Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The Lord of Fog's closed-door cultivation finally ended.
This morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Feng Qi and the Lord of Fog left the Old Mountain Range and flew towards Star City.
Along the way, he sat on the gray fog cloud and found that the Lord of Fog's movement speed was more than twice as fast as before.
This was obviously related to the increase in strength.
While living in seclusion, the Lord of Fog's strength improved every day with the help of the blood stone.
Apart from that.
After continuous improvements, the Flesh Sacrifice technique had basically been perfected by the Lord of Fog.
Other than elemental special life forms, Flesh Sacrifice was suitable for all life forms with flesh and blood.
During this period of contact, Feng Qi also understood why the Lord of Fog desired to climb to the top.
During the research and development of Flesh Sacrifice, the Lord of Fog once said that as long as he could climb to the top, he did not care how many corpses he stepped on.
Because in the Lord of Fog's understanding, the pyramid was like a pyramid.
The food chain was in the shape of a pyramid. Only those who stood at the top would not be exploited, killed, or enslaved by the strong races of other domains.
If he wanted to lead his race to glory, the only way was to climb to the top.
But this process was bound to be cruel.
There would be a large number of competitors along the way, and killing was inevitable.
At the end of the day, everything was for the future of his race.
Feng Qi could understand his philosophy.
But in the end, there was still a saying. People who walked different paths could not work together.
In terms of race, they were already on opposite sides. Humans would also be an "obstacle" on the Lord of Fog's path to the top.
If he wanted to get rid of this issue, he had to ensure that the Lord of Fog's race would always be safe and not be disturbed by external forces.
But if he did not climb to the top, he would not have the ability to keep his race safe forever.
And in the process of climbing to the top, he would need to plunder a large number of resources to use and accelerate the race's development.
This process could not avoid competition and killing.
The more he interacted with him, the more he felt that the Lord of Fog was special.
He used to think that the Lord of Fog was a bloodthirsty demon and could not communicate with him at all.
But in this sacrificial line, he saw the determination, pain, desire, anger, fear, and other emotions in the Lord of Fog's heart.
If it was not for this issue, he felt that he would have become friends with the Lord of Fog.
But this issue could not be resolved.
If there came a day when the Lord of Fog was no longer of any use to him, he would still make a move on him.
The Lord of the Mist was willing to do anything to revive his people, and he was willing to do the same for the future of the human race.
Even if they were once "brothers".
…
After several days of traveling, they had crossed several domains along the way.
Feng Qi and the Lord of Mist finally arrived at the north gate of Star City.
Before they even got close to Star City, they had already landed near the main road.
Looking along the main road leading to the Star City, one could see the towering city gate. The steel casted city walls extended from the city gate to both sides for more than a few miles.
At this moment, Feng Qi and the Lord of Fog were in a very sorry state.
After living in seclusion for so many years, their clothes were tattered, making them look like refugees.
Following the main road, they walked towards the North Gate of Star City.
On the main road leading to Star City, there was an endless stream of vehicles going back and forth. Most of them were military vehicles transporting supplies. There were no passers-by like them.
20 minutes later, they arrived at the gate of Star City.
He followed the flow of vehicles into the city gate. Along the way, green lights constantly swept over his body.
When they walked out of the tunnel, they found that there was already a staff member waiting for them.
The staff member was a woman. She was wearing the uniform of the Star City Garrison Army, but there was no military rank on her. It was basically certain that she was an intern or a contract worker.
At this moment, she was holding three bags of food in her hands. She looked at them with a complicated expression.
As they approached, the woman said apologetically, "I'm sorry.
The scavenger residences in Star City have been filled recently. These are three bags of food. Please go back. "
As she spoke, the woman handed the three bags of food to Feng Qi.
Feng Qi was speechless.
"You've misunderstood. I'm a resident of Star City. My ID number is 11736 …"
"A resident of Star City?"
The woman was stunned. She then put down the bags of food and pressed a button on her right wrist.
The screen on the metal wrist was instantly activated.
After a series of operations, she entered the verification page.
After entering the ID number provided by Feng Qi, Feng Qi's profile picture taken at Star City University appeared on the screen.
At this moment, the woman raised her head and looked at Feng Qi. After carefully sizing him up, she said,
After careful observation, she said, "I'm really sorry. It's my mistake. But to be on the safe side, you have to follow me for a detailed identity verification to ensure that you're not Domain Creatures."
"Okay!" He nodded without hesitation.
Then, they followed the woman to the verification room. Another staff member came to receive them and used a device to scan their bodies.
Feng Qi was not worried at all.
Although he had undergone the Demonic Dragon Rune Transformation, his body's data had already been recorded in the Star City database by the Scarlet Institute.
As for the Lord of Mist, there was even less of a need to worry.
The Lord of Mist possessed Wang Yi's body. He was only the controller. There was no problem in using Wang Yi's identity to go through the verification.
In less than half an hour, they were allowed to pass through the verification of their identities.
Knowing that he and the Lord of Mist were both recipients of the Outstanding Contribution Award for Humanity, the woman in the city immediately expressed her willingness to send them into the city.
Feng Qi and the Lord of Mist did not refuse.
After the woman spoke to her colleagues, they got into the woman's car and followed the traffic into Star City.
This was Feng Qi's first time entering Star City through the city gate.
Through the car window, he noticed that there was a lookout tower every ten meters along the way. There was a team of fully armed soldiers scanning the traffic back and forth on the lookout tower.
The car drove for more than ten minutes and passed through three checkpoints in the tunnel.
When the car drove out of the last tunnel and passed by a sign that said "Star City North District".
Their vision suddenly widened.
Towering buildings appeared in front of them. Looking into the distance, they could see a cluster of technologically advanced buildings. It was a bustling scene.
Everything in front of Feng Qi felt extremely familiar.
"Where are you going?"
The woman who was driving asked.
"Let's get off in front." Feng Qi pointed at the intersection not far away.
The woman did not ask further and stopped the car at the intersection.
After thanking her, Feng Qi and the Lord of Mist got out of the car.
After the woman drove away, the Lord of Mist curiously looked at the backpack on his back.
"I noticed something strange. You always carry this backpack wherever you go? What's in it? "
"It's an item I left behind before I lost my memory. It might be helpful in finding my clansmen."
Hearing this, the Lord of Mist revealed a look of realization, then he asked, "That's right.
Then, it asked, "You're more familiar with this place. Lead the way and find a place to stay first. Then, we'll discuss the infiltration plan."
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
Then, he led the Lord of Mist to the main street in the north of the city.
They had already discussed the general direction of infiltrating the Tiger Soul Institute before coming here. What they lacked now was the deployment of the details.
They had chosen to expose their identities before entering the city because of this consideration.
Before coming to Star City, they had considered two ways to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Institute.
First, they could directly infiltrate Star City and secretly find an opportunity to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Institute.
If they chose this plan, the beginning was a threshold.
They had never come into contact with the researchers of the Tiger Soul Institute, nor did they know the deployment of the Tiger Soul Institute's forces. If they rashly infiltrated and took over the body, it was very likely that they would not be able to return.
To be safe, they had to hide in the dark for a long time. Then, they would gather detailed information about the Tiger Soul Institute in Star City before they could officially take action.
Second, they could enter Star City with their current identities and find an opportunity to come into contact with the Tiger Soul Institute.
There was no risk in this step.
Although their identities had been exposed, they had not been exposed to humans. Instead, they had been exposed to some of the domain forces.
Their current identities were still useful.
Furthermore, they could abandon their current identities at any time.
Once the Lord of Mist changed into a new body, they would not have to worry about their identities being exposed.
In the Lord of Mist's words:
"The domain creature in their eyes is Wang Yi. What does that have to do with me? Changing bodies is equivalent to starting over. "
This was also one of the reasons why they chose the second plan.
The only problem now was that he could not change bodies at will like the Lord of Mist.
However, this problem was not unsolvable.
With the Lord of Mist's control over flesh and blood, it was not difficult for him to reconstruct a person's facial features.
Once the infiltration plan succeeded, the Lord of Mist would help him complete the transformation of his appearance.
When the time came, the Lord of Mist would have a new parasitic body. He would also be able to change his appearance and start over.
After that, Feng Qi and Wang Yi would disappear.
They would interact with the world with new identities at the Tiger Soul Institute.
As they chatted, they arrived at the commercial street in the north of the city.
After entering a clothing store, they changed their outfits and threw away the tattered clothes on their bodies.
Finally, the Lord of Mist took out his phone and used the virtual bank card he had made when he was working at the steel mill to settle the bill.
After doing all this, they checked into a nearby hotel.
For their next move, they needed to wait for an opportunity to come into contact with the Tiger Soul Institute.
As for how long they would have to wait, Feng Qi was not worried.
Based on the frequency of the Tiger Soul Institute's activities, this opportunity would not appear for long.
…
The second month in Star City.
This afternoon, after lunch.
Feng Qi lay on his bed, turned on his tablet, and began to browse through the latest news.
After browsing for a while, he opened the Tiger Soul Institute's official website as usual.
At this time, a pinned announcement caught his attention.
[Tiger Soul Institute Recruiting: Professional Ability Experimenter]:
Job Requirements: Try to cultivate a newly developed ability. Cooperate with the staff to record your physical condition.
Note: The ability experimenter's ability has passed the data simulation experiment, animal cultivation experiment, and three safety tests. The safety rate has reached 99.99%.

…
Recruitment Note: Those who meet the above requirements can apply before December 3rd. After the application is approved, the examination time will be arranged separately.
Seeing this recruitment announcement, Feng Qi realized that his opportunity had come.
Originally, he and the Lord of Fog wanted to make initial contact through the Tiger Soul Institute's activities.
For example, the cultivation concept competition, etc.
But this time, the Tiger Soul Institute was recruiting ability experimenters. It was obviously easier to get in touch with the internal personnel of the Tiger Soul Institute.
In the afternoon, he filled out the application form.
After doing all this, he began to wait for the Tiger Soul Institute's notice.
Judging from his resume, Feng Qi felt that it would not be difficult for him to become an ability experimenter.
After all, his Mankind Outstanding Merit Medal was obtained by "developing an ability".
He could also fulfill all the other requirements.
The only problem was that the Lord of Fog obviously could not come into contact with the Tiger Soul Institute by applying to become an ability experimenter.
After all, his current identity to the outside world was "Wang Yi" of the Death Star's third battle group.
If he suddenly applied to join the Tiger Soul Institute as an ability researcher, it would definitely arouse the suspicions of the Tiger Soul Institute.
More importantly, "Wang Yi's" age did not meet the Tiger Soul Institute's recruitment requirements.
After discussing with the Lord of Fog, he decided that he would be the first to enter the Tiger Soul Institute to investigate the situation.
…
The next morning.
Feng Qi received a call from the Tiger Soul Institute.
The staff on the other end of the phone told him that he could head to the Tiger Soul Institute to join at any time.
Feng Qi was not surprised to receive this call.
No matter what the outside world said about him, it could not hide the fact that he had once been successful in cultivation.
Many years ago, he was even praised as a historical genius who could bring about a revolution in cultivation.
With his resume, it would not be a problem for him to directly join the Tiger Soul Institute and become an ability researcher.
Moreover, he was only applying for the position of ability experimenter.
In the words of the Lord of Fog, this was called a dimensionality reduction.
He also said that the content was very similar to a novel he had read when he was a leek in a steel mill. The name of the novel was:
"The Celestial World's Supreme Returned as a Security Guard in the City of the Celestial World."
It was more or less the same meaning — using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
After receiving Tiger Soul's feedback, Feng Qi and the Lord of Fog discussed the follow-up arrangements for the infiltration plan.
In the end, they decided that he would enter the Tiger Soul Institute first.
The Lord of Fog would continue to wait for the Tiger Soul Institute to hold an event before contacting and communicating with him.
At noon that day, Feng Qi packed his luggage and set off.
He followed the address provided by the staff and arrived at the entrance of a branch of the Tiger Soul Institute located in the northern suburbs of the city.
When he got out of the car, the staff he had contacted in advance was already waiting there.
After greeting them, he followed the staff through the security gate and walked into the Tiger Soul branch.
He walked along the technologically lit walkway for more than a hundred meters. Along the way, he passed by several large computing machines and came to a door.
"Go in."
When he heard this, Feng Qi did not hesitate and immediately pushed the door open and entered.
The furnishings in the room were simple. The wall was filled with human acupoint diagrams, and the desk was filled with documents.
Looking at the figure sitting at the desk with his head lowered and writing, Feng Qi suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.
At this moment, the figure looked up.
Their eyes met, and a familiar smile appeared in his eyes.
"Brother Qi, long time no see."
