Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2142 - 2143: Unable to Determine

Due to the anomaly happening in the Netherworld, during the remaining time of the National Day holiday, Feng Yuan could only stroll around the city. He didn’t even consider Cha Mu Town, as it’s quite far from Kui Shan Town; Cha Mu Town is in the north and Kui Shan Town is in the south, so if something happens, he couldn’t make it in time.

Midway, Feng Yuan deliberately took Xiao Ji to Liantang Town to play with water, perhaps sensing Feng Yuan’s depression, Xiao Ji, although not very happy, pretended to be cheerful.

After discussing, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan decided to accompany Feng Yuan around the city during this time under suitable conditions, believing it was the only thing they could do.

Feng Yuan understood their intentions but had no intention of persuading them otherwise, after all, it’s their goodwill, isn’t it?

As autumn deepened, the children playing in the water in Liantang Town also abandoned the chilly water, opting for other amusements. Feng Yuan walked leisurely with Xiao Ji and others outside Liantang Town.

Compared to the beginning of the National Day, Liantang Town has now returned to its usual quietness. As the holiday is almost over, travelers hurry back, let alone that Maomu City hasn’t entirely concealed the crisis at Kui Shan Town.

If people are moved out of Kui Shan Town without any explanation, the resulting public opinion crisis might be more terrifying than completely disclosing the situation.

Even now, many are speculating about what kind of accident befell Kui Shan Town. Fortunately, although some people’s minds are unsettled, it remains within a controllable range.

This has led to a significant decrease in tourists in Liantang Town, which is relatively closer to Kui Shan Town. In such times, naturally, no one would voluntarily approach danger.

Agunas’ investigation result on the Thousand Layer Cavern showed no changes; the cavern seemed unconnected to the Netherworld anomaly. Feng Yuan could only speculate that it might have been something casual by that group back then.

On the contrary, the retrieval of the Netherworld Obelisk revealed numerous problems. At least Long Boduo and others discovered these overlooked anomalies for the first time.

Initially, including Feng Yuan, everyone believed the Netherworld Obelisks fell from the corresponding Netherworld region in the Omeilia Region. Although normally, the Netherworld and the real world correspond one-to-one in location, distortions can occur. In such cases, the same area but different positions can have vastly different coordinates in the real world.

However, this time, due to the need to mark and seal these Netherworld Obelisks in the Netherworld, when they threw the obelisks back, they were shocked to find the obelisks were not originating from the corresponding area in the Omeilia Region.

In other words, the coordinate correspondence between the Netherworld and the real world hadn’t experienced a misalignment twist.

Yet, Netherworld Obelisks are natural creations; forget humans, even Long Boduo would cause a huge commotion trying to create so many Netherworld Obelisks.

However, the Netherworld Divine Beasts have never sensed such an obvious anomaly, implying that the obelisks were possibly relocated from the Netherworld’s Omeilia Region by that group back then. But why did they do it?

Even Feng Yuan couldn’t understand; Long Boduo and others couldn’t figure out who moved the Netherworld Obelisks everywhere and for what purpose.

As for why it wasn’t discovered earlier?

It’s simple; their patrols always focused on suspicious forces using perception, and the obelisks seemed no different from roadside pebbles in their perception. Who would pay attention to whether roadside pebbles are unusual without necessity?

Although this matter puzzled them for a while, they weren’t too surprised. Through the Mist Demon hidden within the Netherworld Obelisks, they had already guessed that tampering had occurred long ago. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The recent discovery only proves that the obelisks were secretly moved from the Omeilia Region in the Netherworld long ago.

But what they couldn’t understand is why those people exerted so much effort to do this?

Although Netherworld Obelisks aren’t immobile, moving them such a distance isn’t an easy task.

The Netherworld’s internal space, without considering multilayered structures, corresponds one-to-one with the real world’s main spatial layer. Meaning what they did is akin to moving a pile of giant stones to another area in the real world.

Even without the interstitial Starlit Sea that divides regions in the real world, such a long distance isn’t easy to cross even today.

Since this involves the Netherworld, all regions’ Divine Beasts, including Lorraine Tower, have taken action to investigate. Surprisingly, when Lorraine Tower tried to trace back time using the Time River, they couldn’t find any trace of their existence.

Hiding within the traces of time isn’t something humans can accomplish. Even Quine and their kind resorted to using traps to hinder Lorraine Tower’s ability to trace back time, unlike that group who vanished in actual time.

The Divine Beasts, alert to the existence only recorded in residual traces, realized the other party was far from simple.

Feng Yuan, on the other hand, didn’t wish to investigate further since if they couldn’t trace them back in the Time River, their strength might have transcended this world.

Such beings might have spent a long time setting traps; it’s not entirely impossible, just unlikely.

"The weather is getting cold fast, hope that matter can be resolved soon."

Looking at the desolate stream, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but sigh. Agunas flicked its tail and said

"Do you think this matter is without danger?"

Turning to meet Agunas’ gaze, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said

"I don’t believe you can’t see it; beings that can vanish in time wouldn’t patiently lay out plans just to cause trouble later."

"But it might also be an accident."

Agunas said meaningfully while looking at Feng Yuan. Of course, it hoped no incident would occur, but it couldn’t be sure whether this incident linked to Feng Yuan; after all, it ostensibly had nothing to do with him, yet all knew it involved him.

It’s not precisely correct, but within the range of power, it coincidentally overlaps with Feng Yuan. If an unintentional act with powers originating from Feng Yuan caused the absence of traces in the Time River, it would make sense.

However, although Agunas and others knew this suspicion, they couldn’t confirm it, as Feng Yuan himself confirmed no power loss, leaving them puzzled about the situation.

"An accident, huh... hard to say."

This time, Feng Yuan wasn’t as certain as before; the clues indeed pointed to him, disregarding external influences, but where did he overlook?

Feng Yuan knew the impact his powers could have on this world, so he always restrained himself while using them.

In his current state, even if he went all out, it wouldn’t cause such lasting effects, such abilities existing only before he imposed restrictions long ago.

But... that was so long ago.

"Well, better not dwell on it; we don’t have a method for now anyway."

Sighing, Feng Yuan shook his head, taking Xiao Ji and others to the brook. Compared to a few days ago, in just a few days, Liantang Town now bore a trace of autumn desolation.

Of course, the sudden drop in temperature was a reason too; at least now Feng Yuan needed to wear an extra coat when going out.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, sparking flames on its body, stood away from the stream silently watching, sensing Feng Yuan’s recent unhappiness. Unlike Xiao Ji, it recently joined the group and wasn’t sure how to comfort Feng Yuan.

However, Big Cat understood Feng Yuan well, coaxing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound to approach him, as Feng Yuan enjoyed its fur’s texture.

But at this time, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound really disliked being close to the water, and even with Big Cat howling nearby, it pretended not to hear.

Casually picking up Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked at a distant hill and said

"Let’s go take a look there; now that the water’s receding, we can check out the well～"

None rejected Feng Yuan’s proposal; Qi Chen remembered something and asked

"Do we need to borrow a boat? I remember that’s a wading area."

"Hmm, maybe."

Glancing at Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound beside him, Feng Yuan smiled and said.
