Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1143 - 144: Unexpected Gains

"You insist on saying that, it also barely counts..."

Swishing its tail, Agunas didn’t know how to counter, caught between the threats of the Abyss and the invasion of a higher order world. It was uncertain which was better, but this didn’t concern it much; it was something He should worry about.

"So that’s how it is."

At the edge of the stone platform, Feng Yuan saw a pair of cylinders with a white spherical bead on top of one. Placing his hand on the sphere, a holographic screen unfolded before him, displaying connectable platforms and a warning that quick passage channels were restricted during wartime states and not everyone could activate them.

As Feng Yuan chose a platform at the bottom, a tubular light column extended between the pair of cylinders downward. After a while, the red warning signals blocking the columns disappeared, and Feng Yuan knew this indicated clearance for passage. He turned his head and spoke to Qi Chen,

"Shall we go down and have a look?"

Qi Chen didn’t react much, as he didn’t understand the significance of these gadgets. Following Feng Yuan was merely to broaden his horizons. As for what was different below, he didn’t know nor care.

Liao Yu, however, was curious if there was something special about the lowest platform. After all, it was close to the entrance of the Starlit Sea. If there were any special arrangements, that place surely had them.

Stepping into that special energy tube, Feng Yuan felt a unique force supporting and propelling him swiftly forward. As he flew downwards, Xiao Ji hurriedly rushed into the energy tube.

Passing various round platforms, Feng Yuan noticed that the lower they went, the more items there were on the platforms compared to the empty ones at the entrance. After a distance, the platforms began to show rocky walls, and as they descended, more buildings appeared until they gently landed at the endpoint, facing a vast fortress. Feng Yuan exclaimed,

"It truly is a battlefield prepared for war; no telling how much was dug out from the Starlit Sea."

"Starlit Sea?"

At this moment, Delong Tower, who had followed them, squinted and surveyed the surroundings. It then noticed that the materials comprising these platforms and buildings seemed to originate from the seabed rocks of the real-world Starlit Sea. Although the quantity of rocks used for this area was negligible for the vast Starlit Sea, don’t forget, this is just one city, and there are many such cities.

"I estimate the depth might increase by one or two meters at most."

Delong Tower quickly calculated, saying that even though there are many cities in each region, the Starlit Sea is simply too vast. Despite the extensive amount consumed, it’s not significantly vast in terms of the Starlit Sea. Moreover, Delong Tower believed that He wouldn’t just focus on one place to extract rocks; averaging out, even an increase in depth of one meter would be notable.

"The sea level won’t drop?"

Feng Yuan looked at Delong Tower with some surprise, and with a glance, Delong Tower proudly said,

"Of course, the sea level of the Starlit Sea is fixed, no matter how much it changes inside, the sea level will neither rise nor fall."

"That’s also good, at least when encountering some bizarre ruins, we can just dump them into the Starlit Sea."

Hearing Delong Tower’s reply, Feng Yuan chuckled, and looking at him, Delong Tower said irritably,

"Don’t treat the Starlit Sea like a dump where you can throw everything in."

"Why not, if there are some strange structures to handle, dumping them into the Starlit Sea would be just fine."

Seeing Delong Tower’s distrustful look, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but protest. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"If they stay in their original place, why must those structures be moved?"

"Some things are not suitable for modern humans to possess, just like those relics from the Mythical Era, most of which have been submerged, right?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and explained, the relics of the Mythical Era are not absent, but most have been thrown into the Starlit Sea. After all, the items in those relics aren’t suitable for modern humans and Spirit Beasts to control.

"Are there really such things?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan skeptically. Although his reason was sound, he always felt something was off. Those ancient ruins as dangerous as those from the Mythical Era, should they not have been discovered and thrown into the Starlit Sea long ago? frёewebnoѵēl.com

"I’m not sure, there could be, or there could not be. Just looking for a place to dump the trash... I mean the discarded ruins,"

scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled as he spoke. He wasn’t really sure if such relics still existed in the modern world. As for the ancient relic where Veronia was? That was a special area. The devices left in the real world were just restrictive devices, and the core and main body of that device were all in the World of Mirrors, even most of the relic was in the World of Mirrors, so it’s not surprising that this relic wasn’t thrown into the Starlit Sea.

He wasn’t crazy enough to throw Veronia’s World of Mirrors into the Starlit Sea. And besides, the World of Mirrors can’t sink into the sea; it’s similar to a Data Domain, a space attached to the real world.

"A dump?"

Delong Tower looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. Although, in a sense, the Starlit Sea, filled with a bunch of chaotic forbidden relics, could be considered a dumping ground, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to say so in its presence.

Feng Yuan grinned broadly, hugging Xiao Ji and slipping to one side. Seeing Feng Yuan leave, Delong Tower didn’t call him back; it wasn’t angry anyway—the Starlit Sea had too many chaotic objects, so Feng Yuan’s comment didn’t seem so strange.

"Indeed, it’s an entrance to the Starry Sky."

Standing on the city wall and looking down, Feng Yuan said with an I-knew-it look. Below, a magnificent Star River was slowly rotating, and Agunas and the others could sense the scent of the Starry Sky emanating from it.

"No block at the connecting point?"

Agunas frowned slightly, puzzled. It thought that, in non-war times, this entrance should be blocked. Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"Why bother exerting effort for such an action?"

"If there is no channel connecting this area to the Starry Sky, or there is a barrier, why wouldn’t they consider forcibly breaking through the spatial barriers?"

Rolling her eyes, Veronia said irritably, Little Crocodile really didn’t understand these things. Although the Data Domain indeed acts as a barrier between the Starry Sky and the real world, it is not absolute. Forcibly breaking through the space could most likely surpass the Data Domain and descend into the real world.

Just like how these Divine Beasts want to enter the Starry Sky, they don’t need to go through the Data Domain, they can completely bypass the Data Domain and directly descend into the Starry Sky or vice versa.

"Yo~ What a surprise treat; guess it’s necessary to have people stationed here~"

While Agunas and Veronia were arguing, Feng Yuan noticed that below numerous dazzling crystals were spouting out from the Star River, falling onto the rocky ground and slowly dissolving like melting ice cream.

"What is this?"

Observing the crystals, Liao Yu asked somewhat puzzled, Feng Yuan picked up a crystal in his hand and observed it,

"Star debris crystals, what do you think? When dissolved in water, they can enhance a Spirit Beast’s energy control ability."

Holding the crystal, the star debris crystal stopped melting. Agunas flicked its tail saying,

"This thing... melts when it touches the rocks of the Starlit Sea?"

"It dissolves in water, and even though this place is a Data Domain, there’s still moisture in the air. To preserve it long-term, we might need to move vacuum equipment here. However, it’s precisely for this reason that this stuff seems not to have appeared in the human world."

After all falling from the Starry Sky, whether or not it would melt due to high temperature, just its natural dissolution was enough to prevent it from reaching the real world. Veronia, looking at the star debris crystal curiously, asked,

"How exactly are these things created?"

"These star debris that you shattered, when attracted through a space channel, get affected by the channel’s energy during passage, transforming into this stuff."

Feng Yuan casually spoke as he closed his hand, the shallow black glow that originally covered the crystal suddenly intensified and completely engulfed the piece of star debris crystal.
