Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1903 - 1904: Touching the Truth
As the giant turtle approached the pink whale, everyone was surprised to find that there wasn’t just a pavilion on the back of the pink giant whale. They didn’t quite understand why there was a complete garden on the back of the pink whale.
Pulling on the thick vine hanging down from the garden, Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi and the others and said
"Together?"
"I think it might be better to let it go up first."
Signaling with her eyes to the Data Spirit Fox, Veronia said. Perhaps because they were already very close to Luo Xiaoxiao, they could even feel a sense of sadness enveloping the place. That emotion even affected the garden, adding a touch of withering yellow to the dark green vines. If they had arrived a bit later, those vines might have completely withered.
Grabbing the vines and climbing up swiftly, the Data Spirit Fox was the first to run up to the garden on the back of the pink giant whale. If it weren’t for the sound of the waves in their ears, they might have thought they had arrived at some courtyard.
Here, not only were there various blooming flowers, but streams trickled along pebbled waterways through clusters of flowers of different colors. Flitting butterflies dotted the sky, and birds singing joyously were hidden under the lush green leaves. If it weren’t inappropriate, Feng Yuan even thought of taking some group photos here.
"This place is really beautiful, but it always feels like something isn’t quite right."
Looking around the beautiful garden, Feng Yuan muttered. If the garden wasn’t on the back of a whale, or rather, located in a different space, he might not have found it so strange. It just seemed oddly discordant the way the garden was abruptly combined with the whale.
"Indeed, in the original work, there was no garden like this, it’s just..."
Watching the Data Spirit Fox rushing towards the pavilion, Veronia said thoughtfully.
"You... have arrived..."
Curled up with her legs hugged tightly sitting on a soft large bed, Luo Xiaoxiao noticed the rapidly approaching Data Spirit Fox and whispered, slowly lifting her head to look beyond the gauze curtains at the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Mewing and mewing, the Data Spirit Fox didn’t pass through the gauze curtains but spoke to Luo Xiaoxiao from outside. However, Luo Xiaoxiao, dressed like a little princess, didn’t move, just quietly watching.
When Feng Yuan and the others arrived, they saw the Data Spirit Fox anxiously calling out to the person behind the gauze curtains, and Veronia frowned and said
"It seems the situation isn’t good."
"Well, do you have any way with children?"
Hesitating, Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi. He felt he didn’t have the ability to comfort Luo Xiaoxiao, but in their current position, even if he wanted to seek help from outside, he had no way.
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Yang Hongzhi scratched his head and said,
"Well, I..."
"Probably not. Oh well, let me give it a try."
Seeing Yang Hongzhi like that, Feng Yuan sighed helplessly and said, as for Veronia and the others? Feng Yuan held no expectations.
"I’m sorry..."
As Feng Yuan approached, Luo Xiaoxiao hugged the fox plushie and said in a low voice. Feng Yuan didn’t know who she was apologizing to. The Data Spirit Fox tried to lift the gauze curtain to get closer to Luo Xiaoxiao but seemed hesitant. Feng Yuan, however, didn’t have such reservations. He stepped forward and lifted the gauze curtain, pulling the Data Spirit Fox inside with him.
Pushing the Data Spirit Fox in front of Luo Xiaoxiao, Feng Yuan grinned and said
"When you’re feeling down, why not try hugging a fluffy big toy?"
Looking at the big fox that peeked over its head and worriedly watched her, Luo Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not daring to look at it, and whispered in a voice as small as a mosquito
"I’m sorry... it’s all my fault... if I hadn’t been so willful..."
"It probably has nothing to do with willfulness, right? After all, it’s not your fault either. Don’t you want to hug it? It’s fluffy and feels pretty good～"
Taking the opportunity to stroke the Nine-Tailed Fox’s soft fur, Feng Yuan said, feeling an arrow-like gaze on his back, laughed as he withdrew his hand, knowing that his actions must have angered Xiao Ji.
Pushed forward once more by Feng Yuan, this time the fluffy head of the Data Spirit Fox bumped into Luo Xiaoxiao. Hesitating as she looked at the Data Spirit Fox so close in front of her, Luo Xiaoxiao carefully extended her hand.
The Data Spirit Fox, initially intending to retreat, froze upon seeing Luo Xiaoxiao’s movement, allowing her to gently hug its fluffy head. The Data Spirit Fox mewed softly.
However, as if remembering something, Luo Xiaoxiao’s body stiffened. Her hand stopped, and she slowly stepped back, lowering her head to say
"I’m sorry..."
"If... if I hadn’t wished for such an unrealistic wish... maybe... all this disaster wouldn’t have happened..."
"I... am really a jinx..."
"One could say it’s merely a coincidence, right? Because even if that thing hadn’t met you, it might have encountered someone else and turned into something different. By the way, do you know where the thing that triggered all this is?"
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said awkwardly, and seeing Luo Xiaoxiao not answering, he hurriedly added
"Maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem. If we can see the starting point, who knows, there might still be a chance to reverse all this. But... I know what you want to do, but... forget it, you take me there. After it’s over, I’ll find a chance to take you to the Netherworld, but... I can’t guarantee you’ll definitely..."
As he spoke, Feng Yuan became somewhat embarrassed. Based on previous intelligence, he could guess that Luo Xiaoxiao’s wish included seeing her mother again. At the Ferris wheel train station, Feng Yuan was sure that wish was being represented. However, no matter how special the Abnormal Space was, it could not bring the dead back to life.
"I... don’t want to... just because of this one moment of willfulness, so many things happened... I..."
"You... come with me..."
Holding the fox plushie, trying her best not to let tears fall, Luo Xiaoxiao attempted to stand, and the Data Spirit Fox quickly approached to assist with its head.
Looking at the Data Spirit Fox that cared about her, Luo Xiaoxiao, holding the fox carefully, stood up. At this moment, in the pavilion’s center, numerous dark red small cubes appeared, opening a strange passage similar to a space gate in the Data Domain.
Compared to the gates of the Data Domain, this dark red space passage seemed like the gates to hell, not just different in hue but also emanating an eerie aura of dead silence.
Veronia and the others who arrived from behind sensed this aura and exchanged astonished glances. Veronia uncertainly said
"This familiar aura, how come..."
"It’s strange. They shouldn’t be doing this."
Agunas swung its tail, unable to understand what was going on. Yang Hongzhi was at a loss, not understanding what they were talking about, while Najia, sitting on Xiao Hei’s head, wondered,
"Xilnais’s aura? But why is it here?"
Indeed, the familiar aura they sensed was from the unique power of the Yin World. They couldn’t figure out why the force of the Yin World was causing such a disaster in the real world.
It’s known that there’s little intersection between the two. Even for Xilnais and the others, unless Feng Yuan needed them for help, they wouldn’t voluntarily appear in the real world.
"The power of the Yin World... or rather, it’s the power of the Stone Forest..."
Compared to Agunas and the others, Feng Yuan understood the true nature of this power better. Glancing at Luo Xiaoxiao, Feng Yuan led the way into the passage, where in the deep crimson space, dark irregular stripes spread across like demon claw marks.
In the center of this deep crimson space, a crimson gemstone floated quietly. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"As expected, huh..."
Sighing, Feng Yuan felt somewhat helpless. When he sensed the source of that power, Feng Yuan already guessed the truth.
"During the world reconstruction, it still produced unforeseen consequences. This power is the condensation of the Yin World’s power used back then for world reconstruction. No wonder the chaotic Abnormal Space actually turned into a place where dreams come true."
Taking out the pitch-black Ancient Book, Feng Yuan approached the Crimson Gem, and upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas instantly recalled the big trouble inadvertently caused when investigating Quine,
At that time, it was Feng Yuan who brought in Xilnais and the others to forcibly use the power of the Yin World to destroy the polluted space-time based on recorded history and rebuild it.
However, who would have thought that the power used for world reconstruction back then would leave a residue, forming an Abnormal Space in the modern world.
If it really was that power, then all the anomalies in this Abnormal Space could be explained.
After all, that power, in essence, is high-rank power capable of creating worlds. Even in the chaotic Abnormal Space, actions still needed to abide by the rules set by that power.
"Thankfully, it hasn’t completely collapsed, there’s still time."
Looking at the Crimson Gem, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.
