Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 1626 - 1627: Aftermath and Consequences

However, good luck did not come. Around 9:50, Agunas returned to the dormitory, put down the phone in its hand, and Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, who was watching TV, and said to Agunas:

"It seems things didn’t go very smoothly."

"Yes, a few of the Energy Pillars had too strong an energy infusion and couldn’t stabilize, so we had to end it early. It’s now roughly at sixty percent recovery, and the rest can only wait for natural recuperation."

Agunas sighed with regret. If possible, it would prefer a full recovery, but there’s no helping it. The number of Energy Pillars involved is too many, and even with intervention, maintaining stability was increasingly hard. Picking up the phone, Veronia said:

"Can’t you try again after some time?"

"Impossible. Not to mention Xilnais and the others’ unwillingness, this also increases the risk. Each conversion must avoid the inflow of unconverted energy. Even with low odds of issues, repeated attempts are like throwing the dice, and the fact that we passed safely this time was sheer luck."

Feng Yuan, while talking, took out his phone and reported the situation in the class group. Although this wasn’t classified information, he thought the official announcement wouldn’t come quickly. From a cautionary standpoint, they would confirm the results through research before announcing. Many measures needed adjustments, including policy changes that require sufficient time to implement.

Because of this, he specifically warned others not to spread rumors recklessly, though he felt even if classmates didn’t say anything, the number of people involved meant the results would emerge in a few days. As of now, the general public’s ignorance is limited to the recovery extent.

As for concealing their actions? That’s a joke. Each country sent troops to secure the locations of the Energy Pillars, and the phenomenon in the sky and those Divine Beasts cannot be hidden. Failing to explain clearly would result in even more chaotic rumors.

"What a pity indeed."

Seeing Feng Yuan’s speech, Qi Chen said with regret. Ah Mu, beside him, looked at him in confusion. Smiling slightly, Qi Chen also noticed the celebration messages in the group from other classmates. Although he knew the best outcome was an eighty percent recovery, for others unaware of the truth, reaching sixty percent was worth celebrating.

The Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts jumped onto Ah Mu, happily chirping. Despite not being highly sensitive to environmental energy—previous conditions even didn’t affect them—they could sense Qi Chen’s mood. His happiness was theirs too. Watching the four Spirit Beasts playing together, Qi Chen smiled.

"Not unexpected, eighty percent is indeed too difficult."

Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan didn’t initially believe much in the possibility, as she understood from Feng Yuan the key points of this matter. Just maintaining the energy flow of multiple Energy Pillars at a balanced state was not something ordinary individuals could manage. Even Divine Beasts found it challenging.

Initially, they might coordinate using the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network, but as the energy in circulation grew, the permitted degree of inconsistency dwindled. Hence, she didn’t originally think they would achieve the best results, and facts proved her right.

Nevertheless, even so, reaching sixty percent was already commendable. At least, many resources could quickly recover without needing the current painstaking efforts. Thinking of this, she glanced at the Spiritual Medicine Course Textbook beside her, tomorrow’s class material. She guessed that after Feng Yuan’s announcement, the course content tomorrow would need urgent revisions.

"Substitute with Spiritual Medicine, I wonder who knows more, him or the teacher."

She sighed lightly and petted the clueless cotton staring at her with confusion on the table.

Despite Feng Yuan’s reminder not to spread the word recklessly, the next day, after seeing the official announcement, classmates couldn’t resist sharing what they knew with friends and family. Soon, everyone knew of this operation, and the Earth Energy Circulation of the Divine Land Region had recovered to sixty percent.

"Is what you’re doing really okay? Honestly, I don’t believe you didn’t foresee this outcome from the beginning."

Agunas asked suspiciously looking at Feng Yuan. Early in the morning, it saw the chaotic situation and naturally suspected Feng Yuan might have expected this from the start. Feng Yuan smiled and said:

"Don’t you think this is a good thing? After all, no one knows the maximum recovery level, and besides, the resource shortage situation is already quite severe."

He spoke with an overcast face. Recently, teachers had been issuing more credits than before. Regarding this matter, he could only suspect resource issues had arisen.

"But right now, the energy circulation has only recovered to sixty percent; the effect on resource regeneration isn’t significant. Announcing this now..."

"At least you can see a future. Moreover, alternative resources have always existed."

Feng Yuan smiled, stating that aside from evolution, many resources for cultivating Spirit Beasts could be substituted. However, compared to normal supplies, doing so would require more time for recovery in the future, but it’s not an unacceptable situation. Previously, such practices were avoided because no one knew when resource shortages would end.

This method could be a temporary emergency but would have severe long-term consequences, potentially not only impacting Beast Tamers’ potential but also causing them to fall ill from malnutrition.

"What you’re saying isn’t incorrect. Handle this as you see fit, and try not to get into trouble."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas sighed and said. It truly didn’t know whether what Feng Yuan did was good or bad, but it couldn’t stop him either.

In class, as expected, the teacher adjusted the original course content and shared what they had done. Although everyone anticipated this, learning that the teacher truly thought and acted this way was touching. No one complained when credit issuance returned to normal.

Indeed, using alternative resources in emergencies wasn’t impossible either. Many have analyzed the effects of a sixty percent Earth Energy Circulation recovery, and previously there were widespread discussions on how each recovery stage affected resources. According to recorded data, they could rely on substitute resources and wait two weeks for new batches of Good Level Spiritual Medicine to become available.

Though rare Spiritual Medicines remained scarce, they weren’t essential for most students. This meant the impact of energy depletion would pass in at most two weeks.

Although the class content was somewhat tedious, everyone was excited. Only Feng Yuan remained asleep as usual. The Spiritual Medicine class had little meaning to him, and now that it was about alternative resources, even less so. He simply didn’t need them.

Xiao Ji just listened for a bit before giving up. While it understood the content, it held little significance. Xiao Ji hadn’t experienced resource shortages, and its status as a Divine Beast meant resource shortages wouldn’t affect it for a long time.

Veronia snuck in from the back door, disappointed, and quietly approached Feng Yuan’s side. Agunas slowly opened its eyes and looked at Veronia, curiously asking:

"What’s up with you? Didn’t you say you were going to play with them?"

"They have things to do."

Glancing at Agunas, Veronia said sullenly. Even when she managed to establish delightful companions, this period of time seemed unplayable since they needed to help the academy. Normally, they might have nothing to do, but at times like this, they would undoubtedly lend a hand.

Swaying its tail, Agunas didn’t try to console Veronia. After all, it was rare for her to find kindred Spirit Beasts to converse with. Bored and slightly upset, Veronia decided to pull out her phone and engage with online conspirators theorizing about hidden plots behind the news.

Drudgeon used lost magic, and while Veronia didn’t possess such means, the World of Mirrors was unexpectedly useful in some aspects. Occasionally sensing Veronia using Fate’s Curse, Agunas looked at her speechless:

"What are you doing again?"

"Oh, just teaching some ignorant folks a lesson."

"Be careful. Misusing curses can easily cause problems."

Sighing, Agunas said helplessly, knowing it couldn’t persuade Veronia otherwise, it decided to let her be.
