Divine Beast Creator

"I was indeed called back recently, and at that time, I remember you didn’t return with me."

Zhanzheng Qichen looked at Bai You and said calmly. He didn’t expect things to be this simple. Bai You thought for a moment and said,

"So, this change happened when he returned to our world while I was still in this one?"

"That seems to be the case."

Feng Yuan nodded, his brow slightly furrowed. Bai You looked at Feng Yuan skeptically and said,

"No, if that’s true, why am I the only one who noticed something unusual? Why didn’t Mo Xiaoyu, who was in charge of the exchange with him, react at all?"

"In theory, such a change shouldn’t directly alert anyone, unless an unaffected person notices discrepancies between the two. The person you mentioned probably didn’t encounter a situation requiring comparison, otherwise, you can try. It might turn out that my hypothesis is wrong."

Feng Yuan brushed his chin, not rejecting the other’s doubts since he couldn’t be sure what was going on. He could only say that this possibility seemed most likely at the moment but wasn’t absolute.

Because with Bai You, he indeed didn’t sense anything strange, meaning the other party likely didn’t have the means to resist time correction, and theoretically, a time branch shouldn’t have elements like time correction.

Could it be influenced by the Main World?

Reflecting on the nature of the time branch itself, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but suspect if there was some lurking crisis within the Main World, but... it shouldn’t be. Given the current situation, if there truly was one, it couldn’t be hidden so well.

Unable to figure it out, Feng Yuan didn’t dwell on it either. Bai You’s suspicions about herself didn’t concern Feng Yuan much; it would be better if the other party could prove his hypothesis wrong. Otherwise, the occurrence of time-correction-like phenomena in the time branch wasn’t a good thing.

"Mo Xiaoyu probably wouldn’t care about such things. Perhaps we might not get an answer, but... we can try."

Zhanzheng Qichen looked at Bai You. He certainly couldn’t intervene, not to mention he didn’t have permission, even if he did, he couldn’t be sure if the guy watching him would make a move halfway through.

Although there was no evidence, Zhanzheng Qichen always suspected that this change was orchestrated by a hidden hand.

"In that case, I might as well reluctantly ask him."

Bai You glanced at Zhanzheng Qichen, who had no intention of stopping her. Seeing this, Bai You huffed discontentedly, got up, and left. Feng Yuan looked puzzledly at Zhanzheng Qichen and asked,

"You don’t have communication tools?"

It’s likely that Zhanzheng Qichen couldn’t directly contact the other party. After all, he wasn’t supposed to be here at this time. Feng Yuan understood well that Zhanzheng Qichen’s status in their world wasn’t low. Precisely because of this, he couldn’t randomly show up here.

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan curiously asked,

"What’s Bai You’s situation exactly? She seems quite casual."

"Just the daughter of a general."

Zhanzheng Qichen didn’t want to talk much. Bai You’s situation was special. Although they were both envoys, Zhanzheng Qichen could only come here upon receiving orders. Coming over privately would cause big trouble if discovered. Bai You, on the other hand, was different. Although she was also an envoy, she could travel freely between the two worlds.

Of course, the condition was that the two sides hadn’t become hostile yet. Zhanzheng Qichen didn’t want East Continent Great Xia and Great Xia to become hostile because Feng Yuan was truly inscrutable. The one thing certain is that Feng Yuan had the ability to completely obliterate East Continent Great Xia.

Seeing that Zhanzheng Qichen didn’t want to say more, Feng Yuan didn’t push him. After a while, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan came over, and seeing Zhanzheng Qichen here, they weren’t surprised. Feng Yuan had already mentioned this matter earlier.

From Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan learned the latest intelligence, even she felt somewhat uneasy, not knowing exactly what’s going on, but what’s certain is that those involved this time are not friendly, and it’s quite tricky.

The other party didn’t directly attack the Main World; instead, they targeted the war timeline. That’s not necessarily a good thing. They might use the war timeline as a springboard to attack the Main World more easily.

"Are we just going to wait for things to happen and do nothing?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled. Since there were clues in the war timeline, why hadn’t Feng Yuan taken action?

"Pretty much, the place where the upheaval occurred is in the war timeline. If I leave Maomu City now, there’s no telling if Maomu City would be in danger. Also, we haven’t even figured out the current situation."

Sighing, Feng Yuan said helplessly. He couldn’t leave Maomu City now. Although the Temple was there to support them, who knew if the Imperial People would suddenly decide to attack Maomu City?

If not for this, Feng Yuan could have gone to the war timeline to investigate, but he couldn’t now. Feng Yuan couldn’t guarantee that after leaving, Maomu City wouldn’t be attacked. Moreover, doing so would require taking Qi Chen and the others along, and that would be too troublesome.

"I thought you weren’t planning to protect this city."

Zhanzheng Qichen glanced at Feng Yuan and said blandly. Just then, Bai You returned with some not-so-good news.

Mo Xiaoyu, the new envoy who replaced Zhanzheng Qichen, hadn’t paid much attention to Yalmorde’s traditional culture, but according to him, there were indeed changes in East Continent Great Xia. Some folklore and legends had been suddenly brought up out of nowhere, even though he had never heard of those legends before.

"Even Mo Xiaoyu felt something was off. It seems the problem is more serious than we imagined. However, folklore and legends? As far as I remember, they weren’t this popular."

Zhanzheng Qichen furrowed his brow. If his memory wasn’t mistaken, then perhaps...

Seeing the other looking at him, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s probably as you guessed. That thing, though not a time correction, is something similar."

"But it’s still unclear what exactly triggered the correction."

In a short time, the war timeline had been altered several times. Feng Yuan didn’t think this was a small matter. The other party just hadn’t interfered with the Main World, or maybe those changes in the Main World were not evident?

Dou Yanlan silently took out her phone, comparing news as Veronia slowly spoke,

"Who do you think is behind this?"

"I don’t know. Honestly, I can’t think of a reason for doing this."

Holding his head in frustration, Feng Yuan said. Normally, there’s no need to do such a thing to the war timeline. Changing the history of the war timeline isn’t something just anyone can do.

It would take at least someone of the Divine Beasts’ level. Veronia knew this too and said,

"Could it be the backlash from the Anti-Divine Beast Rune?"

"Not sure. Theoretically, that thing shouldn’t have this side effect."

Feng Yuan didn’t dare to dismiss the idea, though, because now it seemed like anything could happen. He couldn’t be sure of what was going on. However, the Anti-Divine Beast Rune was inanimate, theoretically, it shouldn’t have this effect.

But he wasn’t familiar enough with the Anti-Divine Beasts’ runes. Maybe that was the price to pay? But then, why would it involve Qi Chen and the others?

Feng Yuan hadn’t forgotten that this matter involved Qi Chen and the others, which was the strangest part. Why was the war timeline issue connected to Qi Chen?

At least for now, all these changes seemed concentrated in the war timeline. Could it be due to the offerings? But he couldn’t verify that either. Even the Divine Beasts were unsure who in the war timeline might have another self.

The group discussed but couldn’t arrive at a useful conclusion. Though there were many clues, the truth remained shrouded in mist, unclear to behold.

A ringing phone interrupted the discussion. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan each took out their phones and moved to a corner. After a while, they returned with grim faces and spoke to Feng Yuan,

"Sorry, this time we might need your help. A group of peculiar people appeared north of Cha Mu Town. Those guys seem impossible to kill."

"Enemies with immortality? It doesn’t seem like the work of Imperial People."

Surprised, perhaps because the discussion earlier concerned hidden hands, Feng Yuan subconsciously linked it to the anomalies in the war timeline. Of course, this wasn’t to say such methods couldn’t appear on The Imperial Timeline; it’s just that in the Main World, possessing any form of immortality isn’t simple at all.

"I’m afraid we’ll have to continue this once we return."

Sighing, Feng Yuan called Xiao Ji and the others to prepare to leave. As for Zhanzheng Qichen and the others? If they had nowhere to go, they could stay at his place without a problem. Feng Yuan had nothing important in his dorm, so he wasn’t worried.
