Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1122 - 1123: Abnormal Data Domain

"Basically, that’s it, so it’s up to you to decide what to do."

While eating, Feng Yuan glanced at Liao Yu and said. The others had already understood that this matter should not be discussed casually, especially when it involves dangerous things like the Abyss. Liao Yu remained silent for a long time, closed his notebook, and hesitated before saying,

"You are right, this matter..."

"If you’re not sure what to do, the best option is to pass the pressure to the higher-ups. They won’t get angry, right?"

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile. However, he only said this because of the serious and responsible attitude of Captain Yan and even Captain Yang. If you don’t understand such matters, that’s fine. But once you know, you definitely realize how tricky it is.

"By the way, you mentioned that there is an anomaly in the Data Domain, what exactly happened?"

Suddenly recalling something, Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu and asked. He had just woken up and naturally hadn’t wandered into places like the Data Domain yet. He didn’t know what exactly had happened there. Guo Huai and his family had already left by then. They had come here for refuge simply because there might have been danger, but now that it was safe, they of course wouldn’t stay and get in the way of Qi Chen and the others.

"In the Data Domain, for some reason, a very strange area has appeared, just like... a city. It’s different from those artificially constructed before. That thing seems to be... naturally born."

Liao Yu thought for a while and said. In fact, this anomaly was first discovered by the Data Lineage Spirit Beasts of the team. However, this was indeed a bit of trouble. No one knew if this anomaly was something bad. Hearing Liao Yu’s explanation, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Naturally born? Has the Data Domain evolved?"

"The Data Domain evolved?"

Agunas and Veronia at the side were somewhat puzzled. Could that thing evolve? After considering for a moment, Feng Yuan explained,

"Yes, just like how the precursor of the Dream Domain was the Infinite Dreamscape, the Data Domain has just been born and is probably not yet fully perfected. Now, facing this special anomaly and evolving to include new areas seems quite normal."

"However, what exactly is the situation with this city that appeared? The Data Domain shouldn’t have features of the World’s Shadow."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan felt puzzled; only the World’s Shadow would project the real world directly. Whether it was the Data Domain or the Dream Domain or other areas, they didn’t possess the function to carry the real world’s irresistible forces of destruction. Naturally, there wouldn’t be a projection of the world. But according to Liao Yu’s description, it seemed a bit off.

"This, I can’t explain clearly either. How about you go take a look after you finish eating?"

Scratching his head, Liao Yu also didn’t know how to explain. The newly emerged city was indeed a bit eerie. Nodding, Feng Yuan said,

"Alright, by the way, how’s the academy assessment being handled afterward?"

"Wasn’t there no accident in the academy assessment, what about it?"

Startled for a moment, Liao Yu didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan meant. Blinking, Feng Yuan said,

"Did this anomaly not affect the subsequent work?"

Although they could all analyze that it was very unlikely to affect the subsequent work of the academy assessment, it was not certain whether some unexpected events would occur. As for asking Liao Yu, that was because, no matter what, he was an insider. Although he had no direct connections to the department responsible for the academy assessment, he could still know some internal news. Of course, if Feng Yuan were to ask personally, the information would likely be more accurate, since there was no need to keep this matter secret from him. It’s just that he found it troublesome, and moreover, if there really was anything significant, it would be publicly announced.

"It doesn’t seem like it would. After all, maintaining public order is not the job of the academy. Moreover, at this stage, it’s designated to be handled by the data system itself, and even if staff are reassigned, it won’t have a significant impact."

Reflecting on the work plan he received yesterday, Liao Yu said that, unlike the academy staff, they would probably be extremely busy these days. With such chaos, it would likely not be easy to fully restore order anytime soon, let alone provide the public with an explanation.

"I see, I was worried it would affect my travel plans~"

Hearing Liao Yu’s response, Feng Yuan said excitedly. Before settling the admission affairs, he couldn’t conveniently travel. Although Agunas could open the portal at any time, if any accident occurred and he got trapped somewhere without dealing with the emergency in time, it would be troublesome. Not to mention, he intended to invite Qi Chen and the others to join him.

"So it is... I see, the Data Domain has already begun to spawn its own world. It’s not surprising, but in that case, the number of Data-based Spirit Beasts should be facing a surge."

After Big Cat led everyone into the Data Domain, Feng Yuan understood what had happened. At this time, the door of Big Cat was no longer appearing at the position closest to the corresponding real space in the Data Domain; it was adjusted to lead into a special city.

This city featured towering skyscrapers and neon signs everywhere. Compared with the real world, this city, located in the Data Domain, was filled with a distinct ’sci-fi’ vibe. The higher up one went, the more features these technological creations had. The areas entering the clouds even had flying cars and roads composed of light screens.

On the contrary, the area below was different. The area where everyone had entered was a plaza, and it was not difficult to imagine that in the future, Data-based Spirit Beasts entering the Data Domain would first appear on this plaza. And this plaza was not much different from a real-world plaza.

Neon lights, vehicles with four wheels running on the ground, and some signs with mottled traces gave off the air of an everyday city in the real world. Of course, this was under the premise of ignoring those tall buildings and the special devices in the sky.

"If that’s the case, then... Big Cat, can you get a map of this place?"

Looking around, Feng Yuan said thoughtfully. Big Cat meowed and glanced at the surrounding environment. It was its first time seeing this place, but what felt odd to it was that the rules of this area seemed to be special. After a few meows, Big Cat used telekinesis to grab a nearby trash can and violently smash it to the ground. Watching the heavily deformed trash can due to the impact, Big Cat froze there. Before Feng Yuan had the chance to say anything, an alarm sounded, and a cube-shaped mechanical device with a red and blue police light on top charged out from somewhere and began to warn Big Cat.

"Big Cat actually has special privileges?"

Liao Yu looked at Big Cat somewhat surprised. The cube-shaped machine merely warned Big Cat not to damage public property, while also explaining that although Big Cat had privileges and could be exempt from minor punishments, repeated offenses would result in detention and punishment.

"It’s probably because this area has just been created and hasn’t restricted Big Cat’s abilities yet."

After a brief reflection, Feng Yuan understood what had happened. Seeing Big Cat still looking puzzled, Feng Yuan tapped its forehead irritably and said,

"You should have known that there would be enforcement for maintaining order in this place; how dare you mess around? Don’t you know that even in the real world, if you do such things, they would come to catch you?"

"We don’t bother with such trivial matters."

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said. They wouldn’t possibly care about such small trifles. However, Feng Yuan’s warning made him understand why the mechanical cube said Big Cat had special privileges. Just like themselves, if Divine Beasts like Gitalien accidentally destroyed a trash can, they would probably just issue a warning. Actual punishment? That really wasn’t possible. If the other party was willing to admit the mistake, it was okay, but if not, starting a fight over such a minor issue would be troublesome.

But what’s the situation with this thing? There doesn’t seem to be this type among Data-based Spirit Beasts, and moreover... Data-based Spirit Beasts shouldn’t be able to speak yet, right? Liao Yu suddenly realized something was off. Spirit Beasts can’t speak human language unless they have prolonged contact with humans. Like Xiao Ji, although it’s a Divine Beast and has been with Feng Yuan for a long time, getting it to speak is still difficult.

They might have their own thoughts, but those thoughts are rather simple and can’t be articulated specifically. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need for Agunas and Veronia to help translate all the time. Feng Yuan already had telepathic abilities, but this ability was only useful for those Spirit Beasts that have complete thoughts and minds of their own.

For a being like Xiao Ji, it probably could only hear some simple words, which is less efficient than letting Agunas and others translate.
