Divine Beast Creator

Qi Chen and the others didn’t expect these events to be connected to the Parallel World War. Perhaps because they had experienced it firsthand, although it felt somewhat unbelievable, they didn’t doubt its authenticity.

After all, according to Feng Yuan, even the time tributary appeared as a result of the Parallel World War. Now it seems there is merely an additional and somewhat special time tributary, which isn’t much of an issue. As for the special accolades for participants...

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan didn’t feel they had undergone any changes. They also participated in that battle, perhaps because their contributions weren’t significant?

Feng Yuan didn’t notice Qi Chen and the others’ oddities. His attention was focused on the Soul Projection of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan. Evidently, the other party wouldn’t believe Feng Yuan’s words, or rather, whether she believed them or not wasn’t relevant to her.

She was solely focused on resurrecting Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, and the only method she could think of was a sacrificial ritual retrieved from unknown sources.

Honestly, Feng Yuan didn’t quite believe that such an obscure ritual could genuinely achieve resurrection. The difficulty of resurrecting the deceased differs across various worlds.

In this world, resurrection is not endorsed; thus, the difficulty of revival here is extremely high. Whether it’s a Ghost Series Divine Beast or a Death Series Divine Beast, they have no potential of mastering the corresponding Authority; even Eclipse and Xilnaes lack the ability to resurrect someone independently.

Of course, if absolutely necessary, due to the peculiar nature of the Yin World, they can reconstruct someone’s existence by relying on its records. However, this person, reconstructed through special means, even with complete past memories, may not be the original one, Feng Yuan wasn’t certain.

In this scenario, can a simple ritual achieve resurrection of the deceased? Feng Yuan didn’t believe it. Even if the other party would enjoy world accolades, it couldn’t be that easy.

Didn’t War Qi Chen deserve such rewards?

"Speaking of which, how exactly did you end up in trouble back then?"

Turning his gaze to Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, Feng Yuan asked curiously. He only knew the other got caught up in a task exploring the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm, but didn’t know the specifics, as he was considerate of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s feelings at the time and didn’t inquire further.

"I... Our team discovered that strange research facility in the deep layer of the Qi Realm, and when we were about to enter for investigation, something seemed to attack us. When I woke up, I became like this."

Peculiar Realm Qi Chen hesitated before recalling the events, glancing at Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, then recounting the occurrences of that day in detail once more.

Unlike Qi Chen, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen seemed well aware that subjective interpretations could mislead others, hence he tried hard to avoid infusing his own subjective thoughts while speaking. His descriptions were extremely detailed, as there might be clues he himself hadn’t noticed.

Feng Yuan naturally noticed Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s elaborately detailed portrayal. He could understand why the other did so, but... he couldn’t shake a sense of something being off. Was his memory unusually clear?

Even for Dou Yanlan, unless aware in advance, she couldn’t possibly observe so meticulously—not that it was impossible, but doing so constantly would be exhausting. Feng Yuan didn’t deem Peculiar Realm Qi Chen would be so cautious during peaceful times.

Feng Yuan wasn’t the only one; even War Qi Chen sensed issues. Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s accounts were overly detailed, providing clarity on the happenings and surroundings at the time.

He himself could do so, but only during specific tasks would he need to perform such detailed observations. Such meticulous scrutiny demanding intense focus tends to drain energy significantly.

Even he couldn’t maintain such a state continuously. Yet, for just that research facility, was there truly a need?

War Qi Chen tried envisioning himself in the situation but found he wouldn’t act similarly.

Before the incident occurred, he couldn’t preemptively know he would encounter trouble there. Even if the appearance of the research facility was eerie, attention needed focus solely on it rather than extensively scrutinizing the surroundings.

Regarding this peculiarity, everyone perceived it as the special nature of Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection without further contemplation. After all, a Soul Projection inherently differed from the real person, peculiarities were to be expected.

From Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s accounts, everyone only understood that he was ambushed outside the Feng En Research Institute in the Deep Layer. However, whether those responsible for the attack were Qi Realm entities, no one dared to assert definitely.

Even though Feng Yuan’s investigation confirmed Feng En Research Institute was a Qi Realm product, no one could completely rule out the possibility of it being someone’s handiwork. Even Qi Chen couldn’t avoid indulging in slight conspiracy theories.

"Hmm, sounds ordinary enough, nonetheless... shouldn’t this place hold any particular significance?"

Glancing at that brand-new research facility, Feng Yuan uncertainly commented. Prior to this, he was sure no such prospect existed—there aren’t so many coincidences.

Now... he truly couldn’t be sure. After all, the aftermath of the Parallel World War unexpectedly extended its influence until now, even giving rise to the Qi Realm Timeline, this unique time tributary.

"It’s rather troublesome now; although she threatens Qi Chen, we can’t directly eliminate her."

Veronia looked towards Feng Yuan and spoke slowly. If they hadn’t discovered her origins previously, there would be exceptions. Now, knowing her origins, both she and Tamur couldn’t take action against Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection.

It’s not from being unable to defeat her, rather the other is a product of world accolades. As guardians of the world, Divine Beasts mustn’t destroy the products of world accolades unless repeatedly provoked.

About whether Eclipse can act, Veronia wasn’t certain. Despite its similarity to Divine Beasts, it wasn’t one; its Authority greatly exceeded that of Divine Beasts, and thus whether it could disregard this limitation was unclear.

"Hmm, this poses an issue."

Examining Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection, Feng Yuan felt troubled. The trait of immortality made it impossible for Qi Chen and the others to eliminate that Soul Projection.

Furthermore, they suspected that extinguishing Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection might also cause Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection to vanish simultaneously.

Though lacking evidence, they all had an inkling that Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection emerged entirely because of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection.

This implied the two were interconnected; however, it wasn’t yet time to delve into this issue since they couldn’t even manage to eradicate the Soul Projection at present.

Of course, having Eclipse act would indeed solve it; Veronia correctly recognized that for Eclipse, everything in the Yang World is irrelevant; it wouldn’t be restricted by worldly matters.

It’s just that Feng Yuan didn’t intend to proceed in that manner. Once Eclipse acts, there truly wouldn’t be any reversal opportunity.

Feng Yuan couldn’t shake the feeling that there were still many crucial details left unclear.

"Is there any way to eliminate her?"

As Qi Realm Dou Yanlan regained composure, she seemingly grasped the current dilemma and asked Feng Yuan, who, after a moment of silence, replied:

"It’s not impossible overall, but... I can’t guarantee that eliminating the Soul Projection will still keep him intact, especially given the unique scenario, or perhaps due to its chaotic nature."

Neither Qi Realm Dou Yanlan nor Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection was normal; the two were evidently entangled. If Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection were eradicated, Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection might concomitantly disappear. Even if it didn’t, it could potentially transform akin to those tainted Soul Projections.

Peculiar Realm Qi Chen might not mind; given his current condition, it’s likely he wouldn’t desire to exist in his present form. However, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s thoughts on the matter were uncertain.

At least Feng Yuan couldn’t ascertain Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s exact mindset.

Reluctantly looking towards Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan remained silent for a long time before saying:

"Don’t concern yourself with my thoughts; I don’t wish to make decisions I’ll regret."

"But the current task holds potential for regret, given that his emergence was a mere fluke—a series of miracles is improbable."

Gazing at Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan earnestly articulated. He wasn’t jesting; even he couldn’t feasibly reconstruct Peculiar Realm Qi Chen’s Soul Projection thereafter.

As for retrieving someone from the timeline?

Sorry, this pertains to a time tributary; past events are illusory and unattainable.
