Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

"What the hell are you talking about! You are the chosen one chosen by the world consciousness! How can you say such crazy words!" The boss of 079 was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Cheng Mo with trembling fingers, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

But Cheng Mo ignored his words, as if he had lost all hope. Cheng Mo bent down exhaustedly, picked up the sharp bone knife that had fallen to the ground beside him, and stabbed it into the body of the man in black robe without hesitation.

"Huh! How dare you..." The man in black robe widened his eyes, looking at Cheng Mo in disbelief. However, Cheng Mo did not stop his actions. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with endless anger and hatred, and the bone knife in his hand kept falling like raindrops, and each knife pierced deeply into the black-robed man's body.

"Why! You want to destroy our peaceful and beautiful life! Why! You want to harm those innocent people! Why! Why is all this happening?" Cheng Mo's roar resounded throughout the space. His heart had long been filled with anger, and the bone knife in his hand became a tool for him to vent his emotions. He stabbed the man in black robe frantically.

"City Lord!" The orcs outside ran in breathlessly, and saw this scene as soon as they entered the cave - Cheng Mo was like a madman, constantly stabbing the man in black robe with a knife, while Ban Mu fell to the side, his life or death unknown.

Hen Yi stared at what was happening in front of him with eyes wide open, in disbelief. He then turned his gaze to the stranger standing beside him and asked with caution, "Who are you?!"

Many orcs gathered around, looking at the scene in shock, not knowing what to do.

Hen Yi hurried forward, grabbed Cheng Mo's hand, stopped his crazy behavior, and dragged him away from the black-robed man's body. Cheng Mo stood there like a zombie, his eyes empty, and he had lost all vitality.

"Hen Yi, take us back first..." Cheng Mo waved his hand weakly, his voice low and hoarse. Then, he slowly turned around, looked at the boss of 079 standing beside him, and said calmly: "I am just an ordinary person, without grand ambitions. I just want to do my best to develop the city of Qiming and make it a better place in my limited life. I hope you will stop interfering with my life."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Mo took heavy steps and led the other orcs to leave the cave silently. The leader of 079 stood there quietly, watching their backs as they left, thinking. After a moment, he picked up the black-robed man on the ground and left the cave with him.

When Cheng Mo and Ban Mu returned to the city, they caused quite a stir. When people in the city saw them, they came up to them and asked questions. However, Cheng Mo just waved his hand without saying a word, and took Ban Mu back home, leaving a group of confused people watching them leave.

"Hen Yi! What on earth happened to you? Why did the City Lord and the others become like this?!" Xiong Bo grabbed Hen Yi tightly when he was about to leave and asked anxiously.

Hen Yi sighed helplessly and told Xiong Bo everything that happened: "High Priest, I don't know the details. At that time, it was Banmu who asked us to escape first. We finally ran to the cave entrance and suddenly felt a strong force coming out of the cave. Everyone was suppressed by that force and couldn't move. Then, someone rushed in, and not long after, the force inside stopped. Afterwards, we entered the cave and saw that the city lord and his men had become what they are now, and that person stood quietly by the side without saying a word. Before leaving, the city lord specifically told him not to disturb them again."

Xiongbai frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Who is that person? Do you know him?"

Hen Yi shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "I don't know him. I don't think he is even an orc. He gives people a very strange feeling."

Xiong Bai's expression became more and more serious. He realized that things might be more complicated than they thought.

"Okay, you all go and have a rest." Xiong Bo waved his hand with a heavy heart. Hen Yi and the others nodded and turned to leave.

"Dad..." Cheng Lingqu lay beside the bed with a worried look on his face, staring at Cheng Mo intently. At this moment, Cheng Mo was looking at Ban Mu lying quietly on the bed with worry. Ban Mu's face was pale and old, and his breathing was very light, as if it would stop in the next moment.

Cheng Mo reached out and gently stroked Cheng Lingqu's head, comforting him: "Dad is fine, don't worry."

Cheng Lingqu held Cheng Mo's hand tightly and asked anxiously: "Dad, father just fell asleep, right?"

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly and replied softly: "Yes, Banmu, he was just too tired to deal with the bad guys, so he fell asleep..."

Cheng Lingqu tried to force out a bright smile, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! I will wait for my father to wake up! Our family must be together! I also want to go on a picnic with you!"

Cheng Mo suppressed his inner sorrow, gently stroked Cheng Lingqu's hair, and said softly: "Okay..."

For a long time afterwards, Banmu remained in a deep sleep.

At first, Cheng Mo was able to stay by Ban Mu's bedside, handling official business while waiting for him to wake up. However, as time went on, Cheng Mo's inner anxiety became heavier. In order to relieve this emotion, he had to devote more energy to busy official business, trying to numb himself by burying himself in work.

Cheng Mo's abnormal condition attracted Xiong Bo's attention. Every day, Xiong Bo would run to Cheng Mo and persuade him to take a rest.

"City Lord! You should take a rest today, after all, it's the weekend!" Xiong Bo stood beside Cheng Mo and advised worriedly. However, Cheng Mo was concentrating on handling the pile of official business in front of him, and seemed to have not heard Xiong Bo's words at all.

"Thank you for your concern, High Priest. I'm really fine..." Cheng Mo responded without even raising his head. Seeing this, Xiong Bai was anxious and pointed at Cheng Mo, but he didn't know how to express his worry.

"You don't look like anyone is alright! You..." Xiong Bai hesitated to speak.

"High Priest, please go back first. I will be able to handle these matters soon." Cheng Mo did not even look up at Xiong Bai and continued to concentrate on the work in his hands.

"How can I feel at ease if you don't take care of your health? No! You must stop and rest for a while! What if Banmu wakes up..." Xiong Bai suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing halfway through his words. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, regretting it deeply.
