Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1956 - 1957: Dispelling Doubts

The long-haired lady arrived in a blaze and left just as swiftly. Though she hadn’t asked if any conditions needed modification, both Feng Yuan and the lady understood that they would have to wait until the specific evaluation results of the Hao Chun Bird to decide.

After all, unlike the alliance, the Divine Beast Hall was in decline, wanting to offer protection isn’t just a matter of announcing it simply. It greatly depends on how attractive the Hao Chun Bird is—if it has traits that especially attract illegal organizations, a simple declaration won’t ensure their safety, and more measures will naturally be required.

"Compared to the Alliance, is it strange that I actually find them better?"

Veronia cast a curious glance at Feng Yuan. Of course, she could demand Feng Yuan to return with the Hao Chun Bird to Maomu City for inspection, but she didn’t because the one appearing here had already seen through Feng Yuan’s intentions.

In comparison to the alliance member who sought trouble immediately, Veronia found it peculiar that she found the declining Divine Beast Hall seemingly more reliable?

"That person does have some tactics. Perhaps, the Divine Beast Hall might rise from the ashes. Anyway, what’s worrying before has already occurred, hasn’t it?"

Feng Yuan smiled and said, during this time, the Divine Beast Hall wasn’t without issues, even undergoing major changes internally. This was precisely why Feng Yuan hadn’t considered the Divine Beast Hall initially; no one knew whether this reform would destroy this ancient organization.

But for now, it seemed relatively fine, at least that person... was decent. The true reliance of the Divine Beast Hall wasn’t a group of cunning elders but the fiercely competent Beastmasters. Unfortunately, due to struggles for power and historical limitations, the Divine Beast Hall had declined.

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with some doubt and said

"Do you really think a rivalry between the Divine Beast Hall and the Alliance is a good thing?"

"At the very least, with the divine beasts suppressing them, they may not cause much trouble. Instead, the two major organizations engaging in strife might prevent the Alliance from becoming another Divine Beast Hall—not to mention after this reform, the Divine Beast Hall might end up very similar to the Alliance."

With a casual shrug, Feng Yuan said, who could predict the future? But given the current situation, some within the Alliance were itching to act, as to whether they succeed is uncertain.

But being directly confronted by Estir, the Master of the Forest, might affect the Alliance’s reputation; hopefully, they wouldn’t be too unwise. Continued entanglement and conflict with the divine beasts isn’t a good idea.

Estir, although only recently reaching the divine beast-level strength due to various reasons, isn’t someone to be underestimated. After all, it’s of the neutral divine beast faction.

And because of Feng Yuan, Estir would be somewhat shielded by Lorraine Tower and the others. At least, before Estir selects humans, it’s considered one of their divine beasts.

Indeed, if they provoke or counter Estir, troubles will be immense, not to mention Agunas being involved. Fighting the divine beasts would require another divine beast to step in; unleashing a divine beast war at the Alliance headquarters would certainly be problematic.

Thinking it through, Feng Yuan didn’t bother having Veronia inquire about Agunas’ current condition. If there’s an issue, it would be Lorraine Tower’s concern. If need be, having Xilnais and Eclipse intervene could suppress the chaos among the divine beasts.

As beings slightly higher in status than ordinary divine beasts, Xilnais and Eclipse can fully suppress most divine beasts when unleashed.

Hopefully, the Alliance members wouldn’t escalate things too far.

With secret thoughts, Feng Yuan waved at the Hao Chun Birds to instruct Veronia to translate and alert them about the precautions after returning to the city, and then he left them be.

After all, the group of Hao Chun Birds wouldn’t remain in Maomu City forever; their appearance here was entirely because Estir sought his assistance. Though coincidentally resolving Qi Chen’s second Beast Tamer issue, Feng Yuan always suspected this wasn’t the entire group.

According to the displayed abilities of the Hao Chun Birds, their population should be considerable unless it’s a special spirit beast directly related to divine beasts, yet clearly, Hao Chun Bird doesn’t fall into this category.

"Speaking of which, it’s quite peculiar that the Hao Chun Birds were birthed due to Estir."

With a gentle pat on Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan turned to Veronia and spoke. She didn’t quite understand his meaning, throwing a puzzled look his way, saying

"What are you trying to say?"

"Could the forest undergo some special transformation? Normally, divine beasts could influence only their groups and affiliates, but the Hao Chun Birds belong to neither, yet they possess special influence over the forest."

With a soft smile, Feng Yuan voiced his curiosity, stumped by this point. After thinking for a moment, Veronia said

"That should be unlikely, unless something peculiar like a Forest Domain emerges?"

"But it might be other factors."

"Yimu Qingling?"

Feng Yuan was puzzled. It was unclear when Yimu Qingling appeared, or what matter warranted its personal visit?

"The emergence of the Hao Chun Birds holds significance similar to the meteorite you discovered before—a beginning of special power."

In human form, Yimu Qingling called over a Hao Chun Bird, gently brushing over its back. Feng Yuan furrowed his brows, gazed at Yimu Qingling and said

"What do you mean? Do they have special abilities?"

"Look."

Knowing that words alone prove nothing, Yimu Qingling smiled slightly, raised its left hand, an unusual energy dispersed, verdant light points slowly appearing—plants in this woodland seemed to come alive; Feng Yuan could even sense the wood power in this region becoming extraordinarily active.

"This is... a domain?"

Seeming to understand something, Feng Yuan gazed at Yimu Qingling with surprise, who chuckled softly and let the Hao Chun Bird fly away, saying

"Exactly, or more precisely, this is the Forest Domain’s power."

"Could this... be a new ultimate move?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan felt worried about the Hao Chun Birds. Naturally, any domain would crazily increase their value.

Understanding Feng Yuan’s concerns, Yimu Qingling gently shook its head and said

"Correct, but it’s not an exclusive ultimate move limited to a few spirit beasts. Do you remember my authority?"

"Understanding and managing the wood power in the Divine Land Region—the ultimate move might become widespread? But other spirit beasts can’t suddenly master this ultimate move, right?"

Suspiciously eyeing Yimu Qingling, Feng Yuan suspected it was teasing. With a smile, Yimu Qingling said

"Of course not. It’s not limited to just wood power; the Vermilion Bird also senses a special energy descending. In other words, because of Estir, the domain crystal that was still in gestation completed prematurely."

Saying this, Yimu Qingling extracted a green crystal and tossed it to Feng Yuan, saying

"This is the Forest Domain Crystal. Such crystals will emerge in areas rich with corresponding energies. As long as the area remains unchanged, crystals will continuously appear. Those holding this crystal can unleash the corresponding domain."

"But it must conform to its attribute."

About to grab the crystal from Feng Yuan to test it herself, Xiao Ji was visibly disappointed upon hearing Yimu Qingling’s addition, while Feng Yuan was surprised, staring at Yimu Qingling, saying

"So, the Hao Chun Birds can unleash the Forest Domain without needing a crystal?"

"Correct, but it requires strength. Good Level strength is needed; even if successful, the domain’s range won’t be vast."

"Alliance members, it was because they accidentally saw the Hao Chun Birds using the Forest Domain that they committed such foolishness before Estir."

With a slight shake of the head, Yimu Qingling said while turning to leave. It came just to explain to Feng Yuan, avoiding him blaming the Alliance. As for the Forest Domain?

That holds no significance for Feng Yuan, as he lacks spirit beasts with corresponding attributes.

Holding the green crystal, Feng Yuan said with an inexplicable expression

"I see. But if it could excite the Alliance members, the Forest Domain must be extraordinary. Well, Xiao Ji should directly grasp death... no, it’s the Underworld Domain."

Being a divine beast, Xiao Ji should inherently unleash corresponding domains without needing crystals.
