Divine Beast Creator

The massive gate stood before everyone, or more precisely, it was this familiar gate that led them into this giant labyrinth, and now, it would lead them to another unknown land.

Unlike before, the current gate obscured everything behind it. Black smoke completely blocked the view of the space within, but Feng Yuan harbored no suspicion about whether the other side might have done something to the gate, even traps.

No particular reason, it wasn’t necessary, and besides, if they really intended to do such things, he wasn’t helpless. Eclipse was by his side, and they had plenty of ways to punish whoever was causing trouble.

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan closely followed War Qi Chen into the gate, where a somewhat familiar research institute appeared before him. The institute inexplicably gave Feng Yuan a strange sense of familiarity, yet...he couldn’t recall ever visiting this place.

Glancing at the vigilant War Qi Chen and Bai You beside him, Feng Yuan held Xiao Ji with one hand and abruptly flicked the other, sending the dark ancient book flying open on its own, emitting an invisible wave that spread throughout. After a moment, Feng Yuan frowned slightly.

"What? What were you investigating just now?"

Following Qi Chen through the gate, Veronia noticed Feng Yuan’s actions and asked with some uncertainty, unaware of what Feng Yuan might have discovered but knowing that using the dark ancient book for investigating hinted at something important being hidden.

"Nothing, it just looked a bit familiar, like I’ve seen it somewhere."

Receiving the results of his inquiry, Feng Yuan spoke with a puzzled expression, naturally trusting the unique findings of the dark ancient book, but it was precisely this that made him feel strange. Everything around him was real, not a mirage nor some odd creation based on his memory.

The inexplicable sense of familiarity, even Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out what it meant.

"Deep Layer of the Qi Realm, Feng En’s research institute."

War Qi Chen perhaps responded to Feng Yuan’s words and began explaining, though it had some differences from the dilapidated research institute, still, this was complete, uncorroded by time, so its appearance indeed somewhat differed.

Reminded by War Qi Chen, Feng Yuan suddenly understood, no wonder it seemed familiar; it was the original form of the ruins. However... what exactly was the Soul Projection trying to achieve by creating this?

"She recreated the research institute? What does she intend to do?"

Dou Yanlan naturally took notice of the brand-new institute, yet even she couldn’t understand the purpose of the Soul Projection. After all, this thing...she couldn’t fathom any particular significance.

Only Qi Realm Dou Yanlan seemed to recall something, and reminiscing those memory projections, she couldn’t help but cover her face, saying with a hint of tearful frustration:

"Why, how could she know... No, she is me..."

"Does Feng En’s research institute have any special connection to you?"

Turning to look at the tear-streaked Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan wore a confused expression. What had affected her so much? Did this thing have such a significant impact on her?

There was nothing he could do, as Feng Yuan was unaware of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s complete experience. Moreover, after enduring those memory projections, suddenly seeing this building that changed the future for both of them was too much for Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, rendering her unable to hold back.

"This is... the place of his sacrifice... Or rather, if he hadn’t participated in that investigation back then, he wouldn’t have had an accident..."

Choking back tears, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan explained, this place held crucial significance for her, but she never knew the specifics of this research institute.

Given that this thing was located in the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm, she simply didn’t possess the qualification or strength to partake in any investigation missions conducted there.

Her trust in the higher-ups was shattered for various reasons, or rather, she dared not trust them. Had it not been for Feng Yuan and the others arriving, she might have one day recklessly intruded into the deepest layer simply to ascertain the truth regarding that matter.

This was her secret buried deep within her psyche, yet due to the connection with the Soul Projection that shared the same origin, these secrets were inevitably revealed. Of course, she was unconcerned if Feng Yuan and the others knew about these matters.

Because they were outsiders, notwithstanding her distrust of the higher-ups, she had no reason to suspect that Feng Yuan and the others were conspiring with the higher-ups to deceive her. Beyond lacking necessity, their cautious nature made it impossible for them to foolishly trust Feng Yuan and the others.

"You are still the same as before."

Just then, a soft sigh prompted everyone to look ahead, where a peculiar figure emerged in front of the institute. The twisted biological decorations hanging from their clothing appeared to authenticate their identity. Not only Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, but even Feng Yuan was taken aback, staring incredulously at them.

Bai You clung tightly to War Qi Chen’s arm, afraid that the person might suddenly vanish.

"Weak, feigning strength yet unwilling to take that step. Although I dislike admitting it, this is who I am."

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection stepped out from behind the individual, speaking coldly with disdain while looking at the stunned Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, then shifting their gaze toward Qi Chen and War Qi Chen as they sneered:

"Never expected, you actually came, though I’m no match for him, as long as you are here..."

"I said, I’m unwilling to do this."

Letting out a soft sigh, the man dressed peculiarly expressed with a face of helplessness. Feng Yuan warily scrutinized the figure, their identity easily discernable by mere appearance.

Though the hairstyle differed, possibly due to the more peaceful circumstances here, compared to War Qi Chen, both Peculiar Realm Qi Chen and Qi Chen bore similar traits, sporting short hair yet distinct from War Qi Chen’s noticeably shorter buzz cut.

Furthermore, their demeanor varied significantly, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen emanated a scholarly aura, whereas War Qi Chen exuded an unyielding ferocity, imparting a menacing presence even without overt hostility.

"Me from this world... No, should be his Soul Projection?"

War Qi Chen peered at the figure with confusion, impossible to not recognize the individual yet curious as to why Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection required deception.

He simply couldn’t comprehend what the Soul Projection of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan implied.

"No! Regardless of your consent, with them delivered on a platter, it signifies my victory!"

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection bellowed, their face contorted, and beneath Qi Chen, War Qi Chen, and Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, a special magic circle began swirling, encasing their feet, too.

"Stop!"

With the opponent continuing their plan, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen yelled, yet Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection remained unperturbed, as the magic circle not only restricted their movements but also served as a sturdy barrier.

"Though I’m unsure your intentions, fooling around before me, isn’t that a tad naive?"

With a frosty gaze, Feng Yuan retorted with displeasure, pointing forward with his right hand and issuing a chilling command:

"Eclipse! World Collapse!"

As Guardian of the Yin World, the authority of Shi and Xilnais was far beyond even Veronia’s imagination. Even Qi Realm, transcending Time River’s uniqueness, succumbed to the powers of destruction unleashed by Eclipse’s roar.

The space began to tremble endlessly. Forces from Qi Realm were aggressively dismantled and reverted to the world’s primal energy by Eclipse’s roars, while Qi Realm’s fundamental rules were equally shattered.

Shi and Xilnais inherently possessed responsibilities to dismantle and rebuild Yang World amidst circumstances that were irreparable. Therefore, solely Qi Realm’s power was utterly defenseless against the devastation unleashed by the power of destruction.

"No!"

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan rushed toward Feng Yuan, who glanced at her, speaking coldly:

"Are you in cahoots with them?"

"No! However, arduously meeting for the last time, I..."

Inexplicably, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan had a premonition that should Eclipse really obliterate this space, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen would vanish along with it. She... could not allow this to happen, but she also understood, her Soul Projection must have executed something inappropriate, if Feng Yuan hadn’t acted, both Qi Chen and War Qi Chen would face peril.

"Ha, finally showing their true colors? I’ve always said, other should never be trusted easily."

Bai You retorted discontentedly, releasing her Beast Tamer’s attack on the magic circle, attempting to rescue War Qi Chen, witnessing the magic circle’s backlash affecting Bai You’s beast. War Qi Chen urgently shouted:

"Stop! I’m fine, just wait until this space collapses..."

Glimpsing War Qi Chen, Bai You smiled faintly, reasoning:

"I don’t want to place my hope in strangers, I don’t wish to regret afterward, so..."

Deploying the Crystal Domain, Bai You prepared to unleash her Beast Tamer’s strongest strike. Dou Yanlan, too, attempted to rescue Qi Chen, though her beast wasn’t adept in offense. Yet borrowing the mythical transformation’s power wasn’t beyond shattering the magic circle!
