Divine Beast Creator

Initially, Meng Binglan wanted to go over to take a look at the situation, but upon learning about the significant safety risks posed by that parallel world, which might even contaminate the researchers, she decided to stay. After all, she wouldn’t be able to do much even if she went, but she still requested Feng Yuan to keep her updated with the latest intelligence about the parallel world.

Feng Yuan did not refuse this request, as he was also uncertain whether their operations in the parallel world would impact the real world. After all, the parallel world was already causing interference even before coming into existence. Once they took action in that world, nobody could say for sure if it would simultaneously affect the real world.

However, how to transmit the information remained to be discussed. Although the parallel world is also a part of this world, there are very few connections between the parallel and real worlds due to various reasons.

The reason Feng Yuan previously had Shi and Xilnais make a move was precisely because that connection point could only be violently erased using the powers of the Yin World. Or rather, Shi and Xilnais at the time opted for an indiscriminate erasure method to forcibly eliminate that space.

Targeting the parallel world isn’t impossible, but Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if he could eliminate the entire parallel world in one go. Moreover, doing so could have consequences on the Yin World due to the massive employment of its power, which concerned Feng Yuan.

Compared to the dangers and troubles brought by initial exploration, Feng Yuan saw the potential mishap in the Yin World as a truly significant problem.

Aware of Captain Yang and his team’s decision to stay in the real world, Feng Yuan didn’t say much. Although Qi Chen and his team wasn’t small in number, in comparison to the parallel world, Feng Yuan felt it would still be troublesome. However, considering the main force consisted of Divine Beasts, Feng Yuan didn’t plan on deploying too many people. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In the afternoon, everyone prepared their equipment at the assembly point. Feng Yuan glanced at the Treasure Bead hanging in front of Kong Qing’s neck and said to Qi Chen and the others:

"Put the most important items in an ordinary backpack and carry them with you. The rest, I’ll have Kong Qing carry. The contents of the Big Cat’s book also need to be taken, and on this trip to the parallel world, do not place anything in subspaces other than Kong Qing’s."

Saying this, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and the others. Even with Agunas, Feng Yuan did not consider their subspaces to be secure enough. Seeing Veronia about to speak, Feng Yuan said sternly:

"Once we reach that place, I don’t recommend you open the spatial link to the World of Mirrors, because the rules there might differ from those of the real world. If it’s not necessary, it’s better not to do so."

Agunas is a Divine Beast of time, and even if it had subspace methods, they may not be sufficient to counter twisted world rules. Veronia, in comparison, was in a better situation since the World of Mirrors was originally a complete mirror of the real world.

Even now that it’s incomplete, it still cannot be compared to ordinary subspaces. However, knowing the importance of the World of Mirrors to Veronia, Feng Yuan hoped Veronia would not inadvertently cause damage to it.

As for Kong Qing’s small space, it’s relatively much safer. Even though the Homeward Snake’s spaces are interspersed within layers of the real world’s space, Kong Qing, as a Space Divine Beast, can directly detach its own subspace and carry it around.

And because of its inherent spatial authority, Kong Qing is far better equipped than Agunas and the others in resisting the rules affecting the subspace, even if its strength pales in comparison to theirs.

Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen and the others to transfer items from their space equipment into Kong Qing’s space precisely due to concerns of potential issues. After all, the parallel world is unlike other areas, and changes in spatial rules are quite normal.

Being a relatively independent region, without proper preparations, there’s no telling if the contents of the space equipment might be lost the moment they enter the parallel world due to spatial collapse.

Seeing Qi Chen’s puzzlement, Feng Yuan explained his concerns, while the Big Cat and the others tossed their belongings to Kong Qing. As for Agunas, although it considered it unnecessary, Feng Yuan’s concerns were not unfounded.

After some thought, Agunas returned unused items to its lair and even recalled all its avatars, unsure if they would disappear in the parallel world due to losing contact with its main body.

Qiu Hanmo smiled and raised his brow at Yang Hongzhi, who sighed as he took items out of his backpack. Both Yang and Qiu Hanmo had packed their luggage, or rather, it seemed they were already anticipating such an eventuality.

Feng Yuan glanced meaningfully at Qiu Hanmo without saying anything. Having such help, in his view, wasn’t bad at all.

Conversely, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had to reorganize their things. Dou Yanlan sighed inwardly, not expecting to overlook such a possibility.

Clearly, she should have realized earlier; since Feng Yuan mentioned that the rules of the parallel world differ from the real world, the likelihood of being unable to use space equipment wasn’t low, yet she didn’t take it seriously.

Soon, everyone packed their luggage, and Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity and the approaching Gitalien, saying:

"Qi Chen, you’ll ride the White Wolf Deity with Dou Yanlan later. Gitalien, you’ll be responsible for outer patrol protection. Although theoretically, no life should exist in that region, given the current unknowns, it’s better to be prepared."

In its human form, Gitalien nodded without dissent. The pressure from the parallel world was significant on them since it’s something they had never encountered before, and from the limited intelligence available, the parallel world posed considerable challenges for them as Divine Beasts.

"Alright, Qi Chen, you get on board, and everyone else, gather around me, ready to set off."

Pulling out The Black Scythe, Feng Yuan’s eyes sharpened as he spoke loudly. Qiu Hanmo stood beside Feng Yuan with Yang Hongzhi, while Xiao Ji clung closely to Feng Yuan, and even the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound did the same.

No one questioned what actions Feng Yuan intended to take or how he planned to move with so many people and Spirit Beasts. They trusted Feng Yuan.

Tamur flew up into the sky quickly, nodding toward Feng Yuan and at the same time, Gitalien reverted to its original form, the sky instantly dominated by two massive dragons.

Gitalien quickly hovered to the perimeter, and as Feng Yuan swung The Black Scythe, bubble-like barriers enveloped everyone and the Spirit Beasts. Outside these bubbles, a larger bubble covered all present, including the Spirit Beasts.

The Eastern Giant Dragon, Tamur, released a furious roar, creating a massive whirlpool in the sky. Under Tamur’s influence, the whirlpool expanded rapidly as Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan atop the White Wolf Deity and swung The Black Scythe once more.

A large bubble carried everyone towards the Great Whirlpool as Agunas and the others followed from outside the bubble. Even Veronia reverted to her original form, with brilliant Golden Crystals swirling around her.

Ready to strike should any enemies appear.

Captain Yang watched this scene from a distance, silent. If he could, he wouldn’t want those he considered needing protection to handle this.

Unfortunately, faced with something that even Divine Beasts found dangerous, they were utterly powerless.

"Since he selected them to help, naturally, he wouldn’t let them encounter danger easily."

Meng Binglan glanced at Captain Yang, speaking slowly, to which he replied with a wry smile:

"I just feel... we’re utterly helpless in this matter, needing them to involve themselves in such hazardous affairs. It’s really..."

"Even Divine Beasts aren’t omnipotent, and we’re even less so. But at least we can strive to protect others now."

"You’re right."

Letting out a sigh, Captain Yang gazed at the massive whirlpool in the sky, lost in thought.

Crossing the whirlpool entrance, they were engulfed in boundless darkness. Aside from the glow created by the Divine Beasts, only the bubbles formed by Feng Yuan produced faint glimmers in this dark space.

Even then, these lights merely allowed everyone to see their teammates.

"A void, that makes sense. But where is the parallel world?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this sight because the current location was inherently such—a void outside spatial layers. Here, almost nothing existed, darkness was merely an illusion, and fundamentally, even darkness wasn’t present.

As Gitalien rushed in, the whirlpool entrance rapidly closed. This region was overly unique, prompting Tamur to hesitate in maintaining a passage, worrying it might affect the real world.

After communicating through special means, everyone looked at Tamur in its dragon form.

There was no choice. Even Feng Yuan couldn’t sense the location of the parallel world; if Tamur couldn’t find it, their mission would be deemed a failure.

Fortunately, though Tamur could only vaguely sense the location of that terrifying whirlpool, there were no issues in indicating the direction.

Even so, along the way, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ponder. Despite the absence of spatial or temporal definitions here, theoretically, for the parallel world to influence reality, it should be closely attached to the real world. So, what exactly was going on now?
