Ch 227: A Dialogue with Oneself
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
Li Ziming almost did a mid-air dance and fell; he used all his strength to attract the attention of the God of Faith.
Ji Chuan anxiously waited for the results in the room, but currently, he had no means of sensing distant lifeforms, and didn’t know if Li Ziming had succeeded.
This time node is important. Although a large amount of loyalty was collected in Jianghua City before, Xiao Shuai wasn’t ordered to execute those who hadn’t offered their loyalty.
Those who hadn’t offered their loyalty simply continued their lives as before, coping with the zombies attacking them with their own abilities; it wasn’t much of a loss.
But this time in Xinze City, Ji Chuan ordered Xiao Shuai to carry out a massacre. No one could escape alive from Xiao Shuai’s hands; their unwilling deaths should produce a large amount of Black Qi.
Is this why I time-traveled?
Ji Chuan anxiously watched Li Ziming’s eyes roll back, feeling every second drag on. If they missed this gate, it would truly be missed; he could only pray to travel back to an earlier time to change the corresponding outcome.
“Ugh!”
Li Ziming took a deep breath, his eyes returning to normal. He immediately checked his pants; thankfully, they hadn’t been removed.
“He’s here! He’s here!”
As soon as Li Ziming finished speaking, the sound of mecha propulsion and flight airflow was heard from the balcony.
This world’s Ji Chuan landed on the balcony; his expression under the mecha couldn’t be seen clearly.
Ji Chuan, very excited, ran out of the bedroom, “Ji Chuan, listen to me, this information is very important. I’m you from the future. Your father, Ji Mingzhou, your mother, Shu Ning, your childhood friend, Song Huai…”
Before he could finish speaking, the mecha on the God of Faith disappeared, and Ji Chuan met his own crimson eyes. He then knew how much pressure his opponent felt when facing him.
He grabbed the Security Guard by the neck, lifting him up and coldly saying, “Who’s behind you? Who’s investigating me?”
This world’s Ji Chuan didn’t believe that a person with only basic Strength Ability could find out about his own origins; his exposure must be due to an organization behind it.
“Taipu Technology…intersection…”
Ji Chuan struggled to control his icy arm, barely managing to utter a few words.
The other party’s eyes clearly showed confusion; how could he know what happened on the day his parents were in a car accident? Even if they investigated his background, they shouldn’t have such detailed information.
His hand loosened. “Cough cough cough…” Ji Chuan’s back felt cold; he almost died again at his own hands.
“I know this is unbelievable, but my time is very limited; I may return to my own time at any moment.”
“To prove that what I’m saying is true, after I finish speaking, you can use Mind Control on me to ensure I haven’t lied to you.”
“Don’t kill innocent people. Killing innocent people will produce a large amount of despairing Black Qi. In the future, a Gate of Unusual Activity will appear in Shannan City, and a God of Death from another world will slaughter everything in this world.”
“Based on my deductions, the God of Death is likely due to past indiscriminate killing. The members of the Stronghold will also be killed when you fall into a coma after slaughtering three cities, so you must remember my words. Now you can use Mind Control on me!”
The Ji Chuan before him was shocked; the other party seemed to even know his methods. Was he really himself from the future?
Ji Chuan knew the most direct way to dispel his doubts was to be completely controlled by the other party, although he might not be able to say what he wanted to say after being controlled.
But it was good enough that the two most important pieces of information were conveyed.
This world’s Ji Chuan’s eyes lit up, and the Security Guard’s expression became calm.
“You’re me from the future?”
“That’s right.”
Ji Chuan’s pupils quaked; he never imagined that such a thing would happen.
“How did you time travel back?”
Did his future self master the ability to time travel? If such an ability existed, he must obtain it; it would play a crucial role.
“By using the God of Faith’s ability, collecting sincere Faith Power, it will open the Vortex Gate that transcends time and space.”
So the God of Faith’s progress had this use; it was indeed a powerful ability. But what was sincere Faith Power? Wasn’t the kind he collected considered sincere? His progress had advanced, hadn’t it?
“What is sincere Faith Power?”
“Based on the information I’ve gathered so far, sincere Faith Power is making the other party truly believe in you, not through coercive means.”
In the chaos, Ji Chuan felt the world flickering. He knew the time for this gate was running out. Would he listen to his own words?
“What is the God of Death? Who killed the Stronghold members?!”
Ji Chuan cared deeply about this. He had just said that the Stronghold members would all be killed when he fell into a coma, right?
“Master, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Ji Chuan’s eyes widened. How could this be? Wasn’t this what he had just said himself?
“Who are you?!”
“I’m Wu Xiaoqian, a Jinlu Tai Security Guard.”
“Aren’t you me from the future?”
“Master, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Ji Chuan tried to think; under Mind Control, the other party couldn’t be lying. This meant that the “future self” had already gone back? Was Wu Xiaoqian the original owner of this body?
A God of Death he couldn’t defeat would appear in the future? Because of his indiscriminate killing?
The Stronghold members would all die?
Ji Chuan couldn’t imagine a world where those familiar people were gone. He would do everything in his power to prevent this from happening. Was his future self here to do this?
His gaze turned to Li Ziming, who looked terrified.
“Who are you? What did he tell you? Why did you lead me here?”
Li Ziming stood up woodenly and explained everything.
Ji Chuan fell into deep thought. Should his present self believe his future self? Was his future self’s judgment necessarily correct?
…
Ji Chuan shouted “Oops!” in the air, then looked regretful. The Birdman Chieftain asked with some concern, “What’s wrong, God of Faith? The Birdfolk Race is willing to share your worries, Lord God of Faith!”
Ji Chuan suddenly remembered that he hadn’t warned himself not to synthesize the 【God of Death】 Crystal Core. If he didn’t synthesize the 【God of Death】, he should only have one Overlord Godhood.
But his brow furrowed again. If he didn’t synthesize the God of Death, some opponents would become very troublesome. Could he win then?
These few trips through the Vortex Gate had made him think a lot, feeling like his head was about to explode. Thankfully, Xiao Hei had improved his mental resistance; otherwise, Ji Chuan would have doubted which world he was in, his thinking becoming muddled.
He needed more opportunities to verify all his guesses. The mysteries of the two worlds were a bit much for him to handle.
“Nothing. You said before that there are a large number of Undead in the Northern Frigid Lands, right?”
“Yes, Lord. Our people have observed that a large number of Undead are gathered there; no race dares to approach.”
Ji Chuan nodded. “I’ll go investigate. You can contact me if anything happens.”
He set the Birdman Chieftain as his Telepathy contact, then disappeared into the air.
He should thoroughly investigate the Undead of this world.
