Divine Beast Creator

The flickering scenes gave Feng Yuan and the others the illusion of entering a game world. As they walked outside, the distant scenery seemed normal, yet the woman’s house behind them flickered and tore like a graphical error in a game.

This eerie flickering didn’t disappear as Feng Yuan and the others moved away from the house. Instead, it became more frequent, even forming a black void in that area eventually.

"Is this considered triggering a monster?"

Veronia chuckled, glancing at the villagers emerging from their homes. The scarlet eyes of the villagers were hard to ignore, prompting a helpless smile from Feng Yuan.

"It seems that’s exactly the case."

Feng Yuan once considered leaving a few alive to gather information, but seeing their condition, he realized it probably wasn’t possible, so he didn’t bother.

Without needing to worry too much, those villagers truly weren’t a match for Feng Yuan and his group. In fact, eliminating them wasn’t difficult. However, Feng Yuan and the others discovered that neither the previous woman nor the other villagers were immortal, and upon their elimination, the corresponding houses would transform into black voids.

Outside the village, looking at the village that had mostly been devoured by darkness, Feng Yuan frowned. What was this strange transformation? Veronia seemed to think of something and said,

"Could it be that these creatures are bound to their houses?"

It’s no wonder Veronia thought this way. After those creatures were eliminated, their houses disappeared as well. It’s hard to believe they aren’t bound together. However, Feng Yuan felt it wasn’t merely a matter of life and death being linked.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"Is the void ahead really just a simple void?"

"Hmm, can’t you tell?"

Surprised, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and waved her hand casually. The Crystal Shine Dragon rushed into the region of the black void. As it crossed the boundary, its body slightly twisted but quickly returned to normal.

Watching the Crystal Shine Dragon roam through the region of the black void, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and said,

"It’s not an illusion, but..."

Looking up at the white glowing clouds overhead, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Is it a reversal of day and night? Should we rest first and move forward when they become active, or should we investigate first?"

"Perhaps we should rest first. At least, they won’t run amok at night." Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, then cast her gaze over to Qi Chen and the others.

Noticing Veronia’s hint, Feng Yuan awkwardly smiled. Veronia naturally didn’t need rest, but Qi Chen and the others did, and if those creatures became active at night, they might not get any rest.

For Feng Yuan, it wasn’t much, but for Qi Chen and the others, it would be troublesome. They had to be aware that this place wasn’t safe, not to mention that Tamur’s Mythical Era Projection wasn’t omnipotent. At least, it could be broken.

To avoid being ambushed, Veronia created a crystal platform floating in the air. Feng Yuan and his group took a short rest on the crystal platform, while Eclipse’s massive body coiled around the platform, nearly enveloping it completely.

Sitting against Ah Mu, Qi Chen glanced at Dou Yanlan lying on Xing Bo and the Little Husky lying on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back, suddenly feeling a strange sensation, as if they were on a journey.

War Qichen also sat with his Beast Tamer, and even though he seemed asleep with his head down, Qi Chen could sense his tension.

The Deep Layer of the Qi Realm was unlike anywhere else. Here, the ever-present spiritual pollution alone was enough to pose a great danger to them. In such circumstances, neither War Qichen nor Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan dared to enter a deep sleep easily.

Feng Yuan, on the other hand, wasn’t worried at all, having said he’d sleep just fine before turning into a Little Husky with little combat ability, climbing onto the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back.

Veronia glanced at the three who couldn’t sleep and chuckled softly. Peering through the gaps in Eclipse’s coiled body, she observed the outside world as the white light continued to shine on the earth. The distant black void showed no signs of disappearing, and Veronia didn’t know if the area would naturally restore itself. Maybe it would.

After all, no matter how special, the Qi Realm wasn’t an infinite space. If it were permanently turned into a void region when damaged, the Qi Realm would eventually be devoured by the void.

"Haven’t you learned to rest during wartime? If you don’t rest, you might have to fight continuously later on."

Glancing at Qi Chen, Veronia said flatly. War Qichen might wake at any moment, but he seemed to be resting, while Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan hadn’t slept at all.

Scratching his head, Qi Chen said awkwardly,

"I..."

"Don’t overthink it. Rest when you need to; otherwise, if you need to run and your spirit is weak, you’ll drag us down."

Continuing to watch the outside world, Veronia didn’t say any more. Qi Chen forced himself into a sleep state, but in this perilous place, falling asleep wasn’t easy at all.

After all, not everyone had the strength and confidence of Feng Yuan to sleep as they wished.

The white light gradually dimmed, but the sky didn’t turn completely dark. Instead, a blood-red light slowly seeped out from the white light. Licking its tail, the Little Husky yawned and jumped off the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back. The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, startled by the Little Husky’s movement, sprang up with a woof.

In an instant, everyone was awakened. Xiao Ji hurried over to Feng Yuan, who had reverted to his original form. Qi Chen rubbed his eyes, having only just managed to fall asleep, but now awoken by the noise, he realized Veronia’s earlier warning had seemingly come true.

"So that’s it, night here is white light, and day is blood red? It’s quite unexpected."

Feng Yuan hadn’t anticipated such strange day-night changes here at all. But thinking back, it seemed like the Qi Realm previously also had a blood-red sky, so having a crimson day here was somewhat normal.

"The pollution’s power is growing stronger. Can you still handle it?"

Feng Yuan felt the changes around him and asked Veronia. It was precisely because the environment changed that he was awakened. Surrounded by cold, dazzling crystal stones, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"I can manage, but for it..."

"This place doesn’t pose too much of a threat to Eclipse."

Examining Eclipse as it slowly uncoiled, Feng Yuan said lightly. Although Eclipse barely qualified as a Divine Beast, its strength wasn’t something Veronia could easily compare with, and its inherent Order meant that there weren’t many rules within the world’s confines that could affect Eclipse greatly.

This was why Feng Yuan wasn’t concerned that Eclipse would be affected by the pollution. The pollution here, even at its limits, remained within the range of the rules for Divine Beasts, making it almost impossible to significantly impact Eclipse.

Otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t dare keep Eclipse by his side; if it lost control, it would be disastrous.

It wasn’t that he was worried about Eclipse’s safety, but rather the stability of the Time River. A runaway Eclipse had the ability to destroy this special branch of time and spread its attacks throughout the Time River.

The external clouds became increasingly crimson. Although the light didn’t dramatically shift in brightness, the blood-red light was gradually tinting the earth red.

As the red glow completely replaced the white light, this world seemed to suddenly come alive, with various noises emerging incessantly. The forest’s unknown creatures also began their activities for the new day.

"It truly is, uncomfortable."

Glancing at the opened Dark Ancient Book and the golden Rune Chain Ring revolving around Feng Yuan, Veronia pondered for a while before rushing into Tamur’s Mythical Era Projection.

This wasn’t the time for bravado. Even though it didn’t have the ability to spread its attacks throughout the Time River, if it lost control, it would certainly lead to big trouble.

"You should go over there too. Otherwise, I need to split my power to protect you here."

Smiling at Xiao Ji and the others, Feng Yuan pointed to where Tamur was and said. There was no choice; the surrounding pollution power became heavy. If Xiao Ji and the others stayed by his side, the Dark Ancient Book would be forced to allocate a large amount of power to protect them from being affected.

"Not just spiritually, even the ambient energy is corrupted. Tsk, it’s truly insidious."

Watching Xiao Ji and the others head into the Mythical Era Projection, Feng Yuan said helplessly. With red dominating this space, even the environmental energy used for Ultimate Moves was polluted.

At such times, Xiao Ji and the others couldn’t utilize Ultimate Moves at all, as they didn’t have the ability to purify these corrupted energies.

"Alright, let’s move. I’m curious to see what strange things become active when day arrives."

Exchanging a glance with Eclipse, Feng Yuan smiled and said, stomping forcefully to leap off the blood-red crystal platform that he had no idea when it turned red, landing steadily on the ground.
