Divine Beast Creator

The hourglasses were even more numerous than Feng Yuan had imagined. Leaving the urban area of Maomu City, those winged red and green hourglasses flew around like mosquitoes and flies.

"These things, a single ultimate move, could either add time or reduce it."

Looking at the large clusters of hourglasses, Feng Yuan murmured to himself. Clearly, he couldn’t let Xiao Ji take action; otherwise, with an ultimate move, both adding and reducing time, the final outcome would be unpredictable.

"It’s really strange, the sheer number of these things, what’s going on?"

Veronia looked at the hourglasses in confusion. The sheer quantity was too much, and she didn’t think it was because of Feng Yuan’s presence that so many hourglasses appeared, as such a large amount seemed a bit suspicious.

"I don’t know, but this heap has more time-reducing than time-adding hourglasses. Xiao Ji, use your single-target ultimate move to clean them up slowly. Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, only hit the green hourglasses and avoid all the red ones."

Compared to Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan trusted the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound more. After all, its ability to control its ultimate move was much stronger. The Big Cat naturally joined the battle as well, and soon Feng Yuan and his team cleared all the green hourglasses in the area.

"The remaining red hourglasses won’t disappear naturally, perhaps..."

Looking at the group of leftover red hourglasses, Veronia looked thoughtfully at Feng Yuan, and he realized something, his expression turned grim as he said

"Would exiling them to the World’s Shadow cause a breakdown?"

"Let me try."

With a wave of her petite hand, Veronia sent the red figures into the World’s Shadow. After a moment, Veronia said

"No breakdown occurred, but is this really fine?"

Although the World’s Shadow is another realm, that place isn’t unreachable for other Spirit Beasts. Hearing this, Feng Yuan sighed and said with a wry smile

"Otherwise? We can’t just throw them into your World of Mirrors, can we? We can’t manage the Data Domain either. No, if they enter the Data Domain, whether a breakdown could occur is really hard to say."

Feng Yuan said as he glanced at the Big Cat; leaving these red hourglasses here wasn’t good. These things wouldn’t disappear on their own, and they were concentrated together. If someone wanted to cause trouble, a single ultimate move could reduce a significant amount of time.

The Big Cat whimpered as it used its ability to grab a few red hourglasses and tossed them into the Data Domain. After some testing, Feng Yuan’s expression grew grim as he said

"As expected, it’s not that easy."

The test results in the Data Domain were unimpressive. While it was possible to throw them in, hourglasses didn’t enjoy the benefits of the immortality trait within the Data Domain. However, this was understandable since the immortality rule was a benefit given to Life in the Main World by the Data Domain. These hourglasses couldn’t be considered Life.

Feng Yuan was merely trying things out, and failure wasn’t surprising. But not being able to dump them into the Data Domain, surely they couldn’t really be thrown into the World’s Shadow?

That place isn’t some inaccessible realm. Though not many Spirit Beasts can utilize the World’s Shadow, they aren’t few either. Besides the World’s Shadow, other Domains could also accommodate these hourglasses, but...

Except for Veronia’s World of Mirrors, which is controlled by her and inaccessible to others, no other domains have this advantage. Feng Yuan even thought about trying exiling them to the Yin World.

However, upon careful thought, exiling to the Yin World might trigger destruction. Even if it doesn’t, the commotion would be too great. After all, these hourglasses weren’t only found around Maomu City. If one wanted to prevent sabotage, a large number of red hourglasses globally would need to be exiled to a secure place.

"It seems there isn’t a space for us to intervene."

Veronia chuckled softly and said. Though she and Feng Yuan could help clean up and even temporarily seal the remaining red hourglasses in the World of Mirrors,

this number is just a drop in the ocean globally and can’t affect the final outcome.

"That’s not entirely true. We can say this time it’s about the overall sentiment and whether they can prevent the Imperial People from causing trouble in this period."

With a sigh, Feng Yuan shook his head and said, although he could try other methods, the limitations of these hourglasses had been reached. Why should he take on such a responsibility?

"In that case, while clearing them up, let’s wander around and see if we find Qi Chen’s team."

Feng Yuan, holding a black Longbow, proposed to Veronia, who hummed softly and didn’t refuse. Mainly, they had already cleared this area of hourglasses, and judging by the situation, it seemed unlikely to replenish.

In such a situation, naturally, they should support others and even see if they can encounter Imperial People.

Although Veronia felt that the Imperial People were unlikely to appear near Maomu City at this time, who knows what those people might think.

Compared to Feng Yuan’s situation, Qi Chen’s side was a bit chaotic, mainly because there were many participants in their action, and with so many people taking action at once, the scene became extraordinarily chaotic.

If it weren’t for the results of their training during this period, this wave of actions might have cleared all the hourglasses, which isn’t ideal either. These hourglasses are a mix of red and green; clearing green hourglasses adds time, whereas red hourglasses reduce it.

This time, Dou Yanlan and other Commanders had to step up to lead the team, otherwise relying solely on that Commander would probably not precisely control the team.

However, as the green hourglasses became less, they sensed something was off. If this were a game, after clearing the green hourglasses, the red ones should disappear on their own.

Even if they don’t disappear, new green hourglasses should spawn; however, that wasn’t the case.

Apparently, the hourglasses only spawn once, and upon clearing the green ones, the reds showed no sign of disappearing. Though flying around, they stayed fixed within the area.

"How should we handle this? If they’re left here and someone casually clears them, wouldn’t that be a problem?"

Unable to hold back, Qi Chen asked Dou Yanlan. Even he could tell these shouldn’t remain here, yet he lacked a solution.

"Trap them or station guards, though these hourglasses are easily destroyed; they might not hold."

After pondering for a moment, Dou Yanlan said in frustration. Unlike Feng Yuan, they didn’t have means like Feng Yuan. Not counting the World of Mirrors, they couldn’t even open the unsafe World’s Shadow.

Under normal circumstances, no Beastmaster would need such skills. Surely it wasn’t viable to toss them into places like the Dream Domain?

Those realms aren’t exactly safe; not to mention the occasional visitor, even within the Dream Domain, there exist unique Nightmare creatures. Those beings might perceive red hourglasses as invaders and break them.

"I didn’t expect the real challenge wasn’t finding hourglasses but deciding how to handle them."

Sighing, Dou Yanlan said she believed even if problems arose on their end, the overall impact should be minimal. Given the numbers, she could deduce the global count of hourglasses was probably staggering.

Even so, she wasn’t inclined to give up easily. If everyone thought this way, that’d be troublesome.

Though they didn’t know the exact function of the Temple, the commotion it stirred was definitely not simple, and they couldn’t easily abandon the Temple.

The Red Fire Team wasn’t participating in the main force’s action mainly because they were still in Liantang Town; nonetheless, they were involved in the hourglass cleanup.

"I didn’t expect your previous idea, Han Mo, came true."

While eliminating green hourglasses, Yang Hongzhi said with some joy, but Qiu Hanmo wasn’t as optimistic as Yang Hongzhi. His intuition told him the Temple might not be as he imagined.

After all, he hadn’t forgotten the remarks Feng Yuan made earlier; there was no reason to have a Temple replace that pathway, perhaps both were merely coincidentally named.

If it’s not a Temple granting Divine Beast’s Power to Ordinary Spirit Beasts, then it might be a Temple for sacrificing to Divine Beasts. Given it has such trials, the sacrificial aspect might not be straightforward.

Though Qiu Hanmo didn’t know the truth, he inferred quite a bit based on the available information. Thinking of something, he looked at Najia beside Yang Hongzhi.

If his guess isn’t wrong, it probably knows something.
