Divine Beast Creator

The spectacle casually conjured by Long Boduo appeared as a miracle to the survivors in Baiman City, or at least what they hoped for, even though they all understood it should be the power of the Spirit Beast.

"I hope the war ends soon."

Looking at the seemingly unending river of lights, Feng Yuan sighed softly and said, even though he knew it was impossible. Yet, seeing the long river of lights, Feng Yuan still felt an impulsive urge to take action, but this thought was dismissed as quickly as it appeared.

The situation wasn’t that dire, and besides, acting rashly might just lead to a series of troublesome events.

"It might be very difficult, aside from the Imperial People, there might be another battle in the War Timeline, not to mention the possibility of more time streams emerging in the future, right?"

Dou Yanlan said calmly as she gazed at the river surface, as long as they weren’t penetrated deep into their homeland, she wasn’t concerned about future matters.

After standing there for a while, the group left that place. Not only them, but other Maomu City residents who came to float the lamps also tacitly chose to temporarily vacate the place for the people of Baiman City. As time passed, it was inevitable that some within the crowd from Baiman City began to cry uncontrollably.

However, once one started crying, it spread like an infection and soon the entire crowd was weeping. Under such circumstances, people from Maomu City, being "outsiders" naturally chose to temporarily avoid them.

Forced to leave the riverside, the group went directly to the resting place of the Special Duty Team. Coincidentally, Liao Yu and the others were also there. Seeing Feng Yuan approach, Liao Yu waved his hand in a hurry to greet him.

"Didn’t expect you’d come here, I thought I was mistaken earlier, by the way... where have you been the past few days?"

Putting his arm around Feng Yuan’s neck, Liao Yu chuckled, then thought of something and asked with a puzzled look at Feng Yuan, who asked in confusion,

"What happened a few days ago?"

"Of course, something big happened, the Cursed Stele emerged. At the time, I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about it, but you were nowhere to be found."

"Cursed Stele?"

Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized what the other was referring to, shaking his head with a smile, he said

"What you mean should be the Qi Realm Stele, right?"

"Qi Realm Stele? So you actually know about it?"

Liao Yu initially just casually picked a topic, he didn’t expect Feng Yuan would know information about the Qi Realm Stele, or even that Huo Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed, would look over. Not just him, but others who were resting also paused their actions to listen attentively.

There was no other way, the Qi Realm Stele was considered the most bizarre thing to have appeared recently. It’s normal that they’re curious about it.

"It’s more than that, the thing is also related to what I’ve been busy with the past few days."

Seeing everyone looking over, Feng Yuan helplessly smiled and spread his hands, slowly recounting his journey through the Qi Realm. Anyway, there’s no rush now, so Feng Yuan decided to narrate the story from beginning to end without refining the words.

After listening to Feng Yuan’s story, everyone had different expressions. They didn’t expect that aside from the Empire and the war, there would be a third time stream, and that the special area in that time stream was extending into the Main World.

Unfortunately, even though they were confronted with such things, there was not much they could do, at most, it became more of a topic for idle chatting.

"Didn’t expect you were busy with that."

Liao Yu remarked in amazement as he looked at Feng Yuan, he truly didn’t expect that the reason they couldn’t reach Feng Yuan earlier was because he was busy with such a significant matter.

"I didn’t want to either, but my friend was threatened, so I had to intervene."

With a shrug, Feng Yuan pretended to be helpless as Qi Chen scratched his head a bit awkwardly, admitting to the truth of what Feng Yuan said. If he hadn’t been attacked, Feng Yuan probably wouldn’t have forcibly called in Eclipse to track them down.

Initially, he might have thought Eclipse wasn’t much different from other Divine Beasts, yet previously in the Qi Realm, Veronia had asked Feng Yuan several times if keeping Eclipse away from the Yin World for so long was really okay.

That was when he realized that Eclipse was different from ordinary Divine Beasts. Also, at that time, even having Eclipse leave early wouldn’t have had much impact. After all, during the Qi Realm Timeline, Eclipse didn’t need to intervene much.

However, to ensure safety and hold an ace, Feng Yuan never let Eclipse leave.

For Feng Yuan, this was actually unnecessary, yet the presence of Eclipse was a safety guarantee for Qi Chen and the others; otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t keep Eclipse around, even if doing so might pose new risks.

"It’s true. But didn’t expect recent events to come wave after wave, not giving any chance to relax."

Liao Yu laughed and sighed with a face full of helplessness. Actually, everyone had expected this. After the war began, especially since they were at a disadvantage initially, it was one wave of events after another.

As for the future, everyone was filled with hope. Because of the protection of the Temple, they no longer felt as powerless facing attacks from the Imperial Timeline, at least the other side couldn’t come and go as freely as before.

"That’s right, there’s been a non-stop stream of events lately."

Exhaling deeply, Feng Yuan agreed. Just as he was about to say something more, the noisy sound from the river came through, and he paused for a moment, then looked at Liao Yu and said

"Shall we go have a look?"

"Hope nothing unexpected happens."

The smile faded, and Liao Yu wore a serious face. There was nothing they could do about it; the Floating Lantern Festival was immensely important to Maomu City, and any incident at this time would be unfavorable.

The clamor grew sharper, Feng Yuan and the others didn’t hesitate, rushing toward the riverside in haste. However, upon reaching the riverbank, they were startled by the scene before them.

The Blessed Light Long River still flowed, but above those lights, numerous spirits floated on the water surface, making eye contact with the people on the shore. The ever-growing noise stemmed from some people seeing their beloved kin and couldn’t help but cry out loud in tears.

"What’s going on?"

Looking toward Long Boduo, Feng Yuan was puzzled about the situation. Spirits, especially those of the victims from Baiman City, how could they appear here, let alone in such numbers that didn’t make sense?

It’s known that in this world, while there are spirits, not everyone leaves a spirit behind after death. More often, at the moment of death, the spirit diminishes with life.

This scene could no longer be described as a miracle, but an aberration!

"I don’t know, but those spirits seem off, they don’t quite resemble normal spirits."

As the Guide of the Netherworld, Long Boduo was very sensitive to spirits, thus it detected the abnormality of those spirits almost immediately.

"Indeed, they’re quite illusory, almost like fake spirits. Yet their reactions to the living seem to correspond closely to the deceased’s intentions before death. It’s really strange, Long Boduo, are you sure it’s not your doing?"

Veronia spoke, unconsciously looking at Long Boduo. It wasn’t out of place to suspect him, as he was the only one among them with such capability. While Feng Yuan could have done it, he certainly wouldn’t do it without letting them know, let alone how there had been no visible action from Feng Yuan.

"Not me, although I did intervene earlier, it was only to temporarily connect the Netherworld to here. I didn’t do anything extra. These spirits have nothing to do with me."

It wasn’t something he did, so Long Boduo certainly wouldn’t admit to it. Liao Yu and the others were rather tense seeing that pile of spirits on the river surface. But after a while, seeing that those spirits were just floating and at most communicating with the people on shore through gestures, they gradually eased their tension.

"They don’t seem like enemies, however, we can’t be careless. If we’re caught off guard by an ambush, it would be troublesome."

Observing those spirits, Veronia smiled slightly, while Tamur circled around Feng Yuan and said

"Resonance."

"Hmm? Resonance? Wait, could it be..."

Feng Yuan didn’t know what was going on at first, but after hearing Tamur’s words, he suddenly understood. Staring at those spirits for a while, he exclaimed in surprise.

"It really is! I didn’t expect it could be done this way."

"Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Long Boduo being here. No, to be precise, it’s because your Authority includes this aspect; you just haven’t used it before."

Rubbing his head, Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan with confusion and said

"What do you mean? This has something to do with me?"

"Of course, although it’s a miracle triggered by various coincidences, the key is your power. I even suspect such a coincidence might not occur if it were another Netherworld Divine Beast."

Nodding, Feng Yuan affirmed resolutely. Having figured it out, he understood that Long Boduo was uniquely capable of this; as for Feng Yuan, he could do it too, but with special means. Other Divine Beasts, probably not.
