Chapter 557: The One Who Unleashes the Beast; Magnetism Rotation!
Yanjing Airport has an extremely high daily passenger flow. Song Xian leaned outside the exit, keeping a distance from the crowd. It seemed a celebrity was appearing from this airport today, as many frenzied fans had gathered.
Their noise and disorder made his head ache. He occasionally envied these empty-headed people, for they had no idea what changes were happening in the world, nor did they even care about their own lives.
They only needed to care about celebrity gossip to get by each day.
Song Xian instinctively pulled out his lighter and flicked it twice, then realized smoking wasn't allowed here and put it away.
The man standing beside him was tall and upright, his posture impeccable, exuding the rigid and upright aura cultivated in the military.
Tian Jie's eyes were focused like a hawk, constantly scanning everyone emerging from the exit, his brain operating like a high-speed machine, trying to find any dangerous individuals.
"Tian Jie, aren't you tired? Relax a bit."
"Today we're just picking someone up, not going to ambush…"
At this point, Song Xian recalled a few months ago when, upon receiving intelligence, Title-level Reincarnator Phantom Sword Chu Qi ambushed a group of Reincarnators, including members of Azure Sky and False and Real Throne, seizing an extremely precious card and escaping to Binhai City.
At that time, Song Xian was breaking out in cold sweat.
He almost immediately applied to Elder Li to assemble multiple elite Reincarnators and preemptively deployed special police and military squads.
All sorts of measures were prepared, and he even deliberately risked choosing to act in a bustling urban area.
The purpose was to use the eyes of various ordinary people, surveillance cameras, and other means to suppress Chu Qi's Reincarnator abilities.
But the final outcome was quite unexpected for him.
The well-known Phantom Sword Chu Qi actually chose to make a deal with them, after which they "successfully" killed this Title-level Reincarnator in the bustling urban area.
This then triggered a new round of card pursuit, leading to multiple high-risk Reincarnators, including Red Leaf, entering East Xia Luohui.
Even…
Tao Pai Pai very likely became a Reincarnator during that incident, successfully using the card given by Chu Qi.
And then he quickly rose to become the influential figure now dominating Myanmar.
That was the origin of everything.
While he was pondering, Tian Jie had already spotted the target: a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned, not particularly muscular build.
He carried a briefcase, looking like a salaryman returning from a business trip.
Tian Jie snapped his fingers, and the sound was surprisingly crisp. Everyone else turned back in surprise. Chu Qi quickly came to their side and swiftly departed.
Inside the car, Chu Qi took off his hat and sunglasses, revealing his baby face. Calling it a baby face wasn't quite accurate, as he was the same age as Bai Cangshu, and indeed not yet mature, probably only around twenty-two years old.
"Have things in North Xinjiang been handled?"
East Xia has a vast territory, so the incidents caused by Reincarnators are naturally quite scattered. Border regions occasionally experience some uncontrollable events, and individuals with outstanding abilities are chosen to resolve them.
After two months of cooperation, Chu Qi had earned Elder Li's complete trust, so he was assigned to independently resolve a mysterious incident that had recently occurred in North Xinjiang.
Chu Qi smiled; he had dimples on both sides when he smiled, making him appear even younger. Compared to Song Xian and Tian Jie, he truly seemed as naive as a student.
"Nothing major. Just a Strong-tier Reincarnator who, taking advantage of ability users gradually being accepted, started using his abilities to control the local herdsmen, seemingly wanting to imitate those influential figures and establish his own territory."
"You killed him?"
Chu Qi nodded, not saying much more.
Song Xian and Tian Jie's expressions also softened slightly. Having another high-tier Reincarnator on their side was always a good thing.
The few of them stopped talking, seemingly all considering how to open the conversation. After a long silence, Song Xian was the first to tentatively ask,
"Did Elder Li tell you the purpose of bringing you back?"
Chu Qi turned his head and saw that Tian Jie, who was driving, was looking straight ahead, but his perception was clearly already expanded. He could see that Tian Jie's muscles were slightly tensed.
And Song Xian also showed some nervousness in his expression.
Chu Qi smiled; he understood this emotion.
"He didn't say, but I can guess. Bringing me back at this time, you've probably discovered Tao Pai Pai's true identity, that he's Cangshu, right?"
Song Xian's eyes widened instantly.
"You knew?!"
A surge of anger immediately welled up in his heart.
"Since you knew Tao Pai Pai's true identity was Bai Cangshu, why didn't you tell us earlier?!"
Chu Qi waved his hand, still smiling, but his smile had faded considerably. He looked out the window, his expression somewhat peculiar.
"I only confirmed it recently. After all, besides someone like Cangshu, I can't imagine anyone else who could be so… out of line…"
Chu Qi and Bai Cangshu attended the same elementary school when they were young. He witnessed how that monstrous boy gradually imitated him, becoming seemingly harmless.
Perhaps it was because they sat together, or for other reasons, but Chu Qi knew that Bai Cangshu was much better than him in all aspects, whether it was running, jumping, studying…
But Bai Cangshu was imitating him.
In junior high, that era saw many students mimicking gangster behavior, associating with delinquents, and then extorting pocket money from other students.
Chu Qi and Bai Cangshu were cornered by that group. Chu Qi personally witnessed Bai Cangshu alone beating seven or eight delinquents until they vomited blood. The smile Bai Cangshu displayed then made him feel both unfamiliar and terrified.
Eventually, at the end of junior high, Chu Qi chose to move away with his parents, but that unusual friend from his youth remained etched in his memory.
So, when he encountered those powerful and cruel anomalies in the Infinite Dimensional Space, the first person he thought of was Bai Cangshu.
Chu Qi turned his head and looked at Song Xian, his smile strange.
"Mr. Song, have you perhaps misunderstood something…?"
"My cooperation with you doesn't mean I fully agree with your ideals."
A strong sense of sharpness emerged, and the leather seats in the car began to crack.
Song Xian's entire body instantly turned black, covered in Armament Haki, and smoke spread from his limbs.
Chu Qi stared at Song Xian, enunciating each word:
"You don't know what will happen in the future; I do."
"You, me, none of us are important. It's most important that someone like Cangshu enters the Space!"
"So, I will support Elder Li's plan to send that clone… into the Space."

Bai Cangshu floated in the air, the surrounding environment mimicked into a vast ocean. Bai Cangshu's body was not yet dry; he had been at the bottom of the sea earlier, using high-gravity and deep-sea pressure to warm up.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the air, hands spread open. His Lv7 Air Dance was already extremely refined, allowing him to float by releasing trace amounts of qi.
His body flickered with electric light, and the Bodhi hung on his chest, glowing faintly.
Bai Cangshu's black long hair fanned out behind him, moving without wind.
Transcendent Helix had been pushed to its limit. The invisible helical force was like twisting an unimaginably massive object, turning little by little towards a more extreme angle.
Bai Cangshu's muscles constantly trembled, and the bio-electricity, carried by the Current Drive in his heart and acupoints, also began to rotate.
His vision elevated infinitely, once again looking down upon the entire ocean and the planet beneath the sea.
There, indeed, existed a colossal force field.
That force field enveloped all territories, covering everything, but because it was spread out widely enough, it wasn't particularly intense.
The Current Drive in Bai Cangshu's body crackled, transforming into electric light that continuously fell into the ocean.
Those electric currents seemed to merge into the ocean, connecting with that grand force field.
Bai Cangshu opened his eyes, both completely transformed into blue-white, amidst surging electric light.
Bai Cangshu's long hair rose violently backward.
Bai Cangshu activated all the Current Drive in his body; even his qi began to exhibit lightning properties, crackling.
He felt as if he had grasped that force field, and along with it, the Current Drive within his body also began to transform into a new form, beginning to rotate.
"Make it… turn!"
Screech!
The ocean surged, and a terrifying force field began to erupt from within Bai Cangshu's body.
