Chapter 2349 - 2350: Everyone Has Their Own Troubles
In casual conversation, Feng Yuan teased the humpback turtle on his shoulder, which annoyed Xiao Ji, and suddenly, a light fell on the Sanctuary recorded in North Peak City. Seeing Agunas and the others all looking at him, Feng Yuan shrugged and said,
"They must have contacted her, right? Although the United Management Committee is managing these three cities now, to them, the Chief Officer they acknowledge should be her."
"They contacted her actively? Why?"
Agunas looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously, feeling like there were many unanswered questions. Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said,
"Because of the humpback turtle. Currently, only the descendants of the Mythical Era Divine Beasts can cultivate Domain Spirit Beasts, which are their exclusive resources. But the ones from The Old World Continent don’t count, because they don’t have corresponding Divine Beasts there."
"Domain Spirit Beasts don’t appear at random; only when a Divine Beast from the Mythical Era enables its birth will the corresponding Domain Spirit Beast manifest. For you all, you shouldn’t have a corresponding Domain Spirit Beast for now because another requirement is the existence of the Divine Beast’s corresponding descendants."
"The reason is probably because Domain Spirit Beasts themselves need to rely on the rules corresponding to Mythical Era Divine Beasts, which is why this situation occurs."
Feng Yuan guessed that the requirement for the Divine Beast to have descendants to give birth to a corresponding Domain Spirit Beast was probably because those Divine Beasts are not the most patient beings.
After all, Domain Spirit Beasts don’t spread like Ordinary Spirit Beasts, and according to the information given by them, the appearance of Domain Spirit Beasts this time was due to a trade between Locke Bedenia and them.
There was no choice; Agunas and the others might not be able to find the hidden Locke Bedenia, but Feng Yuan was different. He entirely had the capability to forcefully extract Locke Bedenia from wherever they were hiding, which is why the other party made this trade and even gave Feng Yuan a humpback turtle, even though he had no use for this little guy.
"Besides the common effects, what other abilities does the humpback turtle have?"
After learning about the special origin of the Domain Spirit Beast, Agunas was somewhat curious about the specific ability of the humpback turtle. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,
"It can create a mountainous environment, where the Ultimate Moves involving carrying effects of mountains will directly activate and can alter the form and power effects of certain Ultimate Moves. It seems like it can also be treated as another type of Domain."
"However, unlike a Domain, only Beast Tamers can enjoy it, and it is almost impossible to overlay and destroy it."
Shrugging, Feng Yuan said it was a pity that the humpback turtle didn’t quite fit with his team, and even the universal effect didn’t hold much significance.
Flicking its tail, Agunas pondered, thinking it was not surprising that only Beast Tamers could enjoy it, as one could tell from the ability’s activation.
It can only fully exert its power after signing a Domain Contract with a Beastmaster; Wild Spirit Beasts naturally cannot enjoy this effect like the Crystal Domain since they cannot sign Domain Contracts with Domain Spirit Beasts.
At the same time, this Domain is equivalent to a permanent boost. According to Feng Yuan’s introduction, it can be shrunk to the range under the Spirit Beast’s feet, meaning unless two Spirit Beasts are stuck together, Domain overlap is nearly impossible.
Therefore, destroying the Domain is almost impossible. Even though some Ultimate Moves can temporarily halt the Domain’s effects, they cannot completely prevent it, as the Domain is automatically generated by the Domain Spirit Beast.
So, Domain Spirit Beasts are relatively important to Beastmasters. It’s no wonder they contacted that High Priestess; clearly, the humpback turtle will become a unique and essential resource, and possessing such a resource might drag the Kashantos Holy Mountain into turmoil.
"So, must there be descendants to create a Domain Spirit Beast?"
Veronia’s question made Feng Yuan pause. Although Veronia forcibly calmed herself, the excitement in her heart was still uncontrollably obvious.
"That’s correct, so it’s not very meaningful to you. Besides, there’s no need, is there? Domain Spirit Beasts will only be born among Divine Beasts or their corresponding descendants from the Mythical Era."
Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand what Veronia was getting at. Suddenly, Veronia looked towards the sky, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
"Then... why... why like this..."
"We clearly survived the fall of the Mythical Era together, yet..."
"So, this is all just a lie, right? Not all Divine Beasts of the Mythical Era can have Domain Spirit Beasts, right?"
Seeming to understand something, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,
"Not really, the information I have is just like this. From the Mythical Era, belonging once to the Divine Beasts of that time, after they lost their past responsibilities, they have the final help of giving birth to the corresponding Domain Spirit Beasts."
"However, there’s a slight deviation because of the emergence of the Parallel World."
"Regarding how to make up for the missing part, I don’t know."
Calmly meeting Veronia’s gaze, Feng Yuan understood what she hoped for. Rather than saying she was questioning, it was more like Veronia sensed the implicit information in his words.
Agunas suspiciously looked at Feng Yuan and asked,
"Even me?"
"Indeed, though I don’t know exactly what it means, what they told me is this explanation. What’s going on specifically—why don’t you ask them?"
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan expressed helplessness. He knew Veronia hoped he would provide that answer, but he truly didn’t know what was going on.
He couldn’t casually inform Veronia that it might be possible to fulfill that requirement by reviving the former descendants, even though that’s what Veronia hoped to hear.
Because besides this possibility, other possibilities might exist. If Feng Yuan speculated wildly and gave Veronia false hope, it could lead to adverse events happening later on.
"Veronia..."
Agunas looked at the frenzied Veronia, unsure of how to persuade her. As Veronia questioned Feng Yuan, Agunas thought of this too; it just wasn’t quite convinced of resurrecting people who had died long ago.
Even though they could be settled through The Old World Continent, resurrecting the deceased involves incredibly complex matters. Just the act of extending a limited lifespan is considered taboo, let alone reviving the dead, which is even more forbidden.
Agunas and the others understood that if it was just an occasional miracle, perhaps humans wouldn’t go mad. But when such a miracle is no longer a miracle but an inevitability, even if they were Divine Beasts holding the topmost powers, they wouldn’t escape endless scheming.
This is also why Feng Yuan didn’t even mention this speculation. Even if it were true, if no one acknowledged it, let it be considered a miracle.
The news brought a bit of trouble for Feng Yuan and the others, and things were no better for the High Priestess.
The sudden appearance of a Domain Spirit Beast directly overshadowed the excitement and thrill of reconnecting with the gods of Kashantos. Even though she doesn’t participate in management, she very well knows the impact of the Domain Spirit Beast’s emergence on the Kashantuosi Remnants.
They might conceal it, but with cultural integration reaching this point, their connections and involvement with the outside world run deep.
Unless they plan never to let Domain Spirit Beasts leave Kashantos Holy Mountain, this news will inevitably become known.
Even due to their trade relations with the outside world, even if she says nothing, the outside will still learn about the Domain Spirit Beast.
What a hassle...
The High Priestess sighed, knowing that mishandling the Domain Spirit Beast issue could lead Kashantuosi Remnants into a catastrophic situation.
However, it’s not without potential benefits.
The appearance of Domain Spirit Beasts means their gods have also emerged. Any country wishing to move against them will have to consider their gods backing them.
Moreover, Domain Spirit Beasts can become their uniquely held special resource, allowing them to trade for things previously unattainable.
Yet, how to grasp the measure, how to avoid inviting calamity, all requires careful thought.
There is one thing for sure: she absolutely won’t reveal that the appearance of the Domain Spirit Beast has anything to do with Feng Yuan. If it weren’t for the words of her own gods, she’d hardly believe that person possesses such an ability, capable of forcibly locating hidden gods, and that even gods are helpless against him.
