Hijacking the Timeline

The scene before Feng Qi caught him completely off guard.

The Future Dream Realm had undergone an unprecedented change.

The Blood Moon still hung in the sky, but the sun had yet to set.

Has the end of the world been delayed?

In this Future Line, you chose to confront the technology research institute. Perhaps your organization severely crippled or even eradicated them in this timeline, leading to accelerated progress in Human Civilization and slowing the Domain Invasion... But it seems the ultimate outcome remains unchanged.

Hearing the Narrator’s words, Feng Qi glanced up at the Blood Moon slowly drifting eastward and the flickering, distorted patterns at the boundary between the two worlds.

As the Narrator had said, the Real World was still in peril, gradually being devoured by the domain world.

Yet the world had changed. He felt that perhaps humanity had not yet been extinguished.

His gaze swept across the surroundings. The area where he stood had not yet become a burial ground. There were no living dead roaming about, nor was Little Cripple present to greet him with his usual awkward split-legged stance.

The direction of Star City Shelter, as he remembered it, was now tightly enclosed by the Iron City Wall. A statue stood before the city gate.

He could faintly see figures moving atop the wall.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he immediately sprinted toward Star City Shelter.

The path was broken and scarred with the tracks of heavy machinery.

Orange daylilies bloomed along both sides of the road, filling the air with a sweet, cloying fragrance. Compared to the Future Dream Realm he had experienced before, this world felt like paradise.

As he approached the Iron City Wall, he clearly saw the statue’s features.

While examining it, Feng Qi’s expression gradually turned bewildered.

He realized the statue depicted none other than himself.

Holy shit, dude, you’re a legend! They even erected a statue for you... Damn it, where’s mine?!

Ignoring the Narrator’s grumbling, Feng Qi approached the statue for a closer look.

The statue stood over ten meters tall, portraying him with a resolute expression. His left hand held a book, while his right hand gripped a sword, pointing westward. Beneath the figure were inscribed several lines:

Statue of the Great Man Feng Qi.

Forged from the energy extracted from rune crystals within domain creatures slain in battle, the statue weighs 1,800 tons.

One book, one sword, for those who invade our homeland, vengeance will be exacted, no matter how far they flee.

Ugh, seriously? So dramatic? Where’s my statue, then? Didn’t I work hard to save the world too? Why don’t I get a statue? Fuck!

Ignoring the Narrator’s ranting, a warm feeling washed over him.

It seemed that in this Future Line, his efforts had finally been recognized by the world.

This suggested that in this timeline, he had achieved significant success in his conflict against the technology research institute.

It was even possible that he had completely eradicated the institute, leading humanity to rise from the ashes.

”Perhaps the me in this Future Line lived for centuries.”

Pfft, really? I don’t believe it!

”I’ll prove it to you.” With that thought, he immediately strode toward the steel fortress.

Just then, a whistling sound cut through the air. Sensing danger, he immediately took a large step back.

A black spear hurtled down from the upper right, embedding itself in the ground where he had just stood. The spear sank halfway into the earth, its tip still trembling.

Looking up, he saw a man in a Star City Garrison uniform standing atop the Iron City Wall, his face cold as he glared down at him.

Seeing this, Feng Qi was about to explain when he suddenly remembered something.

In his current living dead form, he looked exactly like a domain creature. It was clear that the attack was due to this mistaken identity.

Just then, three figures leaped down from behind the Iron City Wall, led by the man who had thrown the spear earlier.

”How did a Domain Derivative Creature get here?” the leader asked, his gaze fixed on Feng Qi, a hint of confusion in his voice. He then turned to his towering companion, a man over two meters tall, and said:

”Xiao Man, kill it! Bring the corpse back to the shelter for the researchers!”

The hulking man, addressed as Xiao Man, nodded immediately and strode toward Feng Qi.

Feng Qi: ...

Realizing he was genuinely being mistaken for a domain creature, he blurted out:

”Wait!”

”A Domain-Transcending Creature?”

The three men froze, their expressions shifting to shock as they heard Feng Qi speak. They clearly believed him to be an intelligent Domain-Transcending Creature.

Simultaneously, they took a step forward, their faces hardening with suspicion, clearly preparing to attack together.

”Don’t attack! Let me explain!”

”What do you want to say?” the leader demanded, his voice low and menacing.

Faced with this question, Feng Qi’s heart sank.

He realized he couldn’t explain himself.

Could he point to his statue and say, ”Actually, I’m Feng Qi”?

Who would believe that?

Try it. What if they do?

Feng Qi: ...

Taking a deep breath, he stepped back to maintain distance from the three garrison soldiers and said calmly:

”If I told you I’m human, but some accident transformed me into this form, would you believe me?”

The lead soldier scrutinized Feng Qi from head to toe.

Feng Qi’s current appearance was that of a skeleton, his shrunken, decaying organs clearly visible within his bony frame.

The lead soldier replied expressionlessly:

”Do you think we humans are fools?”

The burly man beside him sneered:

”Even if I believed you, give me your resident ID number. I’ll verify it right here.”

As he spoke, the man raised his right hand, tapped the metal band on his wrist, and projected a holographic keypad.

Faced with this challenge, Feng Qi was dumbfounded.

Having come from 1,500 years in the past, he had no resident ID number from the Star City Shelter.

Feeling helpless, he gritted his teeth and tried to explain:

”Listen to me,” Feng Qi pleaded. ”I’m from 1500 years in the past. I traveled through time. You have to believe me. Just let me into the shelter, and I’ll prove I’m human.”

”We might believe you if you said you were from 1500 years later,” the leader sneered. ”After all, you could claim they invented time machines by then.”

”These Domain-Transcending Creatures will stop at nothing to infiltrate the shelter. From 1500 years ago? Why don’t you just say you’re Feng Qi from 1500 years ago, come to lead us against the Domain Invasion!”

Feng Qi: ...

After a moment of silence, he nodded emphatically.

”To be honest, I am Feng Qi from 1500 years ago.”

”Insulting a hero? Death!”

The leader’s eyes flashed with cold fury as he yanked the black spear from the ground.

With a sharp whistle through the air, the spear lunged toward Feng Qi.

Hahaha, proving you’re yourself has failed. To me, you’re just another living dead. What connection do you have to Feng Qi?

Hearing the Narrator’s snide remarks, Feng Qi inwardly groaned.

As the spear hurtled toward him, he channeled his psychokinesis to erect layers of invisible barriers before him.

To his surprise, the spear’s momentum was merely slowed, effortlessly piercing through the psychokinetic shields and continuing its relentless thrust.

Realizing he was outmatched, Feng Qi immediately turned and fled.

With no hope of persuading the trio, escape was clearly his best option.

Only by preserving his life could he later devise a more strategic plan.

Seeing Feng Qi flee, the other two garrison members leaped several meters into the air. The burly man swung his spirit energy-infused battleaxe down with the force of a collapsing mountain.

Faced with imminent death, Feng Qi didn’t hesitate. He activated his Blood Source Ability.

His heart pounded violently as the Qi and Blood Power stored within his body surged outward, enveloping him in a crimson aura.

His physique rapidly transformed, his frame expanding and solid muscles bulging across his body. In an instant, he became a towering, two-meter-tall muscular monstrosity.

Focusing his psychokinesis around his right fist, he whirled around and delivered a devastating punch that collided with the spirit energy battleaxe.

Boom!

Feng Qi ducked, his lower legs sinking halfway into the ground from the impact.

The downward force of the giant axe made it difficult to maintain his stance, forcing him to acknowledge that he was no match for the burly man.

After pushing the axe aside with both arms, he immediately leaped to his feet, using psychokinesis to propel himself forward and evade the black spear that flew straight toward him.

Landing on his feet, he bolted without looking back.

He unleashed the last of his psychokinetic energy, driving his body forward at breakneck speed.

With each stride, he soared over twenty meters through the air, leaping forward as if freed from gravity’s pull.

Yet even this desperate sprint couldn’t shake the three shelter garrison soldiers who relentlessly pursued him.

Glancing back at his pursuers, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Every time he entered the Dream Realm, he had imagined various ways he might die: killed by little black, devoured by domain creatures... but he never imagined he would be killed by humans.

Faced with their relentless pursuit, he felt helpless and could only run faster.

In the distance, he could still hear the leader of the garrison soldiers shouting:

”Xiao Man, contact the shelter for reinforcements! Don’t let this Domain-Transcending Creature escape, or the consequences will be catastrophic!”

Hahaha, the savior of humanity is being hunted by his own kind! How do I explain this? Urgent help needed!

”Shut up! How can you laugh at something so heartbreaking?”

Aren’t you happy to get off work early? Aren’t you happy to get out of school or go on vacation early?

”He~tui!”

As he ran, he drew closer to the domain world shrouded by the Blood Moon.

The three pursuers remained hot on his heels, while several missile-equipped drones appeared in the sky behind them, closing in at breakneck speed.

Heads up! Combat drones detected behind you. They’ve probably already locked onto you with missiles. Time to clock out early!

”Shut up!”

Roaring, he leaped into the air once more, channeling his last reserves of psychokinesis into a burst of propulsion that launched him into the Blood Moon’s Domain Field.

Simultaneously, three missiles streaked through the air, their fiery trails piercing the Domain Field and detonating around him.

Boom!

Flames erupted, sending Feng Qi flying through the air. He tumbled through the sky before crashing violently into a barren tree, snapping it in half.

Lying on the ground, he felt a searing pain all over his body.

The body formed from coalesced qi blood rapidly disintegrated under the licking flames, dissolving into a thin bloody mist that dissipated into the air.

This attack had cost him most of his life force.

Not only had the Blood Origin State been dispelled, but his bones were now riddled with cracks, rendering him unable to even stand.

Danger averted. The drone did not enter the domain area, likely because the Domain Field’s rules are incompatible with technological artifacts... though this is just my speculation.

Hearing the Narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi felt a pang of sorrow.

Perhaps you should focus on making yourself look like a normal person first... Even a disabled person would do, but you need to at least resemble a human to enter the Star City Shelter.

Or you could just die. When you return, abandon the Future Line’s fight against the technology research institute and instead focus on finding a way to regain your human form in the corrupted world.

”If I reach 1,000 bloodline evolution points, can I revert to being human?”

Possibly... but not guaranteed.

Hearing the Narrator’s response, Feng Qi decided to first recover his strength, then hunt domain creatures to gather enough bloodline evolution points for an evolution.

At that moment, his Regeneration Ability and the recovery power granted by the ”Very Robust” prefix title activated.

The cracks in his bones began to slowly heal.

But until he recovered, he could only lie on the ground, staring blankly at the Blood Moon, seething inwardly at the Narrator’s mockery.
