Divine Beast Creator

In the beginning, Veronia was somewhat worried about communication issues. After all, the rules of this parallel world had been distorted severely. However, to its surprise, within the Barrier, the world’s rules seemed unaffected.

Or rather, is this city one of the few sanctuaries in this world?

Since the world’s rules within the city were not distorted, the ultimate move used to alleviate communication barriers could be used normally. Although Feng Yuan and the others couldn’t hear what Veronia was saying, judging by its and those people’s behavior, it seemed they could communicate normally, and didn’t seem like enemies.

Despite thinking this way, Feng Yuan still reminded everyone to remain cautious. He couldn’t be sure if the other party was just trying to make them lower their guard before taking them all down in one move.

"There are traces of the Mythical Era, but also imprints of modern evolution. This place likely has something to do with those people."

Agunas flicked its tail and said with a headache. Now, the thing it feared the most had happened — this parallel world was related to those people. Or rather, it’s possible that those people were the ones who caused this.

This is troublesome. After all, those people were already difficult to deal with. With the technology provided by Feng Yuan, they had left many incredible things in the real world. Now, they’re interfering in this dangerous parallel world. Or should it be said, this parallel world was their doing?

Thinking of Feng Yuan’s previous explanation of the parallel world, Agunas’s face turned grim. It didn’t believe that the other party did this unintentionally. What exactly were they trying to accomplish by creating something so dangerous?

Are these people here their descendants? What exactly has happened in this place?

After a while, Veronia returned and gestured for everyone to follow. Along the way, the people around curiously and slightly surprisingly scrutinized Feng Yuan and his group.

However, the more he observed those people, the worse Feng Yuan’s expression became. After a faint sigh, he decided to find a chance to privately tell the others not to get too close to these "people."

While Feng Yuan was thinking this, he noticed a little girl at the mouth of an alley by the roadside, looking at them with terror. It seemed like she noticed Feng Yuan’s gaze, and the little girl hurriedly ran into the alley.

Frowning slightly, Feng Yuan didn’t chase after her immediately but left a mark behind. The girl’s behavior left him quite puzzled.

Anas City, this was the name Feng Yuan and the others decided for this city. They had no choice because, although there was no problem with language communication, they couldn’t translate the name accurately.

Feng Yuan and Veronia both understood that the name of the city should be derived from the resilient flower Nash of the Mythical Era. However, due to the language chasm across different eras, they referred to the city by its transliterated name.

For this reason alone, everyone was sure that this parallel world was definitely related to those people. In fact, this thing seemed to be created by them.

As for the changes outside, according to the soldiers’ introductions, this world wasn’t always like this, but had gradually become this way over the past few hundred years. Originally, there wasn’t much difference between this world and the real world, but with the advent of oceanic aberration, those strange oceans and peculiar creatures started to gradually invade this world.

Although these "people" relied on organizational help to establish barriers in various cities and set up multiple isolation zones outside, as time goes by, the battle lines continued to push closer to the cities.

The isolation zones are only temporarily hindering the oceanic aberration’s progress and cannot fully prevent it.

However, Feng Yuan and the others couldn’t find out where the organization’s people were exactly. At least, currently, there were no organizational members present within the city, and they had lost contact with other places due to the isolation zones being successively breached.

Besides this information, some other intelligence was not very useful to Feng Yuan and his group. After resting for a while at a stop provided by the soldiers, Feng Yuan and the others gathered together to discuss their next actions.

"It seems the situation is even worse than I previously thought. This particular area should be out of control. If we cannot find a proper solution, once this parallel world collides with the real world, the consequences will be unimaginable."

After glancing at everyone, Feng Yuan spoke solemnly. He wasn’t exaggerating. Although this parallel space wasn’t overly strong per se, its sheer size meant that even if shattered upon contact, it would bring immense destruction to the real world, potentially causing various regions to suffer severe losses, losing the majority of their land.

It was the first time Qi Chen saw Feng Yuan with such a serious demeanor. After a bit of thought, he asked,

"Then, can we directly destroy this area completely? Since we’re already here, we should be capable of that, right?"

"Theoretically feasible, but we can’t guarantee whether doing so would impact the real world. And before resolving the mutations, doing so could very well let those mutations infiltrate the real world. After all, as long as there’s a sliver, it could pollute the real world."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan replied. If he could, he would love to do it this way. Unfortunately, it’s not possible. The mutation has already taken everyone by surprise. This kind of thing capable of eroding world rules, if unleashed upon the real world without proper handling, would be a massive problem.

"Do you plan to resolve the oceanic mutation first and then destroy this parallel world?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan curiously and asked. After some hesitation, he said,

"If possible, I’d like to preserve this place, but, unfortunately, it’s not possible..."

"Though I don’t know exactly what’s going on with that mutation, I can be certain of one thing: this mutation is directly related to the appearance of the parallel world. After all, under normal circumstances, a parallel world shouldn’t exist."

"Alas, but those people..."

Thinking of those soldiers, the curious residents, Feng Yuan sighed softly. Veronia looked towards Feng Yuan, thinking of something, and said,

"Are you regretting for them?"

"Perhaps, for them, this might be liberation."

"Liberation?"

Not only Feng Yuan but even Qi Chen and the others couldn’t understand why Veronia would say that. The other party chuckled softly, without explanation, simply looking quietly at Feng Yuan.

"What do you know?"

Doubtfully watching Veronia, Feng Yuan was a bit skeptical that the other party could detect clues he hadn’t found, but the other party chuckled and said,

"Well, you’ve also noticed, haven’t you? That little girl, though it seems cruel to her, shouldn’t special people be like this?"

"Little girl?"

Qi Chen and the others all looked at Feng Yuan, feeling like they’d missed something important. Even Agunas didn’t understand what Veronia and Feng Yuan were talking about. Thinking of something, Feng Yuan said,

"If that’s the case, then let’s go look for her now!"

Seeing Feng Yuan stand up, Qi Chen reached out, wanting to speak but ultimately said nothing and silently withdrew his left hand. He felt that it wasn’t a good thing or something to feel happy about.

Qiu Hanmo stroked his chin, thinking he might already have guessed what they were talking about. However, merely knowing didn’t cause any hesitation in him. Compared to most people, they were not important. Moreover, could they really be considered true people?

Watching Feng Yuan’s back, Qiu Hanmo laughed at himself. Perhaps, he was right. It’s very hard for someone like him to have real friends – being too rational isn’t a good thing. But, he could only be like this.

Yang Hongzhi didn’t know that Qiu Hanmo beside him was thinking about those things. Seeing Feng Yuan get up and leave, he hurriedly rose and said,

"Shouldn’t we hurry after them?"

Although the entire city had been besieged for a long time, both the main streets and alleys remained so clean. Except for the cluttered piled-up stuff, there wasn’t a trace of garbage in the alleys.

Feng Yuan didn’t care about these oddities and instead followed his sense, moving towards where the little girl was located.

For some reason, Qi Chen always felt that this alley gave him a strange feeling. Although it looked like one from an ancient city’s alley, there was always a sense of incongruence, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Dou Yanlan’s mood grew heavier as she ran. At this moment, she also realized something. Unlike Qiu Hanmo, a feeling of compassion arose in her heart. Although it didn’t affect her decision, she didn’t snuff it out in its infancy as Qiu Hanmo had.
