Divine Beast Creator

Parallel world? What strange thing is that? According to Agunas and the others’ understanding, the so-called parallel world should be included in the Time River, so how could there be a parallel world outside of the Time River’s control?

"What is it exactly? I don’t quite understand."

Veronia looked suspiciously at Feng Yuan, who was scratching his hair and said after a moment

"Parallel space itself should lie between existence and non-existence, it’s a nearly illusionary thing, so the trial of parallel space doesn’t offer much material reward. However, parallel worlds are different. If the Mirror World or World’s Shadow are projections of reality, parallel worlds are a different evolution of the real world."

Gently tapping his head, Feng Yuan paused and said

"Parallel worlds and parallel spaces are different; they are truly existent spaces, and due to the special nature of parallel spaces, parallel worlds transcend most of the real world’s rules, so you don’t know of their existence because normally they shouldn’t exist."

"Shouldn’t exist?"

Not only Veronia but also Agunas and Tamur looked curiously at Feng Yuan. They didn’t quite understand what he meant by a parallel world that shouldn’t exist. Why?

"The real world already has the World’s Shadow and Yin World; in terms of self-repair, that’s enough. Moreover, parallel worlds themselves can’t be considered a world’s self-repair function. They represent different possibilities for the world, but..."

Rubbing his forehead, Feng Yuan explained while suddenly looking at Agunas, who flicked its tail and said

"Isn’t this the Time River?"

Linking all possibilities with time as the line, this is one of the functions of the Time River. And due to the special nature of the Time River, similar existences shouldn’t appear; otherwise, it could cause disturbances in the Time River.

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said

"The function is somewhat similar, but parallel worlds are more special. Due to their very nature, they aren’t included in the Time River, plus they have complete pseudo-systems, like pseudo-Time Rivers and such."

"This..."

Not only Agunas but even Veronia and Tamur were shocked by Feng Yuan’s words. Especially Tamur, who never thought such a powerful thing existed behind the rules that its authority corresponded to.

Laughing, Feng Yuan lay on the bed and said

"Normally, parallel worlds shouldn’t exist. I believe you know the reason: the amount of world essence is fixed, and protective measures like mirrors and shadows do replicate the real world, but such methods will not replicate structures like the Time River, thus consuming little of the essence."

"However, parallel worlds are entirely different. They can be considered nearly complete worlds, consuming a great amount of essence. That’s why I can’t understand why they appear. Normally, even if they exist, they should be illusionary rather than truly existent."

Slowly closing his eyes, Feng Yuan didn’t continue speaking, and Agunas and the others fell into silence. It was impossible not to—the news was too shocking; they never expected today’s attack to hide such a secret.

After a long time, Agunas recovered from the shock, staring at Feng Yuan incredulously and saying

"You mean this is related to those people?"

"That’s hard to say. As for parallel world, my technology given to them didn’t include related content. Moreover, parallel worlds should hold no significance to them, as they are ultimately incomplete worlds. No matter how perfect they seem, the underlying rules and order are missing." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan saw Agunas seemingly not understanding, thought for a moment and said

"Although parallel worlds sound astonishing, they are always semi-illusionary, semi-real existences. Except for certain special ones, normal life wouldn’t like such places, let alone, those people are normal people."

Nervously flicking its tail, Agunas accepted Feng Yuan’s explanation. However, it couldn’t understand who else besides those people could create parallel worlds.

According to Feng Yuan’s explanation, parallel worlds should belong under Tamur’s authority. All Authority controlled by Divine Beasts would be interfered with by them, so logically, such a great oversight shouldn’t occur.

However, thinking carefully, Agunas realized it’s not impossible.

Tamur is indeed the Divine Beast of the era, and its authority does correspond to parallel spaces and even parallel worlds. However, the era Tamur represents is not the entirety of all eras.

It didn’t forget Feng Yuan’s explanation when opening the parallel space. Tamur can only open the parallel space of the Mythical Era, meaning its authority is incomplete concerning the entire parallel space.

This is normal, just like the authority over time is divided among different Divine Beasts, parallel space authority cannot be wholly controlled by one Divine Beast.

But is this by the modern Divine Beasts?

Yet this seems unlikely, as Agunas couldn’t think of a reason why the Divine Beast representing the modern era would do such a thing.

Regarding Feng Yuan saying he wasn’t sure if it was related to those people, it is due to the semi-illusionary nature of parallel worlds being similar to the Data Domain. Although the Data Domain is highly useful to Beastmasters, normally, except for Data-based Spirit Beasts, even other types of Spirit Beasts don’t like staying in the Data Domain for long, much less humans.

There’s no choice; the rules of the Data Domain differ from reality, such as death and hunger. These differences are changes that the life in the real world cannot adapt to.

Those people are again creatures of the real world; while they might temporarily survive in such a semi-illusionary, semi-real parallel world, for long-term living?

Better forget it; the differences from the real world would make their living very uncomfortable, and there’s no way to change it. After all, attempting to completely transform parallel worlds into reality requires such a large quantity of world essence that they cannot circumvent the World’s Will’s control.

The World’s Will would also not allow the true emergence of parallel worlds, as it would be harmful rather than beneficial to the world itself, given the significant amount of world essence that these things occupy.

Regarding showing different possibilities?

This function is intrinsic to the Time River, with its branches that can display even more possibilities, which parallel worlds cannot achieve.

Unfortunately, even the current semi-illusionary, semi-real parallel world is a very tricky existence for Agunas and the others. Because beyond other issues, they don’t even know how to invade the parallel world internally.

Though Gitalien is the Divine Beast of space, it cannot discern the whereabouts of the parallel world belonging outside the real world.

Looking at Tamur, Agunas asked

"Can you open a passage to the parallel world?"

Tamur didn’t answer immediately. After a while, it shook its body and said

"No, I cannot sense the whereabouts of the parallel world, except for that strange Great Whirlpool."

"Great Whirlpool?"

Not only did Agunas and the others find the word strange, but even Feng Yuan sat up and curiously looked at Tamur. With Tamur’s authority, the Great Whirlpool it perceived must be related to parallel worlds. However, Feng Yuan also couldn’t understand why Tamur sensed a Great Whirlpool instead of parallel worlds.

Shaking its body, Tamur didn’t know how to describe it. Under the expectant gazes, Tamur forced out a sentence with a face of difficulty

"Abyssal Vortex, chaotic, disorderly, twisted, I can’t fully describe it."

"Huh? Is there such a strange thing? Tsk, seems more troublesome than imagined."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan also didn’t comprehend what the Great Whirlpool was. The mention of the Abyss by Tamur indicated it might be something similar.

According to Tamur’s authority, that thing should be the parallel world. However, what kind of situation is this strange external manifestation?

Recalling the bronze eye tentacle, Feng Yuan realized it seemed close to the Abyss. Couldn’t the parallel world be the Abyss? That’s unlikely; who would create such a thing in a normal world, nor is this the level of world for such tricks.

Glancing at Agunas and the others, Feng Yuan shook his head. This matter seems to require investigation. At least as long as it involves the Abyss, even the Divine Beasts must act cautiously.
