Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1061 - 1062: The Plan

"Don’t worry though, even though there’s a war, modern warfare isn’t as prolonged as it was during the Dynasty Era."

Seeing their grave expressions, Feng Yuan said with a smile. In this world, because of the existence of Spirit Beasts and Divine Beasts, there hasn’t been a war of attrition like in the previous world. After all, it’s incredibly difficult to achieve a balance of power; just any Divine Beast might tilt the scales of victory with ease. It might take a long time to prepare, but when the actual fighting starts, it’s not like in the Dynasty Era where it mostly relied on ordinary people.

Victory might only take one or two years, and besides, if we catch a chance for Lorraine Tower and the others to intervene, it might just end in a day.

Of course, that’s speaking of total war. If it’s a continuous small-scale conflict, I don’t know how long that might last.

"What war, what conflict, this doesn’t concern you much, here, dessert."

Qi Chen’s Mother came out of the kitchen and said with some amusement. As for Feng Yuan, it’s fine, with his strength, the military might ask for his help, but Qi Xiaoshuang and Qi Chen wouldn’t have that possibility. She was well aware of their capabilities, and they simply weren’t suitable for this matter. Even if they were approached, she wouldn’t agree to let them join any border conflicts unless there was no other choice.

Thinking of Qi Chen’s father, she sighed. Although he finally came home, he still couldn’t sit still and seemed to be looking for ways to help the border. Really... don’t make your family worry.

"That’s right, that’s right~ That doesn’t concern us much. If it were all-out war, it’s not so bad, I might even find a chance to sweep through them. But if it’s a long-term localized battle, I really have no solution."

Feng Yuan casually picked up a piece of dessert and ate as he spoke, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. That fellow’s idea of sweeping through, he guessed, could probably actually mean just that—a sweep so vast that no amount of Divine Beasts could stop it, given his strength. But...

"Do you plan on taking action yourself?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some skepticism. It didn’t quite believe that he would do so, since that would mean a lot of trouble, and it wasn’t in his nature to go that far for Great Xia, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas with annoyance and said,

"How could that be possible? Why bother when I can just call Eclipse and Xilnais? It’s no big deal, right?"

"You’re joking, right?"

"That darn lizard!"

At the side, Veronia said in a low angry voice. It certainly hadn’t forgotten all the things Xilnais had done in the World of Mirrors. Feng Yuan looked at Veronia with some amusement and said,

"Do you need to be that angry? Isn’t it quite good the way things are now? Maintaining that thing, you think it’s really fun?"

Holding the World of Mirrors orb, Veronia thought for a long time before saying,

"That’s true, it’s not bad now, at least... they won’t just disappear..."

"You really are... But won’t their appearance attract the animosity of other countries’ Divine Beasts?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled. He remembered him saying that not letting Lorraine Tower and others take direct action was to avoid enmity from other countries’ Divine Beasts and even trigger a Divine Beasts’ great war in the Divine Land Region. So why was it okay now?

"As long as there’s a good enough reason to take action, it’s quite easy to find one in case of full-scale war."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and responded offhandedly. In a real fight, everyone has less to lose and can easily find reasons, but restraint is necessary in localized warfare—it’s not so easy to find an excuse, and without one, he wouldn’t dare let Eclipse and the others get involved. After all, their appearance would provoke alarm and hostility even more severe than Lorraine Tower and the others.

"It’s easy to say that, but when the time comes, it would be very difficult to control. After all, excuses aren’t just found by you."

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with a headache. In fact, if it really came down to it, it would be difficult to say whether it wouldn’t turn into a great Divine Beast war. Feng Yuan laughed triumphantly and said,

"So what? Lorraine Tower and the others will surely stand with us. Without them, can the others’ Divine Beasts really stop Eclipse and Xilnais?"

"You really aren’t afraid, but places like Great Xia couldn’t handle it. If fighting really broke out, could the Divine Land Region even survive?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly; that guy was truly reckless. What worried it most was their unleashing their ultimate moves without restraint, potentially causing the entire Divine Land Region to collapse.

Veronia looked at Agunas and said,

"Don’t worry about that, I’ve asked around. Few Divine Beasts support them. Even if we use the Mirror Image World, it would be enough, not to mention the World’s Shadow."

"How can you..."

Agunas was taken aback, not quite understanding when Veronia had had the time to ask about this matter, and said to Feng Yuan with irritation,

"That was something he asked me to help with, to inquire about privately. If you’re worried, you can go ask them yourself."

Although its relationship with the other Divine Beasts wasn’t very good, it wasn’t bad either. If there really was something, they wouldn’t hide it from it, let alone the fact that its inquiry was clearly intending to start a real fight.

This was no small matter, and those Divine Beasts would naturally answer carefully. As for joking around? Even the Vermilion Bird could figure out what would happen if a group of Divine Beasts waged war in the Divine Land Region, could the others not know?

Just then, there was a knock on the window. Feng Yuan looked at Lorna in the window, surprised, and said,

"How did you... come here?"

"You seem very surprised. Could it be that I’m not welcome?"

Lorna looked at Feng Yuan with an ambiguous expression, seemingly sad, as the latter scratched Xiao Ji’s neck and said,

"I didn’t say that, it’s just, I didn’t expect you to come, especially since you’re staying at Gladys’s now, aren’t you?"

"I’m not her Beast Tamer, by the way. I just overheard something about a war. Are you planning to go to war with some country? Do you need any help?"

"Uh... that’s... not necessary."

Feng Yuan looked at Lorna somewhat uneasily, although she only had the strength of a Sacred Beast Level, he couldn’t guarantee what would happen if she got involved. He was well aware of that special space-time power she possessed, and if they really took action, he didn’t know if the effects would be similar to when Lorraine Tower or Agunas went all out.

"Why don’t you help me rebuild..."

"Rejected!"

Feng Yuan interrupted Veronia before she could finish her sentence, exasperated. Did that guy want to drag Lorna into this? Wouldn’t that be adding to the chaos? To take advantage of the countries fighting Great Xia and sneak in to steal their place? It might just trigger a Divine Beast war the very next moment.

"Taking on a group of Divine Beasts? Doesn’t seem too difficult."

Lorna pondered briefly, and Feng Yuan said helplessly as he saw her serious demeanor,

"You can’t be serious, right? Ignore it. If you really want to rebuild Mitradite, she will get annoyed again. People are not the same as before, what’s the point?"

"People are not the same as before?!"

Lorna was stunned for a moment, then said after a while,

"Well, forget it then, if you don’t want to."

"Hey! How can you be like this? It’s one thing not to help me, but to stop me?"

Veronia said displeased to Feng Yuan, but even Qi Chen could detect that Veronia was just talking. She wasn’t really complaining.

After chatting with Lorna for a bit and feeling somewhat bored, Feng Yuan turned back to talk with Qi Chen and the others. As he exchanged pleasantries with them, Lorna sat holding Little Ice Cream and seemed lost in thought, until late at night when Qi Xiao Shuang yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

"Uh... How about you rest with us tonight?"

Seeing Lorna sitting on the table deep in thought, Feng Yuan scratched his head and asked. Lorna looked at him and nodded. Qi Chen yawned, picked up the plate, and said to Feng Yuan,

"I’ll put this away. If you want to eat, just get it from the fridge yourself. But remember to heat it up."

"Got it～"

Late at night, Kong Qing opened his eyes, puzzled as he looked at Lorna sitting at the table; meanwhile, Feng Yuan, transformed into Little Husky, lay on Xiao Ji’s back. Xiao Ji sat curled up on the ground, eyes closed and seemingly fast asleep. His tail gently pulled the restless Pomiti beside him, rolling it towards himself. Kong Qing looked at Lorna again, who was now staring at Feng Yuan with a vacant gaze as if lost in memories.

Little Husky’s Little Ice Cream on his head moved, seemingly awakened, but soon it stilled as if falling asleep again.

Lorna sighed quietly and floated down from the table to sit beside Xiao Ji. After a moment’s thought, she chose not to float onto its back, but instead sat next to it and closed her eyes.
