Hijacking the Timeline

In the following days, Feng Qi began practicing Spiritual Immortality.

As Lin Ran had predicted, this ultimate mental attack technique proved highly efficient. Feng Qi could feel his mental energy growing rapidly each day.

After just a month of practice, he could project his mental energy outward and briefly manipulate objects remotely.

While not as agile as telekinesis, this demonstrated the technique’s immense potential for growth.

The more he practiced, the more he marveled at Lin Ran’s innate talent for Art Magic Research.

As for the hidden dangers Lin Ran had warned about, they had yet to manifest.

Feng Qi discussed this with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran explained that Feng Qi’s current physical strength could still accommodate the growth of his mental energy. However, if his mental strength ever surpassed his body’s limits, his physical form would become a constraint.

At that point, a critical juncture would arise:

His mental energy might break free from his physical body, transforming him into a purely spiritual lifeform.

But the exact consequences remained unknown, as there was currently no data on this phenomenon.

During a casual conversation, Lin Ran strongly advised him to abandon cultivating the Spiritual Immortality technique, suggesting he wait until Lin Ran had perfected it before resuming his practice.

He readily agreed to Lin Ran’s advice.

Then secretly continued practicing in private.

After all, how else would he defend against assassinations?

From the previous four assassination attempts, he had noticed a pattern:

The assassins’ strength was steadily increasing, and the duration of the attacks was also lengthening.

He desperately needed to enhance his power, even if it meant paying a price.

As for Mu Qing, she had her own path to follow.

He didn’t want to confine her to his side, and as the vice-commander, he couldn’t possibly stay by her side at all times.

Over the following months, his mental strength continued to surge rapidly.

He could now unleash simple mental shockwaves, though their potency paled in comparison to those of the Blue-skinned Assassins, they still represented a significant improvement.

This enhanced mental energy also sharpened his perception of the external world.

He could now detect even the slightest vibrations in the air.

He believed that as his mental strength continued to grow, he would eventually be able to effortlessly sense the concealed Blue-skinned Assassins.

That day, Mu Qing returned to Dawn Manor with the warriors who had ventured to the Old Day City Supply Zone.

That evening, Mu Qing approached him with a proposal.

With the graduation season approaching, a large influx of elite recruits would soon be reporting to the Dawn Battle Group.

Therefore, she planned to formally expand the Dawn Battle Group by establishing a new base of operations in another supply zone.

He immediately expressed his support for Mu Qing’s proposal.

He had already recognized this need himself.

As the Dawn Battle Group’s influence grew daily, it had become one of the top choices for outstanding graduates from the academies.

Given the Dawn Battle Group’s current size, it was clearly unable to accommodate such a massive influx of fresh talent.

Expansion, including the establishment of new bases, was the only solution.

That night, they discussed the matter at length, ultimately deciding that the Dawn Army’s next base would be located in the Galaxy Supply Zone, west of Galaxy City.

After making the decision, Mu Qing departed within two days.

The Dawn Battle Group’s second battle regiment was soon to be established in the Galaxy Supply Zone.

In the days that followed, as Deputy Commander of the Main Regiment, he continued to oversee internal affairs while also personally joining frontline warriors in combat within the Domain Fields.

His operational command skills steadily improved through practical experience.

One day, Feng Qi was reviewing documents in his office when the battle regiment secretary entered and handed him a file marked with a red seal.

As he read through the document, his expression gradually grew serious.

It was a request for assistance from the Old Day City Supply Zone.

The message urged Commander Mu Qing to personally lead a team to the Old Day City Supply Zone to escort a vital item.

This item was of extraordinary significance, potentially capable of greatly accelerating the progress of Human Civilization.

However, the document provided no specific details about the item itself.

The file concluded with a deadline, urging the Dawn Battle Group to arrive by that date.

Glancing at the calendar on his desk, Feng Qi realized the deadline was only six days away.

The problem was that Mu Qing had recently entered a Domain Field.

Based on past experience, she likely wouldn’t return for at least another half-month.

External communication devices couldn’t reach Mu Qing within the Domain Field, making it clear that the mission couldn’t proceed as planned.

After a moment of contemplation, he stood up and turned to Liu Yue:

”Liu Yue, inform the third, sixth, and eighth teams to prepare for a trip to the Old Day City Supply Zone with me.”

”Understood!” Liu Yue immediately rose to his feet, responded, and turned to leave the room.

Although Mu Qing couldn’t participate in this operation, as vice-commander, he could take her place.

If the mission extended beyond the initial timeframe, Mu Qing could join them later to provide support.

Moreover, he was deeply curious about what exactly could drive the advancement of Human Civilization.

That day, Dawn Manor buzzed with activity.

The three designated combat teams began preparing for battle, gathering their equipment and supplies at the central training grounds of Dawn Manor.

Each soldier carried a massive backpack, fully armed and armored.

Feng Qi, who had been waiting there, surveyed the assembled teams and said in a deep voice:

”Captains, begin the headcount!”

Upon hearing the order, the captains of the three teams began counting their personnel and verifying their supplies.

Moments later, the three captains rushed to Feng Qi to report the results of the headcount.

After confirming the accuracy of the reports, he nodded decisively.

”Get in the vehicles! Let’s move out!”

Upon receiving the order, the captains roared commands, urging their troops to quickly board the transport trucks.

Soon, a convoy of trucks rumbled out of Dawn Manor, heading toward the airport.

By the time they arrived, several pre-arranged transport planes were already waiting on the tarmac.

After the soldiers boarded, Feng Qi contacted the ground crew. The planes slowly lifted off, soaring toward Old Day City.

Old Day City lay in the eastern part of the Eastern District, nestled along the coast at a low elevation.

Two frontline supply zones were situated nearby.

One supply zone was located north of Old Day City, designed to counter the expanding Domain Field encroaching from the north.

The other was positioned east of the city, near the sea.

The coastal location made Old Day City vulnerable to frequent attacks by domain sea monsters, posing a significant security threat.

Their destination was precisely this coastal supply zone.

Half a day later, the sensation of weightlessness washed over them, signaling their arrival at their destination.

As the transport cabin opened, blinding sunlight streamed in from outside.

After a brief adjustment, Feng Qi immediately issued orders.

The warriors in the cabin jogged off the transport plane and assembled in the open space of the airfield.

Feng Qi and Liu Yue also emerged from the cabin.

Staff members who had been waiting approached them. Upon learning from the warriors that Feng Qi was the commanding officer, they stepped forward and began explaining the situation.

Moments later, Feng Qi led the Dawn Battle Group warriors onto transport vehicles, setting off for their destination.

Along the way, the staff members continued briefing them on the mission.

According to the staff members, their task was to collaborate with several other battle groups to escort a precious item they had unexpectedly acquired from this location to Old Day City.
