Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2276 - 2277: Unexpected Destruction
Unlike Feng Yuan and the others, who occasionally act themselves, Qi Chen and his group only command their Beast Tamers to attack; she, on the other hand, continuously summons various weapons to bombard the oncoming Mechanical Sentinels.
The commotion on this side naturally caught the attention of that group, but they didn’t care much about it, knowing the situation in the Parallel World and understanding that it’s unlikely an external attack.
Furthermore, she had done similar things in the past, so they weren’t concerned about the commotion here, as those things wouldn’t stop her; as for the damaged Mechanical Sentinels.
Although the Parallel World cannot spontaneously create objects identical to those of the real world, with complete materials, it can use existing materials for repairs. Moreover, the materials used to produce Mechanical Sentinels aren’t particularly precious, and despite the damage, they still have a considerable stockpile of materials.
Compared to that person causing trouble again, they have more urgent matters to resolve.
Teaming up, those Mechanical Sentinels didn’t endure for long before being successfully broken through by Feng Yuan and the others, penetrating the defense zone’s interior. Feng Yuan swung the Black Scythe in his hand and discovered no new enemies had appeared here.
"Didn’t they notice us?"
Looking at her, Feng Yuan asked somewhat confusedly, slightly bowing as she spoke,
"Perhaps, they simply don’t have the energy to watch us. After all, to them, the Devouring World’s darkness and the recently disrupted balance are the greatest troubles."
"The Devouring World’s darkness? Are you referring to that dark region? By the way, do you know anything about that thing? And what is this disrupted balance?"
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask. Behind him, Qi Chen and the others also curiously listened intently.
She looked at the earthen path situated in the woods ahead and said,
"The Devouring World’s darkness is the consequence of Zhu Milly and the others’ failed research. Although we’ve consistently engaged in forbidden research on life, their radical action created a monster unbound by the world."
"After devouring an entire world’s pseudo-life, it has begun to trend towards physical manifestation, launching invasions on surrounding worlds. Although we can still manage to control it for now, we all know that complete control failure is inevitable."
Sighing, she walked in front and dared not look at Feng Yuan behind, for she too participated in taboo research on life; the aim of this research wasn’t anything else, but to allow the Parallel World to birth true life.
Unfortunately, they didn’t realize the Parallel World itself is incomplete; no matter how much they struggled, within the framework of the world, they couldn’t exceed the world’s inherent capacity limits to create a complete Parallel World.
Walking slowly forward, she continued,
"Initially, when the Devouring World’s darkness was born, we had already sealed this world; but perhaps, by luck, I dropped a signal beacon at our former resting point."
"Though it’s unclear who activated that beacon, recently, the activated beacon brought people here and simultaneously broke our seal on this world."
She showed a bitter smile as she added,
"But even without their accidental entry, we wouldn’t have lasted much longer; as that thing completely loses control, the seal will inevitably fail."
"So, you had previously sealed this Parallel World? Hmm, does that mean the internal changes have been happening long before?"
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan looked at her and asked, this question wasn’t only what Feng Yuan cared about; even Agunas and the others were very concerned. If troubles arose long ago...
"The seal has lasted hundreds if not thousands of years. I can’t recall anymore."
With a bewildered expression, she mumbled, then slapped her forehead, while Feng Yuan said helplessly,
"That’s really just bad luck."
Although the possibility of them lying exists, Feng Yuan and Agunas believe they wouldn’t do such a meaningless thing.
She seemingly didn’t expose Feng Yuan’s identity, or perhaps through current contact, she didn’t show utmost respect toward Feng Yuan directly, but whether it’s Agunas or Feng Yuan, they understood this was intentional.
Because she had realized Feng Yuan didn’t wish for his identity to be revealed, and as for how she figured it out or knew, Feng Yuan couldn’t understand.
Since she holds respect for Feng Yuan, it’s unlikely she’d lie about such matters, as it would be pointless for her.
Given this matter’s prolonged history, naturally, it appears less related to Feng Yuan, considering he hasn’t existed in the real world for that long.
"Wait, the beacon activation? What is that thing?"
Veronia noticed an issue and suspiciously looked at her; although uncertain, it somehow felt that they had never seen such a beacon.
"That is a plea device originally sealed at a place of farewell, and recently it was somehow activated. Regrettably, those who arrived via the beacon were not the He we were expecting."
Sighing, she said somewhat helplessly, although Feng Yuan eventually arrived, those prior people indeed caught them off guard.
But also, due to the activation of the beacon and breaking of the seal, Feng Yuan and his companions discovered this place, otherwise, considering Feng Yuan’s previous actions, he wouldn’t have found this site so soon.
"So, where are those people? Where are they?"
Veronia curiously asked; their words confirmed one thing, that indeed someone other than Feng Yuan and his group activated the beacon. However, this was rather odd, since according to their intelligence, nothing significant had occurred over at Kui Shan Town.
"Regulation area; they should be in that place now. Although I set the beacon originally, I hadn’t anticipated this situation, so the beacon’s destination is the Creation District, and they likely have been detained in the regulation area."
She thoughtfully replied, with Feng Yuan furrowing his brows; the regulation area couldn’t have been for the one triggering the beacon, so what was the initial purpose of that thing?
Before Feng Yuan could continue asking, a massive city appeared before everyone, remarkably similar to the unpopulated city they saw before.
However, compared to that city, this one had a tinge of antiquity, and the pedestrians walking the streets added a bit of life to the city.
Standing outside the city, the few inevitably became the focus of nearby passersby, but fortunately, they seemed accustomed to these strangely dressed newcomers, only glancing a few more times before continuing without pause.
"Hmm, this change doesn’t feel significant."
Comparing this city with the empty city they saw before, Feng Yuan found the differences between the two cities rather small, with only minimal changes.
If that person replicated the city she once lived in, then the present city compared to that one must have lasted some time.
"Development has stagnated; relying solely on past glory cannot create a new history."
She said lightly, with inevitable sadness; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so eager to attempt letting this Parallel World truly encompass everything from the real world.
Alas, before the World Level advances, all this remains but wishful thinking.
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said nothing; observing this, the Mythical Era survivors were only that group, without other civilizations mixed in; but that’s also incorrect, as some aspects seemed inexplicable.
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan didn’t dwell on this topic, feeling there were many unresolved issues, but the priority task is resolving the placement matter for these people.
He just glanced a moment ago; these people seemed little problematic, and unlike her, emitting a strong scent of sins, the passersby looked no different from ordinary people.
Except for somewhat different clothing, and differing language, their difference from real-world people isn’t significant.
This indeed was good news; at least Feng Yuan didn’t need to worry about placing them. Without the scent of sins, Agunas and the others could help, and even if other Divine Beasts had opinions, they have a rationale for opposition.
Feng Yuan just feared these people also carried heavy sin scents; that’d be a major issue, and if so, he’d have to go back on his word.
