Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1206 - 1207: Disappointment
Chapter 1206: Chapter 1207: Disappointment
With a hand on his forehead, Feng Yuan didn’t know how to comment on the other party’s self-destructive behavior. Agunas glared at Shen Weiguo, clearly ready to make him pay unless he gave an explanation. In her human form, Veronia reminded,
"He doesn’t have that ability. If you really want to see it done, it has to be him."
Seeing Agunas staring at him, Feng Yuan shrugged and said,
"I’m not that bored, and besides, I can’t bring myself to do it."
Indeed, Feng Yuan did not want to tell him how to do it. Although he knew there was a way to transfer the attack, as they had guessed that the offensive was utilizing special Breath of Death to wipe out living beings, and this Breath of Death could indeed be transferred. However, there were also ordinary people and their Spirit Beasts on the opposing side. The conflict was between Great Xia and those smaller nations, and Feng Yuan could not bring himself to be so ruthless.
"Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. They will not stop unless there’s a cost," said Shen Weiguo, looking at Feng Yuan with a pleading expression. Feng Yuan simply shook his head and replied,
"No, I disagree. I don’t want to cause such massive casualties. No matter how you all are fighting, I don’t want... to do it personally."
As he spoke, Feng Yuan glanced at his own open palm. Was he innocent? No, how many Star Ocean races had he destroyed back then? Could it be that the longer one lived, the less one could bear? He didn’t understand, not even himself. All he knew was that he didn’t want to help the other party shift the impending attack.
Even if doing so could greatly deter the opponent, perhaps it was because he still didn’t fully consider himself a person of Great Xia?
Seeing Feng Yuan silent, Shen Weiguo sighed and did not continue to persuade him. He knew that given Feng Yuan’s character, further persuasion would be useless and may even provoke his dislike. Yet, he still felt unwilling, after all, if successful, those smaller nations would likely not dare to make any moves against Great Xia for a while.
Qi Chen looked on in confusion at Feng Yuan and Shen Weiguo, not quite understanding what had transpired or why Agunas had become so angry. Veronia cast a glance at Agunas but said nothing. It was actually a good thing that Feng Yuan refused to help, because what could Agunas do if Feng Yuan truly did assist? In terms of strength, Agunas was no match for Feng Yuan. Leave Feng Yuan’s side? But this was not Feng Yuan’s fault; it was merely a request from Shen Weiguo, not much related to Feng Yuan.
"If... you really feel it’s not right, should we just leave?"
Qi Chen gently patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder and spoke softly, believing that even Shen Weiguo wouldn’t make things difficult for Feng Yuan over this. He was concerned about Feng Yuan’s silent demeanor. Why didn’t they call Dou Yanlan today? If she were here, maybe she could mediate somehow. Qi Chen couldn’t help but think.
So, was this why they always said not to rely too heavily on Dou Yanlan? Qi Chen thought helplessly, at a loss, as he couldn’t even understand what was happening.
Turning to look at the worried Qi Chen, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"It’s okay, he just proposed an idea, which is perfectly normal. After all, we each stand in different positions."
With that, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas, who still looked furious. Shen Weiguo seemed not to have noticed, or did he notice and simply not think it was because of what he said?
"You humans..."
Staring at Shen Weiguo, Agunas started to speak but didn’t know how to continue. Was it really Shen Weiguo’s fault? If Nierlat hadn’t been the first to use such a thing, would Shen Weiguo have thought of counterattacking? Shaking his tail, Agunas looked down, sulking to himself.
"This..."
Only then did Shen Weiguo notice that Agunas seemed to have a grievance against him. Why? He hadn’t done anything to it. Glancing at Shen Weiguo, Veronia sipped her tea and said,
"It can’t stand seeing Spirit Beasts suffer from malicious harm by you humans. What do you think your actions mean to it?"
"But..."
"Don’t worry about it. It’s just not getting it at the moment. It’s not strange for you to make such a request from your standpoint, but sadly, I cannot do that for you," said Feng Yuan, shaking his head at Shen Weiguo. Now was not the time for all-out war. If Nierlat could stop them, that would be good. If the original plan continued, then the world would likely come to know not only the newly appeared White Wolf Deity but also Eclipse and Xilnais. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"It’s a pity we can’t retaliate or intimidate."
Sighing, Shen Weiguo also felt somewhat helpless. They had no effective means of dealing with the border crisis, and Feng Yuan was reluctant to help. However, it was possible that Feng Yuan needed to consider Agunas’s feelings; after all, he had a good relationship with Agunas and couldn’t completely disregard how Agunas felt.
As for whether the border would suffer any significant losses due to this matter? They had already done everything they could. Those who remained at the border were prepared to face death. Although Feng Yuan had mentioned that he would ask the Divine Beasts to pay attention, the Divine Beasts rarely took humans seriously. It was entirely possible that they might fail to stop an enemy’s attack in the event of an accident.
"That won’t happen. If it truly let them continue their actions, it might provoke Eclipse and Xilnais."
With a mysterious smile, Feng Yuan spoke. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Shen Weiguo didn’t press him for the actual meaning behind his words. He knew that if the other party intended to keep it a secret, there was no way he could pry it out.
"I didn’t expect him to seek me out just for this matter. Fortunately, Granny Mianlan hasn’t asked me about it yet, otherwise..."
Returning home, Feng Yuan transformed into the form of Little Husky and lay on the sofa. Glancing at Little Husky who was wagging his tail on the sofa, Qi Chen said,
"Maybe she knew it would put you in a difficult position if she came to you with this matter?"
His wagging tail abruptly stiffened, and after a long silence, Feng Yuan said,
"That’s not impossible. Granny Mianlan, after all, knows my situation better than he does, and... it’s not unlikely she has other methods at her disposal."
Remembering that Granny Mianlan had a special promise from Drudgeon, Little Husky squeezed into the sofa gap. It was possible that she could seek help from Drudgeon, and besides, dangerous weapons weren’t just the ones released by the other party...
Somehow Little Husky managed it, continually wriggling and gradually squeezing into the inner part of the sofa gap. Veronia glanced at Little Husky and spoke irritably,
"What are you doing? Don’t you find it uncomfortable?"
Emerging from the gap, Little Husky opened his mouth and said,
"Just wanted to see what it feels like. Maybe I should try becoming a cat next time?"
"Can’t you just sit normally on the sofa?"
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said exasperatingly. This guy always seemed to enjoy transforming into strange animals. He couldn’t understand what he was thinking and had never seen him use those animal forms for any unsavory purpose.
"I can’t."
Little Husky replied decisively and leapt on top of Big Cat’s head. Xiao Ji meowed reproachfully at Little Husky, while Big Cat looked foolishly at the TV but occasionally glanced up at the top of his head.
"Do you think it’s really impossible to end this war quickly?"
Sitting beside Little Husky, Qi Chen said with an indescribable expression. After all, he had never been to the border and didn’t fully understand the implications of their concerns. However, seeing even a big shot like Shen Weiguo seeking Feng Yuan’s help today made him fear that the situation might be worse than he imagined.
"No, I can’t intervene. If I do, it gives the Divine Beasts of other countries a reason to enter the fray. Can you imagine what would happen if so many Divine Beasts start fighting?"
While using his phone for something unknown, Little Husky glanced at Qi Chen and spoke. He believed it was better to maintain this mutual restraint. If a full-on fight broke out, even opening World’s Shadow would be futile. A single Divine Beast, in full force and not counting Delong Tower, may not be able to swiftly destroy a continent, but it’s a different story when a group of Divine Beasts battle.
He had no idea if such terrible power could erase the Divine Land Region, so he dared not really take direct action. However, he was somewhat puzzled by why Nierlat was so persistent in waging war.
"As expected, those big families had the same intentions as him for not leaving immediately. It’s really..."
Waving his tail, Little Husky casually used Divine Sense to set aside his phone. Qi Chen looked curiously at Feng Yuan and said,
"Who?"
"Those people from the great families, they’ve gathered together trying to find a way to deal with the border issue."
With a flick of his tail, Little Husky yawned and said. In actuality, the stance of those great families was consistent with Great Xia’s. After all, there was only so much high-end resources. If others won, the resources that originally belonged to them would definitely become someone else’s. Even for the sake of alliance, it was impossible to distribute to everyone, so a desperate resistance was not surprising at all.
