Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2262 - 2263: The Failed Plan

"Without seeing it firsthand, it’s hard to imagine what’s really going on."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said, nodding, Feng Yuan said,

"Indeed, let’s go check out another nearby Monari Forest."

"Little Crocodile, will you lead the way or should I?"

Veronia chuckled softly and waved her small hand, the Crystal Luminance Belt swirled around her. Dou Yanlan frowned slightly and said,

"If we cause too much commotion, wouldn’t it be bad?"

"Not at all—actually, in our Mythical Era, the environment’s self-restoration ability is much stronger than you think."

Squinting her eyes, Veronia said this as she waved her hand. The Crystal Luminance Belt blasted forward, and the golden sparkling crystals exploded on contact, violently snapping the massive trees in half. Amidst the roaring sound, the area blasted by the Crystal Luminance Belt was forcibly opened up as if it had been crushed by a giant steamroller.

"This direction? It’s okay; the distance is about the same anyway."

Watching Veronia indiscriminately clear a path, Feng Yuan said helplessly. As for the matter of Veronia felling a swath of trees, he felt nothing. Unlike the forest after the Mythical Era, the forest of the Mythical Era lived up to the name of its era.

"Let’s go; if we delay further, the trees will grow back."

Pointing to the saplings that were rapidly growing, Feng Yuan reminded them. Although there were constant wars in the Mythical Era, environments like jungles persisted throughout the era, relying not on conscious protection but on the strong self-recovery capacity of these environments.

However, this exaggerated self-recovery ability was more of a negative effect both in terms of the consumption of world resources and in impacting creativity. Thus, after the fall of the Mythical Era, this powerful environmental recovery ability almost ceased to appear.

"What’s going on?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, hoping to get an answer from him, because the sapling that had just broken ground was already knee-high. This exaggerated growth ability, could it be some kind of mutation?

"It’s an intrinsic characteristic of the Mythical Era, or rather, the era itself possessed a strong environmental self-healing ability. Simple destruction would hardly truly change that environment; otherwise, considering the force of the Mythical Era, the end of the era would likely show only vast wastelands and areas altered by humans."

Walking ahead, Feng Yuan answered without turning his head. Sharing information about the Mythical Era had no impact since no one could... well, most couldn’t recreate the Mythical Era.

"Although there’s no need for such a big commotion, we don’t know what condition this Monari Forest is in. To avoid plants that might pose a deadly threat secretly, the current way of making a path is acceptable."

Watching Agunas and Veronia take turns carving out a path, Feng Yuan explained. It couldn’t be helped; in modern times, there was indeed no need for this. But since Monari Forest is from the Mythical Era, this action was very necessary.

Of course, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried about Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, since they were both on the back of the White Wolf Deity. If there was any trouble, it would be blocked by the White Wolf Deity. The real danger was for Qiu Hanmo and Yang Hongzhi.

Nonetheless, these two had plenty of combat experience. As long as there wasn’t anything too outrageous hidden, they weren’t afraid of danger.

As they moved forward, apart from wandering animals, they didn’t encounter a single human. Because Feng Yuan and the others knew little about Monari Forest, they weren’t sure if this was normal.

What made Qiu Hanmo uneasy was the animals roaming the forest. Although they didn’t dare approach, they lurked under the trees, glaring at them intently, mainly targeting Qiu Hanmo and Yang Hongzhi.

After all, apart from Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, they were the weakest. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan were on the back of the White Wolf Deity, whose constant aura of intimidation made the White Wolf Deity seem like a formidable opponent to the animals.

The animals, while strong, were only hovering at the Legendary Level.

Seeing these animals, Qiu Hanmo seemed to understand why that era was called the Mythical Era. Merely these animals were much stronger than those of the modern era.

As they moved forward, thanks to the presence of a group of Divine Beasts, they didn’t encounter any trouble.

"Is this also Monari Forest?"

Looking at the petrified forest ahead, Feng Yuan was stunned. The boundary between the two forests was very distinct: one side was a lush dense forest, the other was a colorful petrified forest, with even weeds forming a sharply defined boundary line.

"Another form of the forest, and a very peculiar entity. Rather than being lifeless, it’s more of a unique life form."

With the Crystal Luminance floating around, Veronia spoke and waved her small hand. With the telekinesis effect, she picked a stone-like leaf.

On the surface, the leaf appeared fossilized, but in Veronia’s hand, the leaf was still resilient, even quivering with her movements. However, compared to normal leaves, this thing was much stiffer.

"What exactly are they doing? And what is with this strange Monari Forest?"

Feng Yuan pondered, trying to figure out the situation. After thinking for a moment, he decisively crossed the boundary line. Unlike the conventional Monari Forest, where only animals were active, there was no lack of insect chirps and bird calls.

The petrified Monari Forest, however, was eerily silent. Even though the primitive Monari Forest was right behind them, no sound was heard here.

"Let’s continue exploring; this place is really weird."

After checking and confirming everything was fine, Feng Yuan suggested to others. Although the petrified Monari Forest was bizarre, it wasn’t significantly more dangerous than the previous location.

"There’s something reminiscent of a secret research project by Kastantos. Back during the Mythical Era, I heard they were studying something quite unique. Though little information was gathered, it’s certain it was related to petrification."

Recalling something, Veronia spoke and glanced at Tamur, who, being an embodiment of the Mythical Era, should have some knowledge about these things.

Though Tamur had shrunk its size, it was still enormous, patrolling and vigilant. Upon hearing Veronia’s words, it looked at her and said,

"The Unyielding Soldier Plan, ultimately didn’t succeed."

"So it was called that? The information on that thing was incidentally discovered; later, we sent people to investigate but couldn’t gather any intel. However, the name..."

Veronia murmured, and Agunas uneasily wagged its tail. Unlike Veronia, Agunas hadn’t heard of this matter, but it was certain Veronia wasn’t making it up.

"Using unconventional life-form methods to achieve unique immortality, yet due to soul issues, it ultimately failed."

Tamur knew what Veronia wanted to ask, so it answered directly. Feng Yuan was stunned; this sounded like those notorious biochemical experiments.

But possibly due to the particularity of the Mythical Era and the so-called power of the Divine Beings, they managed without causing disasters; otherwise, Veronia and the others would surely have known about it.

"This method... they really dare to imagine. Wait, could this be their testing ground? But wasn’t it already a failure? Wait, those people shouldn’t be related to Kastantos."

Agunas wagged its tail nervously while rambling. Feng Yuan could see its thoughts were in disarray. Thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"It should be that group’s work. Considering they traveled the world and obtained this technical literature from Kastantos during the Great Destruction, it’s not surprising. But what are they trying to achieve? Surely they don’t arrogantly think they can surpass the Kastantos?

If it weren’t for the techniques Feng Yuan initially provided, those people would say they lacked the ability to resist the Divine Beings. I think their research on this thing should be even harder to succeed unless they’ve made some new discovery since then."

Feng Yuan pondered and looked in a direction, saying,

"Let’s check out other Monari Forest instances; this is very strange."

Strangely, Feng Yuan felt that this place might not be as simple as it seemed; perhaps their objective wasn’t to create immortal soldiers but something else entirely, but even Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out what it was.
