Divine Beast Creator

"Yanlan! Are you alright?!"

Seeing Dou Yanlan wake up, Qi Chen hurriedly leaned forward and asked anxiously, while Cotton blocked him with a dissatisfied meow, mostly because Dou Yanlan was wearing pajamas, and Cotton would get angry if he got too close.

"Umm... I should be fine."

Holding her head, Dou Yanlan sat up, surprised to see Qi Chen, and scanned the surroundings. Dou Yanlan didn’t see Feng Yuan’s figure, so she casually grabbed the jacket by the bed and wrapped it around herself, standing up and saying,

"Let me change clothes, Ah Chen, you should go change too. Perhaps, there won’t be a chance to rest tonight."

Not seeing Feng Yuan’s figure didn’t mean Dou Yanlan was unaware of what happened. Feng Yuan not being there only proved he went after the pursuer, but since Qi Chen was here, Feng Yuan couldn’t have gone far.

Scratching his head, Qi Chen smiled awkwardly and said,

"Uh, I was just a bit worried about you, I’ll head back right away. By the way, Feng Yuan said to go to his dorm once you wake up. Looks like we have somewhere to go."

"As expected... we have to act together because of us."

Dou Yanlan thought to herself; although she had to admit they were a bit of a burden, there was no choice. Facing an enemy who could even use dreams, they were too weak.

Qi Chen didn’t notice Dou Yanlan’s muttering as he hurried back to his dorm. Soon, the two of them gathered at Feng Yuan’s dormitory.

At this moment, in the backyard of Feng Yuan’s dorm, a blood-red space rift stood with crimson lightning. War Qi Chen stood there silently waiting. He wanted to rush in first to check, but Feng Yuan didn’t allow it. In his view, even though War Qi Chen wasn’t weak, he might not be a match for the unknown enemy.

"Even at night, it doesn’t settle down."

Veronia yawned and said, even though Feng Yuan didn’t specifically call for its help, it still came, not just because of Feng Yuan but also due to its curiosity about the unique shift in stance.

Although there was no evidence, attacking Qi Chen and the others now using such a special method as dreams made it hard not to suspect an association or even identity between the two.

"Sorry, we came late."

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan jogged over, and Feng Yuan glanced at them and shook his head slightly, saying,

"Late? Not really. That guy just runs very fast, but this space feels inexplicably eerie."

Gazing at the blood-colored space rift, Feng Yuan frowned slightly. The crimson lightning was because of Veronia’s intervention; otherwise, the rift would have naturally disappeared.

Like the previous special space, this one was also well-concealed. Without special means, even Feng Yuan didn’t dare to say he could find this space.

"Maybe it’s like the previous space, or maybe different. Either way, don’t stray too far from me."

With his right hand holding the black scythe, Feng Yuan said while looking at War Qi Chen, who nodded slightly, making way. Led by Feng Yuan, they entered the special space.

The blood-red rift was just an illusion. After passing through it, they found themselves in a mysterious special space. Here, various mirrors were everywhere, and outside the mirrors, countless golden runes floated.

"This place does seem like the mirror world, but is it not too quiet?"

Walking on the mirrors, Feng Yuan observed the surroundings and said. The place had infinite reflections, with images of themselves above, below, and around. Feng Yuan spread out his divine sense to lock onto Qi Chen and the others to prevent them from getting lost.

"This space is truly unique, infinite mirrors..."

Dou Yanlan said helplessly, looking at the familiar scene. She didn’t expect such an area behind the space rift. At this moment, Xiao Ji was bristling all over; the previous Maze of Mirror didn’t leave all pleasant memories.

"Should we not break it? Can we really see the path this way?"

Qi Chen looked puzzledly at Feng Yuan leading the way. They were sticking closely together, afraid to roam because in this unsettling environment, once separated, it would be tough to reunite.

"Spiritual power perception isn’t affected. As for vision, it’s not a big issue."

Feng Yuan said indifferently; War Qi Chen didn’t sense any problem with the place either. However, before Qi Chen could continue questioning, Feng Yuan suddenly stopped, looking at the stele that abruptly appeared ahead and said,

"This thing isn’t simple, and these should be Mythical Era writings, right?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia, who hadn’t focused on it before, immediately gazed forward. Within the infinite mirror images, an ancient green stele stood inexplicably before them.

The green stele wasn’t affected by the mirror, or rather, the mirrors couldn’t project this stele, making it particularly conspicuous among the infinite reflections.

"Seems so, although I can’t read the small text, the large one should say Challenge Trial Stele."

"How odd, why is there a stele using Mythical Era’s script in this space?"

Veronia identified the writings with some surprise, not that Mythical Era scripts were overly special, just that such things belonged exclusively to the main timeline.

Considering time branches didn’t have a Mythical Era, naturally, there were no related artifacts, making its presence here quite intriguing.

In their view, this space should be an effect of the concealed time branch. But if so, why the stele?

War Qi Chen cautiously raised a barrier and followed Feng Yuan closer to the stele. Though Feng Yuan seemed bold walking forward, close observation revealed he was tightly holding the black scythe, ready to act at any moment.

"Let me take a look."

Veronia floated forward to inspect the stele’s text. After a while, with a peculiar expression, Veronia looked at Tamur and said,

"What do you think?"

"It should be authentic; it’s a natural phenomenon."

"But why is it here?"

Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia was puzzled. It wasn’t just making things up; this space was inadvertently opened by tracking the dream-invading entity. It was also a unique space.

In their knowledge, such spaces couldn’t be dissociated from the hidden time branch.

But in this scenario, why is there a stele from the Main World? Could it be this space existed and was just utilized by them?

Is that possible? Veronia felt something off. The Main World wasn’t without hidden spaces, or rather, there were many hidden spaces and domains, but without Divine Beasts’ jurisdiction, those spaces were completely sealed_off.

Though existing, even Divine Beasts had difficulty entering, let alone connecting time branches to the Main World.

"Natural phenomenon? What’s written on it?"

Holding his chin, Feng Yuan examined the ancient stele, saying. Although he knew Mythical Era scripts, it wasn’t using common language; it seemed like a unique dialect of a certain nation.

In this case, even Feng Yuan couldn’t decipher the meaning of those scripts.

"Uh-huh, it’s written here about the trial challenge rules, specifically..."

The stele’s text was plenty, so Veronia took a while to finish translating.

The rules weren’t complicated, only restricting the power level minimum to Common Level, and if the challenge fails, it requires a week’s wait to attempt again.

Regarding the reward, it was also noted, but that detail puzzled Veronia.

Gaining its assistance? Such a reward baffled Veronia on what it even meant.

"Since it’s a trial, let me try it then."

Veronia suggested the others make some space, but as it placed its small hand on the stele following the instructions, the entire stele’s script suddenly turned red.

A phantom red script floated above the stele, unsurprisingly still in Mythical Era script.

"Trial passed and reward received, unable to challenge again? When did I ever challenge it?"

Reading aloud, Veronia seemed annoyed. Suddenly realizing something, Feng Yuan exclaimed,

"Could it be due to another stance? But if so, is that stance truly fine?"

Since he was just pondering this issue, Feng Yuan immediately linked it to the stance. As for verification, it was simple: he could try it himself.

But before Feng Yuan could make a move, War Qi Chen stepped up facing the stele and said,

"Then let me try it to see if it is indeed that thing."
