Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 107 Divine Beasts’ Protection_1

"It’s said that it was for the purpose of developing tourism in Cha Mu Town, and since the Dragon God seemingly loves lively events, the Goddess eventually decided to welcome tourists to watch the sacrificial rites."

"Loves lively events? What kind of Spirit Beast is the Dragon God, then?"

"I don’t know, but it’s probably one of the Divine Beasts. It’s a pity that even the Divine Beast Hall doesn’t know which Divine Beast the Dragon God of Cha Mu Town really is."

"A spontaneous sacrificial event?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzled at the girl praying towards the sky. During their conversation, a blazing flame started to burn within the pit, and a translucent, light red membrane appeared in front of the depression where they stood. Seeing Feng Yuan about to touch the membrane, Qi Chen hastily stopped him,

"Don’t reach out! The temperature of those flames outside is especially high!"

"So that’s why there’s a safety zone?"

Watching the flames outside morph and swirl into various Spirit Beasts galloping around, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji, who was intently gazing at the flames in his arms,

"Who knows when your flames will be able to do that too, huh~ Don’t you think they’re gorgeous~"

"Ji~"

"But don’t you go thinking about doing that anytime soon~"

Feng Yuan added with a mischievous smile, and Xiao Ji glared at him dissatisfied before continuing to admire the performance. The flames, as if sentient, circled around the girl dancing on the altar, transforming into various shapes to match her dance. After the performance ended, Feng Yuan intended to go over and thank the girl, but in the blink of an eye, she walked through an entrance. Watching the staff members blocking the way, Feng Yuan sighed, feeling helpless, and returned to the group to leave with everyone.

"Let’s go have some Yun tea~"

Having left the sacrificial venue with a satisfied look, Feng Yuan suggested. Yang Hongzhi nodded and led the way to the front, leading the group to a particularly decorous shop. After a few words with the shop owner, Yang Hongzhi brought everyone into a private room. Once seated, Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, asked Feng Yuan,

"How did you figure out that she was the Goddess?"

"Are you still hung up on that question?"

"It feels very strange, don’t tell me you’re so lucky that you just randomly picked out the Goddess?"

Seeing Qi Chen’s determined look, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"I figured it out from her attire. I really didn’t know she was the Goddess, but I guessed she was definitely one of the important figures in the sacrificial ceremony."

"Her attire? What was special about her clothing?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with skepticism. Along the way, he had seen many people dressed similarly to the public or to that girl. Feng Yuan, with one hand propping his head on the table, shook the cup in his other hand and said,

"The Ritual Robe, especially the one she wore, was not something those casually made folk costumes could compare to. Someone wearing a formal Ritual Robe like that at such an occasion must be a staff member with a certain status, right? And she probably thought I was also a Divine Pact Maker, which is why she took special care of me."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen glanced at him with some confusion and said,

"There’s nothing special about what you’re wearing, right? How could you be mistaken for a Divine Pact Maker?"

"What do you think a deity is?"

"Uh..."

"Most are Divine Beasts, right? She probably didn’t make a mistake based on my clothes. She must have sensed this, which led to the confusion."

Feng Yuan said, toying with the Wolf Tooth necklace around his neck. Xiao Ji looked up at Feng Yuan with curiosity, while Feng Yuan smiled and ruffled Xiao Ji’s head. Qi Chen, feeling somewhat perplexed, looked at the Wolf Tooth necklace around his own neck and said,

"Is there something wrong with this necklace?"

"The wolf tooth inside it comes from the White Wolf Deity. What do you think? Isn’t it normal to be mistaken for a Priest of the White Wolf Deity?"

"What did you say!"

Qi Chen said, looking surprised at Feng Yuan, while Qi Xiaoshuang eagerly touched the Wolf Tooth necklace around her neck. Yang Hongzhi looked as if he had unravelled a mystery and said,

"No wonder I felt the energy in the necklace was kind of strange. It figures, but this item..."

"Gina."

Seeing Yang Hongzhi seemed to be taking off his necklace, Najia extended her little hand to pat the right hand he had placed on the table and shook her head. Yang Hongzhi looked at Najia seriously and said,

"Divine Beast items are only given to those who are close. I’m not that familiar with the White Wolf Deity, and if he knew he was giving Divine Beast items to others so casually, the White Wolf Deity would be furious."

Najia smiled, shook her head and turned to look at Feng Yuan, who said somewhat speechlessly,

"It’s already been given to you, there won’t be any problems with that, rest assured. The White Wolf Deity agreed to give them to you; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to receive the Divine Beasts’ protection."

"The Divine Beasts’ protection?"

"Yeah, that Wolf Tooth necklace, it can protect you from some dangers, like soul-type attacks and such. Divine Beast items are basically for protection; what they can protect you from depends on which Divine Beast it is."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he pointed to his lips and recalled,

"I remember the Divine Beast item of Nagna seems to reduce damage from the Death Series, and it even has a once-off revival ability since it is a Life Divine Beast. But that thing is said to be quite rare; after all, anything involving the revival of living beings always comes with its own restrictions."

"Lorraine Tower’s seems to be the protection of time, allowing one to avoid Time Series ultimate attacks or deathly attacks. It’s a good thing for preventing assassinations. The rest of the Divine Beast items are similar, all based on the Divine Beast’s own attributes."

"Ji?"

Seeing Xiao Ji lower his head to look at the fluff on his body, Feng Yuan laughed and vigorously rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said,

"Divine Beast items are objects that condense the power of Divine Beasts. The White Wolf Deity has had few Wolf Teeth to change; I’ve almost gotten enough as it is, so don’t even think about asking for more~"

"To get so many Divine Beast items at once... you’re really something. If the Divine Beast Hall found out, they would definitely absorb you into their ranks."

"How could that be possible? If it were like that, the Divine Beast Hall would have been dismantled long ago; they are the ones who pursue the path of divinity."

Feng Yuan looked discontented as he spoke to Qi Chen, while Qi Xiaoshuang said disdainfully,

"With control over a large number of Divine Beasts, even just being on good terms with them would be enough for them to contend with the Alliance, right?"

"Do you think Divine Beasts would really get involved in such trivial matters? They only participated in wars in the past because of the Divine Pact Makers’ involvement. Nowadays, Divine Pact Makers have good relationships with nations, and many are part of the state. Do you expect them to command Divine Beasts with whom they are just on good terms? Dream on."

"Aren’t there many Divine Pact Makers who have joined the Divine Beast Hall as well?"

"That’s just in name. After all, Divine Beasts also need to communicate. Why are you thinking so darkly?"

"What do you mean I’m thinking darkly..."

Qi Xiaoshuang glared at Feng Yuan discontentedly, while Qi Chen helplessly tried to pacify Qi Xiaoshuang on the side, and Yang Hongzhi watched, not knowing what to say. Dou Yanlan gently stroked Cotton and spoke,

"Just think about the nature of Divine Beasts to understand."

"Uh... you really hit the nail on the head..."

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang suddenly at a loss for words, Feng Yuan was somewhat speechless. Remembering that those Divine Beasts really didn’t care about human civilization, Qi Xiaoshuang could only agree with Feng Yuan’s view in her heart, casting a disgruntled glance at Feng Yuan and turning her head to whisper something to Dou Yanlan.

"I’ll pay, after all, you just gave me something so valuable," said Yang Hongzhi to Feng Yuan when they finished drinking Yun tea and were paying the bill. Najia waved her little hand at Feng Yuan, signaling him not to refuse. While Feng Yuan casually wiped the mouths of the Dreaming Dragon Baby and Xiao Ji, he said indifferently,

"Alright then, thanks for the trouble~"

"We’ll give you our share."

"No need."

Yang Hongzhi rejected the money Qi Chen and the others passed over. After paying the bill, Feng Yuan said, fully satisfied,

"It’s true, you have to be with someone familiar to enjoy good food~ Are we going straight to Cloud Summit Mountain or do we take a walk around the town first?"

"Let’s stroll around first; it’s a rare visit~"

Qi Xiaoshuang said excitedly, and watching her enthusiastic demeanor, Feng Yuan had an inexplicable feeling of ominous foreboding.
