Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 174 Concern_1

"Should we be grateful for grasping the truth in our constantly changing history...?"

With a touch of self-mockery, Dou Yanlan said, while Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and replied,

"What’s there to be grateful for? Even if we know what happened before, what can we do about it? Only the present exists, and knowing too much just adds to our troubles."

"True..."

Recalling the Transcend Sect they had researched before, both of them felt a lingering fear, and Cotton shook its tail and rubbed its head against Dou Yanlan. After petting Cotton, Dou Yanlan asked,

"There won’t be another Transcend Sect this time, right?"

"No, He has taken action. Apart from some minor changes, major ones like the emergence of the Transcend Sect won’t happen again. I wouldn’t be able to fix it if it happened another time..."

Feng Yuan sighed and said to the two,

"Let’s go—time to eat."

"What’s this?"

After Teacher Yan finished imparting today’s knowledge and indicated that everyone could train freely, he approached Feng Yuan and, seeing Agunas floating by Feng Yuan’s side, asked with some curiosity; Agunas glanced at Teacher Yan and then lowered its head to continue recording something on the ancient book. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"This is Agunas, who’s been responsible for my safety recently."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Teacher Yan narrowed his eyes and sternly asked,

"What trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

Feng Yuan shrank his head and said in a low voice,

"None, just that I feel a bit insecure without being able to tap into the Power of Death lately..."

Teacher Yan stared at Feng Yuan for a while, then sighed and said,

"Then try not to leave the school. I’ll try to stay on campus during this period. If you have any problems, come find me."

Feng Yuan scratched his head and said with a beaming smile,

"You don’t need to do that... I have Xiao Ji and Agunas to protect me, you don’t have to guard me specially..."

"It’s a price to pay, isn’t it? Every person who has altered history in the records paid a price. Is yours the Power of Death?"

"Yes and no, it’s just that I can’t use it for a while, not that I’ve lost it."

"What do you plan to do if someone attacks you during this period? Xiao Ji’s form isn’t something you can use casually, right?"

Seeing the hidden concern in Teacher Yan’s gaze, Feng Yuan smiled and pointed to Agunas, saying,

"I’ll rely on it—although it’s still quite far from its peak combat power, it should already possess Legendary-Level strength."

After scrutinizing Agunas for a moment, Teacher Yan noticed that Feng Yuan did not have the egg with him and then said,

"Could it be that it hatched from that egg?"

"Yes, it will probably stay with me until its power is restored."

"Power restoration?"

After pondering for a moment and looking somewhat astonished, Teacher Yan said,

"Could it be... a Divine Beast?"

"Yeah, a Time Series Divine Beast."

"You’ll keep it a secret for me, right?"

Teacher Yan felt relieved seeing Agunas silently recording something, and with a sigh of relief, said to Feng Yuan,

"In that case, I won’t stay specifically. If something comes up, you can call me."

With that, Teacher Yan looked around and, finding no one nearby, signaled Xiao Tong to keep watch and whispered to Feng Yuan,

"Is the Transcend Sect truly gone?"

"Yes, what’s up?"

"The incident with Xiao Ling still happened, only it’s turned from the Transcend Sect to a gang of criminals stealing Spirit Beasts..."

Sighing, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

"Is this something that was bound to occur... I’ll try to see if I can get Nagna to come over."

"I appreciate it."

With a sigh, Teacher Yan seemed a bit disheartened. Feng Yuan smiled and looked at Xiao Ji, who was training. Teacher Yan turned to guide the other students. After a while, Teacher Mu approached Feng Yuan and said with slight resignation,

"Do you have a moment? Captain Yang is looking for you."

"Captain Yang?"

"Yeah, Captain Yang. He wants to speak with you; he’s waiting at the main gate." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Hearing Teacher Mu’s words, Feng Yuan scratched his head and turned to leave. Teacher Mu went to the side where Teacher Yan was instructing the students and began to discuss some matters.

Seeing Feng Yuan approaching with a puzzled look, Captain Yang fell silent for a while before saying in a somewhat hoarse voice

"Why did you have to do this all by yourself?"

Knowing what Captain Yang was referring to, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"Otherwise, should I drag a bunch of people into it? It’s not like playing a game and forming a team for a dungeon run."

Captain Yang’s voice suddenly grew louder,

"But that wasn’t something you should have done! It wasn’t your fault, so why should you pay the price!"

Feng Yuan calmly folded his arms and said,

"Because I felt I could bear the cost, and at that time, I didn’t stop you. It’s that simple."

"What price did you pay..."

"I won’t be able to use the Power of Death for a while."

Hearing Captain Yang’s low voice, Feng Yuan spread his hands indifferently and said, Captain Yang looked at him suspiciously then sighed,

"Why must you hide it? Knowing this doesn’t make me feel any better..."

"I’m not hiding anything. It’s exactly as I’ve said."

Captain Yang sighed self-mockingly,

"Why didn’t you call us to join you? Was it because we went too far and you wanted us to feel guilty for a lifetime..."

"Having the person you’re supposed to protect clean up the mess you caused..."

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Yang speechlessly and said,

"What do you mean ’the person you’re supposed to protect’? I’m hardly in need of your protection..."

"As for not involving you, it was simply because it happened to be hatching at that time, and delaying to the next day would have just mixed up two separate issues, making things too complicated..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Captain Yang looked up and saw Agunas floating beside Feng Yuan and said,

"Did you rely on it to correct the mistake?"

"What else? Besides Agunas, who can suppress time, which other Divine Beast would dare to touch a point in time that’s been altered twice in a row?"

"Wait... two separate issues? What else did you encounter?"

Seeing Captain Yang’s eager look, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"The incident at E Hua Temple has passed, who knew that thing would actually be connected to the Transcend Sect? But as for Xiao Ling..."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Captain Yang’s expression darkened as he said in a low voice,

"Tell me what exactly happened at E Hua Temple."

Feng Yuan briefly recounted the events at E Hua Temple to Captain Yang, who sighed and said,

"I had no idea the Transcend Sect’s influence was so extensive, and you dared to go to such a dangerous place!"

"It wasn’t that dangerous... except for a girl who didn’t know better, the rest was manageable."

Captain Yang fell silent for a moment then asked,

"Do you think the issue with your classmate will end up like Xiao Ling’s, unavoidable?"

"No, it won’t. Since it didn’t happen before, it won’t occur later. But Nagna is quite busy lately, there’s no guarantee she can be found right away..."

Feng Yuan said, scratching his head, while Captain Yang looked at him seriously and said,

"Don’t go looking for Nagna. You’ve drawn enough attention to yourself lately. I’ll figure something out for Xiao Ling. If worse comes to worst, I’ll make a trip to the Omeilia Region myself. Just don’t do anything else that draws attention!"

Feng Yuan took a few steps back and nodded in agreement after seeing Captain Yang’s earnest expression. Just then, Drudgeon’s somewhat helpless voice sounded next to Feng Yuan’s ear,

"What kind of attention-grabbing thing are you planning to do now..."

"Nothing! I’m being very honest, okay? But... Cat God, did you bring my snacks with you〜"

Drudgeon looked at Feng Yuan helplessly and flicked his tail, tossing the bag in his hand to Feng Yuan, who caught it and then asked Drudgeon,

"Do you have any Lost Magic that can heal the depletion of a human’s life potential?"

"What are you trying to do?"

"Save someone."

Feng Yuan explained the situation with Xiao Ling as Captain Yang added,

"Xiao Ling’s issue now is the loss of life potential directly caused by life-draining."

Drudgeon was silent for a while then said,

"It should be possible, but I need to check the specifics."

After giving some simple instructions to Feng Yuan to be safe, Captain Yang quickly left with Drudgeon. Feng Yuan smiled, turned around, and headed back to school.
