Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2151 - 2152: Waiting Across Time

"What exactly is that sacrifice?"

Although Veronia claimed to have seen it before, she was somewhat skeptical, knowing Feng Yuan’s circumstances. Besides, she had no recollection of it whatsoever—perhaps it was merely a coincidental resemblance?

"A special weapon."

Feng Yuan scratched the back of his head and looked at the floating group of buildings in the air with a mysterious expression. He was certain it was connected to him. After all, this thing was not something that the beings of this world could have developed themselves; as for outsiders?

Being outsiders, they wouldn’t and couldn’t have created such a thing because it caused too much commotion and used a very specific form of power.

"Weapon?!"

Veronia and the others looked at Feng Yuan in disbelief; this thing was actually a weapon?!

Nodding slightly, Feng Yuan said

"Indeed, this is a weapon. When these components are assembled together, they can borrow the world’s power through a sacrificial ritual to fight enemies. This thing, I fear..."

For a moment, Feng Yuan couldn’t recall exactly when he taught this thing to the people of the Mythical Era. The greatest difficulty and the most troublesome part was gaining the world’s recognition.

After all, everything else about it was unimportant; what truly mattered was the power of the world borrowed through communication, a force that could ignore the special authority of all Divine Beasts and deal full damage, and because it originated from the world itself, it had no requirements for the user.

Even in the Mythical Era, this could be described as a great weapon of destruction. But what was he thinking when he decided to spread it out back then?

Lightly tapping his own head, Feng Yuan felt a bit of a headache.

It was precisely because he saw this thing that Feng Yuan understood why they were able to venture into the Netherworld and Yin World.

Joking aside, this thing was borrowing the power of the world itself. To open a passage, unless the world itself stopped it, there was hardly anything that could withstand it.

However, it wasn’t entirely bad news. At least Feng Yuan could confirm that this thing was incomplete, or rather, they only built the main part. As for its power, it was roughly only one-third of the complete version.

The Agunas and the others were not as relaxed as Feng Yuan. Knowing that this thing was using the world’s power to fight enemies, they couldn’t help but worry it would be maliciously used.

With their understanding of humans, once they got hold of this thing, it was certain to cause great disorder. However, if they were to destroy it, they were uncertain how Feng Yuan would think of it.

At the very least, putting themselves in their shoes, Agunas and Veronia couldn’t be sure they’d have the heart to destroy this thing, because it wasn’t just a link to the Mythical Era, but also proof of those who followed them and existed.

Even Veronia, after everything she experienced, couldn’t be sure she could really do it.

Slightly shaking her head, Veronia turned her back and gently wiped the corner of her eye with her fingers, saying

"Honestly, even though growth is a good thing, it feels like I can’t be as I used to..."

"What were they trying to accomplish by leaving this thing behind?"

Feng Yuan muttered softly as he gazed at the buildings, though he also felt reluctance. He wouldn’t hesitate much about destroying these things, because... he was already used to it...

However, since these things weren’t usable by ordinary people, Feng Yuan hadn’t immediately considered destroying them.

He had a feeling those people were still in this world, just not in this place.

No matter why he initially decided to teach these things to them, Feng Yuan was sure of one thing: he wouldn’t hand this dangerous thing to unreliable folks.

Feng Yuan believed those who knew of the sacrifice wouldn’t casually spread its information; without the method of usage, even Agunas and the others wouldn’t be able to use it.

"They’re not here; fine, let’s hide this thing for now."

Sighing, Feng Yuan swung the long-handled sickle in his right hand sharply, black runes wrapped in powerful energy entwining the floating group of buildings. Neither Feng Yuan nor Agunas intended to go up and inspect them.

Feng Yuan wasn’t aware he was deliberately avoiding something, while Agunas and the others feared triggering some counterattack method by going up, after all, this thing could definitely be tied to Feng Yuan.

Once this kind of thing counterattacks, its power is not something that ordinary Divine Beasts can compare to; moreover, the main figure is here, so they didn’t want their curiosity to cause any trouble.

"Without a special sacrificial ritual, this thing can’t be used. Keeping it sealed here for now, there’s no need to worry about anyone using it for evil deeds. After all, if you don’t trust me, won’t you trust Him?"

Perhaps thinking of something, Feng Yuan explained. To him, this thing really wasn’t dangerous; without knowing the method, it just looked formidable.

As for accidentally learning how to use it for wicked purposes?

Theoretically possible, but this thing borrows the world’s power, and if one wants to use it for evil deeds, getting past the world itself would be difficult. At least the sacrifice couldn’t forcefully call upon the world’s power.

"I’m going to have them take turns guarding this place. But if possible, could you throw them somewhere else?"

Long Boduo snorted, looking at the ancient buildings wrapped in black runes. If not for Feng Yuan’s words, he wouldn’t have thought this thing was a weapon.

"This, perhaps it doesn’t require special guarding. After all, breaking through my seal isn’t something ordinary people can do. If it weren’t unsuitable, throwing it into Yin World might be even better."

Thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan smiled and said he wasn’t planning to deal with it entirely until he completely understood these matters, given he didn’t know what situation or thoughts those people had.

If it were dangerous, that would be one thing, but regarding the sacrificial ritual, the chances of issues arising were genuinely low. In Feng Yuan’s view, the chances of it causing a big commotion were even lower than the Netherworld Obelisk.

"Next, we’ll be looking for them. Lorna, do you know where they are?"

Looking at the ancient buildings sealed by the runes and once again disappearing into the void, Feng Yuan sighed and asked Lorna beside him.

Agunas paused, surprised as he turned to look at Feng Yuan, saying in disbelief

"You... Do you mean those people are still alive?!"

"I don’t have any evidence, but my intuition is... yes..."

Sighing, Feng Yuan spoke helplessly. Veronia furrowed her brows, thinking of a certain possibility, saying

"Are they remnants of the Mythical Era? But humans don’t have such long lifespans, even Divine Beings shouldn’t be that powerful, right?"

As for avoiding the Great Destruction?

If it were anyone else, she might find it impossible, but given the connection with Feng Yuan, it didn’t seem like a big deal. Unlike Feng Yuan now, Feng Yuan of the Mythical Era didn’t limit his power; thus, even a mere wisp could protect ordinary people from the Great Destruction.

But, regarding lifespan...

"It should be, only I’m unsure why."

Looking at Lorna, Feng Yuan spoke uncertainly. He had a feeling those people hadn’t changed, yet it presented another question—how did they manage it?

His power could never allow humans to have the lifespan akin to Divine Beasts.

Indeed, almost ageless life akin to Divine Beasts, as even ordinary Spirit Beasts didn’t have lifespans capable of sustaining them from the end of the Mythical Era to the present.

The time was simply too long, and no known human means could have enabled any human or Spirit Beast to live that long.

No, it’s not entirely correct.

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan suspiciously looked at Lorna; the other’s Sacred Beast Level strength was right, but there was an issue, which was that the lifespan of a Sacred Beast wasn’t enough to survive from the Mythical Era to the present.

Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Lorna seemed to realize something, hesitated briefly before saying

"Perhaps they, like me, used the power of time to create areas with different time flow rates."

"Using the time difference to falsely extend life? No, it shouldn’t be called extending life; this technique is merely used to wait for something..."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan subconsciously ignored the correct answer. Agunas wagged his tail, looking at Lorna with a mysterious expression. Feng Yuan himself chose to avoid it, but that didn’t mean Agunas and the others couldn’t see something.

Special areas with different speeds of time flow, meaning it’s quite possible that in a specific region, Lorna could spend a day while the outside world moved through a year.

This could indeed allow her to live from the Mythical Era to the present with finite life, but it meant she must isolate herself from the world and witness the passage of time in solitude.

The only reason they would choose this...

Looking at Feng Yuan, Agunas wagged its tail. It didn’t fully understand the matters between Lorna and Feng Yuan in the Mythical Era but realized that what Lorna was searching for was likely him indeed.
