Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2147 - 2148: Interlaced

"Divine Beings... I never imagined that the Mythical Era and our current era could be so different."

He Nanqing muttered to herself, surprised by the vast differences between the Mythical Era and both the modern and ancient times, an era dominated by Divine Beasts and Divine Beings who did not see themselves as human.

She had a strange intuition that those people were likely not Divine Beings.

Although she had never seen them firsthand, the records passed down from that time, though not directly describing them, gave He Nanqing a sense that those people didn’t have the arrogance typically associated with Divine Beings.

Knowing so little about the Mythical Era, she initially didn’t pay much attention. However, from the conversations between Veronia and Feng Yuan, she speculated that Divine Beings might have been on the same level as Divine Beasts during the Mythical Era.

A mere mortal standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods?

If that were true, it would be impossible for the other party to act the way they did, so she speculated that those people were likely just ordinary folks.

Yet, why did those ordinary people possess such strength?

After exchanging information with Feng Yuan, He Nanqing felt that the matters related to Kui Shan Town were particularly troubling, and she couldn’t completely ignore them.

Though Maomu City lay between them, it didn’t mean the events in Kui Shan Town wouldn’t affect the Tea Wood Town Area. Moreover, their ability to force their way into the Netherworld and cause such a stir there meant that, even with Yognot present, the Tea Wood Town Area wasn’t entirely safe.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much she could do, especially since the Goddess had little contact with them back then.

Her gaze unintentionally swept over Agunas, prompting He Nanqing to say,

"Have you ever tried going back to the corresponding point in time?"

"If we don’t know the corresponding era, we have relevant records that might..."

"No need. Time positioning isn’t that complicated. Based on the information from Kui Shan Town, we can still roughly pinpoint the era. However..."

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and shook his head, saying, 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"They’ve already tried. Those people conceal themselves within the Time River, or rather, they are a very special existence, existing within history but leaving no trace upon it."

"What does... that mean?"

Not only He Nanqing but Qi Chen and the others also looked at Feng Yuan, clueless about what he meant. Veronia, however, understood, as Agunas had mentioned this before, although it always made Feng Yuan appear increasingly enigmatic.

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Simply put, those people, though they truly exist, cannot be struck by any ultimate move tracing back through time, because for the past time, they do not exist."

"However, to the world itself, they are indeed real. Strictly speaking, you could consider them beyond the recording capability of the Time River."

Honestly, Feng Yuan did not understand what was going on with those people. To say they were remnant people from the Mythical Era, but this ability was not something the people of the Mythical Era could possess.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Divine Beings didn’t have such abilities.

This is because, normally, the history recognized by the world is that recorded in the Time River, which is why everything described in the Time River can be regarded as the truth.

For the world, if the history in the Time River is altered, the corresponding history, whether true or false, would be regarded as real by the world, and everything thereafter would be corrected to accord with this altered history.

In other words, creating a false history in the Time River to cover true history doesn’t exist; regardless of whether it was initially false, once recorded, it becomes real.

But those people now hidden their existence in the Time River, yet continue to occupy their rightful historical position without being corrected.

This situation is quite similar to Feng Yuan’s, because of Feng Yuan’s uniqueness, once he leaves the current space-time, everything related to him would gradually blur until the trace of his existence no longer points to a specific entity.

With Feng Yuan’s return to any point in the Time River, this blurring will disappear again.

To the Time River, Feng Yuan is a singular entity; no matter what time point he inhabits, no other real him exists in other times.

Similarly, to avoid causing a blurring effect when moving his current time point, Feng Yuan could leave traces, so that even when he is not at any point in the Time River, his presence still occupies a place in the entire Time River.

The situation of those people is similar—they themselves are not within the Time River, but they have a corresponding occupation in the Time River.

Being able to achieve this, not to mention the Divine Beasts and Divine Beings of the Mythical Era, is not something just anyone could do.

This involves the Time River beyond the world itself, which is the Time River within Chaos; only by leveraging that can such an incredible feat be achieved.

It’s beyond belief that those people could possess such power because the Time River of Chaos isn’t something every Tom, Dick, and Harry can touch.

Regrettably, no matter how Feng Yuan recalled, he couldn’t fathom how this matter was connected to him.

Even if Feng Yuan tried his best to explain, Qi Chen and the others still felt muddled and unclear. Dou Yanlan didn’t delve into it too deeply, realizing that being able to achieve this feat was not something for ordinary people.

As for what lay behind it, that was beyond their research; anything involving the Mythical Era and time was never simple.

After checking the information with He Nanqing once again and finding no new leads, Feng Yuan and the others could only temporarily end this information exchange. Whether He Nanqing would get a headache from this was not Feng Yuan’s concern.

Of course, she didn’t blame Feng Yuan either, as she knew something had gone wrong in Kui Shan Town, but she didn’t understand the seriousness of it. Now, having grasped the general situation from Feng Yuan, she could better decide how to arrange security for Tea Wood Town.

Compared to Feng Yuan and his group, He Nanqing, as a Goddess, had the responsibility to protect Tea Wood Town’s safety. Although these incomplete bits of information were troublesome, at least they allowed for preparations in advance.

However, like Feng Yuan, He Nanqing also had an intuition that those people were not dangerous, at least not malicious.

But the absence of malice doesn’t mean they won’t cause danger.

The unintended actions of the gods could be a great disaster for mortals.

As a Goddess, He Nanqing deeply understood this because Yognot was such a special existence. That group might not intend any destruction, but their actions had already impacted the real world significantly.

The emergence of the Netherworld Obelisk was the best example. Although it didn’t cause significant destruction, it still had a substantial impact, mobilizing the Alliance and various regional nations due to this matter.

Kui Shan Town, the final refuge of this group, might conceal something even deeper. If it surfaced, who knew if it would cause great destruction to the surroundings of Maomu City, even if this wasn’t their intention.

While Feng Yuan and the others were exchanging information, Gladys happened to be divining the future with cards.

Even without fully grasping the current situation, Gladys could guess that the dark cloud hanging over everyone was more complicated than it seemed.

"Cannot decipher... That’s really something special."

Looking at the cards she drew, Gladys said with an inexplicable expression, casually picking up a card with her fingers and tapping her chin, saying,

"Anna, what do you think?"

"A future that even the cards cannot divine seems to involve many powerful beings this time around, yet who knows..."

Thinking of the mysterious Lorna, she wondered if it had foreseen anything. At the same time, Gladys was curious as to why the card divination had failed. This had never happened before.

Regardless of the future, the cards could always predict a bit. Now, this complete inability to reach into the future gave her a very odd feeling.

Unfortunately, Gladys didn’t know how to contact Lorna. Otherwise, perhaps they could find out exactly what had happened and why these changes were occurring.

"It feels like something significant is going to happen, but unfortunately, even you can’t do anything about it this time."

Sighing, Gladys looked helplessly at Anna, whose main ability was prophecy, now found herself like those cards, unable to see through the heavy fog enshrouding the future.

In fact, Anna had a strange feeling, that the power involved was very special, special enough to feel somewhat akin to her own power.
