Speculation on the Dark God Race’s Scheme: The Dark God Race’s plan was to establish and develop the Dark God Sect in the five major cities and the surrounding affiliated cities. Then, through the influence of the Dark God Sect, they would harvest the power of human faith and create a super creature, the Dark God.
Comment: The Dark God Race’s future plans aren’t foolproof. The main concern is the Spiritual Energy Race backing them.
Intelligence Gain 4: Through the owner of the fog’s description, I learned that there was a secret base of the Spiritual Energy Race in the underground sewers of Twilight City, an affiliated city of Former Days City. The research target in the base was the blue-skinned assassin.
Speculation 1: The blue-skinned assassin was a special creature created by the Spiritual Energy Race.
If this speculation was true, it could basically be confirmed that there was more than one miracle item in the Spiritual Energy Race. Their overall strength could easily overturn human civilization.
Speculation 2: The blue-skinned assassin was arrested when it snatched the Spiritual Energy Race’s Holy Spirit Consciousness Library. Then the Spiritual Energy Race began to study it.
This speculation was more consistent with the truth than the first.
Comment: There seems to be an issue with this anomaly. However, the current intelligence is lacking, preventing a detailed judgment based on the limited information available.
Intelligence Gain 5: From the owner of the fog’s description, I learned that the future plan of the Science and Technology Research Institute was called the Black Death Project.
This plan could basically be confirmed to be the plan to create Blackie. However, as Wang Yi was a core combatant, the owner of the fog could not come into contact with research information and could not conduct an in-depth understanding and investigation of the Black Death Project. Intelligence Gain 6:1 discovered the existence of a miraculous item in the Black Absolute Domain Field, situated between Former Days City and the East Sea.
This miracle item was temporarily called the Miracle Bracelet. It could ignore distance to collect the power of faith. The specific absorption efficiency was still to be tested.
Future Outlook: Perhaps by establishing a connection of faith, the ability of the main timeline can be projected onto the sacrifice timeline. This way, I will also possess powerful innate abilities like the Blood Source in the sacrifice timeline. If this plan was feasible, I could launch a powerful attack in the sacrifice timeline next time.
Follow-up Plan: Rest for a few days to adjust my mental state before heading to the Black Absolute Domain Field to snatch the Miracle Bracelet.
Danger Evaluation: Fog could effortlessly overcome the humanoid leader before its body fully healed. Moreover, the life curse from the humanoid domain creature had minimal impact on me before its demise. The innate ability of Purple Soul proved highly effective in mitigating damage from various energy forms.
In Summary: Very low risk
Intelligence Gained 7: Learning about the owner of the fog’s growth.
Intelligence Content: After accompanying Fog along the sacrifice timeline, I understood its pain, dreams, and determination.
Only then did I realize that the heinous individual in the previous timeline had
a different side. It could even be said that it valued friendship.
But no matter what, it could not erase the heinous sins it had committed against humanity…
At this point, Feng Qi suddenly stopped writing.
Having accompanied Fog for more than 10 years, many of his experiences were still vivid in his mind.
Particularly memorable was the scene where Fog risked its life to save him, carrying him through outside Former Days City.
At that time, he was touched by Fog’s disregard for its own safety.
Now, he vividly recalled the moment when Fog struggled to move its fingers on the ground before its demise, urging him to persist in pursuing its dream.
Putting aside their differences, they could be true friends.
The owner of the fog on this sacrifice timeline had taught him many things. It also led him to comprehend that, viewed from another perspective, there was very little genuine evil; rather, it was mostly a matter of compulsion. During the years he had grown up with the owner of the fog, he had asked himself.
If there was a day when humans faced a desperate situation and the only way out was to lead humans to another world to conquer and plunder, what would he do?
The answer to this question was obvious.
He was not a saint. He had only chosen to think from the perspective of humans.
All factors that were unfavorable to humans were evil in his eyes.
He didn’t feel that he was in the wrong, but he didn’t think that the owner of the fog was in the wrong either.
The reason was none other than their positions being different.
However, he would still stand on the side of humans and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. He would work tirelessly to reach the ideal future.
The only regret in his heart was that fate had destined him to be enemies with the owner of the fog.
Their brief encounter and the subsequent acquaintance resembled an
unrealistically idyllic vision. It was just like a dream.
[Actually, there are alternatives beyond hostile choices between you and Fog. I observed your sacrifice timeline memories and recognized a potential resolution for the conflict, although it’s evidently impractical at present.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
“What do you mean?”
[Based on your memories of the sacrifice timeline, Fog has manifested the fog domain field, identified by humans as the ‘Silent Domain Field.’]
[But at this stage, humans have yet to launch a strategy for the Silent Domain Field. In other words, Fog at this time has never harmed humans, let alone threatened them.]
[Through Fog’s explanation, we have understood that its goal is to stand at the top of the world and become a Pillar God. However, the core of this goal is that only by becoming the Pillar God can it have the ability to protect its race from external threats forever… In summary, Fog is most concerned about its clansmen. This is also the promise it made to all its clansmen when it became the leader of the Fog Race.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi suddenly understood what the narrator wanted to express.
“You’re suggesting that if I can align Fog with my cause, it won’t just refrain it from becoming an adversary to humans but could potentially become an ally?” [That’s correct. There are no eternal enemies, only perpetual advantages. If you can persuade Fog to align itself with humans, you could secure a reliable ally with limitless potential for all of humanity.]
After hearing the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qj’s expression changed.
The narrator’s words opened up a new train of thought for him.
Thinking about it carefully, there was still a long way to go.
There were many challenges that humanity had to face in the future.
Could he recruit a group of like-minded domain races to unite with humans and face the unknown disaster together?
But just as the narrator said, he couldn’t recruit the owner of the fog at this time.
There were three conditions to rope in the owner of the fog.
1. Possesses absolute strength.
Strength was the foundation of negotiations. Without matching strengths, it was impossible to talk on the same level.
This problem was not difficult to solve.
With the activation of the Blood Source form, his combat prowess matched, if not surpassed, the heavily injured Fog. As long as he continued to enhance his strength, overcoming the present state of Fog would not pose a significant challenge.
2. Help the owner of the fog find a way to revive its clansmen.
Strength served as merely the prerequisite for a conversation, not the decisive factor.
Resurrecting the clansmen was what the owner of the fog cared about the most. It could even be said to be an “obsession”. Only by solving this problem would Fog be willing to form an alliance with him.
Otherwise, considering his comprehension of Fog, if he were to use force to compel submission, it would likely result in underhanded tactics and deceit. This might lead to a few stabs in the back against the human camp in the future.
3. Let Fog see a future it could look forward to.
Fog valued relationships a lot. If he helped it revive its clansmen, it would definitely be grateful.
However, pure gratitude was not the key factor in an alliance. Based on his understanding of the owner of the fog, there was a high chance that it would choose to help the human camp grow in the future and not completely stand with them.
The only way to make Fog stand firmly with humans was to let it see an ideal future, a future where its clansmen could live peacefully forever.
He had to figure out how to solve this problem.
However, he had to convince Fog that he could do it. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk. Fog would not be easily fooled.
After solving these three problems, Fog would be able to stand firmly on the side of the human camp and work hard for the future with all of humanity. At the thought of this, excitement appeared in Feng Qi’s eyes.
The guilt in his heart disappeared at this moment.
After hearing the narrator’s words, he found a brand new path. He realized that the difference in position between him and Fog could be resolved.
It was not as he had imagined, where there was only one outcome.
A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
“Narrator, you’ve helped me a bunch.”
[If you really want to thank me, please show some sincerity.]
“How so?”
[Call me “Father”.]
“Id*ot!”
[Pui!]
