Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2363 - 2364: Inevitable Events

With Agunas’ intervention, many visitors who accidentally intruded onto the main timeline from the Parallel World were identified. Through these individuals, the general information about these two time streams gradually unfolded before the Divine Beasts.

The timeline where Qi Chen from the Parallel World resided was called the War Timeline. Compared to the main timeline, this timeline was fraught with war. Even now, they can see that most of this timeline’s regions are in a state of conflict. As for the other timeline, it’s a rather special timeline.

Compared to the chaos of the War Timeline, this timeline appears much more peaceful, but beneath this peace, hidden currents are surging. The reason is simple: this timeline also differs from the main timeline, with every continent ruled by an Empire.

In this situation, each continent’s internal affairs are relatively peaceful; however, time is never a reasonable existence. Long-standing peace within each Empire accumulates dissatisfaction and conflicts.

Moreover, since the habit of unifying entire regions has persisted for a long time, even those dissatisfied with the existing Empire think only of replacing it and controlling the entire region. While that’s not impossible, preliminary preparations naturally require considerable time.

Similarly, the existing Empires will not permit them to do so, resulting in ongoing struggles between the two, with one side needing time to gather strength, while the other must completely eliminate them before their power grows.

The result is continuous chaos and destruction within the Empire, but compared to the War Timeline, the damage to ordinary people is slightly less.

This timeline is also dubbed the Imperial Timeline by the Divine Beasts.

Yet, regardless of which timeline it is, in the eyes of the Divine Beasts, both are troublesome matters. Based on their understanding of humans, both timelines have the motive and need to invade the main timeline, and the only limit is their ability to traverse the timelines.

However, because naturally occurring temporal overlaps can happen at any time, even if the Divine Beasts don’t assist them, that group might still research the means to traverse timelines.

Regarding this, the Divine Beasts can only choose to warn the Alliance and the Divine Beast Hall to prepare to avoid being caught off guard by the other two timelines.

Upon telling Feng Yuan about this, Agunas learned that Parallel World Qi Chen was actually within one of the timelines, causing some headaches.

It didn’t know how Feng Yuan would consider this; if he intended to help Parallel World Qi Chen, something could happen.

"Hmm, so that’s how it is, no wonder he’s so eager to return, but the troubles that follow might be plenty."

Glancing at Agunas and the others, Feng Yuan said, resisting attacks from across timelines is the choice of the Divine Beasts, as for striking first?

For them, it’s impossible, or rather, they can’t do it. Although those folks may choose to invade, they can’t deny their existence rights. In the divine beast’s view, they are also part of this world.

Just like wars between nations in the real world, the Divine Beasts mostly stand by the sides they support, not randomly instigate a war with a third-party nation unrelated to the country they support.

The reason why so many Divine Beasts stand on the same line this time is entirely due to the absence of Divine Beasts in the other two time streams. Even if there are parallel possibilities, the unique nature of the Divine Beasts throughout time still exerts influence. This is also why Feng Yuan claims that Parallel World shouldn’t have emerged at this point.

A Parallel World must possess corresponding Divine Beasts; even if a projection, it fundamentally differs from the hidden absence of Divine Beasts within time streams.

The current world simply can’t sustain such consumption. Thus, this time stream has reached its limit, but precisely because of this, despite the legends of Divine Beasts in these two time streams, sightings of Divine Beasts are rare.

Because those Divine Beasts are essentially Divine Beasts of the main timeline, merely appearing in those places and leaving legends due to the shared world environment.

Of course, at the beginning, all Divine Beasts undoubtedly sided with the main timeline, but as time goes on, Feng Yuan could not be sure if some might not sympathize with other time streams and shift to those timelines.

In Feng Yuan’s view, rather than defining time streams as different timelines, they are more like different spatial areas of the same world. Despite time streams being influenced by the main timeline, unable to break free from its framework, in terms of details, they might not follow established history.

The three timelines, in Feng Yuan’s eyes, are more like similar larger regional domains. Each domain has its unique features; as long as they don’t touch the framework, the three timelines are virtually indistinguishable.

Whether it’s the War Timeline or the Imperial Timeline, Feng Yuan believes they will inevitably attempt to invade the main timeline, as only the main timeline lacks the so-called framework restriction.

In the time streams, development is almost unrestricted, but they cannot break free from the main framework, like the Great Xia where Feng Yuan resides, which exists in both the War Timeline and the Imperial Timeline.

That’s right, even in an Empire ruled regional area within the Imperial Timeline, names similar to the main timeline exist, but these names pertain not to nations but different areas.

As for the War Timeline where Parallel World Qi Chen resides, no more needs to be said, perhaps due to Feng Yuan’s initial action, resulting in the impossibility of its elimination.

Feng Yuan’s influence is substantial, causing where he is to become part of the framework, and the absence of the Great Xia clearly contradicts this framework, so the time streams will use their means to forcibly prevent such occurrences.

Of course, even Feng Yuan himself senses this vaguely without fully understanding the underlying truth.

"Will the Parallel World version of me become an invader..."

Qi Chen looked somewhat distressed at Feng Yuan. Knowing that these two time streams might act against their own world in the future left him with an uncomfortable feeling.

"Hmm, likely not. I think his personality is similar to yours, unlikely to initiate an invasion, but I’m talking about Qi Chen from the War Timeline. Honestly, you should treat them as strangers who resemble you."

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan smiled and said, Dou Yanlan nodded and spoke

"Although they share similar experiences and appearances, we are ultimately different existences. Not to mention that even if they invade, it’s beyond what we can resist now."

Though Dou Yanlan didn’t know the condition of her War Timeline self, she estimated that even if weaker, it wouldn’t be much weaker than Qi Chen.

Given the strength of Parallel World Qi Chen, they can’t possibly withstand it. There’s nothing they can do, the baseline strength disparity between the two sides is just too vast.

While they are similar existences, Parallel World Qi Chen is several years older than Qi Chen, and it’s this age difference directly widening the Beast Tamer skill gap between them.

Compared to the existence of oneself and Qi Chen’s Parallel World...

Dou Yanlan looked up at Feng Yuan; his Parallel World presence is the true headache, for based on Feng Yuan’s current displayed strength, not to mention the Parallel World Dou Yanlan they previously encountered, even the Parallel World Qiu Hanmo might find no way against Feng Yuan.

No choice, strategy needs a foundation in strength, and when the strength disparity is too vast, strategy inevitably loses effectiveness. Feng Yuan’s strength is clearly able to achieve this step.

"Hmm, is there something on my face?"

Seeing Dou Yanlan staring at him, Feng Yuan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and Dou Yanlan shook her head slightly, saying

"No, I was just wondering if the Parallel World version of you would participate in the invasion."

"Wouldn’t and couldn’t."

Laughing lightly, Feng Yuan replied decisively, surprising the two, while Veronia covered her face with a quiet chuckle, offering no explanation, simply watching Feng Yuan spout nonsense.

The truth is very simple, Feng Yuan’s uniqueness throughout time is even more pronounced than the Divine Beasts. When he leaves the timeline, his presence in all timelines will gradually fade until hidden in all time, only reappearing once Feng Yuan returns to the timeline.

In other time streams, there’s essentially no existence of Feng Yuan, thus eliminating Dou Yanlan’s concerns.

Only, Feng Yuan can’t explain this truth clearly, after all, being unique throughout time is not a trait a normal person can own.
