Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 152: The Price_1
Chapter 152: Chapter 152: The Price_1
"Would altering history come with a price..."
Captain Yang murmured in a low voice, snorting with a hint of disdain,
"What action doesn’t have a price? It just depends on whether it’s worth it or not. In the end, he’s still just a kid..."
Feng Yuan walked back to Qi Chen’s side with Xiao Ji in his arms, and Yang Hongzhi looked at Najia on his shoulder, who seemed a bit weary, and said,
"So what are we...?"
Feng Yuan glanced at Meng Binglan and took a deep breath before saying,
"We’ll return once Captain Yang is done. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to check out the dynasty of this era~"
"What’s so great about wandering around? Do you even have the money of this era?"
"Who says you need money to wander? Just take the White Wolf Deity with you and see who dares to ask for money~"
"Aren’t you afraid of leaving your mark on history..."
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, and Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"Of course I’m afraid, that’s why it’s regrettable we can’t wander around~"
"You can wander around here. Besides, Captain Yang and the others probably won’t be done that quickly, right?"
"What’s there to see nearby... That burning forest has nothing appealing, not nearly as interesting as what’s inside the tribe."
Feng Yuan somewhat boredly sat cross-legged on the ground and played with Xiao Ji’s fluffy fur. After a while, Captain Yang said to everyone,
"Are all of your tasks complete?"
Feng Yuan yawned and looked at Captain Yang and said,
"We’ve been ready a long time ago, just waiting on you guys."
Gladys nodded at Captain Yang, and everyone gathered around the White Wolf Deity, who had returned to its original size. The White Wolf Deity howled and slapped its left paw down, conjuring countless gear phantoms beside the group. A golden Rune Metal Ring appeared out of thin air, with its runes lighting up one by one. Drudgeon waved at the group and swayed its fluffy tail to say goodbye. Moments later, a white light enveloped everyone, and when the light faded, everyone was back in front of the Land of Time Tranquility, looking at the strange place, Qi Chen said with confusion,
"Isn’t this supposed to lead back to Maomu City?"
"No, the counterfeit time doesn’t exist in the same space-time as the present, so we need to go through the Land of Time Tranquility for a transfer."
At that time, the gears below the platform began to spin quickly, and the giant metal ring in the air suddenly spun faster. The runes on the ring lit up one after another, scattering sky-blue starlight with its rotation. Seeing this sudden change, Qi Chen said anxiously,
"What’s happening now?"
"The time correction has taken effect; history has been altered by us once."
"Let’s go, let’s see if Maomu City has come back."
Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji tightly and followed the White Wolf Deity away, and the others, not having time to think, hastily followed suit, leaving the metal platform. The White Wolf Deity looked at the people around it, howled, and exhaled a white flame. Within the flames, various strange images flashed by. As the flames slowly faded, the group found themselves in a hall, with a police officer in uniform looking at the suddenly appeared group with surprise, summoning his Spirit Beast and eyeing everyone warily.
"It’s me."
Captain Yang stepped forward and waved at the officer, who looked at him with confusion and said,
"What’s going on here?"
Captain Yang calmly gazed at the officer for a moment before saying,
"I’ll report to the higher-ups later, everything that happened here, keep it secret!"
Upon hearing Captain Yang’s authoritative tone, the officer immediately shut his mouth and said no more. Meng Binglan cheerfully prepared to return to the lab. Just then, several officers came out of the break room, complaining as they walked by,
"Really, why are the G Organization and the Transcend Sect fighting again?"
"Who knows, those lunatics are seriously annoying, never caring about the bystanders."
"Compared to the G Organization, though, I’m more curious about the technology of the Transcend Sect."
"Are you crazy? That cruel technology actually interests you!"
Watching the officers pass by while chatting, Captain Yang furrowed his brow with confusion. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with puzzlement and said,
"What’s this Transcend Sect? I don’t recall ever hearing about them before."
Feng Yuan snorted and said,
"The price of doing certain things, let’s go, time to rest~"
"Hey!"
"You can’t leave yet!"
Seeing Feng Yuan turn to leave, the police officer guarding the door stopped them, and Captain Yang glanced at the White Wolf Deity crouched in an attack stance and said to everyone,
"I’ll escort you out, don’t start a fight here!"
Following Captain Yang, they left the building, and only outside did they realize they had been inside the Maomu City police station; Feng Yuan calmly watched the White Wolf Deity disappear into the night and said,
"The Transcend Sect is the price, I hope you think it through next time you do something like this."
Watching as Feng Yuan left without looking back, Captain Yang silently contemplated for a moment before muttering,
"A price, huh..."
"Although I don’t quite understand what you’ve done in the past, considering the interesting experiences we’ve shared, here’s a piece of advice for you,"
Gladys, placing her index finger to her lips, winking and smiling seductively, said,
"Anything involving time, if you can avoid it, better not touch it. You never know what the little things you change will ultimately become, even Lorraine Tower wouldn’t casually alter the past."
"Yeah~ What an interesting trip indeed~ Looks like there’s something to do next~"
Gladys, swaying her hips, turned and left, followed closely by the woman. Before leaving, the woman looked back at Captain Yang with a complex expression. Watching Gladys walk away, Captain Yang closed his eyes and whispered,
"A price, huh... I hope it’s not too high..."
"Hm, the guard is watching; we should sneak in through the balcony."
Back at the dormitory, seeing the locked door, Feng Yuan suggested, and Qi Chen helplessly looked at the door before saying,
"You can’t go in through the balcony either, can you?"
"That’s okay~ Big Cat’s telekinesis should be able to open it~"
They quietly approached the balcony of the dormitory. Feng Yuan, holding Ah Mu, looked at Qi Chen and asked,
"Can you get up there? Do you need my help?"
"No need."
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, tightened his grip on a mysterious branch, and Ah Mu extended its vines to lift Qi Chen up. Seeing Qi Chen successfully enter the balcony, Feng Yuan looked at Big Cat, placed Xiao Ji in his hood, and said,
"Big Cat, I’ll hold you and go up."
"Woof?"
Seeing Big Cat’s puzzled face as it spread its wings, Feng Yuan tapped his forehead, slightly exasperated, and said,
"I know you can fly, but I’m pretty sure you might crash into a wall and cause a big noise, so... don’t move!"
Feng Yuan hugged Big Cat, spread his dark wings, and flew straight to the balcony. After setting Big Cat down, Feng Yuan instructed Big Cat to use telekinesis to unlock the balcony door. After several attempts, the bottom part of the balcony door slowly opened. After Feng Yuan and Qi Chen crept into the dorm, looking at the mess caused by Big Cat’s telekinesis, Feng Yuan said resignedly,
"Let’s clean up in the morning... I’m exhausted..."
Feng Yuan yawned, took off his cloak, and went to bed to rest. Qi Chen glanced at the time, shook his head, placed Ah Mu in its tiny house, locked the balcony door, and also went to bed.
The next morning, Feng Yuan was awakened by the noise outside the window. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at his phone and said,
"It’s just past six, why is it so noisy outside?"
"The White Wolf Deity is here again..."
Hearing Qi Chen, Feng Yuan curiously opened the door and walked to the balcony. Down below, the majestic White Wolf Deity lay there with eyes closed, meditating, surrounded by a bunch of people whispering quietly. Inside, a group of people were loudly discussing something. Feng Yuan scratched his head in frustration and said,
"These guys sure perk up when there’s drama. I’ll go down and check."
"Hey!"
Seeing Feng Yuan flip over the balcony and spread his black wings to fly down, Qi Chen rubbed his temples with slight exasperation. Approaching the White Wolf Deity, Feng Yuan looked at it, and perhaps sensing his presence, the White Wolf Deity opened its eyes and slowly stood up, revealing a golden Spirit Beast Egg that had been underneath it.
