Divine Beast Creator

The sound of accusations, sighs, and heartfelt persuasion was incessant, but Old Wei remained completely unmoved, even though some of those voices were now unheard and could not affect him in the slightest.

Regret? Sadness? That’s not something he should be considering right now. Until he stops, he shouldn’t pause for these feelings. Moreover, he already understands how to pass through here.

Though unwilling, he can only let his once calm heart ripple again.

Forcing himself to become angry, Old Wei felt the surrounding changes happening. As expected, the concept of anger also belonged to the element of fire. Ha, what a strange set of rules.

Perhaps due to his habitual distraction, the anger Old Wei had painstakingly gathered instantly dissipated, and the distorted space reverted to its original state. Sighing, Old Wei could only attempt again.

Gladys also realized that passing through this checkpoint probably has something to do with the disappearing anger. However, unlike Old Wei, she doesn’t have much experience controlling her emotions. Even after recognizing the key to passing, she found herself unable to muster any anger.

If it wasn’t for this, Gladys might not have realized this special condition either.

Sadly, even knowing it leaves her helpless for the moment.

As Gladys continued her efforts, the surrounding space shattered like broken glass shards. Old Wei just glanced at Gladys before turning to punch towards the nearby space again.

Soon, under Old Wei’s attacks, the space trapping everyone shattered completely, and they gathered together once more, but as they proceeded, a huge hourglass appeared before them.

In front of the hourglass stood a stele, and the sand was continuously falling. Judging by the sand falling down, this thing probably starts only when they get close.

"Time limit? No... this is..."

Seeing the hourglass, the first thought among everyone was a time constraint, yet after reading the contents on the stele, they realized they had underestimated the temple’s trial.

The hourglass was indeed a countdown; however, this time was not fixed. As they reached this hall, two special hourglass phantoms would be synchronously released across the entire domain of the real world.

These things are similar to Spirit Beasts but are not life forms; they don’t attack proactively but will naturally counterattack when attacked. Depending on the type, killing them will increase or decrease the sand waiting to fall in the hourglass.

In other words, their challenge time is directly influenced by the outside world.

"I don’t want to pin my hopes on others."

Old Wei just glanced at the others, left the team, and moved towards one of the paths. According to the stele’s record, they all need to challenge these paths and only pass through them all within the time limit to clear the level.

Exchanging a glance with Lanadi, Gladys sighed and said

"Don’t mind him. We don’t have his kind of strength; it’s better to act together with more people. After all, there’s already a warning on it that we’ll face quite intense battles."

Outside, with the temple activated, various speculations cropped up endlessly until the rule announcement appeared, making them understand what had happened. Many people linked the sudden emergence of rule announcements in the sky to the recent abnormal behavior of Divine Beasts, guessing what might be going on.

"In theory, everyone should break the hourglasses that increase time to buy them more time, but..."

Feng Yuan also saw that announcement, but he wasn’t very optimistic about it. Whether out of malice or other reasons, he always felt some people would deliberately break the hourglasses that reduce time.

"Agunas probably wouldn’t have foreseen this happening either."

Veronia mumbled and floated up to Feng Yuan, looking at him and said

"What do you plan to do?"

"Well, of course go out and see. Mainly, Qi Chen and the others can’t possibly ignore this. This action is really... If the Imperial People seized an opportunity, it wouldn’t be good."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan also hadn’t expected the temple trial to yield this kind of thing. Clearly this thing aims to mobilize all forces of the Main World, but this will create defense vulnerabilities everywhere.

As for not caring about it? Feng Yuan doesn’t think that’s a good choice at all, although he doesn’t know originally how much time was left for the challenge team, he can be sure if ignored, the time will run out quickly.

"I think, Magic Mechanized Soldiers would be the best help right now. Although they aren’t of much use in sieges, at times like these, aren’t Magic Mechanized Soldiers effectively increasing our numbers in battle?"

Calling out to the departing Qi Chen, Qi Xiaoshuang spoke up to stop him. She was quite familiar with Magic Mechanized Soldiers, but Qi Chen likely found them troublesome and seldom used those things.

After all, during large-scale battle operations, those things indeed carry little meaning, but right now, it’s the perfect moment to unleash their power.

"Ah Mu is not familiar with Magic Mechanized Soldiers, but you are right."

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Chen turned back inside, hands on hips, and Qi Xiaoshuang sighed and mumbled

"Honestly, it’s a shame I can’t go out, or else..."

Glancing at the White Shadow Wolf beside her, Qi Xiaoshuang picked him up and headed towards the sofa. Although she didn’t wish for Qi Chen to go out either, this time, she had no reason to stop Qi Chen from doing what he deemed right, even though, in Qi Xiaoshuang’s eyes, it was a very dangerous action.

She wanted to stay by Qi Chen’s side, at least when he encounters danger, she could lend a hand, but alas, she knew this was impossible. Even with Magic Mechanized Soldiers, she would only be a burden. Qi Chen didn’t know Qi Xiaoshuang’s thoughts; he looked at her and said helplessly

"This isn’t some fun activity. Those hero stories, watch less of them."

"Hmph!"

With hands on her hips, Qi Xiaoshuang was quite dissatisfied with Qi Chen’s words, but unfortunately, he was in a hurry to leave and didn’t pay much attention to her.

The sudden rule announcement plunged the entire Main World into chaos. Many people, like Qi Chen, planned to participate and assist, yet there were others among them aiming to cause disruptions.

Feng Yuan didn’t specifically look for Qi Chen; as long as he wandered around nearby, he could surely run into them. Moreover, Feng Yuan also wanted to see if, when the Imperial People took action, would the target be on himself or on Qi Chen.

Zhanzheng Qichen hasn’t appeared because his current situation isn’t good. Although the East Continent Great Xia’s envoy is not in Maomu City, at this time, Maomu City has live reports about this action. Once he appears on camera, who knows what might happen.

Thus, Zhanzheng Qichen was just hiding in a residential house prepared by the Special Duty Team, glanced at Bai You beside him, and said calmly

"How do you feel?"

"Hmph! Our world surely has similar things!"

Bai You understood what Zhanzheng Qichen meant but remained defiant. She knew very well that such things couldn’t appear in the Imperial Timeline but still refused to admit Zhanzheng Qichen’s viewpoint.

Zhanzheng Qichen did not continue discussing this matter further. He was unsure what the Temple truly was, but he was certain of one thing; causing such a huge commotion, the Temple is undoubtedly complex.

Yet, he was not surprised at all about this. Given that the Main World was called the Main World, enjoying privileges is pretty normal. He even suspected if the Imperial Timeline successfully suppressed the Main World to the extreme, something more terrifying than Divine Beasts might emerge to turn the tide. This is precisely why Zhanzheng Qichen has always tried to form an alliance between East Continent Great Xia and Great Xia.

Knowing they can’t defeat their opponent, why bother trying? If there were no downsides, so be it, but if they try, the consequences must be borne collectively by everyone in East Continent Great Xia.

"You aren’t thinking to help them with something still, are you? Sometimes I doubt how you managed to curry favor with Great Xia of this world. Truly don’t know what kind of enchantment they’ve given you."

Bai You glared at Zhanzheng Qichen, showing discontent. In her view, Great Xia was strong, but not the unbeatable kind of strong. Not to mention, compared to the Main World, the Imperial Timeline might not be much better either. At least, they couldn’t achieve the one-mind cohesive unity like the Imperial Timeline.

Such an enemy, even if possessing strange and formidable powers, what’s to fret about?

Bai You hasn’t witnessed the Parallel World Battle. She didn’t know that, in her eyes, the powerful Anti-Divine Beast Rune truly doesn’t hold much advantage in that setting.
