Divine Beast Creator

After receiving the blessing of the temple, the ordinary people of Maomu City could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but for the powerful beastmasters, it was not yet time to relax.

There was no help for it, the temple could not completely block the enemy outside the city. At best, it merely restricted their movement methods. Not being able to leap through timelines for a surprise attack did not mean they couldn’t use conventional marching tactics to attack Maomu City.

To avoid being secretly approached by the enemy, Maomu City still maintained a patrol team system, even readjusted the patrol teams and routes. Initially, they only patrolled around Maomu City, but gradually extended patrols to ensure the safety of the main traffic lines from the city to the towns.

It seemed that everything was getting better. Although the war had not ceased, it was no longer as dangerous for ordinary people.

"I never expected the New Year event at Data Square to be held again."

At Data Square, Feng Yuan and Veronia were strolling around. The small events held at Data Square before the war had to be stopped during the outbreak of war. Now, as life gradually returned to peace, these activities unexpectedly resumed.

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said with a hint of annoyance,

"What else? They need to relax too."

Unlike Feng Yuan, others had quite a bit of pressure. After all, before the blessing of the temple, the Imperial people could attack the city district at any time, forcing everyone to be extra cautious. Now, although there was still the possibility of being ambushed, it was not as dangerous as before.

In this situation, some relaxing activities were resumed, not for the ordinary people, but for the busy beastmasters. Of course, Feng Yuan naturally didn’t need it.

Even though various chaotic problems kept arising during this time, and some matters had not been resolved even now, Feng Yuan did not feel much pressure. He had his strength to rely on; no matter what happened, he had the ultimate solution, so he was not very worried.

"Hehe, that seems to be the case, so let’s go fishing."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan suggested to Xiao Ji, the resuming activities were mainly various relaxing entertainment projects. Challenges like the Maze of Mirror were not held again. Now, Qi Chen and the others were on patrol, and Feng Yuan, alone, didn’t particularly want to play anything.

"Fishing seems nice, without any means, want to compete?"

Veronia challenged Feng Yuan with a glance, and the latter snorted, saying,

"A contest it is!"

Tamur watched Feng Yuan sprint towards the activity entrance and slowly floated over. For some reason, it always felt something was amiss, yet couldn’t pinpoint where the anomaly came from.

Looking at the sky, Tamur muttered softly,

"An omen of unease."

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan patrolled with the team. Compared to before, the patrol team was much more relaxed now. After all, their patrolling area was the one closest to Maomu City. The Imperial people would need to go through multiple defense lines to invade, and even if they could come through, not many people would.

Because of this, their chance of encountering danger significantly decreased, making them subconsciously lower their guard, even though they knew they shouldn’t.

"After the temple’s blessing, everyone is too lax; this isn’t a good thing."

Dou Yanlan glanced around and whispered to Qi Chen, who smiled wryly and said,

"I think if we leave the patrol team, it might be better for them."

Qi Chen had considered before that due to being targeted, if they left the patrol team, it might avoid implicating others. Unfortunately, because Dou Yanlan was good at commanding, the patrol team had persuaded them many times to stay, even though they knew someone was after them.

Or rather, in their view, even if Qi Chen and the others left the patrol team, it wouldn’t necessarily make it safer. Compared to the unknown assailants lurking around, the patrol team faced significant threats.

Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen could effectively help them avoid such threats. Even now, they couldn’t guarantee that the Imperial people wouldn’t send elite squads to raid Maomu City.

They didn’t understand why the Imperial people seemed mad, not messing with big cities like Shenhua City, and instead, picking on a no-name city like Maomu City.

But they all knew it wasn’t impossible for the Imperial people to send elite squads for a raid. Without Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, they still lacked confidence against elite squads, not just because of pure strength issues but because they might not detect the enemy’s presence in time.

For this reason, even though Qi Chen and the others explained their situation, the others still persuaded them to stay, as Qi Chen’s combat intuition was extremely effective against those raiders.

Unlike the others, Qi Chen was feeling uneasy; anyone who could leave Feng Yuan no choice but confusion wasn’t ordinary. Even the Imperial people hadn’t faced such a situation.

"Maybe it’s like that, but we don’t really have anything we must do now, and we don’t know when the person behind this will show up."

Dou Yanlan said calmly. Initially, she shared Qi Chen’s thoughts, but after persuasion from the commander, she felt it might not be wrong to stay.

Feng Yuan couldn’t stay outside the city for long, which meant even if they left the patrol team, they’d end up staying within the city. If the enemy came, it might not be ideal, even though they’d moved back to their dorms now.

"Hopefully, it’s just us worrying too much."

With a sigh, Qi Chen spoke words he didn’t believe himself. Just then, his phone rang, and after answering and pausing for a moment, he looked at Dou Yanlan in surprise and, after a long pause, said,

"Okay, I understand, we’ll come to find you as soon as we finish our patrol."

Putting down the phone, Feng Yuan looked at Zhanzheng Qichen and Bai You and said,

"In that case, come with me."

Feng Yuan hadn’t expected Zhanzheng Qichen to bring such important news. However, this news didn’t help them deduce who the mastermind was after all.

Sitting in the living room, Feng Yuan observed Bai You and said,

"So you mean you’ve discovered that a time correction has occurred on the war timeline, right? Moreover, something that originally didn’t exist has appeared in the original history."

Bai You and Zhanzheng Qichen only briefly explained the situation. Feng Yuan wasn’t clear on the specifics. Zhanzheng Qichen looked at Bai You and pondered for a moment before saying,

"Yes, there are discrepancies in our memories about Yalmorde. Although the files we’ve found prove her memory is wrong, but..."

"Time correction leaves no traces, so I can’t judge whether a time correction happened. However, theoretically, there shouldn’t be a time correction on a time tributary."

With slightly furrowed brows, Feng Yuan said this and looked at the two with a serious expression.

"The occurrence of time correction stems from the alteration of history. However, the time tributary itself doesn’t have a tangible history. Or to put it another way, from the Time River perspective, the history of a time tributary is an illusion in water and should not undergo continuous corrections."

The main timeline acts as the backbone of the normal world. Once history is altered, all time points after the alteration node are automatically corrected to ensure continuity in time.

However, the time tributary is different. Its only real existence is the present; the past is merely an illusion. Not only is there no way to manipulate it, even if there were, due to the lack of temporal continuity, theoretically, there’s no possibility of correction.

For the present of a time tributary, its history could even be referred to as a parallel world.

"So, is it my memory that’s faulty?"

Bai You skeptically stared at Feng Yuan, who slightly shook his head and said,

"Not necessarily, I need to confirm something with you: During this period, where were you staying?"

"You’re suspecting..."

Zhanzheng Qichen immediately caught on, and with a slight nod, Feng Yuan said,

"Theoretically, a time correction shouldn’t occur, and even if it did, she shouldn’t possess the power to exempt correction. I’m suspicious that this occurred when you were on the war timeline and she was on the main timeline."

Apart from time correction, there are other special circumstances that could cause such phenomena. But regardless of the type, in Feng Yuan’s view, Bai You shouldn’t have the capability to exempt correction.

The only possibility is that the other party was in a place the correction couldn’t reach. Because it wasn’t a regular time correction, there wouldn’t be a second correction occurrence. Thus, if one escaped the moment of the change, it was normal for their memory not to be affected.

And one relatively simple way is to jump to the main timeline, as the main timeline has its own unique rules. The time correction of a time tributary can’t affect those within the main timeline, even if they belong to the life of the time tributary.
