Hijacking the Timeline

Clearly, the ability to absorb qi blood, like the Narrator’s voice, wasn’t inherently tied to his innate ability.

So... what should he do next?

If he couldn’t absorb qi blood, he couldn’t revert to his human form.

Without reverting to his human form, he couldn’t activate the combat timeline.

He couldn’t exactly recruit warriors and collaborate with other human hidden forces while in his Battle Body Bone Man form.

Refusing to give up, he took a few steps forward and began examining the white bull’s vital signs, hoping it might still be alive.

After a thorough examination, he lost all hope.

In his bone man form, even the possibility of drinking blood was blocked.

How could he revert to his human form? A headache began to throb.

”What’s wrong?” Wei Wei’s voice came from behind him.

”I’ve run into a very tricky problem,” Feng Qi replied telepathically.

He then explained his current predicament to Wei Wei in detail.

After hearing his explanation, Wei Wei immediately suggested trying alternative methods.

Following her, he arrived at her private laboratory and began experimenting with the alternative methods she had mentioned.

The first method they tried was applying blood directly to his bones to see if it would be absorbed.

Wei Wei retrieved several vials of domain creature blood from her cryogenic storage and applied them to Feng Qi’s bones.

But no miracle occurred.

The blood smeared on his bones was neither absorbed nor did it undergo any transformation.

Undeterred by this failure, Wei Wei next attempted intravenous injection.

This attempt yielded no better results. His body seemed to have lost the ability to absorb qi blood.

At this point, even Wei Wei was at a loss.

The ability to absorb qi blood was clearly an innate trait of his other self. Having borrowed primal power, he had evidently failed to inherit this particular characteristic.

Worse still, lacking digestive organs, he couldn’t replenish his qi blood through eating.

Just as Feng Qi was about to abandon this Sacrifice Line as a failure, a flash of inspiration struck him.

He suddenly remembered the Lord of the Mist.

He wasn’t the only one with the ability to absorb qi blood; the Lord of the Mist possessed a similar power, though the Lord’s conversion efficiency was far inferior to his own.

In their previous villain arc, where they had grown together, the Lord of the Mist had taught him the method for absorbing qi blood after Feng Qi lost his right arm.

To train his blood manipulation abilities, he had specifically set up wooden barrels filled with blood in the training grounds of the Death Star Third Battle Group’s manor. Every morning, without fail, he would head there to practice.

With this thought, he immediately turned to Wei Wei, his mental waves radiating toward her:

”Sister Wei, I need some spirit stones to trace art magic trajectories.”

Wei Wei looked puzzled but didn’t ask further. She immediately turned and walked toward a partitioned area in the private laboratory.

Moments later, she returned carrying a box of spirit stones.

He took the metal box from Wei Wei, placed it on the workbench, and began removing the spirit stones one by one.

Due to his unique physique, his body couldn’t absorb spiritual energy, making it impossible to trace art magic trajectories naturally.

However, this problem was easily solved with the aid of spirit stones.

Next, he explained his plan to Wei Wei.

After understanding what he intended to do, Wei Wei nodded immediately and retrieved a small blue crystal needle from a nearby toolbox.

These needles were crafted from extremely rare, high-quality spirit minerals.

In addition to their sharpness and other properties, they also possessed the ability to guide the flow of spiritual energy.

When the spiritual energy surging from the shattered spirit stones came into contact with the crystal needle, it was rapidly absorbed. Soon, the blue crystal needle began to glow with a brilliant azure light.

Just like a sewing needle, the crystal needle needed to be threaded with spiritual energy at its tip.

This crystal needle operated on the same principle, except instead of thread, it channeled spiritual energy.

After rune modification surgery, Wei Wei typically used these specialized crystal needles to help the modified humans stitch their wounds.

This time, however, the crystal needle had become a ”magic wand” for drawing art magic.

After receiving the crystal needle from Wei Wei, Feng Qi began to move it in front of him.

The crystal needle trailed a shimmering, azure-blue crystalline light as it traced the art magic trajectory in the air.

Soon, an eerie azure-blue pattern materialized in the air.

This pattern was precisely the ”qi-blood control technique” taught to him by the Lord of the Mist.

Once the art magic trajectory was complete, Feng Qi used his consciousness to guide the hovering art magic array into motion.

The trajectory diagram contracted, making contact with his bones and imprinting the pattern onto them.

As the art magic formed along the crystal needle’s trajectory, the blood of the domain creature, which had been placed in a nearby vessel, was drawn upward by an invisible force. It floated into the air and surged directly toward him.

When the blood made contact with the bones imprinted with the art magic trajectory, it slowly seeped into them.

As more and more blood floated over, his bones seemed like a gluttonous beast, rapidly absorbing the energy within the blood.

The magic trajectory diagram continuously purified the blood during its operation, expelling impurities.

As the absorption continued, a faint crimson hue began to surface on the surface of the once gray and shriveled heart, which then began to beat slowly.

The heart’s rhythm visibly accelerated, gradually filling with vitality.

Witnessing this, Wei Wei immediately hurried to the refrigerated cabinet and returned with more domain creature blood for the experiment.

Feng Qi, his eyes closed, focused on sensing the changes within his body.

The sensation of absorbing the blood was extraordinary, akin to parched earth drinking in life-giving rain, rejuvenating every fiber of his being.

Finally, his heart regained its power, its beats growing strong and forceful.

Seizing the opportune moment, he chose to shift into his human form.

After a brief wait, crimson mist began to emanate from his skin, spreading outward to envelop his entire body.

Flesh buds and nerves sprouted from the bones like tenacious bean sprouts emerging from the earth, writhing and growing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a thin layer of flesh covered his skeletal frame.

Wei Wei, standing nearby, clicked her tongue in amazement before pulling out her phone to record the entire transformation process.

Compared to the main timeline, where the transformation between forms took only a few seconds, this time he had to wait a full minute before successfully reverting to his human form.

Opening his eyes, he looked down at his body.

Everything was as it should be; he had fully returned to his human form.

Suddenly realizing something, he turned and dashed into the cubicle.

He was completely naked.

The thought that Wei Wei had seen him completely exposed made him feel deeply embarrassed.

Entering the cubicle, he selected a loose-fitting Scarlet Research Institute uniform from the wardrobe and quickly changed into it.

A moment later, he emerged from the cubicle.

Looking at Wei Wei’s composed expression, he scratched his head awkwardly.

”Don’t be embarrassed,” she said. ”The me from the previous timeline probably saw Feng Qi naked countless times. There’s really nothing to be ashamed of. Just think of me as the doctor who circumcised you. Doesn’t that make it less awkward?”

Feng Qi: ...
