Chapter 751: Chapter 752 New Home_1

"If Ernis really competes, will you also take part?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some curiosity. Although this guy was not a Divine Pact Maker, it wouldn’t be difficult to impersonate one, especially if the Divine Beasts were to help conceal his identity.

After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"It depends. If it’s not necessary, I don’t think I would participate. If two Guardian Divine Beasts start fighting, I fear the arena itself would be doomed."

Recalling the inexplicable war that broke out between Delong Tower and Ernis, Agunas shivered. That was indeed a big problem, especially since he had also asked why they had started fighting, but got no answer.

"They would probably hold back their power, right?"

Qi Chen asked with some doubt, referring to how previous competing Divine Beasts had restrained their strength in battle. Otherwise, with their power, anyone in the arena, aside from Beastmasters with Legendary Level or higher beasts, would be injured by the aftershocks of their fight.

"Not necessarily. At least back then, Delong Tower and Ernis were truly not holding back at all. If it weren’t for the special circumstances at the time, allowing me to immediately transport them to the Starry Sky, I’m afraid Omeilia would now be considerably smaller."

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly. In this world, there were no Divine Beasts with dominion over the land. So once destroyed, unless They intervened directly, there was no way to restore the damaged continents.

He could not guarantee that other Divine Beasts would hold back their power against Ernis, especially since the Guardian Divine Beasts he could summon were few. Lorraine Tower was one, but he definitely dared not bring Delong Tower over. Otherwise, another destructive impact would occur, and he wouldn’t have the power to transport them to the Starry Sky.

Lorraine Tower and Gitalien weren’t much better off. If they really went all out, with one governing time and the other space, heaven only knows what kind of ultimate moves they might unleash. It would be fortunate if they didn’t collapse the arena’s space itself.

As he thought this and saw the car reaching the station, Qi Chen tugged at Feng Yuan,

"Let’s go, we’ve arrived."

"Oh, oh?"

Feng Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and, looking through the car window at the vast vacant lot across the street, was astonished. This was not the outskirts of the city; the skyscrapers in the distance were proof that this was the most bustling part of Maomu City’s East City District.

"They’ve cleared out such a huge piece of land here? What were they thinking?"

Feng Yuan couldn’t understand it. Even if they were making preparations for their own people, there was no need to do this. They could simply have carved out a new city district outside the current city range and established comprehensive infrastructure there, instead of clearing such a large dormitory area in the most expensive East City District.

"Not sure."

Qi Chen, anxious to see his mother, answered absently. Seeing Captain Chen passing by, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen, slipped away, and grabbed Captain Chen to ask,

"What’s going on here?"

"Who?!"

Startled by being suddenly grabbed, Captain Chen turned around defensively. Recognizing it was Feng Yuan, he relaxed and said,

"Oh, it’s you. What’s up?"

"What are you guys thinking? Why create such a huge space for dormitories here? I don’t believe there aren’t cheaper solutions."

Scanning the surroundings and noticing nothing amiss, Captain Chen spoke in a low voice to Feng Yuan,

"I’ll tell you but don’t go spreading it around. They plan to use the dormitory area as a pilot to test a new defense system."

"Of course, they definitely won’t let them fall into danger, it’s just to verify whether those devices will be affected in a normal living area and such. Anyway, we can’t manage this matter, but they also wouldn’t dare compromise the relatives’ safety for experiments, would they?"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s expression change abruptly, Captain Chen quickly explained. It would be troublesome if he misunderstood, because due to their good relationship, Captain Yan had given him some confidential information related to Feng Yuan.

Just suppressing a potential unprepared war was enough for him to respect Feng Yuan, not to mention saving people afterwards, and even outsmarting those enemy states. Emperor Savidi was furious and didn’t care much, having retaliated against everyone present at the conflict.

If it weren’t for the previous information allowing Great Xia to speculate on what happened at the border, they might also be wondering what exactly had occurred. Now, with Emperor Savidi’s anger, Great Xia had more time to prepare for a possible war.

Besides, with Feng Yuan being on such good terms with those Divine Beasts, if he suspected that they were using his friends’ family members as guinea pigs, it probably wouldn’t be a second before Lorraine Tower and the others came knocking down the door.

"Really no danger? Are you sure some devices won’t explode?"

Captain Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a faint smile and said,

"No, at least they definitely wouldn’t store anything explosive in this area. Not to mention, our special task force has also been planning to reward the members who have made significant contributions with houses here. If that were the case, do you think they wouldn’t have reacted?"

"Fine, I’ll grudgingly believe you."

Feng Yuan spoke reluctantly, realizing why the new development was placed in the East City District. The defense system couldn’t do without an energy supply, and what they were testing was only a part of it; it certainly wasn’t possible to establish a new district because the existing city defense system didn’t support expansion.

Not to mention extending the energy supply to a new district was out of the question; even if it were technically possible, it wouldn’t work since Maomu City’s defense system was already operating very close to its energy limit—there was simply no way to accommodate the energy consumption of an entire new district.

Even if they placed it in the East City District, Feng Yuan suspected they might have also added a separate energy supply system elsewhere to cope with the demand.

As for why he guessed this, it was because Feng Yuan hadn’t detected any significant energy reactions here, indicating that there weren’t any facilities generating specific energies.

"An experimental zone?"

Feng Yuan looked around the new neighborhood with an inexplicable expression. If it was as Captain Chen had said, this neighborhood should be safer than other areas since they would have the newest equipment here. And as for not being stable?

Oh please, with the current intensity of battles, what good were those outdated defenses? They were useless against time interference or attacks that crossed domains, aside from ensuring that the buildings didn’t collapse.

"Where did you go?"

Qi Chen, who had just met with his mother and Qi Xiao Shuang, turned around to look for Feng Yuan when he realized the latter was missing. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said,

"Just asking something."

"Asking something?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan skeptically, then nodded as Feng Yuan glanced toward the entrance of the neighborhood and said,

"The real situation about this neighborhood, taking up such a large area in the East City District, do you really think it’s that simple?"

"Then..."

Qi Chen was no fool, and reminded by Feng Yuan, he also felt something was amiss. He smiled and told Qi Chen what he had learned from Captain Chen, reminding him to keep it a secret.

"You, always blurting out secrets that you’re just told to keep..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a speechless expression, but Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Doesn’t this concern you guys?"

"Is the old city defense system really no good anymore?"

Qi Chen asked, doubtfully, as Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"Pretty much. The old city defense system’s main functionality was to protect buildings because conflicts usually stayed in the real world. But now, it’s different, especially as more domains are emerging. If we can’t prevent stealth attacks from various domains, then the city defense system is nearly pointless."

"Stopping that must be difficult, right?"

Agunas had little faith in this; after all, those domains had close ties to the real world and even Gitalien couldn’t sever their connection to reality.

"You have to trust human technology."

"Someone even managed to resist time correction before — these domains shouldn’t be too much of a problem."

"Resist time correction?"

Agunas was surprised. In its memory, only some particularly powerful beings from the Mythical Era could exempt themselves from the influence of time correction, yet modern technology had seemingly achieved something similar.

"Pretty much. At that time, she seemed to be trying to create a device for traveling through time, though she failed."

"If she succeeded, Lorraine Tower would have had to have a word with her..."

Agunas said speechlessly. To maintain the stability of the river of time, they couldn’t allow humans to travel through time at will. This applied even to Spirit Beasts, let alone humans using tools for such activities.
