Reaching the shore, Feng Qi sat down to rest.
After two days and nights of high-intensity movement, he was beginning to feel a bit exhausted.
During his break, he retrieved a bottle of Mental Soothing Agent from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in one go.
After a brief frown, he felt as if his consciousness was being soaked in warm water, incredibly soothing.
A few minutes later, the sensation faded. Feng Qi closed his eyes and began to recover his strength.
At this moment, he completely let down his guard against external threats, allowing his consciousness to retreat into his mental sea.
As for any potential dangers in the outside world, he wasn't concerned.
Nothing could escape the Narrator's perception—not even Little Black.
If a threat appeared, the Narrator would give him a warning before it struck, providing him with enough time to react accordingly.
With an intense battle ahead, Feng Qi decided to increase his strength to ensure a higher chance of success.
In the previous Future Dreamline, he had killed numerous domain creatures, collecting several new innate abilities.
However, apart from Earth Element Resistance, which he gained after slaying a Stone Giant, the rest were unimpressive and contributed little to his overall power.
Feng Qi categorized innate abilities into two main types: passive abilities and active abilities.
He always kept passive abilities.
These types of abilities didn't require manual activation or energy expenditure; they constantly provided enhancements to his body.
For example, one of his earliest abilities, Resilience, increased his body's flexibility and durability.
This was a typical passive ability.
Other passive abilities functioned similarly, offering direct enhancements to his physical body.
On the other hand, he was selective about active abilities.
Active abilities required conscious activation, often consuming his vital energy during use.
This meant that too many active abilities could conflict with each other.
For instance, when activating Blood Source Form, using another ability that also drained his vital energy would shorten the duration of his transformation.
Thus, having too many active abilities wasn't necessarily an advantage.
The best approach was to curate a set of active abilities that complemented his fighting style.
As for abilities he didn't need, he now had a new use for them—Three-Tails.
Between the last Sacrificial Timeline and his journey to Black Abyss Island, Feng Qi had slain many domain creatures.
These creatures had granted him eleven new innate abilities.
Aside from the two passive ones—Water Element Resistance and Water Skin—he removed the rest of the ability spheres.
"Three-Tails!"
He sent a mental transmission, establishing a spiritual link with the golden-red miracle token at the center of his mental sea.
After a brief pause, Three-Tails's head emerged from within the token, followed by its entire body.
Scanning its surroundings, it excitedly rushed toward Feng Qi.
"Eat!"
Without hesitation, Feng Qi held the green ability sphere near Three-Tails's mouth.
Three-Tails, already accustomed to the disassembly process, hesitated for a moment before reluctantly opening its mouth and swallowing the sphere.
Immediately, its body flickered between light and shadow.
After a short delay, Three-Tails opened its mouth and spat out thirteen golden beads—Talent Points.
Feng Qi handed it another ability sphere, then a third, a fourth… until the ninth.
After counting the final batch of golden talent points, he opened his status panel.
[Status Panel]
Innate Abilities: Water Element Resistance, Water Skin, Stun, Poison, Purple Soul, Herculean Strength, Hard Skin, Swift, Steel Bones, Thorns, Regeneration, Steel Fang, Malice, Blood Source, Nightmare, Resilience, Elite Undead
Power Evaluation: Silver (Mid-tier) (without activating Blood Source Form)
Mental Strength: Weak
Bloodline: Human (Intermediate)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 7805/10,000
Talent Points: 267 (Can be used for ability advancements)
With his previous Talent Points, his current total had reached 267.
Now, he had to decide how to allocate them.
After careful thought, he chose to enhance Blood Source.
Among all his abilities, Blood Source was undoubtedly the most practical at this stage, with significant growth potential.
If he continued upgrading it, he might even fully transform into the Dark God's form upon activation.
Even though he had only obtained one of the six fundamental origins of the Dark God, its complete form was still unimaginably powerful.
That kind of overwhelming power, capable of stirring the heavens and shifting the winds with just a wave of a hand, was still fresh in his memory.
The ultimate evolution of Blood Source could very well be the Dark God Form he had experienced in the Sacrificial Timeline.
[Correction: You're misunderstanding something. The characteristic of the Evolution Token is to break innate abilities down into their raw essence, which can then be used to grow and evolve any ability. In essence, as long as you have enough Talent Points, there is no ceiling to how far you can advance your abilities.]
[That includes your Blood Source ability. Even if you reach the Dark God Form, with sufficient Talent Points, you can continue to evolve beyond that.]
Hearing the Narrator's explanation, Feng Qi was momentarily stunned.
"That… doesn't quite make sense. I always assumed Talent Points push abilities toward their strongest form, meaning there should be a limit."
[Your assumption isn't entirely wrong, but Talent Points are fundamentally composed of the raw essence extracted from innate abilities. Even if no path exists ahead, they can carve one out for you.]
[For example, once your Blood Source ability evolves into its final Dark God Form, where no further precedent exists, the raw essence will begin constructing new evolutionary paths—guiding you toward the most suitable advancements and completing the progression.]
"That powerful?"
[Everything in existence is built upon fundamental laws, even spiritual energy itself is merely a derivative of the greater rules of the universe. What seems like an overpowered ability can often be broken down and explained logically.]
Feng Qi nodded in understanding.
The Narrator continued:
[Perhaps many things we can't yet explain—like Little Black's immortality, your time-space traversal, the Psionic Race's Sacred Spirit Consciousness Repository, or Qin Shikong's future deduction ability—are simply because we haven't grasped their fundamental principles yet.]
Feng Qi agreed.
Mystery and impossibility were simply terms used for the unknown.
Just like how, in early human history, anything unexplainable was deemed superstition, yet from a modern perspective, these same phenomena could be scientifically understood.
Glancing at his status panel once more, he initiated Blood Source Enhancement.
The process was simple—he merely needed to feed Talent Points (golden orbs of Talent Essence) into the Blood Source ability sphere.
As soon as the orbs touched the Blood Source Sphere, they were instantly absorbed and digested.
With each successive infusion, the sphere transformed.
The dark green flame imprint on its surface became more distinct, and a thin layer of crimson mist began to emerge.
After counting his remaining Talent Points, he chose to continue feeding them into Blood Source.
Finally, when only 23 Talent Points remained, Blood Source evolved once more.
He opened the status panel to inspect the changes.
[Innate Ability: Blood Source]
Talent Rating: Seventh Tier, 0.01% Progress
Description: Condenses a Blood Core within the heart, greatly enhancing cardiac efficiency. This ability can also be actively triggered, instantly draining the Blood Core's energy to form an Unyielding Blood Source Form, granting an explosive boost in combat power. Its effectiveness increases in proportion to the user's Vital Energy Reserve.
This upgrade had elevated Blood Source to the Seventh Tier.
With 23 Talent Points left, Feng Qi decided to invest them all into Purple Soul.
After completing his ability upgrades, he opened his eyes.
The sky was faintly lit, with a crimson sun slowly rising over the horizon.
He stood up and walked toward the rainforest.
Through relentless hunting along the way, his Vital Energy had fully recovered to peak condition, meaning he no longer had to worry about being unable to activate Blood Source Form.
He felt no fear for the upcoming battle.
Upon entering the rainforest, the environment became far more complex, with no clear path forward.
During his previous timeline's visit to Black Abyss Domain Field, trails had already been carved out, leading deeper into the island.
But at this moment, he was likely the first human to step foot here.
If he wanted to venture further inland, he would have to pave his own path.
The rainforest was hot and humid, with dense vegetation everywhere.
Towering trees stretched their branches like a tangled web, forming a canopy that blocked most of the sunlight. Only a few rays of light managed to pierce through, forming visible columns of light.
Fortunately, with his Night Vision ability, he had no difficulty navigating the dimly lit environment.
After traveling some distance, he retrieved his Navigation System from his backpack.
As expected, since Black Abyss Domain Field hadn't yet fully integrated with the outside world, there was no signal inside.
From here on, he had to rely on memory to find his way forward.
Thick vines covered the area like a spider web, and he could hear distant roars of beasts echoing through the jungle.
Compared to his memories, the terrain was significantly different.
After all, when he had arrived here in the Sacrificial Timeline, it was already many years later.
Right now, without a map or a working GPS, navigating blindly increased the risk of getting lost. He might even unintentionally move further away from his target.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of the Narrator.
Every time Little Black was about to appear, the Narrator would always sense it beforehand and issue a warning.
The Narrator had also mentioned before that it possessed an exceptionally strong range-based perception and detection ability.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi immediately called out,
"Narrator, wake up. Time to work."
[Capitalist Qi-ge, may I ask... what the hell do you need from me again? Can't you at least give me a day off?]
Ignoring the Narrator's complaints, Feng Qi continued,
"I'm worried I'll get lost if I go further. Use your detection ability to scout ahead and see if you can locate the Humanoid Tribe."
The Narrator fell silent.
A moment later, it spoke again.
[Ding! Target located: Humanoid Tribe detected at the 3 o'clock direction. Move out!]
Feng Qi immediately adjusted his heading and headed in that direction.
The jungle terrain was incredibly complex, so he decided to leap up, grabbing onto the hanging vines, attempting to swing through the trees like Tarzan.
However, he quickly realized that this method was completely impractical.
After swinging just twice, as soon as he grabbed onto the second vine, he felt something unnervingly slippery, like an eel.
The next second, a massive snake head lunged forward, biting his arm.
A dark green venom injected into his body.
Without hesitation, Feng Qi switched to Combat Form and sliced the snake's head off with a single hand chop.
As soon as external energy invaded his body, the Purple Soul imprint engraved on his bones automatically activated.
By the time he landed, his heart was already expelling thick dark green toxic mist, forcibly purging the venom from his bloodstream.
Looking up toward the sky, he closed his eyes and expanded his spiritual perception outward.
Within this sensory field, his surroundings became clear as day.
To his surprise, nearly one-fifth of the hanging vines in the jungle were actually camouflaged snakes.
Not wanting to waste time, he gave up on swinging and continued trekking on foot.
Several hours later
Feng Qi arrived at a fast-flowing stream.
Scattered smooth river stones covered the banks, already stamped into paths by the creatures living in the Domain Field. The vegetation here was noticeably sparser.
Just ahead, at the edge of the stream, two giant white-furred ants were drinking water.
Feng Qi didn't bother avoiding them and walked forward directly.
The white-furred ants immediately raised their heads, emitting deep "gugu" warning calls from their bodies.
Since fate had brought them together...
Moments later, Feng Qi stepped over the mutilated remains of the two ants and continued deeper into the jungle.
He had zero mercy for Domain Creatures.
To him, showing kindness to an enemy was equivalent to betraying his own people.
For all he knew, these Domain Beasts could one day become the executioners that slaughtered human warriors when humanity finally attempted to conquer Black Abyss Domain Field.
Since he had encountered them, the only logical choice was to kill them on sight.
Different species could rarely stand on the same side.
His relationship with Old Mist in the Sacrificial Timeline was merely an exception.
Old Mist had once said something that left a deep impression on him:
"Never show kindness to other species. The best way to show them respect is to wipe them out completely."
That statement had shocked him back then.
But when he thought about it carefully, it made perfect sense.
Why did the various hidden Domain factions embedded in human society ignore the Domain Weak Tribe Alliance?
Aside from using the alliance for their own purposes, the truth was simple—they didn't see them as a threat to their long-term plans.
However, if a new species ever showed true potential, these factions would never hesitate to exterminate it with overwhelming force.
Between species, the only true form of "respect" was genocide.
As Feng Qi ventured deeper, his surroundings began to change.
More and more white-furred trees appeared, and giant white ants could be seen crawling along their branches.
There was no need to activate Blood Source Form to deal with these creatures—his Combat Form was more than enough.
By continuously adjusting his course based on the Narrator's directions, he steadily advanced further.
Eventually, the scenery opened up.
Emerging from the white jungle, he found himself facing a raging waterfall, crashing down into a crystal-clear jungle lake.
To the right of the lake, he spotted a sizable encampment.
Wooden structures stood within the camp, while various animal carcasses hung outside.
This was his destination—the Humanoid Tribe's Base.
However, instead of rushing in, he chose to hide nearby to observe the situation.
If possible, he wanted to wait for the Humanoid Tribe Leader to leave the camp.
That way, he would have a much easier time stealing the Miracle Bracelet.
[But what if the Miracle Bracelet isn't even in the Humanoid Tribe Leader's possession at this point? After all, the current timeline and the Sacrificial Timeline are completely different.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi was momentarily stunned.
He had never actually considered this possibility before, but now that he thought about it, the Narrator's words made perfect sense.
After all, time had the power to change many things.
Something that existed in the future didn't necessarily mean it existed now.
[Relax, I already scanned the area. The Miracle Bracelet is definitely inside the encampment.]
"Then what was that nonsense you said earlier?" Feng Qi shot a glare.
[Nothing really. I just wanted to scare you on purpose.]
Hearing the Narrator's shameless response, Feng Qi couldn't help but mentally flip him off.
But knowing for sure that the Miracle Bracelet was inside the encampment put him at ease.
For now, he chose to stay hidden in the bushes nearby, observing the movements inside the Humanoid Tribe's encampment, patiently waiting for the right time to strike.
During this period, he occasionally saw Humanoid Warriors leaving the camp and heading into the jungle.
Others returned from hunting, carrying prey back to the lake to be skinned and cleaned.
The Humanoid Tribe's warriors all wore clothing made from animal pelts.
Time slowly passed, but the Tribe Leader showed no signs of leaving.
Waiting indefinitely was not an option.
Feng Qi began considering the idea of taking initiative and launching a probing attack.
[A real man strikes first! Hesitation is for cowards.]
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi rose from the bushes and sprinted toward the encampment.
As he ran, blood-colored mist began to swirl around his body, and his form started to expand.
When he was about twenty meters away, he leaped into the air, his body growing past five meters tall, and the dark green flames around him burned even more intensely than before.
The Humanoid Warriors stationed at the perimeter immediately noticed his approach and blew into large conch-like horns.
A deep, eerie "woooooo" echoed across the camp, and in an instant, the encampment erupted into chaos.
Humanoid Warriors poured toward the gate.
Feng Qi's massive body slammed into the entrance, shaking the ground as he charged straight in.
"Narrator, where is it?!"
[One o'clock direction! Kill!]
Feng Qi smashed aside several Humanoid Warriors blocking his path and rushed toward the marked location.
Barreling forward like a wrecking ball, nothing could stop him.
Weapons clashed against his body, but they couldn't even leave a scratch.
Reaching the targeted wooden hut, he slammed into it with full force.
Wood exploded into splinters as he broke through—inside, the Humanoid Tribe Leader was in the middle of an intimate moment.
Without hesitation, Feng Qi lunged straight for his throat.
The Tribe Leader reacted with lightning speed, shoving aside his partner and raising his left arm—the one wearing the Miracle Bracelet.
In an instant, a gigantic spectral humanoid materialized in front of Feng Qi, catching his descending palm.
The moment their hands collided, a terrifying shockwave erupted.
Feng Qi gritted his teeth, his muscles swelling, and with a roar, he sent the spectral figure flying.
With another snarl, he charged again.
The Tribe Leader, sensing danger, instinctively activated the Miracle Bracelet.
The ground trembled—countless thick vines erupted from the earth, wrapping around Feng Qi's body, tightening like boa constrictors attempting to crush him.
But instead of fear, Feng Qi grinned savagely.
The dark green flames engulfing his body spread to the vines, charring them instantly, leaving behind blackened, withered remains.
He tensed his entire body, and with a violent burst of power, the vines snapped apart, scattering in all directions.
The Tribe Leader, now several meters away, stared at him in sheer terror.
Feng Qi lifted a hand, drawing it across his throat in a mock execution gesture.
His dark green flames flickered violently in his eyes.
The ground beneath his feet caved in, forming a deep crater—using the force of the recoil, he shot forward like a burning meteor, heading straight for the Tribe Leader.
At that moment, multiple glowing trajectories appeared in the air in front of him, forming intricate patterns.
The ground rumbled, and more vines burst forth, twisting together like giant serpents, aiming to restrain him.
Feng Qi didn't slow down.
Charging through like an unstoppable force, any vines that touched his flames were instantly incinerated, crumbling into ash.
Seeing this, the Tribe Leader's expression darkened.
He lifted his left arm again, activating the Miracle Bracelet.
The spectral humanoid reappeared, this time wrapping itself around Feng Qi.
At the same time, more vines shot forth, forming an impenetrable green prison around them.
Feng Qi quickly realized one crucial difference—this Tribe Leader was weaker than the one he had fought in the Sacrificial Timeline.
He was nowhere near as strong.
Feeling the constricting vines tightening around him, his heartbeat surged.
The power of his bloodline erupted.
The dark green flames covering his body blazed even hotter, turning into a roaring inferno.
Feng Qi's dark green flames couldn't ignite the Humanoid Spectral Entity, which was purely formed from faith energy, but they found their way through the gaps, setting fire to the vine prison that surrounded him.
The flames rose fiercely, and in an instant, the vine prison began to disintegrate.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader's offensive techniques were completely countered by Feng Qi's Blood Source Form.
The same vines that had claimed the lives of countless human warriors in the Sacrificial Timeline couldn't even pierce his skin now.
Huff!
Feng Qi exhaled, and a blast of dark green fire burst from his mouth, causing his aura to surge once more.
Bit by bit, he forced open the embrace of the Humanoid Spectral Entity.
Turning his head toward the Humanoid Tribe Leader, who now wore an expression of sheer terror, Feng Qi's lips curled into a menacing grin.
In the heat of battle, the rage pent up in his heart was finally being released.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader's expression darkened. He let out a furious roar, and in response, the warriors of the tribe threw a barrage of weapons at Feng Qi.
However, these weapons were too crude—before they could even touch his body, the dark green flames surrounding him had already melted their tips.
Seeing this, the Humanoid Tribe Leader let out another roar.
From deep within the encampment, a giant white tiger leaped forward, covering an incredible distance in just a few strides, arriving swiftly by his side.
[He's trying to escape!] the Narrator shouted.
Just as predicted, the Humanoid Tribe Leader flipped onto the white tiger's back and, without looking back, charged toward the distant jungle.
Feng Qi let out a furious roar, bursting free from the Spectral Entity's grip, and bolted in pursuit.
As he ran, he plowed through the Humanoid Warriors who stood in his way, sending them flying.
Watching the white tiger disappear into the jungle, he accelerated, crushing the ground beneath him with each explosive stride.
His mind was racing.
Unlike the future dream timeline, where domain creatures mindlessly attacked until death, intelligent domain creatures knew how to assess their chances.
If they realized they couldn't win, they would flee without hesitation.
Feng Qi calculated the remaining duration of his Blood Source Form—about eight minutes left.
If he couldn't kill the Humanoid Tribe Leader within that time, he'd have to retreat and wait for another opportunity.
His heart pounded like an engine—the roar of his blood surged through his body.
His speed skyrocketed, and with each leap, he covered over twenty meters.
The white tiger's silhouette grew closer and closer.
Just as he prepared to strike, the Humanoid Tribe Leader suddenly leaped from the tiger's back, raising his left arm.
A Spectral Entity manifested mid-air, catching him, and propelling him away at high speed.
The white tiger, now riderless, slid across the ground, its claws digging into the dirt before it whipped around and lunged at Feng Qi.
Feng Qi's fist tightened, dark green flames raging around it, and he swung it forward just as the white tiger pounced.
Boom!
The white tiger let out a pained howl—its skull caved inward, and its body was flung backward, crashing through several massive trees before finally stopping.
Blood gushed from its forehead, yet despite its wounds, the white tiger roared defiantly and lunged again.
Feng Qi's gaze hardened as he watched the Humanoid Tribe Leader get further away.
He had to act fast.
This time, instead of dodging, he caught the white tiger mid-air, then used its momentum against it, slamming it into the ground.
As the tiger struggled, he lifted his right leg and delivered a brutal stomp to its skull.
Boom!
The white tiger's head split open, and its body twitched once before going still.
Without hesitation, Feng Qi took off again, charging after the Humanoid Tribe Leader.
With the Narrator constantly updating him on the coordinates, he quickly spotted his target again.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader was still hovering, held up by the Spectral Entity, gliding toward the coastline.
At his current rate of blood consumption, Feng Qi knew the Blood Source Form wouldn't last as long as expected.
He had to finish this fight now.
Extending his telekinetic force, he latched onto the Humanoid Tribe Leader, attempting to pull him back.
Though his telekinetic strength wasn't enough to completely restrain him, it slowed him down—buying just enough time.
As the distance closed, Feng Qi let out a battle cry, stomping the ground with explosive force.
The earth beneath him shattered, creating a massive crater as he soared toward the Tribe Leader.
Mid-air, he snatched the Spectral Entity, and with a ferocious punch, he smashed his fist into the Tribe Leader's shoulder.
Crack!
The sound of bones snapping echoed loudly.
The Spectral Entity flickered, its form shifting erratically.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader screamed in agony, nearly falling from the Spectral Entity's grasp.
But he gritted his teeth, stabilizing himself, and commanded the Spectral Entity to shake Feng Qi off.
Victory was within reach—there was no way Feng Qi would let go now.
The Spectral Entity's arms battered him repeatedly, but Feng Qi endured the pain, his grin twisted with bloodlust as he climbed toward the Tribe Leader.
Realizing the danger, the Humanoid Tribe Leader made a desperate move—he kicked off the Spectral Entity, trying to leap away.
The moment his feet left the Spectral Entity, Feng Qi activated his telekinetic force.
For a brief instant, the Humanoid Tribe Leader froze mid-air.
That instant was all Feng Qi needed.
His hand lashed out, and his fingers clamped around the Tribe Leader's throat.
Feng Qi's right arm bulged with veins, his grip tightening gradually.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader struggled violently, his face turning red from suffocation, his expression twisted in pain.
The sound of bones grinding against each other echoed, and his struggles weakened. The Spectral Entity, which had been supporting him, shattered into nothingness.
As they plummeted to the ground, Feng Qi slammed the Humanoid Tribe Leader into the earth with brutal force.
Crack!
The ground caved in, his opponent's body sinking deep into the dirt.
Without hesitation, Feng Qi grabbed the Humanoid Tribe Leader once more and smashed him against a massive tree nearby.
The ancient tree, which would have needed three people to encircle it, snapped in half on impact, toppling to the ground.
The Humanoid Tribe Leader, after enduring this relentless barrage, could no longer move.
Feng Qi stepped forward, his face emotionless.
His next punch was the final judgment.
In the Humanoid Tribe Leader's final moments, fragments of memories flooded Feng Qi's mind.
Within these visions, he saw a stubborn child's rise—from an insignificant outcast within the tribe to a respected leader, all because he had obtained the Miracle Bracelet.
Crack!
With the shattering of bones, the Humanoid Tribe Leader finally ceased all movement.
A dense surge of blood energy emerged from his lifeless body, flowing directly into Feng Qi.
Feng Qi reached down and yanked the Miracle Bracelet from the Humanoid Tribe Leader's left wrist, holding it in his grasp.
He took a moment to scan his surroundings.
Through the gaps in the dense jungle foliage, he spotted the white sand beach ahead.
Somehow, during the chase, he had unknowingly returned to the coastline.
Pushing aside the thick branches, he stepped onto the shore.
His body had been pushed to its limits, exhaustion settling in like a heavy weight.
After catching his breath, the Blood Source Form faded. The blood-colored mist dissipated into the wind, and he reverted back to his Combat Form.
Just then, a powerful hunger overtook him.
Though the Combat Form lacked internal organs aside from his heart, the gnawing emptiness in his body was undeniable.
His body urgently craved energy.
It was the same as every time he returned from the Future Dream, where intense starvation always hit him.
The stronger his body became, the more energy it required to sustain itself.
Feng Qi slipped the Miracle Bracelet onto his right wrist.
After standing in place for a brief moment, he turned his gaze toward the endless blue ocean.
Without hesitation, he took a running leap into the water.
Late into the night, beneath a sky of scattered stars and a bright moon.
A campfire flickered on the beach, its flames casting long shadows.
Now having absorbed the blood energy of sea beasts, Feng Qi had returned to his human form.
He sat by the fire, his gaze fixed expectantly on the roasting sea beast meat over the flames.
[You look like you're about to start drooling. Are you really that hungry?]
Ignoring the Narrator's teasing, he kept his eyes locked on the spit-roasting sea beast, occasionally turning it over with a wooden stick.
The sizzling sound of fat dripping onto the flames filled the air, releasing a rich, mouth-watering aroma.
The sea beast's body was highly resilient, requiring a long time to fully cook through.
But Feng Qi had no patience left.
Reaching out, he tore off a piece of meat and shoved it into his mouth, paying no mind to the scorching heat.
The unfamiliar texture of the tender flesh widened his eyes in surprise.
"This is amazing!"
He immediately ripped off another strip, stuffing it into his mouth with undisguised satisfaction.
[Damn, that actually looks delicious... I can feel your enjoyment through our connection. Now I want to eat too!]
[Wait a second—hold on—this isn't fair! Why don't I have a physical form?! Does this mean I'm just a laborer who gives everything and gets nothing in return?!]
Feng Qi grinned wickedly.
He casually held out a chunk of meat and taunted, "Here, I saved you a piece. Come on, have a bite."
[You little—are you taunting me?!]
[Alright, that's it. I think it's time to end this experiment... Time to take over your body!]
Feng Qi, still chewing, suddenly froze mid-bite.
His expression stiffened.
The Narrator burst into laughter.
Feng Qi's face darkened instantly.
