Hijacking the Timeline

Tiger Soul Research Institute.

2:00 AM.

Within the sealed core zone, chaos reigned. Debris and shattered metal fragments littered the area.

In just one hour, Feng Qi had led his students to completely seize control of the region.

His memories from the previous timeline gave him an intimate understanding of the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s layout. This surprise surge caught even the battle group stationed at the institute off guard.

The only resistance came from the Nightshadow Clan.

But the Nightshadow Clan’s demise was already inevitable.

After the battle, everyone gathered near the control console.

Having shed his Blood Source Form, Feng Qi reverted to his Battle Body Form. He stood before a fallen Nightshadow Clan member, extending his gloved right hand to begin drawing the Qi Blood Absorption Formation.

Using the glove as a conduit, spiritual energy surged from within, tracing a glowing path along his fingertips.

As the art magic trajectory of the Qi Blood Absorption Formation materialized, wisps of qi blood rose from the dead Nightshadow Clan member’s body. Drawn by the formation’s pull, the qi blood flowed steadily into Feng Qi’s body.

This method of replenishing qi blood was far more cumbersome than the kill-and-absorb method used in the main timeline.

Yet Feng Qi was already grateful that his Sacrifice Line self could borrow his main timeline’s innate ability. He dared not ask for more.

At the same time, he was now almost certain of one thing.

In the Sacrifice Line, killing domain creatures clearly didn’t completely erase them from the multiverse, as it did in the main timeline.

The Narrator had once said that the ability to erase was linked to the innate ability to absorb.

Since the Sacrifice Line version of him couldn’t extract innate abilities from domain creatures, the concept of erasure simply didn’t exist.

As clumps of blood mist surged into his body, his withered heart gradually regained its crimson hue and began to beat slowly.

”Brother Qi, what should we do with them?”

Hearing Lin Ran’s call, he turned toward the voice.

Near the wall, not far from the control console, stood a group of humans wearing Tiger Soul Research Uniforms, their eyes betraying barely concealed fear.

”Wait a moment!”

Absorbing the last wisp of blood mist, Feng Qi clenched his fist.

The specialized glove immediately ceased emitting spiritual energy and entered standby mode.

Feng Qi then stepped into the adjacent room.

With a thought, he shifted back to his human form.

Dense qi blood surged from his heart, enveloping his body. Flesh and blood rapidly regenerated alongside the spreading blood mist, and in the blink of an eye, he had fully restored his physical form.

Approaching the wardrobe in the room, he retrieved a set of brand-new clothes and immediately changed into them.

Leaving the room, he headed straight for the Nightshadow Clan Leader’s chambers nearby.

Upon entering, he was greeted by a scene of extravagant luxury.

The walls were inlaid with high-grade spirit stones of various elemental attributes, arranged in a Spirit-Locking Array. The entire room was saturated with spiritual energy, so dense it had materialized into a misty aura.

An ordinary person with no knowledge of cultivation studies would feel their physical strength increase with just a single deep breath in this room.

In addition, the potted plants lining the southern wall were all top-tier spirit plants currently obtainable by humans.

The floor was paved with rare gemstones of every color, their surfaces shimmering with iridescent mists under the light.

Even the decorations on the bedside table were made from the finest resources, and the water dispenser in the northern corner contained precious, rare spirit spring water.

These top-tier resources were exceedingly scarce. The Tiger Soul Research Institute had to ration them carefully for their various research projects, given their limited allocation. Yet the Nightshadow Clan Leader was squandering them so carelessly.

He approached the desk.

Spread across its surface were blueprints for a Super Art Magic. At the center of the diagram was a ferocious, eight-armed Asura, each arm wielding a uniquely shaped weapon.

The upper right corner of the blueprint was stamped with ”Version 2.0.”

Compared to the elaborate future plans and strategies of other powerful clans, the Nightshadow Clan’s approach was remarkably simple and brutal: they intended to use brute force to compete in the final struggle for racial dominance.

Their concept for a Super Art Magic was equally straightforward.

They aimed to create a technique that could link the power of all Nightshadow Clan members into a single, unified force.

The envisioned Eight-Armed Asura was colossal, capable of housing every member of the clan. In battle, different Nightshadow Clan members would control different limbs of the Asura, each wielding a unique weapon with devastating power.

Creating this Super Art Magic required solving numerous challenges, such as developing techniques for telepathic communication between clansmen and fusion arts that could harmonize their conflicting energies.

The Super Art Magic’s creation would involve multiple stages, or more precisely, the concept was composed of a combination of several distinct art magics.

As the blueprint revealed, the blue energy body enveloping the Nightshadow Clan Leader didn’t even qualify as a prototype of the Eight-Armed Asura.

Feng Qi had no interest in this Super Art Magic.

At that moment, he reached for the tablet lying on the desk.

After waking the screen, he entered a passcode.

The interface displayed a list of options.

During the Nightshadow Clan’s infiltration of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the entire clan had experienced rapid development and learned a great deal.

This included planning for the future and meticulously recording important events.

He tapped the ”Mission List” option.

Immediately, detailed information appeared, outlining the Nightshadow Clan’s recent mission plans and assignments.

After filtering out completed tasks, he focused on the missions currently being executed by Nightshadow Clan members.

Memorizing the details, he strode out of the Nightshadow Clan Leader’s chamber.

Arriving at Lin Ran’s location, Feng Qi’s gaze swept over the crowd huddled against the wall, their faces etched with terror.

These individuals weren’t domain creatures but rather researchers and staff from the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Most had been mentally controlled by the Nightshadow Clan, their bodies moving against their will.

With the Nightshadow Clan members all dead, the mental control link had severed, and clarity had returned to their eyes.

But there were exceptions.

Among them were human traitors like Director Liu, who had willingly pledged allegiance to the Nightshadow Clan.

Without the intelligence from the previous timeline, he would have been utterly helpless in this situation, unable to even distinguish the human traitors among them.

Fortunately, his intelligence included a list of humans mentally controlled and enslaved by the Nightshadow Clan.

In the previous Sacrifice Line, during his time managing the Tiger Soul Research Institute for Old Mist, he had obtained this list from Ye Er.

Ye Er likely didn’t understand why he wanted the list.

But for Feng Qi, this list held immense significance.

Although he himself would never need it in that timeline, he knew that another version of himself would certainly find it useful.

In every Sacrifice Line, his perspective was never limited to ”himself.” Instead, he always considered the needs of future timelines, viewing matters from the perspective of the main timeline.

Now, the list of traitors had finally proven its worth.

As he gazed at the bewildered crowd huddled against the wall, he slowly began to speak:
