: My Sequence

The only people in this world who will genuinely care about you are your parents.

Qiao Yuan had forgotten where he saw this quote, but unfortunately, he had no parents.

But he was lucky; he met the protective Yan Baobao and the always kind-smiling old headmaster, and had a fairly happy childhood.

At the very least, if you're bullied, someone will stand up for you; if you're sick, someone will care about you.

He was still very grateful to Grandma Xu.

Last night he called Yan Baobao and told Hu Tu to run quickly, but he forgot about Grandma Xu because Grandma Xu's home is in Haitang District...

The Starry Welfare Home was originally located in the southern part of Huanxi Prefecture, near Haitang District.

He initially thought only Joyful Island had fallen, never imagining that the mechanical head would eventually reach the shallow sea. Damn it!

On this side of the shallow sea, there are many halls lined up in a row, with a beach behind each hall, divided according to the quality of the area.

Hall 30, located at the far left, was filled with a large number of ambulances and had been turned into a temporary medical station.

He ran over quickly and, based on the real-time location, saw Yan Baobao in a floating ambulance in the distance, and the bed covered in blood...

One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters!

As he drew closer, he gradually saw Granny Xu lying on the bed in a pool of blood. His heart pounded instinctively; her lower body… was gone…

Damn Caesar!

At that time, Grandma Xu tilted her head and smiled at him with the same kind smile she had when he was a child.

In the midnight crowd, the old woman's gaze was like a vibrant, burning candle flame; her silence spoke volumes, and he could feel it.

He knew very well that his mother-in-law was happy to see him so lively and energetic.

My mother-in-law was always like this when she was in the welfare home; she always was.

He was now less than ten meters away when he saw his mother-in-law tremblingly raise her blood-stained left hand, which held a flat, dark blue metal box about the size of a playing card, and hand it to him.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

Qiao Yuan rushed into the floating ambulance and took the metal box with surprise.

"Wait...wait until we get to the main city before opening it...remember...to live well with the baby..."

After saying this, Grandma Xu suddenly brought her raised hand down, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

Yan Baobao stood beside him, her lips slightly trembling, her eyes already red-rimmed, and she remained silent.

There seemed to be another friend of the old lady nearby, also an elderly woman, who had a broken leg and was nodding at Qiao Yuan while in pain.

Qiao Yuan held the cold, dark blue metal box, yet it felt almost too hot to handle, because one side of the box was covered in her mother-in-law's blood...

The patterns on the iron box were exceptionally ornate, like a lifelike painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Every line was a pale gold color, which made him take a second look before finally letting out a sigh.

Sigh, even in her last moments, her mother-in-law was still concerned about his and the baby's future...

As for the previous sentence, he was instructed to open the iron box only when he reached the main city, but he had absolutely no clue what to do.

But he will.

Let's just consider it my mother-in-law's last words.

He stood quietly to the side, watching the medical staff handle his mother-in-law's body, his hands clenching involuntarily. It was Caesar and his gang of bastards who deserved to die!

If it weren't for the troubles that have been piling up these past few days, he would have planned to visit his mother-in-law.

Moreover, he would visit Granny Xu before heading to the main city, no matter what.

The last time we met was before the college entrance exam.

At that time, his mother specially prepared a large table of dishes for him and the baby, wishing them good luck and that they would both be admitted to Galaxy University.

Looking back now, it seems that my mother-in-law did indeed always hope that they would go to the main city, but there were still no clues, because for people outside the city, everyone longed to go to the main city, as it was a common goal.

Just like the expectations that Master Li of the White Crane Martial Arts School had for his son Li Haoran, everyone felt the same way.

did not expect……

Thankfully, my mother-in-law passed away peacefully with a smile on her face, without pain or regret.

It seemed the other party was deliberately waiting for him, wanting to personally hand over the iron box to him.

So... Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on the iron box again. What exactly was inside?

He could actually use the anchor point to go and see the future now, but after thinking about it, he gave up, since this was Grandma Xu's last entrustment.

Let's do as my mother-in-law says.

Today is the 16th, and I'll be going to the main city on the 19th. There's no rush; there are still many things to do. What he cares about most is advancing to the first tier of sublimation.

Wearing a black mecha suit, Yan Baobao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, remaining silent.

This was the first time he had ever seen the baby cry.

Not long after, he and the baby walked out of the white floating ambulance. Unfortunately, there was no hospital or morgue here, and the mother-in-law's body was left all alone.

Fortunately, with advanced technology, the remains have been properly treated and will not decompose or smell bad in a short period of time.

Of course, this part will cost money.

Aside from that, he couldn't do anything else for Granny Xu with the money he had given her.

This reminded him of the chaotic times of ancient times, when ordinary people died without even a straw mat to wrap them in...

Fuck Caesar!

"My mother-in-law has just made the funeral arrangements. The funeral will be held on the morning of the 19th. Are you coming?"

This was Yan Baobao's first sentence after we met tonight, as if she had grown up a lot in an instant.

"I'll come, I definitely will." Qiao Yuan nodded without hesitation, then sighed.

He then received a call from Hutu, thankfully not from an ambulance, and learned that Hutu was also in Qianhai, though quite far away.

"Come on, baby, follow me."

Although there is still a promise with Zhou Ye.

But at this point, he was no longer afraid that the other party would run away, because Zhou Ye had already been completely enraged by him.

Just like now, the other party brought Fang Ping over directly, shouting at him, "Where do you think you're going? The captain will be here soon, just wait to get beaten up, hahaha, we'll beat the shit out of you!"

Yan Baobao frowned immediately: "Get lost!"

She was in an extremely bad mood right now; Zhou Ye, that idiot, had completely walked into the line of fire.

Qiao Yuan ignored him and grabbed the baby's hand, heading straight for the floating vehicle outside the hall: "Come quickly."

Zhou was also choked with anger, and he suddenly felt that he didn't like Yan Baobao as much anymore.

It's all Qiao Yuan's fault, that beast! He's been cursing and laughing at him all night!

Damn it, that's like shitting on his head.

Fang Ping muttered to himself, "Where are they going? They're being so secretive. Hey, Zhou, maybe we should just call it a day."

"Screw you! I'd rather beat him up tonight than be a Zhou! And you have the nerve to say that? Did you say a word for me the whole way here? Not only did you not speak up for me, you even kept thanking him?"

"But...but he really did save our lives, didn't he? I wasn't planning on doing it anyway, it was you..." Fang Ping stammered, somewhat unconvinced.

Zhou Ye became even more furious: "What about me? Did I threaten you? Don't forget, you're the one who's been tracking Qiao Yuan's location every day, and you're the one who found the orphan. To put it bluntly, before I framed him, you had far more problems than I did. Go ahead and tell on me if you dare!"

"I didn't!" Fang Ping's face flushed red.

At the same time, Qiao Yuan had already gotten into the car with Yan Baobao, and there were several teenagers in the car.

Many more teenagers were wandering around outside the car. They had never been here before and were very curious and envious. Some of them suggested going to see the sea.

Qiao Yuan didn't care about any of that. According to the time calculation, he had just spent some time with his mother-in-law, and it was now almost twenty minutes after he had gone to the future timeline.

The reason I didn't know about my mother-in-law's death when I went to the future is because of this.

Because he carved out his own path through time to reach the future, he can see his future self, but he cannot access all his memories.

In addition, the baby hasn't said a word tonight.

The enormous mechanical head behind them was only a few hundred meters away. The roaring sounds, the dense beams of fire, and the blinding attacks from space satellites turned the black fog-shrouded night into daylight.

He closed the hatch and started the airship, flying towards the shallow sea.

Although it can only travel a maximum of 5 kilometers, it is still very useful because the mechanical head will be destroyed by the main city soon, and a bunch of people will be blown up in the hall and on the beach.

Oh yes, and Hu Tu too!

He didn't want to have any more regrets.

Qiao Yuan was on the phone when he quickly flew to Hall 6 to pick up Hu Tu, along with Hu Tu's father.

Only then did I notice that the chubby boy was pale, covered in cold sweat, and looked like he had collapsed.

"Oh my god, I was terrified! My dad and I had just left when something exploded near my house," Hu Tu exclaimed excitedly. "If you hadn't told us beforehand, we would have been killed! Forget everything else, how much tuition do you still owe? I'll pay it all! Don't try to refuse, okay? Can't you let me do something?"

The portly middle-aged man standing to the side wore a black suit jacket, but with baggy shorts and slippers, clearly having left in a hurry.

He nodded to Qiao Yuan and said, "Thank you, young man. You are my son's best friend. Your troubles are my troubles. Don't mention it."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle, please have a seat. Thanks to you, I made some money on the stocks earlier."

Hu Tu immediately became a little annoyed: "What the hell? You made a fortune and didn't tell me!"

Qiao Yuan smiled without saying a word. He started driving, and the next half hour passed quickly.

[Rewriting the future where one is killed by a mechanical head, determining the variables of fate, breaking through once, one can now immediately advance to the first level of sublimation.]

"?" Qiao Yuan stared in surprise.

Wait, this works?

That's like he changed the future three times tonight, that's so awesome!

I was thinking that my physical condition was just a little weak, but I could be fine after another half hour of training.

There's no rush now.

He hasn't reached the pinnacle yet, so breaking through now would be a waste of this opportunity for a physical breakthrough.

Once the first-order sublimation is reached, a new number of breakthroughs will definitely be needed, and we'll use that then.

There is one thing that is a little troublesome.

"Um, I'm about to advance to the next level of Ascension. I remember I need to drink another potion of the corresponding sequence. In my current state, I guess I don't have that left?"

He looked at the baby and Hutu very seriously.

Yan Baobao said with a hint of surprise, "So fast? It definitely won't work through normal channels. The price of the filtering agent has skyrocketed. But it's okay, I'll apply for one for you from the Ember Bureau."

"Thank you, baby," Qiao Yuan said with a smile.

Hu Tu, standing nearby, said enviously, "It's great to work for Ember! But Qiao Yuan, have you decided which sequence to choose? I struggled for a long time back then, after all, there are 30 sequence paths."

Qiao Yuan pondered for a moment: "No need to worry, I've already thought it through, it's a sequence that suits me perfectly."
