Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1141 - 1142: The True Purpose

"You really are..."

With a gentle pat, Feng Yuan stopped Xiao Ji’s attack, looking somewhat helpless as he tousled the feathers on Xiao Ji’s head. Turning to the bush wall that now had a huge gap, he honestly thought that if it weren’t for Xiao Ji and the Delong Tower both being Divine Beasts, their actions would have triggered an immediate counterattack on everyone by the giant tree.

Looking at its handiwork proudly, Xiao Ji flapped its wings contentedly. Tapping Xiao Ji’s forehead with a finger, Feng Yuan said with a chuckle,

"How come you’re still so petty? It’s just a normal Attribute suppression, why seek revenge? It’s not like it did anything to you."

Xiao Ji turned its head away, calling out a few times with a guilty air, while Liao Yu asked in amazement upon seeing the sky-blue Energy Net,

"What is that? Why does such a thing exist?"

By now, everyone understood what had sent Little Ice Cream flying before. The sky-blue Energy Net was fully capable of electrocuting anything that touched it, and no doubt Little Ice Cream must have triggered the Energy Net’s counterattack when it burrowed into the bushes.

"It’s quite normal. After all, these bush walls can’t stop someone from sneaking in, unless there’s an air wall. This Energy Net is probably there to deal with creatures trying to burrow through the bush walls,"

Feng Yuan explained and then glanced at Little Ice Cream, not quite understanding why it would want to crawl through the bush wall when it had nothing to do, especially since it hadn’t informed them, and it was unlikely that they would try to crawl through the bush wall with it.

Agunas looked at Little Ice Cream, who was chirping about something, and translated,

"It says there is a sweet scent in the bushes, and it wanted to find the tasty thing."

"A sweet scent?"

Eyebrows raised in suspicion, Feng Yuan observed the gap that had been created. Except for the conspicuous sky-blue Energy Net, he couldn’t see anything strange, let alone the branches of the bushes—after all, Little Ice Cream was not a tree-sap eating insect, so how could it possibly be interested in those things.

What’s more, this is the Data Domain, and even if it is a simulation of reality, it’s unlikely for tree sap to appear within the branches of bush walls in the Data Domain.

Just then, a special plant stem emerged from the ground and gently rested on the bush branches that had been stripped by the wind blade. Soon, those branches underwent Rapid Growth, and before long, the entire bush wall had recovered to its original state.

"It doesn’t refresh directly like in the games?"

Delong Tower said in surprise, thinking it would be like the scene destruction in games that instantly restores itself the next second.

"Half data, half physical—as such, it can’t refresh and rebuild purely within the Data Domain."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said this, and Veronia, upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, expressed her astonishment,

"Isn’t that like the Flower Bud lot?"

Pausing for a moment, recalling how the Flower Bud clan in the Data Domain will have additional Data Attributes, Feng Yuan had to admit, their presence in this area does have some reasons—at least in some sense, they are also half data and half physical entities.

"What’s the benefit of doing this?"

Agunas turned to Feng Yuan with a skeptical look, not believing there would be no benefits. If the structures were purely built from the Data Domain, these bush walls could be rebuilt without any restrictions, but now being half data and half physical, the recovery process was different, at least not as fast.

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas in surprise; he didn’t expect the latter to think this way, but it was indeed true—there were extra benefits to doing this. After thinking for a while, Feng Yuan explained,

"Of course, there are benefits. You should know that before one breaks through the constraints of the Data Domain, attacks will be limited by the constraints of the Data Domain. Even here, it’s the same. In fact, the effects of those Ultimate Moves landing on objects built within the Data Domain are the result of the Data Domain’s constraints interfering."

"But if your attack strength exceeds the limits of the Data Domain’s restraints, then the restraining effect of the Data Domain can no longer fully limit your attack. Specifically... it means that items constructed within the Data Domain, regardless of how sturdy they seem, are instantly destroyed."

"Because objects built in the Data Domain are, in a sense, just loosely bound by Energy, with no defensive power."

"I see, so if it’s half data and half physical, having the defensive power of a physical entity, it would be much tougher in resisting attacks?"

Agunas spoke thoughtfully as he looked at Feng Yuan and nodded, to which Feng Yuan responded with a slight smile, saying

"Yeah, that’s right. Although the Data Domain can weaken some of it, certain special ultimate moves can’t be weakened by the Data Domain, such as the power of the Divine Beasts."

Feng Yuan then looked towards Delong Tower. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was a Divine Beast, the defensive power displayed by the vine wall would likely surpass Good Level, since the Data Domain itself also weakens some of the power. However, because Delong Tower’s power is that of a Divine Beast, it isn’t constrained within the Data Domain, which is why the vine wall could only rely on its own defensive power to resist attacks.

"Psh, even without the weakening, it’s nothing special." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze upon it, Delong Tower spoke with disdain, indicating that the reduction from the Data Domain did not significantly impact it, and it did not care about that.

"It seems... well, I think I’ve got an idea of what this place is for."

Just as he was explaining, Feng Yuan suddenly realized the purpose of this area, and upon seeing the towering vine wall, he smiled slightly and said,

"Let’s go, to the next area. If I’m not mistaken, the next area will probably be quite unique."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Big Cat opened the map to take a look and noticed that the next area was indeed special. Large and small circular areas overlapped each other, covering every inch of the map without missing any space. Realizing this, Big Cat knew that without a three-dimensional map, finding a way in the next area would be impossible. It was definitely a three-dimensional pathway, somewhat similar to a zero-gravity region.

Big Cat meowed at Agunas, trying to say something, and flicked its tail. Agunas then looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"The next area seems to resemble a city built upon a great tree by the Elf race in games. But it’s a bit strange..."

Zero-gravity regions, although not quite resembling a city, were primarily made of city-like buildings, and all the other areas they had passed were related to the city. Only the next area, as described by Big Cat, was about the Elf race’s city. This was the Data Maomu City, not some game. Why would such a thing exist here?

"Why not take a look and see for ourselves?"

Glancing at the map, which they had traversed two-thirds of the way, Feng Yuan said indifferently, believing that all their doubts would be answered once they entered the next area.

"Just as I thought."

Looking at the pitch-black void around him, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised at all to say, as his previous guess was now simply confirmed. Stepping out from the ancient stone passage and looking at the giant round platform built of stone, Qi Chen said in surprise,

"What’s this? Would this kind of thing be in a city?"

"A fortress, or rather, a frontline battle area."

Feng Yuan said casually. Hearing his words, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and Qi Chen, puzzled, pressed on,

"What frontline battle area? Does Maomu City have such a place?!"

"No, but the Data Domain does. You haven’t forgotten the previous Abyss invasion incident, have you? Even though that wasn’t the actual Abyss itself."

"This is... He’s planning to set the world battlefield right here?!"

Agunas reacted with a shocked expression, to which Feng Yuan nodded with a smile, saying,

"It should be. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be designed like this. The area with the special guardians was also intentionally placed to prevent invaders from sneaking in."

"No way... If that’s the case, wouldn’t Maomu City be..."

Liao Yu felt a chill down his spine and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. The news was too startling. Although he had never heard the term ’world battlefield,’ judging from Agunas’s shocked reaction and previous intelligence, it likely referred to an area designed for combating enemies from outside the world. And the last such area was the Starry Sky!

"Don’t worry, from His arrangements, it looks like a layer of protection has been added between the Starry Sky and the real world. After breaking through the Starry Sky, one must breach through here to enter the real world."

Feng Yuan said, glancing disparagingly at Liao Yu.
