Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1058 - 1059: The Plan

"Heh heh, a delicious open-air meal after some exercise is truly a treat," Feng Yuan said proudly at the riverside campsite. Although Gitalien and Liao Yu had already left, the place still maintained its previous appearance. Yun You brought over dinner, most of the main dishes were already prepared, with only some of the smaller dishes remaining as raw ingredients for them to cook as they wished.

"It’s a shame the others couldn’t come..." Feng Yuan said somewhat regretfully. Although Pei Yu was there, Zhong Liuyan didn’t seem to have come over, and since he had just given those students a tough time, Pei Yu probably didn’t feel comfortable coming either. Of course, whether the other party wanted to come was another matter.

"Don’t worry about that, hasn’t Chen Xin already told us? After we’ve filled out our university preferences, there’ll be a graduation banquet," someone chimed in.

"I just don’t know how many people will show up then, especially Zhong Liuyan and the others. The rest don’t really matter; it’s the few that we know..."

Feng Yuan said with his head down, speaking in a low voice. Just as Qi Chen was getting worried and walking over, Feng Yuan looked up and shook the plate in his hand at Qi Chen, saying,

"Come and try this fragrant fish fillet, it really tastes good!"

"You guy..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, who was casually holding a piece of fish fillet doused in special sauce, somewhat speechlessly. Yang Hongzhi, reminded of something, said to Feng Yuan,

"Do you want me to take you to the school to get a dorm room now? While it’s not a problem to move your things when the semester starts, maybe it’s better to set things up in advance?"

Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi and shook his head, saying,

"That won’t be necessary; it’s not my first time going there..."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and then turned away. Unlike Qi Chen and the others, it could guess that Feng Yuan meant he had experienced this kind of life more than once. Even so, he had not chosen a different path. Was school life really that interesting? Holding the World of Mirrors bead, Veronia wondered about something for a while, and then turned to Najia, saying,

"Can you help me with the enrollment process?"

Najia was taken aback and looked puzzled as Veronia turned to Feng Yuan with a mysterious smile and said,

"I’m quite curious about what college life is really like. Why is it so... unforgettable for him?"

"This... isn’t really a good idea, is it?"

Seeing Veronia seemed serious, Najia said with some concern. Having Divine Beasts attend a human school wasn’t a big problem, but what would be tough to manage was what they’d learn there. How to teach Divine Beasts to cooperate with Beast Tamers? Not to mention that they could not sign a Taming Beast Contract with Spirit Beasts at all, and even if they could, their own abilities would far surpass those of the Spirit Beasts they’d team up with.

Moreover, there were bound to be various odd conflicts within the school itself. Though these wouldn’t be too severe, even Divine Beasts would form their little cliques, not to mention humans with their complex thoughts. What if Veronia were to be accidentally provoked by someone later on?

"What’s wrong with that? That guy has forged an identity for me before, it shouldn’t be too difficult," Veronia said indifferently, now genuinely interested in enrolling. Agunas looked at Veronia helplessly and said,

"If you really want to experience college life, you can just follow him around. As for enrolling, it’s better not to. Besides, that forged identity he made..."

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, who was discussing which dish was tastiest with Qi Chen and the others. That guy’s technique was not simple forgery. Or to put it another way, if he hadn’t been careless, the identity he crafted would have harbored a serious conflict, and might have been a realistic and valid human identity. Other than him, probably only Lorraine Tower might have been able to pull off such a feat.

"Don’t you think a real experience requires going through it completely from beginning to end?"

Veronia, with a stern tone, stared at Agunas who flicked his tail with a glance,

"If they speak disrespectfully to you, you’re not allowed to directly retaliate with force."

"I don’t need you to tell me what to do, Little Crocodile!"

Veronia turned her head away with an angry look, but moments later said,

"However, if I make humans afraid of me from the start, it seems there would be no point in the experience. Fine, Little Crocodile, I’ll take your advice."

Upon hearing Veronia’s words, Agunas rolled his eyes.

"I can’t keep accompanying you if you continue to take leave; the old man might lose his temper."

Cheng Xiaoxiao said to Su Wen with a smile. These past few days, her main task was to accompany Su Wen and interact with the researchers. Although there wasn’t a huge age gap between them and Feng Yuan’s group, perhaps only Feng Yuan himself had a deep enough understanding of potions to have meaningful conversations with Su Wen. As for Cen Chudie, she didn’t follow Feng Yuan around all the time.

The new evolutionary form of the Homeward Snake was far more important than any fun and games. Su Wen and Cen Chudie both hesitated not a bit before asking their teachers for a long leave, ready to keep following the researchers as long as they were not chased away.

And thanks to Feng Yuan’s help, those researchers also collected a lot of useful information. At least, once the Homeward Snake’s evolutionary form was announced, they could hold a certain research advantage. However, they didn’t know how long this advantage could last. But in terms of the Homeward Snake’s use in warfare, they did conduct thorough research.

Great Xia was facing an imminent war, and this was when Shen Shi walked up to Feng Yuan with a research report, saying,

"Their impact on the battlefield is significant. Letting them go now might lead to unforeseen consequences."

Looking at the group of Homeward Snakes, he was somewhat worried, not really hoping that they would stay to help Great Xia. It was just that, the allure of those Homeward Snakes was significant, you could say that their emergence had affected many combat strategies.

"That’s unlikely. Although their space can be well hidden, it stands out quite conspicuously to Space-attribute Spirit Beasts. While there may be an impact, it shouldn’t be significant."

Glancing through the report in the other’s hand, Feng Yuan found that the conclusions matched his own predictions. He chuckled and then said,

"As for stuffing the Homeward Snake’s space with special explosives and then detonating them in enemy territory? Do they really think that won’t severely damage the Homeward Snakes? If one’s own Beast Tamer is willing to do so, that’s one thing, but forcing it would likely leave them clueless as to why those Hunters are being so frantically pursued by the Divine Beasts."

Saying this, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas. Although harming Estir was a major reason, the way they treated their own Taming Beasts was also a significant trigger of the Divine Beasts’ fury.

And not to mention, such actions definitely provoked Kong Qing. Although Kong Qing might find it difficult to retaliate immediately, let’s not forget about Gitalien. And if really necessary, it wouldn’t mind seeking help from Lorraine Tower. He was quite curious to see if those people would dare to accept responsibility for those actions.

"Don’t worry, if it comes down to it, we’ll just have Lorraine Tower issue a Divine Beast proclamation, forbidding any wild Homeward Snakes from intervening in human wars except their own Taming Beasts."

"I’ll handle it."

The human-form Gitalien said coldly. Before, it had been happy for Kong Qing, as its goal was finally about to be achieved. But then it had to consider the interference from the human side. After thinking it over, Gitalien said,

"I’ll make the proclamation when I escort them back."

As for whether they would comply, Gitalien didn’t care. If they dared to ignore its warning, it wouldn’t mind taking action against them. It believed that the Divine Beasts would not condone such human activities. Without the Divine Beasts’ intervention, it really didn’t believe any tactics could stop it.

"That’s up to you. However, I think having the Alliance step in might be... hm, how about having the Divine Beast Hall also make an appearance?"

Feng Yuan amended his suggestion, remembering that interesting person. Gitalien looked at him suspiciously, unsure of his intentions. It took a moment before asking,

"What exactly are you thinking? Even so, the Divine Beast Hall might not take kindly to you."

"I just don’t want the Alliance to become too powerful. Don’t you agree that things are quite good as they are now?"

Feng Yuan chuckled and counter-asked Gitalien.
