Divine Beast Creator

Qi Chen and the others ultimately decided to follow Feng Yuan’s lead. Although they believed they weren’t strong enough to handle this crisis, after careful consideration, maybe the reason Feng Yuan wanted them to join was to make up the numbers?

At least, in certain situations, having more people is more important than sheer strength. Moreover, with the help of Mythical Transformation, they weren’t entirely without the power to strike.

Just as Qi Chen and the others were preparing their belongings, someone unexpected appeared at Feng Yuan’s dormitory door.

"I’m curious, why did you come to find me? Or rather, why are you certain that I definitely know what you want to know?"

Looking at Captain Yang and Meng Binglan standing outside the door, Feng Yuan was a bit surprised. Captain Yang’s presence was already quite unusual, let alone Meng Binglan. As a researcher, although her results were not satisfactory, it wasn’t her fault.

To abandon the current Spirit Beast system and develop new weapons and technological routes, it’s impressive she and a few like-minded individuals have come this far. For this reason, Meng Binglan had scarcely contacted Feng Yuan, and he never expected her to show up here.

"It seems you do know something. I came to find you because the likelihood of you being involved in this matter is very high."

Staring at Feng Yuan, Captain Yang spoke calmly. Although he wanted to say it was up to their specialized personnel to handle such dangerous matters, he understood well that their so-called specialists had no solutions when faced with these extraordinary incidents.

"You’ve guessed right. Alright, there’s still some time, so I’ll tell you about the current situation. Whether or not you decide to send people to follow is up to you. However, personally, I don’t recommend sending too many, because I don’t need them on my side."

Glancing at Captain Yang, Feng Yuan turned back to the living room while speaking. He could naturally guess Captain Yang’s purpose: simply to understand the truth behind the anomaly. As for bringing people to explore the Great Whirlpool?

Feng Yuan did consider letting Captain Yang’s people replace Qi Chen and the others. However, after thinking it over, he decided to prioritize Qi Chen and his team.

Not because they were friends, but because Feng Yuan was more familiar with Qi Chen’s fighting style and abilities. It wasn’t that Captain Yang’s team was weaker; rather, Feng Yuan just didn’t know them well enough.

Even though they hadn’t formally entered the Great Whirlpool yet, Feng Yuan could already guess that the place wouldn’t be simple. Setting foot there without Divine Beasts might pose considerable challenges.

If Divine Beasts were the main force, then the others would only help to hold off enemies. Base strength wasn’t that important since they weren’t responsible for the main offensive.

However, cooperating with strangers could be troublesome if multi-person actions were needed, not that it was impossible to disregard this, but since Captain Yang came, it made sense to pull him in for assistance.

After listening to Feng Yuan, Captain Yang and Meng Binglan got a rough idea of the situation. Despite Feng Yuan intentionally avoiding mention of Tamur’s Authority, both of them vaguely sensed something.

"The Parallel World exceeds the Divine Beasts’ Authority, so they can’t directly destroy it, right?"

Meng Binglan looked at Feng Yuan and asked before Feng Yuan could say anything. Captain Yang looked surprised at Meng Binglan, not expecting her to be so blunt as to directly contemplate total destruction.

"Well, theoretically feasible, but very difficult. Because the Parallel World occupies a large amount of the world’s origin, forcefully destroying it could cause tremendous impacts on the real world. Plus, we don’t know what it’s like there. Investigations should rely on Divine Beasts primarily, with ordinary people assisting, and unless technology can operate independently of world rules, it’s useless."

Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said helplessly. He wasn’t bothered by Meng Binglan’s question, as prioritizing destruction of potentially catastrophic entities was reasonable and might be the optimal solution without overweighing pros and cons.

Destroying it mercilessly, balancing potential gains against harm to one’s side, is, in some sense, the least harmful approach, provided the subsequent destructive impact can be managed.

"Technology is useless? What if I can swiftly analyze the altered world rules?"

"Useless. The specific situation in that area is uncertain. If it’s really similar to the Abyss, analyzing the rules is courting death. Such polluted rules might not even allow ordinary people a chance for rescue when they come into contact."

Looking at Meng Binglan, Feng Yuan warned coldly. He genuinely worried Meng Binglan might secretly research the rules of the Parallel World. If it weren’t for the appearance of the Bronze Eye Tentacle, he might not have been so concerned.

But its appearance proved the complexity of the Parallel World, possibly indicating its internal rules were already chaotic. Analyzing these distorted world rules?

Even Agunas might not dare to do so. It’s too dangerous; a slight mistake could lead to contamination by distorted world rules.

"Is that area very dangerous?"

Captain Yang, who had remained silent, stopped Meng Binglan from speaking further and turned to Feng Yuan, asking. Nodding, Feng Yuan said

"The exact situation is unknown, but I suspect it’s not that simple. I don’t know if you’ve read the report on potion differentiation. I suspect that variation is related to the Parallel World."

"You mean, the abnormal differentiation phenomenon is related to the Parallel World?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. It didn’t doubt whether Feng Yuan was joking, as he had never messed around with such serious matters.

However, it didn’t quite understand how this abnormal differentiation phenomenon was connected to the Parallel World.

"Possibly. Parallel Worlds are worlds proceeding in different directions from the real world. Perhaps, in that Parallel World, Spirit Beasts don’t exist, leading to a future born out of a world without Spirit Beasts. Generally, such possible changes appear only in the Time River; directly manifesting half-real, half-illusory isn’t a natural phenomenon."

Saying a simple explanation, Feng Yuan didn’t elaborate much, chiefly because explaining it would be troublesome. This concept was similar to the time branches of the Time River.

Except that the streams of the Time River have never been materialized, they are merely virtual possibilities, and only when necessary are they realized into reality by harnessing the power of the Yin World.

Parallel Worlds are different, as they are future possibilities under different circumstances. When they intersect with the real world, they naturally cause various anomalies, as for differentiation and binary separation; Feng Yuan saw them as normal phenomena, as for the real world and Parallel World, it’s just differing attributes separating one existence.

"You mean that the Parallel World has already caused anomalies in our world?"

Captain Yang was startled, his expression serious, as he asked Feng Yuan, who spread his hands and said

"I can’t say for sure if this matter is connected to the Parallel World, only that the likelihood is high. Furthermore, the Parallel World is inherently part of this world; your statement lacks precision."

"If you plan to join us, you’d better prepare quickly. We’re departing this afternoon. That place may not offer easy return access."

"Oh, and be sure to follow the Divine Beasts when going there; otherwise, I won’t be responsible if something goes wrong."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan spoke without further caring for Captain Yang and the others. After all, it’s a school dorm, and Feng Yuan had left nothing untoward here.

Seeing Feng Yuan get up and go back to his room, Captain Yang pondered whether to accompany Feng Yuan to explore the Parallel World.

Given Feng Yuan’s warning, Captain Yang was certain that this action prioritized Divine Beasts, placing them as team leaders. Even if he called in people, it wouldn’t make much difference.

As for following them, aside from obtaining first-hand information, it wasn’t significant. Feng Yuan’s attitude made it clear that sending people wasn’t a necessity on their part.

Since that’s the case...

"Sigh, although it feels inappropriate, it’s the only choice. Will you join their operation?"

Sighing, Captain Yang decided not to follow Feng Yuan’s team because they would not play a crucial role there. Instead, staying behind and using the intelligence provided by Feng Yuan might allow them to implement some countermeasures.
