Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2259 - 2260: A New Discovery

"There isn’t much to investigate here. If this anomalous parallel world has restarted multiple times, the chances of finding important clues are already low, no, it seems..."

Feng Yuan paused, touching his chin thoughtfully, while Qiu Hanmo smiled and said

"That little girl."

"That’s right, her attack method is not right. It’s not something a parallel world can possess as an attack means. We should go find her again."

Nodding, Feng Yuan felt they shouldn’t have returned so quickly before, but although this world keeps restarting, at least, they should say goodbye to those soldiers now.

"Could this be another parallel world?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan in astonishment while observing the surroundings. After saying farewell to the soldiers, they quickly found the little girl, who had no resistance to Feng Yuan’s request. Perhaps, in her view, helping the other party was helping herself, even if Feng Yuan intended to completely destroy this world.

As Feng Yuan and the others guessed, the little girl’s method of virtual attack was not innate, but even she couldn’t explain why she possessed this ability.

What was certain was that this ability appeared at the same time as the anomaly in her memory, meaning this ability was likely related to the anomaly.

Feng Yuan didn’t care much about this. He successfully found a space connected to it with the help of the virtual shadow and used Agunas’s power to open the passage to this space.

However, the environment in this space was a bit beyond Feng Yuan’s expectations.

A dazzling star river, golden flowing energy streams circulating within it, Feng Yuan and the others stood on a luminous energy flow barrier, a sturdy barrier that protected the energy flow from impact while providing a foothold for them.

Various glowing celestial bodies moved slowly around, as if a sacred song was whispering softly in their ears.

Compared to the anomalous parallel world, this area seemed so tranquil.

Feng Yuan observed the surroundings for a while and said

"No, this should be a kind of interlayer space, but the spatial structure here is a bit odd. Well, let’s look around first; you all aren’t tired yet, right?"

Though the departure time was closer to noon, they had spent a significant amount of time fighting and investigating along the way. According to the information from Feng Yuan’s specially made timer, the current time corresponded to around six o’clock in the afternoon in the real world.

Feng Yuan himself didn’t feel anything, but he wasn’t sure if others were already hungry.

"Not for now, the surrounding environmental changes have a considerable impact on us."

Qiu Hanmo answered while glancing around. They commenced their journey in the afternoon, but in the previous parallel world, it started from the morning, and as for this peculiar space, it was needless to say, it seemed to lack the concept of time.

He knew very well how necessary it was to maintain the regular daily routine. Unfortunately, unlike Feng Yuan, Qiu Hanmo didn’t have a way to maintain a correct perception of time amidst such temporal confusion.

"Then let’s first look for any clues here. Since those things came from here, there must be something special about this place. It surely can’t just be these energy flows."

Feng Yuan pondered while kicking the barrier with his right foot. Though it was an energy flow, it was merely an energy transport network and not something special... Wait, an energy transport network?

Recalling something, Feng Yuan mused, while Qiu Hanmo observed the surroundings and said

"This should be an energy relay point. If I’m not mistaken, those parallel worlds need to use this relay point to obtain energy?"

He was not entirely sure about this, as it seemed odd. Normally, parallel worlds shouldn’t need to obtain external energy.

After all, under normal circumstances, even parallel worlds wouldn’t easily leak energy outward. Without external consumption, external charging would only cause the internal energy intensity of the parallel world to continuously increase.

This isn’t impossible, but what would be the point?

Moreover, what Qiu Hanmo didn’t understand more was the consequences of doing so. It must be understood that energy doesn’t appear out of nowhere. For parallel worlds, if energy isn’t leaking outward, it cannot return to the larger environment, and that energy source would remain in a state of external consumption.

Without stressing over such inexplicable aspects, Qiu Hanmo clearly understood that he could never know everything, so naturally, he couldn’t figure out the hidden situation behind it.

But he could remind Feng Yuan. While he didn’t know Feng Yuan’s precise situation, he was certain Feng Yuan knew many secrets that even ordinary people or scholars might not know.

Feng Yuan wasn’t aware of Qiu Hanmo’s cautious thinking, and he said after some thought

"Under normal circumstances, parallel worlds themselves do not need external force, nor will they spill force outward unless something special happens."

"However, this region indeed has some strangeness. If my guess is right, inside the external Great Whirlpool, it’s probably this thing here; these energy flows are like a vine, connecting those parallel worlds together."

"That’s not likely, is it?"

Qi Chen, somewhat incredulous, spoke. Primarily because the Great Whirlpool, when viewed from the outside, didn’t seem like anything good. Such ominous items, how could they have such a beautiful but bizarrely holy feel now?

"There’s nothing impossible about it. Without the pull of these energy flows, those parallel worlds might not gather together. Of course, it doesn’t rule out the involvement of other special forces."

Feng Yuan spread his hands after pondering. Although he believed this was highly possible, he couldn’t exclude other possibilities.

The problems with this parallel world were too numerous for Feng Yuan to grasp all the details at once. With such an entangled mess, even Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on.

Just like the space in front of him, Feng Yuan couldn’t understand why that virtual shadow would connect here. If she borrowed energy from here, then an energy supply sufficient for this parallel world being connected to one person seemed a bit bizarre.

"Perhaps these energies are provided for restarting the parallel world?"

Dou Yanlan proposed a possibility, and Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said

"Maybe, but we need to look further. At least here and now, we can’t sense that connection; the energy here is too intense."

"Can’t sense it? Is it that little girl’s virtual shadow?"

Initially, everyone hadn’t grasped what Feng Yuan was saying, but Dou Yanlan soon thought of the strange little girl. To be honest, she felt some sympathy for her.

Imagining themselves in that position, Dou Yanlan thought she might go mad. An endlessly looping world, while remembering each iteration - that wouldn’t be a good thing.

"Exactly, or rather, here, it’s impossible to sense that kind of barely existing link. Whether it’s due to the surrounding environmental influence or some yet unnoticed element, it’s hard to say."

Sweeping his eyes around, Feng Yuan spoke with an inexplicable expression.

Amidst this splendid star river, even darkness appeared strikingly dazzling, and the darkness gradually encroaching upon the starry sky immediately attracted the group’s attention.

In this star river, Feng Yuan and the others had yet to find any clues, but the sudden appearance of this dark area led them to a thought.

"That area... the anomaly, likely not intentional on their part."

Staring into the deep darkness, Qi Chen murmured to himself. Even Qi Chen could feel the malodorous aura emanating from it, a sentiment shared by the others without needing to be said.

The darkness clashed with the star river yet robustly claimed a large territory.

"I plan to investigate what’s going on with that dark region. Qi Chen, you all get on White Wolf Deity’s back. Qiu Hanmo and Hong Zhi, you remain close to Veronia, don’t stray far. Ah Mu’s group... stay near your Beastmaster as much as possible."

Feng Yuan gave strict instructions, raising his head towards Tamur. This area was chaotic, but not quite an Abyss. There, he sensed an incredibly peculiar aura; a repulsive stench from what felt like a composite of errors, which worried Feng Yuan somewhat.

Up next, it might be a fierce battle.
