Chapter 1655: Chapter 1656: Origins
“Why do I feel something is amiss? Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence? When resources are scarce in the Divine Land Region, a world rich in resources comes close to the real world and makes contact?”
Veronia wasn’t that excited. She instinctively suspected the origins of that world, nodding as Agunas said,
“It certainly seems strange. That world fragment is more like a vast secret realm than a projection of the real world fragment, which doesn’t fit the pattern of natural evolution.”
Saying this, Agunas suspiciously glanced at Feng Yuan. The matter of Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom forced it to consider Feng Yuan for any source of untraceable anomalies, though it might not be his true doing, it could still relate to him somehow.
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said irritably,
“What kind of look is that? This has nothing to do with me, alright? But evolving into a secret realm? How is that possible? Wasn’t that an abandoned point in time? Logically, it should be a real world fragment; how did it become a secret realm?”
“I don’t know, but the investigation results are clear. It is a complete secret realm. However, the stability of the world fragment is problematic, likely only maintaining for about half a month after contact before it shatters and becomes many fragmented secret realms merging into the Chongshan Town area of the real world.”
Agunas flicked its tail as it spoke, hearing its explanation, Feng Yuan pouted and said in a jealous tone,
“Chongshan Town is quite lucky, huh? But why does that thing feel… purposeful?”
“Indeed, it feels like that. But who has the capability to do such things? Even Lorraine Tower and Gitalien didn’t notice them taking action, which is just too…”
Little Claw propped up its long snout, Agunas said with an inexplicable expression, its mind puzzled by the reason for the appearance of this thing, when suddenly Veronia froze, looked up, and said to the sky,
“Did you hear that?”
“This…”
“Hear what?”
Feng Yuan asked in confusion, looking at Veronia and then at Agunas. Their expressions seemed like someone was talking to them. But why didn’t he hear anything? Wait, Veronia’s actions… if it’s Him, then it might really be possible.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuan slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat speechless. They had speculated for half a day, and Agunas even wanted to stop the academy’s actions, only to find out it was Him causing the commotion? If that’s the case, then there really wouldn’t be any danger, as He wouldn’t do anything to harm this world.
As for the result, Agunas and the others later confirmed that it was indeed Him behind it. As for why Chongshan Town was chosen, it’s because of the special abilities hidden by the Little Mine Drill tribes, which allow them to maintain and guide small secret realms. Although they can’t handle large secret realms, that world fragment will ultimately shatter.
When that time comes, those Little Mine Drill tribes will respectively bring those small secret realms to nearby areas, and even Maomu City will benefit, only…
“So even the strange movements of the Little Mine Drill tribes were caused by Him?”
“Correct, who would have thought…”
Agunas said, expressionless, its face darkening. They had previously been puzzled over what caused the abnormal movements of the Little Mine Drill tribes, only to find out it was Him coordinating them. Such a big matter, yet He didn’t communicate with them in advance. What if misunderstandings occurred?
After confirming there were no issues, Feng Yuan touched his chin and said excitedly,
“So, in a few days, we can go explore the secret realm, huh?”
“Probably, though your academy’s plan is likely to be as you expected, with activities conducted by class units, which may differ from what you had imagined.”
“That’s not a problem, it’s an outing, doesn’t matter if everyone moves together,”
Feng Yuan said, completely unconcerned. He truly didn’t mind collective actions, as he wasn’t going into the secret realm to search for things. Considering something, he asked Kong Qing,
“By the way, Kong Qing, you should also start preparing the materials for your next evolution, right? How about you come with us and look around there then?”
Feeding Pomiti, Kong Qing paused to think at Feng Yuan’s words, and then hissed. It indeed needed to start preparing materials recently, but solely relying on Big Cat might be a bit troublesome. As much as Big Cat’s income from games was considerable, the Spiritual Medicine and Materials required become increasingly expensive.
Moreover, it’s trying rather than directly following specific proportions to complete the evolution, consuming and wasting large amounts of Spiritual Medicine and Materials in the process, hence it was somewhat interested in what was said about the secret realm, provided the materials aren’t too rare.
Those rare Spiritual Medicine and Materials are good, but it doesn’t want to use them, as it wouldn’t provide a reference for the subsequent Homeward Snake evolution. For a wild Homeward Snake, rare and uncommon Spiritual Medicine and Materials are still difficult to obtain, not relying entirely on humans, right?
“It said it wants to go, but you know Kong Qing’s situation well. The materials in the secret realm are mostly uncommon; it might not find much suitable for its Spiritual Medicine and Materials.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said, having previously explored the inside of the world fragment to understand its internal resource distribution, which led to judging it as a secret realm. The composition of Spiritual Medicine and Materials within didn’t match the realities of the real world at all.
Ordinarily, uncommon and rare Spiritual Medicine and Materials are scarce, and if it’s merely a world fragment, regional specialties of Spiritual Medicine would appear. However, that place is different, with Spiritual Medicine and Materials from various regions appearing within, while most are still focused on the Divine Land Region, other regions’ Spiritual Medicine appeared too.
“Is the resource also like a secret realm? That’s indeed special.”
Feng Yuan said, touching his chin, amazed.
Even though Feng Yuan didn’t spread the news, as Agunas investigated and along with confirmations from a group of Divine Beasts, the news of a secret realm about to appear in Chongshan Town began to circulate among management departments in several cities. Though efforts were made to contain the news to prevent accidents, from personnel movements alone, many could guess something big was happening.
Even students at Maomu Academy noticed after recent lesson rescheduling, especially those choosing the command track, detecting the truth that a large collective action was about to take place?
But it seemed too rushed, considering that normally, preparations for large actions require a month’s advance planning. From this, one can assume something special is happening soon, but lacking Feng Yuan’s intelligence sources, they’re completely unaware of what is truly occurring.
After all, this time involves a joint action between Maomu and Yufeng Academy, not just Maomu Academy making preparations. Due to Yufeng Academy’s focus on combat specialization, command-oriented students weren’t recruited, resulting in an unawareness of changes within the academy.
The lack of intelligence left people only speculating about what might happen, unable to determine for sure. Meanwhile, Tan Xueluo approached Feng Yuan when school let out at noon.
“What exactly is happening? Is it good or bad? Can you tell me?”
“Um, this…”
Facing Tan Xueluo blocking his way, Feng Yuan scratched his head and asked,
“What are you asking?”
“The academy’s unusual actions these past two days likely relate to the mysterious activities you mentioned, right? Can you tell me if it’s good or bad? I don’t need a detailed answer; I believe it should be confidential information.”
Surveying Tan Xueluo and her companion Panshi, Feng Yuan grinned and replied,
“Good or bad, shouldn’t affect you, right?”
“But I can prepare in advance; I don’t want to miss any potential opportunity.”
“You’ve expressed it this way… Fine, it’s a good thing, at least the action this time is indeed beneficial for you. I can’t detail it, though, since it still requires confidentiality, and there might be a secret operation later.”
Considering Tan Xueluo, Feng Yuan hesitated before speaking, unsure whether the academy’s plans would be disrupted by revealing the truth now.
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Tan Xueluo hesitated, speaking skeptically,
“A good thing? But why is it done in such secrecy…”
