Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1919 - 1920: Impact
Even though Feng Yuan and the others don’t understand Maomu City’s intentions, the square still underwent closure, and according to information Feng Yuan gathered from the Special Duty Team, the entire square seems to be undergoing redesign, though Feng Yuan doesn’t know what they intend to turn the place into.
As time passed, the impact brought by the Abnormal Space event was gradually fading away, just as the holidays were two days from ending, people from all over were basically emerging from the shadows, except for the innocent victims’ families, the rest had already moved on.
Perhaps to dispel the gloom, various places were holding a variety of activities trying to make most people forget that fear through bustling festivals.
It’s just a bit awkward on Maomu City’s side, after all, the square has already begun closure for construction, making the large public spaces Maomu City can use become scarce.
"Hmm, quite a few venues, but the main venue is actually set in the small square in front of the Maomu Grand Library, tsk, that place isn’t big at all."
Looking over the activity information released by Maomu City, Feng Yuan commented, originally if possible, the campuses of Maomu Academy and Maomu University could temporarily serve as venues, which would relieve a lot of their pressure, unfortunately, that’s unrealistic.
Due to the problems with Abnormal Space, all schools are undergoing emergency comprehensive inspections to identify safety hazards, and during such times, they cannot use any school’s grounds to host activities.
Qi Xiaoshuang leaned over the back of the sofa chair and looked at Feng Yuan sitting by the window and asked
"Why didn’t they choose Maomu Forest? It’s not difficult to level a piece of land there, right?"
"It’s not difficult, but it’s quite a hassle, since Maomu Forest also has plantation tasks, messing up might lead to negative effects, plus, that place is originally unsuitable because normally there aren’t many people, the road there is not easy to walk, really hosting activities there would be quite a troublesome thing."
Saying this, Feng Yuan glanced at Cha Mu Specialty Town showing up on the venue list, stroked his chin and said
"Can the Specialty Town handle that much traffic?"
Although Cha Mu Specialty Town covers a sizable area, due to buildings taking up most of the space, a normal tourist boom is fine, but for the festival, Feng Yuan really wasn’t sure if the place could accommodate a surge of guests.
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and said
"They should have considered it, and there’s a reservation entry restriction, if you want to go, it’s best to reserve now."
Though Qi Chen understood too, the so-called entry number limit is just the public limit, internally they should have some margin to cope with special situations and allow people like Feng Yuan with special identities to enter directly, but Qi Chen still felt Feng Yuan going through regular means would be more appropriate.
Not responding immediately, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and asked
"And what about you?"
"Me? I’m going to hang out at the department store with some friends, Cha Mu Specialty...not really interested."
Qi Xiaoshuang said apologetically, and Feng Yuan had little reaction to this, after all, the age gap with Qi Xiaoshuang was clear here, and the other party had their own life, naturally, it wasn’t possible to forcibly drag Qi Xiaoshuang along to play.
Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Qi Chen said
"Yanlan and I can accompany you, but it’s best to change into proper clothes beforehand, or they might not let you in."
Even if Feng Yuan used special channels, Qi Chen didn’t think they’d allow Feng Yuan to enter just wearing modern clothing, as the Cha Mu Specialty Town already specifically used large letters in their announcement reminding everyone to preferably bring more traditional folk costumes themselves.
Clearly, they had already anticipated the influx of tourists, after all, Maomu City’s permanent residents are quite numerous, if even half decided to go out for fun, it would be enough to make most venues lively.
"I know that, what about you, Veronia? And Tamur, are you joining us?"
Nodding slightly, Feng Yuan said this while looking towards Veronia, Tamur lightly waved its tail and said
"I’m joining you."
"Ah, what an unfortunate news, oh well, I might as well reluctantly join you to relax a bit."
Veronia sighed, put down the phone, turned the Rainbow Bubbles underneath towards Feng Yuan and said, looking speechless at Veronia, Feng Yuan said
"You don’t have to force it."
"Alas~ The new season of Tashimar Fantasy Circus has been postponed."
Looking disappointed, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan, scratched his head, Feng Yuan said
"Isn’t that normal? Anyway, this Abnormal Space event has impacted the Tashimar Fantasy Circus series quite a bit, after all... it’s using their imagery."
Though Feng Yuan felt Nordy Company was caught in the crossfire, as this event hardly had much to do with them, but since it affected so many people, from the current situation, the entire Tashimar Fantasy Circus series might be affected.
Wondering if this might intensify her punishment? Feng Yuan thought so inwardly but didn’t intend to investigate, this matter involved so much, he didn’t want to meddle.
Because without Lorraine Tower’s reckless action, Feng Yuan wouldn’t need to use the Yin World’s power to reconstruct the damaged Time River, naturally the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.
Feng Yuan himself felt no guilt, but it’s uncertain for Lorraine Tower and Agunas, after all, they might not be able to act like Ernis, always doing what they believe is right no matter what others say.
If not for the guilt within, Feng Yuan didn’t believe Agunas and Lorraine Tower would have gone to help remedy the aftermath of this incident, but as far as he knew, the remedial efforts could only be said to be superficially completed now.
Behind the scenes, things like compensation are the real trouble, and due to Lorraine Tower’s identities, humanity on this side can’t simply demand exorbitant amounts, and concerning Luo Xiaoxiao’s punishment, a decision is improbable to make anytime soon, let alone some people with ulterior motives wanting to take advantage.
At such times, if Feng Yuan were to get involved, it would make the situation messier because Shi and Xilnais couldn’t be found or contacted by anyone, only Feng Yuan had the ability to communicate with them.
The Divine Beasts learned of the specifics from Agunas and the others, not because they don’t keep secrets, but because events involving the entire world require the Divine Beasts internally to clearly understand the situation.
This allowed some people to know the terrifying power of Shi and Xilnais, compared to common Divine Beasts, their strength was more terrifying, even due to their world-rebuilding powers, the Alliance had to warn nations not to target Shi and Xilnais.
The Alliance knew very well that many people have good relationships with Divine Beasts, who could learn the events from them, and if anyone acted against Shi or Xilnais, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The only fortunate thing is, the place where Shi and Xilnais reside, ordinary people can’t approach, and even Divine Beasts can’t reach.
This also accounts for why Feng Yuan can rest peacefully at home, everyone knew to seek such terrifying existence, there is no bypassing Feng Yuan.
If they truly involved him, the aftermath would be unclear to everyone, hence to avoid unforeseen incidents undesirable to all, even those with personal agendas unanimously agreed not to involve Feng Yuan in the follow-up handling of the Abnormal Space event.
Because none of them dared guarantee whether they’d resist doing something foolish.
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said
"Most adults can understand, but... the children involved in this event might not realize much, but... alas, I was really looking forward to that latest season of Magic Dream Space."
"There’s nothing to be done about it during this time, though they’ll understand, deep down it still wouldn’t feel good. Let’s not talk about that, do you want to change your outfit?"
Spreading his hands Feng Yuan said, naturally the trouble with that series would be handled by Nordy Company, Feng Yuan didn’t feel he needed to do anything, and he didn’t think Veronia needed to do anything.
Perhaps initially it might have a considerable impact, but the Tashimar Fantasy Circus series had developed over so many years, as long as there’s a chance for recovery, Feng Yuan didn’t think Nordy Company would easily give up, especially since they simply suffered from unforeseen disaster.
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan, thought for a moment and said
"Perhaps you’re right, but changing clothes?"
She didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan truly meant.
