Chapter 614: Dispelling Questions (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The other Heavenly Soldiers had the same thoughts as Tian Shu.

They, who were fighting on the first line of defense, did not know that the challenges behind them were far more difficult than they had imagined.

They even believed that by safeguarding the Path to Heaven effectively, the advantage of humans would gradually expand.

The second reason was that if the Heavenly Soldiers returned to the human world, the level of disaster facing human civilization would increase greatly.

This problem was easy to understand.

The Heavenly Soldiers guarded the first line of defense and only needed to kill the domain factions who dared to pass.

However, once they chose to return to the human world and build a human civilization with all of humanity, the challenges they faced would increase greatly.

The appearance of a large number of domain factions was a disaster for ordinary people.

The human world was far larger than the Path to Heaven. The workload of the soldiers would also increase greatly. Other than dispersing the domain fields, they also had to protect the human cities from the attacks of domain creatures.

The word ‘guarding’ seemed simple, but the price to pay was not as easy as he had imagined.

After all, the number of Heavenly Soldiers was limited. Choosing to leave the main battlefield in the human world was undoubtedly a disaster for all of humanity.

They chose to guard the Path to Heaven, although there would still be domain factions who would challenge them.

The first type was like the owner of the fog. Even if they cleared the obstacle, their vitality would be greatly damaged, and their clansmen would suffer heavy losses.

The second type was like Little Cripple, who was lucky enough to choose a hidden path and successfully led the entire clansmen through.

However, there were only a few domain factions that could survive.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Soldiers, these domain forces that had crossed the Path to Heaven were difficult challenges to human civilization, but they believed that the human warriors at the back would solve these problems.

It was also to relieve the pressure in this aspect. Children who grew up on the Path to Heaven would be sent back to the human world to join the front line of the supply area. They would be trained against domain factions before finally returning to the Path to Heaven.

While these children were training, they were also helping the Heavenly Soldiers gather information about the human world.

For example, Lu Yue.

As a descendant of the Lu family’s Sword Dao, he had been brought to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao.

He, who was about to reach adulthood, was sent back to the human world.

According to Lu Yue’s normal growth trajectory, he would eventually join the frontline of the supply area and become a frontline warrior. Then, he would return to the Path to Heaven after his training was completed.

During the training, he could bring a lot of information about the human world to the Path to Heaven.

However, this information did not have any relevant information about the hidden domain factions.

After all, ordinary frontline warriors could not come into contact with relevant information in this aspect.

If the Heavenly Soldiers knew that the various cities had long been corroded by the domain factions, they would not continue to guard the front line and would retreat a portion of their strength.

In summary, the various human factions did not know of the existence of the Path to Heaven.

However, the Heavenly Soldiers could only see the development of human civilization, but they could not see the turbulence in the dark.

In reality, if Feng Qi didn’t possess the ability to transmigrate through timelines, he wouldn’t have realized that beneath the facade of the steady development of major cities, there lurked a considerable number of dark aspects.

Therefore, he could understand why the Heavenly Soldiers did not retreat to defend the human world.

At the thought of this, Feng Qi looked up at Tian Shu, who was bound by chains in the prison, and asked curiously.

“Uncle Tian Shu, how much do you know about Mu Yao?”

Tian Shu shook his head helplessly.

“My understanding of that old woman is very limited. I’ve inquired about her background more than once, but every time, she would just smile and ruffle my head playfully, declaring herself a super invincible beauty!”

“I don’t know how many years she has lived, but she’s like a naive little girl to me!”

“Ah Qi, if we follow the normal timeline, I will have contact with Mu Yao in the future, right?” Mu Qing asked curiously.

Feng Qi immediately nodded.

“According to the normal timeline, you will form the Dawn combat team in the future and eventually develop into the Dawn army. During this period, Mu Yao will join the Dawn army to assist you in its development.”

“After you die, Mu Yao will be the second generation leader of the Dawn army. She will continue to command the Dawn Army to fight against various forces. In the end, when the Dawn army is defeated, she will disappear and become a historical mystery.”

When Mu Qing heard this, she nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Tian Shu added.

“The behavior you described aligns perfectly with the old woman’s personality. I’m certain that she must have felt a sense of reluctance before leaving, but she undoubtedly wouldn’t have hesitated. Her mindset has always been oriented toward the well-being of all mankind. She wouldn’t choose to fight to the death over a momentary setback.”

“Failure is the norm in the old woman’s eyes. It doesn’t affect her determination at all. She will still search for new miracles and continue to fight for the continuation of human civilization.”

Hearing Tian Shu’s explanation, Feng Qi nodded.

“She’s strange, indeed… Oh right, Uncle Tian Shu, you seem to know something about the rune crystal on Mu Qing?”

The origin of the scarlet crystal was still a mystery.

However, Feng Qi could roughly guess that the original owner of the scarlet rune crystal must be an extremely powerful and terrifying creature.

He felt that the blurry figure that suddenly appeared every time Mu Qing entered a combat state might be the original owner of the scarlet rune crystal.

Faced with his question, Tian Shu looked at Mu Qing with a nostalgic expression.

After a short silence, he slowly said.

“I don’t know much about this Scarlet Origin, but I do know that the old woman places great value on it. When I was with her, I often saw her fiddling with it and studying it.”

“She attempted to embed the Scarlet Origin into the body of a domain creature. Eventually, the domain creature became instantly formidable, its combat strength increasing by a hundredfold. However, it couldn’t ultimately control the power of the Scarlet Origin and ended up exploding.”

“At that time, I was still young. I asked the old woman if she could give me this beautiful gem.”

“The old woman said that this gem is not something I can control at all. Even if she gave it to me, I won’t be able to use it. If I forcefully embed it, I’ll die instantly. Its owner hasn’t appeared yet.”

“From that point on, I harbored a certain fear of the Scarlet Origin until one day, I realized it had vanished. It puzzled me at the time. The old woman typically always had the Scarlet Origin with her. Suddenly, she didn’t bring it out to toy with for a few days. It didn’t add up.”

“In response to my questions, the old woman said that the power of the Scarlet Origin is not something humans can control at this stage. There’s only one way to use the Scarlet Origin, and that’s to destroy its power structure and only preserve the growth trait.”

“It’s equivalent to giving up the power provided by the Scarlet Origin and leaving only the ability trait. Only this method can allow humans to bear the Scarlet Origin and use its traits to grow quickly.”

“She said that she didn’t have time to analyze the structure of the Scarlet Origin at all, so she had been looking for a miracle to solve this problem. She also said that she had recently found a miracle and sponsored him to build a laboratory. She just had to wait for the day the miracle bloomed.”

“In short, the old woman discovered someone who could assist her in deciphering the Scarlet Origin, and she resumed her hands-off approach. As for whether the individual chosen by the old woman successfully unraveled the power of the Scarlet Origin and left behind any remnants, I don’t know… but judging by appearances, it seems he may have succeeded.”

With that, Tian Shu looked at Mu Qing again.

Hearing this, Feng Qi shook his head.

“He failed, but he nurtured an even more outstanding successor. Her name was Wei Wei. She was the one who completed the cracking of the Scarlet Origin’s power and successfully embedded the Scarlet Origin in Mu Qing’s body.”

“I see.” Tian Shu nodded and continued.

“Although I don’t know the source of the Scarlet Origin, I guess that it must have come from a domain lifeform with extremely terrifying strength. It’s very likely to be the origin power of the Pillar Gods. Otherwise, the old woman wouldn’t have taken it so seriously.”

“In your account, the fact that the old woman will assist Mu Qing in her growth in the future indicates that she has been keeping a close eye on the aftermath of the Scarlet Origin. Mu Qing is considered a miracle in the eyes of the old woman, possessing an immensely significant miraculous power.”

“Unfortunately, I still failed in the end.” Mu Qing said regretfully.

“Senior, this timeline has just begun.”

Hearing Feng Qi’s reminder, Mu Qing immediately stuck out her tongue and said.

“I’m sorry for the pessimism.”

Feng Qi looked at Tian Shu and continued to ask.

“Uncle Tian Shu, I have another question.. Do you know of a thin blue-skinned domain creature?”
