Chapter 171: 167. Clearing Plan (A 10,000-character chapter asking for monthly tickets!)_3
Qing Chen felt a bit emotional. While he had been clever and smart in several battles, compared to those who had spent their lives playing with tactics, his heart was not as sullied as theirs.
He felt somewhat fortunate that he had ended up in prison right after he traveled through time and met Uncle Li Dong.
If he had traveled directly into the heart of Qingâs Family, he might well have been controlled by now.
Nan Gengchen added, âIâm just giving an example here. Li Bingzhe seems to be over a hundred years old, and itâs impossible to find a substitute for him in the Outer World, but this method could be used on others.â
Wait a minute, Qing Chen suddenly thought of something. Could Uncle Li Dong and Lin Xiaoxiao be replaced through time travel?!
This was a serious issue.
If there was an Uncle Li Dong in the Outer World as well, and the forces of the Inner World deliberately found him and brought him to Los Angeles City, wouldnât Uncle Li Dong also be in danger?
At one point, even Qing Chen thought about executing an elimination plan. He had finally met a good master, and the idea that the other could be replaced through time travel was something he couldnât accept.
But then the problem returned. If there really was an Uncle Li Dong in the Outer World, what fault did the counterpart have? Just because they shared the same name and appearance, did that justify killing them?

He suddenly asked Nan Gengchen, âThose Time Travelers who are controlled by the Li Family, are there any Transcendents among them? Can Transcendents be replaced?â
âThere actually is one Transcendent,â Nan Gengchen said. âLi Yinuo complained about him, saying that the Transcendentâs abilities seemed unreliableâŠâ
When Qing Chen heard that even Transcendents could be replaced, his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Did this mean that Uncle Li Dong really could be replaced?
And the friends he made in the Inner World could also potentially be replaced in the future!
He then asked, âAre any of these people injected with the Genetic Potion?â
âNone of them had the Genetic Potion injected,â Nan Gengchen said. âLi Yinuo even complained, saying that none of the Time Travelers had been injected with the Genetic Potion. She suspects that people who have had the Genetic Potion injected have altered their genes, so they canât meet the conditions for time travel.â
Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately thought of another issue, âWait, why donât all the people from the Li Family just get injected with the Genetic Potion then, instead of carrying out this elimination plan?â
Nan Gengchen looked at Qing Chen, âBrother Chen, donât you know? The Genetic Potion has side effectsâŠâ
âSide effects?â Qing Chen was stunned. âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs not quite the same as becoming a Transcendent. Those who are injected with the Genetic Potion find it very difficult to have offspring,â Nan Gengchen explained. âDuring the process of reproduction, the embryo rarely forms successfully. So internally, the consortium is searching for various lineages, trying to make their descendants become Transcendents, rather than injecting the Genetic Potion directly. For instance, Li Yinuo has a teacher specifically teaching her cultivation.â
Nan Gengchen continued, âLi Yinuo said that currently, only one specific Genetic Potion sequence from the Contraindicated courts doesnât affect fertility, but its effect on enhancing abilities isnât that great, and itâs also scarce in the market. Moreover, the consortium would worry that if someone did find their exact counterpart, and then specifically injected the same Genetic Potion into the substitute from the Outer World, time travel might still be achievable. Therefore, the elimination plan is deemed more reliable.â
Qing Chen was shocked. He truly did not know about these side effects from the Genetic Potion.
If his own genes had been altered too, could he also possibly be unable to have offspring?
His master had never mentioned this!
No, if it were something as serious as that, Uncle Li Dong would definitely have told him. Since he didnât, it would not likely result in significant side effects.
He would definitely need to ask his master about it the next time he traveled through time⊠For it was quite importantâŠ
Fortunately, there was some good news. Based on the current logic, his teacher would likely not be replaced, because the moment he was promoted to a Knight, his genes had changed.
However, Transcendents like Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan were still at risk!
Nan Gengchen said, âBrother Chen, do you have any way to prevent time travel? Li Yinuo is quite nice to me, if she gets replaced, wouldnât that be like she had died?â
Truth be told, it wasnât just the people of the Inner World who were worried about being replaced.
Even people from the Outer World like Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen were concerned about their friends from the Inner World being replaced.
After thinking a while, Qing Chen said, âI think I might have a way. Let me confirm it, and then Iâll tell you.â
Just then, he suddenly thought of something else:
Almost everyone in the Kunlun organization had physical capabilities far beyond regular humans, which must have something to do with the Genetic Potion, right? Were they not concerned about these side effects?
Or perhaps, they knew about the side effects but still made that choice.
âWhen is the Li Family planning to execute the elimination plan?â Qing Chen asked.
Nan Gengchen said, âAll I know is that theyâre currently not in a hurry. They want those Time Travelers to become stronger first, to wait until theyâre not so easily lost before they make plans.â
Finding Time Travelers is becoming increasingly hard, and more Time Travelers have learned to hide themselves. So after the Li Family came up with a more cunning plan, they started to view Time Travelers as a strategic resource to be cherished.
The consortium is one of those groups in the world that understands interests best. They try to turn every disadvantage into an opportunity.â
Nan Gengchen added, âBrother Chen, Iâve told you everything I know. Iâm just a friend of Li Yinuoâs, so I canât know that much. If you want to find out more, youâd probably have to ask the core members of the Li Family, but we donât know such people in the Outer World.â
