Hijacking the Timeline

Amidst the flying blood and gore, Wei Wei narrowed her eyes.

Having grown accustomed to such gruesome scenes through countless experiments, she felt no panic.

At that moment, she sensed a familiar power descending nearby.

This power was no stranger to her.

Ever since establishing a spiritual connection with Feng Qi from the main timeline, she had frequently sensed its presence.

Yet she still couldn’t determine whether Feng Qi had truly succeeded, or if his success had been immediately followed by failure.

With bated breath, she watched as the blood mist dissipated, revealing a bone man etched with crimson and violet patterns.

The bone man’s skeletal surface was coated in a crystalline sheen, its appearance utterly grotesque.

Standing there like a demon risen from hell, it radiated an aura of death.

Wei Wei had only encountered such an aura on domain life forms that had slaughtered countless lives. Compared to them, Feng Qi’s bone man form was even more terrifying.

At that moment, Feng Qi felt a surge of relief.

He had truly been on the brink of death.

If he hadn’t merged the mental medium glimmer into the Source Orb at the critical moment, he would have perished instantly.

Fortunately, he had succeeded.

But after completing the fusion, he also discovered several potential problems.

First, his control over the Source Orb’s granted abilities felt clumsy and unnatural.

In the main timeline, switching between different forms of his Source Talent Ability felt as natural as breathing.

But the situation was different now.

Borrowed innate abilities never felt quite as smooth to use.

Feng Qi wasn’t particularly bothered by this.

After all, his body in the main timeline had undergone complete mutation, making it far superior to his current ordinary form.

What concerned him more was whether the Narrator had followed him after he gained control of the Source Talent Ability.

He was filled with anticipation.

The Narrator was often unreliable, but he was an absolutely trustworthy partner in critical moments.

With this in mind, he roared inwardly:

”A’Bai, stop playing dead and come out!”

Silence...

He couldn’t tell if the Narrator was feigning death or truly hadn’t come with him.

Both possibilities seemed equally plausible.

So he resorted to his ultimate move:

”A’Bai, your father commands you to appear!”

This tactic had always worked flawlessly in the past.

Faced with his provocations, which escalated to a paternal tone, the Narrator would invariably erupt in fury and retaliate.

But this time, the Narrator remained silent.

Feng Qi could only conclude that the Narrator hadn’t followed him.

This confirmed that the Narrator’s special ability and the main timeline’s control were not bound together but existed as completely independent entities.

Just then, Wei Wei’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

”Are you... still alive?”

Faced with Wei Wei’s question, Feng Qi, now in his Battle Body Form, opened his mouth.

However, in his pure bone man form, he lacked vocal cords and couldn’t speak to answer her question.

Instead, he projected his mental consciousness outward, transmitting his intended message directly into Wei Wei’s mind.

”Sister Wei, I succeeded!”

Hearing the voice in her mind, Wei Wei paused in surprise before nodding.

”Good job. Now, let’s figure out how to revert to your human form. I’m not used to communicating through consciousness... Come with me to Laboratory No. 3 to replenish your qi blood.”

Feng Qi immediately nodded in agreement.

He followed Wei Wei out of Training Room 1.

On their way to Laboratory No. 3, Feng Qi began testing his innate abilities.

He had successfully obtained the Source ability, but whether he could control his other talent abilities remained unknown.

He had chosen to fuse with the Source talent bead first because he believed all other talent ability orbs revolved around it. Perhaps by mastering the Source Orb, he could unlock control over the rest.

He had hoped to strengthen his connection to other innate talents through the Source Orb.

But he soon realized his theory was only half-correct.

While the Source Orb, now fused with his mental medium glimmer, did allow him to control other innate abilities, he couldn’t manipulate them with the same agility as in the main timeline.

In the main timeline, he could activate any innate ability with a mere thought—a thought so fleeting it vanished in an instant.

To illustrate, using an innate ability in the main timeline was as natural as a normal person raising their right hand. The hand would lift effortlessly, without any conscious effort to figure out how to do it.

But in the Sacrifice Line, things were different.

He was borrowing the innate traits of these abilities, manipulating them like a puppeteer controlling marionettes.

Controlling too many innate abilities felt like managing a tangled mass of strings. He couldn’t keep up, and his mental energy would drain rapidly.

For example, when he activated his Blood Source Form, using other innate abilities became extremely difficult. He couldn’t simultaneously deploy multiple abilities in combat.

This limitation was significant, preventing him from achieving the same effortless mastery he possessed in the main timeline.

He believed that by strengthening his mental connection, he might be able to partially resolve this issue.

However, achieving the effortless control over all his abilities that he had in the main timeline was clearly unrealistic.

Though Feng Qi felt a tinge of regret, he had mentally prepared for this limitation in advance and wasn’t surprised.

A moment later, he followed Wei Wei to the entrance of Laboratory No. 3.

After a series of scans and verifications, a green light illuminated above the doorframe, signaling permission to enter.

Pushing open the door, he found himself in a breeding facility. Apart from the central corridor, the space was divided into breeding areas on both sides, separated by specialized glass partitions.

Each compartment housed various animals used for experimental purposes, including white mice, cattle, sheep, and other species.

His next task was to slaughter these animals to absorb their qi blood, which he would then convert into flesh and blood.

Approaching the glass door of a compartment housing white cattle, he pressed the activation button. The glass door slowly slid open to the side.

Stepping inside, Feng Qi immediately lunged at a nearby white cow.

Using his innate ability didn’t mean he had gained the primal power of the main timeline.

Feng Qi understood this perfectly.

For example, when activating Blood Source Form, his counterpart in the main timeline could reach a height of over five meters, but the version in the Sacrifice Line clearly couldn’t achieve that level.

He was merely borrowing the characteristics of the power, not the power itself.

Activating Blood Source still consumed his own qi blood.

Given his current physique, activating Blood Source would significantly enhance his combat prowess, but it would still fall far short of the capabilities in the main timeline.

However, against ordinary animals, his current Battle Body Form was more than sufficient.

As a fist shadow materialized, the white bull locked in his gaze instantly collapsed, its body flying several meters horizontally. It was annihilated in a single strike.

To his surprise, no absorbable qi blood emerged from the dead bull’s body.

Feng Qi: ...

Staring at the lifeless bull, Feng Qi couldn’t help but curse inwardly: Motherfucker.

He realized something critical:

While he had borrowed the primal trait of his counterpart from another timeline, he hadn’t gained the ability to absorb qi blood from deceased lifeforms.
