Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2146 - 2147: Another Clue

"Sometimes, you really can’t deny the existence of fate~"

Back in Liantang Town, Veronia teased Feng Yuan with a quirky smile, and Feng Yuan scratched his head, unsure how to refute. He couldn’t have guessed that a casual walk would lead him to clues related to those people.

Fate? Why?

Feng Yuan really couldn’t recall doing anything that could have sparked such a change.

Was it truly unrelated to him?

Yet, why does he always encounter things related to them?

Is it fate? Or entangled threads of destiny?

Unconsciously, Feng Yuan remembered something Veronia once said.

The careless actions of gods can affect a mortal’s life...

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan decided not to dwell on it anymore; for now, they had only found some clues. As for the true origins of the people from Kui Shan Town, that would require further investigation.

At least according to the current intelligence, the cultural heritage left by those people has dwindled significantly, and the people of Kui Shan Town have only inherited a small portion.

The truly powerful aspects, they didn’t possess. As long as it’s not a plan spanning thousands of years, there shouldn’t be any major trouble...

Carrying this concern, Feng Yuan and the others didn’t stay longer in Liantang Town. They couldn’t have foreseen that this place would bear traces left by those people. Although there wasn’t any danger, Feng Yuan worried that if he lingered, he might stumble upon something else.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan noticed Feng Yuan’s bad mood, so they quietly followed him until Feng Yuan emerged from his thoughts and realized he had somehow wandered to the entrance of the Cha Mu Specialty Town in Maomu City.

Wait!

Suddenly, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up with an idea. While he might not have much understanding of other Divine Beasts, he believed that Drudgeon and He Nanqing might know something about this.

After all, those people weren’t only lurking around Kui Shan Town as he had thought, not to mention the relics in Liantang Town weren’t something that could be created in a short time.

Regarding Feng Yuan’s idea, Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Drudgeon doesn’t know the origins of those people. Though it has a good relationship with Yognot, it hasn’t always been stationed in Cha Mu Town."

Being a Divine Beast, Drudgeon hasn’t lost its duties like Veronia. Even though Drudgeon spends most of its time in Cha Mu Town, it still needs to travel elsewhere to handle affairs related to lost knowledge.

So compared to Drudgeon, Feng Yuan believed that the Goddess had a higher chance of being involved in these matters.

It’s worth noting that during the Dynasty Era, with the backing of Yognot, the Goddess could easily gather intelligence from nearby areas. Even the people from Kui Shan Town probably wouldn’t underestimate her.

And the Goddess’s lineage hasn’t faced any issues. If there had been contact between the people of Kui Shan Town and her, Feng Yuan was sure He Nanqing would have relevant records.

With these thoughts, Feng Yuan headed straight for the gates of the Cha Mu Specialty Town.

Impatient, Feng Yuan didn’t change his attire according to the rules; he showed his identification and barged in. Of course, he didn’t intend to cause trouble for the staff; instead, he asked them to inform He Nanqing and slipped into a teahouse.

Though it was near the end of the National Day holiday, many tourists were still wandering through the city. When they saw this group in modern attire rushing in, they stopped to catch a glimpse of what was happening.

After Feng Yuan and the others disappeared into a teahouse, many began speculating on what could have led that group to charge in so hurriedly.

During this time, various rumors began to emerge.

He Nanqing wasn’t in Cha Mu Specialty Town. When she received the report from there, she found it odd since she knew about Drudgeon’s departure to guard Kui Shan Town. It had informed her and Yognot before leaving.

Precisely because of this, she returned to the village to protect the entire Tea Wood Town Area, but she didn’t expect Feng Yuan to have urgent matters to discuss with her.

She didn’t refuse but asked little Yognot to watch for anomalies in Cha Mu Town, then traveled to Maomu City using a specialized Flying Spiritual Beast.

Even if Feng Yuan did nothing else, merely drinking tea had drawn considerable attention. Luckily, most tourists refrained from approaching him, allowing him to contemplate the matters of Kui Shan Town.

"Does He Nanqing really know any important intel?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and quietly asked Dou Yanlan, feeling a sense of incredulity. After all, Cha Mu Town and Kui Shan Town were at opposite ends, north and south, both under Maomu City, but separated by quite a distance.

Dou Yanlan pondered this before saying,

"It’s hard to say. The lineage of the Goddess is quite unique. Some information, even if it’s recorded in texts, might not be clearly articulated."

Because Agunas is nearly always by Feng Yuan’s side, Dou Yanlan also realized the deficiency in its authority. Though Agunas can understand all historical texts by ignoring linguistic barriers, it can’t decipher encrypted information or codes to obtain authentic records.

That means, if their texts included codes known only to insiders, and those codes weren’t documented, Agunas wouldn’t grasp the information in those texts.

Therefore, He Nanqing might indeed know details about the people of Kui Shan Town. However, Dou Yanlan considered another point: if He Nanqing were aware, why didn’t she disclose it?

Like Feng Yuan, He Nanqing, as the Goddess, naturally enjoyed privileges. At least when it comes to riding Spiritual Beasts to reach Maomu City’s urban area, she didn’t need to wait for an application approval.

With the help of the Flying Spiritual Beast, He Nanqing soon arrived at Cha Mu Specialty Town and found Feng Yuan in the teahouse. She strode forward and asked,

"What happened that you need my assistance?"

"What else could it be? About Kui Shan Town, do you have any information?"

With a reluctant smile, Feng Yuan spoke as he invited He Nanqing to sit down. During their conversation, Feng Yuan guided He Nanqing to recall some of the more elusive details.

He assumed He Nanqing might not possess any overly direct information. Given her deep ties to Maomu City’s authority, if there were straightforward details, she would’ve shared them with the authorities.

Yet through Feng Yuan’s guidance, they realized that even He Nanqing didn’t have much precise information, though some clues were indeed confirmed.

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said,

"So, what we can currently ascertain is that those people indeed came from elsewhere and were looking for something, ultimately choosing to settle in the vicinity of Kui Shan Town."

"However, there’s one issue; based on the records from the Goddesses who interacted with them, they seem somewhat out of place in this world?"

Narrowing his eyes, Feng Yuan inexplicably thought of Veronia. Humans surviving from the Mythical Era through thousands of years? Is that... possible?

If they were Divine Beings, where did they go afterward?

At least according to the information provided by He Nanqing, their final resting place was Kui Shan Town. After a certain point in time, they vanished with no record from the world.

Given that Kui Shan Town is remote from Cha Mu Town and their power posed a significant threat to the Goddess of that era, there wasn’t much interaction with them from Cha Mu Town.

The clues left behind were scarce; however, the audacious expedition of Kui Shan Town into the Netherworld was indeed recorded. And with Feng Yuan’s assistance, He Nanqing recalled its forgotten original name set by those people.

Huai Mountain...

Feng Yuan didn’t see it as mere coincidence; those people were perhaps deeply connected with the Netherworld.

Yet...

The Netherworld, to be precise, emerged post the Mythical Era’s downfall, so why were they tied to it?

Sighing deeply, Veronia whispered,

"Didn’t expect to hear about them again, but could they be Divine Beings?"

Agunas didn’t respond, surprised to receive news possibly related to Mythical Era descendants shortly after. And unlike Kastantos, Huai... Wood Ghosts, they were somehow linked to the Netherworld?

However...

"It’s quite troublesome."

Feng Yuan gently tapped his head with a clenched fist, feeling increasingly perplexed by the situation.
