Chapter 57: Suspicious Points

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing his future self being executed, Feng Qi felt very pained.

Every time he transmigrated to the future, it meant that the Feng Qi in a timeline had become a sacrifice of trial and error, enduring immense pressure and pain.

Therefore, before he died, the future him said that death was just a relief and told him not to feel guilty.

However, when he saw the onlookers cheering for this and the future him lying on the execution platform with his head separated from his body, how could he not feel guilty?

At the end of the execution live-stream, a person appeared.

Although his appearance had changed and there were a few more scars on his face, he could still recognize at a glance that this person was the monk.

Presently, he had changed back into his tattered ascetic attire and slowly walked up to the execution platform. Then, he sat cross-legged beside Feng Qi and closed his eyes to chant silently, as if he was performing a ritual to release his soul from suffering.

…..

Although he did not know what the monk’s relationship with him was like in the future of this timeline, he did not expect that at this moment, the seemingly unreliable monk would actually come to send him off.

During this period, the onlookers’ stones hit him, but he was unmoved. He put his hands together in front of his chest and kept chanting.

When the military personnel came to clear the area, the monk reached out and brushed his face, closing the eyes that were still open.

At the end of the video was the scene of the cleaning the event location. At this moment, a team of people in black robes arrived again.

However, there was no sign of Mu Qing this time. They seemed to be negotiating with the military personnel and finally took his corpse away.

When the video ended, Feng Qi took a deep breath.

He still could not calm down, but he knew that now was not the time to be melancholic. He had to cherish every minute and second he had in the future dream.

Therefore, he opened the search function and entered the monk s name, “Hui Xu”.

After filtering, the relevant information appeared.

[Hui Xu (Master)]:

Age at death: 219

Introduction: The 239th abbot of the Jinxian Temple, an outstanding graduate of Star City Academy. He did nothing in his early years. When he was middle-aged, he suddenly came to his senses and took over the Prajna Domain Combat Team. During this period, he led the combat team to make many contributions. In his later years, he left his position as the commander and traveled the world to promote his tenacious and unyielding spirit. He awakened countless knowledgeable people to fight for the future of humanity and was honored as a Master by later generations.

Netizens commented:

Praise for the Future: Actually, Master Huixu’s early life was very bumpy. In his early years, he was almost involved in Feng Qi’s case, causing him to be constantly insulted. However, after flipping through the historical materials, I realized that Master Huixu’s awakening seemed to be directly related to Feng Qi, but I don’t know the exact reason.

Soul Slayer: If you want to argue about Master Hui Xu’s change, 1 think it must have something to do with Feng Qi. This is because Master Hui Xu once had the thought of leaving Buddhism. However, on the day of Feng Qi’s execution, he put on the clothes of an ascetic monk and completely changed from then on. After expiating Feng Qi, he returned to Buddhism and entered the Prajna Domain Combat Team. In the end, he relied on his own efforts to become the commander. His story is very inspirational, but also very sad. He didn’t seem to believe that his friend Feng Qi would betray humanity.

Firm Will: Master Hui Xu was once Feng Qi’s student. His appearance at the moment of the execution was just a student’s tribute to his teacher. I believe it has nothing to do with Feng Qi’s influence on him. One is the spiritual leader of many people, and the other is a traitor. What can there be between them?

Foodie Little Li: Actually, historical records can prove Master Hui Xu’s bond with Feng Qi. When he was at Star City Academy, Master Hui Xu couldn’t be called a Master yet, and neither could he after graduation. In the years to come, Hui Xu, who was dispirited, was no Master.

However, until the moment Feng Qi was executed, Hui Xu, who had changed back into his ascetic clothes, was a true Master. He had completely changed. We cannot understand Master Hui Xu’s inner world, but I know that Feng Qi’s death had a huge impact on him.

After reading the monk’s introduction, Feng Qi did not expect that the monk, who he had always felt was unreliable, would grow into the spiritual leader for many people.

As for whether the monk’s change was related to him, he had no way of knowing.

He had never experienced what happened subsequently in this timeline. All the answers could only be found in his private email.

Before that, he had one more chance of accessing profiles, so he entered Mu Qing’s name in the search bar.

A few seconds later, relevant information about Mu Qing appeared.

[Mu Qing (Leader of Rebel Army)]:

Introduction: Originally a student of Star City Academy. After graduation, she joined the Howling Wind Domain Combat Team and became a domain warrior. During this period, her performance was outstanding and she was constantly promoted. In just half a year, she advanced to deputy commander. The Howling Wind domain combat team was also promoted to become a Grade-A combat team due to Mu Qing’s efforts alone.

In her third year after graduating from Star City Academy, she disregarded all calls to stay and left the Howling Wind Domain Combat Team and personally formed one of the ten strongest combat teams, the Dawn Domain Combat Team. During this period, they made many contributions and obtained many awards. She was evaluated as one of the candidates for the Historical God of Combat.

However, after Feng Qi’s death, Mu Qing’s temperament changed drastically. She killed the commanders of several well-known domain combat teams in a meeting initiated by the Scarlet Research Institute. After that, she even recruited a large number of scavengers and established the human rebel army, Dawn. She also restarted the Rune Transformers Project to fight against humans.

Her hands were stained with a large amount of innocent blood. She led the rebel army to slaughter several cities. Her sins were grave and she was shamed by future generations.

Cause of death: Confidential (highest authority)

Tags: Rune Transformer, Leader of Dawn, Human Traitor

Personality: Brutal, cold-blooded, unscrupulous

Netizens commented:

A moment of silence for the deceased: Mu Qing was definitely one of the strongest combatants in the world. If she had developed according to the normal trajectory, the young her had huge growth potential and could definitely be evaluated as the current God of Combat. However, because of Feng Qi, she went on the same path of betraying all mankind, becoming a human traitor.

Lone Walker: I’m impressed by Feng Qi. He affected so many people. Fortunately, he died early. Otherwise, he would have caused a lot of trouble.

Vitality Like a Dragon’s: Looking through history, 1 feel that there are many suspicious points. Everyone says that Mu Qing betrayed humanity because of Feng Qi, but I think there might be other reasons. Before the Scarlet Research Institute held the domain combat team meeting, Mu Qing had always wanted to prove that Feng Qi was not wrong, but she was still on the front line of resisting the invasion of the domain. Her betrayal came very suddenly and I feel that there are many suspicious points.

After reading future’s evaluation of Mu Qing, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.

In the future, he would rather die than let Mu Qing save him because he felt that this was the closest Mu Qing had ever been to being changed.

He thought that Mu Qing, who was already the commander of the Dawn Domain Combat Team, would walk the path of helping human civilization rise in the future. He did not expect her to still walk the old path in the end.

This time, Mu Qing had betrayed humanity because of the Scarlet Research Institute.

He couldn’t help but suspect that behind her betrayal of all mankind, was the Scarlet Research Institute’s secret manipulation.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he could not explain it.

If Mu Qing was the Scarlet Research Institute’s secret weapon against humans, why didn’t they keep her in the institute and instead, gave her freedom?

All the reasons seemed to be related to that meeting.

Puzzled, he opened the search list and began to search for relevant information about the meeting..
