Divine Beast Creator

During the war, Meng Binglan’s research institute temporarily suspended its original projects, or rather, to respond to the invasion of the Imperial Timeline, Meng Binglan chose to change all research directions to focus on countering the invasion from the Imperial Timeline.

After all, before the Temple emerged, they could only try to distract the enemy by placing the battlefield on enemy territory to prevent the cities from suffering repeated direct attacks.

Even now, Meng Binglan is busy studying war-related matters, and as for the usual research, she can only wait for the right time. However, she feels that this opportunity won’t come anytime soon.

That special stance shift must be researched promptly, and if it’s valuable, it can be prioritized for battlefield deployment.

Perhaps because she’s been thinking about how to counter the Imperial Timeline lately, even now, Meng Binglan’s first thought is how to apply it in the fight against the Imperial Timeline, even though the Temple has joined and the scales of victory are already leaning in their favor.

In her busy schedule, Meng Binglan welcomed the next day’s sunrise and the early-arriving Feng Yuan, who arrived yawning. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan incredulously, as in its impression, Feng Yuan rarely woke up so early.

As for the Big Cat he specifically called over?

Due to its experiences in the Qi Realm Timeline, it guessed something. After all, when it comes to research ability, what Spirit Beast is more useful than a scholar owl verified by a timeline?

Even Meng Binglan was surprised at Feng Yuan’s early arrival. However, despite forcing herself to rest for a night, consecutive busy days left her out of spirits, so she didn’t think too much about it.

...

"These are basically our experiences in the Qi Realm Timeline. As for whether they will become enemies, that’s hard to say. At least my view is that those people currently lack the initiative to invade."

After sharing the intelligence of the Qi Realm Timeline, Feng Yuan added a remark. Seeing Meng Binglan’s weary appearance, he could guess what she had gone through, and decided not to give her too much pressure at this moment.

Moreover, Feng Yuan truly didn’t believe the Qi Realm Timeline would intervene. No, the other side really doesn’t have the capability. Directly crossing the Time River is likely very difficult for them. To travel through the Qi Realm?

It’s not that Feng Yuan looks down on them; even in the Main World, without the help of Divine Beasts, thinking of using the Qi Realm to reach other timelines is really overthinking it. The Spirit Contamination Level is simply not at the same level.

The Spirit Contamination Level on the Time River is close to the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm. Those people could cross, but knowing that spirit contamination resides permanently, why would they do such a reckless thing?

Aren’t they afraid of further fueling the current Disaster Tide outbreak?

"I see, I didn’t expect that strange Alien God Space to have such an origin."

Listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, Meng Binglan nodded thoughtfully, and after a pause, Feng Yuan realized she was referring to the Qi Realm. Looking at Meng Binglan speechlessly, Feng Yuan said.

"Why give the Qi Realm such a strange name, an Alien God Space? Why not call it Ancient God Space?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Meng Binglan replied crossly.

"There’s no Stele with the name, who knows the true name is Qi Realm. Plus, that area is too peculiar, it’s like some evil god polluted it, so naming it this way is quite normal."

"However, considering the Qi Realm itself has spirit contamination and such special characteristics, whether to master the stance requires careful consideration."

Even without deep research, her intuition told her the issues with the Qi Realm were not that simple and straightforward. A Qi Realm spanning three time streams is definitely more than just a simple source of pollution.

But how to leverage the Qi Realm Stance needs great caution. Even though the Main World has Divine Beasts, they cannot avoid the fact that the Qi Realm possesses spirit contamination.

Stance itself is born from this contamination, or one might say, it’s another kind of personality? Whether this thing will impact one’s personality is probably not an answer that can be obtained quickly.

As for Spirit Beast Decoration, even though it can enhance stance ability, in her view, researching that thing holds little significance when the prospects of the Qi Realm Stance are still unknown.

Adding scholars owls to more research projects?

To be honest, this isn’t something Meng Binglan can decide, and they may not be willing either. Concentrating scholars owls on research concerning the Qi Realm Timeline still poses many issues in her view.

Through Feng Yuan’s description, she also noticed this, as after all, they are Spirit Beasts; scholars owls almost completely avoid war matters and research with moral flaws.

However, what they urgently need now is this kind of content. She doesn’t naively believe that just eliminating the Imperial Timeline will be the end of it. Whether the War Timeline and the Main World will clash remains unknown, and vigilance against the Qi Realm Timeline cannot be relaxed. Those seemingly harmless beings might unexpectedly show their fangs at any moment.

Merely relying on the Temple cannot ensure the city’s safety.

"I was originally considering how to research that peculiar stance; now it’s not too late. However, there’s one thing I’d like you to help assist with, although I feel there might be exceptions, it’s just..."

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Meng Binglan glanced at Veronia. Understanding her thoughts, Veronia remained silent for a moment and then said.

"You’re right, if there is a hidden danger, it’s indeed not good news. However, I feel the impact might not be significant, maybe because I’ve experienced too much and become desensitized."

It didn’t dare claim to have vast knowledge, but having experienced so much, Veronia was still hard to judge as a conventional example, especially considering its Divine Beast identity further weakens the credibility of conclusions drawn from it.

No matter what, it cannot be denied that Divine Beasts often enjoy too many advantages, and if they are used to make judgments, problems might arise.

"I understand, but if even Divine Beasts struggle to avoid hidden dangers, then..."

Seeing Veronia seemed inclined to agree, Meng Binglan hurriedly said. If even Divine Beasts have hidden dangers, they can only prohibit anyone from lightly touching that thing unless facing a critical fight.

Moreover, this brings another issue: whether affected Divine Beasts pose risks.

This was also the reason why Veronia said that; after all, it and Gitalien have both encountered and possess stances, as for War Qichen? It couldn’t care less.

Seeking insights into potential impacts on the spirit is inherently challenging, especially when it’s about long-lived beings like Divine Beasts. To this end, Meng Binglan can only turn to friends for indirect information through psychological testing. Although this approach is quite inaccurate, it’s their only option.

"Fortunately, your intelligence includes descriptions of extreme character splits; otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy."

Sighing, Meng Binglan set down the teacup in her hand and spoke to Feng Yuan. Her friend is still busy at the moment, and Veronia has no objections to this test. It’s also curious what results human psychological testing would produce on it.

Unfortunately, this process won’t be quick. Especially when probing psychological hazards of Divine Beasts, this is probably the first time even for her friend.

"That’s just the traits that are displayed. If it’s merely lurking contamination, it shouldn’t be that obvious, or after extreme split it might generate a Soul Projection. Yet, people of the Qi Realm aren’t aware of contamination having a lurking condition."

Shaking his head slightly, Feng Yuan said helplessly. In this aspect, even he is powerless; he really has no method to resolve this matter.

"However, the stance doesn’t significantly enhance combat power. I sense you’re planning to focus heavily on researching the Qi Realm Stance recently?"

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan curiously looked at Meng Binglan, as in his view, this thing seems less effective than improving strength through the Crystal Domain.

"I tend to overthink, but if a city falls, the Qi Realm Stance might be the last means of resistance for ordinary people. Although instances are rare, there’s at least one point: altered stances in Spirit Beasts generally possess considerable combat ability, correct?"

Sighing deeply, Meng Binglan spoke to Feng Yuan. Perhaps she’s worrying too much, but in her view, the Qi Realm Stance is indeed a fascinating thing, even comparable to the Crystal Domain.

After all, it’s akin to directly transforming Beast Tamers not suitable for combat into proficient combatants. If not for the strong side effects, it might directly surpass the Crystal Domain and become mainstream.
