Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Modification Points: 120,041 (16%)

Hu Qi’s gaze quickly swept across the panel.

He remembered that during his previous possessions for cultivation, things like his Talent, Divine Techniques, and Bloodline were all clearly recorded on the panel.

However, the data for his Talent, Divine Techniques, and Bloodline had now all vanished from the panel, replaced by Bai Kong’s own attributes.

With his speed of thought, Hu Qi understood the reason for this instantly.

The previous possessions, while not done with his main body, were carried out using an essence separated via the Spirit Seed Technique, which maintained a close link to his true self.

But now, he had possessed this body with merely a wisp of his consciousness—not even enough to be considered a Split Soul. Naturally, he couldn’t inherit his true self’s Talent and Bloodline.

The only thing that slightly surprised Hu Qi was that even as a mere projection of his consciousness, he could still summon the Crimson Panel.

However, he was already used to the power of the Crimson Panel, so he didn’t pay it much mind.

His gaze continued to scan the panel.

Due to the evolution and perfection of his Pocket World, the Modification Point section could now automatically harvest points.

In just under a month, his Modification Points had grown from the original 110,000 to the current 120,000.

A total increase of more than ten thousand points.

Though it couldn’t compare to harvesting a world by his own hand.

This method had the advantage of being stable and long-lasting, and it came with no side effects from Cause and Effect Karmic Force.

Just then.

A line of text in the Skill section suddenly changed.

The "Solar Eclipse Will Refining Technique," originally displayed as "Great Success," gradually blurred before finally resolving into "Perfection."

According to Bai Kong’s memories, he had spent several hundred years cultivating this unique Willpower Refining Technique of his, yet he remained stuck at the Great Success realm, with Perfection nowhere in sight.

To cultivate a Willpower Refining Technique to Perfection, a Mecha Master’s own efforts were far from enough; it also required extremely high aptitude and comprehension.

Yet, now under the control of this consciousness projection from Hu Qi, the technique had instantly reached the Perfection realm.

Clearly, for a True God like Hu Qi, a Cultivation Technique of this caliber was utterly trivial.

However, he didn’t dwell on this, instead turning his gaze to the Physique section.

Although the Light Bloodline was called a bloodline, its true nature was that of a special physique, so it was normal for it to be classified under the Physique section.

His gaze fell upon it, and Hu Qi did not hesitate.

’Crimson, upgrade my Light Bloodline to one hundred percent!’

The instant he willed it.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

His heart suddenly began to pound, as if it had transformed into a scorching human furnace.

It radiated an astonishing amount of heat.

The advanced nano-protective suit he was wearing instantly disintegrated into black ash.

At the same time.

His skin gradually turned transparent, making him look like an incarnation of pure light.

A moment later.

The light gradually receded. Golden stripes surfaced on Hu Qi’s skin, and his pupils gained a faint, golden luster.

He looked down at the panel and found that the Physique section had changed.

[Physique: Sun Chaser]

...

[Modification Points: 119,291 (16%)]

His Modification Points had decreased by 750, but Hu Qi was completely unconcerned.

He felt the surging power within his body.

Once the Light Bloodline reached one hundred percent.

It would evolve into a Sun Chaser.

Only a Sun Chaser could sense the locations of the other twelve Sunstones.

And only then could they be accepted by the sun, enter its interior, and ignite it.

That Zhao Yao himself possessed a Sun Chaser Bloodline that had yet to fully awaken.

It was far more powerful than an ordinary Light Bloodline.

This was also why he had been granted the Celestial Mandate.

Now, Hu Qi had replicated this step.

By also using the Celestial Destiny Core to interfere with this world’s fate,

it wouldn’t be difficult to usurp his Celestial Mandate.

However, to be on the safe side,

it was best to restore the original sequence of events as much as possible.

For instance, certain important supporting characters in fate’s script were not supposed to die yet.

At this thought,

Hu Qi’s true self looked toward a certain location and slightly raised his palm.

In the distance,

beneath the ruins,

a man covered in blood and on the verge of death appeared before him.

Judging by his clothes, he was clearly a vagrant.

Seeing the terror in the man’s eyes,

Hu Qi smiled.

"Relax. I’m not going to kill you. In fact, I’m going to grant you a great fortune."

As soon as he spoke,

he raised his hand and pointed, and a ray of Twisted Light fell upon the man.

In the blink of an eye,

the vagrant vanished.

In his place stood a white-haired young man.

By his appearance, it was none other than Celestial Magnet, whom he had killed earlier.

Next, he opened his palm.

A Sunstone materialized, and with a gesture of his hand,

a stream of golden energy flowed directly into this "Celestial Magnet."

This was power he had extracted from the Sunstone.

It could probably power a Forbidden Mecha for about three years.

After those three years, if it didn’t receive another infusion of Sunstone energy, it would lose all power and fall dormant.

At that point, the vagrant’s consciousness would reawaken.

The resurrected Celestial Magnet, with an indifferent expression, summoned his previously destroyed Forbidden Mecha and immediately left the area.

To this,

Hu Qi paid no mind and simply repeated the process.

He extracted the power from the other two Sunstones

and infused it into Hong Yu and Wu Dong.

Then,

Hu Qi turned his gaze to Zhao Ying, who stood nearby with a vacant expression.

After a moment’s thought,

he raised his hand, and a streak of Flowing Light entered Zhao Ying’s body.

’I find this Zhao Ying’s personality rather agreeable.’

’I don’t mind giving her a little boon.’

After finishing all this,

he lightly snapped his fingers.

An invisible ripple spread out.

Although he couldn’t reverse this world’s timeline,

he could still modify everyone’s memories.

Once he was finished,

Hu Qi’s true self vanished again, returning to the Copper Cross Medal.

Meanwhile, Bai Kong—still possessed by the consciousness projection—picked up the Copper Cross Medal and placed it in his pocket,

then left the area with the other two.

...

After Hu Qi departed, the previously frozen space resumed its flow, like ice melting away.

Zhao Ying blinked.

In her memory, she had fought against Celestial Magnet and been utterly defeated.

But just at the brink of life and death, he seemed to have urgent business elsewhere and simply left.

At this thought,

she focused inward and tried to call upon her system.

"Ding!"

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in her mind.

"Host has failed to complete the current mission but has acquired the mission reward in advance as an overdraft.

Ten additional missions must be completed to re-enable mission rewards."

Standing there,

Zhao Ying’s expression stiffened.

But when she recalled that the system had granted her the Twentieth Layer of the Ultimate Infinite Qi Skill in advance to save her life,

a small smile graced her lips.

"You, you really refuse to take any losses, don’t you?"

Despite the debt of ten extra missions,

as long as the system was still there, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Strangely, however,

she couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was wrong, as if she had lost something important.

She shook her head, trying to push the strange feeling away.

Her gaze quickly swept her surroundings. The once-bustling C-District was now nothing but a field of ruins.

After confirming that no one was watching,

her figure vanished from the spot like a phantom.

...

Time passed.

「Several days later.」

Iron Rock City.

Lower City F District.

At this moment, a steady drizzle was falling.

The light from distant neon signs, fragmented by the thick mist, cast fractured reflections on the wet asphalt.

A dilapidated sign on one side for "Wang’s Cybernetics Clinic" sizzled and flickered in the damp air.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on the street, all with their heads down, quickening their pace.

Then, unnoticed by anyone,

in an empty lot across the street,

a ripple spread through the air, as if an invisible stone had disturbed the surface of a placid pond.

A translucent bubble materialized from thin air, its surface shimmering with patterns of light that resembled data streams.

The space inside the bubble seemed to be isolated from the outside world, and even the surrounding neon lights were twisted into strange arcs.

Inside the bubble, seven figures gradually became clear.
