Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The owner of the fog’s cultivation in seclusion finally ended.
This morning, the sky was starting to brighten.
Feng Qi and the owner of the fog left the old mountain range and flew towards Star City.
Sitting on the gray fog along the way, he realized that the owner of the fog’s movement was more than twice as fast as before.
This was clearly related to the increase in strength.
During the period of seclusion, the owner of the fog’s strength improved every day with the support of the blood stone.
Other than that, after constant improvement, it had perfected the Flesh Sacrifice technique.
Apart from special life forms, Flesh Sacrifice was suitable for all life forms with flesh and blood.
During this period of interaction, Feng Qi also understood the reason for the owner of the fog’s desire to climb to the peak.
During the development of the Flesh Sacrifice, the owner of the fog had said that as long as it could climb to the top, it did not care how many corpses it had to step on.
According to the owner of the fog’s perspective, the biological chain was pyramid-shaped. Only by standing at the top could they avoid being exploited, killed, and enslaved by other powerful races.
If it wanted to lead its race to glory, it could only climb to the peak.
However, this process was cruel.
A large number of competitors would appear along the way, and killing was unavoidable.
In the end, it was all for the future of the race.
Feng Qi could understand its philosophy.
However, in the end, there was still a saying: Different paths could never converge.
In terms of their race, they were already on opposite sides. Humans would also be “obstacles” on the path to the peak.
If he wanted to resolve the problem of standing, he had to ensure that the owner of the fog’s clansmen would forever be stable and not be disrupted by external forces.
However, without climbing to the peak, it was impossible to have the ability to ensure the eternal stability of the race.
During the process of climbing to the peak, one would definitely need to plunder a large number of resources to consume and use them to accelerate the development of the race.
This process could not avoid competition and killing.
The more he interacted with it, the more he felt that the owner of the fog was special.
In the past, he thought that the owner of the fog was a bloodthirsty demon and couldn’t communicate with it at all.
However, he saw the owner of the fog’s determination, pain, desire, anger, fear, and other emotions in this sacrificial timeline.
If it weren’t for the matter of stance, he felt that he could become friends with the owner of the fog.
However, the disagreement in perspective remained unresolved.
If one day the value of the owner of the fog disappeared, he would still attack it.
The owner of the fog was willing to use unscrupulous means to revive its clansmen. It was also willing to attack all the domain forces that blocked the growth of the human race in the future.
Even if they were once “brothers”.
After traveling for a few days, they crossed several domains along the way.
Feng Qi and the owner of the fog finally arrived at the north gate of Star City.
Before they approached Star City, they landed near the main road.
Peering ahead along the main road that led to Star City, he could spot the towering city gate. The steel city wall stretched for several miles from the gate.
At this moment, Feng Qi and the owner of the fog were in a quite miserable condition.
After living in seclusion for so many years, their clothes were tattered, and they looked like refugees.
Following the main road, they walked towards the north gate of Star City.
On the main road to Star City, there was an endless stream of cars. Most of them were military vehicles transporting supplies. There were no passers-by like them.
20 minutes later, they arrived at the city gate of Star City.
As they followed the traffic into the city gate, green light constantly swept past them along the tunnel.
When they walked out of the tunnel, they realized that a staff member was waiting.
The staff member was a woman clad in the Star City garrison uniform, yet she lacked any military rank insignia. It was evident that she was either an intern or a contract worker.
At this moment, she was holding three bags of food and looking at them with a complicated expression.
As they approached, the woman said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Star City’s scavenger residence is full. Here are three bags of food. Please leave.”
As she spoke, she handed three bags of food to Feng Qi.
“You’ve misunderstood. I’m a resident of Star City. My identity number is 11736…”
“A resident of Star City?”
The woman was stunned. She put down the bag containing the food and pressed the button on her right wrist.
The screen on the metal wrist was instantly activated.
After she tapped the screen a few times, she entered the review page.
She entered the identity number provided by Feng Qi and the profile picture that he had taken at the Star City Academy appeared on the screen.
At this moment, the woman looked up at Feng Qi and sized him up carefully.
“I apologize for the misunderstanding. But, to be safe, you have to follow me for a detailed identification check to ensure that you’re not a domain creature.” “Alright!” He nodded without hesitation.
Next, they followed the woman to the audit room. Another staff member came to receive them and scanned their bodies with instruments.
Feng Qi did not panic at all.
Although he had undergone the Demon Dragon Rune modification, the data of his body after the modification had long been registered in the Star City database by the Scarlet Research Institute.
As for the owner of the fog, there was even less to worry about.
The owner of the fog possessed Wang Yi’s body. It was only a controller, so there was no problem with using Wang Yi’s identity.
In less than half an hour, they were let in and their identities were verified.
Upon learning that both he and the owner of the fog had received the Outstanding Contribution to Mankind Award, the woman promptly offered to escort them into the city..
