Chapter 665: Chapter 666 Cleaning Up the Mess_1

"What on earth is happening?"

Xiao An and the boy clung to the windowsill, astonished at the bizarre weather outside. A drastic change would have been one thing, but at that moment, the sky was a jumble of chaos, with some areas cloaked in dense clouds pouring rain and others bathed in glorious sunshine that bordered on scorching heat. Mist and lightning coexisted as torrential rains and sandstorms alternated their appearance.

Looking down at the city below, a thin mist revealed people in a state of panic, rushing from outside towards the city. A yellow-brownish barrier protected the city with a firm grasp, but even so, the occasional lightning that struck the barrier caused it to flicker and fade.

"Is this the apocalypse..."

The boy’s face turned deathly pale as the city’s bells rang out an alarm of the highest order. Adventurers instinctively let their partners unleash their ultimate moves outside the barrier to obliterate the lightning targeting it, even though theoretically, such lightning shouldn’t pose a significant threat to the people inside the buildings.

But that referred to naturally occurring lightning. Given the scene resembling the apocalypse, no one believed the lightning was of natural origin.

"What exactly are you all doing..."

An ethereal, ancient voice came through, causing everyone to startle. Feng Yuan scratched his head and gazed at Delong Tower, saying

"What happened? The owner of that voice should be Arnis, right?"

Delong Tower squinted towards Nien Wheel and said

"The signs in the sky are all messed up."

"Is this mess caused by Nien Wheel?"

Feng Yuan glanced at the rust-covered Nien Wheel. As a relic from the Mythical Era, he wasn’t particularly clear about the workings of the Nien Wheel, just aware of its existence.

"Probably."

Delong Tower pondered for a moment and let out a long cry. In the sky, a Spirit Deer clad in magic rock armor covered with moss furrowed its brow upon hearing that cry. After a while, the ethereal, ancient voice spoke again

"Can you bring that thing out first?"

"I’m afraid that’s not possible."

Though Feng Yuan was not particularly familiar with the intricacies of Nien Wheel, he knew in theory it could be moved, only...

He glanced at the metal behemoth, uncertain what might happen if they tried moving the Nien Wheel. After thinking, Feng Yuan said to Delong Tower

"Get Ernis here, this kind of mechanical creation falls exactly within its domain of authority."

"Lucky it’s in Omeilia~"

Feng Yuan said with an odd expression, acknowledging that if it were on another continent, dealing with it would be considerably more troublesome. In Omeilia, both twin gods Ernis and Arnis had authority over creations. Even if the relic dated back to the Mythical Era, they could perfectly unravel its mechanisms.

Agunas’s phantom glanced at Feng Yuan and said

"Wouldn’t it be possible to just destroy the Nien Wheel?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas’s phantom as if reminded of something and clapped his hands, saying

"I would have forgotten if you hadn’t spoken up. Can we just destroy the Nien Wheel?"

Agunas’s phantom appeared puzzled, and Feng Yuan pointed at the Nien Wheel, saying

"If we destroy it, could there be some kind of self-destruction mechanism in response? For instance, if it detects the Nien Wheel has been damaged, it might self-destruct, turning this region into a void or something?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Guo Huai and the others were taken aback. Agunas’s phantom thought for a moment and said

"I can’t guarantee there isn’t any. The possibility you mentioned is fairly significant."

"They did love to devise such self-destructive protective measures back then."

"That’s just too much!"

Guo Huai shouted discontentedly, and Feng Yuan glanced his way, remarking

"Isn’t that quite normal? It was the Mythical Era, after all, where life was the cheapest commodity."

Agunas’s phantom, born in the Mythical Era, hung its head and swished its tail without contradicting Feng Yuan, for it knew the truth was even more brutal than what had been said.

After a while, Ernis’s figure appeared above the ruins, looking displeased at the metal structure unearthed by Arnis. Ernis started to dismantle the metal walls with a howl.

Looking disdainfully at the group of adventurers who gazed up at him with gratitude, Ernis slowly broke down the metallic structure’s walls and mechanisms. Seeing the chaotic sky overhead, the adventurers expressed their thanks to Ernis once more before quickly fleeing towards the city.

"Fix it? It isn’t impossible, but it’d be quite a hassle."

Hearing Liu Wenli’s suggestion, Feng Yuan pondered and objected, while Hua Yiyou expressed her bewilderment, saying

"If we fix the Nien Wheel, wouldn’t that resolve the chaotic weather issue we have now?"

"The question is, how do we fix it? I don’t understand how this thing works. Surely we can’t summon Him for such a trivial matter?"

"You actually don’t know how to repair it?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with surprise and snorted discontentedly,

"What’s so strange about that? I don’t know everything."

"Really?"

"Not understanding the structure is merely an inconvenience?"

Liu Wenli stared at Feng Yuan curiously. This didn’t seem to make sense logically. Shruging his shoulders, Feng Yuan said,

"Time reversal, right? Just restore it to the state it was in before it was destroyed. It’s just that time reversal involves a lot of things, not ideal for fixing the Nien Wheel..."

"You’ll be scolded to death by Lorraine Tower."

The phantom of Agunas said calmly. At that moment, the metal walls above suddenly disintegrated and flew into the sky, allowing rays of sunlight to stream through the gaps.

"Is it coming?"

Feng Yuan looked at Ernis, who had shrunk in size and was slowly stepping through the air towards them. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Ernis eyed the rust-covered Nien Wheel and said,

"Is this thing the cause of the trouble?"

"Yes, I don’t know if there’s any self-destruct mechanism linked to it, so I haven’t destroyed it completely."

Ernis gazed at the Nien Wheel in silence for a long while before saying,

"Your guess was right. At least, when the Nien Wheel itself suffers fatal damage, it will release a force not weaker than us using our full strength."

"As expected..."

"Can you solve it?"

Instead of answering Feng Yuan, Ernis looked up at the sky, where Arnis had also flown down and, looking at the Nien Wheel, said,

"You’d better leave first. Although the danger is not great, he might not be able to protect you all."

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan floated back a short distance, while the White Wolf Deity stepped on continuously appearing ice chunks that floated in the air and jumped upwards. Seeing that Feng Yuan didn’t follow, Mo Ling said with some concern,

"Isn’t he coming with us?"

"Don’t worry about his safety, and isn’t Delong Tower still next to him?"

"But..."

"Trust him, he’s not a fool."

Yao Yin said with some amusement. She was aware of Feng Yuan’s terrifying strength; if he were in danger, likely, Ernis and Arnis wouldn’t fare any better.

But those two Divine Beasts clearly were not worried about safety. They were just concerned that the White Wolf Deity might not be able to protect Mo Li and the others.

"Why does it feel like you’re defusing a bomb?"

Feng Yuan watched Ernis and Arnis with some amusement as they carefully worked. Xiao Ji peered out from Feng Yuan’s embrace, carefully observing Ernis and Arnis, who were focusing on dismantling the Nien Wheel with unrestrained power, experiencing for the first time the gap between Divine Beasts.

Looking at its tiny body, Xiao Ji once again felt the desire to grow stronger swiftly. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan looked towards the Nien Wheel and said,

"Didn’t expect this thing to cause such a huge impact when out of control."

"And it’s not even a weapon~"

At that moment, the Divine Sense that Feng Yuan released clearly sensed the surroundings. By now, there were hardly any people around, the White Wolf Deity stood under the Barrier, allowing the sandstorm and lightning to attack it without concern. The city in the distance was in peril amid the chaotic weather, what were once normal extreme weather conditions now seemed like the Offensive Ultimate Moves of Spirit Beasts, continuously destroying everything around.

"This is truly troublesome..."

Seeing places like forests and swamps devastated, Feng Yuan said with a headache. Xiao Ji raised its head and chirped at Feng Yuan, seemingly not understanding what Feng Yuan was troubled about. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"It’s all the mischief of the Nien Wheel, the surrounding environment has been destroyed."

"Can’t the power of Nagna restore it?"

The phantom of Agunas flicked its tail, seemingly puzzled. Feng Yuan looked at the phantom of Agunas, about to say something but then hesitated, when Arnis spoke up,

"Nagna is a life deity of the Divine Land Region and cannot exercise its authority in Omeilia."

"That’s right... The Omeilia Region originally has its own life deity..."

"No worries, I’ll just summon it later."

Arnis said nonchalantly.
