Hijacking the Timeline

The fact that the Lord of the Mist still had the strength to resist Mu Qing’s onslaught was something Feng Qi hadn’t anticipated.

To be honest, he hadn’t witnessed the battle in the Mist Zone firsthand and didn’t have a clear understanding of what had transpired.

But he had researched the relevant records.

According to her teammates who were on the exploration mission with her at the time, Mu Qing entered a state of uncontrollable rage when she saw the Lord of the Mist attacking their comrades.

In that moment, Mu Qing’s combat power surged exponentially, allowing her to effortlessly suppress and defeat the Lord of the Mist.

Reflecting on this, he could understand why the Lord of the Mist was still able to struggle against Mu Qing now.

The timeline’s influence was significant.

Under normal circumstances, Mu Qing’s confrontation with the Lord of the Mist should have occurred two and a half years later.

She had missed out on two and a half years’ worth of meals at Star City Academy.

Assuming three meals a day, that amounted to 912 days, or 2737 meals.

Mu Qing’s combat power relied heavily on rapid enhancement through eating. At this point, she was still far from her peak strength during her time with the Dawn Army, and there was a noticeable gap between her current capabilities and what she would have achieved in two and a half years.

Fortunately, Mu Qing’s current strength was still more than enough to easily suppress the Lord of the Mist.

Under Mu Qing’s relentless assault, the Lord of the Mist was completely on the defensive.

It could only rely on the qi-blood energy stored within the gray mist to continuously repair its body, desperately seeking an opportunity to counterattack.

Faced with the sudden appearance of his enemies, the Lord of the Mist felt ten thousand alpacas stampeding through his mind.

For months, he had been meticulously monitoring the fusion of the mist domain field with the human world, patiently awaiting its completion before launching his Domain Field expansion campaign.

Though he had lost his clansmen, he believed that with his own abilities, he could rapidly establish a solid foundation for his power by expanding the Domain Field while continuously gathering weaker clans as allies.

Then, he would use the blood of these weaker clans to resurrect his own people.

The Mist Clan’s future wasn’t without hope for a comeback.

But just as the rules of the mist domain field were about to fully integrate with this world, and his expansion plans were set to commence within the next few years, he was suddenly ambushed.

If the enemy’s motives had been clear, he might have taken it better.

The problem was that these attackers had clearly mistaken their target.

What snack mercenaries? What bullshit about brothers? When did I ever have brothers?!

The Lord of the Mist, convinced he was being misunderstood, was furious.

Back in the domain world, he had once dismissed the ”Theory of Fortune” as nonsense, but now he was starting to believe it.

Ever since leading his clansmen on the path of pioneering, the Mist Clan seemed to have been cursed, or perhaps, as the Theory of Fortune would have it, their Clan Fortune had been exhausted, ushering in a period of misfortune.

First, they encountered a group of terrifying Roadblockers while forging their path.

After a bitter struggle, they managed to carve out a passage only through the sacrifice of all their clansmen, leaving him as the sole survivor to breach the world barrier.

Arriving in the human world, he lay dormant, quietly recuperating and awaiting his opportunity.

Yet before he could even begin his Domain Field expansion plan, enemies suddenly came knocking.

And these enemies were exceptionally powerful.

If the attackers had simply declared, ”I’m here to kill you,” he might have felt better.

After all, the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—held true in every world.

To kill you, no reason was needed; it was simply because I am stronger and I desire it.

But the problem lay in the enemy’s claim that they had been sent by his brother, making it clear they had targeted the wrong Mist.

This realization only deepened the Lord of the Mist’s anguish.

Faced with Mu Qing’s suppression, he attempted to resist, but her abilities completely countered his own.

The Lord of the Mist’s usually invincible gray mist, when confronted with the jade-colored mist enveloping Mu Qing, melted away like butter against a raging fire, utterly failing to restrain her.

This realization sparked the thought of escape.

His dream of resurrecting his clansmen remained unfulfilled. Facing Mu Qing, whose strength clearly surpassed his own, he saw no hope of victory. Continuing the fight would only lead to his qi-blood energy being depleted, leaving him with certain death.

As long as the mountain remains, there’s always firewood to burn.

Losing the mist domain field meant forfeiting his home-field advantage, but at least he would survive.

In the future, anything was possible.

What truly frustrated him was that Mu Qing’s every strike shattered his physical form, making escape impossible.

Suppressing his frustration, the Lord of the Mist glanced at Feng Qi, who stood observing the battle from afar.

It was clear that Feng Qi was allied with the berserker before him.

The Lord of the Mist immediately conceived a plan to use Feng Qi as leverage against Mu Qing.

Without hesitation, he began manipulating the distant mist with his consciousness, directing it to encircle Feng Qi.

He had employed a similar tactic in the previous timeline.

Faced with Mu Qing’s relentless suppression and unable to find a countermeasure, the Lord of the Mist had targeted the joint operation team, hoping to distract Mu Qing and create an opening.

Unfortunately, this tactic not only failed but also drove Mu Qing into a berserk state, her combat power surging to terrifying levels.

The tables had turned: from suppression to a brutal beating.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Lord of the Mist swiftly enveloped Feng Qi in gray mist, manipulating it to bind him.

The mist’s terrifying corrosive power caused black spots to erupt across Feng Qi’s skin as it drained his qi blood.
