Divine Beast Creator

The Gate of Netherworld was shrouded in black mist; after a moment, a powerful aura suddenly spread out. Feng Yuan squinted his eyes slightly. Even though he couldn’t see, he already knew who had arrived.

He hadn’t expected that the mythological transformation of the Gate of Netherworld would possess this ability, or rather, no one had expected this, as the essence of mythological transformation was to revert ultimate moves to their Mythical Era state.

Unlike modern times, the ultimate moves during the Mythical Era were far stronger, but as eras changed, even the ultimate moves of Divine Beasts inevitably changed and weakened.

However, in the Mythical Era, the Gate of Netherworld as an ultimate move didn’t exist, or rather, because there were no defined domains related to death during the Mythical Era, corresponding ultimate moves simply didn’t exist.

Being able to undergo mythological transformation isn’t that strange, since ultimately, it is a modern Divine Beast Technique, so it couldn’t possibly be limited to those weakened Mythical Era ultimate moves alone.

However, since it had never appeared before, no one knew what effects these ultimate moves, which hadn’t appeared in the Mythical Era, would have when mythologically transformed.

"I won the gamble."

With a slight curl of the lips, Dou Yanlan had anticipated this. Although the Soul Projection of the Qi Realm Timeline doesn’t allow outsiders to participate in battles, using ultimate moves to bring in assistance was not restricted.

Otherwise, Tamur should have been warned when using mythological transformation, and bringing Long Boduo was a pleasant surprise because Dou Yanlan wasn’t sure if the Gate of Netherworld’s mythological transformation connected to the Main World’s Netherworld; if not, summoning Divine Beasts would be nearly impossible.

Seeing Long Boduo was an even greater surprise, as she was unfamiliar with the other Netherworld Divine Beasts, contrary to Long Boduo, who often visited Feng Yuan previously, making them relatively more familiar; at least the other side wouldn’t refuse assistance outright.

Emerging from the Gate of Netherworld, Long Boduo curiously surveyed the area, sensing a peculiar power within the Netherworld; just moments ago, that power conveyed a request for aid from the Divine Beasts.

Coincidentally, Long Boduo was nearby at the time, so she curiously ventured over, only to discover an unusual Gate of Netherworld.

Passing through the Gate of Netherworld, Long Boduo immediately noticed Feng Yuan and his companions, and because of this, she refrained from asking questions; upon crossing the Gate of Netherworld, she came to understand the message embedded in that power.

A technique capable of summoning Divine Beast assistance — it’s impossible for Long Boduo not to be curious. But given she was there to assist in battle, at the very least, she’d first need to take care of business.

With a roar, Long Boduo announced her presence. Although she couldn’t determine the current situation, seeing Feng Yuan not taking action suggested perhaps a battle was occurring?

However, the environment here seemed rather peculiar, or rather, this place didn’t much resemble a normal world.

"If Long Boduo enters the battlefield, she’s destined to lose, right?"

Seeing Long Boduo join the fray without causing any changes, Feng Yuan remarked with a strange expression; no choice, even though Long Boduo wasn’t as formidable as Veronia and the others, she wasn’t weak as a Divine Beast of the Netherworld, just not top-tier.

However, this comparison was internal among Divine Beasts; compared to those weaker Divine Beasts akin to Sacred Beasts, Long Boduo was much stronger. This meant unless the Qi Realm could spawn Divine Beasts, any Beast Tamer sent would hardly be a match for Long Boduo.

"Not necessarily; even if the mythological transformation stems from a Divine Beast’s ultimate move, is there really no limit to summoning other Divine Beasts for assistance?"

Veronia didn’t hold that view; the power of Divine Beasts was immense, and although she didn’t know why the Gate of Netherworld, post-mythological transformation, produced an effect of summoning Netherworld Divine Beasts for assistance, she was certain those summoned Divine Beasts would face constraints.

After all, the Gate of Netherworld wasn’t originally designed for summoning aid for battles; even with mythological transformation, ignoring this feature wouldn’t be feasible.

Dou Yanlan already understood these limitations, or rather, with Long Boduo’s arrival, the constraints simultaneously appeared in Cotton’s consciousness; even three opportunities to act were sufficient for Dou Yanlan!

"Long Boduo, could you transform this battlefield into a tangible Netherworld? That’s one opportunity to act."

Given she was dealing with a Divine Beast, Dou Yanlan didn’t dare act too presumptuously; although Long Boduo seemed to have a temper, respect was still due.

With a snort, Long Boduo stamped her hooves, a light flashed, and the surroundings acquired a hint of chilliness, even altering the Environmental Energy.

While attempting to break the defenses, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan noticed the changes here and her mind shook; she hardly expected that during the fight, they’d summon other Divine Beasts just like that.

If people from the Main World possessed such capabilities, attempting to invade the Main World would be downright ridiculous.

Nobody noticed Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s mistaken thoughts, or rather even if they did notice, nobody would explain it to her. After all, those who understood the situation—Feng Yuan didn’t bother to speak, Dou Yanlan certainly wouldn’t disclose it to her own timeline’s self, Qi Chen...he wouldn’t explain these things voluntarily.

The Empire and War timelines had their trump cards, whereas the Qi Realm Timeline was quite unique; the pinnacle strength resided on the Qi Realm side, leaving humans on the other side without sufficient strength to invade the Main World.

Of course, to underestimate the Qi Realm Timeline because of this would be a grave mistake; Feng Yuan and the others weren’t aware, but Feng Yuan could vaguely guess—even though the Qi Realm presented a significant hindrance to Main World humans, it also served as an important barrier for them.

The Qi Realm’s life forms originated from the Soul Projection of the Main World, thus ensuring it couldn’t completely eradicate the Main World; if so, the Qi Realm would internally suffer and continually weaken due to the absence of life forms.

Any formidable Domain inherently harbors life forms, an unalterable fact; even the Qi Realm isn’t exempt from it.

This implies if War or the Empire dared to invade the Qi Realm Timeline, there’d be no need for Main World humans to intervene; as long as their damage to the Main World surpassed a certain threshold, the Qi Realm would autonomously retaliate.

The Qi Realm, representing pinnacle strength, is not limited to its current portrayal; in fact, the most daunting aspect lies in the Qi Realm creatures’ frequent possession of immortality.

Facing undefeatable enemies, especially formidable ones, is always troubling.

Feng Yuan had long been concerned about one thing: was it truly coincidental that War and Empire had encountered War Qi Chen from the past, while the Qi Realm Timeline faced Dou Yanlan of the Parallel World? It seemed almost too coincidental.

But if it wasn’t coincidental, Feng Yuan also couldn’t figure out why such a situation had arisen, or rather, if uncovered, perhaps he’d discern why Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection was so special.

Looking at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, who were once again engaging in combat with newly appeared Beast Tamers, Feng Yuan squinted his eyes slightly; the counterpart seemed capable of disregarding conventional Qi Realm rules to create projected Spirit Beasts, otherwise, explaining the conditions of the Beast Tamers battling Qi Chen and company would be unconceivable.

Theoretically, she could enlist other people’s Beast Tamers as combatants, but Feng Yuan observed clearly that those Beast Tamers belonged to the Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen of this world, or rather, they were projections.

The Qi Realm’s possession of such an ability didn’t surprise Feng Yuan at all; the Anti-Divine Beast Rune was a force that could counter Divine Beasts, so it was natural for the equally powerful or perhaps slightly superior Qi Realm to manage something so trivial.

Even Agunas and the others could summon projections from the Time River; let alone the Qi Realm, which merely employed the recorded Soul Projection.

Nonetheless, an act seemingly simple bore different significance; such an ability had never emerged before, and Feng Yuan was certain this ought to be a part of the Qi Realm’s operational mechanism.

The Qi Realm served simultaneously as the Guardian and the destroyer of the Main World; while currently appearing as if destruction is for rebirth, this doesn’t negate the Qi Realm’s potential to assault the Main World.

If the mechanism of unlimited projections lacked restrictions, the Main World would long since have been extensively damaged; Feng Yuan inclined to believe these matters are part of the Qi Realm’s defensive mechanism rules, only activated when defense mechanism triggers.\p>

Thus, the question arose: why could Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection call upon the defense mechanism’s elements?

It must be understood that this substantially altered or disregarded the Qi Realm’s operational rules; not just anyone could achieve this, and even within the Qi Realm’s Soul Projection, few could manage such feats. Why did it fall on Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection?
