Hijacking the Timeline

As the black mist completely enveloped his body, Feng Qi swiftly lost consciousness.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a searing pain jolted him awake from the darkness. He opened his eyes.

Slowly sitting up from the sofa, he found himself in surroundings that felt both familiar and foreign.

He clutched his head.

The overwhelming negative emotions from the Sacrifice Line surged through his mind, forcing him to relive vivid memories of that timeline.

Especially the moment the Lord of the Mist fell in battle.

The disbelief and guilt-ridden sorrow remained painfully fresh in his memory.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the turmoil in his mind and rose from the sofa, heading to the refrigerator.

Opening it, he grabbed an ice-cold drink and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

The icy liquid slid down his throat, instantly clearing his head.

Shaking off the lingering dizziness, he carried the drink to his desk.

Pulling out the chair, he sat down and opened the notebook lying on the desk.

Instead of starting a new entry, he began flipping through the previous notes.

His current state wasn’t ideal, so he decided to rest briefly, planning to resume recording once he felt more focused.

The sky gradually darkened.

Feng Qi switched on the desk lamp.

Lin Ran called, urging him to come eat.

After explaining he was busy, Feng Qi hung up.

He continued sitting at his desk, flipping through page after page. As his fingers traced the words, his mind flooded with vivid memories.

Each sentence recorded in the notebook was a condensed account of a Sacrifice Line experience.

Behind a single sentence might lie years of struggle and effort from his counterpart in that Sacrifice Line.

Every piece of intelligence represented a future he had abandoned, even a life he had sacrificed, willingly becoming a stepping stone into the darkness.

Too many experiences had crystallized into countless mental images.

These memories burned like fire, forging Feng Qi’s resolve and making him even more determined.

The sacrifices made in each Sacrifice Line weighed heavily on his shoulders, but bearing the hopes of multiple timelines also made him stronger.

It was now one in the morning.

When he turned to a blank page, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He grabbed the pen from his desk and began recording the intelligence gathered from this timeline.

Intelligence Acquired:

Intelligence Acquired 1: Confirmed that the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice originated from the Lord of the Mist. Specifically, it was created through the Lord of the Mist’s secondary refinement and modification of the patterns etched on the miracle bloodstone.

Derived Intelligence: The Lord of the Mist’s refined patterns are divided into two parts: the flesh cauldron and the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice.

Flesh Cauldron: The complete, refined version of the operational patterns imprinted on the bloodstone (modified by the Lord of the Mist). Flesh and Blood Sacrifice: A truncated and reduced version of the operational patterns imprinted on the bloodstone.

The flesh cauldron is the true core of this cultivation technique.

The Flesh and Blood Sacrifice exists primarily as a sacrificial offering for cultivators of the flesh cauldron. Practicing the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice enhances bloodline strength, but only to make the practitioner a better offering for flesh cauldron cultivators.

Future Prospects: Continue having Old Wang research methods to crack the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice. If its hidden dangers can be resolved, this Super Cultivation Technique could significantly advance human cultivation studies.

After finishing the first intelligence report, Feng Qi fell into silence.

He had considered many ways to eliminate the threat posed by the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice.

One option was to completely eliminate Old Mist.

However, this approach still carried potential risks and wouldn’t eradicate the underlying danger.

The bloodstone obtained by Old Mist was incomplete, meaning other factions likely possessed fragments of the miracle bloodstone.

These factions might also be able to extract some knowledge from their fragments.

While the probability was low, it remained a risk.

Therefore, completely eliminating the threat of the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice was the only way to truly ensure peace of mind.

He had also considered having humans cultivate the ”flesh cauldron” technique directly.

But after careful deliberation, he abandoned the idea.

The reason was simple: when the Lord of the Mist first discovered the bloodstone’s patterns, his goal was to develop a Super Cultivation Technique that would aid his clansmen’s advancement.

The Flesh and Blood Sacrifice was created midway through this process because he deemed the flesh cauldron too complex.

While the complexity wasn’t an issue during initial cultivation, it would increase exponentially with further practice.

This level of complexity wouldn’t help the clan’s development; instead, it would limit their growth potential.

Only a tiny fraction of individuals with exceptional innate talent could truly cultivate it.

That’s why he chose to create the simplified version, Flesh and Blood Sacrifice.

Therefore, following the path that even Old Mist considered complex would be extremely difficult.

After careful consideration, Feng Qi concluded that deciphering Flesh and Blood Sacrifice remained the most viable path forward.

Success in deciphering it would grant humanity a Super Cultivation Technique capable of unlocking the potential within their bloodlines.

Old Wang’s progress in deciphering it across various timelines, though slow, wasn’t without hope, making it a worthwhile endeavor to pursue.

With these thoughts in mind, Feng Qi continued writing in his notebook:

Intelligence Acquisition 2: The Tiger Soul Research Institute is currently occupied by the Domain Force known as the Nightshadow Clan.

Comment: A weakling force posing no threat; easily eradicated.

Intelligence Acquisition 3: Investigation reveals that the Spirit Energy Clan appears to be recruiting promising Domain Forces and nurturing them, strategizing for the future.

Currently identified affiliated forces: Dark God Race.

Dark God Race Intelligence: It is highly probable that the appearance of the Goat-Headed Demon is related to the Dark God Race, and the demon is likely a descendant of the Dark God Race from 1,500 years in the future.

Speculated Future Plans of the Dark God Race: Establish and develop the Dark God Cult in the Five Great Cities and their surrounding satellite cities. Then, through the cult’s influence, harvest the power of faith from humans to create a super-being known as the ”Dark God.”

Commentary: The Dark God Race’s future plans are not insurmountable. The only real threat lies in the Spirit Energy Clan backing them.

Intelligence Acquisition 4: Through the Lord of the Mist’s testimony, we learned that a secret Spirit Energy Clan base exists within the sewers beneath Twilight City, a satellite city of Old Day City. The research subject within the base is the Blue-skinned Assassin.

Hypothesis 1: The Blue-skinned Assassin is a specialized creature created by the Spirit Energy Clan.

If this hypothesis is correct, it confirms that the Spirit Energy Clan possesses more than one miracle item, and their combined power could easily overthrow Human Civilization.

Hypothesis 2: The Blue-skinned Assassin was captured while attempting to steal the Spirit Energy Clan’s miracle item, the ”Holy Spirit Consciousness Repository,” and is now being studied.

This hypothesis aligns more closely with the facts and is more reliable than the first.

Commentary: Every anomaly has a cause, but the current intelligence is insufficient for a detailed assessment.
