I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 496: Future Plan (2)

However, he felt that this method was inappropriate.

In history, there were many people who were worshipped as gods after death. The most famous one was Guan Yu, who was worshipped as the God of Wealth.

However, they did not receive such treatment when they were alive.

As if reading his mind, the owner of the fog said.

“People in this era admire heroes the most. It only requires a process to elevate them as heroes and gradually deify them.”

“Don’t forget that your persona has been established a long time ago. You were once known as the rising star of cultivation when you were in Star City Academy. It’s completely reasonable for you to launch Flesh Sacrifice with the excuse of focusing on research.”

“What you lack now is an opportunity. While it’s true that no one could be worshipped as a god when alive in the past, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future… When the time comes, I’ll use Lin Ran’s influence to assist you. By consistently broadcasting highly positive evaluations of Flesh Sacrifice to the public, its promotion will happen swiftly…”

In the end, Feng Qi finally understood the owner of the fog’s plan.

This plan could be called the “God Creation Plan.”

Flesh Sacrifice had two uses this time.

The use of the dark timeline is similar to the previous timeline.

It was mainly to sow seeds for human civilization and the weaker domain races, making them potential “sacrifices”. The owner of the fog would activate the switch in the future to complete the harvest.

However, Flesh Sacrifice had another use in this timeline.

It could bewitch all of humanity.

It used this strategy to establish a “God setting” for itself, and then harnessed the faith of all humans to rapidly enhance its strength.

From the spiritual level to the physical level, it was evident that the owner of the fog intended to seize everything this time.

It treated all of humanity like pawns.

It could also be called a stepping stone on the path of growth.

Feng Qi couldn’t reject the plan mentioned by the owner of the fog, nor did he have any reason to reject it.

Thinking of this, he looked at the owner of the fog and said.

“I roughly understand your thoughts. You can start trying when you decide to promote Flesh Sacrifice.”

The owner of the fog nodded and looked at him curiously.

“You’ve been in human society for so many years. Can you explain why humans believe in gods?”

“I’ve always been puzzled. Why would humans believe in the so-called gods? Even if they do exist, they’ve never given positive feedback. What’s the meaning of faith?”

Faced with this question, Feng Qi could not help but fall silent.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the owner of the fog and said.

“Does your race worship a god?”

“No, we only believe in power to change fate.”

He wasn’t surprised by the owner of the fog’s answer. Then, he continued to ask.

“Do you believe in fate?”

“I don’t believe in it. In my view, fate is an excuse for the weak. Only losers attribute their failures to fate. The irony is that these weak individuals, who believe in fate, still consider the success of the strong as fate.”

Feng Qi agreed with the owner of the fog’s words.

However, he did not completely agree.

After experiencing so many timelines, he understood that fate really existed.

A history that was destined to unfold would manifest.

And he was a unique existence.

He was like a butterfly that shuttled through the long river of history. He flapped his wings and kept changing everyone’s fate.

Hence, he had faith in fate, yet he also harbored disbelief in it.

He believed that fate existed, but he did not believe that it was predestined and could not be changed.

His hard work in multiple timelines was to change his fate.

“Do you think humans’ belief in gods is connected to fate?” the owner of the fog asked curiously.

“Yes, those believers all believe in fate. They all believe that the gods can change their fate and guide them toward a better path. Many of them even believe in the judgment of fate after death.”

“How foolish.”

“I hold a high opinion of the human race. They possess the mindset of the strong. Their only shortcoming is that they have been exposed to Spiritual Qi for a relatively brief period. Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that if this race can progress steadily, they will have immense growth potential. However, in my view, many of their actions should have been eradicated long ago.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but guess.

“You believe faith is useless because it can’t bring practical meaning to humans. However, in reality, even though these believers may not receive tangible feedback from the gods, they derive strength from the depths of their hearts.”

“Especially when a person is in a desperate situation, faith can sometimes enable them to unleash unimaginable potential.”

“In addition, faith brings many positive meanings.”

Looking at the puzzled owner of the fog, he pondered for a moment and said.

“Let me share a case with you. There was a significant incident at the seaside of the Former Days City in the past. A group of fishermen, driven by greed, concealed all the supplies transported by a specific combat team at the bottom of the sea. During that period, the combat team responsible for escorting them was at the brink of mission failure and even faced the prospect of compensation.”

“In the face of this group of fishermen’s denial, they can’t do anything. After all, the first rule of the combat team is not to attack civilians, and the fishermen don’t admit that they hid supplies at all.”

“In the end, the leader of the combat team who was in charge of escorting the supplies brought this group of fishermen to the Dragon King’s temple by the sea and made them swear to the Dragon King’s statue that they did not hide the supplies.”

“The fishermen, who originally refused to admit it, finally hesitated in the face of the god they believed in. In the end, they chose to confess what they had done. This is a manifestation of faith. It has a positive effect on the stability of the race.”

After hearing Feng Qi’s explanation, the owner of the fog fell into deep thought.

Seeing the confusion on the owner of the fog’s face, Feng Qi shook his head.

He knew the owner of the fog needed time to digest and understand his explanation.

The owner of the fog had changed many human bodies along the way and read many human memories.

However, the reading was like watching a movie.

There was no sense of substitution.

The owner of the fog could understand many human habits through reading memories, but it could not understand the essence.

Such as, faith.

The owner of the fog resided in a realm where the strong dominated the weak. It held the belief that might justified reason, and it didn’t seek the protection of mythical gods for its race.

Humans lived in an era of peace and sought spiritual transcendence.

However, after the invasion of the domain, humans’ faith in God diminished.

In the harsh environment, more humans shifted to believe in human heroes. Transitioning from ethereal worship of a god, they started to pursue tangible presence, as described by the owner of the fog.

The reason was simply that the environment was different, leading to a different perspective on problem-solving.

After further discussion, the topic of constructing a statue was temporarily set aside.

At this moment, Feng Qi looked at the owner of the fog and asked.

“When do you plan to start promoting Flesh Sacrifice?”

“This can’t be rushed. I need to lay some groundwork for you first. Tomorrow, I’ll move you to the cultivation technique research team. After that, I’ll enlist the cooperation of the cultivation technique researchers controlled by the Night Shadow Race to assist you in your research. Simultaneously, I’ll disseminate pertinent information to the public to generate anticipation… In essence, I’ll release a news article stating that you are gearing up for a significant undertaking.”

“Subsequently, we’ll provide real-time updates on the news, sparking curiosity in the outside world about your research. Throughout this period, I’ll assist in promoting it under Lin Ran’s name. Once the anticipation phase is complete, we can capitalize on the momentum to introduce Flesh Sacrifice. During that period, we can expect a considerable number of cultivators to join the trend.”

At this point, the owner of the fog paused and continued.

“As for the impact of Flesh Sacrifice, there’s no cultivation technique in human cultivation that can rival it. In the words of Xiao Liu from the steelworks factory, no one stands a chance against it.”

Looking at the owner of the fog who was brimming with confidence, Feng Qi nodded and continued to ask.

“By the way, what are your plans for the Science and Technology Research Institute?”

Faced with the question, the owner of the fog immediately said.

“I’ve considered this issue. The Science and Technology Research Institute may not be directly affiliated with us, but it will undoubtedly become one of our competitors in the future. We must swiftly uncover the nature of their Black Death Project.”

“So, what are you going to do?”

“I plan to nurture a few spies with research potential. Then, I’ll think of a way to infiltrate the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute to understand the secrets.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi realized that the timeline was back on track.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

According to the normal timeline, among the spies nurtured by the owner of the fog, one of them would successfully enter the core circle of technology.

Most importantly, that individual had infiltrated the first echelon of the core circle.

He had even come into contact with the core secret.

If not for the fact that he wanted to divert the firepower of the Science and Technology Research Institute, that spy might not have revealed his identity even until his death..
