Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 212 Sea of Suffering_1

"Do these guys not care about others at all!"

Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji, who had returned to his original form, and said helplessly with a shake of his head,

"Don’t forget about the Transcend Sect; back then, the two sects would often fight in crowded places. Compared to them, these guys are already much better, okay?"

Remembering the deeds of the Transcend Sect, Yang Hong sighed and said,

"Thank goodness you later made another historical revision, otherwise, it would have been a big problem."

"It was just a moment of compassion, plus Agunas happened to be there, so I simply helped him out; otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to use my powers now."

"Sorry."

"Eh?! Captain Yang, you’re here?"

Turning his head, Feng Yuan saw Captain Yang looking at him with an apologetic expression and felt somewhat puzzled. Yang Hong narrowed his eyes and stared at Captain Yang, saying,

"Why are you apologizing?!"

Without further explanation, Captain Yang glanced at Yang Hong and said,

"I’m just apologizing for the Divine Descent Technique incident; you’re too sensitive."

"You’re the reason I have to be careful!"

Heaving a sigh, Captain Yang didn’t elaborate and looked towards Feng Yuan, asking,

"Has the White Wolf Deity or Lorraine Tower arrived?"

"No, I sent Agunas to check out the situation here. If there is indeed a temporal correction, Agunas would be more likely to discover any clues than them." freeweɓnøvel.com

"Agunas... a Divine Beast I’ve never heard of..."

Looking at Feng Yuan with a complex expression, Captain Yang watched as Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, smiled and said,

"There are so many Divine Beasts that have had no contact with humans; what you know are only those that have interacted with people."

"Come with me, this place isn’t very safe."

Looking at the burning sky in the distance, Captain Yang said to the two of them, and Feng Yuan could sense the suppressed anger in his tone. Following Captain Yang into a residential house, Feng Yuan saw only two or three plainclothes policemen and said with some confusion,

"Is this all the people you have?"

As Captain Yang collected some papers lying around on a table with a sigh, he said,

"I haven’t received assistance from headquarters yet, so I can only arrange for my own squad to investigate."

"Still thinking about getting the item from the Forest Temple?"

Feng Yuan sneered while speaking, and Captain Yang sighed deeply, looking at Feng Yuan intently, saying,

"Not everyone is obsessed with such things."

"But indeed there are people who think that way, aren’t there?"

"Although what you’re saying is true, the local refusal of intervention from higher-ups is also a reason."

"Local refusal?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking puzzled, Captain Yang hesitated for a moment before saying,

"The Forest Temple has rejected help from above, claiming it’s an internal issue."

"That’s strange; what’s the point of them doing this?"

"I don’t know. We are also investigating this matter."

Looking around, Feng Yuan went to the sofa, put Xiao Ji down, and lay on the sofa, saying,

"Now we just wait for the results of Agunas’s investigation. Although I don’t think it’s a problem with the pseudo-World Clock, I’m not sure what the situation is now..."

"If the investigation results come back and it’s not the pseudo-World Clock, you should just go back."

"Eh? You’re cutting off ties after crossing the river! Getting me curious and then sending me back."

Gazing at Feng Yuan lying on the sofa, stroking Xiao Ji’s belly with his hand, Captain Yang said calmly,

"Luo’an City is not very peaceful right now; what do you plan to do by staying here?"

"The root of the epidemic... I don’t believe that those people would attack the Forest Temple for no reason, and their attitude is also very strange."

"Those people call themselves Liberators, and based on rumors they heard from who knows where, they believe there’s a mysterious lake beneath the Forest Temple. The water from the lake can cause all Spirit Beasts to evolve and ascend."

"All Spirit Beasts?"

Yang Hong, who had been silent until now, said with surprise, and Captain Yang nodded, saying,

"According to the information we’ve gathered, that’s the case."

"Captain!"

"It’s fine, there’s no harm in telling them this information, and..."

Captain Yang said, his gaze firmly fixed on Feng Yuan,

"You’re not referring to the manager of the Forest Temple, are you?"

"It is indeed the manager, but..."

Just as Feng Yuan hesitated about how to explain, Agunas appeared in front of him with a blink, looked at Feng Yuan, and shook his head.

"You didn’t find any signs of time correction?"

Seeing Agunas nod, Feng Yuan sat up straight, pinching his chin and pondering for a while before saying,

"So, it should have nothing to do with the false World Clock, Agunas, can you access the historical information of Luo’an City?"

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, shook his head, flicked his tail dismissively, and floated in the air, flipping through the book in his hands, occasionally jotting down something with the pen he held. Feng Yuan scratched his head, saying with some helplessness,

"I forgot that you can’t do that now."

"Since it’s unrelated to the false World Clock, you should go rest upstairs. We’ll leave by car tomorrow morning."

"What if I say I want to stay here?"

"No! Auxiliary members and students are not allowed to participate in such dangerous affairs without good reason!"

After a long argument with Captain Yang and realizing he couldn’t persuade him, Feng Yuan reluctantly followed Yang Hongzhi upstairs. Once upstairs, seeing Feng Yuan leaning on the windowsill and looking around, Yang Hongzhi said with some curiosity,

"What’s gotten into you today?"

"I find its attitude very strange; there must be something I’m not aware of involved in this, and..."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan looked up at the night sky and said in a low voice,

"How exactly did the news of the Sea of Suffering spread..."

"The Sea of Suffering?"

"Ha, the lake water that can elevate and evolve all Spirit Beasts, and it’s even within Luo’an City. Other than the Sea of Suffering, I can’t think of anything else."

"Is there really something so miraculous? But why the name..."

Turning to face a somewhat puzzled Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Do you want to try it too?"

"No, I don’t believe there’s such a good thing."

"You do understand. That thing is no good commodity; whoever is promoting it doesn’t have good intentions, but..."

Looking at the starry sky, Feng Yuan said, baffled,

"Logically, aside from those ancient beings, no one else should know about it, why..."

"Was it revealed by those ancient beings?"

"Impossible, those who know about that thing understand how dangerous it is; if we’re not careful, the whole Luo’an City could be doomed."

"If it’s so dangerous, why not destroy it?"

"They can’t destroy it, and also because of a promise... an ancient promise..."

Feng Yuan sighed with a sense of helplessness. Picking up Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sat on the bed and looked at Yang Hongzhi and said,

"Do you plan to go back tomorrow?"

"Are you planning to stubbornly stay here?"

"That’s not it; I just want to satisfy my curiosity."

Yang Hongzhi sighed and looking at Najia said,

"You bring Najia back with you tomorrow."

"Aren’t you going back?"

"I want to investigate the cause of this issue. If we just let the conflict continue..."

Yang Hongzhi said, clenching his fist and gritting his teeth as if anger was building up inside him. Najia, standing on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, gently patted him. Yang Hongzhi looked at Najia and shook his head with a bitter smile. Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"It’s obvious someone is sabotaging things, or why would the target be directed at the Sea of Suffering of the Forest Temple? Let’s hope they don’t find that damned thing..."

"What would happen if it were found?"

Although Yang Hongzhi felt that the thing might be dangerous, he still needed to confirm it with Feng Yuan. Lying on the bed, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"I’m not very clear on what exactly would happen if it were discovered. Although the Sea of Suffering is repulsive, maybe some strange Spirit Beast might be able to counter it. Still, should a disaster break out, destroying the entire Luo’an City would be entirely possible."

"No way, I’d better stay tomorrow; otherwise, leaving you alone to investigate here would be too dangerous."

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Hongzhi didn’t try to argue. After all, if the Sea of Suffering was dangerous, having Feng Yuan, who knew about it, around could prevent some problems.
