Zhanzheng Qichen looked at Feng Yuan with confusion and said,
"Didn’t I tell you that the ones attacking you were the blades of Yalmorde from the War Timeline?"
"Hmm, you did say that, but are you really sure? Just relying on rumors, it’s completely impossible to confirm this fact, right? If you’re wrong, it could lead to Yalmorde from the War Timeline getting involved in the war, which is no good."
Glancing at Zhanzheng Qichen, Feng Yuan replied, remembering clearly what Zhanzheng Qichen had said, but he couldn’t use that to make a judgment unless the other party provided evidence; otherwise, getting it wrong would be a big mess.
"This legend comes from Yalmorde, and I’ve received their recent reports that they’re moving their blades towards the Main World."
Zhanzheng Qichen said calmly, not seeming displeased by Feng Yuan’s doubts, and after pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan said,
"Since you say so, then the possibility of their action is not low, and since they’ve already moved towards the Main World... to which department do the blades belong? Front-line combat troops? Or the Enemy Action Group? Or the Intelligence Organization?"
"Enemy Action and Special Operations Assistance."
Answered without hesitation, Zhanzheng Qichen was very familiar with the blades of Yalmorde. After a short pause, Zhanzheng Qichen added,
"We’ve encountered them several times, so unless someone intentionally framed them, the ones who attacked you probably used the usual methods of the blades, and that special Anti-Divine Beast Rune is indeed their trump card."
"Hmm, if that’s the case, then... should we go and ask Yalmorde from the War Timeline with force?"
Blinking, Feng Yuan consulted the opinions of those around him. Qi Chen sighed and said,
"It’s best not to do that."
"I don’t think it’s a good choice. Even if you have the ability to enter the War Timeline alone, doing so might disrupt the current situation. It might get better, but it could also get worse."
Dou Yanlan also disapproved of Feng Yuan’s suggestion, mainly because they could not ensure that the subsequent impacts would be controllable, and at this moment, they really did not have the capacity to deal with more changes.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense, but not figuring out what’s really going on might pose a danger."
Looking at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan hesitantly said that even if nothing was done, it wouldn’t affect Feng Yuan much, but for Qi Chen, it was different; ignoring it might lead to unfortunate incidents occurring anytime.
"I will try to be mindful, no matter what. I believe they need at least two individuals to pull it off."
Zhanzheng Qichen cleared his throat and spoke in a low voice. After a long silence, Feng Yuan sighed and said,
"We have no choice but to proceed this way for now. But are you really okay?"
"They don’t know I’m here now, and even if they did, it doesn’t matter."
Zhanzheng Qichen was confident in his ability, as long as it wasn’t encountering Divine Beasts, he wasn’t really worried, and as for the Anti-Divine Beast Rune, that thing couldn’t stop him from escaping.
As long as Zhanzheng Qichen was not captured, even if Qi Chen got caught, it should still be safe. And as for whether the other party would ask East Continent Great Xia to require Zhanzheng Qichen’s assistance?
He wasn’t afraid of sacrifice but certainly would not let East Continent Great Xia go astray. Zhanzheng Qichen knew very well that opposing Feng Yuan would have no good outcome.
"Uh, wait, I thought of something!"
Just as Zhanzheng Qichen was about to take his leave alongside Feng Yuan and the others, Feng Yuan suddenly exclaimed loudly while Tamur gently swayed his body and said in response to Feng Yuan’s gaze,
"You want me to help?"
"That’s right, can you see the corresponding future fragments?"
Nodding, Feng Yuan had a hint of expectation, yet after a while, Tamur gave a disappointing answer.
"No, there is a very powerful force interfering, I can’t perceive any possibilities."
"Uh, you really can’t? But with such a strong force interfering... what are they plotting?"
Tamur’s answer left Feng Yuan a bit surprised because Tamur’s situation was quite unique, and many methods that limited prophecy were ineffective against it. Nevertheless, even so, Feng Yuan had not given up hope.
"If that’s the case, could Gladys help?"
"I don’t know."
Tamur circled around Feng Yuan once, gently swaying its body and said, indeed, it was unclear whether Gladys could assist Feng Yuan. After all, the divination methods of the Mordan Clan were indeed quite magical.
Feng Yuan wanted to consult Gladys, but at that moment, he could not abandon the team. Otherwise, the remainder of the group might be left with only a few, and as for Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan naturally would take them along if they departed.
Considering that Maomu City was not stable at the moment, Feng Yuan did not bring Gladys over but temporarily buried this doubt in his heart.
Later, they ran into assailants from Yalmorde again, but the opponents were very cautious. Even though Feng Yuan set several traps, he still couldn’t catch that guy.
"The operation has temporarily reached an end. What remains is the construction of the Temple, though it’s still unknown where it will be arranged in Maomu City."
Looking at the city filled with defensive fortifications in the distance, Feng Yuan stretched and exclaimed that there wasn’t much they could do, as there were quite a number of assailants along the way; aside from those targeting Qi Chen, there were also attackers from the Imperial Timeline.
Although the opponent’s attacks were only tentative, they nonetheless caused Feng Yuan considerable trouble.
"Finally back, huh? I wonder if Gladys might provide us with some clues."
Veronia sat atop Rainbow Bubbles and floated over to Feng Yuan, reminding him helplessly with a smile, Feng Yuan replied,
"Got it, I’ll contact her right now. Hmm, let’s disband the team here."
Taking out his phone, Feng Yuan said something to the leader, gathered Qi Chen and the others, and headed towards Maomu City. The team quickly lost its original order; though this mission was not particularly dangerous, it was still quite exhausting for them.
While Zhanzheng Qichen never appeared in person, he still remained within Feng Yuan’s range of perception, following Feng Yuan closely. Naturally, he was curious about the strange actions of Yalmorde but did not know the cause of these actions.
Unexpectedly, he had a feeling, though Yalmorde’s efforts were not solely directed against him and the current world version of himself, he was heavily entangled with their operations.
"Didn’t expect the trouble you guys encountered to be more severe than I thought."
Just as Feng Yuan met with Gladys, she tossed a recently drawn Divination Card at Feng Yuan, announcing,
That card had no text, only an extremely colorful card face depicting a giant whirlpool, inside which seemed to hide immense darkness and fear, no, it was something else entirely.
"This is..."
Looking at the divination card in his hand, Feng Yuan glanced at Gladys, confused. This divination card was strange; while it had a card face, it was inexplicable.
"A warning from destiny, a divination result that appeared on its own, it’s not my thing, but, it seems it’s not yours either."
Gladys said, glancing peculiarly at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan beside him. She could subtly sense that these two seemed to be entangled with some strange thing, no, rather than entangled, it was more like...
"Not mine?"
Scratching his head, following Gladys’ gaze, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and casually handed him the card, saying,
"You don’t mean that this thing is his... right?"
Watching as flames emerged from the card in Qi Chen’s hand, turning it into luminous ashes carried away by the wind, Feng Yuan furrowed his brows, pondering what exactly was going on.
"Mm-hmm, it seems very clear now, they’ve been targeted by some bizarre entity."
Shrugging, Gladys said without surprise. Even though she didn’t quite understand why Feng Yuan hadn’t noticed this, she had no doubts about her judgment, which was that Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan seemed to be targeted by something.
"A bizarre entity... tsk, this is really bothersome."
Glancing at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan felt a headache coming on. Their prowess was not particularly high, and he couldn’t exactly request Tamur to guard them around the clock, could he? Not to mention whether the other party would agree, even the effectiveness of such protection was questionable.
"So... do you know why they want to attack me?"
Qi Chen asked Gladys, looking troubled. Gladys smiled and shook her head, saying,
"I don’t know. An attack? What I see is only entangled, intertwined destinies..."
As she spoke, Gladys shot a glance at Feng Yuan, wondering why he hadn’t noticed anything.
"Entangled, intertwined destinies..."
Swayed by what Gladys said, Feng Yuan once again examined Qi Chen’s situation.
