Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 146: The Forgotten _1

The little boy sat alone on the grass, weaving wreaths out of wildflowers he had picked from the surroundings. Around the little boy lay numerous wreaths, some new, some old, and many already withered. Immersed in his craft, the boy placed each finished wreath beside him, then picked up more flowers to start another.

After a while, an elder walked over, seeming quite sentimental as he gazed upon the wreaths scattered on the ground. After speaking to the boy and looking around nostalgically, a gentle breeze began to blow, lifting countless petals into the air, obscuring everyone’s view. As the petals slowly fell back to the ground, both the little boy and the elder had vanished, leaving only a tombstone with a wreath hanging upon it.

Captain Yang hesitated briefly before instructing his men to approach the tombstone, but the closer they walked, the further it seemed to recede. Before long, the tombstone was out of sight, and darkness gradually enveloped the surroundings. Qi Xiaoshuang followed silently behind the White Wolf Deity, and Captain Yang sighed, leading his men onward. Along the way, they occasionally heard voices filled with disgust and disdain, male and female, old and young, interspersed with many bursts of clear loathing and angry roars.

Just as Feng Yuan was contemplating whether to set up a Crystal Barrier for sound isolation, a man dressed in linen with golden hair rushed out and ran headfirst into the Rune Stone Barrier surrounding the White Wolf Deity.

Listening to the man’s screams of agony, Feng Yuan said with some astonishment,

"This guy doesn’t seem to be an illusion."

Under Captain Yang’s warning gaze, Feng Yuan walked to the edge of the Barrier and pulled the man inside. Once within the Barrier, the man sat on the ground, looking up at them with a beaming smile and said,

"Thank you, ha~"

Looking at the golden-haired man, Feng Yuan asked suspiciously,

"How did you get here? This doesn’t seem to be where you live, right?"

"Well..."

Seeing the man stammering, Feng Yuan impatiently said,

"If you don’t want to talk, then forget it. You can go."

"Hey!"

"Don’t leave! I can’t get out of this strange place on my own!"

"Then you don’t say where you’re from."

Glancing at the dark-haired crowd, the golden-haired man hesitated and then said with some sadness,

"I don’t know how I got here either..."

"All I know is that at that moment, our Divine Lord of Feathers stirred up a great wind and sent us off, and when I woke up, I found myself in this area. If I had known it was going to get hotter and stranger here, I would have left earlier."

"Divine Lord of Feathers?"

Feng Yuan, frowning in confusion, looked at Drudgeon. In a puzzled tone, Drudgeon’s voice reached Feng Yuan’s ears,

"I have never heard any Divine Beasts referred to as the Divine Lord of Feathers."

Seeing everyone looking skeptically at him, the golden-haired man hastily defended himself,

"I’m really not lying! After being swept up by the Divine Lord of Feathers’ wind, I accidentally collided with Gluta and passed out. I don’t know what happened after that. When I awoke, I found myself in this area!"

"Gluta?"

"Another name for the Homing Bird in this period."

Hearing Drudgeon’s explanation, and recalling Drudgeon’s own title as Cat God, Feng Yuan struggled to hold back a laugh and said,

"Colliding with the Homing Bird; you’re quite lucky. The Homing Bird is not something you see often, is it?"

"Wait... Homing Bird?!"

As Feng Yuan spoke, he seemed to recall something,

"No wonder you ended up here."

"Is there a problem?"

Looking puzzled, Qi Chen gazed at Feng Yuan, who lifted his left hand and pointed to the feather on his bracelet as he said to Qi Chen,

"Don’t forget about it. That creature is known for darting across continents; I wouldn’t be surprised if it suddenly went from the Omeilia Region to the Divine Land Region the next second, inadvertently bringing along anything it touched during its travels."

"Hanaesis?!"

Qi Chen said with some surprise, and Feng Yuan nodded,

"It should be Hanaesis. Its movements have always been mysterious, more so than spatial teleportation. I wouldn’t find it strange at all for it to jump directly from the Omeilia Region to the Divine Land Region in one moment."

"But why would Hanaesis intentionally carry someone over here?"

"It didn’t carry; Hanaesis’ mobility is quite peculiar. It’s possible that one second it was still in the Omeilia Region and the next in the Divine Land Region. Anything that comes into contact with Hanaesis during its movement could be inadvertently brought along, and that’s probably what happened to him."

"Mysterious alchemist."

"What?"

Upon hearing Dou Yanlan suddenly speak up, Feng Yuan looked at her with some confusion. Dou Yanlan reminded,

"The mysterious alchemist mentioned in the records, could it be him?"

Feng Yuan recalled for a moment, then looked at the golden-haired man with some surprise and said

"I didn’t expect you to be an important figure."

"What important figure? I don’t know anything about that."

The golden-haired man scratched his head in confusion as he looked at the others. Captain Yang glanced at the golden-haired man and commanded everyone to move forward. Seeing that Captain Yang, who seemed to be the leader, apparently wanted to leave him behind, the golden-haired man gritted his teeth and hurriedly shouted out

"Wait! If you protect me, I can teach you the Divine Descent Technique!"

"Divine Descent Technique?"

Feng Yuan looked at Drudgeon with some confusion, as Drudgeon wobbled his round body, and the calm voice of Drudgeon resounded in Feng Yuan’s ears

"I have no records of this, it doesn’t belong to the lost knowledge."

"But I don’t remember seeing this thing..."

"What’s this Divine Descent Technique used for?"

Feng Yuan looked at the golden-haired man with some suspicion, and the golden-haired man said somewhat proudly

"This is a technique our Lord of Feathers specially created to protect us~"

"Divine Descent Technique allows the power of the Divine Lord to be preserved in special garments, so you can use the Divine Lord’s power without being by their side~"

"Is that just power infusion? I thought it was something special."

Feng Yuan said dismissively. The golden-haired man jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on and excitedly pointed at Feng Yuan, saying

"What power infusion technique! How could our Lord of Feathers come up with something so superficial!"

"Divine Descent Technique is about directly using the Divine Lord’s power! It’s nothing like those swine infusion techniques!"

"Had it not been for a slip-up..."

The golden-haired man said with a somber tone, while Feng Yuan, who seemed to have thought of something, said with some astonishment

"Borrowing? Are you sure you didn’t misspeak?"

"As long as you promise to protect me and take me back to my tribe, I can teach you the Divine Descent Technique."

"Forget it, I guess your so-called Divine Descent Technique is forbidden knowledge, no wonder Drudgeon doesn’t know about it."

"Forbidden knowledge?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise, and at that moment, the calm voice of Drudgeon came through

"It’s unlikely to be forbidden knowledge, it’s just that it hasn’t been lost during this period."

"Ah, I forgot, your knowledge is from this period, so you’re not aware of knowledge lost later."

"Are you going to agree or not!"

The golden-haired man pretended to be impatient and said, while Feng Yuan shook his head and replied

"No, we can’t agree to your request; not only is it something we cannot achieve, but even if we could, the cost would not be small."

"Cost?"

"Alright, Drudgeon, cast a protection on him and let’s leave him here; we need to get things done quickly."

"Aren’t you going to help him?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan with some puzzlement, to which Feng Yuan shook his head and said

"Don’t forget, he is someone with clear historical records; if we send him back, what happens to the historical records? We don’t want to cause any more troubles."

"Moreover, so-called Divine Descent Technique isn’t that useful; the contracts we have are enough, whether gods descend or not doesn’t matter."

The golden-haired man said somewhat dejectedly from the side

"Does this mean I never managed to successfully return to my tribe in the future..."

"Huh?"

"Am I going to spend a lifetime here..."

"Was Divine Descent Technique really not recorded in the future..."

Feng Yuan looked at the golden-haired man, who was murmuring to himself, with some surprise. Yang Hongzhi laughed it off and said

"How could we possibly know your future, what are you even talking about."
