Star City Academy, Principal's Office.

"Have you thought about it? Do you want to come to my Star City Academy after graduation?"

Looking at Bai Fusheng, who had a kind face and was trying to persuade him patiently, Feng Qi already had the answer in his heart.

His dream used to be Galaxy Academy, but he applied to Galaxy Academy to study Cultivation Method Research, hoping to enter Galaxy Academy's Cultivation Method research institution in the future.

But now that he had the Future Dream, whether he could get into Galaxy Academy was no longer important.

Compared to that, Star City Academy was his best choice. Besides being worried about the two ticking time bombs, Lin Ran and Mu Qing, History Teacher Wang would also come to retake his studies someday in the future.

He looked forward to witnessing Old Wang's rise.

However, he didn't directly accept Bai Fusheng's invitation for direct admission without exams.

The art of negotiation lay in back-and-forth, and then getting what you wanted during the back-and-forth. Thinking of this, he said:

"Grandmaster, I want to discuss something with you."

Hearing this, Bai Fusheng immediately felt there was a chance, so he smiled and said:

"Speak. As long as it's not asking you to be the principal, we can discuss it."

"Joining Star City Academy is not a problem, but I don't want to be a student."

"Not a student? You really want to be the principal?" Bai Fusheng looked surprised.

Feng Qi: ...

"Actually, I want to be a teacher at Star City Academy and teach students knowledge about Cultivation Method Studies. You also know my talent. I'm not bragging, but with my ability, being an academy teacher is more than enough."

Hearing such boastful words, Bai Fusheng didn't refute.

He had heard Feng Qi lecture before. His foundation was solid, and the content was clear and organized, suitable for the classroom like a teaching template. So, letting Feng Qi be a teacher was theoretically feasible.

But the problem was, not just anyone could be an academy teacher. They needed to provide various qualification certificates and pass various assessments from the Ministry of Education.

There was one requirement that Feng Qi could never meet: providing an academy graduation certificate.

These rigid requirements were also for the sake of the academy's students, not out of stubbornness. After all, teaching Cultivation Methods was not a trivial matter.

Teaching without experience could easily lead to students making mistakes in their cultivation, and in severe cases, it could even cause students' meridians to break and lead to death.

In the past, various academies had hired a group of well-known powerhouses from Domain Battle Squads to teach, and many safety issues related to cultivation had occurred during that time.

So, being strong and being able to teach were two different things.

Many rigid regulations were learned from historical lessons.

Looking at Feng Qi, Bai Fusheng felt troubled. He didn't doubt Feng Qi's ability, but he couldn't fulfill Feng Qi's request.

"Grandmaster, you are the principal. I think you can easily handle this small matter."

"Small matter? If I agree to this, my position as principal might be revoked. How can I let you be a teacher when you don't even have a teacher's qualification?" Bai Fusheng said, puffing his beard and glaring.

"Then let's think differently. I can become a student at Star City Academy, but you have to give me the corresponding authority of a teacher, such as leading a class or something. But externally, I'm still a student."

"This... I'll consider it."

Letting Feng Qi occasionally teach a few classes was still within his authority, but letting Feng Qi lead a class seemed a bit too much in his opinion.

"Just let me try, Grandmaster. If I don't teach well, I'll obediently be a student, how about that?" Feng Qi continued to persuade, trying to get Bai Fusheng's approval.

As for whether he could teach students well, he wasn't worried.

The Cultivation Method teaching videos from the Future Dream could completely solve this problem for him.

There was nothing that couldn't be solved by plagiarizing the future. If there was, then plagiarize a few more times.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Fusheng gritted his teeth and said:

"Since you're confident, I'll let you try for now. But what exactly are you thinking, kid? Isn't it good to be a student? Why do you want to be a teacher and make things difficult for yourself?"

"Geniuses are just different," Feng Qi said with a grin.

Looking at Feng Qi, who was gradually becoming arrogant, Bai Fusheng was speechless for a moment.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that Feng Qi at this moment was extremely punchable.

Returning to the dormitory from the Principal's Office.

Feng Qi sat at his desk, opened his notebook, and began to record the gains from this Future Dream, as well as the preparations needed for the next time he entered the dream.

The "Suction Cup" he encountered in this Future Dream made him curious.

It seemed there was something on him that was attracting the Suction Cup, making her dependent on him.

He didn't know the specific reason, so he planned to search the database thoroughly the next time he entered the Future Dream to see if there was any information about the Suction Cup.

His biggest gain from this Future Dream was knowing that there were enemies lurking among humans, and the mysterious Scarlet Institute was very likely controlled by the enemy, becoming a tool for Domain Creatures to curb the development of human civilization.

Based on the email message description, he guessed that the Scarlet Institute might also be conducting a series of secret research projects that endangered the development of human civilization. And the ones leading these research projects were the Domain Transcendents who could leave the Domain Field.

As for what specific research projects they were, the information left to him by the future was very limited, so the answer was unknown.

Now that he had returned from the Future Dream, he set a goal for himself.

secretly establish an organization capable of rivaling the Scarlet Institute, while also protecting human geniuses who might otherwise perish prematurely.

As long as he could achieve the above, the future would inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes.

Feng Qi's mindset was quietly changing with each entry into the future dreamscape.

The first time he entered the Star City Shelter and learned that human civilization would be destroyed 1500 years later, he was stunned, even finding it hard to believe.

Before that, he had firmly believed that in the long struggle against Domain invasion, humanity would surely win.

But now he understood that the end of human civilization was not accidental; the truth was extremely cruel.

There was no such thing as peaceful times.

The notion that humanity would eventually dispel all Domain Fields and achieve final victory through diligent development was false.

The seemingly calm development of civilization was, in fact, turbulent beneath the surface, with a series of crises that could potentially destroy human civilization.

The Scarlet Institute, Mu Qing, Lin Ran... perhaps there were many other hidden crises yet to be discovered. He needed to be like antivirus software, traveling through the future, scanning for viruses lurking in history, and ultimately killing them to ensure the healthy growth of human civilization.

Feeling the pressure, he took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute once more.

Since he had decided to step forward, he would never back down.

The end of human civilization was 1500 years away, which actually didn't affect him in the present. By the time the apocalypse arrived, he would have long since passed away, able to live a carefree life without worrying about the future.

But he wasn't that kind of person.

He believed that when faced with the same problem, there would be others who, like him, would choose to fight without hesitation.

History could prove this point.

Star City itself was once nearly swallowed by the expanding Domain Field. At that time, a group of people stood up. They advanced wave after wave, throwing themselves into the battle against the Domain Field without hesitation, using the sacrifices of countless lives to dispel the spreading Domain Field.

The peace and tranquility they enjoyed in Star City now were created by the lives of heroes.

If everyone chose to retreat, humanity would have no future.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

When he was browsing the Star City Database, he felt as though he was standing on the shoulders of the future, and modern civilization was developing on his shoulders.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the future was also standing on his shoulders.

Because his every action could influence and change the future.

Therefore, he carried a future on his shoulders!

Closing his notebook, he walked to the balcony and looked up at the vast starry sky, the suppression in his heart easing.

A gentle breeze brushed his face, and feeling the beauty in the tranquility, he grinned:

"I can win!"

Since the future wasn't the future he desired, he would turn it into the future he envisioned.
