Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2183 - 2184: Avoidance

The only thing that could still occupy Feng Yuan’s attention now was the One-leaf Fox. After all, being in a prolonged state of weakness is very dangerous for a Spirit Beast, and the One-leaf Fox’s weakened state has reduced its resistance to various illnesses to the lowest.

This is also why the One-leaf Fox cannot leave the room, and even Feng Yuan hardly enters that room, as he’s worried that doing so might bring in substances that could trigger a disease.

As for the Little Leaf Child, it’s different; those substances that might cause illness have no effect on a normal Spirit Beast. Moreover, there is specialized purification equipment when entering the room, so they’re not worried about accidentally bringing disease to the One-leaf Fox.

Yet, Feng Yuan finds it a bit troublesome, because humans do not have any special energy protection by nature. Of course, this is true for young Spirit Beasts as well, which is why Feng Yuan once insisted Xiao Ji take baths, as there was no other way. Even the young Divine Beast like Xiao Ji couldn’t avoid dust. However, after its evolution with enhanced energy, it can manage that now.

Or rather, this is a basic ability that all Spirit Beasts have; it’s just that young Spirit Beasts are temporarily unable to master it.

For humans, since avoiding dust is impossible, disinfection is more troublesome than for Spirit Beasts, so if it’s not necessary, Feng Yuan wouldn’t easily enter the One-leaf Fox’s infirmary, especially now that the One-leaf Fox is in such a weakened state.

No other reason, Feng Yuan finds it troublesome; after all, directing Patado from outside the room for treatment is doable, as long as the One-leaf Fox doesn’t act recklessly.

Previously, Patado was needed to guard it, but now that the Little Leaf Child is watching over it, Feng Yuan feels at ease, at least knowing that the latter is more concerned for the One-leaf Fox than Patado, although whether this concern makes the One-leaf Fox more distressed, Feng Yuan pretends not to know~

With the One-leaf Fox that required close monitoring now taken care of, Feng Yuan suddenly found himself idle. Patado, under Feng Yuan’s guidance, had become more proficient, requiring less of his intervention.

Feng Yuan was momentarily at a loss about what to do next since everyone else was busy preparing for the final assessments, leaving them with no time for other matters. Agunas and Veronia saw Feng Yuan idle and wanted him to deal with a major issue, yet they didn’t know how to bring it up.

At night, bringing Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound back to his room, Feng Yuan sat on the bed and took out his phone, ready to casually check something. However, just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the stone sculpture placed on the desk, and he sighed silently.

Ever since acquiring that stone sculpture, he had subconsciously been ignoring it because Feng Yuan didn’t really understand what the words were implying.

It seemed that they had already gotten the truth at the waystation, but Feng Yuan understood that this might not be the entire truth; otherwise, he wouldn’t have heard those voices back then.

Would someone go through such a heavy sacrifice only to find him unless there was a special purpose? Gratitude might not be enough to support them in taking such actions, Feng Yuan definitely didn’t believe so.

Moreover, stealing the power of the Illuminate...

Feng Yuan was momentarily bewildered; he hadn’t noticed any shortcomings in his power. Perhaps it was too insignificant, so he failed to recognize it?

But how did they do it, and what did they accomplish with that power?

He couldn’t figure it out. Feng Yuan instinctively avoided it all, and upon seeing the stone sculpture on the desk, he sighed again.

Putting down his phone, he stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up the stone sculpture. The sculpture depicted a person dressed in a long robe. Unfortunately, the character in the statue was entirely hidden beneath the robe, not to mention whether it was his likeness; Feng Yuan couldn’t even tell if the statue depicted a man or a woman.

After observing the statue for a long time, Feng Yuan sighed again and placed it back to its original position. Although he wished to avoid it, he knew that this matter probably only he could thoroughly resolve.

When it involves his power, maybe only Shi and Xilnaes could barely deal with it. Even if other Divine Beasts, like Agunas, joined forces, it would likely be hard to contend against it.

"Hopefully... there won’t be any problems..."

Muttering under his breath, Feng Yuan absent-mindedly petted the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, which had poked its head over. At this moment, he was not only anxious but also somewhat confused, genuinely uncertain about what had happened.

When it came to those people, even though he just gave them a measure of self-preservation, why did it end up like this in the end? Feng Yuan really couldn’t fathom the twists involved.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t think of possibilities; he thought of several in an instant, yet he truly didn’t know what the reality was.

At least, the actions of those people were probably not that simple, and they likely didn’t realize how dangerous the devices they left behind were.

Thinking about how those people’s footprints stretched across the entire world, even perhaps leaving no corner of the Netherworld or Yin World untouched, Feng Yuan felt a headache coming on. The aftermath was probably not a minor issue.

Although Agunas and others could help, Feng Yuan could guess that unless they knew where those devices were left, relying solely on Agunas to find those things wouldn’t be an easy task.

After all, those devices also possess self-concealing abilities, or rather, even if some were placed right before Agunas, they might not discern them. The discrepancies in power systems left them with hardly any method to deal with these things.

But if he wanted to know the approximate locations, Feng Yuan must confront them.

After pondering for a while, Feng Yuan sighed, sat back on the bed, and picked up his phone again; for the moment, he was still avoiding it.

Xiao Ji had been silently observing Feng Yuan’s actions. Though it didn’t know exactly what Feng Yuan was going through, it could sense the complex emotions within him.

Transforming into its Eggshell Chicken form, Xiao Ji leapt into Feng Yuan’s arms, poking its head out to look at him. Xiao Ji let out a cute cry. Amused, Feng Yuan chuckled, holding the Eggshell Chicken form of Xiao Ji and watched videos on his phone with it.

Agunas and Veronia weren’t aware of what was transpiring in Feng Yuan’s room, yet they were also entangled in how to persuade him to find those people.

After all, the things those people left behind are just too problematic for them, though not entirely unsolvable.

Like the things in the Netherworld, initially triggered by the Netherworld Divine Beasts, which Gitalien was able to eventually settle.

Yet the biggest issue is that they don’t know how to find those things.

They knew very well that the devices left by those people were definitely more than just a little. A visit to the waystation ruins proved them right; those people left a Netherworld Spring there. Although that thing didn’t greatly affect the real world, still...

No one knew what strange things they left elsewhere. Not to mention the peculiar objects possibly drawing their power from Feng Yuan; even mere artifacts from the Mythical Era were extremely dangerous.

Moreover, they couldn’t find those dangerous things. If someone with ulterior motives were to take advantage or accidentally trigger them, nobody knew what might happen.

After all, those people pulled off the feat of assaulting the Netherworld back then, proving those things were likely not entirely harmless.

Unfortunately, neither Agunas nor Veronia knew how to persuade Feng Yuan because they weren’t oblivious—the current intelligence had already shown just how intricate Feng Yuan’s relationship with those people was. Even Feng Yuan chose to shy away, though he would surely listen to their words...

"Hopefully, nothing major will go wrong during this period," Veronia muttered softly, sighing as the remnants of those people gradually surfaced. Even with their help in concealing them, the traces left by those people attracted the attention of many organizations.

Though they, the Divine Beasts, kept a close eye on it, no one knew where those remnants might be hiding, nor what chaotic big events might be caused unintentionally.

Agunas swished its tail and spoke,

"We can only try our best to search for the traces those people left behind. Although all of this is related to him, those people are human from our world, moreover, he didn’t instruct them to do these things."

Knowing the origin of all this, Agunas couldn’t bring itself to blame Feng Yuan. In that era, protecting ordinary people was something it wished to do but struggled to accomplish. It didn’t have the standing to reproach Feng Yuan, even if those people left a mess behind. That was their fault; Feng Yuan never granted them power beyond his boundaries.

Unfortunately, humans are best at applying such powers in skewed ways...
