Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2618 - 2619: Side Effects

Elwick’s Mind Shaking not only forcibly calmed the originally chaotic crowd, but also deprived those wishing to retreat of the opportunity to do so.

Starlight dots in the sky gently fell, the blessing from the divine shadows descended upon everyone, Feng Yuan extended his hand with some confusion, looking at his palm and said,

"Quite unexpected, obviously it’s not an Ultimate Move, yet it has the effect of a powerful Ultimate Move."

When those light points fell on him, Feng Yuan had already understood their function, or rather, the effect of these things was quite good.

"Hmm, temporary luck enhancement, truly a unique effect."

Veronia said, her gaze sweeping towards Long Boduo, who responded speechlessly,

"It really has nothing to do with me."

"I didn’t say anything."

"Alright, this should be the influence brought by the Qi Realm, but this change... Tsk, maybe in future temple fairs, there will be special effects too."

Feng Yuan doesn’t believe it’s just the special nature of the Flowing Cloud Festival that creates this situation, or rather, with the appearance of Heart Controlling Spirit, future various chaotic blessing ceremonies would likely have special effects.

As for what those effects might be, Feng Yuan wasn’t sure, and he couldn’t understand why the Star Lamp of the Flowing Cloud Festival would change in this manner.

"Will touristic temple fairs actually have effects?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia said in a mockingly strange tone, rolling her eyes, Feng Yuan retorted irritably,

"It’s not entirely like that, but this matter... they should have guessed it, right?"

Feng Yuan originally wanted to inform the Special Duty Team, but upon recalling that this was a ceremony with involvement from Mao Mu Officials, it seemed it wasn’t his place to remind them.

The peculiar divine shadows bestowed blessings, yet didn’t excite them, because it was something beyond the plan, even causing them confusion, leaving them unable to determine whether it was friend or foe.

Entities beyond their control capability didn’t ease them, instead, the various department heads participating in the festival were very vigilant, as they didn’t know what those falling blessings actually were.

No, perhaps one person knew.

Thinking this in his heart, Captain Yan looked towards the crowd, knowing Feng Yuan was there witnessing due to previous reports from Liao Yu. Although there weren’t few people in the altar area, unlike other areas, the crowd here didn’t panic, mostly remaining in combat readiness.

Thus Captain Yan quickly found Feng Yuan and his group hiding in a corner, seeing Feng Yuan’s watching-from-the-puzzle look, Captain Yan slightly relaxed, telling his secretary beside him, then briskly walked towards Feng Yuan.

Noticing someone approaching, Feng Yuan looked up and met Captain Yan’s gaze, scratching his head, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion,

"What’s the matter? Something wrong?"

"Sorry to disturb you, but the situation is urgent. I want to know what those things in the sky exactly are, and what harm they pose?"

Without bothering with pleasantries, Captain Yan directly posed the question. Startled for a moment, Feng Yuan smiled and briefly explained the information he knew. After listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, Captain Yan paused for a moment and said,

"So those things are harmless?"

"There’s no such thing as purely harmless stuff. Divine blessings have considerable benefits for now, as for any harm, that depends on how you handle things."

Amusedly shaking his head, Feng Yuan said, looking upward at the divine shadow in the sky. Until now, those divine shadows hadn’t dissipated, and the range of blessings was still expanding, spreading outside the scope of the Flowing Cloud Festival.

Captain Yan understood Feng Yuan’s meaning, he pondered for a moment and said,

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"No specific suggestions, management is your affair, in any approach there’s pros and cons, the only thing is, laissez-faire is never beneficial."

Though he knew it wasn’t possible, Feng Yuan still reminded him with a sentence. With the appearance of Heart Controlling Spirit and such changes, if officials don’t intervene, all sorts of chaotic events are bound to happen.

Perversion in rituals and such are inevitable in the absence of restrictions, triggering a series of problems that can’t be ignored.

"Understood."

Seeing that Feng Yuan really wasn’t going to say more, Captain Yan didn’t insist, having obtained the answers he needed, he immediately turned around to arrange manpower. Feng Yuan’s elaboration was clear; now what he had to do was report the matter and temporarily suppress the likelihood of ritual perversion before coming up with management guidelines.

Although one-size-fits-all solutions might present this or that problem, in some cases, they are a solution, especially when there’s insufficient time for thorough discussions.

"Not harmful? Why does it feel like you’re speaking as if it’s dangerous?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan confusedly and asked, since based on their conversation implied, Qi Chen felt this matter shouldn’t be dangerous, yet Captain Yan’s reaction was somewhat off.

"Not harmful for us presently, as for what he needs to deal with... consider those chaotic rituals, if enough people believe, it might become real, what could happen then?"

Palms open, Feng Yuan said helplessly, the real trouble isn’t the current Flowing Cloud Festival, but its subsequent impacts. Although Feng Yuan deemed random rituals unlikely to cause change, so long as there’s a possibility, it’s a big problem.

Especially now during the war, even though the United Army has gained the upper hand once more, nobody knows if anything unexpected will happen; under pressure, who knows what might occur.

"Will it really be that easy?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan somewhat uncertainly, though theoretically sound, her intuition suggested that Heart Controlling Spirit wasn’t so cheap.

"I don’t know, but... probably about right?"

Rubbing the back of his head, Feng Yuan laughed awkwardly, he indeed wasn’t quite clear about the difficulty of triggering Heart Controlling Spirit through ritual ceremonies, but seeing the Flowing Cloud Festival’s unintended success, Feng Yuan reckoned it wasn’t that difficult.

"Impossible to test, there should be a threshold."

Elwick slowly spoke, Long Boduo looked at Elwick and retorted,

"Why? Isn’t the Flowing Cloud Festival completely without a threshold?"

"Heart Controlling Spirit doesn’t turn everything divine, perceive the surroundings."

The indifferent Elwick didn’t get angry at Long Boduo’s words, or rather, Long Boduo spoke so directly because he knew Elwick’s temperament.

Veronia perceived the environment and said strangely,

"I feel like this space is missing something."

"Missing something? Does that thing consume something important?"

Long Boduo was startled and hurriedly questioned, Feng Yuan closed his eyes and quietly perceived, then said,

"Energy consumption? No, it should be some kind of Special Energy that existed before the Qi Realm emerged."

Although Feng Yuan didn’t know the nature of the vanished energy, he was certain that part of the energy wasn’t born due to the Qi Realm.

"Power of the Domain, whether a Domain Ultimate Move or the recent Crystal Domain, requires this part of energy."

Elwick said calmly, prompting Feng Yuan to respond to Xiao Ji, saying,

"Xiao Ji, try expanding the Underworld Domain here."

Due to the Flowing Cloud Festival, this area was shrouded in eerie energy, so Xiao Ji unfolding the Underworld Domain wouldn’t be too conspicuous, yet the normally easily expanded Underworld Domain had problems this time, or rather, Xiao Ji couldn’t expand it at all.

"Depletion effect? This was unexpected."

Since the Domain Awakening already had interval restrictions previously, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised. Recalling something, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and said,

"Speaking of which, I remember that the power of Qi Realm seemed able to achieve unlimited Domain Awakening; I wonder if changing postures can accomplish it."

"Unlimited Domain Awakening?"

The indifferent Elwick felt like he had heard something unbelievable, Feng Yuan, due to lack of focus on such matters, was unaware, but Elwick was well-versed in the mechanics of Domain Awakening.

The reason Domain Awakening had intervals wasn’t only due to the depletion of free energy; another crucial aspect was its considerable consumption of Power of the Domain, though not causing depletion effects like now, its consumption remains high compared to natural recovery.

This led to the inability to consecutively trigger Domain Awakening, yet Feng Yuan’s mentioned case conflicted.

Consecutive Domain Awakenings would indeed cause similar depletion effects, but based on Feng Yuan’s account, evidently, the prior instance of continuous Domain Awakenings hadn’t caused depletion, which was quite peculiar.

"Hmm... wait, is Domain Awakening related to Power of the Domain?"

Suddenly realizing, Feng Yuan looked at Elwick in surprise and inquired.
