“That’s right, I met Mu Yao in the future. It’s up to you to believe it or not.” “Interesting. How long will that be in the future?” Tian Shu continued to ask. “1,500 years into the future.”
Hearing this number, Tian Shu couldn’t help but laugh.
“It seems like you only found out the old woman’s name from somewhere. You’ve never seen her before. However, I’m curious about what you want from me by coming up with this excuse.”
“Who says I haven’t seen her before? I witnessed her holding a silver spear, clad in tattered armor. Her face remained youthful, frozen at 16 or 17, untouched by the passage of time. In that moment, she stood alone against the relentless tide of beasts, choosing to fight to the death without yielding. Eventually, she succumbed as the sun set.”
Hearing this, the smile on Tian Shu’s face froze.
His expression turned serious as he looked straight into Feng Qi’s eyes as if he wanted to see through him and prove that he was lying.
However, Feng Qi’s expression was as usual. His aura was stable and he did not panic at all.
After all, what he said was the truth.
The atmosphere became a little heavy.
Realizing that Tian Shu did not believe what he said, Feng Qi was about to continue explaining when he suddenly realized what he should say to prove it. “By the way, I also saw you in Mu Yao’s memory.”
“You saw me from the old woman’s memory?” Tian Shu frowned.
“To clarify my previous statement, I traveled to a future world 1,500 years later. By then, human civilization had already crumbled… At least, the human civilization in Star City had collapsed. I cannot explore other regions, so I’m uncertain, but there’s a high likelihood that they too have met the same fate.” “At that time, Mu Yao was already dead. In the end, she turned into a statue and stood in a sinkhole east of Star City forever. She lost her life.”
“Besides having the ability to transmigrate to the future, I also have a special ability. I call this ability Nightmare. It can help me read other people’s memories.”
“At that moment, I inadvertently stumbled upon the fallen Mu Yao, who had perished in battle. My Nightmare ability was triggered upon contact with her statue. A plethora of fragmented information flooded into my mind, revealing much about her. I discovered that she had been on a quest for miracles, seeking a chance for humanity’s future survival.”
“I saw you in one of the fragmented memories.”
Hearing this explanation, Tian Shu’s expression changed. He didn’t believe it at the beginning, but he seemed to waver.
“Go on. What do you see? If you can tell me what only the old woman and I know, I’ll believe you’re telling the truth.”
A smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
“I’m not sure if only you and Mu Yao know about that experience, but I’ll describe it in as much detail as possible.”
After a moment of silence, recalling the memory fragments that surfaced in his mind, he said in a deep voice.
“In that fragmented memory, you were sitting on a bench in the park, swaying your feet and licking a lollipop. At this moment, Mu Yao appeared beside you and circled you a few times. After sized up you for a long time, she came to you with a surprised expression.”
“She said, ‘Little brat, I can see you possess an extraordinary constitution. You’re a one-in-a-million martial arts genius. Now, tell me, what is your dream?”‘
“At that time, you ignored Mu Yao’s question and only cared about lowering your head and nibbling on the lollipop.”
“So Mu Yao asked you about your dreams again and said that she could satisfy all your requests, but the premise was that you had to promise her that you would work hard for the rise of the human race for the rest of your life.”
“You ignored Mu Yao again.”
“So, Mu Yao eventually placed one hand on her waist and gestured towards your head, implying that she would interpret your silence as tacit consent.” “Then, the memories I read were cut off. I don’t know what happened after that.”
After hearing Feng Qi’s story, Tian Shu’s face was filled with disbelief and surprise.
This memory left a deep impression on him.
Even after more than 400 years, he still clearly remembered.
It was his meeting with Mu Yao that changed the rest of his life.
He used to be an orphan. His parents were combatants from the Seventh Metropolis Military.
At that time, domain creatures were wreaking havoc, and the human cultivation system was in its infancy. Cultivation techniques had just been born.
The Seventh Metropolis was not situated in the present-day Victory City. Instead, it was part of a collection of cities, forming a cluster with many others. The Seventh Metropolis was just one among them.
At that time, the methods humans used to resist the invasion of domain creatures were relatively primitive. Every time they encountered an invasion, they would pay a heavy price. His parents died in the battle against them.
He was only five years old at that time.
He, who had no parents, was arranged to live in an orphanage in Seventh Metropolis because of his parents’ contributions.
It was also during that period that he met Mu Yao, who had changed his life.
At this moment, Feng Qi accurately described the scene at that time. He had no choice but to believe that what Feng Qi said might be true.
Only Mu Yao and he knew about this, and he had never told anyone else.
Thinking of this, Tian Shu looked at Feng Qi with a serious expression and said. “I’ll believe you for the time being. Now, tell me why you came for me.” Hearing this, Feng Qi heaved a sigh of relief.
He could choose to be cold and heartless when facing enemies, or even use force to coerce them, but he obviously could not do that when facing Tian Shu.
If Tian Shu were stubborn and refused to believe what he said…
