Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2345 - 2346: Trail Broken

The new city of Kastantos is located on a relatively low peak among the Sacred Mountains. Here, although it retains the architectural style that is in line with the traditional Kastantos culture, there is an emerging difference in its layout.

"It seems they have already embraced the new era."

Veronia surveyed the surroundings and said, compared to the Kastantos she was familiar with, this new city can only be said to have inherited from Kastantos, as many places no longer adhere to the original rules.

Although the Temple is also located at a high place, it is not at the highest point; instead, it’s situated on a cliff edge. As for the highest building, even Feng Yuan didn’t know what it was—did it look like a park?

During the Dynasty Era, Kastantos’ new city actually had a park? This truly surprised Feng Yuan.

Apart from the Temple, the surrounding buildings are of varying heights, appearing somewhat disorderly. Compared to the Kastantos of the Mythical Era, they seem much more chaotic.

After all, in the Mythical Era, the existence of the Divine Beings led to an abundance of strict rules throughout the city, especially those concerning building height, which were obsessively stringent.

The city had a unified standard for building heights; the highest had to be the council hall of the Divine Beings, and every level of buildings had to be of the same height, so at that time, Kastantos appeared layer upon layer, very orderly.

In contrast, the new city is completely different. Those buildings of varying heights would have been absolutely unacceptable to the Divine Beings back in the Mythical Era.

Apart from this apparent problem in appearance, many other places differ from the Mythical Era. Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this since many of those rules were influenced by the Divine Beings, and now that they are gone, naturally, those inhumane rules wouldn’t continue to be maintained.

"What a unique city. Has their civilization begun evolving forward after the influence of the Divine Beings faded?"

Feng Yuan looked at the surrounding shops with some amazement. Although Feng Yuan hadn’t roamed much during the Mythical Era, he still had some understanding of what cities were like in that period. Compared to the lively city now, the cities of the Mythical Era appeared lifeless and dreary.

There was no choice—not in war, then on the road to war, or facing the unreasonable demands of the Divine Beings. Ordinary life during that period wasn’t wonderful at all.

Standing on the mountain peak, as Feng Yuan observed, this new city of Kastantos is not only evolving forward but also incorporating many cultural features of the Northern Snow Plain.

Or rather, they have already been influenced by the regional culture of the Northern Snow Plain, gradually integrating into this era.

On the streets, the shops sold specialties from various countries of the Northern Snow Plain. Although, in Feng Yuan’s view, they may not compare to the artifacts they produce themselves, they can’t resist being popular.

No wonder that High Priest made such comments...

Thinking to himself, Feng Yuan understood why the High Priest could only say "as much as possible." As they gradually integrate into this era, various desires will grow uncontrollably.

The reason why the High Priest can still suppress them is merely that the order of Kastantos New City is still moving forward out of inertia. Until a better reform is demonstrated, even though the system inherited from the Mythical Era is already full of loopholes and in disrepair, it will still be maintained.

Without a better possibility, especially when the current rules do not make life hopeless, that set of rules will still maintain its original state until it’s replaced by better ones.

The power of the High Priest comes from the rules inherited from the Mythical Era. If those Ascetic Cultivators return to tempt them with a new life, it might break the suppression by the High Priest.

What will happen then, Feng Yuan doesn’t know, but Feng Yuan feels it might not be a good thing.

After all, there are many things left by Kastantos. Using those weapons to stir things up might yield some good results at first, but facing the Divine Beasts of the entire world, Feng Yuan always feels their chances of winning are slim.

But considering that no similar incidents have appeared in modern history, Feng Yuan estimated that the Ascetic Cultivators in the end didn’t do that.

Of course, Feng Yuan is also unclear about the situation of modern Kastantos New City.

Now holding the spatial coordinates of this region, Feng Yuan is a bit inclined to return to the present and see the modern Kastantos New City.

"Perhaps, to them, the high-seated presence is instead a harmful existence."

Veronia couldn’t help but lament while looking at this vibrant city. Unlike the future evolution of the Parallel World, this city, to her, is the true continuation and development of the Mythical Era.

After losing the rule of Divine Beings and Divine Beasts, this state makes her feel more comfortable compared to the Mythical Era. Unfortunately, this is Kastantos, not Mitradite.

No, even if it’s Mitradite, without him there, no matter how it changes, it will only make her more sorrowful.

"You can’t really say it’s good or bad. After all, it’s still in transition, and no one knows what the future will be like."

With a shrug, Feng Yuan made no comment on it. In his view, there is no absolute good or bad, and each has its pros and cons, it’s just a matter of personal feeling.

In this city, Feng Yuan and his group stood out. If not for the emblem given by the High Priest, there might have been a crowd gathered around them.

Of course, unlike other places, the people in this city didn’t make it too obvious—they merely glanced at Feng Yuan and his group intentionally or unintentionally, not even daring to mention them in private.

This strange behavior made Feng Yuan a bit puzzled. This habit would have been quite normal in the Mythical Era because, at that time, Divine Beings and ordinary people were two completely different classes.

But now, since the Great Destruction has passed for so long, why do they still maintain this habit? Could it be related to those Ascetic Cultivators?

Uncontrollably, Feng Yuan thought of those the High Priest mentioned. If anyone was likely to cause trouble, compared to the people in this city, Feng Yuan felt they seemed more suspicious.

"It’s a pity it’s not a trip. I can’t purchase any souvenirs."

Looking at the goods in the shops, Feng Yuan sighed softly. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia let out a light snort. This guy never forgets about souvenirs, no matter when.

With a small laugh, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"But these things look so interesting and meaningful as souvenirs."

After all, this is the process of Kastantos continuing and evolving towards the integration of external cultures, so these items possess unique characteristics of the era.

Feng Yuan is sure that once he returns to the present, he won’t be able to find similar things, because by then, if Kastantos New City still exists, it would have already completed its cultural transformation.

Such items unique to a specific time period are, in Feng Yuan’s view, the most intriguing.

"It’s not impossible, although it might cause some temporal-spatial disturbance, it should be small in scale."

Agunas wagged its tail and said, after all, returning to the past might change a few things, and as long as it’s managed well, it’s fine.

"Forget it, it’s unnecessary to risk danger just for this collection hobby."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan decided against it. Although theoretically, just buying a few things wouldn’t affect history, who knows if some extremely low-probability event might occur.

To avoid trouble, it’s probably the right choice to do fewer things that might be dangerous.

Apart from those items in the shops, there’s not much in this city that Feng Yuan and the others found noteworthy. While it’s inherited from the Mythical Era, after all, humans and gods are different. Many things, with the end of the Mythical Era, cannot be reproduced, even at this Kastantos site.

Of course, compared to the Mythical Era, the technology inherited from Mythical Era Kastantos is enough for this era’s use.

However, Feng Yuan also discovered a problem, that is, the technology in this city is regressing; no, to be accurate, it should be that the technology used for new things isn’t as good as the old ones—it’s as if they’ve been forgetting the past.

Could this matter be related to those Ascetic Cultivators?

Immediately, Feng Yuan thought of those people. After all, such changes can only prove they should have lost that part of the technology; otherwise, without better alternative technology, they wouldn’t give up using the original convenient technology.

"It’s really troublesome. After chasing so far, it turns out the people I wanted to find aren’t here."

He sighed, Feng Yuan looked helpless.
