Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1264 - 1265: The Conclusion

Here is the translated text:

Closing his eyes, the river of time surged behind Lorraine Tower. It was using the Authority of Time to observe what might happen if these energies were returned to the Earth Energy Circulation. Soon, Lorraine Tower manipulated the energies once again, splitting them apart. Watching the diminishing energy, the faces of the Divine Beasts present grew tense. Although this method wasn’t entirely safe, after numerous predictions of the future, the likelihood of danger had been minimized to an extremely low level.

As for holding onto the energy to observe longer? That was even less of an option. Regardless of anything else, the entire Earth Energy Circulation, even with the energy Feng Yuan had managed to recover, was still fragile. Already, they had noticed that the Spiritual Medicine in the distance was beginning to show signs of malnourishment. While this situation might not worsen drastically, it was evident that, until the system was restored, the Spiritual Medicine would struggle to continue growing.

And that wasn’t all. The energy circulation affected far more than just the Spiritual Medicine.

After a while, Lorraine Tower nodded and waved its claw. Only one-third of the energy was sent back into the Earth Energy Circulation. While this alleviated the immediate crisis to some extent, it didn’t restore the circulation entirely. It merely prevented further deterioration.

In the skies, Shi and Xilnais exchanged glances before departing immediately. They didn’t wish to involve themselves in these matters. After all, this was an issue of the mortal realm. Even if they stepped in, the Divine Beasts wouldn’t necessarily be grateful. Given that, why should they trouble themselves unnecessarily? After sending the trapped individuals to Feng Yuan, they left without saying a word.

Lorraine Tower raised its head, glancing at the direction from which Shi and Xilnais departed. The dark clouds had dispersed. The sunset bathed the land in its glow, yet it could not recover all that had been lost.

"What does it truly mean?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan felt puzzled. As for those people? While he hadn’t investigated the details, he figured they were probably secret agents sent by Great Xia or people assisting them; otherwise, there was no reason for Shi and Xilnais to act that way.

Standing amidst the sudden changes, the man looked around with an unreadable expression. Everything had happened too abruptly—from being unwilling to fire that weapon, to discovering that someone else had actually used the superweapon, to the ensuing chaos—everything had unfolded too quickly. Before he could make sense of it all, it was already over.

"Who are they?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. It couldn’t understand why Xilnais had thrown those people over. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"You all... forget it. Agunas, check their information." freewebnøvel.coɱ

As the Divine Beast that oversaw historical records, Agunas was not affected by deliberate concealment. As long as something existed and could be documented, Agunas would have a corresponding record. Though he had his suspicions, Agunas nonetheless retrieved the archives related to Great Xia and began searching through them.

Those people just stood there, dumbfounded and unmoving. Perhaps they themselves didn’t even know what to do next. This was within the borders of Great Xia, their homeland—one they hadn’t dared to think about in a long time.

The man, observing Feng Yuan, seemed lost in thought. Though Feng Yuan was wearing a Ritual Robe, it was clear from his appearance that he was fairly young. She... she should be about the same age as him, right? Was she still resenting him? Thinking about his unfulfilled mission, his emotions became a chaotic mix.

At this point, soldiers from Great Xia had arrived. Upon seeing Feng Yuan, they expressed no surprise. After all, they had long known that Feng Yuan would come to help. Besides, those two dragons that had appeared earlier, resembling Lorraine Tower—if someone told them Feng Yuan hadn’t summoned them, they would refuse to believe it. After all, such beings didn’t exist in any known records.

If they had truly appeared in the mortal realm before, how could no one have ever recorded their presence? Whether it was Shi or Xilnais, they both manifested in the form of dragons—one an Eastern Giant Dragon, the other a Western one. And in this world, no Spirit Beast in the form of a dragon could be considered weak.

Yet when their eyes fell upon those people, the soldiers were at a loss. Feng Yuan hadn’t restricted their movements, but judging by their uniforms, it was evident they were soldiers from an enemy nation. This...

"They... can be considered people who have contributed. Send communication to the higher-ups and have someone come over. Ordinary folks probably wouldn’t recognize them."

Seeing the soldiers’ uneasy expressions, Feng Yuan smiled faintly, as if understanding their thoughts. After all, even he couldn’t possibly know these people’s identities. He wasn’t so idle as to investigate them deliberately.

"Confirmed. They were all dispatched by Great Xia, especially..."

Swishing its tail, Agunas fixed its gaze on the middle-aged man, who stared blankly ahead, visibly shaken. Narrowing its eyes, Agunas said,

"Quine, indeed very suspicious. Their records are astonishingly vague."

Hearing Agunas’ words, Delong Tower was momentarily stunned. Vague records? How could that be? However, Feng Yuan, familiar with Agunas’ archival capabilities, rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said,

"But their Guardian Divine Beasts didn’t detect anything unusual?"

Divine Beasts had no reason to deliberately hide the entities they protected. For those capable of accessing such information, most were Divine Beasts themselves. And even if beings like Agunas could uncover the details, it rarely influenced much. After all, they wouldn’t misuse that knowledge.

So what, then, was obscuring Agunas’ view of these records? What was Quine planning?

"I don’t know. At least for now, the other side hasn’t revealed itself, and we have no clue about the specifics."

With a flick of its tail, Agunas couldn’t shake an ominous feeling. Technically, Divine Beasts shouldn’t be susceptible to human harm, but too many extraordinary incidents could open the door to all kinds of improbable outcomes.

"It... should be fine, right? Forget it. Regarding Quine, inform them to investigate the situation."

After some thought, Feng Yuan suggested to Agunas. Though the pitch-black Ancient Book might contain relevant information, he didn’t feel like looking it up. In any case, the matter would ultimately fall to Lorraine Tower and the others to resolve, so whether he intervened or not seemed inconsequential.

"Speaking of which, that man..."

Fixing his gaze on the middle-aged man with a peculiar expression, Agunas had noticed something unusual in his records while reviewing related archives. Perhaps this was why Xilnais had singled him out from the crowd?

"What is it?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas, perplexed. He didn’t understand what had happened. Meeting his eyes, Agunas said,

"He... is Dou Yanlan’s father."

"What?!"

Hearing Agunas’ revelation, the middle-aged man froze. Dou Yanlan? That seemed to be his daughter’s name. Could it be... But... remembering what he had done back then...

Running a hand through his hair, Feng Yuan looked equally troubled and said,

"So... what should we do now? Just send him over? That’s not possible either. His identity has likely been erased. Besides, deciding how to reintegrate him isn’t up to us."

After all, these were individuals sent on missions. Feng Yuan couldn’t simply declare his identity restored and expect it to be resolved. Whether for appearances or other reasons, such matters weren’t easily handled. Moreover, trusting him completely in a short span of time was impossible.

"Most importantly, how does she view this?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t particularly concerned about the man himself, but he wasn’t sure if Dou Yanlan would accept him. After all...

Amid their efforts, the Divine Beasts only managed to salvage around two-thirds of the energy. The remainder had been thoroughly polluted and could not be purified or restored. If integrated into the Earth Energy Circulation, it would only bring endless trouble. Thus, Lorraine Tower had no choice but to take the remaining energy with it—its Silver Tower being one of the tools designed to process such chaotic forces.

As for the people brought back, those from Great Xia were specifically assigned individuals to handle their return. Meanwhile, the enemy soldiers were temporarily detained near the border, awaiting negotiations. As for concerns about potential issues? Although Delong Tower had healed them somewhat during their capture, they had suffered severe injuries. Their future combat power was uncertain. Moreover, not all the Divine Beasts had departed. Gitalien remained alongside several others from the Divine Land Region, endlessly interrogating the captives.

Until the truth of the case was fully uncovered, it seemed they wouldn’t let these individuals go.

Back aboard the large vessel, Feng Yuan glanced at Dou Yanlan but hesitated to speak. He didn’t know how to broach the subject. After some thought, he decided it would be best to discuss it with Qi Chen first.
