Intruding into the core area, Feng Yuan and the others could no longer act separately because they were too close to the devouring world’s darkness, which in this parallel world was said to be on par with Divine Beasts.

Veronia was somewhat puzzled; she didn’t quite understand why Feng Yuan still wanted to bring Qi Chen and the others along. Logically speaking, the danger here was too high, and if manpower was needed, he could have just found other Divine Beasts for help.

Stepping into the dark region, the entire space instantly dimmed, and even ultimate moves for illumination couldn’t disperse this extreme darkness.

The massive Flesh Chimera didn’t appear in sight, but everyone knew that it was bound to reveal itself and launch an attack on them.

"Indeed, in this place, ordinary purification power is no longer effective; however, a parallel world still cannot escape the rules of the timeline."

Smiling, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others. Being looked at this way by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen scratched his head, not quite understanding what he meant.

The White Wolf Deity howled loudly, and streaks of light flashed behind Qi Chen and the others, coalescing in front of them to form a silvery-white Gate of Light instead of disappearing instantly.

The darkness seemed to sense some danger, a suffocating sensation swept toward the group, but unfortunately, against Feng Yuan and them, it had no effect at all.

From the silvery-white Gate of Light, a man in a dark green robe walked out slowly, followed closely by a giant tree and then the Hao Chun Bird. The man held a green long staff, turned around to glance around, and gave Qi Chen, who looked bewildered, a faint smile.

"This is..."

Dou Yanlan looked at the man in surprise, his appearance was almost identical to Qi Chen’s, the only difference perhaps being that he looked much older.

Recalling the exclusive ultimate move once used by the White Wolf Deity, Dou Yanlan thought of something.

As the great tree stepped out of the Gate of Light, a woman in combat attire followed closely behind. She was initially stunned to see the man but then suddenly showed a hint of joy.

"Different possibilities of ourselves?"

Seeing the appearance of the woman, Dou Yanlan already understood what was happening. After all, having once seen the Coming of the Future through the White Wolf Deity, she was not surprised by this change.

Qiu Hanmo looked at the silvery-white Gate of Light with curiosity and anticipation; he also realized what the Gate was for and was equally eager to know what he would look like in the future.

Unlike Qi Chen, the Spirit Beasts brought by the future Dou Yanlan were different; besides Cotton, the other two Beast Tamers did not include the evolved form of Xing Bo.

Feng Yuan knew why this was because his disturbance caused a change in Dou Yanlan’s future, and what the White Wolf Deity chose was generally one of the possibilities where the person’s strength was extremely strong.

With Dou Yanlan’s current beast tamers, to say she’ll be weak in the future is unlikely, but in terms of personal strength, being very strong is not possible either, as both Cotton and Xing Bo are Spirit Beasts suited for team dynamics.

So, the alternate time Dou Yanlan and the real-world Dou Yanlan had quite significant differences.

A similar situation happened to Yang Hongzhi because of the special nature of Divine Beasts; alternate time summoning couldn’t pull Divine Beast-level Divine Beasts, not even Xiao Ji. Although Xiao Ji could be caught in the Coming of the Future, alternate time summoning didn’t work.

The special nature of Divine Beasts’ time made it nearly impossible for them to appear differently at the same time.

This was also why Feng Yuan did not choose to let the Divine Beasts replace Qi Chen and the others.

Because alternate time summoning turned out to be quite effective for the current situation, or rather, if it weren’t for this parallel world, the White Wolf Deity couldn’t use alternate time summoning.

Agunas flicked his tail and said puzzledly

"This ultimate move, it seems different from the Coming of the Future?"

"Not quite complete indeed."

Veronia looked at the last person to step out of the Gate of Light, his eyes squinting with an innocent smile on his face, even his Spirit Beast seemed to lack strong combat capabilities.

But they all knew, a person that could be summoned by the White Wolf Deity couldn’t be that simple.

"It’s truly astonishing."

Seeing this alternative version of himself, Qiu Hanmo realized he was indeed still inexperienced; the Beast Tamers of alternate time Qiu Hanmo didn’t seem much stronger than his current ones.

But considering all the possibilities, Qiu Hanmo quickly understood the use of these Beast Tamers, and he had to admit, in all aspects, the alternative time Qiu Hanmo’s Beast Tamers were much stronger than those he had chosen.

However, he also understood that the alternate time version of himself probably chose to maximize strength, which the real him could not do, even knowing that sentiment could cause trouble, he couldn’t act so cold-heartedly.

"What plan do you have exactly?"

Veronia looked puzzled at Feng Yuan, although the White Wolf Deity summoned alternate time versions of Qi Chen and the others, their strength hadn’t changed much. After all, they were all ordinary Beastmasters, even alternate time Yang Hongzhi was an ordinary Beastmaster and not a Divine Pact Maker.

In terms of strength, Veronia didn’t feel that this slight change in numbers could impact the battle.

Smiling, Feng Yuan said

"No need for plans, the alternate space version of them has an innate suppression against this chaotic parallel world."

Although here it wasn’t completely impossible to augment purification power, since it was additionally applied, the purification power had a limit, beyond which it would affect the stability of the ultimate move itself. Therefore, the purification power that previously could easily suppress darkness was now less than half as effective.

But the alternate time versions of Qi Chen and the others were different, due to the crisscrossing and overlapping of parallel worlds and parallel space-times, they inherently possessed absolute suppression effects, which was also related to the incompleteness of the parallel world.

After all, the parallel world did not rely on the Time River; in terms of rules, it was naturally not as complete as a parallel space-time, let alone this parallel world being a manmade product.

The alternate time Qi Chen seemed to understand the crowd’s doubts; he didn’t explain but commanded alternate time Ah Mu to take action.

Compared to Ah Mu, alternate time Ah Mu was already a Legend-level Spirit Beast, and it also possessed the power of Nainefar, so the moment alternate time Ah Mu took action, it was with a massive, wide-range ultimate move.

An endless forest spread out with alternate time Ah Mu as the center, the alternate time Hao Chun Bird flew and chirped around him, unfolding the Forest Domain, and they unhesitatingly initiated a Domain Awakening.

Golden stardust drifted in the forest and eventually gathered in front of alternate time Ah Mu; the endless forest and Forest Domain Awakening were not attack-type ultimate moves, yet they purified a large area in an instant. Seeing this scene, Qi Chen and the others suddenly understood why Feng Yuan wanted to bring them along.

"So that is one of my possibilities."

Gazing at the alternate time Qi Chen, Qi Chen mumbled to himself, and Dou Yanlan gently patted his shoulder, shaking her head as she said

"No, you are you, your future might not be like this."

Even without asking, Dou Yanlan already knew from the eyes of her alternate time self what potential world she was in. Compared to now, she believed if her alternate space self had a choice, she might have preferred not to have that power.

Qi Chen especially, though obviously much stronger than the current Qi Chen and not much different in appearance, there was something significantly different about him.

Qiu Hanmo examined the White Wolf Deity with uncertainty and amazement. If disregarding other factors, based solely on the currently displayed capabilities, the White Wolf Deity’s strength was more terrifying than he anticipated.

After all, the alternate space versions of himself and the others were not weak, and they were not merely illusions, at least not as far as it seemed now, and summoning so many people did not exhaust the White Wolf Deity. The deity might easily summon a large group of alternate space people and Spirit Beasts to fight.

But upon serious consideration, Qiu Hanmo felt it was unlikely, because if it were that simple, Feng Yuan wouldn’t have brought them along.

In other words, this ultimate move of the White Wolf Deity needed the existence of potential original forms among them to summon, yet, even so, to Qiu Hanmo, it seemed a bit too overwhelming.

Moreover, Qiu Hanmo also noticed something: the White Wolf Deity had not summoned Feng Yuan’s alternate space projection.

Was it a matter of unwillingness or inability?

No one answered Qiu Hanmo’s question. Feng Yuan glanced at the cleared area, raised his right hand, and conjured a pitch-black longbow, saying

"Prepare! The counterattack is coming!"

With alternate time Qi Chen causing such a stir, the darkness of the devouring world naturally couldn’t remain unresponsive. As the darkness surged, Feng Yuan could sense a quickly growing threat hidden in the endless darkness.
