Hijacking the Timeline

Just as Feng Qi was about to leave, Tian Shu called him back.

Under Feng Qi’s curious gaze, Tian Shu turned around, revealing his back marked with divine runes.

As the runes twisted, black light coalesced into a swirling vortex in the air, expanding rapidly into a black hole.

A torrent of items erupted from the black hole:

Piles of rune crystals, various spirit minerals, jade stone, armor, and weapons.

In moments, a small mountain of resources had accumulated within the cell.

”The Dawn Organization faces many challenges ahead. Given my current circumstances, I cannot offer you direct assistance. These are remnants I acquired while guarding Main Road 32 of the Heaven-Reaching Road, from Domain Forces I neutralized. Take them.”

A wave of dense spiritual energy washed over Feng Qi, who nodded solemnly.

”Thank you, Uncle Tian Shu.”

”We share a common ideal. Keep moving forward, and don’t disappoint me.” A faint smile flickered across Tian Shu’s gaunt face as he clenched his fist toward the metal gate.

With a flash of purple light, the gate swung open automatically.

”Come in and take them.”

Without hesitation, Feng Qi stepped into the cell.

Mu Qing followed closely behind.

Together, Feng Qi and Mu Qing began transporting the resources.

Without the convenience of personal space, they had to move the piled-up resources bit by bit out of the cage.

After considerable effort, they finally managed to transfer all the resources from inside the cage to the outside.

With the task completed, Feng Qi looked up at Tian Shu within the cage.

Tian Shu clenched his fist again toward the iron gate, and a purple light reappeared. The gate automatically swung shut.

”Goodbye, Uncle Tian Shu. May we meet again someday.”

”Go now. I must return to my slumber. Only in sleep can I find respite from the loneliness in my heart.”

With these words, Tian Shu retreated two steps, dragging his chains, and vanished into the darkness.

Feng Qi gazed deeply into the dark corner of the cage and nodded solemnly.

History had never recorded this warrior who had dedicated his entire life to the survival of Human Civilization, but Feng Qi would remember him.

If he ever reached the end of this path to save the world, he would immortalize their deeds, ensuring all humanity knew of these silent, hidden, and magnificent guardians.

Leaving the 40th underground level, Feng Qi called Dean of Tiger Soul.

He couldn’t transport all the resources Tian Shu had provided himself and clearly needed external assistance.

He decided to divide the resources into two batches.

One batch would be sent to the Tiger Soul Research Institute as seed funding for the Dawn Organization’s future development.

The other batch would be sent to the Scarlet Research Institute.

Especially the rune crystals.

Only the Scarlet Research Institute could maximize the utilization of these resources.

In reality, the Scarlet Research Institute’s resources were currently quite abundant, nearly on par with the Tiger Soul Research Institute, with a vast quantity of spiritual resources stored in its Resource Repository.

However, if these resources had to last for 1,500 years, they would be stretched thin.

This was the primary reason why members of the Scarlet Research Institute would begin rationing their supplies whenever they retreated to their Secret Base.

After all, during those times, the Scarlet Research Institute would be cut off from external resource support.

Apart from the food produced through internal circulation, every other resource would be consumed bit by bit until nothing remained.

Now that Feng Qi could assist the Scarlet Research Institute, he felt it was his duty to do so.

After explaining the resource allocation plan to the Dean of Tiger Soul, Feng Qi and Mu Qing left the Tiger Soul Branch Base and returned to Star City Academy.

Over the next few days, Feng Qi worked closely with members of the Dawn Organization to refine their development plans.

The Dawn Organization’s current starting point was far higher than in previous timelines.

By stabilizing Star City, the Dawn Organization would inevitably grow into a powerful force, rivaling the Domain Sleeper Factions.

Having laid the groundwork across multiple timelines, Feng Qi hoped this time they could go even further.

Though the night may be dark, dawn will surely break.

Three days later.

Star City, Central District, Starlight Bridge.

This historic bridge connects the Eastern and Western Districts of Star City, spanning the city’s largest inland lake and serving as a vital link between multiple regions within the metropolis.

Star City, as a megacity, was originally formed through the merger of several independent cities.

In the past, the eastern and western halves of Star City were separate entities. The Starlight Bridge was conceived during the city’s unification planning.

Today, the bridge stands as a prominent landmark of Star City.

At this moment, Feng Qi stood on one of the central support pillars of the Starlight Bridge, clad in black attire and wearing a scarlet mask. His robes billowed in the howling night wind.

The mask, crafted by the Scarlet Research Institute, possessed functions to block mental energy scans and mimic facial expressions. A large, smiling face was painted on its surface.

Mu Qing, similarly cloaked in a black robe and wearing a scarlet mask, stood quietly beside him.

After a long wait, Feng Qi suddenly turned his gaze downward.

Three figures were rapidly ascending the bridge’s inclined steel cables, moving like phantoms in the night. With astonishing agility, they leaped onto the pillar beside Feng Qi in the blink of an eye.

Feng Qi finally saw their faces clearly.

The leader was a humanoid figure, about 1.8 meters tall, with fish gill-like stripes on his cheeks and sharp, piercing eyes.

From their appearance alone, it was impossible to tell they were domain creatures.

”Your Excellency, what is the purpose of summoning us here?” the leader asked, his voice deep and resonant.

Feng Qi remained silent. Mu Qing, standing beside him, stepped forward, unleashing a terrifying qi momentum that instantly froze the leader’s expression. Fine beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

”Your Excellency, if you summoned us for negotiations, there’s no need to intimidate us right from the start,” the leader said, his face flushed as he struggled against Mu Qing’s oppressive aura.

”Alright, don’t frighten our future allies,” Feng Qi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu Qing immediately withdrew her qi momentum and retreated to stand behind him.

The oppressive force vanished abruptly, and the three domain creatures, their faces pale, exhaled in relief. A flicker of fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Feng Qi.

”Your Excellency, you’ve been wreaking havoc on our alliance’s strongholds recently. What exactly do you want to discuss with us? And what do you mean by ’forming an alliance’?” the leader asked, his voice grave.

”It’s simple,” Feng Qi replied. ”I want to recruit you to serve me.”

Feng Qi cut straight to the point, stating his intentions bluntly.

”Sir, I believe you’ve misunderstood. Our Domain Alliance within Star City merely provides a platform. We cannot compel other factions to follow my orders.”

”I know.”

”Then you...”

”I don’t need you to carry out my tasks. What I want is control of your alliance’s intelligence network, including access to all mission postings. If you refuse, I’ll make it impossible for you to operate in Star City. We’ll conduct three daily sweeps until you yield. Feel free to test my resolve.”

Faced with Feng Qi’s overwhelming assertiveness, the leader’s expression darkened.

He had no doubt Feng Qi would carry out his threat.

The recent destruction of 31 alliance outposts, resulting in hundreds of casualties, served as a clear warning.

”Sir, do you intend to control all of Star City?”
