Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2491: Chapter 2492: Negotiation

Feng Yuan did not take the strange things that Qi Chen encountered to heart. Compared to these trivial matters, the real trouble lies in the Temple and the Anti-Divine Beast Rune. Each one is thorny, and if handled poorly, it might even ruin the current favorable situation.

Indeed, although constantly under the Imperial Timeline’s raid, Feng Yuan feels that the current state of the Main World is not considered bad. Apart from those opportunists, the United Army has already been formed, and in resisting the Imperial Timeline, the United Army is relatively united.

If these two issues are directly disclosed, Feng Yuan suspects that the United Army might even split into factions with differing opinions. However, these matters cannot be suppressed forever; after all, they need to be faced eventually. It’s better to prepare now because it’s more troublesome to face them with no preparation.

But these matters are something Feng Yuan cannot handle, and not even Veronia can make a decision easily, given how many things are involved.

"Why don’t I ask Little Crocodile then."

In the living room, after a long discussion without answers, Veronia spoke up. After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"How’s the situation on the battlefield?"

"Just the same, isn’t that how war is? Although those opportunists have taken a hit, it seems the Imperial People haven’t gained much advantage either; at least the intensity of the war hasn’t changed much currently."

Although Veronia did not participate in the front-line combat, it still kept an eye on the news from that side, and even occasionally consulted Agunas for intelligence, since Agunas’s position on the front line is not low.

"Knowing this matter, Agunas should withdraw, right? However, if the current battle is going well, its withdrawal shouldn’t affect much."

Feng Yuan said while stroking his chin. The reason he hadn’t let Veronia contact Agunas before was precisely because Agunas is significant to the frontline. Though there are several Top-level Divine Beasts like Agunas, those biased towards humans are indeed scarce.

In addition, truly experienced in warfare, there aren’t many. For Divine Beasts, especially Top-level Divine Beasts, they have little experience in large-scale warfare since their primary enemies are those invaders from outside the world and existences within the world attempting to disrupt order.

These folks have no possibility of large-scale operations. Comparatively, Agunas has experience in this regard, as that’s how it was during the Mythical Era.

Nonetheless, Agunas’s combat experience doesn’t compare to Veronia’s. It’s just that Veronia doesn’t want to be involved in this matter.

War, this wretched thing, Veronia truly despises it, not to mention it doesn’t have as much it wants to protect as Agunas does. For it, just doing what’s within its jurisdiction is enough. As for protecting Wild Spirit Beasts?

If it happens to encounter, it might manage it, but taking initiative, Veronia isn’t interested.

"Perhaps, I can help ask."

Veronia spoke, directly using a specialized Divine Beast to convey its message because crossing timelines, the Divine Beast intelligence network and their usual communication methods are ineffective.

On the front-line battlefield, upon receiving the transmission from Veronia, Agunas was initially not concerned. After all, this wasn’t the first time the other party sought it for frontline information during this period. Of course, the other party was very discreet, asking only unrelated intelligence, not involving secrets.

But this time, the transmission was unexpected. Veronia didn’t say what purpose it had, only that there was an extremely important matter requiring its return for discussion, and particularly emphasized the urgency.

If it wasn’t known that Veronia wouldn’t mess around with such a matter, Agunas would honestly suspect that perhaps the other party was bored and wanted to toy with it.

But since the other party said so, there was clearly something serious, probably more urgent than the frontline battles. Thinking this, Agunas directly told the other Divine Beasts.

Although Agunas’s significance on the frontline battlefield is substantial, leaving doesn’t actually pose much problem. Divine Beasts and the United Army are essentially two teams. It’s just that Divine Beasts like Agunas can maneuver between them, allowing the two tangentially related teams to act together effectively.

Even without Agunas, other Divine Beasts can temporarily take over its current tasks. Moreover, due to the attacks, the United Army’s actions have become more cautious, as nobody knows whether the Imperial Timeline might use this opportunity to spring a trap.

The next day, Agunas hurried back to Maomu City. Looking at the city that had undergone many changes, Agunas sighed. The impact of this war on the Main World is far greater than previously anticipated.

In the dormitory, Feng Yuan was not sleeping in or staying up late during this period.

No choice, due to the war’s impact, various entertainment activities were inevitably affected. Even without specific restrictions, given the Imperial People’s random attacks could happen at any time, what everyone cares most about now is how to maximize their self-protection abilities.

Even the focus on Beast Taming competitions has decreased compared to those sharing outdoor survival experiences.

There’s no choice; Beast Taming competitions have rule constraints. While they seem intense, they still have considerable shortcomings in actual combat. Unlike outdoor survival experiences.

Beastmasters in the wild have no fair, just rules. As long as they achieve the desired outcome, whatever means can be used.

And these means are certainly against the rules in competitions, but they are quite useful when facing real enemies.

For instance, Domain Battlefield and Crystal Field Awakening have been used creatively by those venturing deep into the wild.

These aren’t restricted to only Beast Taming use; unlike the Spirit Beast Contract, there’s no quantity limit with the Taming Beast Contract.

Thus, those Beastmasters venturing into the wild have already begun using Spirit Beasts to initiate Domain Battlefield and Domain Awakening, even simultaneously using multiple domains against enemies.

Unlike ordinary Beasts and Spirit Beasts, the Spirit Beasts used for initiating battlefields themselves aren’t strong, and precisely for this reason, nurturing these Spirit Beasts doesn’t consume much extra resources.

However, these Spirit Beasts can provide support effects through Domain Battlefield and Crystal Field similar to ordinary Spirit Beasts, and at times, exhibit effects akin to Beast Tamer troops.

The first time seeing these things, Feng Yuan was speechless. Despite each Spirit Beast’s resource consumption being low, for most Beastmasters, they simply cannot employ such means.

It’s not a game; it’s impossible to say they’ll set them free after overcoming this crisis. Doing so will definitely draw intervention and sanctions from Divine Beasts.

But kept continuously, those Beastmasters might not have the capability, as their own strength is insufficient to support their exploration deep into the wilderness.

"The miraculous effects of the Crystal Field are good, but perhaps they should manage things; if those people continue like this, Agunas and the others will eventually blow up."

Looking at the related news on his phone, Feng Yuan felt a bit speechless. Originally, the price of Domain Crystals had stabilized, but just because of this incident, it led to the price of Domain Crystals climbing again.

During the time when the Crystal Domain was first discovered, the crystal output was vast. Ordinarily, even large-scale purchases wouldn’t cause price fluctuations.

"What things would make me blow up? Could it be related to why it suddenly called me back?"

Without waiting for Veronia’s reply, Agunas’s puzzled voice came unexpectedly. Turning to look at Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled brightly and said,

"That’s a minor issue, calling you back..."

Feng Yuan didn’t finish the sentence but gestured to Veronia with his eyes. No choice, if preventative measures aren’t taken, information leaks would be tremendously problematic.

Seeing Feng Yuan’s cautious appearance, Agunas squinted its eyes and nervously wagged its tail. It knows Feng Yuan well, and also, no one now would be spying on Feng Yuan trying to steal information.

The fact that the counterpart is so cautious only indicates the matter is extremely important.

After hearing Feng Yuan’s account, Agunas was stunned. It truly hadn’t expected such an issue. Whether the Imperial Timeline should stay or be eliminated, whether the Temple issue should be disclosed—these are no small matters...
