Chapter 594: Devoted to Ideals, Fearless of Death (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After filtering out the missions that had been completed, he looked at the missions that the members of the Night Shadow Race were executing on the tablet.

After memorizing the contents in detail, he walked out of the Night Shadow Race’s leader’s room.

When he arrived at Lin Ran’s place, Feng Qi looked at the terrified crowd standing by the wall.

These people were not domain creatures, but researchers and staff members of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Most of them were controlled by the Night Shadow Race’s mental control.

After all the members of the Night Shadow Race died in battle, the mental control that was connected to them was interrupted. At this moment, their eyes had already regained clarity.

But there were exceptions.

One of them was a human traitor like Director Liu who was willing to submit to the Night Shadow Race.

If Feng Qi didn’t have the information from the previous timeline, he would be helpless in this situation. He wouldn’t even be able to tell who the human traitor was.

Fortunately, there was a list of humans under the Night Shadow Race’s mental control and enslavement.

In the previous sacrifice timeline, when he was managing the Tiger Soul Research Institute for Fog, he had asked Night-2 for this list.

Perhaps Night-2 didn’t understand why he wanted this list.

But to Feng Qi, this list was very important.

Even though his other self in the timeline couldn’t use it at the moment, he was aware that there would be a future occasion when it would prove beneficial.

Every time he sacrificed himself, he would never consider the problem from the perspective of “me”. Instead, he would consider it from the perspective of the other timelines and the main timeline.

The list of traitors was useful at this moment.

Looking at the crowd standing by the wall, who seemed to be at a loss, he slowly said.

“Next, I’ll call out names. When I call your name, come up to me!”

“Yu Yuanzheng!”

Standing on the left side of the crowd, a man about 6 feet tall trembled. Nevertheless, he obediently took a few steps forward and stood in front of him.

“Bao Gan, Jiang Wenxuan, Ji Shihuai…”

After reading out more than 10 names in a row, the people whose names were called stood in front of him nervously.

“Follow me.” With that, Feng Qi turned around and walked towards the nearest room.

The dozen or so people looked at each other, but still followed Feng Qi into the room.

After everyone entered the room, Feng Qi, who was standing in the room, waved his hand and closed the door with psychokinesis.

Looking at the dozen or so human traitors standing in front of him, Feng Qi had already thought of how to deal with them.

However, before he attacked them, he swept his gaze across everyone present and asked softly.

“Do you regret betraying humanity?”

“We just want to live. Without the Night Shadow Race, we can still rely on you. We know everything about the Tiger Soul Research Institute and can use knowledge to create value for you.”

Someone immediately replied anxiously, trying to show their value.

“Unfortunately, I’m on the side of humans.”

Hearing this question, everyone suddenly realized what Feng Qi meant by this question. Their faces turned pale.

They thought that Feng Qi was another domain faction that wanted to occupy the Tiger Soul Research Institute. The conflict with the Night Shadow Race was also for benefit.

Now that the Night Shadow Race had been destroyed, they could still rely on their new master to continue living.

However, when they heard Feng Qi say that he was on the side of humans, they suddenly understood what they were about to face.

Their consequence was apparent.

“Is it wrong for us to want to live?” At this moment, an old man with graying temples and wearing an old-fashioned Tiger Soul Research Institute uniform asked with trembling lips.

Looking at the old man’s eyes which were filled with the desire to live, Feng Qi swept his gaze across everyone present.

It could be seen that they were all thinking the same thing as the old man.

At this moment, he said.

“The fact that you could join the Tiger Soul Research Institute indicates your past excellence. Society invested significant resources in nurturing you. My teacher once said that choosing to study is choosing to become the torchbearer of human civilization, illuminating the future path of humanity. It’s not about extinguishing others’ candles to thrive after achieving success.”

“You’re asking me if there’s anything wrong with wanting to live? When you chose to betray humanity, did you ever consider that the privileges you enjoyed during your studies were denied to ordinary people?”

“I invested resources in you because I hoped that elites like you could lead humanity to ascend, not to let you survive in the face of righteousness. If you wanted to live, why didn’t you choose to be an ordinary person from the start? That way, you wouldn’t have to confront the choice of submission or death.” “The human race is on the brink of collapse. As a pillar of the human race, not only do you lack the unwavering determination to reverse the situation but you also talk to me about survival. Screw you!”

Hearing this, the old man’s expression darkened.

He opened his mouth and struggled to explain.

“I’ve hesitated before, but let me ask you: have you ever faced a life-and-death decision? When confronted with death, would you cower in fear and submit?”

Feng Qi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this.

For some, death may seem distant, but for each individual, it’s a one-time journey.

As for him, he had experienced countless deaths.

For ideals to humble, for ideals to endure, for ideals to strive… for ideals to persist across various timelines.

Every time he died, he didn’t fear death.

The flame of hope in his heart was reborn after being extinguished time and time again.

So, what was there to be afraid of?

“There’s nothing wrong with seeking an extension of life, but we mustn’t forsake the determination embedded in our cultural memories, not to mention losing sight of our humanity. When we look up, we all see the same starry sky..”
