Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1191 - 1192 Defects

"Is that really true?"

Agunas looked at Veronia with skepticism. Why did it feel like Veronia didn’t actually know about this? Could this be Feng Yuan making things up on the fly? But that wasn’t right, either. Although Feng Yuan liked to play pranks, he rarely lied about serious matters.

"I’m not sure, I don’t know much about the World’s Shadow. After all, it was one of the world’s important defense measures and was not used very often. I didn’t take part in that war at the time."

Holding her bowl, Veronia glanced at Agunas and spoke, still preferring to eat as elegantly as a human. Dou Yanlan, with some confusion, asked,

"That war?"

"The War of the Guards. But back then, it was Him who directly intervened to move parts of the battlefield into the World’s Shadow. Otherwise, considering the scale of the war back then, probably only the Starlit Sea would have remained relatively intact in the entire world."

Feng Yuan explained casually as he looked at Veronia. As for Veronia not taking part in the War of the Guards? That was not surprising at all. When they found Veronia, wasn’t she in the closed-off Ancient Ruins? Without anyone to notify her, it was not strange at all that she wouldn’t check the Divine Beasts intelligence network and therefore would know nothing of the outside world.

Nor would He actively seek her help. After all, at that time, her only desire was to guard the World of Mirrors. Even if she was called upon, she might not have the inclination to fight.

"Did that war happen inside the World’s Shadow?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with surprise, and Dou Yanlan, with a slight frown, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"But that seems somewhat incorrect. At least from what I understand, it seems like... the War of the Guards damaged many ancient cities. If it really happened within the World’s Shadow..."

Feng Yuan glanced at the Stray Spirit Beasts who were happily eating their food and smiled slightly. These little creatures didn’t seem to be affected by their conversation. But then again, whatever humans said had little to do with them unless it was specifically about them.

"The World’s Shadow has a limit to the amount of destruction it can withstand, and it can’t recover instantly. At that time, the battle had already breached the homeland, with many places engulfed in war. All He could do was to move the more intense battlefields into the still usable World’s Shadow. There was no way to transfer the entire battlefield."

"So that’s why so many areas were destroyed during the War of the Guards?"

Liao Yu murmured to himself upon hearing this ’secret information.’ Indeed, he had many questions about the War of the Guards, and the destruction it caused was one of the more curious aspects. However, records of the actual events of the war were scarce, as if they had been deliberately forgotten.

Liao Yu could understand that, to be fair, for ordinary people, knowing about enemies from outside the world might not be a good thing. Unless it was a breakthrough like the War of the Guards that penetrated the outer defenses, ordinary people might never come into contact with such enemies in their lifetime.

Knowing about these events, aside from needless worry, served no purpose. Moreover, they were only intentionally not talked about, not deliberately hidden. If one really wanted to know, it was entirely possible to learn about the War of the Guards through library archives around the world.

Eyeing Feng Yuan, Liao Yu joked,

"I didn’t expect you to really know everything. Sometimes I wonder if you’re some kind of Divine Beast that we don’t know about, living amongst us in human form, just like them."

As Veronia’s journey as a Beastmaster progressed, they sometimes couldn’t help but question Feng Yuan’s true situation. His strength was too enigmatic, and apart from the G Organization’s test subjects, very few humans could directly use a Spirit Beast’s Ultimate Move, not to mention his strength far surpassed that of the test subjects.

Previously I simply thought that Divine Beasts could not form Taming Beast Contracts, so even though I found it a bit odd, I didn’t give it much thought. But now, seeing Veronia advancing down the path of a Beastmaster, the doubts have surfaced again. Of course, it’s just speculation, because in reality, Feng Yuan’s circumstances seem to be somewhat different from those Divine Beasts in their human forms.

"Me, a Divine Beast? Impossible. If I were a Divine Beast, my attitude towards you wouldn’t be like this."

While nibbling on food, Feng Yuan gave Liao Yu a speechless glance and said, whether it’s Agunas or Veronia, they inevitably look down on humans, or rather, even for Nierlat, except for its Divine Pact Maker, Feng Yuan doesn’t think it holds any regard for other humans. It’s the influence of power and status; for Divine Beasts, it’s never a big deal, so naturally, they wouldn’t think to overcome it.

"How could he possibly be a human."

Agunas flicked its tail and said speechlessly, how could they not know what Feng Yuan is like? Without being strict, he is no different from the people of this world, with the real difference being only the soul.

"It’s just a guess, after all, you are a bit different from ordinary people..."

Scratching his head, Liao Yu chuckled and explained, if he didn’t know Feng Yuan wouldn’t get upset, he wouldn’t have said this. Ye Hanlei glanced at Liao Yu and chose not to say anything, but her relationship with Feng Yuan has indeed improved a lot compared to the beginning, otherwise, even without getting angry, she would have had an opinion about Liao Yu.

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"You guys really dare to think anything. Divine Beasts would never find any virtue in human identity; their transformation into humans is just for the convenience of achieving some purpose."

While speaking, Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia with speculation. Why she favored the human form, he had his guesses. In private, she rarely maintained a human form, but when going out, especially in front of strangers, she preferred to present herself as a human. Feng Yuan suspected it had much to do with her experiences during the Mythical Era.

Her goal might simply be to reminisce about the past. As for Lorraine Tower and Gitalien, their problems were purely due to their size. To infiltrate human society for investigating temporal or spatial anomalies, should they investigate in their original form? With their massive size, even when reduced to the smallest, they were still quite imposing, unless they used some other means to become smaller.

But they were there to investigate; assuming a human form was enough, so why trouble themselves further? Besides the size issue, there were other problematic situations, whereas the human form didn’t have as many issues.

Thus, whether it’s Delong Tower or other Divine Beasts, most rarely assumed a human form and some, like Agunas, didn’t even have a human form. Although it wouldn’t be difficult for them to create one, they chose not to do so.

Because they saw no point in it, they didn’t have the need, and that’s why their human forms aren’t widely known by the world.

"Really now..."

Seeing that even Agunas didn’t rebut, Liao Yu sighed helplessly. As for Veronia? The Divine Beast who was constantly thinking about the restoration of her country, he had also heard about her. That she would favor humans? Forget it, if that were true she wouldn’t spend all her time looking for reasons to seize a piece of human territory.

There was no escape; Veronia’s ’infamy’ had spread throughout the Special Duty Team. When she was with Feng Yuan, it wasn’t too bad, but they feared the day Veronia would leave Feng Yuan’s side – without anyone to control her, she might really run off to some place and claim territory to rebuild something like Mitradite.

Why are there so few easygoing Divine Beasts showing up in front of humans lately? No, that’s not quite right either. Najia is pretty good, but Najia, as a supporting Divine Beast, probably doesn’t stand much of a chance against Veronia. While Liao Yu was wildly speculating, Feng Yuan had already finished his food.

Turning around, Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan, who was attempting to sneak up from behind, and voiced his dissatisfaction. Xiao Ji expressed serious discontent with his naughty behavior. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled brightly, while Agunas cast a glance at Feng Yuan and flicked its tail. This guy liked to tease Xiao Ji whenever he had nothing better to do, and it was almost getting used to it.

Big Cat looked on enviously at Xiao Ji, sensing that Feng Yuan’s relationship with Xiao Ji was much better than with Big Cat itself. Big Cat knew Feng Yuan’s personality: only with those he was close to would he joke around, and as for constantly teasing Xiao Ji? Besides Xiao Ji, it had never seen him tease any other Spirit Beasts, including itself, with such frequency.
