Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The Thing Guarded_1

"This is..."

Even without asking, Feng Yuan could roughly guess what it was that Karnas was guarding. After observing the figure covered in cracks, Feng Yuan said softly,

"I need to negotiate with It."

"What are you going to do!"

The shadowy tail of Agunas shot up as it asked sharply. After glancing at the shadow of Agunas, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"I just hope there isn’t too much sadness in front of me, at least... I hope they can have a better ending..."

With that said, Feng Yuan ignored the shadow of Agunas and swung the ancient book in his hand fiercely. Chains once again pierced through heaven and earth. Karnas, somewhat puzzled, looked at the world where time had stopped. After a moment, Karnas stood there in a daze.

The familiar orb of light appeared again, and even the rocks above Feng Yuan’s head couldn’t prevent Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji from "seeing" the orb. To the orb, those obstacles were as if non-existent.

"I can only be self-interested and trouble you again~"

Feng Yuan revealed a smile and slowly closed his eyes towards the orb. The shadowy tail of Agunas flicked back and forth as if it was worried, while Xiao Ji and the Little Green Snake watched Feng Yuan nervously. After a while, Feng Yuan revealed a relieved smile and said,

"Thank you~"

A rune circle suddenly spread out from the orb, quickly sweeping over the entire world, and then the orb gradually disappeared. Everything around seemed to rewind like a film, from the construction of this hideout, gradually reversing to the point where Karnas was instructing the Carnases to build this hiding place.

The rocks piled up by them were gradually removed in the reversed time, and the rocks on top reverted back into a dense cloud of smoke, returning to the fire.

As time reversed, Feng Yuan also understood why there was so much vegetation here. The Carnases repeatedly moved the petrified plants and planted new ones, making it seem as if this place was unaffected by Karnas.

Although essentially of Earth Attribute, the Carnases developed the ability to cultivate Spirit Plants due to this.

As the hiding place gradually returned to its initial state of construction, Karnas suddenly became very excited. After a while, as the hideout was ’dismantled’, only the figure remained standing alone. Karnas took hesitant steps forward and carefully embraced the other as the figure turned back into a human.

At that moment, the reversal of time stopped, and the young man held by Karnas excitedly said something to Karnas. However, at that time, Karnas firmly pushed the young man, who ignored the flecks of ore falling from himself and anxiously shouted at Karnas.

Seeing the figures appearing in the distance, the young man pounded on Karnas’s body with force. Feng Yuan reached out to stop him and said,

"Your problem is more serious; let’s resolve your issue first."

The young man couldn’t understand Feng Yuan’s words and just looked at Feng Yuan in confusion as he spoke incomprehensible words. Karnas gave the young man a look, seemingly indicating that Feng Yuan could be trusted.

At that moment, those figures ran over. Seeing them pick up their spears and longbows, ready to attack Karnas, Feng Yuan said contemptuously,

"Ignorance!"

With Feng Yuan’s words, a scarlet barrier appeared between the group of people and Karnas. Feng Yuan glanced at Karnas and said,

"Drive them away!"

After looking at the young man, Karnas did not act. Feng Yuan took a step forward, a crimson halberd gathering in his hands. The halberd emitted waves of malevolence, frenzy, and bloodlust. At this moment, Feng Yuan, though clad in a sacred Ritual Robe, did not resemble a devout and benevolent priest, but rather like a demonic deity.

The Ritual Robe fluttered in the wind. Pointing the halberd at the frightened crowd, Feng Yuan said,

"If you don’t drive them away, I’ll send them ’away’ directly!"

Understanding that Feng Yuan’s notion of "away" was nothing pleasant, Karnas hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and slammed his hands into the ground. Sharp stone pillars erupted from the earth, frightening the group. As they trembled in fear, Karnas pointed at the crowd, and their weapons were rapidly petrified.

Those people screamed, tossing away their weapons, and with one last reluctant look at Karnas, turned and fled in a panic. Karnas looked at the youth with a guilty gaze, and the young man, enduring the pain, patted Karnas gently, seemingly to comfort him.

Feng Yuan glanced at the young man, now affected by petrification. After a moment’s thought, he waved his hand, and silver Purifying Rain slowly fell. The rain washed away the dirt and ore on the young man’s body.

"What is this?"

The shadow of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise. It could actually sense the power of time in it, but apart from that, there must be other powers at play. It could not recognize what this move was.

"Purifying Rain, my unique move~"

The shadow of Agunas silently stared at Feng Yuan and said,

"You’re not a Divine Beast, where did you get such a unique skill..."

"Hehe~"

Feng Yuan, with a proud smile, swung his long halberd, making the silver light rain denser. Although Karnas hated rain, it still clung to the boy’s hand, fearing that releasing it would make the youth disappear from its sight.

Understanding that the rain could heal its petrification, the youth didn’t leave the range of the light rain, gently pushed Karnas’s hand, and whispered something, seemingly to comfort Karnas.

After a long while, the silver light rain vanished, Karnas waved its hand at the youth as if to say goodbye. Moments later, everything around them began to speed up. Feng Yuan touched Xiao Ji’s head, which had leaned over, and quietly watched it all. A long time passed before everything returned to normal. Seeing Karnas standing there stunned, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"At least its wish has been fulfilled~"

"Are you... alright?"

Feng Yuan glanced at the shadow of Agunas and replied with a slight smile,

"Do I look like there’s something wrong with me?"

"It is trying to make amends to them..."

"Why didn’t it do this earlier?"

The shadow of Agunas said puzzledly, not understanding why it was questioning, considering how devout it was.

"Because It cannot directly intervene; that is both the rule and protection."

"Only when bound by certain emotions can It avoid falling into excessive rationality."

"If everything were already arranged, do you think this world would be alive or dead?"

"This..."

The shadow of Agunas shook its tail, appearing to have realized something, yet seeming to understand nothing at all.

After a long time, Karnas digested the sudden surge of memories, showing a warm smile on its face, and extended its huge arms slightly as if embracing something.

Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said to Karnas,

"The wish has been fulfilled, get ready to set off~"

"Where do you plan to go?"

In response to Feng Yuan’s question, Karnas hesitated, then called out to the shadow of Agunas a few times, shaking its tail. To Feng Yuan’s surprise, the shadow of Agunas began to converse with Karnas. After a while, the shadow of Agunas said to Feng Yuan,

"It wants to wait a bit longer."

"It’s not that it doesn’t want to leave, is it? I won’t stay here forever; if it doesn’t want to leave, then I’ll go on without it."

"No, it wants to..."

Before the shadow of Agunas could finish speaking, an angry roar from Carnas came from outside. As the roar continued, Feng Yuan and the others hurriedly rushed out of their hiding place.

"How did they arrive so quickly?"

Feng Yuan looked at the group of soldiers with surprise, noticing a few Carnases that seemed out of place. Feng Yuan’s expression changed as he said to Xiao Ji,

"Xiao Ji! Go take care of those Carnases with the red patterns!"

"Little Green Snake, don’t go over there!"

Little Green Snake, puzzled, looked at Feng Yuan, who was fixated on the soldiers, and said,

"You take on those soldiers, remember to stay away from the Carnases with red patterns."

"They seem to have gone berserk. You’re not like Xiao Ji, petrification from Carnas has no effect on Xiao Ji, but it does on you."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Little Green Snake dodged the red-patterned Carnases and swiftly slithered towards the group of soldiers.
