Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1176 - 1177: Promise

"This is not absolute."

Lorraine Tower looked at the One-leaf Fox and said, the fox blinked with some confusion, not quite understanding what the other meant, Lorraine Tower gently tapped the forehead of the One-leaf Fox and said

"Escaping the repetitive cycle of the Time Loop is not impossible."

"That’s easier said than done, I don’t think it has the capability to break the Time Loop; the power required is not ordinary, does it really have that capability?"

Looking at the One-leaf Fox, Feng Yuan expressed his doubts, breaking the Time Loop is not impossible, but extremely difficult. It is easier when returning to the past since one can consciously change the past and end up finding a way out. However, arriving from the future is different; if not resolved promptly before the fabricated future’s moment, one must either choose to return to the past to form a Time Loop, or be destroyed by intense conflict.

"I can consider helping you."

Looking at the One-leaf Fox, Lorraine Tower spoke calmly, looked at Lorraine Tower again, the One-leaf Fox stuck out its tongue, licked Lorraine Tower’s hand and whimpered a few times, Feng Yuan looked at Lorraine Tower with some surprise and said

"How come you... offer help proactively?"

Lorraine Tower is not one to be idle like him, although it has plenty of rest time, it still has a lot of work to do when busy. Moreover, matters involving time should not be promised casually; the difficulties that come with them are unpredictable.

Moreover, this One-leaf Fox has gained power from a fabricated future, now it must either choose to purge that power, or find a proper opportunity before it returns to its past time point to rationalize the source of that power. However, neither choice is easy to make, especially rationalizing it; Feng Yuan hasn’t thought of any good solution yet.

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Lorraine Tower said calmly

"In this matter, I have made my own decision, although, that may not be me."

Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan understood the meaning; similar to that time in the Emerald Ruins within the temporal turbulence, it wasn’t exactly himself. An existence that transcends time has only one true self, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist at other time points. Those figures are both them and not them; once they leave their timeline, all the figures belonging to them on this line will gradually disappear.

It’s very likely that in that fictitious future, the figure of Lorraine Tower somehow helped the One-leaf Fox, enabling it to surpass the uncertain limitations of that unreal future, and brought it to the present.

The boy looked at the One-leaf Fox worryingly. Although he didn’t understand what exactly Feng Yuan and Lorraine Tower were discussing, he knew his One-leaf Fox was definitely in big trouble. As for whether this One-leaf Fox was indeed his companion? He could still recognize it; whether it was the sincere emotions or the familiar gestures, he could clearly identify that it was indeed his good companion.

"I think you should explain to him."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said helplessly, upon realizing he couldn’t understand what Feng Yuan and Lorraine Tower were discussing, he gave up on trying to decipher their words. Not just him, even Dou Yanlan didn’t quite understand matters involving time, and he was well aware that trying to grasp them was self-torment.

Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan shook his head and said

"It’s complicated to explain this thing clearly, but it seems like he doesn’t understand..."

With a sigh, Feng Yuan briefly explained the issues encountered by the One-leaf Fox. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s account, the boy understood what troubles the One-leaf Fox was facing, but...

Looking at Lorraine Tower, the boy was doubtful whether the other could truly help the One-leaf Fox. Perceiving the boy’s odd gaze, Feng Yuan said speechlessly

"You really are bold, but that’s also true, if not bold, how would you choose it as your Beast Tamer."

Seeing the boy’s puzzled look, Feng Yuan glanced at the expressionless Lorraine Tower and chuckled quietly.

"Ordinary people rarely dare to look at Lorraine Tower like that, considering it is such a well-known Divine Beast. I didn’t expect you... Eh? What’s wrong with you?"

Speaking of which, Feng Yuan noticed that the boy’s complexion had completely changed, which surprised him, causing him to freeze. The boy sneakily glanced at Lorraine Tower, hesitating and not knowing how to apologize. Was this black-haired middle-aged man the Divine Beast Lorraine Tower? Not a coincidence in name? How could this be?! Gitalien glanced at Feng Yuan and said

"Ordinary people wouldn’t know that we can take on human forms, so it’s not strange that he didn’t recognize us. Rather, it would be weird if they did recognize us."

Even if the other party is a descendant of a prominent family, it would still be the same. Although they weren’t exactly secretive about it, they won’t overtly advertise their ability to take human forms. Besides fearing the wrath of the Divine Beasts, there’s also no need; their human forms are not permanently fixed and can be changed as needed, so sharing this wouldn’t make much sense.

Looking for an opportunity to meet a Divine Beast? That might be wishful thinking; those Divine Beasts wouldn’t treat you differently just because you recognize them. Moreover, if they appeared in human form, planning something secret, and got called out, they are more likely to get angry with them instead.

"That’s also true, those with human forms seldom interact with humans."

Nodding, Feng Yuan agreed and looked expressionlessly at the boy, Lorraine Tower said,

"I’m aware of its situation. Currently, there isn’t a particularly good solution, but I’ll try to help resolve this issue when the opportunity arises."

As Lorraine Tower stood up, looking towards Gitalien, he said,

"Let’s go, those people probably haven’t gone far."

Shrugging, Gitalien glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"I was hoping to freeload a lunch, seems impossible now. Enjoy your fun."

Although Gitalien didn’t ask what Feng Yuan was doing here, couldn’t they tell that a banquet was being held? If Feng Yuan was at a banquet venue, what else could he be there for if not as a guest? That guy surely wouldn’t be interested in hosting any banquets himself, although, if it were tailored for Xiao Ji and the others, it couldn’t be said for sure; after all, his attitude towards those Spirit Beasts wasn’t too good, and it’s not impossible for him to engage in activities he dislikes for their sake.

Glancing at Kong Qing, Gitalien opened a Space Gate with Lorraine Tower, and leaving could actually be a good thing for the young one to stay by Feng Yuan’s side, albeit there seems to be a trend of Feng Yuan acting as a nanny.

Although it was a bit strange what Gitalien’s final look meant, Kong Qing soon put it out of mind as its tail casually swung Pomiti around. Unbeknownst why, Pomiti who was heading towards the nearby crowd turned back. Big Cat, while munching on its food, noticed Pomiti colliding towards it and whined softly, spreading its wings to stop Pomiti and using Telekinesis to place it on its head, Big Cat pointed at the food on a nearby long table, calling towards Kong Qing.

Big Cat didn’t understand the situation with the One-leaf Fox and couldn’t be bothered to care. After all, it wasn’t one of Feng Yuan’s Spirit Beasts, so why bother about it rather than checking out more excellent food still around, since Feng Yuan wouldn’t have them face these incomprehensible issues anyway?

Glancing at Xiao Ji who was closely following behind Feng Yuan, Big Cat showed a look of disdain mixed with a hint of envy, whereas Kong Qing didn’t feel much about it; it was mostly grateful to Feng Yuan, dependent... perhaps, but not too intensively, as it was well adapted to living alone in the wild as a lone snake for years.

"So it was for him, huh? Indeed, even descendants of prestigious human families can encounter miracles sometimes~"

After hearing the intelligence that Agunas had ’gathered’ from the One-leaf Fox, Feng Yuan nodded and said, while the boy beside them looked worriedly at the One-leaf Fox, unaware of what the future holds or why it would seek Lorraine Tower, even at great cost to return to the past.

Seeing the pitiful state of the One-leaf Fox, which kept its eyes closed, hugging its head with both front paws and giving a whining sound as if unwilling to say more, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and said,

"Look at you, can’t you be a bit gentler to it?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas swished its tail and couldn’t be bothered to respond. This guy wasn’t so diplomatic when it came to gathering intelligence, though he didn’t vocalize it, those implications suggested he wanted the whole truth to be unearthed.
