Hijacking the Timeline

After his flesh and blood were reconstructed, the battle lines could finally be formally engaged.

Before leaving the Scarlet Research Institute, Feng Qi tested his innate abilities, including blood source manipulation.

The results showed that he could use all the innate abilities possessed by his alternate self. The only limitation was that he could only use one at a time, unable to seamlessly switch between them.

This undoubtedly hampered his combat effectiveness.

Even so, his power far surpassed the enhancement he had gained from embedding the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal.

After attending his final Scarlet High Council meeting, Feng Qi returned to Star City Academy with his backpack.

He first visited Bai Fusheng’s office to explain the events of the past year and a half, presenting two cultivation techniques that had yet to surface in the main timeline as evidence.

Bai Fusheng was highly satisfied with the cultivation techniques Feng Qi presented.

Having passed this hurdle, Feng Qi returned to his dormitory.

After being away for over a year, the room was covered in dust. He spent some time cleaning and tidying up.

With the task completed, he sat down on the sofa and retrieved a special glove from his backpack.

The glove was remarkably lightweight, its texture indistinguishable from human skin. It had been custom-designed and crafted for him by the Scarlet Research Institute.

Embedded within the glove were three small, high-purity spirit energy crystals, which would be consumed when casting art magic.

Considering that Feng Qi couldn’t absorb qi blood after his Blood Source Form ended, the Scarlet Research Institute designed this glove specifically for him. It allowed him to absorb qi blood at any time, aiding in the reconstruction of his flesh and blood.

The Scarlet executives jokingly called it the ”resurrection glove.”

Feng Qi slipped the glove onto his right hand.

He clenched his fist, feeling no discomfort whatsoever. In fact, he barely noticed the glove’s presence; it felt as if it had fused seamlessly with his skin.

From now on, he would need to wear this special glove at all times.

With the official commencement of combat operations, assassinations could occur at any moment. Against powerful enemies, he would inevitably have to activate his trump card—the Blood Source ability.

The glove served as his guarantee after each battle.

In addition to the glove, his specially designed backpack contained three boxes of high-purity spirit stones compatible with the resurrection glove, as well as a box of brain activity needles.

A Scarlet Research Institute tracking chip had also been implanted at the nape of his neck, allowing the brain retrieval squad to locate and monitor him.

After checking the backpack’s contents, Feng Qi zipped it up and pulled out his phone to call Lin Ran.

After a brief wait, the call connected, and Lin Ran’s voice came through the line:

”Brother Qi, haven’t you finished your research yet? When are you planning to come back?”

Hearing Lin Ran’s complaint, Feng Qi smiled.

”I’m already back in the dorm. Let’s get the senior sister and the others together and hang out later.”

”I’ll start organizing right away! See you in an hour!”

Hearing that Feng Qi had returned, Lin Ran sounded thrilled. He immediately promised to gather everyone and hung up.

It was eight o’clock in the evening.

After dinner at the Academy Cafeteria, Feng Qi led the students to a grassy field on the campus. They formed a circle and sat down.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, he decided to reveal the truth and officially initiate the combat timeline.

He had confessed to other students before, but this was the first time he was revealing the truth to Mu Qing in the Sacrifice Line.

The combat timeline would present numerous challenges, and Feng Qi believed Mu Qing’s participation was essential.

In this Sacrifice Line, he would only consider resolving problems through force. The future consequences were no longer his concern.

With this in mind, he turned to the monk and said:

”Monk, your real name is Huixu. You’re the heir to the Prajna Domain Combat Team. You came to Star City Academy to investigate the Spirit Energy Clan’s rebel faction behind Le Ping’an, hoping to trace the clues and recover the miracle item they stole. Am I right?”

As he finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Feng Qi’s lips.

Upon hearing these words, the monk’s expression turned momentarily serious, but he quickly masked it, grinning and scratching his head.

”Brother Qi, what are you talking about? I didn’t understand a word.”

”Brother Qi, are you saying that Monk came to Star City Academy on a secret mission?” Lin Ran, sitting beside him, frowned immediately.

Though he didn’t understand terms like ”Spirit Energy Clan” or ”rebel faction,” Lin Ran clearly grasped the gist of Feng Qi’s words, and his gaze toward Monk shifted noticeably.

”Brother Qi, where did you get this information? It must be fake news,” Monk protested.

Feng Qi didn’t bother explaining. His gaze swept over the group before he slowly began:

”I’m about to tell you a secret about myself. It might sound unbelievable, but I assure you everything I’m about to say is true.”

As they stared at Feng Qi, the group sensed that what he was about to reveal would be earth-shattering.

”Brother Qi, just spit it out! I hate riddlers,” Xia Long growled, glancing sideways at Liu Yue, who sat nearby.

Under their expectant gazes, Feng Qi paused, organizing his thoughts before finally saying:

”I have the ability to freely travel between the future and the present.”

After a moment of stunned silence, the group’s expressions shifted in various ways.

Mu Qing looked utterly bewildered, Lin Ran sank into deep thought, and Monk’s eyes flickered with uncertainty...

”I know it’s hard for you to grasp this concept. After all, I was a staunch believer in science before gaining this ability. But some phenomena defy explanation by current scientific knowledge, including the changes within me...”

Amidst the group’s complex expressions, he began recounting his experiences.

It all started with that final class before graduation.

From becoming one of the living dead to discovering the Star City Shelter and realizing he had traveled 1,500 years into the future, learning that the human world had been destroyed.

Then came the exploration of countless timelines, each attempt to uncover the cause of the world’s destruction.

During this time, he learned that werewolves lurked among them, ultimately tracking down and killing Le Ping’an, causing turmoil within Star City Academy.

In these Sacrifice Lines, he had infiltrated the Technology Research Institute as an undercover agent, joined the Dawn Battle Group to stay by Mu Qing’s side as she grew, formed the Dawn Organization to secretly oppose the Black Shadow Faction, and even schemed with the Lord of the Mist to shape the future... From his initial unwavering belief in humanity’s inevitable victory to his gradual understanding of the world’s true, grim reality.

He didn’t dwell on the hardships he had endured, yet Lin Ran and the others found their eyes welling up with tears as they listened.

As they gazed at Feng Qi, who continued his story with a faint smile, they couldn’t fathom the immense pressure and pain he must have endured through countless failures.

The night deepened, and the campus streetlights flickered off at dawn.

Feng Qi was still recounting his experiences traversing multiple timelines to the students.

Each timeline’s events intertwined like pieces of a puzzle. He meticulously pieced together fragments of information, unraveling the truth layer by layer, and revealing the brutal reality of their world to Lin Ran and the others.

The story was long. Even after Feng Qi omitted non-essential details, there remained crucial information that Lin Ran and the others needed to know.
