Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1054 - 1055: Reasons

Veronia twirled the parasol in her hand and glanced at Pomiti on Big Cat’s head, saying,

"Do you regret the decisions you made before?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat perplexed, followed Veronia’s gaze and instantly understood; he chuckled lightly and said,

"I don’t know whether changing history or it is more important. I don’t understand either...So, those who try to tamper with history always have to pay a price, right?"

Agunas glanced at Pomiti and flicked its tail, knowing Feng Yuan’s intentions and even subconsciously distancing himself from Pomiti. However, the precondition for the other party’s wish fulfillment—even he could not erase that, just as he could not escape the consequences.

With his hand on Yanlan’s shoulder, Qi Chen shook his head to signal her to stay quiet. He knew Yanlan might not bear it, but that was the other party’s original intent, and moreover, the war... He also didn’t know whether Feng Yuan’s choice was right or wrong. If it were him, how would he choose? He didn’t have an answer either.

Gitalien glanced at Feng Yuan, turned his head, and whispered,

"Looking for trouble."

Long Boduo snorted as if he didn’t care much about these matters and circled around Feng Yuan a few times before asking,

"Hasn’t it been resolved yet?"

Agunas took a shard from the woman’s hand; the surrounding scenery began to collapse, city buildings turning into a misty haze that gradually dissipated. The tune that had been humming in the ear had ceased at some unknown point. The woman reluctantly looked at the shard in Agunas’s hand and sighed. The Cat-Type Spirit Beast rubbed against the woman and gently mewed, seemingly comforting her.

Crouching down, the woman picked up the Cat-Type Spirit Beast and said,

"I’m sorry for causing you all so much trouble."

"It’s alright; if it weren’t for some accidents, I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual here,"

Feng Yuan scratched his head and glanced at Guo Huai, now understanding why his system had instructed him to seek help from the Divine Beasts. The pseudo World Clock shard, even if it were just the one in the woman’s hand, was not something he could handle on his own. It could be said that if this woman hadn’t been well aware of the potential issues with that thing, they might have had to fight her to deal with it.

And in this place, she definitely had home advantage. If he didn’t let the Divine Beasts act, only he could be sure of winning against her. Even Liao Yu would likely find it difficult to defeat her and capture her.

Next to him, Guo Huai remained silent, while Anernia quietly lay on the ground pretending to be dead. Although the matter had been resolved, it didn’t know if Feng Yuan needed it for anything else. It could sneak away, but Feng Yuan’s massages—no, his pampering—it quite liked those~

As the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the original Nightmare Zone, Feng Yuan stretched lazily and with a smile said to the woman,

"Let’s go, the environment here isn’t very pleasant. How about it? Why don’t you come back with us? I believe you don’t have any Spirit Beasts around you that can freely enter and leave the Dream Domain, right?"

The woman revealed a bitter smile and said,

"Indeed, I was using that thing in a barren land out in the wilderness, never thinking I’d end up in the Dream Domain."

"I’m quite curious, managing to control your desires like that. The artifact’s temptation is so strong, yet you still managed to remain rational, that’s impressive."

Eyeballing the woman, Feng Yuan exclaimed in admiration; the pseudo World Clock shard had no lure for him because he intrinsically had abilities far surpassing those of the artifact, so why bother? But for her, it was different—without the ability to traverse time and with endless nostalgia for the past.

Gently stroking the fur of the Cat-Type Spirit Beast in her arms, the woman sighed and said,

"Because originally it was to save me that it... And also having it beside me, I believe it wouldn’t want me to wallow in sadness..."

The Cat-Type Spirit Beast turned its head to look at the woman, stretched out its paw, and gently wiped the tears from her face. Lowering her head, the woman said in a low voice,

"I miss it so much, but... it definitely wouldn’t want to see me hinder its growth because I miss it... Back then, it loved taking it all around to play."

Seemingly recalling something, the woman raised her head with a slight smile and talked about how Hua Ye Fox had taken care of that Cat-Type Spirit Beast. Feng Yuan looked at the Cat-Type Spirit Beast in her arms with surprise. He naturally recognized that it was a common Earth System Cat-Type Spirit Beast, Rock Spirit Cat, which was why he guessed that it probably didn’t have the ability to enter the Dream Domain.

Rock Spirit Cat was a pure Earth System Spirit Beast; it simply couldn’t have the ability to access the Dream Domain. However, had the Hua Ye Fox been taking care of the Rock Spirit Cat the whole time? Feng Yuan looked at Najia, who seemed to have helped him look after those Spirit Beasts for a while.

At that moment, Najia was shrinking into Yang Hongzhi’s arms, silent. It disliked goodbyes and didn’t want to watch; gently patting Najia’s back, Yang Hongzhi murmured something softly.

Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, glanced at Big Cat, who had been looking after Pomiti for quite a while. What if... it was mad at him? Seeing Feng Yuan look his way, Big Cat let out a puzzled meow, and Agunas flicked his tail, lazily disregarding Feng Yuan’s troublesome questions.

Seeing everyone silent, the woman smiled forcefully, saying,

"Why are you like this? This is just my own problem, why do you look so concerned?"

"May I ask presumptuously, where did you encounter the danger?"

Liao Yu looked at the woman, hesitating for a moment before speaking. Even though it seemed slightly inappropriate to ask at this time, if it had happened in the city, that danger must be eliminated!

Startled, the woman glanced at his uniform and understood, saying, "It was at the Kedun Relic; I was also a part of the excavation team back then. At the time, nobody expected that inside the Kedun Relic, another Ancient Ruin was hidden. You probably know what happened afterwards."

Surprised, Liao Yu nodded; he also knew about the incident at the Kedun Relic—it had caused a great commotion. What was supposed to be a straightforward excavation had turned into a severe disaster, with nearly a hundred lives lost, not to mention those injured in the incident.

"At that time, it stayed behind to protect me... but when I saw it again, it had..."

She said and suddenly, covering her face, cried uncontrollably. Feng Yuan sighed, patted Liao Yu on the shoulder, and said,

"Let’s not ask anymore, shall we?"

"I just wanted to confirm whether there was any danger in the city... um, are you... are you alright?"

After crying for quite a while, the woman wiped her tears and showed a bittersweet smile, saying, "I’m sorry. After that incident, I came back here to be an ordinary magazine journalist. I..."

"If it’s too painful, then don’t force yourself to remember. It wouldn’t want that for you, right?"

Feng Yuan softly said to the woman, as for forgetting? He thought she might not do so. Although sometimes he himself felt that forgetting the past might be a good option, it was merely a fleeting thought.

Seeing the Rock Spirit Cat try to pull faces to cheer her up, the woman smiled at the Rock Spirit Cat and said, "Thank you..."

At that moment, Feng Yuan understood why she could restrain her desires so well. Compared to ordinary people, she had once been a researcher of Ancient Ruins, so she was very aware of how terrible those ancient artifacts could be. Although the fragments of the World Clock weren’t ancient artifacts, in a sense, they were somewhat similar.

Having witnessed the horrors of Ancient Ruins, she naturally had fears and wasn’t tempted by the fragments of the World Clock. It didn’t seem impossible.

"About her situation, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?"

Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu, somewhat uncertain, asking. Though the woman had not caused any major commotion, and had it not been for their arrival, the Special Duty Team might not even have known about the incident, but Liao Yu had reported to his team before they left; pretending to be unaware would be difficult. However, if so...

"Don’t worry, this matter hasn’t caused any major disturbances. We won’t intervene; after all, aren’t many matters actually settled by Divine Beasts among themselves? Should we still chase and punish those people?"
