Chapter 298
The Butterfly Effect: The Timeline Completes its Closure
"A complete makeover?"
Upon hearing this absurd request, Da Kui was stunned for a moment, and asked with a blank expression, "Senior, why is that?"
"You don't need to know the reason. You only need to know that if you want to continue living, you must abide by the rule that you must never have any connection with the Ye family for the rest of your life and keep a low profile. Otherwise, you will surely die."
Lin Mu said coldly.
He had to do this to ensure that the past timeline was not affected.
As long as this Soul Saint keeps a low profile as he requested, it shouldn't affect the timeline.
Upon hearing this, Da Kui's expression changed. He hadn't expected this senior to be so resolute, and he couldn't understand the reason behind it.
But in any case, this senior was his savior. If it weren't for this senior's help, he would have been devoured by the Scorpion-Tailed Demon Tiger long ago.
Moreover, this senior was practically a god; if he wanted to live, he had to agree to this condition.
After a moment, Da Kui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Since it is your order, senior, I will naturally obey. Please give me some time. I will leave after I ensure the safety of the family head and the others."
"No, you must leave immediately."
Lin Mu shook his head slightly, leaving no room for argument: "You have no choice. You either die here or leave immediately. As for the safety of others, you don't need to worry about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu released a wisp of aura, as if he would end this person's life in the next second.
Although it was only a trace of its aura, it felt like a mountain pressing down on Da Kui, who was at the Soul Saint level, leaving him with no ability to resist.
Only then did Da Kui realize the seriousness of the situation.
He had no chance to bargain. The reason he was spared was probably just because this senior suddenly had a kind thought.
If he continues to argue and cause trouble, this senior might very well kill him.
Having faced reality, Da Kui had no choice but to change his mind and promised, "Senior, from today onwards, I will change my name and live in a remote city."
"Changing the name alone is not enough; we also need to change our appearance."
As he spoke, Lin Mu raised his hand and pressed it against Da Kui's face. After some adjustments, his facial features changed, making it impossible to tell that he was the same person as before.
Having witnessed such amazing abilities, Da Kui was deeply shocked.
Previously, he simply thought this senior possessed extraordinary abilities, but after this incident, he has changed his mind.
Even if this senior is not a legendary deity, he must possess god-level strength.
"Alright, you can leave now," Lin Mu said calmly.
In addition to his appearance, he also modified the person's voice. If it weren't for the difficulty in modifying the martial soul, he would have even considered modifying the martial soul and soul skills as well.
However, doing this much is enough.
"I will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will never disobey your instructions in the future."
After speaking, Da Kui bowed again, then turned and left, heading in the opposite direction from Ye Miaoyun and the others.
Having repaid the Ye family's kindness and gained his freedom in return, overall it's not bad.
As for the kindness of this senior, he probably can never repay it.
After all, he was just an ordinary Soul Saint, while this senior was a powerful deity. How could he possibly need his help?
Meanwhile, Ye Miaoyun, along with her daughter and guards, had already fled several kilometers away.
Unfortunately, they encountered another ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Among their group were a Soul Emperor and three Soul Kings. They fought desperately and severely injured the beast, forcing it to retreat. As a result, one of the Soul Emperors was seriously injured and is currently receiving treatment from Ye Miaoyun.
Just then, the only uninjured Fire Leopard Soul Master suddenly made a move, first backstabbing the Soul Emperor who was receiving treatment, and then taking down a Soul King.
Fortunately, another Soul King guard reacted quickly and blocked the Fire Leopard Soul Master's sneak attack in time.
However, this Soul King was heavily injured and was no match for the Fire Leopard Soul Master. He could only shout at Ye Miaoyun:
"Master, this person has ulterior motives. Please take the young lady away from here immediately."
"None of you will escape, hehehehe—"
The Fire Leopard Soul Master used two Soul Skills in succession, directly pouncing towards the Soul King's guards.
Because the Fire Leopard Soul Master was almost unharmed in the battle against the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and didn't even consume much soul power, he held an absolute advantage.
Seeing this, Ye Miaoyun could only flee in one direction.
She never expected that helping her daughter hunt for a soul ring would lead to so much misfortune, not only causing the only Soul Saint Guardian to die without her knowing, but also putting her and her daughter's lives in danger.
With the Soul King's guards delaying them, the two quickly escaped several hundred meters.
A moment later, Ye Miaoyun suddenly stopped and heard a man's voice compressed with soul power.
"Run to the right, there are people there who can save you."
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Miaoyun hesitated for a moment, then decisively ran to the right.
Clearly, this telepathic message originated from Lin Mu.
From this perspective, if he hadn't intervened, Ye Miaoyun and Ye Lingling would most likely never have seen him. They might have been rescued by someone else, or an accident might have occurred due to the butterfly effect.
Later, Lin Mu concealed his aura and watched his past self from over ten years ago as he defeated the Fire Leopard Soul Master despite being of a higher level.
It has to be said that he was indeed young and handsome at that time!
Now, he wields two ultimate armors, the Asura Armor and the Thunder Yatalis, and his strength has reached the god level. However, the armor he uses most often is the Flame Nava.
After all, Nava was his first set of armor, and it was irreplaceable in his heart.
It would be great if Nawa could be upgraded like the Xingtian Armor, but unfortunately the Elemental Armor doesn't have this function; it can only upgrade the weapon.
After dealing with the matter, Lin Mu opened his flip phone again and returned to the normal timeline.
Although he spent a lot of time, only a few seconds had actually passed.
At the same time, the sea witch only felt a blur before her eyes, and then saw Lin Mu, who had disappeared, reappear in front of her. She asked in astonishment, "Where did you go?"
"Where I go is none of your business," Lin Mu said rather coldly.
Upon hearing this, the sea witch puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. In the blink of an eye, this guy had become so indifferent.
However, Lin Mu didn't care about her thoughts and said indifferently, "You should think about your own affairs, whether you want to go back to the mermaid clan or stay here."
"Can't I come with you?"
"You wish! Who wants a burden like you?"
As he spoke, Lin Mu glanced at the sea witch. Apart from her good looks, she didn't have any other advantages.
Especially the issues between races, such as not knowing where the gap in the mermaid population is. (End of Chapter)
