Chapter 1394 - 1395: Unexpected Loop

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1395: Unexpected Loop

At an unknown time, the sky had already completely darkened. Yang Hongzhi took out his phone to check the time and found that only a few minutes had passed. With a grave expression, he said,

"This phenomenon isn’t right, a major disaster might be coming. How about we head to the villa to take shelter?"

"I think we best not act rashly for now."

Dou Yanlan took out her phone and noticed a special symbol on the signal. Her gaze tightened as she whispered. At that moment, a few Ghost Series Spirit Beasts floated over. Just as Xiao Hei adopted a combat-ready stance, the Ghost Series Spirit Beast called out curiously. Upon seeing the inviting actions of the Ghost Series Spirit Beast, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said,

"Thank you for your kindness. We’ve been separated from our friends and are waiting for them here."

The Ghost Series Spirit Beast looked at Dou Yanlan in confusion, seemingly unable to understand her words. Thankfully, Cotton could translate, and after some communication, the Ghost Series Spirit Beast, noticing the White Shadow Wolf pack standing to the side, did not press further. Qi Chen, looking puzzled at Dou Yanlan, asked,

"Why aren’t we following them to the villa?"

"Check whether your phone has a signal."

Dou Yanlan did not explain further, confident that he would understand. Yang Hongzhi then noticed that his phone was displaying a no signal icon. He was momentarily unable to react to what was happening, but Qi Chen, having frequently encountered similar situations with Feng Yuan, was stunned and said in disbelief,

"Time travel again?"

"Uncertain, but very possible. Don’t you think it’s strange? The Ghost Series Spirit Beasts are way too friendly to us."

"This... indeed."

It had to be admitted that the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts of the modern era were rarely amicable, even to Long Boduo, let alone to them. Could it be that they’ve traveled back to ancient times? But what period is this now?

"I believe we are at the time of the first or second storm. Based on what Feng Yuan said, I guess it’s the first storm, the one where the Verlun patriarch sacrificed himself."

Dou Yanlan pondered for a moment, chin in hand, and explained upon seeing Qi Chen’s lack of understanding,

"Did you forget? This was the last place that patriarch lived before passing away. After that, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts occupied here. If it were the time of the second storm, these Ghost Series Spirit Beasts shouldn’t be this warm."

"That’s not entirely true. Between the first and second storms, the Verlun family sent people to maintain a research post here. They frequently entered and exited the villa until the time of the Guard War, when they stopped."

Feng Yuan emerged from the twisted Gate of Light, saying, as Xiao Ji rushed over frantically, bumping into Feng Yuan. Gently petting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"You, why the hurry?"

Xiao Ji rubbed against Feng Yuan, letting out a small sound. At the time of Dou Yanlan and the others’ sudden disappearance, it was quite startled. Luckily, Feng Yuan did not disappear like them.

Agunas glanced at the sky with a grim expression and said,

"Why another time loop? What exactly is Lorraine Tower doing?"

"This appears to be a reverse time loop. This means we actually can’t interfere with matters here."

Looking around, Feng Yuan seemed to realize something and said helplessly, prompting Qi Chen to look at him puzzled and ask,

"What’s a reverse time loop?"

"A normal time loop starts at the present, meaning it’s set at a real time point, looping backward from that point. A reverse time loop is quite special."

Saying this, Feng Yuan stroked his chin and continued,

"For example, creating a time loop in the present that involves the future is a reverse time loop. To resolve this time loop, we can’t wait too long between occurrences. Otherwise, the starting point becomes part of history, and it becomes enormously challenging to amend."

"Normally, a reverse time loop wouldn’t naturally occur. You know why: the future isn’t defined, making it almost impossible to connect the present with the future. Who knows what happened then, causing this place to be linked with an uncertain future."

Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly, glancing at Agunas and said,

"Thankfully, this loop is just a phenomenon. Otherwise, it would be troublesome, as it would directly determine the future from the past. Whatever, let’s not concern ourselves with this. Let’s head back."

With that, Feng Yuan turned, picked up Xiao Ji, who did not resist, and led the group through the twisted Space Gate back to the present. Seeing the heavy clouds in the sky, Najia softly said,

"The storm’s arrival is unavoidable. Even if we stopped other possibilities, a stronger force would correct it."

At this point, not only Najia but everyone present understood that the emergence of Storm Monta in this region was no coincidence. Belusir sighed quietly,

"This... is exactly like when I tried to change fate..."

"Pretty much. Trying to alter results from the beginning might lead to unforeseen outcomes one didn’t want to see. However, this time loop can’t be destroyed, meaning the storm will inevitably strike Wilt Bay."

Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly, admitting that though all preparations were made, this was truly unexpected. Who could have predicted from the start that this storm was due to a reverse time loop?

Even after they avoided nearly all surprises, time in this area twisted and overlapped, extending the past storm here. Looking at Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Luckily, we should be thankful that this reverse time loop only concerns the storm itself. Regarding damage, it isn’t part of the reverse time loop, meaning we can still find ways to prevent the storm from damaging Wilt Bay."

With so many Divine Beasts around, Feng Yuan felt little pressure safeguarding Wilt Bay, unless another time loop determined Wilt Bay would be destroyed—which seemed unlikely.

"But aren’t time loops dependent on a unique point of traversed time as a basis? What is this time loop using as a basis?"

Thinking of something, Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly and asked. Pointing towards where Storm Monta was located, Feng Yuan said,

"It’s those, their storm is the initial starting point of this time loop. The time distortion incident in ’modern’ Wilt Bay linked the ’future’ and ’present’, resulting in the storm occurring in both time points simultaneously."

"Fortunately, the reliant substance is a storm. Otherwise, it would be difficult, because such a reverse time loop can’t be cracked."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said helplessly, not to mention if he insisted on protecting the Verlun patriarch; who knows what the future would turn into? Wilt Bay might directly disappear—history should not be altered casually unless the loop was originally a modification of the past from the present, in which case, changes made wouldn’t have significant ramifications."

"Let’s return to Vitter Town first. As for Ghost Island this..."

"I’ll guard here. Feng Yuan, will you assist?"

Long Boduo immediately agreed, looking at Feng Yuan and asking. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and the others, saying,

"Over there, can you handle it? This storm traversed time, its power influenced by distorted time, unpredictable how strong it might be, and perhaps even causing issues there."

"Do you mean..."

Agunas was taken aback, recalling something and looking at Feng Yuan, who sighed and said,

"If we successfully block the storm here, it could lead to unexpected situations over there, causing the storm’s force to rebound into the past, damaging history."

"This..."

"Let the White Wolf Deity go over first to oversee. Agunas, could you ask if Lorraine Tower is free? Although we’re unsure if it has anything to do with this, we might as well pull it in."

Displaying a sly smile, Feng Yuan suggested. As for whether Lorraine Tower could come? It has a partner, Gitalien, capable of opening Space Gates. Getting Gitalien to open a gate shouldn’t be too troublesome.

Waving its tail, Agunas had to admit that Feng Yuan’s concern might indeed occur. In that case, involving a time-related Divine Beast ensuring history doesn’t deviate too much might be necessary.
