Divine Beast Creator

When Gitalien received Veronia’s message, he thought she was joking. After all, the situation here was still unclear, and there was trouble coming from elsewhere? Unfortunately, Veronia wasn’t joking. With a sense of resignation, he informed the other Divine Beasts and once again headed to where Feng Yuan was located.

"It’s Luoyan Forest, didn’t expect them to come here."

Although Luoyan Forest is still within the borders of Great Xia, it is quite far from Maomu City. Maomu City is in the southern Xia, while Luoyan Forest is in the northeast region. Feng Yuan didn’t understand why the space would link these two places, or perhaps that special domain itself was very peculiar.

"Its internal space is chaotic and disordered, which is a feature found only in high-level domains."

Veronia said in amazement. The "high-level" she mentioned isn’t about the degree of order, rather, the higher the domain, the fewer internal rules there are. Unlike the world, the domain requires specialization in a single rule, and the more that single rule evolves perfectly, the more chaos appears.

In such a situation, most natural rules are replaced by the single rule. But since it isn’t a legitimate corresponding rule, chaos naturally arises after replacement.

"I wonder what exactly is going on in that space. How about letting Nagna come and take a look? This thing might be related to life."

Feng Yuan gently pinched his chin and said while looking at Veronia, who rolled her eyes and said in annoyance.

"Rather than that, why not directly find Long Boduo? Compared to the Life Divine Beast, the Ghost Series Divine Beast at least involves the soul."

In fact, from Veronia’s perspective, Feng Yuan investigating this space himself might be more convenient than having them do it, as this place seems to be intrinsically linked to souls.

"Involving souls... That’s true. However, if that’s the case, they might be more suitable."

"Shi and Xilnais? In their case, they would indeed be more suitable, but is there a need?"

Perplexed, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan, not expecting him to choose them. It should be noted that Shi and Xilnais are different from their group of Divine Beasts. They’re Guardian Gods of the Yin World, and under normal circumstances, wouldn’t appear in the real world, let alone participate in investigations.

"After all, aside from the trial, this space is also a pathway for someone to invade. If we can’t figure it out, the trouble would be significant. This time, it was dream invasion; who knows what it will be next time?"

With a gesture of resignation, Feng Yuan spoke with a face full of helplessness. If possible, he didn’t want to make such a big fuss about investigating, but the methods of the opponent were becoming increasingly hard to defend against. If it weren’t for War Qi Chen being near him, perceiving the strange aura, a real incident might have happened.

He couldn’t just have Qi Chen and the others all come and live together because of this. Not to mention how inconvenient it would be, doing so might incite the opponent to attack from another angle.

"You’re thinking of chasing them down through this? That’s quite difficult."

Veronia didn’t have high hopes for it. Finding concealed timelines isn’t easy, let alone when the opponent acts repeatedly, making them hard to catch.

"What other choice do we have? We can’t just let them continue with surprise attacks like this forever."

Sighing, Feng Yuan spoke wearily. The Imperial Timeline surprise attacks were one thing, but didn’t expect this hidden timeline to cause trouble as well.

While Feng Yuan and Veronia were chatting, Gitalien arrived and first looked at the Stele, curiously trying to make contact. After a moment, Gitalien came to his senses and looked at the Stele, saying

"This thing affects us as well; let Nagna not approach this for now, at least not in its current state."

"Hmm, is it also a trial for you?"

Feng Yuan looked at Gitalien with some surprise; he didn’t expect this situation. Nodding, Gitalien turned to Veronia and Tamur, saying

"Did you not try?"

"Mm-hmm, I already acquired an Attack Stance before this, so I can’t now."

Veronia replied with ease, this wasn’t its fault. The Stele didn’t offer a trial; there’s nothing much it can do. Tamur swayed gently, saying

"Not interested, afraid of danger."

"Hmm, while challenging, as long as one can remain rational, it’s not too difficult. However, this stance..."

Gitalien said as black-red flames emerged from his body. Currently, Gitalien was in human form; nonetheless, even in this form, he underwent changes.

The original clothing transformed into heavy metal armor, black-red flames twisting around the armor. Beside it, space subtly distorted and was on the brink of collapse.

"Is this your Attack Stance? It looks quite strong."

Squinting slightly, Veronia didn’t expect Gitalien’s changes to be so immense. Being a Space Divine Beast, Gitalien’s offensive capabilities were naturally strong, or rather, its lean was towards offense.

Yet even so, this stance turned it into a sharp blade exuding an intimidating chill.

"The Ultimate Move has changed, no longer just space, but... is it the power of destruction?"

Gitalien puzzledly said, raising his right hand slightly. A black sphere appeared out of thin air nearby. In the next moment, the sphere rapidly expanded then contracted into a black dot, and during this process, space was pulled and swallowed in synchronization during contraction. In a moment, the black dot exploded. Gitalien waved his hand, a black Crystal Wall stood before everyone to block the shock wave of the explosion, which had reached Divine Beast Level in power.

"That’s truly an amazing technique. For you, it seems like quite good news, doesn’t it?"

Veronia couldn’t help but tease. Returning to his original form, Gitalien smiled wryly and said

"I don’t think it’s good news; extreme destruction severely limits flexibility. Although useful at times, certainly."

Even he had to admit, during moments requiring strong offense, the attack stance yields surprising effects. As for other times? Forget it; the power of destruction makes no distinction between friend or foe, and using this would mean Gitalien has to be prepared to fight alone.

"Are you planning to head back now? Should I transport you?"

Remembering something, Gitalien looked at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen, and the others, curiously posing the question to Feng Yuan. After all, this place is quite far from Maomu City. Earlier, they could use public transport to return, but now, Gitalien’s Space Gate is likely the easiest option.

"No need, let’s wait a while; I want Shi and Xilnais to help investigate the endpoint of this space, especially the parts deep into the Time River."

Gesture of rejection, Feng Yuan spoke. Hearing this, Gitalien recalled something and said

"Are you implying this space is connected to the hidden timeline you predicted, and that those entities can utilize this space for surprise attacks?"

"What else? We followed the traces they left behind to come here, and this time it was dream invasion."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan spoke irritably. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s remarks, Gitalien was taken aback and said

"Dream invasion?"

Checking Qi Chen and the others, Gitalien understood that Feng Yuan must have intervened. Otherwise, with this group, it’s clear they struggle against such a unique technique.

"Indeed. Hence this time, I intend to ask Shi and Xilnais to conduct the investigation; after all, these things are directly connected to the soul."

Nodding, Feng Yuan spoke with a bit of concern. This technique, while common, he couldn’t be certain wouldn’t change to something more ominous down the line.

"If they take action, the impact might be significant."

"No choice; last time we let them escape through the Time River. This time, no matter what, they can’t slip away so easily."

Sighing, Feng Yuan said, looking towards the sky, which once again underwent changes, as Shi and Xilnais forcibly opened links between worlds.

"Wait, are you planning to have them act together? What about Yin World?!"

Realizing something, Gitalien asked in shock. Shi and Xilnais, being Guardian Gods of the Yin World, aren’t on par with ordinary Divine Beasts. If they act, wouldn’t Yin World be defenseless?!

"Temporary investigation, and they won’t both leave Yin World completely; it’s not a major issue."

Feng Yuan casually replied. He hadn’t ignored this concern, but Shi and Xilnais were the strongest assets he could enlist for the investigation.

Unavoidably, the opponent escaping through the Time River last time left Feng Yuan resentful. This time, the opponent’s methods are ineffective against Shi and Xilnais!
