The birth of Ji He was planned by the Marriage Department established by Feng Qi.

There were several changes during this period, but under the arrangements of the Marriage Department, we were always able to find a way to push the deviation back on track.

In the previous timeline, Jihe's series of reform policies allowed Star City to achieve stable development for hundreds of years, and also ushered in the years of rapid rise for Star City's development.

His ability to seal chess is very promising.

But he couldn't guarantee that Ji He, who was born this time, would still be as good as the previous timeline. All this required follow-up observation and understanding.

He will allocate resources to focus on cultivating Ji He to see if Ji He on this sacrifice line can shine as well as the previous timeline.

The year after Ji He was born.

Feng Qi took Xiaoyou to an old house in the east district of Star City.

When I opened the yard gate, there were overgrown weeds inside, and it had obviously been neglected for a long time.

Crossing the yard, Feng Qi pushed open the door of the old house, and what appeared in front of him was the living room on the first floor covered with dust and cobwebs.

I saw a figure holding a sword sitting on the gray sofa.

He blends in with the surrounding environment, like a sculpture, almost without the breath of life.

Sitting here is none other than Lu Yue.

At this time, Lu Yue's white hair had lost its luster and was draped on his shoulders like weeds. His body was as thin as firewood, his skin had turned brown, his face was covered with age wrinkles, and the fire of life was like a candle in the wind.

, seems to be extinguished at any time.

It is very difficult to be able to hold on until now.

After practicing the True Solution of the Demonic Sword, Lu Yue broke through the shackles of life several times and completed the transformation of his life.

This extended his life several times.

But as a human being, there is not only one shackle to the potential of blood. Even though Lu Yue has broken through several times, his life is now coming to an end.

Feng Qi had discussed this issue with Lu Yue twenty years ago and asked Lu Yue whether he wanted to carry out mechanized transformation.

Lu Yue rejected his proposal.

For Lu Yue, holding a sword is his complete life. After mechanized transformation, his body can only hold a sword, but can no longer hold a sword. This is not the ending he wants.

Faced with Lu Yue's choice, Feng Qi did not try to stay.

He knew that Lu Yue would never change his choice, and there was a firm philosophy behind his silence.

Twenty years ago, Lu Yue finally chose to retreat again.

In this undisturbed old house, try to challenge yourself again, either to break away from the shackles of life and complete a breakthrough, allowing life to be extended again, or to return to dust and earth to earth, and welcome the end of life here.

As if sensing his appearance, Lu Yue slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

Looking into each other's eyes, Feng Qi found that Lu Yue's eyes had turned deathly gray and there was no emotion in them.

"Brother Qi...is...is it coming?"

Facing the inquiry, Feng Qi shook his head:

"He hasn't appeared yet. I don't know when this timeline will arrive."

"It...maybe the key to me breaking through...the shackles of life. My fire of life...has not been extinguished yet. I will...wait for it to arrive before my life dies."

The one Lu Yue refers to is the Infinite Hell Warrior who appeared earlier in the previous timeline and fought against Zhang Daowen.

Through his belief database, Lu Yue learned that all the warriors of the Infinite Hell have endured endless torture of negative emotions and are evil ghosts crawling out of hell.

Lu Yue, who has cultivated the true solution of the Demonic Sword and wants to continue to make breakthroughs, regards the warriors of Infernal Hell as his sharpening stone.

This is Lu Yue's last hope for a breakthrough.

He longs for a pinnacle battle in which his life is on the line, and he also longs for the extreme pressure brought by an opponent who is also suffering from negative emotions.

This Infernal Hell Warrior, who was supposed to be Zhang Daowen's opponent, has ushered in a new challenger.

However, due to changes in the external situation of this timeline, the Hell Warriors who were supposed to appear at about the same time never appeared again.

The fire of Lu Yue's life has reached the stage where the oil is exhausted and it is difficult to hold on.

At the same time, Feng Qi still has a doubt in his heart. Lu Yue seems to be in a very bad condition now. Can he still use his strength to fight against the evil spirits of the Hell?

That was an opponent that Zhang Daowen in the previous timeline needed to fight with all his strength.

Zhang Daowen once told him that the warriors of the Infinite Hell are like lunatics who are desperate for their lives. Even if they have an advantage in strength, they are still limited in every way, which makes them feel aggrieved.

Although Lu Yue has practiced Jian Ji's Demonic Sword True Solution and mastered the release of the power of negative emotions.

But after all, he is still a mortal body, and challenging such an opponent seems to be no different from dying.

But he respects Lu Yue's choice.

At this time, Lu Yue closed his eyes again, and the life fluctuations in his body weakened. At this time, Feng Qi turned around and left with Xiaoyou.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Taihang jumping from a distance, with a piece of meat stolen from nowhere tied to a rope around his neck, with a proud expression.

Seeing Feng Qi, Taihang subconsciously took a step back, and then the fear in his eyes quickly dissipated:

"Boss."

"That's great!"

Xiaoyou stepped forward excitedly, hugged Taihang's neck and began to rub it vigorously.

"Xiaoyou, long time no see."

"Well, well, it's been a long time...it's been a long time."

Feeling something was wrong, Taihang lowered his head and saw that Xiaoyou was secretly eating the meat hanging from his neck. A helpless expression suddenly appeared on his face:

"Xiaoyou, you still haven't gotten rid of your gluttony."

Taihang did not stop Xiaoyou from eating, and allowed her to chew on his own meat.

Feng Qi also nodded and greeted Taihang at this time.

Since it was brought back to Taihang, it has been by Lu Yue's side, helping Lu Yue try to control his negative emotions.

By now Taihang has become a partner with Lu Yue.

After asking about Lu Yue's situation in Taihang, Feng Qi learned that Lu Yue's lifespan has been significantly improved after several breakthroughs. At the same time, the control of negative emotions has made Lu Yue's combat power soar, but Lu Yue has always lacked an equal opponent.

The whetstone.

He longs for an opponent who can give him a hearty fight.

Taihang once said that Zhang Daowen might be his opponent, but Lu Yue rejected the proposal.

Lu Yue said that he could not perfectly control the power of his negative emotions and could not release them arbitrarily when fighting Zhang Daowen. Zhang Daowen would also be unwilling to fight with all his strength because of his identity as a different race. Such a battle would not bring him any improvement at all. What he needs is

An enemy who is willing to risk his life in battle.

At the same time, Taihang also said that Lu Yue may not be as strong as Zhang Daowen now, but Lu Yue at full strength is also very terrifying.

As long as the power of negative emotions hits the opponent, even the strongest opponent cannot escape the torture of the power of negative emotions.

During the exchange, Feng Qi had a certain understanding of Lu Yue's current strength.

But this way of becoming stronger has also cost Lu Yue. His emotions are gradually disappearing, and his desire for negative emotions is increasing.

Even if he can break through himself and regain the continuation of his life, he can easily lose himself in the pursuit of the power of negative emotions and become a demon controlled by negative emotions.

This is exactly what Feng Qi is worried about.

The nightmare bell that Taihang carries with him can help Lu Yue for a while, but as long as Lu Yue's strength continues to grow, there will eventually come a day when he can no longer suppress him.

When that day comes, he only has two choices.

Exile Lu Yue, use space technology to send Lu Yue to an outside world far away from the human race, and let him grow freely.

Or kill Lu Yue and end his life.

Feng Qi did not think deeply about this issue. Whether Lu Yue can break through the shackles of life is still unknown. What will happen in the future is still too far away.

But he hopes that Lu Yue can break through the shackles of life and successfully control his negative emotions one day in the future.

Even though this may be very small.

…

Time comes three years later.

To the northwest of Star City, a gray stream of light passed through several fields at an extremely fast speed.

When this figure approached the Split Heaven Realm field, it suddenly stopped moving.

At this moment, he felt the terrifying aura coming from this domain, making his consciousness tremble involuntarily.

Confirming that he was no match at all, this figure chose to give up after a brief hesitation.

While passing through the field at his feet, the figure waved his hand fiercely, and the death energy turned into huge claws and slapped downwards, and a large amount of life turned into blood mist under his attack.

Opening its mouth and sucking it in, blood mist suddenly rushed towards its mouth.

After absorbing the energy and blood, the gray figure passed directly through the barrier of this domain and flew towards Star City.
