Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2280 - 2281: Negotiation
Feng Yuan shook his head slightly, not wanting to say anything. Whether he was ready or not, he had to face them.
This corridor connects to different passages. Although those passages are closed like the Path of the Butterfly, they can still recognize them as belonging to the same type through that unique platform.
"Do you each manage different worlds?"
Considering some possibility, Feng Yuan asked, and Min Si was slightly startled and said,
"No, we just manage different cities. Rather than everyone, only some people need guidance for the city’s development."
"Hmm, speaking of which, sending those people away is quite a hassle."
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan said with some headaches. It’s not difficult to understand the meaning; the descendants of this group of people don’t just live in one city. Each city is managed by one Guardian and only one.
This explains why Min Si and the others can easily enter the city even though they don’t get along. Although there’s an outer defense layer, Feng Yuan suspects whether it’s an indiscriminate defense. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
However, Feng Yuan does not quite understand the situation here. If the Guardians managing the city really need to be replaced, is there no way to do it?
With a headache from thinking, Feng Yuan is too lazy to think about these troublesome matters.
The golden corridor is not particularly long, and the group quickly reaches the end, as expected, a giant temple appears in front of them.
The Golden Temple is adorned with many magical decorations, a magic circle, floating platforms, and even playful elves and plants dancing wildly against the walls.
"Mixing so many marks of civilization together, you really have a unique taste."
Veronia examined the somewhat bizarre temple with a peculiar expression. Although the combination doesn’t feel too discordant, for Veronia and her kind, it’s a bit too strange.
After all, on this, they can see many distinctive decorations from various countries of the Mythical Era.
Min Si didn’t explain. The temple itself is a special amalgam. Just as they stepped through the door, Min Si thought of something and said to Qi Chen and the others behind Feng Yuan.
"Sorry, you probably can only wait in the hall. Our matters... aren’t suitable for you to know."
Then, Min Si looked at Feng Yuan and said,
"Sorry, please wait here for a moment."
Tilting his head, Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand the meaning. Although he couldn’t grasp what the other party was up to, Feng Yuan wasn’t afraid of their tricks.
Eventually, Agunas and the others followed Min Si, while Feng Yuan and Qi Chen were left behind.
Looking around doubtfully, Qi Chen said puzzled,
"What are they up to, letting you stay behind?"
Although Qi Chen and the others didn’t know Feng Yuan’s true relationship with those people, they knew Feng Yuan had a deep connection with them.
Not to mention, this group, including Agunas and the others, were all under Feng Yuan’s command. If it were a negotiation, why not let Feng Yuan handle it?
Initially, Feng Yuan also didn’t understand what the others were doing. But thinking carefully, Feng Yuan felt she might be trying to hide her identity because others may not infer this initially.
Things weren’t beyond Feng Yuan’s expectations; Min Si didn’t directly take Feng Yuan to meet the others because she was worried about exposing his identity.
Although she didn’t fully understand what Feng Yuan had done, she could guess that he had already started a new life, and if she were him, she wouldn’t want the past dragged back.
Not to mention Feng Yuan’s uniquely significant identity, not below the Divine Beasts. Even if she didn’t understand modern civilization much, she could guess what impact exposing Feng Yuan’s identity might have.
Agunas and the others followed Min Si silently. Unlike Feng Yuan, they weren’t familiar with Min Si and didn’t intend to probe for information. After all, from Agunas and their perspective, everything in this parallel world will eventually be buried by time.
The past is not worth delving into since all these will become history, and being people of the Mythical Era, respecting them means not delving into everything.
Tamur might be the only one who harbors other thoughts, but it does nothing because it knows this parallel world is out of its reach for now.
"Min Si? You still haven’t given up on your plan?"
"We know you mean well, but it’s impossible for us. We can never return to that land."
"Them? How could they..."
Agunas calmly looked at those humans wearing black robes. Although the ages seemed varied in appearance, the heavy aura of guilt made it clear they were remnants of the Mythical Era.
They were puzzled why Min Si brought creatures both familiar and unfamiliar, especially Veronia, as their relationship with her wasn’t good for various reasons.
After all, to them, one of the leaders of Mitradite was rather annoying, unable to help, and helping ordinary people meant constant conflict.
On Veronia avoiding the Great Destruction, it was interesting but not too surprising, as they also survived it.
"My plan has already been implemented. They must return to the real world, and we should let go."
"Even if you disagree, I will forcibly push this plan because we don’t have time to delay anymore."
"Min Si! What are you talking about?"
"I’m not talking nonsense. You probably don’t know whom I’ve met."
Yawning, Feng Yuan held Xiao Ji, casually observing the surroundings and chatting with Qi Chen casually. A black-robed phantom wielding a sickle floated behind him, and even the White Wolf Deity followed Agunas, leaving Qi Chen somewhat worried.
If it was really a trap, could Feng Yuan alone hold this place?
"They probably intend to invite them to negotiate on how to settle those people. Though I could interject, it’s better to leave it to them as it’s highly influential."
Gently pinching Xiao Ji’s belly, which elicited a displeased cry from her, Feng Yuan said casually. He reasoned that Min Si probably kept things secret for him, but could they really agree with just themselves and Agunas?
Theoretically, Agunas represented the real world and Min Si the Mythical Era’s remnants, and this should suffice.
Yet, Agunas didn’t have massive influence over the real world. Even with Gitalien, it wasn’t enough to represent the Divine Beasts, not to mention involving real world’s human interests.
While Feng Yuan himself couldn’t represent much, he could bring everyone to the real world first and then get Agunas’s help to coordinate slowly.
But there’s not much time left for them now.
For Feng Yuan, this might be simple, brash, and problematic, but at least it’s convenient; otherwise, dragging things out, even if connections between worlds weren’t an issue, might take months, not to mention the difficulty accessing the parallel world.
The White Wolf Deity lay on the ground silently watching Agunas and those people argue. As Feng Yuan’s identity was confirmed, many leaned towards Min Si.
At least, Feng Yuan’s existence increased the viability of her plan, and Agunas’s arrival and the crises they faced indicated they didn’t have much time to continue delaying.
"Do you still have a choice?"
Seeing both sides unable to reach consensus, Tamur suddenly spoke, and the Guardians were momentarily stunned, replying,
"But there are many issues with this plan. If not handled well, executing it could endanger them..."
With a light sound, the White Wolf Deity’s tail slammed the ground forcefully, they saw the White Wolf Deity’s impatient face hesitate momentarily and said,
"We can’t go back with them. I worry they won’t cope well with the complex situation. However, you’re right, we indeed don’t have much time."
"Alas, fledglings eventually need to face the sky alone. We can’t help them..."
Though facing Agunas, they all knew the words were meant for the White Wolf Deity, with Agunas flicking its tail saying,
"We won’t ignore, but the condition is they must not act recklessly using this."
"No need, unless absolutely necessary, your aid would only lead them to rely on you, so let it be..."
