Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1248 - 1249: The Problem with Sleepy Dragon Valley

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1249: The Problem with Sleepy Dragon Valley

The Dreaming Dragon Baby cried haughtily as if it were explaining something, Agunas flicked its tail and said somewhat oddly,

"Why would this be?"

"What’s wrong?"

Looking curiously at Agunas, Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand what was happening. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said,

"It says, a revolt has broken out within the Sleepy Dragon Valley, with several Elders betraying the valley. At this moment, a special space has been activated inside the valley as a precaution, so there are currently no Spirit Beasts present within."

"Revolt? How amusing."

Looking in the direction of the Sleepy Dragon Valley, Veronia scoffed and said, it’s expected from the realm of men to have such incidents; after all, it has been the same for years. But for it to happen among Spirit Beasts? This was beyond her expectations. After all, the thought processes of Spirit Beasts are much simpler than those of humans. However, the fact that even Elders are involved implies that the Sleepy Dragon Valley has likely adopted too much of human culture, which in and of itself is not so surprising.

"This is really...you guys sure know how to stir things up."

Looking at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan didn’t know what to say. It was all too extravagant; the original reason for the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s stranding in Maomu City was crystal clear to him, as it had been abandoned when its parents fell victims to a sneak attack. It was unexpected that the situation could escalate to a betrayal in the Sleepy Dragon Valley.

"Getting too close to humans is not a good thing."

Flicking its tail, Agunas couldn’t help but comment. Rolling her eyes, Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"So, he’s not human?"

"This..."

Wagging its tail back and forth, Agunas didn’t know how to retort. Although they were aware of Feng Yuan’s own circumstances, the fact remained that Feng Yuan was a human at present, which indisputably was a reality. According to its own statement, wouldn’t being too close to Feng Yuan also be a bad thing?

"I can’t be bothered to argue with you."

Turning its head away, Agunas showed an attitude of indifference towards Veronia. With a sense of resignation, Feng Yuan looked at the Dreaming Dragon Baby and said,

"Let’s go and see what your current dwelling place is like."

The Dreaming Dragon Baby cried out happily. After returning to the Sleepy Dragon Valley, despite having some companions, it could sense that the atmosphere here was not nearly as relaxed as when it had been by Feng Yuan’s side. Human hearts are complex, and it seemed the Spirit Beasts had learned the art of human intrigue and scheming.

If it were not for its need for revenge, perhaps it would have left the Sleepy Dragon Valley long ago. This place couldn’t offer the warmth it craved; it had been more comfortable when it had been with Feng Yuan, where there were not as many open conflicts and hidden threats.

Under a large tree, Feng Yuan sat on a stone bench watching Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby enjoying sweets and chatting. Observing the enviable look in Dreaming Dragon Baby’s eyes from time to time, Feng Yuan remained silent. He was well aware that the Sleepy Dragon Valley was no paradise for the Dreaming Dragon Baby.

However, if it desired revenge, it was bound to stay. They, the inhabitants of the valley, had changed too much, Feng Yuan thought helplessly.

"The environment here..."

Looking at the traditional Divine Land-style garden architecture, Qi Chen turned to Feng Yuan with a look of amazement. Isn’t this place supposed to be the Sleepy Dragon Valley? The territory of dragon-type Spirit Beasts? Why is there such a strong presence of human-style architecture?

Dou Yanlan gently held Qi Chen’s hand, saying,

"Have you forgotten? The things that Dreaming Dragon Baby mentioned at the entrance of the valley?"

Scratching his head, Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled. He felt that the place looked too much like a human residence rather than that of Spirit Beasts. Although he had never visited the dwellings of Spirit Beasts, he had seen similar descriptions and images in textbooks and literature. After all, the culture of Spirit Beasts differs from that of humans; their habitats wouldn’t usually resemble human living areas.

"When they closely resemble humans, what’s so strange about imitating human architectural styles?"

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan spoke. Although the buildings in Sleepy Dragon Valley were primitive yet splendid, they always felt oddly out of place to him. After all, even if Dragon Spirit Beasts were Spirit Beasts, it was bizarre for them to take on such likings. He didn’t quite know how to evaluate this phenomenon.

"Oh, so you’re saying I also resemble humans quite a bit?"

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan with an indescribable expression and rolled her eyes, leaving Feng Yuan speechless as he said,

"Don’t you understand things concerning yourself?"

Veronia, who often took human form and resided in the Mitradite Royal Palace, surely enjoyed human culture. However, Feng Yuan didn’t mind that because he knew Veronia wouldn’t stray from the path like those Dragon Spirit Beasts had.

Indeed, in Feng Yuan’s view, those Dragon Spirit Beasts had lost themselves, engaging in such underhanded and bitter rivalry within their own community. It was truly displeasing.

With that thought, Feng Yuan hugged Big Cat and glanced at Dreaming Dragon Baby. Compared to Xiao Ji, the chubby Big Cat obviously felt better to the touch. Plus, since Xiao Ji was currently chatting with Dreaming Dragon Baby, it wouldn’t be right for him to disturb them.

"Lost themselves, huh?"

Perched on the treetop, Agunas murmured to itself. The current situation in Sleepy Dragon Valley indeed seemed improper to it. However, it couldn’t find a suitable solution since it related to the Dragon Spirit Beasts’ own issues. As long as the beasts themselves saw no problem, even if it was deplorable, Agunas could not interfere.

Sighing, Agunas admired Sleepy Dragon Valley from the treetop. Perhaps due to the formidable strength of these Dragon Spirit Beasts, the ancient buildings still maintained their original charm. Time had given these old wooden structures a unique allure. However, these were things that it thought belonged in human societies, yet now they spread throughout Sleepy Dragon Valley.

"Goodbye~ We’ll come visit you again when we have time~"

Waving farewell to Dreaming Dragon Baby, who seemed reluctant to part, Feng Yuan shouted loudly. Agunas turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"You’re not taking it with you? Haven’t you noticed it doesn’t like the environment here?"

"But, there are things it must do here. Have you heard it asking you for help?"

Looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan countered. He certainly wasn’t foolish and had noticed Dreaming Dragon Baby’s discomfort, but avenging itself wouldn’t necessarily go smoothly. At the very least, it was unlikely he could intervene directly on Dreaming Dragon Baby’s behalf. Moreover, even if he did, Dreaming Dragon Baby might not appreciate it.

"Does it have to be like this? Isn’t fate not necessarily predetermined?"

Belusir looked at Feng Yuan puzzled. If everything was indeed decreed by fate, then what was the purpose of its existence? To protect the world? But if that were the case, why wasn’t it the ones with formidable authority instead? Indeed, Belusir’s fate-based Authority had a unique aspect that made it difficult to affect others.

After all, they were outsiders who didn’t have their own fates within this world. The Time Series was a bit different; after all, the time laws that different worlds possessed varied in strength, but ultimately, they all fell under the same time law that covered the entire Chaos.

"Altering fate comes at a cost; your Authority limits you from bearing the consequences on behalf of others. Otherwise, why do you think the former you failed?"

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan spoke helplessly. There were always consequences to changing history, so why wouldn’t there be any for altering fate? Every time Belusir tried to change fate and failed, it was because the change was too drastic, and those people and Spirit Beasts simply couldn’t bear the resulting price.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Belusir fell silent, without the standing to refute him. Even as a Divine Beast of fate, it held no exception.

Actually, Feng Yuan felt that this restriction served as a protection for Belusir. Even he could not alter time and fate without limitation; did people really think he could easily bear all the consequences? As for Belusir’s situation, Feng Yuan had no doubt that without this limitation, it would have likely perished from the side effects of arbitrarily altering fate.

Looking at Belusir, Agunas thought for a moment but chose not to speak. It could guess that the restriction was for Belusir’s protection; otherwise, with its nature, it might frequently interfere with people’s fates.

Veronia, on the other hand, was somewhat disdainful of this. After all, in its view, only one person was worthy of having their fate altered by it. However, if it hadn’t been for that final moment, perhaps it wouldn’t have felt anything special towards that person. Does that make me rather cold-hearted? Looking at its own small hands, Veronia sneered with indifference.

Cold-hearted? So what? As long as it guarded its World of Mirrors, what did other people have to do with it? As for Feng Yuan? It was more like him helping Veronia, not the other way around.
