Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Return_1

"Now the White Wolf Deity can’t help..."

Back at the dorm, Feng Yuan looked at the Wolf Tooth necklace, its light gradually dimming, and said somewhat helplessly. Since Feng Yuan still couldn’t utilize the Power of Death, he had to leave the White Wolf Deity in that timespace to sustain his avatar. Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after sensing his avatar and said,

"The passage of time isn’t as fast now."

"After all, when you were over there, most of Its power was concentrated there to avoid an irreversible catastrophe in reality. It would definitely slow down the passage of time here temporarily."

"But why does It insist on doing this... Such actions ultimately carry great risks. It’s not easy being a Time Opener."

"I don’t know, I can’t guess Its thoughts."

"You’re back?"

Qi Chen wiped his head as he came out of the bathroom, glanced at Feng Yuan, and suddenly sensing something was off, he stared at Feng Yuan in surprise and said,

"What’s with your hair?"

Confused, he touched his hair but didn’t find anything strange, Feng Yuan said, puzzled,

"What’s wrong?"

"Why has your hair grown longer?"

"Has it?"

"Yes, it’s not like it’s grown from short to long, but it’s much longer than when you left."

Qi Chen said as he put on a coat and looked at Feng Yuan,

"What exactly happened to you?"

Seeing Qi Chen somewhat concerned, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"After all, I stayed in the Great Li Dynasty for a month, so it’s normal for my hair to grow longer, especially since short hair wasn’t really in fashion back then, was it?"

"The Great Li Dynasty? A month? What were you doing there?"

"Just helping It with some tasks. Do you want to come too?"

Agunas glared at Feng Yuan from the side and said,

"He doesn’t have the ability to wander detached from spacetime! If you take him back with you and he gets stuck there, unable to return, what do you plan to do?"

"This..."

Being stared at with a warning look by Agunas, Feng Yuan had a solution, but under Agunas’s watchful eyes, he couldn’t speak it out. Agunas turned to Qi Chen and said,

"Don’t listen to his nonsense. You know his solution doesn’t even need to be mentioned; it would definitely cause a severe collapse of spacetime, and naturally, you would be able to separate from it."

Although Qi Chen didn’t quite understand what Agunas meant, he felt an inexplicable sense of panic. Seeing Qi Chen’s reaction, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"It seems like something similar has happened in this world before..."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said coldly,

"Haven’t you seen the fall of the Mythical Era?"

"Uh, I just saw that I couldn’t return from the Mythical Era, so I didn’t bother watching the rest. After all, you know it’s too much trouble to watch everything."

"At the end of the Mythical Era, spacetime collapsed, and the entire Mythical Era has become something recorded, neither real nor unreal."

Looking at his own little paws with a complicated expression, Agunas sat on the bed, while Feng Yuan looked at the ceiling and said,

"So that’s how it is..."

After a while, Feng Yuan got up to get some clothes. As he passed by Qi Chen, he took a special glance at him and noticed Qi Chen lying on the bed looking at his textbook. Feng Yuan walked into the bathroom feeling resigned.

"Aren’t you even a little curious?"

Sitting on the bed after his shower, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen expectantly. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said, while still reading his textbook,

"If you can’t hold it in, just spill it."

"I..."

After a while, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Aren’t you really curious about what I was doing in the Great Li Dynasty?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen said in a tone devoid of emotion,

"Oh wow, I’m so looking forward to it. Go ahead and tell me."

"Ugh... not a trace of sincerity..."

Seeing Qi Chen’s reaction, Feng Yuan felt somewhat disappointed, but he still couldn’t help but briefly recount the events that had occurred within the Great Li Dynasty. After hearing what Feng Yuan said, Qi Chen asked,

"So you ran off to become a court advisor in the Great Li Dynasty?"

"What court advisor? Those are Mo Li’s own affairs."

"Then what exactly did you go there to do? Don’t tell me it was just to save people."

"It’s not that, but there were some things that He couldn’t directly hand over to him, and there were some matters that couldn’t be directly discussed with him, especially during that period when the Divine Beasts hadn’t yet extensively meddled in human affairs."

After recalling for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"During that period, Divine Pact Makers mostly used the power of the Divine Beasts to guard themselves. It was only later, for some unknown reason, that they got more deeply entangled, up until the recent Divine Beast War..."

"If you’re going back to the era of the Divine Beast War, I might actually like to take a look."

"I doubt it will happen. During the Divine Beast War, not to mention ordinary people, even the Beastmasters with Sacred Beast protection couldn’t be sure if the next second a Divine Beast would appear and attack their city."

"However, if it hadn’t been for the Divine Beast War, the Divine Beasts wouldn’t have gradually distanced themselves from humanity."

Qi Chen glanced over at Feng Yuan and said,

"Distanced themselves from humanity?"

Feeling Qi Chen’s gaze, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"I’m an isolated case, okay!"

"What about Wu Feng?"

"The Vermilion Bird needs someone to help it connect with human society. Besides, the Five Spirit Divine Beasts are already too deeply involved with human society. Even if they wanted to distance themselves, they wouldn’t really sever all contact."

"However, I reckon the remaining three Spirits are all likely to emerge soon..."

"How so?"

Qi Chen sat up and looked at Feng Yuan. More than Feng Yuan’s strange ventures, Qi Chen was more concerned about any unfavorable changes that might occur in reality. Stroking Xiao Ji, who had scurried into his arms, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"The White Wolf Deity was left in the Great Li Dynasty, Gitalien is heading to the ruins of Odinis, Emperor Savidi is still busy dealing with the chaos in the Dream Domain, as is Anernia, Arnis is currently recuperating, Ernis is preoccupied with dealing with the Black Towers, and unwittingly, quite a few Divine Beasts have been tied down."

"What does this have to do with the three Spirits?"

"War is about to restart, and with so many missing from here, it’s very possible that the top-tier Divine Beasts won’t be able to care about the affairs of reality anymore. The Five Spirits, being Divine Beasts that are heavily involved with humans, would be better suited to handle negotiations involving matters of the real world."

"Negotiations?"

Qi Chen, not understanding, looked at Feng Yuan who, after glancing at Agunas, said calmly,

"That’s right. If anything major happens again, brace for the possibility that no Divine Beasts will intervene."

"Don’t get agitated. You can’t deny that if it weren’t for Emperor Savidi’s suppression, the Nightmare incident might have spread to other regions already. The same goes for the Yognot incident where without the White Wolf Deity or Lorraine Tower, it wouldn’t have been resolvable."

"I wonder when the Nightmare incident will come to an end..."

Qi Chen sighed. Although Anernia had begun assisting in combating the Nightmare incident, it was still ongoing, and only the time needed to rescue those trapped in the Dream Domain had been reduced.

"That’s unclear. Lorraine Tower has already departed, and once Gitalien completes investigations in Odinis, it will leave as well. After that, the Divine Land Region will have no Guardian Gods."

Agunas, who was nearby, rolled its eyes after hearing Feng Yuan’s words. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, resignedly saying,

"That’s for them to worry about. But what’s Gitalien doing in Odinis? Didn’t the continent of Odinis already sink into the Sea of Stars?"

"It’s investigating the mastermind behind the Nightmare incident, as clues point towards Odinis. However, I don’t believe much useful information will be found there."

"By the way, have the countries in Omeilia taken any action against the Black Towers?"

"Not yet. It seems they’re planning to watch Ernis’s show."

Qi Chen said speechlessly, and Feng Yuan scoffed,

"Ernis isn’t some Divine Beast with a good temper. Aren’t they afraid of their scheme backfiring by playing this game?"

"Who knows how those big shots think."

"Could it be they believe Ernis must deal with the Black Towers..."

The next day, seeing Guo Huai arrive in class with dark circles under his eyes, Feng Yuan walked up and asked with curiosity,

"What happened to you? With Anernia’s help at the special service team, you shouldn’t need to stay up all night, right?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with a somewhat complex expression.
