Divine Beast Creator

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan was not an official of Qi Hua City; she was only involved in the evacuation operation because she happened to be in town for a meeting, so she just needed to report to her superiors to disengage from her current patrol duty.

However, she didn’t expect her report to be seen by Han Qiuyue, who still harbored doubts about Feng Yuan and his group. After all, they were outsiders, only acquaintances met a few times, making it difficult for her to trust them.

As for the power issue that Qi Realm Dou Yanlan mentioned, she didn’t quite believe it. Or rather, unless she saw it with her own eyes, it was hard for anyone to believe that someone younger than her could have strength far surpassing her own, especially in the Qi Realm timeline where Divine Beasts did not exist, and superpowers were concentrated within the Qi Realm.

What the world saw was only the conventional route of Beast Taming Advancement. In fact, due to a lack of many Qi Realm-derived powers, it was almost impossible to surpass one’s Order level to confront an enemy.

Even a genius, within a fixed system without supplementary forces, couldn’t achieve such a feat.

"It seems there’s a little tail following us."

Veronia glanced behind with a strange expression and remarked, Han Qiuyue thought she had hidden well, or rather, her stalking skills were high, such that even Qi Realm Dou Yanlan hadn’t noticed. Yet, due to strength limitations, her actions were very obvious in the eyes of Veronia and the others.

Feng Yuan was no exception; Han Qiuyue wasn’t tracking for long before he noticed. But considering that they were about to investigate the origin of the Calamity Ritual, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.

The other party had a good relationship with Qi Realm Dou Yanlan—at least on the surface—so Feng Yuan believed she wouldn’t act against them at such a time, as doing so would harm their interests, not Feng Yuan’s.

"Little tail?"

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan was unaware of this, and upon hearing Veronia’s words, her eyes narrowed with vigilance, scanning around, while War Qichen only glanced at Feng Yuan before putting down the ultimate move he had instantly conjured.

Judging by Feng Yuan’s reaction, the stalker was probably not an enemy, but War Qichen didn’t know who exactly it was.

"If this world has already investigated the calamity multiple times, I think a simple space shouldn’t suffice to conceal the presence of the ritual. If it’s a special hidden space..."

Looking up at the sky and observing clouds rolling in from nowhere, Feng Yuan muttered, gesturing, and the Dark Ancient Book floated open before him. Simultaneously, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, while keeping an eye on the surroundings to find the stalker, said,

"You mean the person initiating the ritual is not in the city?"

"No, they should be in a special space; otherwise, there’s no way you wouldn’t detect a thing. However, such special spaces are hard to find. I plan to try something that might make them think it’s an attack. What do you think?"

The Dark Ancient Book slowly turned its pages as Feng Yuan spoke, turning to look at Qi Realm Dou Yanlan. If she disagreed, he wouldn’t proceed. Investigating in the main space wasn’t without clues; after all, some traces were hard to hide from Divine Beasts and him.

But finding those traces this way would be quite troublesome since they must be well-hidden, or someone would’ve discovered them already.

"I think it’s worth a try. Even if considered an attack and causing some trouble, there’s at least a chance to uncover the truth of the Calamity Ritual."

Dou Yanlan seriously replied to her self from the Qi Realm timeline, and after a silent moment, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan said,

"Alright, no need to report it. I’ll explain as much as I can afterwards."

"Hmm, well then... let’s begin!"

Having received permission from Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan no longer suppressed the power. A large number of golden Runes emerged from the Dark Ancient Book, not forming a Rune Chain but instead floating towards the Eclipse in mid-air.

Surrounded by the golden Runes, the shape of the Eclipse began to change, becoming more menacing, and with a roar, the entire space seemed quivered by the sound.

Veronia curiously glanced at Feng Yuan, surprised that the Dark Ancient Book could empower the Eclipse, knowing that its Order level was already beyond the strengthening capabilities of most ultimate moves.

Not that those ultimate moves couldn’t affect the Eclipse, but beyond the scope, they couldn’t provide effects that break through upper limits.

The strengthening of the Dark Ancient Book was different, as even the Eclipse was clearly beyond limits in terms of strength.

Yet, what Veronia didn’t understand was what Feng Yuan intended to do by intensifying the Eclipse and enhancing its strength limit at this moment.

With continuous roars shaking the space, while everyone was puzzled, a crack tore open in the sky, revealing the silhouette of Xilnais behind the tear. From the crack, a Black Chain shot out, piercing into the city, along with the sound of breaking glass echoed in everyone’s ears, Veronia gave a surprised glance at Feng Yuan.

It understood what the other party had done: causing the Eclipse to shake the space to expose hidden special spaces, allowing Xilnais to seize the opportunity to breach the barrier of the special space from the Yin World.

No matter how special a space is, once its barrier is breached, it could not remain as hidden as before, but when it saw the Black Chain piercing through the heavens, Veronia said,

"This might cause an even bigger misunderstanding."

No matter how it was viewed, making such a commotion made it nearly impossible to avoid misunderstanding, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Possibly, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. After breaching the space, with more eyewitnesses around, it’s easier to avoid suspicions that we did something."

It’s not that Feng Yuan was overly cynical of human nature but simply didn’t want the hassle.

On the side, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan didn’t entirely agree with this. Making such a fuss at this time might negatively impact the evacuation operation, but on further thought, it wasn’t much of an issue.

Due to the Time Combat Department being established and housed here, Qi Hua City had ample official manpower so that even if unexpected changes occurred, there could be sufficient personnel to handle the situation.

And as Feng Yuan had said, having more people witness could actually be advantageous for future matters. Qi Realm Dou Yanlan well understood that if everything required her to prove herself, superiors would eventually lose trust in her.

Even if she was speaking the truth, it wouldn’t matter since her authority wasn’t high enough to make unilateral decisions.

The breached space wall, like a shattered mirror, revealed a blood-colored world behind, where chaotic emotions lingered. One need not enter; just observing from afar could sense the extreme chaos in emotion.

But for this reason, no one needed more than a glance to understand that place must be closely related to the Qi Realm.

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan and Han Qiuyue weren’t so clear on the relationship between those chaotic emotions and the Qi Realm, but that strange space resembled the Qi Realm so much that they instinctively believed it to be a special space of the Qi Realm.

"It’s a bit odd, that space, seemingly linked to the Qi Realm yet independent."

Veronia puzzlingly observed that shattered space wall. Compared to the Qi Realm spaces they’d traversed before, this special space more closely resembled the special Domains they had previously visited. The emotional pollution here was more severe, filled with a sense of madness.

"A special layer of the Qi Realm, or perhaps a special area akin to the Dream Domain, merely associated in terms of rules, might be misjudged if not looked into carefully. Regardless, let’s go inside; otherwise, we might not be able to enter later."

Noticing Beastmaster from Qi Hua City approaching, Feng Yuan uttered, leading the charge towards the breached space wall. Tamur lightly stopped Qichen and the others who intended to follow, using the Mythical Era Projection to shield them.

Qichen and his companions understood why Tamur did this, while Qi Realm Dou Yanlan asked with uncertainty,

"Why include me in your shelter range?"

"That place resembles the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm, highly impactful in terms of mental pollution."

Without needing Tamur to explain, Dou Yanlan interjected for him, though she intentionally kept her words brief to confirm something.

Upon hearing this, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan slightly furrowed her brows and said,

"Deep Layer of the Qi Realm? That requires special equipment for resistance, but relying on my willpower, staying inside for a while shouldn’t be a problem."

Hearing her self from the Qi Realm timeline say this, Dou Yanlan understood something, yet it wasn’t the right moment to discuss this. After a while, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan smiled without forcing herself out of Tamur’s protection, wanting to see what Feng Yuan and his group were planning to do.
