Chapter 2258 - 2259: Speculation
"Parallel worlds, in various stories, are generally other possibilities of the current world, or rather, a world that takes a different possibility from reality."
Qiu Hanmo pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, and seeing everyone looking over, he continued to say
"If their goal is to continue the civilization of the Mythical Era, it doesn’t seem strange for the current situation to occur."
"Although I don’t know the root of the problem, I know one thing, which is that an already extinguished civilization, even if resurrected by other means, will still encounter strange situations leading to its destruction once again."
"Hmm, this is actually related to the elimination mechanism in the world rules, or rather, many of the civilizations that have already been destroyed have touched on things they shouldn’t have."
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan explained that this phenomenon exists in some worlds, and it so happens that this world also has this rule, leading civilization to destruction because of involving prohibited zones.
Civilizations with relatively small problems won’t have their traces completely erased, which gives future generations the possibility of recreating such civilizations.
Unfortunately, those prohibited zones seem to be the inevitable path that civilization will touch upon in its development. As long as civilization is recreated and proceeds along that original path, it will inevitably touch upon the prohibited zones again and then be destroyed.
It is precisely for this reason that the strange phenomenon Qiu Hanmo mentioned occurs.
However, Feng Yuan has no intention of explaining too much; knowing roughly what is happening is enough. Feng Yuan is also afraid that explaining too clearly might unintentionally reveal too much, leading someone to have inappropriate fantasies about those taboos.
Qiu Hanmo’s speculation seems quite reasonable to Feng Yuan, because, didn’t Veronia also want to recreate Mitradite? If that group of people had the opportunity, stirring up parallel worlds doesn’t seem strange either.
It’s just that Feng Yuan couldn’t quite understand how they discovered and utilized parallel worlds.
"It turns out to be more or less as I guessed. They probably never intended to create such anomalies in the beginning, after all, such a world is not a good thing for ordinary people."
Nodding, Qiu Hanmo wasn’t too surprised, and after pondering for a moment with his chin in his hand, he said
"I remember you mentioning Tamur when you said it was a Divine Beast of the Mythical Era. Although I don’t understand the underlying logic and distinction, I can assume that if divided by era, in reality, this parallel world should belong to the era after the Mythical Era."
"In terms of jurisdiction, this world shouldn’t belong under Tamur’s control, right?"
"That’s correct."
To Qiu Hanmo’s question, Tamur directly gave a response, looking at the other party in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Smiling, Qiu Hanmo said
"If it’s not under Tamur’s jurisdiction, then perhaps this parallel world is using some other existence. Although I don’t know if there’s anything that can reach an authority similar to the Divine Beast’s, it’s certain that they must have used some method to gain the ability to create this parallel world."
"Although I don’t know what that is, under normal circumstances, it doesn’t exist in the real world. If it did, we should have known long ago, as such secrets are hard to conceal."
"Apart from that, other known domains, the Data Domain can be disregarded. It appeared recently, and although similar to parallel worlds in that they both construct false worlds, the timing doesn’t align."
"If it were people from the Mythical Era, their involvement with parallel worlds should not be later than the early Dynasty Era, because here, there are traces of the early Dynasty Era."
"Based on that, domains like the Dream Domain can also be ruled out, because records show these domains didn’t appear that early."
Pausing for a moment, Qiu Hanmo’s eyes glinted as he stared at Feng Yuan and said
"I think the most likely possibility is the Yin World you mentioned so importantly. Although from the name, it should be similar to the Netherworld, even the Netherworld wouldn’t be taken so seriously."
"Hmm, you mean they obtained the ability to create parallel worlds in the Yin World? That’s... not impossible."
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said uncertainly. If Qiu Hanmo hadn’t mentioned it, he indeed would have forgotten that the group had once intruded into the Yin World.
So, does the Yin World have the means to create parallel worlds?
It indeed does. As the shadow of the world, a place recording all things in the world, the Yin World naturally has the ability to create parallel worlds. Moreover, as Qiu Hanmo mentioned, that ability is fixed to specific items.
Because the Yin World does not have the conditions for Life to be born, the fewer Life forms in such a place, the safer it is. So, to allow the Life forms of the real world to call upon the Yin World’s power when needed, these abilities naturally form fixed artifacts.
"If they indeed acquired the items to create parallel worlds from the Yin World, it’s indeed possible. The things of the Yin World, in a sense, can bypass the limitations of the Divine Beasts, so it’s no wonder you haven’t noticed."
"But if that’s the case, it’s quite troublesome."
Feng Yuan rubbed his brow wearily, not expecting such a situation. Although it was only Qiu Hanmo’s speculation, he felt the truth was probably something like that.
After all, it’s hard for Feng Yuan to understand how they could acquire the ability to create parallel worlds from someplace else, considering that Tamur isn’t insensible, and making such a big commotion without Tamur having any feeling is obviously abnormal.
Looking at Qiu Hanmo, Feng Yuan said
"About these matters, it’s best you keep them to yourself. Once such things spread, it’s not good for anyone."
Smiling, Qiu Hanmo calmly said
"I understand."
He knew well that many things are best not spread carelessly. Otherwise, when secrets spread, who knows what might happen, potentially causing very serious consequences.
And the secrets of the Yin World are probably why Feng Yuan warned them. Being able to bypass the Divine Beasts’ authority, it’s no wonder it’s handled cautiously.
Thinking this, Qiu Hanmo had no desire to probe further. Knowing that the Yin World is dangerous is enough. Curiosity often leads one into the Abyss.
The reason he suspected a connection between this place and the Yin World was because of that attack. Although Feng Yuan didn’t say it explicitly, in his description, the other side chose to use the Guardian God of the Yin World, which indicated that other means were likely ineffective.
To deal with just ordinary spatial rifts, they needed to use the Guardian God of the Yin World. This not only indicated that the parallel world is dangerous, but it also indirectly revealed one thing: that the Yin World is, in some sense, stronger than the Divine Beasts. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the last resort.
Qiu Hanmo didn’t expect that his wildly speculative guess would be acknowledged by Feng Yuan.
After all, he wasn’t sure there must be means to create parallel worlds in the Yin World since no known domain had such a comprehensive existence as the Yin World.
"Since it involves the Yin World, should we call them?"
Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and asked. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said
"Not yet, this is just speculation. Besides, even if we did, having them come forward isn’t good, because they still need to guard the Yin World. If we bring them here, and something happens to the Yin World, it will be even more troublesome."
"So should we stay here or go investigate elsewhere?"
Veronia asked curiously. In her view, their current goal should be to find those people and destroy this group of parallel worlds.
However, due to the existence of anomalies, they couldn’t directly intervene.
Agunas flicked his tail and said
"If we wipe this parallel world out, can we stop the anomalies from occurring?"
With a curious glance at Agunas, Feng Yuan wasn’t too surprised. For Divine Beasts, safeguarding the world’s safety was of utmost importance, so Agunas could easily make this decision.
"Hard to say. If these anomalies are indeed caused by their attempt to evolve the Mythical Era civilization, maybe we can. But... you know, the Mythical Era didn’t end because it stepped into prohibited zones, it was just a simple change of era."
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan was also unsure if these anomalies were the result of triggering taboos due to evolving the Mythical Era.
In his understanding, the Mythical Era wasn’t the kind of civilization forbidden to progress further. It was just the Mythical Era’s order wasn’t suitable for the world itself at the time, so the entire era was ultimately buried.
Even if it were revived, it might not necessarily trigger the side effect of taboos, but, if not,
