God of Racing

Chapter 257: The Past


Having passed through that invisible wall, Ye Qiu anxiously called out to Fle.

At some unknown point, Fle and the Car God System had become Ye Qiu's inner reliance, making him feel confident in whatever he did.

He wasn't sure when it happened, but Fle and the Car God System's presence had quietly changed his character too.

Previously, Ye Qiu was decisive in his actions but would still have some reservations.

But ever since Fle and the Car God System came into his life, he acted without hesitation, as if anything could be resolved before him.

It was all because of Fle and the Car God System, which surpassed Earth's technological level.

Deep down, there seemed to be a sense of pride in him, feeling superior to anyone in this world.

"Fle, Fle! Are you there, speak!"

Ye Qiu called gently to Fle but received no response, leaving him somewhat stunned.

"Car God System?"

He then summoned the Car God System, but the result was the same—no reaction.

The familiar virtual interface was gone, and Fle's sometimes teasing voice was nowhere to be heard.

"This..."

Ye Qiu was momentarily dumbfounded, feeling his legs weaken. What happened here? How could Fle and the Car God System suddenly vanish?

Where have they gone? Something's not right. Could it be due to this mysterious space? Blocked by people from an alien domain?

Ye Qiu frowned in contemplation, removing the necklace associated with the Car God System from his neck and clutching it in his hand, feeling a sense of melancholy.

When someone grows accustomed to something, or to having someone by their side, and that object or person suddenly disappears, it's a hard-to-describe and uncomfortable feeling.

That's precisely how Ye Qiu felt at that moment—lost and confused.

Without the Car God System, he faced Earth's impending crisis. What was he supposed to do?

Thinking back to the three blessings that Fle had told him, Earth was about to face a major crisis that could potentially destroy it, but with the Car God System's help, Ye Qiu wasn't afraid since the system could alter his physique and make him stronger.

But now, everything was gone. Without the Car God System's aid, how could he become stronger?

He clenched his fist, feeling reassured that the physique altered by the Car God System was still there, but immediately became worried again.

Although, with his current strength, few on Earth might be his match, perhaps none at all.

But facing the forthcoming crisis on Earth, Ye Qiu, who once reached Level 6 attributes in Chile, had been to Dar Star.

Though it was brief, Ye Qiu witnessed the planet's might, its advanced technology, and the strength of its people.

He knew that with Earth's level of technology, those people wouldn't need more than a thousand to conquer Earth.

Therefore, Ye Qiu was extremely anxious about not having the Car God System, which could enhance him; he didn't know what to do next.

Facing the looming crisis, what path should he take?

He didn't believe that mere training could enhance him; no current training method could improve his physique.

"Ah."

He sat somewhat lost on a mound of dirt, gazing at the necklace in his hand, which housed the Car God System, and said, "Where did you go, why did you disappear?"

He then looked at the necklace, recalling the past moments.

Initially, this necklace was given to him by Lin Xirou; at that time, Ye Qiu was still in the Highway Hero Team, his talent recognized, considered a genius and nurtured.

At that time, Lin Xirou was similar, regarded as a star racer in the Highway Hero Team and trained alongside him.

Although they hadn't formally established a romantic relationship, everyone knew about their connection.

Finally, one day, Lin Xirou gave Ye Qiu the necklace and confessed her feelings.

It's said that when a man pursues a woman, it's like crossing a mountain; when a woman pursues a man, it's like passing through a veil.

Ye Qiu always had feelings for Lin Xirou, but his dreams came first, so he chose to ignore romance.

Moreover, he and Lin Xirou had trained together since they were eight. Over that time, they built a deep bond and were more than just ordinary friends.

They simply needed to say one sentence to bridge the gap between them.

Lin Xirou's bold confession left the love-wooden-headed Ye Qiu without hesitation; he accepted the necklace and agreed.

Then they were together, eating, training, watching movies—all the same, just added an indescribable flavor between them.

Until Ye Qiu participated in competitions, reaching the finals in a streak of victories, he failed, crashing even his teammates off the track.

From there, he plummeted, falling from the pedestal, transforming from a praised genius to a criminal-like villain...

"Haha, it's all brought to me by you!"

Ye Qiu looked at the necklace in his hand, feeling no hatred like before, but a faint sadness.

Fortunately, the necklace let him see through some people and things.

It also helped him see Lin Xirou clearly.

He knew the girl who'd stay with him whether he was good or bad, whom others' words could never drive away, sincerely loved him.

He knew Lin Xirou's feelings were genuine, so he tried to avoid her during that period.

Thinking he wasn't worthy of Lin Xirou, his talent diminished while hers remained, he felt unworthy.

So during that period, he chose to evade her, but even so, Lin Xirou quietly stayed by his side.

She still called him to wake up daily, brought him meals, and chatted with him.

Though he intentionally tried to drive Lin Xirou away, even getting angry or insulting her.

Lin Xirou merely smiled lightly and silently left, returning the next day.

In hindsight, Ye Qiu truly felt the one he owed most was Lin Xirou.

"Xirou."

Ye Qiu tightly held the necklace.

"If Earth indeed faced a crisis, and I no longer have the Car God System's support, then we'd both die."

Ye Qiu initially thought that with the system's help during Earth's crisis, he could survive it.

He intended to help the people he knew, wanting to face the crisis together.

Among them, Lin Xirou undoubtedly held priority.

But now everything seemed illusory; without the Car God System's support, he would perish. The people he wished to aid would die too.

"Fle, system, where have you gone?"

Ye Qiu asked the necklace.
