Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1896 - 1897: Testing the Waters
The toy dinosaurs and toy soldiers were evenly matched. But the more the crowd watched, the stranger it seemed, as if it was more of a performance?
Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan beside him with a bit of confusion and asked,
"Why does it feel a little... like they’re acting out a script?"
"It should be. I just don’t know what criteria she uses to judge it. Agunas, do you think we should give it a try?"
Little Husky wagged his tail and said while staring at the miniature toy battle. Agunas understood what Feng Yuan meant, thought for a moment, and said,
"We can. Are you sure it won’t cause any new problems?"
"Probably not. The stability of the rules in this place is very high. Didn’t you notice? Even though the space seems chaotic here, many things are quite stable."
Little Husky shook his ears, glanced around, and said. Perhaps it’s precisely this stability that makes the area look like a game world with many resource-saving traces.
Even though Yang Hongzhi didn’t really understand what Feng Yuan and the others were talking about, he quickly followed Little Husky as it led the charge into the miniature battlefield.
With its size advantage over both sides of the conflict, Little Husky didn’t even need to use many methods to dispatch the toy dinosaur successfully. As for the sudden appearance of Little Husky, the soldiers didn’t attack it; instead, they cheered because the toy dinosaur had been defeated.
A pale blue pillar of light rose from below, and gradually the location of this miniature scenery was covered with blue light. Looking at the white-bordered, semi-transparent cubes floating around, Little Husky wagged his tail and said,
"This seems to be the data domain gate?"
"It certainly looks that way. Could there be a complete data domain here?"
Veronia looked playfully at the data transfer gate composed of blue lines and pale blue cubes framed in white. It was hard not to think of certain possibilities with this unique object of the data domain. With a swish of the tail, Little Husky looked at Xiao Ji and said,
"Get on, let’s go and take a look."
The sound of whales singing, the sound of waves, the cries of seagulls, and other sea-related sounds echoed around. After stepping through the data transfer gate, everyone found themselves above the sea. Veronia looked around at the strange sea area and said,
"I suddenly feel like we might have done something unnecessary before."
"Not necessarily. Although this sea looks just like the one we first entered, the stability of the rules is entirely different. Here, I think even Tamur couldn’t break through the space layer."
Agunas wagged his tail and looked at the sea as he spoke. Although this sea looked very much like the initial sea area everyone entered, there were still some differences in detail.
On this blue sea, you could occasionally see ribbons of color like the aurora that replaced the original color of the sea. At the same time, the pink whales, which could occasionally be seen, were much larger in size, and the seagulls flying in the sky appeared quite cartoonish. The surrounding islands looked full of childlike wonder, just like scenes from an animation.
"The Isle of Wishes in the Sea of Hope... too bad the reconstruction isn’t quite right. The Isle of Wishes shouldn’t be on the Stormy Sea unless this is a fake Isle of Wishes. Hmm? Could she be trying to replicate the scene of defeating the Storm Sea King by using the connection between the fake and real Isles of Wishes to reach the real Isle of Wishes?"
Veronia looked at this seemingly peaceful yet perilous sea area with confusion and said. She didn’t quite understand the situation of this place, but if what she guessed was true, the reconstruction was quite decent. However, she tends to cause trouble.
"I remember the Storm Sea King was based on Delong Tower, right? That seems... not quite fitting?"
Returning to his original form, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said with a bit of frustration. He wasn’t really afraid of upsetting Delong Tower since he knew the Divine Beast wasn’t petty. But facing Delong Tower in a sea battle... seems a bit challenging.
"I’m not sure, but this place probably can’t fully replicate Delong Tower’s power. However, I always feel things aren’t that simple."
With one hand on his chin, Veronia looked at the sea area and said, and Agunas, with a swish of his tail, said irritably,
"We can’t go all out either, can we? Evenly matched, we might not be a match for that Storm Sea King."
Even though the area’s space is highly stable, this doesn’t mean they can act recklessly. After all, the stability is relative to the entire Abnormal Space. To the real world, this area still can’t be considered particularly stable.
With their abilities restricted, Agunas really couldn’t say whether they or the Storm Sea King were stronger. As for going all out? Although it’s doable, doing so would cause the space to collapse and might even trigger the premature collapse of the entire Abnormal Space.
With so many people involved in this Abnormal Space, it naturally won’t allow such a big event to happen.
"Speaking of which, we haven’t seen it, and the appearance of the Cast Cubes is kind of strange..."
Unlike Agunas, Feng Yuan muttered as he scrutinized the surrounding plants. These plants appeared very fake to him, or rather, they were nothing more than simple data modeling.
Why would these things appear here? And why, in places that aren’t noticeable, is there that unique structure of the data domain?
Recalling the report he had seen before, Feng Yuan had a guess as he looked up at the sky. The sky was very blue and beautiful, but it seemed somewhat like a beautiful texture map.
"Could it be that?"
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan scanned his surroundings with doubt yet couldn’t find any direct evidence of its existence. Sighing, he said helplessly,
"Forget it. Come on, no matter what this place is, our current goal is to get to the Isle of Wishes, right?"
Although there’s no mission panel or anything like that, the path forward here isn’t that hard to guess. It’s just that Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand why they would go through the Stormy Sea. Could it be for a BOSS battle?
Thinking of the toy dinosaur at the end of the toy town, Feng Yuan felt it was a possibility, but... something seemed off.
After circling the small island, everyone couldn’t find a large ship to cross the sea, only spotting a wooden raft fixed on the shore. Although the raft wasn’t small in size, Feng Yuan had a feeling it might sink halfway through the sea.
"Well, Xiao Ji, should I put you into the Spirit Beast Space first?"
Looking at that wooden raft, Feng Yuan felt a headache and said to Xiao Ji. If that thing sank, he wouldn’t mind personally, but it might be a problem for Xiao Ji. Shaking its head, Xiao Ji spread its wings and called out, as Agunas wagged his tail and said,
"It says it can handle it, but is this thing... really reliable?"
"Of course not. I remember this should be the little wooden raft, Hope’s Boat, that appeared at the start. The details are almost identical. I just don’t know if it’ll also fall apart halfway through."
With a mischievous smile on her face, Veronia teased everyone and, rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said irritably,
"Cut it out. This isn’t a dead-end. I think, according to what you said, this little wooden raft might continuously evolve into a big ship on the way, unless there’s another force interfering here. But for now, I haven’t found that sign."
If he wasn’t entirely sure before, Feng Yuan had figured it out with the toy dinosaur; the one causing all this is probably Luo Xiaoxiao with no doubt, and she likely did not do this deliberately. At least, under the projection of the heart, the thoughts displayed by the other party were normal.
Justice shall prevail, this was the outcome Feng Yuan discovered from testing with the toy dinosaur. He thought if it were him, even if the toy dinosaur was destroyed, the toy soldiers might not celebrate.
Because for Feng Yuan, there wasn’t a particularly clear distinction between justice and evil. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
This is why Feng Yuan previously asked Agunas whether they should test it. If destroying the toy dinosaur at that time would trigger a counterattack or even a backlash, then perhaps, in the other party’s heart, the toy dinosaur representative of evil was the correct side.
If that were truly the case, Feng Yuan could only apologize to Ji Wenchang, as very likely, this Abnormal Space was caused by her intentionally making such a scene.
However, it was the previous test that made Feng Yuan clear that there wouldn’t be an unsolvable puzzle here unless there were underwater stages.
