice himself was undoubtedly cruel to his family.
As if noticing the change in Feng Qi¡¯s expression, the smile on Lin Ran¡¯s face disappeared. He suddenly asked.
¡°Brother Qi, is iting for me soon?¡±
Looking at Lin Ran, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Lin Ran¡¯s face again. Then, he punched his chest.
¡°You¡¯ve already sacrificed so many timelines. It¡¯s time for me to experience the feeling of not turning back for my ideals.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this outside. Let¡¯s enter the base first.¡±
Then, he walked into the base with Lin Ran.
After returning to the base, Feng Qi and Lin Ran returned to their rooms and put down their luggage.
Then, he changed into the uniform of a Tiger Soul Research Institute researcher and arrived at Lin Ran¡¯s privateboratory.
Pushing open the door, Feng Qi saw that Lin Ran was sitting on the sofa, waiting.
He sat down on the sofa and looked at Lin Ran with aplicated expression.
¡±Ah Ran, the owner of the fog has taken control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
Lin Ran wasn¡¯t surprised when he heard this. Instead, he nodded calmly.
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve guessed it. When will hee to possess me?¡±
¡°Maybe tonight¡¡±
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door of the privateboratory.
¡°Come in.¡±
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open. A man in the uniform of the Tiger Soul Research Institute walked up to Lin Ran and handed him a document. Then, he said respectfully.
¡°Team Leader Lin, this is a document from the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.¡±
Taking the document, Lin Ran immediately nodded.
¡°Thank you.¡±
After the staff left, he lowered his head and scanned the contents of the document.
Feng Qi knew what the contents of this document were about.
It was obvious that the owner of the fog had used the authority of the headquarters to transfer Lin Ran back to the headquarters with him.
After waiting for a moment, Lin Ran looked up at him.
¡°Brother Qi, the headquarters will give us a day to prepare. Tonight, you and I will be transferred back to the headquarters.¡±
Hearing this, he had mixed feelings.
¡°Don¡¯t look so glum. This day wille sooner orter. I¡¯m ready for it.¡±
¡°Have you considered your family?¡±
Hearing this, Lin Ran couldn¡¯t help but fall silent, and a conflicted look appeared in his eyes.
After a long silence, he looked up at Feng Qi and said.
¡°Brother Qi, I¡¯ve grappled with my past. I questioned why I should sacrifice myself for the future of the main timeline¡ but in the end, I managed to ovee the inner turmoil.¡±
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ran continued with red eyes.
¡°When I was in school, 1 heard the teachers talk about the stories of the martyrs. I was often so excited that my blood boiled. I also frequently imagined that if a mission came one day, I would certainly be like the martyrs and shed my blood for my ideal future.¡±
¡°Now that my childhood dream has manifested in reality, after much struggle, I understand my heart¡¯s desires and make the choices I believe are right.¡±
Looking at the determined Lin Ran, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.
Only then did he understand that Lin Ran¡¯s determination was not inferior to his.
At this moment, he stood up and patted Lin Ran¡¯s shoulder solemnly.
¡°Ah Ran, say your final goodbyes. You don¡¯t have much time left.¡±
With that, he walked out of the room without looking back, wanting to give Lin Ran some privacy.
After Feng Qi left, Lin Ran took out his cell phone.
He opened the album list.
As he flipped through the photos of his family, his eyes could not help but turn red.
He opened the contact list and scanned through the names.
But he still didn¡¯t make the call.
He realized that he could not bear to say goodbye to his family. He did not even know what to say at this moment.
At this moment, Feng Qi, who had walked out of theboratory, leaned against the wall with mixed feelings.
He could feel the sorrow in Lin Ran¡¯s heart.
He could understand Lin Ran¡¯s feelings.
Grief was not indecisive, and it had nothing to do with one¡¯s determination.
After experiencing so many timelines, he understood a principle.
In history, heroes who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good would shed tears, yet they would press on with tears in their eyes.
The road to one¡¯s ideal was covered in thorns.
If he wanted to move forward, sacrifice and pain were inevitable.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and walked straight to his room.
A momentter, he returned to his room.
He reached under the bed and pulled out the metal box sent by the Scarlet Research Institute.
Afterpleting the verification, he took out the memory-erase potion stored in the container as the ice mist rose.
He also wore the Miracle Bracelet on his wrist.
Next, he sat on the bed and began to wait.
Lin Ran only had one day left. The private ne from the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters would arrive at night.
He felt that Lin Ran needed some privacy.
To think, reminisce, and say his goodbyes¡
8 p.m.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s private ne stopped on the tarmac inside the sub-base¡¯s wall.
After Feng Qi and Lin Ran packed their luggage, they walked out of the sub-base.
After confirming the situation with the people who came to receive them, they boarded the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s private ne.
Without staying for long, the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s private ne flew into the night sky after picking them up.
The headquarters of the Tiger Soul Research Institute was situated in the southernmost suburb of Star City. While more remote than the base, its rtive area was over 10 times that of the sub-base.
30 minutester, Feng Qi and Lin Ran got off the ne.
What appeared in front of them was a small city with towering Tiger Soul Research Institute buildings standing in front of them.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters was brightly lit at night.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters was the most eye-catching. It was located in the center, and under the light, it was like a golden sword that pierced into the clouds.
At this moment, a staff member was waiting.
Seeing them get off the ne, he immediately went forward enthusiastically.
The people at the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters were no strangers to Lin Ran.
Many staff and researchers were even loyal fans of his.
Upon learning that Lin Ran had been transferred back to the headquarters, the official group chats of the various departments of the Tiger Soul Research Institute erupted with activity.
Now that he saw his idol personally, the staff seemed a little excited.
Following the staff, they arrived at the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
Along the way, Feng Qi realized that the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s security system was on apletely different level from the Scarlet Research Institute.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he could understand the reason.
There were twoyers of defense in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
If one were to attack the Tiger Soul Research Institute, they had to face Star City¡¯s defense forces first.
The second line of defense was the subordinates and garrisons in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
However, this portion of power was generally distributed at the exits of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s wall. Only a small number of individuals were in charge of internal security.
This was rted to the fact that the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute did not know about the hidden dangers inside.
They believed that the two lines of defense were sufficient to protect the Tiger Soul Research Institute. If these two lines of defense were breached, the strength of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s overall defense would be rendered ineffective.
This defensive arrangement clearly did not expect an invasion and infiltration.
Inparison to the defense at the several checkpoints inside and outside the Scarlet Research Institute, the defense of the Tiger Soul Research Institute could be considered quite weak.
They followed the staff to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and took the elevator down to the third basement floor.
They were assigned new rooms here, with Lin Ran¡¯s room located next to Feng Qi¡¯s.
After the staff left, Lin Ran closed the door.
He went to the luggage and took out the container containing the memory-erase potion.
Without hesitation, he unscrewed the cap and poured the liquid into his mouth.
He chose to drink it at this time so as not to arouse the owner of the fog¡¯s suspicion.
This proved that everything was normal before he entered the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Looking at the time, it was already nine in the evening.
He knew that the owner of the fog coulde at any time and take away his body.
Sitting by the bed, the past surged in his mind like a slideshow. Then, page by page, it was torn away.
It resembled an eraser, wiping away memories and eliminating everything in its path.
His memories led the way for the eraser. The past remained vivid in his mind, continuously surging forward.
¡°Ah Ran, you¡¯re our pride. We¡¯re proud of you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m a genius! I¡¯m gonna call this method of casting spells the¡ Hand Seal technique.¡±
¡°The tough environment is beneficial to my growth. I¡¯ve decided to apply to Winter Academy!¡±
¡°I want to fulfill Grandpa¡¯s wish. I want to develop a super cultivation technique that can change the future.¡±
As he recalled, his expression gradually became demented.
Many images became blurry.
In the end, the image of him sitting in ss when he was young, clenching his fists and swearing appeared in his mind.
¡°I, Lin Ran, will be a hero like the martyrs in the future.¡±
His initial heart was like a torch, illuminating his ideal path.
Tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes. His gaze was utterly lost, retaining only a hint of determination before the impending loss of memory..

The next day, Feng Qi and Lin Ran met again.
He realized that Lin Ran¡¯s hair and eyes had already turned purple.
Even though he had long known that Lin Ran would be possessed by the owner of the fogst night, his heart still ached when he saw Lin Ran¡¯s face.
After a short silence, he suppressed the surging emotions and weed the owner of the fog who had spread its arms apart. After they hugged, it patted his back.
All he could do now was not let Lin Ran¡¯s sacrifice be in vain.
Hence, he resolved to persevere, to keep moving forward and conceal himself alongside the owner of the fog, delving deeper into the search for valuable information.
When the two of them separated, Feng Qi smiled and said.
¡°Do you want me to dye your hair? You¡¯re too eye-catching now.¡±
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog said nonchntly.
¡°Now that I¡¯m in charge of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, does changing my hair color really matter? Nevertheless, it¡¯s probably a good idea to dye it. After all, I¡¯m a public figure now and need to interact with the outside world frequently.¡±
Towards the end, the owner of the fog¡¯s thoughts changed.
¡°Let¡¯s talk somewhere else,¡± Feng Qi said at this moment. As he spoke, he turned around and walked toward his room.
Seeing this, the owner of the fog immediately followed.
After returning to his room, he closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked at the owner of the fog, who was already sitting on the sofa.
¡°How much of Lin Ran¡¯s memories have you obtained?¡±
¡°Not much. I lost a lot of his memories. Perhaps it was because I was too anxious during the possession,¡± the owner of the fog said calmly.
It didn¡¯t care about Lin Ran¡¯s memories at all.
What it cared about was Lin Ran¡¯s influence.
However, what puzzled it was that, it could normally obtain about 70% of the memories.
It could roughly see the growth process of the body¡¯s owner.
It was akin to video editing. Many details had been skipped, yet he could still grasp the general storyline.
However, it could read less than 30% of Lin Ran¡¯s memories.
In particr, the contents of his memories for the past year werepletely nk.
It was puzzled about this, but it didn¡¯t think too much about it. It thought that it was caused by his mismanagement during the possession.
But what the owner of the fog didn¡¯t know was¡
Lin Ran¡¯s memories had been cleansed by the memory-erase potion.
The process of erasing his memories was exined in detail in the instruction manual Lin Ran had obtained.
Every milliliter of memory-erase potion could erase about 20 hours of memory.
Wei Wei sent a bottle with 500 milliliters. It could erase 10,000 hours of memory.
Which equated to almost 4.16 days of memory removal.
Therefore, after drinking the memory-erase potion, Lin Ran¡¯s memories for the past year werepletely nk.
However, the effect of the memory-erase potion was not that simple.
It was like an anesthetic injection.
When Lin Ran drank all the memory-erase potion, his memories werepletely erased.
Just like general anesthesia surgery, the anesthesia effect would eventually disappear.
The process of memory erasing was simr.
When Lin Ran drank the memory-erase potion, his memories werepletely enveloped. This was also the reason why he gradually couldn¡¯t remember anything.
This state wouldst for several hours before the memories slowly returned.
In the end, only the part of the memory marked by the medicinal effect would bepletely erased.
After the owner of the fog sessfully took control of him, it could only ess around 30% of Lin Ran¡¯s memories due to his actions during the gradual recovery of his memories.
As a result, Lin Ran¡¯s memory recovery process was interrupted halfway, and only 30% of his memories were left behind.
Otherwise, even with the owner of the fog obtaining iplete memories, aside from the impact of over a year of medicinal effects, the other memories wouldn¡¯t be significantly affected.
Lin Ran, who had read the instructions, knew that the recovery process of the memory-erase potion couldn¡¯t be interrupted by external forces.
But to Lin Ran at that time, it didn¡¯t matter how much of his memories had been erased.
Looking at the owner of the fog who was still puzzled about his memory, Feng Qi said.
¡°What¡¯s next?¡±
Facing the question, the owner of the fog smiled.
¡°I¡¯ll begin by solidifying my control over the Tiger Soul Research Institute. While I¡¯ve gainedplete control over the remaining Night Shadow nsmen, I still need to exert influence over thebat teams within the institute. Next, I¡¯ll have the Night Shadow nsmen utilize mental control to continue manipting themanders of the variousbat teams under the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¡±
Feng Qi nodded continuously as he listened to the owner of the fog recount the following ns.
At this moment, the owner of the fog¡¯s tone changed.
¡°By the way, I¡¯ve also thought of a way for you to be stronger. The path to the peak will be more difficult. I hope you can protect yourself, so the n to increase your strength needs to be carried out as soon as possible.¡±
¡°Tell me in detail.¡± Feng Qi could not help but ask curiously.
¡°With the Miracle Bracelet, you¡¯ve acquired a shortcut to enhance your strength. I believe you can establish your own presence in human civilization, erect your statue, and gather the power of faith from your followers. Utilizing the faith of all mankind, you can rapidly elevate your strength.¡±
¡°The specific implementation method is not difficult. I¡¯ll proceed to promote Flesh Sacrifice in your name. This will elevate your status significantly in human society¡ When the time is right, I¡¯ll leverage public opinion to assist you in constructing a statue for the world to worship.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
He had contemted various methods to gather faith, but the promotional approach suggested by the owner of the fog hadn¡¯t crossed his mind..
Chapter 496 - 496: Future Plan (2)
Chapter 496: Future n (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
However, he felt that this method was inappropriate.
In history, there were many people who were worshipped as gods after death. The most famous one was Guan Yu, who was worshipped as the God of Wealth.
However, they did not receive such treatment when they were alive.
As if reading his mind, the owner of the fog said.
¡°People in this era admire heroes the most. It only requires a process to elevate them as heroes and gradually deify them.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget that your persona has been established a long time ago. You were once known as the rising star of cultivation when you were in Star City Academy. It¡¯spletely reasonable for you tounch Flesh Sacrifice with the excuse of focusing on research.¡±
¡°What youck now is an opportunity. While it¡¯s true that no one could be worshipped as a god when alive in the past, it doesn¡¯t mean it won¡¯t happen in the future¡ When the timees, I¡¯ll use Lin Ran¡¯s influence to assist you. By consistently broadcasting highly positive evaluations of Flesh Sacrifice to the public, its promotion will happen swiftly¡¡±
In the end, Feng Qi finally understood the owner of the fog¡¯s n.
This n could be called the ¡°God Creation n.¡±
Flesh Sacrifice had two uses this time.
The use of the dark timeline is simr to the previous timeline.
It was mainly to sow seeds for human civilization and the weaker domain races, making them potential ¡°sacrifices¡±. The owner of the fog would activate the switch in the future toplete the harvest.
However, Flesh Sacrifice had another use in this timeline.
It could bewitch all of humanity.
It used this strategy to establish a ¡°God setting¡± for itself, and then harnessed the faith of all humans to rapidly enhance its strength.
From the spiritual level to the physical level, it was evident that the owner of the fog intended to seize everything this time.
It treated all of humanity like pawns.
It could also be called a stepping stone on the path of growth.
Feng Qi couldn¡¯t reject the n mentioned by the owner of the fog, nor did he have any reason to reject it.
Thinking of this, he looked at the owner of the fog and said.
¡°I roughly understand your thoughts. You can start trying when you decide to promote Flesh Sacrifice.¡±
The owner of the fog nodded and looked at him curiously.
¡°You¡¯ve been in human society for so many years. Can you exin why humans believe in gods?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve always been puzzled. Why would humans believe in the so-called gods? Even if they do exist, they¡¯ve never given positive feedback. What¡¯s the meaning of faith?¡±
Faced with this question, Feng Qi could not help but fall silent.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the owner of the fog and said.
¡°Does your race worship a god?¡±
¡°No, we only believe in power to change fate.¡±
He wasn¡¯t surprised by the owner of the fog¡¯s answer. Then, he continued to ask.
¡°Do you believe in fate?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe in it. In my view, fate is an excuse for the weak. Only losers attribute their failures to fate. The irony is that these weak individuals, who believe in fate, still consider the sess of the strong as fate.¡±
Feng Qi agreed with the owner of the fog¡¯s words.
However, he did notpletely agree.
After experiencing so many timelines, he understood that fate really existed.
A history that was destined to unfold would manifest.
And he was a unique existence.
He was like a butterfly that shuttled through the long river of history. He pped his wings and kept changing everyone¡¯s fate.
Hence, he had faith in fate, yet he also harbored disbelief in it.
He believed that fate existed, but he did not believe that it was predestined and could not be changed.
His hard work in multiple timelines was to change his fate.
¡°Do you think humans¡¯ belief in gods is connected to fate?¡± the owner of the fog asked curiously.
¡°Yes, those believers all believe in fate. They all believe that the gods can change their fate and guide them toward a better path. Many of them even believe in the judgment of fate after death.¡±
¡°How foolish.¡±
¡°I hold a high opinion of the human race. They possess the mindset of the strong. Their only shoring is that they have been exposed to Spiritual Qi for a rtively brief period. Nevertheless, it¡¯s undeniable that if this race can progress steadily, they will have immense growth potential. However, in my view, many of their actions should have been eradicated long ago.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but guess.
¡°You believe faith is useless because it can¡¯t bring practical meaning to humans. However, in reality, even though these believers may not receive tangible feedback from the gods, they derive strength from the depths of their hearts.¡±
¡°Especially when a person is in a desperate situation, faith can sometimes enable them to unleash unimaginable potential.¡±
¡°In addition, faith brings many positive meanings.¡±
Looking at the puzzled owner of the fog, he pondered for a moment and said.
¡°Let me share a case with you. There was a significant incident at the seaside of the Former Days City in the past. A group of fishermen, driven by greed, concealed all the supplies transported by a specificbat team at the bottom of the sea. During that period, thebat team responsible for escorting them was at the brink of mission failure and even faced the prospect ofpensation.¡±
¡°In the face of this group of fishermen¡¯s denial, they can¡¯t do anything. After all, the first rule of thebat team is not to attack civilians, and the fishermen don¡¯t admit that they hid supplies at all.¡±
¡°In the end, the leader of thebat team who was in charge of escorting the supplies brought this group of fishermen to the Dragon King¡¯s temple by the sea and made them swear to the Dragon King¡¯s statue that they did not hide the supplies.¡±
¡°The fishermen, who originally refused to admit it, finally hesitated in the face of the god they believed in. In the end, they chose to confess what they had done. This is a manifestation of faith. It has a positive effect on the stability of the race.¡±
After hearing Feng Qi¡¯s exnation, the owner of the fog fell into deep thought.
Seeing the confusion on the owner of the fog¡¯s face, Feng Qi shook his head.
He knew the owner of the fog needed time to digest and understand his exnation.
The owner of the fog had changed many human bodies along the way and read many human memories.
However, the reading was like watching a movie.
There was no sense of substitution.
The owner of the fog could understand many human habits through reading memories, but it could not understand the essence.
Such as, faith.
The owner of the fog resided in a realm where the strong dominated the weak. It held the belief that might justified reason, and it didn¡¯t seek the protection of mythical gods for its race.
Humans lived in an era of peace and sought spiritual transcendence.
However, after the invasion of the domain, humans¡¯ faith in God diminished.
In the harsh environment, more humans shifted to believe in human heroes. Transitioning from ethereal worship of a god, they started to pursue tangible presence, as described by the owner of the fog.
The reason was simply that the environment was different, leading to a different perspective on problem-solving.
After further discussion, the topic of constructing a statue was temporarily set aside.
At this moment, Feng Qi looked at the owner of the fog and asked.
¡°When do you n to start promoting Flesh Sacrifice?¡±
¡°This can¡¯t be rushed. I need toy some groundwork for you first. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll move you to the cultivation technique research team. After that, I¡¯ll enlist the cooperation of the cultivation technique researchers controlled by the Night Shadow Race to assist you in your research. Simultaneously, I¡¯ll disseminate pertinent information to the public to generate anticipation¡ In essence, I¡¯ll release a news article stating that you are gearing up for a significant undertaking.¡±
¡°Subsequently, we¡¯ll provide real-time updates on the news, sparking curiosity in the outside world about your research. Throughout this period, I¡¯ll assist in promoting it under Lin Ran¡¯s name. Once the anticipation phase isplete, we can capitalize on the momentum to introduce Flesh Sacrifice. During that period, we can expect a considerable number of cultivators to join the trend.¡±
At this point, the owner of the fog paused and continued.
¡°As for the impact of Flesh Sacrifice, there¡¯s no cultivation technique in human cultivation that can rival it. In the words of Xiao Liu from the steelworks factory, no one stands a chance against it.¡±
Looking at the owner of the fog who was brimming with confidence, Feng Qi nodded and continued to ask.
¡°By the way, what are your ns for the Science and Technology Research Institute?¡±
Faced with the question, the owner of the fog immediately said.
¡°I¡¯ve considered this issue. The Science and Technology Research Institute may not be directly affiliated with us, but it will undoubtedly be one of ourpetitors in the future. We must swiftly uncover the nature of their ck Death Project.¡±
¡°So, what are you going to do?¡±
¡°I n to nurture a few spies with research potential. Then, I¡¯ll think of a way to infiltrate the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute to understand the secrets.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi realized that the timeline was back on track.
ording to the normal timeline, among the spies nurtured by the owner of the fog, one of them would sessfully enter the core circle of technology.
Most importantly, that individual had infiltrated the first echelon of the core circle.
He had evene into contact with the core secret.
If not for the fact that he wanted to divert the firepower of the Science and Technology Research Institute, that spy might not have revealed his identity even until his death..

Three monthster.
Tiger Soul Research Institute, Feng Qi¡¯s independent office.
Sitting at his desk, Feng Qi was flipping through thetest information about the outside world on his tablet.
He opened the information software and arge amount of information rted to him appeared.
[The star of tomorrow shines again. After so many years, he has sessfully developed a super cultivation technique that can change human history-Flesh Sacrifice.]
[Flesh Sacrifice is currently in the testing stage and has received unanimous praise from the various cultivation institutes. After Feng Qi returned, he used his abilities to prove himself.]
[Lin Ranmented on Flesh Sacrifice and asserted that this cultivation technique will mark a new milestone in human cultivation.]
[Feng Qi, who had maintained silence and dedicated himself to research for many years, has finally emerged. He utilized Flesh Sacrifice to demonstrate to the world that he was always the most brilliant star in the current era¡¯s cultivation domain.]
Flipping through the relevant reports, Feng Qi¡¯s heart did not waver.
A few days ago, the Flesh Sacrifice test version was officially submitted to the various cultivation institutes for their initial evaluation.
The various research institutes that had obtained the first version of Flesh Sacrifice couldn¡¯t find a problem with it.
There was only one result from the test.
This was a groundbreaking super cultivation technique.
They thought that with the help of Flesh Sacrifice, human cultivation would definitely usher in a new era.
At the same time, the owner of the fog controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute to contact many cultivation technique magazines and media behind the scenes andunched an overwhelming publicity campaign.
In the name of ¡°Lin Ran,¡± it kept sending high praises for Flesh Sacrifice to the outside world.
With encouragement from the owner of the fog, Flesh Sacrifice, though not officially released, had already stirred a significantmotion in the outside world.
There were many cultivators who were looking forward to the official release of Flesh Sacrifice.
Correspondingly, Feng Qi, who was nominally the creator of Flesh Sacrifice, became the center of heated discussion in the outside world.
All kinds of good reviews flooded in.
The outside world had a very high evaluation of him now.
They believed that his years of silence were not due to a depletion of his talents but because he was developing the super cultivation technique, Flesh Sacrifice. Under the influence of public opinion, a substantial number of voices from the outside world voluntarily spoke up in his defense.
He opened thements section and scrolled down.
I had a feeling about this. Given Feng Qi¡¯s past achievements, how could he suddenly go silent? It appears that Feng Qi has been saving up for a major move. It¡¯s truly an honor to be in the same era as him.¡±
¡°Back then, when he first entered the Star City Academy, I often heard the seniors talk about the once influential figure, Feng Qi. Now, I finally understand why they admire him so much. I didn¡¯t expect him to promote the development of modern cultivation alone.¡±
¡°I feel remorseful. When we were debating whether Feng Qi had exhausted his talent back then, I also took part. Now, it¡¯s clear that I was short-sighted. He truly deserves to be hailed as the rising star of humanity.¡±
This was the power of public opinion.
Those who controlled public opinion could easily spread the content they wanted and guide the people to believe it.
It would also make them think that what they saw was right.
This was also the reason why the Scarlet Research Institute, which had always kept a low profile, found it difficult to resist the attacks of public opinion of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, this time, the owner of the fog was manipting public opinion to create a persona for him.
It was preparing to build a God Statue in the future.
This step was simr to the process of the owner of the fog possessing Lin Ran in the previous timeline and then creating momentum for him.
The only difference was that this time, it was even more thorough.
Under the influence of the Miracle Bracelet, the owner of the fog was no longer satisfied with creating a historical figure or hero.
It wanted to create a living god for humanity.
It continuously obtained the power of faith from the spiritual level to help it increase its strength.
The first step of the n had begun.
After Flesh Sacrifice officially passed the joint evaluation of the various cultivation institutes, it could be officially promoted to the outside world.
At that moment, the external assessment of Flesh Sacrifice would contribute to establishing a ¡°God setting¡±.
He had no doubt that the owner of the fog¡¯s n was feasible.
At the very least, the public opinion had proven that the public¡¯s evaluation of him had gradually begun to ¡°deify¡±.
Putting down the tablet, he cast his gaze at the owner of the fog not far away.
At this moment, the owner of the fog had its eyes closed. Its body was suspended above the sofa, and its body was enveloped by the surging fog.
On the coffee table in front of it were eight extremely high-purity S-grade spiritual stones.
At this moment, Spiritual Qi kept flowing out and entering the owner of the fog¡¯s body.
The production of this type of spiritual stones was extremely low. They were generally produced in domain fields with higher cmity ratings and were worth a lot.
Moreover, such high-purity spiritual stones were only supplied to the various research institutes and the military. Privatepanies had no way of buying and researching them.
However, after the owner of the fog took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, these resources became supplements for it to increase its strength.
Compared to the time when it controlled the Death Star Number Three Combat Team in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area, the benefits that the Tiger Soul Research Institute brought to the owner of the fog were even greater.
The monthly allocation of research resources was something that the Death
Star Number Three Combat team had never been able topare to.
During this period, the owner of the fog had subtly changed the structure of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The way it controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute was entirely different from the Night Shadow Race.
While the Night Shadow Race controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute, most of the spiritual resources they obtained every month would be delegated to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters and various sub-base research projects.
It was especially so for the research of spells. It was a project that the Night Shadow Race focused on developing..
Chapter 498 - 498: Terrifying Presence (2)
Chapter 498 - 498: Terrifying Presence (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
in the owner of the fog¡¯s opinion, the Night Shadow Race¡¯s decision was a
smart one.
This was because the Night Shadow Race did not have any talents in research and development.
Even if they could use resources to quickly increase the strength of their race, it was still easy to encounter a growth bottleneck.
It was especially so with theck of spells.
The Night Shadow Race had only mastered a few mental power bewitchment spells, so their actualbat ability was rtively weak.
If they did not make up for their shorings in this aspect, it would be difficult for the development of the race to reach a higher level.
However, if they employed the most elite geniuses of the human race toy the groundwork for their race after gaining control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the effects in the initial stages might not be conspicuous. Yet, with the development of a series of spells tailored to their race, the strength of the Night Shadow Race would gradually ascend.
The owner of the fog agreed with the Night Shadow Race¡¯s investment.
in the words of the owner of the fog, the Night Shadow Race was weak, so they needed to use this method to promote their development.
But the owner of the fog was different.
Its race had many spells and cultivation methods that far exceeded human cultivation. It was better for them to use the resources of the Tiger Soul Research Institute themselves than invest them in various projects.
This was what the owner of the fog thought was the most efficient way to
grow.
During this period, the owner of the fog had begun to reduce the funding for various research projects.
All the resources that were deducted were sent to the owner of the fog.
Now, the owner of the fog would take 15% of the resources allocated every month for cultivation.
The owner of the fog¡¯s next goal was to gradually increase this percentage to about 70%.
It wasn¡¯t an act of mercy to refrain from taking everything.
Instead, the owner of the fog knew very well that if it wanted to use the authority and influence of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to create an advantage for itself, it had to ensure that the Tiger Soul Research Institute could continue operating normally.
Like a parasite, if it were to continuously absorb nutrients from the host, it could not let the host diepletely.
It was the same for the Tiger Soul Research Institute under the owner of the fog-
Even if the research progress would decrease drastically in the future, it had to at least introduce something to the outside world to prove that the Tiger Soul Research Institute was still operating steadily.
If there were no results for a long time, the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s influence and monthly resource allocation would decrease ordingly.
In the owner of the fog¡¯s opinion, this was not worth it.
After the owner of the fog took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the series of reforms allowed Feng Qi to once again see the owner of the fog¡¯s understanding of human society.
At this moment, the owner of the fog, who was floating on the sofa, opened its eyes.
The top-quality spiritual stones on the coffee table turned transparent. The pure spiritual liquid inside changed into blood and energy, flowing into the owner of the fog¡¯s body.
It heaved a long sigh of relief and turned its gaze to Feng Qi, who was sitting in front of the desk.
¡°How does it feel to be praised by the outside world?¡±
Looking at the smiling owner of the fog, Feng Qi said nonchntly.
¡°It feels alright. Are you done with your cultivation?¡±
¡°This round of cultivation is over. Get Night-2 to send some more resources
over in the afternoon.¡±
The Night-2 mentioned by the owner of the fog was one of the remaining 23 nsmen of the Night Shadow Race.
The owner of the fog couldn¡¯t be bothered to remember their names. Therefore, adopting the word ¡®Night¡¯ as his surname, it utilized the numbers 1-23 to assign new names to the remaining nsmen of the Night Shadow
Race.
After sitting down in front of the desk, the owner of the fog looked at him and said.
¡°Now that our control over the Tiger Soul Research Institute has stabilized, it¡¯s time to contemte how to infiltrate the Science and Technology Research Institute. I need to uncover the secrets of the ck Death Project as soon as possible. It could have a significant impact on our future development.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
¡°What do you n to do next? We can¡¯t select spies in our Tiger Soul Research Institute. After all, the youngest people who came here are all graduates. We can¡¯t let them study technology again, right?¡±
¡°Indeed, we can¡¯t recruit spies within our Tiger Soul Research Institute. If there¡¯s an issue with the spies, it could easily be traced back to us. We are currently not a match for the forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute. The risk is too great,¡± the owner of the fog said, shaking its head decisively.¡±
¡°So, where do you intend to find suitable individuals to infiltrate the Science and Technology Research Institute?¡±
¡°It¡¯s too troublesome to search for them. I¡¯ve decided to leverage the Night Shadow Race¡¯s ability to control some talented individuals for infiltration into the Science and Technology Research Institute. There¡¯s an additional advantage to this approach. Even if an issue arises, as long as we sever our mental connection, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute won¡¯t be able to trace us, no matter how thorough their investigation.¡±
Hearing this answer, Feng Qi was enlightened.
He suddenly understood that the spies sent by the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been investigated by the ck shadow faction of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, regardless of the methods employed, they were unable to extract pertinent information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute from the spies. This was clearly rted to mental control.
From the looks of it, it was a wise choice for the owner of the fog not to eliminate the Night Shadow Race who possessed the mental control ability.
Their race had limitedbat strength, but the mental control ability endowed by their bloodline could yield unexpected advantages at specific moments.
He was also looking forward to infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute.
At the very least, after the infiltration was sessful, the spy would be able to bring back important information that he had not been able to find on the sacrifice timeline.
After some discussion, the owner of the fog suddenly said.
¡°In addition to infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute, I¡¯ve been thinking about a new n recently. If this n seeds, it will also greatly increase our growth speed..¡±

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
¡°What n?¡±
¡°The n against the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
When he heard that the owner of the fog was targeting the Scarlet Research Institute, his heart skipped a beat.
¡°Why are you focusing on the Scarlet Research Institute? We don¡¯t have any conflicts of interest with them. Furthermore, even the authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute can¡¯t uncover information about the Scarlet Research Institute, let alone their true strength.¡±
¡°We haven¡¯t fully secured our position in the Tiger Soul Research Institute yet. Launching a hasty attack on the Scarlet Research Institute now could lead to a catastrophe.¡±
At this moment, the owner of the fog smiled and nodded.
¡°Your analysis is correct. My thoughts are the same as yours. I think it¡¯s too risky to attack the Scarlet Research Institute rashly¡ However, you¡¯re wrong about one thing. We do have a conflict of interest with the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
¡°What conflict of interest?¡± He couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°After the spiritual resources sent by the frontlines reach the Star City airport, they will be distributed. Star City¡¯s research institute doesn¡¯t receive a significant allocation of resources. The majority goes to the military, the Scarlet Research Institute, and our Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
¡°If we want to obtain more resources, we have to take down the other two factions.¡±
¡°We can¡¯t interfere with the military. After all, the military holds a special status and has close ties with the Alliance Military. Furthermore, the resources required by the Alliance Military have less conflict with us.¡±
¡°Inparison, the Scarlet Research Institute is our greatestpetitor.¡±
¡°If we can take down the Scarlet Research Institute, the amount of resources we obtain every time we distribute resources will increase greatly.¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi immediately understood what the owner of the fog was thinking.
However, the Scarlet Research Institute was the key to this sacrifice timeline. How could he let the owner of the fog attack the Scarlet Research Institute?
Furthermore, there were no records of the Tiger Soul Research Institute attacking the Scarlet Research Institute in the previous timeline.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately said.
¡°I understand your thoughts, but it¡¯s too risky to attack the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
The owner of the fog smiled and nodded.
¡°This is what I¡¯m going to exin to you next. I¡¯ve never considered attacking the Scarlet Research Institute personally. I can rely on external forces to resist the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
¡°Tell me about it.¡±
¡°The n is straightforward. I aim to create circumstances that prompt the Science and Technology Research Institute to attack the Scarlet Research Institute. I believe that once the Science and Technology Research Institute, along with the ck shadow faction backing it, takes action, they will certainly have the capability to dismantle the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
In the previous timeline, the Scarlet Research Institute had preemptively concealed themselves in a secret base due to the pressure exerted by the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Now that he heard the owner of the fog¡¯s thoughts, he could not help but suspect that this matter was rted to the owner of the fog.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately asked.
¡°Do you have a detailed n now?¡±
¡°I have a n, but it¡¯s not perfect yet.¡±
¡°The first step of the n is to create a conflict between the Science and Technology Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
¡°The focus of this phase of the n is the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team affiliated with the Science and Technology Research Institute. I recently utilized my authority to review the frontline mission list and discovered that the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team is scheduled to go to Former Days City in 40 days for a construction mission. I¡¯ve decided to seize this opportunity to ambush them.¡±
¡°Of course, I won¡¯t kill the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team. I¡¯ll only kill the higher-ups of thisbat team and let most of the soldiers go back to report to the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.¡±
Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team?
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s words, he suddenly thought of a major incident that happened when he infiltrated the Science and Technology Research Institute.
At that time, the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team had died inexplicably, causing no one to take over thisbat team.
At that time, in order to obtain higher authority in the Science and Technology Research Institute, he chose to undergo biochemical modifications and was finally promoted to the new leader of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.
He would join the second tier of the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
From the looks of it, the sudden death of the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team was clearly rted to the owner of the fog.
However, he was puzzled about what the owner of the fog had done after killing the higher-ups of thebat team.
It gave the Science and Technology Research Institute the idea of targeting the Scarlet Research Institute.
Thinking of this, he looked at the owner of the fog and asked.
¡°How are you going to transfer the conflict to the Scarlet Research Institute after killing the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team?¡± Facing the question, the owner of the fog smiled.
¡°The mission of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team is connected to the outer city of Former Days City, Twilight City. There¡¯s a sub-base of the Scarlet Research Institute in Twilight City.¡±
¡°I still don¡¯t get it.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget, Wang Yi, who I once possessed, is a member of the first tier of the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute. I have mastered the way the Science and Technology Research Institute sends information to the inside.¡±
¡°This time, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team¡¯s mission wille into contact with the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in Twilight City. I will find an opportunity to take action at that time.¡±
¡°After killing all the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, I will simte the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team and send relevant information to the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what the information is. What I want is to make them suspect that the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in Twilight City has a research project targeting them.¡±
¡°The Scarlet Research Institute knows that the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute suspects that they have infiltrated human society.¡±
¡°If this n seeds, it can sow the seed of suspicion in the hearts of the ck shadow faction. As long as they aim to persist with the ck Death Project, they will seek ways to suppress the Scarlet Research Institute, treating it as a thorn in their side.¡±
¡°After all, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute is also relying on the strength of humans to grow. They don¡¯t want to bepletely exposed to the world. How can they be at ease if the Scarlet Research Institute doesn¡¯t copse?¡±
¡°In order to deepen this conflict, I will carry out a series of actions in the future.¡±
¡°In short, the core of this n is to use the power of the Science and Technology Research Institute to help us destroy the Scarlet Research Institute to achieve our goal.¡±
¡°As long as the Scarlet Research Institute copses, our Tiger Soul Research Institute will undoubtedly be the number one organization in Star City. Most of the resources that were originally allocated to the Scarlet Research Institute will also be allocated to us¡¡±
Listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s description, Feng Qi felt a chill in his heart.
A clear timeline formed in his mind.
Many questions were finally answered.
The higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team had died inexplicably.
The Science and Technology Research Institute suddenly sent forces to attack the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in Twilight City.
Subsequently, the Science and Technology Research Institute initiated a sequence of public opinion battles and sabotage operations against the Scarlet Research Institute.
This series of questions that once puzzled him finally came to light.
He looked at the owner of the fog who was still analyzing and perfecting the n.
Feng Qi only had one thought.
Such a terrifying presence could not be left alive..

40 dayster.
11 p.m.
In the Tiger Soul Research Institute, a private ne flying to Twilight City set
off.
At this time, Feng Qi was not asleep yet.
This was because the first step of the owner of the fog¡¯s n to destroy the
Scarlet Research Institute had officially begun.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the room. He took out his cell phone and called the Scarlet Research Institute.
After waiting for a long time, the call went through.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet? Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ll go bald from staying upte?¡±
¡°Fog just left. I want to update you.¡±
¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll record it.¡±
The sound of clothes being put on came from the other end of the phone, followed right on the heels of hurried footsteps.
About five minutester, Wei Wei¡¯s voice sounded again.
¡°You can tell me now.¡±
Feng Qi did not hesitate and immediately said.
¡°It¡¯s like this. Do you remember the information I gave you that Twilight City will be attacked by the Science and Technology Research Institute? Actually, the owner of the fog is behind this matter. It¡¯s like this¡¡±
After spending half an hour, he told her everything about the owner of the fog¡¯s n.
He did not do this to find a way to deal with the owner of the fog in advance.
He chose to stand on the owner of the fog¡¯s side in this timeline, so he wouldn¡¯t consider any methods to target the owner of the fog.
The main reason was to remind the Scarlet Research Institute in advance.
So that when they faced the suppression of the Science and Technology Research Institute in the future, they could make preparations to minimize their losses.
Especially the casualties in Twilight City.
After hearing his story, Wei Wei¡¯s tone was solemn.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect the owner of the fog to be the real mastermind. I¡¯ll hold a meetingter and discuss how to deal with this matter¡ But don¡¯t worry, our defense strategy won¡¯t affect you. It¡¯s mainly to reduce our losses. After all, you¡¯re the core.¡±
¡°Okay, have an early rest, Sister Wei.¡±
¡°You too, Little Brother.¡±
After hanging up, Feng Qi leaned against the sofa and fell into deep thought.
The owner of the fog had set off for Twilight City. The first step of the n to destroy the Scarlet Research Institute had officially begun.
The owner of the fog¡¯s n had been clear and perfect these few days.
It nned to use the tragic death of the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team to arouse the vignce of the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Apart from that, it would also simte the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team sending misleading news to the ck shadow faction.
If this n seeded, the Scarlet Research Institute would definitely be a thorn in the side of the forces behind the Science and Technology Research
Institute.
This was the main reason why the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in Twilight City was attacked in many timelines.
ording to the normal historical timeline, the Scarlet Research Institute was not defeated by the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, the owner of the fog¡¯s n was very sessful.
The main goal of the owner of the fog inunching the operation to destroy the Scarlet Research Institute was to snatch the spiritual resources that were originally allocated to them.
While the Scarlet Research Institute wasn¡¯t vanquished, due to the intense suppression by the Science and Technology Research Institute, they opted to retreat to an underground secret base and had limited contact with the outside world.
The spiritual resources originally allocated to the Scarlet Research Institute would be redistributed in Star City.
Among them, the one with the greatest benefits was undoubtedly the Tiger
Soul Research Institute, another giant research institute in Star City.
Therefore, ording to normal historical timeline, the owner of the fog¡¯s n had undoubtedly seeded.
Feng Qi was worried about this n.
He thought that his appearance had led to a deviation in history.
It made the owner of the fog think of targeting the Scarlet Research Institute. From the looks of it, this was clearly a plot that would happen in the normal historical timeline.
However, he did not find any relevant information back then.
After listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation andparing it to the normal historical timeline, he realized that it was just a false rm.
As long as Scarlet Research Institute did not copse, his timeline would not be considered a failure.
In his opinion, it was good for the Scarlet Research Institute to hide in the secret underground base in advance.
Although the development of subsequent research projects would be limited by theck of resources, at least safety would be guaranteed.
He had no reason to stop the owner of the fog from carrying out this n against the Scarlet Research Institute.
Leaning on the sofa, he began to think about the press conference tomorrow. During this period, the owner of the fog used public opinion to create momentum for him.
The outside world was filled withments about him and anticipation for Flesh Sacrifice.
Tomorrow was the day the results of the Flesh Sacrifice test were officially released.
At that time, he would have to ept interviews from the reporters sent by the major cities.
This was undoubtedly an important segment to help the owner of the fog promote Flesh Sacrifice.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt danger approaching.
The Demon Dragon¡¯s modified crisis perception made his hair stand on end. He immediately turned to look to his right.
A peculiar scythe materialized out of thin air and descended, aiming for his head. Following closely behind, a recognizable figure with blue skin manifested.
Realizing that the blue-skinned assassin had appeared again, he quickly dodged to the side.
Boom!
A ck stream of light shed, and the sofa he was leaning on was split into two. The scythe also left a deep mark on the wall.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who was about 1.5 meters tall and holding arge scythe, Feng Qi cursed inwardly.
During this period, the frequency of the blue-skinned assassins attempting to assassinate him steadily rose.
Fortunately, he had the owner of the fog by his side.
Any blue-skinned assassin would be swiftly dispatched by the owner of the fog-

Chapter 501 - 501: The Mystery of the Blue Skin (2)

Now that the owner of the fog had left, he had to deal with this blue-skinned assassin himself.
He clenched his fists at the thought, immediately, the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal was activated and endless power was injected into his body.
The surface of his fist was covered by the ck energy derived from the rune crystal.
He took a step forward and punched the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s skull.
The blue-skinned assassin was vignt. He retreated and aimed the scythe at Feng Qi¡¯s head.
Confronted with the blue-skinned assassin, who surpassed him in speed, Feng Qi had no choice but to restrain his strength and evade. He positioned his fist in front of him.
Sparks flew when the scythe came into contact with his fist.
He was sent flying by the blow and mmed into the wall.
Nevertheless, such injuries couldn¡¯t inflict anysting damage on him. The robust physique of the Demon Dragon could swiftly mend the internal injuries resulting from the collision in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he got up and jumped, dodging another sh that approached.
After dodging the attack, he stood up.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin slowly turning around, Feng Qi cursed inwardly.
If he possessed the abilities from the main timeline, the blue-skinned assassin in front of him wouldn¡¯t be of any concern to him at all. With a single nce, he could easily beat it up.
Especially after activating the Blood Source form, not even a hundred shes from the blue-skinned assassin would harm him.
However, he did not have suchbat strength now.
Looking at the approaching blue-skinned assassin, Feng Qi let out a ferocious roar. Then, he took a step forward and swung his fist.
Seeing this, the blue-skinned assassin immediately slowed down and became vignt.
Taking advantage of this chance, Feng Qi decisively turned around and pounced towards the door.
Using all his strength, he smashed open the special metal door and ran to the core area.
¡°Help!¡±
The room had excellent soundproofing, preventing the sounds of the internal struggle from being heard by the outside world.
At this moment, Feng Qi abruptly burst out. The researchers standing in the core area promptly grasped that something unexpected had urred.
Hence, they decisively pressed the ¡°Help¡± button.
The security guards outside the core area received the message immediately. They decisively opened the special metal door of the core area and ran inside.
Then, they saw the blue-skinned assassin chasing after Feng Qi. Without hesitation, they attacked the blue-skinned assassin.
Looking at the blue-skinned assassin who was surrounded by security guards, Feng Qi was calm.
These security guards and the researchers who were conducting research were controlled by the Night Shadow Race manipted by the owner of the fog. Therefore, he was not worried that something would go wrong.
Even if they were not controlled, it would not be a problem for them to witness the blue-skinned assassin.
However, just as they were about to attack, an unexpected scene happened. The blue-skinned assassin, who was surrounded, suddenly began to blur, and the surrounding space distorted.
Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the blue-skinned assassin suddenly vanished.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi was anxious.
This was the first time he had encountered a blue-skinned assassin who had mastered the spatial jump ability.
Thinking of this, he quickly went to the control panel in the center of the core area.
¡°Check the surveince cameras,¡± he said in a low voice as he looked at the staff sitting in front of the control panel.
Upon hearing his order, the staff member did not hesitate and decisively pulled up the recent surveince cameras.
Just as he had expected.
This blue-skinned assassin did not exist in the surveince cameras.
This made him fall into deep thought.
Although they hade into contact many times, he had yet to find any information about the blue-skinned assassin.
After taking control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the owner of the fog had alsounched an investigation in this area.
It only found many records of the appearance of the blue-skinned assassin, but it had no clue about the secret behind it.
After experiencing so many timelines, Feng Qi only knew a little about the rules of the blue-skinned assassin.
1. The blue-skinned assassin was not an elemental life form. It had a body of flesh and blood, but there were no organs in its body. Upon death, it would turn into energy and dissipate.
2. The blue-skinned assassin seemed to be constantly receiving signals from the outside world. It might be a special life form controlled by an external force.
3. The blue-skinned assassin was not a robot. It possessed emotions, experiencing pain and surprise, but it harbored no fear of death.
4. The timing of the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s appearance was different in every timeline.
5. The number of blue-skinned assassins was uncertain. As time passed, their strength showed a steady increase.
Based on these factors, the blue-skinned assassin resembled a game monster. As the protagonist¡¯s strength or progress advanced, the monster¡¯s strength also heightened.
However, his understanding of such special life forms was still a mystery. He only knew that this group of blue-skinned creatures was collecting miracle items all over the world.
The miracle blood stone controlled by the owner of the fog was retrieved from the injured blue-skinned assassin by abat team in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
He had reason to believe that the creature behind the blue-skinned assassin, or the race of the blue-skinned assassin, had obtained several miracle items. Therefore, the potential power of this faction was extremely strong.
The blue-skinned assassin was a potentially formidable adversary that he had not yet fully understood. They would pose a hindrance on the path of human growth.
Thinking of this, he could not help but frown.
As a sacrifice timeline, the most important mission was to investigate more information for the main timeline.
At the very least, he needed to ensure that the main timelineprehended who the adversary was..

He decided to wait for the owner of the fog to return and discuss it with it. Then, he would start investigating the blue-skinned assassin.
3 a.m.
A Tiger Soul Research Institute private ne hovered above the forest 10 miles away from Twilight City.
After the door of the ne opened, the owner of the fog in sunsses jumped down from the sky.
At this moment, the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s private ne changed direction and began to turn back.
As the owner of the fog continued to fall, gray fog appeared under its feet.
At this moment, it turned to look in the direction of Twilight City.
In its opinion, the most important thing in this operation was to ensure the secrecy of the operation.
Therefore, it did not let the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s private ne stop at the airport in Twilight City.
The rest of the operation would be carried out by it alone.
At this moment, it transformed into a gray fog and flew towards Twilight City.
Soon, it saw Twilight City surrounded by mountains.
As an affiliated city of Former Days City, Twilight City was situated amid the mountains to the west of Former Days City.
The city did not boast a lengthy history like the five major cities, nor was it formed by the amalgamation of several nearby cities.
Twilight City had a history of only 200 years.
This area was initially a dense forest. It came into existence through the settlement of numerous refugees and a small poption that had relocated from the city. Subsequently, it was cleared and developed into a small city.
The city was divided into four districts: North, South, East, and West, covering 315 square miles.
Compared to other cities, Twilight City, as an affiliated city, had a very obvious w.
The city¡¯s geographical environment was intricate, with limited areas suitable for habitation. Combined with resource scarcity, the poption remained around 6 million, making further growth challenging.
The resources consumed by the residents of Twilight City mainly relied on the support of the five major cities.
When Twilight City was first established, all the major cities contributed. The major research institutes also built sub-bases inside for the healthy development of the city.
However, the geographical environment of Twilight City ced many restrictions on the city¡¯s development.
It was difficult to make another breakthrough.
It could only exist as an auxiliary city of the Former Days City.
Before dawn, the owner of the fog arrived in the sky above Twilight City.
At this moment, it saw the city scene of Twilight City clearly.
Perhaps it was because the scavengers had an innate sense of danger from the fall of the city.
Twilight City had arge number of battle fortresses and shelters.
These buildings were built to deal with the sudden arrival of a domain field.
Additionally, there were a significant number of advanced technological weapons strategically ced in the city. The internal defense was no less formidable than the external defense.
This city seemed to be specially prepared for war.
This was also one of the advantages of a small city.
If it was a huge city like Star City, the resources needed to build a steel fortress like Twilight City were unimaginable.
After flying over the towering city wall, the owner of the fog began to descend.
It nced around and chose a dark corner.
What the owner of the fog didn¡¯t know was that themand center of Twilight City¡¯s military headquarters had detected an abnormal energy in the air.
Air defense was also a method for the various cities to resist the invasion of a domain transcendent.
After the owner of the fog entered Twilight City, the military urgently mobilized several troops stationed nearby to approach the location where the owner of the fognded, preparing to start a search.
They wanted to confirm if the strange energy that suddenly appeared was rted to a domain transcendent.
At this moment, the owner of the fog hadnded in an alley shrouded in darkness.
After transforming into its human form, it walked out of the alley.
It realized that arge number of people in military uniforms were quickly gathering not far away.
Realizing that it was in danger, it decisively retreated and fused into the darkness again, cursing inwardly.
¡°D*mn it!¡±
Chapter 503 - 503: Mysterious Base (1)
Chapter 503 - 503: Mysterious Base (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Twilight City, West District.
Before dawn, the garrison stationed in the western district of Twilight City quickly mobilized and gathered towards the area where the owner of the fog hadnded.
After detecting the abnormal energy fluctuations in the sky, Twilight City reacted extremely quickly.
This vignce had a lot to do with the history of Twilight City.
The inhabitants were generally descendants of scavengers.
The group of residents who built Twilight City in the early days had experienced the fear of disaster.
While the contemporary residents of Twilight City hadn¡¯t personally endured the despair, whether it be through the ounts in books or the narratives passed down by the older generation, they recognized that there was always a looming crisis and that peace was elusive.
There were many photos taken during the disaster in the memorial hall in Twilight City, as well as interviews and video recordings of the older generation.
Therefore, the sense of danger had always filled the hearts of every resident of Twilight City.
They were afraid that one day, a domain field would suddenly descend on Twilight City and bring upon them a cmity.
The heightened sense of crisis led to Twilight City¡¯s construction giving little consideration to the city¡¯s aesthetics.
Everything was built from the perspective of dealing with the crisis.
This was also the main reason why Twilight City was filled with war fortresses and small-scale ground shelters.
It was the same for the deployment of the city defense army.
There were several troops stationed in the north, south, east, and west districts of the city to deal with emergencies.
Every year, there would be an emergency drill.
Armies were required to arrive in any area under their jurisdiction within 10 minutes for urgent missions.
In addition, Twilight City had an entirely different characteristic from other cities.
Almost everyone in the city was a soldier.
All residents of Twilight City who had reached the age of 16, regardless of gender, had to enter the military for a year of training.
It wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that the defense of Twilight City was akin to an irond bucket.
Any domain creature that were to infiltrate Twilight City would have to faceyers of checkpoints. Even if they entered the city, they would be quickly dealt with if they acted rashly.
As for the air defense system of Twilight City, it was specially built by the Science and Technology Research Institute.
There were 18 air-to-air energy detection radars in the city.
The signal covered the entire sky of Twilight City.
As soon as a domain creature appeared, it would inherently possess stored Spiritual Qi in its body.
If an abnormal energy fluctuation appeared in the sky above Twilight City, it would be detected immediately. The headquarters would mobilize the stationed troops in the area where the energy fluctuation was located to investigate and deal with it.
Twilight City¡¯s defense against domain transcendent creatures was almost imprable.
But there were exceptions.
At least in the face of a domain creature with absolute strength, the reputation of Twilight City¡¯s steel fortress was rendered ineffective.
At this moment, the owner of the fog had transformed into a gray fog and was curled up in a pitch-ck alley.
In its perception range, countless blood-colored light spots were moving quickly in his area to investigate.
After activating its perception, it discovered that the leaders of each team were holding something simr to a disc.
This equipment seemed to have the effect of detecting energy fluctuations.
With this equipment, these members of the military team were approaching the dark alley where he was hiding.
The owner of the fog did not care about these soldiers at all.
During the time it had controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute, its strength had improved rapidly. It was not difficult for it to kill these military soldiers.
But the most important aspect in his operation was secrecy.
If it attacked rashly, it felt that it would affect its subsequent ns.
Thinking of this, it decisively restrained its aura.
It suppressed the surging blood essence energy aura in its body.
Just as it had anticipated, after it subdued the energy fluctuations, the military team that hade for the search lost their target. They decelerated andmenced inspecting the equipment in their hands.
Seeing this, the owner of the fog knew that it couldn¡¯t stay here for long.
The energy signal had been blocked, but its current position had been exposed.
At this moment, it turned to look at the sewer entrance at the end of the alley.
Without hesitation, it immediately floated above the sewer entrance and snuck in.
When the military personnel of Twilight City came to investigate, the owner of the fog was already gone.
At this moment, the owner of the fog, who had entered the sewer, was shuttling through the pipes. There was an unpleasant smell all around.
Even after the cmity, rats were still found in the sewers of every city.
The pitch-ck environment did not affect the owner of the fog¡¯s perception and vision.
It decided to leave the western district through the sewers before heading to the surface.
Before it came, it had read a lot of information about Twilight City.
It knew the coordinates of every research institute in Twilight City. The sub-base of the Scarlet Research Institute was No. 1201 in the east side of Twilight City.
However, its target this time was not the sub-base.
It knew that the Twilight Wolf Combat Team woulde into contact with the Scarlet Research Institute during the mission.
As long as it waited, it would be able to find traces of the Twilight Wolf Combat Team.
Then, it would secretly look for an opportunity to strike.
Thinking about the follow-up n, the owner of the fog floated towards the east of the city along the sewer tunnel.
10 minutester, it suddenly sensed energy fluctuations ahead.
This aroused its curiosity.
It couldn¡¯t help but guess that it might be a secretboratory built by the military in Twilight City.
After perusing a wealth of information about Twilight City, it concluded that, given the military¡¯s approach to problem-solving, aplishing this was entirely feasible..
Chapter 504 - 504: Mysterious Base (2)
Chapter 504 - 504: Mysterious Base (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Perplexed, it maneuvered through the sewer junction. In this instant, its perception subtly extended ahead.
The scene ahead surprised it.
There was apletely different world ahead. It was a well-built research base.
It was familiar with the figures bustling about in this small base. Their bodies appeared to beposed of pure ck energy matter, and their features couldn¡¯t be clearly discerned.
This race was simr to the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, the owner of the fog knew that they were not the ck shadow faction.
The Science and Technology Research Institute was powerful in Future City, but Twilight City was clearly not their territory.
After possessing Wang Yi, it was in the first tier of the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Even if there was a sub-base of the Science and Technology Research Institute in Twilight City, it was impossible for it not to know.
It had an answer to the origins of the mysterious faction ahead.
A faction that had the same appearance as the ck shadow faction but did not belong to the Science and Technology Research Institute was only the Spiritual Energy Race.
After all, the ck shadow faction was only a branch of the Spiritual Energy Race.
They had always been afraid of the Spiritual Energy Race.
This race was not strong in the domain world.
As an old neighbor, after it became the n leader, it often brought its nsmen to the domain field where the Spiritual Energy Race was to plunder resources and exploit them.
However, things were different now.
When its race was forging a new path, it confronted beings obstructing their way. It was the sole one who entered the human world.
This process could not be described as miserable.
Inparison, there was a high chance that the Spiritual Energy Race did not encounter anyone blocking their way. After arriving in the human world, they still retained arge number of nsmen.
In addition, the Spiritual Energy Race had obtained a treasure, the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library.
Leveraging the formidable knowledge within the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library, it harbored no doubt that the current Spiritual Energy Race had advanced to an exceedingly formidable level.
Perhaps they hadpletely controlled Former Days City.
It even suspected that after hundreds of years of development, the Spiritual Energy Race had other miracle items besides the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library.
As for how far the Spiritual Energy Race had developed, it was not sure.
As a subsidiary city of Former Days City, the majority of its resources needed to be subsidized by Former Days City. It wasprehensible that this city would be infiltrated by the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, it did not understand why the Spiritual Energy Race built a secret base in the sewers of Twilight City.
Logically speaking, Former Days City was the best choice for the Spiritual Energy Race.
Its perception extended toward the secret base, and throughyers of detection, it arrived inside the base.
When it saw the scene inside clearly, it was shocked.
As it scanned with its perception, it realized that there were white experiment tables on the right side of theboratory.
Above each experiment tabley a slender blue-skinned figure bound to it.
The owner of the fog was no stranger to the blue-skinned assassin.
Ever since it entered human society, it had been attacked by blue-skinned assassins.
It was still very puzzled about this.
It felt that it had never interacted with a race simr to the blue-skinned assassin, let alone be enemies.
It did not make sense for the blue-skinned race to chase after it so persistently.
Later, when Feng Qi was also attacked by the blue-skinned assassin, it became even more puzzled.
However, it had yet to find out the specific reason.
It decided to consider starting an investigation in this area after dealing with the Scarlet Research Institute.
Seeing that the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s secret research base had blue-skinned assassins, he could not help but suspect that the blue-skinned assassin might be a special life form created by them.
Specially used for special missions such as assassinations.
They might even be a part of the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s future n.
After all, every race that knew that a Great Event would descend in the future had a long-term future n.
These races had one thing inmon.
They thought about the problem from the perspective ofying out the future.
For example, its future n was to sacrifice all of humanity and arge number of domain races in exchange for unparalleled terrifying power.
As long as it had a huge blood essence reserve, it could use its blood essence to create a new body for its nsmen and revive them.
At that time, its race would be reborn in the ashes.
Coupled with the huge amount of resources umtedter, it could help the nsmen grow quickly.
It would no longer be fighting alone.
As long as the n seeded.
In the future, it would definitely have a ce in thepetition between the thousands of races.
Other future ns included the ck Death Project of the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
It did not know the specifics of this n, but it had participated in the relevant meetings of the Science and Technology Research Institute and knew that this n was extremely important to the ck shadow faction.
It was the central and most crucial aspect of the future n.
Therefore, it had reason to suspect that special life forms like the blue-skinned assassin might be a brand new life form created by the Spiritual Energy Race with a vast amount of knowledge.
It was also aponent of the future n, and it might even be a pivotal one.
If this guess was true, it would exin why the blue-skinned assassin was so determined to kill it.
This was because it indeed had a grudge with the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, the scale of this animosity could be either significant or trivial. It believed that after entering the human world, the Spiritual Energy Race had relinquished their animosity and had even taken the initiative to establish contact with it after its descent.
However, it did not anticipate them resorting to underhanded tactics and deceit behind its back.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it felt that this guess did not make sense.
If the Spiritual Energy Race were to target him, they would have done so long ago when it was at its weakest..

Chapter 505: Mysterious Base (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
All the nsmen died in battle when they opened the path. It was the only one who brought the domain field to the human world.
It was also during that period of time that it encountered a member of the Spiritual Energy Race.
After it met with the Spiritual Energy Race member, there were no conflicts in theirmunication. The Spiritual Energy Race member even took the initiative to introduce the situation in the human world to it.
It also stated that it would stay in its ownne, mind its own business, and that the past grievances would be forgotten.
Therefore, if the Spiritual Energy Race wanted to attack it, they did not need to use inferior assassination methods.
It looked at the blue-skinned creature bound to the experiment table again, its heart filled with doubts.
There was a high chance that the blue-skinned creature¡¯s assassination had nothing to do with the Spiritual Energy Race, but it was not sure that the blue-skinned creature was not a special creature created by the Spiritual Energy Race.
At this moment, a red light suddenly lit up in theboratory.
Several spiritual energy shock waves stabbed at its perception.
The owner of the fog immediately felt a slight pain in its head.
Realizing that the detection device in the mysterious base had sensed its perception, it decisively took a detour along the sewer and left. He did not choose to stay.
At this stage, it did not want to interact with the Spiritual Energy Race.
After all, their strengths were entirely disparate. It was imusible for them to engage in dialogue and forge an alliance on equal footing.
At the thought of this, it sped up its retreat.
A momentter, the owner of the fog stopped at a fork in the sewer.
At this moment, its perception extended in all directions.
After confirming that there were no other creatures around, the gray fog began to shrink and finally transformed into a human form.
Then, clothes floated out of the gray fog and automatically put on its body.
At this moment, the owner of the fog took out a special phone of the Tiger Soul Research Institute from the gray fog and made a call.
But before the call could go through, it was cut off.
A line of words appeared on the phone.
[Detected a signal detector nearby. The call is automatically cut off.]
Realizing that the Spiritual Energy Race had built a signal interception device in the sewers, it transformed into a fog and immediately floated up the pipe.
A momentter, it arrived outside.
Leaning against the streetmppost, it took out the special phone from its pocket and called Feng Qi again.
This time, the phone did not give any feedback. The call went through smoothly.
Feng Qi¡¯s voice came from the phone.
¡°Fog, did the n seed?¡±
¡°How can it be so quick? The n hasn¡¯t evenmenced, yet I stumbled upon an unexpected revtion on the way.¡±
¡°I think this discovery might help us understand the origins of the blue-skinned creature.¡±
¡°Gargle¡ Gargle¡ Pui! Tell me in detail.¡± Feng Qi, who was brushing his teeth on the other end of the phone, spat out the white foam and hurriedly said.
¡°It¡¯s like this. The moment I entered Twilight City, I was discovered by the military. In order to avoid being searched, I could only hide in the sewers¡¡± Next, the owner of the fog exined in detail what it had seen in the sewers in the western district of Twilight City to Feng Qi.
This included his guess about the origin of the blue-skinned assassin.
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi had many doubts.
He knew more about the blue-skinned assassin than the owner of the fog.
Instead, he felt that the blue-skinned assassins might have been caught by the Spiritual Energy Race when they tried to snatch the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library.
That was why they were ced on the experiment table for research.
However, there were still many questions that could not be answered.
If the blue-skinned assassin was a special life form created by the Spiritual Energy Race, what was the goal? Why did the Spiritual Energy Race build such a mysteriousboratory in the sewers of Twilight City?
All of this revealed an unusual feeling..

Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
In the core area.
After hanging up, Feng Qi put down the toothbrush in his hand.
The owner of the fog¡¯s encounter in Twilight City waspletely beyond his expectations.
However, the enigmaticboratory of the Spiritual Energy Race and the experimentation on the blue-skinned assassin could not conclusively prove that the blue-skinned creature was created by the Spiritual Energy Race.
He felt that it was very likely that the blue-skinned assassins had been caught by the Spiritual Energy Race when they were snatching the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library.
This led to the subsequent experimental research.
Perhaps the Spiritual Energy Race had suffered from these special life forms for a long time.
Research was just to better target the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s sneak attack.
After experiencing so many timelines, he knew very little about the blue-skinned assassin.
He did not even know where they came from.
Thinking about the clues rted to the blue-skinned assassin, he left the bathroom and sat down on the sofa in the bedroom.
At this moment, an idea shed through his mind.
He suddenly thought of something that he had not noticed before.
In all the sacrifice timelines, he was attacked by the blue-skinned assassin. Only one timeline was rtively special.
That was the sacrifice timeline to join the spies in the Science and Technology Research Institute.
He had lived longer on this sacrifice timeline than he did. At the very least, he had experienced the destruction of the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s sub-base in Twilight City.
However, he, who was on the sacrifice timeline, had never been attacked by the blue-skinned assassin.
This didn¡¯t make sense.
Although he had never encountered a blue-skinned assassin in the timelines leading up to this, his lifespan on those lines was typically not long.
He would have died long ago when it was almost time to meet the blue-skinned assassin.
Therefore, he could understand why there were no relevant records.
However, he could not exin why he was not assassinated by the blue-skinned assassin in the Science and Technology Research Institute.
As he thought, he listed many possibilities.
However, there were big loopholes in these guesses.
One thing was certain.
The blue-skinned assassins appeared at different points in time and in different numbers.
It seemed that the blue-skinned assassins could also change ording to the timeline.
However, it was notpletely irregr.
He could at least confirm a point in time. It would be around half a year.
The subsequent assassinations were simr.
Therefore, he roughly guessed that the blue-skinned assassin would appear at a certain time.
However, the most peculiar aspect of his time undercover in the Science and Technology Research Institute was that he had survived until the age of 37.
In the 20 years since he activated the sacrifice timeline, he had never encountered an assassination attempt by a blue-skinned assassin.
This was quite different from the experiences of the other sacrifice timelines.
The blue-skinned assassin did not care where he was. As long as he seized the opportunity, the blue-skinned assassin would reveal himself and carry out an assassination.
This unusual sacrifice timeline led him to suspect that the absence of the blue-skinned assassin in that timeline was connected to the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, the ck shadow faction seemed to be focused on the ck Death Project. It was unlikely that they would create a blue-skinned assassin.
As he pondered, he thought of two possibilities.
Firstly, he spent most of his time in the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Perhaps the blue-skinned assassin had appeared before, but before he could get close, he was discovered by the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute and killed as an intruder.
This might be the reason why he had never encountered the blue-skinned assassin in that timeline.
Secondly, the blue-skinned assassin was a special life form created by the Spiritual Energy Race. It was specially used to carry out missions to collect miracle items.
This guess was very credible.
The monk had once described the effects of the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library in detail.
This miracle item could record the knowledge of all the members of the Spiritual Energy Race. This made the knowledge reserves and skills of the Spiritual Energy Race stronger than the previous generation.
It was like a huge that connected all the members of the Spiritual Energy Race. At the center of the was a database.
He wondered about the knowledge that the new members of the Spiritual Energy Race desired. They only needed to ess the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library with their consciousness and click ¡°download¡± to acquire the pertinent skills stored in the knowledge base.
This also included a lot of knowledge about creation.
Therefore, the creation potential of the Spiritual Energy Race was extremely terrifying.
It was possible to create blue-skinned creatures to collect miracle items.
In order to help the blue-skinned creature better collect miracle items, the Spiritual Energy Race also forged small ck beads to locate miracle items.
If this guess was true.
The ck shadow faction that had broken away from the Spiritual Energy Race knew of the existence of the blue-skinned assassin and knew how to deal with him.
For example, when Wei Wei was studying the blue-skinned assassin, she discovered that the blue-skinned assassin had been receiving mysterious signals from outside.
Perhaps the ck shadow faction that had escaped from the Spiritual Energy Race had mastered a way to block this signal.
This was also the main reason why he did not encounter the blue-skinned assassin when he was undercover at the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Both guesses could prove that the blue-skinned assassin might be a weapon created by the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, he had no idea what the exact reason was.
For some reason, he felt that things were not that simple.
He clearly remembered that during the escort mission, the blue-skinned assassin had once fought with the Spiritual Energy Race on the canyon. It did not seem like he was controlled by the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, he could not rule out the possibility that this was only an act by the Spiritual Energy Race for all the factions.
He took a deep breath and stopped letting one¡¯s imagination run wild..

At this moment, he came to the closet and took out a Tiger Soul Research Institute uniform.
After putting it on, he went to the mirror and looked at it carefully.
Today was the day of the first round of evaluation of Flesh Sacrifice.
In three hours, there would be a press conference with external reporters.
While the owner of the fog didn¡¯t openly express it, it truly valued this publicity.
He had asked on the phone just now.
Since this sacrifice timeline was on the owner of the fog¡¯s side, he had to do everything to help the owner of the fog develop.
The stronger the owner of the fog was, the more information he could rely on its influence.
It attached great importance to this press conference.
Feng Qi walked out of the room.
The researchers in the core area remained engrossed with their scientific equipment, paying little heed to him.
On the other hand, the Night Shadow Race member controlled by the owner of the fog looked at him with a hint of fear.
After walking out of the core area, he went straight to the cafeteria of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He picked up his te and began to choose his food.
The breakfast at the Tiger Soul Research Institute was sumptuous, bordering on luxurious.
Compared to the Star City Academy, it was a level higher.
However, during this period, the food in the Tiger Soul Research Institute had clearly decreased.
Upon his initial arrival at the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters, the cafeteria not only offered delicacies from major cities but also featured numerous spiritual ingredients sourced from the domain fields.
For example, the Golden Glow Grass in the Twilight domain field.
This was a low-level spiritual material that could nourish the body. It was sold for at least 10,000 yuan a stalk outside.
However, there was an unlimited supply in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Such a luxurious food supply was not a waste.
The specific reason was also rted to the situation in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Most researchers were usually busy with various experiments and rarely had time to cultivate. In addition, they were always tense and often stayed upte.
As a result, the researchers of the various project teams often had health problems.
This undoubtedly dyed the progress of the research.
In order to solve this problem, the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute used a portion of the spiritual resources they received every month to help researchers maintain their bodies.
Thus, there was an unlimited supply of low-level spiritual materials in the cafeteria.
The results of this implementation was outstanding.
Many researchers stayed up all night, but they ate some spiritual ingredients and quickly became energetic again.
However, after the owner of the fogpletely took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the situation changed.
The owner of the fog was different from the Night Shadow Race. It did not need to use the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s research and development to help itself grow.
It felt that it was too wasteful to waste spiritual materials on the researchers.
As a result, he shed 90% of the spiritual ingredient supply in the cafeteria, implementing a restricted allocation. Each researcher was now given a weekly quota.
This was also the reason why the quality of the food in the Tiger Soul Research Institute cafeteria had dropped.
The spiritual delicacies that grew under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi were more delicious than the food produced from modern assembly lines.
This was a heavy blow to the foodies in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
After spending half an hour eating, Feng Qi picked up the soy milk ced beside the te and drank it in one gulp.
He got up and left his seat, before heading straight back to his room.
Two hourster.
At the square of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
The reporters from different cities were seated on both sides of the square.
When Feng Qi¡¯s figure appeared, the lights flickered and the sound of shutters kept ringing.
He sat down at the main seat and looked at the dense crowd of reporters in front of him.
Currently, there were only five minutes remaining until the results of the first round of the cultivation technique evaluation were announced.
The first segment of this press conference was to release the evaluation results.
At this moment, Feng Qi turned to look at the big screen that was still counting down.
Time passed quickly, and themotion gradually subsided when the countdown began.
When the countdown ended, the first evaluation report was received on the big screen.
[Milky Way Research Institute ¨C Flesh Sacrifice Evaluation]
Results: Perfect
Participating Evaluation Departments: Cultivation Technique Research Department, Cultivation Technique Experiment Department, Cultivation Technique Simtion Department, Human Anatomy Research Department, Virtual Technology Department, Spell Technique Research Department¡
Main Evaluator: Li Zhou, Director of the Cultivation Technique Department of the Milky Way Research Institute.
Cultivation Technique Evaluation:¡
Upon witnessing the wless evaluation results submitted by the Milky Way Research Institute, the front-row reporters erupted into excitement. The continuous clicking of shutters filled the air at that moment.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this evaluation.
If humans could detect the problem with Flesh Sacrifice, the owner of the fog wouldn¡¯t have snapped its fingers in the future.
From another perspective.
Old Wang had tried several timelines to crack Flesh Sacrifice, but the progress was slow. He was still far from officially cracking it.
It was evident that the Flesh Sacrifice deduced by the owner of the fog from the blood stone was beyond what humans could discern using modern cultivation technique.
At this moment, the second first round evaluation result appeared on the screen.
The report came from the Victory Research Institute.
The results were as he had expected. It was still a ¡°perfect¡± evaluation.
In hisments, the Vice President of the Victory Research Institute went so far as to write 300 words of praise for this cultivation technique.
As the evaluation reports were sent over, the scene waspletely stirred.
At this moment, across various live streams, the audience went into a frenzy.
Initially, they harbored some skepticism regarding the content of the media publicity..
Chapter 508 - 508: First Round Evaluation: Perfect (3)
Chapter 508: First Round Evaluation: Perfect (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
But now, their worries werepletely dispelled.
All these reports originated from authoritative top-notch cultivation research institutes, and each institute provided a ¡°perfect¡± evaluation.
At this moment, across various live streams, the screen was flooded withments.
¡°Before I saw the evaluation results of the various research institutes, I was still skeptical about Flesh Sacrifice. After all, the rumors on the Inte were too exaggerated. Facts have proven that I was too narrow-minded. Feng Qi is impressive!¡±
¡°Just one word to describe Feng Qi: amazing!¡±
¡°This is destined to be recorded in history. I didn¡¯t expect to witness it firsthand. (Watching live streams on the Inte can be considered as witnessing it firsthand, hehe.)¡±
¡°The results of the first round of evaluation are out. Will it be officially released within a year? I¡¯m eagerly anticipating the day when Flesh Sacrifice is officiallyunched. When the timees, I¡¯ll strive to cultivate Flesh Sacrifice.¡±
A total of 38 institutions participated in the first round.
Among them, there were eight top-notch cultivation technique institutions.
They all gave ¡°perfect¡± evaluations.
At this moment, the press conference entered the second segment, where the reporters asked questions.
The first to stand up was the official representative reporter from Victory City.
At this moment, she looked at Feng Qi and asked with a smile.
¡°Teacher Feng, may I ask where your inspiration for developing Flesh Sacrifice came from?¡±
Faced with the question, Feng Qi nodded calmly.
¡°When I was teaching at the Star City Academy back then, I always aspired to create a super cultivation technique that could advance the current state of modern cultivation. It was during that period that Flesh Sacrifice had its initial inspiration.¡±
The female reporter immediately nodded and continued asking.
¡°Did you choose to drop out of school back then to develop Flesh Sacrifice?¡±
¡°That¡¯s correct. Teaching at the Star City Academy always involves trivial matters that distract me from developing Flesh Sacrifice. I might as well relinquish my teaching position and concentrate on research.¡±
The female reporter sat down and the reporter from the Winter Academy stood up.
¡°Senior Feng Qi, I¡¯m from the Star City Academy, just like you. I¡¯m your junior. I¡¯ve always heard about your legendary status during my time at the Star City Academy. I would like to ask why the outside world refers to you as the rising star.¡±
¡°You tter me. I just want to focus on my research¡¡±
The press conferencested two hours.
Feng Qi responded to the questions with a smile and humbly gave the answers he had already thought of.
Apart from increasing the influence of Flesh Sacrifice, there was another important reason for this press conference.
To create a persona for him.
He aimed to gradually alter people¡¯s perception of him in the direction of being considered a ¡°God.¡±
The first round of evaluation results was only the beginning of the God Creation n.
Next, the owner of the fog would control public opinion to carry out the follow-up n.
In every part of the n, the owner of the fog had to make the world submit to him.
Only through repeated surprises could the world¡¯s impression of him change.
At the end of the n, the owner of the fog would announce the establishment of a statue for him in the name of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
If the n seeded, as long as a portion of humans became his believers, it would be able to have an endless supply of faith power.
In the words of the owner of the fog.
As long as it used the Miracle Bracelet in the right way, the effect might be better than the blood stone in its body.
The fog¡¯s owner even joked that Feng Qi¡¯s future achievements might surpass its own.
Feng Qi was not confident about this.
If this sacrifice timeline could go smoothly, wouldn¡¯t he be able to meet his other self?

After the press conference, Feng Qi¡¯s life returned to normal.
Public opinion was slowly brewing, and the poprity of Flesh Sacrifice was steadily increasing.
He also became the focus of the outside world. Everything was developing in the direction nned by the owner of the fog.
On this morning.
The sky was bright, with low, dark clouds outside and a gentle drizzle.
It was rare for the south gate of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to be open on this day.
A convoy of trucks stretched along the main road outside the base, passing through the security check at the entrance before heading towards the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s warehouse.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s warehouse was located at the back of the base.
The area was enclosed by a wall constructed from special metal. Along the route, three equipment checkpoints were positioned to detect life fluctuations. There was a 30-man squad on duty outside the warehouse, patrolling 24 hours a day and rotating every eight hours.
At this moment, Feng Qi was standing outside the wall of the warehouse, staring at the transport convoying from afar.
He turned to look at his assistant and nodded at it.
The assistant was one of the members of the Night Shadow Race who had been subdued.
Its name was Night-2.
At this moment, it turned to face the metal wall and reached out to enter a long string of passwords on the wall screen.
As the ground trembled, the metal wall slowly sank into the ground.
Soon after, the warehouse quickly extended and expanded.
In a moment, an elevator that led to the underground rose from the center of the warehouse.
At this moment, the convoy stopped outside the warehouse.
¡°Let¡¯s start tallying the resources,¡± Feng Qi said at this moment.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯sbat team standing behind him heard him and went forward to help unload the goods.
The containers that were unloaded would be opened, and the resources would be counted.
The counting method was quite straightforward. One simply had to use a scanning device and scan the contents. The detectors developed by the Science and Technology Research Institute could automatically record the resources in them.
The number of resources indicated on the tablet in Feng Qi¡¯s hand was increasing.
The spiritual materials scanned by the device would be disyed on the tablet in his hand simultaneously.
This happened once a month, and he had to supervise the resource count.
The owner of the fog didn¡¯t care much about the research projects at the Tiger
Soul Research Institute. It only valued resources.
When it was around, it would be in charge of the resource inventory.
However, since the owner of the fog was executing a n against the Scarlet Research Institute, Feng Qi took over the responsibility for the time being.
He spent half a day tallying the resources.
The spiritual materials allocated this month were counted.
After confirming that there were no problems with the list, Feng Qi gave the order. Then, arge number of spiritual materials were sent to the underground warehouse through the elevator.
The remaining spiritual materials would be sent to the sub-bases, the research project teams at the headquarters, and the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s cafeteria.
After keeping busy for a while, his clothes were already soaked from the ram. Feng Qi was about to return to his room to change his clothes when he realized a figure was slowly walking towards him from the south gate.
Its clothes were tattered, but its face was filled with a confident smile.
It was the owner of the fog who had been gone for more than 10 days.
Seeing the smile on the owner of the fog¡¯s face, he knew that this mission had seeded.
The owner of the fog walked in front of him.
It reached out and punched his chest, grinning.
¡°The n worked.¡±
Feng Qi was not surprised to hear this.
In the normal historical timeline, the owner of the fog had also seeded.
Had the owner of the fog not concealed the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to assume the role of their new leader and sessfully progress to the second tier of the core team of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
After somemunication, Feng Qi roughly understood the owner of the fog¡¯s experience in Twilight City.
There were no mistakes in the process.
At this stage, the Science and Technology Research Institute was wary of the Scarlet Research Institute.
Next, vignce would gradually turn into hostility in the owner of the fog¡¯s subsequent n.
After listening to the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi sized it up and smiled.
¡®¡öSince you¡¯re back, it means the operation is over. What are your ns next?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll engage in secluded cultivation for a few months before considering those matters. After all, enhancing my strength is the top priority.¡±
As it spoke, the owner of the fog turned to look at Night-2, who was following behind it.
Its tone turned cold as it said fiercely.
¡°Night-2, open the warehouse door for me. Your lord is going into seclusion.¡± After cultivating Flesh Sacrifice, Night-2, whose life was under the owner of the fog¡¯s control, trembled. It scuttled back to the metal wall of the warehouse and entered the password.
The metal wall descended once more, and the warehouse base unfolded like a blooming flower.
The owner of the fog reached out and patted its shoulder.
¡öTH go into seclusion first. Contact me through themunication device if there¡¯s any emergency.¡±
¡°Go on.¡±
The owner of the fog nodded and walked towards the elevator of the resource warehouse.
This warehouse was important to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and was listed as a forbidden area.
However, to the owner of the fog, this was just a treasure vault for it to obtain spiritual resources at will.
Looking at the owner of the fog who was standing on the elevator tform, Feng Qi was about to turn around and leave.
However, the owner of the fog raised its right hand and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.
Three dayster, Feng Qi was flipping through the news in his office.
At this moment, his phone rang.
Picking up his phone, he realized that it was a call from an unknown number..
Chapter 510 - 510: Dark Stepping Stone (2)
Chapter 510: Dark Stepping Stone (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Puzzled, he answered the call.
¡°Am I speaking to Teacher Feng?¡±
¡°Who is this?¡±
¡°I¡¯m a staff member of the evaluation department of the Joint Research Institute. Recently, our team has passed the review of your achievements. We¡¯ve begun to prepare the award for the Gold Medal of Outstanding Contribution. We¡¯ll deliver it to you by express delivery within a month.¡±
¡°In addition, we¡¯ve decided to set up a hero statue for you in the Star City Memorial Hall. We hope that you cane to our Joint Research Institute¡¯s branch in Star City for a body scan¡¡±
After hanging up, Feng Qi got up and left the office, walking towards the room in the core area.
He was not surprised by the arrival of this medal.
Flesh Sacrifice had be a super cultivation technique that was enough to promote modern cultivation in the eyes of the various research institutes and the Joint Research Institute.
Winning the Gold Medal of Outstanding Contribution was a certainty, a guaranteed sess.
As for building a statue for him in the Star City Memorial Hall, this was a step in the owner of the fog¡¯s n.
The owner of the fog had submitted this application to the Joint Research Institute in the name of all the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute before heading to Twilight City.
Getting a ¡°perfect¡± evaluation in the first round sped up this progress.
It did not want to dy this matter.
The sooner it was resolved, the faster the owner of the fog¡¯s n could be carried out. It could also rely on the power of faith to continuously be stronger.
Feng Qi¡¯s guessst night could be realized soon.
He was able to see himself in the main timeline 1,500 yearster.
After returning to his room, he changed his clothes and contacted the staff of the Joint Research Institute again.
After ending the call, he boarded a military vehicle and headed directly to the Joint Research Institute.
The military vehicle drove out of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Looking at the scenery outside through the window, he felt extremely emotional.
He was a human traitor thest time he went to the Joint Research Institute.
However, this time, he adopted the guise of a ¡°hero¡± adorned with glory.
A monthter.
Outside the Star City Memorial Hall.
A military vehicle bearing the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s logo came to a halt. Feng Qi, dressed in in clothes, disembarked from the car.
After exining to the chauffeur, he put on a mask and turned to look at the memorial hall.
It was a building filled with history. In front of the memorial hall stood a towering monument engraved with the names of martyrs.
He walked up the steps and arrived at the memorial hall.
Today, the memorial hall was congested with people. They had to queue to enter.
Today was a special day, as his hero statue would be unveiled and officially ced in the memorial hall.
Many residents of Star City came due to his reputation.
He followed the crowd and waited for half an hour before finally entering the memorial hall.
The memorial hall was spacious. The first thing that appeared in front of him were broken military gs and pictures stuck to the wall.
He came to a podium and looked at the staff member who was exining the story behind the pictures.
Listening to his exnation, Feng Qi turned his gaze to the pictures.
In the pictures was a crippled warrior.
His name was Ye Wushui.
Feng Qi was no stranger to his story. He had heard it in Old Wang¡¯s history ss.
That period of history was in the early days of the cmity.
Ye Wushui was a warrior who had graduated from Victory Academy. Following graduation, he fought on the front lines of the war zone, shedding his blood to resist the invasion of the domain field.
His legendary experience urred when he was 29 years old.
At that time, a domain field numbered 3-11, known as ¡°Charred Ruins¡±, fused with this world.
Arge number of domain transcendent creatures appeared inside. One of the factions was called the Charred Ruins Race.
This race was extremely special.
They had powerful disguise abilities, and it was difficult to distinguish them just by their appearance.
Moreover, this race never fought humans head-on. They captured humans and studied their gic sequences to create gic viruses to destroy human civilization.
The Charred Ruins domain field brought many hidden dangers to the development of Star City at that time, but it was sessfully dispersed in the end.
But the crisis was not over.
Following the dispersion of the Charred Ruins domain field, a significant number of lives inside copsed and perished as they lost the support of the rules.
However, many nsmen of the Charred Ruins Race survived.
In the following days, the remaining nsmen walked in the darkness and captured the residents of the affiliated cities around Star City. Then, they used their bodies to conduct gic virus experiments.
They sought to use this method to take revenge on humans.
To remove this cancer, the Star City military had thought of many ways.
However, all of these methods failed.
The remaining nsmen were cautious. They would not easilye into contact with humans.
They disguised themselves as humans and hid in the affiliated cities around Star City. The operation to capture humans would only take ce when they thought it was absolutely feasible.
That was when Ye Wushui stood up.
After he returned home from the front line on vacation, he applied for a long leave from thebat team.
He traveled to an affiliated city near Star City. Every day, he pretended to be mentally disabled and a beggar in a busy area, acting as if he were insane throughout the day.
During this period, he snatched food from vicious dogs and often picked up the food scraps on the ground to eat. There was always a silly smile on his face.
Thissted for more than a month before he was finally targeted by the Charred Ruins Race who was hiding in the crowd.
The Charred Ruins Race, who thought that he was harmless, had captured him to a secret stronghold outside the city.
During this period, he suffered unbearable pain.
Imprisonment, body modification, amputation, and various forms of torture¡ªhe gritted his teeth and endured it all.
Thissted up to three months.
Finally, one day, he seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the nsmen had let down their guard against him, he fled their secret base.
After escaping death, he told the Star City military about the secret stronghold of the Charred Ruins Race.
In the end, the Charred Ruins Race was wiped out.
Looking at Ye Wushui, who was covered in wounds in the pictures, Feng Qi felt deep veneration.
Lu Xun had once remarked that throughout history, there were those who toiled diligently, those who sought orders on behalf of the people, and those who sacrificed themselves for thew. Even though it might be akin to the so-called ¡°righteous history¡± of emperors and generals, it often couldn¡¯t conceal their glory. This, he asserted, was the backbone of a nation.
Old Wang had once mentioned this in ss.
¡°They chose to bear a burden in the darkness because they hoped that your future would be filled with light.¡±
He followed the crowd forward and swept his gaze across the tattered gs and pictures.
There were certain things whose true weight one onlyprehended after experiencing them.
Just like on every sacrificial timeline, he left behind only his name or a few descriptions in each historical record.
History was vast and individually insignificant.
The heroes in the memorial hall were the same.
Behind each name was a melodious story that could not be expressed in a few words or pictures¡ They all had a life of their own.
At this moment, his heart traversed the river of time and resonated.
Following the crowd, they walked past numerous memorial halls. Broken gs, bloodstained clothes, and shattered weapons adorned the exhibits, each item carrying a piece of history.
Finally, they arrived at the unveiling hall.
This was also his destination for this trip.
Standing in the crowd, he looked at the statue in front of him covered by the ck curtain and felt conflicted.
He, who had many sacrifices, was qualified to be here.
But on this sacrifice timeline, he felt that he was not worthy.
From the Winterfrost Supply Area to the Former Days Eastern Supply Area to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, his hands had been stained with the blood of numerous humans over the years.
What was ironic was¡
He, who had chosen to fall into darkness, became a human hero. The statue would forever be kept in the Star City Memorial Hall for future generations to admire.
Behind this glory was a twisted history.
He felt that it was an insult to the heroes that his statue was ced there.
It was as if the colorful canvas was stained with a trace of ck that could not be erased.
He took a deep breath to regte his emotions.
At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded beside him.
¡°Do you think you¡¯re not worthy?¡±
He turned to his right and realized that Wei Wei hade to his side.
¡°Are you surprised to see me after being invited to this event?¡±
¡°I¡¯m a little surprised.¡±
¡°Back to the topic just now. Do you think you don¡¯t deserve to be erected here?¡±
¡°Do you think I¡¯m worthy?¡±
¡°Of course. In my opinion, you¡¯re more qualified than anyone else.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°I get the guilt you feel, but remember this: Falling into darkness doesn¡¯t make you darkness. It¡¯s just a step toward reaching the light.¡±
Looking at the smile on Wei Wei¡¯s face, he could not help but be stunned.
¡°Are you moved by me?¡± Wei Wei leaned closer to his face with a teasing expression.
¡°No..

After the unveiling ceremony of the hero statue ended, Feng Qi returned to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the following days, he continued to carry out the owner of the fog¡¯s faith-harvesting n.
On this morning.
After breakfast, Feng Qi went to his office.
As soon as he entered, he saw a thick stack of documents on the desk.
He sat down at his desk and took a sip of the tea that Night-2 had just brewed.
Putting down his teacup, he picked up a document and started flipping through
Before he fell asleepst night, he instructed Night-2 to use the authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to transfer this information over.
The content of the information was rted to the beliefs of modern humans.
A deeper understanding of theposition of modern humans¡¯ faith would help him carry out his subsequent ¡°faith-harvesting¡± n.
Time passed bit by bit as he flipped through the information.
He would pick up his teacup and take a sip from time to time.
While going through the information, Feng Qi found that numerous factions had emerged based on the faith of modern humans. These were primarily associated with mainstream factions such as Daoism, Buddhism, and Christianity.
Each faith faction revered a distinct god, and the god system of each faction varied.
From the data, it could be seen that the modern faith factions were no longer as prosperous as before the cmity.
Under the influence of the new model of education, modern humans were more inclined to worship heroes who fought in bloody battles on the front line rather than mythical gods.
An old research institute had conducted social research on human faith.
Finally, a set of more authoritative data was obtained.
Devout believers in modern humankind constitute less than 6% of the poption.
Among them, approximately 23% were casual believers.
The casual believers meant that they were cautious about the existence of gods and treated them with an attitude that they would rather believe than not.
They would follow the faith of the older generation, but theirmitment was not deep, and they were easily influenced.
The remaining 71% were made up of atheists and hero believers.
Flipping through the faith-rted information, Feng Qi discovered something strange. ¡ã
He discovered that in the new era of mankind after the cmity, many new faiths had been born.
However, these faith factions were very small and could notpete with the mainstream factions.
This was rted to the environment of the new era.
People in the post-cmity era tended to approach problems pragmatically, which led to ack of solid foundation for the growth of faith factions.
But one faction was an exception.
This faith faction was called the Dark God Sect. It was established in the western district of Former Days City.
To this day, followers of this sect are scattered across the five major cities and numerous affiliated smaller cities.
The deities revered by the Dark God Sect were referred to as ¡°Dark God.¡±
The information also provided a detailed introduction to the Dark God. It described the process of the first god-the Dark God-being born in darkness creating the world, and bestowing mes and light upon mankind.
At the end of the information, it also stated that there were many benefits brought about by faith in the Dark God.
It was associated with the rewards from reincarnation and the next life.
Feng Qi scoffed at these descriptions.
The deities described by the believers were simr in many aspects.
However, if faith was useful, cities would not fall one after another, and countless scavengers would not be homeless.
However, he was curious about the rapid development of this faith.
With doubts, he continued to read the relevant information about the Dark God Sect.
Soon, his expression became solemn.
He discovered that the rapid development of the Dark God Sect was rted to the feedback of its believers.
The information recorded arge number of cases where believers received feedback after they believed in the Dark God.
For example, a believer in the Western District of Former Days City.
He had endured a terminal illness in the predecessor of the Dark God faith. The hospital had even issued a critical illness notice.
Before this believer passed away, he made ast-ditch effort and chose to believe in the Dark God.
m the end, in just a month, the illness in his body miraculously disappeared.
After the hospital¡¯s examination, the conclusion was the same. His body was fine, and he was no different from a normal person.
This matter had caused quite a stir in the western district of Former Days City.
It also brought a lot of exposure to the Dark God Sect.
As a result, many people chose to believe in the Dark God.
If not for the Dark God Sect¡¯s positive goals, they would probably have been suppressed by Former Days City¡¯s officials.
There were many such cases in the development and expansion of the Dark God Sect.
There were hundreds of cases recorded in the data, and the ounts of the other believers were even more extensive. It seemed that faith in the Dark God could heal illnesses and bring about fortune.
After reading the relevant information about the Dark God Sect, Feng Qi could not help but fall into deep thought.
He did not believe in the existence of the Dark God.
However, ording to the information, many believers had the same mentality as him before they believed in the Dark God at all.
Many of them were graduates from famous universities.
With their judgment, it was apparent that they would not be easily fooled.
However, he felt that things were not that simple.
If the Dark God had the power to help humans, why didn¡¯t they disperse all the domain fields and bring true light?
Many domain creatures could recover from minor illnesses and pain.
For instance, Le Ping¡¯an had ovee his terminal illness with the assistance of the ck shadow faction at that time. This was also the primary reason why his parents chose to throw themselves into the darkness.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that there might be a domain faction behind the Dark God Sect.
They might be involved in something huge.
He suspected that this hidden force possessed a simr ability to the Miracle Bracelet in his possession. The Dark God Sect was established solely to acquire the power of faith and establish its future..

Just as Feng Qi was deep in thought, the door was pushed open.
He looked up and realized that it was the owner of the fog.
Looking at the owner of the fog who was still wearing tattered clothes and a smile on its face, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Has it ended?¡±
¡°Emerging from seclusion, the future holds promise to a divine technique.¡±
As it spoke, the owner of the fog walked to the desk and sat down.
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.
¡°What are you researching?¡± The owner of the fog cast its gaze at the documents on the desk.
¡°Analyze theposition of human faith at this stage.¡±
Hearing this, the owner of the fog immediately nodded.
¡°You need to concentrate on this aspect. We have chosen the path of hero worship to ascend to godhood. Essentially, it conflicts with the faith in these gods. It can even be considered the opposite.¡±
¡°After all, pragmatically speaking, the faith in these gods is illusory. If you wish to gain more faith, you have to find a way to undermine the faith in these gods.¡±
¡°After all, there¡¯s only one piece of cake. If our believers increase, the number of believers in other faiths will decrease.¡±
As it spoke, the owner of the fog asked curiously.
¡°Have you found anything after looking at theposition of modern humans¡¯ faith?¡±
¡°There¡¯s an unexpected discovery.¡± As he spoke, Feng Qi handed the information about the Dark God Sect to the owner of the fog.
After receiving the information, the owner of the fog started flipping through it with doubts.
A momentter, the owner of the fog looked up at him.
¡°Do you think that there¡¯s a domain faction behind the Dark God Sect that¡¯s obtaining the power of faith?¡±
¡°Yes, I think so.¡± He immediately nodded and continued.
¡°However, there¡¯s one thing that can¡¯t be exined. If there¡¯s a domain faction behind the Dark God Sect, why would the Spiritual Energy Race in the Former Days City sit back and do nothing? After all, this is a domain faction that has developed in their territory. Aren¡¯t they worried about the threat this faction might pose?¡±
¡°Have you thought of a possibility? What if this Dark God Sect is part of the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s future n?¡±
The owner of the fog¡¯s words made Feng Qi fall into deep thought.
He suddenly remembered something.
This matter was rted to the monk¡¯s historical identity.
In the Star City database, the monk from 1500 yearster was listed as a ¡°spiritual mentor¡± for humans. He spread the message of mental power and encouraged people to resist invasion through a practical perspective.
For this goal, the monk took the initiative to relinquish his position as the leader of the Prajna Domain Combat Team.
At the time, he had wondered why the monk had done this.
As the leader of the Prajna Domain Combat Team, he could continue to lead his members to fight at the front line.
What made him drop his burdens and turn into a spiritual mentor?
But he had not asked the monk that question.
After all, the monk had not stepped out of the school gate when he confessed the truth to him.
It had been many years since he became a spiritual mentor.
The monk¡¯s current goal appeared to align with his behavior.
The monk¡¯s goal was to challenge the theory of faith and establish a hero worship centered around real-life human heroes.
A possible guess appeared in his mind.
The main battlefield of the Prajna Domain Combat Team led by the monk was near the Former Days Supply Area.
The birthce of the Dark God Sect and its main believers came from Former Days City.
Perhaps the monk had discovered the secret of the Dark God Sect when he was leading thebat team, but he could not reveal these secrets to the world.
He was afraid that the bloody truth would crush the mental defense of all mankind.
So he chose another way to save humanity.
There were only two ways to defeat the Dark God Sect.
He could directly confront and defeat the forces behind the Dark God Sect or undermine the faith of humans in the sect, rendering their ns useless.
The first method might be limited by the strength of the Prajna Domain Combat Team and the impact it might have on the world.
The second approach involved persuading people to abandon their belief in the gods and shift towards a faith rooted in reality.
Observing the monk¡¯s actions after stepping down as the team leader, it became evident that he had embraced the second method, focusing on encouraging people to shift from faith in the gods to a more grounded faith in reality.
Unlike him, the owner of the fog wanted to crush the faith of the gods so that it could obtain more sources of faith.
However, the monk¡¯s actions were purely to save all of humanity and be a tool for the domain faction to grow.
This exined his series of confusing actions in the historical sources.
Outsiders might not think much of the monk¡¯s change.
Considering Feng Qi¡¯s understanding of the monk, it seemed unlikely that he would undertake a seemingly thankless task unless it held significant meaning or importance to him.
As for the exact truth, he had no way of knowing for now. This was only his guess based on the current information.
At this moment, the owner of the fog interrupted his thoughts.
¡°Maybe delving deeper into the Dark God Sect will provide more insights. The information we have is limited. Nevertheless, regardless of the details, the Dark God Sect will stand as your adversary on the path of faith.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
There were only two guesses about the Dark God Sect now.
Firstly, this faction did not have the support of a domain faction. The growth of this faith faction was purely a coincidence.
Secondly, there was a domain faction behind this faction that was obtaining the power of faith.
As for the exact answer, it remained to be investigated.
Time passed quickly as they discussed the situation of the Dark God Sect.
At noon the next day.
After lunch, Feng Qi changed into casual clothes and left Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters with the owner of the fog.
Their goal for this trip was to the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in the eastern district of Star City.
He decided to go personally and investigate.
Perhaps he could discover the truth there.
A few hourster, the military vehicle stopped by the roadside half a mile away from the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch.
Feng Qi and the owner of the fog alighted the vehicle.
For the sake of keeping a low profile, they proceeded on foot.
Following the route to the Dark God Sect¡¯s Star City branch, they walked for a moment and saw the building.
The Dark God Sect¡¯s building was unique.
The rooftop was adorned with a scarlet crystal made from an unidentified material, casting vibrant hues in the sunlight.
¡°It¡¯s quite impressive.¡± The owner of the fog grinned.
¡°Is there something wrong with this crystal?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no Spiritual Qi fluctuation on it. It¡¯s just an ordinary crystal in a domain field.¡±
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi nodded.
They walked up the stairs to the building of the Dark God Sect and entered it.
In fronty an elongated, narrow corridor adorned with murals on either side.
There were 18 murals.
These murals depicted the birth of the Dark God, the creation of the world, the origin of various entities, the emergence of humanity, the dissemination of knowledge, and other rted narratives.
Moving forward, a grassy garden unfolded, adorned with lush green nts.
Various-colored flowers adorned the outskirts of the grassy expanse. At its center stood eight formidable statues.
At this moment, many believers knelt in front of the eight statues and worshiped piously.
Feng Qi understood the origins of these eight statues through the information.
ording to the information, these eight statues were first-rank gods created by the Dark God, namely the Eight Evil Mighty.
Despite beingbeled as evil, their actions were never malevolent. Instead, their responsibility was to uphold the equilibrium of the world and strive for a state of perfection.
This allowed the Dark God Sect to be established and promoted sessfully.
It had something to do with the teachings of this sect.
At the very least, the doctrine consistently advocated positive values. It continually emphasized the importance of maintaining apassionate heart and approaching life with positivity and optimism.
It was precisely because of this that the Dark God Sect could promote itself in other cities without any hindrance.
If it were a sect with a warped ideology, the major cities wouldn¡¯t provide a conducive environment for its development.
However, Feng Qi had reason to believe that there might be a conspiracy behind this.
Just like Flesh Sacrifice, it had a morous appearance and was even known as a super cultivation technique that could change human cultivation.
However, this super cultivation technique was essentially just a method for the owner of the fog to harvest all of humanity and arge number of domain factions.
Perhaps there was also a group of people controlling the Dark God Sect to extract the power of human faith to grow.
Puzzled, they continued along the marble path in the garden.
After walking out of the garden, his vision suddenly became clear.
It was a circr za that was paved with cobblestones. At this moment, dozens of believers were kneeling on the ground and worshiping the statue over 30 feet tall in the center of the za.
This statue was the Dark God.
Upon seeing the Dark God statue, Feng Qi inexplicably found it remarkably familiar.
I think I¡¯ve seen this somewhere before.
As he sized it up, he suddenly remembered where he had seen it before.
Although the characteristics of the statue were slightly different, he still recognized it.
Wasn¡¯t this the statue worshiped by the goat-headed demons?!
Chapter 513 - 513: Deep Understanding (1)
Chapter 513: Deep Understanding (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Qi had a deep impression of the statue worshiped by the goat-headed demons.
The first few times he transmigrated to the world 1,500 years in the future, he did not have any abilities. When exploring the future ruins, he could only hide.
He did not have the strength to fight any domain creatures.
Until he met the goat-headed demons.
Back then, ckie was about to approach his area.
In an effort to stall ckie, he ascended a tall building and selected a target for
ckie to engage in battle.
Due to the limited time, he looked around and found a humanoid life form with
a goat¡¯s head.
The result was unexpected.
Other domain creatures would take the initiative to attack ckie when they encountered it, but the goat-headed demon ran away instead.
Fortunately, there was a strange tree blocking ckie along the way.
Otherwise, he would have died.
Next, he followed the goat-headed demon all the way to its nest. There, he
found a statue worshiped by them.
At that time, he had no thoughts about the statue.
He only wanted the goat-headed demon to help dy ckie¡¯s pursuit and lure
ckie into the goat-headed demon¡¯s nest.
This n was undoubtedly a sess.
As expected, ckie caught up and fought with the goat-headed demon.
At that time, he wanted to take this opportunity to leave.
Yet, the narrator cautioned him to focus on eliminating the weak life source within the statue.
The narration was unreliable most of the time, but it never failed at critical
moments.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and attacked.
The process was perilous. Despite breaking his bones, he couldn¡¯t breach the defensive surface of the statue.
However, in the end, he still killed the sphere of flesh in the statue.
It turned out that the narrator¡¯s suggestion was useful. After eliminating the life source in the statue, he obtained the most useful ability, Blood Source.
Upon activating the ability, his body would be engulfed in a potent blood essence power, reshaping his form and granting a formidable boost inbat strength.
From that point onward, his fighting style shifted from evasion and retreat to a more aggressive and attacking approach.
He also gradually came to appreciate the distinctive and intense beauty of close-quartersbat.
Therefore, he had a deep impression of the statue worshiped by the
goat-headed demon.
Looking at the statue in the center of the za filled with cobblestones, he was stunned.
The 30-foot statue differed in numerous details from the 3-foot goat-headed demon statue etched in his memory, preventing instant recognition at first nce.
After sizing it up, he was certain that this was the statue worshiped by the goat-headed demons.
He was puzzled about this.
He couldn¡¯t understand the rtionship between the Dark God Sect and the god worshiped by the goat-headed demons.
A significant gap existed in the middle of this information. He couldn¡¯t connect the two pieces of information, leaving a void where the unknown content should be filled in.
After a long silence, he turned to look at the owner of the fog beside him.
¡°Fog, did you find anything?¡±
Faced with the question, the owner of the fog nodded and said in a deep voice.
¡°I can sense a wisp of faint flesh aura in this Dark God statue.¡± -Are you saying there is a life source in the statue?¡± he asked tentatively.
¡°Of course not. If it were, its Qi wouldn¡¯t be so faint. This amount of Qi is not even one-tenth of an ordinary person¡¯s. It¡¯s insufficient to sustain the flow of life.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi suddenly thought of something.
A few years ago, when the owner of the fog researched the effect of the Miracle Bracelet, it had mentioned how to use it.
The specific process involved constructing a statue of Feng Qi and embedding a trace of consciousness, Qi, and blood within it.
This way, when the believers worshiped the statue, the owner of the fog could obtain pure mental power through the Miracle Bracelet, which was the power of faith.
¡°It seems that a domain faction is harvesting human faith,¡± Feng Qi said.
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog could not help but nod. ¡°Considering the swift growth of the Dark God Sect, there might be a connection to the Spiritual Energy Race to some extent. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy Race wouldn¡¯t have permitted the expansion of such a faction, with Former Days City as its starting point¡ Of course, we can¡¯t dismiss the possibility that the Dark God Sect is part of the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s future strategy.¡±
just as the owner of the fog was analyzing the situation, an old man in ck walked over from afar.
He wore a gentle expression, holding a book adorned with a Dark God pattern in his hand.
-Do you wish to join the Dark God Church and worship alongside us, or are you merely here to observe?¡±
¡°Hello. We¡¯re just here to take a look. We¡¯re not joining,¡± responded the owner of the fog with a friendly expression.
¡°If you don¡¯t mind, I can be your tour guide and introduce the Dark God Sect to you. Perhaps you will change your opinion of the Dark God Sect.¡±
The owner of the fog didn¡¯t reject the invitation.
The path of fostering hero worship shed with the belief in gods.
Gaining more knowledge about the enemy would undoubtedly aid them in devising targeted ns for the future.
Following the old man with the book in his hand, they began to wander around the buildings of the Dark God Sect.
Through the old man¡¯s exnation, they learned that the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City had a total area of 92,000 square feet.
This area was not bigpared to the various venues in Star City.
Throughout the church, there were 80 full-time believers.
The old man was one of them. Their daily expenses were handled by the headquarters of Former Days City.
They could receive a monthly fund from the headquarters and were also promoters of the Dark God Sect in Star City..
Chapter 514 - 514: Deep Understanding (2)
Chapter 514: Deep Understanding (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Under their promotion, the number of believers of the Dark God Sect in Star City had already reached 4,358.
They had regr jobs and would onlye to the Dark God Sect for devout worship when they had free time.
The old man also said that these believers didn¡¯t believe in the Dark God at first.
However, after experiencing some situations, they gradually believed in the existence of the Dark God and became pious.
When Feng Qi asked what they had experienced, he got the same answer as in the information.
Their involvement was linked to the healing of illnesses and physical conditions.
Listening to the old man recounting the incident of the Dark God saving his believers with a pious expression, the owner of the fog suddenly interrupted.
¡°Have the Dark God ever revived believers?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately cast a puzzled look at the owner of the fog.
Is the owner of the fog here to cause trouble?
The old man holding the book was also stunned. Then, he shook his head and said.
¡°The Dark God won¡¯t interfere with the cycle of life and death, but devout believers will be guided by the Dark God in the afterlife, obtaining a beautiful new existence.¡±
With that said, the old man pointed at the fountain not far away and said.
¡°This is the Dark God Sect¡¯s holy water. Drinking it over a long period strengthens your body. You can try it.¡±
When Feng Qi and the owner of the fog heard this, they immediately turned to look at said fountain.
¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡± The owner of the fog nodded decisively.
Upon reaching the fountain, it extended for the wooden bowl and dipped adle into the water.
After taking a sip, the owner of the fog couldn¡¯t help but nod.
¡°It contains a trace of Spiritual Qi. Consuming it for a long time does have the effect of strengthening your body.¡±
¡°This has nothing to do with Spiritual Qi. The holy water in the fountain was blessed by the Dark God. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can look for spiritual stones embedded in this fountain.¡±
The old man was a little dissatisfied with the owner of the fog¡¯s words, but he still exined humbly.
When the owner of the fog heard this, it grinned but did not respond.
At this moment, its gaze passed through the marble surface at the bottom of the fountain and saw the array patterns carved on the inside.
This was a small spirit-gathering array that automatically extracted the nearby Spiritual Qi.
After following the old man for a while in the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch, they roughly understood the situation here.
The development of the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City was still in its infancy.
Compared to Star City, which had a poption of tens of millions, the number of thousands of believers was not worth mentioning.
However, through the old man¡¯s introduction, they also saw the growth potential of the Dark God Sect.
By treating believers and other promotional methods, the Dark God Sect would be able to develop rapidly in Star City.
However, the condition was that the sect would spread like a spider web in Star City only when the number of believers reached a certain threshold.
As for the Dark God Sect, which had taken root in Star City for several years and only had a few thousand believers now, this was also rted to Star City¡¯s environment.
Now, they were certain that the Spiritual Energy Race was behind the Dark God Sect.
After all, it was impossible for the Spiritual Energy Race that upied Former Days City to let an uncontrolled domain faction grow quickly.
The Spiritual Energy Race also helped to encourage the development of the Dark God Sect.
For example, media publicity, etc.
However, in Star City, the Dark God Sect did not have such treatment.
After all, Star City was not under the control of the Spiritual Energy Race. It was impossible to control the media to help the Dark God Sect.
Crucially, the media in Star City opposed this theory.
There might be instances of believers recovering from terminal illnesses, but once the media in Star City became aware of such cases, they promptlybeled them as mere ¡°coincidences.¡±
It was impossible to report such incidents.
The media was an important window to the outside world. There were various information tforms, short videos, news media, and so on.
These windows were an important medium for the residents of Star City to understand the outside world.
If the media didn¡¯t report about it, the public wouldn¡¯t know about it.
In fact, Star City had tolerated the existence of the Dark God Sect. It was impossible to promote it.
This also caused the development of the Dark God Sect in Star City to be at a bottleneck.
Feng Qi had reason to believe it.
As long as the number of believers in the Dark God Sect reached a certain number, there was no need for the media to report and publicize the expansion in the future. The expansion would take off.
They had a deeper understanding of the Dark God Sect under the old man¡¯s introduction.
After departing from the Dark God Sect branch, they boarded the military vehicle that had been waiting and headed back to the headquarters of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
After returning to the office in the core area, the owner of the fogy on the sofa and pondered. Then, it said.
¡°The development of the Dark God Sect in Former Days City might be smooth, but there¡¯s no room for this sect to develop in Star City.¡±
¡°Why? Are you nning to attack it?¡± Feng Qi immediately asked.
¡°Of course. Star City is my territory. How can I tolerate them growing wantonly in my territory?¡±
¡°What are you up to?¡±
¡°Most of the media in Star City is under our control and promoting the Dark God Sect requires a wealth of positive news. These early stages are the most challenging for the sect¡¯s development. Naturally, I need to strategically discredit them. Are you suggesting I should provide publicity for them?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being targeted by the Spiritual Energy Race in Former Days City?¡±
¡°Yes, of course, I¡¯m afraid, but the Spiritual Energy Race doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m in control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
As the owner of the fog spoke, a wicked smile appeared on its face.
¡°Ah Qi, sometimes you can¡¯t afford to be too timid in the face of challenges. Even if you¡¯re aware that your opponent¡¯s strength surpasses yours by far, you must grasp one thing: the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark..¡±
Chapter 515 - 515: Deep Understanding (3)
Chapter 515: Deep Understanding (3)

¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Let me put it this way. If you find yourself in an unfamiliar territory facing a challenge from a mysterious faction, and you¡¯re unaware of the strength backing them, what would you do?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately understood what the owner of the fog wanted to express.
In fact, he had done this in the previous timeline.
At that time, he chose to go against the Science and Technology Research Institute for the sacrifice timeline. However, the Science and Technology Research Institute was cautious towards him.
Had he not courted death, the ck shadow behind the Science and Technology Research Institute would likely have asserted that they wouldn¡¯t have taken any action against him.
Through that timeline, he understood a principle.
The unknown warranted caution.
The owner of the fog obviously thought so too.
Now that it was in the dark, the more domineering it was towards the Dark God Sect, the more cautious the faction behind the Dark God Sect would be.
After all, they didn¡¯t know how strong the owner of the fog was.
Reality was not a novel.
The various factions lurked in the shadows. No viins would dispatch their forces to eliminate the protagonist when their schemes were disrupted.
At this time, the wisest thing to do was to obtain intelligence.
Without knowing who their opponents were, boorish actions could have a series of unbearable consequences.
These domain factions that had infiltrated human civilization were not fools.
Their objective was to strategize for the future.
In the grand scheme, many minor challenges encountered during development would not be approached impulsively.
Feng Qi had experienced this in many timelines.
The ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute was the most cautious. They even took the initiative to retreat in the face of his provocations.
The owner of the fog was a master at concealment.
If Feng Qi hadn¡¯t learned the truth after 1500 years, he wouldn¡¯t think that there was anything wrong with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The instant he witnessed the owner of the fog snapping his fingers with his own eyes, he realized the extent of this guy¡¯s hidden prowess.
He did not have much contact with the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, it was evidently an extremely dishonorable faction. Otherwise, Former Days City would have undergone a significant transformation.
All the domain factions had one thing inmon.
They would opt for concealment when possible and refrain from acting recklessly.
The only exception was the blue-skinned creatures.
Through the authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had found many traces of this mysterious faction.
However, all of them were written records without any pictures or video documentation.
The blue-skinned creatures were undoubtedly a standout presence amidst the waves.
In order to collect miracle items, they were sent all over the world.
Feng Qi had seen at least a hundred blue-skinned assassins killed with his own eyes.
Other than that, the other hidden domain factions had the core concept of ¡°stability¡±.
The more domineering the owner of the fog appeared in Star City, the more it could serve as a warning to the Spiritual Energy Race who did not understand it.
It made the Spiritual Energy Race realize that there were other factions in Star City and choose to retreat.
However, there was still a question in his heart that he could not answer.
He wanted to know who the Dark God who was harvesting the power of faith through the Dark God Sect was.
ording to the narration, after he killed the life form in the Dark God statue 1500 yearster, the Dark God would be erased from the timeline.
Why did the Dark God still exist in this timeline?
He had two guesses about this.
Firstly, the Dark God in this timeline had been reced by a neer. This was also the reason why the statue he saw had many different details.
Secondly, he had only absorbed a portion of the Dark God¡¯s life force after killing the life form in the goat-headed demon statue.
He decided to continue the investigation into the truth.
Only by investigating the information could he strike in the other timelines.
Especially with the Miracle Bracelet, he might gain ess to the various abilities from the main timeline through the bracelet in other timelines.
For example, Purple Soul, Blood Source, Evil Thoughts, and so on.
If the Miracle Bracelet could transmit power across space and time, as long as the information was clear, other timelines could thoroughly investigate additional information through targeted attacks..

Star City.
It waste at night, but Star City was still brightly lit.
The owner of the fog and Feng Qi were shrouded in ck robes as they walked on the street leading to Armageddon.
Feng Qi was no stranger to this bar.
Back then, the owner of the fog had obtained the information here and lured the members of the Night Shadow Race.
In the end, it sessfully infiltrated the Night Shadow Race and controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s follow-up n.
When they arrived at the alley, Feng Qi stopped.
¡°I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡±
¡°It won¡¯t take long.¡±
As it spoke, the owner of the fog walked straight to the neon sign at the end of the darkness.
After watching the owner of the fog disappear into the darkness, Feng Qi stood on the spot and waited for it to return.
Before officially conquering the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City, the owner of the fog decided to do something.
Currently, apart from the human factions, there were also arge number of members of the weaker race alliance in Star City.
Their existence did not affect the owner of the fog¡¯s n to promote Flesh Sacrifice.
It could even help to promote it.
When Flesh Sacrifice was promoted in Star City, these domain creatures lurking in Star City woulde into contact with it and try to cultivate it.
However, the situation in this timeline was different.
In addition to promoting Flesh Sacrifice, the owner of the fog also wanted to obtain the power of human faith in this timeline.
At this moment, it was important to suppress the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch.
It had to eliminate this force before it developed.
The faith in gods and the faith in heroes were inherently conflicting.
It was not difficult for the owner of the fog, who controlled most of the media in Star City, to suppress the Dark God Sect.
However, it had to deal with a potential hidden danger first.
ording to the owner of the fog¡¯s analysis, if the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch was suppressed, the faction backing it would be wary and respond in a specific way.
Facing an unknown power, the power behind the Dark God Sect would not force it.
The best option was to investigate the unknown enemies.
Only by investigating the details could the owner of the fog decide if it should retreat or take the initiative to attack.
Intelligence was especially important at this time.
If the faction behind the Dark God Sect wanted to obtain information in Star City, the best choice was through the weak race alliance in Star City.
The members of the weak race alliance were a group of ouws.
As long as the price was right, they would risk their lives to investigate.
Even if the faction that needed to be investigated was the Tiger Soul Research Institute, they were willing to take the risk in exchange for a high return.
The owner of the fog believed that if it were the force behind the Dark God Sect, it wouldn¡¯t readily abandon the prospect of a substantial number of believers in Star City. Even if it meant paying a significant cost, it needed to ascertain which faction was targeting it from the shadows.
Investigating the unknown enemy forces would also help it n for the future.
This was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone.
The weak race alliance lurking in Star City would undoubtedly be an obstacle to the n to suppress the Dark God Sect.
Before it decided to suppress the Dark God Sect, it would first intimidate the weak race alliance in Star City.
In the words of the owner of the fog: In the domain world, the strong dominated the weak. Strength justified reason.
Attempting to subdue someone with virtue would only lead to despair. The only effective approach was to use force, making others fearful and submissive.
It was impossible to exterminate the members of the weak race alliance.
They were akin to weeds, frail and inconspicuous, yet remarkably tenacious. They weren¡¯t easily eradicated.
At this moment, there was only one way to intimidate them.
At this moment, the owner of the fog, who was wrapped in a ck robe, arrived in front of the Armageddon bar.
It walked straight in.
After traversing the dimly lit passageway for over 32 feet, it arrived in front of an iron door.
Unlikest time, it did not knock on the door.
It reached out and pressed its hand against the iron door. Immediately, a surging gray fog surged out of its palm and wrapped around the iron door.
The iron door, crafted from an unidentified metal, melted at a noticeable pace, unveiling a burly man with a startled expression behind it.
Sensing the nefarious intentions of the owner of the fog, the 6-foot-tall guard promptly took a few steps back.
However, he did not take the initiative to attack.
Crossing the melted iron door, the owner of the fog reached out and waved at the burly man who was still moving back.
Immediately, the gray fog surged out and enveloped him.
A miserable scream sounded.
In the blink of an eye, the burly man was devoured by the gray fog. The blood in his body fused into the fog.
The screams also attracted the attention of the weak race warriors in the bar.
They all turned to look at the entrance of the bar.
When they saw the owner of the fog, they were surprised.
¡°Hey, friend, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± The alluring woman at the bar counter retorted with a cold tone.
¡°From now on, I¡¯ve assumed control of Star City. If you want to continue running your alliance, all the missions you undertake in the future must be reported to me. Don¡¯t overlook a single one.¡±
As it spoke, the owner of the fog raised its head, revealing a face wrapped in gray fog under the ck robe.
A ferocious smile appeared in the gray fog, filled with intimidation.
It was obvious that it was here to cause trouble. The alluring woman in charge of the alliance branch had an uncertain expression.
The other domain creatures in the bar also revealed ferocious expressions.
They were all ouws.
How could they submit just because of a few harsh words? Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have forsaken their race and opted to conceal themselves in Star City, working towards the future of their race..

However, no one took the initiative to attack at this moment.
They all waited for others to test the waters. If they were the first to make a move, they might not even know how they met their end.
At this moment, the alluring woman in charge of the branch said warily. ¡°Friend, which faction do you belong to? Let¡¯s mind our own business and stay in our respectivenes. There¡¯s no need for this, right?¡±
¡°You want to investigate my background? You¡¯re not qualified yet.¡±
AS it spoke, the owner of the fog took a step forward. At this moment, the gray fog spread behind it and sealed its path.
It looked at the domain creatures in the bar again and sneered.
¡°Let¡¯s y a game. Next, I¡¯ll start a massacre and only a third of you will survive. Then¡ you¡¯ll struggle to survive.¡±
As soon as it finished speaking, gray fog surged out of the owner of the fog and swept towards the domain creatures in the bar.
Facing the owner of the fog¡¯s ambush, the domain creatures were stunned.
They didn¡¯t expect the owner of the fog to be so vicious.
Caught off guard, several domain creatures were enveloped by the gray fog. Under the horrifying corrosion of the gray fog, their flesh and blood disintegrated at a visible speed. Even their bones melted in the blink of an eye. They transformed into spheres of blood-colored fog and were drawn into the gray fog.
This scene terrified the other domain creatures.
In the face of the owner of the fog¡¯s massacre, the resistance soon began. More than 10 domain creatures gathered and attacked the owner of the fog. controlling the Spiritual Qi in the air, several purple energy arrows quickly condensed and shot towards the owner of the fog.
At this moment, the owner of the fog raised its hand.
The surging gray fog formed a barrier in front of it. The purple energy arrows it the gray fog barrier and caused ripples, melting the arrows until they disappeared.
Looking at the terrified members of the weak race alliance, the owner of the fog smiled sinisterly.
At this moment, the gray fog continued to expand, blocking off the other pathways of the bar. Soon, the entire bar was engulfed by the gray fog.
The bloody massacre began.
In the eyes of the owner of the fog, the members of the weak race alliance were merely scapegoats.
If it wanted to leave asting impression on them, there was no other option. It had to be ruthless.
The bar swiftly turned into the feast of the owner of the fog.
Spheres of bloody fog surged into the gray fog, merging into aponent of the owner of the fog¡¯s power.
The massacrested for half an hour.
When only one-third of the domain creatures were left, the owner of the fog stopped.????
&
¡°Congrattions on surviving.¡±
Hearing this, the domain creatures could not hide their fear.
The power exhibited by the owner of the fog instilled in them the dread of impending death. In this moment, lingering fears gripped them.
They heard from the owner of the fog that they had survived and the strong sense of disparity deepened their fear of the owner of the fog.
The owner of the fog had seeded in manipting their emotions.
At this moment, the owner of the fog waved its hand and retracted the gray fog into its body. Then, it looked at the person in charge of the weak race alliance and said.
¡°Remember what I said. There won¡¯t be a second chance. You can contact me using this method in the future.¡±
AS it spoke, the owner of the fog reached into its pocket and took out a business card. It slowly walked to the counter, put down the business card, and pushed it m front of the terrified woman.
A brilliant smile appeared on its face.
With that, it turned around and walked to the exit.
Standing at the door, it turned around and looked at the domain creatures in the bar.
The domain creatures that were swept by its gaze lowered their heads.
Thew of survival of the fittest was vividly demonstrated at this moment When the weak faced the strong, they had only two choices: resist or submit. However, resistance often led to death or even extermination.
¡°Remember what I told you. I will be in control of Star City from now on. All your actions must be reported to me¡ Of course, I will also bring you benefits.¡± With that, the owner of the fog walked out of the bar without looking back. The initial deterrence had been achieved, but it knew that it was not so simple to control the weak race alliance.
It walked along the dark alley and arrived in front of Feng Qi, who had been waiting outside for a long time.
¡°Are you done acting?¡± Feng Qi asked.
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll keep up the act at the next stop and indulge in some snacks.¡± The gray og dissipated at that moment, revealing a confident smile on the face of the owner of the fog.
As it spoke, the owner of the fog took the lead and walked towards the next destination.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed.
It waste at night. Walking side by side on the deserted street, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°Fog, I¡¯m curious. How much strength can you absorb from an enemy that you¡¯ve refined into a blood mist and consumed?¡±
Faced with the question, the owner of the fog pondered for a moment and said. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Strength and bloodline strength are entirely different.¡± ¡°Theposition of strength is divided into many elements. For instance bloodline strength impacts the body¡¯s strength, the quality of Spiritual Qi in the body influences spell power, and the structure of spells also affects power Hence, the makeup of strength is influenced by numerous factors.¡±
¡°I can only absorb blood and Qi. I obviously can¡¯t absorb other factors that increase my strength, so I can answer your question from another angle.¡± ¡°For example, some creatures are exceptionally powerful, but they lean more towards engaging in battles with spells. Their strength lies in their mental power and the quality of their Spiritual Qi, but their bloodline is weak. I can¡¯t extract much blood essence after absorbing it.¡±
¡°Inparison, I prefer enemies who are more inclined to physical enhancement. The rich blood and Qi in their bodies are a great nourishment for me..¡±

After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi came to a realization and continued to ask.
¡°How much of the victim¡¯s bloodline strength can you absorb?¡±
¡°It depends on the situation. The process of absorbing blood and Qi needs to be refined first. During this period, there will be arge amount of blood and Qi energy that is not easy for me to absorb, or there may be a loss of impurities. The second step is to purify blood and Qi energy and increase their quality. During this period, a portion of them will be lost.¡±
¡°Every creature¡¯s blood and Qi quality is different. Some domain creatures have very few blood and Qi impurities and are of extremely high quality. I only need to deal with them briefly to absorb them. The absorption and conversion rate will be very high.¡±
¡°I divided the prey into five levels ording to the bloodline strength, the impurities in the blood, and the quality of the blood. They are Blood Sustenance, Blood Prey, Blood Soul, Blood Spring, and Blood Source.¡±
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood.
¡°What level does the blood of the super domain creature we encountered in the old canyon fall under?¡±
¡°It¡¯s between Blood Soul and Blood Spring. That creature was able to traverse the void physically. The strength of the blood and Qi in its body is extremely high. It¡¯s a great nourishment for me.¡±
Speaking of super domain creatures, the owner of the fog looked nostalgic.
¡°Super domain creatures are only between the Blood Soul and Blood Spring? What kind of life forms will be between the Blood Spring and the Blood Source then?¡±
Faced with this question, the owner of the fog couldn¡¯t help but shake its head.
¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. After all, I¡¯ve never consumed one before. I didn¡¯t establish the evaluation criteria for blood and Qi. It¡¯s an ancestral method of my Fog Race to evaluate the quality of blood and Qi.¡±
¡°It¡¯s said that my ancestor once absorbed a drop of blood from the Pir Gods and extracted supreme power from it. The rise of our race is also rted to that drop of blood. It contains arge amount of knowledge and has raised the potential of our race to another level.¡±
¡°So you¡¯re saying that your race was once highly illustrious?¡±
¡°Indeed, ording to the elders, our race once dominated 12 domain worlds near our territory at our zenith. We enved numerous weaker domain races to extract resources and cultivated a significant number of smaller races with exceptional blood as a source of sustenance.¡±
This was the first time Feng Qi understood the past of the Fog Race, so he continued to ask.
¡°Then why has your race fallen from grace?¡±
¡°No formidable race can remain unyielding forever in a world where the strong prey on the weak. Unless you ascend to be the Pir Gods who reign supreme over all living beings, there will always be mightier adversaries challenging your dominion. The foundation of my Fog Race has been eroded through sessive trials. When I assumed the leadership, my race had withdrawn from the domain field and no longer enjoyed the same glory as before.¡±
After hearing the owner of the fog¡¯s exnation, he nodded in realization.
¡°I see¡ I have another question: Since the Pir Gods are so powerful, where did your ancestors obtain a drop of their blood?¡±
The owner of the fog looked embarrassed.
After some thought, it said.
¡°At that time, my ancestor was a low-level ve of a formidable race. It was tasked with digging spiritual mines in a dark underground mine. Eventually, it unearthed a peculiar rock with an unusual shape. On it, there was a dried drop of blood that hadsted for countless years.¡±
¡°And?¡±
¡°My ancestor was enticed by it. It set aside the pickaxe, licked the drop, and grew stronger. From that moment on, it embarked on its legendary journey.¡± ¡°Hahaha, I did not expect that.¡±
¡°What else did you expect? The weak have a lower starting point than the strong. If you want to catch up, it takes several generations of hard work. It¡¯s impossible to rely solely on your own efforts for cultivation. Of course, you have to depend on fortuitous encounters.¡± The owner of the fog couldn¡¯t help but roll its eyes..

Chapter 519: Crisis Approaches (1)

In the next few days.
Feng Qi joined the owner of the fog in executing a ruthless suppression of the weak race alliance stationed in Star City.
It did this mainly to express its intentions to the weak race alliance in Star City.
There were powerful forces in Star City.
In the future, the missions of the weak race alliance had to be approved. They could not do anything on their own.
This was very effective.
The individual in charge of the weak race alliance in Star City took the initiative to contact the owner of the fog through the contact information it left behind.
They didn¡¯t know the identity of the owner of the fog and the faction behind it.
However, the bloody purge over the past few days had made them realize that if they did not cooperate, the weak race alliance in Star City would not be able to work in the future.
This was an uneptable loss for the factions behind the weak race alliance.
The decision to initiate contact was within the control of the owner of the fog.
The owner of the fog met the higher-ups of Star City¡¯s weak race alliance and used Flesh Sacrifice to manipte them.
Thus, the weak race alliance in Star City was controlled by the owner of the fog.
The only regret was that the weak race alliance could not bepletely used.
After all, this force was in a state of disunity.
Without the corresponding benefits, many weaker warriors would rather leave Star City than submit.
What the owner of the fog could do now was to control their intelligencework and ensure that no rted missions and intelligence that were disadvantageous to it would appear.
It could not interfere in other aspects.
In order to maintain stability, it promised the higher-ups of the weak race alliance to regrly provide a certain amount of spiritual resources to support their development.
After removing the hidden danger of the weak race alliance, the owner of the fog chose to enter seclusion again.
During this period, Feng Qi was fully in charge of all matters in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Three monthster.
When the owner of the fog came out of seclusion again, it decided to officiallyunch a n to suppress the Dark God Sect.
Under its control, the media in Star City began to report negatively about the Dark God Sect.
It didn¡¯t matter if that was the case or not.
The crucial aspect was to persuade the news watchers that such a thing existed.
For example, the Dark God Sect brainwashed its believers, and the Dark God Sect was suspected to be controlled by a domain faction.
The preliminary report did incur the anger of many citizens in Star City.
However, due to insufficient evidence, many citizens were still skeptical of the report.
But to the owner of the fog, it was enough as long as some of them believed it.
Next, it started steering public opinion to heighten the Star City citizens¡¯ attention towards the Dark God Sect.
Then, it used online public opinion to create conflict.
This step was very sessful. Under the instigation of public opinion, some angry citizens grouped up and entered the Dark God Sect to wreak havoc.
During this period, the Dark God Sect was also thrust into the spotlight.
The subsequent negative news hindered the development of the Dark God Sect.
Former Days City, West District.
Dark God Sect¡¯s headquarters, Core Area.
Under the Dark God statue that was more than 65 feet tall, a group of figures wearing white bone masks were talking.
The topic of conversation was rted to the limited development of the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City.
At this moment, a pitch-ck figure appeared beside them.
Seeing this pitch-ck figure, the figure in the lead immediately stopped talking and looked at it.
¡°How¡¯s the investigation going?¡± The ck shadow asked at this moment.
In the face of the question, the figure wearing the white bone mask immediately said in a low voice.
¡°We don¡¯t have an intelligence organization in Star City. We can only entrust the weak race alliance to investigate the forces behind this incident. However, five days after the mission was issued, the weak race alliance in Star City still hasn¡¯t replied.¡±
Upon hearing this, the ck shadow pondered for a moment and said.
¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, something big must have happened in Star City recently. The weak race alliance in Star City has been controlled by a hidden new faction. It¡¯s no longer possible to investigate through the weak race alliance.¡±
¡°Spiritual Venerable, which force do you think is obstructing the development of our n?¡±
¡°We can roughly guess the situation on the surface. There are only a few forces in Star City that control the influence of public opinion. First, there¡¯s the Star City Military, the Star City Supreme Council, the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and the Scarlet Research Institute.¡±
¡°The Star City Supreme Council isposed of the heads of many institutions. We can first rule out the possibility that this is not apletely unified force.¡±
¡°Secondly, we can exclude the Scarlet Research Institute. This mysterious organization has very little contact with the outside world and few opportunities to interact with the media. It doesn¡¯t have the ability to control public opinion.¡±
¡°Only the Star City Military and the Tiger Soul Research Institute are left.¡±
¡°It¡¯s easy to determine which it is. Let¡¯s see which media is the first tounch a public opinion attack. We can follow the clues and find out which faction is behind the media.¡±
¡°Which one is it?¡± The figure wearing a white bone mask immediately asked.
¡°The Tiger Soul Research Institute!¡±
¡°The first tounch a public opinion attack is the glorious news of Star City. The core section of this media organization is the integration of information on cultivation techniques. The only organization with the most authority is the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
¡°Of course, we can¡¯t rule out the possibility that this is the faction concealed within Star City attempting to mislead us.¡±
¡°In short, our current information is limited. Acting hastily is risky, even if we identify the enemy¡¯s faction, as we can only ess surface-level information. The true extent of the enemy¡¯s hidden strength remains unknown..¡±

Chapter 520: Crisis Approaches (2)

Upon hearing this, the figure wearing the white bone mask hesitated.
¡°Spiritual Venerable, you mean¡ we should temporarily give up on the development of Star City?¡±
¡°If you¡¯re up for the challenge, I won¡¯t stand in your way. But be aware, our support won¡¯t be extended to your Dark God Race. It¡¯s just one aspect of our broader n for the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s future. Even without your involvement, we¡¯ll back a new faction.¡±
Hearing this, the figure wearing the white bone mask was instantly speechless.
Looking at the ck shadow, it gaped and finally lowered its head respectfully.
¡°Spiritual Venerable, our Dark God Race will follow your instructions as a subsidiary faction of the Spiritual Energy Race.¡±
The ck shadow did not answer. At this moment, it slowly faded and finally disappeared.
After the Spiritual Energy Race member left, a hint of scarlet appeared in the eyes of the figure wearing the white bone mask.
The more it understood about the Spiritual Energy Race, the more its heart palpitated.
In the future ns of the Spiritual Energy Race, there was a segment that needed to nurture five powerful subsidiary factions.
Originally, the Dark God Race were not qualified to be one of the five subsidiary factions of the Spiritual Energy Race and obtain the resources of the Spiritual Energy Race.
Everything was a coincidence.
It learned from the Spiritual Venerable.
At that time, the Spiritual Energy Race had a list of factions they were prepared to rope in. They were to choose five domain factions with the greatest potential and focus on nurturing them.
One of the factions was called the Fog Race.
This faction was ranked first on the list.
However, before the Spiritual Energy Race could rope in and support them, the domain field where the Fog Race was located disintegrated, and the members of the Fog Race disappeared.
Therefore, there was a vacancy on the list.
In the end, the Dark God Race sessfully ascended.
It was also with the strong support of the Spiritual Energy Race that their Dark God Race could develop so quickly.
It had a grudge against the orders of Spiritual Venerable, but it didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud.
The figure wearing the white bone mask looked up at the Dark God statue standing in front of it.
Not long ago, their Dark God Race was iparably powerful.
A faction like the Spiritual Energy Race was not even worthy of being enved by the Dark God Race.
But that was in the past.
It knew that the Spiritual Energy Race had an ulterior motive for supporting them.
Opting to coborate with them was akin to courting danger. It was like asking a tiger for its skin, with the looming threat of extermination.
However, the greater the risk, the greater the benefits.
It was also using the medium created by the Spiritual Energy Race to quickly develop the Dark God Race.
As long as the number of people who believed in the Dark Gods reached a certain number, it could establish a spiritual connection with all the believers and instill special power into them.
It would transform the believers into their new nsmen bit by bit.
If this n seeded, the future of the Dark God Race would have infinite hope.
The resurgence of the Dark God Kingdom, as chronicled in ancient texts, could be a reality with the boundless power of faith and the influx of a substantial number of new nsmen.
At that time, it could lead its nsmen to escape the control of the Spiritual Energy Race.
It could even enve the Spiritual Energy Race.
However, when it thought about how the development of the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City was hindered, it could not help but have a headache.
If their n to develop faith could not keep up with the development of the Spiritual Energy Race, the Dark God Race would most likely be excluded from the support list.
After all, the Spiritual Energy Race had yet to decide on the five factions they wanted to nurture.
It was not impossible for variables to appear midway.
Without the support of the Spiritual Energy Race, the development of the Dark God Race would be greatly hindered.
At the thought of this, a hint of ferocity shed in its eyes under the white bone mask.
There were only two choices in front of it.
Firstly, it had to await an investigative response from the Spiritual Energy Race, but the duration of this wait was uncertain. In truth, the Spiritual Energy Race showed little concern for this matter.
Secondly, he had to personally undertake the risk of investigation, which was perilous. There was a substantial chance of inadvertently provoking an undesired faction, potentially bringing cmity to the Dark God Race.
The Spiritual Energy Race had also said that it was fine if they were to investigate, but they had to bear the consequences.
On one side was the unknown waiting, and on the other was the risky investigation.
After hesitating for a while, it could not help but clench its fists.
It was worried about leaving its fate in the hands of others.
Having already ced its bet on the gambling table, it was determined to see the gamble through to its conclusion.
This was the only way to maximize the benefits.
There were only two oues: Sess or failure.
A monthter.
Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
The owner of the fog flipped through the mission list sent by the weak race alliance and nodded in satisfaction.
Just as it had expected.
After the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City was suppressed, the faction behind the Dark God Sect wanted to investigate the owner of the fog through the weak race alliance.
To date, more than 100 investigation missions had been undertaken against it.
However, it had sessfully intercepted these missions. The forces behind the Dark God Sect in Former Days City could not obtain any intelligence at all.
It felt that the faction behind the Dark God Sect might be able to guess which faction in Star City it controlled.
But they knew nothing about it.
This was the effect it wanted to achieve.
Half-illusory and half-real, it embodied a truly unsettling and fearsome nature.
As long as the Spiritual Energy Race was not rash, they would notunch a counterattack.
As anticipated, the reality aligned with its expectations. Currently, the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch in Star City disyed clear indications of initiating evacuation.
At this thought, it looked up at Feng Qi, who was sitting not far away.
Now that the hidden danger of the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch was about to be eliminated, the most important part of the subsequent n was to help Feng Qi continue to create a persona and turn him into people¡¯s faith.
Half a yearter.
The second round of the Flesh Sacrifice evaluation was sessfully passed.
Moreover, they received a unanimous ¡°perfect¡± evaluation. The public opinion was in an uproar.
Feng Qi also relied on the sess of Flesh Sacrifice to establish his status as the founder of cultivation in the new era.
Today, his second hero statue was unveiled in Star City¡¯s Central Park, and his poprity rose to a new height.
After attending the unveiling ceremony, Feng Qi got into the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s car and prepared to return to the headquarters.
Along the way, he sighed inwardly.
The owner of the fog¡¯s n had undoubtedly seeded.
At this stage, he surpassed ¡°Lin Ran¡± and became the hottest celebrity in Star City and the surrounding cities. His reputation also overshadowed Mu Qing, who was rapidly rising on the front line.
During this period, the owner of the fog used the authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to modify the content of the textbooks in Star City¡¯s middle and primary schools.
It was to help him continue to rise in poprity until he became a legend.
The results were apparent.
During the unveiling ceremony of the statue in Central Park just now, many children came to deliver flowers.
He had clearly be the hero of the young generation in Star City.
What surprised him was that he managed to absorb a trace of the power of faith from these children.
This suggested that by proceeding methodically, the actualization of harvesting flesh, blood, and faith was inevitable.
Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh at how terrifying the owner of the fog was.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s military vehicle left the congested road and turned into a secluded path heading to the headquarters.
At that moment, Feng Qi, seated in the car, suddenly experienced a profound sensation of weightlessness.
Immediately after that, the world spun, and the car continued to flip and bump.
Boom!
The military vehicle collided with the old locust tree by the road and stopped.
Realizing that he had been attacked, Feng Qi pressed the emergency device beside him that was used to contact the headquarters.
At this moment, an arm burning with dark green mes pierced the car door made of special metal and sent the entire car door flying.
Seeing this, Feng Qi was about to rush out.
The arm burning with dark green mes instantly grabbed his neck and pulled him out of the car.
At this moment, he saw the scene outside clearly.
In front of him was a man wearing a white bone mask with a pair of goat horns and enveloped in dark green mes.
Its skin was gray and its body was branded with many ck patterns. It looked a little simr to the goat-headed demon, but there were many differences.
However, he was extremely familiar with the dark green mes.
This was the color of the mes controlled by the goat-headed demon.
After he unleashed the upgraded Blood Source form, simr mes ignited on the surface of his body, but the color was in a darker shade of green.
Behind the individual in the white bone mask were three others with a simr appearance.
At this moment, the chauffeur climbed out of the car. He was well-trained and decisively counterattacked.
However, before he could approach, he was ignited by the dark green mes that shot over from the side. His body turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Feng Qi decisively counterattacked.
But just as he was about to trigger the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal, a palm enveloped in dark green mes pressed down on his head.
The mes followed his breathing and entered his nostrils, spreading into his body.
An irresistible drowsiness surged over him.
He attempted resistance, but after a brief struggle, he weakly bowed his head..

After an unknown period.
Feng Qi slowly woke up and realized that he was curled up.
Attempting to stretch his body, he soon discovered that it was restrained and incapable of any movement.
The points where his limbs made contact had a chilling metal texture, reminiscent of being enclosed in a metallic container.
Listening carefully, he could hear the sound of an engine roaring outside.
He wasn¡¯t sure if he was on a transport vehicle or a ne.
However, he felt that he had left Star City.
Otherwise, after he pressed the rm, the owner of the fog would havee to rescue him.
As for the mysterious faction that kidnapped him, he had a rough guess.
The body of the kidnapper was simr to the goat-headed demon. He recalled the statue that the goat-headed demon worshiped.
This enigmatic force was evidently the driving power behind the Dark God Sect.
However, he did not understand why the Dark God Sect could find him and confirm that he was one of the masterminds behind the destruction of the Dark God Sect¡¯s branch.
The owner of the fog was prepared for the possible actions of the forces behind the Dark God Sect.
First, it was regarding the integration of the weak race alliance in Star City. It was impossible for the faction behind the Dark God Sect to obtain any information from a weak domain race.
All investigation missions were cut off by the owner of the fog before they were released.
This step of the n was sessful.
The only route for Former Days City to obtain information in Star City had been cut off.
Even if the factions in Former Days City were restless and eager to investigate Star City, they would struggle to uncover any valuable information.
After all, from the beginning to the end, the owner of the fog and he had not revealed their identities.
Even the higher-ups of the weak race alliance did not know the true identity of the owner of the fog.
More importantly, the owner of the fog was certain that the forces in Former Days City would not act rashly before obtaining effective information.
Even if they were to act rashly, its spies in Star City could quickly detect their tracks.
Multiple insurances guaranteed their safety at this stage.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi became even more puzzled.
He did not understand how the faction behind the Dark God Sect had locked onto him.
There were slight bumps from time to time in the almost enclosed space.
After an unknown period, the feeling of weightlessness hit him. The roar of the engine slowly stopped.
He sensed the metal box he was confined in being lifted, and the jolting sensation of ascending and descending engulfed him.
About half an hourter, he heard the sound of metal springs colliding from inside the box. Right on the heels of that, a strong light hit him, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The blurry figure in front of him gradually became clearer.
Standing in front of him was a tall figure wearing a goat-headed white bone mask and covered in ck runes.
¡°Get up.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he slowly stood up from the metal box.
Looking around, he saw the tall Dark God statue erected in the distance.
Compared to the statue in his memory, this statue looked different, but it was clearly rted.
¡°Why did you kidnap me?¡± He turned to look at the masked man in the lead.
¡°When you chose to target us, you should have known that this day woulde, the masked man said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Feng Qi confirmed his guess.
The faction behind the Dark God Sect had seen through their n.
However, he still did not understand where the Dark God Sect had obtained the information from.
Thinking of this, he calmly nodded and asked.
¡°Can you exin to me how you¡¯re so sure that I¡¯m the mastermind behind the n against the Dark God Sect?¡±
Faced with the question, the masked man thought for a moment and said.
¡°Let¡¯s exchange information. I¡¯ll answer some of your questions, but I hope you will cooperate with me as well.¡±
¡°As a show of sincerity, I will answer your questions first.¡±
¡°As for how we identified you as the mastermind, it¡¯s purely a coincidence.
We¡¯ve been conducting investigations in Star City for several months, yet we¡¯ve refrained from engaging with the weak race alliance there out of fear. We were concerned that our presence might be detected, limiting our information and impeding an effective investigation.¡±
I think so too. If your investigation wasn¡¯t carried out secretly, I would have obtained relevant information.¡± Feng Qi immediately nodded and continued.
¡°So what¡¯s this coincidence you¡¯re talking about?¡±
Faced with the question, the masked man didn¡¯t hide anything.
¡°During the unveiling of the statue in Star City¡¯s Central Park, a group of children sent you flowers. We realized that you obtained the power of faith from these children.¡±
¡°The power of faith is not easily essible to everyone-it requires an exceptionally unique approach. Observing your ability to absorb this power, we recognized you as a potential adversary and the focal point of our operation.¡±
Hearing the masked man¡¯s answer, Feng Qi was enlightened.
It turned out that the previous n had not gone wrong. The only thing that went wrong was the unveiling of the statue.
This exined why the faction behind the Dark God Sect could lock onto him.
¡°But you don¡¯t know how strong I am. Why did you dare to ambush me in Star
City? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being wiped out?¡±
¡°We engaged in internal deliberations before ambushing you, but we chose to take the risk. The gamble we made concerns the future fate of my race, and I had to take that chance.¡±
The Spiritual Energy Race behind your race lets you take risks like this?¡±
¡°How did you know about the Spiritual Energy Race?¡± The masked man asked in surprise..
Chapter 522 - 522: Fight! (2)
Chapter 522: Fight! (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡öThe Dark God Sect originated in Former Days City. Based on my intelligence, Former Days City is under the influence of the Spiritual Energy Race. Would the Spiritual Energy Race permit an unknown faction to develop and flourish in their vicinity?¡±
-The Spiritual Energy Race doesn¡¯t know about my risky operation, but I¡¯ve sent my nsmen to inform them. 1 believe Spiritual Venerable will arrive soon.¡±
Feng Qi nodded and continued to ask.
¡°What do you want from me?¡±
-I¡¯m curious about you now. The power of faith that we can controles from our ancestor. He was a demigod expert who almost became a Pir God. After he died, his source of life became the core of the power of faith that we collected. What method did you use to collect the power of faith?
Hearing this, Feng Qi realized that the Dark God Sect had not discovered the Miracle Bracelet on him at all.
Moreover, they didn¡¯t know about the owner of the fog.
They didn¡¯t even know about the hidden dangers of Flesh Sacrifice. They thought that Flesh Sacrifice was just a way to collect faith.
While the owner of the fog remained concealed, Feng Qi found himself fully exposed to both the Dark God Race and the Spiritual Energy Race.
He was in a dangerous situation.
After the information was extracted, the Dark God Race would not let him go.
After all, in the eyes of the Dark God Race, he would be an obstacle in collecting faith.
Thinking of this, he shook his head.
¡°So, what are you going to do with me next?
The masked man was about to speak when a ck shadow slowly appeared and solidified beside it.
Crimson eyes appeared in the ck shadow. They looked simr to the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute. Clearly, they were members of the Spiritual Energy Race.
At this moment, the masked man and the nsmen behind him said respectfully to the ck shadow.
¡°Spiritual Venerable.¡±
The Spiritual Energy Race member called Spiritual Venerable did not answer. It stared straight at Feng Qi and said in a hoarse voice.
-There must be other forces supporting you, correct? Provide me with valuable information, and I might let you go.¡±
¡°If I say it, I won¡¯t be able to live.¡± Feng Qi shook his head indifferently.
-Wait, I need to understand you first.¡± As Spiritual Venerable spoke, it closed its eyes.
A red energy line appeared above its head and spread upwards, piercing into
the void.
Next, Feng Qi saw countless energy particles appear from the void and surge into its brain along the energy line.
¡°The Holy Spirit Consciousness Library?¡±
At this moment, the Spiritual Venerable opened its eyes.
¡°Looks like you know my Holy Spirit Race very well, Feng Qi.¡±
¡°Why is there information rted to me in your Holy Spirit Consciousness Library?¡± Feng Qi could not help but ask curiously.
¡°To enhance our knowledge, our Spiritual Energy Race has over a hundred nsmen dedicated to learning. Theymit all essible information from the old research institute to memory and transmit it to the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library. Roughly 80% of this data has been documented, and your information is included,¡± stated the Spiritual Venerable impassively, revealing the truth.
Hearing this, Feng Qi was speechless.
ording to the Spiritual Energy Race member in front of him, the members of the Spiritual Energy Race carried a human science database with them. They could ess the data shared by the various cities at any time.
¡°Feng Qi, it¡¯s time for you to answer my question. Which faction supports you? We aren¡¯t necessarily adversaries. There¡¯s a possibility of us forming an alliance together in the future.¡±
Choosing to tell the truth now was undoubtedly betraying the owner of the fog.
And the owner of the fog was his guarantee that he would be stronger after 1,500 years.
The Spiritual Energy Race member made it sound easy, but Feng Qi did not believe a single word.
The potential n of the owner of the fog would affect the future structure of the world.
If they knew the hidden dangers of Flesh Sacrifice, the Spiritual Energy Race would not let the owner of the fog grow stronger.
The only thing that worried him was¡
If he died here, how would his head be brought back to the Scarlet Research Institute?
It happened so suddenly that he did not bring the Stimnt Syringe with him when he participated in the unveiling ceremony. The Scarlet Rescue Team was still in Star City.
He was in a desperate situation.
He felt that this sacrifice timeline was doomed to fail. Other than giving the information he obtained to the Scarlet Research Institute in advance, the rest of the information would not be able to reach him in the main timeline. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to tell me. I have a way to make the forces behind you take the initiative to step forward,¡± Spiritual Venerable said.
¡°What are you up to?¡±
¡°Promoting Flesh Sacrifice is aimed at aiding you in acquiring the power of faith. It means that you are the key to the future strategy of the faction supporting you. I doubt they¡¯ll give you easily, correct?¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
Spiritual Venerable didn¡¯t answer this time, and its body slowly dissipated on the spot.
At this moment, the masked man standing at the side took a step forward and reached out to grab Feng Qi¡¯s neck.
Surrendering wasn¡¯t in his nature. Just as he was about to resist, a familiar weariness washed over him.
He had just raised his fist when his body drooped weakly.
When Feng Qi woke up again, he found himself locked in a cage made of special metal.
The surroundings were nearly pitch-ck. Above him, small holes allowed slivers of light to filter through.
He tried to break the cage, but even if he triggered the power of the Demon Dragon, he could not shatter the metal wall.
Feng Qi was locked up for a few days.
The Spiritual Energy Race did not kill him because they wanted to catch a big fish. He did not know what the Spiritual Energy Race was up to.
In the next few days, he understood the intentions of the Spiritual Energy
Race..
Chapter 523 - 523: Fight! (3)
Chapter 523: Fight! (3)

The prison door opened, and he was brought to the experiment table outside by the masked man.
He met the members of the Spiritual Energy Race again.
Then, they bound him to the experiment table, and Spiritual Venerable began to modify his body.
The process was painless, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he realized that his body was covered in bandages, even his head.
After a day of rest, Spiritual Venerable removed the bandages.
At that moment, Feng Qi became aware that his appearance had undergone a transformation. Numerous features on his body had also altered.
What Spiritual Venerable said next made him understand their n.
¡°From today onwards, you are a human traitor¡ By the way, you will be publicly executed in the Former Days City¡¯s execution ground in a month.¡±
The Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s n was to change his identity and set him up as a human traitor to be publicly executed.
He did not choose to use his original identity because he was worried that the impact would be too great.
Although Former Days City was under the control of the Spiritual Energy Race, his identity was too special. If the Spiritual Energy Race executed him in Former Days City, they would suffer immense public pressure.
This pressure might evene from the residents of Former Days City.
After all, his current identity was the founder of cultivation in the new era. When the time came, the Alliance Military, the Joint Research Institute, and various forces in other cities woulde out to object and even propose an investigation.
His identity was too sensitive.
Even the Spiritual Energy Race did not dare to execute him rashly.
The most effective strategy to draw out the covert force behind the scenes was to alter his identity. Nheless, the force backing him needed to recognize that he was still ¡°Feng Qi.¡±
In the eyes of the Spiritual Energy Race, he was the core of the future n of the faction behind him.
Once the public execution n was carried out, there were only two choices for the faction behind him.
Firstly, in order to prevent the faith harvesting n from being ruined, he would take the risk of jumping out to save Feng Qi and expose his identity.
- Give up on Feng Qi and let go of the n of harvesting faith.
This maneuver was undeniably an overt strategy.
In the eyes of the Spiritual Energy Race, they would definitely benefit from these two choices.
Just as Feng Qi had expected.
Upon thepletion of the body modification, there was extensive publicity and reporting in Former Days City.
A human traitor who was loyal to a domain faction was captured in Former Days City. His name was Feng Qi. He was captured after infiltrating the Former Days Research Institute.
The public was in an uproar.
Feng Qi was also escorted to the Former Days City¡¯s execution ground in advance and would be punished a monthter.
During this period, he was sent to the execution ground every day to receive the anger of the people.
Feng Qiprehended that this step was evidently taken to facilitate the transmission of news about his captivity to the owner of the fog.
The people who came to throw stones every day would not expect this.
This man who was bound to the execution tform would be the future star of humanity¡ªFeng Qi.
Even if there was only a one-word difference in the name.
Time passed day by day. There were only 10 days left until the execution day.
Looking at the masked man wrapped in metal armor standing beside him, Feng Qi licked his dry lips.
The Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s overt scheme was powerful.
However, they forgot one thing. In the owner of the fog¡¯s future n, faith harvesting was just a side note.
Even if the owner of the fog in Star City lost him, it could still rest easy.
Flesh Sacrifice would still be promoted. It could still stand in the future 1,500 yearster and harvest all living beings.
Therefore, his death was not a loss to the owner of the fog.
Gathering the power of faith was just a supplementary n that the owner of the fog came up with to guide him.
He knew that the owner of the fog valued affection.
After so many years of interaction, the owner of the fog had long treated him as family.
However, he had seen the ruthlessness of the owner of the fog and its extreme calmness when weighing the pros and cons.
At this stage, the owner of the fog was far from being as powerful as the Spiritual Energy Race had imagined. If it rashly came to save him now, it would be equivalent to running into a trap.
Therefore, the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s n failed at the beginning.
The core of the owner of the fog¡¯s n was never him, but itself.
Moreover, the owner of the fog carried the future hopes of countless nsmen who had died in battle.
He believed that the owner of the fog would avenge him, but with his understanding of the owner of the fog, it was absolutely impossible for it toe and save him.
If it acted on impulse, it would not have been able to stand tall 1,500 yearster and be an overlord.
¡°It¡¯s been 21 days and it still isn¡¯t here. If you die, won¡¯t your faith n fail?¡± The masked man standing beside him suddenly asked.
¡°Unfortunately, it looks like I¡¯ve been abandoned¡ Oh right, please bring me some water. I¡¯ve been exposed to the sun for the entire day,¡± Feng Qi said in a rxed tone.
¡°You¡¯re the core of the n. I don¡¯t believe that the faction behind you won¡¯t react at all,¡± the masked man continued. It picked up a water bottle on the table and threw it at Feng Qi.
Catching the water bottle with his mouth, he raised his head and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
After throwing the water bottle back to the masked man, he couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°Your ancestor had a demigod. Logically speaking, its bloodline strength should be far higher than that of the Spiritual Energy Race. Why would you listen to the Spiritual Energy Race?¡±
¡°That was in the past. The glory of our race had long fallen in the struggle for supremacy between the various factions. Now, the Spiritual Energy Race is willing to generously support our race. For the future of our race, I only made the right choice.¡±
¡°There might be a conspiracy behind this support.¡±
When the masked man heard that, he said calmly.
¡°This is a gamble. The winner takes all. I¡¯ve risked the fate of my entire n..¡±

¡°Since I¡¯m about to die, why don¡¯t you tell me about the future ns of the Dark God Race?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for you to know when you¡¯re on the verge of death.¡±
Since he could not find any useful information, Feng Qi did not ask further.
He looked up at the blue sky and knew that this sacrifice timeline had most likely failed.
But at least he wasn¡¯t clueless about the future.
He had sent the general situation to the Scarlet Research Institute through Wei Wei, including some details of this timeline.
However, 1,500 yearster, he would no longer be able to obtain information on this timeline by reading his memories. He would miss many details.
For example, information about the Dark God Sect.
He only knew this information after he was captured. He couldn¡¯t convey it to his other self.
The experience of multiple timelines made him indifferent to death.
Despite the agitated crowd outside the execution tform, he maintained a calm expression, and his heart remained steady.
He did not hate the people who threw stones at him.
The people¡¯s anger stemmed from their love for this world and their desire for a better future.
They were simply blinded.
The owner of the fog had once analyzed the structure of human society with him.
During this period, it said something that left a deep impression on Feng Qi.
It said that understanding the fundamental motivation of Star City citizens would grant it effortless control over them.
Fear, hypocrisy, or a sense of justice were all points that could be controlled.
For example, if it were to control those righteous warriors to fight for them, it only needed to create an imaginary enemy for them. They would be its butcher¡¯s knife for the sake of justice.
After experiencing so many timelines, Feng Qi deeply agreed with the owner of the fog¡¯s words.
Win over the people and manipte the minds of those in power.
This was also the terrifying part of the owner of the fog. It could see many things clearly.
Therefore, he was certain that the owner of the fog would note.
This was because the owner of the fog could see things more clearly than anyone else. It definitely understood what the oue would be if it came to save him.
He even imagined the owner of the fog secretly swearing to avenge him.
As the sky grew darker, he was released from the restraint rack.
The masked man grabbed him and walked towards the cage at the back of the execution ground.
Tomorrow, he would continue to be hung on the execution ground and face the people¡¯s wrath. The Spiritual Energy Race was still looking forward to the appearance of the faction behind the scenes.
Nine dayster.
The day of execution arrived.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly.
In the early morning, Feng Qi was led to the execution grounds. At that moment, he was dressed in prison attire.
The Miracle Bracelet on his right wrist had also been confiscated by the masked man and was now on him.
However, it was obvious that the masked man didn¡¯t know that the bracelet was a miracle item.
He only felt that this item was special.
Back then, the owner of the fog could detect that the bracelet was a miracle item because the humanoid leader of the ck Absolute Domain Field had used the Miracle Bracelet to release a powerful ability.
Under normal circumstances, the Miracle Bracelet looked more like an ornament made of energy crystals.
After arriving at the execution ground, he was pressed down by the masked man and knelt in the middle.
At this moment, there was arge number of forces lying in ambush in the execution ground. The Spiritual Energy Race had invited the forces of the Former Days City¡¯s military to watch the execution.
The inescapable had been set up. They were just waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Looking around, Feng Qi sneered.
The n was perfect, but unfortunately, it was impossible for the owner of the fog toe.
As time passed, more and more Former Days City residents came to watch.
The execution time was approaching. Feng Qi was held down by the masked man in front of the guillotine.
The clock hanging above the execution ground pulsed like a countdown to his life.
The needle advanced, and his life receded.
The fully armed masked man standing behind him raised the guillotine.
Feng Qi¡¯s heart was calm in the face of death.
Thinking about it, he had experienced all kinds of deaths in many timelines.
Especially the execution ground.
Electric chair, beheading, and now a guillotine.
Looking at the angry people, he suddenly felt a littleforted.
My life in this timeline is finallying to an end¡
At that moment, thunder rumbled through the sky, and dark clouds obscured the sun.
A strong wind blew past his face, and he looked up at the sky.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a huge gray fog appeared.
Suddenly, arge gray fog palm descended upon the execution ground.
Seeing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
The masked man raised his hand and swung at the sky.
Boom!
The gray fog palm collided with the dark green mes waved by the masked man, devouring the mes in the blink of an eye.
The gray fog continued to sink, smashing into the execution tform and spreading in all directions.
When the gray fog dissipated, the owner of the fog appeared.
It looked at Feng Qi, who was bound in front of the guillotine, and a sinister smile appeared on its face.
¡°Sorry for beingte. I spent the past month in seclusion, focusing on boosting my strength. Now, I¡¯m here to take you home.¡±
¡°Why did youe?!¡± Feng Qi said in disbelief.
¡°I lost all my family and it¡¯s toote for regrets. Now, you¡¯re my only family.¡±
¡°You¡¯re nuts!¡±
¡°Hahaha, I said that you will have a ce beside me when I reach the peak in the future. This is my promise to you. Our path has just begun and we will not fall here.¡±
Looking at the figures gathering around it, the owner of the fog turned into the gray fog again.
The gray fog swiftly expanded. In an instant, it transformed into a 300-foot fog giant, gazing down upon all living beings.
¡°Fight me!¡±
Chapter 525 - 525: Final Farewell (1)
Chapter 525: Final Farewell (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In the sky above the execution ground.
The gray fog surged, and a storm gathered. Amid the lightning and thunder, a huge fog face appeared.
¡°Fight me!¡±
At this moment, the masked man in armorunched an attack. Dark green mes erupted from the crevices of the armor, engulfing its entire body.
It pointed at the sky with one hand, and the mes on its body instantly erupted into a vortex that swept into the sky.
Dark green mes gathered and filled the sky, formingyers of me ripples that charged skyward.
The arm condensed by the gray fog also pressed down at this moment.
The gray fog collided with the dark green mes, and the two energies devoured and canceled each other out.
A terrifying power brewed in the air, setting off ripples of shock waves that sted away the huge group of people standing outside the execution ground.
At this moment, the military soldiers made their move.
A ck sword appeared out of nowhere and blocked the shock wave for the people.
People in military uniforms from Former Days City started organizing the citizens for evacuation.
At this moment, the shing energies in the sky had reached its peak. A sinister smile appeared on the foggy face.
The gray fog suddenly pressed down, tearing a gap in the sea of dark green mes.
Boom!
Like a sudden p of thunder, the sky trembled.
The sea of dark green mes was shattered by the gray fog, and sparks flew everywhere.
The gray fog palm pierced through the sea of mes and grabbed at Feng Qi, who was bound in front of the guillotine with wounds all over his body.
At this moment, a ck sword suddenly blocked the gray fog palm.
Dark light surged on the surface of the ck sword, carrying a ¡°momentum¡± remarkably simr to Lu Yue¡¯s swordy as it swept towards the gray fog palm.
The sword intent collided with the gray fog, and a ferocious expression appeared on the owner of the fog¡¯s face.
The gray fog suddenly pressed down, causing the ck sword to tremble.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind the ck sword. It reached out and grabbed the hilt, suddenly shing forward.
This sword move seemed simple, but the Spiritual Qi in the air gathered and formed a ck sword aura that soared into the sky.
Knowing that the longer this battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be, the owner of the fog made up its mind.
A scarlet light flickered within the gray fog, transforming into a blood-colored long sword that shed with the ck sword energy, effortlessly shattering it.
After destroying the ck sword energy, the blood sword dissipated and fused with the gray fog again.
A blood-colored palm suddenly stretched out from the gray fog and pped the military man away, grabbing at Feng Qi again.
However, dozens of military soldiers had stood in front of Feng Qi.
They realized that the domain transcendent creatures created by the gray fog in the sky were targeting Feng Qi, who was on the verge of execution.
However, they had underestimated the owner of the fog¡¯s strength.
Under the overwhelming pressure, the blood in their bodies uncontrobly surged faster.
Their pupils instantly reddened, and dense blood-colored spider webs emerged on the surface of their bodies.
p!
Consecutive explosions sounded. These military soldiers were killed by the owner of the fog¡¯s blood control ability before they could attack.
At this moment, Spiritual Venerable was hiding in the dark and observing the gray fog giant in the distance with a surprised expression.
Its n seeded. The faction behind Feng Qi had finally appeared.
However, it did not expect the faction to be the Fog Race that had once disappeared.
It was no stranger to this race.
In its impression, the Fog Race was the undisputed strongest faction near the domain field of the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s ancestralnd. It was said that their ancestor had once produced a super expert who had broken free from the shackles of fate.
Before the Spiritual Energy Race entered the human world, they were often bullied by the Fog Race.
Back then, it was still young, but it recalled a saying circted in the n to frighten children.
¡°If you don¡¯t behave, the fog monster will capture you and eat you up!¡±
Looking at the owner of the fog, Spiritual Venerable¡¯s expression became serious.
It was as if it had encountered its natural enemy. The energy in its body boiled uncontrobly.
At this moment, it attacked.
A huge ck arrow appeared out of thin air, stabbing at the chest of the owner of the fog at an extremely fast speed.
The formidable Spiritual Qi was unleashed, swiftly drawing in the particles from the air into the ck arrow.
Caught off guard, the ck arrow burst into an explosion.
The gray fog sea surged violently, and a substantial portion was tom away by the explosion.
At this moment, the fog face revealed a pained expression.
The terrifying particles quickly corroded the gray fog. It sensed many figures hiding in the darkness.
It turned to look to the west.
Under its perception, it saw several life forms with rich blood and Qi approaching.
If it continued to stay here, it would be dragged into a desperate situation.
At this moment, the owner of the fog lowered its head and looked at Feng Qi on the execution tform. A hint of determination appeared in its heart.
Some things were only cherished after they were lost.
Feng Qi was its only family in this world. It no longer wanted to live in the regret and guilt of losing its family.
As it roared, a substantial amount of blood and Qi surged out of the gray fog, staining it into a fog of blood.
Countless blood-colored hands appeared from the blood fog and mmed at the execution ground, trying to break through the defense.
The members of the Spiritual Energy Race hiding in the dark attacked. All kinds of spiritual spells gushed on the giant fog like raindrops.
However, the owner of the fog did not retreat at all.
Looking at Feng Qi, who was bound in front of the guillotine, endless anger surged in its heart.
Memories also surged in its mind.
In the snowy forest of Winterfrost, it had thought that it would die. However, it survived..
Chapter 526 - 526: Final Farewell (2)
Chapter 526: Final Farewell (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
When it opened its eyes, it saw Feng Qi with a warm smile.
That was the first time they met.
From then on, Feng Qi became its only family.
In front of the vige outside Winterfrost, the scene of Feng Qi risking his life to block the Sword Saint¡¯s attack for it was still vivid in its mind.
In the ck Absolute Domain Field, Feng Qi carried it and advanced while bathed in blood under the pursuit of the weak race alliance. Blood blurred his vision as he finally fell under the dusk.
Every time Feng Qi risked his life to save it, it would remind it of its nsmen who had sacrificed themselves for their race.
In the past, it chose to live under the protection of its family.
Because of this, it felt pain, guilt, and regret.
After more than 10 years ofpanionship, it had long regarded Feng Qi as its only family.
This time, it did not want to endure this pain anymore.
Instead of living an ignoble life, it was better to fight to the death.
The blood and Qi stored in its body were released continuously, and the gray
fog turned bloody.
The higher-ups of the military arrived at the location at this moment.
Facing the owner of the fog in the form of the blood giant, they began to attack.
The blood giant continued to copse and reform in the battle. The size of the blood fog began to shrink at a visible speed.
Feng Qi¡¯s vision gradually became blurry as he looked at the owner of the fog fighting with all its might in the sky.
After more than 10 years of interaction, it was impossible not to have feelings
for each other.
However, he didn¡¯t expect the owner of the fog to risk its life to save him.
He understood the owner of the fog very well. He knew that it liked to weigh the pros and cons, and would not attack unless it was confident of winning.
He could already memorize the words that often came out of its mouth.
¡°Ah Qi, you need to grasp one thing. Only a fool engages in direct confrontation. The true power lies in intelligence, creating the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.¡±
¡°I have to say that humans are smart. The things recorded in the ancient books
are the same as my thoughts.¡±
¡°Ah Qi, don¡¯t think like a brute. Strength matters, but it should be yourst resort. Learn to grasp other people¡¯s emotions and thoughts. That¡¯s when you can strategize and emerge victorious.¡±
¡°If I can use my brain, I will never attack¡¡±
The owner of the fog, whose mind was filled with thoughts of relying on its wits to win, chose to fight in the most disdainful way it had ever done.
Just to save Feng Qi from the execution ground.
He did not feel good about it.
I¡¯ve always been using you. Yet, you treat me as family.
How absurd.
Reinforcements continued to pour in, and the owner of the fog steadily weakened.
At this moment, it was not the overlord who stood tall 1,500 yearster, let alonepared to the Spiritual Energy Race that had developed for hundreds of years.
Of course, it was talented and powerful.
However, it was at a disadvantage under the siege.
Just as the Spiritual Energy Race and the military soldiers thought that they could quickly disperse the blood fog and kill the owner of the fog, the blood fog suddenly spread and enveloped the world.
Soon after, the blood fog descended and enveloped everyone who hade to attack.
Facing the blood fog, they tried their best to escape. However, they couldn¡¯t break through the seal.
At this moment, the owner of the fog broke through the blood fog andnded on the execution tform.
Fresh blood dripped from its body onto the execution tform. Its face was filled with a familiar smile as it walked towards Feng Qi step by step.
¡°Ah Qi, let¡¯s go home.¡±
The owner of the fog shattered the metal shackles wrapped around Feng Qi¡¯s body. It bent down and carried thetter, who was covered in injuries. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t havee,¡± Feng Qi suppressed his emotions and said.
¡°I¡¯m already here, so don¡¯t mind me,¡± the fog¡¯s owner said casually, a smile ying on its face.
¡°Let¡¯s go back to Star City.¡± As it spoke, the owner of the fog floated into the air. It looked back at the surging sea of blood in the sky and flew into the distance without hesitation.
As it flew, the owner of the fog¡¯s body began to tremble uncontrobly.
The sea of blood was the source of his life. Even the blood stones had fused into the Blood Sea.
If it gave up on the sea of blood, its life would no longer have any support. As it flew, it kept coughing out blood and Qi, and its face aged at a visible speed.
However, it did not stop. It relied on the remaining blood and Qi in its body to continue flying.
It¡¯s my turn to protect you this time.
Finally, they flew out of Former Days City.
At this moment, the owner of the fog had a head full of white hair, and its face was filled with wrinkles.
Depleted of the strength to fly, it descended from the sky,nding on a hill alongside Feng Qi.
The owner of the fognded heavily on the barren grass. Its body trembled as it struggled to stand up, carrying the powerless Feng Qi on its back again.
One bloody footprint at a time, it walked resolutely into the distance. Sunset and dusk seemed to indicate that the owner of the fog¡¯s life wasing to an end.
Lying on the back of the owner of the fog, Feng Qi¡¯s heart was filled with sorrow.
He could feel that the owner of the fog was exhausted.
This feeling of helplessness made it difficult for him to breathe.
After walking for an unknown period, the owner of the fog copsed to the ground when night fell.
Under the moonlight, the owner of the fog used the remaining strength in its body to move its trembling hands through the soil.
¡°Ah Qi¡ This is the Flesh Cauldron¡¯s trajectory¡ It carries my dream¡ Continue to advance to the peak.¡±
¡°Do it yourself!¡±
¡ö¡öI might be able to restore my life source if it¡¯s shattered¡ But now that I¡¯ve lost it¡ it¡¯s impossible for me to survive¡ Continue on my behalf¡ and admire the scenery at the peak.¡±
As it spoke, tears of blood flowed from the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes.
The owner of the fog, who was once afraid of death, felt a trace offort in its heart..

At least it did not retreat this time.
Sensing the rapidly depleting vitality in its body, many memories surfaced in its mind.
With the future of the Fog Race on its shoulders, the long journey of conquest finally came to an end.
I¡¯ve let down my nsmen. Im sorry¡
Opening its eyes, it looked at Feng Qi with anticipation.
¡°I heard the view from the summit is breathtaking¡ truly liberating¡ free from troubles and sorrow¡ Ah Qi¡¡±
Before it could finish speaking, its voice stopped abruptly.
The mysterious power that could help the owner of the fog revive did not appear this time. All hope was left in the sea of blood.
Feng Qi also fell unconscious at this moment.
Half a yearter.
Outside Former Days City, Dragon Scale Slope.
In front of the tombstone, Feng Qi was eating the offerings with a smile on his face.
¡°Your Fog Race has some peculiar customs. Eating the offerings of the deceased is quite unusual¡ But since you ate minest time, can I consider it as returning the favor this time?¡±
¡°Do you think I¡¯m some kind of jinx, always bringing misfortune to those around me? Consider this: you, the owner of the fog, are a ruler from 1,500 years in the future. Yet, here you are, cursed to death by me in this sacrifice timeline¡¡±
Looking at the tombstone, Feng Qi kept talking.
Memories flooded his mind, and the sand stung his eyes.
Six months ago, after the fog¡¯s owner brought him out of Former Days City, the support team from the Scarlet Research Institute rushed over to provide assistance after tracking their location. In the end, they took both him and the owner of the fog away.
When he woke up, the owner of the fog, who had lost its life source, had already died. Its body was ice-cold.
His situation was also terrible.
The Spiritual Energy Race had modified his body and had no intention of letting him live.
His connection with the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal had been severed, which was equivalent to cutting off his life force.
The Scarlet Research Institute had thought of countless ways to extend his life.
For example, installing a new rune crystal, but this method was too risky.
His body had fused with the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal. The probability of him surviving the collision of the two energies was less than 1%.
As for the other methods, they had also failed.
He needed to inject the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s gic syringes to extend his life every day.
Today, his body was immune to the gic syringes. His life wasing to an end.
After swallowing the food, Feng Qi stood up.
Before he left, he had one more thing to aplish.
Over the years, with the help of the Scarlet Research Institute, he had absorbed arge amount of mottled mental power.
Everything was for today.
Although doing so was impulsive, he did not think that he was in the wrong.
Everyone said that domain creatures were cruel, but he had seen many outstanding qualities in the owner of the fog.
Even if everyone said it wasn¡¯t kind, it treated him well.
He had to acknowledge this rtionship.
This time, he wanted to end this rtionship.
At this moment, the morning fog enveloped the hillside.
Gazing at the morning fog, he couldn¡¯t discern if it was salvation or the abyss.
As he walked through the fog, a crystalline light descended from the fog.
Outside the Former Days City.
Feng Qi stood at the city gate and looked at the towering city walls.
¡°After my body shatters, take my head away.¡±
When the team captain of the Scarlet Research Institute standing behind him heard this, he nodded solemnly.
¡°We¡¯re ready.¡±
At this moment, Feng Qi rxed the suppression of his mental power.
In an instant, cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and his mental body emitted a gorgeous light through the cracks.
His body onlysted for a moment before it was shattered by the mental body.
His flesh and blood disintegrated, and a mental body filled with seven-colored mottled energy appeared.
At this moment, he reached out and grabbed the head that fell. He threw it to the members of the Scarlet Research Institute standing behind him.
He turned around and looked at Former Days City again. His body suddenly floated into the air.
He was going to retrieve the Miracle Bracelet now.
This was the only gift from the owner of the fog, and it was also hisst farewell to the owner of the fog.
When Feng Qi¡¯s mental body appeared in the sky above Former Days City, the terrifying mental power fluctuation rmed the factions within the city.
They looked up at the sky and witnessed a seven-colored light, as dazzling as the sun..

His consciousness kept sinking and finally fell into endless darkness.
[Brother, wake up. It¡¯s time to get up to save the world!]
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the darkness. It woke Feng Qi up, who was in a daze.
He was familiar with this voice as if he had heard it often a long time ago.
He slowly opened his eyes.
His vision shifted from blurry to clear. He observed the metal container nearby, containing a beating brain.
Memories flooded into his mind.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and he could not help but grit his teeth.
The negative emotions from reading the sacrifice timeline erupted at this moment.
All kinds of information surged in his mind.
All sorts ofplicated feelings towards the owner of the fog also surfaced in his memories.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
At the end of the sacrifice line, he chose to use his mental body to fight the Spiritual Energy Race.
He used the consciousness in his brain to control his mental body to fight, wanting to take back the owner of the fog¡¯s Blood Core and the Miracle Bracelet that had been snatched away.
In this battle, he had underestimated thebat strength of the Spiritual Energy Race.
In the end, he died in the sky above Former Days Research Institute without retrieving them.
When he was at the sacrifice timeline, he had thought of something a long time ago.
It was about handing the Miracle Bracelet to the Scarlet Research Institute in advance.
This way, he would acquire the Miracle Bracelet 1,500 yearster and initiate the faith-connection n, enabling the sacrifice timeline to gain formidable strength through the connection of faith.
For example, Blood Source, Purple Soul, Evil Thoughts, and other abilities.
Whether the faith connection could transmit power across space and time was still to be tested.
However, he had to at least possess the Miracle Bracelet first.
There were two hidden problems with this n.
Firstly, he was in the Tiger Soul Research Institute and often apanied the owner of the fog. If the owner of the fog asked about the Miracle Bracelet, he would not be able to exin this question.
Moreover, the blue-skinned assassin possessed the capability to track the Miracle Bracelet, and the risk of assassination attempts would likely escte over time.
The Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s position on every sacrifice line was clear.
The most important core of every sacrifice timeline was to ensure the safety of the Scarlet Research Institute. Then, he would use this as a starting point to expand his investigation.
If he handed the Miracle Bracelet to the Scarlet Research Institute, it would push the Scarlet Research Institute into danger.
The secret base could defend against the investigations of various forces, but it was useless against the blue-skinned assassins who had the ability to locate them.
This would affect the safety of the Scarlet Research Institute.
It might also cause the Scarlet Research Institute to be destroyed in advance.
This would lead to the failure of the intelligence he had investigated on the sacrifice timeline.
In conclusion, he gave up on the idea of handing the Miracle Bracelet to the Scarlet Research Institute in advance.
As for how he should obtain the Miracle Bracelet in the main timeline, Feng Qi had a n.
Thebat strength of the ck Absolute Domain Field was not difficult to defeat.
He could increase his strength in the future dream world and go to the real world¡¯s ck Absolute Domain Field to snatch the Miracle Bracelet.
He was not strong in the sacrifice timeline was not strong, but he was confident in his strength in the main timeline.
He nned to start his n to snatch the Miracle Bracelet when he returned to the main timeline.
As for now, he needed to increase his strength as much as possible.
Memories surged, and the intense mental painsted for a long time before it subsided. When he opened his eyes again, they were already bloodshot.
¡°Narrator, long time no see.¡± After a while, Feng Qi said in a hoarse voice.
[I¡¯m always here, boy!]
Perhaps only a few hours had passed.
However, he felt that it had been more than 10 years since he had interacted with the narrator.
A wave of nostalgia for the events in the sacrifice timeline surged in his heart.
Hearing the familiar voice of the narrator again, everything seemed to be a dream.
At this moment, the memories in his mind were still superimposing.
Other than the memory content of the sacrifice timeline, he had yet to recall what he had experienced after transmigrating to 1,500 years ago.
How did he enter the secret base of the Scarlet Research Institute?
What kind of changes had happened to the outside world after the owner of the fog died?
Without the Flesh Cauldron, did it mean that the consequences of humans had changed drastically?
Before understanding these things in detail, he reached out and pressed the switch on the metal container. Then, he ced the closed container into the storage space.
The mission of this sacrifice timeline had beenpleted. It was time to rest in peace.
Soon after, he scanned his surroundings.
There were obvious changes in the structure of the second level of the Scarlet Secret Base. However, there was nothing special about them.
At this moment, he asked.
¡°Narrator, tell me what¡¯s going on outside.¡±
[The situation in the outside world is intricate. It might be more dire than the previous future.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi was surprised.
Logically speaking, without the fog¡¯s owner snapping its fingers, no matter how dire the situation, it couldn¡¯t be worse than the extinction of humans, could it?
The narrator gave an exnation.
[Upon entering the future world, you discovered that the Star City Shelter had fallen. Without the fog¡¯s owner snapping its fingers, the little cripple and his nsmen took control of the Star City Shelter. You managed to escape the siege and put in some effort to locate the current Scarlet Secret Base.]
[In short, humans are still extinct. After the owner of the fog died, arge number of strange creatures stronger than living dead appeared in this area 1,500 yearster..]
Chapter 529 - 529: Dancing Like Demons (2)
Chapter 529: Dancing Like Demons (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°What strange creatures?¡±
[I¡¯m not certain of the specific situation. My guess is that perhaps in the normal timeline, the owner of the fog killed the rise of many domain factions during its growth in 1500 years. As the owner of the fog is dead, many factions that shouldn¡¯t have appeared 1500 yearster have also surfaced.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi sweated.
But thinking about it, the narrator¡¯s judgment was reasonable.
In the normal historical timeline, the owner of the fog would definitely kill some emerging factions that had an impact on its development.
The death of the owner of the fog in this sacrifice timeline would result in the resurgence of numerous factions that were supposed to be eradicated. They would grow rapidly, akin to snowballs rolling downhill.
Most of them would still be destroyed along with history, but perhaps a small number of them would survive to this day.
Without the owner of the fog harvesting the flesh and blood of the weaker races, perhaps everything would be in chaos 1,500 yearster.
After understanding the reason, he said again.
¡°Since there¡¯s no Flesh Cauldron, are there any living humans in the Scarlet Research Institute?¡±
[The outside world is in even worse shape. The Scarlet Research Institute sealed its doors to the secret base and the outside world 300 years ago. The external investigation team has long been disbanded. Besides you, no one can enter it.]
[This also poses a hidden danger. Without external supplements, achieving a true internal cycle in the Scarlet Secret Base is challenging. After all, there are still resources to ensure that you can ess information when you appear. In the end, the remaining members of the Scarlet Base chose to enter hibernation.]
[Regardless of their current state, I believe it¡¯s best not to awaken them. After all, waking up would expose them to hunger and cruelty. It¡¯s better to perish in a deep slumber. If you seek information through them, it¡¯s unnecessary. The Scarlet Research Institute cut off contact with the outside world long ago. The information they can provide is limited. Everything is avable in the database.]
After listening to the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
¡°Did ckie disappear because of the changes in history?¡±
[I¡¯m sorry to tell you that it didn¡¯t. Before you entered the secret base, you had a fight with ckie. In the end, you led it to an extremely powerful domain creature and escaped.]
¡°It just won¡¯t leave me alone!¡±
Every change in the sacrifice timeline would affect the course of history.
However, it seemed that no matter how much had changed, ckie¡¯s birth could not be altered.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi felt a little frustrated.
He could think of a way to deal with the enemies at every sacrifice timeline.
However, ckie was the only one without any ws.
Inparison, the blue-skinned assassin, who was also targeting him, was like a younger brother.
[ckie should be here soon. Prepare yourself in advance. It¡¯s time to throw out the ¡°Suction Cup Dyer¡±, to exchange for precious time.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi looked down at the little Suction Cup lying on his chest.
History had changed drastically, but the little Suction Cup still hadn¡¯t changed.
At this moment, her eyes were tightly shut and she was firmly attached to his chest.
He reached out and rubbed the head of the little Suction Cup. Then, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
In the following period, he nned to be as strong as possible and prepare to snatch the Miracle Bracelet.
In addition, he nned to make a trip to the Star City Shelter.
Without the owner of the fog snapping its fingers, the Star City Shelter was seized by the domain creatures.
The remaining humans in Star City Shelter had also been killed.
If he were to be stronger next, he had to find prey to hunt.
If possible, he wanted to go to Star City Shelter to avenge humanity.
However, the condition for all of this was that he had to test and implement it if they deemed it feasible.
The most important thing for him was to increase his strength. Then, he would return to the main timeline and make a trip to the ck Absolute Domain Field.
If the domain factions upying Star City Shelter were invincible, changing opponents was the best choice.
He took the elevator to the first floor.
When the elevator door opened, the scene outside was not much different from what he remembered.
After all, the construction of the Scarlet Secret Base had already begun before he died. The changes in history did not affect this ce much.
He looked down at the sleeping Suction Cup again and reached out to pinch its pink cheeks.
At this moment, Suction Cup opened her eyes, her face filled with confusion.
At this moment, she rubbed her head against Feng Qi¡¯s chest and hugged him tightly again.
Even after so many timelines had passed, he still felt heartache and guilt every time he saw the little Suction Cup.
But he had no choice.
[Sacrifices fuel grand ambitions. Beckon a new era,pelling even the sun and moon¡ In short, I¡¯ll aplish it next time.]
II II
As he waited, dense ck dots appeared in the passageway.
ckie¡¯s figure appeared at this moment. His appearance was no different from what he remembered.
Looking at ckie, who was quickly approaching, he raised Suction Cup.
When ckie was only about 65 feet away from him, he threw out Suction Cup in his hand.
Looking at the little Suction Cup that had opened her eyes in confusion, he decisively took a detour to the entrance of the Scarlet Secret Base.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s promation of ¡°I¡¯ll aplish it next time.¡± echoed in his mind.
In response, he decisively raised his middle finger in his mind.
The narration was as despicable as before.
Hearing the sounds of battle behind him, Feng Qi walked into the metal passageway..
Chapter 530 - 530: Dancing Like Demons (3)

After more than 300 feet, he arrived at the surface.
He was shocked to discover that the entire Star City had disappeared.
In the previous timeline, this ce was at least a city ruin. However, whaty in front of him was sheer devastation. Not a single building stood intact¡ªall had crumbled.
The scene was shocking.
As far as the eye could see, numerous life forms with several ck tails swiftly leaped and swam among the ruins.
They resembled creatures from old alien movies, yet their body structures were more simple. Their leaping capabilities were astonishing. The slender ck tails trailing behind them left deep imprints on the ruins of buildings. Moreover, they altered their forms with their body movements.
When Feng Qi appeared, many mutated domain creatures nearby turned to look at him.
A hint of green appeared in their dark eyes.
At this moment, they quickly approached, and their hoarse roars sounded in Feng Qi¡¯s ears.
The negative emotions brought about by the sacrifice timeline were still suppressed in his heart.
Facing the prey that hade knocking on his door, Feng Qi¡¯s face revealed a sinister smile.
He clenched his fists.
Dark green mes suddenly appeared, wrapping around his fists and enveloping his body.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and his body began to distort. Surging blood and Qi seeped out of his pores and engulfed his body.
After the Blood Source was activated, Feng Qi¡¯s body quickly transformed.
The surging power surged throughout his body along with his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he became a 13-foot blood giant.
The Purple Soul patterns on his body emitted a demonic light under the blood moon.
After more than 10 years, he once again felt this familiar and terrifying power.
The mutated domain creatures that were quickly approaching felt a powerful pressure from Feng Qi.
Their instinctive sense of danger made them stop decisively.
At this moment, Feng Qi opened his eyes, where scarlet light flowed.
He turned to look at the four mutated domain creatures less than 30 feet away from him.
[Fight!]
As the narrator finished speaking, his figure shot out like a cannonball.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, he approached one of the mutated domain creatures and swung his fist which wasrger than a washbasin.
The mutated domain creature did not even have time to react before it turned into minced meat under the impact of the fist. The blood-colored fog was absorbed into his body.
Seeing this, the other three domain creatures escaped.
Feng Qi did not chase after them. Instead, he clenched his fists at them from afar.
Immediately, psychokinesis turned into an invisible that wrapped around them and pulled them back to him.
Three heavy punches were thrown, and the three mutated domain creatures died, turning into blood fog that was absorbed by him.
Just as he was about to check what innate ability he had obtained from killing the mutated domain creatures, arge number of domain creatures appeared in the distant sky.
Shortly after, the buildings not far ahead trembled. A stone giant, standing more than 30 feet tall, emerged and bellowed at the sky.
At this moment, the buildings on the right were sent flying. A huge worm crawled out of the ground and opened its mouth which was filled with sharp teeth.
Like a chain reaction, more and more domain creatures appeared from the ruins.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with the world?¡±
[As I mentioned to you earlier, after the fog¡¯s owner died, this world underwent a significant change¡ This transformation might not necessarily be heading in a positive direction. It appears to have be even worse.]
¡°D*mn it!¡±
[It¡¯s like a programmer eliminating a loophole. Every time a loophole is fixed, a new loophole might appear¡ What you have to do is tob through the entire program, debug it, and eliminate all problems. That way, you can obtain the final ideal world.]
[So¡ Deal with it!]
When Feng Qi heard that, he nodded decisively and looked at the stone giant not far away.
¡°You were the one who roared the loudest.. I¡¯ll take you down first!¡±
Chapter 531 - 531: "Believer" (1)
Chapter 531: ¡°Believer¡± (1)

Boom!
After a loud bang, gravel flew everywhere.
The 30-foot stone giant took a few steps back under Feng Qi¡¯s full-strength attack. Its body tilted, and it copsed to the ground.
Feng Qinded steadily.
The Blood Source ability was undoubtedly the most practical talent he had at this stage. The only drawback was that there was a time limit every time he used it.
The exact time was about 10 minutes.
While there was still time, he pounced on the stone giant again.
Dark green mes rose on his huge fist, and the Purple Soul patterns on his body seemed to havee alive, swimming around his body and flickering with a demonic purple light.
The stone giant struggled to get up when Feng Qi¡¯s second punchnded.
The heavy punch was like a mountain axe that smashed heavily into its head.
Debris scattered in all directions. The stone giant¡¯s head tilted to the side, and its massive body shifted 10 feet horizontally under the force of the punch. It came to a halt only when it collided with the wreckage of the building.
The spot where the fist hit turned charred ck, and dark green sparks could be seen.
At this moment, the stone giant opened its mouth and let out a muffled roar like rolling thunder.
Seeing this, Feng Qi did not give it a chance to stand up at all. He quickly approached and grabbed the stone giant¡¯s left arm.
Roar!
As he roared, dark green mes ignited in his eyes.
At this moment, the body condensed from blood and Qi tensed up. Veins protruded from his forearm and spread towards the end of his arm like a dragon.
A power surged and rose in his body.
He used brute force to lift the stone giant, before throwing it at therge death worm in the distance with a shoulder throw.
The stone giant smashed down with a bang, and the death worm that was still hissing at the sky was instantly buried.
The nearby buildings were also reduced to dust by the impact. Smoke and dust rose.
Feng Qi passed through the smoke and dust that spread over and approached the stone giant, raising it using brute force again.
The stone giant could not resist at all.
Under Feng Qi¡¯s relentless assaults, the stone giant¡¯s left arm was the first to shatter, followed closely by the right arm and then the right leg¡ In the end, all four limbs were shattered, leaving only its head.
When Feng Qi shattered its head and reached out to crush the crystal in the stone giant¡¯s head, a ball of golden fog appeared and surged into his body.
As he panted, he began to look around.
Arge number of domain creatures were paying attention to his battle, but they did not approach him rashly.
After confirming that he was safe for the time being, he summoned his attribute panel.
At this moment, he had two new innate abilities.
[Earth Elemental Resistance (Passive)]:
Evaluation: Phase 2 (Upgradeable)
Resistance: 13
Ability Description: The Earth Elemental Resistance provides a degree of immunity to Earth Elemental attacks. The extent of immunity is contingent on the resistance value, with a higher value corresponding to increased immunity.
[Shadow Strike (Active Ability)]:
Evaluation: Phase 3 (Cannot be upgraded)
Ability Description: Unleash the ability to consume a certain amount of blood and Qi in the body and obtain an explosive increase in speed for five seconds. The effect of this ability depends on the strength of the blood and Qi consumed. The more blood and Qi consumed, the stronger the enhancement.
Of the two new abilities, ¡°Earth Elemental Resistance¡± was obtained after killing the stone giant.
Shadow Strike was obtained after killing the mutated domain creatures.
The evaluation of Shadow Strike was higher than Earth Elemental Resistance, but Feng Qi still preferred thetter.
At this stage, the initial strength of this ability was modest, but its growth potential was certainly promising.
Moreover, this passive ability suited hisbat style well.
As for Shadow Strike, in his opinion, it was rather useless.
While it could be advantageous for explosive speed gains, the durationsted only five seconds. More importantly, using this ability consumed the blood and Qi in his body.
He had the Blood Source for the explosiveness.
If he used Shadow Strike under the Blood Source form, it would shorten the duration of the Blood Source.
After a short analysis, he entered his sea of consciousness.
The golden waves surged, and over 20 innate ability beads materialized in front of him, revolving around the central golden-red bead.
Among them, gold represented his human form, and red represented his skeletal form. He could switch between them at will.
At this moment, his consciousness approached the ck ability bead that belonged to Shadow Strike and took it off.
¡°Three Tails!¡±
Hearing his shout, Three Tails appeared from the ¡°Evolution Token¡± above the golden-red bead.
After throwing the Shadow Strike ability bead at Three Tails, his consciousness left the mental space.
He chose to break down the useless ability into talent points.
Returning to his senses, he turned to look in the direction of the Star City Shelter.
he had broken out from that direction in the future dream. However, the effect of ovepping memories persisted, and he still couldn¡¯t recall what was there.
¡°Chirp!¡±
Three Tails suddenly cried. Soon after, it drilled out of his chest andnded on the ground, jumping excitedly.
¡°Don¡¯t bother me!¡±
Upon hearing this, Three Tails immediately lowered its head, though there was an imperceptible look of disdain in its eyes. Eventually, it obediently returned to Feng Qi¡¯s body.
Ignoring themotion caused by Three Tails, Feng Qi took advantage of the fact that the Blood Source form was not over and pounced decisively on the death worm.
The death worm was different from the ones he had encountered in the future. It was more than three timesrger..
Chapter 532 - 532: "Believer" (2)
Chapter 532: ¡°Believer¡± (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Its open mouth was like a meat grinder, filled with sharp teeth.
After being hit by the stone giant¡¯s body just now, the death worm was still twisting and struggling, raising waves of dust.
At this moment, Feng Qi approached.
As if sensing danger, the death worm suddenly turned around and bit at Feng Qi.??
6
He did not choose to dodge.
His thick arm stabbed straight into the death worm¡¯s mouth.
The moment the mouthpart touched the arm, it began to rotate like a millstone.
But this kind of damage was not worth mentioning to Feng Qi.
Under the Blood Source form, his flesh was harder than steel. After using his talent points to advance, the strength of his Blood Source form increased. Dark green mes surged into the death worm¡¯s body. Its flesh and blood became an elerant for the burning of the demon mes.
In the bhnk of an eye, the death worm was enveloped by the demon fire.
As the mes rose, the water in the death worm¡¯s body quickly dried up, and ck spots appeared on its body.
At this moment, Feng Qi suddenly swung his hand and threw the death worm aside.
He chose not to pursue the victory. Without looking back, he calmly turned around and walked towards the Star City Shelter.
Behind him, mes rose. The death worm struggled violently, but it quickly stopped breathing.
A ball of blood fog appeared from the death worm¡¯s carcass and floated towards Feng Qi, who had walked far away, before surging into his body. He summoned his attribute panel and discovered that his Resilience had been upgraded to Level 9. He received a 9% increase in Resilience.
At this moment, he quickened his pace.
His figure turned into a bloody light, leaving deep footprints along the way as he quickly ran in the direction of the Star City Shelter.
Before the negative emotions in his heart could all be vented, he let out a roar. Roar!
His voice exploded like thunder. The domain creatures blocking the way in front were frightened and retreated to the sides.
As for the domain creatures that reacted slower, they were all turned into blood fog and absorbed.
Soon, he obtained three new innate abilities.
However, these three new abilities were all useless.
However, with Three Tails, the useless abilities could be made useful.
As he continued forward, he began to think about a problem.
He felt that with his strength, it would be difficult for him to resist the domain alliance that upied the Star City Shelter. Moreover, there was a high chance that Little Cripple would be there.
After all, the reason for Little Cripple¡¯s sudden death was rted to the owner of the fog.
With the owner of the fog gone, it was obvious that no one could stop Little Cripple from entering the base.
With support from both within and outside, Little Cripple might even be the true controller of the Star City Shelter.
But he still wanted to try.
If he could, he wanted to avenge thest surviving human in this timeline.
Feng Qi was like a bull as he ran. Be it the ruins of buildings or domain creatures along the way, they could not stop him.
The once dpidated Star City had turned into ruins after 1,500 years in this timeline. He could only recognize the direction through the blood moon hanging in the sky.
He ran faster. After an unknown period, he rushed out of the area covered in wreckage.
At this moment, the Blood Source form had already dissipated.
However, along the way, he used his Skeletal form to kill three domain creatures and restored the conditions for activating the Blood Source form.
After all, the Blood Source form was his strongest trump card.
After leaving the ruins, what appeared in front of him was not the burial ground from back then.
Looking ahead, there were arge number of humanoid monsters. They stood there like scarecrows as if they had lost consciousness.
He was not surprised by the scene in front of him.
This time, the owner of the fog didn¡¯t take away their flesh and blood, so Little Cripple¡¯s nsmen didn¡¯t turn into living dead.
However, their consciousness was still shattered by the spatial reversal, turning them into fools. Only a small number of nsmen retained their consciousness.
It was simr to what he had encountered in the future.
Compared to what he remembered, these humanoid monsters seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. Their bodies emitted a red glow that echoed with the blood moon.
When Feng Qi approached, they seemed to have been stimted and pounced on him.
As if a chain reaction had been triggered, more and more humanoid monsters converged on him, including those far away.
[Be cautious. These humanoid monsters appear to have mutated under the influence of the blood moon. Their strength has significantly increased, and their defense has multiplied several times. Escaping from here was challenging even for you back then!]
¡°Got it!¡±
Feng Qi nodded.
At this moment, he activated the Blood Source ability again.
Blood and Qi enveloped his body, and his body expanded as if it was inted New muscle tissue quickly grew and covered his body.
His heart was beating faster. Twice, Thrice¡ and even 10 times faster.
Like a roaring engine, surging blood and Qi surged from his heart to his body. At this moment, arge number of humanoid monsters surrounded and pounced on him, covering him in the blink of an eye.
[Charge!]
As the narrator howled, the humanoid monsters were sent flying in all directions by Feng Qi¡¯s power.
Feng Qi Slowly raised his head with a ferocious expression and looked ahead.
At this moment, he moved.
The soil under his feet sank and turned into a pit. His body shot out like a cannonball.
In his Blood Source form, he resembled a fierce war chariot, advancing with a crushing force and plowing through multiple monsters.
However, these humanoid monsters seemed to be endless and were increasing in number.?
5
There were no shortages ofrge humanoid monsters among them Their mutated bodies rendered them challenging to kill. Even with broken arms and bodies, they would still struggle tounch attacks..

Feng Qi advanced for more than 3,000 feet, absorbing a significant amount of blood and Qi along the way, sustaining the Blood Source form that should have concluded.
At this moment, Feng Qi felt the pressure.
The strength of the humanoid monsters seemed to have mutated. Their bodies became extremely resistant to attacks.
An ordinary punch wasn¡¯t enough to kill them; he had to deliver a second blow.
Those humanoid monsters needed a few punches to kill.
His advancement speed became slower. He couldn¡¯t help but roar and ask.
¡°Narrator, how did I break out of here back then?¡±
[It¡¯s a long story.]
¡°Keep it short!¡±
[Back then, you charged all the way, but more humanoid monsters appeared. You couldn¡¯t hold on¡ However, you enveloped yourself in psychokinesis and
flew out.]
The narrator¡¯s answer caught him off guard.
He had considered the situation dire, but he hadn¡¯t expected to fly out of there.
However, he could not replicate this method.
He was not trying to break out of the encirclement now but wanted to kill his way into the Star City Shelter to avenge the humans. The nature was different.
Realizing that it would be difficult to continue forward, he decided to turn back.
He felt helpless, but he still decided to farm monsters nearby to be stronger. He would put aside the matter of revenge for the time being.
He could not waste time on things that he could not do.
Thinking of this, he decisively turned around and started to turn back.
He charged his way ahead.
However, the humanoid monsters had already surrounded him. Even if he sent the humanoid monsters flying, there would still be new humanoid monsters to rece them.
Although he could maintain his Blood Source form by continuously absorbing blood and Qi, he still felt a little weak
It seemed that his body had reached its limit.
Realizing that he could not continue forward, he quickly punched the surrounding humanoid monsters away. At this moment, psychokinesis wrapped around his body and carried him into the air.
These humanoid monsters¡¯ jumping ability was astonishing. They jumped several feet high and pounced at him.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi was surrounded by the humanoid monsters again.
However, the damage these humanoid monsters could do to him was limited. Under his struggle, the humanoid monsters fell from the sky.
After elevating himself from the ground, as he had anticipated, these humanoid monsters couldn¡¯t rely on jumping to attack him.
[In the end, you¡¯re still not strong enough. If you had Mu Qing¡¯s terrifying strength, you would be able to sweep all the way to the Star City Shelter and blow up the heads of those domain creatures like Little Cripple!]
[Tsk tsk it seems you¡¯re only adept at bullying the undead version of Little cripple. Perhaps it¡¯s better to keep kicking its head in the future dream to vent your frustration.]
The narrator¡¯s mockery made him roll his eyes.
It was a familiar feeling.
He looked down and saw arge number of humanoid monsters following closely behind.
He strengthened his psychokinesis and turned it into a force that pushed his body to increase his flying speed.
After flying for a while, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Brother, turn to your 2 o¡¯clock. Look at what I found.]
Hearing the narrator¡¯s words, Feng Qi decisively turned to look in that direction.
A huge camp appeared in the distance. One could vaguely see figures walking in
it.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that these creatures were goat-headed demons.
It was the camp of the goat-headed demons.
And it didn¡¯t look small.
¡°Narrator, how many goat-headed demons are there in this camp?¡± [Wait a moment¡ Okay, the scanning¡¯splete. There are a total of 3,249 goat-headed demons. It seems that after Fog died, the Dark God Sect¡¯s development in Star City was not bad. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such arge goat-headed demon camp!]
He had nned to give up on revenge, but after hearing these words, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
With the Blood Source ability, he would be worshiped as a god by the goat-headed demons every time.
Did that mean that he could rely on the power of the goat-headed demons to attack the Star City Shelter?
[Yes, we are on the same page. Now, get to work!]
At this moment, he changed his direction and flew towards the goat-headed demon camp.
A momentter, he arrived above the goat-headed demon camp.
He retracted his psychokinesis andnded in the camp.
Boom!
His calf sank into the ground, and he fell heavily to the ground. Upon hearing themotion, the goat-headed demons looked at him. When they saw Feng Qi in his blood giant form, the nearby goat-headed demons were stunned. They quickly knelt on the ground and muttered words that he did not understand.
The chatter attracted the attention of more goat-headed demons as they gradually gathered.
As time passed, more and more goat-headed demons were attracted to the camp.
After confirming that the goat-headed demons could be manipted, Feng Qi nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the exit of the camp.
Along the way, the goat-headed demons retreated to the sides, appearing respectful.
At the exit of the camp, he looked into the distance.
In the distance, humanoid monsters surged over like waves.
After a short pause, he walked towards the tide of humanoid monsters. After walking for more than 30 feet, he turned around and saw thousands of goat-headed demons gathered behind him, their hands burning with dark green mes.
Seeing this, a sinister smile appeared on Feng Qi s face.
He turned around again and walked towards the tide of humanoid monsters.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[My humble believers, heed my guidance.. Prepare for battle!]

Cold winds howled, and the blood moon hung high in the sky.
The tide of humanoid monsters advanced like waves.
They stepped on the bodies of their kind, not knowing fear or fatigue.
Under the influence of the blood moon, these humanoid monsters evolved with formidable defense and strength, but they lost consciousness.
Looking at the vast monster tide in front of him, Feng Qi took a step forward.
He chose to take the initiative to rush towards them.
When the goat-headed demons behind him saw this, they also charged ahead.
Dark green balls of mes rose into the sky and drew an arc in the sky. Then, they smashed towards the humanoid monsters like a meteor shower.
Immediately, mes bloomed in the humanoid monster tide, and they were sent flying in the explosion of the dark green mes.
It was simr to the situation in the previous future dreams.
These goat-headed demons treated him as a god and chose to fight for him
again without hesitation.
Using these goat-headed demons, Feng Qi felt no burden.
At this moment, he collided with the tide of humanoid monsters and was
instantly engulfed by it.
Dark green mes surged on the surface of his body. He swiftly swung his fist and propelled forward with an extremely violent force.
The goat-headed demons also followed him and stopped the humanoid monsters that kept gathering from both sides.
Howl!
At this moment, a melodious howl sounded from behind. A group of skeletal warhorses burning with dark green mes appeared from the camp and approached at an extremely fast speed.
As the skeletal warhorses approached, some of the nsmen among the goat-headed demons mounted the horses and directed them to assault the tide of humanoid monsters, attempting to get closer to Feng Qi.
With the goat-headed demon sharing the pressure, Feng Qi¡¯s advancement became smooth.
There was no need to worry about attacks from behind. He only needed to open
a path forward.
The efficiency of his advancement was also several times faster than before.
Relying on the cooperation of the goat-headed demons, Feng Qi quickly reached the ce where he had retreated previously.
As Feng Qi tore apart the lo-foot-tall humanoid monster in front of him, he realized that his body had undergone another transformation.
Flesh sprouts began to grow rapidly on the surface of his body, and the strength of the blood and Qi in his body became denser at a visible speed.
He punched the area in front of him and took advantage of the fact that the humanoid monster had yet to fill the gap. At this moment, he summoned his attribute panel, wanting to check the reason for the change in his body.
He was surprised to find that the prefix title ¡°Very Strong¡± had advanced. [Elite (Prefix Title Ability)]: Physical Strength increased by 40%, significantly enhancing the body¡¯s self-healing capability, and gaining the ability to regenerate limbs.
Compared to the ¡°Very Strong¡± prefix title, which had advanced to ¡°Elite¡±, his physical strength had increased by 10%. At the same time, he had also obtained an additional regeneration ability.
Feng Qi was in a good mood after his strength improved significantly.
He quickly punched a group of humanoid monsters away and continued to check his attributes panel.
Bloodline: Human (Intermediate)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 4,695/10,000
By continuously killing humanoid monsters, his Bloodline Evolution Points had reached 4,695 points.
There was still a long way to go before it reached 10,000 points.
However, this was an excellent opportunity. Every humanoid monster could provide him with 1 Bloodline Evolution Point. 5,000 was not too far away.
Thinking of this, he closed the semi-transparent attribute panel before him and pounced at the humanoid monster tide in front of him again.
As he fought with all his might, the viciousness in his heart was constantly vented, and his ovepping memories were partially recovered.
He began to remember the scene when he first entered the future dream.
At that time, he had descended not far from the Star City Shelter and was attacked by arge number of humanoid creatures.
There were also no memorable wees from Little Cripple.
At that time, the situation was urgent, so he activated his Blood Source ability to counterattack.
Then, he advanced towards the Star City Shelter.
Soon, the towering city walls around Star City appeared in his vision.
Observing this scene, he pondered that history had shifted due to the sacrifice timeline, allowing humans to endure once more 1,500 yearster, even though the situation didn¡¯t appear promising.
However, when he got closer, he realized that something was wrong.
The fluttering g was hung with the remains of humans that had turned into bones, and there were also human bones piled up under the city.
He could not help but suspect that the Star City Shelter was already upied by domain creatures.
The truth was as he had expected.
Attracted by the hugemotion outside, the domain creatures quickly appeared on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, he did not choose to advance rashly. He took a long detour and advanced towards the abandoned city.
At that time, he was filled with doubts.
He did not understand why the remaining humans in the Star City Shelter were defeated by the domain creatures.
Logically speaking, both humans and domain creatures would be sacrificed by the owner of the fog, including arge number of humanoid monsters outside the Star City Shelter. They should have lost their blood and Qi and be weak living dead.
The future seemed to have turned worse.
He felt that he could only find out the answer after reading the memories in the Scarlet Secret Base.
The recovery of these ovepping memories allowed him to understand the situation at that time.
He continued to advance towards the Star City Shelter with the goat-headed demons.
Relying on constantly absorbing the blood and Qi of the humanoid monsters, his Blood Source form could continue to be maintained, but the pressure on his body kept increasing.
The normal duration of the Blood Source was about 10 minutes.
He relied on absorbing blood and Qi to maintain the Blood Source form, which brought great pressure to his body..
Chapter 535 - 535: Transforming Into the Demon Dragon? (2)
Chapter 535: Transforming Into the Demon Dragon? (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Fortunately, his body¡¯s endurance had not reached its limit and was still within his tolerance range. However, there were waves of tearing pain in his body.
This kind of pain was nothing in his eyes.
The pain inflicted by the biochemical and rune modifications of the sacrifice timeline was countless times more intense than this current pain.
He was like a sharp knife, constantly tearing open the gap in front of him and quickly advancing with the goat-headed demons.
After some time, the towering walls of the Star City Shelter appeared in his vision.
Looking back, he realized that the goat-headed demons who had followed him had suffered significant casualties, with about a third of them lost.
The diminished group of goat-headed demons had perished in the course of advancing.
He didn¡¯t feel burdened at all.
He looked back at the Star City Shelter again and sped up.
After smashing away arge number of humanoid monsters in front of him, he saw the scene in front of the wall of the Star City Shelter clearly.
Arge number of human bones were hung outside the city wall as if the domain creatures were announcing to the outside world that they had obtained the final victory.
The anger in his heart surged.
At this moment, he ran straight to the city gate of the Star City Shelter.
Leaving a series of deep footprints along the way, Feng Qi suddenly punched the Star City wall after umting strength.
Boom!
With a resounding bang, the specially crafted metal city gate buckled, yet it wasn¡¯tpletely destroyed by this punch.
At the same time, the weapons system on the city wall was activated.
The rusty cannons locked onto him and fired at him.
The surging projectiles rained down. They only sank slightly when they hit his skin before they bounced off.
Taking a deep breath, he gathered his strength and punched again.
Under his violent attacks, the metal city gate caved in and finally copsed.
At this moment, he led the goat-headed demons deeper into the city.
Arge number of humanoid monsters followed closely behind. For a moment, the door of the shelter¡¯s wall was surrounded. Countless humanoid monsters climbed up the edge of the wall.
He walked deeper along the path filled with all kinds of rusty technological weapons and quickly arrived at the ck stone tablet.
Just as he was about to go forward and drip blood on it, before killing his way into the shelter¡
The ck stone tablet automatically moved to the side and opened.
Fully-armored domain creatures leaped out one after another.
They all looked different.
They no longer needed to infiltrate human society. They had removed their disguises and revealed the obvious physical characteristics of domain creatures.
Some had gills-like stripes on their faces, and some had horns on their foreheads¡ It could be seen that they were not from the same race.
When they saw Feng Qi, they did not show any surprise and took the initiative to attack him.
Through the surveince footage of the Star City Shelter, they had understood the situation outside. When the wall door was hit, they were prepared to counterattack.
They thought that Feng Qi, who had suddenly appeared, was a domain faction wandering outside and wanted topete with them for the ownership of the Star City Shelter.
The revolving resources in the shelter produced limited output. There was no such thing as sharing.
At this moment, they could only choose to fight to the death. Only the winner was qualified to control the Star City Shelter.
Feng Qi did not know what the weak race warriors were thinking. At this moment, he crushed a weak race warrior into minced meat on the spot.
Seeing this, the other weak race warriors counterattacked.
The goat-headed demons formed a line of defense behind Feng Qi, blocking the invasion of the humanoid monster tide.
In front of the metal ck monument in the passageway of the shelter, Feng Qi fought alone against the weak race warriors that kept emerging.
During this period, blood and Qi continuously entered his body, and he obtained four new innate abilities.
However, he did not have time to check their effects.
After so many years of growth, these weak race warriors who upied the Star City Shelter were powerful. He could not kill them as easily as he killed humanoid monsters.
When a familiar figure walked out of the metal passageway, Feng Qi¡¯s expression instantly became serious.
It was none other than Little Cripple.
Unlike the Little Cripple in his impression, it wore a special metal armor from the Star City Shelter and a crown made of unknown crystals on its head. Its aura was even stronger than thest time they fought.
Clearly, after controlling the Star City Shelter, Little Cripple relied on the resources stored in the warehouse to increase its strength significantly again.
Little Crippleunched its attack.
Even with one leg crippled, Little Cripple¡¯s attacks were fierce. Its sharp right leg struck from a tricky angle. It could also expand and contract freely, disying remarkable strength.
Executing its leg technique, there was a sharp sound of the wind breaking.
Facing Little Cripple¡¯s quick attack, Feng Qi remained calm.
Last time, he was defeated by Little Cripple¡¯s strength and technique. But this time, his strength was stronger.
Confronting Little Cripple¡¯s whip kick from top to bottom, he took a step forward and collided with Little Cripple using a powerful fist.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Little Cripple was sent flying several feet away, crashing into a metal structure. Instantly, electric sparks flickered within the equipment, and the chest area of the armor Little Cripple wore caved in.
[Right? As long as you have absolute strength and speed, you don¡¯t have to worry about any techniques. Just be reckless.]
At this moment, the narrator praised him in satisfaction.
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s words, Feng Qi punched away several domain creatures that were approaching and pounced at Little Cripple again.
Little Cripple, who had been through hundreds of battles, reacted quickly. It jumped up from the dented metal equipment and dodged the fierce punch.
Just as Feng Qi was about to follow up with another attack, he suddenly felt his body sink.
A force had attacked from the right.
He looked up and saw a domain creature covered in bandages staring at him.
An invisible pressure came from its body.
The domain creature covered in bandages suddenly clenched its fists. Feng Qi immediately felt the pressure on his body increase, and his limbs became less agile.
[It seems to have the ability to control gravity. It¡¯s not easy to deal with.]
As soon as the narrator finished speaking, Little Cripple attacked him from the other side and kicked his neck fiercely.
His body flew several feet away andnded heavily to the ground.
Before he could stand up, a tall domain creature approached from behind and locked his hands.
Feng Qi struggled, but the force behind him kept increasing.
Little Cripple approached and attacked again. Coupled with the restriction of gravity, he could not break free for a moment.
The current situation was extremely disadvantageous to him.
If he could not break free soon, he would die here after a few more hits.
He didn¡¯t want to die before ckie arrived.
The three domain creatures he was fighting were all extremely powerful.
However, they were not from the same race.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
The structure of the domain factions in the Star City Shelter was simr to the weak race alliance. They were domain factions that had lurked in human society early on.
In a situation where the danger level of the outside world increased exponentially, these domain forces understood that the domainpetition outside was not something weak forces like them could participate in at all. After humans established the Star City Shelter, they followed suit.
Due to the limited resources in the Star City Shelter, the weak races in the domain began to n to eliminate humans and monopolize the Star City Shelter for the future of their race.
For this reason, they also seized part of the authority of the Star City Shelter and restricted the spread and cultivation of high-level cultivation techniques, trying to curb the growth potential of humans in the Star City Shelter.
He had experienced these situations before.
The weaker race¡¯s n to exterminate the humans ultimately failed.
Even if he did not appear in the end, be it the weak races or the surviving humans, they would be sacrificed by the owner of the fog.
After all, the warriors of the weak races had also cultivated Flesh Sacrifice.
However, the situation in this timeline had changed. The owner of the fog had disappeared. They had executed the n to seize power, eliminating all human survivors.
Thinking of the owner of the fog, he suddenly recalled something.
Fog had once handed him the Flesh Cauldron¡¯s trajectory before it died.
He didn¡¯t know if the domain factions and Little Cripple in this timeline cultivated Flesh Sacrifice.
If they did¡
Did that mean that he only needed to learn from the owner of the fog to activate Flesh Cauldron and he could deprive them of their lives and flesh?
At this thought, a smile appeared on his face.
[Good lord, are you going to snap your fingers like Fog? As expected, the dragon yer has finally turned into a demon dragon¡ Though, I¡¯m looking forward to it..]
Chapter 536 - 536: Dark God Power (1)
Chapter 536: Dark God Power (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Before the owner of the fog died, it had carved the trajectory of Flesh Cauldron into the soil in front of it.
This trajectory was also recorded by the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s squad that came to the rescue.
After Feng Qi woke up, he tried to cultivate Flesh Cauldron and recorded its trajectory in his mind.
Facing the siege of intelligent creatures like Little Cripple, his current situation was terrible. He thought about whether he could use Flesh Cauldron to plunder their flesh.
But now, there was a serious problem.
If it was not addressed, it could have a huge impact on the future of humankind.
The creatures he killed and absorbed into the blood fog would erase any traces of their existence in the multidimensional space.
He could confirm that the humans in this area of Star City had been extinct, but he could not guarantee that there were still humans in other city areas.
If the humans in other cities had also cultivated Flesh Sacrifice after his death in the timeline, as long as he activated the Flesh Cauldron switch, humans in other cities would suffer, and their traces would bepletely erased.
ording to the narrator, there would be no traces of existence in the future timeline.
For example, A cultivated Flesh Sacrifice, and B was A¡¯s descendant. As long as Feng Qi killed B, B would not exist in the future timeline.
Even if A were pregnant with B again in the other timeline, there were only two oues.
1. Miscarriage, because B¡¯s life no longer existed. What she was pregnant with was just a pool of dead flesh without consciousness.2. Give birth to C, but it would not be simr to B in the previous timeline.
The consequences of karmic obliteration were too terrifying.
The owner of the fog snapped its fingers to kill life forms that cultivated Flesh Sacrifice in a timeline.
However, with a snap of his fingers, there was a high chance that he would destroy the traces of these lives in the multidimensional space.
An image appeared in his mind.
The human survivors in the other cities were enveloped by blood-colored mes after he snapped his fingers. The flesh on their bodies turned into blood and Qi under the mes.
He hesitated at the thought.
Without knowing if there were humans in other cities, activating Flesh Cauldron was irresponsible.
[It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no turning point. From the previous timeline, it can be observed that after the owner of the fog snapped its fingers, it opted to hibernate in this area, waiting for the blood fog of sacrifices from other areas to drift over. Clearly, it takes time to digest the sacrifices from all around the world. If you were to snap your fingers, you¡¯d likely be killed by ckie before you could absorb all the sacrifices in Star City.]
After listening to the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
The narrator¡¯s analysis was logical.
If he had died before the blood fog of sacrifices from other cities arrived, he did not have to worry about killing the humans that might exist in other cities.
After all, the essence of his obliteration was to absorb the blood fog and extract the innate abilities.
At the thought of this, an idea appeared in his mind.
First, he would snap his fingers and kill the domain creatures like Little Cripple. Then, he would die to prevent a series of subsequent effects.
Just as he was about to take action, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded again.
[Don¡¯t celebrate too soon. Perhaps the ovepping memories caused you to forget something. While you can cultivate Flesh Cauldron on the sacrifice timeline, you possess an extremely unique physique in the main timeline. You can¡¯t cultivate it at all. Flesh Cauldron is fundamentally not a spell, but a cultivation technique!]
Hearing the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood.
If not for the narrator¡¯s reminder, he would have almost forgotten that he could not cultivate in the main timeline.
But he still decided to give it a try.
At this moment, his body was still being attacked by Little Cripple. He endured the pain and closed his eyes.
The Flesh Cauldron¡¯s cultivation technique trajectory began to circte in his body. The blood-colored light spots followed his consciousness and drew aplicated trajectory in his body.
When the trajectory was formed, a cultivation vortex was formed.
The Spiritual Qi from the outside began to seep into his body under the pull of the vortex.
The core of the Flesh Cauldron was to condense a blood core in his body. Feng Qi was currently doing this.
The Spiritual Qi in his body gradually turned into a thin blood fog. As the trajectory continued to circte, it slowly gathered and the color gradually deepened.
p!
Just as Feng Qi thought that he couldplete the condensation of the blood core, a crisp crack sounded in his head.
The blood core formed by the blood-colored spiritual fog shattered.
[Oh my, that¡¯s it. In the future, you can snap your fingers and destroy the world, but you definitely can¡¯t do it in the real world. Your special physique can¡¯t interact with growth methods other than hunting.]
Feng Qi opened his eyes regretfully.
Looking at Little Cripple attacking from the front, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit down.
Little Cripple ruthlessly kicked his neck, and he sessfully bit Little Cripple¡¯s leg.
He opened his eyes and attacked, catching Little Cripple off guard.
Feng Qi suddenly shook his head and tore off a piece of meat from the crippled leg.
Little Cripple let out a miserable cry and retreated continuously.
Sitting and waiting for death had never been Feng Qi¡¯s choice. He believed that struggling in the face of despair could give him hope.
The Blood Source form did not have much time left. He decided to take the final gamble.
[It¡¯s not a big problem. If you lose, you can just kick the dead version of Little Cripple in your next dream to vent your anger. There are so many timelines. Aren¡¯t you going to let Little Cripple win once?]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s ridicule, he held his breath and exerted strength again.
The veins on his body bulged..
Chapter 537 - 537: Dark God Power (2)
Chapter 537: Dark God Power (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The terrifying power swiftly surged as it gathered strength. His heart seemed to have pressed the elerator, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Thick blood and Qi spread throughout his body along with his heartbeat.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The heavy beating of his heart could be heard clearly even from the outside world.
Sensing that Feng Qi¡¯s strength was constantly rising, the domain creature binding him from behind increased its strength.
However, this time, Little Cripple could not stop him.
In terms of pure strength, Feng Qi, who was in the Blood Source form, was stronger.
Apanied by a violent roar, he forcefully broke one of the arms that surrounded him from behind. Then, he grabbed the other arm and threw it over his shoulder.
At this moment, a notification sounded.
[Three Laws of Fighting: Eliminate the assant first, then the fragile one, andstly the controller. You know the drill!]
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi, who was about to continue attacking, did not hesitate. He turned around and pounced at the domain creature that could control gravity and was covered in bandages.
This domain creature¡¯s ability was extremely special.
If he did not kill it first, his movements would be restricted.
The main reason why he couldn¡¯t break free earlier was because of the bandaged domain creature¡¯s gravity control and Little Cripple¡¯s continuous attacks.
Faced with Feng Qi¡¯s sudden approach, the bandaged domain creature was shocked.
Soon after, Feng Qi grabbed its head with one hand and mmed it to the ground.
The bandages on the domain creature suddenly dissipated, revealing its shriveled body. The bandages quickly extended and wrapped around him, trying to restrict his movements.
However, the binding onlysted for a few seconds. The bandages wrapped around his body were ignited by the dark green mes and quickly corroded.
Boom!
When the bandage broke, the shriveled domain creature¡¯s head was mmed to the ground by Feng Qi.
Like a watermelon hitting the ground at high speed, a mix of milky white and red liquid sshed.
This domain creature¡¯s ability was strong, but its defense was extremely weak.
In the words of the narrator.
I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one.
As the blood-colored fog surged into his body, Feng Qi feltfortable all over.
Sensing the sound of rushing wind behind him, Feng Qi turned around and threw a punch.
This punch was powerful and heavy. When it was swung, there was even a sonic boom.
Boom!
Little Cripple¡¯s right leg took a hit from his fist. In the ensuing stalemate, violent winds raged in all directions. The ground beneath him, under intense pressure, cracked and unexpectedly sank.
The collision of power activated the viciousness in Feng Qi¡¯s heart.
As he roared, he threw his fist forward, sending Little Cripple flying.
Blood fog seeped out and enveloped its body.
At this moment, Feng Qi stood there like a demon that had crawled out of hell.
Just as he was about to pursue Little Cripple, another unfamiliar figure walked out of the metal passageway.
The figure was thin and was about the same size as the blue-skinned assassin.
Clutching a golden scepter and draped in a white robe, it bore golden patterns on its forehead. Its eyes, too, were a pure golden hue, with rings of golden light encircling its pupils.
At this moment, the golden scepter hit the ground.
A pair of huge white wings suddenly appeared behind it.
Seeing this, Feng Qi chose to continue chasing after Little Cripple, preparing to kill it first before paying attention to the new enemy.
[Be careful. The energy within its body is exceptionally pure, surpassing the other domain creatures like Little Cripple. I thought Little Cripple is the reigning authority in the Star City Shelter, but it seems to not be the case.]
As the narrator reminded him, the domain creature holding the scepter looked at him.
A golden ball of light appeared from the scepter and blocked in front of him at an extremely fast speed, stopping his pursuit of Little Cripple.
Seeing this, Feng Qi had no intention of stopping.
However, when his body collided with the golden ball of light, he immediately felt a powerful resistanceing from ahead.
The golden ball of light began to circle around his body.
A golden coffin, adorned with intricate patterns, materialized within the golden ball of light, enveloping him snugly.
Previously, when he encountered domain creatures, he relied on the innate ability given by his bloodline to fight.
Unlike humans, who had developed spells and other abilities that could increase theirbat strength, the golden coffin continued to solidify. Feng Qi felt pressureing from all directions.
As he roared, his body tensed up. He began to exert strength, trying to use his strength to break through the suppression of the golden coffin.
As if discovering his intention, the thin golden figure standing in front of the metal passageway raised the scepter in its hand again.
The golden ball of light that was still floating in the air fused into the golden coffin.
A gorgeous pattern of a golden disc appeared on the surface of the coffin. Feng Qi, who was inside, immediately felt a mysterious power invading his mind.
The dual attack of his mind and body doubled the pressure on him.
The pressure kept increasing in the confrontation. He could only grit his teeth and persevere, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind. However, it was not the narrator.
¡°Release your consciousness and allow me to leave my mark. Submit to my authority!¡±
Realizing that the domain creature that bound him wasmunicating with him telepathically, Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said.
¡°Submit? My *ss!¡±
As he spoke, he tensed up again.
¡°Submit or die!¡± The dignified voice sounded again.
[Based on my understanding of you, this isn¡¯t a multiple-choice question. It¡¯s a question that will kill you..]

The narrator ridiculed him.
¡°Stop spouting nonsense. Is there any way to help me escape?¡±
[There¡¯s a way, but I don¡¯t know if I should say it.]
¡°Say it. I can¡¯t hold on anymore.¡± The veins on Feng Qi¡¯s forehead bulged as he spoke with difficulty.
[Why don¡¯t you submit? You¡¯ll be able to escape if you submit.]
II II
He wished he could strangle the narrator.
The pressure on the golden coffin intensified. His strong body under the Blood Source form could not withstand the external pressure. He felt that the bones in his body were about to be crushed.
Just as Feng Qi thought that he was going to die before he saw ckie, the outside world changed.
The goat-headed demons, who were still resisting the invasion of the humanoid monsters, turned to look at the golden coffin one after another as if they realized that Feng Qi¡¯s life was in danger.
A familiar incantation sounded from the goat-headed demons.
Gradually, more goat-headed demons began to chant incantations, and dark green mes burned on the surface of their bodies.
As the goat-headed demons chanted, their bodies began to melt, turning into pure blood and Qi that floated in the air.
Large amounts of blood and Qi gathered, forming a sea of them.
Inside the golden coffin, Feng Qi could hear the sound of his bones breaking.
The blood and Qi in his body continued to thin, and he could no longer maintain his Blood Source form.
At this moment, the voice of the narrator suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Oh, the goat-headed demons are sacrificing themselves for you.]
¡°What?¡±
Hearing the narrator, Feng Qi was stunned.
Then, he realized what the narrator meant.
During his battle with the rock mountain, the creature bestowed him with the Purple Soul ability, and the goat-headed demons fighting alongside him resorted to sacrifice. This grim act granted him unparalleled and terrifying power when he found himself in a dire situation.
¡°There¡¯s hope!¡± Feng Qi eximed.
[Let me tell you on behalf of the goat-headed demons: You¡¯re wee, Motherf*cker.]
At this moment, arge amount of blood and Qi from the outside world began to approach the golden coffin that was suppressing Feng Qi. They entered through the cracks in the golden coffin¡¯s patterns.
A familiar heat surged in his body. Feng Qi immediately felt his body begin to change.
Last time, more than 10 goat-headed demons were sacrificed together.
They killed their way to the Star City Shelter. There were at least hundreds of goat-headed demons in the outside world.
He suddenly looked forward to how strong he would be under the infusion of sacrificial power.
The sacrificial power gathered and spread throughout his body.
A pair of demon horns pierced through his skin and rose from his forehead. The dark green mes on his body soared.
As the sacrificial power continuously surged in, his body also expanded, slowly forcing away the suppression of the golden coffin.
Under the terrified gazes of Little Cripple and the other domain creatures, his body quickly grew.
20 feet, 4.0 feet, 50 feet¡
The dark green mes surrounding his body branded distorted and ancient mysterious texts on his body. A pair of pitch-ck bone wings appeared behind him.
At this moment, an illusory Dark God phantom appeared above his head.
The Dark God phantom disyed six apertures distributed across its brain, limbs, and central body.
At this moment, the hole in the center had been filled with sacrificial power, condensing into a dark green gem that emitted light.
The rapid changes in his body and the pain caused Feng Qi to grit his teeth. He felt a surging power rising in his body.
At this moment, ck fog appeared from his body, forming balls of ck fog.
Feng Qi¡¯s body had already grown to more than 100 feet.
He seemed to have crawled out of hell. His entire body was filled with an evil aura.
The domain creatures below who had witnessed all of this had terrified expressions. Clearly, they did not know what had happened.
The pain caused by his rapid growth made Feng Qi roar.
Like a thunderp, the ground trembled.
The ck fog surrounding his body quickly circled. The terrifying pressure made many domain creatures below tremble.
In the distant sky, the sky beast that was flying in this direction quickly pped its wings and turned back under this roar.
[I hereby announce that the goat-headed demon has earned the title of the ¡°Best Sacrifice¡± in the future dream world!]

When the sacrificial power waspletely absorbed, Feng Qi was more than 150 feet tall.
Standing there like a demon statue, the dark green mes that spewed out between his breaths were like hellfire. The ck fog surrounding him made him look even more evil.
The terrifying bloodline pressure made Little Cripple and the other domain creatures below tremble.
The thin golden figure holding the scepter was no longer as calm as before.
It looked up at Feng Qi¡¯s towering figure with fear in its eyes.
Because it sensed a trace of divinity from Feng Qi.
Even though it was merely a vestige, the insurmountable abyss separated gods from mortals.
Facing the invasion of the crazy and evil aura, its smugness disappeared.
The suffocating grip of mortality pressed down, rendering it unable to draw breath.
At this moment, Feng Qi¡¯s enhancement finally ended.
Looking down at the tiny figures below and feeling the surging power in his body, Feng Qi had the urge topete with ckie again.
[ckie sent me to ry a piece of advice-be wise. It¡¯s on its way to defeat you. The oue will determine who¡¯s on top, and the loser will be at the mercy of the victor.]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s words, he decided to use his Dark God form to kill as many domain creatures as possible before ckie arrived.
Revenge for human survivors was one of the reasons. The second reason was to increase his strength as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi opened his mouth and spat out a ball of scorching ck mes.
But just as he was about to vent his strength, a distorted ck crack appeared in the distant sky.
As the ck crack changed, a spatial door burning with mes appeared from it.
The spatial door made of dark green mes gradually became clearer as it distorted. The head of the Dark God appeared at the top of the door frame.
Under Feng Qi¡¯s surprised gaze, he reached out his pitch-ck arm burning with mes and grabbed the door frame.
At this moment, the spatial door suddenly expanded.
A pitch-ck figure wearing a white bone mask poked his head out from the door frame.
The spatial door kept trembling as if it was under immense pressure.
At this moment, Feng Qi also saw the full appearance of the creature crawling out of the spatial door.
It possessed a human-like body with four robust limbs that seemed oddly mismatched. Its face was concealed behind a white bone mask, and atop its head protruded a pair of demon horns, remarkably simr to its current form.
There were many other simrities.
This monster was enveloped in dark green mes and had a pair of pitch-ck bone wings on its back. However, it was more than 90 feet taller than his Dark God form.
What caught Feng Qi¡¯s attention was that the Dark God phantom was also floating above the head of this evil creature.
The difference was that five of the six holes in the Dark God phantom above its head had been filled, except for the one in the center.
He only had the one in the center and the other five were missing.
[Oh, if I¡¯m not mistaken, this is the debt collector knocking at the door. The Blood Source ability you acquired seems to be one of the six fundamental powers of the Dark God. After you siphoned it, the Dark God became unable to regenerate, perpetually existing in an iplete state.]
¡°So it sensed my power this time and traversed space to pursue me?¡±
[That should be the case. Previously, your aura was too weak for him to sense it. This time, he obtained the sacrificial power of hundreds of goat-headed demons. It clearly targeted you.]
After hearing the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was enlightened. Then, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°It isn¡¯t the real god, right?¡±
[It might be after its body is repaired, but it¡¯s far from being one now.]
¡°How strong is itpared to ckie?¡±
[Well, you can only hope for the best!]
He realized that as his cognition increased, he encountered more powerful creatures.
However, these creatures were still not strong enoughpared to ckie. He also felt that ckie was more terrifying.
When he first obtained the ability to transmigrate into the future, he had the thought of fighting monsters to be stronger so that he could beat ckie up. Now that he thought about it, he was really stupid.
As expected, ignorance brought about mysterious confidence.
Feng Qi looked up at the terrifying creature standing in front of him.
He had a rough guess about its origin.
This was obviously rted to the future of the Dark God Race. Perhaps it was a super creature nurtured by the Dark God Race after harvesting human faith. They wanted to participate in the final struggle for supremacy and crisis for the future of the race.
[This future arrangement of cultivating super creatures isn¡¯t even deserving of licking Fog¡¯s toes.]
He agreed with the narrator.
He wasn¡¯t clear about the future ns of the other races, but at this stage, the owner of the fog was the most sessful one.
Without the owner of the fog, it could even be said to have seeded.
It was hard to say that afterpletely absorbing all the sacrificial power, it would be the transcendent god that looked down on all living beings.
At this moment, the Dark God Race monster had left the spatial door.
It stared fixedly at Feng Qi, unable to hide the hostility and greed in its eyes as if it wanted to devour Feng Qi.
As its body trembled, the dark green mes under its feet spread.
The mes spread quickly and ignited arge number of humanoid monsters nearby in the blink of an eye.
Realizing that this battle was inevitable, Feng Qi took a step forward.
The dark green mes surrounding his body swept forward with him as the center, igniting the humanoid monsters and domain creatures around him.
With a tragic cry, arge amount of blood and Qi surged into his body..

At this moment, Little Cripple and the other domain creatures ran towards the metal passageway against the corrosion of the dark green mes.
Nevertheless, Feng Qicked the energy to concern himself with them at this moment. His attention was solely focused on the monster crafted by the Dark God Race.
Upon the collision of the mes, the surroundings transformed into a domain field of hellfire. The mes utterly consumed the entire world.
[Get him!]
As the narrator yelled, the monster of the Dark God Race in the distance opened its mouth.
Blinding ck light gathered in its mouth, turning into a ball of ck lightning.
When the Dark God Race monster spat out the ck ball in its mouth, its body moved back under the recoil. A ck pir of light suddenly shot towards Feng Qi¡¯s face. ¡ã
Faced with the sudden attack, Feng Qi subconsciously raised his right arm and waved his palm forward.
Immediately, the ck fog surrounding him was attracted and gathered in front of him, turning into a pitch-ck fog shield. An image of the Dark God was automatically carved on it.
Boom!
The ck fog shield collided with the ball of light, and the power emitted distorted the air.
The aftershock of the terrifying power instantly turned the surrounding humanoid monsters into ashes.
The ground trembled like a magnitude 10 earthquake, causing the special metal wall outside the Star City Shelter to copse one after another.
In the face of absolute power, the defense of the shelter wall was useless.
The two forces quickly canceled out in the collision. In the end, the ck fog shield was the first to perish. The ck pir of light charged at Feng Qi. p!
At this moment, Feng Qi suddenly waved his hand and shattered the pir of light with a p.
Their eyes met. At this moment, the monster of the Dark God Race raised its body and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
When it appeared again, it was already behind Feng Qi.
Feng Qi, who had sensed the trajectory of the Dark God Race monster in advance, lowered his head and barely dodged the huge palm.
Consecutive sonic booms sounded. Even if this attack did not hit, it still caused the space here to tremble.
Even the mostmonce p had the potential to inflict damage to the surroundings.
Driven by his battle instincts, Feng Qi turned around and threw an uppercut, smashing hard into the chin of the Dark God Race monster.
A terrifying power instantly erupted upon contact.
The ground under his feet sank with a bang, and the ck fog surrounding his body gathered towards his right fist.
A ck pir of light rose from his hand, pushing the Dark God Race monster higher. Terrifying power kept tilting towards it.
[A regr attack coupled with its unique skill and a critical strike effect? If feasible, you must devise a strategy to defeat this monster. In doing so, you might gain ess to the full power of the Dark God.]
Ignoring the narrator, Feng Qi entered thebat mode.
The feeling of controlling absolute power intoxicated him.
At this moment, he suddenly leaped. The dark green mes in his hand gathered into a battle de and shed at the Dark God Race monster.
However, just as the battle de was about to strike the Dark God Race monster, one of the five Dark God gems lit up.
The sky was like ake under a storm, setting off countless ripples.
Soon after, the ripples spread into a ck array formation. Countless huge arms made of dark green mes appeared from the array formation and smashed down one after another.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands¡ More dark green arms materialized in the sky.
The scene was stunning. Feng Qi was swiftly struck down from the sky under the ferocious assault.
However, falling to the ground was not the end. Countless arms continued to smash down, and the tiles on the ground shifted. His huge body kept sinking under the violent swings of countless arms.
[Good lord, we agreed to a one-on-one melee duel, and yet it resorts to magic How unfair.]
Feng Qi¡¯s body could not resist the continuous attacks, and his body kept sinking.
Suddenly, the pressure behind him disappeared, and he felt a brief sense of weightlessness. He fell heavily on the square of the Star City Shelter¡¯s underground base.
At this moment, there was no life in the square. It was apparent that they had hidden in a shelter deeper underground.
While he was panting, he gathered his strength and began to punch the sky.
At this moment, a dark green fist of mes soared into the sky.
The zing palm and fist continuously countered each other, but it was evident that his ability was no match for the monster of the Dark God Race.
After blocking for a while, he was smashed to the ground again, and his body continued to sink.
¡°Doesn¡¯t its spell have any cooldowns?!¡±
[Thebat techniques of high-level life forms are truly terrifying. It¡¯s not like the fireball and waterball spells you learn in the academy, where you have to meticulously trace the trajectory. Here, the spells are unleashed in waves At this level, every spell can be considered highly destructive.]
Hearing this, the ferocity in Feng Qi¡¯s heart was activated.
The power in his body kept pouring out. His body waspletely enveloped by dark green mes, so dense that his body could not be seen clearly.
Roar!
With a roar, he charged into the sky with the ck hands that filled the sky.
At that moment, the ck bone wings on its back were engulfed by the dark green mes, transforming into a pair of fiery wings that started to p rapidly.
At this moment, dodging to the side was impossible for him. He could only grit his teeth and withstand the onught of the ck hands that filled the sky, gradually pushing himself upward.
Under the relentless barrage of violent ps, his body felt as if it were on the verge of splitting open.
His head, in particr, had been pped countless times, leaving him feeling somewhat dizzy.
Enduring the pressure, he ascended to the surface and lunged to the side with all his might.
The moment he fell to the ground, he could not help but spit out a pool of ck liquid..

When the Dark God Race monster saw him, greed filled its eyes. The sky ripples, like raindrops, vanished, and all the array formations instantly disappeared.
At this moment, the gem floating above its head lit up.
Boom!
A ck thread appeared in front of it.
Before the mysterious power could approach, the world seemed to be torn apart. A terrifying pressure swept over from all directions, and arge number of humanoid life forms nearby turned into ashes and dissipated.
Feng Qi¡¯s heart bled when he saw this.
These humanoid monsters should have be nutrients for his growth. As long as he killed them, he would be able to raise his human bloodline from Intermediate to Advanced.
Or even higher.
[You¡¯ve basically been sentenced to death. You¡¯re no match for this guy¡ Just treat it as a practice. Sooner orter, you¡¯ll have to enter a battle of this level.] Hearing the narration, Feng Qi calmed down.
He would just treat it as practice. There was no harm in dying at the hands of that monster.
Since ancient times, everyone died.
[But there¡¯s no one like you who keeps going back and forth endlessly.]
At this moment, the ck thread in front of the Dark God Race monster attacked him at an extremely fast speed. It was as if a page had been torn out of a picture. Wherever the ck thread passed, space curled up as if it had beenpletely erased, revealing a pitch-ck countercurrent space.
Sensing the terrifying power that was difficult to match, Feng Qi assumed the starting stance of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
[Third move of Struggling on The Edge of Death, Farewell Tiger¡ Hey, w-wait! ckie is here!]
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately turned to look east.
In the distance, a ball of ck fog approached quickly.
ckie bore no aura, yet the grinning Dark God Race monster turned its attention toward ckie.
Unlike the brainless domain creatures, these beings only chose to meet their end when they came across ckie.
After a brief nce, a subtle fear appeared in its eyes.
When ckie got closer, the calm andposed Dark God Race monster suddenly turned to look at it. A surging killing intent almost materialized and surged over.
The speed at which the ck thread moved suddenly increased.
Just as the ck thread was about to touch his body, Feng Qi leaped to the side.
The ck thread sliced through him, and his right arm vanished as if it had never existed, like a notebook erased by an eraser.
Feng Qi staggered and steadied himself. He had lingering fears.
He had no doubt that if he hadn¡¯t dodged, he would have been erased by the ck cutting line.
At this moment, the ck cutting line continued to sh towards ckie.
The five gems on the Dark God Race monster lit up at the same time and instantly arrived in front of Feng Qi. A terrifying pressure instantly pressed down on him.
A ck dot appeared in the huge mouth of the Dark God Race monster.
The ck dot spun rapidly, creating a ck vortex. A terrifying suction force emanated from within.
At this moment, Feng Qi felt the threat of death.
Before he died, he turned to look at ckie.
In the distance, the ck thread collided with ckie.
The ck thread, which could temporarily erase space, stopped in front of ckie. Right on the heels of that, the ck fog spread forward and enveloped it.
The invincible ck thread quickly melted in front of ckie.
[If the ck thread is an eraser, then ckie is a ck hole. There¡¯s noparison!]
As the narrator finished speaking, the ck thread dissipated.
At this moment, ckie condensed its body and flew towards Feng Qi at a moderate speed.
Half of Feng Qi¡¯s body had been sucked into the huge mouth of the Dark God Race monster.
ckie approached and the ck fog began to devour Feng Qi¡¯s legs.
The Dark God Race monster could not hide the fear in its eyes when it saw this scene. It spat out the upper half of Feng Qi¡¯s body and took a few steps back.
Its arms tore off, outlining a burning door of mes.
Stunned, Feng Qi jumped in without looking back.

Narrator:¡
[Coward!]
At this moment, Feng Qi raised his middle finger at the back of the Dark God Race monster.
Feng Qi turned to look at ckie, who was slowly devouring his body. Hey on the ground and supported his chin with one hand as he shouted.
¡°Hurry up, Brother ckie.. Unless you want a taste of my Ferocious Tiger Fist!¡±

When the ck fog enveloped his body, Feng Qi quickly lost consciousness.
After an unknown period, an intense pain woke him up from the darkness. At this moment, he opened his eyes.
He rose gradually from the sofa. The surroundings before him seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.
At this moment, he held his head.
All kinds of negative emotions from the sacrifice timeline surged in his mind. He could not help but recall the memories of the sacrifice timeline.
Especially when the owner of the fog died in battle.
The unbelievable and guilt-ridden sadness lingered fresh in his mind.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions in his mind. He sat up from the sofa and walked to the fridge.
After opening the fridge, he took out a cold drink and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
The cold liquid slid down his throat, and he immediately felt much more awake.
Shaking his still dizzy head, he took the drink and walked to the desk.
He pulled out a chair and sat down. He opened the notebook on the desk.
However, he did not start recording. Instead, he began to read the contents of the previous records.
He was not in a good state now. He nned to rest for a while and start recording when his mental state was better.
The sky gradually darkened.
Feng Qi turned on themp on the desk.
During this time, Lin Ran called and asked him to have a meal together.
After telling Lin Ran that he was busy, he hung up.
He continued to sit in front of the desk and flip through the pages. When his fingers touched the words, his mind was filled with memories.
Every sentence recorded in the notebook was an abbreviation of a sacrifice timeline.
Perhaps behind the sentences were the results of his years of hard work on the sacrificial timeline.
Behind every piece of information was a person who had given up on the future and was willing to pay the price of his life to be a pathfinder towards darkness.
The experiences turned into countless memories in his mind.
These memories were like mes that burned Feng Qi¡¯s heart, making him even more determined.
The sacrifice of every sacrifice timeline would increase the burden on his shoulders. The expectations of carrying multiple sacrifice timelines made him stronger.
It was one in the morning.
When he flipped to the nk page, he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.
At this moment, he grabbed the pen on the desk and began to record the information obtained from this timeline.
Intelligence Gained.
Intelligence Gain 1: It has been verified that the origin of Flesh Sacrifice lies with the owner of the fog. Specifically, the owner studied the patterns on the miracle blood stone and crafted it, incorporating two improvements.
Derived Intelligence: The enhanced trajectory of the owner of the fog is divided into twoponents¡ªFlesh Cauldron and Flesh Sacrifice.
Flesh Cauldron: Theplete version of the trajectory imprinted on the blood stone (improved by the owner of the fog).
Flesh Sacrifice: A reduced version of the blood stone¡¯s trajectory.
Flesh Cauldron was the true core of this cultivation technique.
Flesh Sacrifice served as a sacrificial offering for Flesh Cauldron cultivators. Cultivating it would enhance one¡¯s bloodline, a design meant to make it more readily epted by practitioners of Flesh Cauldron.
Future Prospects: Continue to let Old Wang try to study the solution to Flesh Sacrifice. As long as he can resolve the hidden dangers of Flesh Sacrifice, this super cultivation technique can help to encourage the growth of human cultivation.
After writing the first piece of intelligence, Feng Qi fell silent.
He had thought of many ways to resolve the hidden danger of Flesh Sacrifice.
For example, getting rid of Fogpletely.
However, there was still a hidden risk in doing so. It could not eliminate the hidden danger of Flesh Sacrifice.
The miracle blood stone that Fog had obtained was iplete. There should be other factions holding the iplete parts of the miracle blood stone.
These factions might be able to research something from the iplete blood stone.
Although the probability was very small, it was still a risk.
In conclusion, he had topletely eliminate the hidden dangers of Flesh Sacrifice to be at ease.
He had also thought of letting humans cultivate Flesh Cauldron.
But after careful consideration, he gave up on this idea.
The reason was simple. When the owner of the fog first discovered the trajectory of the blood stone patterns, its goal was to develop a super cultivation technique that could help the nsmen develop.
The reason why it created Flesh Sacrifice was that it felt that Flesh Cauldron was tooplicated.
Theplexity was manageable in the initial stages of cultivation, but as it progressed, it became increasingly intricate.
Not only would this level ofplexity not help the development of the race but it would also limit the growth potential of the race.
Only a small number of individuals with top talent could truly cultivate it.
That was why it chose to create the neutered version of Flesh Sacrifice.
Therefore, it was difficult to go on thisplicated path even for Fog.
Thinking about it, Feng Qi felt that cracking Flesh Sacrifice was the easiest way.
As long as they sessfully cracked it, humans would obtain a super cultivation technique that could unearth the potential of their bloodline.
Now, Old Wang had made progress in every timeline. Although the progress was slow, it was not hopeless. He could look forward to it.
At this thought, Feng Qi continued to write in his notebook.
Intelligence Gain 2: The Tiger Soul Research Institute had been upied by the domain faction, the Night Shadow Race.
Comment: A feeble force posing no threat; it can be effortlessly eradicated.
Intelligence Gain 3: Through investigation, I discovered that the Spiritual Energy Race seemed to be recruiting domain forces with potential and nurturing them to n for the future.
The subsidiary force that had been identified at this stage: the Dark God Race.
Dark God Race Intelligence: It¡¯s essentially confirmed that the emergence of goat-headed demons is linked to the Dark God Race. There¡¯s a significant likelihood that these demons are descendants of the Dark God Race, emerging 1,500 yearster..

Spection on the Dark God Race¡¯s Scheme: The Dark God Race¡¯s n was to establish and develop the Dark God Sect in the five major cities and the surrounding affiliated cities. Then, through the influence of the Dark God Sect, they would harvest the power of human faith and create a super creature, the Dark God.
Comment: The Dark God Race¡¯s future ns aren¡¯t foolproof. The main concern is the Spiritual Energy Race backing them.
Intelligence Gain 4: Through the owner of the fog¡¯s description, I learned that there was a secret base of the Spiritual Energy Race in the underground sewers of Twilight City, an affiliated city of Former Days City. The research target in the base was the blue-skinned assassin.
Spection 1: The blue-skinned assassin was a special creature created by the Spiritual Energy Race.
If this spection was true, it could basically be confirmed that there was more than one miracle item in the Spiritual Energy Race. Their overall strength could easily overturn human civilization.
Spection 2: The blue-skinned assassin was arrested when it snatched the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s Holy Spirit Consciousness Library. Then the Spiritual Energy Race began to study it.
This spection was more consistent with the truth than the first.
Comment: There seems to be an issue with this anomaly. However, the current intelligence iscking, preventing a detailed judgment based on the limited information avable.
Intelligence Gain 5: From the owner of the fog¡¯s description, I learned that the future n of the Science and Technology Research Institute was called the ck Death Project.
This n could basically be confirmed to be the n to create ckie. However, as Wang Yi was a corebatant, the owner of the fog could note into contact with research information and could not conduct an in-depth understanding and investigation of the ck Death Project. Intelligence Gain 6:1 discovered the existence of a miraculous item in the ck Absolute Domain Field, situated between Former Days City and the East Sea.
This miracle item was temporarily called the Miracle Bracelet. It could ignore distance to collect the power of faith. The specific absorption efficiency was still to be tested.
Future Outlook: Perhaps by establishing a connection of faith, the ability of the main timeline can be projected onto the sacrifice timeline. This way, I will also possess powerful innate abilities like the Blood Source in the sacrifice timeline. If this n was feasible, I couldunch a powerful attack in the sacrifice timeline next time.
Follow-up n: Rest for a few days to adjust my mental state before heading to the ck Absolute Domain Field to snatch the Miracle Bracelet.
Danger Evaluation: Fog could effortlessly ovee the humanoid leader before its body fully healed. Moreover, the life curse from the humanoid domain creature had minimal impact on me before its demise. The innate ability of Purple Soul proved highly effective in mitigating damage from various energy forms.
In Summary: Very low risk
Intelligence Gained 7: Learning about the owner of the fog¡¯s growth.
Intelligence Content: After apanying Fog along the sacrifice timeline, I understood its pain, dreams, and determination.
Only then did I realize that the heinous individual in the previous timeline had
a different side. It could even be said that it valued friendship.
But no matter what, it could not erase the heinous sins it hadmitted against humanity¡
At this point, Feng Qi suddenly stopped writing.
Having apanied Fog for more than 10 years, many of his experiences were still vivid in his mind.
Particrly memorable was the scene where Fog risked its life to save him, carrying him through outside Former Days City.
At that time, he was touched by Fog¡¯s disregard for its own safety.
Now, he vividly recalled the moment when Fog struggled to move its fingers on the ground before its demise, urging him to persist in pursuing its dream.
Putting aside their differences, they could be true friends.
The owner of the fog on this sacrifice timeline had taught him many things. It also led him toprehend that, viewed from another perspective, there was very little genuine evil; rather, it was mostly a matter ofpulsion. During the years he had grown up with the owner of the fog, he had asked himself.
If there was a day when humans faced a desperate situation and the only way out was to lead humans to another world to conquer and plunder, what would he do?
The answer to this question was obvious.
He was not a saint. He had only chosen to think from the perspective of humans.
All factors that were unfavorable to humans were evil in his eyes.
He didn¡¯t feel that he was in the wrong, but he didn¡¯t think that the owner of the fog was in the wrong either.
The reason was none other than their positions being different.
However, he would still stand on the side of humans and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. He would work tirelessly to reach the ideal future.
The only regret in his heart was that fate had destined him to be enemies with the owner of the fog.
Their brief encounter and the subsequent acquaintance resembled an
unrealistically idyllic vision. It was just like a dream.
[Actually, there are alternatives beyond hostile choices between you and Fog. I observed your sacrifice timeline memories and recognized a potential resolution for the conflict, although it¡¯s evidently impractical at present.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
¡°What do you mean?¡±
[Based on your memories of the sacrifice timeline, Fog has manifested the fog domain field, identified by humans as the ¡®Silent Domain Field.¡¯]
[But at this stage, humans have yet tounch a strategy for the Silent Domain Field. In other words, Fog at this time has never harmed humans, let alone threatened them.]
[Through Fog¡¯s exnation, we have understood that its goal is to stand at the top of the world and be a Pir God. However, the core of this goal is that only by bing the Pir God can it have the ability to protect its race from external threats forever¡ In summary, Fog is most concerned about its nsmen. This is also the promise it made to all its nsmen when it became the leader of the Fog Race.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi suddenly understood what the narrator wanted to express.
¡°You¡¯re suggesting that if I can align Fog with my cause, it won¡¯t just refrain it from bing an adversary to humans but could potentially be an ally?¡± [That¡¯s correct. There are no eternal enemies, only perpetual advantages. If you can persuade Fog to align itself with humans, you could secure a reliable ally with limitless potential for all of humanity.]
After hearing the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qj¡¯s expression changed.
The narrator¡¯s words opened up a new train of thought for him.
Thinking about it carefully, there was still a long way to go.
There were many challenges that humanity had to face in the future.
Could he recruit a group of like-minded domain races to unite with humans and face the unknown disaster together?
But just as the narrator said, he couldn¡¯t recruit the owner of the fog at this time.
There were three conditions to rope in the owner of the fog.
1. Possesses absolute strength.
Strength was the foundation of negotiations. Without matching strengths, it was impossible to talk on the same level.
This problem was not difficult to solve.
With the activation of the Blood Source form, hisbat prowess matched, if not surpassed, the heavily injured Fog. As long as he continued to enhance his strength, oveing the present state of Fog would not pose a significant challenge.
- 2. Help the owner of the fog find a way to revive its nsmen.
Strength served as merely the prerequisite for a conversation, not the decisive factor.
Resurrecting the nsmen was what the owner of the fog cared about the most. It could even be said to be an ¡°obsession¡±. Only by solving this problem would Fog be willing to form an alliance with him.
Otherwise, considering hisprehension of Fog, if he were to use force topel submission, it would likely result in underhanded tactics and deceit. This might lead to a few stabs in the back against the human camp in the future. - 3. Let Fog see a future it could look forward to.
Fog valued rtionships a lot. If he helped it revive its nsmen, it would definitely be grateful.
However, pure gratitude was not the key factor in an alliance. Based on his understanding of the owner of the fog, there was a high chance that it would choose to help the human camp grow in the future and notpletely stand with them.
The only way to make Fog stand firmly with humans was to let it see an ideal future, a future where its nsmen could live peacefully forever.
He had to figure out how to solve this problem.
However, he had to convince Fog that he could do it. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk. Fog would not be easily fooled.
After solving these three problems, Fog would be able to stand firmly on the side of the human camp and work hard for the future with all of humanity. At the thought of this, excitement appeared in Feng Qi¡¯s eyes.
The guilt in his heart disappeared at this moment.
After hearing the narrator¡¯s words, he found a brand new path. He realized that the difference in position between him and Fog could be resolved.
It was not as he had imagined, where there was only one oue.
A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
¡°Narrator, you¡¯ve helped me a bunch.¡±
[If you really want to thank me, please show some sincerity.]
¡°How so?¡±
[Call me ¡°Father¡±.]
¡°Id*ot!¡±
[Pui!]

The next morning.
When he woke up early in the morning, Feng Qi went to the principal¡¯s office to exin the situation to Bai Fusheng and left Star City Academy.
After leaving the academy, he used his phone to book a car and went straight to the Scarlet Research Institute.
There were many situations that couldn¡¯t be described on the phone He decided toe to the Scarlet Research Institute to exin the sacrifice timeline in detail.
After a night of rest, the effects of ovepping memories had subsided a lot.
In his mind, a lot of information and knowledge obtained from the Scarlet Secret Base 1,500 yearster appeared.
Most of the information was rted to super virtual games.
This was also a project that the Scarlet Secret Base had spent a lot of resources on researching on this sacrifice timeline.
Now, the super factory used to build the virtual gaming capsule outside Star City had begun to be built. The research of virtual games was also on the right track.
Regarding the limited impact of virtual games in the sacrifice timeline on the future, it wasn¡¯t that virtual gamescked merit.
In the sacrifice timeline, the most important thing for the Scarlet Research Institute was safety.
If theyunched arge-scale virtual game promotion, there would be a certain risk.
Even if the various factions wouldn¡¯t rashly take action without rifying the situation, low risk was still a risk. It could also lead to the early destruction of the Scarlet Research Institute.
This sacrifice timeline would undoubtedly fail.
Only bypletely eliminating the hidden dangers of human society could the super virtual game officially begin its futureyout.
He and the higher-ups of Scarlet Research Institute believed that this super virtual game would be a highway in the human development process and greatly increase the speed of human development.
About two hourster, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Scarlet Research Institute.
After paying the fare, Feng Qi got out of the car.
There was no need for the verification process. The detector installed outside automatically scanned him andpared it to the database.
After standing in front of the metal door for a few seconds, the metal door opened automatically.
At this moment, he walked into the base.
Following the familiar route, there were arge number of technological weapons installed on both sides of the main path. Along the way, there were also soldiers on duty.
After entering the base and passing through several checkpoints, he arrived at Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory.
At this moment, theboratory door was tightly shut. It was obvious that they were conducting experimental project research.
Feng Qi chose to wait outside.
His gaze swept across the base square. The researchers in the base were all focused on their work and did not pay attention to his arrival.
He was already used to this.
After waiting for a long time, theboratory door opened and Wei Wei, who was wearing a uniform, walked out with a tired expression.
Wei Wei was a little surprised to see him leaning against the wall.
¡°You¡¯re back.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Hold on, I¡¯ll record the research data first before listening to you talk about the sacrifice timeline¡ Come with me.¡±
Feng Qi nodded.
He followed Wei Wei to the research database and sat at the side, watching Wei Wei record the data on the control panel.
An hourter, Wei Wei stopped and turned to look at him.
¡°Tell me, what hurt you this time?¡±
¡°Why are you certain that I was hurt? Can¡¯t it be the story of me beating up domain factions and leading humans to rise?¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes when he heard that.
Hearing this, Wei Wei smiled and teased.
¡öTf you have innate abilities, there¡¯s a small chance that you can beat up various domain factions. However, you can only embed rune crystals to increase your strength. There¡¯s a limit to your growth. How can you beat them up?¡± At this point, Wei Wei paused and said seriously.
¡°So, let¡¯s begin. Tell me about your tragic experience of sacrificing yourself.
You can cry if you¡¯re sad¡ There are no surveince cameras here.¡±
¡°Alright, although I¡¯m a little sad from the experience, I¡¯m not going to cry!¡±
¡°Because you cried already?¡±
[Good lord, did this old woman learn ¡°Insight¡± from me? How does she always see through you?)
Looking at Wei Wei¡¯s teasing expression, Feng Qi felt like he had been seen through.
Taking a deep breath, he began to describe the experiences of this sacrifice timeline in detail.
As he spoke, images of the sacrifice timeline kept appearing in his mind, and he subconsciously immersed himself in them.
Wei Wei¡¯s expression gradually became serious as Feng Qi exined.
Time passed unknowingly.
When Feng Qi mentioned that the owner of the fog had sacrificed itself to save him, Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but be moved.
¡°Ah Qi, I think you can think of a way to pull the owner of the fog to our human camp and form an alliance with us to deal with future challenges.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
Then, he ryed what the narrator hadmunicated to him to Wei Wei.
After hearing his story, Wei Wei immediately nodded and said.
¡°The narrator is right. If we solve the three key problems, we can indeed pull the owner of the fog to our human camp. But I still need to add a few points.¡± ¡°Firstly, you mentioned that the death of the owner of the fog¡¯s nsmen is linked to the individuals obstructing the way. These individuals are likely the super experts who vanished in history. They prevented most domains from encroaching on lives. Otherwise, the human world would likely have been overrun by domain factions long ago. If this spection holds true, Fog harbors an irreconcble enmity toward humans. After all, human experts were responsible for the death of his nsmen..¡±
Chapter 545 - 545: WeiWei’s Reminder - Data Recording (2)
Chapter 545: WeiWei¡¯s Reminder ¨C Data Recording (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Although reviving Fog¡¯s nsmen can fulfill its obsession, you have to think of a way to resolve the hatred in its heart for humans¡ Of course, this premise is that the person obstructing it may be a human expert.¡±
¡°Secondly, racial discrimination.¡±
¡°Humans can unite in the face of the mysterious pressure from the future by forming an alliance with the faction where the owner of the fog is located. During this period, they can assist each other and grow together. However, once the external pressure dissipates, the hidden dangers within will surface.¡± ¡°Regarding this, you can refer to the racial discrimination before the cmity. Even in the same country, there is discrimination and harm against another color.¡±
¡°If you and the owner of the fog were still alive at that time, you could have negotiated to resolve this problem. However, once you and Fog disappeared, conflict would definitely erupt between the two races.¡±
¡°Culture, living habits, and other aspects are all conflicting points.¡±
¡°After all, the Fog Race and us humans arepletely different. We can¡¯t live together. In the face of external pressure, we can cooperate with the Fog Race. I believe that there will berades who will sacrifice for each other on the battlefield.¡±
¡°However, peacetime is different. So, you need to think of a way to separate humans from the Fog Race after resolving the external crisis. Or, you can send the Fog Race back to the domain world. If you have the strength, you can help them resolve the crisis of the domain world.¡±
¡°Of course, it¡¯s still too early to say this. After all, it¡¯s still unknown if we humans can survive the final crisis¡ I¡¯m just reminding you to pay attention to this problem. Your good rtionship with Fog can¡¯t integrate twopletely different races in an era of peace. This is unrealistic.¡±
Listening to Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi nodded from time to time.
[She¡¯s thorough. She¡¯s talking about the potential problems after the cooperation of the two races, especially the first problem. You have to resolve it before you choose to cooperate with Fog. Otherwise, this problem might be a conflict point for Fog to switch sides.]
After Wei Wei finished exining, she smiled and said.
¡°By the way, describe the trajectory of Flesh Sacrifice that you recorded. I¡¯ll record it and hand it to Old Wang when the timees. It might help him resolve the hidden dangers faster.¡±
As she spoke, Wei Wei pressed a few buttons on the data control panel. Immediately, a human meridian diagram appeared on the screen.
Feng Qi nodded. Then, he stood up and walked to the control panel. He followed the Flesh Cauldron¡¯s trajectory and outlined the human body¡¯s meridian diagram.
After spending half an hour sketching and carefully checking to ensure that there were no problems, he returned to his seat and sat down.
Next, he began to talk about the relevant information left behind by the Scarlet Research Institute on this sacrifice timeline.
The most important thing was the information rted to virtual games.
In the more than 1,000 years after his death, the Scarlet Research Institute had spent most of its energy on the structure and construction of the virtual game.
They had also sessfully created two virtual domain fields.
[Dungeon: Blood Domain Field]:
Data Source: Blood Domain Field, Thunderze Domain Field, Crimson me Domain Field.
Reflection: 99.5%
Difficulty: E (Ranked F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS)
Mode: Solo, Team
Refresh: Once a month for Solo. Once a week for Team.
Resources (Increases the strength of the character in the game): Blood Flower (Level 3 Resource), Thunderze Ore (Level 2 Resource)¡ (25,242 Total Resources)
[Dungeon: Silver Moon Domain Field]:
Data Source: Silver Moon Domain Field (Partial Reference).
Reflection: 99.5%
Difficulty: SS
Mode: Team
Refresh: Once every three months.
Resources: Silver Moon Grass, Silver Moon Stone, Silver Moon Domain Field Monster Dposition Resources, etc. (32,231 Total Resources)
The structural data of these two instance dungeons was extremely huge.
They were all imnted into his mind by Wei Wei, who was on the sacrificial line.
If he relied on memorization, he would not have enough time for the future dream.
This was not the first time Feng Qi had heard of the second dungeon, Silver Moon Domain Field.
This domain field descended decades after his demise on the sacrificial timeline. The location of its descent was west of Star City, a mere 60 miles away from the city.
At that time, in order to resolve the potential hidden danger, Star City had sent arge number of troops to attack the Silver Moon Domain Field.
But in the end, they all failed.
Fortunately, the Silver Moon Domain Field showed no signs of expansion, allowing Star City to rx for a short period.
But one day, the Silver Moon Domain Field suddenly elerated its expansion and brought an unprecedented disaster to Star City.
He clearly remembered the description of the sacrificial timeline.
At that time, Star City sent arge number of military troops to Future City to help defend the city. In the end, Star City suffered a crisis. It was toote for the military to rush back.
Fortunately, Suction Cup stood up at that time.
After inheriting Mu Qing¡¯s strength, she fought the Silver Moon Domain Field alone and defeated the terrifying Silver Moon Race.
But it also came at a price.
Suction Cup lost consciousness in the battle, and the scarlet rune crystal embedded in her arm shattered.
Hence, Suction Cup became the guardian in the eyes of the residents of Star City. However, it could only act ording to its instincts.
Mu Qing¡¯s strength was extremely terrifying. Although Suction Cup only inherited a portion of Mu Qing¡¯sbat strength, it was easy for her to destroy an ordinary domain field.
To be able to injure Suction Cup to this extent, it could be seen how dangerous the Silver Moon Domain Field was.
The Scarlet Research Institute had considered the danger of the Silver Moon Domain Field. They had used the data left behind by the Silver Moon Domain Field in advance to create the Silver Moon Domain Field dungeon so that humans coulde into contact with it in advance and prepare for future strategies.
Even after working untilte at night, Feng Qi had only recorded one-fifth of the content of the dungeon.
Under Wei Wei¡¯s invitation, he followed Wei Wei to the cafeteria. During this period, he ate heartily.
After the meal, he and Wei Wei returned to the data control panel and began to record information.
This information would greatly increase the growth of the Scarlet Research Institute in virtual games.
A few hourster, Wei Wei, who was exhausted from the research project, left early.
Feng Qi, who was not sleepy at all, continued to record the information in his mind into the database.
With his current physique, even if he didn¡¯t sleep for a week, it wouldn¡¯t affect his body at all. Sleeping was more about habit.
The difort of not sleeping mainly came from the mental level.
When Wei Wei came again the next day, he was still fully focused on recording the information.
¡°You¡¯ve been busy all night. Do you want to rest for a while?¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯m not tired at all.¡±
¡°I was just asking. Best of luck.¡± As she spoke, Wei Wei stretched her armszily and smiled.
¡°I heard from you yesterday that your mental state is affected by the negative emotions brought about by every sacrifice timeline?¡±
Feng Qi stopped operating the data control panel and turned to look at Wei Wei curiously.
¡°Why? Do you have a solution?¡±
¡°Emotions are illusory. We humans haven¡¯t reached the rudimentary level of research in this area. However, before I fell asleepst night, I thought of a nt that can nourish your mental state. I n to conduct research in this area in the next few days and see if I can concoct a mind-calming potion.¡±
Hearing this, warmth flowed through Feng Qi¡¯s heart.
Regarding the impact of his mental state being oveid by negative emotions, he had only casually mentioned it when he was talking about his sacrifice timeline experience. He didn¡¯t expect Wei Wei to pay attention to it.
Although Wei Wei said that she had thought of it unintentionally before she fell asleep, he felt that Wei Wei had checked the relevant information and understood it in depth.
¡°Sister Wei, thank you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee. I¡¯ll get to work first. There¡¯s a batch of spiritual materials in the resource bank. I¡¯ll grab some for experiments, and I¡¯ll use you to test the effects.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Feng Qi immediately nodded in agreement.
After Wei Wei left, Feng Qi turned to face the control panel and devoted himself to recording the information again.
During this period, in order to ensure that there were no problems with the recorded information, he also had to look through the recorded information back and forth to ensure its validity.
Time passed.
After staying up all night for seven days, other than eating, he did not rest for a moment. Feng Qi finallypleted recording all the information.
At this moment, Wei Wei also brought him good news..

After seven days of sleepless nights, Feng Qi finally entered all the information in his mind into the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s database.
After leaving the database library, he went to the Scarlet Research Institute cafeteria alone and had a big meal.
After dinner, he went straight to Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory.
At this moment, theboratory door was not locked. He walked straight in.
Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory was expansive, spanning over 5,000 square feet. It housed the most advanced experimental equipment avable.
There was also a special ss cab specially built on the north side of theboratory. It was neatly divided into squares and ced with domain creatures¡¯ rune crystals of different colors.
The ss cab that stored the rune crystals was also filled withbels. They were used to ssify andbel the rune crystals in detail.
At this moment, Wei Wei was wearing transparent protective sses and her body was wrapped in a protective suit. She was also holding a tube of reagent in her hand and conducting some kind of experiment.
Seeing this, Feng Qi didn¡¯t go forward, afraid that he would affect Wei Wei¡¯s progress.
After waiting for a moment, Wei Wei, who was focused, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, she turned to look at Feng Qi who was standing not far away.
¡°Have you finished recording the information?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s all recorded. When did you realize that I was here?¡±
¡°I sensed it the moment you stepped through the door. I may not be a cultivator, but I¡¯m highly attuned to subtle perceptions. That¡¯s the primary reason I could sessfully carry out the rune modification surgery. Subtle perception is an innate ability of mine.¡±
With that, Wei Wei reached out and picked up the ss tube on the instrument.
¡°I¡¯ve made the mind-calming potion, but I haven¡¯t tested the specific efficacy in detail. Why don¡¯t you try it yourself?¡±
Looking at the faint golden liquid that was still bubbling in Wei Wei¡¯s hand, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°This medicine isn¡¯t poisonous, right?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, this tube of medicine is made from the Golden Rainbow Fruit produced by the Gold Coin Domain Field. The spiritual material itself doesn¡¯t have any energy other than mental power. The mental power contained in it mainly serves to calm the mind and doesn¡¯t have any side effects. I made it to amplify the effect of calming the mind. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have asked you to test it.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
When he arrived in front of Wei Wei, he reached out and took the faint golden potion from her.
Just as he was about to drink it, he suddenly stopped and couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°This vial of potion has just been concocted. Is there a data record of it? Otherwise, I might die after consuming it.¡±
WeiWei nodded.
¡°The entire process of concocting is recorded, and the data is also preserved. It¡¯s easy for me to concoct the same medicine again, so you don¡¯t have to worry. Drink it.¡±
Hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was relieved.
At this moment, he picked up the faint golden potion and drank it in one gulp.
When the liquid entered his mouth, it was tasteless like pure water.
When the faint golden liquid slid down his throat, he did not feel any abnormalities.
He subconsciously opened the attribute panel, wanting to see if it had the effect of increasing the energy percentage.
However, the truth was just as Wei Wei had said. There were no other energy substances in the potion, and the value of the energy progress bar did not fluctuate.
Just as he was feeling puzzled about this, he felt a sense offort in his head.
It felt like a gentle breeze had swept by, and his body eased. Immediately after, a fleeting sense of euphoria washed over him for a few seconds.
Although the duration was short, he still felt the pressure on the mental level ease.
¡°It seems to be effective.¡± Seeing the change in Feng Qi¡¯s expression, Wei Wei smiled and said.
¡°It¡¯s effective, but it onlysts for about five seconds. The effect is not very obvious.¡±
Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but frown.
¡°Only five seconds? Looks like my modtion results aren¡¯t ideal.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not considered a failure, right? Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if I drank more?¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°You¡¯re thinking too simply. The Gold Coin Domain Field was dispersed five years ago. The spiritual nts produced inside were divided among the major cities at that time. The reserves of Golden Rainbow Fruits in our resource bank are very limited. Before we find them to help you relieve the effects of negative emotions, we have to use them sparingly.¡±
¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have tried to increase the effect of the Golden Rainbow Fruit on your mind by concocting it. Wouldn¡¯t it be more convenient and faster to give you the fruit directly?¡± Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
Looking at the enlightened Feng Qi, Wei Wei pondered for a moment and continued.
¡°How about this? Wait on the sidelines. I still have one n I haven¡¯t attempted. I¡¯ll give the second n a try and see how effective it is.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Feng Qi immediately nodded.
Next, Wei Wei threw herself into concocting the Golden Rainbow Fruit again.
Feng Qi chose to stand not far away and watch.
The experiment began. Wei Wei took out three Golden Rainbow Fruits from the icebox in theboratory.
At this moment, he saw the Golden Rainbow Fruit clearly.
The fruit was only the size of an ordinary apple. It was golden all over and was covered in ayer of red light that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Wei Wei shattered all these Golden Rainbow Fruits and turned them into a faint golden liquid. Then, she took other spiritual materials that she had prepared long ago and began to try mixing and concocting the medicinal liquid.
Throughout this process, her primary aim was to utilize the medicinal properties of other spiritual materials to enhance the effects of the Golden Rainbow Fruit.
Inparison to the process of brewing Heart Cleansing Wine, Wei Wei¡¯s concoction of the mind-calming potion was exceedingly intricate. Feng Qi felt overwhelmed by theplexity..
Chapter 547 - 547: Mind-calming Potion (2)
Chapter 547: Mind-calming Potion (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Finally, after some work, a new potion was produced.
Feng Qi took the mind-calming potion from Wei Wei again and drank it in one gulp.
This time, the duration of the medicine was increased by about two seconds, but the effect of the medicine was reduced. The effect was still not ideal.
Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but frown.
¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave. I¡¯ll try to add some more stimting herbs and see if they can multiply the effect of the mind-calming potion.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
¡°Sister Wei, I¡¯m not in a hurry. Take your time.¡±
At this moment, Wei Wei turned around and went to the control panel of the privateboratory to check the relevant information.
A few hourster, Wei Wei sorted out several modification ns byparing the medicinal properties in the database.
Next, he followed Wei Wei to the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s resource bank.
The Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s resource bank was located on the eighth floor. When the elevator door opened, eight metal doors appeared in front of them.
Metal nametes were still pasted in front of each metal door.
Spiritual Materials (Spiritual nts) Refrigerated Storage, Spirit Stone Resource Bank, Spirit Mineral Resource Bank, Domain Creature Corpse Storage, Rune Crystal Storage, S-ss Experiment Record Database, Domain Creature Blood Storage, and Special Resource Storage.
He followed Wei Wei to one of the refrigerated storages. After many verifications, the thick metal door slowly opened.
Before him stretched a corridor, roughly 30 feet in length, leading to a metal door at the far end.
After another round of verification, the second metal door opened.
A strong medicinal fragrance immediately assaulted his nose.
What appeared in front of him was a huge resource bank. All the spiritual materials were neatly ced on different shelves and sorted.
There were also four Spiritual Qi manufacturing machines ced at the four corners of the storage. The spiritual stones inside were changed regrly to ensure that the Spiritual Qi content in this room was suitable for the preservation of spiritual nts.
At this moment, Wei Wei came to aputer and entered ¡°Crystal Spirit Fruit¡± in the search list.
Immediately, a ck frame popped up on the screen.
[Crystal Spirit Fruit (Coordinates): 8th column, 3rd row, 3rd position. Quantity: 3 tons]
After taking the Crystal Spirit Fruit ording to the coordinates, Wei Wei came to the screen again and entered the next name.
After going back and forth several times, the spiritual materials needed for the experiment were all prepared.
During this period, Wei Wei took out some more Golden Rainbow Fruits that she didn¡¯t have much in stock for the subsequent experiments.
After leaving the storage, he followed Wei Wei back to the privateboratory.
Next was theplicated experiment process. During this period, Feng Qi waited at the side to watch the entire process.
As soon as Wei Wei concocted a new mind-calming potion, he would go forward to taste it and tell her the effect.
However, after several attempts, the effect of the concocted mind-calming potion was not ideal.
In order to increase the medicinal effect, Wei Wei began to add stimting spiritual materials.
This process was intricate. While incorporating stimting herbs, Wei Wei also had to ensure that the effects of the other herbs would onlyplement the Golden Rainbow Fruit and not interfere with it.
If she wanted to achieve this bnce, other than the support of experimental data, she could only continuously carry out experimental tests.
Wei Wei, who was engrossed in the experiment, lost track of time.
The next morning, Wei Wei concocted the 8th bottle of mind-calming potion.
This time, the potion was no longer pale gold, but light red.
¡°It¡¯s ready. Let¡¯s test the effect of the specially enhanced version. The medicinal potency might be more robust. The primary goal is to optimize the utilization of the Golden Rainbow Fruit¡¯s medicinal effects. This time, we¡¯re nearing the limit. Adding more stimting herbs couldpromise the medicinal efficacy of the Golden Rainbow Fruit.¡±
When he arrived in front of Wei Wei, Feng Qi reached out and took the potion from her hand.
Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.
This time, when the medicine entered his mouth, it was no longer as tasteless as before. A spicy feeling rushed to his head.
Just like an inferior baijiu¡ªa strong distilled spirit unavoidable at Chinese social functions¡ªthe smell was choking.
He forced himself to swallow the liquid in his mouth. The liquid slid down his throat, burning with pain along the way.
When the liquid entered his stomach, it immediately churned.
If it weren¡¯t for Wei Wei personally providing him with the potion, he would suspect it to be poison and an attempt on his life.
However, he had absolute trust in Wei Wei.
The powerful recovery ability of his body was activated at this moment, allowing the small injuries to instantly heal.
At this moment, he felt as if a huge bell was ringing in his mind. He felt that the world in front of him began to spin and tilt. Then, it returned to normal and kept repeating.
The mental suppression also received positive feedback under the infiltration of the mysterious power.
This feelingsted for about three minutes before it subsided.
The voice of the narrator sounded at this moment:
[This old woman is remarkable. I detected a multitude of dark clouds on your mental level, but the potion you just took actually dispelled one of those clouds. In other words, a portion of your umted negative emotions has been alleviated.]
¡°So, how many negative emotions are there on my mental level?¡± He immediately asked curiously.
[I didn¡¯t count them in detail. There are about a hundred of them.]
After listening to the narrator, he turned to look at Wei Wei.
¡°Sister Wei, it¡¯s effective this time, but the quantity is far from enough. I still need arge number of such potions.¡±
Wei Wei shook her head.
¡°The potion I brewed this time is highly invigorating. The usage intervals should not be too short. Each time you consume it, it¡¯s akin to cleansing your mental consciousness. Excessive use may lead to damage to your mental strength. I suggest using it at spaced intervals.¡±
[She¡¯s right. Your body possesses an exceptionally robust self-healing capacity, but your mental consciousnesscks the innate ability to heal itself. The consumption of this stimting mind-calming potion indeed requires intervals. During these periods, you must allow your mental consciousness to regte itself.]
After hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi immediately nodded. Then, he looked at Wei Wei and asked.
¡°Sister Wei, how often do you think I should drink it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure yet. We need to test your mental strength first before deciding on the amount.¡±
Feng Qi nodded in agreement.
Next, he left the privateboratory with Wei Wei and arrived at the medical examination room.
In fact, his physical data, including mental strength data, was already stored.
However, every time he returned from a future dream, the strength of his body and mental power would change.
The previous data could no longer be used and needed to be tested again.
With Wei Wei¡¯s help, he underwent a mental strength test.
After the test results were avable, Wei Wei picked up the test report ejected from the testing instrument.
After scanning it, Wei Wei went to the medical equipment at the side and started operating it.
On the screen, his body data model appeared, and the data list of the mind-calming potion jumped out.
After making some guesses andparisons, Wei Wei stood up and walked to Feng Qi.
¡°The results are out. Your mental consciousness self-regtion ability is not bad. You can drink 500 milliliters a day.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it like drinking a bottle of medicine once a day?¡± Feng Qi was stunned.
[It can¡¯t be helped. Unless you can find an innate ability to heal mental consciousness or obtain the ability to remember infinitely, entering a future dream with high intensity will only cause you to be devoured by negative emotions and be a lunatic.]
[Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of a problem. Have you be a lunatic? I¡¯m just a narrative you imagined. You might have been staying in a mental hospital and talking to yourself.]
[Back to the beginning of our meeting, everything you experienced was just a young man with the dream of saving the world. In the ssroom, there was no dream of the future 1,500 yearster, nor was there any struggle on the sacrifice timeline. After you woke up from the dream, you were sent to the hospital because of your mental illness. You haven¡¯t woken up until now.]
[You¡¯re not taking it seriously, are you?]
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°You¡¯re just a dumb system.¡±
Next, he followed Wei Wei back to the privateboratory.
While waiting, Wei Wei spent a few hours using the data she had previously kept. She concocted an entire box of mind-calming potions in one go and asked him to take them back and consume them timely.
Although the effect of the mind-calming potion was limited, it could undoubtedly slow down the impact of negative emotions on him.
He was grateful for Wei Wei¡¯s help.
He also chose to bid farewell to Wei Wei at this moment.
He took a taxi to arrive here, but when he returned, he took the exclusive military car of the Scarlet Research Institute.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, he decided to head to the ck Absolute Domain Field next and snatch the Miracle Bracelet..

Star City Academy.
The next morning, Feng Qi arrived at the principal¡¯s office.
After knocking on the door, Bai Fusheng¡¯s energetic voice came from inside.
¡°Come in.¡±
He pushed the door open and stepped inside. There, he found Bai Fusheng donned in a spacious white martial arts suit, engaged in a cultivation technique reminiscent of Taiji. White smoke still wafted from the tea set beside him.
¡°Are you looking for me to apply for leave again?¡± Bai Fusheng asked without looking up.
Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled and took two steps forward to pick up the teapot on the coffee table. He brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Fusheng with both hands.
¡°Grandmaster, you know me. I¡¯ve been working on a project with the Scarlet Research Institute recently, and I¡¯ll have to do it with them for a few more days.¡±
Lifting the teacup, Bai Fusheng couldn¡¯t help but yfully rebuke.
¡°Okay, it¡¯s something rted to virtual games again, right? Go ahead, but you have to promise me not to spend too much energy on this. You still have to focus on researching cultivation techniques.¡±
¡°Understood!¡± Feng Qi nodded without hesitation.
[Yes, yes, yes, Sir. Whatever you said is right, but I¡¯m not listening at all.]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s words, he chatted with Bai Fusheng for a while before leaving the principal¡¯s office.
After returning to the dormitory, he first called Lin Ran and Mu Qing to exin the situation. Then, he packed up and left the school with his backpack.
He decided to head to the ck Absolute Domain Field.
He had thought about whether he could bring Mu Qing along.
If Mu Qing made a move, it would be easy to get the Miracle Bracelet.
However, by doing so, he could no longer use any innate ability, especially the Blood Source ability. Otherwise, his secret would definitely be exposed.
He trusted Mu Qing very much, but he had to guard against the possibility of the secret being leaked.
This would affect the subsequent sacrifice timeline.
Moreover, he was going to the ck Absolute Domain Field to snatch the Miracle Bracelet, not to attack the ck Absolute Domain Field alone. The difficulty was not that high.
He could deal with the humanoid leader alone, so there was no need to add any more variables.
After leaving the Star City Academy, he took a taxi to the Scarlet Research Institute.
The Scarlet Research Institute, which had received the news in advance, had prepared a private ne on the tarmac of the base. After he arrived, he was brought straight to the ne.
Without much cumbersome process, the private ne took off after he sat down.
Looking at the shrinking scenery outside the window, Feng Qi was calm.
Just as the narrator said, when one¡¯s strength was enough to face a challenge, there would be no fear or nervousness in one¡¯s heart.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Fog.
Fog had said simr things before, but its viewpoint was different from the narrator¡¯s.
It had previously stated that by proceeding with caution and anticipating all potential mishaps, it could confront any unforeseen circumstances withposure.
At this thought, he realized that Fog and the narrator were two extremes.
One of them insisted that strength was paramount, while the other continually muttered that strategic nning was the key to victory.
The ne continued to climb higher, breaking through the thick clouds.
The shrinking scenery below was covered by thick clouds, but one could see the intersecting domain light screens of different colors in the distance.
Every domain field was like a natural barrier that blocked the connection between the various cities.
Even the flight route was updated in real-time.
If the ne identally barged into the domain field, it might be torn into pieces by the domain field with different rules.
The route to Former Days City required constant avoiding of the domain fields marked as ¡°dangerous¡± during the flight.
Feng Qi took out a bottle of mind-calming potion from his backpack.
After unscrewing the cap, he took a huge gulp.
After a short period of intense stimtion, he felt as if a breeze had brushed past his head. A warm feeling seeped into his consciousness.
After a short moment of emptiness, he felt that his mental state had recovered a lot.
¡°Narrator, do you think the Miracle Bracelet allows me to establish a connection with me from the sacrifice timeline and transmit power?¡±
[I¡¯m not sure, but we can look forward to it. After all, you can transmigrate through the timelines. What else is more ridiculous than this? I always feel that your ability to transmigrate through the timelines was also provided by a hidden miracle item, so it¡¯s understandable that the power of the Miracle Bracelet can transmigrate through time and space.]
¡°I think the miracle item that helped me transmigrate through the timeline is you.¡±
[Bullsh*t, you¡¯re the miracle item. Have you ever seen a miracle item with intelligence?]
¡°You don¡¯t have any intelligence. All you think about is strength.¡±
[Id*ot, are you trying to start a war of words?]
¡°I¡¯m not joking anymore. I¡¯m a little curious about what you think you are.¡±
Faced with Feng Qi¡¯s question, the narrator was silent for a moment before saying.
[Is there a possibility that I¡¯m actually another super genius of humanity who challenged the oue of humanity¡¯s extinction? After creating a time-transmigrating machine, I repeatedly attempted to alter the future of humanity but failed each time. Eventually, I opted to digitize myself and traverse time and space in search of alternative opportunities to save the world. In the end, I found you?]
[Although I¡¯ve lost my memory, my thoughts on saving the world are as firm as yours, so I think the probability of this happening is extremely high.]
¡°Now that you mention it, it¡¯s possible. But why did you lose your memory?¡±
[Well¡ then I¡¯m not sure.]
¡°Maybe your brain was fried when you transmigrated.¡±
As soon as he said this, he immediately had a bad feeling.
Just as he expected, the narrator quicklyunched a verbal counterattack..

Hearing the furious curses of the narrator, he suddenly could not help butugh.
It was rare for him to have the upper hand.
One dayter, at 3 p.m.
The private ne flew past the sky above Former Days City and finally stopped in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
After watching the ne fly away, Feng Qi walked east.
The scenery he saw along the way made him feel very familiar.
Thest time he came with the owner of the fog, he also carried a backpack like this.
However, at that time, what he had in his backpack was not clothes and mind-calming potions, but the Stimnt Syringe. He was prepared to die in an ident at any time.
After walking along the main road for a while, he arrived at a hotel closer to the airport.
During the registration at the front desk of the hotel, Feng Qi began to respond to the hotel staff¡¯s questions.
The content of the inquiry was mainly rted to why he came to the supply area.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
After all, his identity was still a teacher in the Star City Academy. It was strange for him to suddenlye to the supply area.
Previously, he only came after resigning from his position as a teacher at the sacrifice timeline.
Teachers were logistics talents. Those who could be teachers of top universities were not ordinary talents, but elites who had gone throughyers of screening.
Every teacher will spend their life cultivating arge number of talents of all types for the frontline supply area.
Usually, other than internships, no teacher would specifically go to the supply area. The staff of the hotel were also staff members who were affiliated with the supply area¡¯s supervision. It was normal to ask about his arrival.
The staff member asked about his situation mainly for his safety.
There was also a historical reason why staff members were so sensitive.
In the early stages of the cmity, talent was the most scarce. At that time, the territory that humans could live in was constantlypressed with the expansion of the domain fields. It was even worse than now.
At that time, arge group of hot-blooded teachers with the dream of saving the world would bring their students to the front line.
From the standpoint of ordinary individuals, this might seem passionate, but from a broader perspective, it was an exceedingly foolish course of action.
Teachers and students were the future of humanity.
The frontline warriors fought to the death to create a chance for humans to catch their breath and grow.
Taking the initiative to lead the students to the front line was undoubtedly exhausting the foundation of humanity. If arge number of teachers imitated them, it would kill the future of humanity.
Therefore, the staff members in the supply area would ask for the reason why such logistics talents came.
If they could not give a suitable reason, the staff members in the supply area would choose to send them back.
Faced with the staff member¡¯s question, Feng Qi immediately said that he was there for the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s research project.
The staff member did notpletely believe his words and called the leader to confirm the situation.
The Scarlet Research Institute was prepared for this.
The higher-ups on the other end of the line had received the notice and said that there was no problem.
After the small interlude, Feng Qi sessfully entered the hotel in the supply area near the airport.
After getting the room card and entering the room, he took out the tablet beside the television.
After turning on the tablet, it disyed a map of the supply area. The functions of the buildings in the various areas were clearly marked on it, as well as thetest news broadcast.
However, this tablet was not connected to thebat team system in the recruitment hall, so he did not check the relevant functions of thetest frontline mission.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
He had no intention of cooperating with the frontlinebat team this time.
However, he needed tools to go to sea.
After tapping on a nearby ship rental shop, the screen changed. Arge number of virtual models of ships and ships that could be rented recently appeared on the list.
On it were detailed models, tonnage, distribution weapons system, and so on.
All features could be viewed in detail by tapping on the model in the merchant list.
The ships listed were also models derived from scans. Even the paint and rusty screws on them showed no discernible differences.
After each lease was returned, it underwent a rescan to guarantee the uracy of the information.
The port of the east supply area was about 600 nautical miles away from the ck Absolute Domain Field. ording to the speed of an ordinary modified ship, it would take about a day to arrive.
If he swam across, it would evidently take more time, so having the tools to navigate the sea was crucial.
After a round of selection, Feng Qi chose a small modified ship.
After tapping on the rental appointment, relevant verification information appeared.
The Former Days Eastern Supply Area strictly prohibited ordinary people from going out to sea, including ordinary people who were once fishermen. All of this was for safety reasons.
After all, there were many domain transcendent creatures in the sea.
Unless they were domain warriors, ordinary people would only die if they encountered them.
Usually, newbies who had just be frontline warriors were in charge of fishing at sea.
In the previous timeline, when he and Fog had just be frontline warriors, they often took on fishing-rted missions to familiarize themselves with the situation in the frontline supply area.
After spending some effort toplete the registration, the screen showed a loading circle that was waiting to be verified.
A few minutester, the notification popped up.
Just as he was about to pay the deposit, he realized that the Scarlet Research Institute hadpleted the payment.
Now that the ship was ready, he only needed to wait for the rental unit¡¯s notice.
With nothing to do, he suddenly had the thought of eating a big meal..
Chapter 550 - 550: Revisiting the Old Ground (3)
Chapter 550: Revisiting the Old Ground (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he went to the hotel cafeteria. As soon as he sat down, an enthusiastic staff member arrived with the menu. Former Days City was a coastal city, and one of its specialties was seafood. It was thergest seafood supply point of the East Sea.
Each day, the seafood unloaded at the port would initially be allocated to the supply area, then to Former Days City, and finally dispatched to other major cities in exchange for supplies like ores, technological products, and the like.
He opened the menu, and a majority of the ingredients listed were various types of seafood.
Steamed ms with garlic, eel rice in sauce, spicy squid, steamed prawns¡ If it was any type of seafood found in the East Sea, it could be located on the menu.
Of course, there was no special seafood produced in the domain field on the menu.
The seafood produced by the domain field contained Spiritual Qi and was generally supplied to the various research institutes andbat teams. asionally, it would be provided to top universities for special events.
Only a small amount will flow into the private market.
The probability of ordinary people tasting the spiritual ingredients produced in the Domain Field was slim, and online shopping was generally in a shortage.
After all, considering the broader picture, the delectability of these ingredients was secondary. What held significance was the enhancement of one¡¯s physique through the consumption of such spiritual nourishment and the facilitation of various experiments.
After ordering a table of seafood, the staff member holding the tablet in charge of recording revealed a surprised expression.
The soldiers in the supply area could generally eat, but this was the first time they had seen someone eat so much.
However, the well-mannered staff did not say anything and immediately ced the order ording to Feng Qi¡¯s instructions.
While waiting, seafood delicacies from the supply area were served on the dining table.
These seafood had only been caught today; fresh and delicious.
Enhanced by various dipping sauces, the vors of the seafood were brought to life. Throughout this time, Feng Qi indulged in hearty eating, his satisfaction evident.
The mealsted more than an hour, and the table was filled with the remains of shellfish.
Satisfied, Feng Qi stood up to pay and returned to his room.
The notice of the rental unit had yet to arrive. Sitting on the sofa, he had nothing to do.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Since you¡¯re full, it¡¯s time to do something.]
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes and raise his middle finger at the narrator in his heart.
¡°It will only affect my focus.¡±
[You must regrly sharpen your sword, or it won¡¯t be effective. What¡¯s the point if it¡¯s not sharp? Watch out for rust.]
Feng Qi could not be bothered with the narrator.
He reached for the remote control and turned on the television.
There were very few entertainment programs in this era. Most of the television broadcasts were news about the front line, research institutes, or various learning channels.
Considering the looming threat of domain invasion over human civilization, engaging in entertainment would only be detrimental to all of humanity. There were no benefits.
Just as Lin Youshu, the founder of Star City Academy, had said.
There were strong and weak people. It was impossible for everyone to contribute to the future of humankind, but the most important thing was that the entire society had to have the spirit to work together.
This could be an inheritance engraved in the bones. Ordinary people could also be a part of the inheritance or even a ry.
Looking at the news broadcast, the banner below would asionally sh thetest news from the front line of the East Supply Area.
As he changed channels, a piece of news caught his attention.
The media reported that a group of elite volunteers had appeared in Former Days City to help residents in various aspects of the city.
What caught his attention was not this incident, but the fact that the clothes worn by this group of volunteers had the mark of the Dark God¡¯s statue.
He did not know if the Dark God Sect had joined the Spiritual Energy Race. However, through the news report, he knew that the development of the Dark God Sect had quietly begun in Former Days City.
He listened to the ¡°volunteers¡± express their thoughts modestly.
He suddenly found it a bit ludicrous. A significant number of demons hiding within human society were carrying out actions under the guise of justice. Their deeds might even elicit cheers from onlookers.
However, very few people knew that under their morous appearance was an endless abyss as ck as ink.
They used lies to shatter the true ¡°justice¡±. Then, they sent them to prison and to the guillotine to destroy everything.
At the thought of this, he suddenly thought of a passage in a movie.
The gun fired.
Did you see who fired the shot?
I couldn¡¯t see clearly. They were standing on the moral high ground, basking in the sunlight.
With these thoughts in his mind, Feng Qi gradually fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown period, a notification woke him up.
At this moment, he looked at the tablet that lit up beside him.
He reached out and held the tablet in front of him. Just as he had expected, the rental unit replied.
A message appeared on it.
[The modified ship No. 8 is ready. Location: Pier 6, Berth 5.]
Feng Qi stood up and began to pack his backpack.
There were not many items that he needed to carry. After taking out the clothes in his backpack, he only left behind hismunication device and mind-calming potions.
Before leaving, he looked at the time. It was already 10 p.m..
At this moment, he left the hotel.
The supply area was still well-lit. He noticed that it was drizzling outside, with snowkes mixed in the rain..
Chapter 551 - 551: Revisiting the Old Ground (4)

The sudden change in temperature did not affect Feng Qi at all.
As long as one¡¯s body was strong and immune to cold and heat, it would be spring all year round.
Next, he went to a shop near the hotel. He rented a car and headed straight to the port.
Two hourster, Feng Qi arrived at Pier 6.
After parking the car at the designated spot, Feng Qi got out of the car and went to Pier 6.
His gaze swept across the ships that were moored by the dock and bobbing up and down with the waves. He quickly found the beginner modified ship in Berth 5.
Before the rental unit informed him, they had already checked the ship. He did not need to check it again.
Upon reaching Berth 5, he released the mooring line and proceeded directly to the ship.
After a short period of adjustment, the ship slowly sailed out of the port and headed for the ck light screen at the end of the horizon.
It was not suitable to go out to sea today. The sea was turbulent.
Due to its smaller tonnage, the basic modified ship exhibited poor stability, swaying significantly with therge waves.
The waves incessantly crashed against the deck, and seawater had even seeped into the pilothouse. Combined with the sea breeze and asional snowkes striking the windows, it truly felt like the apocalypse during a natural disaster.
In the face of the power of nature, individuals seemed especially small.
However, Feng Qi was extremely calm in the face of this scene.
[After all, you¡¯ve already faced the real apocalypse. How can you be afraid of waves? At most, the ship will sink and you can still swim back!]
¡°And I still have to pay for the damages.¡±
¡°[You can wash dishes for the ship rental unit and leave after you repay them. As a morally upright savior, you surely wouldn¡¯t run away if you owe money, right?]
¡°Can¡¯t I ask the Scarlet Research Institute for help?¡±
Afterining, Feng Qi continued to steer the ship forward.
After several hours of sailing, the waves in the sea did not decrease but intensified.
The waves in front of him were like curtains that smashed heavily onto the modified ship, almost smashing the entire ship into the sea.
Fortunately, the quality of the modified ship was strong. It only trembled from the waves and did not have any major problems.
After sailing for a while, he could no longer see the pier in the east supply area.
All he could see was the undting waves.
At that moment, the ship seemed to hit something with a loud bang.
The rm sounded at this moment, and the sound of water entering the cabin sounded continuously.
The voice of the narrator appeared in his mind.
[Arge underwater creature has appeared. There¡¯s no doubt that it¡¯s a domain creature. It looks like we can¡¯t keep the ship. Let¡¯s prepare to pay our debts.]
Hearing the narration, Feng Qi¡¯s face darkened.
He did not expect to be targeted by the domain transcendent creatures before he entered the domain field.
Now that there was water in the cabin, and he had never learned how to repair the damage, he waspletely at a loss as to how to deal with it.
At this moment, he pressed the button to close the bottom cabin, trying to extend the ship¡¯s life.
[It¡¯sing!]
As soon as the narrator finished speaking, the ship was hit again. The entire ship flew out of the sea under a huge force.
The rm sounded again.
This made Feng Qi furious.
He walked out of the pilothouse at that moment and came to the edge of the foredeck.
He swept his gaze across the sea and saw huge scarlet eyes under the sea. The gigantic ck shadow almost enveloped the entire modified ship. He could see the faint scales on the surface of the huge beast in the sea.
[F*ck it up!]
Hearing those words, Feng Qi no longer hesitated and decisively jumped into the sea.
After entering the water, he saw the appearance of the sea beast clearly.
The sea beast was approximately 30 feet long with a lengthy tail, resembling arge lizard swiftly gliding underwater. In the blink of an eye, it plunged into the depths.
Before Feng Qi could react, the huge beast suddenly swayed its tail and appeared from the darkness at an extremely fast speed to attack him. Its open mouth was filled with sharp teeth.
Feng Qi activated his psychokinesis to try to dodge the bite, but before the psychokinesis could prate his body, he was bitten by it.
A terrifying bite force burst forth at this moment, and Feng Qi¡¯s body instantly tensed.
¡°Competing in strength?¡±
Resisting the huge beast¡¯s upper jaw, dark green mes instantly ignited in his eyes.
He was not good at underwaterbat, butpeting in strength was his forte.
The dark green mes ignored the surging seawater and spread throughout Feng Qi¡¯s body.
As his heart beat faster, the blood and Qi enveloped his body through his pores, constantly forming flesh and blood tissue.
As his body transformed, his strength began to rise.
He widened the beast¡¯s mouth bit by bit.
At this moment, the huge beast swung its tail and swam straight into the deep sea.
The water pressure continued to increase, and soon, the giant beast dived into an area where light could not reach.
Feng Qi opted to conclude the battle swiftly. He lowered his hand, releasing the upper jaw of the colossal beast. In response, it promptly snapped its jaws shut.
As he slid down the beast¡¯s throat, a strong pressure came from all directions.
The dark green mes ignited the organs in the giant beast¡¯s body. Corrosive ck spots appeared wherever the mes passed.
The giant beast¡¯s body began to tremble violently, and muffled roars of pain sounded continuously.
Feng Qi also started to destroy it.
As he punched and kicked his way forward, the voice of the narrator sounded in his mind from time to time.
[Kick its liver¡ Thrust its lungs¡ Deliver a fatal blow to its waist.]
Under his brutal onught, the massive beast¡¯s body rapidly deteriorated. The highly corrosive gastric juice had no effect on him in his Blood Source form.
Finally, he tore through the beast¡¯s body, violently fighting his way out..

The water pressure outside was extremely high, and there was no light. He could only see the giant beast¡¯s dim eyes.
Just as Feng Qi pondered the possibility of acquiring its innate ability by killing the domain creature in reality, a blood-colored fog with a red glow emerged in front of him and swiftly advanced, infiltrating his body.
At this moment, he felt a change in his body, and his skin felt numb.
He opened the attribute panel and switched to the information page. He realized that he had obtained a brand new ability.
[Water Skin (Upgrade Passive Ability)]:
Evaluation: Phase 1
Introduction: Increases the affinity of the water element and obtains the ability to breathe underwater freely. The effect will be enhanced when using water-element spells.
Obtaining a passive ability was an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, Feng Qi swam towards the surface with all his might.
After obtaining a new innate ability, he realized that his swimming speed had improved.
Being underwater, he had a strange feeling of fusing with nature. He no longer felt any difort.
When he swam out of the water, there was no sign of the modified ship outside.
All he could see was the undting waves.
[Oh my, the ship is gone¡ Let¡¯s not call the Scarlet Research Institute for help.
Real men should wash dishes every day to repay their debts.]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s ridicule, psychokinesis seeped out of his body and wrapped around his body.
He left the sea and floated in the sky.
He looked around and found the modified ship. At this moment, the modified ship had drifted very far away. There was only a ck dot in his vision.
He immediately flew towards the modified ship.
However, when he got closer, he realized that the modified ship had sunk halfway. The pilothouse was already submerged in seawater and was slowly sinking.
[Wash the dishes!]
¡°Shut up!¡±
At this moment, Feng Qi turned to look in the direction of the ck Absolute Domain Field.
There were only two choices in front of him.
First, he would turn back now and use another ship.
As for the damages, he didn¡¯t have to worry. He couldn¡¯t afford the high fees, but the Scarlet Research Institute didn¡¯tck money.
Secondly, he could continue to swim towards the ck Absolute Domain Field.
The journey was not even halfway through. If he continued swimming, it would definitely take more time.
But after thinking about it carefully, he decided to swim there.
Now that he had used the Blood Source form, he had to replenish his blood and Qi as soon as possible. Otherwise, without the support of the Blood Source, he would not be able to fight the humanoid leader even if he entered the ck Absolute Domain Field.
It was better to swim over and ughter some living creatures along the way.
At the thought of this, he retracted his psychokinesis and fell into the sea.
Before the Blood Source form ended, he immediately dove into the water and quickly moved his hands and feet underwater.
Without the help of the navigation system on the ship, he could not tell the direction underwater.
Therefore, every time he swam a distance, he had to jump out of the water and look at the location of the ck Absolute Domain Field.
The ck curtain symbolizing the ck Absolute Domain Field stretched to the sky, making it highly conspicuous. There was no need to worry about losing direction.
Feng Qi¡¯s underwater swim resembled that of a dolphin.
Swiftly swimming, he propelled himself out of the water, shaking his head to ascertain the direction. Then, he plunged back into the water, resuming his swim.
The Blood Source form dissipated 10 minutester, and he transformed into hisbat body form.
His swim speed suddenly decreased.
During this period, he looked around. As long as he saw any living creatures swimming, he would use psychokinesis to kill them and absorb their blood and Qi-
After swimming for an unknown period, Feng Qi gradually approached the ck curtain.
As the strength of the blood and Qi in his body continued to rise, he killed many sea creatures along the way. However, the blood and Qi he absorbed had yet to recover one-fifth of his peak.
However, he did not hesitate and immediately collided with the barrier of the ck Absolute Domain Field.
As he passed through the barrier, he felt a slight resistance, but the resistance quickly disappeared.
What appeared in front of him was a calm sea that waspletely different from the outside world. Looking into the distance, he could see the ck Absolute Ind at the end.
At this moment, he swam towards the ind with all his might.
Compared to the outside, the sea here was even more dangerous. There were arge number of predators wandering under the water.
They were huge.
The unfamiliar sea beasts quickly approached.
Seeing this, Feng Qi decisively started hunting.
After obtaining the innate ability ¡°Water Skin¡±, his movements underwater had significantly improved. He was not worried about being dragged to the bottom of the sea by the sea beasts.
Although thebat body form was not as powerful as the Blood Source form, it was not weak either.
His hard bones could easily tear through the skin of sea beasts.
The blood of the sea beasts quickly dyed the water red, causing more sea beasts to gather.
However, Feng Qi was not the only target of these sea beasts. The other sea beasts were also their targets. The surface of the sea was like boiling water, and the scene was very chaotic.
Relying on killing sea beasts, he quickly replenished the blood and Qi he had consumed.
The Blood Source ability was activated again.
After moving forward with difficulty for a while, he used his psyche power to float in the air and chose to fly forward.
However, the strength of his mental strength was limited. After flying for a while, he fell into the water again.
Fortunately, he had left the area where the sea beasts were biting and killing each other. It was much easier to continue swimming forward.
Finally, he approached ck Absolute Ind.
At the same login point, when he arrived at the previous sacrifice timeline, arge number of shipwrecks had been beached nearby.
It was the same as before.
This was rted to the fact that the ck Absolute Domain Field had yet to be included as a target by thebat team.
Slowly walking ashore, Feng Qi looked up at the moon in the sky and asked.
¡°Narrator, how long did it take me to get here?¡±
[It¡¯s been almost two days.]
After swimming at high speed for two days without sleep or rest and experiencing several battles, he was exhausted.
When he arrived at the white beach, he looked at the lush forest in front of him. Then, he chose to sit down and rest.
What followed would be a fierce battle.
Only by recovering to his peak state could he better hunt humanoid leaders and snatch the Miracle Bracelet..

Arriving at the shore, Feng Qi chose to sit down and rest.
After two days and two nights of high-intensity exercise, he was starting to feel a bit tired.????????????????????????
6
During the break, he took out a bottle of mind-calming potion from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in one gulp.
After a short frown, his mental consciousness felt as if it was soaked in warm water. It was veryfortable.
A few minutester, the feeling subsided. Feng Qi closed his eyes and began to conserve his energy.
At this moment, he had rxed his vignce against the outside world. He had also entered his sea of consciousness.
As for the possible dangers in the outside world, he was not worried.
No life form could escape the senses of the narrator andunch a sneak attack on him, including ckie.
As long as there was danger, the narrator would give him an early warning before the danger arrived. He had time to prepare in advance.
With a fierce battle imminent, Feng Qi decided to increase his strength so that he could be more confident in dealing with the uing battle.
Previously, in the future dream, he had killed arge number of domain creatures and obtained many innate abilities.
other than the Earth Elemental Resistance obtained from killing the stone giant, he didn¡¯t care about the other innate abilities since they didn¡¯t increase his strength at all.
Feng Qi categorized innate abilities into two types: passive and active.
He would keep the passive talents.
The traits of such abilities were that they did not need to be actively activated or used. They could bring benefits to the body at any time.
For example, the Resilience he first obtained had the effect of increasing his body¡¯s resilience.
This was a typical passive ability.
The other passive abilities were simr with their ability bonuses directly reflecting on his body.
As for active abilities, he would also keep them.
The traits of active abilities were that they needed to be actively triggered and re eased. At the same time, they would consume the blood and Qi in his body during the release.
This results in many active abilities interacting with each other.
For example, when he activated the Blood Source form, using other active a ihties that consumed the blood and Qi in his body would undoubtedly reduce the duration of the Blood Source form.
Therefore, having more active abilities didn¡¯t necessarily mean it was better. Combining an active innate ability that was suitable for hisbat style was the best choice in his eyes.
As for the unneeded active abilities, he could give them to Three Tails.
In the sacrifice timeline and on his way to the ck Absolute Ind he had killed many domain creatures.
These domain creatures gave him 11 new innate abilities.
other than the two passive innate abilities, Water Skin and Water Elemental
Resistance, he removed all the other innate ability beads.
¡°Three Tails!¡±
His consciousness emitted amunication ripple and connected with the
Miracle Token above the golden-red bead in the center of his sea of consciousness.
After a short wait, Three Tails¡¯ head appeared from the token and its entire body crawled out.
After looking around, it came to Feng Qi excitedly.
¡°Eat!¡±
As he spoke, Feng Qi handed the green innate ability beads to Three Tails.
Three Tails, ustomed to the dposition process, was reluctant, but it still opened its mouth and swallowed the green innate ability beads.
At this moment, its body flickered. After a short wait, Three Tails opened its mouth and spat out 13 small golden beads, which were innate ability points. Feng Qi handed over the second innate ability bead, then the third, the fourth and the ninth.
After counting thest batch of golden beads that it had dposed and spat out, he opened the attribute panel.
[Water Elemental Resistance, Water Skin, Stun, Poison, Purple Soul, Hard Skin Giant Force, Swift, Steel Bones, Thorns, Regeneration, Tough Teeth Evil ¡¯ Thoughts, Blood Source, Nightmare, Resilience, Elite Living dead: Feng Qi] Evaluation: Silver ¡ö Intermediate (under Blood Source form)
Mental Power: Weak
Bloodline: Human (Intermediate)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 7,805/10,000
Talent Points (Can be used for innate ability advancement): 267
Including the remaining talent points from before, his current talent points had reached 267 points.
He fell into deep thought as to how to use it.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to use his talent points to advance his Blood Source.
The Blood Source was the most practical ability at this stage. Moreover its growth potential was not low. Perhaps if it continued to advance, it could transform into the Dark God form.
Although he had only obtained one of the six origins of the Dark God itsbat power was very terrifying in itsplete form.
The formidablebat power that couldmand the wind and clouds with a wave of his hand remained vivid in his memory.
The end of the Blood Source¡¯s advancement might be the Dark God body form that he had experienced in the sacrifice timeline.
¡°[I¡¯ll rectify a misunderstanding: The trait of the Evolution Token is to break down innate abilities into ability origins. It can be used to nurture and advance various innate abilities. Essentially, as long as you have enough talent points there is no upper limit to any ability advancement.]
[This includes your bloodline ability. Even if you reach the Dark God form as long as you have enough talent points, this ability can still continue to increase.]
After listening to the narrator¡¯s analysis, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
¡°Isn¡¯t this a little illogical? I¡¯ve always thought that the main reason why talent points increase innate abilities is to continuously push the innate ability towards its strongest form. There¡¯s essentially a limit.¡±
[Your analysis is correct, but talent points are formed by the origin of innate abilities. Even if there¡¯s no path, you can create a path..]

[For example, when your Blood Source ability advances to the final form of a Dark God, there will be no path explored by others. At that time, the origin energy will automatically help you outline the subsequent trajectory and route find the most suitable path for you to advance, andplete the advancement.]
¡°It¡¯s that strong?!¡±
[Everything is constructed from the origin of rules. Spiritual Qi is only a derivative of the rules of heaven and earth. It looks like a ridiculous ability but as long as you understand the essence, you can exin the principle from a more scientific point of view.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi nodded in realization.
At this moment, the narrator spoke again.
[Perhaps there are many abilities that we can¡¯t exin because we don¡¯t understand the essence of this ability. For example, ckie¡¯s undying and indestructible, your spacetime travel, the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s Holy Spirit Consciousness Library, Qin Shikong¡¯s future deduction ability, and so on.] Feng Qi nodded in agreement with the narrator¡¯s analysis.
Everything was mysterious and unsolvable. They were all words that he did not understand.
Just like when humans explored the early stages of growth and ssified all unknown phenomena as superstition, when looking at these problems from the perspective of modern people, there was corresponding knowledge in their minds to exin.
He looked at his attributes panel again and began to strengthen his Blood Source ability.
The strengthening process was simple. He only needed to push the talent point -the golden talent bead-to the Blood Source ability bead.
The moment the ability bead came into contact with the Blood Source ability bead, it would be swallowed and digested in the blink of an eye.
As it continued to devour, the Blood Source ability bead changed.
The dark green me mark on the surface became clearer, and a thinyer of blood-colored fog appeared on the surface of the ability bead.
After counting the number of ability beads, he chose to continue feeding. Finally, when there were only 23 ability beads left, the Blood Source ability beadpleted another advancement.
He opened the attribute panel and began to check the changes in the Blood Source ability.
[Innate ability: Blood Source]
Evaluation: 0.01% of Level 7
Introduction: Condenses a Blood Core in the heart, significantly enhancing the e ficiency of the heart. This ability can be activated voluntarily. It rapidly drams the energy of the Blood Core to form an invincible Blood Source body explosively boostingbat strength. The effectiveness of this ability increases with the enhancement of one¡¯s blood and Qi strength.
After this upgrade, the Blood Source had reached the rating of Level 7. Feng Qi chose to add the remaining 23 ability beads to Purple Soul.
Afterpleting the advancement of his innate abilities, he opened his eyes. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and a red sun was slowly rising. He stood up and walked towards the rainforest.
As he hunted, the blood and Qi in his body had recovered to its peak state He did not have to worry about not being able to activate his Blood Source form.
He was fearless in the face of the uing challenge.
After entering the rainforest, the environment becameplicated. There was no normal route.
When he arrived at the ck Absolute Domain Field in the previous sacrifice timeline, there were already signs of a path leading to the interior of the ind However, this time, he was likely the first human to set foot in the ck Absolute Domain Field. The path further into the ind would need to be forged by him.
The interior of the rainforest was hot and humid, and the nts were dense. The branches and leaves of the towering trees along the way covered the sky The light could only fall through the gaps between the branches and leaves forming pirs of light that could be seen with the naked eye.
Fortunately, he had night vision, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about being unable to distinguish directions in the dim environment.
After walking for a while, he took out the navigation system from his backpack. As he had expected, the current ck Absolute Domain Field had yet topletely fuse with the world. There was no signal inside at all.
Next, he could only explore ording to his memories.
There were many vines in the rainforest, and they were scattered everywhere like spider webs. From time to time, he could hear the roars of beasts in the distance.
The environment here was quite different from what he remembered.
After all, many years had passed since he arrived here in the sacrifice timeline. At this point, if he continued to explore without a map or navigation, he would easily get lost and might get further away from his destination.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the narrator.
Every time before ckie arrived, the narrator would sense it in advance and remind him.
The narrator also said that it had extremely powerful range perception and exploration abilities.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately said.
¡°Narrator, get up and get to work.¡±
[Capitalist Ah Qi, may I ask¡ What instructions do you have for me? Can you give me a day off?]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯sints, he continued to ask.
¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll get lost if I go deeper. Use your search ability to scout the way and see if you can find a humanoid.¡±
The narrator did not answer and fell silent.
A momentter, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded again.
[Ding! Target ¡®Humanoid¡¯ detected. Head in the 3 o¡¯clock direction!]
At this moment, Feng Qi changed directions and walked in the direction mentioned by the narrator.
The terrain in the rainforest wasplicated. He leaped up and grabbed the vines hanging from the trees, trying to advance like Tarzan.
However, it turned out that this method was not good.
Just as he swung out to grab the second vine, he felt the vine in his hand lubricate like a loach. Right on the heels of that, a huge snake head bit his arm.
The dark green venom entered his body.
He decisively switched to hisbat body form and cut off the snake¡¯s head with a chop..

Under the invasion of external energy, the Purple Soul patterns branded on the surface of the bone were activated.
As hended on the ground, his heart kept spewing out dark green poisonous fog, expelling the poisonous gas that had been injected into his flesh.
He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. His mental power spread in the sky.
The world under his perception was especially clear.
What surprised him was that nearly one-fifth of the vines hanging down from the sky were disguises of various snakes.
Not wanting to waste time, he chose to continue on foot.
After another few hours, he came to a turbulent stream.
This ce was covered in cobblestones and had been trampled by the animals in the domain field. There were rtively few nts.
At this moment, in front of the stream, two huge ants covered in white fur were drinking water with their heads lowered.
Feng Qi did not choose to retreat and walked over.
The two giant white-haired ants lifted their heads vigntly, emitting a warning ¡°coo-coo¡± sound from their bodies.
Since they met, it was fate.
A momentter, Feng Qi stepped over the giant white ant that had been torn into several pieces and continued deeper into the rainforest.
He did not have any mercy for domain creatures.
He had always believed that showing kindness to the enemy was cruelty to himself.
Perhaps these creatures in these domains had be murderers who killed the frontline warriors when humans explored the ck Absolute Domain Field.
Since they had met, he would kill them if he could.
It was difficult for different races to stand on the same side. He and Fog were the only special cases on the sacrifice timeline.
Fog had once said something to him that left a deep impression on him.
It said that one should never be merciful to other races. The best way to respect and value other races was to kill them.
This sentence shocked him greatly at that time.
Come to think of it, wasn¡¯t it the same?
Why didn¡¯t the various domain factions lurking in human society care about the weak race alliance?
Other than using the weak race alliance to do things, they felt that these weak race alliances would not affect their future ns.
However, if it was a race with potential, they would definitely kill them all. They would not allow any race with the potential to rise.
Between races, there was only one way to value each other: kill them all.
As he continued deeper into the rainforest, the surrounding scenery changed.
More and more white-furred trees gradually appeared in front of him, and there were also many huge white-furred ants climbing on the trees.
He did not need to activate his Blood Source form to deal with them. He could easily defeat them in hisbat body form.
ording to the narrator, he kept changing the direction. After walking for an unknown period, his vision gradually became brighter.
When he walked out of the white rainforest, what appeared in front of him was a torrential waterfall. Below him was a clearke in the rainforest.
On the right side of the innerke, there was arge camp.
There were wooden buildings inside, and there were many corpses of animals in the rainforest hanging outside the camp.
This was his destination, the humanoid territory.
He did not kill his way into the camp. He nned to hide in the vicinity for a period to observe the situation. It would be best if he could wait for the humanoid leader to leave the camp.
This way, when he snatched the Miracle Bracelet, the pressure on him would be much less.
[What if the Miracle Bracelet is not in the hands of the humanoid leader? After all, the sacrifice timeline ispletely different from the current timeline.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
He had never thought about this problem. Thinking about it carefully, it was entirely possible.
After all, time could change many things.
What existed in the future did not mean that it would definitely exist now.
[Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already checked. The Miracle Bracelet is in the camp.]
¡°Then what did you mean by those words just now?¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but re.
[I didn¡¯t mean anything else. I just want to scare you on purpose.]
He couldn¡¯t help but raise his middle finger at the always despicable narrator.
The narrator¡¯s affirmative answer reassured him.
For the rest of the time, he chose to hide in the nearby bushes and observe the situation in the humanoid camp at all times, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
During this period, humanoid warriors would leave the camp from time to time and enter the rainforest.
There were also humanoid warriors who returned from the rainforest with their prey. Then, they dealt with the prey by the innerke, washing and skinning them.
The clothes worn by the humanoid warriors were also made of animal fur.
Time passed as he waited, but the humanoid leader showed no signs of going out.
He did not know how long he would have to wait.
Feng Qi immediately had the thought of taking the initiative to attack and probe.
[A real man should strike hard. Indecision is a sissy act.]
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi stood up from the bushes and ran straight to the humanoid camp.
As he ran, his body was gradually enveloped by the blood-colored fog, and his figure quickly rose.
Finally, when he was about 60 feet away from the humanoid camp, he jumped up. His body grew to more than 15 feet in the air, and the dark green mes burning on his body were even more exuberant and demonic than before.
At this moment, the humanoid warriors guarding the camp had noticed him. They blew the conch-like tool in their hands.
Amidst the series of warnings, the humanoid camp became quite morous.
Arge number of humanoid warriors began to gather at the entrance of the camp.
At this moment, Feng Qi¡¯s huge body smashed heavily against the entrance of the humanoid camp as he rushed in.
¡°Narrator, where is it?¡±

[At your 1 o¡¯clock, kill!]
With a wave of his hand, he sent several humanoid warriors flying. He ran in the direction pointed by the narrator.
He barged along the way. The humanoid warriors could not resist his charge at
All kinds of weapons smashed into his body, but they could not even leave a trace on his skin.
Soon, he arrived in front of the wooden house pointed out by the narrator and knocked into it with all his might.
As wood chips flew, he saw the humanoid leader and grabbed its neck.
The humanoid leader reacted quickly. It raised its left hand that was wearing the Miracle Bracelet.
In an instant, a huge humanoid shadow stood in front of Feng Qi and reached out to catch his palm.
A terrifying power burst out of his body. He suddenly raised his hand and pped the humanoid shadow away.
As he roared, he pounced at the humanoid leader again.
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, the humanoid leader raised the Miracle Bracelet once again. Instantly, the ground loosened, and a plethora of vines surged forth. They swiftly coiled around Feng Qi, gradually constricting, attempting to strangle him.
Faced with the vines, a sinister smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
At this moment, the dark green mes ignited the vines that crawled out of the ground and burned them, leaving ck corrosive marks on the vines.
His body tensed up and he suddenly erupted.
The vines shattered inch by inch under his terrifying strength and scattered in all directions.
Looking at the frightened humanoid leader who had retreated far away, Feng Qi stretched out his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture at the humanoid leader. The dark green mes in his eyes erupted.
The ground beneath his feet sank and formed a pit. His figure was like a burning tiger as he pounced on the humanoid leader.
At this moment, several trajectories appeared in front of the humanoid leader and quickly outlined themselves.
As the ground trembled, more vines grew out like green snakes that swept towards him.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t back down; he surged forward with unstoppable momentum. The vines that came into contact with his body quickly withered under the calcination of the dark green mes, then turned into ashes and dissipated. Seeing this scene, a trace of hostility appeared in the humanoid leader¡¯s eyes It raised the Miracle Bracelet on its left arm again. At this moment, the humanoid shadow appeared in front of Feng Qi out of thin air and embraced him.
The green vines kept intertwining and wrapping around him and the humanoid shadow, forming a vine cage.
After a short exchange, he realized that the humanoid leader¡¯sbat strength was far inferior to the previous timeline. It was not his match at all.
Facing the vines, his heart beat faster.
The surging blood and Qi spread throughout his body as his heart beat. The dark green mes on his body burned even more ferociously.
Although the dark green mes could not ignite the humanoid phantom formed purely from the power of faith, they ignited the vine cage through the gaps.
As mes rose, the vine cage quickly disintegrated.
The humanoid leader¡¯s attack waspletely countered by his bloodline form. The vines that had killed arge number of human warriors in the previous timeline could not even break through his surface defense.
Spat!
He spat out a ball of dark green mes from his mouth, and his strength rose again, slowly encircling the humanoid phantom.
Turning to look at the terrified humanoid leader, Feng Qi smiled sinisterly.
The anger in his heart had also been vented quite a bit in the battle.
The humanoid leader¡¯s expression turned ugly when it saw this. It roared, and arge number of humanoid warriors around it immediately threw throwing weapons at him.
However, the quality of these weapons was weak. Before they coulde into contact with his body, the sharp ends were melted by the surging dark green mes on the surface of his body, unable to cause him any harm.
Seeing this, the humanoid leader roared again.
Immediately, a huge tiger jumped out from the depths of the camp and arrived beside the humanoid leader in a few steps.
[It¡¯s getting away!]
Just as the narrator said, the humanoid leader jumped onto the tiger¡¯s back and ran into the distant rainforest without looking back.
Seeing this, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but let out a roar. He forcefully broke free from the restraints of the humanoid shadow and pounced in the direction where the humanoid leader fled. He barged along the way, sending arge number of humanoid warriors flying.
Looking at the huge tiger that had entered the rainforest, he increased his speed.
Seeing the humanoid leader escape, he was depressed.
Compared to the domain creatures that only knew how to attack brainlessly in the future dream, the characteristic of intelligent domain creatures was that they would not fight to the death in battle. Once they realized that their opponents were invincible, they would escape decisively.
He calcted that there were still about eight minutes before the Blood Source dissipated.
He had to kill the humanoid leader within eight minutes. Otherwise, he could only retreat and find other opportunities.
At this moment, his heart was like an engine that had stepped on the elerator, emitting a roar.
His running speed suddenly increased. Wherever he passed, he left behind a deep pit in the ground. Every leap covered more than 60 feet.
He was getting closer to the giant tiger. Just as Feng Qi was about to attack the humanoid leader suddenly leaped from the back of the giant tiger and raised its left hand.
A phantom appeared out of thin air, caught it, and quickly flew away with it. The massive tiger beneath it came to a halt. After sliding a few feet due to inertia, it abruptly turned around and lunged at Feng Qi.
At this moment, he clenched his fist which was burning with dark green mes, and attacked the huge tiger.
Boom!
Apanied by the giant tiger¡¯s cries, its head caved in, and its body was sent flying. It only came to a stop after crashing through several trees..

Fresh blood continued to flow down its forehead. At this moment, the huge tiger let out a roar and chose to pounce on Feng Qi again.
Looking at the humanoid leader who was fleeing, Feng Qi made up his mind. At this moment, he caught the huge tiger that pounced on him and used the momentum to m it to the ground. His right leg, which was ready to attack, kicked the huge tiger¡¯s head heavily.
Boom!
The huge tiger was sent flying again. Its head was badly mangled from the violent kick and itpletely lost the ability to resist.
Without staying for long, Feng Qi ran in the direction where the humanoid leader had left.
Relying on the narrator to provide the coordinates, the humanoid leader quickly appeared in his line of sight again.
At this moment, it was surrounded by a phantom and was flying towards the coast.
Under the high load, the blood and Qi consumption in his body increased. The duration of the Blood Source was shorter than usual. He had to end the battle quickly.
At this moment, psychokinesis seeped out of its body and approached the humanoid leader in his line of sight, dragging its body.
The strength of psychokinesis was limited. Clearly, it could not restrain the humanoid leader.
However, what he wanted was to slow down the humanoid leader so that he could create an opportunity to kill it.
This move was indeed effective. The humanoid leader slowed down.
As he got closer and closer, Feng Qi let out a furious roar. The ground under his feet sank under the impact. He jumped up and pounced at the humanoid leader.
After leaping for a distance, he grabbed the phantom and punched the humanoid leader¡¯s shoulder.
Crack!
The crisp sound of breaking bones resonated. The phantom also quivered shifting between reality and illusion, disying extreme instability.
The humanoid leader, who had suffered a heavy blow, let out a scream and almost fell from the phantom.
However, it swiftly adjusted its condition, gritting its teeth as it maneuvered the phantom to attempt to dislodge Feng Qi from its body.
He was only one step away from victory. How could Feng Qi let go?
The illusory figure¡¯s hands continued to strike his body. Enduring the pain, a fierce smile appeared on his face as he ascended to the humanoid leader.
At this moment, the humanoid leader exerted strength under its feet and tried to jump down from the phantom.
However, just as its feet left the phantom, Feng Qi activated psychokinesis to restrain the humanoid leader.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed the humanoid leader¡¯s neck. Veins slowly appeared on his right arm, and he began to withdraw his strength. The humanoid leader struggled violently, its red face looking abnormally painful.
The continuous sound of colliding bones echoed. The humanoid leader¡¯s resistance gradually waned, and at that moment, the phantom of faith dissipated.
The moment hended, Feng Qi pressed the humanoid leader to the ground. Boom!
Violent power poured out, and the humanoid leader¡¯s body sank into the soil.
At this moment, he grabbed the humanoid leader¡¯s body and mmed it against a tree at the side.
The huge tree fell with a bang, and the humanoid leader lost the ability to resist.
Feng Qi walked up to the humanoid leader expressionlessly.
He sentenced the humanoid leader to death by another punch.
Before the humanoid leader died, he captured arge amount of memory information.
In these memories, he saw the growth history of a stubborn kid. After obtaining the Miracle Bracelet, it grew from a low-level nsman that its nsmen did not think highly of to a leader.
Boom!
Apanied by the sound of bones shattering, the humanoid leader lost its life.
A ball of rich blood and Qi appeared from its body and entered Feng Qi¡¯s body. He reached out and pulled off the Miracle Bracelet on the humanoid leader¡¯s left wrist, holding it in his hand.
After scanning his surroundings, he saw the white beach in front of him through the gaps in the branches and leaves. Unknowingly, he had run back to the beach.
He pushed aside the dense leaves that blocked his vision and walked to the beach.
His body had endured a high burden during the chase. At this moment, he felt exhausted.
After panting for a moment, his Blood Source form dissipated, turning into blood-colored fog that vanished with the wind. He returned to hisbat body form.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger.
In hisbat body form, there were no organs other than his heart, but he still felt hungry.
This feeling was mainly because his body urgently needed energy replenishment.
It was like every time he returned from a future dream, he would feel famished.
As his body¡¯s strength increased, the energy consumption that supported the cirction of his body would also increase.
Wearing the Miracle Bracelet on his right wrist, he stood on the spot and rested
for a moment before casting his gaze at the blue sea in front of him.
When he reached the beach, he jumped into the water.
Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
There was a bonfire on the beach. Feng Qi, who had absorbed the blood and Qi of the sea beasts and recovered his human form, was looking at the sea beasts roasted on the bonfire with anticipation.
[How hungry are you? You¡¯re drooling.]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s question, he stared fixedly at the sea beast on the bonfire. From time to time, he would turn the wooden stick around and flip the sea beast over.
Amid the sizzling sound, the rich fragrance kept tempting the glutton in his body.
The body of a sea beast was very tough, and it would take a lot of time to cook itpletely. However, Feng Qi could no longer wait. At this moment, he reached out and tore off a chunk of meat from the sea beast.
Ignoring the heat, he stuffed the meat into his mouth.
The delicate meat that he had never tasted before made his eyes widen.
¡°Delicious!¡±
As he spoke, he tore off another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
[It seems really delicious. I want to eat it too.]
[F*ck, I¡¯m so angry just thinking about it. Why don¡¯t I have a physical body? So
I¡¯m just a worker who doesn¡¯t earn anything?]
¡°Here, this piece of meat is for you. Come and eat it.¡± Feng Qi took the initiative to cause trouble.
[You¡¯re gloating, huh? I think it¡¯s time to end the cultivation n. It¡¯s time for
me to possess your body!]
The smile on Feng Qi¡¯s face froze when he heard this.
Seeing Feng Qi¡¯s reaction, it was the narrator¡¯s turn tough..

East Sea, ck Absolute Domain Field.
On the shore.
The sky gradually brightened.
The bonfire had been extinguished, and wisps of white smoke were still rising from the carbon fire in the ashes.
The sea beast that was roasted on the grill was eaten by Feng Qi, leaving only
its skeleton.
At this moment, Feng Qi was lying t on the white beach, staring straight at
the blue sky.
After a long time, he turned around and jumped up, looking at the dense rainforest.
He had obtained the Miracle Bracelet andpleted the mission toe to the
ck Absolute Domain Field.
Next, he only needed to bring the Miracle Bracelet back to the Scarlet Research
Institute and get the Scarlet Research Institute to help build a statue.
At that time, he could worship the statue and establish a spiritual connection with himself by bing a believer.
However, when he killed the humanoid leader, his Nightmare ability allowed him to obtain many memory fragments of the humanoid leader.
One of the scenes described the broken scene of the humanoid leader making a statue for itself.
He felt that he might be able to head to the humanoid camp again to find the statue and bring it back to the Scarlet Research Institute for research.
Perhaps it could help him in his next n to build a statue.
With the humanoid leader now deceased, even though there remained a considerable number of warriors in the humanoid camp, as long as he was in the Blood Source form, no matter how many humanoid warriors there were, they couldn¡¯t breach his defense.
He did not need to worry about his own safety.
[That¡¯s a good idea. As for how to build a statue, you and Fog only figured out some principles in the previous timeline, but you didn¡¯t put it into practice. It¡¯s better to move the finished statue back and study it.]
After listening to the narrator¡¯s analysis, Feng Qi nodded.
¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you to find the statue.¡±
[I refuse!]
He understood the narrator very well.
It neverpromised verbally, but when it came to practical matters, it was always very reliable.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face. Then, he walked into the rainforest.
After a night of rest, he hadpletely recovered.
Hunting sea beasts had also replenished the depleted blood and Qi in his body.
Now, he had the ability to kill his way into the humanoid camp.
Entering the dense rainforest, he began to follow the route he remembered.
This time, there was no need for the narrator to point the way. The path forward was very clear.
As he pursued the humanoid leader, he left behind a multitude of deep footprints. During the chase, he even toppled a significant number of trees along the way.
As long as he followed these traces, he could return to the humanoid camp.
After spending some effort, he passed through the dense rainforest. What appeared in front of him was a familiar waterfall andke, as well as a human-like camp beside theke.
At this moment, the human-like camp was very busy. Arge number of figures were carrying tools and moving around, cleaning up the damaged buildings.
Taking a deep breath, he leaped up and charged towards the humanoid camp again.
His appearance quickly attracted the attention of the humanoid warriors in charge of sending out sentries. It immediately blew the ¡°horn¡± in its hand.
Looking at the humanoid warriors gathering in front of the base, Feng Qi was fearless.
The Blood Source form was activated at this moment.
He gradually increased his running speed and jumped up when he approached the entrance of the humanoid camp. His figure quickly streaked across the air andnded heavily in the camp.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[The statue that the humanoid leader crafted for itself is located in thergest wooden house at your 10 o¡¯clock!]
He turned to look in that direction.
As he scanned the area, he locked onto thergest wooden building.
The moment he exerted strength under his feet, the ground sank with a bang.
His figure shot towards the wooden building like a cannonball.
He closed the distance of more than 300 feet in just a few steps.
He crashed into the wooden building.
Although it was a wooden building, the materials used to build it were all spiritual materials from the rainforest. Its hardness was not inferior to ordinary steel.
However, they were unable to withstand a single blow from Feng Qi¡¯s powerful physical strength.
Entering the wooden house, he saw arge number of sacrificial vessels neatly ced in front of him. Many of the vessels still had traces of blood on them, and an unpleasant smell filled his nose.
In addition to the sacrificial vessels, there were also arge number of specimens of wild beast heads hanging in the room.
They were like spoils of war that had be the decoration of this sacrificial building. Different warrior marks were engraved on the foreheads of each beast¡¯s head as if to distinguish the identity of the warriors who hunted them.
It could be seen that every beast¡¯s background was extraordinary. They could be hung here as glory.
After sweeping his gaze around, he locked onto the statue not far away.
The statue was approximately two feet tall and carved from jade. Upon closer inspection, it bore a slight resemnce to a humanoid leader, though the features of its face were not very distinct.
There was no need for the narrator to remind him. He was certain that this statue was the purpose of his trip.
At this moment, he took a step forward and picked up the statue.
Although the statue was only about two feet tall, the jade used to forge it was dense and heavy.
However, in front of Feng Qi in his Blood Source form, the weight of the statue was nothing.
Without needing to umte strength, he lifted the jade statue easily.
As he turned around, he saw arge number of humanoid warriors surrounding the path.
He calcted the remaining time of the Blood Source and decided to have a fun time with these humanoid warriors before leaving.
With each humanoid warrior killed, it would be less dangerous for humans to explore the ck Absolute Domain Field in the future.
He did not feel the slightest burden in killing humanoid warriors..

At this moment, he stepped forward like a bull charging into a group of humanoid warriors. His waving left hand was like the scythe of the god of death. Every swing sent a humanoid warrior nearby flying, spitting out blood and dying.
In the face of absolute strength, offense was the best defense.
just like that, Feng Qi forced his way through, fighting his way from the sacrificial building to the entrance of the humanoid camp.
It presented a bloody back view to the humanoid warriors.
In the future, this figure would often materialize in their dreams. The mes of hell, the bloody visage, the fierce countenance, and the unparalleled strength of this figure became an indistinct presence in the hearts of the humanoid warriors.
His figure quickly shuttled through the rainforest. Before the Blood Source
form dissipated, he began to run with all his might.
During this time, the narrator guided him towards the coast where he firstnded.
The Blood Source form dissipated after four minutes, and he transformed into hisbat body form.
But Feng Qi did not stop.
Along the way, he cut some vines and wrapped them tightly around the statue before binding it to his back. Then, he ced his backpack in front of his chest and freed his hands to deal with any danger that might appear along the way.
Finally, a few hourster, he heard the sound of waves hitting the beach. Pushing aside the dense leaves that blocked his vision, he saw a familiar beach scene.
When he arrived at the beach, the sea breeze blew against his face. He looked up at the blue sky, just like his current mood.
Although the process of obtaining the Miracle Bracelet was a littleplicated, it was very smooth.
The main reason was that he did not expect that the humanoid leader¡¯s strength at this stage was far inferior to the sacrifice timeline and was easily killed by him.
It couldn¡¯t even use the ¡°Death Curse¡± that gave the owner of the fog a headache back then.
[You¡¯re not afraid even if it uses it. After all, you have the magic immunity ability, Purple Soul. Most of the damage will be negated by you.] Feng Qi grinned. This was also one of the reasons why he dared toe alone. With Purple Soul protecting his body, any energy-type attack would be greatly weakened. Coupled with his powerful self-recovery ability, the Death Curse was nothing.
He stood by the shore and rested for a moment before carrying the statue into the water.
The waves crashed against his body. He walked deeper into the sea until his body waspletely covered by the seawater.
Swimming with a heavy statue on his back greatly affected his speed.
However, the statue was important, so he would not give up.
After swimming for a distance, just as Feng Qi had expected, he was quickly attacked by sea beasts.
These sea beasts were simr to those brainless domain creatures in the future dream. They would not judge the strength of the enemy at all. As long as they determined that the other party was prey, they would attack without thinking.
After obtaining the ¡°Water Skin¡± ability, his underwater mobility increased greatly. However, it was inconvenient to carry the statue into battle. He also had to protect the statue from the sea beasts.
As he fought his way forward, it took him three times as long to reach the barrier of the ck Absolute Domain Field.
After a slight resistance, he passed through the barrier and arrived outside. In the outside world, other than domain transcendent creatures, he did not need to face the harassment of groups of sea beasts.
At this moment, he opened his special backpack that was waterproof, fireproof, and collision-proof. He took out amunication device as thick as a brick and called the Scarlet Research Institute.
It wasn¡¯t Wei Wei who answered the phone.
He said that he was safe and hung up after saying that the mission waspleted.
Next, he took out the navigation system from his backpack.
The navigation system was a palm-sized screen. After activating it, one could urately locate the location. Other than those domains that were interfered with by different rules, one would not lose their way no matter where they were.
After a short wait, the screen lit up and his coordinates appeared on the screen. He switched to his human form to touch the screen. After zooming in on the location map, he confirmed the location of the port in the east supply area. After putting the things back into his backpack, he began to swim with all his might.
Under the influence of the statue¡¯s weight, his swimming speed was much slower than when he came.
Finally, two and a half dayster, he swam back to the dock.
After going ashore, he carried the statue back to his hotel room. After putting down the statue, he took a shower and changed his clothes. Then, he went straight to the modified ship rental unit.
He had to take responsibility for the sinking of the modified ship.
After exining the situation to the staff, he contacted the Scarlet Research Institute.
It was unrealistic for him to use his savings topensate for the damaged ship, let alone pay off the debt as the narrator had said. The Scarlet Research Institute had to do this.
To the Scarlet Research Institute, the damages for the modified ship were insignificant.
The research institute, which pooled resources from an entire city, consumed a variety of spiritual materials and other resources daily. The expenditure amounted to an astronomical figure, with the cost of a modified ship being insufficient to cover the daily expenses of the cafeteria.
After spending half an hour settling the procedures, the Scarlet Research Institute paid thepensation through a transfer.
After returning to the hotel, he went to the cafeteria.
He had not eaten for the past two days.
Coupled with the high-intensity exercise, he felt hungry and only wanted to eat a big meal before he left.
When he arrived at the hotel cafeteria, he ordered a full dining table of seafood. Although ordinary seafood was not as delicious as sea beasts, it was still a form of enjoyment to eat when famished.
The eight types of dipping sauces were arranged in front of the table, and he began to eat.
He never cared about table manners.
The nearby diners were surprised by his appetite, but their table manners weren¡¯t much better..

Apart from the staff, most of the people who stayed in the frontline supply area were frontline warriors. They often ate and slept in the open.
Especially in the domain field, the most important thing was to eat quickly and not waste too much time eating.
Many warriors had developed the habit of eating quickly.
After paying for the seafood feast, he returned to his room.
Then, he fell onto the soft bed and fell asleep in a few breaths without covering himself with a nket.
After an unknown period, when Feng Qi woke up again, the sky outside the window was dark.
He got up from the bed and walked to the sofa. He took out themunicator in his backpack and called the Scarlet Research Institute.
After waiting for a while, the staff of the Scarlet Research Institute picked up the call.
After exining that he was preparing to return, the Scarlet Research Institute said that they would send a private ne to receive him.
Putting down themunicator, Feng Qi sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
There was still some time before the ne arrived. He began to think about what to do next.
At this moment, he cast his gaze at the statue of the humanoid leader.
Two dayster, at the airport of the Former Days Eastern Supply Area.
With the roar of the ne¡¯s engine, the private ne stopped in front of Feng Qi.
As the cabin door opened, Feng Qi walked into the ne along the lowered gangway.
When the staff member inside saw him, he nodded respectfully. Then, he picked up themunicator beside him and began tomunicate with the pilot.
After confirming the situation, the private ne put away the staircase and slowly took off along the runway.
Looking at the shrinking scenery outside the window, Feng Qi knew that this stop was over. Next, in addition to studying the statue, he had to start preparing for the next sacrifice timeline.
If he could establish a spiritual faith connection with himself and transmit power through this connection, he wouldunch a strong attack in the next sacrifice timeline.
He would investigate using violent means and look at the future changes 1500 yearster.
Thinking about it, the private ne flew higher and higher, passing through the thick clouds.
Two dayster, the private nended on the tarmac of the Scarlet Research Institute.
When the cabin door opened, Feng Qi walked down the gangway.
Wei Wei was waiting not far away.
She was still wearing the familiar researcher¡¯s uniform. It seemed that he had never seen Wei Wei in other clothes.
She was always wearing the same uniform with her hair tied up.
However, even though she was dressed like this, he still couldn¡¯t resist Wei Wei¡¯s feminine charm.
This was a woman dedicated to scientific research. Like him, she also envisioned an ideal future for human civilization.
For this dream, she did not stop at every timeline and worked hard toplete research projects.
To describe Wei Wei in one sentence, he felt that it could be described as ¡°Mysterious and admirable.¡±
When he thought about how Wei Wei¡¯sst words were only to eat spicy crayfish in the many sacrifice timelines, he felt an inexplicable heartache.
This carefree woman was always optimistic on the outside, but she suppressed all the pain in her heart and endured it alone.
¡°Sister Wei, I¡¯m d to see you.¡± Feng Qi took a few steps forward and greeted Wei Wei with a smile.
Hearing this, a charming smile appeared on Wei Wei¡¯s face.
¡°Compared to you, I¡¯m more interested in the Miracle Bracelet on your wrist and the statue behind you. I can¡¯t wait to start researching..¡±

Chapter 561: Mental Crystal (1)

Star City, Scarlet Research Institute.
On the day he returned to the Scarlet Research Institute, Feng Qi began working with Wei Wei to study the jade statue.
Although he said that he was working, he was mainly watching from the side. Wei Wei did not need his help at all.
In just half a day, the material information of the jade statue was detected by the instrument.
The test listed the various attributes of the jade material in detail.
It included thermal properties, mechanical properties (stic modulus, tensile strength, hedging strength, yield strength, fatigue resistance strength, etc.), electrical properties, maic properties, optical properties, chemical properties, etc.
Other than that, there was also the internal Spiritual Qi content, the quality of
the Spiritual Qi, and so on.
What was certain was that there was no record of the jade materials used to create the statue in the current database.
The main reason was also because the ck Absolute Domain Field was not listed as a target by thebat team. Therefore, the spiritual materials produced internally were not recorded in the database.
The materials were secondary. The test this time was mainly to see if using such jade materials to build a statue could help establish a connection of faith. After many tests, he was basically certain that the jade materials were ordinary spiritual materials and nothing special.
Afterpleting the test, Wei Wei personally dismantled the jade statue.
This dismantling proved the guess given by the owner of the fog in the previous timeline.
There was a blood-colored crystal inside the statue. This blood-colored crystal was the key to collecting faith. It was mainly made from the blood of the humanoid leader mixed with mental power crystals.
This crystal was like a transit station.
The power of faith contributed by the believers would be absorbed by the crystal and remotely absorbed into the holder¡¯s body by the Miracle Bracelet, establishing a spiritual connection with the believers.
It did not seem difficult to replicate and create a statue.
The next morning, after breakfast, Feng Qi followed Wei Wei to Laboratory 11. Laboratory 11 was situated on the west side of the base, covering an area of more than 10,000 square feet. Along the way, there were numerous outdated scientific equipment.
Feng Qi had seen one of the instruments in the textbook.
This was an old instrument covered in rust called the ¡°Light of Spiritual Qi¡± in the textbook. It had contributed greatly to the development of human cultivation.
This instrument originated from the early days of the cmity. At that time, humans were still ignorant of cultivation.
At that time, facing the invasion of the domain fields, humans were forced to retreat step by step. They had no chance of winning.
It was also at that time that humans proposed rune modification and Spiritual
Qi cultivation.
Due to the high risks involved, it was easy for the modified person to lose control and die. Cultivation studies became popr at that time.
However, the study of Spiritual Qi cultivation faced a very serious challenge. Through the scientific research equipment, they discovered that there was a mysterious energy substance, Spiritual Qi, in the world.
However, the human schrs were at a loss as to how to absorb the Spiritual Qi particles that were drifting between heaven and earth.
In fact, breathing could also absorb Spiritual Qi, but this absorption efficiency could not allow one to grow quickly.
For this reason, schrs worked day and night. In the end, the first ¡°Light of Spiritual Qi¡± was born in the Victory Research Institute.
The primary function of this instrument was to absorb the high-powered Spiritual Qi particles roaming in the world andpress them into ¡°spirit bricks,¡± condensing the invisible Spiritual Qi into bricks visible to the naked eye.
The early cultivators had yet to figure out the cultivation path. Before creating a vortex in their bodies to absorb Spiritual Qi, they mainly relied on consuming spiritual bricks to absorb Spiritual Qi.
It could be said that this old instrument was the first step in human exploration and cultivation.
It was a milestone.
The content of the textbook would change every year, but the creators behind this ¡°Light of Spiritual Qi¡± would always be the first to understand the content of cultivation.
He followed Wei Wei to the northern corner of Laboratory 11. What came into view was a 15-feetrge instrument. The appearance of this instrument was highly technological, entirely in blue.
Through the transparent ss outside, one could see a seat inside the instrument. Above it was an interface cap used to connect to the brain.
-What is this?¡± Feng Qi stood in front of the device and asked Wei Wei curiously.
¡°Mental Light,¡± Wei Wei replied with a smile.
¡°I¡¯ve only heard of the Light of Spiritual Qi. What¡¯s the Light of Mental Power?¡± ¡°This instrument was also developed by the Victory Research Institute. The original idea of building this instrument was the same as when creating the Light of Spiritual Qi. At that time, humans had limited understanding of the spiritual domain, and their understanding of spiritual power was almost nonexistent. The main purpose of this instrument was to collect mental power and materialize it.¡±
After hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood why the former had brought him here.
At this stage, the method of creating the statue was very clear.
He needed to fuse his blood with the mental power crystal and imnt it into the statue.
The problem was how to create a mental power crystal.
He had asked the narrator this question before.
The narrator exined that as long as one¡¯s mental power was strong enough, one could extend their mental power outside one¡¯s body and effortlesslypress it into a mental crystal bearing one¡¯s mental mark.
However, this method was not applicable to him. His mental strength was not strong to this extent.
However, he did not expect the Scarlet Research Institute to have equipment to solve this problem..

At this moment, Wei Wei¡¯s voice interrupted his thoughts.
¡°Go in first. Ill exin the next steps to you in detail.¡±
Hearing this, he immediately nodded. Then, he pushed open the ss door and came to the inside of the instrument. He sat down on the chair.
At this moment, Wei Wei walked into the device.
With her help, Feng Qi first put on clothes filled with sensors. Then, he put on the helmet apparatus and pasted ck sensors on his temples.
¡°When you activate the deviceter, you only need to focus. The device will
assist in extracting the mental fluctuations you release.¡±
¡°Got it.¡±
Wei Wei left the instrument and went to the control panel at the side. She pressed the start button.
The ¡°Light of Mental Power¡± seemed to have not been used for a long time.
After it was activated, the entire instrument trembled slightly.
At this moment, a projection panel appeared on the transparent ss in front of Feng Qi. On it was the real-time feedback of the auxiliary control panel.
As Wei Wei operated the control panel, a progress bar appeared on the ss projection.
[Mental Debugging Match Progress: 1%]
As Wei Wei operated the control panel, the progress bar kept growing. Soon, it reached 98%.
However, thest 2% took half an hour of debugging before it reached a 100% mental match.
At this moment, Wei Wei pressed the extract button.
After a slight tremble, the instrument entered a stable operating phase. One could hear a faint buzzing sounding from inside.
¡°Concentrate!¡±
Wei Wei reminded him.
At this moment, Feng Qi focused and began to release his mental power.
Right on the heels of that, he felt that his mental power was rapidly disappearing, apanied by a wonderful feeling simr to weightlessness. ¡°Continue to concentrate. Let me know if you feel a tingling in your head.¡± Feng Qi did not answer. He continued to focus and felt the feedback when his mental power was extracted.
Perhaps it was for the safety of the personnel, but the speed at which the instrument extracted mental power was not fast.
in fact, it was far inferior to the speed at which he used psychokinesis.
Finally, half an hourter, Feng Qi felt a sharp pain in his head, apanied by a faint dizziness.
Without hesitation, he immediately said.
¡°Sister Wei, it hurts now.¡±
Hearing this, Wei Wei immediately pressed the stop button.
After the device trembled for a moment, the intertwining indicator lights on the control panel dimmed.
At this moment, the ss door opened.
¡°The mental power I collected this time isn¡¯t enough to make a Mental Crystal.
I reckon you still need three to four extractions¡ How do you feel now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Feng Qi shook his head decisively.
The pain and dizziness in his brain were mainly caused by the excessive consumption of mental power. He was familiar with this feeling. When he first obtained ¡°Evil Thoughts¡±, he often experienced them.
After the extraction ended, he and Wei Wei left Laboratory 11, which was used to store old scientific research equipment.
Feeling a little tired, he returned to his room.
Then, hey on the bed and fell asleep.
Sleep was undoubtedly the fastest way to recover his mental state.
For the next few days, Feng Qi stayed in the Scarlet Research Institute and worked with Wei Wei to carry out the mental power extraction experiment.
With the help of the ¡°Light of Mental Power¡± apparatus, the Mental Crystal was finallypleted on the third day.
Afterpleting the extraction, Feng Qi took off the equipment and walked out of the Light of Mental Power.
At this moment, Wei Wei, who was outside, took out a metal box from beside the instrument. In the center was apressed and condensed mental crystal. This Mental Crystal was light yellow in color and crystal clear inside. It looked very beautiful.
[Why is it light yellow? Did you urgently need the toilet while inside the equipment?]
¡°Id*ot!¡±
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s ridicule, he came to Wei Wei.
¡°Sister Wei, is that enough?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s enough. Next, I have to mix your blood into it and create a crystal that¡¯s a mixture of blood and mental power.
Feng Qi nodded.
Next, he followed Wei Wei out of Laboratory n and into her privateboratory. Among the various parts of his body, the blood intensity at the heart was the highest.
The blood in this part was called ¡°human blood essence¡± in cultivation. Every time the heart beat, it would dilute the blood essence and flow to the entire body before gathering at the heart.
Ordinary people could not operate on the heart when blood was being extracted.
However, for Feng Qi, quality was the key. There would be no problem with operating his heart.
After all, in his original living dead form, his heart was shriveled and there was no blood inside.
Even so, he was still alive and well.
During the blood extraction segment, he activated hisbat body form.
This was also the first time he had disyed hisbat body form in front of Wei Wei.
Wei Wei clicked her tongue in wonder as she looked at the Skeletal form with purple and blood-colored patterns imprinted on the bones of his entire body. She couldn¡¯t help but take many photos to prepare for further observation and research.
¡°Sister Wei, isn¡¯t this enough? Do you want me to break my ribs for you to study?¡±
Looking at Wei Wei, who was still circling around him excitedly, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°Can you do that for me?¡± Wei Wei asked with interest.
¡öTm just saying. Don¡¯t take it seriously. I still need my ribs. Let¡¯s hurry up and start the next step.¡±
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Yeah, you can¡¯t break your ribs-they are useful, unlike your d*ck. You might as well just cut it off!]
¡°Shut up!¡±
Chapter 563 - 563: Mental Crystal (3)
Chapter 563: Mental Crystal (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
After hearing the narrator¡¯s words, he could not help but raise his middle finger in his mind.
At this moment, Wei Wei, who had put down her phone, took a scalpel and a container from the operating table and walked to him.
¡°Do you need anesthesia?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t have a ce to inject anesthesia in my current state,¡± Feng Qi rejected.
¡°I¡¯m just saying.¡±
As she spoke, Wei Wei grabbed the scalpel and gently cut his heart.
The special scalpel was sharp and could easily break through the defense of various powerful domain creatures.
This scalpel was also Wei Wei¡¯s weapon for experimenting with various domain creatures.
The scalpel shed across, leaving a trace of a scratch on his heart.
He immediately felt a slight pain in his heart. Right after that, blood droplets, flickering with a demonic light, dripped down from the scratch and were collected into the container by Wei Wei.
This blood was extremely dense. Aftering into contact with the air, it quickly evaporated and spread. Soon, the privateboratory was filled with a faint blood-colored fog.
However, after receiving a few drops of blood essence, the scratch on his heart automatically repaired and stopped dripping blood.
¡°What an amazing self-healing ability. You have a strong body, but it¡¯s a pity that you don¡¯t have enough blood. I have no choice but to do it again.¡±
Looking at the teasing Wei Wei, Feng Qi¡¯s expression was calm.
¡°Go on.¡±
Due to his powerful self-healing ability, it took Wei Wei three times to get enough blood to forge the mixed crystal. Then, she closed the blood vessel to prevent his blood and Qi from spreading and flowing out.
In Wei Wei¡¯s words, she only needed half of it to create a mixed crystal. The other half was mainly for her future research.
Feng Qi supported Wei Wei¡¯s enthusiasm for research.
After losing his blood essence, he only needed to kill some domain creatures to replenish it easily. He didn¡¯t mind.
Thereafter, Feng Qi felt sleepy.
He was familiar with this feeling. Every time the Blood Source form dissipated, he would feel weak and sleepy.
For the next two days, he stayed at the Scarlet Research Institute.
As for Wei Wei, she began to forge the mixed crystal.
In addition, the other departments had also begun to use jade and spiritual materials to build a statue for him.
Compared to the crude human-like statue, the statue that the Scarlet Research Institute had built for him was exquisitely carved. Even his expression and charm were restored.
As for the shape of the statue, the director had set the tone during the meeting.
They referenced the statue built in the future in the previous timeline.
The statue held a book in its left hand and a sword in its right, exuding the temperament of a leader.
On the back of this statue, there was a disassembly point designed to store the mixed crystal.
After waiting for two days, Wei Wei sessfully mixed the Mental Crystal and blood.
A blood-colored mixed crystal was born in her privateboratory.
After several days of hard work, everything was ready.
In the meeting today, under the gaze of a group of higher-ups, Wei Wei stuffed the mixed crystal into Feng Qi¡¯s jade statue and closed the back.
The statue had been built and everyone immediately looked at Feng Qi.
¡°What do you feel?¡± The white-haired director asked first.
¡°I don¡¯t think¡ I feel anything,¡± Feng Qi answered honestly.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Of course, you don¡¯t feel anything. After all, you¡¯ve onlypleted the construction of the statue, but no believers have provided you with the power of faith to establish a spiritual connection with you¡ You need the believers to worship your statue!]
Hearing the narrator¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi suddenly understood.
At this moment, he looked up at the director and the others.
Chapter 564 - 564: Power Transfer (1)
Chapter 564: Power Transfer (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Scarlet Research Institute, Supreme Conference.
Looking at the expectant faces of the higher-ups, Feng Qi exined.
¡°So, you need pious believers now.¡± The director nodded.
Then, the atmosphere of the meeting fell silent.
Believers were not something that could be obtained just because one desired it. The key was to be pious. Only in this way could one generate the pure power of faith.
Everyone quickly started discussing.
Some individuals in the discussion were willing to try bing believers, but understanding how to make themselves pious proved to be a bit challenging.
Regarding this matter, Feng Qi also felt a headache.
If he were suddenly asked to piously believe in someone else, it would be difficult for him to do so.
To be a believer, piety was the key.
If he only pretended to kowtow, he would not be able to produce the power of faith, let alone establish a mental connection.
¡°Let¡¯s start with me. If I fail, I¡¯ll try the next one.¡±
Just as everyone was at a loss, Wei Wei suddenly spoke.
At this moment, Feng Qi looked at Wei Wei.
¡°Someone has to step up. I¡¯ll take the statue away first. Kowtowing in public is really¡ I don¡¯t know how to describe it.¡±
Wei Wei winked at him and walked to the statue. Then, she reached out and picked up the jade statue.
The 2 feet tall statue was made of special jade materials produced by the Heavenbreaker Domain Field. The quality was better than the jade stones in the ck Absolute Domain field in all aspects.
This was also reflected in the weight.
Wei Wei, who was carrying the jade statue, looked a little tired.
¡°I¡¯ll bring it back for research first. See you at the next meeting.¡± With that, Wei Wei walked towards the door of the conference room.
¡°Sister Wei, let me help you.¡±
Feng Qi took a step forward and took the jade statue from Wei Wei. Then, he followed Wei Wei out of the meeting room.
For the next few days, other than eating, Wei Wei spent all her time in her room studying how to be a pious believer.
As for the process, Feng Qi did not know either.
In the early morning of the third day, Feng Qi was flipping through thetest Star City news in his room. At this moment, the Miracle Bracelet on his right wrist suddenly flickered. Right on the heels of that, he felt a mysterious power enter his body through the Miracle Bracelet.
The energy was very weak and almost undetectable.
If not for the change in the Miracle Bracelet, he would not have noticed it at all.
Just as he was feeling surprised, he heard a faint whisper in his mind.
He focused and listened carefully. The voice gradually magnified.
He realized that Wei Wei had seeded.
Not only did she sessfully provide him with the power of faith but she also established a mental connection with him.
This mental connection was delicate as if it could be shattered with the slightest external disturbance. However, it was remarkably tenacious, managing to establish a connection with him across space.
At this moment, he had a deep understanding of the power of faith.
This mental power was very pure. After entering his body, it nourished his body and mental consciousness.
He finally understood why the Dark God Sect wanted to set up the future by collecting the power of faith. This pure power had a significant effect on increasing one¡¯s strength without any side effects.
However, he was essentially repulsed by the power of faith.
If he aimed to grow by gathering faith, he would undoubtedly deceive the world and elevate himself above all living beings.
Wasn¡¯t this another level of exploitation?
It was the opposite of the ideal future in his heart.
[It¡¯s just an unorthodox method. The jade statue was created to establish a mental connection with you and then attempt to instill and borrow your power into the sacrifice timeline¡ Even if others believe in you, you won¡¯t truly believe that you¡¯re omnipotent. This will leave your heart filled with ws. How can you be the strongest?]
¡°So, what kind of mental state do you think can make you omnipotent?¡±
After hearing the narrator¡¯s exnation, he could not help but ask curiously.
[Only when your heart is filled with muscles can you be unstoppable and invincible!]
He felt that the narrator was not describing an omnipotent individual, but a muscle-headed idiot!
He ignored the narrator. At this moment, he calmed down and tried tomunicate with Wei Wei.
¡°Sister Wei, can you hear me?¡±
Wei Wei did not respond to his question and continued to whisper.
Realizing that Wei Wei didn¡¯t hear his question, he immersed himself in his sea of consciousness.
After a short daze, what appeared in front of him was a golden sea.
Every drop of golden liquid in the ocean represented his mental power. When the golden liquid in the ocean was depleted, it signified the exhaustion of his mental power.
At this moment, Feng Qi scanned his sea of consciousness.
Since he could establish a mental connection with Wei Wei, it meant that there must be a connection medium.
He did not find anything abnormal in his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, he asked.
¡°Narrator, help me find it. It¡¯s time for your detection ability toe in handy.¡±
The narrator did not reply to his question.
Just as he was about to ask again, the voice of the narrator finally sounded.
[Capitalist, pay attention to the vicinity of your Origin Bead. Look carefully again!]
After hearing the narrator¡¯s reminder, his mental consciousness approached the Origin Bead..
Chapter 565 - 565: Power Transfer (2)
Chapter 565: Power Transfer (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
His Origin Bead was a golden-red bead, with a golden surface and a red interior.
Gold represented the human form. Its characteristic was that it had stronger mental power, but its physique was weak.
Red represented the thebat body form. Its characteristic was that it had weak mental power, but its physique was stronger.
He could switch between the two forms at will. Every time hepleted the switch, the outer and interior color of the bead would also change.
The golden-red bead hovered above the sea of mental power. Surrounding it were dozens of innate ability beads. They circled the golden-red bead like stars surrounding the moon and rotated at the same time.
Each color of the pearl represented a different innate ability.
At this moment, Feng Qi approached the Origin Bead. He did not find anything abnormal near it.
He used his perception to investigate the situation near the Origin Bead.
As he scanned carefully, he quickly discovered an abnormality.
He scanned a weak golden light spot beside the Origin Bead. This light spot was almost invisible even under his perception.
If not for the narrator¡¯s reminder, he would not have discovered it.
[The golden light is Wei Wei¡¯s mental connection with you. It¡¯s just that the connection is very weak now, so it¡¯s almost undetectable. You can try tomunicate with it with your consciousness. As for whether it¡¯s feasible, I¡¯m not sure.]
After listening to the narrator¡¯s exnation, he nodded and spread his consciousness towards the golden light.
The closer he got, the clearer Wei Wei¡¯s whisper in his mind.
At this moment, his mental consciousness was wrapped in a golden light.
¡°Sister Wei, can you hear me?¡±
His voice made Wei Wei¡¯s voice suddenly disappear.
As the golden light flickered, it was almost extinguished.
Just as Feng Qi thought that the connection had failed, Wei Wei¡¯s voice suddenly sounded.
¡°Ah Qi? How did you start a conversation with me from afar?¡±
Facing Wei Wei¡¯s question, he knew that the mental connection had seeded.
Then, he repeated the narrator¡¯s exnation.
At this moment, Feng Qi was also filled with curiosity.
He didn¡¯t understand how Wei Wei did it.
Trust, friendship, love, and so on could be nurtured through contact, but faith waspletely different.
You couldn¡¯t turn friendship into faith, and you couldn¡¯t turn other feelings into faith.
Faith was more like ¡®reverence¡¯. It was often associated with the unknown and mysterious.
In his eyes, faith was essentially nothingness. The power of gods often came from the fantasies of the believers.
But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, the owner of the fog had proposed a concept, which was the Hero Faith Theory.
This faith wasn¡¯t inherently illusory; instead, it practically constructed a hero character. It then continually elevated this hero character, creating an imageparable to a god.
In essence, this faith was the opposite of the faith of the gods.
However, at that time, this n had just gotten on track when it was ruined by the appearance of the Dark God.
Under a series of chain changes, the owner of the fog was finally dragged into a desperate situation.
As for whether the hero faith method was feasible, he had a preliminary argument in his mind.
During the unveiling ceremony of the statue in Star City¡¯s Central Park, he sensed a weak power of faith from the children who hade to deliver flowers.
Therefore, he felt that Wei Wei had most likely used this method toplete her faith connection with him.
At this thought, he immediately asked.
¡°Sister Wei, how did you do it?¡±
Faced with his question, Wei Wei said.
¡°The process is notplicated. I spent a few days looking through the timeline records you left behind, especially the messages I left for you on each timeline. Slowly, my mental state changed.¡±
¡°This feeling is very strange. Reading the messages I left for you in the other timelines, I sense my faith in you across the sacrificial timelines. Just like what I said to you in those other timelines¡ You are the goal of my life¡¯s efforts and carry all my hopes and visions.¡±
¡°This faith is different from the faith in gods. There¡¯s no fear, hesitation, and variousplicated emotions. There¡¯s only determination and persistence. I didn¡¯t expect this emotion to allow me to establish a mental connection with you.¡±
¡°From the looks of it, faith is not just about fear and respect. The most important thing is trust and affirmation. This is also an emotion of faith.¡±
Hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was enlightened.
[I have to admit that the old woman is outstanding. No matter what she does, she can dissect the root of the problem and find the answer. With such help, there¡¯s no need to worry about not being able to realize the dream of saving the world in the future.]
Even the narrator praised her sincerely at this moment.
Now that the faith connection had been established, Feng Qi left the room and came to Wei Wei¡¯s door.
After knocking on the door for a few seconds, the door opened.
Wei Wei appeared at the door in loose pajamas. Her curvaceous figure was filled with temptation.
¡°Come in. Next, let¡¯s test how to instill the power.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately nodded. Then, he followed Wei Wei into the room and sat down on the sofa.
As for how to transmit or share the power with the believers who had established a connection of faith, this insight was based on the owner¡¯s study of the power of faith..
Chapter 566 - 566: Power Transfer (3)
Chapter 566: Power Transfer (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Whether or not it could be realized waspletely unknown.
More importantly, even if he seeded in the real world, he might not seed in the sacrifice timeline.
After all, no time and space separated the transmission of power from the real world.
But if it were the sacrifice timeline, there were 1,500 years between them.
It was equivalent to him 1,500 yearster, transmitting power to him 1,500 years ago. The difference was huge.
However, a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step at a time. Feng Qi looked forward to this.
Next, he began to discuss the transmission method of power with Wei Wei.
During which, the narrator presented a possible solution.
Feng Qi could attempt to establish a connection by reaching out to the innate ability bead and tapping into Wei Wei¡¯s spiritual link within his consciousness.
To confirm whether this was feasible, he returned to his sea of consciousness.
When he arrived in front of the Origin Bead¡¯s orbit, he took off the bead that represented ¡°Evil Thoughts¡± and delivered it to Wei Wei¡¯s faith medium in his sea of consciousness, which was where the golden light was.
Then, he slowly pushed the Evil Thoughts ability bead towards Wei Wei¡¯s spiritual medium.
When the Evil Thoughts ability bead came into contact with Wei Wei¡¯s mental light, the imagined fusion did not happen. Wei Wei, who was at the side, did not feel any changes in her body.
After his first attempt failed, Feng Qi fell into deep thought again.
At the critical moment, the narrator reminded him again.
[Why don¡¯t you try to reverse-engineer it?]
¡°What do you mean?¡±
[In your attempt earlier, you plucked the Evil Thoughts ability bead from its orbit. This is like removing the battery of the remote control and handing the remote control to the old woman to operate. In essence, the Evil Thoughts ability bead is unactivated.]
[Perhaps you can try to put the Evil Thoughts ability bead back into orbit and send Wei Wei¡¯s spiritual medium into the former¡ As for whether she can control the Evil Thoughts ability bead, I¡¯m still determining.]
Hearing the narrator¡¯s suggestion, Feng Qi did as he was told.
He arrived at the orbit and pushed the Evil Thoughts ability bead back into it.
Aftering into contact with the orbit, the Evil Thoughts ability bead began to rotate and revolve around the golden-red Origin Bead.
Following the hint of the narrator, he wrapped Wei Wei¡¯s spiritual medium with his consciousness and slowly pushed it to the Evil Thoughts ability bead.
In an instant, an unbelievable scene happened.
Wei Wei¡¯s spiritual medium light slowly fused into the Evil Thoughts ability bead.
At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Wei Wei, who had the same surprised expression.
¡°Sister Wei, how do you feel now?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a power constantly surging into my mind. It feels strange. I seem to have grasped a special ability. I even feel that I¡¯m born with it.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve sent your spiritual medium into the Evil Thoughts ability bead. Now, I¡¯m giving you the psychokinesis ability. I¡¯ve already exined the details of this ability to you in detail. You can try to control this power now.¡±
Feng Qi said expectantly.
When Wei Wei heard this, she nodded slightly. Then, she stretched out her right hand and tapped the ss cup in the distance.
The ss cup did not float in the air. Feng Qi did not sense any psychokinesis fluctuationsing from Wei Wei.
Next, Wei Wei chose to continue trying. She ¡°poked¡± at the ss cup on the bedside table.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the ss did not move at all.
After trying again, Wei Wei chose to give up. Then, she turned to Feng Qi and said.
¡°I think I know what the problem is.¡±
¡°The mental connection between us is still too weak. It¡¯s like the floodgate of a dam is only the size of a finger. No matter how much water there is in the dam, it can¡¯t be instilled into my body through a small mouth. We need to strengthen the connection of faith.¡±
¡°But it¡¯s not a big problem. Since the faith connection has been established, deepening it is not an issue.¡±
Feng Qi agreed with Wei Wei¡¯s analysis.
When Wei Wei tried it earlier, he thought of the same reason.
Just as Wei Wei had said, he only needed to deepen his faith connection and dig a ditch for the channeling of power. It would be easier to borrow power.
To confirm that this step was feasible, Wei Wei tried to deepen her faith connection in the next few days.
The specific method was to imagine his existence sincerely and firmly believe in him.
During this process, Wei Wei¡¯s whispers often sounded in Feng Qi¡¯s mind.
Feng Qi was a little miserable about this.
The characteristic of Wei Wei¡¯s personality was that once she set her mind on something, she would handle it very seriously.
Especially when carrying out scientific research missions, it wasmon for her to stay up for a few days without sleeping.
Therefore, Feng Qi was often woken up by Wei Wei¡¯s whispers in his sleep.
However, he felt that there must be a way to solve this problem.
Otherwise, those gods with tens of millions of believers would be disturbed by their prayers.
He could not imagine how it felt.
Tens of millions of voices whispered in their minds day and night. It was simply a mental torture.
Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Narrator, how do you think the gods who collect faith solve this problem?¡±
[That¡¯s simple. The gods would mentally yell at their followers: ¡°Dear believers, turn off ¡°all talk¡±, especially the loud ones. Do it, or face my wrath!¡±
Chapter 567 - 567: Virtual Technology Innovation (1)
Chapter 567: Virtual Technology Innovation (1)

On the ninth day after returning to the Scarlet Research Institute.
This morning, Feng Qi arrived at Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory.
He pushed the door open and entered. He saw Wei Wei in the uniform staring at the operating table with a serious expression. Two scalpels were floating in the air under her gaze.
Suddenly, WeiWei deted. The scalpel, no longer held by psychokinesis, dropped onto the operating table with a metallic sound.
¡°Impressive!¡±
Feng Qi praised sincerely when he saw this.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, my control over psychokinesis is far from what you described. I still have to continue strengthening my mental connection.¡±
¡°But this ability is not bad. I¡¯m very interested now.¡± Wei Wei turned around and smiled.
They sat down and discussed the problem of power transmission.
From Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi understood the situation.
The power she obtained from him was more like borrowing the characteristics of an ability than instilling power.
For example, Wei Wei had only obtained an ability, but using this ability consumed her own mental strength, not directly consuming his mental strength to use psychokinesis.
It was like borrowing a car without gas for the believers. If the believers were to use it, they had to refuel themselves. Otherwise, they could not drive the car.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
If it was a pure infusion of power, a god with tens of millions of believers might have their power sucked dry in an instant.
Therefore, borrowing the characteristic of a power was the most reasonable way to share it.
This situation bore some resemnce to numerous novels,ics, and movies.
The missionaries or mages in the magical world chanted nothing more than ¡°God, heed my calling,¡± before releasing their power through a series of babble-like incantations. However, using this power depleted their mana bars.
Now, the feasibility of mental connection and the transmission of power had been proven.
However, many issues remain unresolved.
There were three main problems.
Firstly, even though he had established a mental connection, he did not know how to take the initiative to obtain an innate ability.
Wei Wei¡¯s psychokinesis stemmed from him proactively channeling Wei Wei¡¯s mental light into the Evil Thoughts ability bead. However, the sacrifice timeline did not undergo the same treatment.
There was a high chance that when the sacrifice timeline established a mental connection with him, he was still in a chaotic and unconscious state. It was also possible that he was still traveling in time and had not arrived in the future world 1,500 yearster.
There were many variables.
This question could not be answered urately before the sacrifice timeline was truly activated.
Secondly, even if he solved the first problem, there were some abilities that he did not dare to use rashly even if he had obtained the right to use them at the cost of his life.
For example, his strongest trump card, the Blood Source.
After using this ability, the blood and Qi in his body would be exhausted to obtain an explosive increase inbat strength.
In the real world, there was no burden for him to use this ability.
Even if the blood and Qi in his body were exhausted, he could continue to live in his Skeletal form. As long as he absorbed enough blood and Qi in the future, he could fill the deficit and switch to his human form again.
However, if he did this in the sacrifice timeline, there was a high chance that he would die instantly after the Blood Source form ended.
After all, he was just an ordinary person on the sacrifice timeline. There was nothing special about him. Flesh and blood were the foundation of survival.
Therefore, the trump card, Blood Source, seemed to only be used in desperate situations. Under normal circumstances, using it was undoubtedly suicidal.
He had an idea as to whether this problem could be resolved.
For example, lending the origin power of the golden-red bead to him on the sacrifice timeline.
This way, he could freely switch between hisbat body and human form on the sacrifice timeline, and he would no longer have to worry about depleting his blood and Qi.
However, he had no idea how to implement it for the time being.
Thirdly, how to let himself on the sacrifice timeline master multiple abilities at the same time.
The main reason why Wei Wei could obtain the Evil Thoughts ability and master psychokinesis was because he had sent Wei Wei¡¯s mental light into the Evil Thoughts ability bead. However, Wei Wei had only mastered one ability. She couldn¡¯t use other abilities.
Hence, while forging a mental connection with the sacrifice timeline, mastering numerous innate abilities posed a significant challenge.
Wei Wei gave a solution that might work.
She felt that as long as her mental connection continued to strengthen, she might be able to sense his sea of consciousness.
If she could sense his sea of consciousness, she would be able to control the mental light to choose the innate ability she wanted to use without his help.
The narrator expressed a different opinion of Wei Wei¡¯s idea.
The narrator believed that the mental world would instinctively reject external forces. Without his help, it was difficult to casually fuse with other innate ability beads.
For instance, when confronted with an assant skilled in mental attack techniques, the mental world would instinctively initiate a defense mechanism.
This was an instinctive defense on the mental level.
The stronger one¡¯s mental power was, the stronger one¡¯s automatic defense.
However, the narrator felt that there might be an exception.
After all, the medium of faith was created by believers. In essence, they couldn¡¯t be hostile to the person they believed in. Perhaps the medium of faith would be recognized by the sea of consciousness and move freely in the sea of consciousness of the person they believed in.
As for the exact oue, Wei Wei had to verify it further.
After all, at the current stage, Wei Wei could barely control Evil Thoughts. There was still a huge gap between controlling the mental light in his sea of consciousness and moving freely..

However, there was no doubt that Wei Wei had made rapid progress in mastering Evil Thoughts.
After discussing the problem of mental transmission with Wei Wei for a while, Feng Qi suddenly thought of a problem and couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.
¡°Sister Wei, using psychokinesis consumes your mental strength. Don¡¯t you feel tired from such frequent training?¡±
Facing his question, Wei Wei smiled.
¡°I forgot to tell you that my mental strength and mental reserves are more than three times that of your current level.¡±
Hearing this, he was stunned.
At this point, human research in the mental domain was advancing gradually. The enhancement of mental strength primarily relied on consuming specialized spiritual materials generated within the domain field.
The increase in his mental strength was mainly rted to killing a few elemental domain creatures in his future dream.
However, he was very curious about how Wei Wei did it.
Faced with his question, Wei Wei thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
¡°Could it be that I¡¯ve been staying up all night?¡±
He didn¡¯t know if staying upte could increase one¡¯s mental power, but he knew that he would go bald. He felt that Wei Wei¡¯s exnation was a little perfunctory.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop joking around. I don¡¯t know why my mental strength is so strong. Ever since I interacted with Mu Yao, my body has changed a lot.¡±
¡°I exhibit minimal aging, boasting an extended lifespan as one of the most noticeable alterations. Moreover, my mental strength has seen an increase, and there¡¯s a transformation in my physical prowess. Don¡¯t assume I¡¯m frail¡ª mybat power evaluation can reach the upper Bronze tier. My physical fitness is also the key factor enabling me to frequently engage in overnight scientific research projects.¡±
Hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was enlightened.
He had read Mu Yao¡¯s memories and knew that herbat strength was extremely terrifying.
However, her origins remained a mystery. He only knew that she had lived for a long time and had been searching for miracles.
Scarlet¡¯s first director, Ye Huang, Wei Wei, Mu Qing, and other historical figures were all miracles that Mu Yao was looking for.
She had a significant impact on history.
He even had reason to believe that Mu Yao might be behind the rapid progress of modern cultivation.
After somemunication, Wei Wei chose to continue strengthening her faith connection.
Feng Qi stood up and left Wei Wei¡¯s room, walking straight towards the virtual research department.
During breakfast, he interacted with the director of the newly established virtual gaming department, Liang Yu.
Liang Yu stated that he had applied all the virtual information Feng Qi brought back to Breaking Dawn¡¯s architecture and invited him to participate in the test.
Before leaving, he decided to visit the virtual department.
The virtual department was located on the third floor of the Scarlet Research Institute.
Feng Qi came to the entrance of the mainboratory and stood still. The detection device automatically scanned and opened the door.
He was now one of the highest authorities in the Scarlet Research Institute.
He could travel freely without any hindrance.
At this moment, he entered the mainboratory of the virtual department.
The mainboratory covered an area roughly equivalent to a ser field, housing a multitude of recently transported state-of-the-art technological equipment from the Future Research Institute.
To promote the technological development of the virtual reality department, the Future Research Institute also sent all the information rted to virtual games to the Scarlet Research Institute.
Coupled with the information Feng Qi brought back from the future, the growth of the virtual department at this stage was very fast.
As he nced around, he noticed Liang Yu standing in front of the main control console.
Standing at approximately 5.7 feet tall and aged 38, he bore signs of weariness, evident in the graying temples resulting from prolonged periods of staying upte.
Initially serving as the deputy director of the Intelligence Engineering Department, his primary responsibility involved managing its data. More recently, he assumed the role of director for the newly established virtual department.
As if sensing his gaze, Liang Yu turned around at this moment. The moment he saw Feng Qi, a smile appeared on his face. Then, he walked over quickly.
¡°Ah Qi, you¡¯re here!¡±
¡°Yes, Director Liang. I¡¯m here to take a look.¡±
Upon hearing this, Liang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder.
¡°We¡¯vepleted the first round of testing of the two virtual dungeons you brought. Do you want to experience it for yourself?¡±
Feng Qi was curious about the virtual dungeon and immediately nodded.
¡°Sure, thank you for the opportunity.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony with me. Just treat me as a friend. Follow me.¡±
As he spoke, Liang Yu turned around and walked towards the virtual gaming capsule in the distance.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed.
Liang Yu stood still in front of the virtual gaming capsule. Then, he turned around and introduced the updating process of the virtual gaming capsule to Feng Qi.
These high-end virtual gaming capsules, resembling t eggs, differed significantly from the batch previously sent to Star City Academy.
The technology had undergone three innovations.
Whether it was the immersive experience in the game or the nourishment of the body during the game, it was far from what the initial version couldpare to.
To deepen the immersion of virtual reality, which was the degree of realism, the materials used to build this high-end virtual gaming capsule had also been added with dream stones produced by the dream domain field.
On the other hand, the cost of this type of virtual gaming capsule was also extremely high.
The cost of one was $450,000. If it was sold in the future, it would cost at least $470,000, including logistics.
How to reduce costs at this stage was also a problem that the virtual department was resolving.
After all, the purpose of developing virtual games was to elerate the development of human civilization. He had never thought of profiting from it. The higher price would be an important reason for affecting the promotion of the virtual gaming capsule.
After hearing Liang Yu¡¯s introduction, Feng Qi decided to experience the functions of the high-end virtual gaming capsule.
He came to one of the virtual gaming capsules and pressed the ¡°Start¡± button on the right ording to Liang Yu¡¯s instructions.
Immediately, the egg-like virtual gaming capsule¡¯s outer cover slowly rose.
Next, Feng Qi went to the cubicle of the virtual gaming capsule and took out a brand new set of virtual equipment.
After putting them on, hey down in the virtual gaming capsule.
After some controls, nutrient solutions spurted out from both sides of the virtual gaming capsule, and the capsule slowly closed.
After a short wait, his vision was shrouded in darkness.
[Wee to Breaking Dawn, future saviors!]
At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in his mind. Right on the heels of that, his vision changed, and what appeared in front of him was a futuristic city.
At the same time, a list of options appeared in front of him.
[Enter City (Free trade,munication, and other functional scenes)]
[Multiyer Competitive Mode (Match-up Ranking System)]
[Multiyer Competitive Mode (Custom)]
[Domain Dungeon Mode ¨C Personal I Team (No. of Dungeons: 2)]
[Self-made Dungeon Mode ¨C Pay to download dungeon map: 0 (Temporarily unavable)]
[Self-made Dungeon Map Editor (Map materials: 23,215. Temporarily unavable)]
[Simtion Training Room (Skill Release, Skill Combination)]
[Personal Space (Add Friends, View Battle Results, Honor Wall, Match Rey, Messages, Clothes and essories¡)]
[Beta Scenario 1 (Temporarily unavable)]
[Beta Scenario 2 (Temporarily unavable)]
Compared to the past, the current list of options added to the city¡¯s function and opened up the main scene of free trade.
Curious, he tapped the ¡°City¡± button.
Immediately, the scene in the background rushed over, and the list of options in front of him disappeared.
He found himself in the center of a city square, surrounded by technological streets and towering buildings. However, there was no one in the scene except him.
Surveying his surroundings, he noted that everything appeared exceptionally lifelike, blurring the distinction between reality and illusion.
The y of light and shadow had achieved a level nearly indistinguishable from reality, exemplified by the radiant full moon overhead. Each time a dark cloud swept by, the illumination would promptly dim, only to brighten again when the cloud departed, mimicking the natural ebb and flow of light.
Walking on the streets, Feng Qi was amazed.
If this level of realism were employed for scientific research, one could envision significant leaps in human technology.
After strolling along the street, he summoned his attribute panel.
Next, he decided to test the newly added virtual dungeon function of the virtual game.
After tapping on the Dungeon option, the various dungeons appeared in front of him.
Beneath each scene, there was a corresponding text introduction along with a description of the difficulty level.
However, there were only two dungeons to choose from.
Other than that, there was also a notification of personal attributes, equipment, and items on the upper right corner.
Curious, he tapped on the second dungeon, the Silver Moon Domain Field..
Chapter 569 - 569: Perfect Experience - Promising Future (1)
Chapter 569: Perfect Experience ¨C Promising Future (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He tapped to enter the Silver Moon Domain Field dungeon.
After a short trance, cracks appeared in the center of the city, falling off inch by inch like ss shattering.
After the scene in front of Feng Qi shattered, a brand new dungeon scene appeared.
In contrast to the virtual reality game he had encountered at Star City Academy, the scenery here was exceptionally seamless. There was no more extended waiting inplete darkness.
Entering the dungeon¡
Before him, 12 silver-waning moons hovered in the air. A in covered with purple nts stretched out in front, while to his left stood an unbroken mountain range, and to his righty a sereneke.
He continued to look forward. At the end was a forest filled with strange silver trees.
At this moment, a semi-transparent map in a 0% exploration state floated in the upper right corner of his vision, shrouded in fog.
The reality of the scene in front of him shocked Feng Qi.
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
Initially, the starting point of the virtual dungeon was to let cultivators understand thebat methods and habits of the monsters in the corresponding domain field in the virtual game.
This way, one would not have to go through the difficult exploration and data collection stage. As long as one mastered the way to fight against domain monsters in the game, one could do it in reality.
Of course, this was only the future idea of the virtual dungeon.
There were many variables in the real situation.
For example, domain creatures could think. There was nock of domain creatures with higher intelligence. They could not be as inflexible as in the game.
The monsters in the dungeon could only simtebat styles and other traits. The institute could not give them the intelligence or ability to think.
But even so, the virtual dungeon would greatly reduce the casualty rate of the frontline warriors.
At this moment, he walked towards the forest of silver trees at the end of his vision.
The wind howled, causing the ins to sway. His novice clothes also billowed in the brisk breeze.
Such a realistic scene was beyond his expectations.
After walking for a while, he noticed a peculiar orange flower in bloom amid the expanse of nts not far away.
Curious, he immediately stepped forward.
The moment his gaze focused, a translucent introduction panel popped up in front of him.
[Demon Bone Flower]:
Spiritual Level: 3
Origin: Derived from the demise of the ¡°Demon Bone¡± monster in the Silver Moon Domain Field.
Use: Direct consumption may marginally enhance the potency of the bloodline, but it carries potential risks such as diarrhea. Further harnessing of its medicinal effects can be applied in alchemy (refinement, mixing, essence), smelting (integration of specific attributes), scientific research experiments, and other endeavors.
Seeing the introduction to the transparent interface, Feng Qi was shocked.
Certainly, the spiritual nts that manifested in the dungeon were undoubtedly replicated from real data.
In other words, this Demon Bone Flower would exist in the Silver Moon Domain Field in the future.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Incredible. With such a perfect medicinal analysis and introduction, the Scarlet Research Institute is preparing to use all kinds of spiritual nts in the virtual game.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
When he was talking to Liang Yu, thetter had mentioned something rted.
One of the future purposes of a virtual dungeon was not to enhancebat. There were also many supporting content.
For instance, enabling yers to acquire knowledge of alchemy, spiritual energy enchantment, and other supplementary content.
If this step was sessful, it would have a huge impact on the development of human civilization.
For example, alchemy in reality.
It was very difficult for students toe into contact with alchemy. It was like tens of millions of people crossing a wooden bridge. In the end, only a few students could be epted by universities with alchemy majors.
The reason for this was not that the academy was unwilling to nurture more alchemy talents.
The absence of a substantial quantity of healing and cultivation medicinal liquids at the frontline indicated significant market growth potential. Nheless, the challengey in the fact that an alchemist resembled a financial drain during the initial nurturing period.
Each spiritual material was extremely valuable.
The process of cultivating an alchemist involved the continuous consumption of spiritual materials, progressing from unfamiliarity to proficiency.
Therefore, the various universities could only give up on quantity and choose to focus their resources on nurturing elites.
The price of spiritual materials prevented ordinary people froming into contact with alchemy.
This was different from cultivation.
There were some cases of frontline warriors who did not work hard during school and suddenly gained enlightenment one day after entering society. They picked up cultivation and relied on their own efforts to be frontline warriors.
There were also many outstanding warriors among them.
However, ordinary people couldn¡¯te into contact with alchemy.
The academy stood behind the students who became alchemist apprentices. They could provide endless spiritual resources for practice, but ordinary people did not have such treatment.
Even if a stubborn person were to try and use arge amount of information online to learn, they would face insufficient funds when it came to practice.
One might be able to endure it if one gritted one¡¯s teeth and tried once.
Nevertheless, alchemy was a craft that improved with practice. Merely attempting it a few times could deplete the finances of a middle-ss family.
This undoubtedly hindered the progress of alchemy.
Quantity was also an important indicator for alchemy to bloom.
As the number increased, talents could also appear among the ordinary. Only then would arge number of new prescriptions and techniques appear in alchemy, continuously developing and improving this knowledge.
This was a problem that was difficult to solve in the real world, but virtual technology could solve it.
The spiritual materials in reality were expensive, but the spiritual materials in the virtual game were just a string of codes..
Chapter 570 - 570: Perfect Experience - Promising Future (2)
Chapter 570: Perfect Experience ¨C Promising Future (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In the super virtual game, ordinary individuals could engage with disciplines like alchemy and others that were typically essible only to students from high-end universities.
ording to Liang Yu, in the future, virtual games would also create sections dedicated to academic exchanges.
The ultimate virtual game blueprint in the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s concept
was to create a talent cultivation base.
Utilizing the most economical approach to cultivate a significant number of talents inbat,mand, alchemy, energy support, and other fields.
Apart from serving the frontline warriors, this game would also open up a path for ordinary people to grow.
As long as one had talent and was willing to study hard, one could also change one¡¯s lives through virtual games.
At the thought of this, Feng Qi could not help but feel excited.
The significance of this game to humans was no less than a heavenly cultivation technique.
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
This was also the main reason why virtual reality games constantly improved their simtion. Only by trying to restore reality as much as possible could they have the attribute of nurturing talents.
It was the same for the tests of various scientific research projects.
Reality allowed the experimental data simted in the game to be closer to reality, reducing the waste and danger of experiments in the real world.
For example, rune modification experiments.
Failure in reality meant losing a life.
However, death in the game symbolized a fresh start. Each yer had numerous opportunities for experimentation until their real-life lifespan was depleted.
[You¡¯ve found a new ideal path for the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s future.]
Hearing the praise from the narrator, Feng Qi grinned.
At this moment, he walked towards the forest filled with strange silver trees.
As he observed the terrain of the Silver Moon Domain Field along the way, he opened his attribute panel.
This time, Breaking Dawn forwent its initial approach of acquiring realistic attributes and opted for the traditional method of gaining strength.
Liang Yu had exined this earlier.
He felt that if he had to grow through cultivation in the game like in reality, it would undoubtedly slow down his progress greatly. yers would need to spend a lot of time cultivating.
This was disadvantageous to the development of virtual games.
He decided to use the method of leveling up to let the yers adapt to the state after their strength increased in advance.
As for thepetitive mode, there would be a bnce of strength to make it fair and just. There was no paywall in Breaking Dawn.
Of course, the Scarlet Research Institute would also add some paywall functions in the future, such as adding a mall.
However, the mall would only sell skins that did not destroy the game¡¯s bnce and other items. It would not affect the gaming experience of ordinary yers.
This was mainly to make up for the resource consumption of the virtual game.
The super factory to build the virtual gaming capsules and the subsequent maintenance of the game required a huge expenditure.
Virtual games were only an important part of Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s n, but they were not the only ones.
The introduction of the paywall was not for profit, but to ensure the normal operation of the other departments of the Scarlet Research Institute.
With something on his mind, Feng Qi walked for a few hours and approached Silver Moon Forest.
However, before he could enter the forest, he saw a humanoid figure standing on the silver tree in the distance.
It had silver eyes and a slender figure. It held a silver longbow in its hand and was somewhat simr to the elves in fantasy movies.
This was also the first time Feng Qi had seen the appearance of a Silver Moon Race. It was the same as the picture he had seen in the historical database.
At this moment, the Silver Moon Race warrior had drawn the bowstring in its hand. Silver light gathered between its fingers and emitted a silver light.
Sensing danger, Feng Qi leaped to the side.
However, he was only Level 1 in the virtual game. His physical fitness could not bepared to reality.
When he pounced to the side, the Silver Moon Race warrior released the bowstring.
Rang!
The crisp sound of a bowstring rang out, and the silver light gradually erged, finallypletely enveloping his vision.
Apanied by a wave of pain, a gentle female voice sounded in his mind. [You have been defeated by a Silver Moon Race warrior, failing the dungeon exploration. Would you like to revive at the main scene?]
His vision had turned gray.
At this moment, he tapped on the ¡°Revive¡± option.
The gray scene in front of him was gradually enveloped by darkness. When his vision became clear again, he realized that he had already appeared in the center of the main square.
After experiencing the virtual dungeon for the first time, Feng Qi was very satisfied.
At this moment, he summoned the function panel and chose to exit the game. After a io-second countdown, the scene in front of him gradually dimmed and was finally enveloped by darkness again.
Hearing the sound of water being pumped, Feng Qi opened his eyes.
The nutrient solution that enveloped his body was being extracted by the holes in the wall of the virtual gaming capsule. At this moment, the virtual gaming capsule slowly opened.
He got up from the gaming capsule and walked down the stairs. He looked at Liang Yu, who was standing not far away.
¡°Director Liang, that was awesome!¡± He praised sincerely.
¡°I appreciate your gratitude, but the credit doesn¡¯t entirely belong to us. The virtual gaming capsule technology was acquired by connecting with the Future Research Institute. The virtual architecture and technology were retrieved from 1500 years in the future. We are more like assemblers who have brought together these technologies.¡±
¡°This was created by you in another timeline after more than a thousand years of hard work. Logically speaking, it¡¯s also your contribution. I¡¯m just the mover.¡±
The two of them looked at each other and could not help butugh.
[Has the business mutual ttery started?]
Ignoring the narrator¡¯s ridicule, he was about to speak when Liang Yu asked. ¡°Ah Qi, you¡¯ve experienced thetest version of virtual technology now. Do you have any suggestions? We¡¯re formting a virtual technology development n for the next 1,50¡ã years.¡±
¡°I think that yers will criticize the pain system in the game.¡±
Hearing this, Liang Yu could not help but nod.
¡°We have considered this, but Breaking Dawn is a talent cultivator. Experiencing genuine pain is crucial for nurturingbat talent. If we were to eliminate the pain system just because of yerints, it would be prioritizing the wrong thing. If yers wish to voice theirints, we will certainly not make changes.¡±
After chatting with Liang Yu about the virtual game, Feng Qi left the virtualboratory.
This experience made him look forward to the future development of the virtual game. He also believed that this game would have a profound impact on the future after it was officiallyunched, allowing humans to go from extinction to resistance step by step.
[Perhaps, after the official promotion of the virtual game, you will not only witness the future of a sanctuary but also the future equivalent of a city peer.]
¡°Maybe.¡± As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on his face.
For the next few days, Feng Qi waited in the Scarlet Research Institute for Wei Wei to provide the test results.
After lunch, he brought the takeaway box to Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory.
¡°Sister Wei, it¡¯s time for lunch.¡±
After putting down the takeaway box at the workbench, Feng Qi turned to look at Wei Wei, who had stayed up all night.
Hearing his shout, WeiWei ignored him and continued to stare at the screen topare the experimental data.
Just as Feng Qi was about to leave, Wei Wei suddenly stood up and walked quickly to him.
¡°I¡¯ve made a huge discovery.¡±
¡°What discovery?¡± he asked curiously.
¡°Drinking your blood increases the strength of our mental connection.¡±
¡°Huh? My blood has such an effect?¡±
Feng Qi was very surprised by Wei Wei¡¯stest discovery.
He had heard of believers in other religions bathing and drinking holy water blessed by the gods, but this was the first time he had heard of drinking the blood of the ¡°gods.¡±
Thinking of this, he immediately said.
¡°That¡¯s good. It seems that we can carry out the next experiment of mental freedom soon.¡±
Hearing this, Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but shake her head.
¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think. Your blood contains arge amount of unknown destructive substances that can¡¯t be consumed normally. I have to find a way to filter your blood and remove all kinds of energy substances. Only then can I drink it without burden. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid my body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡±
¡°I only drank a milliliter of diluted bloodst night and my body hasn¡¯tpletely digested it yet.¡±
At this point, Wei Wei said seriously.
¡°Are you going back to Star City Academy soon?
¡°Yes, I¡¯m heading back soon. Call me if you find anything.
¡°Alright, but before you leave, I have to trouble you with something-leave more blood for my subsequent experiments.¡±
¡°No problem. I¡¯ll draw more bloodter.¡± He nodded without hesitation in the face of Wei Wei¡¯s request.
To him, losing a little blood would not affect him at all.
He could easily satisfy Wei Wei¡¯s request.
At this moment, the narrator¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.
[Why settle for just a little blood? Draw it with all your might. Drain itpletely. Don¡¯t be afraid to waste it!]

Chapter 571: Start the Combat Timeline! (1)
Trantor: As Studios | Editor: As Studios
Star City Academy.
Ka!
As the principal¡¯s office door closed, Feng Qi walked straight towards the teaching building.
The moment he returned from the Scarlet Research Institute, he went to the principal¡¯s office and reported to Bai Fusheng about his leave.
Facing Bai Fusheng¡¯s advice, he nodded and listened attentively.
Especially when Bai Fusheng asked him to dedicate more time to cultivation in the future, he even vowed to remember themitment.
Of course, he must have more important things to do.
His promise to Bai Fusheng was so that he could be at ease and not worry that he would go astray.
At that time, he would periodically copy a cultivation technique from the future, and Bai Fusheng would not say anything else.
After leaving the principal¡¯s office, he went straight to the ssroom.
During the 14 days he was away, the students of Combat ss Three were practically in a state of free rein.
They could attend sses or sleep at their discretion.
Perhaps the remaining students would go and audit lectures from otherbat sses, but the monk had been cking away.
There was still a lot of cultivation knowledge in Feng Qi¡¯s mind that he had yet to impart. He decided to teach the ss well today.
Through the group chat, he had contacted the students in advance. When he arrived at the ss, Mu Qing and the others had already arrived. When he came to the podium, he looked at Mu Qing, Lin Ran, and the others with a smile.
When he saw Lin Ran, the image of Lin Ran resolutely choosing to die to advance the sacrifice timeline couldn¡¯t help but surface in his mind.
It was not that heroes didn¡¯t cry, but history would not record their struggling and painful sides.
There were often many sad stories behind the glorious image.
His heart ached for Lin Ran, who had sacrificed himself on the previous line. Seeing his ¡°old friend¡± again, a warm feeling flowed through his heart. It was like a withered flower rooted in the bottom of his heart, blooming again. Everything seemed so beautiful.
As for the other students, Feng Qi had always been looking forward to them.
In the timelines, he experienced many stories with these future students of Breaking Dawn.
Especially Lu Yue.
He was a man of few words, but he stood steadfastly by his side. In many timelines, he even paid the price of his life for him.
That feeling was unforgettable.
Therefore, how to nurture them to grow quickly was also a problem that Feng Qi had been considering.
For the future, it was too lonely to move forward alone.
He needed reliablepanions.
The students in front of him had proven their determination in many timelines. They were worthy of being nurtured as future peers.
In this ss, Feng Qi seriously exined the thoughts of the cultivation technique.
After ss, he brought them to the field and sat on the ground to ask about their recent situation.
Just as he had expected, other than the monk who spent all his time fooling around, the other students went to self-study.
The monk was still ying the wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing.
ording to the monk¡¯s description on the sacrifice timeline, his main goal ining to Star City Academy was ¡°Le Ping¡¯an¡±.
The reason was that when the Prajna Domain Combat Team was secretly resisting the Spiritual Energy Race, they knew that a ¡°traitor faction¡± had appeared in the Spiritual Energy Race. They also knew that this traitor faction had taken away a miracle item.
This was a huge temptation for the Prajna Domain Combat Team, who was searching for miracle items. That was they secretly started many investigations.
Later, he investigated and found that the freshman Le Ping¡¯an¡¯s body contained some unknown energy during the physical examination.
This kind of energy was inconspicuous to the various factions, but it was familiar to the Prajna Domain Combat Team which was hiding in the dark to resist the Spiritual Energy Race. This was the ¡°death mark¡± that the Spiritual Energy Race used to control their subordinates.
From this, the Prajna Domain Combat Team spected that Le Ping¡¯an might be rted to the traitor faction of the Spiritual Energy Race.
The monk hade to the Star City Academy because he wanted to follow Le Ping¡¯an and find the traitor faction of the Spiritual Energy Race and the miracle item that had been snatched away.
After Le Ping¡¯an died, the monk was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not choose to leave at this time.
Currently, the monk was just fooling around in the academy, waiting for the right time to leave.
The only problem Feng Qi could not understand was why the monk would be a spiritual mentor in the future and not continue to control the Prajna Domain Combat Team and stand at the frontline against the domain creatures.
His guess in the previous timeline was that the monk might be secretly resisting the Dark God Race¡¯s faith-building n.
However, he had no idea what the exact answer was.
After conversing with the students, it was time for dinner.
Feng Qi, Who had not eaten in the academy¡¯s canteen for a long time, ate a lot this time. During this period, he kept thinking about his next n for the future.
8 p.m.
Feng Qi returned to the dormitory.
He went to the fridge and took out a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine. Then, he sat down in front of the desk.
Opening his notebook, he began to write his ns.
The n for this future timeline was very clear in his mind. What hecked was supplementary details.
As time passed, the page was filled with words.
Future n 1: Combat Timeline.
Direction: If I can verify that the Miracle Bracelet can establish a connection between my other self on the sacrifice timeline and my present self, allowing the sacrifice timeline to acquire innate abilities such as Blood Source and Purple Soul through mental connection, I will activate thebat timeline and engage forcefully against various factions.
Essential: This timeline only needs to ensure the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s survival. There¡¯s no need to worry about how it will affect the future. It can be as high-profile as possible..
Chapter 572 - 572: Start the Combat Timeline! (2)
Chapter 572: Start the Combat Timeline! (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Detailed n 1: The initiation of thebat timeline involves engaging in direct conflict with the domain faction. Without a stable base and concealment, as was the case with Breaking Dawn in the previous timeline, it is evident that they cannot consolidate formidablebat strength.
Note: Since I¡¯ve decided to start thebat timeline, I have to recruit Mu Qing, Lu Yue, and the other students to stand with me and tell them the truth about the future. Then, I have to establish a powerful alliance against the domain factions in Star City.
Detailed n 2: Once Breaking Dawn takes form, the initial objective is to eliminate all domain factions in Star City, establishing Star City as the rear support for humans in resisting various domain factions. This will attract more hidden human factions to join the cause.
The first factions that needed to be eliminated were the Night Shadow Race (Tiger Soul Research Institute), the Star City¡¯s weak race alliance, and the Dark God Race believers (they might not have appeared yet).
At this point, he suddenly thought of a problem.
If he initiated thebat timeline, he had to ensure that the rear was stable, and this rear referred to Star City.
However, for Star City, the most significant impending threat in the future was not the time after transmigration but the eventual arrival of the owner of the fog.
He couldn¡¯t cooperate with the owner of the fog on this future line.
After all, he was still unable to revive the owner of the fog¡¯s nsmen, let alone give any guarantees that would tempt the owner of the fog.
However, if he left the owner of the fog alone, it would surely attack.
After discovering that the situation in Star City was not right, the owner of the fog might even infiltrate Star City in another way, bringing many potential hidden dangers to Star City.
Considering hisprehension of Fog, he understood that its martial strength was of secondary importance.
What was most terrifying about it was its scheming ability.
Perhaps a huge bomb would be nted in Star City.
At the thought of this, he could not help but frown.
[You can start working with Fog in the future timeline. It¡¯s better to strike first in thisbat timeline. At most, I¡¯ll pay my respects to it often and eat the tributes in front of its tombstone to apologize!]
Hearing the narrator¡¯s reminder, Feng Qi¡¯s eyes became firm.
Then, he wrote it down in his notebook.
Detailed n 3: Send Mu Qing and Lu Yue to the Silent Domain Field and send Fog to its death in advance to prevent uncontroble factors from appearing in Star City in the future.
Detailed n 4: Take down the target, the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Note: Before this n starts, contact Li Xingchen from the Future Research Institute and work together to take down the Science and Technology Research Institute. Use violence to crack the mysteries of the ck Death Project.
Detailed n 5:
Feng Qi took several hours to write down the n for the firstbat timeline.
He had already nned theyout of thebat timeline in detail when he was at the Scarlet Research Institute. This time, it was mainly to refine the detailed arrangements after thebat timeline was initiated.
This was also one of the things that the owner of the fog taught him.
Only by strategizing could one win a battle.
The various instability factors in the known intelligence were listed in the n. Even if there were unexpected situations, he could face them with the calmest attitude.
Take one step before considering and taking the next three steps.
In the past, he only wrote ns for the future. But this time, he added the deduction of the changes that might happen in the future.
For example, if Mu Qing joined Breaking Dawn, it might bring about a series of future effects, and so on.
It was 11 p.m.
He finally finished writing the n for thebat timeline.
After flipping through it a few times and confirming that there were no logical problems, he stood up and walked to the fridge. He took out a bottle of cold drink, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp.
He looked out of the window. The dormitory building was still brightly lit.
At this moment, he returned to his seat, picked up a pen, and continued to n the future.
The n for thebat timeline was very clear, but he had to guard against any idents.
For example, the Miracle Bracelet could not connect to himself on the sacrifice timeline.
As a result, he would not have enoughbat strength to deal with the challenges of the various factions. He could be easily assassinated by external forces.
In such a situation, it was better not to initiate thebat timeline.
The previous sacrifice timeline was a living example.
Although the owner of the fog had already nned the future, a problem still arose.
Facing the sudden appearance of the Dark God Race, he had no way to deal with it. He could only surrender, causing the owner of the fog to give up on its ns and choose to risk its life to save him.
However, if it were the current him that had encountered the Dark God Race, the situation would have beenpletely different.
Once he activated his Blood Source form, the Dark God warriors would find themselves overpowered. The kidnapping would inevitably transform into a counterattack.
Therefore, his strength was important to hisbat timeline.
He had to consider how to n his next step in the future timeline if he could not lend his innate ability to himself on the sacrifice timeline.
Thinking of this, he flipped to a new page in his notebook and began to write his ns.
Future n 2: Ghost-Catching Timeline, Mu Yao Timeline
Direction: Continue to join the Dawn army and follow Mu Qing. Find the moles of the domain faction that might appear beside Mu Qing and find out the truth of the Dawn army¡¯s massacre.
He had nned this future timeline for a long time and had tested it.
During hisst involvement with the Dawnbat team, as the deputy leader of the team, he deviated from following Mu Qing, introducing variables into the situation.
Faced with the request for help from the Former Days Eastern Supply Area, he chose to take action personally.
As a result, he died during the escort mission.
However, he had also obtained a lot of useful information from that sacrifice timeline, making up for many of its shorings. It could be considered a win-lose situation.
If he were to activate the sacrifice timeline to join the Dawn army, he had to make changes.
The trial and error of the sacrifice timeline was to ensure would not make the same mistake a second time.
After joining the Dawnbat team this time, he would follow Mu Qing the entire time. To hell with being the deputy leader; staying alive was the key.
Future n 3: Enter Former Days City and explore the secrets of the Spiritual Energy Race.
This was the nning for a new future timeline.
ording to the current information, the Spiritual Energy Race was ying a huge game of chess.
However, the information he obtained was extremely limited.
He only knew that the Spiritual Energy Race had the miracle item, the Holy Spirit Consciousness Library. He also knew that the Spiritual Energy Race was nurturing an external domain faction with potential.
However, he had no way of knowing the exact reason for doing so.
If he chose this n, he would consider using the method of infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute to contact the Spiritual Energy Race and investigate their secrets.
As for how to investigate the secrets of the Spiritual Energy Race, it would depend on the adaptability of the sacrifice timeline. After all, the information avable was limited.
As he wrote, Feng Qi nned eight future directions for himself.
He hoped to activate thebat timeline.
After all, there was a lot of information now. It was time to use violence to investigate.
For example, the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Continuing to infiltrate, and understand the Science and Technology Research Institute¡¯s ck Death n through learning and growth was quite troublesome. The volume of knowledge to be acquired was also substantial.
Even if he entered, he would still have to face many challenges.
It was better to take them down and find out the truth about the ck Death Project.
There was another benefit to doing so.
Infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute might not stop ckie¡¯s birth.
If he could destroy the Science and Technology Research Institute violently, perhaps ckie wouldn¡¯t appear in the future world 1500 yearster.
As for the n to control ckie, he had to understand it first before thinking of a way.
Perhaps this sacrifice timeline could find out the secret behind ckie and control ckie in the next timeline.
At that time, he would take on all the domain factions¡
[Hold on, man, hold on. If you keep daydreaming like this, won¡¯t you be invincible in the world? I suggest you have some self-awareness. If you need to do the groundwork, then do it. Bing invincible is not impossible, but you¡¯re still a long way from achieving it.]
¡°Got it!¡±
The narrator¡¯s reminder brought him back to his senses.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If ckie were so easy to control, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute would have been invincible.
There were many variables that he did not understand.
After some thought, he stood up and picked up the iced Heart Cleansing Wine ced in front of the desk.
He sat down on the sofa, unscrewed the cap of the Heart Cleansing Wine, and began to pour it into his mouth.
After drinking about a third of it, he screwed the cap back on the bottle and put it back in the fridge.
He returned to the sofa and sat down. He summoned his attribute panel and switched to the energy progress bar.
As the medicinal liquid was digested, the percentage number on the energy progress bar began to jump up.
Soon, the energy progress bar reached 100%.
At this moment, hey on the sofa and closed his eyes.
As time passed, sleepiness washed over him, and his expression gradually became peaceful¡
Chapter 573 - 573: Fist Force (1)
Chapter 573: Fist Force (1)

Feng Qi sat up from the sofa, rubbing his dizzy head.
After a long while, he stood up, picked up his phone on the coffee table, and called Wei Wei.
After waiting for a while, the call went through.
At this moment, he said.
¡°Sister Wei, a new timeline has begun.¡±
¡°Got it.¡± Wei Wei, on the other end of the phone, appeared just asposed as him.
After hanging up, he stood up and went to the closet. He changed his clothes and left the dormitory.
The process was clear. Unless something unexpected happened, he only needed to follow the process.
Since the future timeline had begun, he decided to set off for the Scarlet Research Institute.
As for Mu Qing and Lu Yue¡¯s arrangements, he was not in a hurry.
The most important thing was to know if the mental connection of faith could be established and if he could obtain another of his innate abilities.
If he were unable to obtain an innate ability, he could only go with another timeline.
If he were to traverse the timeline of the Dawnbat team, revealing the truth to Mu Qing and the others could impact the subsequent ns of this sacrifice timeline.
After leaving the dormitory, he walked straight towards the main entrance of the academy.
To go to the Scarlet Research Institute, he had to apply for a long leave, but only Bai Fusheng had the authority to approve it.
However, it was early in the morning and inappropriate to apply for leave at this time.
He decided to head to the Scarlet Research Institute first and contact Bai Fusheng tomorrow.
Since he was a teacher and had the freedom to enter and leave the academy, he did not have to worry about being stopped by the security guards at the door.
However, he could imagine how furious Bai Fusheng would be when he received his leave application the next day. After all, he had just promised yesterday.
Thinking of this, he began to n his words.
If he wanted Old Bai to ept his leave dly, he could only give him a gratifying reason.
As he pondered, he quickly thought of a reasonable exnation.
He would cooperate with the Scarlet Research Institute to research cultivation techniques!
When the time came, he nned to have the director of the Scarlet Research Institute call Old Bai to reinforce the legitimacy of this excuse.
Half an hourter, he arrived at the main entrance of the academy.
After passing the security guard¡¯s identification, he walked out of the school gate and waited for the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s car to arrive.
He was a little worried about whether the Miracle Bracelet could establish a mental connection across space and time.
In the real world, Wei Wei could not prove this through experiments. She could only practice and understand it herself.
However, when he thought of the other miracle items¡¯ extraordinary functions, he was still looking forward to it.
After waiting for a long time, a military vehicle with the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s logo slowly stopped at the entrance.
Sitting in the driver¡¯s seat was a burly and fully armed soldier of the Scarlet Research Institute.
After greeting Feng Qi, he pressed the switch and opened the car door.
After Feng Qi got into the car, the scarlet military vehicle turned around and drove towards the Scarlet Research Institute.
3 a.m.
Feng Qi arrived at the Scarlet Research Institute and followed Wei Wei to Training Room 1.
This training room was specially set up for him by the Scarlet Research Institute. The most advanced training equipment and various physical data detection devices were ced inside.
There was also an expensive healing chamber in the corner for recovery after high-intensity training.
Feng Qi was no stranger to the environment here.
Previously, he underwent high-intensity physical training here before setting off at every sacrifice timeline.
However, this time, there was a jade statue standing at a height of 1.5 feet in the southern corner.
This statue was the jade statue that the Scarlet Research Institute and Wei Wei had carefully built for him. There was also another crystal mixed with his blood essence and mental power in the statue.
He followed Wei Wei to the statue and stood still. At this moment, Wei Wei turned around and looked at him.
¡°Can you do it?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi said helplessly.
¡°Let¡¯s give it a try. Saying I¡¯ll be my faith sounds like something only extremely narcissistic people would say.¡±
¡°Do you need me to leave?¡± Wei Wei smiled teasingly.
¡°No need. Kneeling is just a formality. I don¡¯t need it.¡±
As he spoke, Feng Qi came to his jade statue and sat down.
Looking at the statue holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other, he began to concentrate on his faith.
However, after concentrating for a moment, he could not help but shake his head.
This feeling was strange to him. He always felt that it was a little awkward. He could not be devout in his faith.
Unwilling to give up, he chose to try again.
As time passed, Feng Qi continued to fail.
After another failure, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.
At this moment, Wei Wei, who was standing at the side, ced her hand on his shoulder.
¡°Do you remember what I told you before? The essence of faith can also be a steadfast trust. My faith is constructed in this manner. Consider reflecting on your efforts across various sacrifice timelines.¡±
At this point, Wei Wei pondered for a moment and continued.
¡°Your faith in yourself can also be a strong emotion geared towards saving the world. There¡¯s no need to deliberately deify. You just need to use your pure emotions to build trust.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi¡¯s thoughts changed slightly.
It was difficult for him to believe in his other self, but he had never doubted the determination of his other self to save the world..
Chapter 574 - 574: Fist Force (2)
Chapter 574: Fist Force (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The hard work of multiple timelines was to firmly believe that his other self
would seed in the end.
The sacrifice was paving the way for his other self.
Wei Wei¡¯s words made him feel better. The awkwardness in his heart instantly dissipated.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the jade statue.
At this moment, the experiences of many timelines kept shing in his mind, as well as the dying blessings on the sacrifice timeline.
The trust in his heart grew increasingly steadfast.
He believed that his other self would seed and eventually lead mankind to a
glorious era.
At this moment, his emotions changed. The way he looked at the jade statue
also changed.
An inexplicable power grew in his heart.
Sacrifice, dedication, selflessness, ideals¡ Every emotion earned a kind of determination¡ªa determination called faith.
It had nothing to do with the faith of the gods. This faith was purer and did not contain any demands.
There were only selfless blessings and expectations.
Wisps of mental light slowly gathered in his sea of consciousness and
gradually lit up.
At this moment, he seemed to see a golden sea.
The initial mental connection was quietly established, and the firm trust was received by the Miracle Bracelet across space and time.
Finally, he felt the presence of his other self.
However, the other him in his perception seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. His sea of consciousness was extremely quiet,pletely different from the turbulent waves under normal circumstances.
When the sacrifice timeline was activated, he had always guessed what state
his other self was in.
Firstly, when the sacrifice timeline began, his other self would instantly transmigrate to the future 1,500 yearster.
Secondly, after the sacrifice timeline was activated, his other self would fall into a period of silence until he sessfully traveled to the future.
Judging from the state of his sea of consciousness, he was more inclined to the second judgment.
Traversing space and time required time. His other self was most likely still sleeping. However, when he woke up, he felt that only an instant had passed and had the illusion of transmigrating in an instant.
Now, he had nted the mental connection seed in his other mental sea.
He also saw the slowly spinning golden-red Origin Bead and the other innate ability beads.
However, at this stage, his mental light was still very weak. He could not move freely in this mental sea, let alone fuse into the innate ability bead.
But at least the mental connection had been sessfully established.
This meant that thebat timeline had taken the first step to sess.
Next, he only needed to strengthen his mental connection.
The process was like digging a ditch that led to the sea, allowing the seawater to follow the ditch into his pond.
The wider the ditch, the smoother it would be when borrowing strength.
At this moment, he opened his eyes with a smile.
¡°Looks like you seeded.¡±
¡°Sister Wei, thank you for your guidance.¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with me. Even if I don¡¯t remind you, you¡¯ll find a way sooner orter. The most important thing is whether you have firm trust in yourself.¡±
A charming smile appeared on Wei Wei¡¯s face.
¡°Establishing the mental connection is only the first step. The crucial part is whether you can control the mental medium to move freely in your other self¡¯s mental sea. At this stage, you should strengthen the connection, while I¡¯ll get busy first.¡±
Feng Qi closed his eyes again after he watched Wei Wei turn around and leave. What he needed now was to continuously deepen his mental connection and try to control the mental light to move freely in his other self¡¯s mental sea. He wanted to try to fuse with the innate ability bead and obtain an innate ability.
Three dayster.
After ending the mental connection thatsted the entire morning, Feng Qi, who felt a little tired, stood up.
Looking at his jade statue, he walked towards the data table in the corner of the training room.
Afterpleting the identification, the screen on the data table lit up, and many options appeared.
Scarlet Research Institute Content Search (Highest Authority Operation)
Training Video ess (Maximum Clearance)
Training Data ess-Real-time Recording of Physical Fitness Data
Connect to External Networks to Search for Information (Highest Authority Operation)
ess Star City¡¯s Surveince Cameras (Highest Authority Operation)
He was now one of the possessors of the highest authority in the Scarlet Research Institute. Be it internal or external information, he could obtain them in the name of the highest authority in the Scarlet Research Institute.
He dragged down the data list and selected the ¡°Cultivation Technique Database¡±.
Next, he decided to find a chance to be stronger through the cultivation technique library.
At this stage, there were very few cultivation techniques developed by human cultivation that could enhance him. If it was a cultivation techniqueparable to innate abilities like the Blood Source, there were even fewer options.
After all, the development of human cultivation was rtivelyte. Even after more than 500 years of development, its foundation was still shallow.
Choosing a suitable cultivation technique from the cultivation technique library was far less practical than borrowing an innate ability through mental faith. It also omitted the long process of cultivation and mastery.
But there were exceptions.
The development of human cultivation was like nting a tree. In addition to the main trunk growing continuously, there would also be many branches.
These branches could also be called ¡°unorthodox .
For example, the rune modification project waster ssified as cultivation. However, it could only be considered unorthodox and not mainstream at all.
This unorthodox content had a few obvious traits.
It was generally more unstable and had a higher risk factor when cultivating. Therefore, most of the unorthodox cultivation content was included in the forbidden technique and was not open to the outside world.
What Feng Qi wanted to find this time was a forbidden technique for human cultivation..

Chapter 575: Fist Force (3)

This forbidden technique was called Force.
He first understood Force from Lu Yue.
Lu Yue cultivated the Sword Force.
At that time, he was curious about Lu Yue¡¯s ability. After Lin Ran¡¯s exnation, he understood Force and specially checked the relevant information.
However, there were very few descriptions of Force on the Inte, and he did not have the authority to check the cultivation method.
He also learned from the Inte that Force was an extremely special cultivation method.
Sword Force, Aura Force, Saber Force¡ All kinds of attack methods could be condensed into Force. This was a kind of integration with the weapon¡¯s essence, Qi, and spirit.
Moreover, this ability had a distinctive trait: it had nothing to do with the quality and quantity of Spiritual Qi in his body.
The strength of Force was rted to one¡¯sprehension of Force.
Feng Qi was interested in this cultivation method.
Since he had activated thebat timeline, he decided to gain a deeper understanding and see if he could cultivate Force.
He opened the cultivation technique database and entered Force in the search bar.
After a short wait, relevant information appeared, including detailed information about Force.
ording to the description in the cultivation technique database, Force was a materialized presence. The conditions to cultivate Force were very harsh. One needed an extremely firm belief and willpower.
This was a mysterious special ability system.
In the early stages of development, many cultivators were unable to control their Force, causing them to suffer varying degrees of damage and even mental breakdown.
This was also the main reason why Force was listed as a forbidden technique.
If it was promoted on arge scale, it would impact the already shallow foundation of human cultivation.
After all, every cultivator was precious to human civilization. It was even more so during the early stages of the cmity when Force had just been developed. Therefore, he couldpletely understand why this cultivation method was listed as a forbidden technique.
As he continued to read, Feng Qi gained a deeper understanding of Force.
The reason why he was so interested in Force cultivation was that it had nothing to do with the cultivation concepts of the human body¡¯s meridians and so on.
If he were to learn Force in the sacrifice timeline, he could easily master it when he couldn¡¯t cultivate it normally in reality.
This was like a special knowledge.
It could not be described with words, but the concept existed.
Other than that, there was another important reason why he was interested in Force.
The cultivation of Force was generally rted to weapons. The process of cultivation was to continuously integrate with the weapon and reach the stage of bing one with the weapon, creating an aura.
Just like the Sword Force Domain created by Lu Yue, the Sword Qi inside it was rampant and shockingly lethal.
He had once wondered if he could cultivate a Force through a simr method.
As for the choice of weapons, he wouldn¡¯t use cold weapons like knives or swords.
After fighting in multiple timelines and future dreams, he had found abat style that was suitable for him.
Compared to cold weapons, he was more suitable to fight with his fists.
Only close-quartersbat could ignite the passion in his heart.
His innate abilities were also well-suited forbat characteristics, especially the two most crucial abilities, Blood Source and Purple Soul, which defined his dominating and fiercebat style.
If he tried to cultivate Force, there was only one choice.
That was Fist Force.
Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but think of the narrator.
¡°If the narrator were here, he would undoubtedly be eager to shower some praises..¡±

Scarlet Research Institute.
In Training Room 1.
Sweat flowed down Feng Qi¡¯s forehead, and his fair skin turned rosy from the high-intensity training.
¡°Yes, yes, Grandmaster, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll study hard and cooperate with the Scarlet Research Institute toplete this cultivation technique test experiment.¡±
After a series of ¡°sincere¡± assurances, he hung up Bai Fusheng¡¯s call.
After putting down his phone, he returned to the wooden stake and stood still, continuing to practice punching.
After confirming whether he could control the mental medium to move freely in his other self¡¯s mental sea and fuse with his innate ability, Feng Qi had already thought of his next n.
First, he meditated every day to strengthen his mental connection with his other self.
Next, he cultivated Fist Force.
If he could master Fist Force at the sacrifice timeline, this ability could also increase his other self¡¯s strength.
The punchesnded one after another, and sweat kept flowing, drenching the ground.
The cultivation of Force was divided into several traits ording to the information.
Finding Force that matched hisbat style was the first step in cultivating it.
Even the same weapon had different Force traits.
For example, the Sword Force that Lu Yue cultivated could also be divided into three traits. They were Sharp Sword Force, Blunt Sword Force, and Split Sword Force.
They corresponded to three traits: attack, defense, and bnce.
Lu Yue had chosen the Sharp Sword Force. Once he activated his stance, sharp sword auras crisscrossed.
It was simr for the other Forces.
The first step of cultivation required precise positioning.
Feng Qi did not hesitate in this choice.
His fighting style was not suitable for defensive counterattacks or bnced battles. Only an indomitable and domineering attack was his style.
After making his choice, he needed toprehend his fist intent.
The reason why he kept punching and training was to nurture his fist intent in his heart.
Every time he punched, he had to have an indomitable aura.
Only in this way could he nurture that domineering Fist Force.
After personally experiencing the cultivation of Force, he understood why Lu Yue¡¯s Jian Lan had never attacked humans.
The reason was simple: Lu Yue cultivated the Sharp Sword Force.
Every time he swung his sword, he would make a killing move. It was during this process that he nurtured an unstoppable sword intent.
If heunched an attack, his Sword Force would dictate that he could not easily withdraw his sword.
It was the same for the Fist Force he was cultivating now.
Every time he punched, his heart had to be as firm as a rock. Even if there was a mountain in front of him, he had to wave it forward without any hesitation.
After all, with the thought of retracting in his mind, this punch was no longer indomitable.
If he hesitated, he would fail.
It was just like how martial artists had to cultivate some evil aura in their hearts. The initial stage of the cultivation of fist intent was to constantly punch to condense the aura of one¡¯s punch.
This Force would continue to solidify as it grew and even form a Fist Force aura around him.
As he punched continuously, Feng Qi imagined himself transforming into the Blood Source form. His mental state also changed during training.
Until his hands were badly mangled, he stopped training.
Panting heavily, he waved his hand to wipe away the sweat that had fallen from his forehead to the corners of his eyes and walked towards the healing chamber.
An hourter, afterpleting his recuperation, he changed into a martial arts attire and sat in front of the jade statue. He began to deepen his mental connection through meditation.
He lost track of time during training.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a trace of fatigue in them.
However, this fatigue did note from the physical body, but from the mental level.
He stood up and went to the special wooden stake again.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his state of mind.
A momentter, he threw a punch at the wooden stake and started his Fist Force training again.
The martial arts attire that was drenched in sweat disyed Feng Qi¡¯s hard work and struggle.
Even if it was a sacrifice timeline, he wanted to shine for himself.
Day after day, two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Every day, other than eating and sleeping, Feng Qi devoted himself to training.
On this day, Feng Qi was training his Fist Force as usual.
When he swung his right fist at the special wooden stake after umting power, he suddenly felt as if power was hatching in his body and finally breaking out of the cocoon.
This punch was thrown smoothly as if there was no air resistance as it smashed towards the wooden stake.
Before his fist coulde into contact with the wooden stake, ayer of faint red light appeared on the surface of his fist. Right on the heels of that, it left his fist and transformed into a red fist shadow that smashed towards the special wooden stake.
Pow!
After a crisp sound, a clear fist mark was left on the wooden stake.
Looking at the fist mark, Feng Qi grinned.
He knew he had seeded.
The cultivation of Fist Force matched his mental state. As his mental state had experienced many indomitable battles, he could understand what kind of mentality this was.
However, he did not expect that he had only used two months to nurture a portion of the domineering Fist Force.
He closed his eyes at this moment.
He could not sense the fist intent through his mental consciousness, but he could vaguely feel a dancing me burning in his chest.
This me was the fist intent he had cultivated, and it was also the mark of his battle will.
At this moment, he opened his eyes. A ferocious glint appeared in his eyes as he punched the wooden stake with his right fist again.
There was no need to think about it deliberately. As he punched, his mental state automatically matched. The surface of the red stream of air gathered on the fist, and it was as natural as Lu Yue¡¯s sword energy. After it left the fist, it smashed into the wooden stake..

The special wooden stake produced by the domain field had reached the C-grade hardness index.
However, under the bombardment of the fist shadows, wood shavings flew everywhere, leaving a clear fist mark.
Feng Qi clenched his fists excitedly.
His Fist Force had finally reached the elementary level.
Although it was still far from Lu Yue¡¯s, which could be easily activated, it was still a significant improvement from 0 to 1.
At this moment, he pulled away from the wooden stake.
Feeling the fist intent mes burning in his chest, he punched the wooden stake one after another.
Immediately, several shadows of fists flew out from his fists and struck the special wooden stake. In the blink of an eye, the wooden stake broke inch by inch from top to bottom.
After experiencing the power of Fist Force, Feng Qi became even more interested in cultivating it.
He lowered his head and looked at his fists which were already covered in wounds. Then, he looked at the wooden stake that was only left with the base. A smile appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Wei Wei¡¯s voice came from the broadcast above.
¡°I caught you! Student Feng Qi has been found deliberately damaging the training equipment! Please pay a fine in the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s meeting room.¡±
II II
Realizing that the higher-ups of the Scarlet Research Institute were looking for him, he walked towards the cubicle bathroom.
After spending a few minutes washing up, he took a brand new martial arts attire from the closet and changed into it. Then, he left the training room and walked straight to the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s meeting room.
A momentter, he arrived at the entrance of the meeting room.
After passing through several security checks and changing into a new set of clothes that shield signals, he entered the meeting room.
The meeting room exuded a technological ambiance, adorned in blue and ck decor. The lighting cast a light blue hue, and the room was moderately sized. A ck, metal-textured round conference table upied the center, around which Wei Wei and other high-ranking members of the Scarlet Research Institute were seated.
He came to his seat and sat down. He looked up at the director of the Scarlet Research Institute.
The white-haired director said.
¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s begin the meeting. I¡¯ll exin the reason for this meeting first.¡±
¡°These few days, I got Xiao Wei to use Ah Qi¡¯s remaining blood essence and mental residue to create another jade statue. This statue is currently ced in my room. Through these few days of hard work, I¡¯ve also established a mental connection with the jade statue¡¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi looked surprised.
He did not expect the director to establish a mental connection with his other self through faith.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly did not feel so surprised.
The director had once said something that left a deep impression on him.
That was when they were discussing Breaking Dawn at a Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s meeting.
The director earnestly conveyed to him that the Breaking Dawn g raised 1500 years in the future was a form of mental inheritance. The Scarlet Research Institute, as a member of Breaking Dawn, would consistently stand steadfastly behind him. It was also an unwaveringpanion on his path to salvation.
From this, it could be seen how much trust the director had in him.
Like Wei Wei, he had entrusted his entire future to him.
The contribution of multiple timelines proved one thing.
With Wei Wei¡¯s position in the institute, many things could not be decided with a single word. Thus, the director had also sacrificed a lot behind the scenes.
At the thought of this, he looked at the director with a touched expression.
At this moment, the director continued.
¡°I called everyone for a meeting this time because I have an idea. If Ah Qi can demonstrate that we can seamlessly integrate his other innate ability through mental connection, maybe we can also acquire the innate ability we need through our faith in Ah Qi.¡±
¡°For example, Ah Qi once mentioned the Infinite Memory ability. If Ah Qi possesses this ability, we can potentially harness a portion of the ability to remember endlessly through faith. This would be highly beneficial and enhance our various scientific research projects.¡±
¡°In addition, the innate ability to enhance active thinking and creative abilities¡ These capabilities can significantly boost our progress in scientific research.¡±
¡°The focus of this meeting¡¯s discussion is centered on identifying which innate ability can be retained without the need for dposition, provided it is feasible to borrow the innate ability¡¡±
Feng Qi realized this after hearing the director¡¯s exnation.
He understood what the director was trying to say.
If the method of borrowing power proved feasible, as long as people who believed in him could benefit from it, he was not the only one who could do it.
Thebat-oriented abilities might not be important to the researchers of the Scarlet Research Institute. After all, they did not need to participate in the battle in the future. However, if it helped improve their scientific research progress, it would bring obvious returns.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, the Scarlet Research Institute had only created two virtual domain dungeons after more than 1,000 years of hard work.
After experiencing it personally, he realized how much effort the Scarlet Research Institute had put in.
The simplest flowers and nts in the scene were almost perfect replicas of reality. Creating two virtual dungeons was already the limit of the Scarlet Research Institute. Moreover, other projects needed to be allocated resources for research.
If the director¡¯s idea was feasible, he would obtain an innate ability simr to Infinite Memory, which was equivalent to adding a point to the ¡°Intelligence¡± of all the researchers. The value created after more than 1,000 years would be greatly increased.
In addition, other research results would also be affected.
Perhaps there would be unexpected research results during this period.
After all, some inspirations could only be born from a moment of insight. What wascking was the sudden inspiration thates with adding a point to Intelligence..

The director hoped that all the Scarlet Research Institute researchers would try to believe in him and benefit from it. However, his ultimate goal was to create value for him.
Following that, the higher-ups of the Scarlet Research Institute started discussing this topic.
Listening to their discussion, Feng Qi made a decision.
In the future, when he obtained such an ability, he would choose to stay and not feed it to Three Tails for dposition.
This support enhancement ability could have a positive impact on the entire Scarlet Research Institute, especially after more than 1,000 years of precipitation. The impact would be more far-reaching.
After the meeting, he left the meeting room with Wei Wei.
After returning to Training Room 1, Feng Qi resumed the high-intensity training.
Now, he had already mastered the basics of Fist Force.
However, he had only grasped the surface. He was still far from condensing his own Fist Force Domain.
Every punch he threw during training would make his fist intent more solid.
Physical training was secondary; the most important thing was mental tempering.
Only by tempering it thousands of times could one forge an indestructible fist intent.
His fists were shattered thousands of times under the ceaseless blows, developing calluses. Eventually, they even started to bleed.
But the physical pain could not shake Feng Qi¡¯s heart at all.
He had experienced all kinds of extreme pain in many timelines.
Like the fear and pain in his heart when he waved the butcher¡¯s knife at his fellow human beings.
Like the torture of flesh constantly rotting during biochemical modification.
He endured the despair of being abandoned by the entire world when he was held on the execution tform and executed as a human traitor.
When he saw Wei Wei, Lin Ran, and Li Xingchen sacrifice themselves for their ideals¡
At this point, the pain in his body could no longer move him. It would only be a whetstone for him to sharpen and grow.
The more he experienced, the more he realized that some pain was insignificant.
His fists kept striking the wooden stake. Wood shavings mixed with sweat and blood sttered. Feng Qi¡¯s gaze was firm.
Every punch he threw was with all his might, pressing forward with indomitable will.
He realized that his mental state had reached a perfect match with the Fist Force during training.
It was as if he was rushing on the path to a glorious era¡ªdetermined and indomitable.
Even if there was a mountain in front of him, he would smash it to open a path and continue forward.
During training, he realized that the various drawbacks and repercussions of Force did not appear on him as described in the information.
For example, mental damage.
He even felt that his energy had recovered a little during training.
From this, it could be seen that the problem with the cultivation of Force was not the cultivation method itself, but whether the cultivator¡¯s mental state could integrate with the cultivation of Force.
If the Force one cultivated was notpatible with one¡¯s personality and mental state, one would suffer the bacsh of Force.
A perfectly matched Fist Force would only be a help to one in all aspects.
Feeling the mes of the Fist Force burning in his chest, he felt his strength increase steadily. At this moment, he was ted.
The process of cultivating Fist Force was more like an affirmation of his choice of path.
Every punch was an acknowledgment of himself.
Pow!
At the same time that his mental state changed, Feng Qi unintentionally threw another punch.
This time, he only used one strike to shatter the special wooden stake. The fist shadow continued to smash into the metal wall not far away, leaving a clear fist mark.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
At this moment, his fist intent advanced again..

Two monthster.
Scarlet Research Institute, Training Room 1.
Feng Qi wore a red martial arts attire. He sat cross-legged in front of the jade statue and meditated to deepen his mental connection with his other self.
Compared to when he first established the mental connection, the faint light in his sea of consciousness had grown more than five times.
However, he still couldn¡¯t move freely in his sea of consciousness, let alone integrate into the spinning innate ability bead to obtain the innate ability trait.
In meditation.
His breathing slowed down. He could feel his mental strength being continuously absorbed by the jade statue.
As for the absorbed mental power, it had clearly turned into pure power of faith and was taken away by the Miracle Bracelet.
At this moment, the door to the training room was pushed open.
Upon hearing the voice, Feng Qi immediately opened his eyes and turned around.
The person who arrived was a burly middle-aged man. He wore a special armor forged from spirit ores produced by a domain field, and there was a dagger on his left calf and waist.
It could be seen that he was a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. Many parts of his armor had fallen off and were worn out. His indifferent eyes revealed a trace of killing intent.
He walked to the center of the training ground and stood still. Then, he waved at Feng Qi.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately stood up and walked towards the burly man.
¡°Uncle Gu.¡±
Feng Qi stood in front of the man and nodded in greeting.
The burly man in front of him was called Gu Ke. He could be considered an old acquaintance from many timelines.
Back when the Scarlet Research Institute established the special forces team to recover the brain, Gu Ke was the overall person in charge of this team.
In the previous timeline, when he and the owner of the fog fell unconscious outside Former Days City, it was Gu Ke who led a team to bring him back to the Scarlet Research Institute.
From Wei Wei¡¯s description, he learned that Gu Ke was also a frontline warrior.
After graduating from the Winter Academy, he established abat team with a group of students when he was young. He had worked hard to turn thisbat team into an A-grade domainbat team and obtained the Medal of Outstanding Contribution.
In the early years, he was even evaluated as one of the top 10 rookie warriors in the Winter Academy¡¯s frontline and obtained many honors.
Choosing to join the Scarlet Research Institute was an ident.
At that time, Gu Ke had led a team to undertake a mission assigned by the Science and Technology Research Institute. It involved going to the domain field to collect a special spiritual material called the Temptation Grass.
In the end, they encountered the strongest race in the domain field and were almost wiped out.
Gu Ke was also poisoned and almost died. Fortunately, the warriors of the other jointbat teams risked their lives to protect him and brought him out of the domain field.
At that time, Gu Ke was sent to the hospital in Winterfrost for emergency treatment.
The doctors in Winterfrost Supply Area were powerless against the poison in Gu Ke¡¯s body.
As this was a newly discovered poison, it would take a considerable amount of time to develop an antidote.
However, Gu Ke¡¯s life was in danger.
Just as the hospital was about to give up, Wei Wei, who was interested in the poison in Gu Ke¡¯s body, sent a private ne to pick him up and bring him back to the Scarlet Research Institute.
When they arrived at the Scarlet Research Institute, Gu Ke was unconscious and on the verge of death.
Fortunately, he met Wei Wei.
In the end, with Wei Wei¡¯s help, the poison in his body was sessfully removed and his life was saved.
However, because the treatment was toote, the poison destroyed Gu Ke¡¯s bodily functions, causing him to be paralyzed in a wheelchair.
At that time, Gu Ke was dispirited.
An unforeseen event had caused him to lose all his team members andpanions. He had also be a cripple. There was no longer any meaning in living.
At that time, the director often counseled Gu Ke and gave him psychological treatment.
In the end, it was the director who suggested that Gu Ke join the Rune Transformation Project.
Faced with the hope of standing up again, Gu Ke chose to ept it.
This surgery was sessful. Gu Kepleted the rune transformation experiment and became a rune warrior. After that, he chose to join the Scarlet Research Institute and be a member of itsbat team.
Over the years, Gu Ke contributed greatly to the development of the Scarlet Research Institute.
After many probes and tests, the Scarlet Research Institute trusted Gu Ke.
Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with such an important task as retrieving the brain.
Looking at Gu Ke who was standing in front of him, Feng Qi took two steps back and stood still. He assumed the starting stance of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
¡°Uncle Gu, be careful. It¡¯s hard for me to hold back my punch!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, the rune crystal on my bodyes from a Behemoth, and its healing power surpasses that of the Demon Dragon. Even if my limbs are broken, they can grow back with enough time. So, don¡¯t worry about causing harm.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi attacked.
As he twisted his body, his right fist, which had been storing power, suddenly smashed towards Gu Ke.
The mes burning in his chest soared at this moment.
The red fist shadow left his fist and smashed towards Gu Ke¡¯s chest like an unsheathed sword aura.
Gu Ke¡¯s reaction was quick. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and caught the fist shadow. His body slid a few meters away from the force.
Looking down at the burn marks on his arm, a smile appeared on Gu Ke¡¯s face.
¡°Interesting. Go on,e at me with all your might.¡±
After hearing this, Feng Qi pounced at Gu Ke.
After choosing Fist Force, there was no retreat in battle. Any hesitation would weaken the lethality of his fist intent.
As their figures intertwined, red fist shadows danced.
Gu Ke was going easy on him in the battle.
Feng Qi¡¯s current strength was entirely derived from Fist Force, but his physique was still quite weak before he obtained the enhancement of his innate ability..
Chapter 580 - 580: Combat Body Condensation (2)
Chapter 580: Combat Body Condensation (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
In a life-and-death battle, Gu Ke could kill him on the spot within a short period, even if he were injured.
However, Gu Ke¡¯s purpose ining here was to train with him in the actualbat of Fist Force. Obviously, he would not employ any lethal techniques.
An hourter, Feng Qi panted as he stopped fighting.
Looking at Gu Ke, who was at ease, he waved his hand.
¡°Uncle Gu, I can¡¯t break your defense at all.¡±
¡°I¡¯lle again at this time tomorrow. The director has instructed me to train with you for a while every day.¡± With that, Gu Ke turned around and walked towards the door of the training room.
Looking at Gu Ke¡¯s back as he left, he panted heavily and began to recall the battle scene just now, looking for ws.
Strength was of utmost importance in thisbat timeline.
Although he could not borrow his innate ability yet, he did not want to waste time. He wanted to increase his strength as much as possible.
Once thebat timeline was officially activated, there would be many challenges in the future.
The weak race alliance, the Night Shadow Race, the owner of the fog, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, the blue-skinned assassins, the Dark God Race, the Spiritual Energy Race¡ and new domain factions might appear on thisbat timeline.
If he were not strong enough, he might not even be able to avoid assassination.
There would be no need to talk about leading Breaking Dawn to deal with many challenges.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi turned around and walked towards the jade statue.
After sitting down cross-legged, he closed his eyes.
Soon, he entered a meditative state again.
A yearter.
On this day, Feng Qi, who was wearing red martial arts attire, sat cross-legged in front of the jade statue.
In the world of his sea of consciousness that was connected by the medium, the mental light that belonged to him was already the size of a thumb. It also slowly shrank with the fluctuation of his sea of consciousness.
Feng Qi¡¯s consciousness was focused on the mental light at this moment. He tried to control the mental light to move.
This was his fourth attempt in more than a year.
The first three failed.
Every time he controlled the mental light to move, he could feel strong resistanceing from all directions.
It was extremely difficult to move.
Under his control, the mental light trembled slightly and extended tiny tentacles invisible to the naked eye towards the golden-red Origin Bead.
However, the tentacles only extended an inch before they could not advance any further.
It was as if there was a huge mountain blocking in front of them.
Faced with the challenge, Feng Qi held his breath and focused. He continued to control the faint light to spread to the golden tentacles.
After a moment of stalemate, he felt discouraged. When he opened his eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.
It had been more than a year since he established a mental connection.
However, there was no shortcut to the growth of the mental light. He could only deepen the connection through meditation like a devout believer.
He could control his mental light to spread out his tentacles in his other mental sea, but there was a big gap between him and being able to move freely.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi felt a headache.
He could not spend his entire life establishing a mental connection with the god in his heart like a true devout believer.
If borrowing an innate ability required 10 or 20 years of hard work, not to mention whether he would die in an ident midway, theyout of thisbat timeline would also bepletely messed up.
There was not much time left for him.
He couldn¡¯t wait for Lin Ran and Mu Qing to graduate before starting thebat timeline.
At this moment, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
A momentter, Feng Qi, who had changed into a brand new martial arts attire, left the training room and went to Wei Wei¡¯s privateboratory.
At this moment, Wei Wei was sitting in front of the control panel and checking the data.
Upon seeing him arrive, she smiled and asked.
¡°You can¡¯t control the mental light to move freely yet, huh?¡±
Feng Qi sat down beside Wei Wei and nodded gloomily.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m confident in the mental light¡¯s freedom of movement, but the process of deepening the connection is too slow. I don¡¯t have decades to deepen this connection.¡±
When Wei Wei heard this, she smiled and nodded.
¡°Should we start the second n?¡±
¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m here for,¡± Feng Qi said with a nod.
The second n that Wei Wei mentioned could speed up the mental connection he had with his other self.
But there was a price to pay.
Before entering the future dream, he had left behind arge amount of blood.
At that time, almost two-thirds of the blood in his body had been extracted by Wei Wei for subsequent experiments.
Drinking this blood had the effect of deepening the mental connection.
However, drinking blood also had many aftereffects.
His other self¡¯s blood contained all kinds of energy, such as Blood Source energy, Evil Thoughts energy, and so on.
The special physique of this mixed energy could withstand it, but it was extremely difficult for his body to withstand it.
After the experiment, it was discovered that mice who drank diluted blood for a long time would be extremely irritable and bloodthirsty. Their bodies would also mutate.
In the end, their bodies exploded.
If bathing and drinking holy water in the system of gods could be blessed by the gods, then drinking his blood would be cursed with evil.
Back then, Wei Wei chose to give up on drinking his blood because of this reason.
As for filtering theplicated energy in the blood, Wei Wei had made some initial progress after more than a year of hard work. However, she was still unable to eliminate theplicated energy at this stage.
Facing his decision, Wei Wei nodded and said.
¡°Other than using your blood to build the second statue and for experiments, there¡¯s still a third of your blood left. Give it a try..¡±

As she spoke, Wei Wei stood up and walked towards the cold storage cab.
A momentter, Wei Wei came to him with a tube of blood.
¡°This is diluted blood. Let¡¯s see if your body can withstand it.¡±
Taking the diluted blood from Wei Wei, Feng Qi opened his mouth and took a small sip.
The blood had no smell, but when it entered the body, it was like a burning me, releasing rich energy.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi¡¯s skin turned red.
He felt his body begin to tremble uncontrobly, and a hint of scarlet appeared in his eyes.
This feeling came and went quickly.
A momentter, Feng Qi, who had regained his senses, could not help but shake his head.
¡°It¡¯s really strong, but it¡¯s still bearable!¡±
As he spoke, he looked up at Wei Wei.
¡°Sister Wei, what¡¯s the maximum I can consume per day?¡±
¡°Although I¡¯ve diluted and modified your blood, it still contains arge amount of negative, positive, and otherplicated energy. The special physique of your other self can perfectly fuse all kinds of energy in your blood, but you still can¡¯t do it.¡±
¡°This blood is like poison to you. Every time you drink it, you will absorb the various energies contained in it, causing a burden to your body. When the burden umted in your body exceeds the range of your body and mind, you will instantly die.¡±
After hearing Wei Wei¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi finally understood.
It didn¡¯t matter how much he drank every day. Once he drank enough, he would die on the spot.
But he still decided to try.
The sacrifice timeline was meant to be used for trial and error. He no longer had any psychological burden regarding this.
At this thought, he looked at Mu Qing and said.
¡°Sister Wei, test thetest data on my body and adjust the upper limit that I can withstand.¡±
Wei Wei shook her head and said.
¡°The upper limit of your body¡¯s endurance can be urately obtained through data, but your blood still contains mental damage. In this aspect, I can¡¯t calcte the upper limit for you with the current technology.¡±
¡°Then let¡¯s do it based on feelings.¡±
Faced with his request, Wei Wei didn¡¯t say anything else. She stood up and walked to the cold storage cab.
Two dayster.
In Training Room 1.
Feng Qi sat cross-legged in front of the jade statue. His body was filled with needles and tubes. The diluted blood kept entering his body through the infusion tube.
Wei Wei stood at the side and stared at the rising load value on the screen in her hand. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, Feng Qi¡¯s consciousness was in the mental sea of his other self.
As his body continued to absorb the energy contained in the blood, the mental light he sensed began to grow at a visible speed.
This process was undoubtedly encouraging.
But to speed up the activation of thebat timeline, he had no other choice.
As time passed, his body was like a cooked prawn. His entire body was red, and his body began to tremble uncontrobly.
At the same time, the mental light also strengthened several times in a short period.
Finally, Feng Qi chose to control the mental light to spread out the golden tentacles that flew towards the golden-red bead.
It was like swimming in an extremely dense liquid. The advancement was filled with resistance.
But this time, even if he advanced slowly, he was still making progress.
Finally, when his body could not take it anymore, his mental light came into contact with the Origin Bead.
In an instant, the mental light was sucked into the golden-red Origin Bead.
The talent trait began to be instilled through a weak connection.
At the same time, his body, which could no longer withstand more energy in the outside world, exploded.
Amid the flying flesh and blood, a skeleton with blood and purple patterns slowly stood up¡

As flesh and blood sttered, Wei Wei narrowed her eyes.
She was used to the bloody scenes in various experiments and did not panic at
all.
At this moment, she sensed a familiar force descending not far in front of her.
She was no stranger to this power.
After establishing a mental connection with Feng Qi in the main timeline, she often sensed the aura of this power.
However, she still couldn¡¯t be sure if Feng Qi had seeded or if he had failed right on the heels of sess.
With anticipation, when the blood mist spread and faded, she saw a skeleton with blood and purple patterns imprinted on its bones.
The surface of the skeleton was covered in ayer of crystalline hue, giving it
an extremely fierce appearance.
He stood there like a demon that had crawled out of hell, his entire body filled with the aura of death.
Wei Wei had only seen such an aura on those domain life forms that had ughtered arge number of lives. Inparison, Feng Qi¡¯s Skeletal form was not inferior.
At this moment, Feng Qi felt lucky.
He was only one step away from death.
If he had not fused the mental medium into the Origin Bead at the critical moment, he would have died instantly.
Fortunately, he seeded.
However, afterpleting the fusion, he also discovered many potential problems.
Firstly, his control over the ability given by the Origin Bead did not seem to be that strong.
in the main timeline, he would not feel awkward switching his origin innate ability to any form. It was as natural as breathing.
But the situation was different now.
The innate ability he borrowed did not feel easy to use.
Feng Qi did not care about this.
After all, his body in the main timeline hadpletely mutated. His ordinary body was iparable to it.
He was more concerned about whether the narrator had also followed him after he grasped the origin innate ability.
His heart was filled with anticipation.
The narrator was unreliable most of the time, but at critical moments, he was a trustworthy partner.
Thinking of this, he roared in his heart.
¡°Narrator, don¡¯t y dead. Come out!
Silence¡
He wasn¡¯t sure if the narrator was ying dead or if he hadn¡¯t followed him.
Both guesses were possible.
Therefore, he chose to use his ultimate move.
¡°Narrator, your Father is ordering you toe out!¡±
This move was always effective.
In the face of his provocation, the narrator would always jump out in exasperation to counterattack.
But this time, the narrator still did not respond.
Regarding this, he could only think that the narrator did not follow him. From this, it could be seen that the special abilities mastered by the narrator and the main timeline were not intertwined butpletely independent existences.
At this moment, Wei Wei¡¯s voice interrupted his thoughts.
¡°Are you¡ still alive?¡±
Faced with Wei Wei¡¯s question, Feng Qi, who had already transformed into hisbat body, opened his mouth.
However, the pure Skeletal form did not have vocal cords. He could not answer Wei Wei¡¯s question at all.
Thus, he sent his consciousness out of his body and into Wei Wei¡¯s mind.
¡°Sister Wei, I¡¯ve seeded!¡±
Hearing the voice in her mind, Wei Wei was stunned for a moment before nodding.
¡°That¡¯s great. Think of a way to return to your human form first. You¡¯re not used tomunicating with your consciousness¡ How about this? Come with me to Laboratory 3 to replenish your blood and Qi.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
Then, he followed Wei Wei and left Training Room 1.
On the way to Laboratory 3, Feng Qi began to test his innate ability.
At this stage, he had sessfully obtained the origin ability, but he did not know if he could control the other innate abilities.
The reason he chose to fuse with the Origin Bead first was that he believed if all the innate ability beads revolved around the Origin Bead, he might be able to master other abilities through it.
Or he could strengthen his connection with other abilities through the Origin Bead.
However, he soon realized that his guess was only half right.
Through the Origin Bead that had already fused with his mental medium, he could control other innate abilities. However, he could not control them flexibly like in the main timeline.
In the main timeline, he only needed a thought to use various innate abilities.
This thought was so short that itsted for an instant.
For example, when using an innate ability in the main timeline, it was like a normal person wanting to raise their right hand. Then, their right hand would naturally be raised. During this period, there was no need to deliberately think about what to do to raise their right hand.
However, he was different on the sacrifice timeline.
He was borrowing an ability and the process was like controlling a marite. Controlling too many innate abilities was like controlling arge number of wires. He could not manage them at all, and his energy would be exhausted in a short period.
For example, when he activated the Blood Source form, it would be difficult for him to use other innate abilities. He would not be able to use multiple innate abilities in battle at the same time.
This aspect was very limited and could not be controlled as freely as in the main timeline.
However, he felt that as long as he continued to strengthen his mental connection, this problem might be resolved.
However, it was unrealistic to control all abilities as easily as in the mam timeline.
Although Feng Qi had some regrets about this, he was mentally prepared and was not surprised.
A momentter, he followed Wei Wei to Laboratory 3.
After scanning and verifying his identity, the green light that allowed entry lit up above the door frame.
Pushing open the door, a breeding farm came into view. Other than the corridor in the middle, there was a breeding area separated by special ss on both sides..
Chapter 583 - 583: Flesh Reforging (2)
Chapter 583 - 583: Flesh Reforging (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Each enclosure housed various animals bred for experimental purposes.
For example, mice, cows, sheep, and other animals.
Next, he needed to ughter them to absorb blood and Qi and convert them into flesh and blood.
He came to the ss door of the cow farm and pressed the start button. Immediately, the ss door slowly moved to the side and opened.
Stepping through the ss door, Feng Qi pounced on a cow nearby.
Borrowing an innate ability did not mean that he had obtained the power of himself in the main timeline.
Feng Qi knew this very well.
For example, he had also activated his Blood Source form. In the main timeline, he could reach a height of more than 16 feet, but this level couldn¡¯t be attained on the sacrifice timeline.
He was only borrowing traits of strength, not strength itself.
Activating the Blood Source form consumed his blood and Qi.
With his current physique, even if hisbat strength would increase greatly after activating the Blood Source, there was still a significant differencepared to the main timeline.
However, against ordinary animals, his currentbat body form was enough to deal with them.
As the fist shadow appeared, the cow¡¯s head instantly caved in. Its body flew a few feet away and was instantly killed.
However, what surprised him was that no blood essence could be absorbed from the dead cow.
Looking at the cow, who had lost all signs of life, Feng Qi could not help but mutter, ¡±Sh*t¡¡±
He realized something very serious.
Although he had borrowed his other self¡¯s origin trait, he did not obtain the ability to absorb the blood and Qi of the dead.
The ability to absorb blood and Qi was the same as the narrator¡ªit was not tied to innate abilities.
So¡ what should I do next?
If he could not absorb blood and Qi, he would not be able to return to his human form.
If he could not return to his human form, he would not be able to activate thebat timeline.
He could not possibly recruit warriors in his Skeletal form and cooperate with other hidden human forces, right?
He took a few steps forward in disbelief and began to check the vitality of the cow. He thought that perhaps the cow was not dead.
After a round of examination, he gave up.
In his Skeletal form, even the possibility of drinking blood was halted.
How could he change back to his human form? His head hurt.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wei Wei¡¯s voice came from behind.
¡°I faced a very troublesome problem,¡± Feng Qi replied through telepathy.
Then, he exined his predicament to Wei Wei in detail.
After hearing his story, Wei Wei immediately said that she might be able to try other methods.
Next, he followed Wei Wei to her privateboratory and began to try the other methods that Wei Wei mentioned.
The first method to try was to smear blood on his bones to see if it could be absorbed.
There was a lot of domain creature blood in Wei Wei¡¯s cold storage cab. She took it and smeared it on Feng Qi¡¯s bones.
However, the miracle didn¡¯t happen.
The blood that was smeared on his bones was not absorbed. There was not even a single change.
Facing failure, Wei Wei was not discouraged. She chose the injection method next.
The result of this attempt was still unsurprising. His body seemed to have lost the ability to absorb blood and Qi.
At this moment, even Wei Wei was helpless.
The ability to absorb blood and Qi belonged to his other self with the special physique. While he borrowed the origin power, he did not borrow this ability trait.
What was worse was that he did not have any digestive organs. He couldn¡¯t rely on eating to replenish his blood and Qi.
Just as Feng Qi thought that this sacrifice timeline was going down the drain, an idea shed through his mind.
He suddenly thought of the owner of the fog.
He was not the only one who could absorb blood and Qi. The owner of the fog had also mastered a simr ability. It was just that the owner of the fog¡¯s efficiency in absorbing blood and Qi was far lower than his.
In the previous viin timeline where he grew up with the owner of the fog, the owner of the fog had taught him a way to absorb blood and Qi after its right arm was broken.
At that time, to train its ability to control blood, it specifically ced a wooden bucket filled with blood in the training ground of the manor of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team and practiced every morning.
At the thought of this, he immediately looked at Wei Wei and directed his mental fluctuation at her.
¡°Sister Wei, I need some spiritual stones to outline the trajectory of the spell.¡±
Hearing this, Wei Wei looked puzzled, but she didn¡¯t ask further. She immediately turned around and walked towards the cubicle in the privateboratory.
A momentter, Wei Wei returned with a box of spiritual stones.
He reached out to take the metal box from Wei Wei and ced it on the workbench. Then, he took out the spiritual stones inside one by one.
With his special physique, his body was unable to absorb Spiritual Qi, so he could not outline the trajectory of the spell.
However, this problem was easy to resolve. He just needed the help of spiritual stones.
Then, he told Wei Wei what he was thinking.
After understanding what he wanted to do, Wei Wei nodded and took out a small blue crystal needle from the toolbox at the side.
This small needle was made of extremely precious high-quality spirit ores.
Other than sharpness and other traits, it also had the effect of guiding the cirction of Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi spewing out of the shattered spiritual stones was quickly absorbed aftering into contact with the crystal needle. Soon, the blue crystal needle flickered with a blue light.
It was like a needle used for mending clothes; the end needed to be threaded.
This crystal needle was the same. The difference was that the end gathered Spiritual Qi.
Usually, after the rune modification surgery, Wei Wei would use this special crystal needle to help the modified person stitch up the wound.
However, this time, the crystal needle became a ¡°magic wand¡± used to outline spells.
After taking the crystal needle from Wei Wei, he began to draw in front of him.
The crystal needle trailed its tail, flickering with a blue crystalline light and leaving a magical trajectory in the air.
Soon, a strange blue pattern appeared in the air.
This pattern was the ¡°blood and Qi control technique¡± that the owner of the fog had taught him.
After outlining the trajectory of the spell, Feng Qi used his consciousness to slowly activate the spell formation floating in front of him.
In the end, the trajectory diagram contracted and came into contact with his bones, branding them with a trajectory diagram.
The spell was outlined and formed with the trajectory of the crystal needle.
The blood of the domain creature in the container not far away was attracted by an invisible force. It slowly floated in the air and surged towards him.
When the blood came into contact with the bone that was branded with the trajectory of the spell, it slowly seeped in.
As more blood flew over, his bones quickly absorbed the energy in it.
As for the spell trajectory diagram, it constantly purified the blood to expel the impurities in it.
As the bones continued to absorb, a trace of blood appeared on the surface of the already shriveled heart that had turned gray, and it began to beat slowly.
His heart was beating faster at a visible speed, and it was gradually filling up.
Seeing this, Wei Wei immediately walked quickly to the cold storage cab and returned with some domain creature blood for experiments.
At this moment, Feng Qi closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his body.
The feeling of absorbing blood was very strange. It was like bathing in rain on drynd and rejuvenating one¡¯s vitality. One¡¯s body was nourished in all aspects.
Finally, his heart regained its momentum, and the beating sound became strong.
When the time was right, he chose to switch to his human form.
After a short wait, blood-colored fog began to appear on the surface of his body and spread continuously, slowly enveloping his entire body.
The flesh and nerves on the surface of his bones were like bean sprouts that had broken out of the soil. They danced and grew tenaciously. This process was very fast. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered in a thinyer of flesh.
Wei Wei, who was standing at the side, couldn¡¯t help but click her tongue in wonder when she saw this scene. Then, she took out her phone and took a video, recording the process of him changing his form.
Compared to the process ofpleting the transformation in a few seconds, he waited for a full minute before sessfully switching back to his human form.
He opened his eyes and looked down at his body.
Everything was the same as before. He had returned to his human body.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something and decisively turned around to run to the cubicle.
He realized that he was naked.
He felt a little awkward when he thought about how Wei Wei had seen everything.
After entering the cubicle, he immediately chose a loose uniform from the closet and wore it.
A momentter, he walked out of the cubicle.
Looking at the calm Wei Wei, he scratched his head awkwardly.
¡°There¡¯s nothing to be embarrassed about¡ªI¡¯ve seen it countless times in the previous timelines. Just treat me as a doctor who circumcised you and you¡¯ll feel better.¡±

After reforging his flesh and blood, thebat timeline could finally be activated.
Before leaving the Scarlet Research Institute, Feng Qi tested the use of innate abilities such as the Blood Source.
The test result was that he could use all the innate abilities that his other self had mastered. The only problem was that he could only use one at a time. There was no way to seamlessly switch innate abilities.
This would greatly reduce hisbat strength.
However, even so, it was several times stronger than embedding the Demon
Dragon Rune Crystal.
After attending thest Scarlet Research Institute Supreme Conference before leaving, Feng Qi returned to Star City Academy with his backpack.
He first went to Bai Fusheng¡¯s office and exined the situation over the past year. He also showed him two cultivation techniques.
Bai Fusheng was very satisfied with the cultivation techniques.
After speaking with Bai Fusheng, he returned to the dormitory.
He had not returned to the dormitory for more than a year. The room was already covered in dust. He spent some time cleaning the dormitory.
Thereafter, he went to the sofa and sat down. Then, he took out a special glove from his backpack.
This glove was very light and felt no different from his skin. It was specially designed for him by the Scarlet Research Institute.
There were three small, high-purity spiritual energy crystals in the glove that were used to draw spells.
Considering that he would not be able to absorb blood and Qi after his Blood Source form ended, the Scarlet Research Institute specially designed this glove for him to absorb blood and Qi at any time outside and use it to reforge his flesh.
The gloves were also nicknamed ¡°Resurrection Glove¡± by the higher-ups of the
Scarlet Research Institute.
Feng Qi put the glove on his right hand.
He tried to clench his fist. There was no difort. He could not even feel the existence of the glove. It was as if it had fused with his skin.
In the future, he would need to wear this special glove at all times.
After thebat timeline was officially activated, assassinations could appear at any time. When he encountered a powerful enemy, he had to activate his trump card, the Blood Source ability.
The glove was his guarantee to win every battle.
in addition, there were three boxes of high-purity spiritual stones that matched the Resurrection Glove and a box of Stimnt Syringes in the special backpack.
The Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s tracker had already been imnted at the back
of his neck.
It was used by the Brain Squad to track his location.
After checking the items in his backpack, Feng Qi zipped it up and took out his phone to call Lin Ran.
After waiting for a while, the call went through. Lin Ran¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡°Brother Qi, haven¡¯t you finished your research? When do you n toe back?¡±
Hearing Lin Ran¡¯sints, he smiled.
¡°I¡¯ve already returned to the dormitory. I¡¯ll call the seniors and ssmates out
for a gatheringter.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go organize it now. See you in an hour!
Hearing that he had returned, Lin Ran was very excited. He immediately promised and hung up.
8 p.m.
After dinner in the academy cafeteria, Feng Qi brought the students to the field
and sat down.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of everyone, he decided to confess the truth and officially start thebat timeline.
This was not the first time he had confessed to other students.
But this was the first time he confessed the truth to Mu Qing on the sacrifice timeline.
There would be many challenges in thebat timeline, so he felt that Mu
Qing needed to join.
He would only consider using force to solve all the problems on this sacrifice timeline. As for the future changes, they were no longer within his consideration.
At this thought, he turned to look at the monk and said.
¡°Monk, your real name is Hui Xu. You are the heir of the Prajna Domain Combat Team. You came to Star City Academy to investigate the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s traitor faction behind Le Ping¡¯an. You followed the clues and found that the miracle item was snatched away by the traitor faction¡ Am I right?¡±
With that, Feng Qi smiled.
Upon hearing this, the monk¡¯s expression turned serious for a moment. Then, he grinned and scratched his head.
¡°Brother Qi, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand a word that you said.¡±
¡°Brother Qi, are you saying that Monk came to Star City Academy for a secret operation?¡± Lin Ran, who was sitting beside him, immediately frowned. Although he didn¡¯t understand the words Spiritual Energy Race, traitor faction, and so on, Lin Ran understood the meaning behind Feng Qi¡¯s words. The way he looked at the monk changed slightly.
¡°Brother Qi, where did you get the news? They¡¯re nonsense.¡±
Faced with the monk¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi did not exin.
After sweeping his gaze across everyone present, he slowly said.
¡°Next, I¡¯ll tell you a secret about me. It might sound unbelievable, but please believe me.¡±
Looking at Feng Qi, everyone vaguely felt that what Feng Qi was about to say would be very shocking.
¡°Brother Qi, hurry up and say it. Stop beating about the bush¡± Xia Long said in a rough voice. Then, he nced at Lu Yue, who was sitting not far away. Under their expectant expressions, Feng Qi pondered for a moment and organized his thoughts.
¡°I can travel between the future and reality at will.¡±
After a short silence, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.
Mu Qing looked confused, Lin Ran fell into deep thought, and the monk¡¯s eyes flickered¡
¡°I know it¡¯s hard for you to understand this concept. After all, I firmly believed in science before I obtained this ability, but some things are difficult to exin with current scientific knowledge, including the changes in my body¡¡±
Under everyone¡¯splicated expressions, he began to tell them about his experience..

The starting point of everything was the ss before graduation.
From bing a living dead to discovering the Star City Shelter and knowing that he hade to the future 1,500 yearster, he knew that the human world had been destroyed.
Then, he explored the timelines one after another, wanting to find the reason for the world¡¯s destruction.
During this period, he learned that there was a spy beside him. In the end he found the source and killed Le Ping¡¯an, causing amotion in the Star City Academy at that time.
Among these sacrifice timelines, he had once joined the Science and Technology Research Institute as a spy. He had also joined the Dawnbat team to grow up with Mu Qing. He had also formed the Breaking Dawn to secretly resist the ck shadow faction and plotted the future with the owner of the fog¡ From firmly believing that humans would definitely win in the future to understanding the truth of the world¡¯s situation step by step.
He didn¡¯t describe the hardships and sadness along the way, but Lin Ran and the others¡¯ eyes turned red.
Looking at Feng Qi, who was still smiling and continuing to tell the story, they could not imagine how much pressure and pain he had endured after continuous failure.
The night was hazy, and the streetmps in the field were extinguished at midnight.
Feng Qi was still telling the students about his experience of transmigrating through the timeline.
The experiences of many timelines were interconnected. He used information as a puzzle to uncover the truth and reveal a cruel world to Lin Ran and the rest.
The story was very long. Even if Feng Qi omitted the parts that didn¡¯t need to be exined in detail, there were still many important details that he needed to convey to Lin Ran and the others.
This information was closely rted to the subsequent ns of thebat timeline.
Thebat timeline would also use this information as a foundation to carry out various ns.
Understanding this information could also let Lin Ran and the others understand their position in the nextbat timeline.
As the sky gradually brightened, Feng Qi¡¯s story came to the point where the owner of the fog died in battle outside Former Days City.
The story ended at this moment.
¡®Brother Qi, it seems that not all domain creatures are cold-blooded and heartless. At least, in my opinion, the owner of the fog is a fellow who values friendship. Unfortunately, our different stances caused us to be enemies¡ If possible, I think we can try to pull the owner of the fog into our human camp and face challenges together.¡±
After hearing his story, Lin Ran spoke with a solemn expression.
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this problem. Fog is indeed a potential ally. If it wholeheartedly allies with our human camp, it will be of great help to the future development of humanity¡ However, we don¡¯t have to consider doing it in thisbat timeline. Right now, we can¡¯t give the owner of the fog any guarantees, nor can we convince it.¡±
If we choose to ally with it without negotiating the terms, it might agree on the surface. But at the same time, it will plot against us in the dark. From my understanding of Fog, this is possible. It might even stab us in the back for benefits at a critical moment.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. If we can¡¯t get him to sincerely ally with us humans, there will be hidden dangers.¡± Lin Ran immediately nodded.
¡°So you believe what I¡¯m saying?¡±
¡°It¡¯s hard to believe, but after the logic of your experience matches your previous actions, I don¡¯t think I can doubt you.¡±
¡°For example, you asked me to study spiritual attack techniques and anti-parasitic cultivation techniques.¡±
¡°I believe you too. Fine, I¡¯ll admit that what you said was the truth.¡± The monk also raised his hand at this moment.
¡°D*mn you, Monk. I thought you came to Star City Academy to idle around I didn¡¯t expect you to be the heir of the Prajna Domain Combat Team.¡± Cai Guo, who was sitting beside him, couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
¡°I also believe you too. You once asked us if we would choose to give up on ourselves and ept fate or choose meaningless resistance if we knew that humans would face the end of their lives in the future.¡±
¡°At that time, I asked you what you would choose if it were you. Your response was, ¡®If the future oue is not what I want, then I¡¯ll work hard to turn the future into what I want it to be.¡±1
¡°Now, I understand why you asked those questions in ss ¡±
Looking at Lu Yue, who had a cold expression, Feng Qi smiled and nodded. Through the cooperation of many timelines, he knew that there was a warm side to Lu Yue¡¯s cold appearance.
¡°Ah Qi, so you don¡¯t want me to establish a Dawnbat team in this timeline and are prepared to keep me by your side, right?¡± Mu Qing asked at this moment.
¡°Yes, you are the core of thisbat timeline. We will face numerous challenges ahead. As long as we can hold our ground in Star City, the impact on us will be minimal. The true pressure arises in a confrontation. Only you possess thebat strength to stand alone.¡±
Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded adorably.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do it with you!¡±
A guarantee outweighed a thousand words.
Looking at Mu Qing¡¯s adorable expression, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
After Mu Qing said that she was willing to fight with him on thisbat timeline, Cai Guo, Yang Xiaoxin, the three Xia brothers, Yan Fu, Xu Hongyun, and the others also expressed their willingness to be hispanions and walk this extremely dangerous path together.
Feng Qi nced at the determined students and nodded solemnly.
From the beginning, he knew that these students would agree to be hispanions. After all, they had made this decision in many timelines.
However, every time he saw them choose to stand on his side without hesitation, fight for the future of humanity, and even pay the price of their lives, he would still be touched.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose from the west.
They had been sitting on the green field for the entire night.
¡°Brother Qi, what will the world be like 1,500 yearster?¡± Yang Xiaoxin asked curiously.
¡°The sun will never rise again. There¡¯s only a blood-colored crescent moon hanging in the sky. The entire world is dead silent. Domain creatures are everywhere. It has be a killing ground for the strong.¡±
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxin looked up at the sun that was rising as usual and could not help but sigh.
¡°I¡¯m d we can still see the sun now.¡±
¡°We struggle to let the descendants 1,500 yearster see the sunrise as usual, just like the martyrs who protected Star City back then, opening a path for the future generations.¡±
¡°Alright, go and have your breakfast. I¡¯ll tell you in detail about my ns for thisbat timeline when Ie back.¡±
As he spoke, Feng Qi stood up.
Seeing this, Lin Ran and the others stood up and followed Feng Qi towards the cafeteria.
In the next few days, Breaking Dawn was officially established.
The first step of Feng Qi¡¯sbat timeline n was to control Star City.
If an organization were to have enoughbat power, it needed a stable rear to ensure the normal operation of the organization and logistics.
Back then, Breaking Dawn was at a disadvantage because they did not have a stable stronghold.
During the confrontation with the Science and Technology Research Institute, they could only hide. They could not gather theirbat strength.
This time, he chose to use the entire Star City as the rear of Breaking Dawn.
At that time, the battle would officially begin, and the hidden human forces would have a clear goal to fight for.
However, if he were toplete this n, he had to eliminate all the domain factions in Star City.
Feng Qi s first target was the weak race alliance.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, the owner of the fog had once controlled the upper echelons of the weak race alliance and obtained a list of the strongholds in Star City.
The owner of the fog wouldn¡¯t hold back on this list.
At that time, Feng Qi had memorized all the strongholds on the list.
This information was useful at this moment.
Other than the weak race alliance, there was another target that had to be wiped out. It was the Night Shadow Race that controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
This force was not a threat to him at all.
The only problem was how to silently take them out.
Breaking Dawn had stabilized themselves in Star City. It was not suitable for them to expose themselves in advance.
Eliminating this faction quietly was the best choice at their current stage to avoid being exposed in advance and increasing the risk.
With Mu Qing¡¯s strength, she could wipe out the Night Shadow Race. The problem was how to deal with them without attracting the attention of the outside world.
Since there was no chance, Feng Qi decided to make one.
For this reason, he sent an application to the Tiger Soul Research Institute in the name of a specialized cultivation technique teacher at Star City Academy.
The content of the application was none other than to bring the students to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Three dayster, an invitation was sent to Feng Qi¡¯s email.
The sender of the email was Director Liu from the Tiger Soul Research Institute, who had wanted to recruit him in advance.
After reading the email, a smile appeared in Feng Qi¡¯s eyes.

Five dayster.
Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters.
3 p.m.
A bus with the Star City Academy¡¯s emblem gradually stopped at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
AS the door opened, Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and the other students got out of the vehicle.
It was not easy to apply for permission to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Every year, the major cultivation technique specialization sses would apply inrge numbers. However, there were very few sses that could get approval.
After all, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was not a museum. Its existence was to promote the development of human cultivation.
However, Feng Qi was confident that he could apply for the right to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
There were three main reasons.
Firstly, he led the cultivation ss to win the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s Concept Contest.
Secondly, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had the intention of recruiting him in advance. However, he had chosen to reject it back then, but not entirely.
He was also a recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, and his application would be valued.
Thirdly, Lin Ran¡¯s name was on the guest list.
Lin Ran was tempting to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, or rather, to the Night Shadow Race behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He suspected that the Night Shadow Race had taken a fancy to Lin Ran¡¯s talent in spells when he was epted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance. After all, the core goal of the Night Shadow Race was to use the resources and talents of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to create a super spell for the development of their race.
This reason waspletely valid.
After getting out of the car one after another, Feng Qi looked at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
At this moment, there was already a staff member waiting at the entrance. After seeing Feng Qi, he took two steps forward to confirm his identity. He shone the device in his hand at Feng Qi¡¯s face, and details immediately appeared on the screen.
After confirming his identity, the staff member waved behind him. Immediately, the retractable metal door slid to the side. The security guards standing in front of the door also walked to the sides to make way.
¡°Teacher Feng, there are many restricted areas in the Tiger Soul Research Institute, so filming is not allowed. I hope you can cooperate with us.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand the rules.¡±
Feng Qi nodded. Then, he turned to look at Lin Ran and the others.
¡°Deposit all your electronics in the security room first. Collect them when we leave.¡±
After saying that, he walked past the metal door first and came to the security screening door. He took out his mobile phone and ced it in the storage box at the side.
After passing through the security gate, the rm did not sound.
At this moment, he turned to look at Lin Ran and the others.
Other than his cell phone, there was a small tracker embedded in the back of his neck.
However, the tracker developed by the Scarlet Research Institute was not made of ordinary materials. When they were researching and designing it, they had long thought of special situations.
After undergoing numerous upgrades over 1,500 years, this tracker could even deceive the detection devices at the Scarlet Research Institute. It had seamlessly integrated with its host¡¯s body.
The Scarlet Research Institute had even entertained the possibility of the tracker detaching after he activated the Blood Source. This time, they affixed the tracker to the back of his neck bone, going beyond mere embedding into the flesh.
At this moment, Lin Ran and the others passed through the security check one after another and stored the electronic items they carried in their storage boxes.
The staff member in charge of showing them around drove a tour bus over.
Feng Qi got onto the bus first and sat beside the staff member. Lin Ran and the others also got into the vehicle.
During the headcount, Feng Qi winked at Mu Qing, who was sitting in the fourth row in the back seat.
Mu Qing nodded in understanding.
After counting the number of people, the tour bus slowly drove towards the buildingplex in the distance.
Along the way, the staff member enthusiastically introduced the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s history.
He talked about many things that were not recorded in the textbooks.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was founded in the early days of the cmity. During that period, the rudimentary concept of human cultivation had not yet emerged. Their understanding was limited to the existence of a umque substance in the world, referred to by human schrs as Spiritual Qi. During that period, humans desperately wanted to know how Spiritual Qi made domain creatures stronger.
Could humans replicate this method of rapid growth and strength?
Thus, the concept of cultivation was born.
At that time, arge number of Spiritual Qi researchboratories appeared in various cities. They were the prototype of the early cultivation technique research institutes.
Due to the absence of a well-established frontline supply area system in the early stages, the resources avable to humans from the domain were extremely limited. Given these challenging conditions, each Spiritual Qi research institute had only meager resources at its disposal.
At that time, to speed up the research of Spiritual Qi, the higher-ups of Star City had pushed for the reorganization of the Spiritual Qi research institutes and gathered the resources to make use of them.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was born under those circumstances.
Reality proved that the decision of Star City¡¯s higher-ups at that time was a wise one. Compared to distributing resources, it was obvious that gathering resources and talents could better develop cultivation.
But in that era, everything was difficult.
Human schrs had yet to establish aplete database of domain resources.
The early schrs of the Tiger Soul Research Institute often suffered from the radiation of special spiritual energy substances. Their bodily functions were damaged, and they generally did not live past 40 years old.
It was akin to Shennong tasting a hundred herbs. The contents of the initial database could be described as having been filled out with his life experiences.
At that time, there were many talents in the Tiger Soul Research Institute who contributed greatly to the perfection of the cultivation concept.
At its peak, the Tiger Soul Research Institute even surpassed the Milky Way Research Institute and became the most popr cultivation technique research institute at that time..

At this time, the tour bus came to a statue of an airne. The white stone tablet in front of the statue was engraved with people¡¯s names.
Lin Ran, who was sitting behind Feng Qi, asked curiously.
¡°What¡¯s the origin of this statue?¡±
In response to the question, the staff member drove the tour bus closer to the ne statue. Then, he pointed at the white stone tablet in front of the statue and introduced it.
¡°The names on are all pilots from the early days of the cmity.¡±
¡°Pilots?¡±
Hearing this, Lin Ran was even more curious. He didn¡¯t understand why the pilot¡¯s memorial was left in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
¡°That¡¯s correct. They have made indelible contributions to the development of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. It can be asserted that without their willingness to risk their lives transporting resources from the domain field, the Tiger Soul Research Institute wouldn¡¯t have achieved its current status.¡± Then, the staff member described another dilemma faced by the Tiger Soul Research Institute during the early stages of the cmity.
Theck of resources.
The reorganization of the Spiritual Qi researchboratories in Star City was crucial to advancing the development of cultivation.
However, they faced a huge challenge.
At that time, transporting the resources of the domain field was filled with risks.
During that period,cking the current air danger zone identification mark, nes would traverse various domain fields along their route. Numerous pilots, navigating through domain fields with diverse regtions for resource transport, paid the ultimate price with their lives.
The current safe flight routes were also forged by these pilots with their lives.
Feng Qi understood the history after taking control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute with the owner of the fog.
Hearing this, he still felt deep veneration in his heart.
Every inch ofnd on the Tiger Soul Research Institute was engraved with glory. It had once been a guiding light on the path of human exploration and hope. Now, what he had to do was wash away the filth on it and restore its glory.
However, the time was not yet ripe. He still had to wait.
As long as he could enter the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s main base, he would have a chance to solve this problem.
The tour bus continued to move forward. Every time they arrived at a new area, the staff member would exin the history of the buildings.
The story behind them was moving.
Listening to the staff member¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi imagined the historical
scene.
A sense of national and historical identity welled up in his heart. It was as if he could envision numerous figures bustling in ck-and-white scenes, fervently devising ns for the future and envisioning a brilliant golden age for humanity.
The predecessors nted it, and theter generations took advantage of it. It was undeniable that human nature was inherently selfish, but it was the selflessness of a small number of people that allowed human civilization to continue.
The dedication was engraved in the hearts of generations of people. It was like an inheritance that spread infinitely.
The responsibility of the times had now fallen on his shoulders.
Its my duty now!
Feng Qi passed by the statues as if receiving a ry baton. In his heart, he made a solemn promise.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Tiger Soul Research Institute was brightly lit at night.
At this moment, the tour bus drove to the most conspicuous headquarters building, located in the center of the base. Under the light, it was like a golden sword piercing into the clouds.
The tour bus stopped in front of the headquarters building, and Feng Qi and the others alighted one after another.
¡°The tour will span three days. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll guide you to explore the other areas. But for now, let¡¯s head to dinner.¡±
As he spoke, the staff member smiled at Feng Qi.
¡°Has Teacher Feng been to the Tiger Soul Research Institute base before?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s my first time visiting.¡± He immediately shook his head. He already knew the situation at the Tiger Soul Research Institute very well. In the previous sacrifice timeline, when the owner of the fog was in seclusion, he was fully in charge of all the matters of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. During this period, he understood the department structure in detail.
Of course, he could not admit this.
They followed the staff member into the base and went straight to the cafeteria.
During the meal, the staff member introduced the food standards in detail, as well as the source of the ingredients.
After dinner, they followed the staff member to visit the few departments that were open to the public in the base and learned a lot about cultivation technique research.
It was 10 p.m.
The staff member brought them to the amodation area and arranged a double room for them.
Before leaving, the staff member specially instructed them not to walk around the base at night. Otherwise, they would bear a series of responsibilities.
In this regard, Feng Qi gave an affirmative guarantee.
Two people were assigned to one room; Feng Qi and Lin Ran were staying together in one.
After entering the room, Lin Ran began to search the room warily.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately gestured for him to keep quiet and said softly.
¡°I¡¯m searching for a listening device in the room.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, there are no listening devices here. I¡¯ve been here for several years. I know theyout inside very well.¡± Feng Qi immediately waved his hand. He could understand Lin Ran¡¯s vignce, but the Night Shadow Race behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute wouldn¡¯t deliberately guard against them. From the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s point of view, they were just ordinary visitors.
Be it background information or other aspects, there were no ws to speak of. Hearing his exnation, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Act ording to my n. Nothing will go wrong.
Feng Qi had already drawn a map of the Tiger Soul Research Institute for Lin Ran and the others to memorize.
The first step of the n was to seize the authority of the control panel in the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
As long as he obtained authority, it was impossible to spread what happened in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
As for thebat power of the Night Shadow Race, it was not worth mentioning, in his opinion..

With Mu Qing around, the Night Shadow Race could not withstand a single blow.
It was 11 p.m.
There was a knock on the door. Feng Qi, who was reading a book, gave Lin Ran a look. Lin Ran immediately got out of bed and went to the door to open it.
A middle-aged man appeared at the door. He wore rimless sses, had short hair, and was wearing a white shirt. His skin was a healthy tan. His eyes were deep and spirited, and his nose was high.
Feng Qi was no stranger to this person.
It was Director Liu, who had specially gone to Star City Academy to recruit him in advance.
This time, the invitation email from the Tiger Soul Research Institute was sent in Director Liu¡¯s name.
Seeing an acquaintance, Feng Qi immediately stood up and greeted him.
¡°Director Liu.¡±
Through the information from the previous timeline, he was certain that Director Liu had been controlled by the Night Shadow Race.
To be more precise, this guy had joined the Night Shadow Race. He was not purely bewitched.
He hated human traitors.
However, he would not show this on his face.
He warmly invited Director Liu into the room and sat down. He smiled and said.
¡°Director Liu, I have to thank you for your support foring to the Tiger Soul Research Institute this time.¡±
After exchanging pleasantries, Director Liu revealed his purpose foring.
¡°Feng Qi, your talent is evident to everyone. Remaining in Star City Academy would only overshadow your abilities. On behalf of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, I extend another invitation to you. I hope you will consider joining the Tiger Soul Research Institute and contribute your talents.¡±
With that, Director Liu¡¯s tone changed.
¡°Feng Qi, have youe into contact with any research on spells?¡±
Hearing this, he immediately understood Director Liu¡¯s intentions.
It was not true that he valued his talent in cultivation technique research. It was true that he felt that his talent could be better used in spell research.
The constitution of the Night Shadow Race was ipatible with human cultivation techniques.
However, spells were rted to the rules of heaven and earth and the elements of Spiritual Qi. Any spell could be used by all races, but there were differences in strength.
The goal of the Night Shadow Race, which controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute, was to create a super spell for their race through the efforts of top human schrs.
After understanding the reason, he couldn¡¯t help but nce at Lin Ran.
As a spell research genius, he was recruited by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance because of this reason.
But there was no doubt about one thing¡ªLin Ran¡¯s talent.
He was undoubtedly the most talented spell genius of this era, and there were very few people who left a deep mark in history.
¡°Director Liu, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t have any intention of joining the Tiger Soul Research Institute for the time being. As for spell research, I will not get involved.¡±
Director Liu appeared somewhat regretful.
However, he did not give up. He then smiled and said.
¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to refuse. Come to the office with meter¡ªI have something to show you. It might change your mind.¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Some historical information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯m interested in the history of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡± He immediately nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a while, he left the room with Director Liu and walked towards the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Director Liu did not want to bring him to read historical information. Feng Qi understood this.
The information from the previous timeline allowed him to read Director Liu¡¯s thoughts.
At this moment, the Night Shadow Race did not want to give up on him. They felt that he might have outstanding talent in spell research and could add to the Night Shadow Race¡¯s super spell structure.
Now that he had specially delivered himself to their door, in the eyes of the Night Shadow Race, he was a sheep entering the tiger¡¯s den.
It was not easy to make a move in the Star City Academy, but the Tiger Soul Research Institute was their home ground.
The only innate ability of the Night Shadow Race was the ¡°Mind Control¡± ability.
It was self-evident what they would face next.
However, Feng Qi was fearless. In thisbat timeline, Purple Soul patterns were engraved on his bones, making it a fool¡¯s dream to attempt to control him through mental bewitchment.
Most importantly, he was about to enter the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and see the Night Shadow Race.
This force was not a threat to him at all.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of exposing himself in advance and increasing the risk, Mu Qing alone would be enough to destroy the entire Night Shadow Race.
Before leaving, he gave Lin Ran a look.
He knew Lin Ran would understand what he meant.
Following Director Liu¡¯s familiar route, they arrived at the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The first thing he saw was the control panel in the center.
This control panel had the highest authority in the Tiger Soul Research Institute. It could control the operation or shutdown of all the facilities. It could also cut off the power of the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute.
With just a nce, he stopped paying attention.
After following Director Liu for a while, they arrived at Room A-1 in the core area.
Director Liu pushed open the door and walked in first.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed.
The room was like aboratory with many instruments inside. It did not look like an office at all.
The strange thing was that the scientific research equipment here was covered in yellow paper that looked like talismans. There was an indescribable strange feeling.
Director Liu walked past the piles of scientific research equipment and suddenly turned to look at him with a smile.
He slowly took out a cell phone from his pocket and pressed it.
Immediately, the sound of gears grinding could be heard from the door. The door had been locked.
¡°Feng Qi, we¡¯re very sincere to you. Initially, we didn¡¯t want to control you and were prepared to spend a lot of resources to nurture you..¡±

¡°Control me? What do you mean?¡± He pretended to be surprised.
¡°To tell you the truth, we believe that you, who has a rare talent in the field of cultivation technique research, may also have some potential in the field of spell research. This is also why we don¡¯t want to control you.¡±
¡°After all, you will more or less suffer some damage here and it will affect subsequent research.¡± Director Liu smiled and pointed at his temple.
Feng Qi was not surprised to hear this.
In the previous timeline, he always had a question. Why didn¡¯t the Tiger Soul Research Institute choose to control Lin Ran with their minds? Instead, they chose to hide it and use Lin Ran.
He had asked Night-2 this question before.
Night-2 exined that there was a certain risk in the process of mind control. It was possible that during the process, it would cause mental damage that was difficult to heal. It might even cause the controlled person to lose their mind.
Lin Ran¡¯s talent couldn¡¯t be replicated. The Night Shadow Race didn¡¯t want to take a risk on Lin Ran. The price of doing so was too high.
However, facing his repeated rejections, the Night Shadow Race had no more patience.
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to exin yourself to Star City Academy? If you hurt me here, the surveince cameras in the Tiger Soul Research Institute can confirm that I came here with you.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already turned off the surveince cameras when I came over. Furthermore, I need to correct a mistake in your words. It¡¯s not that I want to hurt you, but the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute wants to hurt you.¡±
¡°As for how to answer to the Star City Academy, when you¡¯re controlled, you¡¯ll give the Star City Academy an exnation yourself. I don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡±
Director Liu stepped aside and bowed respectfully.
Several figures walked out from behind the instruments.
Feng Qi was very familiar with the person in the lead.
It had light blue skin and the body of a human. Its purple eyes looked very demonic. If one looked carefully, they would be able to capture one¡¯s soul.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t know its real name, but ever since the Tiger Soul Research Institute was controlled by the owner of the fog, its name had changed to ¡°Night-2¡±.
Looking at Night-2 who was slowly smiling, heughed inwardly.
It was fate that they met again!
Immediately after, Night-2 took out an item that looked like a remote control and pressed it. Instantly, several steel cables shot out from the ceiling and wrapped around Feng Qi¡¯s limbs.
At this moment, the steel cable withdrew and hung him in the air slowly.
At the same time, the instruments covered in talismans began to operate. Rich Spiritual Qi quickly spread throughout the room.
Arge array trajectory diagram appeared on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi clicked his tongue in wonder. He did not expect the Night Shadow Race to have already developed a set of methods to control humans.
It could be said that the instruments and tools in this room were specially made to strengthen mental control.
Night-2 couldn¡¯t suppress the excitement when it saw that Feng Qi was restrained.
It was obvious that it treated him as amb waiting to be ughtered.
At this moment, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Excuse me, what time is it?¡±
¡°Why are you asking this?¡± Night-2 asked in a low voice. As it spoke, purple light flickered in its eyes.
¡°Treat it as granting myst wish before being controlled.¡±
¡°It¡¯s 1:10 a.m.,¡± Night-2 replied, ncing at the controller in his hand. It didn¡¯t believe he had any chance of resisting.
As soon as Night-2 finished speaking, a loud sound suddenly came from outside, and the ground trembled.
¡°Game over!¡±
Realizing that the time was ripe, a sinister smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
Blood Source, activate!
His heartbeat suddenly sped up at this moment.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The beating of his heart became faster and faster, like the beating of a war drum.
Under the incredulous expressions of Night-2 and the other Night Shadow nsmen, his body was covered in a blood mist and he grew taller at a visible speed.
The blood mist condensed into flesh and blood.
Purple and blood-colored patterns danced on the surface of his body, and dark green mes erupted from the inside out. The escting, formidable pressure left the members of the Night Shadow Race stunned on the spot.
Boom! Boom!
The steel ropes wrapped around his limbs broke one after another, and Feng Qi fell to the ground.
Standing on the massive array flickering with purple light, he resembled a demon emerging from hell. His entire being exuded an aura of malevolence and fear.
He lifted his head, surveying the Night Shadow Race members. Gradually, he clenched his fists, the sound of cracking echoing.
Looking at the Night Shadow Race member who was at a loss, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
¡°It¡¯s my turn now!¡±
Chapter 590 - 590: Whirlwind Wreckage (1)
Chapter 590: Whirlwind Wreckage (1)

Under the incredulous gazes of Night-2 and the other Night Shadow nsmen, Feng Qipleted the evolution of his Blood Source form.
Although the height of almost 10 feet was not as powerful as the Blood Source transformation in the main timeline, it was also filled with oppression.
The purple and blood-colored patterns that covered his entire body distorted and changed with his breathing. Under the dark green mes, he looked like a ferocious and angry dragon.
He stood there with a dignified aura.
Feng Qi¡¯s change was clearly beyond the Night Shadow nsmen¡¯s expectations.
Night-2 couldn¡¯t hide the fear in its eyes.
Its calmness was gone.
It could feel the pressure from Feng Qi¡¯s bloodline and was certain that the mutated Feng Qi was a life form far stronger than it.
It subconsciously swallowed and realized that the situation had already exceeded its control. Its body began to tremble.
The Night Shadow nsmen could not understand what was happening now.
When they received Feng Qi¡¯s email requesting to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute, they thought that he was walking into a tiger¡¯s den.
They were willing to give Feng Qi another opportunity. If he refused to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute this time, their only option would be to resort to the extreme measure of controlling his mind.
The Night Shadow Race had even thought of a n after controlling Feng Qi.
He needed to depart from the Star City Academy and submit an application to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute. His ultimate goal was to be involved in the Night Shadow Race¡¯s ¡°super spell project,¡± dedicating the rest of his life to refining and perfecting this spell.
While it might seem like a partial waste of Feng Qi¡¯s talent, considering his reluctance to join the Tiger Soul Research Institute, epting the role of bing a tool was viewed as a favorable option.
In their opinion, there was no way this n could go wrong.
After all, they had checked all the information on Feng Qi in detail. In the end, he was just a 17-year-old young man.
However, looking at the blood-colored giant standing in front of them, they realized that the situation hadpletely lost control.
¡°Feng Qi, whether or not reconciliation is possible, we¡¯re prepared to make a significant concession. This is the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and if our conflict isn¡¯t managed discreetly, it could be revealed. I assume you wouldn¡¯t want your concealed identity exposed, correct?¡±
Night-2 regarded him as another domain race that had infiltrated human society.
Under the death threat, Night-2 suppressed its fear and tried to negotiate with him.
Hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
He would not ept any negotiations on thisbat timeline, let alone allow the cancerous Night Shadow Race to continue corroding the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He didn¡¯t answer. He took a step forward and grabbed Night-2¡¯s neck before mming it to the ground.
His flesh and blood disintegrated in the face of his violent power as blood sttered.
Seeing this, the other Night Shadow nsmen instantly ran to the door.
The Night Shadow nsmen¡¯s trait was their mental control ability. Their bodies were weak, and even their running speed was like slow motion in his eyes.
His figure left an afterimage as he swayed. He stopped the Night Shadow nsmen who tried to escape from the room and pped them.
The two Night Shadow nsmen instantly flew to the side.
Boom!
With a resounding crash, their bodies mmed into the wall and they died on the spot.
He did not let the remaining two Night Shadow nsmen off either.
Under their horrified gazes, the blood-colored fist erged in their eyes.
Boom!
With a punch, a surging fist intent burst out from his body. The blood-colored fist shadow instantly passed through their bodies and left a huge fist mark on the wall behind them.
The two Night Shadow nsmen stood rooted to the ground in a daze for a few seconds before their bodies were torn to pieces by the violent fist intent that surged into their bodies.
After cleaning up the Night Shadow nsmen in the room, Feng Qi smiled sinisterly.
¡°Director Liu!¡±
It was as if a hunter was calling for his life.
Director Liu, who was hiding behind the instrument, broke out in a cold sweat. His lips were pale.
In the face of death, his body trembled uncontrobly.
Fear kept spreading in his heart. He finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He knelt on the ground and crawled towards Feng Qi.
¡°I¡¯m willing to submit to you and work for you. I know all the secrets of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Only with me can you better control the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
As he spoke, Director Liu no longer had the confidence to control the situation.
¡°I¡¯ve seen many outstanding qualities from domain creatures. Inparison, a spineless human traitor like you is even more detestable!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qi did not hesitate and punched the terrified Director Liu.
Blood spurted.
Boom!
Director Liu, who had lost his head, fell to the ground.
Walking to the locked door, Feng Qi suddenly swung his fist.
The fist intent mes in his body had been greatly strengthened after the Blood Source form was activated. Green mes wrapped around his right fist, turning into a dark green fist shadow that crushed into the metal door.
The metal door caved in and distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye. With a loud bang, the entire door was sent flying.
When he walked out of the control room, he realized that it was a mess outside.
He cast a nce at the central control panel of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, realizing that Yang Xiaoxin was seated there, engrossed in her tasks. Under her meticulous control, the metal door in the core area was gradually descending and closing.
As part of his strategy, the initial step in his assault on the core area involved seizing the central control panel. His objective was to lock down the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s core area, ensuring that no information could leak out..

The next step was to cut off the Inte for the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s core area. All the surveince cameras had to stop operating.
At this moment, a loud sound came from the right. Mu Qing grabbed the necks of two Night Shadow warriors andnded beside him. Under her violent power, the two Night Shadow nsmen were pressed into the floor made of special materials.
At this moment. Mu Qing looked up at him.
A terrifying pressure instantly came, making Feng Qi¡¯s heart palpitate. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but an ancient ferocious beast with monstrous demonic mes.
The pair of scarlet eyes stared at him as if they were looking at a cold corpse.
Just looking at each other made him hallucinate for a moment.
He witnessed a multitude of corpses stacked into a mountain that extended for miles. At the summit of this bone mountain in the center, a horrifying creature bathed in a scarlet light perpetually unleashed death and cmity upon the world, looming over all living beings.
¡°Wait, it¡¯s me!¡± He said decisively.
¡°Oh? I¡¯m sorry!¡± The cold-eyed Mu Qing¡¯s expression instantly turned adorable.
Then, she said apologetically.
¡°I didn¡¯t intend to attackyou. I can feel a familiar aura from you, but I haven¡¯t adjusted my emotions yet. You know it¡¯s difficult for me to control my emotions now.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. Senior, please continue.¡± Feng Qi expressed his understanding.
At this stage, Mu Qing was not the future demon king of the Dawn army. Her control over her strength was iparable to her future self. It was normal for her to lose control.
He clearly remembered that when he first met Mu Qing, he was almost crippled by her unintentional punch by theke in front of the Star City Academy dormitory building.
Even after graduation, when she fought with the owner of the fog, Mu Qing lost control.
Mu Qing still had a long way to go before she could truly control her strength.
She was still far from reaching her peak.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Qing nodded obediently. Then, she turned into a scarlet light and rushed into a room.
Right on the heels of that, the ground trembled slightly, and violent smashing sounds could be heard.
Feng Qi suddenly thought of Suction Cup as he looked at the Night Shadow Race member who had half of his body embedded in the ground and died miserably.
Suction Cup¡¯s fighting style could be said to havepletely inherited Mu Qing¡¯s style.
The truthy in the fist. A single punch had the power to shatter all techniques. It was theplete opposite of the owner of the fog¡¯s fancy fighting style.
At this moment, he turned to look at the other side.
Lu Yue stood on the spot with Sword Qi crisscrossed around him. Every time he pointed somewhere, the Sword Qi would shoot towards the target, reaping the lives of the fleeing Night Shadow nsmen.
The three brothers of the Xia family engaged in even fiercerbat. Each of them wielded a metal door, serving both as a shield and a weapon. Several members of the Night Shadow Race had already fallen beside them.
On the other side, Yan Yue and Cai Guo, who were standing together, seemed to face a problem.
Their eyes gradually turned white and they seemed to be in a daze. Several Night Shadow nsmen standing not far away extended their hands toward them. Numerous purple threads could be seen connecting to their bodies.
It was obvious that the Night Shadow Race warriors were controlling them mentally.
Seeing this, Feng Qi exerted strength to leave a deep footprint under his feet and shot out like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey.
Before he approached them, he raised his fist.
Dark green mes surrounded his right arm and condensed on the surface of his fist. His heart suddenly beat faster, and the blood mist that spewed out enveloped the fist.
The mes of the fist intent danced in his chest, and his indomitable aura rose steadily.
He leaned forward and suddenly swung his right fist.
The fist shadow formed by the blood-colored and dark green mes was like a furious dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its ws as it pounced forward.
It attacked under the terrified gaze of the Night Shadow warriors.
When the fist shadow swept past, their bodies had turned into bones, and their flesh and blood were devoured by the fist shadow.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another. The few Night Shadow warriors who were still using mental control techniques werepletely turned to ashes and scattered on the ground.
At this moment, Yan Yue and Cai Guo¡¯s eyes gradually regained rity. Compared to Yan Yue, who was from the frontlinebat team, this was Cai Guo¡¯s first time experiencing a real battle. When she saw the scene in front of her, she could not help but cover her mouth and her face turned pale. Nevertheless, she disyed considerable strength and refrained from vomiting. Instead, she took a few deep breaths to regain control of her emotions.
¡°Yan Yue, take Cai Guo to the control panel to rest and leave the rest to us. Your responsibility is to protect her. She¡¯s the sole medic in Breaking Dawn.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Yan Yue, who realized that the blood-colored giant standing in front of him was Feng Qi, immediately nodded. Then, she brought Cai Guo closer to the control panel where Yang Xiaoxin was.
After confirming that Yan Yue and Cai Guo were safe, he looked at the room not far away.
In the room, a purple-skinned Night Shadow warrior was continuously extracting the power contributed by the other Night Shadow warriors.
Its body gradually bulged under the support of the power that kept pouring into its body.
Feng Qi was no stranger to him.
In the previous timeline, the owner of the fog had secretly instigated and nned the internal strife of the Night Shadow Race. In the end, it sessfully destroyed the Night Shadow Race, but it was also severely injured in the battle. When the owner of the fog called him to tell him that it was safe, it was already exhausted.
The owner of the fogter told him about the process of the civil war. The most difficult to deal with was the current leader of the Night Shadow Race.
As the current patriarch of the primary faction among the three major factions of the Night Shadow Race, it had been utilizing the resources of the Tiger Soul Research Institute for many years to enhance its strength. Its power was
formidable..

The spell that it used to absorb the power of its nsmen was also developed through the efforts of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s spell department. It had an understanding of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s super spell concept.
The structure of this spell was tobine the power of the nsmen to form a Dharma outside their bodies to obtain powerful strength.
The more nsmen there were, the stronger they would be.
At this moment, light blue energy manifested on the surface of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader¡¯s body, wrapping around and creating an energy form outside his physical form.
This blue energy body had eight arms on its back. It was ferocious and around 10 feet tall.
Seeming to have noticed Feng Qi¡¯s gaze, the leader of the Night Shadow Race turned to look at him.
Their gazes met for a moment before the leader took a deep breath. Immediately, the Night Shadow nsmen standing beside it copsed with exhausted expressions.
Feng Qi gradually tightened his fists, the sound of joints cracking apanying the motion.
A sinister smile appeared on his face. Then, he raised his hand and waved at the leader provocatively.
Boom!
The leader, who was enveloped by the blue eight-armed energy body, suddenly broke through the door frame. Fragments flew everywhere as it pounced at him.
Feng Qi¡¯s swung out his clenched fist at this moment.
The dark green mes turned into a fist shadow with the blood mist and smashed towards the leader.
Bang!
His fist smashed into the blue energy body¡¯s face, and a terrifying power instantly erupted.
The leader, who was enveloped by the blue energy body, was sent flying and mmed into the wall. Blue light spots sttered.
The power of this punch had exceeded the leader¡¯s expectations.
However, it quickly pulled itself out of the wall and pounced at him again. Observing that the leader persistently opted for closebat, Feng Qi grinned. At this moment, he clenched his right fist. The blood mist on the surface of his body turned into a vortex that circled his body. Every beat of his heart spread power throughout his body, and his muscles became solid.
¡°Ha!¡± The scorching mist followed his breath and a terrifying power instantly condensed.
When he swung his right fist again, it was like a cannon that smashed towards the leader, attempting to kill it in one strike.
Just as the fist was about to hit the leader, it dodged to the side and punched his right shoulder.
The formidable power instantly caused a dent in the blue energy body. Apanied by the dispersal of blue light particles, the sound of bones breaking resonated.
In a life-and-death struggle, there was no room for hesitation. The Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader gritted its teeth and endured the pain. The eight right arms of the blue energy body behind it abruptly extended, seizing Feng Qi¡¯s arms. Simultaneously, the other six blue arms transformed into phantoms, relentlessly descending like a storm.
Under the onught, Feng Qi could feel a mental power seeping into his body.
This mental power was the bewitching ability, a skill at which the Night Shadow Race excelled.
He immediately understood the leader¡¯s thoughts.
It wanted to continuously inject mental bewitching power into his body and umte power until it controlled him.
Unfortunately, the purple soul patterns branded on the surface of his body had a magic-breaking effect.
The mental bewitching power that had seeped into his body was dispersed before it could take root. It could not gather it at all.
Feeling the pain in his body, Feng Qi decided to end the battle quickly.
The leader of the Night Shadow Race was undeniably formidable. If the super spell continued to develop over the next few years, with Lin Ran¡¯s involvement, its strength could experience significant enhancement. This might pose a considerable threat to the future owner of the fog.
However, it was not enough now. It could even be said to be far inferior.
¡°Are you satisfied already? It¡¯s my turn now!¡±
Feng Qi slowly raised his head and smiled sinisterly as the six energy arms smashed down on it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a roar, and the power in his body suddenly erupted.
His heart pounded like an engine on the elerator, emitting a rumbling sound. With determination, he forcefully struck his head into the head of the blue energy body. Following that, he raised his knee and mmed it into its abdomen.
The blue energy body was instantly sent flying by this ferocious knee strike.
Feng Qi took the opportunity to break free.
Roar!
With a roar, his right foot mmed into the ground.
Amid the trembling ground, his Blood Source form entered a high-load state.
His blood and Qi surged continuously, merging with his fist intent.
At this moment, he disyed the stance of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
His right arm led the assault, smashing into the ascending blue phantom. A blood-colored fist shadow soared into the sky,nding heavily on the chest of the blue phantom. He swiftly followed up with another punch.
As he waved his arms, they turned into phantoms. Dark green mes wrapped around his left arm, and surging blood and Qi wrapped around his right arm. Two-colored fist shadows kept soaring into the sky.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Wrapped in blue energy, the leader of the Night Shadow Race mmed into the ceiling.
As the fist shadows kepting, it was difficult for it to even break free.
Blue spots of light flew everywhere. The blue energy body formed by spells couldn¡¯t withstand the pressure and turned into raindrops of Spiritual Qi that scattered in all directions.
Every punchnded heavily on the fragile body of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader.
Disbelief appeared in its eyes as if it could not believe that its life would end in this way.
Before it died, its eyes were fixed on the dense fist shadows.
Boom!
As Feng Qi withdrew his fist, a substantial amount of gravel above his head crumbled down. The shattered body, already beaten into minced meat, descended to the ground and was buried beneath the rubble.
¡°Closebat is not suitable for you! Don¡¯t do it again in your next life!¡±
Feng Qi looked at the rubble and said coldly. Then, he turned to look at the other rooms.
What he had to do now was to kill all the Night Shadow Race members in the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to ensure that none of them could escape.
The Blood Source form was on the verge of copse. However, he pounced out again.
As his figure moved, the Night Shadow Race warriors perished in his hands one after another.
This marked the first instance in the sacrifice timeline that which Feng Qi experienced the thrill of closebat. His entire body pulsated with an exhrating excitement.
Finally, he was no longer aggrieved. He could vent his anger with all his might.
As he swung his fist, another Night Shadow Race warrior turned into a bloody mist in front of him.
As he turned around, he saw Mu Qing¡¯s figure sh past his eyes at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. A cold wind blew past his face, and several Night Shadow Race warriors not far away turned into blood mist and exploded.
¡°What the heck kind of monsters are you two? We¡¯re barely holding on, and you¡¯re effortlessly annihting them. Are we even in the same battle?¡±
At this moment, Lin Ran¡¯sints came from afar.
Looking up, Lin Ran was surrounded by three Night Shadow Race warriors, and it was difficult for him to deal with them.
¡°If you need help, please press 1.¡± Feng Qi grinned.
¡°Hmph, underestimating me, eh? You¡¯re in for it!¡± Lin Ran dered as he swiftly crossed his hands, forming seals. Multiple spell trajectories took shape in front of him simultaneously.
But before Lin Ran couldplete the spell seal, Mu Qing¡¯s figure shed past. The three Night Shadow Race warriors who had fought with him for a long time didn¡¯t even have time to react before their bodies exploded into blood mist.
¡°Did you just summon Mu Qing with your seals?¡± Feng Qi grinned.
¡°She¡¯s so strong¡ªdispatching enemies in the blink of an eye. Impressive!¡± Looking at Lin Ran¡¯s excited expression, he couldn¡¯t help butugh. Then, he pounced on thest few Night Shadow Race warriors surrounding the control panel..

Tiger Soul Research Institute.
2 a.m.
The sealed core area was in a mess. Rubble and broken metal fragments were everywhere.
In just an hour, Feng Qi led a group of students and controlled the entire area. The memory of the previous timeline allowed him to understand the structure andyout of the Tiger Soul Research Institute very well. This surprise attack was so unexpected that even the subordinatebat team stationed at the Tiger Soul Research Institute did not notice their actions.
The only resistance was the Night Shadow Race.
However, the destruction of the Night Shadow Race was already destined. After the battle ended, everyone gathered near the control panel.
Feng Qi, who had shed his Blood Source form, returned to hisbat body orm. At this moment, he was standing in front of the dead members of the Night Shadow Race. He extended his gloved right hand and began to outline an array formation that absorbed blood and Qi.
With the glove as a guide, the Spiritual Qi within it followed his finger and moved forward, leaving behind a Spiritual Qi trajectory.
When the spell trajectory of the blood and Qi absorption spell was formed balls of blood and Qi appeared from the dead Night Shadow nsmen and continuously entered his body.
This method of recovering blood and Qi was troublesomepared to obtaining it through killing in the main timeline.
However, Feng Qi was very satisfied that his other self from the sacrifice timeline could borrow his innate ability from the main timeline. He did not ask for anything else.
At the same time, he was certain of one thing.
On the sacrifice timeline, he could not kill the domain creature like in the main timehne. He could not erase the life form that was killed from the multidimensional space.
The narrator had once said that the ability to kill was rted to the absorption of innate abilities.
He could not obtain an innate ability from killing the domain creature on the sacrifice timeline, so there was no need to kill it.
As the blood mist surged into his body, his shriveled heart gradually turned blood-red and began to beat slowly.
¡°Brother Qi, what should we do with them?¡±
Hearing Lin Ran¡¯s shout, he turned toward him.
A group Of humans wearing Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s research uniforms Stood by the wall not far from the control panel. They could not hide the fear in their eyes.
¡°Just a moment.¡±
After absorbing thest blood mist into his body, Feng Qi clenched his fists.
The special gloves immediately stopped spewing Spiritual Qi and entered a standby state.
At this moment, Feng Qi walked into the room beside him.
In an instant, he switched to his human form.
Thick blood and Qi surged out from his heart, enveloping his entire body. His flesh and blood swiftly reformed as the blood mist spread. In the blink of an eye, he had fully recovered his flesh and blood.
He came to the closet in the room and stood still. After taking out a new set of clothes, he changed into them.
Walking out of the room, he went straight to the room of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader not far away.
Upon entering the room, the decorations before him could be described as exceptionally luxurious.
The walls of the room were filled with high-level spiritual stones of various attributes. The arrangement formed a spirit-locking array, and the entire room was filled with a fog Spiritual Qi that had materialized.
If an ordinary person who had nevere into contact with cultivation entered this room, they would be able to feel the increase in their physical strength with a deep breath.
Apart from that, the potted nts nted on the south side of the room were all top-notch spiritual nts that humans could obtain at this stage.
The ground was adorned with a variety of precious gems, each disying different colors. When illuminated, a dense fog of various hues permeated the
The decorations on the bedside table were all high-quality resources. Even the iquid ced m the water dispenser on the north side of the room was a precious rare spiritual spring.
These top-notch resources were very rare. Usually, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had to use them sparingly when conducting various research After all, the share they were allocated was limited. However, it was wasted by the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader.
At this moment, he came to the desk.
There was a blueprint of a super spell on it. In the center of the blueprint was a erocious-looking eight-armed Asura. Each of the Asura¡¯s arms held a different weapon.
On the top right corner of the blueprint was printed ¡°Version 2.0.¡±
Compared to the other powerful races¡¯ ns andyouts, the Night Shadow Race¡¯s ns were simple and crude. They wanted to use brute force to participate in the final race struggle.
The Night Shadow Race¡¯s super spell concept was also simple.
They wanted to create a super spell that could link the power of all their nsmen.
The eight-armed Asura in the concept was huge and could amodate all the Night Shadow nsmen. When the time came, different Night Shadow nsmen would control different parts of the eight arms to fight.
The most powerful of them all was the weapon on each of the eight-armed Asura¡¯s arms. They all had different traits and were extremely lethal.
Many problems needed to be solved to create this spell.
For example, a spell that could connect the minds of the nsmen, a fusion spell that allowed the energy between the nsmen to not conflict, and so on. Creating this super spell required many steps. To be precise, the concept of this super spell wasposed of many spells.
From the concept on the blueprint, it was evident that the blue energy body envelopmg the leader was not even the embryonic form of the eight-armed Asura.
Feng Qi was not interested in this super technique.
At this moment, he reached out and picked up the tablet on the desk.
After waking up the screen, he entered a string of passwords.
After entering the interface, a list of options appeared.
During the period when the Night Shadow Race infiltrated the Tiger Soul
Research Institute, the entire race developed rapidly and learned many things.
For example, nning for the future and recording of important events.
At this moment, he pressed the ¡°Mission List¡±.
Immediately, relevant information appeared. It recorded the Night Shadow Race¡¯s recent mission arrangements..
Chapter 594 - 594: Devoted to Ideals, Fearless of Death (2)

After filtering out the missions that had beenpleted, he looked at the missions that the members of the Night Shadow Race were executing on the tablet.
After memorizing the contents in detail, he walked out of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader¡¯s room.
When he arrived at Lin Ran¡¯s ce, Feng Qi looked at the terrified crowd standing by the wall.
These people were not domain creatures, but researchers and staff members of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Most of them were controlled by the Night Shadow Race¡¯s mental control.
After all the members of the Night Shadow Race died in battle, the mental control that was connected to them was interrupted. At this moment, their eyes had already regained rity.
But there were exceptions.
One of them was a human traitor like Director Liu who was willing to submit to the Night Shadow Race.
If Feng Qi didn¡¯t have the information from the previous timeline, he would be helpless in this situation. He wouldn¡¯t even be able to tell who the human traitor was.
Fortunately, there was a list of humans under the Night Shadow Race¡¯s mental control and envement.
In the previous sacrifice timeline, when he was managing the Tiger Soul Research Institute for Fog, he had asked Night-2 for this list.
Perhaps Night-2 didn¡¯t understand why he wanted this list.
But to Feng Qi, this list was very important.
Even though his other self in the timeline couldn¡¯t use it at the moment, he was aware that there would be a future asion when it would prove beneficial.
Every time he sacrificed himself, he would never consider the problem from the perspective of ¡°me¡±. Instead, he would consider it from the perspective of the other timelines and the main timeline.
The list of traitors was useful at this moment.
Looking at the crowd standing by the wall, who seemed to be at a loss, he slowly said.
¡°Next, I¡¯ll call out names. When I call your name,e up to me!¡±
¡°Yu Yuanzheng!¡±
Standing on the left side of the crowd, a man about 6 feet tall trembled. Nevertheless, he obediently took a few steps forward and stood in front of him.
¡°Bao Gan, Jiang Wenxuan, Ji Shihuai¡¡±
After reading out more than 10 names in a row, the people whose names were called stood in front of him nervously.
¡°Follow me.¡± With that, Feng Qi turned around and walked towards the nearest room.
The dozen or so people looked at each other, but still followed Feng Qi into the room.
After everyone entered the room, Feng Qi, who was standing in the room, waved his hand and closed the door with psychokinesis.
Looking at the dozen or so human traitors standing in front of him, Feng Qi had already thought of how to deal with them.
However, before he attacked them, he swept his gaze across everyone present and asked softly.
¡°Do you regret betraying humanity?¡±
¡°We just want to live. Without the Night Shadow Race, we can still rely on you. We know everything about the Tiger Soul Research Institute and can use knowledge to create value for you.¡±
Someone immediately replied anxiously, trying to show their value.
¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m on the side of humans.¡±
Hearing this question, everyone suddenly realized what Feng Qi meant by this question. Their faces turned pale.
They thought that Feng Qi was another domain faction that wanted to upy the Tiger Soul Research Institute. The conflict with the Night Shadow Race was also for benefit.
Now that the Night Shadow Race had been destroyed, they could still rely on their new master to continue living.
However, when they heard Feng Qi say that he was on the side of humans, they suddenly understood what they were about to face.
Their consequence was apparent.
¡°Is it wrong for us to want to live?¡± At this moment, an old man with graying temples and wearing an old-fashioned Tiger Soul Research Institute uniform asked with trembling lips.
Looking at the old man¡¯s eyes which were filled with the desire to live, Feng Qi swept his gaze across everyone present.
It could be seen that they were all thinking the same thing as the old man.
At this moment, he said.
¡°The fact that you could join the Tiger Soul Research Institute indicates your past excellence. Society invested significant resources in nurturing you. My teacher once said that choosing to study is choosing to be the torchbearer of human civilization, illuminating the future path of humanity. It¡¯s not about extinguishing others¡¯ candles to thrive after achieving sess.¡±
¡°You¡¯re asking me if there¡¯s anything wrong with wanting to live? When you chose to betray humanity, did you ever consider that the privileges you enjoyed during your studies were denied to ordinary people?¡±
¡°I invested resources in you because I hoped that elites like you could lead humanity to ascend, not to let you survive in the face of righteousness. If you wanted to live, why didn¡¯t you choose to be an ordinary person from the start? That way, you wouldn¡¯t have to confront the choice of submission or death.¡± ¡°The human race is on the brink of copse. As a pir of the human race, not only do youck the unwavering determination to reverse the situation but you also talk to me about survival. Screw you!¡±
Hearing this, the old man¡¯s expression darkened.
He opened his mouth and struggled to exin.
¡°I¡¯ve hesitated before, but let me ask you: have you ever faced a life-and-death decision? When confronted with death, would you cower in fear and submit?¡±
Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh when he heard this.
For some, death may seem distant, but for each individual, it¡¯s a one-time journey.
As for him, he had experienced countless deaths.
For ideals to humble, for ideals to endure, for ideals to strive¡ for ideals to persist across various timelines.
Every time he died, he didn¡¯t fear death.
The me of hope in his heart was reborn after being extinguished time and time again.
So, what was there to be afraid of?
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with seeking an extension of life, but we mustn¡¯t forsake the determination embedded in our cultural memories, not to mention losing sight of our humanity. When we look up, we all see the same starry sky..¡±

His voice was gentle, but his determination weighed as heavily as a mountain.
The old man¡¯s eyes flickered and finally, he sighed.
¡°Do it.¡±
Feng Qi did not hesitate. After switching his innate ability to ¡°Evil Thoughts¡±, psychokinesis seeped out of his body and locked onto the necks of everyone in the room.
No matter how they struggled, psychokinesis tightened and slowly lifted them.
He would not show any mercy to human traitors.
From the moment they chose to align themselves with the domain faction, Feng Qi had already considered them an anomaly in his heart.
A momentter, Feng Qi pushed open the door and walked out.
He looked at the Tiger Soul Research Institute researchers and staff members standing against the wall, and the killing intent in his eyes dissipated.
These Tiger Soul Research Institute members were different from human traitors.
They, who had once been controlled by their minds, had never chosen topromise.
It was also because they were unwilling topromise that the Night Shadow Race could only choose to control them in a way that might damage their minds.
Arriving in front of the crowd, Feng Qi swept his gaze across everyone present and began to exin what had happened.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was going to resume operations.
These people were the next ones to take over the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Among them were many Tiger Soul Research Institute higher-ups who had been mentally controlled.
In thisbat timeline, the Tiger Soul Research Institute would also be a part of Breaking Dawn.
After hearing his exnation, the Tiger Soul Research Institute members present understood what had happened.
They knew that they had once been controlled by the Night Shadow Race, but they did not know Feng Qi¡¯s background. Now that they understood the reason, their gaze gradually became firm.
Immediately, a higher-up of the Tiger Soul Research Institute stood up and suggested how to deal with the aftermath.
However, in Feng Qi¡¯s opinion, it was not the time to implement these suggestions.
This was because the operation to eliminate the members of the Night Shadow Race had yet to bepleted.
The members of the Night Shadow Race in the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been removed, but some members were still on missions outside and had not returned.
Therefore, it was crucial to keep thework in the core area paralyzed to prevent members outside from establishing contact with the core area and uncovering any clues.
If he did not kill all these members who were out on a mission, they might be a hidden danger in this operation.
They might even expose the relevant information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance.
But this problem was not unsolvable.
After discussing with the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and the others changed their clothes and left the core area apanied by three higher-ups.
Next, these three higher-ups would control the situation in the Tiger Soul Research Institute and exin thework failure in the core area.
They would also capitalize on the darkness of the night sky to manage the aftermath.
Under the arrangements of the higher-ups, they took various vehicles of the institute.
After the convoy drove out of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, they drove in different directions in Star City.
He had obtained the list of members of the Night Shadow Race who were on a mission. Their locations during the mission were also recorded on the tablet of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader.
Other than Yang Xiaoxin, Yan Yue, Cai Guo, and Xu Hongyun, who remained in the core area, he would continue his mission with Lin Ran and the rest.
Next, it would be the final hunt of the night!
Under the hazy moonlight, the cars moved steadily along the main road.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Looking at the bright full moon through the car window, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
Afterpleting this clean-up operation, the Tiger Soul Research Institute would return to human hands and be a firm support force for Breaking Dawn.
It would help the advancement of thisbat timeline..

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
3:30 a.m.
The entire city was still in a deep sleep. Only the cleaning robots that were operating non-stop were still shuttling around the city.
In the southern district of Star City.
A 25-year-old man wearing sses was still awake. He was lying in front of the desk and writing in his notebook under the light.
From time to time, he would look up at the screen and type on the keyboard to search for relevant information in the field of spells.
His name was Hu Boyuan, and he wasn¡¯t a spells major.
It was purely an ident that he entered the research department of spells.
About four years ago, after graduating from an ordinary middle school, he was slightlycking in marks. It was a pity that he did not enter the ideal Milky Way
Academy.
There were only two choices before him.
If he entered an ordinary university to further his studies, he would not be able to obtain arge amount of resources like the students of a famous university. There were many ideas that he had to spend money to expand his research. The probability of entering a famous research institute after graduation was extremely low, unless he had outstanding achievements during his studies.
The other option was to step into society and be a screw of human civilization.
Neither choice was what he wanted.
Considering that his parents were old, choosing to continue studying would undoubtedly increase their burden. Therefore, Hu Boyuan gritted his teeth and chose to give up on his studies. After being rmended by a middle school teacher, he joined a resource transportationpany as a resource auditor.
Day after day of boredom had long made him forget his former ideals. asionally, he would dream of the deration he had made when he was a student to study for the rise of humanity. Although he was passionate about it, he still had to face reality when he woke up.
Reality was not a novel. He epted the fact that he was just an ordinary person. He was not the protagonist either. He no longer wanted to change the world. He just wanted to do what was right in front of him.
He even thought that if he had a child in the future, he would nurture them well and let them carry on his dream.
After he gave up and became mediocre, he realized that the restlessness in his heart had dissipated.
However, he had a heartfelt love for spells. It was just that this love was no longer radical.
Every year, he would watch the conceptpetitions held by the various research institutes or the live stream of discussions in the field of spells.
Each year, he would observe the conceptpetitions organized by various research institutes or participate in live-streamed discussions in the field of spells.
It was akin to tuning in to a live stream of a sportspetition. Watching nightly live streams in the field of spells had be part of his routine.
Such ordinary days continued for a long time.
However, a seminar in the field of spells four years ago suddenly enlightened him.
Surprisingly, the theme was not rted to spells. The title was ¡°From Nothing to Something.¡±
At that conference, many well-known schrs in the field of cultivation talked about the early development of the field of spells. They talked about the process of opening a path for human spells.
That seminar made Hu Boyuan suddenly realize something. Spellcraft was not as far-sighted as he thought. Miracles could also be born from ordinary things.
Since the development of spells, many concepts were not created by famous schrs. They were created by many ordinary schrs and even passionate people.
After watching that episode, a bold idea appeared in Hu Boyuan¡¯s mind.
Why didn¡¯t he give it a try?
When the seeds of ideas were nted in his heart, they began to grow uncontrobly.
Finally, Hu Boyuan took this step. Every day after returning from work, he would dedicate his time to studying, aiming to reignite the extinguished passion in his heart.
Love was always the most effective teacher.
During his self-study, he found a group of like-minded friends online and established a self-study group on spells.
The friends were the same as him. They loved spells but were not professionals.
Every time a new concept appeared in the field of spells, it would be a hot topic in the group.
The learning atmosphere in the group was very strong. Whenever other members encountered problems that they did not understand, they would brainstorm to help solve them.
The most triumphant moment within the group urred when the brainstormed concept was adopted by the spell department of the Milky Way Academy, integrating into the development of a new spell concept.
This part of the content might be an insignificant sentence in the system concept, but it still made the group cheer for a few days.
There were a few in-person gatherings within the group that filled them with immense pride whenever this topic was brought up.
Such a life made Hu Boyuan feel very blissful.
Having a circle of like-minded friends and a fulfilling life, everything seemedplete except for love.
Over the past four years, Hu Boyuan had risen to be the foremost individual in the group.
His growth was quick.
From being an ordinary person at the beginning to often helping newbies answer questions, he became the most outstanding ¡°veteran¡± in the group, using only two years.
Under the encouragement of the group members, Hu Boyuan finally took a step forward into the professional field.
In the past two years, Hu Boyuan often participated in the conceptpetition held online. He hade up with many outstanding suggestions and ideas, leaving a deep impression on many people.
Many people even spected that he might be a major yer in the spellcasting field, posing as an anonymous participant online.
Recently, Hu Boyuan¡¯s reputation soared.
This was rted to the popr concept of ¡°Spiritual Qi Transformation¡± in the field of spells recently.
The person who proposed the concept was a well-known schr in the field of spells in the Milky Way Academy..

After analyzing arge amount of information rted to Spiritual Qi, he believed that if humans could master the free conversion of Spiritual Qi, it would greatly promote the development of cultivation.
For example, Spiritual Qi was the most basic energy substance in cultivation.
It could be converted into Spiritual Qi of various other attributes, such as Fire Spiritual Qi, Water Spiritual Qi, and so on.
A renowned schr from the Milky Way Academy introduced the concept of freely converting Spiritual Qi and initiated discussions on the Inte. The aim was to actualize this concept, allowing human cultivation to transition from a fixed conversion to a stage where attributes could be changed at will.
This concept caused quite a stir in the field of spells. Arge number of spells professionals participated in the improvement of the concept.
Hu Boyuan was one of them.
umte strength and erupt with power¡ªthis perfectly described Hu Boyuan.
After years of love and learning, he had amassed a substantial amount of knowledge in this field. The discussions with group members over the years also generated numerous new concepts in his mind.
About three months ago, Hu Boyuan published the thesis that he had prepared for a month on the Inte.
The title was ¡°Spiritual Qi Transformation ¨C Analyzing the Feasibility of Transforming Attributes from the Arrangement of Spiritual Qi Particles¡±.
There were more than 50,000 words in the entire text.
The content of the thesis was about basic settings, but it also proposed many novel concepts.
Even for spellcasting professionals, it was an exceptionally detailed exnation.
Many of the ideas mentioned were verifying the feasibility of freely switching Spiritual Qi attributes. Some of the proposals were confirmed after testing by professional organizations.
After receiving the evaluation report from the professional organization, Hu Boyuan shocked the world in the field of spells.
The Inte was discussing his true identity.
At the same time, the various professional organizations were also curious about Hu Boyuan.
The various authoritative organizations were different from the online masses. With the highest authority in the city, they could easily obtain Hu Boyuan¡¯s true identity.
It was simr to Feng Qi extracting identity information from the Star City Shelter.
He only needed to enter his name and filter it to obtain Hu Boyuan¡¯s detailed information.
Many research institutes in the field of spells also noticed Hu Boyuan.
After delving into his experiences, they unearthed a hidden gem. Without any hesitation, various spell research institutes extended an invitation to Hu Boyuan.
Among them were the spell departments of the Milky Way Research Institute, the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and other professional cultivation institutions.
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Hu Boyuan.
Especially with the invitation from the Milky Way Research Institute, he saw hope in fulfilling his dream. The me of his dream was reignited again.
This enthusiasm finally paid off.
Without any hesitation, he chose to ept the Milky Way Research Institute¡¯s invitation.
However, before leaving, Hu Boyuan decided to continue perfecting the concept of Spiritual Qi conversion. He invited the group members to participate and witness it together.
He knew that his friends loved spells as much as he did.
The group members also congratted Hu Boyuan for sessfully being invited to join the Milky Way Research Institute.
He even motivated the group members to continue working hard, hoping that one day they would fulfill their dreams like him.
In the past two months, Hu Boyuan had resigned from his job at the energypany and devoted himself to perfecting the concept of Spiritual Qi conversion.
During this period, he revised his original thesis again and perfected its shorings.
His growth was visible to the naked eye.
Today was Hu Boyuan¡¯sst revised thesis. Next, he would go to the Milky Way Research Institute and officially be a researcher in the field of spells.
It was already 3:30 in the morning. He was tireless and kept sketching the trajectory of the spell in his notebook.
From time to time, he would look up from his keyboard to read information or discuss conceptual problems with the group members.
At this moment, the group members were still awake. They were all helping Hu Boyuan perfect the concept and witnessing his final step from ordinary to professional.
It reached 4 in the morning.
Hu Boyuan finally stopped writing. Then, he used professional software to record the concept design on theputer.
When the revised trajectory map and description were published in the group, the members cheered.
[Everyone, have a good rest. Thank you for apanying me all the way!]
After typing thest line, Hu Boyuan closed the screen and looked at the suitcase that was ced at the door of the room. A smile appeared on his face.
His dream finally came true at this moment.
In the future, he nned to persist in this passion and dedicate his life to the refinement of human spells.
At this moment, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Standing in front of the sink, he washed his face and looked up at the mirror.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness. He could not help but stagger forward and almost hit his head against the mirror.
Gripping the sink to steady himself, he lifted his head with difficulty and noticed that his reflection in the mirror appeared distorted. His vision alternated between spinning and momentarily stabilizing before resuming its whirl.
Despite shaking his head, his vision failed to regain rity.
He felt like he was about to suffocate.
It was as if a voice kept whispering in his mind, trying to change his thoughts and consciousness.
He kept shaking his head, trying to get rid of this uncontroble feeling.
However, these actions were all in vain. He felt increasingly dizzy as if he would fall unconscious at any moment.
Just as he staggered around to get his phone from the desk and call the emergency number, he suddenly saw a burly figure standing at the door..

Its entire body was swathed in bandages, and some of its exposed skin bore a purple hue, rendering it non-humanlike. Its eyes resembled captivating vortexes. Almost imperceptible purple lines manifested on its body¡¯s surface, expanding and entwining around him.
This made Hu Boyuan realize that he might have encountered a domain transcendent creature.
He would have a slim chance of survival if he encountered a monster that could walk out of the domain field freely. However, he was unwilling to die just like that when his dream had just begun.
He tried to struggle and resist, but his body seemed to be rooted to the ground, unable to move.
¡°What a pity. You could have chosen the Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
At this moment, the purple-skinned man smiled and mocked.
Upon hearing this, Hu Boyuan clearly didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind these words. He struggled to ask.
¡°Who¡ are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m your future master. I have to say that you are very talented. If your concept of Spiritual Qi conversion is sessful, it will undoubtedly fill an important part of the Spiritual Qi fusion in our super spell concept. How can we be willing to let a genius like you go to the Milky Way Research Institute?¡±
The purple-skinned man replied unhurriedly, its expression abnormally rxed.
In its eyes, the weak Hu Boyuan was like amb waiting to be ughtered. He could not break free from its control.
¡°Don¡¯t waste time. Give up resisting and follow me.¡±
As soon as the purple-skinned man finished speaking, it intensified the mental control. However, Hu Boyuan still didn¡¯t give up resisting.
Upon seeing this scene, the purple-skinned man seemed to lose its patience. It waved its hand and knocked Hu Boyuan unconscious before carrying him on its back.
Confronting Hu Boyuan, who remained unwilling topromise, it was evident that mental control was not something that could be aplished swiftly. The decision was made to bring him back first and then return to the mental control room to execute the subsequent control.
It carried Hu Boyuan to the window that had opened at some point. The purple-skinned man looked at the camera that was turning in the distance and waited for a moment before jumping down.
Afternding on the ground, most of the power was neutralized.
After standing still, it walked towards a dark corner in the distance that was not illuminated by the streetmps.
It was not the first time it had engaged in such an action. Everything appeared familiar.
After carrying Hu Boyuan for more than 300 feet, the purple-skinned man turned into a dark corner.
At this moment, its body slowly floated in the air, but as soon as its feet left the ground, it felt a binding forceing from all directions, freezing it 2 feet above the ground.
The purple-skinned man was shocked and immediately turned to look at the darkness where the power wasing from.
It saw a pair of eyes staring at it in the darkness. It could see dark green mes jumping in this pair of evil eyes, followed by dense killing intent.
¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± the purple-skinned man immediately asked in the face of danger.
¡°It¡¯s not relevant. What matters is that you¡¯re going to die!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with purple skin felt his back lighten. Hu Boyuan, who was on his back, was lifted by a mysterious force and floated into the darkness.
Faced with an uncontroble situation, the purple-skinned man immediately began to struggle.
However, it could not break free from the restraints of psychokinesis.
At this moment, it heard a ringtone from the darkness.
Then came the sound of the phone being picked up.
¡°Brother Qi, I¡¯ve settled the second one. How¡¯s the situation on your side?¡±
¡°Nothing much, I¡¯ve just dealt with the fourth¡ No, the fifth one!¡±
Soon after, it witnessed a fist aze with dark green mes rapidly expanding in front of it. A fierce wind swept across its face, rendering it unable to open its eyes.
In the end, the scenepletely froze and fell into endless darkness..

When Feng Qi returned to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it was 7 a.m.
Through the name list in the hands of the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader, Feng Qi learned that there were a total of 17 Night Shadow nsmen who were out on missions.
After a night of hard work, all the Night Shadow nsmen who had gone out had been sessfully killed.
In this timeline, the Night Shadow Race had officially be a thing of the past.
Intelligence yed a decisive role in this operation.
Based on the information, Feng Qi divided the operation to eliminate the Night Shadow Race into three steps.
The first step was to enter the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
This was the easiest step in the n. His application was approved by the Tiger Soul Research Institute without any suspense.
The second step was to take action at 1 a.m. and control the main control console in the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
This step seemed difficult, but Feng Qi had drawn theyout of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters building in advance. As long as the operation was carried out, there wouldn¡¯t be a situation where they couldn¡¯t find their target like headless flies.
As long as he controlled the main control console, he could control the cameras, and power supplies, lock down the core area, and other authorities in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
If this step was sessful, the Night Shadow Race would not be able to pass on the situation in the core area to their nsmen who were carrying out missions outside.
The third step was to kill the Night Shadow nsmen who were carrying out missions outside and destroy the Night Shadow Race.
Through the information from the previous timeline, Feng Qi knew that the Night Shadow Race¡¯s leader had a mission list in its hands. It recorded the resource inventory in the Tiger Soul Research Institute in detail, as well as the details of the personnel carrying out the mission.
In the previous timeline, it had even carried this tablet with it.
Every time it counted the supplies, it would bring its authority tablet to assist in the statistics.
Therefore, he knew the password to the tablet.
Although the third step of the n took a long time, there were no idents along the way. They easilypleted the final hunt.
It could be said that eradicating the Night Shadow Race was akin to clearing a dungeon with a guide.
After returning to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, Feng Qi met up with Mu Qing and the others.
The operation was over. Now, it was time to wrap things up.
Other than the members of the Night Shadow Race, the group of human traitors had also been killed by Feng Qi in this operation.
They were all researchers registered in the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Sooner orter, they had to give the outside world an exnation for their deaths.
Feng Qi and the current higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute discussed this issue.
In the end, they decided to fake the scientific research explosion in the core area to give the outside world a ¡°reasonable¡± exnation of death.
As for whether the outside world would believe this exnation, it was not important.
Initially, the immediate reaction of ordinary people upon hearing such news would be surprise. They typically wouldn¡¯t harbor any doubts about the credibility of the authoritative organization, the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Moreover, idents often happened in experiments, but it was rare for such arge number of casualties to happen.
Secondly, the military department of Star City and the Tiger Soul Research Institute held the same level of authority within the city. They wouldn¡¯t intervene in the handling of affairs rted to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The distinctiony in the fact that the Tiger Soul Research Institute was an organization focused on internal system-building, whereas the military functioned as a stabilization and external warfare organization.
If a major experimental ident happened, the Star City military would call to express their condolences, but they would not interfere.
The only problem came from the Star City Supreme Council.
As the management organization formed by the highest-ranking people in charge of various organizations in Star City, they had the right to ask about the details of the ident in the Tiger Soul Research Institute and give targeted suggestions.
But Feng Qi was not worried about this.
There were three special authorities in the Star City Supreme Council.
Each of them had six decision votes, six times the number of votes of ordinary institutions.
These three organizations were also known as the three elders. They were the Star City Military, the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and the Scarlet Research Institute.
Regarding the major ident that happened in the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the Scarlet Research Institute could also help in the Supreme Council to ensure that no idents would happen.
As for the authorities of other citiesing to offer their condolences, it waspletely a formality. They would not especially send people to Star City to investigate, let alone have the authority to investigate.
This was also the reason why the owner of the fog chose the Tiger Soul Research Institute back then.
Unless the secret was exposed and the other institutions in Star City joined forces to vote for sanctions, other small incidents would not shake the foundation of the Tiger Soul Research Institute at all.
After the meeting ended, Feng Qi established a connection between the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute.
The Scarlet Research Institute would send people to contact the Tiger Soul Research Institute to discuss the subsequent matters.
At the same time, after the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute understood his situation, they expressed that they would fully support the nextbat timeline.
He was not surprised by the Tiger Soul Research Institute higher-ups¡¯ decision.
Facing the threats and temptations of the Night Shadow Race, they did not give in. This proved that they were firmly on the side of humans.
He still remembered the oath he took when he was studying.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s support was undoubtedly a good thing for Breaking Dawn¡¯s future development.
The Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s position on the sacrifice timeline was very clear. They would prioritize stability and not participate in any external battles. Once there was a crisis, they would hide in the secret base in advance and be isted from the world.
Therefore, the Scarlet Research Institute couldn¡¯t provide much help with Breaking Dawn¡¯s development. They even had to take the initiative to cut ties.
However, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was different. It was an authoritative organization that stood under the sun and could help Breaking Dawn develop at any time.
More importantly, the Tiger Soul Research Institute controlled 70% of the media organizations in Star City..

Feng Qi had suffered from public opinion.
If Breaking Dawn was marked as a human traitor in thisbat timeline, they would not only have to confront domain factions but also contend with the Star City Military and the war and stabilization organizations in other cities, all of which would be their adversaries.
Even ordinary people would join the crusade against Breaking Dawn.
After suffering a loss, he had to learn from it.
This was also the main reason why he chose to attack the Tiger Soul Research Institute immediately.
With the Tiger Soul Research Institute as his backing, he could reduce many troublesome problems.
For example, if the Spiritual Energy Race that controlled Former Days City chose tounch a public opinion war against Breaking Dawn, the Tiger Soul Research Institute could control the public opinion in Star City to resist the infiltration of the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯s public opinion into Star City.
At the very least, it could ensure the stability of the base at the back of Star City¡¯sbat timeline.
After cleaning up the Tiger Soul Research Institute, Feng Qi returned to Star City Academy with the students.
Breaking Dawn was still in the initial stages of development. The most important thing was to increase their overall strength.
On this point, Feng Qi had nned his development direction when he was at the other sacrifice timeline.
He had a detailed n in mind on how to recruit new people.
First of all, he had a list of talents in his mind.
This list was obtained when Breaking Dawn was formed in the previous timeline.
At that time, Breaking Dawn had infiltrated Future City and secretly resisted the Science and Technology Research Institute.
During this period, he met Li Xingchen and was saved by him. In the end, he even received a list of talents from Li Xingchen.
With this name list, Breaking Dawn gathered many talents and their influence kept increasing.
But the problem was also obvious.
At that point, Breaking Dawn expanded in an offline manner. Each member had their code name.
Other than the fact that he had a full list of people, the other members were not necessarily acquainted with members of their organization.
The benefit of doing this was that even if the Science and Technology Research Institute captured some members of the organization, no matter what methods they used, they could not wipe out Breaking Dawn at once.
The problem was that the scattered management made it difficult for Breaking Dawn to gather theirbat strength.
It was like being in a state of disunity.
There was no fixed gathering point. They could only transmit information through their superiors, which was extremely inefficient.
Thisbat timeline did not have the same hidden danger.
With Star City as the backline, he couldpletely gather the talent organizations together.
However, it was not the right time to recruit talents from Future City.
Before hepletely controlled Star City, doing so might alert the enemy. If the talent reserves in Future City were constantly disappearing, the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute would be alerted and might follow the clues to find them.
Feng Qi was not afraid of the ck shadow faction.
With the one-man army, Mu Qing, holding the fort, there was nothing to fear as long as the ck shadow faction didn¡¯t unleash ckie.
However, he felt that it was better to be cautious in the early stages of Breaking Dawn¡¯s development. If he wanted to go far, he had to at leastpletely control the situation in Star City.
Apart from that, he also had a list of talents in Star City.
This list came from the previous timeline when he controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The target on the list was from the Night Shadow Race. It was originally the next target for the Night Shadow Race to prepare for mental control.
There were only a few dozen people on the list; far less than the list provided by Li Xingchen.
However, it would also be of great help to the early development of Breaking Dawn.
Especially the man named Tian Shu on the list.
He was at the top of the list with potential. He was imprisoned underground in the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s branch base and was a top-secret figure in the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Even the Tiger Soul Research Institute did not know his detailed background.
The Night Shadow Race had tried to control his mind.
However, the invincible mental control ability was useless to him.
In the end, they had no choice but to continue detaining him deep underground in the sub-base.
In the previous timeline, he had read through the authority information of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and learned some of Tian Shu¡¯s secrets, but he did note into contact with him.
After all, the main purpose of the viin line was not to uncover human talents.
There was no need for him to go and interact with such an uncontroble human.
After all, even if he came into contact with him, he could not choose to release him.
Thisbat timeline no longer had such concerns. He felt that Tian Shu might be able to surprise him.
However, the prerequisite was to control Star City first and stabilize the relevant situation in the city.
After returning to Star City Academy, Feng Qi began to formte his next n.
Now that the Night Shadow Race had beenpletely wiped out, the next target was clear. It was arge number of weak race alliance members rooted in Star City.
The information from the previous viin line was useful again.
After the owner of the fog got its hands on the Tiger Soul Research Institute, to consolidate its control over the situation in Star City, it attacked the weak race alliance.
In the end, it reached an agreement with the upper echelons of the weak race alliance by providing resources and controlling its intelligencework.
ording to the owner of the fog at that time, although the weak race alliance could be used, it was undoubtedly a double-edged sword.
Ordering them around would indeed facilitate their ns for the future, but they would also sell information rted to them for benefits.
It was easy for external forces to know the situation in Star City. They only needed to provide resources to buy it.
If it wanted topletely control Star City, the hidden dangers brought about by the weak race alliance in these areas had to be eliminated.
Back then, there were two choices in front of the owner of the fog..

Chapter 601: It Was Like Copying a Homework! (3)

First, it would use bloody methods to exterminate the weak race alliance.
But it would not be easy to do so.
The weak race alliance seemed to be in a state of disunity. It wasprised of warriors from various weak races across different domains, functioning like a mercenary organization tform with no absolutemander.
The higher-ups of the weak race alliance were more like the creators of the tform, but they were not the controllers of the alliance and did not have decisivemand.
It was just like how the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute had wiped out Breaking Dawn back then. It was extremely difficult to eliminate the enemies to be in a state of disunity.
If they encountered bloody suppression, the weak race alliance would copsepletely. However, the warriors would still be rooted in Star City. It was just that without a systematic organization, their efficiency would decrease greatly.
However, the hidden danger was still there and had not disappeared.
These scattered weak race warriors could still send relevant information to the outside world.
They also dared to take the risk of investigating the Tiger Soul Research Institute when the external bid was high enough. After all, weak race warriors in these areas could be considered ouws.
Secondly, it would first prove its strength through bloody suppression, then use negotiation to control the informationwork of the weak race alliance.
Although the weak race alliance was a tform, as long as this tform did not copse, all information would still be exchanged through it.
Controlling the weak race alliance was equivalent to controlling the source of the information.
This option was undoubtedly exchanged for the greatest value at the lowest price.
From many perspectives, the owner of the fog in the previous timeline finally chose to control the upper echelons of the weak race alliance and use the method of controlling the intelligencework to control the weak race alliance.
All missions had to go through the owner of the fog before they could be sent to the stronghold of the weak race alliance in Star City.
This step was indeed ingenious.
For example, at that time, the Dark God Race had issued many missions to investigate the information in Star City. However, before these missions could be issued to the weak race warriors, they were sent to the owner of the fog by the higher-ups of the weak race alliance and were removed in advance.
In the end, the leader of the Dark Gods could only take the risk and lead his nsmen into Star City to investigate.
Even though the owner of the fog also said that it would eliminate the weak race alliance in the end, in the early stages of the development of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, controlling the informationwork of the weak race alliance was undoubtedly the best choice.
At that time, when the owner of the fog controlled the weak race alliance, it even obtained the coordinates of the various branches in Star City provided by the higher-ups.
The owner of the fog had once taken the initiative to share this information with Feng Qi.
Of course, he would not let go of such important information. He memorized all the coordinates.
At that time, he knew that he would not be able to use this information, but he would be able to use it in other timelines.
Now, this information was in his hands.
It would also help him resolve the hidden danger of the weak race alliance.
Now, he had the same two choices as the owner of the fog.
Eliminating the weak race alliance or controlling it.
Before he started thebat timeline, he had considered this question carefully. In the end, he decided to choose the second option like the owner of the fog.
When Breaking Dawn was strong enough, he would consider eliminating the weak race alliance in Star City.
As for how to control the weak race alliance, he did not think it was difficult.
There was no need for a detailed n. He just needed to repeat what the owner of the fog had done.
It was like copying a homework!
Chapter 602 - 602: Deterrence Operation (1)
Chapter 602: Deterrence Operation (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Star City Academy.
It was 9 p.m.
After getting dressed, Feng Qi stood in front of the mirror and tidied up meticulously. Once he confirmed that he had securely wrapped himself, he grabbed his backpack and made his way out of the room and downstairs.
Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The willow branches by theke swayed in the wind.
He took out his phone and looked at the time. He walked straight towards the entrance of the academy.
After greeting the security guards, he left Star City Academy.
An hourter, Feng Qi appeared in a coffee shop in the East District of Star City and walked in.
¡°Brother Qi, over here!¡± At this moment, Lin Ran shouted.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. He realized that Lin Ran, Mu Qing, and Lu Yue had already arrived.
He came to Mu Qing¡¯s side and sat down. Feng Qi ced his backpack on his chest.
¡°Brother Qi, we¡¯re all ready. Where is it?¡± Lin Ran asked softly.
¡°Where¡¯s what?¡±
¡°The masks! Since it¡¯s a secret operation, don¡¯t we have to wear a mask?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi unzipped his backpack and revealed four masks inside. They were Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing.
¡°Can¡¯t you buy some masks that look cool? Wearing this mask makes me feel like a fool!¡±
¡°After dinner, I went to the academy¡¯smercial street. Coincidentally, there were only four of us in this operation. I thought it was quite suitable. It¡¯s not like we can¡¯t cover our faces.¡±
¡°Fine, I want Sun Wukong.¡±
¡°Up to you!¡±
As they chatted, time passed.
During this period, Mu Qing would asionally interject, while Lu Yue maintained a cold expression throughout. ording to Lin Ran, Lu Yue must have been a creditor in his previous life, the kind the entire world owed money to.
Now that the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s problem had been resolved, Feng Qi decided to attack the weak races in Star City tonight.
If he wanted to control the weak race alliance, the first step was to disy his strength and let the higher-ups of the weak races in Star City see his strength.
Only then would he be qualified to negotiate.
The method of bloody suppression seemed violent, but it was the simplest and most effective method for the domain factions that preyed on the weak.
Only by making the other party afraid could he make a request.
At that time, the owner of the fog used this method of intimidation and enticement.
When the higher-ups of the weak race alliance thought that Star City was no longer safe and considered disbanding the alliance and establishing it in the future, the owner of the fog gave generous terms and promised to provide resources and benefits to the higher-ups of the weak race alliance.
This move allowed the owner of the fog to easily grasp the mission and informationwork of the weak race alliance in Star City.
Compared to redesigning the intricate nning process, copying homework was easier.
It was 11 p.m.
Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and the others left the cafe and walked towards their destination.
It was almost the new year, and the temperature was cold. There weren¡¯t many pedestrians on the road.
The cleaning robot, which operated 24 hours a day, slowly moved along the established route. The lights on its body intertwined, adding a hint of vitality to the cold street.
Half an hourter, Feng Qi led the three of them into an alley without streetmps.
After walking for a while and turning the corner, they stopped in front of a bar.
A neon sign stood in front of the bar with the word ¡°Armageddon¡± illuminated on it.
There was also a detailed description of the bar¡¯s features below. At the end, there was a striking line of text.
[This bar is exclusive to members only. Non-members are not permitted to enter. To be a member, you require a rmendation from an existing member.]
Feng Qi was very familiar with this ce.
The fishing operation in the previous timeline had started here. In the end, they caught a big fish like the Night Shadow Race.
Standing in front of the bar, Feng Qi took off his backpack, took out four masks, and distributed them to Lu Yue, Lin Ran, and Mu Qing.
After putting on the mask, Feng Qi turned to look at Lu Yue, who was wearing the Tang Sanzang mask.
¡°Lu Yue, you¡¯re in charge of keeping watch at the door.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Lu Yue did not waste his breath and immediately nodded in response, standing aside.
Then, Feng Qi led Lin Ran and Mu Qing into the bar.
They walked along the dimly lit corridor to the iron door at the end. He reached out and knocked on it.
A few secondster, the window on the iron door slid open. A pair of eyes appeared and sized up the situation outside.
¡°Do you need something?¡± A hoarse voice sounded.
¡°Of course, we do. Why do you think we are here?¡± Lin Ran immediately said.
¡°Member number!¡± The voice asked again.
¡°112834!¡± Feng Qi replied.
This number came from the Night Shadow Race, and he could use it now.
¡°One moment.¡± The window on the iron door was closed.
After waiting for a moment, the sound of gears turning could be heard as the iron door slowly opened.
He saw a man more than 6 feet tall standing behind the door. He carried a thick iron chain on his right shoulder and had a fierce expression.
At this moment, he stepped aside to make way.
Feng Qi immediately led Lin Ran and Mu Qing into the bar.
mors immediately filled their ears. Unlike the cold outside, arge number of humanoid domain warriors were gathered here.
Amid the explosive music, some of these ouws were gambling, some were exchanging information, and some were drinking alone.
There was nock of domain warriors wearing masks.
Their attire did not attract attention.
Those who coulde here were all desperate warriors who had risked their lives for the future of their race. They could risk their lives for benefits and sometimes would plunder the resources of other races.
In such an environment, it was easy to be enemies.
Protecting one¡¯s privacy was also a form of protection for one¡¯s safety. It was also a protection for the race behind them..

Feng Qi brought Lin Ran and Mu Qing to the bar and sat down.
The bloody suppression of this weak race stronghold was his n tonight.
However, before that, he decided to take a look at the recent missions of the weak races. There might be an unexpected discovery.
¡°What will you have?¡±
Behind the bar, a muscr man wearing a ck hat and sporting tattoos of distorted symbols all over his half-naked body looked at him and asked.
Compared to what he remembered, the bartender was a different person. However, this did not affect his subsequent actions.
¡°I¡¯ll have a Mission List!¡±
Upon hearing this, the bartender immediately nodded and began to make the drink. Finally, he dripped a liquid with purple mist into the wine ss.
After the concoction waspleted, the muscr man pushed three sses of wine in front of them.
Picking up the wine ss, Feng Qi downed it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lin Ran and Mu Qing immediately drank the purple liquid in the wine ss.
At this moment, Feng Qi closed his eyes and entered his sea of consciousness.
In the sky above the golden sea, purple energy kept seeping in. Finally, the purple energy gathered in the sky above his sea of consciousness and slowly unfolded like a painting.
What appeared in front of him was a mission list.
It provided a detailed list of missions issued by various domain factions along with the remuneration andpensation afterpleting each mission.
The contents of the list on the painting could be controlled by his consciousness to flip the page.
Compared to the previous timeline, he came to this bar five years earlier than the owner of the fog. The missions he could see were different from what the owner of the fog saw.
However, the missions on the list were nothing more than investigation, hiring, assassination, escort, and so on.
Among them, he was most interested in the assassination mission.
There were only two targets on the assassination list. The first was the enemy domain faction, and the second was the human geniuses.
In his opinion, these human geniuses on the list were undoubtedly the talent reserves of Breaking Dawn.
For example, there was a man named ¡°Luan Shaoyuan¡± on the assassination list. The project he was studying was rted to how to absorb the bloodline power of domain creatures.
Regardless of whether his research project was feasible or not, it made some domain factions worried.
As a result, he was on the assassination list.
There were many other simr situations. Some talented research projects only made certain domain factions feel threatened and would issue missions to kill them in advance.
This did not surprise Feng Qi.
For example, in the previous timeline, if someone said that he was researching how to crack Flesh Sacrifice, regardless of whether he could take this path or not, he would be killed by the owner of the fog in advance to prevent uncontroble situations from happening.
After flipping through the mission list for a moment, his gaze was attracted by a mission.
He immediately focused his gaze on this mission, and the details of the mission immediately appeared.
[Investigate the background of the blue-skinned creature!]
Picture: (Blue Skin Creature)
Requirement: Investigate the origins of the blue-skinned creatures or provide information rted to them.
Deadline: None
Reward: Depending on the value of the information provided, the minimum reward is three miracle blood stones. There is no upper limit.
Details:¡
Feng Qi was very familiar with the picture in the mission details.
It was a thin blue-skinned assassin.
He did not expect that there would be a mission to investigate the blue-skinned assassin.
In the intelligence, the only domain faction that had researched the blue-skinned assassin was the Spiritual Energy Race.
In the previous timeline, he knew from the owner of the fog¡¯s description that there was a secret base of the Spiritual Energy Race in the sewers of Twilight City. There was an experimental project to study the blue-skinned assassin inside.
This made him suspect that this mission might have been issued by the Spiritual Energy Race.
Perhaps the same mission was not only in Star City but the weak race alliance in the other four cities had also received it.
As for why the Spiritual Energy Race wanted to investigate the blue-skinned assassin, the information in his possession had not yet delved into the relevant content, so he did not know for the time being.
As if to better carry out the investigation mission, the details of the mission were not only pasted with pictures of the blue-skinned assassin but also many details.
Among them were many cases of discovering traces of the blue-skinned assassin.
Flipping through the descriptions, he saw a lot of information that he didn¡¯t understand.
One of the pieces of information made Feng Qi extremely puzzled.
Case No. 1223: A blue-skinned creature was discovered near Twilight City. This creature lived in harmony with a human boy called Yuan Tai. The investigation found that they had formed a deep friendship. The blue-skinned creature even used some mysterious method to extend Yuan Tai¡¯s life and save him, who should have died of a serious illness.
What in the world?
He knew that the blue-skinned assassin had emotions and was not a pure robot.
After many encounters, he had seen the struggle of the blue-skinned assassin before it died.
However, his impression was that these blue-skinned assassins were fearless when plundering miracle items.
Now that he knew the blue-skinned assassin had formed a friendship with a human and had even treated a seriously ill human, this revtion was entirely different from his previous impression.
This made him even more curious about the origins of the blue-skinned assassin.
However, he would never believe that the blue-skinned assassin was on the side of humans.
He had witnessed the ruthlessness of the blue-skinned assassin. When it appeared in front of him, it had always been violent. There was no room for negotiation.
At the thought of this, a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
What if the blue-skinned assassin was a super weapon made by humans?
They only killed him because he still had the aura of a domain creature on him, but they would not attack ordinary humans..

But when he thought about it carefully, this exnation did not make sense.
Back when he investigated the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s authority, he had found instances of blue-skinned assassins attacking ordinary humans.
Apart from that, the blue-skinned assassin had also tried to assassinate Qin Shikong.
The miracle blood stone obtained in the Former Days Eastern Supply Area was also snatched by the frontline warriors after fighting the blue-skinned assassin.
From these examples, it could be confirmed that the blue-skinned assassin was definitely not a hidden force on the side of humans.
As for why the blue-skinned assassin had formed a friendship with humans, he couldn¡¯t figure out the reason.
Perhaps this was just an example of a blue-skinned assassin.
After all, there were also traitors among humans. It made sense that there was a special case among the blue-skinned assassins.
However, from this mission, it could be seen that the Spiritual Energy Race attached great importance to the blue-skinned assassin. Otherwise, they would not have issued a mission to investigate.
Perhaps the faction behind the blue-skinned assassin was very powerful, making the Spiritual Energy Race worried.
It was also possible that the Spiritual Energy Race coveted the miracle items collected by the blue-skinned assassin.
It could be any of them.
However, there was limited information about the blue-skinned assassins.
If thisbat timeline went smoothly, he would lead Breaking Dawn to explore the Spiritual Energy Race¡¯sboratory underground in Twilight City and search for clues.
If his strength allowed it, he even wanted to uproot the Spiritual Energy Race in Former Days City.
He would use violence to obtain more useful intelligence.
After flipping through the mission list for a while, the purple fog in his sea of consciousness slowly faded.
At this moment, he opened his eyes.
He turned to look at Lin Ran, who was also slowly waking up. Only Mu Qing was swirling her wine ss as if she had already woken up.
¡°Didn¡¯t you see the mission?¡±
He looked at Mu Qing and asked.
Mu Qing shook her head.
¡°The mysterious power was absorbed before it could reach my sea of consciousness. I didn¡¯t see the mission list you mentioned from start to finish.¡±
II II
Hearing this, he was speechless.
The drinks they drank did not have any negative energy and would not cause their mental power to be actively defended.
Therefore, he suspected that this had nothing to do with Mu Qing¡¯s mental defense. It was purely absorbed.
From this, it could be seen that Mu Qing¡¯s powerful digestive ability was still used on the mental level.
Coupled with her powerful physique, Mu Qing¡¯s defense was impable.
¡°Shall we start?¡± Lin Ran suddenly asked.
Feng Qi nodded and looked at Mu Qing.
¡°Senior, I¡¯ll have to trouble you!¡±
When Mu Qing heard this, she immediately stood up and walked to the center of the bar.
A jade-colored mist erupted from her body, shrouding her entirely. The turbulent airflow swept the items in the bar to the side.
At this moment, Mu Qing¡¯s eyes turned scarlet.
In an instant, it was as if an ancient ferocious beast had descended. The terrifying pressure made the faces of the weak race alliance warriors in the bar turn pale. They looked at Mu Qing with fear.
It was like a prey gazing at a ferocious beast standing at the top of the food chain. It was already terrifying before they even fought.
The pressure on the bloodline level made them feel suffocated.
The scarlet glint in Mu Qing¡¯s eyes swirled. After briefly recalling Feng Qi¡¯s lines, she slowly said.
¡°Let¡¯s y a game. I¡¯ll start a massacre and only a third of you will survive. Now¡ let¡¯s begin!¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qing suddenly clenched her fist and smashed it on the ground.
Boom!
Apanied by a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and the gravel above her head fell with dust.
The instantly generated terrifying power turned the weak race alliance warriors who were closer into a blood mist. The horrifying lethality rmed the weak race alliance warriors at a distance.
The hunt had begun!

Chapter 605 - 605: The Mysterious Boy, Tian Shu (1)

Since he had decided to mimic the owner of the fog, Feng Qi didn¡¯t even spare its lines.
He asked Mu Qing to repeat the words that the owner of the fog had once said and then started a bloody massacre.
Mu Qing was not benevolent to these domain creatures.
Her attacks were decisive. With every punch, several warriors of the weak race alliance would turn into blood mist.
Feng Qi knew Mu Qing¡¯s hatred for domain creatures very well.
This was also the hatred in every scavenger¡¯s bones.
The early scavengers had all experienced the tragic moment of the city being invaded by domain creatures.
Family, friends, everything disappeared at that time. Only a few people could escape from the city covered by the domain field and be homeless scavengers.
This hatred would not fade with time.
The hatred engraved in their bones was remembered by all scavengers.
Every scavenger would pass down this hatred, and Mu Qing was no exception.
1th this hatred, her parents chose to join the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s rune modification experiment when their lives were in danger and contribute theirst strength.
The reason why Mu Qing¡¯s parents were severely injured was that they were attacked by domain transcendent creatures during their migration.
Feng Qi remembered the memory fragments he saw when Mu Qing lost control of her emotions and went crazy.
The young Mu Qing went to settle the procedures for her family¡¯s death certificates alone.
At that time, loneliness and despair fueled the hatred in Mu Qing¡¯s heart. It was also her original intention to follow Wei Wei and continue the rune modification.
He was sure that if Mu Qing had not met him, she would have been driven by hatred for the rest of her life.
None of the domain creatures in the Armageddon bar were innocent.
Perhaps some had their difficulties ining to Star City.
For example, they wanted to seek a chance of survival for the weak races in the future, or they wanted to give the races resources to survive by carrying out missions.
But Feng Qi did not care about these reasons.
He only knew that these ouws¡¯ bare hands were stained with human blood They were like parasites in Star City, constantly destroying the development of human civilization.
Feng Qi had a clear conscience after killing them.
He looked calmly at Mu Qing who was killing the warriors of the weak race alliance.
A momentter, Feng Qi suddenly said.
¡°Sha Wujing, that¡¯s enough!¡±
Hearing his shout, Mu Qing, who was wearing the Sha Wujing mask, suddenly Stopped the massacre. Her fist stopped in front of a weak race alliance warrior wearing a blue ghost mask.
Just as this warrior thought that it was lucky enough to survive, a terrifying fist wind followed closely. ¡±
The instantaneous burst of power sted it into a blood mist.
At this moment, Mu Qing stood still and looked at the terrified weak race warriors. She slowly said.
Congrattions on surviving!¡±
Hearing this, the surrounding domain creatures looked terrified. They had yet to recover from the panic.
They felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Mu Qing.
They had the illusion that they were meant to be food for the creatures in front of them. The suppression of their bloodline almost suffocated them.
With death so close, they curled up in a corner with lingering fears.
Now that they were suddenly told that they had survived, the strong sense of disparity made them almost copse, and their fear of Mu Qing deepened. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
Controlling emotions-he also learned this move from the owner of the fog.
It was not enough to make others afraid. He had to make them feel disparity
Only such a terrifying emotion could leave a deep impression.
At this moment, Mu Qing walked to his side and nodded at him.
Seeing this, Feng Qi turned to look at the frightened bartender. He took out a business card from his pocket and ced it on the bar counter. Then, he pushed it in front of the bartender.
¡°Have your person in charge reach out to me. I¡¯ll be taking charge of Star City in he future¡ By the way, inform him that he can attempt to disregard the game rules I¡¯ve set, but he¡¯ll have to bear the consequences!¡±
With that, he walked towards the iron gate.
Mu Qing and Lin Ran immediately followed.
After walking out of the Armageddon bar, he turned to look at Lu Yue, who was leaning against the wall with his arms around Jian Lan.
¡°Settled. Onto the next!¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yue immediately nodded and followed behind.
Next was the purge of the weak race alliance strongholds in the other areas of Star City.
It was unrealistic to ughter all the strongholds of the weak race alliance in one night as there were dozens of them. There was not enough time.
He wanted to disy his strength first and let the higher-ups behind the weak race alliance know how terrifying he was.
If tonight¡¯s actions did not scare the weak race alliance, he would continue to use this method to greet the higher-ups in the next few days until they took the initiative to contact him.
In the next few days, Feng Qi continued to lead Mu Qing, Lu Yue, and Lin Ran to the strongholds of the weak race alliance.
With the detailed coordinates of the strongholds in hand, it saved him the troublesome steps of searching for them.
His series of actions quickly made the higher-ups uneasy. Soon, a call was made to Feng Qi¡¯s encrypted cell phone.
After hearing the purpose of the visit from the other end of the phone, Feng Qi realized that the n was halfway sessful.
Next, he only needed to follow the owner of the fog¡¯s previous pattern of coercion and temptation.
The higher-ups of the weak race alliance were only doing this for their benefit AS long as Feng Qi controlled their lives and promised benefits, they would obediently listen..
Chapter 606 - 606: The Mysterious Boy, Tian Shu (2)
Chapter 606 - 606: The Mysterious Boy, Tian Shu (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
As long as this step was sessful, Star City¡¯s weak race alliance¡¯s intelligencework would be controlled by him.
After agreeing on a time to meet and talk to the higher-ups of the weak race alliance, Feng Qi made a trip to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
To ensurepliance among the higher-ups of the weaker race alliance, offering benefits was a crucial negotiating strategy.
It was difficult for him to buy spiritual materials with the cash he had. If he used the cash to bribe the higher-ups, they might choose to fight to the death.
After all, they were ouws. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have infiltrated Star City without absolute strength.
Now that the hit was over, he needed to give them something sweet.
Back then, the owner of the fog had chosen to use a portion of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s resources to bribe them. Therefore, he needed to seek the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s help.
For the Scarlet Research Institute, the resources in the underground warehouse were scarce for 1,500 years, so he opted not to go through the trouble.
When he arrived at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he exined the situation to the higher-ups. As he wished, he received the assurance of the higher-ups who expressed their full support.
After receiving the assurance, Feng Qi also expressed that he wanted to go to the underground prison of the Tiger Soul Research Institute sub-base to see Tian Shu.
This request was quickly fulfilled.
With the help of the current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he obtained the highest authority.
Before leaving the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the current director had repeatedly reminded him that Tian Shu was extremely dangerous and often in an uncontroble mental state. Feng Qi must not unlock the special prison for him, or his life might be in danger.
Feng Qi understood.
Tian Shu¡¯s strength was evaluated in the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s description as Extremely Terrifying. He had strength that could not be detected by existing instruments. His exact background was even more mysterious.
He was a human who had been imprisoned in the dungeon since the early days of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He lived for more than 400 years.
The current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute did not know how strong he was. He only knew that Tian Shu came to the Tiger Soul Research Institute voluntarily and chose to imprison himself.
Only the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute knew about him. There was no detailed information recorded in the database.
After hearing the director¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi was even more interested in Tian Shu.
But before meeting Tian Shu, he decided to go back to the academy.
With the Blood Source ability, he was not afraid of Tian Shu¡¯s strength.
However, he was afraid that an ident would happen, so he felt that it was better to be careful. He would be safe if he brought Mu Qing along.
After all, no matter how strong Tian Shu was, he could not be stronger than Mu Qing.
All the sense of danger came from theck of firepower.
Having Mu Qing was akin to both blowing someone up and crushing them to death
8 p.m.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s car was parked at the entrance of Star City Academy.
Feng Qi and Mu Qing, who were waiting there, immediately got into the car and drove towards Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
Before they left, he applied for leave with Bai Fusheng.
Bai Fusheng was supportive of this leave because he had received a call from the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s director in advance and knew that he was coborating with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
An hour¡¯s journeyter, the Tiger Soul Research Institute military vehicle drove into the sub-base.
After getting out of the car, the staff member led them into the sub-base and arrived at the entrance of the underground elevator.
At this moment, the staff member halted, signaling that his authority was restricted, and it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to apany them.
Feng Qi nodded in understanding and entered the elevator with Mu Qing.
When the elevator¡¯s metal door closed, an electronically synthesized voice sounded.
¡°Identification in progress¡ Identification confirmed. You hold the highest authority. You may choose any floor at will.¡±
At this moment, he pressed the button for the 40th floor.
There were a total of 40 floors underground in the Tiger Soul Research Institute sub-base. 30 of them were set as authorization floors. Without the corresponding authority, one could not enter.
These floors generally stored important resources or paper documents. Thest floor was where Tian Shu was imprisoned.
¡°Senior, if he loses controlter, I¡¯ll have to rely on you.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Mu Qing waved her fist confidently and nodded.
The elevator descended very quickly. After a short moment of weightlessness, with a ding, the metal door slowly opened.
What appeared in front of them was a dim corridor.
It could be seen that no one had been here for a long time. The light bulbs in the corridor were old-fashioned and might have a longer lifespan than him.
He guided Mu Qing further into the corridor. Along the way, the lights flickered as if the light bulbs could die at any moment.
The ce was dim and damp. The walls on either side were already covered in moss.
After walking for dozens of feet, they turned a corner and saw a special cage.
More than 400 years had passed, but this cage was still refracting a ck metallic luster under the corridor light. It was not corroded. It was made of special metal produced by the domain field.
He looked through the railing and saw that it was pitch-ck inside.
This surprised Feng Qi.
With his special physique and night vision, he could see even in the night.
Nevertheless, the special cage appeared to devour light, rendering his vision incapable of capturing the scene in the darkness.
As if sensing their arrival, there was amotion in the cage.
The sound of chains grinding against the ground could be heard.
Looking around, Feng Qi came to the rusty switch and pressed it.
Pa!
With the sound of a circuit connection, the light bulb above the cage flickered and lit up.
Inside the cage, a disheveled man came into view. His face was pale, bearing a ck mark on his forehead. Tangled, long ck hair framed his unkempt appearance, and his slender figure suggested he hadn¡¯t eaten in a long while.
The lights lit up, causing him to squint for a moment. Then, he turned to look at them.
Their gazes met. The thin man¡¯s expression was cold and he did not speak.
Looking at the man in the cage, Feng Qi felt that he had seen him somewhere before.
However, he was certain that he had never interacted with him. This was the first time they had met.
As he was thinking, the face of a little boy suddenly appeared in his mind.
He remembered where he had seen him before.
It was not in another timeline but in the future dream.
More urately, he had seen the boy in Mu Yao¡¯s memory fragments.
At that time, he was still young, but the shape and position of the mark on his forehead were the same as the man in front of him.
He was also one of the miracles that Mu Yao had found.
In the memory, Mu Yao found the mysterious little boy and chose to deceive him.
The little boy ate the entire time and ignored Mu Yao.
In the face of the little boy¡¯s indifference, Mu Yao expressed that the little boy tacitly agreed to contribute the rest of his life to the rise of humanity.
The scene was cut off at that moment.
As for the mysterious little boy¡¯s subsequent development, Feng Qi did not know.
He did not expect that the mysterious little boy in his memory would imprison himself in the undergroundboratory of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
He was very puzzled about what had happened.
But at least one thing was certain. Since he was the ¡°miracle¡± chosen by Mu Yao, it proved that he was on the side of humans.
Mu Yao, Ye Huang, the first director of the Scarlet Research Institute, Mu Qing¡ These outstanding people who affected the development of human history all proved that Mu Yao had excellent taste.
She was like a second time traveler who could urately find those figures who affected history.
It could be argued that Mu Yao¡¯s appearance marked a turning point in history, making them a trendsetter.
¡°Tian Shu?¡±
Looking at the thin man in the prison, he asked.
The sound of dragging chains resonated through the air. The man called Tian Shu rose slowly. His emaciated body seemed like mere skin and bones as if his skeletal frame might pierce through his skin at any moment.
Tian Shu, who stood up, did not answer. He looked at Mu Qing, who was standing beside him.
As their gazes met, the scarlet glint in Mu Qing¡¯s eyes flickered as if she had met her destined opponent.
As Mu Qing¡¯s aura rose steadily, a faint purple mist appeared in Tian Shu¡¯s eyes, and his aura changed.
Roar!
At this moment, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared above Mu Qing¡¯s head and let out a roar at Tian Shu, before dissipating.
However, the terrifying pressure produced in an instant made Tian Shu take a few steps back. A surprised expression appeared on his indifferent face.
¡°Scarlet Origin?¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi was surprised.
He could tell that Tian Shu seemed to have some understanding of the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked.
¡°Tian Shu, can we talk?¡±
Faced with the question, Tian Shu turned to look at him. After a short silence, he ignored him and looked at Mu Qing again with surprise in his eyes.
Feng Qi realized that he was ignored. Tian Shu didn¡¯t seem to want to talk to him at all..

Chapter 607: Tian Shu¡¯s Secret (1)

Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base.
In the underground prison.
This was the deepest part of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-basement, and it was also the area with the highest authority. It was dark and humid all year round, and the walls were covered in moss. The air was also filled with the smell of rust.
It could be seen that this ce had not been maintained for a long time.
Many old-fashioned light bulbs had almost reached their lifespan limit, and various metal switches and other items were already covered in rust.
Only the cage was still brand new and not stained with dust.
This was a special cage specially made for Tian Shu. The metal railing went deep into the ground, and the floor in the cage was also made of special metal, connecting with the cage.
It was a 360-degree blockade without any blind spots.
At the same time, 18 chains hung down from the ceiling of the cage. They wrapped around Tian Shu¡¯s neck, limbs, and other parts, restricting his movements.
At this moment, he confirmed that Tian Shu was one of the miracles found in
Mu Yao¡¯s memory.
Feng Qi became even more curious about him.
However, Tian Shu was still unwilling to talk to him. He asked a few times but did not get a response.
However, it could be seen that he was interested in Mu Qing. To be precise, he was interested in the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing¡¯s arm, calling it the
Scarlet Origin.
From this, it could be seen that he might know the detailed background of the scarlet rune crystal.
Realizing that asking directly would not attract Tian Shu¡¯s attention, Feng Qi needed a breakthrough now.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Tian Shu again.
¡°Tian Shu, do you know Mu Yao?¡±
Tian Shu¡¯s expression changed when he heard the name ¡°Mu Yao¡±.
¡°Mu¡ Yao.¡±
He seemed to have not spoken for a long time. These two words seemed to squeeze out of Tian Shu¡¯s throat, and his voice was hoarse.
¡°Yes, Mu Yao!¡± Feng Qi affirmed.
Tian Shu was in a daze for a moment as if he had opened his sealed memories and fell into a daze.
When he came back to his senses, his gaze became sharp.
¡°How¡ do you know Mu Yao? Where did that old woman go?!¡±
Hearing Tian Shu, who was more than 400 years old, call Mu Yao an old woman, Feng Qi felt ashamed.
But thinking about it carefully, in the memory he saw, Tian Shu was still a little kid licking a lollipop, and Mu Yao¡¯s appearance had never changed.
Mu Yao was older than Tian Shu.
Her exact age was aplete mystery. She might have lived for many years.
Tian Shu was not the only one who called Mu Yao an old woman; Wei Wei also called her that.
¡°I don¡¯t know where she went, but we might be able to exchange information¡ Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll always be on the side of the humans.¡±
In the end, he was afraid that Tian Shu would misunderstand, so he exined again.
When Tian Shu heard this, purple light flickered in his eyes. Then, he said softly.
¡°First, tell me where on earth you got her name.¡±
Faced with this question, Feng Qi fell silent.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell Tian Shu his secret.
After all, he was on the sacrifice timeline to test for mistakes. Moreover, Tian Shu was a trustworthy human warrior in his eyes. There was nothing to worry about.
He wasn¡¯t the protagonist of a novel, and there was no need for him to feign weakness to outsmart his adversaries.
Hiding his secrets was a matter of the main timeline. It had nothing to do with him on the sacrifice timeline.
Thinking of this, he looked at Tian Shu and said.
¡°Tian Shu, what I¡¯m about to tell you might be difficult for you to understand, but you have to believe that I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±
¡°Speak.¡± Tian Shu said coldly.
¡°Let me ask you a question first. Do you believe that someone can transmigrate to the future?¡±
Tian Shu was stunned when he heard this. The content was beyond his expectations.
After a short silence, a smile appeared on Tian Shu¡¯s face.
¡°Are you going to tell me that you have the special ability to travel to the future?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
Hearing Feng Qi¡¯s affirmative answer, the smile on Tian Shu¡¯s face disappeared. He became cold again.
¡°Even the old woman can¡¯t do this. Do you think you can?¡±
¡°I know you don¡¯t believe me, but I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±
¡°Alright, show it to me. Let me see you disappear.¡± As he said that, a mocking smile appeared on Tian Shu¡¯s lips.
Mu Qing was speechless.
It was true that he had transmigrated, but how to exin it was still a headache.
Facing Mu Qing, Lin Ran, and the others, he could use his experience to prove it. After all, the future timeline was at the same historical node, and many examples could testify for him.
But Tian Shu waspletely different.
This guy had imprisoned himself for more than 400 years and waspletely isted from the world.
He had no connection with the outside world, nor did he have any interaction with others. He could not produce any evidence to prove that he could transmigrate the timeline.
After all, there was no such person as Tian Shu in the future.
He guessed that Tian Shu¡¯s ending was probably to be imprisoned in this prison until he died of old age, and he would never appear in future history.
Proving it had be a difficult problem.
As for what Tian Shu said, it was even more impossible for him to transmigrate into the future.
He, who was on the sacrifice timeline, had a fixed timeline, so it was impossible to change it.
Facing Tian Shu, who didn¡¯t believe what Feng Qi said, thetter felt a headache.
¡°Regarding this question, you can¡¯t provide any evidence to support it, and I won¡¯t believe it at all¡ The question remains the same. Where did you encounter Mu Yao? You mentioned time travel earlier.. Are you trying to suggest that you saw the old woman in the future?¡±
Chapter 608 - 608: Tian Shu’s Secret (2)
Chapter 608: Tian Shu¡¯s Secret (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°That¡¯s right, I met Mu Yao in the future. It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not.¡± ¡°Interesting. How long will that be in the future?¡± Tian Shu continued to ask. ¡°1,500 years into the future.¡±
Hearing this number, Tian Shu couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°It seems like you only found out the old woman¡¯s name from somewhere. You¡¯ve never seen her before. However, I¡¯m curious about what you want from me bying up with this excuse.¡±
¡°Who says I haven¡¯t seen her before? I witnessed her holding a silver spear, d in tattered armor. Her face remained youthful, frozen at 16 or 17, untouched by the passage of time. In that moment, she stood alone against the relentless tide of beasts, choosing to fight to the death without yielding. Eventually, she sumbed as the sun set.¡±
Hearing this, the smile on Tian Shu¡¯s face froze.
His expression turned serious as he looked straight into Feng Qi¡¯s eyes as if he wanted to see through him and prove that he was lying.
However, Feng Qi¡¯s expression was as usual. His aura was stable and he did not panic at all.
After all, what he said was the truth.
The atmosphere became a little heavy.
Realizing that Tian Shu did not believe what he said, Feng Qi was about to continue exining when he suddenly realized what he should say to prove it. ¡°By the way, I also saw you in Mu Yao¡¯s memory.¡±
¡°You saw me from the old woman¡¯s memory?¡± Tian Shu frowned.
¡°To rify my previous statement, I traveled to a future world 1,500 yearster. By then, human civilization had already crumbled¡ At least, the human civilization in Star City had copsed. I cannot explore other regions, so I¡¯m uncertain, but there¡¯s a high likelihood that they too have met the same fate.¡± ¡°At that time, Mu Yao was already dead. In the end, she turned into a statue and stood in a sinkhole east of Star City forever. She lost her life.¡±
¡°Besides having the ability to transmigrate to the future, I also have a special ability. I call this ability Nightmare. It can help me read other people¡¯s memories.¡±
¡°At that moment, I inadvertently stumbled upon the fallen Mu Yao, who had perished in battle. My Nightmare ability was triggered upon contact with her statue. A plethora of fragmented information flooded into my mind, revealing much about her. I discovered that she had been on a quest for miracles, seeking a chance for humanity¡¯s future survival.¡±
¡°I saw you in one of the fragmented memories.¡±
Hearing this exnation, Tian Shu¡¯s expression changed. He didn¡¯t believe it at the beginning, but he seemed to waver.
¡°Go on. What do you see? If you can tell me what only the old woman and I know, I¡¯ll believe you¡¯re telling the truth.¡±
A smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
¡°I¡¯m not sure if only you and Mu Yao know about that experience, but I¡¯ll describe it in as much detail as possible.¡±
After a moment of silence, recalling the memory fragments that surfaced in his mind, he said in a deep voice.
¡°In that fragmented memory, you were sitting on a bench in the park, swaying your feet and licking a lollipop. At this moment, Mu Yao appeared beside you and circled you a few times. After sized up you for a long time, she came to you with a surprised expression.¡±
¡°She said, ¡®Little brat, I can see you possess an extraordinary constitution. You¡¯re a one-in-a-million martial arts genius. Now, tell me, what is your dream?¡±¡®
¡°At that time, you ignored Mu Yao¡¯s question and only cared about lowering your head and nibbling on the lollipop.¡±
¡°So Mu Yao asked you about your dreams again and said that she could satisfy all your requests, but the premise was that you had to promise her that you would work hard for the rise of the human race for the rest of your life.¡±
¡°You ignored Mu Yao again.¡±
¡°So, Mu Yao eventually ced one hand on her waist and gestured towards your head, implying that she would interpret your silence as tacit consent.¡± ¡°Then, the memories I read were cut off. I don¡¯t know what happened after that.¡±
After hearing Feng Qi¡¯s story, Tian Shu¡¯s face was filled with disbelief and surprise.
This memory left a deep impression on him.
Even after more than 400 years, he still clearly remembered.
It was his meeting with Mu Yao that changed the rest of his life.
He used to be an orphan. His parents werebatants from the Seventh Metropolis Military.
At that time, domain creatures were wreaking havoc, and the human cultivation system was in its infancy. Cultivation techniques had just been born.
The Seventh Metropolis was not situated in the present-day Victory City. Instead, it was part of a collection of cities, forming a cluster with many others. The Seventh Metropolis was just one among them.
At that time, the methods humans used to resist the invasion of domain creatures were rtively primitive. Every time they encountered an invasion, they would pay a heavy price. His parents died in the battle against them.
He was only five years old at that time.
He, who had no parents, was arranged to live in an orphanage in Seventh Metropolis because of his parents¡¯ contributions.
It was also during that period that he met Mu Yao, who had changed his life.
At this moment, Feng Qi urately described the scene at that time. He had no choice but to believe that what Feng Qi said might be true.
Only Mu Yao and he knew about this, and he had never told anyone else.
Thinking of this, Tian Shu looked at Feng Qi with a serious expression and said. ¡°I¡¯ll believe you for the time being. Now, tell me why you came for me.¡± Hearing this, Feng Qi heaved a sigh of relief.
He could choose to be cold and heartless when facing enemies, or even use force to coerce them, but he obviously could not do that when facing Tian Shu.
If Tian Shu were stubborn and refused to believe what he said¡

The situation would be at a stalemate.
¡°Tian Shu, my first question is, why did you choose to imprison yourself in this underground cage?¡±
At this moment, Tian Shu let down his guard. In the face of this question, a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes.
¡°I had to.¡±
¡°Specifically, what I want is not an answer, but the process and details. Any information you provide me might help me find a chance of survival for human civilization.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°As I mentioned earlier, I have the ability to transmigrate to the future, allowing me to discern which events or historical junctures have led to the decline of human civilization. By altering these pivotal moments, I believe I can salvage the future of human civilization. Hence, I am in urgent need of more information.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Hearing this, Tian Shu¡¯s expression wasplicated. He was both excited and in disbelief.
After waiting for a long time, he continued.
¡°I opted to imprison myself because the power I acquired is uncontroble. I frequently enter a frenzied state, losing my sanity, and in this state, I attack everything nearby indiscriminately. It poses a severe threat to humans. If I¡¯m not restrained while still conscious, the human armed forces won¡¯t be sufficient to contain me once I lose control.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of Mu Qing.
The same thing happened to Mu Qing.
However, the difference was that Mu Qing¡¯s emotions were rtively controble, and she would consciously restrain them, especially when there were other humans around her. She would restrain her loss of control.
From a historical point of view, Mu Qing¡¯s state did not always exist.
It would gradually disappear with her fusion with the scarlet rune crystal and eventually disappear.
This was also mentioned in the diary left behind by Mu Qing.
From this point of view, it was obvious that Tian Shu¡¯s situation was more dangerous. It was understandable that he chose to imprison himself.
At that time, human cultivation was still in the early stages of development. They could not fight against a powerhouse like Tian Shu. If he lost control, it would be a disaster.
All of this was considered from the perspective of human development.
However, he still had many doubts in his heart. Thinking of this, he continued to ask.
¡°Why did you lose control? Is it because there¡¯s a problem with the power Mu Yao gave you?¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with the old woman. Everything was a result of my reckless attempts. The old woman gave me a long lifespan and divine patterns. These powers arepletely within my control.¡±
¡°Divine patterns?¡±
Tian Shu slowly turned around and revealed his back.
A golden pattern that snaked up to his neck was tattooed on the center of his back.
These patterns were magical. They seemed to have a life of their own as they twisted and changed with Tian Shu¡¯s breathing. Sometimes, they looked like ferocious beasts, and sometimes, they looked like birds.
Turning around again, Tian Shu said in a deep voice.
¡°This is the divine pattern. It allows me to cultivate any cultivation technique dozens of times faster than ordinary people. It can also help me simte the innate power of any domain creature.¡±
¡°For example, as long as I taste the blood of the Blood Soul Tiger, my divine patterns will automatically analyze the mysteries within, allowing my body to undergo some changes and obtain the strength and ability traits of the Blood Soul Tiger!¡±
As he spoke, Tian Shu slowly raised his right arm.
His right arm kept growing fur, and his nails became sharp. In the end, they turned into a huge tiger palm.
¡°Divine patterns allow me to adapt to any harsh conditions and fight. There are no environmental disadvantages. As long as I keep adapting to the power of other species, I can master arge number of practical abilities.¡±
¡°Wow, that¡¯s powerful!¡± Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but exim.
Compared to his ability to plunder talents in the main timeline, Tian Shu¡¯s ability was still far inferior.
However, from the perspective of ordinary cultivators, such an ability could be said to be heaven-defying.
¡°Since there¡¯s nothing wrong with the ability Mu Yao gave you, why did you lose control and go crazy? What¡¯s with the random experiment you mentioned?¡±
Tian Shu looked like he was reminiscing.
After a short recollection, he slowly said.
¡°My divine patterns are not without limits. The old woman has reminded me many times about this, but to pursue stronger power, I want to fuse a drop of the Pir Gods¡¯ blood to pry into the power of the God realm.¡±
¡°It was also this attempt that made mepletely obsessed.¡±
¡°Tell me in detail. Try to be as specific as possible.¡±
Tian Shu immediately nodded and recounted his experience.
¡°I¡¯ve been by the old woman¡¯s side since I was young. She watched me grow up. In the days I¡¯ve been with her, I¡¯ve learned a lot.¡±
¡°She¡¯s an infectious person. On the surface, she may appear heartless and carefree, but deep within, she harbors an unyielding determination that remains steadfast even if mountains crumble and seas part.¡±
¡°She taught me courage, sacrifice, and calmness in the face of despair. She could be considered my mentor in life. During that period, the old woman brought me around the world. From time to time, she would abandon me in a city and let me rely on myself for a while before disappearing.¡±
¡°It could be a few days or a few months. The longest time was two years. That time, I almost thought that I had been forgotten by the old woman.¡±
¡°My fate took a second turn when I was 16.¡±
¡°At the time, the old woman told me that I could hold my own and was prepared to take me to a brand-new ce. But she also said that if I went there, I might nevere back.¡±
¡°At the time, I was very puzzled and asked if I would never see her again.¡±
¡°She simply smiled and mentioned that there might be a chance for us to meet again, but we also might never cross paths once more.¡±
¡°I inquired whether that ce held significance and if I needed to go there.¡±
¡°She told me that that ce is humanity¡¯s first line of defense. It¡¯s vital to the entire human civilization, and I already have the strength to protect it. It¡¯s time for me to take responsibility.¡±
¡°But the old woman didn¡¯t force me. She only said that if I weren¡¯t willing, she had to leave and couldn¡¯t keep me by her side anymore.¡±
¡°At that time, I struggled for a long time, but I understood that the old woman had more important things to do. She seemed to be plotting the future of humanity. Even if I could follow her, I would only be a burden. Therefore, I finally agreed to the old woman¡¯s decision and headed for the mysterious first line of defense.¡±
¡°By the way, do you know the Path to Heaven?¡± Tian Shu suddenly asked.
When he heard Tian Shu mention the human defense line, the first thing he thought of was the Path to Heaven.
When he heard Tian Shu say the words ¡°Path to Heaven¡±, he knew that his guess was right. He immediately asked.
¡°The first line of defense you¡¯re talking about is the Path to Heaven?¡±
¡°That¡¯s where I came from!¡± Tian Shu nodded without hesitation..
Chapter 610 - 610: The Truth of the Path to Heaven (1)
Chapter 610: The Truth of the Path to Heaven (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Qi first learned about the Path to Heaven from Lu Yue.
However, he still did not know where the Path to Heaven was or what kind of ce it was.
However, through the exploration of many timelines, he had a rough guess.
The people blocking the way that Fog was talking about might be the human experts who had disappeared in history. The route to stop the invasion of the domain creatures was the Path to Heaven.
However, the current information could not provide an urate exnation as to whether these guesses were the answer.
Now that he learned that Tian Shu had gone to the Path to Heaven and returned from it, he suddenly realized that he might be able to understand the truth of the Path to Heaven from him.
With anticipation and doubt, he looked straight at Tian Shu and asked.
¡°Tian Shu, what exactly is the Path to Heaven? Can you tell me in detail?¡±
Tian Shu nodded without hesitation.
¡°It¡¯s a pathway that links to another world, specifically the domain world. To be more precise, it¡¯s not just one path, but a multitude of paths.¡±
¡°If the lifeforms from the domain world wish to enter our human world, they must opt to either open a new path or follow an existing one. Only through these means can they ess our world.¡±
¡°The other Heavenly Soldiers and I act as guardians on this pathway. We prevent all the forces from the domain world that seek to destroy human civilization from descending into our world. Hence, the Path to Heaven is also known as the first line of defense. We roam along the constantly opening connecting paths, eliminating the majority of domain forces attempting to invade the human world.¡±
Hearing Tian Shu¡¯s answer, Feng Qi finally knew that his guess was right.
However, he still had many doubts.
Thinking of this, he continued to ask.
¡°But I don¡¯t understand. With the human world already under such extensive invasion, why continue to focus solely on halting the domain factions? Why not return and coborate to rebuild human civilization, united against the domain invasion threatening various cities?¡±
Tian Shu couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.
¡°You¡¯re oversimplifying things. The Path to Heaven is the origin of the domain factions¡¯ invasion of the human world. If we don¡¯t obstruct the source, more domain factions will infiltrate our world. The human world is vast, and dealing with the issue at its roots is more efficient than wandering and hunting all over. Without the relentless battles fought by the Heavenly Soldiers, the human world would be in a much worse state than it is now.¡±
Tian Shu¡¯s exnation solved a problem that had troubled Feng Qi for a long time.
He had thought about it back then.
If the people blocking the Path to Heaven were humans, why didn¡¯t they choose to return to the human world?
They all had the strength to rival domain factions. With their help, they would speed up the construction process of human civilization.
But now that he thought about it, his way of thinking was too simple.
Perhaps the Heavenly Soldiers have halted 80%, or even 90%, or even more of the invading forces. If they hadn¡¯t intervened, the catastrophe that humanity would have faced could only be imagined.
For example, the Fog Race where the owner of the fog was from.
If not for the Heavenly Soldiers, the entire Fog Race would have descended on the human world and brought about destructive power.
The owner of the fog would be even more terrifying if it wasn¡¯t seriously injured at the beginning and had a group of powerful nsmen.
He now understood what Tian Shu meant.
The Path to Heaven was like a sieve. Although there would still be mistakes during the screening process, it was the least harmful method to human civilization.
Without these Heavenly Soldiers, perhaps there would not even be a human defense line in the five main cities.
¡°We¡¯ve tried our best to stop the domain factions from invading, but there will still be domain factions who will open a brand new path in ces we haven¡¯t noticed and enter the human world.¡±
At this point, Tian Shu could not help but sigh.
¡°We have also thought of a way to deal with this. In the end, we made a decision. All the descendants who grew up on the Path to Heaven will be sent back to the human world when they reach the age of 16. They will help humans resist the domain creatures. Then, when they are strong enough, they will return to be Heavenly Soldiers.¡±
¡°Lu Yue?¡± Mu Qing eximed softly.
Feng Qi nodded.
¡°That¡¯s correct. It seems Lu Yue is affiliated with the Path to Heaven. Even though he wasn¡¯t born there, he grew up on the Path to Heaven. While he might appear formidable to us, it¡¯s impractical tobat the ruthless domain factions on the perilous Path to Heaven. Being sent back to the human world can be viewed as a form of growth and training, but ultimately, his destiny remains tied to the Path to Heaven.¡±
¡°You¡¯re right. When they have enough strength, the old woman will find them and bring them back to the Path to Heaven.¡± Tian Shu nodded.
¡°Can¡¯t you go by yourself?¡±
¡°It¡¯s easy toe back, but it¡¯s difficult to go to the Path to Heaven. Only the old woman can travel freely¡ However, from what you say, you seem to have a friend from the Path to Heaven, and he didn¡¯t tell you the truth.¡±
¡°Yes, but he¡¯s just a riddler. He never talks to me much about the Path to Heaven.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not his fault. Sending any information about the Path to Heaven to the human world is prohibited. It¡¯s the primary rule for every child born on the Path to Heaven or raised there to eventually head to the human world.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he nodded.
¡°I roughly understand what¡¯s going on. They should be afraid that the news of the Path to Heaven will be known by the outside world, causing a huge panic. If they know that the challenges facing humans are far greater than they think, it might cause arge number of humans to be pessimistic about the future and give up on themselves..¡±

¡°After all, hope serves as the motivation for progress. Being in darkness is not synonymous with despair. True despair lies in the awareness that you are in darkness.¡±
Hearing this, Tian Shu looked surprised.
¡°Just as you said, this is the reason why we set this rule back then.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled instead.
After exploring numerous timelines, his worldview had been overturned multiple times. He realized that the world as he perceived it was not the truth at all. The invisible dark side concealed an abundance of darkness and despair.
Fortunately, he also discovered that there were hidden human forces that had yet to give up and were still working hard to find a chance of survival for humanity¡¯s future.
Now that he knew that there was still a group of human experts on the Path to Heaven, he was relieved.
This path of salvation was apanied by darkness and light. It was notplete darkness.
There were still many hiddenpanions.
Perhaps they were in different ces, but they did not give up on human civilization, let alone choose topromise with fate.
¡°Tian Shu, continue telling us about why you lost control.¡±
Tian Shu nodded and continued.
¡°At that time, I was taken to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao. The Path to Heaven was like a spider web, and the various routes were intertwined. I was assigned to guard the main Route 32 and was in charge of patrolling the nearby branch routes.¡±
¡°I only truly understand the brutality of the battles there when I journey to the Path to Heaven.¡±
¡°Among the domain forces that infiltrated the Path to Heaven, there were races that staked the lives of their entire kind to enter the human world, seeking hope for their future. They could be described as extremely relentless in their quest to ovee the challenges. Each battle was a struggle for life and death.¡±
¡°During that period, my teammates changed batch after batch. If I didn¡¯t have the enhancement of the divine patterns, I think I would have died in battle there. There would always be new teammates sent to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao to be ourrades.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve also grown rapidly in constant battles. The divine patterns have absorbed and analyzed the blood of arge number of domain creatures, allowing me to obtain many powerful abilities. These simtion abilities are an important power for me to resist domain creatures.¡±
At this point, Tian Shu looked like he was reminiscing.
After a long silence, he continued.
¡°When I was at my loneliest, I was the only one guarding Route 32. All my otherrades died in battle¡ Perhaps the old woman knew that I could guard a main road and stopped transporting soldiers to Route 32.¡±
¡°At that time, I would often wander around the newly established route nearby. For nearly 30 years, I was alone. During that period, I was extremely lonely. I can¡¯t remember how many domain creatures I¡¯ve killed so far.¡±
¡°During the days of guarding Route 32, it was normal for me to be severely injured. However, I still relied on the powerful recovery ability given by the divine patterns to survive time and time again.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi analyzed something.
The Path to Heaven seemed to be huge. The Heavenly Soldiers were mainly guarding the main road. At the same time, they were in charge of patrolling and checking the nearby side roads.
¡°Will the constant killing make you confused?¡± he asked curiously.
¡°As long as you have a steadfast goal, you won¡¯t feel adrift. Nheless, loneliness is a tangible presence. During the most tedious moments, I even engaged in conversations with domain creatures.¡±
¡°And then?¡± Feng Qi asked.
¡°Of course, I killed them. I¡¯m not going to let them harm human civilization.¡±
II II
Mu Qing was speechless.
¡°In that case, although you were on the Path to Heaven, you had little contact with the other Heavenly Soldiers?¡±
Tian Shu nodded.
¡°There¡¯s a tform on the Path to Heaven, the gathering point of the Heavenly Soldiers. Severely injured warriors are transported there for treatment. Every guardian on the main path gets the asional opportunity to rest and recover there, but I¡¯m an exception.¡±
¡°That old woman is a b*tch. She asked me to guard Route 32 alone. No one reced me and I can¡¯t leave at all!¡±
Looking at the resentful Tian Shu, Feng Qi suddenly understood why he had such deep resentment towards Mu Yao.
Previously, he was still thinking that since Tian Shu was brought up by Mu Yao, he should have a close rtionship with Mu Yao. It was not too much to treat him as family.
From the looks of it, Tian Shu had gotten in too deep and became a glorious human worker.
It was no wonder that he kept mentioning ¡°old woman¡± when he described Mu Yao.
¡°Iprehend the old woman¡¯s thoughts. Just as she mentioned before guiding me to Route 32,1 already possess thebat prowess to lead. It¡¯s time for me to shoulder the responsibility.¡±
¡°The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.¡± Feng Qi nodded.
¡°But that doesn¡¯t stop me from hating her!¡±
¡°Maybe you will miss her too.¡± Mu Qing suddenly interrupted.
¡°No, I just want to punch her in the face.¡± Tian Shu denied it immediately.
After chatting for a while, the atmosphere eased a lot and the unfamiliarity faded.
Tian Shu continued to recount his experience.
¡°When I was guarding Route 32,1 was under immense pressure, so I yearned for powerful strength. During that period, I kept absorbing and analyzing the blood of domain creatures to obtain abilities to be stronger.¡±
¡°Then, during a significant battle, I vanquished a domain race. While searching for relics afterward, I discovered a drop of blood preserved in a jade box. It turned out to be a drop of the Pir Gods¡¯ blood. I could sense immense energy and boundless knowledge of rules within that droplet. Its power closely resembled the description of the Pir Gods¡¯ abilities given by the old woman..¡±

¡°The old woman once reminded me that there¡¯s a limit to the abilities given by the divine patterns. Don¡¯t try to analyze the blood of a terrifying creature that makes me palpitate. The palpitation is the feedback given by the divine patterns, proving that I can¡¯t digest it.¡±
¡°But facing this drop of blood that contains terrifying power, I¡¯m still tempted.¡±
¡°For this, I struggled for some time, but in the end, my desire for power overcame the fear in my heart. I chose to devour that drop of blood.¡±
¡°When the Pir Gods¡¯ blood entered my body, my blood seemed to be ignited by mes and became extremely hot¡ At that time, I even thought that I was going to die.¡±
¡°Throughout this period, an extensive amount of knowledge about the world¡¯s rules was imnted into my mind. I couldn¡¯tprehend these distorted symbols and information at all. The influx continued to increase, and eventually, I lost consciousness.¡±
¡°When I woke up, I realized that my strength had increased greatly, and my perception of the outside world had be especially clear. I could even feel the subtle changes in the outside world when I breathed.¡±
¡°At that moment, I believed I had seeded. It was only when I unexpectedly plunged into a frenzied state that I realized it wasn¡¯t sess but failure. The cost was falling into madness intermittently, bing entirely uncontroble.¡±
¡°Fortunately, I was the only one on Route 32 during that period. I didn¡¯t have to worry about affecting myrades.¡±
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, are you talking about losing control of your emotions or other symptoms?¡± Mu Qing asked curiously.
¡°I didn¡¯t lose control of my emotions. I lost consciousness in an instant and my body entered an instinctive bloodthirsty state. Perhaps this is also rted to my fusing with arge number of domain creature abilities. In short, I couldn¡¯t control my actions at that time.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but nce at Mu Qing.
Inparison, Mu Qing only lost control of her emotions. It waspletely different from the unconscious state that Tian Shu said.
Tian Shu continued to exin.
¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re very curious why I, who was supposed to guard Route 32, returned to the human world.¡±
¡°Everything was an ident. During the years I guarded Route 32,1 never let any domain creature pass. All the domain creatures that entered Route 32 paved a path of bones in my ughter.¡±
At this point, Tian Shu paused for a moment and continued.
¡°It wasn¡¯t until I faced an exceptionally formidable domain race that things changed. They possessed immense power, and dealing with them proved to be incredibly challenging. After a grueling battle, I managed to eliminate the majority of the race¡¯s members. However, a few domain creatures, taking advantage of the chaos, evaded my interception and dashed to the end of Route 32.¡±
¡°This was the first time I¡¯ve made a mistake. I was so anxious that I decisively chased after them. I thought that if I couldn¡¯t catch up in the end, it would be fine. I could only leave them to the warriors of the human world.¡±
¡°But at that time, I lost control and chased after the remaining domain creatures through the world barrier and returned to the human world.¡±
¡°They were all dead, but I couldn¡¯t go back.¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be looking for Mu Yao? She could have sent you back to the Path to Heaven and even helped you resolve the hidden danger in your body.¡±
Feng Qi immediately asked.
¡°I¡¯ve searched for her, but I couldn¡¯t find her at all. She never came to seek me out.¡±
¡°I¡¯m undoubtedly a ticking time bomb if I remain in the human world, especially within a city. If I lose control, I would pose a threat that the humans of that time couldn¡¯t possibly withstand.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi finally understood the detailed reason why Tian Shu chose to seal himself.
Just as Tian Shu had said at the beginning, he had no choice.
However, at this moment, he still had many questions that he needed Tian Shu to answer for him..
Chapter 613 - 613: Dispelling Questions (1)
Chapter 613: Dispelling Questions (1)
Trantor: As Studios , Editor: As Studios
Through Tian Shu¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi had a detailed understanding of the reason why he chose to seal himself in the underground prison.
Back then, when Tian Shu lost control and pursued the domain creatures, inadvertently returning to the human world, he could not return to the Path to Heaven like Mu Yao.
At this moment, he was undoubtedly a time bomb.
He could lose control at any moment. When that happened, he had nomand over his actions whatsoever.
More importantly, the time it took to lose control waspletely unknown.
It might only be for a few hours, or even a few days. It might not be safe anywhere.
He might even kill his way into a human city.
This would be a terrifying disaster for the major cities that had just established their cultivation systems.
Faced with such a situation, Tian Shu, who could not find Mu Yao, could only choose to seal himself.
This was the only way to resolve the series of crises that destroyed human civilization.
After understanding the reason, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask.
Uncle Tian Shu, I can understand why you chose to seal yourself, but can the metal used to make this prison withstand the power when you lose control? Could humans have the ability to make such a special metal back then?¡±
As he spoke, Feng Qi turned his gaze to the metal railing.
¡°The origin of this special metal is not simple. It¡¯s a precious treasure I obtained when I was guarding Route 32. Not only can it absorb power but it also has the characteristics of sealing power.¡±
At this point, Tian Shu looked at Feng Qi and said.
You can try to touch it. You¡¯ll understand what I mean.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he did not hesitate and immediately took a few steps forward, reaching out to touch the metal railing
Immediately, he felt a coldness surge in his heart. The Purple Soul branded on his bones was automatically activated and began to resist the invasion of this power with a sealing effect.
Other than this metal that seals the active Spiritual Qi, the handcuffs and leg cuffs on my body are made of primordial ck iron. They are extremely hard.¡± As he spoke, Tian Shu stretched out his hands, revealing the ck metal on the handcuffs.
As he sized up it, Feng Qi was surprised to find that this metal seemed familiar. After careful thought, he felt that this metal seemed to be simr to the metal tablet outside the Star City Shelter.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately asked.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, I know that you obtained many precious relics when you were guarding the Path to Heaven, such as these special metals. But I¡¯m puzzled about how you brought them back to the human world. You couldn¡¯t have brought these treasures with you when you lost control, right?¡±
A smile appeared on Tian Shu¡¯s face. He turned around and revealed the divine patterns on his back again.
As the divine patterns flickered, a spatial ck hole slowly appeared.
A palm-sized piece of ck iron fell from the spatial ck hole andnded on the ground with a loud bang.
¡°The divine patterns that the old woman gave me also serve a special function. They can create a small space that I carry with me to store various items Moreover, the size of the space will gradually expand as the divine rune grows. After I returned to the human world, I provided arge number of treasures to the Star City Military for their use.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Feng Qi was stunned.
He had only heard of spatial abilities from the narrator, but he had never seen them before.
He did not expect Tian Shu to have such an ability.
This exined why Tian Shu could bring back these precious metals when he lost control.
It seemed that when Star City built the shelter in the future, they would use the special metals given by Tian Shu.
The strength of this special metal was obvious.
It was of limited use against ckie, but it was extremely effective against domain creatures.
A type of metal with sealing power and another type binding the body. This cage was the sealing ground that Tian Shu had constructed for himself. It could even be described as a coffin.
He had been waiting for Mu Yao.
If Mu Yao did not appear in the end, he would probably die here.
From a historical point of view, this might be Tian Shu¡¯s oue.
While chatting, Tian Shu continued to talk about the relevant information about the Path to Heaven.
In Tian Shu¡¯s perspective, all the Heavenly Soldiers were akin to border guards They protected the main pathways that could lead to the human world and thwarted the majority of domain forces attempting to invade the human world. Fog had mentioned it in the previous timeline.
Before it led its nsmen to open a path to the human world, it had encountered the obstruction of the Heavenly Soldiers. In the end, it was the only one who survived.
But judging from the time frame, Fog didn¡¯t meet Tian Shu.
After all, Tian Shu had sealed himself for more than 400 years. During this period, he did not return to the Path to Heaven, let alone interact with the outside world.
From this, it could be seen that there were many human experts on the Path to Heaven.
However, Tian Shu could not describe how many human experts there were on the Path to Heaven.
He was only in charge of guarding Route 32 and the surrounding roads. He had very little contact with the Heavenly Soldiers on the other main roads.
In thest 30 years, he was alone and did note into contact with any other humans.
Therefore, he did not know much about the subsequent construction of the Path to Heaven.
As for why the Heavenly Soldiers guarding the border of the two worlds did not choose to return to build the human world, Feng Qi had a clear answer through Tian Shu¡¯s exnation.
The first reason was that the Heavenly Soldiers were unaware of the various dangers facing human civilization.
For instance, from Tian Shu¡¯s viewpoint, the challenges confronting human civilization were gradually diminishing, and the development of major cities was on the right track. If they persisted for a certain period and weathered the most challenging times, humans could gradually reverse the tide in the confrontation with the domain forces..

The other Heavenly Soldiers had the same thoughts as Tian Shu.
They, who were fighting on the first line of defense, did not know that the challenges behind them were far more difficult than they had imagined.
They even believed that by safeguarding the Path to Heaven effectively, the advantage of humans would gradually expand.
The second reason was that if the Heavenly Soldiers returned to the human world, the level of disaster facing human civilization would increase greatly.
This problem was easy to understand.
The Heavenly Soldiers guarded the first line of defense and only needed to kill the domain factions who dared to pass.
However, once they chose to return to the human world and build a human civilization with all of humanity, the challenges they faced would increase greatly.
The appearance of arge number of domain factions was a disaster for ordinary people.
The human world was farrger than the Path to Heaven. The workload of the soldiers would also increase greatly. Other than dispersing the domain fields, they also had to protect the human cities from the attacks of domain creatures.
The word ¡®guarding¡¯ seemed simple, but the price to pay was not as easy as he had imagined.
After all, the number of Heavenly Soldiers was limited. Choosing to leave the main battlefield in the human world was undoubtedly a disaster for all of humanity.
They chose to guard the Path to Heaven, although there would still be domain factions who would challenge them.
The first type was like the owner of the fog. Even if they cleared the obstacle, their vitality would be greatly damaged, and their nsmen would suffer heavy losses.
The second type was like Little Cripple, who was lucky enough to choose a hidden path and sessfully led the entire nsmen through.
However, there were only a few domain factions that could survive.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Soldiers, these domain forces that had crossed the Path to Heaven were difficult challenges to human civilization, but they believed that the human warriors at the back would solve these problems.
It was also to relieve the pressure in this aspect. Children who grew up on the Path to Heaven would be sent back to the human world to join the front line of the supply area. They would be trained against domain factions before finally returning to the Path to Heaven.
While these children were training, they were also helping the Heavenly Soldiers gather information about the human world.
For example, Lu Yue.
As a descendant of the Lu family¡¯s Sword Dao, he had been brought to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao.
He, who was about to reach adulthood, was sent back to the human world.
ording to Lu Yue¡¯s normal growth trajectory, he would eventually join the frontline of the supply area and be a frontline warrior. Then, he would return to the Path to Heaven after his training waspleted.
During the training, he could bring a lot of information about the human world to the Path to Heaven.
However, this information did not have any relevant information about the hidden domain factions.
After all, ordinary frontline warriors could note into contact with relevant information in this aspect.
If the Heavenly Soldiers knew that the various cities had long been corroded by the domain factions, they would not continue to guard the front line and would retreat a portion of their strength.
In summary, the various human factions did not know of the existence of the Path to Heaven.
However, the Heavenly Soldiers could only see the development of human civilization, but they could not see the turbulence in the dark.
In reality, if Feng Qi didn¡¯t possess the ability to transmigrate through timelines, he wouldn¡¯t have realized that beneath the facade of the steady development of major cities, there lurked a considerable number of dark aspects.
Therefore, he could understand why the Heavenly Soldiers did not retreat to defend the human world.
At the thought of this, Feng Qi looked up at Tian Shu, who was bound by chains in the prison, and asked curiously.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, how much do you know about Mu Yao?¡±
Tian Shu shook his head helplessly.
¡°My understanding of that old woman is very limited. I¡¯ve inquired about her background more than once, but every time, she would just smile and ruffle my head yfully, dering herself a super invincible beauty!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know how many years she has lived, but she¡¯s like a naive little girl to me!¡±
¡°Ah Qi, if we follow the normal timeline, I will have contact with Mu Yao in the future, right?¡± Mu Qing asked curiously.
Feng Qi immediately nodded.
¡°ording to the normal timeline, you will form the Dawnbat team in the future and eventually develop into the Dawn army. During this period, Mu Yao will join the Dawn army to assist you in its development.¡±
¡°After you die, Mu Yao will be the second generation leader of the Dawn army. She will continue tomand the Dawn Army to fight against various forces. In the end, when the Dawn army is defeated, she will disappear and be a historical mystery.¡±
When Mu Qing heard this, she nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Tian Shu added.
¡°The behavior you described aligns perfectly with the old woman¡¯s personality. I¡¯m certain that she must have felt a sense of reluctance before leaving, but she undoubtedly wouldn¡¯t have hesitated. Her mindset has always been oriented toward the well-being of all mankind. She wouldn¡¯t choose to fight to the death over a momentary setback.¡±
¡°Failure is the norm in the old woman¡¯s eyes. It doesn¡¯t affect her determination at all. She will still search for new miracles and continue to fight for the continuation of human civilization.¡±
Hearing Tian Shu¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi nodded.
¡°She¡¯s strange, indeed¡ Oh right, Uncle Tian Shu, you seem to know something about the rune crystal on Mu Qing?¡±
The origin of the scarlet crystal was still a mystery.
However, Feng Qi could roughly guess that the original owner of the scarlet rune crystal must be an extremely powerful and terrifying creature.
He felt that the blurry figure that suddenly appeared every time Mu Qing entered abat state might be the original owner of the scarlet rune crystal.
Faced with his question, Tian Shu looked at Mu Qing with a nostalgic expression.
After a short silence, he slowly said.
¡°I don¡¯t know much about this Scarlet Origin, but I do know that the old woman ces great value on it. When I was with her, I often saw her fiddling with it and studying it.¡±
¡°She attempted to embed the Scarlet Origin into the body of a domain creature. Eventually, the domain creature became instantly formidable, itsbat strength increasing by a hundredfold. However, it couldn¡¯t ultimately control the power of the Scarlet Origin and ended up exploding.¡±
¡°At that time, I was still young. I asked the old woman if she could give me this beautiful gem.¡±
¡°The old woman said that this gem is not something I can control at all. Even if she gave it to me, I won¡¯t be able to use it. If I forcefully embed it, I¡¯ll die instantly. Its owner hasn¡¯t appeared yet.¡±
¡°From that point on, I harbored a certain fear of the Scarlet Origin until one day, I realized it had vanished. It puzzled me at the time. The old woman typically always had the Scarlet Origin with her. Suddenly, she didn¡¯t bring it out to toy with for a few days. It didn¡¯t add up.¡±
¡°In response to my questions, the old woman said that the power of the Scarlet Origin is not something humans can control at this stage. There¡¯s only one way to use the Scarlet Origin, and that¡¯s to destroy its power structure and only preserve the growth trait.¡±
¡°It¡¯s equivalent to giving up the power provided by the Scarlet Origin and leaving only the ability trait. Only this method can allow humans to bear the Scarlet Origin and use its traits to grow quickly.¡±
¡°She said that she didn¡¯t have time to analyze the structure of the Scarlet Origin at all, so she had been looking for a miracle to solve this problem. She also said that she had recently found a miracle and sponsored him to build aboratory. She just had to wait for the day the miracle bloomed.¡±
¡°In short, the old woman discovered someone who could assist her in deciphering the Scarlet Origin, and she resumed her hands-off approach. As for whether the individual chosen by the old woman sessfully unraveled the power of the Scarlet Origin and left behind any remnants, I don¡¯t know¡ but judging by appearances, it seems he may have seeded.¡±
With that, Tian Shu looked at Mu Qing again.
Hearing this, Feng Qi shook his head.
¡°He failed, but he nurtured an even more outstanding sessor. Her name was Wei Wei. She was the one whopleted the cracking of the Scarlet Origin¡¯s power and sessfully embedded the Scarlet Origin in Mu Qing¡¯s body.¡±
¡°I see.¡± Tian Shu nodded and continued.
¡°Although I don¡¯t know the source of the Scarlet Origin, I guess that it must havee from a domain lifeform with extremely terrifying strength. It¡¯s very likely to be the origin power of the Pir Gods. Otherwise, the old woman wouldn¡¯t have taken it so seriously.¡±
¡°In your ount, the fact that the old woman will assist Mu Qing in her growth in the future indicates that she has been keeping a close eye on the aftermath of the Scarlet Origin. Mu Qing is considered a miracle in the eyes of the old woman, possessing an immensely significant miraculous power.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, I still failed in the end.¡± Mu Qing said regretfully.
¡°Senior, this timeline has just begun.¡±
Hearing Feng Qi¡¯s reminder, Mu Qing immediately stuck out her tongue and said.
¡°I¡¯m sorry for the pessimism.¡±
Feng Qi looked at Tian Shu and continued to ask.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, I have another question.. Do you know of a thin blue-skinned domain creature?¡±
Chapter 615 - 615: New Clue, Heavy Fog (1)
Chapter 615: New Clue, Heavy Fog (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Through Tian Shu¡¯s description, Feng Qi became even more curious about Mu Yao.
Her origins were like a fog.
Through the information obtained from many timelines, he realized that Mu Yao often appeared at various historical key points.
From the original leader of the scavengers, Ye Huang, to the first director of the Scarlet Research Institute, to Wei Wei¡ and now Tian Shu and the others. Many important figures in history had Mu Yao behind them.
As the timeline extended, Mu Qing would also interact with Mu Yao in the future.
From this, it could be seen that the ¡°miracle¡± that Mu Yao mentioned might be referring to this group of geniuses who had a huge impact on the development of human civilization.
Mu Yao was like a ball of fog. He still did not know her true origins.
However, he had a few rough guesses about Mu Yao¡¯s ns.
He sensed that the miracle Mu Yao referred to pertained to individuals with exceptional abilities in specific areas, yet these talents all shared a w¡ªinsufficient lifespan.
To let these special talents better promote the development of human civilization, Mu Yao gave each ¡°miracle¡± a long lifespan or other special abilities.
However, in essence, these special abilities were only supportive. Only by being outstanding could one be considered a miracle.
Otherwise, anyone could be a miracle and Mu Yao wouldn¡¯t have worked so hard to find one.
This could also be confirmed by intelligence from multiple timelines.
However, he was very curious about one thing.
The Heavenly Soldiers on the Path to Heaven did not know the dark side of human civilization, but Mu Yao, who had always wandered in history, should know about it.
The covert forces within the domain that were embedded in human society posed a grave threat to the progress of human civilization.
If they were not eradicated, even if the front-line defense was unbreakable internal problems would gradually cause human civilization to copse. However, the problem was that Mu Yao had never taken action in this aspect ording to the current intelligence.
Thinking about it carefully, he felt that it might not be that there was no such thing, but that he had not discovered it.
In the subsequent development of history, the Dawn army¡¯s series of massacres might have been targeted at hidden forces in certain fields. Mu Yao was also involved.
But a new problem arose.
With Mu Yao¡¯s strength, it should be very easy for her to resist the hidden domain factions.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t know exactly how strong she was, but he had seen Mu Yao¡¯s memories of her fighting endless domain creatures alone.
At that time, Mu Yao was invincible.
Even though there were endless enemies, she guarded thest line of defense alone with her spear. Wherever the silver spear pointed at was like the scythe of the god of death, taking the lives of arge number of domain creatures.
There was nock of terrifying domain creatures that made his heart palpitate. From this, it could be seen how powerful Mu Yao was.
Regrettably, as the sun descended and vanished under the ominous influence of the blood moon, the domain fields enveloped the entire human world. It was also at that moment when Mu Yao transformed into a statue.
From the analysis of this scene, Mu Yao¡¯sbat strength was far superior to the hidden domain factions.
Perhaps only the Pir Gods mentioned by Fog could fight against her.
But the problem was that the Dawn army had Mu Yao and Mu Qing. So, why did they lose?
Fog had once said that the truly powerful factions would choose to lie low or expand.
Only a weak race like Fog¡¯s who had no way out or wanted to take a gamble would choose to infiltrate human society.
Fog¡¯s original path of growth was also to expand its domain, but without the help of its nsmen, it met Mu Qing at the start and could only choose another path of growth.
This was also the main reason why Fog chose to attack the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
After all, from the perspective of a domain creature, the resources that human society could provide were extremely limited.
Let s talk about cultivation techniques first.
Powerful domain races had better cultivation techniques. Their growth system was also more outstanding than human cultivation which had only developed for more than 500 years.
There was no need to use human geniuses to develop spell projects like the Night Shadow Race.
Considering the issue from a resource perspective.
Unless theymandeered a specialized organization like the Tiger Soul
Research Institute, domain factions would struggle to seize substantial resources through warfare. In fact, they might end up losing more than they gained.
After all, the output of human resources still depended on the domain field.
Instead of attacking humans, it was better to attack other domain fields directly.
Moreover, not all domain factions could think of controlling human special organizations to obtain benefits.
In summary, if there existed a superpower that even the Dawn army couldn¡¯t defeat, there was a high likelihood that they wouldn¡¯t opt to conceal themselves within human society.
Even if they wanted to upy human territory, they would choose the path of sweeping through a city like the Silver Moon Race.
Therefore, if the domain faction lurking in human society caused Mu Yao and Mu Qing to fail in their joint battle, Feng Qi would not believe it.
From a historical point of view, the strength of the Dawn army was clear.
The dark era created by the Dawn army also upied a huge portion of future history. From this, one could see the influence of the Dawn army.
Putting aside the specific reason for the Dawn army¡¯s mysterious behavior¡
Judging from the strength of the Dawn army, unless an unknown super domain faction appeared, the domain faction lurking in human society was not their match.
Then a new problem would arise.
If the Dawn army didn¡¯t fight against the domain factions lurking in human society, they wouldn¡¯t have been evaluated as ¡°rebels¡±.
The domain factions were not fools. In their eyes, the other domain factions were their opponents. They wouldn¡¯t take the initiative to help..
Chapter 616 - 616: New Clue, Heavy Fog (2)
Chapter 616: New Clue, Heavy Fog (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
It was just like the supply areas at the frontline. The frontline warriors had fought against the domain fields for many years, but they had never seen the domain factions lurking in human society resist or target them.
To the hidden domain factions, the actions of the frontline warriors to disperse the other domains could bring them substantial benefits.
This was apparent.
For example, the owner of the fog controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute and could continuously obtain the spiritual resources allocated to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The source of this portion of resources was obtained by the warriors in the various frontline supply areas during their dispersion and exploration of the domain field.
Therefore, the operation of the frontline warriors to disperse the domain field was only beneficial to the hidden domain factions.
So, what was the problem?
This undoubtedly formed a paradox.
If the Dawn army was focusing on confronting domain factions within the domain field, they could potentially encounter super domain factions that remained undiscovered. These factions had not made a move since arriving in the human world. They lurked in the shadows, patiently waiting for the opportune moment for the situation to unfold.
Among them, there might be terrifying sleeping creatures simr to the Pir Gods, destroying the Dawn army.
However, if that was the case, the Dawn army could not be defined as a rebel army.
From the perspective of the hidden domain factions, not only would they not target the Dawn army but they would also take the initiative to give them various reputations.
The Dawn army¡¯s actions were undoubtedly helping them reduce theirpetitors while increasing the output of spiritual resources.
However, if Dawn army did not target the forces in the domain field but the hidden domain factions lurking in human society, they would indeed be called ¡°rebels¡±.
But the problem was, how could the domain factions lurking in human society defeat Mu Yao and Mu Qing¡¯s alliance?
At this thought, Feng Qi could not help but frown.
He felt that there must be a variable in this. Even Mu Yao found it extremely difficult to deal with it.
No domain faction matched this conjecture.
As he pondered, he suddenly thought of the blue-skinned assassin.
The blue-skinned assassins were the most mysterious domain faction in the current intelligence. Their origins were a mystery, and even they were a mystery.
After death, it would turn into Spiritual Qi andpletely dissipate. After being dissected, there were no functional organs in the body that assisted the body¡¯s operation.
Simultaneously, Wei Wei also mentioned that the blue-skinned assassin appeared to be consistently receiving mysterious signals from the outside world. There was a high likelihood that this signal was remotely controlling the blue-skinned assassin.
Precise positioning, and invisibility from surveince cameras¡ªthere were still many unexinable problems with the blue-skinned assassin.
The blue-skinned assassin also had many abilities and traits.
In many timelines, he had encountered blue-skinned assassins who mainly used mental attacks. He had also seen blue-skinned assassins who held daggers and used assassination as an attack method.
There were many other abilities and traits, such as control, defense, curse¡
Other than the simr characteristics of being fearless of death, the abilities that the blue-skinned assassin had mastered were notpletely the same.
This was very simr to the various human spells.
He could not help but wonder if there was such a possibility.
The blue-skinned assassin was the main reason why the Dawn army failed.
The avable information could prove that the blue-skinned assassin had collected arge number of miracle items, and every miracle item had a special ability to ignore thews of physics.
Therefore, the power behind the blue-skinned assassin might be very terrifying.
What he saw now was only the tip of the iceberg of the power disyed by the blue-skinned assassins.
This could also be seen from the importance the Spiritual Energy Race ced on the blue-skinned assassins. This was not the attitude one should have towards an ordinary faction.
But the specific reason was that the information avable was limited.
He could only hope that thisbat timeline could go far and obtain more useful information to unveil the secret and let him explore more truths.
At the thought of this, Feng Qi looked up at Tian Shu, who was standing in the prison and bound by metal chains.
He felt that Tian Shu might know the background of the blue-skinned assassins.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, have you ever encountered a domain race with blue skin and a slender build? They¡¯re approximately 5 feet tall and possess a variety of abilities and characteristics.¡±
Tian Shu was curious.
He didn¡¯t answer directly. After recalling, he said.
¡°When I was guarding the Path to Heaven, I encountered many domain species simr to your description. I¡¯m not sure which one you¡¯re referring to.¡±
If it were a creature from another domain field, he could find pictures from the encrypted cell phone he carried with him.
Even if he didn¡¯t save the photos, he could call the Tiger Soul Research Institute and send the relevant photos.
However, the blue-skinned assassin possessed a mysterious trait that defied documentation. There was no photographic evidence whatsoever.
The only record he had of the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s appearance was that he had drunk the mysterious wine in the stronghold of the weaker races. The mental power image inside recorded the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s detailed appearance.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called the director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Although there were no pictures of the blue-skinned assassin in the database, there was a detailed description of the blue-skinned assassin.
After exining his purpose foring to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he hung up.
In a moment, a sketch photo was sent to his phone.
After tapping on the photo to confirm that there was no mistake, he pointed the screen at Tian Shu and asked..
Chapter 617 - 617: New Clue, Heavy Fog (3)
Chapter 617: New Clue, Heavy Fog (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, have you seen or heard of the domain creature in this picture?¡±
Tian Shu sized up the sketch curiously for a few seconds before shaking his head.
¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a domain creature when I was guarding Route 32.1 also didn¡¯t hear anything about it when I was guarding the route with myrades.¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of regret.
He thought that Tian Shu might have some information, but it was a pity that Tian Shu had nevere into contact with the blue-skinned assassins.
¡°Why do you want to know about this domain race? What¡¯s so special about them?¡± Tian Shu asked curiously.
Feng Qi nodded and said,
¡°This domain race is very mysterious. In the previous timeline, I¡¯ve been assassinated by them many times. I¡¯m also certain that this race has many miracle items. Their potential strength is terrifying.¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t been able to find any information rted to this domain race after exploring many timelines, but I think this domain race might have a huge impact on human history. It might even be the culprit behind the Dawn army¡¯s failure.¡±
¡°Of course, this is just my guess. It might not be the truth.¡±
¡°I see, but I¡¯ve never seen this race¡¯s power, nor do I know their origins.¡±
After chatting with Tian Shu for a while, Feng Qi prepared to leave.
He had considered bringing Tian Shu out of this metal cage.
But thinking about it carefully, he had no way to solve the hidden problem of Tian Shu.
Bringing him out of this cage rashly might bring disaster to Star City.
Although the current cultivation system was far from what it was 400 years ago, and the human experts were far stronger than back then, they would be able to fight against the out-of-control Tian Shu. Moreover, Mu Qing was around.
However, Mu Qing was important in thisbat timeline and could not follow Tian Shu all the time.
Once Mu Qing was not around, Tian Shu, who had lost control, would cause the Star City Military to suffer heavy losses.
He had also thought of bringing Tian Shu to the Scarlet Research Institute and letting Wei Wei try to solve the hidden problem in Tian Shu¡¯s body.
However, on careful thought, there was a huge hidden danger in doing so.
Putting aside whether Wei Wei could solve the problem in Tian Shu¡¯s body, once Tian Shu suddenly lost control while solving the hidden problem, it would be a disaster for the Scarlet Research Institute.
At that time, Wei Wei might die in Tian Shu¡¯s hands.
The Scarlet Research Institute was the core of every sacrifice timeline. Safety was always the top priority.
They had important tasks such as developing virtual games, oveing the hidden dangers of Flesh Sacrifice, researching new projects¡ and keeping his brain.
Sending Tian Shu to the Scarlet Research Institute might cause everyone¡¯s efforts to be in vain.
It was equivalent to aplete failure in thebat timeline. Even if he could gather arge amount of information on thisbat timeline, with the Scarlet Research Institute gone, the information gathered could not be handed to the future him.
After much consideration, Feng Qi chose to give up.
Tian Shu was a very powerful assistant, but before he found a solution to the problem of Tian Shu losing control, he could not put him to good use.
It was like Schrodinger¡¯s double-edged sword.
The prospect of unlocking the cage hinged on fate, determining whether they would encounter the ¡°out-of-control Tian Shu¡± or the normal Tian Shu.
He would kill his enemies, his people, or both.
Tian Shu was terrifying.
At least in thisbat timeline, this was all the interactions between them.
Thinking of this, he looked at Tian Shu and said.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, perhaps we will berades-in-arms in the future, but I¡¯m leaving now. Take care.¡±
¡°Wait, I have something for you,¡± Tian Shu said..
Chapter 618 - 618: Negotiation - Submission (1)

Just as he was about to leave, Tian Shu stopped Feng Qi.
Under Feng Qi¡¯s curious gaze, Tian Shu turned around and revealed his back that was branded with divine patterns.
As the divine patterns distorted, ck spots of light appeared from them. They quickly rotated and expanded in the air, pulling into a ck hole.
Arge number of items spewed out of the ck hole.
Piles of runic crystals, various spiritual ores, jade, and even armor and weapons.
In a moment, a small mountain of them was piled up in the cage.
¡°There are still many challenges to the establishment of Breaking Dawn. My current situation is special and I can¡¯t provide you with any help. These are some of the relics I obtained from stopping the domain factions on Route 32 of the Path to Heaven. Take them.¡±
Dense Spiritual Qi surged towards him. Feng Qi nodded solemnly.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, thank you.¡±
¡°You and I have the same ideals. Continue moving forward and don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± A smile appeared on Tian Shu¡¯s thin face. As he spoke, he clenched his fists towards the metal door.
With a sh of purple light, the iron door opened automatically.
¡°Come in and get it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi did not hesitate and immediately stepped into the cage.
Seeing this, Mu Qjng decisively followed behind.
Next, Feng Qi and Mu Qing began to move the resources.
Lacking a magical item such as a portable space, they could only transport the umted resources out of the cage gradually, bit by bit.
It took them some effort to bring all the resources out of the cage.
Afterward, Feng Qi looked up at Tian Shu in the cage.
Tian Shu clenched his fist at the iron door again. Purple light appeared again, and the iron door closed automatically.
¡°Uncle Tian Shu, we¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡±
¡°Go on. I¡¯m going to continue sleeping. Only sleep can relieve the loneliness in my heart.¡±
After saying that, Tian Shu dragged the chain and took two steps back, blending into the darkness.
Taking a deep look at the dark corner of the cage, Feng Qi nodded solemnly. History did not record this warrior who had spent his life fighting for the continuation of human civilization, but he remembered it.
If he could reach the end of this path of salvation one day, he would write their deeds at the finish line and let all of humanity know about these silent and great guardians.
After leaving the 40th floor, Feng Qi called the director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He could not take away all the resources provided by Tian Shu, so he needed the help of external forces.
He decided to split these resources into two groups.
One of them was sent to the Tiger Soul Research Institute as the starting capital for Breaking Dawn¡¯s future development.
The other portion was sent to the Scarlet Research Institute.
Especially the rune crystals.
Only the Scarlet Research Institute could maximize the use of these resources. The Scarlet Research Institute was very rich in resources at this stage. It was not much inferior to the Tiger Soul Research Institute. There was a huge amount of spiritual resources stored in the resource bank.
But extending the lifespan of these resources to 1, 500 years seems a stretch. This was also the main reason why every time the members of the Scarlet Research Institute hid in the secret base, they would start to scrimp and save. After all, at that time, the Scarlet Research Institute would no longer be able to obtain external resources.
Other than the food produced through internal cycles, the other resources were used up.
Feng Qi was duty-bound to help the Scarlet Research Institute.
After exining the resource allocation n to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s director, Feng Qi and Mu Qing left the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s sub-base and returned to Star City Academy.
In the next few days, Feng Qi and the members of Breaking Dawn discussed the organization¡¯s development n.
Now, Breaking Dawn¡¯s starting point was far higher than in the previous timeline.
As long as Star City was stabilized, Breaking Dawn would grow into a powerful force that was not inferior to the hidden domain factions.
With so many timelinesid out, Feng Qi hoped that he could go further this time.
It was inevitable that the night would be dark. As they pressed onward, dawn would undoubtedly follow.
Three dayster.
Star City, Central District Starlight Bridge.
This was a bridge with a long history that connected the east and west districts of the city. It was located on thergest innerke in Star City and was one of the importantponents of the many regional connections in the city.
As a superrge city, Star City was originally formed by thebination of many cities.
At that time, the east and west of Star City were independent cities. When nning the merger of the cities, the Starlight Bridge was born.
Today, this bridge was an importantndmark in Star City.
At this moment, on the pir in the middle of the Starlight Bridge, Feng Qi was dressed in ck and wore a scarlet mask. His clothes fluttered in the night wind.
The mask on his face was made by the Scarlet Research Institute. It could prevent mental power vision and simte facial expressions. There was also a huge smiley face drawn on the mask.
Mu Qing was also wearing a ck robe and a scarlet mask as she stood quietly beside him.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Qi suddenly turned to look down the bridge. Three figures were quickly climbing up the cable. They were like ghosts in the night, their bodies agile. In the blink of an eye, they jumped to Feng Qi¡¯s side.
Feng Qi saw their faces clearly at this moment.
The man in the lead had a humanoid appearance. He was about 6 feet tall and had gills-like stripes on his cheeks. His eyes were sharp and lively.
From their appearance, it was impossible to tell that they were domain creatures.
¡°Sir, why did you ask to meet us?¡± The man in the lead asked in a low voice. Feng Qi didn¡¯t say anything. Mu Qing, who was standing beside him, took a step forward at this moment. Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended, causing the expression of the man in the lead to freeze. Right on the heels of that, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead..
Chapter 619 - 619: Negotiation - Submission (2)
Chapter 619: Negotiation ¨C Submission (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
¡°Sir, you asked us here for negotiations. There¡¯s no need to assert dominance as soon as we arrive, is there?¡±
The man in the lead, who was struggling to resist Mu Qing¡¯s pressure, said with a flushed face.
¡°Alright, stop scaring our future allies,¡± Feng Qi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mu Qing immediately restrained her aura and retreated to his side.
The pressure suddenly disappeared. The three domain creatures heaved a sigh of relief with ugly expressions. Fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Feng Qi.
¡°Sir, you¡¯ve been wantonly destroying our alliance¡¯s base recently. What do you want to talk to us about? And what do you mean by forming an alliance?¡± The man in the lead asked in a low voice.
¡°It¡¯s simple. I want to take you in and work for me.¡±
Feng Qi went straight to the point and voiced his thoughts.
¡°Sir, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood. We established the domain alliance in Star City only to provide a tform. We can¡¯t order other factions to follow my orders.¡±
¡°I know.¡±
¡°Then why¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need you to do anything for me. What I want is to control your alliance¡¯s intelligencework, including all missions. If you¡¯re unwilling, I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t survive in Star City anymore. From now on, I¡¯ll wreck your base three times a day until youpromise. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can give it a try.¡±
Confronted by Feng Qi¡¯s overbearing demeanor, the leader¡¯s expression turned extremely displeased.
He did not doubt that Feng Qi would do that.
During this period, 31 alliance bases had been destroyed and hundreds of domain creatures had died. This was a warning from Feng Qi.
¡°Sir, do you want to control the entire Star City?¡±
The man in the lead quickly analyzed Feng Qi¡¯s ultimate goal.
It was obvious that he did not want any hidden dangers to appear in Star City if he wanted to control the intelligencework.
From the perspective of the overall situation, there seemed to be only one possibility. He hoped that the situation in Star City was under his control. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Feng Qi admitted without hesitation.
¡°Do you have the ability? The Star City Military is not to be trifled with. If they know of your existence, they will take you out.¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± A smile appeared on the mask that could simte facial expressions.
¡°I¡¯m not sure. Perhaps you can prove it to us.¡± The leader did not give in immediately. Instead, he hoped that Feng Qi could prove it.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll prove it to you.¡±
As soon as Feng Qi finished speaking, Mu Qing, who was standing behind him, suddenly jumped up.
Her aura rose steadily, and a jade-colored dense aura enveloped the surroundings.
A terrifying pressure appeared again. At this moment, she clenched her fists and suddenly punched at the center of theke.
The three domain creatures standing in front of Feng Qi immediately looked in the direction Mu Qing was pointing with her fist.
Boom!
They couldn¡¯t discern the fist shadows clearly as they advanced. Instead, they only heard a resounding explosion in the center of theke. Witnessing theke¡¯s central portion sink and crumble, a formidable force disced the water, eventually unveiling the mud and rocks at theke¡¯s bottom.
At this moment, Mu Qing, who was floating in the air, suddenly retracted her fist.
The terrifying power suddenly dissipated, and theke water immediately surged back, causing water to ssh dozens of feet high in the center.
Soon after, Mu Qingnded behind Feng Qi.
¡°Is it enough?¡±
The three domain creatures were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They looked at Feng Qi with fear in their eyes.
They could not imagine how powerful Feng Qi was to be able to subdue such a powerful expert.
This punch shook their hearts.
Knowing that the deterrence effect had been achieved, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s mask.
¡°I assume you came to Star City seeking benefits. Going against me doesn¡¯t align with your pursuit of advantages, does it?¡±
After the intimidation phase concluded, Feng Qi moved on to entice them.
¡°What do you mean?¡± The man in the lead asked carefully.
¡°Under my protection, your progress will be more seamless. If you¡¯re willing to remain loyal to me, I can guarantee a monthly allocation of fixed spiritual resources as a reward for you.¡±
Under the pressure of intimidation and enticement, the defenses in the heart of the man with gills on his facepletely crumbled.
¡°We¡¯re willing to be loyal to you, but I want to know how we should contact you in the future.¡± The leader bowed slightly.
¡°Intelligence and missions obtained in the future can be sent to the Tiger Soul Research Institute. On the first of every month, you can also go to the Tiger Soul Research Institute to collect your resources. As for whether you send these resources back to the n or use them yourself, I won¡¯t care.¡±
¡°Tiger Soul Research Institute?¡± The leader was rmed.
¡°Sir, may I ask if the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡ is already under your control?¡±
Feng Qi did not answer and opened his right palm.
In his palm was a transparent ss bottle. Through the ss, one could see the small ck pills inside.
¡°Eat it in front of me. Although you¡¯re already loyal to me, it¡¯s your turn to prove your sincerity.¡±
The small ck pills in the ss bottle were a special pill developed by the director of the nt Research Department of the Scarlet Research Institute. It was made from a mix of more than 20 types of spiritual nts.
After consuming this pill, the body would be extremely dependent on the medicinal effect and had to take it regrly every day.
This dependence did note purely from the spiritual level.
Cutting off the medication would lead to the Spiritual Qi in one¡¯s body bing chaotic, potentially causing one¡¯s mind to fall into disarray. It posed a threat to one¡¯s life.
If the withdrawalsted for a month, the probability of death would increase greatly.
This pill had already been tested on many domain creatures. Other than elemental domain creatures, all the domain creatures with flesh and blood had seeded.
Unless one could instantly digest matter into energy like Mu Qing, causing it topletely lose the effect of the medicine, one would not be able to escape the control of the medicine.
Other than the side effects, this pill was essentially a spiritual medicine.
Consuming it regrly not only did not burden the body but it also nourished the body.
In the previous timeline, the owner of the fog used Flesh Sacrifice to control them. He did not intend to promote Flesh Sacrifice in this timeline. This was a new method developed by the Scarlet Research Institute.
Although the pills were not as domineering as Flesh Sacrifice and were useless against creatures with powerful physiques, it was easy to control the three domain creatures in front of him.
A conflicted expression appeared on the face of the man in the lead. But after a short hesitation, he took the ss bottle, poured out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.
Then, it poured out two more pills and handed them to his two younger brothers behind him.
The other two domain creatures didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately swallowed it.
At this moment, Mu Qing stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the man in the lead.
The jade-colored stream of light seeped into the leader¡¯s body through Mu Qing¡¯s arm, helping him digest the pill.
Then, Mu Qing looked at the other two domain creatures and helped them digest the pills.
Thereafter, Mu Qing retreated behind Feng Qi.
¡°They have been digested.¡±
Feng Qi nodded and looked at the man in the lead.
¡°Congrattions on making the right choice. I believe you¡¯ll consider today¡¯s decision fortunate in the future.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s continue the topic from before. Regarding whether I have already taken control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the truth is as you think. The Tiger Soul Research Institute is now under my control.¡±
Hearing this, joy appeared on the three domain creatures¡¯ faces.
In their opinion, they were already on the same side as the mysterious person in front of them. The stronger his power was, the more beneficial it was to them.
Perhaps in the future, under the protection of this mysterious expert, he could lead their nsmen to escape the danger of the situation.
As they imagined a beautiful future, smiles appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Feng Qiughed in his heart.
Painting a rosy picture was indeed a necessary method to control one¡¯s heart.
The first step was to terrify them. It was mainly to intimidate them and put themselves at the top of the negotiation.
The second step was to lure.
In these areas, the warriors of the weak race alliance were generally ouws. They were even willing to risk their lives for benefits so that they could work harder.
The third step was to control and paint a rosy picture.
Control was to prevent possible betrayal. It was to make them serve him wholeheartedly and feel like they were on the same boat as him.
These were all methods used by Fog in the previous timeline. He copied them.
However, Fog had never treated them as its people from the start to the end. They were just tools to be used. There was no need for them to exist if their value was gone.
Feng Qi had the same thoughts.
It was the early stages of Breaking Dawn¡¯s development, and there was something useful about them.
However, once their value was exhausted, he would not hesitate to erase them all without any mercy.
¡°Sir, may I know your name? We¡¯ll know how to address you in the future!¡± At this moment, the leader bowed and asked.
After a short thought, Feng Qi smiled and said.
¡°My name is¡ Narrator!¡±

Chapter 620: Star City Military (1)

The sound of sirens came from afar.
Arge number of unmanned aircraft rose from the vicinity of the central area of Star City and quickly approached the Starlight Bridge.
Mu Qing¡¯s punch towards the center of theke caused a hugemotion.
The anomaly detection department of the Star City Military had evidently identified a substantial energy fluctuation. Simultaneously, citizens in the vicinity of Starlight Lake, upon hearing the loud noise, opted to alert the police.
The forces stationed in the central area of Star City were quickly mobilized and started to take action.
Looking at the unmanned reconnaissance fleet that appeared in the distance and the maglev military vehicles shing blue and red below that were quickly approaching the Starlight Bridge, Feng Qi felt that it was time for him to leave.
At this moment, he turned to look at the lead domain creature.
¡°If anything happens in the future, you can contact me through the Tiger Soul Research Institute. Leave first.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
The domain creature in the lead immediately nodded. Then, he turned around and led the other two domain creatures down the Starlight Bridge.
¡°Ah Qi, I don¡¯t think they are sincere in joining us,¡± Mu Qing suddenly said after the three domain creatures left.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mu Qing was curious.
¡°They don¡¯t have a choice. As long as they¡¯re under my control, I don¡¯t care what they think.¡±
Feng Qi had also asked Fog about simr questions in the previous timeline.
However, Fog¡¯s words made him understand the logic.
It said that such an opportunity was too tempting for the lower-level forces. They might never encounter it again in their lives.
They might notpletely believe him, but this was undoubtedly an opportunity.
This was like a big gamble that could create huge future benefits.
All living beings possess strengths and weaknesses. Not everyone could gaze down upon the world and freely determine their future path alongside their kin.
These weaklings who struggled at the bottom were destined not to have the right to choose.
When he presented a beautiful vision of the future, it was akin to a drowning person grasping at a straw, offering a glimmer of hope amid the uncertain times ahead.
They knew very well that what they might see aftering ashore might not be hope, but an even more desperate scene.
However, if they missed this opportunity, a simr one might never appear again.
Therefore, they would choose to take a gamble.
Through Fog¡¯s analysis, he understood the logic behind it.
He had also seen simr situations in the Dark God Race.
Faced with the resources of the Spiritual Energy Race, how could the Dark God Race not know about the hidden dangers, let alone think that the Spiritual Energy Race was purely helping out of goodwill?
There was a hidden danger behind the support of resources.
However, the Dark God Race still chose to submit to the Spiritual Energy Race.
This was also a huge gamble, betting on the future of the Dark God Race to obtain a chance of survival.
Therefore, in the previous timeline, the owner of the fog was not worried that the higher-ups of the weak race alliance would betray it. This was because it brought hope, regardless of whether it was true or false.
After hearing his exnation, Mu Qing pondered for a moment and nodded.
¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Feng Qi said at this moment. With that, he jumped down from the bridge.
Seeing this, Mu Qing immediately jumped down as well.
A momentter, Feng Qi and Mu Qing appeared in the corridor along the east side of Starlight Lake.
Next, they decided to make a trip to the military headquarters in the central area of Star City.
If they wanted topletely control Star City, the military was a powerful force that could not be avoided.
As the onlyw enforcement and foreign war organization in Star City, the military controlled most of the armed forces in Star City.
In terms of influence, the Star City Military was rtively low-key. Other than sudden major incidents, they didn¡¯t interact with the public.
However, there was no doubt that the Star City Military was the most powerful organization in the city.
If Breaking Dawn did not manage their rtionship with Star City Military well, it would greatly affect the subsequent advancement of thebat timeline.
It was already ten o¡¯clock at night, and there was an endless stream of passers-by along theke.
Some passers-by stood outside the railings along theke and looked in the direction of theke. They were all curious about the reason for the loud explosion in the middle of theke.
From time to time, there would be unmanned aircraft flying past above their heads. The searchlights kept scanning theke.
Feng Qi and Mu Qing walked along theke. On both sides were various snack stalls filled with tourists.
Smoke rose from the chimney, and the smell of smoke and fire assaulted their faces.
The smell of all kinds of food filled the air, arousing Feng Qi and Mu Qing¡¯s appetite.
¡°Are you hungry?¡± He turned to look at Mu Qing.
¡°I¡¯m not!¡± Mu Qing said seriously.
¡°You haven¡¯t had dinner yet. You must be hungry. Have something to eat before heading to the military. My treat.¡±
With that, Feng Qi walked towards the snack stall by theke.
Mu Qing¡¯s stomach growled as she gazed at the food stall emitting smoke. Without hesitation, she followed Feng Qi decisively.
A momentter, Feng Qi and Mu Qing sat on the seats beside the snack stall and began to eat heartily.
The night breeze blew past his face as he looked at the passersbying and going.
Feng Qi realized that when he calmed down, everything around him was beautiful.
He still remembered the first time he came here. It was with his parents.
However, that memory had already be blurry. He had long passed the carefree years.
¡°Ah Qi, are you tired?¡± Mu Qing, who was eating skewers, interrupted his thoughts.
¡°Yes.¡± Feng Qi admitted without hesitation.
¡°Have you ever thought of giving up?¡±
¡°I hesitated, but in the end, I persevered. It only strengthened my resolve.¡±
¡°What drives you forward?¡± Mu Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity as she stopped eating..
Chapter 621 - 621: Star City Military (2)
Chapter 621: Star City Military (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Facing the question, he didn¡¯t answer directly. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Starlight Bridge.
¡°Do you know the history of Starlight Bridge?¡±
¡°I¡¯m aware of that. This used to be the bridge connecting Shattered Light City and Starlight City. Back then, there were no city walls or defense lines. During the construction of this bridge, it was invaded by domain factions. Without the sacrifices of the martyrs, this bridge wouldn¡¯t have beenpleted. The two cities wouldn¡¯t have been able to connect and form the current central region of Star City.¡±
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
¡°You¡¯re right. If it weren¡¯t for the martyrs fighting a bloody battle, we wouldn¡¯t have a stable life in Star City.¡±
¡°Each era presents new challenges. Our predecessors established Star City amidst these challenges and erected a defense line for us. It¡¯s akin to a legacy. We, too, must confront the new challenges of this era. Only then can our human civilization endure.¡±
¡°My predecessors took care of me, and I¡¯ll take care of my sessors!¡±
Looking at Feng Qi who said this with a smile, Mu Qing¡¯s eyes flickered.
Once again, she sensed that determination emanating from Feng Qi, and she felt as if a warm breeze was brushing against her face.
¡°Ah Qi, I will always stand by your side.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Feng Qi smiled and nodded. Then, he grabbed a handful of skewers and started eating.
Looking at the sticks piled up on the table, Mu Qing hesitated and said.
¡°Will you go broke treating me?¡±
¡°No, I have money!¡±
¡°In that case¡ Boss, give me another 500 skewers!¡±
The night was hazy.
It was almost midnight.
After supper, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the Star City Military headquarters.
Compared to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute, the Star City Military Base did not set up a towering wall. They only used barbed wire to form a barrier.
Through the barbed wire, one could see arge number of weapons and equipment ced in the base square.
The headquarters of the military was located in the central area of Star City. It was established along the north side of Starlight Lake and was established earlier than the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute.
When it was first established, the Star City Military didn¡¯t have this name.
At that time, every district in Star City was a city, and there was no n to merge them into Star City.
Faced with the powerful invasion of the domain creatures, the major cities had a hard time dealing with them.
Amid the immense crisis, the major cities united and formed the precursor to the Star City Military, known as the South Region Joint Operations Department.
During the initial phases of the cmity, when confronted with invasions by domain factions, every battle inflicted substantial casualties on the soldiers of the South Region Joint Operations Department.
To replenish its strength, the South Region Joint Operations Department expanded.
They incorporatedw enforcement personnel.
The Star City Military was destined to emerge as the foremost organization in the new Star City. It would wield the authority to uphold thew and engage in conflicts beyond its borders.
There were also seven departments under the military.
They were the External Warfare Department, the City Law Enforcement Department, the Command Department, the Logistics Department, the Training Department, the Communications Department, and the Intelligence Department.
Each department was under the overall management of themand post.
To deal with the possible crisis in Star City, the military had set up bases in every district and was equipped with advanced weapons and equipment.
As for the Star City Military¡¯s source of soldiers, they came from various universities.
Among them, the top universities were in charge of nurturing high-level talents from the military departments of the various cities.
For example, Victory Academy was the main source of military personnel at the front line and in the variousrge cities.
Furthermore, the military boasted aprehensive promotion system to ensure that talents wouldn¡¯t be overlooked or neglected.
After walking along the barbed wire for a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the entrance of the Star City Military.
There were eight sentry posts set up on both sides. Every sentry post was guarded by armed soldiers.
When they arrived at the entrance, a soldier immediately reminded them.
¡°This is a military zone. Unauthorized entry is prohibited. Do you require any assistance?¡±
¡°The director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute has contacted your Chief Commander. We have something important to attend to.¡±
Hearing this, the soldier did not hesitate. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie on his chest and began to ask about the situation.
A momentter, the soldier put down the walkie-talkie and waved behind him.
Immediately, the lift pir blocking the entrance fell, and the railing of the second checkpoint was raised.
The soldier on duty walked down from the sentry post and looked at Feng Qi.
¡°Let me take you in.¡±
¡°Thank you very much.¡±
¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go get the car.¡± With that, the soldier on duty jogged to the military car parked at the back.
A momentter, Feng Qi and Mu Qing got into the car and drove into the headquarters.
This was Feng Qi¡¯s first time in the Star City Military. He was curious about the facilities inside.
The facilities at the headquarters were highlyprehensive. Each building had a corresponding function name disyed outside.
In addition, there were open-air functional venues such as battlefields and open-air weapons depots that were specially used for training.
Half an hourter, the military vehicle stopped in front of a towering building that looked like a fist.
After getting out of the car, they passed the verification and entered the building under the lead of the soldiers on duty.
They took the elevator to the sixth floor and arrived at the mainmand room.
¡°The Chief Commander is aware that you¡¯re here. You may enter directly.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
The soldier on duty immediately nodded and turned to leave.
Feng Qi took a step forward and knocked on the door.
¡°Come in.¡±
He pushed open the door and saw arge desk. The desk was filled with various documents, and there was a small military g of Star City Military on the left side of the monitor..
Chapter 622 - 622: Star City Military (3)
Chapter 622: Star City Military (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Behind the desk were two gs. On the left was the Star City g, and on the right was the Star City Military g.
On the left side of the room was the miniature sand table of Star City.
There were also many military gs on it. Every g represented a military base in Star City.
Many other details could be seen from the sand table.
At this moment, an old man with a head full of white hair and a dignified appearance was sitting in front of the sand table of the city model.
¡°Chief Commander,¡± Feng Qi greeted respectfully.
¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. Have a seat.¡± As he spoke, the old man stood up, went to the sofa, and sat down with a smile.
Seeing this, Feng Qi led Mu Qing to sit on the sofa opposite the old man.
¡°I heard from Old Li that you have something to discuss with me. I¡¯m curious about what it is since Old Li can¡¯t exin it over the phone.¡±
Old Li was the current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Facing the old man¡¯s question, Feng Qi immediately nodded and said.
¡°Chief Commander, this is a serious matter, so I can¡¯t exin it over the phone. I think it¡¯s better to tell you in person. You might not believe what I¡¯m about to say, but it is the truth¡¡±
Without much preamble, he chose to get straight to the point.
Beforeing to Star City Military, Feng Qi considered a problem.
Could Star City Military be upied by domain factions as well?
He had no way of knowing the answer to this question, and he did not have a lot of time in thisbat timeline to infiltrate and investigate.
This sacrificial timeline was intended for experimentation and to allow for errors.
Before his arrival, he had also briefed the Scarlet Research Institute on the situation. Even if he were to perish within the confines of the Star City Military, and his head couldn¡¯t be returned to the Scarlet Research Institute, the news of his demise within the military headquarters of Star City would still reach the ears of someone he had yet to encounter.
However, Feng Qi felt that this worry was probably unnecessary.
The purpose of the Star City Military was to ¡°protect¡±.
It was like every organization had its own rules and regtions.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was infiltrated because their rules were to explore a new path in cultivation.
This was filled with uncertainty.
That was why they were controlled and used by domain factions.
However, the Star City Military¡¯s rules were clear¡ªto protect Star City and human civilization.
If a domain faction were to control the Star City Military to do things for them, they would encounter many obstacles. Even the Chief Commander would find it difficult to casually mobilize the military¡¯s power to do things for them.
For example, letting the soldiers of the Star City Military ughter the civilians.
Even though this order was given by the Chief Commander, it vited the military¡¯s rules. It would be rejected by the othermanders along the way.
There were only two possibilities for mobilizing the military¡¯s forces.
First, he had to confirm that this matter might endanger the development of human civilization or the safety of the people of Star City.
Secondly, it received approval from the highest-level military meeting and obtained the consent of the heads of the seven departments.
In addition, every military operation would be supervised by the Star City Supreme Council.
Therefore, it was difficult for domain factions to infiltrate the Star City Military. Unless they controlled all the management personnel from the middle to higher-ups, any mission that was unfavorable to human civilization could not be effectively carried out.
After figuring out the reason, Feng Qi became bold.
Moreover, Mu Qing was by his side this time. He felt that even if something unexpected happened, Mu Qing could get him out of there.
The only issue was that if there were problems within the military, the future development of Breaking Dawn would encounter a significant challenge.
Listening to his exnation, the white-haired old man¡¯s expression gradually became serious.
Especially when he heard that there were arge number of domain factions hidden in Star City, his expression was furious. Then, he suddenly asked.
¡°Did the mysterious explosion at the Starlight Lake have something to do with you?¡±
Chapter 623 - 623: Meet My Good Friend (1)
Chapter 623: Meet My Good Friend (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Sitting opposite the sofa, the white-haired old man was the current Chief Commander of Star City Military.
This was not the first time Feng Qi had seen him.
There was an essay in the history textbook called ¡°Light of the Dead Star.¡±
It was about the experience of the old man in front of him when he created the Death Starbat team when he was young.
Feng Qi had also heard about his identity from the head of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
His name was Li Huanian, and he had graduated from the Victory Academy¡¯smander major.
During his time in the academy, he had disyed outstandingmand talent. He had led hismander ss to win themander¡¯s martial artspetition jointly organized by the various academies four times and received the Medal of Outstanding Contribution from the Alliance Military.
He was publicly acknowledged as the strongestmanding freshman in Victory Academy at that time.
After graduation, Li Huanian opted to join the Red Lotus Combat Team, responding to both the military¡¯s invitation and an opportunity to be part of one of the top 10bat teams at the time. He embarked on a frontline career that spanned over 20 years.
During this period, Li Huanian¡¯s performance was outstanding and he quickly advanced in the Red Lotus Combat Team.
In just three years, he became the deputymander of the Red Lotus Number
5 Combat Team.
In many joint operations, he relied on outstandingmand to perfectlyplete the mission of exploring and attacking the domain fields.
In his seventh year on the front line, Li Huanian chose to leave the Red Lotus Combat Team and established the Dead Star Combat Team.
That was what Feng Qi had seen in history textbooks when he was studying.
Feng Qi was not unfamiliar with thisbat team.
In the previous timeline, ¡°Wang Yi¡±, who was parasitized by the owner of the fog, was themander of the Death Star Number Three Combat Team.
The Death Star Combat Team was also sessfully promoted to the top 10bat teams under Li Huanian¡¯s lead.
When he was 48 years old, Li Huanian handed over the position of the Chief Commander to the deputymander at that time. Then, he chose to retire from the front line and return to Star City Military. He joined Star City Military and became a middle-ranking officer.
There were many spections about why he did this.
Some said that Li Huanian¡¯s dream was to be amander of the military. His years on the front line were just to sharpen hismanding skills.
It was also said that Li Huanian had been fighting in the domain field all year round and had a serious illness. He could not continue to run around and could only choose to retire from the front line.
At this moment, the Star City Military sent an invitation to Li Huanian, hoping that he could join the headquarters and continue to contribute to the construction of the Star City Military.
At that time, Li Huanian agreed without hesitation.
No matter the reason why Li Huanian retired from the front line and joined the military, there was no doubt that Li Huanian¡¯s life was filled with legends.
When he was 67 years old, he obtained 92% of the support votes of the military and became the current Chief Commander.
This was a warrior who had spent his life opening the way for the future of mankind.
Today, he was almost 80 years old.
Facing this legendary figure recorded in history textbooks, Feng Qi¡¯s attitude was respectful.
However, when he heard Li Huanian ask him if the explosion at the Starlight Lake was rted to him, he was stunned.
¡°It seems to be rted to you.¡± A smile appeared on Li Huanian¡¯s wrinkled face. ¡°It does have something to do with us, but I want to know how you judged it.¡± Feng Qi did not deny it. Instead, he asked curiously.
No news of his contact with the higher-ups of the domain alliance was leaked.
The military¡¯s investigation at the Starlight Lake did not make any progress. However, Li Huanian was stationed at the headquarters, so how could he have guessed the truth out of thin air? Feng Qi was quite perplexed.
Faced with the question, Li Huanian cast his gaze at Mu Qing.
¡°It¡¯s because of her¡ Mu Qing!¡±
¡°You know my name?¡± Mu Qing, who had been sitting quietly at the side and listening to their conversation, suddenly asked in surprise.
¡°Of course, you¡¯re one of the most dangerous people in Star City.¡±
Amid Feng Qi and Mu Qing¡¯s doubts, Li Huanian quickly exined.
It turned out that Li Huanian had also understood the progress of the rune modification experiment.
He felt that if the rune modification experiment could seed, he could mass-produce powerful warriors for the army.
At that time, he often went to the Scarlet Research Institute to understand the situation.
During this period, he had seen the young Mu Qing, who was following Wei Wei, many times.
He also learned from Wei Wei that Mu Qing would be the next challenger for the scarlet rune crystal.
However, at that time, Mu Qing was still young and did not have any memories of Li Huanian.
From Li Huanian¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi also learned that his initial encounter with Mu Qing was not in the Scarlet Research Institute, but outside Star City.
At that time, a scavenger migration team was attacked by domain transcendent creatures on the main road outside Star City.
The Star City Military had made an emergency move.
At that time, Li Huanian, who had yet to be the Chief Commander, was fully in charge of this operation. He sessfully rescued arge number of scavengers who had migrated and ced them in Star City, including Mu Qing¡¯s family.
As for why he had a deep impression of Mu Qing¡
It was because, at that time, Mu Qing¡¯s parents were poisoned and could not move. They could only be carried back to Star City by the soldiers. Mu Qing, who was following by the side, cried the entire time. During this period, she fainted several times from crying. Every time she woke up, she would cry again.
Therefore, Li Huanian had a deep impression of her.
The next time they met was in the Scarlet Research Institute.
During that period, Mu Qing had grown a bit taller. She enjoyed tugging at the corner of Wei Wei¡¯s clothes and trailing behind her, always with different kinds of food in her mouth.
At this point, Li Huanian paused for a moment before continuing..

¡°Just now, when the drone formation was scanning the vicinity of Starlight Lake, it continually identified the faces of pedestrians and cross-referenced the information in the database. Eventually, a list was forwarded to me.¡±
¡°The individuals on this list are all highly influential figures documented in the database. Mu Qing is among them¡ So, I¡¯m certain that you were in the vicinity of Starlight Lake just now.¡±
¡°As for how 1 deduced that it was you guys who triggered the explosion at theke¡¯s center, I was merely inquiring casually. I can¡¯t fully confirm that it was Mu Qing who did it. She¡¯s just one of the subjects of my spection.¡± Hearing Li Huanian¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi came to a realization.
¡°Go on with your story. I¡¯m curious about what you¡¯re talking about now.¡± Faced with the question, Feng Qi immediately nodded and continued to recount his experience.
Listening to his story, Li Huanian¡¯s expression became serious again. He kept nodding as if he was looking for logical errors in the story to distinguish the truth of what he said.
Time passed as the story progressed.
The sky outside gradually brightened. Unknowingly, six hours had passed. If he were to describe it in detail, Feng Qi could speak for several days and nights.
But with Li Huanian, he only recounted the key points of the story.
However, he chose to deal with the Scarlet Research Institute vaguely.
After all, it was still unknown if the Star City Military waspletely trustworthy.
The prerequisite for taking the risk was that the Scarlet Research Institute had to be safe.
After listening to his story, Li Huanian fell into deep thought as if he had yet to digest what he had said.
Feng Qi also chose to remain silent at this moment, waiting for Li Huanian¡¯s response.
A momentter, Li Huanian came back to his senses and said with a serious expression.
¡°I¡¯m aware that there are hidden domain factions in Star City, which aligns with the weak race alliance you mentioned. Over this period, we¡¯ve eradicated several strongholds of these domain factions. However, upon hearing your ount, I¡¯vee to realize that their scope is muchrger, with dozens of strongholds scattered across Star City¡¡±
Through Li Huanian¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi learned that the Star City Military had long known that there was a hidden danger in Star City and hadunched many investigations.
During the investigation, they also found several strongholds simr to the Armageddon bar¡¯s weak race alliance and cleaned up the domain factions stationed in them.
Nevertheless, the weaker races in these regions proved to be resilient. After clearing one stronghold, another would emerge. Furthermore, the new strongholds tended to be even more concealed than the previous ones.
This had always been a headache for the military.
After hearing Feng Qi¡¯s exnation, Li Huanian understood how difficult the weak race alliance was to deal with.
This was like a group of ouws and mercenaries. Even if they eliminated all the domain factions in Star City, new weak race alliances would still be formed. It was extremely difficult to eradicate them.
When he found out that Feng Qi had controlled three higher-ups of the weak
race alliance, Li Huanian¡¯s interest was piqued.
As they chatted, Feng Qi also exined his thoughts.
The subsequent development of Breaking Dawn would cause a hugemotion.
He hoped that when the time came, the military would not be interfered with by external forces or public opinion and give Breaking Dawn support in all aspects.
After understanding Feng Qi¡¯s intentions, Li Huanian was silent for a long time before saying.
¡°Feng Qi, you should know the military¡¯s power system. Although I¡¯m the Chief Commander, I can¡¯t mobilize the entire military¡¯s strength to support you.¡± At this point, Li Huanian paused for a moment before continuing.
¡°Nheless, I can assure you that for as long as I can, I¡¯ll wholeheartedly support the development of Breaking Dawn. I¡¯ll also convene a meeting in the military, bringing together all the representatives, to deliberate on your situation. If this proposal gains approval, the military will also be a force in your battlefront!¡±
¡°Thank you!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. I should be the one thanking you for your efforts for human civilization.¡± A kind smile appeared on Li Huanian¡¯s face.
After they chatted for a while, Feng Qi stood up and bade farewell to Li Huanian.
After walking out of the military headquarters building, he and Mu Qing got into the military car arranged by Li Huanian and returned to Star City Academy.
Next, he needed to wait for Li Huanian¡¯s notice.
During this period, Li Huacheng arranged for an internal meeting of the military higher-ups.
At that time, they would discuss the situation and then decide if they should support Breaking Dawn¡¯s next move.
Feng Qi looked forward to this.
If the Star City Military could fully support the development of Breaking Dawn, Breaking Dawn wouldplete their n and have a stable rear.
The situation in Star City would also bepletely under his control.
At that time, no matter how the public opinion was led, at least Star City would not be controlled by public opinion, and no faction would obstruct Breaking Dawn¡¯s actions.
The second day after returning to Star City Academy.
Feng Qi decided to officially activate Breaking Dawn¡¯syout in Star City.
With Li Huanian¡¯s assurance, Breaking Dawn¡¯s arrangements in Star City were more than halfpleted.
As for the follow-up military meeting, it was not something he could influence.
But no matter what, the development of Breaking Dawn had to continue.
On this day, he gathered all the students and began to announce the next mission.
The development of Breaking Dawn was still in its initial stages, so recruiting talents was especially important.
He decided to split up the work and officially start to rope in the talentsbeled as ¡°trustworthy¡± in Star City to strengthen the strength and influence of Breaking Dawn.
He divided the list of talents in Star City into several parts and handed them to the students to incorporate them.
During this period, the students were also excited.
In particr, Xu Hongyun, who had always been unknown, immediately expressed that he wanted to return home. He wanted to lobby the family members to provide funds and resources for the subsequent development of Breaking Dawn.
Xu Hongyun¡¯s family background was influential and aligned with a bona fide capitalist standing.
They were also one of the biggest sponsors of the Star City Academy cafeteria. After returning home, Xu Hongyun quickly brought good news. He expressed that his family was willing to fully support the development of Breaking Dawn and was willing to provide help in Star City and other cities.
This was wonderful news for Feng Qi.
During this period, Feng Qi and the other students also started to recruit and expand the strength of Breaking Dawn.
The process of recruitment was rather simple.
Those on the list were reliable and willing to work hard for the rise of human civilization.
As long as they could prove to them the challenges facing human civilization and the purpose of establishing Breaking Dawn, they would choose to join.
In just a few days, more than 20 people decided to join Breaking Dawn.
Feng Qi arranged for them to go to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute would also be Breaking Dawn¡¯s headquarters in Star City and provide support for the subsequent development of thebat timeline.
Five dayster, Feng Qi received a call from the Star City Military headquarters. It was Li Huanian.
He made it clear on the phone that the representatives of the military had passed the resolution to support the development of Breaking Dawn. Next, the Star City Military would stand on the same side as Breaking Dawn.
Upon receiving this news, Feng Qi clenched his fists excitedly.
From today onwards, he no longer had to worry about the hidden dangers that would destroy the development of Breaking Dawn in Star City.
After receiving Li Huanian¡¯s affirmation, Feng Qi looked at Future City.
The Science and Technology Research Institute was his first target on thisbat timeline.
The ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute hid a lot of secrets, especially about ckie. It had always troubled him.
If he conquered the Science and Technology Research Institute, he might be able to find the reason why ckie was chasing after him.
He could even obtain a way to control ckie.
However, before he took action, he decided to deal with another hidden danger first.
On this day, Feng Qi called Wei Wei.
The phone rang a few times before it went through.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wei Wei¡¯s voice came at this moment.
¡°Sister Wei, I¡¯ve decided tounch an operation against the outside world.¡± ¡°I understand. It seems I¡¯m on the verge of saying goodbye to the vibrant world outside and retreating to the secret base in advance. I¡¯ll inform the director and convene a meetingter.¡±
¡°Make sure to enjoy a hearty feast of spicy lobsters before your departure¡¡±
The Scarlet Research Institute hiding in the secret base was the first step of Breaking Dawn¡¯s operation.
After exining the situation to Wei Wei, he would also go and solve a hidden problem that he had to face.
The next night, Feng Qi called Mu Qing and Lu Yue.
When Mu Qing and Lu Yue arrived at the dormitory, he took out two tickets to the Winterfrost Supply Area from his backpack.
Under their surprised expressions, Feng Qi said.
¡°Apany me to the Winterfrost Supply Area. It¡¯s time to meet my good friend.¡±
¡°And give a send-off?¡± Lu Yue suddenly asked.
Mu Qing was speechless..

Winterfrost Supply Area.
It snowed heavily here all year round, and the wind was freezing.
After walking out of the airport, Feng Qi led Mu Qing and Lu Yue to the Winterfrost Supply Area under the heavy snowfall.
He looked up at the sky.
Devoid of the light pollution from the city, the night sky here crafted a breathtakingly beautiful celestial disy, adorned by the stars. The Milky Way unfurled before him like a beaded curtain, and the expansive stars seemed almost touchable.
Feng Qi was no stranger to the Winterfrost Supply Area.
However, for Mu Qing and Lu Yue, the surroundings held a sense of novelty, particrly the captivating scenery.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything seemed quiet and natural.
¡°I thought the front line was a cruel killing ground. I didn¡¯t expect there to be such beautiful scenery.¡± Mu Qing muttered to herself at this moment.
¡°You¡¯ll get used to it after seeing it many times.¡± Feng Qi smiled. Following the route to the supply area, they arrived at a functional store after walking for a while.
He pushed open the door and the wind chimes sounded.
There was a heater in the house, and it was like a different world from the cold outside.
After entering the door, he saw arge number of weapons and equipment on the shelves. There was nock of rusty equipment.
Seeing these weapons, Lu Yue¡¯s expression changed slightly.
¡°I can sense many residual auras on these weapons. They seem to have had many owners.¡±
Feng Qi nodded.
¡°YOU haven¡¯t witnessed the brutality of the front lines. Many of the weapons disyed here have had numerous owners. After their previous owners perished, these weapons were ced in shops for sale. The proceeds from the sales are then sent back to the families, under the guise of additionalpensation.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve spent a considerable time on the front lines. I once witnessed a weapon change hands eight times in a year.¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Yue¡¯s gaze changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
As they spoke, the staff member in the shop walked over quickly.
It was a middle-aged man with a full beard. He wore a white coat that was covered in oil stains.
Seeing Feng Qi and the other two, he immediately said apologetically.
¡°A batch of battle-damaged weapons has just arrived. They¡¯re being inspected and repaired, waiting to be put up for sale. I didn¡¯t notice your arrival. Please forgive me¡ By the way, what would you like to buy?¡±
Faced with the question, Feng Qi immediately said his reason foring.
¡°Boss, I require three sets of ski equipment, three sets of portable tents, searchlights¡¡±
As he spoke, the boss kept nodding and memorizing. Then, he turned around and entered the cubicle.
As for why these equipment were needed, the reason was rted to different points in time.
Thest time he went to find Fog in the previous timeline was a few yearster. Mu Qing had already graduated. At that time, the target of the Winterfrost Supply Area had arrived at the area where the fog domain field was. However, he had checked the information at this time. The main road of the supply area had not been paved in the direction of the fog domain field. Without the main road, subsequent roads would not be essible by car, only by skiing or walking.
In addition, there were many environmental problems ahead.
Especially since there was no signal tower along the way, it was likely that they would lose their way in the snow.
The relevant items he bought in the store were all to better head to the fog domain field.
After waiting for a long time, the shop owner walked out of the cubicle with a cart.
On the cart was arge metal box with various equipment neatly ced inside. After paying, the shop owner originally wanted to help deliver the goods, but he was rejected by Mu Qing.
¡°BOSS, we don¡¯t have a ce to stay yet. Can you help me install two straps on the box?¡±
upon hearing this, the boss immediately revealed a surprised expression.
¡°You¡¯re carrying it?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Mu Qing immediately nodded.
The boss was surprised to hear this, but he did not ask. After all, the physique of a domain warrior was different from ordinary people. He had seen how strong the physique of a warrior was.
However, when he saw Mu Qing easily grab the metal box and carry it on her back, he was still shocked.
He could not imagine that Mu Qing¡¯s thin body contained such terrifying power.
After leaving the store, Feng Qi brought Mu Qing and the others towards the rental store.
Traveling the entire distance on foot would considerably prolong the journey. Transportation was a crucial assurance for reaching the fog domain field. Transporting vehicles from Star City to the Winterfrost Supply Area was troublesome. It was more suitable to rent it on the spot.
The rental shop was located in a more prosperous area of the Winterfrost Supply Area. There were gradually more people along the way. Compared to the city, the passersby here were all wearing equipment and carrying weapons.
The need to carry weapons and equipment in the supply area was a lesson learned from history.
The supply area was close to the domain field. It was the area that was most vulnerable to the attacks of domain transcendent creatures.
While the frontline warriors were exploring and attacking the domain field, domain transcendent creatures would often leave the domain field.
A crisis was imminent.
Being fully armed was a measure to handle potential emergencies, and it also served as a guarantee for one¡¯s safety.
They walked east along the main road.
The convoy that approached from a distance carried soldiers with fatigued expressions and bodies stained with blood. They passed by, emitting subdued groans of pain.
The heavy snow quickly covered the tracks of the wheels.
Every year, arge number of new blood came here with anticipation for the future, wanting to work hard for the rise of humanity..
Chapter 626 - 626: Meeting Fog Again at Winterfront (2)

However, most of them were shrouded in iron garments, their presence and struggles only evident in the form of memorial mounds.
Time was like a heartless sword, cutting off the traces of many people in history.
Nevertheless, there was a spirit that had been perpetually handed down. Sadness and anger served as the catalysts that transformed warriors from youth to maturity.
Upon reaching the lively southern section of the Winterfrost Supply Area, the roads here were constructed with snow-melting materials. Snowkesnding on the ground would promptly melt and flow into the street¡¯s sewer wells. They arrived at the rental shop.
The area here was veryrge. Rows ofrge transportation tools and weapons were neatly ced.
Upon hearing themotion, the staff member immediately came forward to receive them.
After exining his purpose foring, Feng Qi went to the counter to sign the rental agreement. After paying the deposit, he sessfully rented a high-power functional snowmobile.
After maneuvering through the essne next to the rental shop, Feng Qi steered the snowmobile onto the main road.
The night was dark. He did not intend to waste time and drove straight to the fog domain field.
An hourter, the sign for the Winterfrost Supply Area shed past them. They drove onto the main road that led to the domain field.
The lights behind them gradually faded away.
During the journey, they beheld the expansive Milky Way suspended in the sky. The temperature in the car was low, and the air they exhaled turned into white fog.
However, this issue was negligible for Feng Qi, Mu Qing, and Lu Yue. They didn¡¯t even need to deliberately activate the car¡¯s air conditioner.
Through the on-board GPS, they constantly corrected the direction of their advance.
The path to the domain field was not a straight line. There would be forks along the way.
Looking down from the sky, one could see that the north of the Winterfrost Supply Area was like a growing tree that kept branching and leading to different regions.
This road would be extended every year, but every inch of it would cost the frontline warriors their lives.
Along the way, Feng Qi and Lu Yue talked about Tian Shu.
When they talked about the Path to Heaven that Tian Shu mentioned, Lu Yue finally admitted the fact that he came from the Path to Heaven and said something simr to Tian Shu.
Feng Qi couldpletely understand Lu Yue¡¯s secrecy.
From a normal perspective, he had already told Lu Yue the secret of transmigrating through the timeline. It was time for Lu Yue to reveal his greatest secret.
But Lu Yue was different.
After interacting with many timelines, he knew that Lu Yue was a stubborn and old-fashioned person.
Since he had sworn an oath, he would use his life to protect it to the end.
During this period, he would not go against his heart¡¯s desires because of any unexpected situation.
Therefore, when asked about the Path to Heaven in the previous timeline, Lu Yue would always answer.
¡°The day the miraclees to find you will be the day you learn the truth about the Path to Heaven.¡±
This was Lu Yue¡¯s personality. He didn¡¯t use flowery words, but once he gave his approval, he would give his all, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
He was like a riddler, but who wouldn¡¯t adore a friend like him?
When Feng Qi asked if Lu Yue knew about Tian Shu¡
Lu Yue shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of Tian Shu when he was on the Path to Heaven. However, when he was young, he had heard that a strong man was guarding Route 32 of the Path to Heaven alone for more than 30 years.
He even heard that when that ferocious person was extremely bored, he used the bones of a domain creature to forge a path.
The path of bones existed to this day. It was called the White Bone Road by the Heavenly Soldiers.
When a domain faction stepped onto the White Bone Road, it meant that they were about to meet the Grim Reaper. Every step forward was a challenge to their lives.
He listened to Lu Yue recount the past story about Tian Shu.
He saw Tian Shu¡¯s tragic life from another angle.
Loneliness and killing-Tian Shu¡¯s path to salvation was fraught with various pains. In the end, he chose to imprison himself and relinquish his freedom, but the determination in his heart remained steadfast.
This was a human veteran worthy of respect.
The car drove for six hours, and the sky was still dark.
It was the period when the night was long and the day was short. The sun might rise again a few monthster.
However, the stars in the sky were dazzling, providing enough light for the world to be visible even in the absence of the sun and moon.
The flying snow kept hitting the car window, and the snow scraper swept back and forth.
In the silence that followed the end of the conversation, the only sound was the roar of the engine.
Finally, the car arrived at an area that could not be moved forward.
The snow trees ahead were dense and the car could not drive through
normally. They had yet to open up a smooth path.
After parking the car by the roadside, Feng Qi, Mu Qing, and Lu Yue got out of the car.
After taking down the metal box from the back of the car, they began to put on their equipment.
The road ahead was covered in snow, and without the maintenance of the road engineering team, the snow was thick. Unless they flew forward, most of their bodies would sink into the snow if they chose to walk.
Although psychokinesis could help them fly forward, there was still a long way to go. His mental strength was not enough to use during the entire flight.
The ski equipment purchased from the store was useful at this time.
After spending some time putting on the clothes, Feng Qi removed the navigation tablet from the car.
The construction of the main road had not reached this area, and many signal towers had yet to be built. It was likely that they couldn¡¯t rely on navigation for the road ahead.
However, the distance ahead was still within the range of the signal. He could still distinguish it through navigation.
The three of them traversed the snow-covered forest, leaving behind visible tracks in the snow..

Half a dayter, the navigation system could no longer be used. Feng Qi put it back in his backpack.
For the rest of the journey, he could only advance by memory.
However, as the scenery was slightly different from what he remembered, it was difficult to distinguish the direction.
Thepass was also affected, disying noticeable errors due to the maic deviation in the pr region, rendering it unusable.
Hence, for the rest of the journey, Feng Qi slowed down.
During this period, he constantly corrected his position based on his senses and memories.
Ever since his mental power had increased, his memory had improved quite a bit. He could remember the iconic objects along the way.
For example,rge rocks that were exposed to the snow.
After advancing non-stop for 28 hours, Feng Qi was still full of energy.
As for Mu Qing, she was not affected at all. This bit of stamina consumption was nothing to her.
On the other hand, Lu Yue was a little tired.
Lu Yue¡¯s physique was not particrly strong. His strongest attack method was the Sword Force, which had nothing to do with physical strength.
However, he did not say anything along the way and followed closely. Sensing Lu Yue¡¯s situation, Feng Qi chose to stop for the time being. The portable tent was put to use at this moment.
After setting up a portable tent in the nearby snow forest, he took out thepressed energy ointment and other food from his backpack.
The food tasted like wax.
However, the advantage was that it was easy to carry and could effectively replenish the energy consumed by the body and quickly recover stamina.
He was not in a hurry to head to the fog domain field.
After eating, Feng Qi chose to rest on the spot.
After returning to their tents to rest, Feng Qi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The area near the domain field was the ce where domain transcendent creatures wreaked havoc the most. Danger could appear at any time.
However, Feng Qi was not worried about this situation.
His sense of danger was instinctive. He could wake up at any time to deal with unexpected situations.
Furthermore, the three of them were not people ordinary domain creatures could challenge. Mu Qing was also guarding them.
No matter how many came, Mu Qing could easily crush them.
In an environment where the night was long and the day was short, their perception of time would weaken. After sleeping for more than to hours, they woke up one after another.
When Feng Qi walked out of the tent, he saw Mu Qing eating hardtack.
¡°Hungry?¡±
¡°A little, but I¡¯ll be fine after eating some biscuits.¡± Mu Qing admitted frankly without feeling embarrassed.
Mu Qing had long treated Feng Qi as her family.
In front of her family, there was no need to be too reserved.
At this moment, Lu Yue also came out of the tent. The fatigue in his eyes had disappeared.
¡°Let¡¯s move out. We¡¯re almost there.¡±
Then, the three of them began to reorganize themselves and continued to advance toward the fog domain field.
Finally, after half a day, they arrived at the area where the fog domain field was.
At the end of his line of sight, the domain light screen wrapped in thick fog stood there, connected to the sky.
¡°Follow ording to the n. Lu Yue, guard the outside. Mu Qing and I will go in to find Fog.¡±
Hearing his instructions, Mu Qing and Lu Yue immediately nodded.
Feng Qi¡¯s n was simple. He would show weakness first before being domineering.
Based on his understanding of Fog, if heunched a strong attack from the start, with Fog¡¯s cautiousness, it would have reservations and not dare to appear rashly.
If Mu Qmg¡¯sbat strength was too strong, Fog might even abandon the fog domain field and run away.
Letting Fog go was equivalent to burying a hidden danger for Star City and even human civilization.
Perhaps Fog, whose future had been changed, would not develop Flesh Sacrifice again. But with Fog¡¯s ability, it would still set up other terrifying hidden dangers in the future.
Therefore, the exploration of the fog domain field had to be stable.
He would first tempt Fog to take the bait before killing it. He would not give it a chance to leave.
Lu Yue was thest line of defense, deployed to eliminate Fog if it managed to escape from the fog domain field.
After repeating the n, Lu Yue hooked his finger gently. Immediately, Jian
Lan, who was behind him, let out a cry and floated beside him.
Unsheathing Jian Lan, a sharp sword aura circled Lu Yue.
Feng Qi and Mu Qing, who had taken off their skiing equipment, also walked towards the fog domain field.
When their bodies came into contact with the fog domain field barrier, they felt a slight resistance, before easily passing through it.
As far as the eye could see, it was covered by thick fog.
No matter how strong his night vision was, he could not see the scene in front of him.
But Mu Qing was an exception.
Her gaze was like a torch, able to easily prate the materialized fog and see the scene in the distance.
¡°Ah Qi, there are many wandering ghosts in the fog,¡± Mu Qing reminded him.
¡°Our target is Fog. Don¡¯t worry about the ghosts. They are all transformed from the souls of Fog¡¯s dead nsmen.¡±
Apart from Fog¡¯s nsmen, there were also many spiritual nts unique to the fog domain field.
As they advanced, they saw a blood-colored flower blooming in the fog. There was a faint blood mist lingering on the petals, emitting a rich fragrance.
Fog had introduced this blood-colored flower before.
There were two sources of food for the Fog Race in the domain world. One was weak races raised in captivity.
Just as humans raised livestock in captivity, the Fog Race had also captured a group of races, evaluating them based on meat quality, blood and Qi strength, and blood and Qi quality.
It was like humans letting livestock listen to soothing music to improve their mood and thus improve the quality of their meat.
The captured group of races raised by the Fog Race would also grow up in joy.
However, they would eventually be food for the Fog Race.
Another way to obtain blood and Qi was to eat the blood-colored flowers that covered the fog domain field. Eating this flower could allow one to obtain high-purity blood and Qi.
In the previous timeline, while working at the steelworks factory with Fog, Fog had often expressed its longing for the ¡°blood orchids¡± in his hometown. Heined that the food humans ate was trash and that they might not even be willing to eat the blood food that was fed to them.
Amid the thick fog, many memories shed through his mind.
In the previous timeline, Fog had turned into fog more than once to envelop him and carry him in flight or turn into fog to protect his safety.
But in this timeline, they were destined to be enemies.
After advancing a distance, Feng Qi suddenly stopped.
He felt the throbbing of his blood as if a mysterious power was stirring the
blood in his body and trying to control its cirction.
With such a familiar ability appearing, he knew that Fog was here.
At this moment, he had two options. The first was to transform into his Blood Source form and turn his blood into blood-colored energy to form a physical body. The second was to switch to his Skeletal form.
But he didn¡¯t choose to do so.
If he were to fish out Fog, he had to make sacrifices.
He gave up struggling and let out a painful wail. The blood in his body flowed out through his pores and was sucked away by the mysterious power in the fog.
Looking at Feng Qi who was struggling in pain, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly shouted.
¡°Ah Qi, what¡¯s wrong? Are you alright?¡±
He was powerless toin about Mu Qing¡¯s melodramatic acting.
However, at this moment, hoarse and sinisterughter and murmurs came from the ck fog.
This voice seemed to have a magical power that constantly stirred the fear in
his heart. It could effectively reduce one¡¯sbat strength.
However, the moment this voice sounded, Feng Qi and Mu Qing locked onto Fog¡¯s location.
¡°I¡¯m here, Friend!¡±
Mu Qing also raised her fist at this moment, and her body was instantly
enveloped by jade-colored light..
Chapter 628 - 628: Uncompromising Life (1)
Chapter 628: Upromising Life (1)

A hoarse and low demonic voice came from the thick gray fog.
This was a mental attack ability of the owner of the fog.
Demonic sounds could arouse fear and other negative emotions in the prey¡¯s heart and effectively weaken theirbat strength.
This move was very effective against weak-willed prey.
At the same time, this ability could also test the strength of the prey.
The stronger one was, the stronger their willpower would be, and the harder it would be to be corroded by the mental bewitchment ability.
After Feng Qi and Mu Qing stepped into the fog domain field, they sensed the existence of the owner of the fog.
When the whispers sounded, they urately locked onto the location of the owner of the fog.
This was the best time to attack.
If he continued to show weakness, he would probably not see the owner of the fog until he died.
Fog¡¯s method of killing its prey was to use the gray fog to absorb the prey¡¯s blood. There was no need for it to appear personally.
When he was growing up with Fog, thetter loved to read human myths. He understood the structure and development of human society from the aspect of origin.
During this period, he learned about a creature called Vampire.
Fog had once ridiculed mythical creatures that needed to suck blood, deeming their methods as crude and susceptible to being easily defeated by enemies who feigned death.
It felt that only controlling blood and Qi was the most effective way to absorb blood.
Therefore, after locking onto Fog¡¯s location, he had to attack decisively. If he were too slow, things would change.
Hearing Feng Qi¡¯s shout, Mu Qing instantly entered abat state.
A jade-colored stream of light quickly enveloped her body. Her blood and Qi surged like a scorching sun rising, forcing back the surrounding gray fog.
Mu Qing swung her fist.
A hurricane surged forward, its formidable fist pressure distorting the air. The powerful force gushed out, tearing apart the thick fog in its path.
The sharp wind hurt Feng Qi¡¯s face and he could not help but squint.
Boom!
Like a thunderp, the violent power pushed away the fog and created a nk area more than a thousand feet long.
A familiar foggy face appeared at the end.
Its expression was stunned. It was surprised that the prey in its eyes would suddenly erupt with such terrifying power.
In a moment of surprise, the ground beneath Mu Qing¡¯s feet abruptly sank and erupted. In an instant, she vanished from the location, only to reappear right in front of the foggy face.
A terrifying pressure suddenly approached. The owner of the fog reacted quickly and moved back.
But Mu Qing¡¯s second punch followed.
The fist intent locked onto the retreating owner of the fog and suddenly struck out.
The dense blood and Qi that was as dazzling as the sun burned the fog until it sizzled and melted.
This punch seemed to be a physical attack, but it contained terrifying energy, especially Mu Qing¡¯s blood and Qi that was as dense as the sun. It was extremely damaging to the fog.
Even the owner of the fog could not easily absorb and consume such strong blood and Qi.
Even though her fist didn¡¯t make contact with the owner of the fog, the gust of wind and the jade-hued streak of light that emanated from her punch transformed into shadowy fists, striking the fog abruptly.
The foggy face couldn¡¯t evenst a second before it exploded.
However, the foggy face quickly reformed in the air. It red at Mu Qing, who was clenching her fists, and asked coldly.
¡°There¡¯s no grudge between us. Why are you doing this?!¡±
¡°We indeed have no grudges, but your good friend wants to kill you. I¡¯m just doing it for him!¡± Mu Qing said.
Feng Qi, who heard this from afar, cursed in his heart.
Who did she learn this from?!
Upon hearing this, the owner of the fog was stunned.
It was certain that no such person existed.
Its nsmen had already died in battle while opening the path. It was the only one who had brought the core of the fog domain field to the mortal world. How could it have any good friend?
Thinking of this, it immediately said in a deep voice.
¡°I think there¡¯s been a misunderstanding. You¡¯ve got the wrong target!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no misunderstanding¡ªit¡¯s you!¡± A crystalline jade-colored stream of light surfaced on Mu Qing¡¯s body, and the blood within her surged with a tidal-like roar as her body entered a high-intensity state.
¡°Tell me, who is he?¡±
¡°Feng Qi!¡±
After yelling that, Mu Qing suddenly waved her fist, and the fist shadow that suddenly formed instantly shattered the foggy face.
Before the owner of the fog could condense again, jade-colored streams of light and fist shadows arrived one after another.
Under the continuous bombardment, the energy stored in the gray fog was greatly consumed, and the owner of the fog could no longer condense its body again.
It realized that it would be at a disadvantage if this battle continued.
The surrounding fog began to quickly shrink and gather.
Countless ghost ws made of gray fog descended from the sky.
At the same time, the figure of a handsome youth with purple hair and purple eyes appeared in the gray fog and finally condensed.
The moment his body condensed, he suddenly disappeared from the spot, dodging Mu Qing¡¯s punches.
But before he could stabilize himself, Mu Qing¡¯s figure had already appeared behind him.
Boom!
The solid punchnded at the owner of the fog¡¯s head. Its body tilted and was smashed to the ground, its entire head sinking into the soil.
When Mu Qing¡¯s follow-up attack was about tond, the owner of the fog¡¯s body suddenly spread out and turned into fog, coiling around Mu Qing¡¯s body to restrain her.
The gray fog made a sizzling sound when it came into contact with the jade-colored mist on Mu Qing¡¯s body and began to quickly melt.
The owner of the fog¡¯s power was countered by Mu Qing.
Feng Qi realized that the owner of the fog was not weak at this moment. The injuries it suffered when challenging the Path to Heaven had recovered. It was far from the weak state where its origin had been damaged..

In the battle with Mu Qing in the previous timeline, the owner of the fog recuperated for many years.
The main reason was that its origin had been damaged.
During that period, the owner of the fog¡¯sbat strength had decreased greatly.
Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have to risk its life to protect him.
Feng Qi didn¡¯t anticipate that the fog¡¯s owner could resist Mu Qing¡¯s attack.
He had not seen the battle in the fog with his own eyes and was not very sure.
However, he had checked the relevant information.
Mu Qing¡¯s teammates on the exploration mission observed that when she witnessed the fog¡¯s owner attacking her team, she quickly entered a state of losing control.
At that time, Mu Qing¡¯sbat strength had increased exponentially, easily suppressing the owner of the fog and defeating it.
Thinking of this, he could understand why the current owner of the fog would still struggle in Mu Qing¡¯s hands.
The influence of the timeline was huge.
Under normal circumstances, Mu Qing¡¯s battle with the owner of the fog should have taken ce two and a half yearster.
In the context of three meals a day, a span of two and a half years would epass 912 days, equivalent to a total of 2,737 meals.
Mu Qing¡¯sbat strength increased rapidly by eating. At this time, she was still far from the peak of the Dawn army, and there was still a certain gap between herbat strength and two and a half yearster.
Fortunately, Mu Qing¡¯s current strength could easily suppress the owner of the fog.
Under Mu Qing¡¯s powerful attack, the owner of the fog was at a disadvantage.
It could only rely on the blood essence energy stored in the gray fog to constantly repair its body, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack.
The sudden appearance of the enemy filled the fog¡¯s owner with ten thousand curses.
During this period, it had been paying attention to the fusion of the fog domain field and the human world. It was also waiting for the fusion to bepleted before expanding the domain field.
Although it had lost its nsmen, it believed that with its ability, it could quickly establish its foundation by expanding its domain field and constantly recruiting weak ns.
At that time, it would use the blood of the weak to revive its nsmen.
It was not that the future of the Fog Race did not have a chance to turn the tables.
However, seeing that the rules of the fog domain field were about to fuse with this world and that the expansion n would beunched in recent years, it did not expect to be suddenly attacked.
If Mu Qing¡¯s goal was clear, it would feel better.
The issue was that it believed she had unmistakably identified the wrong adversary.
What good friend? When did I have one?!
The owner of the fog, who thought that it had been misunderstood, raged. During its time in the domain world, it had encountered discussions about luck.
Ever since leading its nsmen to pave a path, the Fog Race appeared to be under a curse. It seemed as though the n¡¯s luck had been depleted, ushering in a streak of misfortune.
First, when it was opening the path, it encountered a group of terrifyingly powerful obstacles.
After a bitter battle, it had to sacrifice all its nsmen to sessfully open a path. However, it was the only one who had passed through the world barrier. Aftering to the human world, ity dormant here and recuperated.
It waited for the opportunity to arrive.
Unexpectedly, before it could start its domain field expansion n, it encountered an enemy who suddenly came knocking on its door.
Moreover, the enemy was extremely powerful.
The enemy that arrived at its doorstep, without inquiring about the reason and outright expressing a desire to kill it, would have been a more tolerable scenario.
After all, thew of the jungle was universal in any world.
I don¡¯t need any reason to kill you. I just do it because I¡¯m strong.
However, the problem was that the enemy had said that she was sent by its good friend. It was apparent that she got the wrong target.
Thinking of this, the owner of the fog felt even worse.
Against Mu Qing¡¯s suppression, it attempted resistance, but her abilitypletely restrained it.
The gray fog that had always seeded in enveloping Mu Qing¡¯s body was hke butter in the face of a raging fire. It quickly melted and could not restrain Mu Qing at all.
This made it think of escaping.
Its wish to revive its nsmen had yet to be fulfilled. Facing Mu Qing, who was stronger, it could not see any hope of winning. If it continued to fight and waited for its blood and Qi to be exhausted, it would only die.
Where there was life, there was hope.
Without the fog domain field, it would not have the home ground advantage, but at least it would survive.
Anything was possible in the future.
But what made it feel ufortable was that Mu Qing would shatter its fog body every time she attacked, it could not escape from her.
With suppressed emotions, the owner of the fog looked at Feng Qi, who was watching the battle from afar.
It was certain that the person in question belonged to the same group as the woman standing before it.
It instantly had the thought of using Feng Qi to threaten Mu Qing.
Without much hesitation, it began to control the fog in the distance to surround Feng Qi.
Simr methods had happened in the previous timeline.
Facing Mu Qing¡¯s suppression, the owner of the fog, who could not find a way to deal with it, chose to attack the team, trying to distract Mu Qing and find an opportunity.
Regrettably, not only did this move not seed but it also caused Mu Qing to lose control and herbat strength to increase terrifyingly.
From suppression to a violent beating.
Under the control of the owner of the fog, the gray fog quickly enveloped Feng Qi-
The terrifying corrosive power caused ck spots to appear on the surface of Feng Qi¡¯s body, and the blood and Qi in his body were sucked away by the gray fog.
Just as the owner of the fog wanted to use this as a threat, something unexpected happened.
The gray fog chains wrapped around Feng Qi¡¯s limbs were snapped. The blood and Qi in Feng Qi¡¯s body were no longer under its control. It began to quickly gather on the surface of his body, forming flesh and blood tissue..

In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi turned into a blood-colored giant more than 9 feet tall.
She winked at him from afar and ran towards him at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Mu Qing¡¯s fist wind also attacked.
Facing the attack, the owner of the fog subconsciously dodged.
It barely dodged the attack, but the aftershock still dispersed arge part of the gray fog.
But at this moment, Feng Qi¡¯s figure appeared in front of it and his blood-colored fist suddenly smashed down.
In the face of a sneak attack, the owner of the fog condensed a gray fog fist and collided with Feng Qi¡¯s.
Boom!
The impact spread out with them as the center, pushing away theyers of gray fog.
Right on the heels of that, the fog fist of the owner of the fog dissipated, and Mu Qing moved behind it, scattering its body.
Under the continuous attacks, the owner of the fog felt helpless.
It thought that Feng Qi was the weaker target. After all, he had not made a move.
It did not expect him to be so powerful.
Now that the two of them had joined forces, it had no hope of winning.
With its strong desire to live, it decisively chose to consume its origin power in an attempt to break out.
The gray fog turned blood-red under the wash of blood and Qi. A huge blood and Qi giant slowly condensed and pped Feng Qi away.
Looking at the blood-colored giant condensed from blood and Qi, Feng Qi had aplicated expression.
A simr scene had once happened in Former Days City.
At that time, to save him, the owner of the fog had risked its life to exhaust its origin power to fight.
Complicated emotions surged in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and chose to pounce on the owner of the fog.
His soft-heartedness at this moment felt like a betrayal to all his peers on this sacrifice timeline.
He was carrying everyone¡¯s hope. He had to be ruthless and kill the owner of the fog, not giving it any chance to escape.
Confronted by thebined attacks of Feng Qi and Mu Qing, the fog¡¯s owner attempted to ascend into the sky, only to be scattered and then gathered once more.
The gathering of the blood fog became more strenuous. The owner of the fog struggled like a hungry wolf.
Its endless desire for life made it unwilling to die here.
It had unlimited ambitions for the future and a wish to revive its nsmen.
Everything had yet to happen.
But this time, facing Feng Qi and Mu Qing¡¯s joint attack, it had no chance of escaping, not to mention that Lu Yue was waiting outside.
Under the frenzied attacks, the healing speed of the blood fog giant continued to weaken.
Finally, a portion of the blood fog giant¡¯s body could no longer support it.
Amid the blood-colored light, the purple-haired and purple-eyed youth stared at them fiercely, his eyes filled with resentment.
¡°I won¡¯t fall¡ Never!¡±
Under Mu Qing¡¯s heavy attack, the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes became blurry as it muttered to itself in a pleading manner.
Its words were filled with endless longing for ¡°life¡±.
While its consciousness was in a daze, the scenes from opening the path appeared in its mind.
It was as if time and space were intertwined. The past shed through its mind like a slideshow.
That year, it stood in front of the gray fog throne in a gray fog battle robe. The lights in front of it were as bright as day, and countless nsmen bowed.
At that time, it swore to the entire nsmen.
It had to lead its nsmen to stand at the peak of the mountains until they transcended the cycle of life and death and weed a glorious, eternal future.
The bold words and ambitions of that time were still vivid in its mind.
When its life was in danger, it looked up at the sky and reached out to grab the stars in the sky, trying to grab an unattainable chance of survival. Its swaying body seemed to copse at any moment.
Roar!
Like a dying light, it gazed at the sky and executed its final, upromising move. Time seemed to freeze in that moment, causing Feng Qi¡¯s heart to tremble uncontrobly.
The memories of growing up with the owner of the fog surfaced in his mind.
From the snow-covered front line to the days of coboration in Winterfrost, then to the Former Days Supply Area where they acquainted themselves with the bottom-level fishing warriors, followed by the journey to the Death Star Combat Team¡ and ultimately to their years in the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The owner of the fog once stood at the top of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters building and pointed at the rising red sun.
¡°Ah Qi, when I reach the peak in the future, I will have a spot for you by my side.¡±
When he asked the owner of the fog why it was determined to climb to the peak, the owner of the fog smiled and replied.
¡°At the peak of the mountain, I saw a huge river flowing. I felt that the wind was vast and mighty. There was the true freedom I wanted there. No one could decide the future of me and my nsmen!¡±
At that time, the owner of the fog¡¯s eyes were filled with yearning for the peak.
On the execution ground, the owner of the fog fought in front of him and carried him on its back.
When he asked why it hade, the owner of the fog replied with a smile.
¡°My nsmen are dead. You¡¯re the only family I have now. I¡¯ll take you home.¡±
In the end, the owner of the fog, with its infinite desire for life, trembled and told him that he would walk down the path for it and witness the true peak.
It even risked itsst breath to leave the Flesh Cauldron¡¯s trajectory to him.
Itsst wish before it died was that he could finally stand at the peak and help it admire the scenery at the peak.
It was undeniable that the owner of the fog was cruel and heartless. It would resort to unscrupulous means for the sake of benefits. It treated all lives as chess pieces that could be controlled and sacrificed at will.
However, its feelings for him seemed so real.
Facing the owner of the fog, Feng Qi felt guilty.
Seeing his helpless and dazed appearance, Feng Qi¡¯s heart ached.
But he still chose to close his eyes.
Mu Qing¡¯s fist that was as zing as the sun smashed down at this moment¡
Chapter 631 - 631: Mysterious Miracle (1)
Chapter 631: Mysterious Miracle (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The jade-colored stream of light emitted a resplendent light, gradually devouring the owner of the fog¡¯s body and finally enveloping it.
Terrifying energy spread, raising a violent wind that swept in all directions.
Mu Qing¡¯s current strength was far from her peak.
From the historical information, it could be seen that Mu Qing¡¯s fastest growth period was when she entered the front line after graduation.
The front line was indeed cruel.
But to Mu Qing, who could devour and be stronger, it was like a hunting ground.
The quality of the food was far from what the Star City Academy couldpare to.
Her strength was also rapidly increasing as she hunted.
In the previous timeline, the owner of the fog, who had been paying attention to Mu Qing, hadmented more than once about the speed at which Mu Qing¡¯s strength increased. It felt that the gap between it and Mu Qing seemed to be getting wider.
But even so, Mu Qing¡¯s current strength could easily suppress the owner of the fog.
Under Mu Qing and Feng Qi¡¯s cooperation, the owner of the fog¡¯s struggle was futile.
The gray fog quickly dissipated, and the fist finally smashed fiercely into the owner of the fog¡¯s chest, prating the chest that could no longer be fogged.
Blood fog sttered.
The owner of the fog looked at Mu Qing in disbelief, its eyes filled with unwillingness.
It hade with high ambitions, but it did not expect it to end in such a lowly manner.
The light in its eyes gradually dimmed. In the end, its life faded away with its eyes opened.
Feng Qi also opened his eyes at this moment.
He looked at the owner of the fog with aplicated expression and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.
This feeling made him very ufortable.
The owner of the fog fulfilled all the definitions of viin in his heart. Cruel, sinister, despicable, and so on.
However, he never doubted Fog¡¯s feelings for him.
Looking at this problem from the perspective of the human race, he was right. This was putting righteousness before family, removing an obstacle to the rise and development of the human race.
But from the perspective of their rtionship.
His behavior was undoubtedly a tant betrayal.
Seemingly noticing the change in Feng Qi¡¯s emotions, Mu Qing retracted her right fist at this moment. As the jade-colored light on the surface of her body flickered, the blood on her right arm slid down.
At this moment, she caught the owner of the fog¡¯s body that was falling forward.
¡°Ah Qi, what do you n to do?¡±
Looking at the owner of the fog that had already lost its life, Feng Qi opened his mouth and was about to respond when a sudden change happened.
Muscle tissue grew out of the pierced chest of the owner of the fog, trying to repair its body.
At this moment, Mu Qing also noticed the change. A scarlet light shed in her eyes as she stabbed her hand into the owner of the fog¡¯s heart.
When she retracted her arm, a thumb-sized blood-colored gem appeared in her hand.
¡°What¡¯s this?¡±
Feng Qi was also stunned when he saw this blood-colored gem.
He suddenly thought of many strange things that happened to the owner of the fog in the previous timeline.
When he found the owner of the fog in the previous timeline, the owner of the fog¡¯s vitality had been exhausted. He was certain that it waspletely dead. Even its blood core had shattered and could not be repaired.
At that time, he thought that the viin line had failed in advance and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, signs of life suddenly appeared in the owner of the fog¡¯s body. The shattered blood core healed on its own.
This self-healing ability was mysterious. In the end, it sessfully revived the owner of the fog.
The second time was when he encountered the scavenger ¡°Sword Saint¡± in a vige outside Winterfrost.
At that time, the owner of the fog had just recovered a little and itsbat strength was even inferior to his. It still needed his protection.
However, just as he was on the verge of copse, the fog¡¯s owner suddenly recovered from numerous injuries and eliminated the scavenger.
The most conspicuous instance urred 1,500 yearster when Lin Ran battled the fog¡¯s owner, ultimately emerging victorious.
However, the owner of the fog¡¯s shattered consciousness strangely recovered.
There were many other simr situations.
In the preceding timeline, he had even jestingly told Fog that he possessed the protagonist temte and could consistently reverse the situation.
The owner of the fog had also analyzed the reason for this.
It thought that there might be a strange energy in its body that it did not notice.
This energy seemed to be able to change its willpower and enhance its body in certain aspects.
As for what this energy was, the owner of the fog couldn¡¯t tell.
In summary, the owner of the fog, who was almost unkible, was supported by a mysterious power.
Nevertheless, in the previousbat timeline, the fog¡¯s owner perished in the battle at Former Days City while protecting him. There were no more instances of revival.
So, what was the problem?
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the owner of the fog¡¯s origin.
Back then, to stop the pursuit of the various factions in Former Days City, the owner of the fog fused its origin into the blood fog and trapped the various factions, making it difficult for them to break free.
It was also because the owner of the fog had lost its blood core that it died.
So¡ the power that could resurrect the owner of the fog was hidden in the blood core?
Feng Qi¡¯s gazended on the blood-colored crystal in Mu Qing¡¯s hand.
This blood-colored crystal was the owner of the fog¡¯s blood core.
Logically speaking, in the high-intensity battle just now, the blood-colored energy in the blood core had been exhausted, and the color of the crystal should have be transparent.
However, at this moment, the blood core was still emitting rich blood and Qi energy.
Coupled with the fact that the owner of the fog¡¯s body was healing rapidly and only stopped when Mu Qing took out her blood core, he felt that his guess might be right..
Chapter 632 - 632: Mysterious Miracle (2)
Chapter 632: Mysterious Miracle (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The owner of the fog¡¯s blood core contained mysterious energy.
This was the key to the owner of the fog¡¯s continuous resurrection.
¡°Open it and take a look!¡± Feng Qi said at this moment.
Mu Qing did not hesitate. She immediately clenched her fist and gathered all her strength into her palm.
The force that clung to iron as if it were mud appeared to have reached a deadlock with the blood core. A mysterious power continued to emanate from within, thwarting Mu Qing¡¯s attempts to destroy the blood core.
In the stalemate, Mu Qing¡¯s eyes flickered with a scarlet light.
Her breathing began to change, and her emotions gradually rose.
Roar!
As her emotions reached a critical point, a blurry phantom of a ferocious beast materialized above her head seemingly out of thin air. It roared at the sky, and a formidable pressure descended.
Pow!
With a crisp cracking sound, the blood core was crushed by Mu Qing¡¯s violent power, and a blue ball of light appeared inside.
¡°Calm down.¡±
Just as Mu Qing¡¯s power was about to pour into the blue ball of light, Feng Qi reminded her.
Hearing his voice, the scarlet light in Mu Qing¡¯s eyes quickly faded, and she gradually recovered from her uncontroble state.
¡°Sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. Compared to before, you¡¯re better at controlling your emotions now. You¡¯re not far frompletely mastering it.¡± Smiling at the apologetic Mu Qing, Feng Qi reassured her.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Qing nodded obediently. Then, she opened her palm and handed the blue ball of light to him.
¡°Ah Qi, what¡¯s this?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure, but I suspect that this might be a miracle item.¡±
Hearing his exnation, a curious look appeared in Mu Qing¡¯s eyes.
Although she had always heard it from Feng Qi, this was the first time she had seen a miracle item.
Looking at the blue ball of light in Mu Qing¡¯s palm, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
The reason why he guessed that this blue ball of light was a miracle item was not groundless.
In the previous viin timeline, when he was growing up with Fog, Fog had been ambushed by blue-skinned assassins more than once.
ording to the known intelligence, the blue-skinned assassin would only attack creatures with miracle items.
Fog did not know this, but Feng Qi knew very well after experiencing many timelines.
Back then, he had guessed that Fog might have a miracle item.
Furthermore, Fog didn¡¯t even know that it had this miracle item.
This was because Fog had always believed that the iplete blood stone it had snatched during the escort mission was the first miracle item it had obtained.
After summarizing all the clues, Feng Qi felt that he might have found the answer.
Fog had a miracle item in its body, which was the blue ball of light in Mu Qing¡¯s palm. It had always been hidden in the owner of the fog¡¯s blood core.
This was also the reason why the blue-skinned assassin had killed the owner of the fog many times.
Their actual goal was the miracle item in Fog¡¯s body, which was the blue ball of light.
As for the effect of this miracle item, he suspected that it had something to do with willpower. It could use willpower to create power out of thin air.
Fog¡¯s willpower to not submit to death, coupled with this miracle item, allowed it to revive from death time and time again.
However, this was merely his spection. The precise answer, he knew, would only be unveiledter.
He took the blue ball of light from Mu Qing¡¯s hand and looked at it carefully. He had another question.
Why didn¡¯t Fog know that this miracle item was in its body?
The question sent him into deep thought.
As he carefully observed the blue ball of light in his hand, an idea suddenly shed through his mind.
He recalled that when he asked Fog about the origins of the miracle item, Fog had given him a guess.
It said that the miracle item was very likely formed by the Pir Gods¡¯ origin power.
Only the Pir Gods had the power to transcend the natural rules.
However, regarding the authenticity of this guess, Fog expressed that it was purely an idea. There was no evidence to prove it.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that Fog¡¯s guess might be right.
Fog had once said that the rise of the Fog Race was rted to an ancestor.
The first-generation founding ancestor of the Fog Race was a ve nurtured by a domain powerhouse. The purpose of its existence was to toil in the dark, underground spirit mine and supply ceaseless spirit ores to the powerful race that subjugated it.
Until one day, its ancestor identally dug up an ore that had the blood of the Pir Gods left on it.
Its ancestors could not resist the temptation of the Pir Gods¡¯ power. It consumed the blood and obtained a portion of the Pir Gods¡¯ power.
The subsequent development followed a trajectory akin to the protagonist¡¯s temte.
It advanced rapidly and created the Fog Race. It led its nsmen to defeat the powerful races that had once enved it. At its peak, it ruled several domain worlds. Arge number of races became ves of the Fog Race.
From this, it could be seen that there was a chance that the bloodline of the Fog Race contained the hidden power of the Pir Gods.
Moreover, this power was difficult to reveal.
Numerous generations separated Fog from the first-generation ancestor, yet it was usible that he had inherited the power of the Pir Gods. Furthermore, that single drop of origin blood eventually transformed, through generations of session, into the blue ball of light in his hand¡ªan item that evolved into a miraculous item.
If this guess were correct, it would also exin why Fog didn¡¯t know that it had a miracle item in its body.
After all, miracle items took the form of bloodline inheritance, existing since its birth and growing alongside it. They were not externally imnted but rather an integral part of its being, distinct from the blood stones acquiredter.
During that time in Former Days City, the fog¡¯s owner relinquished the blood core and escorted him out, leading to the loss of support from the mysterious power and ultimately resulting in the owner of the fog¡¯s demise..

Chapter 633: Mysterious Miracle (3)

If this spection held, and the owner of the fog hadn¡¯t chosen to abandon the blood core at that time, it might not have met its end. Regardless of the severity of its injuries, there was a substantial likelihood of revival.
However, this was only his guess based on the information he had.
The exact answer could only be known through subsequent verification.
At this moment, he clenched the blue ball of light in his hand and cast his gaze at the owner of the fog¡¯s body which no longer showed any signs of life.
He took two steps forward and took the owner of the fog from Mu Qing.
One dayter, in the depths of the snow forest 20 miles away from Former Days Supply Area.
Heavy snow fell, bending the nearby branches.
The surroundings reflected the dazzling stars in the sky.
The snow in the depths of the snow forest had been swept away, and the nearby trees had been cut down to clear a space.
A stone tablet stood in the middle of the space. The words ¡°Owner of The Fog¡± were engraved on it.
Brother: Feng Qi
In front of the tombstone, the bonfire danced and swayed. Feng Qi broke branches and added them to the bonfire from time to time.
Mu Qing and Lu Yue stood not far behind him and looked at him quietly.
The branches crackled as the mes calcined them.
At this moment, all kinds of fruits and food were ced in front of the tombstone.
He had bought this food from the supply area to offer to the owner of the fog.
In the previous timeline, Fog had told him with a smile.
The Fog Race had a tradition that was very simr to humans.
That was to pay respects to the deceased ancestors and rtives and use food to worship them.
Fog also conveyed that death wasn¡¯t a total dispersal; rather, being forgotten was.
They often paid respects to their perished nsmen and rtives so that they would not forget the traces of their existence. This way, their heroic spirits would not disappear and would always protect the growth of their race.
Other than that, there was another rule among the Fog Race.
Eat the tribute of the sacrificed.
There were two meanings to this.
1. After eating the food worshiped, one can obtain the protection of one¡¯s deceased family and friends.2. Sharing food with the deceased is a form of respect for them.
Therefore, every time after a sacrifice, the Fog Race would eat the tributes in big mouthfuls. The atmosphere was happy because they always believed that their dead nsmen still existed and only apanied them in a different form.
They could not let the dead feel that they were being treated differently.
At this moment, Feng Qi took out paper money from his backpack and started to throw it into the bonfire.
¡°Fog, I apologize for this timeline. I¡¯ll burn more paper money for you. Even though I¡¯m unsure about the existence of theherworld, it¡¯s better to be prepared¡¡±
As he muttered, he burned the paper money he had prepared to ashes.
Ashes danced and intertwined with white snowkes. The atmosphere was a little solemn.
Looking at Feng Qi who was mumbling to himself, Mu Qing and Lu Yue, who were standing not far away, had serious expressions.
Although they had not experienced that timeline, they understood that Fog had sacrificed a lot for Feng Qi.
Three hours passed.
As Mu Qing and Lu Yue were preparing to intervene and ask Feng Qi to leave, they witnessed him reaching out to grab the offerings ced in front of the owner of the fog¡¯s tombstone and devouring them with a cheerful smile on his face.
Mu Qing and Lu Yue were speechless.
They, who did not know about the ritual of the Fog Race, were stunned.
In the sacrificial tradition of Star City, eating offerings was disrespectful to the dead, not to mention that Feng Qi was eating with a smile.
¡°They sure are¡ good friends¡¡± Lu Yue, who had been silent all this while, said a few words.
¡°Perhaps this is a custom of the Fog Race¡ Anyway, Ah Qi must have been a good friend.¡± Mu Qing exined awkwardly.

Considering the fog¡¯s owner was a domain creature, itcked the privilege to enter Winterfrost¡¯s cemetery.
Of course, they were not qualified to enter the martyrs too.
It was not appropriate to bury the owner of the fog in the human cemetery.
Feng Qi knew about this.
Therefore, he chose to bury the owner of the fog in the snow forest outside Winterfrost and built a tombstone for it.
The night breeze blew out the bonfire.
Feng Qi stood in front of the owner of the fog¡¯s tombstone and thought about the past.
When he grew up with the owner of the fog, the owner of the fog taught him many things.
Before he met Fog, thetter in his heart was pure evil.
However, in the previous viin timeline, he saw the struggle, determination, ideals, and ambition of Fog to lead its nsmen to the peak.
Responsibility, kinship, friendship¡ Although the owner of the fog was an antagonist, it also had various personalities that humans called outstanding.
At the end of the day, it was just that their stances were different.
Fog had given him two things in that timeline.
After losing his arm, he was given a new blood-colored arm. The other was the Miracle Bracelet that they had risked their lives to snatch from the ck
Absolute Domain Field.
Fog had once said that regenerating an arm meant a bright future, and the Miracle Bracelet meant sharing blessings.
However, he always thought that there was a limit to how much Fog valued rtionships.
No matter what, with its stable personality, it would still choose to give up when he had no choice.
For example, when he was sent to the Former Days City¡¯s execution ground.
He firmly believed that Fog would avenge him, but it would nevere to save him.
This was not something that Fog would do.
But it came to rescue him.
At that time, he was touched.
Ultimately, before its demise, Fog left him with a reminder infused with a longing for life and hopeful anticipation.
It was as if it wanted to pass on its dream to him.
He had the intention to change Fog, but not this in timeline.
If he could pull Fog into the human camp, with his understanding of Fog, it would be of great help to humans.
The most terrifying thing about Fog was not itsbat strength, but its intelligence and strategy.
There were many experts in history.
Ye Huang, Scavenging Sword Saint, Mu Qing, Lu Yue, Mu Yao, and so on. Numerous experts had left behind legendary chapters in history, but they had also concluded their own stories.
Only the owner of the fog remained in the world 1,500 yearster.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the final victor.
At least in the future scenarios he saw, the owner of the fog was the only one who seeded.
After all, survival was a victory.
If he could ally with Fog, it would be of great help to the entire human camp. However, it was still too early to ally. There were still many conditions that needed to be resolved.
However, these questions were not in his consideration.
He only needed to walk his path on thisbat timeline. ¡°Fog, I¡¯m almost done eating. I¡¯ll leave first. I¡¯ll visit you again if I¡¯m still alive next year.¡±
After taking another deep look at the tombstone, Feng Qi turned around and left.
Seeing this, Mu Qing and Lu Yue immediately followed behind him.
His silhouette gradually vanished into the distance, slowly enveloped by the snow and wind, leaving no trace behind¡
After dealing with the owner of the fog¡¯s funeral, Feng Qi, Mu Qing, and Lu Yue boarded the ne to Star City.
Now that the owner of the fog was dead, the potential hidden dangers of Star
City had been eliminated.
The development of thebat timeline would also be on the right track.
The cruel war was ready. Everything was waiting for the right time.
Now that the Scarlet Research Institute had already hidden in the secret base in advance and was isted from the world, Feng Qi no longer had anyst worries.
Feng Qi¡¯s next n was clear.
On the inside.
The weak race alliance had already capitted. He no longer needed to fret about external forces obtaining information about the situation in Star City, nor did he need to be concerned that Breaking Dawn¡¯s swift progress would attract undue attention from external entities.
In the next few months, Breaking Dawn entered a state of rapid development. With the Tiger Soul Research Institute as the core, Breaking Dawn kept recruiting knowledgeable people to expand their influence.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute no longer used all its resources on cultivation techniques and spells.
Using most of the resources to nurturebat-oriented talents was the mam theme of the coboration between the organizations in Star City.
After all, the research of cultivation was essentially to nurture more outstanding and powerful warriors from a long-term perspective.
However, thisbat timeline did not have long-term considerations. It only fought for time.
Everyone who knew the truth understood one thing. They would all be stepping stones on the path to their ideals.
Sacrifices were inevitable.
The meaning of Breaking Dawn also changed during this period.
Everyone gradually understood that Breaking Dawn was not an organization, but amon goal.
As the director of the Scarlet Research Institute had mentioned, he was indeed a member of Breaking Dawn. Every individual within the Scarlet Research Institute counted as a member of Breaking Dawn, and all their colleagues were also part of Breaking Dawn.
Hence, Breaking Dawn operated more like a coalition united by a shared objective.
During this period, Breaking Dawn¡¯s influence increased drastically.
In just five months, Feng Qi hadpleted the connections between the various factions in Star City.
The military, the Tiger Soul Research Institute, and other small organizations were all connected.
To ensure that the cooperation would proceed efficiently, Feng Qi proposed the interconnection of the databases of the variousrge factions.
In simpler terms, they would establish apletely new database without configuring internal permission areas for individual members.
However, there was a hidden danger in doing so..

If there were an undetected hidden domain faction inside, much secret information inside would be known by this hidden domain faction.
Hence, Feng Qi set up an authorization system.
In the context of sharing information, a step-by-step authority system was set up. Among them, Breaking Dawn, Star City Military, and the Tiger Soul Research Institute were the first echelons with the authority to read all the information.
Thepetencies of the other institutions were ranked down.
However, data among members of the same tier would be fully shared, with no more defensive lines established.
The first benefit of doing this was that the development of the various institutions in Star City would be boosted.
Much of the information that was originally unavable could also be consulted and obtained, including confidential information.
However, what Feng Qi was most concerned about was how to gather strength.
In thebat timeline, strength came first.
He felt that just the military¡¯s strength was far from enough.
After all, Future City also had military strength. Coupled with all kinds of high-tech weapons, it was difficult for Star City to win the battle on the enemy¡¯s home ground.
There was a spy, Li Xingchen, in Future City.
However, the military power of Future City was always in the hands of the ck shadow behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The Star City Military had no chance of winning in the enemy¡¯s home ground.
How to quickly increase thebat power of Star City? Feng Qi thought of other hidden human forces.
Now, he had a list of hidden human forces.
Among them, 13 factions were confirmed to be reliable. He could not guarantee the reliability of the rest.
This list came from the previous resistance timeline.
In that timeline, he established Breaking Dawn and chose to confess the truth to the world.
He revealed the fact that human society was riddled with holes in an attempt to awaken the world and counterattack against the hidden domain factions.
However, what he said turned into ¡°mongering¡± and was suppressed by the influence of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, there were still some humans who chose to step forward.
The Prajna Organization behind the monk was one of them.
When he was sent to the guillotine, 13 factions took the initiative to stand up.
Most of the other organizations came forwardter.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute, which was controlled by the owner of the fog, was one of the factions.
Fog¡¯s actions were purely adding insult to injury. It did not mean that it was a hidden human force.
That was why Feng Qi thought that the 13 factions that stood up first were reliable.
Considering the decision to stand up at that moment, one could only imagine the immense pressure they faced. There was a high probability of being obliterated by concentrated fire.
As for what would happen next, there would be many people who had the same thoughts as Fog. They only wanted to take advantage of the situation and destroy a potential opponent.
In conclusion, Feng Qi decided to rope in the 13 factions on the list first.
The remaining forces, falling between reliable and unreliable, were temporarily categorized as unreliable.
After nning the next development, Feng Qi sent Monk, Yang Xiaoxin, Cai Guo, and Lin Ran to recruit the 13 factions on the list.
A monthter, Feng Qi received a piece of good news.
Monk had brought the news back.
The Prajna Domain Combat Team decided to move to Star City from the Former Days Northern Supply Area and officially join Breaking Dawn.
As one of the top 10bat teams, the Prajna Domain Combat Team was very powerful.
After learning this news, Feng Qi was even more confident in resisting the Science and Technology Research Institute.
In the following months, good news followed.
The reason why these hidden human forces chose to hide was because they knew the truth, but they did not dare to expose it.
Feng Qi understood their thoughts.
The truth was a double-edged sword. When the dark truth was revealed, the bright aspects of human nature would alsoe to light.
During this period, people would stand up and choose not topromise. They would choose to continue fighting, wanting to open up an ideal path for humanity.
Many heroes and heroes could also be recorded in history.
History proved that where there was oppression, there was resistance.
However, these hidden human forces understood one thing; choosing to tell the truth to the world was essentially a huge gamble.
The disparity in strength between ally and foe was too great.
If they failed, they would lose the future of all mankind.
The impact of this was too great. How could they dare to stand up and announce the truth?
Furthermore, even announcing the truth might not be effective. After all, the hidden domain factions had infiltrated all aspects of human society and had a huge influence.
With so many reasons, these hidden human forces could only choose to endure.
They could not afford to gamble, let alone dare to.
At this moment, learning that Breaking Dawn had appeared was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving them a trace of hope in their despair.
Feng Qi was not surprised that the hidden human forces hade to Star City one after another and joined Breaking Dawn.
The experience of multiple timelines made him understand that this was inevitable.
The addition of these hidden human forces also proved that he was never alone.
Feng Qi was preparing for the uing confrontation with the Science and Technology Research Institute.
In the Star City West District.
Being one of the four major districts of Star City, the Western District primarily housed industries in the energy sector, supplying electricity and other forms of energy to various regions.
The energy-rted Spiritual Materials Research Institute was also located in the Western District.
For example, the new spiritual mine produced by the domain field would be sent to a few energy research institutes in the Western District for analysis and research. After analyzing the detailed attributes, it would be recorded in the database and be a part of the resource index.
Historically, these energy research institutes contributed greatly to the construction and development of humankind.
The first power station powered by spiritual stones of human civilization was nned and built by the Star Energy Research Institute in the West District of Star City.
At this moment, at the top of an energy tower in the Western District.
A humanoid life form with long silver-white hair sat atop the tower crane, ying an instrument resembling a flute while gazing at the setting sun on the horizon.
The melody was harmonious, resembling the sounds of nature. It seemed to influence the afterglow of the setting sun.
When the music stopped, the afterglow of the setting sun dissipated in the western sky.
At this moment, the air around the boy was distorted. Then, a figurended beside him.
The person who arrived was a humanoid woman with long silver-white hair. She bent down and caressed the silver-haired boy¡¯s head. She smiled and said. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±
¡°When can we go back?¡± The silver-haired boy raised his head, a hint of worry appearing on his young face.
¡°I¡¯ve told you many times that we won¡¯t go back.¡± At this point, the silver-haired woman paused for a moment before continuing.
¡°But one day in the future, they wille. At that time, we can reunite.¡±
¡°When?¡± As he spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on the silver-haired boy¡¯s face.
¡°When the time is right.¡±
¡°How long do we have to wait?¡±
Faced with the question, the silver-haired woman caressed the boy¡¯s head again and smiled.
¡°This is a major event that concerns the future of our race. Don¡¯t be willful. Only when the time is ripe can they bring their entire race here and have a higher starting point for growth. We¡¯re working hard for this.¡±
¡°Why can¡¯t theye with us?¡±
¡°The path here is perilous, and the n is staking its future on this gamble. If we encounter those immensely powerful individuals blocking our way, our entire n might face utter destruction.¡±
When the silver-haired boy heard that, he nodded in confusion before continuing to ask.
¡°Why didn¡¯t we run into anyone?¡±
¡°Because we split into several groups and took different routes. Our team is very lucky. We arrived in this world without encountering anyone blocking our way,¡± the silver-haired woman exined patiently.
¡°Why do we have to start a massacre when we¡¯re here? Do we have to hurt them?¡± As he spoke, the boy looked at the busy workers below the energy tower.
¡°As the vanguard that arrived in this world, you mustprehend that you carry the fate of the entire race. Presently, our world confronts an unparalleled crisis. The force is poised to descend and consume our world at any moment. We have no alternative. This world is our future abode and the final bulwark against the force.¡±
¡°If we wish to survive, we must eliminate unnecessaryplications. There¡¯s nothing wrong with these humans existing. What¡¯s wrong is impeding the progress of our Silver Moon Race. Star City will also serve as the future home of our Silver Moon Race and the cornerstone of our future endeavors.¡±
¡°If you desire the survival of your nsmen or the preservation of the humans, you can only choose one of the two¡ So, tell me, what is your choice?¡±
When the boy heard this, he fell into deep thought and finally nodded obediently.
At this moment, his gaze became firm.
Looking up at the sky again, a bright crescent moon hung in the sky.
The silver-haired boy raised the flute-like instrument to his mouth again and blew. But this time, there was a hint of killing intent in the melody..

Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
Feng Qi sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his jade statue ced in front of him.
In his meditation, his faith connection with his other self slowly deepened. This jade statue was ced in the Scarlet Research Institute butter sent to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
After all, the growth of his strength in the future was inseparable from the innate ability obtained through faith.
When he opened his eyes, the surging fist intent turned into a substantial wind that blew the fluffy martial arts suit on his body.
At this moment, Feng Qi stood up and walked towards the cubicle of the training room.
Over the past year, Star City¡¯sbat strength had been on the right track.
The Star City Military transformed into the military factory for Breaking Dawn, channeling 68% of the spiritual resources in Star City towards the training and development of soldiers.
To improve the soldiers¡¯ strength, the military established a team of instructors.
The outstanding warriors of the Prajna Organization, the military, and other top-notchbat teams were in charge of training the warriors.
During this period, the military¡¯s food grade increased from C to A.
Every meal was provided to the warriors with spiritual ingredients to ensure their energy intake. At the same time, it subtly nurtured their physique and increased their affinity with Spiritual Qi.
The effect was obvious.
In the high-intensity training, many warriors with potential appeared one after another.
These warriors would be the living force of thisbat timeline and contribute to its advancement.
Feng Qi did not fall behind in the improvement of his strength.
Although he had already taken control of Star City, he had never thought of hiding in the back and acting as a mander¡±.
In terms ofmand talent, many of the soldiers in the military had been to the front line and weremanders from the Victory Academy¡¯smand department.
He had experience leading small-scale battles in various timelines, but hecked the proficiency tomandrge-scale engagements.
Hismand ability was lessparable to that of themanders from the scientific team.
He still had a lot to learn in this area.
Feng Qi was clear about his position in thisbat timeline.
He was in charge of setting the general direction, but he was also a warrior and participated in every battle as much as he could.
Walking to the cubicle, Feng Qi took off his martial arts suit was already drenched in sweat, and entered the bathroom to wash up.
During this period, the blue-skinned assassin appeared again.
Fortunately, the blue-skinned assassin was not strong and was easily killed by him.
The origin of the mysterious blue-skinned creature was still a mystery. However, Feng Qi felt that perhaps there was a special tool in the Science and Technology Research Institute that hid the location of the blue-skinned assassin.
This guess was not groundless.
In the previous timeline, as long as he was in Future City or the Science and Technology Research Institute, he had never been attacked by a blue-skinned assassin.
Although there were many variables in the blue-skinned assassin¡¯s targeting, and each timeline appeared at apletely different time, it could even be said to have surpassed the evolution of normal history.
However, it didn¡¯t make sense that the blue-skinned assassin didn¡¯t appear even aftering into contact with the Science and Technology Research Institute in the timeline until he died.
If this was a coincidence, he would not believe it.
However, the answer to this question could only be revealed after defeating the Science and Technology Research Institute.
At the same time, there was another location that was rted to the blue-skinned assassin.
That was the affiliated city of the Former Days City, Twilight City.
In the previous timeline, Fog had discovered a mysteriousboratory in the underground. Thisboratory had research projects targeting blue-skinned assassins.
However, Feng Qi was not in a hurry in Twilight City.
His objective was the ck shadow faction linked to the Science and Technology Research Institute. He couldn¡¯t be deemed sidetracked into opposing the Spiritual Energy Race.
If he took too bold a step, it could easily backfire on him.
The current information allowed him to steadily advance thebat timeline
He did not need to waste his energy and carry out operations on multiple fronts.
Stability was the way to victory.
After washing up, Feng Qi changed into a new set of clothes and left the training room cubicle.
Next, he went to the corner of the training room, woke up the screen, and began to check thetest news from the various research institutes. ¡¯
Information always came first.
The more he understood, the more beneficial it would be for the future timeline.
He was able to get to where he was now by relying on the intelligence information pieced together by various timelines.
At times, iplete information could result in misinformation or lead to misconceptions.
For example, he had initially suspected that the Scarlet Research Institute was a viinous faction.
However, when many clues were pieced together, the truth would be revealed. Therefore, the more information he knew, the moreprehensive it would be. Only then could he better pave the way for the next timeline.
As he flipped through the information, a piece of news caught his attention.
This information came from Li Xingchen from Future City.
He sent over an action form.
It listed the trajectories of the threebat teams under the Science and Technology Research Institute.
This was wonderful news for Feng Qi.
The war with Future City was on the verge ofmencing. If they could neutralize the influence of certain ck shadow forces now, it would enhance their prospects of sess in the impending conflict.
After carefully checking the trajectory of the operation, his gaze locked onto one of thebat teams.
A few dayster, thisbat team would go to the domain field to transport supplies.
Feng Qi was no stranger to thisbat team.
It was the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.
He was very familiar with the timeline where he joined the Science and Technology Research Institute..
Chapter 637 - 637: Divination at the Temple (2)

In the previous timeline, to frame the Scarlet Research Institute, Fog wanted to monopolize the research resources in Star City and even killed all the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team.
Historically, in the timeline where he joined the Science and Technology Research Institute, he managed to ascend to the position of the leader of the Wolf-Devouring Domain Battle Team, thanks to Fog¡¯s ndestine assistance. Time passed quickly as he thought about his next move.
He looked up at the electronic clock hanging on the wall of the training room.
It was 6 p.m.
Today was a special day. He had an appointment with Lin Ran and Mu Qing and nned to go to the temple fair in Star City.
They arrived at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and waited for Lin Ran and Mu Qing to arrive.
On the way to the temple fair, Feng Qi did not choose to use the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s car. Instead, he used his phone to hail a car after leaving the base.
He had controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute and had one of the highest authority.
However, he was very clear about personal matters and business.
The temple fair was located in the east of the city. When they got out of the car, they could see the big rednterns hanging above the entire street, connected by wire.
The streets were lively, and crowded with people.
The temple fair had a long history.
After the cmity, human civilization ushered in a new era, but many customs of the old era had not been forgotten.
This was also a kind of mental inheritance.
The temple fair of the new era also incorporates many features of the contemporary era.
Since Star City was originally a conglomerate of several cities, the temple fair here showcased unique performances and traditions from various regions.
He walked forward with Lin Ran and Mu Qing.
Along the way, there were Southern Lions, Northern Lions, Dragon Dance, Stiles¡ All kinds of performances were avable.
The atmosphere of the temple fair was very rich. The sound of firecrackers in the distance and the asional fireworks in the sky added to the immersion.
The faces of the passersby along the way were filled with joy.
Turning to the left, Feng Qi realized that Mu Qing¡¯s gaze was fixed on the snack stall by the street.
¡°Senior, go ahead and buy it. Let¡¯s enjoy the day.¡±
As he spoke, Feng Qi walked to the vendor and said to him.
¡°Three sticks of candied hawthorn, please.¡±
¡°Sure!¡± The boss immediately smiled and nodded. Then, he skillfully took three candied haws from the wooden stake and handed them to Feng Qi.
After making the payment, he turned around and handed the candied hawthorns to Mu Qing and Lin Ran.
Seeing the candied hawthorn, Mu Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with nostalgia.
¡°You haven¡¯t eaten one for a long time?¡± he asked curiously.
¡°Yes, thest time I had it was when I was very young. I¡¯ve almost forgotten the taste, but I remember it being exceptionally delicious. I used to crave it every day.¡±
As she spoke, Mu Qing opened her mouth and took a small bite.
The sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth. She narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.
When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately took a big bite and couldn¡¯t help but frown.
¡°This doesn¡¯t taste¡ good?¡±
¡°What she¡¯s indulging is memories. The taste isn¡¯t important,¡± Feng Qi exined with a smile. As he spoke, he took a bite of the candied hawthorn.
They continued walking forward.
The trio¡¯s collection of snacks steadily grew. Before long, they found their hands full of snacks.
When they arrived at a less crowded section of the road, they stopped and sat on a stone bench by the roadside. They began to eat the snacks they had bought along the way.
Mu Qing¡¯s gaze swept past the smiling passers-by. She, who was sitting beside him, couldn¡¯t help but mutter.
¡°I can¡¯t bear to ruin the current stable life in Star City.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi fell silent.
When the war officially started against Future City, the stability of the residents of Star City would be shattered. This was inevitable.
At this moment, Mu Qing continued.
¡°When I was young, I envied the lives of the people in the city. I knew the city had everything, but I was born a scavenger. The city had long been ruined by the domain faction. I¡¯ve been wandering with my parents since childhood, relying on the assistance of major cities to survive.¡±
¡°Compared to the previous generation, I¡¯m considered lucky. My grandfather was one of the first batch of scavengers whose city was destroyed by the domain faction. I once heard my grandfather describe the tragic situation back then.¡±
¡°The domain creatures cruelly ughtered the residents in the city. Only a small number of them escaped. My grandfather¡¯s family was one of the people who escaped. At that time, the situation in the various cities was horrible. They could not spare any resources to help us.¡±
¡°Grandpa once shared with me that during the days when I roamed in search of resources, there was a time when Great-Grandpa fell seriously ill, and the pain blurred his consciousness. At that moment, Great-Grandpay in the tent, crying to my grandfather. He expressed that if he couldn¡¯t afford to support Father, he would secretly add some medicine to Dad¡¯s food, knowing he would consume it.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why we scavengers have known since we were young that stability is hard toe by. However, we also understand that some things have to be given up in exchange for true stability.¡±
Feng Qi and Lin Ran fell silent.
The scavengers were born with a hatred for domain creatures, but from Mu Qing¡¯s words, they felt another kind of sadness that belonged to the scavengers. They also deeply felt the hatred the scavengers had for domain creatures.
This hatred was endless and was engraved in the bones of scavengers.
Feeling the same way, Feng Qi and Lin Ran looked at the smiles on the passers-by¡¯s faces and felt the beauty in the silence.
¡°Let¡¯s continue shopping,¡± Feng Qi said at this moment.
¡°Okay.¡± Mu Qing nodded immediately. She started to eat the snacks in big mouthfuls and threw the remaining sticks and trash into the trash can beside the stone bench.
Next, the three of them continued to walk from the west to the east.
As they strolled around, they arrived in front of the Martial God Temple.
¡°Brother Qi, let¡¯s go in and take a look. I hope the Martial God will bless us with a smooth journey.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Feng Qi didn¡¯t refuse and immediately nodded.
The Martial God Temple worshiped the Martial Saint Emperor. It was located in one of the most lively areas of the temple fair.
The number of people visiting the Martial God Temple increased drastically. There were residents of the city everywhere who came to worship with incense.
The reason why the area of the Martial God Temple could be one of the liveliest areas of the temple fair was linked to the context of this era.
The cruelty of the front line was well known, and the annual casualty rate was high.
Many of these soldiers who went to the front line were the children, fathers, mothers, elders, and other rtives of the city¡¯s residents.
The residents who visited the Martial God Temple for worship harbored the hope that the Martial Saint Emperor would bestow blessings for the safety of their loved ones on the front line. They eagerly anticipated positive news and the possibility of achieving aplete victory, enabling swift reunions with their families.
In this era, the Martial God Temple took on the responsibility of providing emotional support for the city¡¯s residents through their rtives on the front line, making it one of the most popr areas of the temple fair.
Following the tourists deeper into the Martial God Temple, the hawkers selling incense on both sides shouted.
Finally, they crossed the most crowded area and arrived in front of the Martial Saint Emperor¡¯s statue.
Worship involved noplicated steps.
Feng Qi and the other two faced the image of the Martial Saint Emperor, and bowed respectfully, believing that sincerity would be met with a divine response.
Just as they were about to leave, Lin Ran noticed the lot tube beside him and immediately became yful.
¡°Brother Qi, let¡¯s draw a lot before leaving.¡±
When Feng Qi heard that, he turned to look at the lot tube at the side. Then, he smiled and nodded.
¡°Let¡¯s go ahead and give it a try to see how the luck fares in thebat timeline.¡±
Upon reaching the lottery tube, Lin Ran was the first to draw a lot. He extended his hand to pick up the thick lot tube and began shaking it. He even started murmuring in concentration.
Finally, a bamboo stick fell from the lot tube.
Lin Ran immediately put down the lot tube and picked up the bamboo stick on the ground.
The bamboo stick was engraved with a line of letters.
Good Fortune: In endeavors and schemes, adopt an active and diligent approach. Work hard and persevere, and you will reap the rewards.
Seeing this line of words, Lin Ran immediately smiled and threw the lot in his hand back into the lot tube.
Observing this, ripples surfaced in Mu Qing¡¯s beautiful eyes. Subsequently, she took two steps forward and picked up the lot tube.
¡°I wanna try it.¡±
As she spoke, Mu Qing imitated Lin Ran and started shaking the lot tube.
A momentter, a bamboo stick fell out.
Simr to Lin Ran, Mu Qing also drew a simr lucky lot.
Seeing this, Feng Qiughed inwardly.
He suspected that this lot tube was filled with simr divinations. The purpose was to make tourists who came to seek luck happy.
¡°Brother Qi, it¡¯s your turn.¡±
Feng Qi had never believed in these things, but he did not reject them.
He took two steps forward and picked up the lot tube. After shaking it a few times, the lot fell out of the tube.
Picking it up, he saw a line of words engraved on the bamboo stick. The first thing he saw was ¡°Bad Luck¡±.
After a brief silence, Feng Qi returned the lot into the tube. Then, he made a few more attempts until he picked a lot with ¡°Great Luck¡± engraved on it. He held it in his hand.
Mu Qing was speechless.
¡°My fate is in my own hands. We have ¡®Great Luck¡¯ for thisbat timeline!¡±
Looking at the smiling Feng Qi, Lin Ran immediately gave him a thumbs up.
¡°As expected of you, Brother Qi.. You¡¯re right! Our lives are in our hands, not in the heavens!¡±

The moonlight was faint in the haze, and the shadows of the trees danced.
In the quiet forest outside the supply area, a team of hundreds of people crossed the mountains.
Their goal this time was a domain field more than 30 miles away.
This domain field was close to Future City¡¯s supply area. It was one of the many barrier domain fields that blocked Future City and Star City.
The members of the team were all wearing advanced technological equipment. Throughout the journey, the terrain reconnaissance drone above their heads continuously scanned thendscape ahead, rying the information back to the tablet m the captain¡¯s hand.
The warriors in the team were all wearing custom-made exoskeleton armor, hey ran through the dense forest withplicated terrain, effectively reducing their physical consumption.
The night vision goggles on their faces allowed them to see clearly in the dark environment.
After running for a while, the leader, Lu Changkong, suddenly stopped The other members of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team behind him also stopped when they saw this.
¡°Replenish your strength!¡±
Upon hearing his order, the team member immediately took out a pill from their fanny pack and stuffed it into their mouths before swallowing it.
Thepressed energy pill quickly disintegrated in their bodies.
Cool energy swept through their bodies, and the fatigue quickly dissipated. After a short rest, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team continued to attack the target.
As they advanced quickly, Lu Changkong kept scanning the area ahead with a solemn expression.
This mission came suddenly and he only had three days to prepare.
This time, the mission assigned by the superior was to execute a surprise attack on a domainbat team that had already entered the Beast-heart domain field. The objective was to dismantle thisbat team and seize some spiritual resources.
The information he could obtain about this mission was limited.
However, he knew that this domainbat team seemed to know some secrets during thest mission. This was also the reason why his superiors wanted to eliminate it.
LU Changkong didn¡¯t think it was important if this domainbat team knew the secret of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Just the possibility of hidden dangers was enough to make his superior want to eliminate them.
After so many years of loyalty, he knew how ruthless his superior was.
However, after years of wandering, he harbored noints in his heart even though he was aware that his superior was a domain creature consistently opposed to humans.
Memories returned to that day.
Back then, he had graduated from the Winter Academy and stepped onto the front line with the same expectations for the future of humanity as the other graduates. He hoped to contribute to the future of humanity.
In the days at the frontline, he had witnessed true cruelty, but he had no regrets.
Until one day, he received bad news.
His younger sister, whom he had depended on since childhood, fell seriously ill and was swiftly transported to Future City Hospital for treatment.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lu Changkong at that time.
It was his younger sister who supported him through the pain time and time again. The money he had risked his life to earn at the front line was not only used to buy equipment but also sent to his sister in Future City.
He knew that his sister had always had a dream to be an alchemist.
He wanted to fulfill his sister¡¯s wish.
An alchemist didn¡¯t have to go to the front line; her life wasn¡¯t at risk in the rear. This was also his desire.
Every time he returned to thebat team¡¯s base from the front line, he would immediately collect the package and see what his sister had sent.
His room in the base was filled with his sister¡¯s awards.
This was the only constion in Lu Changkong¡¯s heart. He felt that he had done was worth it.
everything
Each time he video-called his sister and witnessed her growth, he felt content. However, he did not expect his sister to be seriously ill and suffer from a terminal illness. Current medical methods could not treat her at all.
At this moment, his world copsed.
Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong chose to apply for leave and returned to Future City.
upon seeing his sister again, he observed her pale face, and thin body, lying on the medical bed with a weary expression. Her eyescked their usual luster. Unable to tolerate this oue, Lu Changkong went crazy and started searching for a way to save his sister on the Inte.
Following that, he took the initiative to locate the Future Research Institute aspiring to leverage the institute¡¯s advanced technology to address his sister¡¯s
However, after the staff at the Future Research Institute reviewed the details of his sister¡¯s medical records, they regretfully conveyed that the institute had ong abandoned medical research projects and couldn¡¯t offer any effective assistance. They suggested seeking help from the United Military Hospital. At that time, Lu Changkong seemed to have found a straw to clutch at and came to the United Military Hospital to seek help.
At that time, he was received by a female doctor.
After checking the details of his sister¡¯s medical record, the female doctor told him the truth. It was these words that agitated him.
She mentioned that the United Military Hospital had special medications that could potentially save her, but the production of these specific medicines was extremely limited. Only six bottles were produced each year, exclusively reserved for human warriors who had earned the Medal of Outstanding Contribution. 6
These words shattered the determination in Lu Changkong¡¯s heart.
He knew that the United Military Hospital chose to do this because of the overall situation of humans.
The heroes who received the Medal of Outstanding Contribution were the Pirs of human civilization and the pioneers on the path of human civilization.
However, he was still unwilling.
He had the means to save her, so why didn¡¯t he? He couldn¡¯t bear to witness his sister¡¯s untimely demise.
To help his sister treat her illness, he returned to the front line.
He pleaded with the regimentmander and the members of thebat team with influential backgrounds, hoping to secure their assistance.
Despite their collective efforts, they had all exerted themselves Yet unfortunately, they had all met with failure..

Finally, under the persuasion of the leader, Lu Changkong returned to his room dispiritedly.
The sunlight that day was dazzling, streaming through the window to illuminate the awards on the wall. However, it couldn¡¯t prate his darkened heart.
In the end, Lu Changkong returned to Future City and the hospital.
Hey on the bed and looked at his sister, who was still unconscious. His heart ached.
He had worked hard for the rise of mankind in his life.
However, he could not protect his sister well. How ridiculous and pathetic was that?
Compared to all of humanity, he wanted his sister to live healthily.
He didn¡¯t care about righteousness.
Amid his sorrow and indignation, his heart withered away.
His sister was his only family in this world. Now that his sister was gone, he felt that there was no point in continuing to live.
The harsh life at the frontline didn¡¯t break him, but this incident utterly shattered him.
His sister was the light in his heart and the source of motivation for him to continue moving forward.
But in just a few days, everything copsed.
His beautiful fantasy of the future shattered like a dream, and everything was gone.
The man, who had never shed a tear on the frontline, couldn¡¯t help but weep.
The despair in his heart deepened.
It was also at this moment that the ck shadow appeared.
That was the first time Lu Changkong hade into contact with it.
Its entire body was enveloped in darkness. When it spoke, it seemed to have some kind of magic that bewitched his mind.
However, after many years on the front line, Lu Changkong had developed a steel-like will and was not affected by mental bewitchment at all.
Realizing that the figure in front of him was a domain creature that had transcended the domain field, he instinctively wanted to kill it.
However, what the ck shadow said made him waver.
Lu Changkong still remembered that sentence. It was like a shooting star that cut through the darkness and brought him light.
¡°I can save your sister, but you have to be loyal to me!¡±
Lu Changkong knew that he had chosen this path and there was no turning back.
After many years of studying, he understood that choosing this path would make him a traitor to humanity. Perhaps he would be nailed to the pir of shame for eternity.
However, when he looked back at his unconscious sister with her eyes closed, he still hesitated.
When the seed of hesitation was nted, it would take root in his heart and grow stronger.
In the face of the hope of bringing his sister back to life, he could not escape the struggle in his heart in the end and chose to lower his head andpromise.
The shadow did not disappoint him.
The next morning, when the sunlight shone through the window of the ward andnded on her sister¡¯s face, she slowly opened her eyes.
At that moment, Lu Changkong hugged his sister and cried tears of joy.
He also understood that he had already embarked on a path of no return. Even if it was not for himself, he had to continue walking down it for his sister.
Before the shadow left, it said, ¡°Your sister¡¯s life is not in my control, but yours.¡±
The threat in his words was self-evident.
From then on, Lu Changkong, who had been fighting on the front line, disappeared. The Lu Changkong from the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team had be a subordinate of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
For so many years, the ck shadow had kept its promise.
His sister had attended the only alchemy academy in Future City and was about to graduate.
The ck shadow even agreed that his sister would sessfully enter the Alchemy Research Institute to work.
His sister¡¯s dream was about toe true. He was relieved.
Over the years, his hands had been stained with the blood of countless of his kind.
From the initial guilt, his heart gradually turned cold.
He recalled those incredulous stares and the searing sensation of countless drops of his own kind¡¯s blood sttering onto his face.
However, after experiencing so much, his heart was already numb.
The ideal future that mankind shared had nothing to do with him anymore. He only wanted the future that he yearned for.
In truth, he was well aware that the ck shadow regarded him as nothing more than a dog, a hunting dog easily manipted at will.
But he had no regrets.
What was wrong with being a dog? At least being a dog could protect one¡¯s family.
As for the future of all mankind, it has nothing to do with me!
This path was wrong in the eyes of all mankind. In his opinion, it was iparably right.
With this thought in mind, Lu Changkong had been on this path for many years.
The Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team that he had established had also been sessfully promoted to the thirdbat team under the Science and Technology Research Institute.
After sessfully advancing to the second tier of the core circle, he saw how powerful the ck shadow faction was.
The determination in his heart to follow became stronger.
Perhaps being abandoned was his ultimate fate, but he had already mentally prepared himself for it.
At the very least, he was certain that the ck shadow faction would not attack his sister no matter what. They had their principles.
Thinking about it, thebat team finally arrived at the Beast-heart domain field.
Without any hesitation, Lu Changkong took the lead and charged into the blood-colored domain.
In front of him was a deste scene. Along the way, there were corpses everywhere. Many orc skulls were picked up by spears and stabbed into the roadside. The murderous aura assaulted his face.
Lu Changkong, who was used to bloody scenes, did not change his expression. He waved his hand and gestured for thebat team to continue forward.
The scouting drone flew forward quickly under the control of the support team at the back.
He searched for traces of the targetbat team along the way.
After traveling for a long time, Lu Changkong waved his hand again to signal for them to stop.
After a short rest and taking thepressed energy pill to recover their strength, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team sped up.
Before the operation began, Lu Changkong carefully checked the number ofbat teams carrying out missions in the Beast-heart domain field and the number ofbat teams in the nearby area.
He knew that only twobat teams were carrying out missions in the Beast-heart domain field. One of them was the targetbat team.
This time, he did not choose to take the main path. Instead, he crossed the mountains..

Therefore, he was not worried that the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team¡¯s operation would be exposed.
What¡¯s more, even if they were exposed, the Science and Technology Research Institute behind them would give a reasonable exnation for their actions.
Before setting off, he carefully checked the authorization information provided by his superior to understand the area of the targetbat team¡¯s operation.
There was no need to take a detour along the way. He led the team straight to the target location.
As they approached the target location, Lu Changkong began to slow down the speed of thebat team and prepared for battle.
However, at this moment, the drone transmitted a video.
In the video, a girl about 13 or 14 years old blocked the way of thebat team.
Seeing this, Lu Changkong was puzzled.
He didn¡¯t understand where this girl came from.
But he had no intention of stopping.
When killing became a habit, his heart was already numb. Lu Changkong realized that he no longer felt guilty. Since she was blocking the way, he would just kill her.
As he continued to run, a youngdy blocking his way appeared in his line of sight.
She had long ck hair, a petite figure, and an exquisite face. She was wearing a ck martial arts suit and stood there calmly, looking out of ce in the deste environment.
¡°Take her out!¡± Lu Changkong said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the drone in the sky shot out several spiritual energysers at the youngdy.
Apanied by several loud bangs, smoke and dust covered the vision in front of them.
However, Lu Changkong frowned at this moment.
The night vision device on his face also had thermal vision. He could see the youngdy standing there. The power of the spiritual energyser did not make her move at all.
A gust of wind blew. When the dust dissipated, he realized that the youngdy¡¯s clothes were not even torn. Instead, there was a translucent jade-colored mist on her body.
¡°Lu Changkong, I¡¯m curious. Why did you betray the human race?¡± the girl asked.
Upon hearing the question, Lu Changkong immediately grasped that the situation was unfavorable.
Since she knew his background, it meant that she hade prepared.
Years of experience at the frontline made him think of retreating quickly.
Since the youngdy standing not far away knew his background, she would not foolishlye forward to die. She should have him in her grasp.
¡°Do you regret it?¡± the girl asked again.
¡°Not at all!¡± Lu Changkong replied coldly. As he spoke, he began to slowly retreat.
¡°I want to know the reason.¡±
¡°Because they give me the future I want.¡±
Hearing this, Mu Qing was silent for a moment before saying.
¡°I¡¯ve checked your information and know that you were once an outstanding warrior at the front line. You shouldn¡¯t have gone on this path. What exactly do you mean by the future?¡±
¡°I chose this path myself. I don¡¯t need to exin it to you.¡±
¡°Is it rted to your sister?¡± Mu Qing continued to ask.
¡°It has nothing to do with you!¡± As he spoke, Lu Changkong waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to take the initiative to attack Mu Qing.
¡°Looks like Ah Qi¡¯s guess was right. ording to your information, it should be rted to your sister¡¯s serious illness.¡±
At this point, Mu Qing could not help but sigh.
She thought of what Feng Qi had said when he gave her this mission.
¡°Lu Changkong is a pitiable individual, yet also detestable. It¡¯s not wrong for him to desire the survival of his family, but has he ever considered that while he and his sister could live peacefully in Future City, the martyrs paid the price with their lives?¡±
¡°If the martyrs had made the same choice as him back then, they might not have existed at all.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not wrong to live for oneself. The issue lies in choosing the wrong path. Perhaps that¡¯s why he¡¯s unwilling to reveal the truth to his sister. I¡¯ve reviewed his sister¡¯s information, and he had pledged to strive for the rise of humanity. I would certainly be disappointed in him¡¡±
Thinking of this, Mu Qing¡¯s gaze became firm.
The jade-colored mist on her body circted as she transformed into a phantom and passed through several figures that were rushing over.
Under Lu Changkong¡¯s disbelieving gaze, she arrived in front of him.
A scorching fist suddenly smashed down with unparalleled might..

Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
After hanging up Mu Qing¡¯s call, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
He did not know Lu Changkong very well at first. He only knew that he was the founder of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.
However, his impact on history was not significant.
ording to normal history, he would be killed by the owner of the fog in a few years and leave the stage of history.
This time, when he received Li Xingchen¡¯s action n, he went to find out more about Lu Changkong.
After checking the relevant information with his authority, he could roughly guess the reason why Lu Changkong betrayed humanity.
Mu Qing¡¯s call just now confirmed this.
From Lu Changkong¡¯s information, he couldn¡¯t betray humanity. As an outstanding graduate of Winter Academy, his resume was very outstanding.
The battle records at the front line proved that Lu Changkong had a firm belief. He had sacrificed himself many times to block the attacks of domain creatures for his team members.
The most tragic time was when Lu Changkong carried a member and ran for a hundred miles in the domain field, almost losing his life.
Even so, he did not give up on his heavily injured teammates.
From this, it could be seen that his character was not bad. He couldn¡¯t be controlled by a domain faction.
One could even say that, even if he chose to die, Lu Changkong would never betray humanity.
From the analysis of the information, Feng Qi felt that the only thing that changed Lu Changkong was his sister¡¯s mysterious illness.
He suspected that when Lu Changkong¡¯s sister was seriously ill, the ck shadow faction had bewitched Lu Changkong to swear loyalty to them.
In the face of the righteousness of his family and the human race, Lu Changkong had chosen his family.
After reading the detailed information, Feng Qi immediately thought of Le Ping¡¯an.
A simr situation had happened to Le Ping¡¯an¡¯s parents before. His parents had also made the same choice as Lu Changkong.
This method of manipting people¡¯s minds reminded him of the owner of the fog.
However, Lu Changkong¡¯s betrayal had nothing to do with the owner of the fog. The ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute was the real culprit.
He even suspected that Lu Changkong¡¯s sister¡¯s serious illness was caused by the ck shadow faction.
There were three reasons for his suspicion.
Firstly, after the cmity began, humans ushered in a new era with Spiritual Qi.
Despite the dangers prevalent in this era, the Spiritual Qi that meandered between heaven and earth was imperceptibly enhancing the physical prowess of individuals in the new era. Even those who never engaged in any form of practice were considerably stronger than ordinary athletes from 500 years ago. Secondly, he checked the medical records of Lu Changkong¡¯s sister, Lu Xiaoli, when she was seriously ill.
The description of the illness given by the Future City Hospital at that time did not exist in history.
In other words, this was a brand-new case.
Thirdly, Lu Changkong¡¯s sister was healthy before her sudden illness, but she deteriorated rapidly.
This was the most obvious.
Lu Xiaoli attended the No. 3 Middle School in Future City. Although the physical examinations in the middle school were not as frequent as in the academy, they were held every three months. The purpose was to test the strength of the students¡¯ bloodline and other conditions.
It had only been half a month since Lu Xiaoli¡¯sst physical examination.
Based on the three reasons, Feng Qi had reason to suspect that the ck shadow had controlled Lu Changkong¡¯s betrayal and led him on a path of no return.
As for why they chose Lu Changkong¡
After Feng Qi checked Lu Changkong¡¯s detailed information, he had a rough guess.
Lu Changkong¡¯s personal growth experience was outstanding.
The outstanding graduates of the Winter Academy were only a part of his honor.
During his time at the front line, Lu Changkong was also known as one of the top 10 rookies in the supply area.
As long as he did not die in battle, there was a high chance that he would obtain the Medal of Outstanding Contribution in the future.
During that period, Lu Changkong was still growing rapidly. It was understandable that he was targeted by the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Lu Changkong did not disappoint the ck shadow faction.
From scratch, he created the thirdbat team of the Science and Technology Research Institute, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, for the ck shadow faction.
It was an elitebat team.
In the previous timeline, he was once the leader of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team. However, when he epted the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, all the higher-ups were killed by the owner of the fog. Even so, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team was still very powerful.
After carefully analyzing the reason, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.
He sympathized with Lu Changkong, but he was in the wrong. He had to face the consequences.
This might also be the reason why Lu Changkong was unwilling to tell his sister the truth.
He was the covert guardian by his sister¡¯s side, but he was also the executioner concealed within human society.
Contemting this, Feng Qi questioned himself: faced with the same choice, what would he choose?
However, after hesitating for only a second, he could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
If he were in Lu Changkong¡¯s position, given that he didn¡¯t have a sister, he would substitute his parents¡¯ revival for Lu Changkong¡¯s decision when ¡¯ confronting the ck shadow faction.
Setting aside the question of whether the ck shadow could genuinely resurrect his parents if he opted to betray humanity and bring his parents back to life, there was a significant likelihood that he would be condemned to death by his resurrected parents.
His parents would feel worse than death.
Hence, this question was essentially a hypothetical scenario with no definitive answer.
However, everyone thought about problems differently. He understood Lu Changkong, but he did not forgive him.
As for whether he could change Lu Changkong¡¯s future, he gave up after careful consideration.
The owner of the fog could be saved not only because it could help human civilization rise rapidly but also because the owner of the fog in the main timeline had never harmed any humans.
However, at the same time, Lu Changkong¡¯s hands were stained with the blood of many of his kind.
He had no right to forgive him on behalf of those who had died tragically at Lu Changkong¡¯s hands..

Chapter 642: Refusing to Move On (2)

His transmigration into the timeline could only change the future, but it could not change the past.
As he sighed, he stopped thinking about this question.
The action n sent by Li Xingchen this time stated that some members of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team had attacked the Beast-heart domain field under Lu Changkong¡¯s lead. Their goal was to destroy a domainbat team.
Feng Qi was very curious about this.
He did not understand why the ck shadow faction was doing this.
While he sent Mu Qing to deal with Lu Changkong, he also asked Mu Qing to investigate this matter.
In the phone call just now, Mu Qing said that she had asked about the ¡°zing Combat Team¡± that was targeted by the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team.
The reply he received was that the zing Combat Team did not know what had happened.
The clues were interrupted at this point.
However, he felt that the zing Combat Team had discovered a secret that caused the ck shadow faction to urgently attack and destroy it.
However, the members of the zing Combat Team did not notice the secret.
However, he could understand why the ck shadow faction did this.
As a hidden human force, if they were to n their future in human society, hiding had to be their top priority.
Whether they were exposed or not, just the possibility of being exposed would cause them to be vignt.
Even if the zing Combat Team did not discover anything, they would be eliminated if they became a possible threat in the eyes of the ck shadow faction.
This was very simr to Fog.
It was the same when Fog controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
For example, the Dark God Sect back then had to think of a way to get rid of it as long as it was a threat, even if it was harmless now.
After figuring out the entire situation, Feng Qi stood up in front of the jade statue.
After leaving the training room, he came to the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s Deste Laboratory.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s main project was cultivation. The eight coreboratories in the headquarters were called Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, Universe, Eon, Flood, and Deste.
Eachboratory had its main project.
Upon pushing open the door of the Deste Laboratory, what unfolded before him was a ck decorative style. Experimental equipment was arranged in four distinct areas.
Arge information processor was ced in the central area.
The ck decoration was slightly oppressive, but it was for the sake of experimentation.
The ck paint on the wall was refined from a spiritual nt produced by the domain field. It had the effect of sealing Spiritual Qi.
This paint reduced the annual loss of spiritual energy in theboratory by about 20%.
He walked to the left area. Several researchers were busy at the control panel.
Among them, a handsome man with short hair and rimless sses was staring intently at the transparent ss cover in front of him. Inside was an energy ball emitting a weak blue light.
¡°Uncle Hei, how¡¯s the progress?¡±
Coming to the man¡¯s side, Feng Qi immediately asked.
Upon hearing the question, the handsome man immediately turned around and realized that it was Feng Qi. He immediately smiled and nodded.
¡°The research on the blue energy mass has been slow these days, but I¡¯ve more or less made some discoveries.¡±
¡°What exactly is it?¡± he immediately asked.
¡°I¡¯m not sure. The matter in the blue energy mass can¡¯t be extracted at all, but your guess back then was right. This thing is affected by willpower.¡±
Under Feng Qi¡¯s curious gaze, the handsome man called Uncle Hei took a few steps forward and opened the ss door, grabbing the blue energy mass in his hand.
¡°I¡¯ll demonstrate it to you. It¡¯s too hard to exin.¡±
As he spoke, Uncle Hei closed his eyes.
After a short wait, the blue energy mass in his hand began to twist and deform. Finally, it spat out a pearl emitting a gentle white light.
He reached out and caught the bead. Uncle Hei came to Feng Qi and handed the bead to him.
Feng Qi looked puzzled as he took the white bead.
After sizing it up carefully, he ced the small bead in front of his nose and sniffed it. Then, he pinched it gently. Immediately, the small bead shattered. Dense Spiritual Qi burst out in his hand, spread, and disappeared in theboratory.
¡°Spirit stone?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a spiritual stone created from my willpower.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi was shocked.
¡°Created? Uncle Hei, you mean that the blue energy mass can create matter out of thin air?¡±
¡°You¡¯re mistaken. It generates matter out of thin air under the influence of my willpower. For instance, I strongly desired to acquire a spiritual stone just now. Under the influence of my willpower, the blue energy mass generated a spiritual stone for me¡ However, this abilityes with numerous limitations. My willpower cannot create the spiritual stones I envision. The boundary is the small bead in your hand just now.¡±
Hearing this exnation, Feng Qi was stunned.
He suddenly understood why every time the owner of the fog¡¯s blood and Qi was exhausted, arge amount of blood and Qi power would be bom out of thin air.
Also, Lin Ran had already shattered the owner of the fog¡¯s consciousness.
However, its consciousness was regained every time.
The most ridiculous thing was the time when it was in the antagonist¡¯s timeline. The owner of the fog¡¯s corpse was about to turn cold, and it was about to give up.
In the end, the owner of the fog gathered its origin and it revived on the spot.
The reason was this blue energy mass.
The owner of the fog had an unlimited desire for ¡°life¡±. The terrifying willpower that burst forth affected the blue energy mass. To reconstruct its origin, it even brought it blood essence power out of thin air.
He thought that it was ridiculous enough for the miracle blood stone to constantly produce little blood stones.
Unexpectedly, there was an even more ridiculous one in the owner of the fog.
It could be said to be the protagonist.
Now, he was certain that the blue energy mass was a miracle item. Only miracle items had such extraordinary functions.
¡°Don¡¯t rejoice too soon. 1 just mentioned that this blue energy mass has a limitation. Even if I daydream about a mountain of spiritual stones, it can only generate spiritual stones the size of a pinky finger.¡±
¡°If I daydream about other high-grade spiritual materials that are more valuable than spiritual stones, the quality ratio will continue to diminish. It¡¯s entirely contingent on the strength of my willpower.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
He could understand why miracle items had restrictions.
If this miracle item could be created indefinitely, it would exceed the power of the Pir Gods and could be said to be the master of creation.
Fog yearned to live, but it also yearned to climb to the peak and be a Pir God.
If this miracle item was omnipotent, it would have long helped the owner of the fog be a god.
However, the effect of this miracle item was still shocking, in his opinion. Some of the special spiritual materials produced in the domain fields could not be replicated.
If he could use this miracle item to create such an item, it would speed up the development of human civilization.
Just as he was fantasizing about how to use this miracle item, Uncle Hei shook his head again.
¡°I believe you understand the effect of the blue energy mass. Next, let¡¯s talk about its hidden dangers.¡±
¡°There are hidden dangers?¡±
¡°That¡¯s correct. It¡¯s a significant issue. If we don¡¯t address it, we won¡¯t be able to use this item effectively.¡±
As he spoke, the man reached out to wipe away the blood-colored liquid flowing out of his nose and continued.
¡°After these few days of experiments, I discovered that every time I use this miracle item, a weak consciousness will be born in my body. If I use it for a long time, this consciousness will quickly strengthen in my body and finallypletely upy my main body.¡±
¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this is the remnant consciousness of the owner of the fog after its death. The blue consciousness is helping it reincarnate.¡±
///
As he spoke, Uncle Hei came to the control panel and patted a busy researcher.
¡°Bring up the video from yesterday.¡±
Upon hearing the instructions, the researcher immediately operated the control panel. Then, a video appeared on the screen in front of the control panel.
After tapping y, what appeared was the scene inside the ss cover in front of him.
The blue energy mass expanded and contracted like breathing in the ss cover, butpared to now, there was a pink substance on it.
Uncle Hei turned around and stared at Feng Qi.
¡°Besides creating the faint consciousness of the owner of the fog within the user¡¯s body, there¡¯s another concealed danger. Flesh and blood tissue will manifest on its surface. Although the rate of growth is quite slow, given enough time, I believe¡ the owner of the fog will be reborn.¡±
¡°Therefore, we need to clean up the flesh tissue regrly to prevent the owner of the fog from resurrecting.¡±
Hearing this exnation, the way Feng Qi looked at the blue energy mass changed.
Through Uncle Hei¡¯s exnation, he understood the hidden dangers of this miracle item.
If it couldn¡¯t dispel the owner of the fog¡¯s consciousness, this miracle item would only be bound to the owner of the fog. It would help the owner of the fog revive ording to its infinite desire for life before it died.
If he did not solve this problem and use it for a long time, the owner of the fog would be reborn in his body.
Refusing to move on was just a description.
However, this became a reality for the owner of the fog..

The blue energy mass could now be confirmed to be a miracle item.
The name of this miracle item was temporarily called ¡°Will.¡±
This was because this miracle item was mainly affected by the user¡¯s willpower. The stronger the willpower exerted, the more power it could unleash.
After leaving Deste Laboratory, Feng Qi returned to the training room. He sat down in front of the screen and began to read thetest email content. Good news came one after another over the past few days.
Firstly, the Prajna Domain Combat Team, which was confirmed to be relocating to Star City, had already initiated the move. Among them, the corebat personnel were the first to relocate to Star City, while some individuals continued to stay in the northern supply area of Former Days City.
As for why he chose to move some core members over first, it was Feng Qi who suggested it.
After all, the area around Former Days City was under the control of the Spiritual Energy Race.
As one of the top tobat teams, therge-scale relocation of the Prajna Domain Combat Team would attract the attention of the Spiritual Energy Race and bring unnecessary trouble.
At this stage, the main target was the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The Spiritual Energy Race was not the target for the time being.
Other than the Prajna Domain Combat Team, eight other hidden human forces had responded to the call and were already preparing toe to Star City.
To arrange for these new factions to join, Feng Qi held a meeting with the military and the higher-ups of the various Breaking Dawn departments in advance.
He decided to open up a brand new area in Star City for the next new faction to settle in.
Everything was going well.
The condensation ofbat strength also indicated that thisbat timeline would go further than any previous timeline.
However, the process might be very tragic.
However, if he wanted to gain something, he had to pay a price. He was already mentally prepared.
After reading thetest email, he was silent for a moment before opening the ess database.
After some hesitation, he entered his father¡¯s name.
When he was young, he received a notification that his parents had died while conquering the domain field.
However, the party members did not see them die. They only found the equipment they had left behind, but they did not see any traces of them.
After searching for a while, he defined his parents as dead.
After all, there was a high chance that they had encountered danger when they mysteriously disappeared from the domain.
But now, he had a different guess.
In human history, many experts mysteriously disappeared without a trace. He had been very concerned about this matter back then, but he had never been able to find any clues.
Later on, when he met Lu Yue and found out that the Lu family¡¯s Sword Dao lineage had also mysteriously disappeared, he had a guess.
Those experts who had mysteriously disappeared might have gone to a mysterious ce.
Now, Tian Shu¡¯s answer gave him the answer.
Those top human experts in history had all been sent to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao to be guardians and protect the first line of defense of humanity. Therefore, he could not help but wonder if his parents had also gone to the Path to Heaven.
However, the answer to this question could not be found in the authorization information.
After all, the news about the Path to Heaven was sealed off to all of humanity.
Even the authorized research institute could not know the inside story.
Therefore, he did not start an investigation in this area.
However, he learned a lot about the Path to Heaven through Tian Shu. This time, he decided to piece together some clues through the information.
After entering his father¡¯s name and screening it, the relevant information appeared.
[Feng Tianyuan (Smash Domain Combat Team: Second Regiment-Leader)]:
Age of Death: 48
Growth Experience: Feng Tianyuan graduated from the Winter Academy and obtained the honor of an outstanding graduate. After that, he joined one of the top tobat teams at that time, the Smash Domain Combat Team, with dozens of good friends who graduated at the same time.
In his third year on the frontline, he encountered Ying Zhuyu, who had graduated from the Star City Academy¡¯s medical program, and they became husband and wife the following year.
In the days at the front line, Feng Tianyuan performed very well. He and his wife, Ying Yuzhu, made many contributions. After themander of the second regiment of the Smash Domain Combat Team died in battle, he was sessfully promoted to the newmander of the second regiment¡
After his wife was pregnant, Feng Tianyuan and his wife chose to leave the front line for the time being and returned to his wife¡¯s hometown, Star City.
They gave birth to a child and returned to the front line after raising him for a few years¡
Cause of Death: When the operation to conquer the domain field wasing to an end, Feng Tianyuan and his wife, Ying Yuzhu, disappeared mysteriously, leavmg only their equipment and props. After 10 days of searching, they still couldn t find any traces. They were defined as sacrifices.
Lifetime Achievement (Honor): Used to be the Second Regiment Commander of the Smash Domain Combat Team, A-grade Human Elite Medal, Outstanding Graduate of the Winter Academy, Silver Medal of Outstanding Contribution¡
Feng Qi did not know much about his parents.
They would not expose the cruelty of the front line to their younger selves.
What left the deepest impression on him was what his parents had said before they left.
¡°Our efforts are for you to have a stable life in the future.¡±
Many of his memories had faded, but he still remembered how much his parents doted on him.
However, that period was too short.
However, he roughly knew that thebat team his parents were in seemed to be very famous.
Sometimes, when the neighbor auntie met him, she would say enviously that it would be great if her son could enter that domainbat team in the future.
This was enough to show that thebat team his parents were in must be very influential.
However, he was young at that time and did not remember whichbat team his parents were in.

Now that he thought about it, his parents¡¯ aplishments could categorize them as historical heroes.
This was another step closer to his guess.
Next, he entered his mother¡¯s name, Ying Yuzhu, into the search bar.
After screening for gender, region, and time, his mother¡¯s details appeared on the screen.
His mother¡¯s information was simr to his father¡¯s.
She was born in Star City and attended Star City Academy. Eventually, she joined the Smash Domain Combat Team and assumed the role of the medical team¡¯s leader. She served as the deputymander of the second regiment and the captain of the medical team.
Both of them had outstanding resumes.
Especially her mother, Ying Zhuyu, who had once won the first ce in theprehensive field medicalpetition jointly organized by various cities. Judging from the information, there was a chance that his parents had been taken to Path to Heaven by Mu Yao.
The so-called mysterious disappearance was just to cover up the truth of their departure.
After all, the information about the Path to Heaven could not be leaked to the outside world.
However, this was only his guess.
As for the exact truth, it still needed to be verified.
Thinking of this, he could not help but wonder if he could also go to the Path to Heaven to take a look.
However, there were two prerequisites to heading to the Path to Heaven.
Firstly, he had to be qualified to step onto the Path to Heaven and be a Heavenly Soldier.
Secondly, and most crucially, he had to be acknowledged as a miracle by Mu Yao and establish contact with thetter.
Otherwise, he had no idea where the entrance to the Path to Heaven was or how to get there.
After all, even Tian Shu could not return to the Path to Heaven without Mu Yao¡¯s help.
There was a chance to meet Mu Yao in thisbat timeline.
If Star City went to war with Future City, the impact would be huge.
If Mu Yao was not in seclusion at this time and was still wandering in the world, she woulde to understand the details.
At that time, he would have a chance to meet Mu Yao.
If he could not meet her in thebat timeline, he could only look for an opportunity in the next timeline.
From a historical point of view, if he couldst until the establishment of the Dawn army, Mu Yao would appear and they could meet then.
He believed that Mu Yao¡¯s secret would help him understand more information.
Information was the foundation for continuous trial and error.
If he had the chance to go to the Path to Heaven, he wanted to follow the Path to Heaven to take a look at the domain world.
He learned from Fog that the domain world he was in was in great danger.
This crisis was the arrival of the Great Event.
Fog had never seen the exact situation, but the signs had already appeared.
The spiritual energy in the entire domain world kept leaking out as if the world was slowly withering.
This situation put huge pressure on many races.
It was just like how humans were helpless in the face of a natural disaster
They could only watch as destruction slowly approached.
As for what happened after the Great Event, Fog was also very confused.
It was just that the situation that this domain world was facing would also be the challenge that the human world would face in the future.
The domain world was only one stop on the way to Great Event. The domain world would be destroyed, and the next stop would be the human world.
Many domain creatures moved their entire race to the human world.
They were not entirely bloodthirsty. Some did it to avoid disasters and dangers.
The human world was regarded as thest buffer zone by all races in all domains.
Regarding the acts of killing and plundering in the human world, as well as various ns for the future, it was because the races in various domains aimed to exploit the buffer time to swiftly fortify their races. This preparation was meant to confront the challenges that would emerge in the future.
Just as Fog had said, there were two choices.
Either wait for death to fall upon them or go against the heavens.
The final judgment when the Great Event arrived was to kill and plunder to obtain arge number of resources to strengthen the race and n for the future.
Feng Qi had always been curious about the Great Event.
However, if he could head to the Path to Heaven and enter the domain world through the Path to Heaven, he might be able to see the process of the Great Event in advance in the domain world.
This would be helpful to his subsequent timeline.
After letting his imagination run wild, he stood up from the screen.
Next, he went to the center of the training room and began to train his punches.
The cultivation of Fist Force was rted to one¡¯s understanding of fist intent. Furthermore, the cultivation of Fist Force was helpful to any timeline. It could even be brought back to the main timeline.
The Fist Force waspatible with hisbat style.
Therefore, he didn¡¯t stop cultivating the Fist Force.
In Wei Wei¡¯s words, the upper limit of Force cultivation was extremely high.
Moreover, it could increase as one¡¯s strength increased.
The most obvious example was Mu Qing.
When Mu Qing faced enemies, other than pure strength suppression, there was also bloodline suppression.
This was also a type of Force.
It was just like how when prey met the king of beasts, they would be vignt and tremble.
Essentially, it was affected by Force.
When one¡¯s Force cultivation reached a certain level, sometimes, one didn¡¯t even need to attack. Just the Force emitted from one¡¯s body was enough to suppress the opponent until they couldn¡¯t raise their heads.
Feng Qi had encountered simr situations before.
Previously, when he was escorting the miracle blood stone, he was attacked by a cmity domain creature.
At that time, facing a cmity domain creature, his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble.
Even though he was fearless, his body was still out of control.
This was the terrifying aspect of Force.
After a high-intensity punch training, Feng Qi, who was drenched in sweat came to the training room cubicle. After taking a shower, he changed into a¡¯ new set of clothes.
Looking at the time, it was already seven in the evening..

Chapter 645: My Parents¡¯ Whereabouts (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
He decided to make a trip back to the Star City Academy.
When he walked out of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, it was brightly lit outside. He realized that it was snowing.
The air he spat out turned into white fog and dissipated under the low temperature.
Looking at the snow-covered scene in front of him, a hint of nostalgia struck him.
He recalled the previous timeline where Fog stood at the top of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s headquarters and said something to him.
Now that he thought about it, he could empathize with it.
It said that hope in times of crisis was the source of power that was unafraid of all adversities.
The Great Event made many races start to think about the meaning of life and whether they should go against the heavens.
After understanding the logic behind it, the next step was to choose.
If they chose to live, they could only step onto the path of killing and fight for a chance of survival against the myriad races. In the future, they would be enemies.
The myriad races crossing a narrow bridge were destined to undergo a brutal and arduous process.
After making a choice, one had to be mentally prepared. There might be a price to pay in advance.
Even if the humans did not want to participate, they had no choice.
Everyone wanted to live, but if they wanted to live, they had to kill and plunder.
The second choice was to take advantage of the situation until the Great Event arrived and be the dust of history.
However, when one made this choice, one was destined to be a stepping stone on the path of the other races.
¡°You try going with the flow, but the others try to survive.¡±
¡°Snatch the resources and kill your nsmen. They are just trying to live and your actions have nothing to do with them!¡±
¡°Between the two choices, I chose the former.¡±
¡°My desire for strength is very low. You know that I never like to use strength to fight enemies.¡±
¡°I yearn for the peak only because there is true freedom there. No external force can determine the future of me and my nsmen.¡±
¡°Sometimes, using strength was one thing, but possessing it was another.¡±
¡°Only by possessing it would one have the right to choose and negotiate.¡±
¡°Without it, you don¡¯t have a choice.¡±
¡°When you have something you¡¯re determined to protect, your mind changes, and your behavior changes.¡±
¡°Ah Qi, if what you want to protect is greater than your dream, that is your new dream.¡±
pping the snow off his shoulders, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
Fog¡¯s words seemed to have more meaning now.
His dream was to join the Milky Way Research Institute and be a technique researcher.
But now, when protecting meant more than dreams, it became a new dream.
Moreover, this was not his dream alone. He also had the dreams of countlesspanions.
Fog¡¯s thoughts from its point of view were inexplicablypatible with his thoughts from a human¡¯s point of view. The only difference was that they stood on different sides.
However, it was all for their race and the future.
From the looks of it, Fog was like a philosopher.
In particr, it liked reading human history books and mythological books.
However, one thing stood out as particrly problematic.
As it perused through it, it enjoyed makingments on human history and myths, expressing disdain for the storyline of a particr history and myth.
For instance, it once remarked that if there were truly immortals in human history capable of moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of their hands, then the initiative to invade the human world would not be in our possession.
There was a high chance that as soon as they arrived in the human world, they would be dragged by the immortals to the steelworks or to other ces that neededbor to work. In short, they would be enved by humans.
He could not help but roll his eyes when he heard these words.
When it came to ridicule, Fog was born with a cold sense of humor. Its words were always shocking.
Thinking of the past, he walked towards the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Next, he nned to return to the Star City Academy and arrange his ns. This step was also a key step in the advancement of thebat timeline.
He walked along the snow-covered path, leaving a trail of footprints behind him. At this moment, he looked up at the night sky and suddenly thought of something Wei Wei had said.
¡°When you¡¯re lost, raise your head. Perhaps a star in the night sky will show you the way.¡±
The underlying meaning of this sentence was that one of the stars in history would show him the way.
At that time, he had asked, ¡°What if there are no stars?¡±
Wei Wei couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes when she heard this. Then, she replied.
¡°Then, you be that star. It¡¯s time for you to learn to shine and light up the path ahead.¡±
Shaking off the snow on his clothes, Feng Qi walked further and further away in the snow.
The past surged in his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips.
In the new year, it was time to continue working hard..
Chapter 646 - 646: Distributing Breaking Dawn (1)
Chapter 646: Distributing Breaking Dawn (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
On the seventh day of the new year, it was snowing lightly.
After getting out of the car at the entrance of Star City Academy, Feng Qi went straight to Bai Fusheng¡¯s office.
After knocking on the door, Bai Fusheng¡¯s energetic voice sounded.
¡°Come in.¡¯1
Pushing open the door, he saw Bai Fusheng wearing a Chinese tunic suit and flipping through the documents on his desk.
At this moment, he looked up at Feng Qi.
-Why did you look for me sote at night? Can¡¯t we talk over the phone?¡± ¡°This matter is too important. I think it¡¯s better to tell you in person.¡± Feng Qi smiled and sat down at his desk. He picked up the teapot and filled Bai
Fusheng¡¯s teacup.
Hearing this, Bai Fusheng¡¯s eyes shed with doubt.
During this period of time, Feng Qi had been taking leave frequently, but he did not say anything. After all, Feng Qi had started a research project on cultivation techniques with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In his opinion, this was a good thing.
He believed that Star City Academy ce was not suitable for the future growth of a peerless genius like Feng Qi.
He had wanted to persuade Feng Qi to give up teaching as soon as possible and go to the Tiger Soul Research Institute to expand his ambitions.
However, Feng Qi rejected all his suggestions.
He felt helpless against such a willful student.
At this thought, he couldn¡¯t help but say.
¡°Why? Are you finally willing to listen to me and resign to work at the Tiger
Soul Research Institute?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s more important than this!¡±
¡°Heh, tell me in detail,¡± Bai Fusheng snapped.
Looking at Bai Fusheng, Feng Qi decided to confess his secret to him.
This special trip back from the Tiger Soul Research Institute was rted to thebat timeline that he had been hesitating about for a long time.
Should they release the super virtual game, Breaking Dawn, in thisbat timeline?
If Breaking Dawn¡¯s influence on the future could be tested on thisbat timeline, it would be of great reference value to his future sacrifice timeline.
At this stage, the Star City Military and the other departments of Breaking Dawn were training their soldiers and preparing for war.
The introduction of a super virtual game could significantly increase thebat ability of the warriors.
in addition, training in a super virtual game could reduce unnecessary injuries and allow the warriors to fight with all their might.
From all angles, a super virtual game could significantly increase thebat power of Star City.
If that was all, he would have chosen tounch a super virtual game long ago. However, there was a huge hidden danger inunching a super virtual game. This was also the key to his hesitation.
The hidden domain factions upied the various city authorities and had their territory.
After the super virtual game was officially released, it would target the entire human race. Its influence would increase with the promotion of the game.
This would arouse the vignce of hidden forces in various domains.
For example, after a super virtual game was promoted, the number of gamers would increase exponentially. He could easily control public opinion in a super virtual game.
It was very simple to achieve this.
He only needed to release a game announcement. At that time, all the yers would know what he wanted to express.
In addition, there wasbat training, experimental simtions, domain dungeons, and other functions in super virtual games.
This game posed a huge threat to the various domain factions.
It would cause changes to the situation that was under their control.
He had to assume that if he promoted the super virtual game, Star City would be surrounded and attacked by various domain factions.
The various domain factions were not fools.
When the interests of all the domain factions were threatened, they would most likely choose to join forces to eliminate amon enemy.
The same situation had happened when he was escorting the miracle blood stone in the Former Days Supply Area.
Facing the threat of a cmity domain creature, the various domain factions that were fighting each other did not hesitate to cooperate to fight the enemy. Therefore, Feng Qi was very hesitant about promoting super virtual games on thisbat timeline.
But this time, he made a decision.
Since it was abat timeline, he would try it boldly. Even if he made a mistake, another one of his other self would take the baton and continue walking.
There were some things that one wouldn¡¯t know if one didn¡¯t try.
This time, he came to look for Bai Fusheng because of the promotion of the super virtual game.
He wanted to turn Star City Academy into the first experimental base of a super virtual game before gradually promoting it.
More importantly, he hoped that the Star City Academy could be Breaking Dawn¡¯sbat strength reserve.
After graduation, students could be the power of Breaking Dawn. This was also why he was prepared to confess the truth to Bai Fusheng. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at Bai Fusheng with a serious expression.
¡°Grandmaster, do you believe that humans can master the ability to travel through time?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Fusheng was stunned for a moment before his expression turned very serious.
After a short silence, Bai Fusheng mmed the table.
¡°Rascal, I don¡¯t agree!¡±
In the astonished gaze of Feng Qi, Bai Fusheng puffed his beard and red. ¡°Who do you think you are? First, it¡¯s a super virtual game. Now, you¡¯re delving into time travel?¡±
¡°How can I not know what you¡¯re thinking? Are you nning to develop a time travel machine this time? Can¡¯t you focus on practical work at the Tiger Soul Research Institute? That¡¯s where you belong. What super virtual game? What time travel? These things will only dy your talent¡¡±
Looking at the displeased expression of Bai Fusheng, Feng Qi felt embarrassed..

Bai Fusheng had misunderstood.
But he could understand what Bai Fusheng was thinking.
Every time he came to look for Bai Fusheng, he had something to ask of him. Every time, he woulde up with wild ideas. In Bai Fusheng¡¯s opinion, these ideas were all unprofessional and difficult to achieve.
When he heard about time travel this time, his first reaction was to think that he had another crazy idea.
At this thought, Feng Qi picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Bai Fusheng.
¡°Grandmaster, I¡¯m not done yet. You¡¯ve misunderstood me. How can I have the ability to build a time machine?¡±
¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on first.¡±
Hearing this, Feng Qi felt helpless.
He knew that Bai Fusheng had a straightforward temper. In the past, when he had a falling out with his teacher, Wang Jinsheng, it was rted to differences in their ideologies.
He felt that Wang Jinsheng had excellent talent in cultivation technique research, but he was wasting his talent by bing a middle school teacher.
After several failed attempts at persuasion, the two of them broke off contact.
Faced with Bai Fusheng¡¯s questioning, Feng Qi immediately began to exin seriously.
¡°Grandmaster, it¡¯s not that I want to build a time machine, but I can travel through the timeline. You must think that I studied cultivation techniques like the Ferocious Tiger Fist, but that¡¯s not the case¡¡±
Listening to his exnation, Bai Fusheng¡¯s expression gradually changed.
At first, he didn¡¯t believe him, but he gradually believed Feng Qi¡¯s words.
Especially when he found out that the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute had joined Breaking Dawn, he could not help but be stunned.
He didn¡¯t think that Feng Qi was joking with him.
After exining his situation briefly for a few hours, Feng Qi took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.
¡°Grandmaster, I need your help. Next, I want to start promoting super virtual games with Star City Academy as the starting point.¡±
After hearing his story, Bai Fusheng was silent for a long time.
After digesting the entire content, he looked up at Feng Qi and nodded heavily.
¡°Ah Qi, I believe you. The Star City Academy will fully support your decision!¡±
Looking at Bai Fusheng, Feng Qi was inexplicably touched.
Over the years, Bai Fusheng had helped him greatly.
Especially in the initial stages, it was thanks to Bai Fusheng¡¯s support many times that his n could proceed smoothly.
This time was no exception.
Once again, Bai Fusheng chose to give his full support.
¡°Thank you, Grandmaster.¡±
¡°Next, tell me about your n in detail.¡± Bai Fusheng took the teacup and took a sip.
Feng Qi nodded.
Next, he began to exin in detail his ns and arrangements for the super virtual game.
There were 13 virtual gaming capsules in Star City Academy at this stage.
They were stored in room 1019 of the gymnasium and were not open to the public.
However, these gaming capsules were first-generation versions and had many issues, such as low realism, poor quality, and high loading dy.
He nned to transport a batch of thetest high-end gaming capsules from the super virtual gaming capsule factory outside Star City to enter Star City Academy and let the students try to use them.
Then, he would collect the feedback data.
At the same time, the super factory that had been sealed after the Scarlet Research Institute hid in the secret base was reactivated, and continued to build high-end virtual gaming capsules.
Then, starting from Star City Academy, it would extend its influence to all the academies throughout Star City.
During this period, it was provided to the military, the domainbat team, and other organizations at the same time.
As for why he didn¡¯t provide it to the military and the domainbat team first, it was mainly from a long-term perspective.
The soldiers of the military and the warriors of the domainbat team had generally experienced a cruel frontline life.
Their actualbat ability was extremely strong.
Super virtual reality games were rtively ineffective in improving them.
On the other hand, there was nock of students in the academy who were powerful butcked actualbat ability.
Their malleability was extremely strong. Super virtual games would make up for their shorings in actualbat and greatly increase theirbat strength.
When the war started, these students would also be a vital force in external wars.
After exining his thoughts to Bai Fusheng in detail, Bai Fusheng immediately nodded to express his understanding and was willing to cooperate fully with the promotion of the super virtual game, Breaking Dawn.
When he left Bai Fusheng¡¯s office, it was already three in the morning.
Facing the snowstorm, Feng Qi¡¯s steps were light.
The foreshadowing of multiple timelines was applied in his timeline.
He believed that thisbat timeline would bring him many surprises.
A weekter.
The door of the Star City Academy was wide open.
A convoy of trucks drove into Star City Academy and headed towards the stadium.
These transport trucks were specially used to transport resources from the Tiger Soul Research Institute, but this time, they were mobilized by Feng Qi to transport high-end virtual gaming capsules.
The convoy set off from the super factory outside Star City in the wee hours of the morning. They had only arrived at Star City Academy now.
Every car had a Star City Academy pass hanging on it. Next, these transport vehicles would continuously travel between the super factories and the Star City Academy to provide arge number of high-end virtual gaming capsules for the teachers and students of the entire school to use.
The students they met along the way looked curious, not understanding the reason for the arrival of these transport trucks.
At this moment, in the conference room of the academy, Bai Fusheng¡¯s meeting with the higher-ups was alsoing to an end.
¡°That¡¯s all for today. Organize a school assembly on the fieldter and notify everyone promptly. Dismiss!¡±
Hearing Bai Fusheng¡¯s order, everyone at the conference table stood up.
After leaving the conference room, they took out their phones and began to deploy the next school meeting..

On this day, Star City Academy was bustling with activity. The virtual gaming capsules were assembled in the gymnasium. After the field assembly ended, the students of the Star City Academy immediately understood what therge number of trucks that appeared in the academy today were transporting.
That day, arge number of students came to the gymnasium to try out the high-end gaming capsule.
After listening to Bai Fusheng¡¯s narration on the field, they felt that it was unreal and wanted to test it out themselves.
However, at this stage, Bai Fusheng had not indicated that it could be used freely. They could only wait outside the gymnasium.
In the principal¡¯s office.
In front of Bai Fusheng sat a slightly fat old man with white hair.
Elder Liang, how is it? Do you have any thoughts?¡±
¡°Is this thing really as mysterious as you say? Virtual-reality technology? Why haven¡¯t I heard of it before?¡±
¡°Of course, Star City Academy will get the best resources first. Don¡¯t you know the academy¡¯s ranking?¡± Bai Fusheng chuckled.
When Elder Liang heard this, he immediately blew his beard and red. However, he did not refute it.
The Star City Academy was the number one academy in Star City. This was the consensus of all the people in Star City. The difference between the other academies and the Star City Academy was extremely huge, including the inclination of resources.
Elder Liang was the current principal of Starlight Academy in the North District of Star City.
Although its overall strength was far inferior to the Star City Academy, it was still one of the top academies in Star City.
After hearing Bai Fusheng¡¯s exnation, Elder Liang was silent for a long time before saying.
¡°Why don¡¯t you let me test the effect? I¡¯ll decide if I want to promote it in the academy.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Bai Fusheng nodded with a smile.
He was waiting for Elder Liang to take the initiative to ask.
He had already experienced thetest version of Breaking Dawn with Feng Qi¡¯s help.
At that time, he was shocked by the realistic technology of Breaking Dawn. He was filled with confidence when facing his old friend. He knew that as long as he experienced it, he would agree to his request.
He could alsoplete the mission given by Feng Qi.
¡°Follow me to the gymnasium. The virtual gaming capsule is already there.¡± Bai Fusheng stood up. Seeing this, Elder Liang immediately left the principal¡¯s office with Bai Fusheng.
An hourter, Bai Fusheng appeared in the gymnasium with Elder Liang, the principal of Starlight Academy.
At this moment, the gymnasium was cordoned off and students were temporarily not allowed to enter.
Arge number of staff members were renovating the gymnasium and assembling the virtual gaming capsules.
Subsequently, the gymnasium would bepletely transformed into a ¡°virtual gaming hall.¡±
They brought Elder Liang into Room 1 and stopped in front of the high-end gaming capsule that had a metallic luster under the light.
After Bai Fusheng¡¯s detailed exnation, Elder Liang quickly understood how to use these virtual gaming capsules.
A momentter, Elder Liangy in one of the virtual cabins.
The nutrient solution flowed out through the hole in the wall of the cabin, and the virtual cabin lid above his head slowly fell.
His vision was gradually shrouded in darkness¡
Just as Elder Liang was feeling puzzled, a dot of light suddenly appeared in front of him. In an instant, it was as if the starry sky had exploded as countless stars appeared in his vision.
The scene was so real that it made him feel as if he was in the universe.
Then, the words ¡°Breaking Dawn¡± gradually erged in front of his eyes. ¡°Identification in progress¡ Connecting to the database¡ Identification confirmed¡ Since this is your first time entering Breaking Dawn, please name your character (Note: This game does not allow you to change your name, so please choose your name carefully).¡±
Looking at the virtual keyboard that popped up in front of him, he hesitated for a moment before typing ¡°Elder Liang¡±.
Immediately, the virtual screen disappeared and his character¡¯s data appeared. It listed his current physical attributes, the skills he had mastered, and other details such as skill proficiency.
Because it was a new character, it had no abilities.
When the character was created, the scene in front of him dissipated like smoke.
When his vision cleared, Elder Liang realized that he was in a bustling city. Everything seemed so real.
The bright full moon in the sky, the marble pavement, the fountain in the distance¡ Even his shadow would move in synchronization with his body movements.
He thought of what Bai Fusheng had said. This super virtual game would solve the problem of students¡¯ safety during confrontational training.
At that time, he did not believe it.
However, when he saw such a realistic scene, he suddenly believed it.
At this moment, a loud bang came from the sky. He looked up and saw a huge sky beast flying over his head. Its figure that covered the sky was filled with oppression.
Roar!
With a deep roar, a violent wind swept over, causing him to stagger a few steps. When the behemoth flew towards the bright moon in the sky, Elder Liang was already shocked to the extreme.
¡°How realistic!¡± He could not help but mutter to himself.
At this moment, the electronically synthesized voice sounded again.
¡°Character creationplete. Do you want to start the novice tutorial to familiarize yourself with the game?¡±
Without any hesitation, Elder Liang immediately said.
¡°Yes!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the function panel appeared in front of him.
Next was the cumbersome tutorial for beginners. As he listened to the electronic voice, videos popped up from time to time to exin.
Elder Liang gradually understood the gamey.
However, when he saw the introduction of the virtual dungeon¡¯s function panel, he was dumbfounded.
He suddenly realized something.
If this game could be perfected, the difficulty of the frontline warriors attacking the domain field in the future would be greatly reduced. Every time they cleared a dungeon in the game, they would be simting an actualbat strategy.
When the novice tutorial ended, Elder Liang wanted to try Breaking Dawn¡¯s matchmaking feature again.
However, the system notification that popped up made him give up on doing SO.
[Sorry¡ There is only 1 yer online at the moment. The minimum requirement for the matchmaking training is 10 yers. Unable to initiate matchmaking training.]
Regretfully, he could only open the function panel and choose to exit the game.
Soon, his vision was enveloped by darkness again.
The gaming capsule above his head slowly opened, and Elder Liang opened his eyes.
The moment he bent down and stood up, Eider Liang decisively looked at the smiling Bai Fusheng and said excitedly.
-Old Bai, I agree with your suggestion, but you have to equip Starlight Academy with 10,000 of these virtual gaming capsules first!¡±
10,000 units? Why not go and rob someone?¡±
¡°Then 5,000!¡±
¡°Get lost. We¡¯ll talk about it after my Star City Academy¡¯s virtual cabin is set up. Wait m line¡ Besides, I can¡¯t decide on this matter. You¡¯ll have to contact Ah Qi.¡±
¡°Who¡¯s Ah Qi?¡± Elder Liang asked anxiously.
After experiencing it, he understood the value of super virtual games.
If they had arranged it earlier, they would be able to quickly increase the overall strength of the academy. Perhaps Starlight Academy would be able to greatly increase its ranking or even advance to a top academy..

Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
After finishing his morning of Fist Force training, Feng Qi took a shower and changed into a new set of clothes. He went to the data control panel in the corner of the training room and sat down.
After waking up the screen, he logged into the Star City Academy forum.
These few days, the super virtual game ¡°Breaking Dawn¡± was officially released in Star City Academy.
He wanted to see the feedback on the students¡¯ experience.
After entering the ount ID and password, the page entered the forum of the Star City Academy, and arge number of discussion threads appeared.
As he had expected, the students¡¯ recent discussions were rted to Breaking Dawn.
[Looking for someone who can pull an all-nighter! Our team needs a field medic urgently. We do not need a warrior; if you have abat strength of Bronze 3 or higher, Join us. We¡¯remitted to staying awake until we reach Silver tonight!]
[Can anyone identify the ss of the yer ¡°Bai Ze¡±? He was on my team for three games straight, causing us to lose each time. I was on the verge of advancing to Bronze, but he dragged us down again and again. I¡¯m frustrated. I want to confront him in real life for a showdown.]
[This game is fantastic; I¡¯mpletely hooked. The only downside is theck of a pain block function¡ªit makes me wince sometimes. However, the thrill of stealing a base is exhrating.]
[When will Breaking Dawn be essible to other academies? It¡¯s time for Star City Academy to unite and dominate the other academies. Another question: why isn¡¯t the dungeon function avable at this stage? When can we expect this feature to be released?]
[ying tactics took a toll on my heart. We were on the verge of victory, but our base camp got stolen. The defeat hit me. When can I finally make it to Silver?]
Looking through the posts on the Star City Academy forum, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
From these posts, it could be seen that the preliminary test of Breaking Dawn was very sessful.
Come to think of it, it made sense.
Breaking Dawn went through many modifications and improvements.
The initial version of the super virtual game was essentially just a game. It provided more entertainment valuepared to actualbat training, and its social aspects outweighed the functional experience.
Because of this, this super virtual game created the richest man in human society in history.
However, after the Scarlet Research Institute officially took over the super virtual game project, the super virtual game shouldered the problem of improving the safety of the students¡¯ confrontational training.
Other than that, the subsequent domain dungeons, experimental bases, and other functions were all to promote the advancement of various human subjects.
The game was given a mission that went far beyond the game itself.
With the improvement of multiple timelines, the super virtual reality game had long surpassed the original version in history.
Regardless of the simtion degree or the rationality design of the matchmaking system, deep improvement and perfecting have been carried out.
It shifted away from recreationalism while enhancing rationality in adversarial training.
The Scarlet Research Institute currently had two trump cards.
Both of them could have a major impact on the progress of human civilization.
The first was Flesh Sacrifice.
This cultivation technique could be said to be a divine-level cultivation technique that cultivated the basics. It could greatly increase the upper limit of the growth of the bloodline¡¯s strength.
When Fog first came into contact with the trajectory of Flesh Sacrifice on the miracle blood stone, it originally wanted to provide it for its nsmen to grow and use.
However, after discovering the use of Flesh Sacrifice, it changed its mind.
To be valued so much by Fog, it was obvious how powerful this cultivation technique was.
Wang Jinsheng was continuing to decipher Flesh Sacrifice at the Scarlet Research Institute. Once he sessfully unraveled thetent risks within Flesh Sacrifice, human cultivation would undoubtedly see a substantial improvement.
In the future, he could even develop more cultivation techniques based on Flesh Sacrifice.
As for why thisbat timeline did not promote Flesh Sacrifice to increase the overall strength of the warriors, the reason was simple.
Back then, the miracle blood stone that Fog had obtained was iplete. Other factions had miracle blood stones.
He couldn¡¯t guarantee that other races in the other domains could alsoprehend the trajectory of the miracle blood stone like Fog and figure out something simr to the Flesh Cauldron.
This was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.
After history changed, anything was possible.
Therefore, before solving the hidden problem of the Flesh Sacrifice, this cultivation technique was still considered a potential trump card and could not be used normally.
Otherwise, it could cause an unimaginable disaster.
If the virtual game failed, Star City would be destroyed, but if Flesh Sacrifice were used wrongly, all of humanity would be destroyed.
He wanted to see the impact of the super virtual reality game on the future. He did not want to see the end of human civilization.
The second trump card of the Scarlet Research Institute was the ¡°super virtual game¡±unched this time.
The concept of the metaverse existed in the world before the cmity.
However, with the technology at that time, the concept of the metaverse was purely hype. No corresponding technology could realize it.
In essence, a super virtual game was a metaverse.
In Feng Qi and the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s concept, the super virtual game would be promoted in all human society. At that time, this game would also be a tform for all ordinary people to grow in the virtual environment with geniuses.
Perhaps it could give birth to talents that should have been drowned in the tide of history.
This was not his fantasy.
Resources in the real world were limited, especially in professions that required a lot of resources, such as alchemy.
Ordinary people could not afford these expenses.
However, in a super virtual game environment, everyone could use simted spiritual nts for testing. The cost was only the consumption of nutrient solutions and electricity..

Chapter 650: Matchmaking Competition (2)

This would greatly reduce the consumption of resources for talent cultivation and open up a path for ordinary people to enter the resource-consumption profession.
This was also the reason why Feng Qi and the Scarlet Research Institute had always regarded super virtual games as a trump card that could change the future.
However, in thisbat timeline, the preparations for the promotion of super virtual games were not sufficient.
The hidden dangers within human society were not eliminated.
It was destined that the usage of super virtual games in this battle line would be restricted, and they would not be able toplete the historical mission he and the Scarlet Research Institute had envisioned.
However, Feng Qi had considered this when he decided tounch the super virtual game.
He considered the possibility of a crisis.
Next, he would continue to promote Breaking Dawn in the various universities in Star City. Then, he would promote it to the military and the domainbat teams stationed in Star City.
He wanted to build a virtual training ground in Star City and quickly increase thebat strength of the military, academies, andbat teams.
They were preparing for the uing battle.
Feng Qi knew that there were many hidden dangers in this n.
For example, if other hidden factions in Star City had yet to be discovered, would they reveal information about the super virtual game?
However, investigating this information was the mission of hisbat timeline.
Luring the snake out of its hole required bait.
Super virtual games might be able to lure out many hidden domain factions.
The risk of doing so was high.
But if one didn¡¯t give up something, one wouldn¡¯t be able to fish out the hidden forces behind the scenes.
Standing up, Feng Qi came to the jade statue and sat down. He began to meditate to deepen his mental connection to increase his control over his innate ability.
In thisbat timeline, one¡¯s strength was important.
Stabilization was only temporary. In the future, they would wee cruel ughter.
Feng Qi realized that when he was unafraid of death, his mental state would be iparably powerful when he cultivated.
It was especially beneficial to the cultivation of Fist Force.
The indomitable Fist Force matched his mental state perfectly.
Just like this sacrifice timeline of his.
Once he threw a punch, there was no turning back. Even if mountains of des and seas of mesy ahead, he could still break through with sheer force. If breaking through was impossible, then he would face death.
Self-sacrificing was invincible.
Starlight Academy.
Conference room.
¡°Elder Liang, I disagree with your proposal. Since Starlight Academy aims to climb the ranks, we should allocate our resources towards enhancing the students¡¯ cultivation. While I wouldn¡¯t oppose investing in the improvement of the quality of our food and drinks, virtual games are too ephemeral. I object to such procurement!¡±
The one who spoke was a burly man with w marks on his face. He looked rather fierce.
In the face of Elder Liang¡¯s suggestion to purchase high-end virtual capsules, the man raised a righteous objection.
At this moment, he continued.
¡°I understand your intention to boost Starlight Academy¡¯s ranking and secure more resources for the students. However, for genuine improvement, we must be practical. Our regr resources at Starlight Academy amount to less than a fifth of what Star City Academy has. Investing them in high-end virtual gaming capsules now would be a detriment to both the academy and the students if we were to fail.¡±
Facing the man¡¯s righteous words, Elder Liang exined with a smile. ¡°Xiao Guo, have you tried the super virtual game? If you haven¡¯t yed it, how can you be sure that this game can¡¯t bring substantial improvement to our Starlight Academy¡¯s overall strength?¡±
¡°Moreover, do you believe we can make purchases at our whim? If we intend to buy, we must wait our turn. From what I understand, we can only make a purchase when Star City Academy¡¯s quota reaches 30%. Even then, securing our turn will entailpeting through joint virtualpetitions between the academies. Your thinking is overly simplistic.¡±
Hearing this, the burly man named Xiao Guo opened his mouth and finally shook his head.
¡°The Star City Academy can afford to experiment and ration resources as they please They have the luxury to try, even if it results in waste. However, the conditions at our Starlight Academy are significantly less favorablepared to Star City Academy. The oues of procurement may not align with our expectations and could be an inefficient use of teaching resources. I propose that we assess the experience of the Star City Academy first before making a decision.¡±
Elder Liang, who was sitting at the master seat, shook his head helplessly. ¡°Xiao Guo, I understand your concerns. You believe that the Star City Academy can afford to waste resources, and we cannot blindly follow suit. However, I visited the Star City Academy to experience the super virtual game. I can assure you that this game will effectively address student safety in confrontational training. It has the potential to greatly enhance the overall strength of our academy!¡±
Elder Liang swept his gaze across the hesitant higher-ups present. After some thought, he said.
¡°How about this? Come with me to Star City Academy. I¡¯ll bring you guys to experience it personally and vote to decide if Starlight Academy should buy high-end virtual gaming capsules. What do you think?¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Xiao Guo immediately nodded.
¡°Then let¡¯s set off now. Xiao Guo, go arrange the car. I¡¯ll contact Old Bai now. Meeting adjourned!¡±
At this moment, everyone stood up one after another. After saluting the g ced at the front of the conference room, they left.
A few hourster, at the Star City Academy.
A bus passed through the security check and drove into Star City Academy. Then, it drove along thekeshore toward the gymnasium.
A momentter, the bus stopped in front of the Star City Academy gymnasium, which was now the ¡°Virtual Gymnasium.¡±
Elder Liang led a group of higher-ups from Starlight Academy out of the car. This wasn¡¯t their first visit to the Star City Academy. Every year, the school exchange meeting in Star City took ce at the Star City Academy..

They were all sincerely proud of this academy that was filled with the colors of history.
This was one of the facades of Star City.
At the same time, the Star City Academy was also the target that their Starlight
Academy had been chasing.
After a short wait, Bai Fusheng¡¯s figure appeared in the distance.
¡°Elder Liang, what are you up to now?¡±
Bai Fusheng asked with a smile.
-Why are you asking when you already know the answer? Bring us in to experience it first.¡± Elder Liang rolled his eyes.
After some small talk, Bai Fusheng led Elder Liang and the other higher-ups of Starlight Academy up the marble steps to the Virtual Gymnasium.
At this moment, there was already a long queue in front of the Virtual Gymnasium.
At this stage, there were already 5,000 virtual gaming capsules installed in the
Virtual Gymnasium, but it was far from enough to satisfy the entire school.
Although the Virtual Gymnasium maintained 24 hours of operation, it still could not satisfy the enthusiastic students.
With the aid of the nutrient solution, numerous students were able to sustain a continuous 24 hours of gaming. This left many students who had not yet experienced it feeling intrigued.
However, there was a limited number of virtual gaming capsules. They could only queue to experience it.
He brought Elder Liang and the other higher-ups of Starlight Academy into the Virtual Gymnasium and came to Room 3, which was only used by teachers. Observing the activation of the virtual capsules, Bai Fusheng approached the screen in the corner of the room and pressed the ¡°awakening¡± function.
This function was mainly set to deal with unexpected situations.
For example, when a fire appeared, the one-tap awakening function in the room could make the students and teachers who were still experiencing the game urgently quit the game.
A few minutester, the gaming capsules in the room opened one after another.
Dozens of teachers who were experiencing the game bent down and stood up in surprise, clearly not understanding what had happened.
Bai Fusheng pped his hands and attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Then, he said.
¡°Everyone, the teachers of Starlight Academy especially came over to experience the game. Please make way.¡±
Hearing this, everyone in the gaming capsule looked helpless.
Some people even muttered that it was immoral to disconnect them, but no one dared to disrespect Bai Fusheng. They immediately stood up from the gaming capsule.
After everyone left the gaming capsules, Bai Fusheng turned to look at Elder Liang.
¡°Let¡¯s bring them to try it out. Other than the dungeon, the other functions are already avable.¡±
Hearing this, Elder Liang immediately nodded. Then, he turned to the higher-ups of Starlight Academy and began to exin the usage of the virtual gaming capsule.
After exining, he led them into the men¡¯s and women¡¯s cubicles and began to change their clothes.
After everything was prepared, the higher-ups of Starlight Academy entered the virtual gaming capsules one after another andy down.
After arriving at the Star City Academy¡¯s Virtual Gymnasium, they had already believed most of Elder Liang¡¯s words.
It was obvious that this super virtual game was sought after by the teachers and students of Star City Academy.
Star City Academy couldn¡¯t let purely entertainment games enter the academy. Therefore, the answer was obvious whether this super virtual game could significantly increase the overall strength of the academy.
However, before experiencing the game¡¯s content, they could not give a neutral evaluation of this super virtual game.
They were no longer so resistant to purchasing them.
With curiosity, everyoney t in the virtual gaming capsule and pressed the ¡°start¡± button on the wall.
Immediately, a brand new nutrient solution flowed out of the hole and gradually enveloped their entire bodies.
The translucent blue lid slowly descended at this moment, and their vision was gradually enveloped by darkness.
In an instant, it was as if a gxy had exploded. Countless starlight appeared
in their vision.
The moment they entered Breaking Dawn, everyone was pleasantly surprised. The shock brought about by the immersive experience was especially intense. At this moment, it was as if they were in the starry sky.
Next was the naming, novice tutorial, and other preliminary processes.
When the novice tutorial ended, what appeared in front of the higher-ups was a bustling city scene.
At this moment, they were in the center of the marble square.
In front of them was a musical fountain that kept changing the shape of the water. On the right stood the golden statues of the 10 warriors with the highest points at the current stage of the rankings.
A tall building stood in the distance, and countless ck birds and strange-looking demon beasts soared in the sky.
Everything seemed so real, making them feel like they hade to a new world where technology and demons coexisted.
In a daze, they felt like they had transmigrated to another world.
At this moment, there were still arge number of Star City Academy students in the square. They were using their in-game names to chat.
¡°Looking for a healer at the Iron rank. We¡¯ve got a five-game winning streak. Beginners, keep your distance, or get ready for a beatdown offline!¡± -Our professional team is racing for the top and we need two tank-type warriors in the front row. Join us now!¡±
¡°Calling all my ss 2rades! Get into the room quickly. It¡¯s time to show those ss 5 guys what we¡¯re made of. In real life, I¡¯m worried about you getting hurt, so I¡¯ll settle it in the game!¡±
¡°Searching for a carry for the to vs topetition. Our teammate went for lunch and couldn¡¯t make it back to the game. He¡¯s still in the queue outside. Join us quickly!¡±
Hearing the shouts in their ears, the higher-ups of Starlight Academy finally believed what Elder Liang said.
Such a realistic virtual scene could simte a real-life confrontation.
Especially Guo Quan, who had strongly opposed the acquisition of high-end virtual capsules, continued to nce around..

The determination in his heart dissipated at this moment.
¡°Why don¡¯t we try it out?¡± At this moment, someone in the team suggested. Everyone immediately nodded at this suggestion.
They could not wait to test the core content of this super virtual game.
Next, Guo Quan created a room and added everyone as friends.
There were a total of 26 people, and they could only choose a 30 vs 30 team match.
¡°Everyone, restrain yourselves. After all, they¡¯re all students. There¡¯s no need to be too serious,¡± Guo Quan said at this moment.
When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.
At this moment, on the other side of the virtual main city square of Breaking Dawn.?? ¡ã
A group of bald men was looking around in surprise. They could not hide the shock in their eyes.
The man in the lead had eight scars on his head. He looked strong, and his muscles swelled with every breath he took.
At this moment, he eximed.
¡°Oh my God, this is the virtual game that Xiao Qi mentioned. It¡¯s too realistic!¡± ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t we test the effect of actualbat?¡± At this moment, a bald man beside him said expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Zong Ming, the current leader of the Prajnabat team immediately nodded.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s give it a shot. However, keep in mind that most gamers at this Stage are Star City Academy students. Everyone, exercise restraint. Avoid being excessively ruthless with them.¡±
Hearing this, the core team of the Prajnabat team revealed malicious smiles.
This time, the Prajnabat team had obtained the experience quota of 23 virtual gaming capsules in advance. Zong Ming, who was curious about this, decided to bring the core team members to experience the test.
Unexpectedly, he received a huge surprise after entering the game.
After creating the room ording to the procedure, Zong Ming pressed the 30 vs 30 matchmaking mode.
After a short wait, the words ¡°Match Found¡± appeared, and right on the heels of that, a golden Breaking Dawn g appeared in the center of his vision.
By chance, Starlight Academy and the core team of the Prajnabat team were matched.
Thebat strength of the Starlightbat team was not weak.
They had some experience on the front line, but they were a level below the core team of the Prajnabat team, which lived on the front line and faced life-threatening situations regrly.
The administration of Starlight Academy was more theoretical, whereas the core team of the Prajnabat team focused on practical aspects.
In particr, themander, Zong Ming, possessed a level ofmand skill honed in actualbat that surpassed the capabilities of those in Starlight Academy.
After entering the game to familiarize himself with the process for a short period.
The management of Starlight Academy, who had nned to adapt slowly, realized that something was wrong.
Despite having a numerical advantage, they found themselves at a disadvantage against the enemy.
Guo Quan, leading the team, opted for a surprise attack on the enemy¡¯s base camp, prepared to engage in a fight to the death.
Despite having twice the number of people, when facing the dozen or so members of the Prajnabat team who remained, they were still overwhelmed and eventually respawned at their base.
After Struggling hard, they did not escape the oue of failure.
This was a one-sided suppression, causing everyone from Starlight Academy to doubt themselves.
When the match was over, everyone who refused to admit defeat prepared to start another game.
At this moment, the gaming capsule slowly opened, and they were forced to exit the game mode.
Bai Fusheng, who had watched the entire match through the control panel in the room, couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud.
Elder Liang, on the other hand, had a sullen expression and looked very displeased.
¡°We underestimated our opponent at the start of the match just now. We didn¡¯t choose our skills well. Let¡¯s y another round,¡± Guo Quan, who was leading the team, immediately said.
¡°That¡¯s enough; the gap in strength is too apparent. We observed your match from God¡¯s perspective just now. We¡¯ll lose if we y again¡ Besides, you¡¯ve had your share of experience. It¡¯s our turn to y now.¡±
At this moment, a Star City Academy teacher standing beside Guo Quan smiled and said.
Helpless, Guo Quan and the others could only get up from the gaming capsule.
After chatting for a while, Elder Liang led Guo Quan and the others out of the Virtual Gymnasium and sat back on the bus.
As soon as he got into the car, Guo Quan, who was firmly against purchasing the virtual gaming capsules, immediately looked at Elder Liang and said.
¡°Elder Liang, I agree to the purchase. When the virtual gaming capsules will be sent to our Starlight Academy.¡±
-Do you think you can make a purchase just because you desire it? I mentioned that we have to wait in line. We need to be patient until it¡¯s our turn,¡± Elder Liang said with frustration.
¡°That¡¯s troublesome. Whichpany is in charge of creating this batch of virtual gaming capsules? Can we use our connections?¡±
Upon hearing this, Elder Liang couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
¡°If it were possible, I would have tried it a long time ago.¡±
¡°Only when the Star City Academy¡¯s quota is filled to 30% can our Starlight
Academy and other academies have a chance.¡±
¡°After each academy reaches the 30% quota, the only way to secure virtual gaming capsule quotas is through the uing virtual match challenge. Let the students of our academypete for rankings. The higher our students¡¯ rankings, the more quotas we can secure for our academy!¡±
After hearing Elder Liang¡¯s exnation, Guo Quan could not help butin.
¡°Doesn¡¯t that imply that the academy securing the virtual gaming capsule first has an advantage, enabling them to initiate confrontational training earlier and gain a lead in every aspect?¡±
So now you understand why I¡¯m in such a hurry, right?¡±
Upon hearing this, the higher-ups of Starlight Academy immediately felt a strong sense of urgency.
After experiencing it, they understood the meaning behind this game..

Chapter 653: Energy Research Institute (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
After hanging up, Feng Qi looked helpless.
This was already the 27th call today.
Some time ago, he returned to Star City Academy and entrusted Bai Fusheng with a task to help promote Breaking Dawn in various academies in Star City. During this period, Bai Fusheng kept inviting the management of the various academies to experience Breaking Dawn.
The management of the various universities gave excellent feedback after experiencing Breaking Dawn, causing his phone to be bombarded with calls.
Every day, the principals of various academies woulde to order the super virtual gaming capsules.
They were even willing to purchase in bulk at a price higher than 20% of the market.
He was not interested in money.
Choosing to sell the virtual gaming capsules at a fee was not profitable at all.
The money earned from the sale was all used to purchase resources and subsidize the employees of the ¡°virtual super factory¡± who worked overtime day and night.
He had never thought of relying on super virtual games to earn money.
The meaning of living on thisbat timeline was to fight to the death. Money was just a worldly possession. No matter how much he obtained, he would not be able to take it away.
Ideals were more important than money. It was never a joke to him.
He could only express his regret at the entreaties of the enthusiastic management personnel of the various universities.
But recently, he was nning the expansion of the virtual super factory.
The virtual super factory left behind by the Scarlet Research Institute before it retired from the world was still in its initial stages. The virtual gaming capsule produced every day could not satisfy even Star City.
To turn Breaking Dawn into a training ground, production was the most important part.
To achieve this goal, the military recently put in a lot of effort.
Apart from helping to recruit workers for the virtual super factory, the military also sent some soldiers to the assembly line of the super factory to elerate theyout of Breaking Dawn.
Feng Qi also had a detailed n for the deployment of the virtual gaming capsules.
He nned to satisfy the 30% quota requirement of the various universities first.
The following quotas were fought forpetitively.
Every month, there would be a quota rankingpetition in which universities would participate collectively. Thepetition involved battling in teams of 100 individuals, with no restrictions on the number of participating teams from each university. Ultimately, they would contend for allocation slots for the virtual gaming capsule based on their points ranking.
Doing so would not only bring the quota of the virtual gaming capsules but also the honor of the academy.
He believed thatpetition would lead to more efficient progress.
As he was thinking about his next n, his phone rang.
When he picked up the phone, he realized that it was a call from the director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
¡°President Qi, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Ah Qi, the expansion of the virtual super factory is in progress. Lately, the energy consumption there has been substantial. The original energy line is no longer sufficient to support the daily needs of the expanded virtual super factory. They now require a new energy line¡ I¡¯ve been upied and can¡¯t go out recently. Given your high authority in the Tiger Soul Research Institute, you have the right to sign the document. You can act as the representative of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and go to the Energy Research Institute to handle the paperwork.¡±
After hearing the director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute exin the situation, Feng Qi immediately nodded and said.
¡°Understood. I¡¯ll set off now.¡±
After hanging up, Feng Qi stood up and walked to the cubicle of the training room.
After taking a shower and changing into a new set of clothes, he dialed a number as he walked out of the headquarters building.
A few secondster, the call went through.
¡°Arrange a car for me to go to the Energy Research Institute.¡±
¡°Understood.¡± On the other end of the phone, the staff member of the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯sbat team immediately replied.
As Feng Qi stepped out of the headquarters, a military vehiclebeled ¡°Tiger Soul Research Institute¡± was already parked nearby.
The window rolled down and the armed man in sunsses nodded at him. Then, he pressed the switch and opened the car door.
After getting into the car, the military vehicle drove towards the entrance of the base.
After leaving the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute base, the military vehicle drove to the West District of Star City.
The four regions of Star City each had their characteristics.
Most of the industries in the western region were energy industries, which provide electricity, natural gas, and other energy to other regions.
The research institute located in the West District of Star City also generally focused on energy research.
For example, Feng Qi¡¯s destination this time, was the Energy Research Institute.
After a four-hour journey, the military vehicle stopped outside the Energy Research Institute¡¯s base.
Feng Qi alighted at this moment.
The air quality here was inferior to the East District. He looked in the direction of the Energy Research Institute¡¯s base. There was thick smokeing from several factories inside, and there was a strange smell in the air.
In modern society, power stations were running on spiritual stones.
However, the quota of spiritual stones in Star City typically had to be allocated to Scarlet Research Institute, Tiger Soul Research Institute, and other research institutes first. Finally, it was distributed to the few Energy Research Institutes in Star City¡¯s western district.
As a result, the scale of the pure clean-energy spiritual stones power station could not be expanded.
Star City¡¯s electricity supply mainly relied on nuclear power and thermal power stations.
Regarding wind energy, sr energy, water energy, and other electricity generation methods, they were constrained by geographical environments and couldn¡¯t be widely adopted in Star City.
The research institutes located in various districts consumed a lot of electricity.
The power stations alone could not satisfy the daily consumption of the Star City Research Institute and the residents of Star City.
Arriving at the entrance of the Energy Research Institute, Feng Qi received a facial scan from the security guards and was let in.
Next, he was led to the Energy Research Institute¡¯s headquarters by a staff member.
He walked to the third floor.
On his way, he observed numerous staff members passing by, d in special protective suits that enveloped them tightly..
Chapter 654 - 654: Energy Research Institute (2)
Chapter 654: Energy Research Institute (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
The Energy Research Institute was responsible for not only the output of pure energy but also the research of new materials.
For example, new spiritual material or new spiritual stones that did not exist in the existing database were produced in the domain fields.
They would be sent to the Energy Research Institute for ¡°analytical research.¡±
In the end, many items would be rated.
For example, the toughness of the spiritual mine, the content and quality of the Spiritual Qi, and other data were recorded in the Star City database and shared with the databases of the five major cities.
Research into new materials was fraught with risks.
For instance, certain spirit ores emitted potent radiation with high pration power. Ordinary protective suits offered no defense against such radiation damage. Proximity to these ores could harm the human immune system and lead to a chronic radiation disease akin to leukemia.
If a researcher were to approach a spirit mine with intense radiation their body would swiftly deteriorate, leading to a loss of life within a short period.
In addition to radiation damage from certain spirit mines, there were also risks in the study of new spiritual nts.
Not only were there many cases of being killed by spiritual nts but there were also many cases.
For example, back then, three blood-colored nts were sent to the Energy Research Institute. When the attributes of the spiritual nts were analyzed the blood-colored nts grew quickly and devoured two employees alive.
By the time the security guards arrived and dissected the blood-colored nt the staff member who had been swallowed had long been corroded. Not even ¡¯ bones were left.
Pioneers of exploration frequently face numerous dilemmas, yet valuable lessons are often gleaned from these hard-fought experiences.
The specialboratory suit of the Energy Research Institute had been improved many times.
The purpose was to prevent all kinds of dangers during the research of new materials.
When he arrived at the director¡¯s office on the third floor, the staff member left. Feng Qi took two steps forward and knocked on the door.
¡°Come in.¡± A gentle female voice sounded from behind the door.
Without hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
What appeared in front of him was a simple office. The furnishings were very simple, and the decorations were mainly in warm colors. A young woman in an Energy Research Institute uniform was sitting at her desk, looking straight at the screen. She was busy.
Her appearance was charming and graceful. The earnest gaze she directed at the screen held an indescribable allure, stirring the soul.
Feng Qi was surprised to find that the current director of the Energy Research Institute was a young woman.
At this moment, the woman turned to look at him with a charming smile on her face.
¡°You¡¯re Feng Qi, right? I¡¯m the current director of the Energy Research Institute, Yin Ling. Have a seat.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately went to her desk and sat down.
The woman lowered her head and began to rummage through the documents on the desk. At the same time, she said.
¡°Elder Qi has briefed me on the situation, and we¡¯ve already outlined a blueprint for the new energy line structure. However, we still need to follow the formal process. After all, this document must undergo review by the Star City Supreme Council.¡±
As she spoke, the woman suddenly looked at him.
¡°What I¡¯m a little curious about is how you obtained the highest authority in the Tiger Soul Research Institute at such a young age¡ Of course, if this is confidential information, pretend I didn¡¯t ask.¡±
Faced with the question, Feng Qi smiled and nodded.
¡°Our Tiger Soul Research Institute values personal ability and not age. Besides, you¡¯re also very young, but you¡¯re already the director of the Energy Research ¡® Institute.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. Ability is the most important.¡± The woman smiled.
As if she had found the document that needed to be signed, the woman pulled it out of the pile of documents. Then, she stood up and handed the document to Feng Qi. She pointed at the end of the document and said.
¡°Sign here will do.¡±
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately nodded and reached out to take the fountain pen from the woman. He signed his name on the document signature column.
After handing the document back, he asked curiously.
¡°Director Yin, that should be all, right?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll arrange the structure of the energy line. If there¡¯s anything else, I¡¯llmunicate with Director Qi of your Tiger Soul Research Institute.¡±
In that case, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±
After confirming that there was nothing else for him to do, Feng Qi immediately stood up.
At this moment, Yin Ling smiled and nodded.
After leaving the office, Feng Qi walked straight out of the Energy Research Institute¡¯s headquarters building.
However, he was still a little curious. How did Yin Ling be the director of the Energy Research Institute at such a young age?
As for the others, such as the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet
Research Institute, almost all of them were old people.
It was not that the structure was pedantic.
These elders had worked hard since they were staff members. They had umted a lot of experience as they grew up. Apart from their outstanding work ability, their experience was also an important part of bing the director of a research institute.
He was just being polite when he told Yin Ling that she was good at her job.
Ability, experience, personality, and various other factors were the key factors
to bing the leader of the research institute.
The ability to work was not the only determinant.
For example, in the Scarlet Research Institute, no one was more capable than Wei Wei.
Nevertheless, the directorship of the Scarlet Research Institute changed hands several times throughout its history. Even Wei Wei¡¯s disciple had assumed the position of director, while Wei Wei retained her role as supervisor.
Therefore, personal ability was only one of the reference factors for a higher position.
However, Feng Qi did not think too much about it.
Havingpleted his task, he decided to return to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and continue his high-intensity training, preparing to face the difficult challenges in the future..

After Feng Qi left, Yin Ling, who was in the director¡¯s office, looked curious.
Feng Qi was intrigued by her, just as Yin Ling was curious about him.
At this moment, she turned to look at theputer screen. Then, she tapped on the keyboard a few times and opened the ess database.
Looking at the end of the document on the table, she entered the name ¡°Feng Qi¡± in the search bar.
After screening the conditions, Feng Qi¡¯s detailed information appeared on the screen.
Teacher of Star City Academy, recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, founder of Ferocious Tiger Fist, founder of Soul Assimtion¡
The more she read, the more shocked she became.
When Feng Qi mentioned his ability just now, she didn¡¯t think much of it.
Only then did she realize how outstanding Feng Qi¡¯s ability was.
He had already obtained many honors at such a young age.
However, what puzzled her was why the information showed that Feng Qi was a teacher of the Star City Academy, but he was secretly one of the highest authority holders of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Thinking of this, Yin Ling fell into deep thought.
As she pondered, a guess suddenly appeared in her mind.
From Feng Qi¡¯s resume, he was studying the field of cultivation techniques. Could it be that he had been secretly cooperating with the Tiger Soul Research Institute?
If it was just cooperation, it would have been impossible to obtain the highest authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Could it be that Feng Qi already had the structure of a super cultivation technique or even a divine-level cultivation technique?
That was why the Tiger Soul Research Institute valued him so much. Even if he didn¡¯t join the Tiger Soul Research Institute, they still gave him the highest authority.
However, the information about these projects was temporarily confidential, so it was not revealed to the public.
Thinking of this, Yin Ling¡¯s gaze turned cold.
The current clues all pointed to Feng Qi being a genius. This was not good news for her.
As her emotions fluctuated, Yin Ling¡¯s long ck hair gradually turned silver-white.
The silver glint in her dark eyes bloomed like a flower.
¡°Big Sister, do you think he¡¯s a potential danger?¡± At this moment, the space beside the woman distorted, and a handsome boy appeared.
He held an instrument shaped like a flute and had a cold expression.
¡°With such a genius in Star City, it will increase the overall strength of Star City. From a historical point of view, the impact is far-reaching. We have to think of a way to get rid of him!¡±
Hearing this, the little boy immediately nodded.
The first step of the Silver Moon Race¡¯s n was to upy Star City and then use Star City as the starting point to participate in the future struggle for supremacy.
In her opinion, the increase in Star City¡¯s overall strength was uneptable.
The stronger Star City was, the greater the losses they would have to face when they weed their nsmen in the future.
From this perspective, Feng Qi had already be a hidden danger.
¡°Big Sister, do you want me to get rid of him?¡± The little boy asked coldly.
¡°No need. You might risk showing yourself if you go. Go on, I¡¯ll figure out a way to handle him.¡±
Hearing this, the little boy did not answer. His figure distorted as he disappeared on the spot.
After the little boy left, Yin Ling opened the drawer and took out an encrypted cell phone. Then, she dialed a number.
A momentter, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡°Who is it?¡±
¡°My identity is not important. What¡¯s important is that I have a mission for you.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the reward?¡±
¡°300 high-level spiritual stones. The target is the Tiger Soul Research Institute¡ No, it¡¯s a teacher from the Star City Academy. His name is Feng Qi.¡±
¡°No problem, we¡¯ve taken on this task. Whenever it¡¯s time to execute, it depends on who¡¯s avable to take the assignment.¡±
After hanging up, a smile appeared on Yin Ling¡¯s face.
10 dayster.
Feng Qi, who was at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, received a package.
Inside the package was a ss bottle containing a faint purple liquid.
After taking out the ss bottle, he drank it without hesitation.
Immediately, the intelligence that the weak race alliance had recently received and was preparing to register appeared in his sea of consciousness.
As he flipped through it, he was stunned.
[Assassination Mission: Kill the Star City Academy Teacher, Feng Qi. Reward: 280 high-level spiritual stones!]
¡°What the¡ª!¡±
Chapter 656 - 656: Luring the Snake Out of Hiding (1)
Chapter 656: Luring the Snake Out of Hiding (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Feng Qi was stunned when he saw the mission to assassinate him.
About every 15 days, the weak race alliance would send the missions that they had recently epted and send them to the Tiger Soul Research Institute for him to review.
m advance, he would decline and prohibit the missions he didn¡¯t want to be posted.
At this stage, the missions epted and posted by the weak race alliance in Star City were under his control.
He had learned this from Fog.
After mastering the intelligencework of the weaker races, even if there were factors that were disadvantageous to him, he would be able to know in advance.
Now that the mission to assassinate him had appeared, Feng Qi was very puzzled.
Logically speaking, he had been keeping a low profile and had not produced any unbelievable cultivation results. How did he be the target of assassination?
Which hidden domain faction did he offend?
As he pondered, the first thing he thought of was the super virtual game. Recently, the promotion of super virtual games was in full swing. Perhaps the appearance of super virtual games had aroused the vignce of the hidden domain factions and treated him as a dangerous target.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the probability was very low.?? ¡¯
At this stage, those in Breaking Dawn who knew his true identity had all been tested by him through many timelines and confirmed to be reliable.
As for the other departments under Breaking Dawn, they only knew that Breaking Dawn existed.
However, they did not know that he was behind Breaking Dawn.
It was understandable that the super virtual reality game was exposed and aroused vignce. He had long been prepared, but no matter what, he couldn¡¯t be locked onto.
Since there was a high chance that there would not be any problems internally what was the problem?
This question made Feng Qi fall into deep thought.
He began to think about his recent schedule and whether he had ever exposed himself.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the Energy Research Institute.
Recently, he went to the Energy Research Institute and signed the agreement to set up a new energy line with the highest authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
¡°Could there be a problem with this step?¡±
But thinking about it carefully, Feng Qi felt that this guess was not reliable.
He could understand why the hidden domain factions chose the Tiger Soul Research Institute or even the Scarlet Research Institute.
However, he couldn¡¯t figure out why the Energy Research Institute was chosen. The authority of the Energy Research Institute was not high in Star City and it was also under the jurisdiction of the Star City Supreme Council. Its development was limited.
Controlling the Energy Research Institute was a worthless task.
He did not think that any domain faction would be stupid enough to do this and not obtain any benefits.
Moreover, the Energy Research Institute¡¯s monthly resource consumption had to be reported. It was difficult to deduct resources from it. It was impossible to freely decide the use of resources like the Tiger Soul Research Institute and Scarlet Research Institute.
However, to be safe, he immediately stood up and sat down in front of the screen.
After waking up the screen, he opened the ess database.
After entering Yin Ling¡¯s name, he began to filter gender and time.
A momentter, detailed information about Yin Ling appeared on the screen.
After carefully examining the information, Feng Qi realized that Yin Ling¡¯s information was normal and there were no problems.
ording to the information, Yin Ling was bom in the West District of Star City. Her parents were management personnel of the Energy Research Institute. The school she attended was the Mystical Materials Academy in Former Days City. After graduating with outstanding results, she returned to Star City and joined the Energy Research Institute as an intern.
During this period, Yin Ling disyed extremely strong abilities in all aspects and advanced all the way.
Two years ago, after the previous retired, the Star City Supreme Council voted that Yin Ling would be the new director of the Energy Research Institute.
With Yin Ling¡¯s authority, she couldn¡¯t change the information in Star City¡¯s authority database.
This was enough to prove the credibility of this information.
Moreover, Yin Ling was born in Star City and was not a neer. Therefore, the possibility of her being a domain creature was greatly reduced.
However, Feng Qi did notpletely rule out the possibility.
After all, the domain factions lurking in human society had their ways. It was too normal for them to switch identities.
Mental control, soul parasitism, behind-the-scenes control¡ He had seen all kinds of methods in so many timelines.
It was impossible to determine that the content of the information was credible just by relying on the content of the authorization.
But one thing was certain.
There were not many benefits to controlling the Energy Research Institute.
Yin Ling¡¯s growth trajectory was clear. If she were a domain creature, Fog and the Night Shadow Race had yet to appear when she arrived.
Why didn¡¯t she choose a research institute with higher authority? Instead, she chose the Energy Research Institute with one of the lowest authorities in Star City.
Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to control the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute?
He felt that there might still be another possibility.
This domain faction was rtively weak. They felt that they could not control the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute at all Therefore, they chose the Energy Research Institute with the lowest authority. Although the use of the Energy Research Institute¡¯s resources had to be reported, they could more or less deduct a portion of it to subsidize the family¡¯s use.
This guess might be true, but there was a logical loophole.
The characteristic of weak domain races was that theycked resources and their overallbat strength was weak.
How could they spend resources to deprive themselves? It was simply a thankless endeavor.
The energy line that was about to be set up had nothing to do with the interests of the Energy Research Institute. He was only a signatory. Even if he died, the energy line would continue to be set up.
After listing all kinds of possibilities, Feng Qi eliminated the possibility that there was something wrong with the Energy Research Institute..

So, what was the problem?
After thinking for a moment, Feng Qi decided to start fishing.
First, he would use bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
At the thought of this, he took out his encrypted cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
After waiting for a moment, the call went through. A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
¡°Who is it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me!¡±
Hearing the familiar voice, the tone on the other end of the phone instantly warmed up.
¡°Lord Narrator, what instructions do you have? Have you checked the recent mission list? Do you need to reject some missions in advance?¡±
Faced with a series of questions, Feng Qi said indifferently.
¡°There¡¯s a mission I need to consult you on.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
¡°I checked this batch of missions and discovered a mission to assassinate Star City Academy¡¯s teacher, Feng Qi. I want to know who issued this mission.¡± After a short silence on the other end of the line, he replied.
¡°Lord Narrator, the person who issued the mission used an encrypted phone.
When he ced the deposit, he was wrapped tightly. I couldn¡¯t see his face and figure at all.¡±
Feng Qi was not surprised to hear this answer.
The hidden domain factions cared about keeping their identities a secret the most. It was understandable that they chose not to reveal any information. ¡°Lord Narrator, do you want to cancel this mission?¡±
¡°No, you can¡¯t cancel it. Immediately release this mission, but ept it in your name. Don¡¯t give other factions a chance to ept it.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take on the mission?¡± The person on the other end of the phone sounded very surprised.
¡°Lord Narrator, do you mean that I should assassinate Star City Academy¡¯s teacher, Feng Qi?¡±
¡°Of course not. I want you to ept this mission and announce thepletion of the mission in two days. Then, you will appear to collect the subsequent rewards. At that time, I will go with you.¡±
Hearing this, the manager of the weak race alliance on the other end of the phone clearly understood what Feng Qi meant.
¡°Lord Narrator, are you trying to lure him out?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll arrange it for you now.¡±
After discussing the details of this mission in detail, Feng Qi hung up.
Next, he dialed Mu Qing¡¯s number and exined the next mission to her.
Since the hidden domain faction that issued the assassination mission was unwilling to show itself, he nned to lure it out by fishing.
Fog had used simr tricks before.
At that time, it didn¡¯t know which domain faction controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute and how strong they were.
However, it knew that the domain faction that controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been researching spells, and they had even restricted Lin Ran¡¯s freedom.
To find out the situation, it had once teamed up with Lin Ran to send a list of spiritual materials to the forces behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
One of them was the need for blood stones.
At that time, the Night Shadow Race had taken the bait and sent their members to trade with Fog, who hadpleted the mission.
Ultimately, they provided Fog with the conditions for sessful parasitism, and it sessfully infiltrated the Night Shadow Race.
Starting from that initial luring mission, Fog eventually defeated the Night Shadow Race, emerging as the new overseer of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
The luring technique he used this time was very simr.
He used the mission to lure the snake out of hiding.
To be safe, he decided to bring Mu Qing along when he officially made the deal.
At that time, even if something unexpected happened, he believed that with Mu Qing¡¯s strength, she could easily deal with it.
Next, all he needed to do was wait.
Two dayster, Feng Qi, who had been waiting for a reply, received a call from the management of the weak race alliance.
He was informed that the mission waspleted and that he could carry out the subsequent transactions.
Late at night.
In the central building of the bustling business district of Star City.
Wearing a special ck mask, Feng Qi stood at the top of the central building and looked down at the bright lights.
The prosperity of the East District of Star City was gone at a nce.
Behind him stood Mu Qing, who was also wearing a ck mask, and the managers of Star City¡¯s weak race alliance.
The transaction after this mission waspleted was set at the top of the central building.
Feng Qi kept scanning the area below, waiting for his target to appear.
He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was time for the transaction, but the target had yet to appear.
While frowning, Feng Qi asked.
¡°ck Dragon, has there ever been a situation where a mission waspleted within your weak race alliance, but the transaction was evaded?¡±
¡°It has happened before, but the probability is very low. After all, we still have toplete many missions thatrge factions don¡¯t do. This is a long-term deal. They won¡¯t cut off all contact with us just to evade a transaction.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t even know the identity of the other party. What¡¯s to stop them from changing their identity and continuing to freeload on you?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no such situation. Those who issued assassination missions to us are not small factions. Small factions can¡¯t issue assassination missions to waste resources. Large factions don¡¯t care about the price of such resources at all.¡± ¡°Other than assassination missions, othermissions such as the collection of spiritual materials have to be delivered face-to-face afterpletion, preventing potential evasion.¡±
At this point, ck Dragon pondered for a moment and continued.
¡°If there is a case of evasion, our management will still cover it. The remuneration will still need to be distributed. If we can¡¯t even guarantee this, no weak race faction will choose to cooperate with us. This is the foundation for establishing a weak race alliance.¡±
After listening to ck Dragon¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
The management of the weak race alliance appeared to involve gaining something without risking anything of one¡¯s own. They could receive amission from the mission reward without intervening every time. In reality, however, they also assumed numerous benefits and risks.
¡°They¡¯re here!¡±
At this moment, Mu Qing, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
When Feng Qi heard that, he looked into the distance.
In the distant sky, a silver-white figure quickly approached.
After a few shes in the air, a figure wrapped in silver-white light appeared at the top of the building.
A strange and sharp inquiry sounded from the silver-white light.
¡°Are you sure Feng Qi is dead? Why didn¡¯t I see any news reports?¡±
¡°Yes, Feng Qi is dead. As for why it wasn¡¯t reported, I¡¯m not sure. Furthermore, you didn¡¯t see the news of his death, but did you catch the reports of his recent appearances?¡±
Feng Qi replied indifferently.
¡°I trust you. I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±
As he spoke, the figure in the silver-white light handed over the metal box in his hand.
Seeing this, Feng Qi reached out and took the metal box.
When the arm wrapped in the silver-white light was about to retract, Mu Qing¡¯s figure suddenly appeared beside it and suddenly reached out to grab its wrist.
¡°What are you doing?¡± The figure was surprised.
¡°The most crucial aspect of a deal is honesty. Your decision to conceal your identity is highly disrespectful to us. Show us your appearance first.¡±
When ck Dragon heard this, he subconsciously looked at Feng Qi, who was wearing a ck mask. He could not help but ridicule in his head.
However, he did not dare to say these words in front of Feng Qi.
As soon as Feng Qi finished speaking, Mu Qing moved.
A terrifying power suddenly erupted and dragged the silver-white figure a few steps forward.
Jade-colored light cascaded over Mu Qing¡¯s body, instantly obliterating the silver-white light, causing it to disperse.
Seeing this, Feng Qi took a step back and did not intend to attack.
He had absolute confidence in Mu Qing¡¯s strength.
From a historical point of view, no one in Star City could fight against Mu Qing.
Perhaps only Tian Shu, who had imprisoned himself, could.
However, he felt that Mu Qing was still stronger in a fight.
The title of a historical demon king who dominated an era was not an undeserved reputation.
¡°Keep him alive!¡± he reminded.
It was important to find out who issued the mission.
However, in Feng Qi¡¯s eyes, it was more important to find out who was behind the mission issuer.
If he killed the person who Issued the mission now, the clues would be cut off. He would not be able to find the domain faction hiding in the dark.
Hearing his reminder, Mu Qing immediately nodded solemnly.
In a breath, the jade-colored light flowing on the surface of her body began to surge towards the silver-white figure.
Facing Mu Qing¡¯s capture, the silver-white figure was powerless to resist. Feeling the terrifying pressure, its body began to tremble uncontrobly. The trembling wasn¡¯t solely driven by fear; rather, it stemmed from being overpowered by Mu Qing¡¯s aura.
At this moment, even ck Dragon, who was standing not far behind, could not help but tremble. However, his eyes were abnormally excited. He felt that he had found a huge backer.
Only Feng Qi, who had cultivated Fist Force, could barely deal with the intense pressure brought by Mu Qing.
As the jade-colored light on Mu Qing¡¯s body circted, the silver-white light was dispersed on arge scale.
Looking at the silver-white figure that was gradually revealing its appearance, Feng Qi¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation.
The truth behind this assassination mission was about to be revealed..
Chapter 658 - 658: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (1)
Chapter 658: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (1)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Under Mu Qjng¡¯s strong suppression, the figure enveloped by the silver light could not move at all.
It was evident that it was attempting to muster strength. The silver light flickered violently under its exertion, yet it still couldn¡¯t withstand the erosion of Mu Qjng¡¯s jade-colored light.
Finally, the silver light was dispersed.
However, what surprised Feng Qi was that under the silver light was a puppet made of an unknown material.
The puppet was silver-white and in human form. Its body was filled with mechanical holes.
There was also a silver-white crystal embedded between the eyebrows.
He could see the gap between the puppet¡¯s joints. There was a silver-white gear in front of its chest, and it was slowly spinning with the light of the silver-white crystal on its forehead.
¡°It seems like¡ the weak race alliance¡ has be unreliable!¡± A sharp voice sounded from the puppet¡¯s mouth.
Hearing this, Feng Qi¡¯s expression turned cold.
When he first came into contact with it, he felt that its voice was very strange
as if it was electronically synthesized.
At first, he thought that the person who issued the mission wanted to disguise
their identity.
From the looks of it, this person had long expected the risk of a face-to-face transaction and chose to control the puppet toe.
¡°Looks like¡ Feng Qi has many secrets,¡± the puppet said again.
Under the suppression of Mu Qjng¡¯s aura, the mental connection controlling the puppets became intermittent, rendering them unable to speak smoothly. It was even challenging to control the puppet¡¯s movements.
-How should we deal with it?¡± Mu Qjng turned to look at him.
At this moment, the puppet revealed a deranged smile.
¡°If I¡¯m not wrong¡ Feng Qi is also from a domain faction¡ Moreover, this domain faction controls the weak race alliance in Star City¡ What unexpected information!¡±
Faced with the puppet¡¯s provocation, Feng Qi¡¯s expression remained
unchanged.
He did not care about it.
Since the inception of the super virtual reality game, he had been in a perilous situation. He paid little heed to the provocation of a minor faction.
As for why he was confident that this was a minor faction, from a conventional historical perspective, the most potent faction in the future Star City was Fog who held sway over the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
There was a high chance that this small faction would be wiped out during
Fog¡¯s growth.
Regardless of history or the current strength of Breaking Dawn, this small faction could not cause any trouble.
However, what left him feeling regretful was that he had believed he could preemptively catch a little rat.
Unexpectedly, this little rat was so cautious that it dodged this bait operation. From this point alone, this small faction was quite capable. At the very least, they were much stronger than the Night Shadow Race, who only knew how to control minds.
At this thought, Feng Qi said coldly.
¡°Dismantle it and bring the parts back for research.
Hearing his instructions, Mu Qing did not hesitate and grabbed the silver-white crystal on the puppet¡¯s forehead with her left hand.
The puppet¡¯s extremely hard body was unable to resist Mu Qing¡¯s strength. The silver-white crystal on its distorted and dented forehead was easily grabbed by Mu Qing.
After losing its power source, the puppet suddenly became paralyzed.
Looking at the silver-white puppet in Mu Qing¡¯s hand, Feng Qi decided to bring it back to the Tiger Soul Research Institute for research.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to give the puppet aprehensive inspection first.
He wanted to ensure that there were no surveince cameras, listening devices, positioning devices, or even equipment that could remotely control the explosion to prevent any idents.
After experiencing so many timelines, he knew how cunning the hidden domain factions were.
Everything had to be done steadily.
¡°Lord Narrator, this puppet looks familiar to me,¡± ck Dragon, who had been standing not far behind him, suddenly said.
When he heard this, his heart stirred. He immediately turned to look at ck
Dragon.
¡°Tell me what you know.¡±
¡°Lord Narrator, let me introduce my background to you first. My nsmen and Ie from the second level of the dark realm. We belong to a low-level race faction on the second level and rely on excavating resources to provide for the strong races to survive.¡±
¡°In the second level of the dark realm, there are two exceptionally powerful races. They control the eastern and western regions and seek to annex each other¡¯s territory and resources. As a result, these two forces have been engaged in year-round conflict. Our ck Dragon Race is loyal to one of them.¡±
¡°To be honest, I was once part of the cannon fodder team and got deployed to a frontline battlefield. I barely made it out alive. On the battlefield, 1 encountered formidable races that were hostile to us. Their appearance and features were unmistakable¡ªthey had long silver-white hair and eyes.¡±
¡°Moreover, they employ various methods to deal with enemies. They are adept at using a silver-white longbow to eliminate targets from a distance. Some nsmen excel at exorcising beasts. There are even puppet warlocks who employ musical instruments tounch mental attacks. Additionally, there are puppet warlocks who control silver-white puppets, much like the one we encountered just now.¡±
After hearing ck Dragon¡¯s exnation, Feng Qi asked curiously.
¡°What¡¯s the name of that race?¡±
¡°Silver Moon Race!¡±
Hearing this name, Feng Qi¡¯s pupils constricted.
He was familiar with the name of the Silver Moon Race.
The first powerful domain faction he understood was not the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, the owner of the fog, or the Spiritual Energy Race.
It was the Silver Moon Race that the ck Dragon was talking about.
In the world 1,500 yearster, the reason why Suction Cup lost consciousness and became demented was also rted to the Silver Moon Domain Field.
In normal history, the Silver Moon Domain Field had once invaded Star City..
Chapter 659 - 659: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (2)
Chapter 659: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (2)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At that time, most of the forces in Star City were deployed to Future City to help in the battle. The situation was critical.
In the face of the crisis of Star City¡¯s destruction, it was fortunate that Suction
Cup took action.
She resisted the attack of the Silver Moon Domain Field alone and finally resisted the attack of the Silver Moon Race.
However, this battle could only be said to be a tragic victory.
After this battle concluded, the scarlet crystal embedded in Suction Cup shattered. She lost consciousness and could only move on instinct.
Suction Cup inherited the scarlet crystal left behind by Mu Qing at her peak.
During that time, Mu Qing could defeat cmity domain monsters. Even if the effect of embedding the scarlet crystal a second time weakened, Suction Cup¡¯sbat prowess was formidable.
The answer could be found 1, 500 yearster.
1,500 yearster, the scarlet crystal on Suction Cup had shattered, but herbat strength was still extremely terrifying. She could even match up against ckie.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the Silver Moon Race was at that time.
Thinking of this, a new problem arose.
He realized that the timing of the Silver Moon Race¡¯s appearance was wrong, in the normal historical timeline, the Silver Moon Race appeared at the end of the Dawn army¡¯s destruction, but not at this time.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood.
He felt that the Silver Moon Race had probably sent their nsmen to the human world in advance.
Simr cases included Little Cripple and its nsmen.
Little Cripple also sent some nsmen to enter the human world first and relied on the vanguards to collect resources in the human world.
What was worse was that while Little Cripple¡¯s nsmen were collecting resources, they sent back the Flesh Sacrifice cultivation technique. In the end, the moment they descended into the human world, Little Cripple and its nsmen were harvested by Fog and collectively became its flesh and blood sacrifices.
He suspected that Fog was probably confused at that time.
Now that he pondered it, Fog truly seemed like a protagonist; blessings from the heavens did seem to fall upon him.
Therefore, it was understandable that the Silver Moon Race had sent their vanguards to explore the human world in advance.
However, he did not expect that the Silver Moon nsmen had already hidden in Star City.
He had not discovered their existence in many timelines.
At this thought, a smile appeared on his face.
The existence of the Silver Moon Race was a hidden danger, but he did not n to waste time with them now.
The Silver Moon Domain Field had yet to descend. The current Silver Moon
Race could not cause any trouble at all.
This era did not belong to the Silver Moon Race.
When they appeared on the historical stage, he had been dead for countless years.
He still had to focus on the Science and Technology Research Institute in Future City. As for the relevant information about the Silver Moon Race, he would leave it to the other timelines to investigate and resolve it.
If he joined forces with the variousrge factions in thisbat timeline, they would have to n from the perspective of the overall situation.
The current Silver Moon Race was not qualified.
Furthermore, ck Dragon only said that the silver puppet was like a war weapon of the Silver Moon Race, but he could not give a definite guarantee. Thinking of this, he looked at ck Dragon and said.
¡°Head back first. Let me know if you hear any news about the Silver Moon
Race.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± ck Dragon lowered his head respectfully and jumped down from the top of the building.
After ck Dragon left, Feng Qi turned to look at the metal puppet that Mu Qing was holding with one hand. Then, he took out his phone and called the director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He decided to get the Tiger Soul Research Institute to send staff members to check on the metal puppet.
After the preliminary check confirmed that there were no problems, he would send it back to the Tiger Soul Research Institute for a detailed check.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Mu Qing immediately nodded.
Taking a step forward, Feng Qi¡¯s figurended from the sky. Seeing this, Mu Qing immediately jumped down.
As his figure quickly descended, Feng Qi switched to his innate ability.
At this moment, psychokinesis seeped out and enveloped his entire body. His body hovered in the air as he used psychokinesis to catch Mu Qing, who was also falling.
In an instant, he carried Mu Qing and flew towards the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Five monthster.
Tiger Soul Research Institute, training room.
After waking up the screen, Feng Qi began to check thetest consultation.
First, there was the content of the email.
He received an update from his allied faction via email, along with information about the military and the domainbat team¡¯s training situation.
He was more concerned about the development of Breaking Dawn.
Some time ago, the new energy line had connected to the super virtual factory outside Star City. The number of virtual gaming capsules produced every day had begun to increase greatly.
ording to the investigation report, Breaking Dawn had reached 30% of the major universities. At the same time, virtual gaming rooms had been opened in various areas of Star City and were starting to operate on a small scale.
In other words, the next step of the super virtual game could begin.
The virtual gaming capsule quotapetition between the various universities in Star City could begin in advance.
Feng Qi looked forward to this.
The reason why he chose to release a super virtual game on thisbat timeline was to quickly increase the overall strength of Star City in all aspects, especiallybat strength.
The quotapetition was held to arouse thepetitive spirit of the students.
The intensepetition could also drive the students¡¯ desire to increase their strength.
These students would be warriors of Breaking Dawn soon.
After reading the email, Feng Qi opened the authorization database and found information about thepetition left behind by the Scarlet Research Institute.
He began to look carefully.
Among the projects that the Scarlet Research Institute had nned for the virtualpetition, there was one that attracted his attention.
The name of the project was ¡°Instructor Training ..

Chapter 660: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (3)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The specific n was to create a special instructor team and be the exclusive coach of the students and new soldiers.
Feng Qi found the selection direction of the instructor team in the n surprising¡
A monthter.
At 11 p.m. in the East District of Star City.
It was drizzling, and the East District of Star City was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.
On the way home, the drunk Xiao Yu staggered and knocked over the trash can by the roadside before vomiting.
The trash can that had been knocked down stretched out two mechanical ws and automatically straightened itself. Then, it began to clean up Xiao Yu¡¯s vomit.
Holding onto the smart trash can, Xiao Yu struggled to stand up. He staggered a few steps and almost fell again.
¡°Do you need help calling the rescue center?¡±
At this moment, the smart trash can suddenly asked.
¡°No need.¡± Xiao Yu rejected fiercely. Then, he took a step forward and fell to the ground again.
He fell hard this time, and his right leg ended up at an irregr angle, sprawled horizontally.
Due to the excessive movement, his pants were torn, revealing his metal prosthetic leg.
¡°I thought you might need help.¡±
¡°No need!¡± Xiao Yu struggled to stand up again.
Gazing at his prosthetic leg, Xiao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.
It had been so many years, but he still couldn¡¯t get over it.
The psychiatrist said it was called PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder.
The symptom was that the painful experience of the front line kept shing in his mind, and he could not escape it.
The moment he closed his eyes, scenes from the past surfaced in his mind again.
After graduating from the Winter Academy, he joined the frontline supply area with his brother with hopes for the future of humanity.
In his life on the front line, he had experienced too many tragic moments.
The withering of life seemed to have happened in an instant. The brother who was joking with him a moment ago suddenly left.
The tragic scene in his mind kept shing past. At this moment, Xiao Yu clenched his fists and his body started to tremble uncontrobly.
The scene of his brother being dismembered bit by bit by the domain creatures seemed to be right in front of him.
Helpless shouts assaulted his nerves.
¡°Ah!¡± As he roared, Xiao Yu suddenly punched themppost by the roadside.
Themppost instantly bent under his power, and the bulb began to flicker.
[You have damaged a public facility. Activating thepensation mechanism. Verifying your identity information.]
At this moment, the smart trash can by the roadside issued a warning. Then, it released light and aimed it at Xiao Yu¡¯s face.
[Your identity is Xiao Yu, a retired soldier at the front line. As you are the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, you are exempted from the fine. Again, do you need help?]
¡°I said, there¡¯s no need!¡± Xiao Yu opened his red eyes and roared at the smart trash can.
With that, he staggered towards home.
After so many years, he still could not get over that despair.
In the end, he was the only one who survived in the domainbat team he had established.
In the tragic battles, his wife, younger brother, and all hisrades perished.
He, the only survivor, had lost both his legs and installed a prosthetic leg.
When he woke up and learned of all this, he was eager to take revenge. He wanted to return to the front line and continue fighting until he died.
However, at this moment, he was told that he had to leave the army and could not go to the front line again.
He questioned the staff of thebat team headquarters. He had lost everything. What was the point of living? He might as well return to the front line and use hisst strength.
Confronted with his question, the staff member at thebat team headquarters remained silent. They only proceeded with the discharge process for him in solemn silence.
After being sent back to Star City, he wanted to return to the front line more than once.
However, all applications were rejected.
He was a cripple; there was no point in living like this.
He had dedicated his entire life to the front line. His family had also died in battle at the front line, but he had to live the rest of his life in the main city.
The pain was unbearable.
He could only choose to drink to numb his nerves.
However, even though he was drunk, his experience at the front line was still vivid in his mind, like a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
After staggering dozens of feet forward, he held onto themppost by the roadside and could not help but vomit again.
The honor of a warrior was to die in battle.
This sentence was said by the captain when he first stepped into the front line.
At that moment, he thought those words were mere posturing. However, now he trulyprehended the significance behind them.
If he lived like this, he might as well die in battle.
However, when he thought about how the domain field that had killed his family and brothers had yet to be dispelled, hatred surged in his heart.
However, he knew that he would never be able to return to the front line.
Even if he bought a ticket to the front line, it would be forcibly canceled.
He knew that this was a protection for him.
But he didn¡¯t need it at all.
After staggering for a while, he suddenly realized that there was a shop he had never seen before at the corner of the street.
Arriving at the entrance of the shop, Xiao Yu looked up.
¡°A virtual gaming room?¡±
Even though it waste at night, the shop was still open. There was a poster in front of the door.
There were a few background pictures of the front line on the poster. There were also words like ¡°simted battles¡± written on it.
A look of disdain appeared on Xiao Yu¡¯s face when he saw the content.
In his opinion, this was just a gimmick for the gamepany to make money.
Just as he was about to leave, a recruitment notice under the poster caught his attention.
[Veteran Recruitment]:
Virtual Combat Instructors..
Chapter 661 - 661: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (4)
Chapter 661: Trace of Silver Moon, Recruitment Trial (4)
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Preliminary Requirements: Minimum of five years of frontlinebat experience, with strength evaluations at the level of low Silver or higher.
Other Requirements: The applicant must possess exceptionally highbat proficiency, strongbat skills, extensive experience, andmand expertise. Preference will be given to retired soldiers.
Disabled, injured, and retired frontline warriors who met the requirements were eligible to apply.
Registration Requirement: Enter Breaking Dawn and pass the virtual instructor trial.
At the end of the recruitment notice, there was a line of words.
[Once the fire of faith is ignited, it will not be extinguished. Have you ever considered embarking on a new journey after returning to an ordinary life? Then, join us. Even if you no longer tread the frontline, let the youthful faces carry forward your faith on this journey.]
[Veteran, wee to the team!]
Thest sentence of the recruitment notice inexplicably poked Xiao Yu¡¯s heart.
In his depressed years after leaving the army, he had thought of many ways to return to the front line, but all of them had failed.
Therefore, he took another pat; he wanted to be an academy teacher and nurture future warriors.
Let them carry his beliefs and continue on the path to the front line.
However, after sustaining severe injuries, his legs were broken, and his dantian, which stored Spiritual Qi, was left in a half-crippled state. Consequently, he was unable to instruct in actualbat.
If he were teaching theory, there were too many instructors in the academy who were more suitable than him.
This path was impossible for a cripple like him.
Looking at the announcement, the mes that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly lit up.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the ss door with a trembling body and stepped into the virtual game room.
The virtual gaming room was decorated in ck and blue colors. It was filled with technology. There were 20 virtual gaming capsules inside. Each virtual gaming capsule was separated by opaque ck ss.
More than half of the gaming capsules were green and unused.
He came to one of the ss doors. There was a price list pasted on it, detailing how to use the virtual gaming capsule and the price.
The price was not high and was affordable for civilians at only 15 yuan per hour.
After reaching out to press the ¡°Start¡± button, the electronically synthesized voice sounded.
[Your identity has been verified. Charges will be deducted automatically during usage!]
The ss door opened at this moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu walked through the ss door.
ording to the instructions, he changed his clothes and entered the gaming capsule.
After going through the naming and novice tutorial, Xiao Yu¡¯s figure appeared in the center of the virtual city.
The scene stunned Xiao Yu.
He only wanted to give this virtual game a try. He did not expect this game to be so realistic that it almost simted reality.
More importantly, his legs reappeared in the virtual world.
In disbelief, he subconsciously reached out and pinched his right leg.
The familiar pain feedback made his eyes turn red.
He suddenly realized the significance of the game¡¯s publisher recruiting veterans.
This was not just a game. It had a goal to be a training ground.
Veterans possessed exceptionally strongbat abilities, but due to injuries, illnesses, disabilities, and various other reasons, they werepelled to retire. Nevertheless, thebat techniques and experience they had cultivated in this game could once again shine and reignite.
While feeling excited, he summoned the function panel ording to the recruitment instructions.
He pulled down the menu and found the ¡°Instructor Trial Mission¡±.
After tapping on it, the pop-up window appeared.
[Do you want to start the Instructor Recruitment Trial?]
¡°Yes!¡±
[The Instructor Recruitment Trial has begun. Trial Mission 1: Reach Diamond and above in ranked mode. Current: Unranked.]
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu decisively closed the page and opened the ranked mode.
For the next three days, Xiao Yu did not go offline.
In just three days, he had reached the Diamond rank.
His win rate had reached a terrifying 94.8%.
His many years of experiencemanding at the frontline allowed him to quickly formte a battle n and lead the team to victory.
Individual kills ounted for more than 50% of the team¡¯s participation.
His outstanding achievements were even screenshotted and uploaded to thetest Breaking Dawn forum. He became a hot topic among many yers.
Afterpleting the first trial, Xiao Yu epted the second trial.
This trial aimed to select participants for the team battle ranking of a hundred people. It also mandated that they achievemanding points above A-rank in every battle.
This was far more difficult than the first trial.
The 100-yer rankingpetition was filled with variables. The yers in the game were all evenly matched, making it challenging to predict the oue based on a single individual.
The ability tomand the battlefield was especially important.
This time, Xiao Yupleted the assessment with extremely eye-catching data again.
Hismand score was maintained at the A-SS level.
Afterpleting the two trials, a pop-up window appeared before Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes.
[Entering the review stage. Your information has been saved. Please await further instructions!]
Seeing that he had passed the initial review, Xiao Yu was excited.
However, when he thought of his previous rejections, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
This time, he also did not have the certainty of sess.
He summoned the function menu. He had not gone offline for a few days, so he chose to quit the game.
As the gaming capsule opened, the electronic voice confirmed the sessful deduction of funds.
The surrounding holes began to absorb the nutrient solution.
After getting up and putting on his clothes, Xiao Yu subconsciously took out his phone to take a look.
He was anticipating it, yet fearful of failure; he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
Feng Qi sat in front of the screen and checked the email content.
At this moment, a new notification appeared in the lower right corner.
After tapping on the notification, a pop-up window immediately appeared. What entered his vision was a photo of a man with a haggard face.
As he flipped through, a smile appeared on Feng Qi¡¯s face.
He was themander of the Pythonbat team, the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, and had seven years ofmanding experience at the front line.
He did not expect to recruit a general as soon as he started nning to establish a virtual instructor team.
The information showed that the real Xiao Yu was disabled.
However, this was not a problem in Feng Qi¡¯s eyes.
What he valued was Xiao Yu¡¯s ability.
In Breaking Dawn, his abilities and consciousness could be imparted to students and new warriors through actualbat in the training room.
These preciousbat techniques were priceless for Breaking Dawn and the construction of Star City¡¯sbat power.
After examining Xiao Yu¡¯s detailed information, Feng Qi took out his cell phone.
In the dark room, there was arge number of cigarette butts lying on the ground.
Xiao Yu¡¯s eyes were red as he smoked one cigarette after another. From time to time, he would look at the cell phone on the table.
He had been dispirited for many years, but Breaking Dawn ignited the me of hope in his heart.
He didn¡¯t want to miss it.
The words on the recruitment announcement, ¡°Let the youthful faces carry forward your faith on this journey,¡± held profound significance for him.
Inhaling deeply on the cigarette, the sparks swiftly spread in reverse.
He spat out a ball of white mist with trembling hands, his emotions fluctuating.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.
He immediately picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xiao Li, the Aon staff member of the Star City Veterans Sanatorium. After reviewing the records, I noticed that you haven¡¯t had a physical examination in five months. Would you like to schedule a physical examination?¡±
¡°Also, your prosthesis hasn¡¯t been maintained for a long time. Do you need help with maintenance and repair?¡±
¡°No need.¡± Xiao Yu said solemnly.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, all our services are free. As the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, you can also enjoy additional benefits¡¡±
Before the staff on the other end of the line could finish speaking, Xiao Yu forcefully hung up.
He knew he was disabled.
He also knew that this was the various support services provided by Star City to help retired veterans. The purpose was to let the veterans better adapt to their life after retirement.
Nevertheless, this sense of being treated especially made him quite resistant.
At that moment, the phone rang again.
¡°Is there no end to this?!¡±
After picking up the call, Xiao Yu, who was in an extremely bad mood, roared.
¡°What is it again?!
Hearing the roar, Feng Qi was stunned.
As expected of a big boss who had retired from the front line. He was imposing even when he answered the phone.
After a short moment of shock, Feng Qi said.
¡°Are you Xiao Yu, a retired veteran?¡±
¡°Yes, I am!¡±
¡°I¡¯m in charge of the virtual instructor team recruitment. Do you have time to discuss your application?¡±
Xiao Yu, who was about to hang up, heard the other party announce his identity and immediately shivered. He quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand and grabbed his cell phone to his ear.
¡°Yes, of course. You can talk about anything you want!¡±
¡®.???.¡¯
Where did that imposing side of him go?!

After a conversation with Xiao Yu, Feng Qi sessfully recruited the first virtual instructor.
After hanging up, he sent someone to fetch Xiao Yu to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Then, he was given the certification and authority of a virtual instructor.
From now on, Xiao Yu would have a special identity in the virtual game and would give technical advice to other gamers every day in the uing virtual consultation room.
Feng Qi even gave him the authority to form a yer guild in Breaking Dawn. He hoped that he could nurture a group of future neers with potential.
In terms of treatment, Feng Qi had nned to give Xiao Yu additional ie rights.
For example, if a yer were to consult Xiao Yu on various aspects, he could collect fees ording to the price list.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Xiao Yu.
He expressed that he was a retired frontline warrior. The various subsidies were enough for him to live the rest of his life. He did not need additional ie to improve his quality of life.
No matter how much money he had, it was the same to him.
He only hoped that Breaking Dawn could be promoted better so that he could train more outstanding warriors for the front line.
Feng Qi saw in Xiao Yu¡¯s realization the unwavering faith of a retired veteran. Hence, he agreed to Xiao Yu¡¯s decision that he did not need additional ie. In Feng Qi¡¯s opinion, perhaps charging a fee was a sphemy of faith to this veteran.
Following that, the initial member of the instructor team assumed his position. After more than 10 days of trial feedback, he saw Xiao Yu¡¯s potential and the significance of the Scarlet Research Institute¡¯s virtual instructor team.
It could be seen from the backstage data of Breaking Dawn.
Xiao Yu handled technical information from a total of 329 yers and had done many actualbat exercises. He received 100% good reviews.
Apart from that, he also caused a heated discussion on the Breaking Dawn forum.
At this stage, most of the yers in Breaking Dawn had not been to the front line. Xiao Yu was like an encyclopedia.
It could teach them many useful techniques in actualbat.
For example, how to differentiate directions in a domain field that could not be navigated, how to determine the next step of the operation in a team battle, and so on.
Whenever someone faced challenges inbat techniques, Xiao Yu would open the training room and guide the yers through thebat scene, teaching them step by step.
The once-silent retired veteran finally discovered a new path that was uniquely his own.
In just over 10 days.
Xiao Yu, who had moved into the Tiger Soul Research Institute, lookedpletely different.
Upon his initial arrival, he emitted a sour odor, and his disheveled hair suggested a prolonged absence from personal grooming. His unshaven face and unkempt appearance resembled that of a vagrant.
However, at present, Xiao Yu had trimmed his long hair and shaved off his beard, presenting Feng Qi with a different impression.
His dispirited mental state also disappeared after more than 10 days of self-change.
At this moment, Xiao Yu¡¯s gaze was sharp, and he regained the sharpness that a frontline warrior should have.
This change made Feng Qi feel extremely emotional. It also strengthened his decision to form an instructor team.
Many veterans who retired from the front line were simr to Xiao Yu, unwilling to spend the rest of their lives ordinary.
But injuries, illnesses, and disabilities prevent them from determining their future.
Even if they applied to return to the front line, they would be rejected.
The establishment of the virtual instructor team would provide a tform for these retired frontline veterans to shine again.
As he wrote in this recruitment n:
[Even if you no longer tread the frontline, let the youthful faces carry forward your faith on this journey.]
In the next few months.
The number of applicants for the instructor team began to increase.
Many retired veterans who knew about Breaking Dawn came one after another and took on the trial missions, wanting to be virtual instructors.
During this period, a group of naive yers appeared.
They were neers who had never been to the front line, but their ranking results were extremely high.
Upon witnessing veterans adorned with the instructor¡¯s logo in the game, others were inspired to acquire it themselves. Captivated by its coolness, they promptly applied to embark on the trial missions.
There were a few yers who passed the preliminary trial mission and entered the review stage.
Feng Qi did not hesitate to give a ¡°failure¡± evaluation to such yers with potential.
Such talented yers might be very capable.
However, they had no real frontline experience at all, let alone any teaching experience. Wanting to be a member of the instructor team was purely a joke.
Hiring them as members of the instructor team was irresponsible to other neers.
After all, there was a difference between realbat and games.
Even if Breaking Dawn could achieve 100% realism and was no different from reality, there would still be a difference on another level.
This difference was made up of several factors.
For example, mentality.
In Breaking Dawn, yers exhibited remarkable courage in battle, unhampered by the fear of death. Fear seemed to be an unknown concept to them.
However, in a real battle, the mentality was a huge factor that affectedbat strength.
Fear, nervousness, and other emotions would affect the situation of the battle. Particrly when facing domain creatures equipped with mental bewitchment abilities, the fear instilled in the hearts of human warriors became a potent weapon wielded against them.
Apart from mentality, there were many special situations that Breaking Dawn could not simte.
Therefore, the game could only be a training ground. No matter how perfect it was, it could notpare to actualbat.
However, there was no doubt that the appearance of the Breaking Dawn game would greatly improve the deficiencies of neers in actualbat. It would bring them improvement in all aspects, including skills, awareness, and other factors..

Feng Qi looked forward to the surprise this game would bring him and the changes it would bring to the future.
But recently, he had also encountered a problem.
Virtual games continued to be exposed in Star City, and the attention they received skyrocketed.
This was a necessary process for the development of virtual games. Feng Qi
was already mentally prepared.
The problem was that other cities outside Star City had also begun to pay attention to Breaking Dawn.
Just as he had expected.
The content of the report had begun to develop in the direction of
demonization.
The domain forces lurking in the major cities had seen the development potential of the Breaking Dawn game.
They did not want the Breaking Dawn game to be brought into the area under their control and cause an uncontroble situation.
For example, the Former Days City controlled by the Spiritual Energy Race.
Public opinionmented and criticized Breaking Dawn.
Feng Qi could understand the reason for this.
If Breaking Dawn were introduced and rapidly promoted in Former Days City, it would attract a substantial influx of yers from the city, establishing a significantmunity of Breaking Dawn enthusiasts.
However, the core authority of the Breaking Dawn game was not in the hands of the Spiritual Energy Race. It was equivalent to an extremely uncontroble factor.
As long as he released an announcement in the game that Former Days City was under the control of a domain faction, it would cause chaos in the city.
It was important to control public opinion.
It could be seen from the world situation before the cmity.
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of their control, the ndestine domain factions had no choice but to opt for a boycott of the Breaking Dawn game.
But the prerequisite for boycotting was that a reason was needed.
Whether this reason was reasonable was not important. All the domain factions needed was an excuse to resist the Breaking Dawn game.
As for the media in Star City, they were unaffected.
As a result, the residents of Star City embraced the Breaking Dawn game wholeheartedly. Recently, spurred by various media promotions, virtual gaming rooms in all four districts sprouted up rapidly, akin to bamboo shoots after rain.
Moreover, the participation rate reached more than 80% every day.
More and more yers who had nevere into contact with cultivation could also understand various knowledge about cultivation through this game and even learnbat techniques.
Feng Qi believed that as long as he was given enough time, Star City would be filled with soldiers.
However, he did not have much time left.
The rapid promotion of the Breaking Dawn game caused public opinion in the outside world to surge. The hidden domain factions might take action against
Star City.
If they realized that the development of the Breaking Dawn game was uncontroble, they might even join forces to fight Star City.
After all, for hidden domain factions, controlling the situation was the most important.
Any out-of-control situation that affected their future would attract their attention.
The best way to eliminate hidden dangers was always to resolve them. Time was running out, and Feng Qi began to n the next step of sending troops to Future City.
Two yearster.
Star City East District, Hope Cafe.
Looking at Mo Fei, who was sitting in front of him with a confident smile, a familiar feeling surged in Feng Qi¡¯s heart.
They had been brothers for many years and had agreed to meet often after graduation.
Yet, the bustling post-graduation life never allowed them to reunite.
After so many years, Mo Fei graduated from the Science and Technology Research Institute and became a researcher.
In his youth, Mo Fei frequently asserted that his flesh and blood were feeble, and he aspired to ascend mechanically. Those memories remained vivid in his mind, and now, Mo Fei was actively pursuing this goal.
Mo Fei, who had joined the Science and Technology Research Institute¡¯s Viper Department, had be a promising neer.
ording to normal history, he would develop many outstanding technological weapons for the Science and Technology Research Institute. He would spend his life advancing towards his dream of a technological empire.
Thinking of the past, a smile appeared on his face.
¡°Why do you keep smiling foolishly at me?¡± Mo Fei criticized in a joking tone.
¡°Fei, it¡¯s been a long time. I¡¯m happy to see you.
Upon hearing Feng Qi¡¯s serious words, Mo Fei was stunned. Then, he smiled and shook his head.
-Why would you miss me? It¡¯s been so many years since youst visited Future City to see me. I¡¯ve frequently sent you video calls and emails to extend my greetings. And you? You haven¡¯t responded to me.¡±
¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m busier than you, so I don¡¯t have time.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Mo Fei pouted.
¡°By the way, I¡¯ve recently learned how to read fortunes. Do you want me to read yours?¡± He suddenly changed the topic.
¡°Fortune-telling? Aren¡¯t you supposed to be studying cultivation techniques? Why the sudden interest in fortune-telling?
Upon hearing this, Mo Fei was at a loss. He did not understand the meaning behind these words.
Looking at the puzzled Mo Fei, Feng Qi stretched out his right hand and pinched it a few times. He said solemnly.
¡°Hmm, are you currently at the Viper Department of the Science and Technology Research Institute? Are you involved in the research on the X-model unmanned fighter jet and gearing up to take charge of the external design for the newly established project at the Science and Technology Research Institute?¡±
¡°What?!¡± Hearing this, Mo Fei¡¯s eyes widened.
¡°Where did you get the news? You obtained confidential information from the Science and Technology Research Institute without permission. Are you courting death?!¡±
¡°Would you believe me if I said that I read it through your palm?¡± Feng Qi grinned.
¡°My ass! We¡¯ve been roommates for so many years. I know you inside-out.
¡°In that case, we can move on to the next step.¡± Realizing that the time was ripe, Feng Qi¡¯s expression became serious..

Under Mo Fei¡¯s puzzled expression, he took a deep breath and said.
¡°Fei, I need your help!¡±
¡°I can do that, but you need to let me know how I can assist, right?¡±
¡°I need you to be my undercover agent in the Science and Technology Research Institute. Help me ry internal information from the Research Institute.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mo Fei¡¯s expression gradually turned from calm to terrified. The coffee cup in his hand trembled, spilling out a little.
As he picked up the tissue on the table to wipe his clothes, Mo Fei looked at him in horror and said.
¡°Are you crazy? If news of what you just said gets out, you¡¯ll be branded a traitor and sent to the execution grounds.¡±
¡°I¡¯m familiar with that ce since I go there often. I¡¯m used to it, so I¡¯m not afraid.¡±
Mo Fei was speechless.
¡°Alright, I won¡¯t joke with you anymore. I¡¯m being serious. No jokes at all.¡± Looking at the solemn Feng Qi, Mo Fei¡¯s expression gradually became serious. ¡°What¡¯s the reason for it? I don¡¯t believe you would betray humanity.¡± ¡°The Science and Technology Research Institute has been infiltrated by domain factions. The higher-ups are not humans; they¡¯re part of the faction. The super project you¡¯re participating in is their attempt to create a super weapon.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Fei fell silent.
After pondering for a moment, he said.
¡°I¡¯m willing to believe you, but the reason you gave me is too ridiculous. The Science and Technology Research Institute is now thergest organization in Future City with real power. Could it be that the entire Future City is under the control of a domain faction?¡±
¡°Yes, your analysis is correct.¡± Feng Qi nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Fei said hoarsely.
¡°I want to see the evidence.¡±
¡°Follow me.¡± Feng Qi stood up.
Seeing this, Mo Fei immediately followed.
When he walked out of Hope Cafe, he saw a Tiger Soul Research Institute military vehicle parked at the entrance. A man wearing sunsses and fully armed was waiting in front of the vehicle.
Seeing Feng Qi appear, he immediately opened the car door and got in.
¡°A Tiger Soul Research Institute¡¯s vehicle?¡± Mo Fei looked very surprised when he saw the logo on the car.
¡°Let¡¯s go. You¡¯ll know when we get there. I¡¯ll exin the situation to you in detail.¡±
After getting into the car, Feng Qi began to exin his experience to Mo Fei.
Li Xingchen was his spy in Future City on thisbat timeline.
Yet, Li Xingchen was overseeing the Future Research Institute, making it challenging to ess internal news from the Science and Technology Research Institute directly. He could only glean the general direction of thesebat teams through the mobilization of the Research Institute¡¯s subordinate units.
Li Xingchen had no ess to the research projects in the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Hence, he required a spy concealed within the Science and Technology Research Institute to alert him in case of any uncontroble developments.
Now, Mo Fei, who was approaching the core third tier of the Science and Technology Research Institute, had be his best choice.
In the first few timelines, Mo Fei was once his peer and helped him collect arge amount of information about the Science and Technology Research Institute.
He believed that Mo Fei would agree to his request and continue to travel with him on thisbat timeline.
As long as Mo Fei agreed, the war could begin.
The armed forces of Star City were prepared for battle. Recent graduates from various universities in Star City over the past two years had also been enlisted into the military, forming their domainbat teams.
Everything was ready. All that was left was for him to wave the ¡°Breaking Dawn g¡± and officially march towards the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Multiple timelines of undercover and investigation.
This time, he could finally shed some of his concerns and openly dere war on the ck shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute. Feng Qi was brimming with anticipation.
Perhaps¡ he could find a way to control ckie this time..

Two yearster.
The Breaking Dawn g slowly rose in Star City¡¯s Hero Cemetery.
The representatives of the various factions stood in front of the Hero Cemetery with Feng Qi and read the oath as they looked at the monument.
After many years of preparation, the decisive battle was about to begin.
Looking at the hero¡¯s monument shaped like a sword hilt, Feng Qi¡¯s gaze was firm.
He remembered that the first time he came here was under Wang Jinsheng¡¯s
lead.
At that time, he innocently pointed at the monument and asked Old Wang.
¡°Why is the monument shaped like a sword that pierces the ground, and what¡¯s exposed on the ground is like a sword hilt?¡±
At that time, Old Wang smiled and caressed his head, saying something that he still remembered.
¡°If this sword is sealed in the ground, it signifies a safe and secure nation. If this sword is unsheathed, it signals challenges ahead for the country. The heroic spirit will rise again.¡±
¡°The Star City beneath our feet is the scabbard, and the scabbard is the safest home for sharp swords!¡±
At that time, he was a little confused by these words.
However, he could hear the respect and pride in Wang Jinsheng¡¯s words.
As he grew older, he deeply understood the meaning of his words.
A hero¡¯s soul thaty dormant here was a sharp sword that was sheathed.
Looking at the monument not far away, his gaze became even more determined.
¡°May the heroic spirit protect us in this expedition!
At that moment, Feng Qi seized the alcohol pot from the table before him and strolled over to the memorial table. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed its contents.
He turned around.
Thebat representatives from Prajna, Sky Pir, the Star City Military, the
Tiger Soul Research Institute, and others gazed at him with seriousness, anticipating his orders.
Taking a deep breath, he felt the heaviness on his shoulders.
However, the heavier it was, the more he yearned for victory.
Raising his gaze to the Breaking Dawn g fluttering in the wind, he issued amand.
¡°All soldiers! Set off!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the representatives of the various factions roared and drank the alcohol at the same time.
Shouts spread outside the Hero Cemetery, and countless roars resounded throughout Star City.
Then, the representatives of the various factions dispersed and began to organize their strength.
A momentter, the mighty warriors walked towards the north gate of Star
City. The cars gave way and honked to show their support.
In the past two years, the residents of Star City had already known the truth of the world.
When they learned that human society had long been devoured by the domain, the response was huge, and it even caused turmoil in Star City.
During this period, Feng Qi saw the fragile side of human nature.
However, he also saw arge number of people who chose to join Breaking Dawn and were willing to contribute their strength to the ideal world in their hearts.
Most of the warriors that were nurtured back then had graduated and became the new strength of Breaking Dawn.
In this battle, he had gambled everything on thisbat timeline.
The north gate of Star City was wide open, and trucks carrying supplies drove out in a long line.
In the sky, the drone formation was in charge of escorting and reconnaissance.
Feng Qi had made a lot of preparations for this battle.
The resource storage, equipment forging, strength cultivation, and other measures in Star City constituted only a portion of the overall strategy.
To secure victory in this battle, he also established several supply depots along the route from Star City to Future City to ensure continuous support.
Half a year ago, they dispersed thest domain field on the road between Future City and Star City, making it easier for the warriors to travel a long distance.
There was a subway leading to Future City in Star City.
However, it was not appropriate to transport soldiers by subway.
Furthermore, the subway led to the interior of Future City. If arge number of soldiers were transported there, it would attract the attention of the ck shadow faction.
He had waited too long for this day toe.
Whether or not all efforts would be rewarded would be answered shortly. Breaking Dawn gs followed the army forward. They rose in front of the various factions and fluttered in the wind.
In this battle, they were all members of Breaking Dawn. No longer were they divided; they stood united aspanions.
The entire city was in an uproar. Arge number of people came to the north gate to send them off.
Amid the roars, the warriors advanced with firm steps.
A simr scene repeated itself today in history.
The soldiers stationed in Star City more than a hundred years ago had also left Star City to protect the purend of humans and embarked on a journey. They were also heading in the direction of Future City and fighting with domain factions.
Leading the team from the front, Feng Qi opted not to sit in a car. Instead, he chose to shoulder resources like the warriors, moving forward with a heavy load.
Beside him were the core members of Breaking Dawn.
Mu Qing, Lin Ran, Lu Yue, and the others.
¡°Brother Qi, after all these years on this timeline, we¡¯re finally doing it. How does it feel?¡±
¡°We will win this battle!¡± Feng Qi grinned.
¡ö¡öWhen the timees, I suggest sending the boss of the ck shadow faction to the guillotine. This is called an eye for an eye.¡± Mu Qing suddenly said at this moment.
Hearing this, everyone could not help butugh.
For this expedition, Feng Qi deployed 85% of Star City¡¯s strength, allocating 10% for subsequent supply transportation and reserving the remaining 5¡ã/¡ã for the stability of Star City.
He had also considered leaving a third of his strength in Star City.
However, upon careful consideration, everyone realized they had ced all their bets on this battle. This expedition was a desperate gamble with no room for retreat.
Since he had decided to fight, he would go all out.
His idea was supported by the military and various forces.
They had no escape route; the situation outside was unfavorable. Even the higher-ups of the weak race alliance had delivered bad news to them.
Forces were gathering to resist Star City.
The arrow was already on the bow, so he had no choice but to release the shot..
