Free Web NovelChapter 2423: Chapter 2424: Empire
Facing Feng Yuan’s questioning, Agunas rarely didn’t explain. It just flicked its tail and looked at Feng Yuan. Gladys seemed to understand something from Agunas’s reaction and did not speak.
Generally speaking, Divine Beasts shouldn’t be so aggressive. What’s going on with Agunas? Gladys is not sure, but after carefully considering Agunas’s proposal, she believes it’s not a good idea.
Since it’s called The Imperial Timeline, it is naturally related to its system and environment. The entire Divine Land Region belongs to an empire in The Imperial Timeline, which means the control over the Divine Land Region is not comparable to that of the Alliance.
Infiltration under such circumstances has a high possibility of being discovered. Once discovered, they will face attacks from the entire Divine Land Region, and it’s still dangerous even with Divine Beasts accompanying.
"Sigh, never mind if you don’t want to say. As for infiltrating The Imperial Timeline to investigate... I think doing this might directly lead to war, which is unnecessary, and it might also affect the Alliance’s plans."
Waving his hand, Feng Yuan had no intention of infiltrating The Imperial Timeline according to Agunas’s suggestion. He always felt that stepping into The Imperial Timeline at this time was not a good thing and might ignite a war between the two timelines.
Feng Yuan does not want to be the one to fire the first shot, and not to mention, even now, the Alliance still hasn’t decided whether to take the initiative. Starting a war at this time might cause trouble.
"There’s something, and I don’t know if we can get an answer."
Gladys thought of something and once again spread out the cards, only this time Anna was completely involved in the divination process. The splendid starry sky descended upon this area; the power of time and fate enveloped this star-studded place, as Agunas flicked its tail and scrutinized Gladys.
The divination was quite showy this time. Not to mention the dazzling effects, just the huge energy flow was enough to make people wonder if a Divine Beast was taking action here.
Such massive energy, what exactly does the other party intend to do?
Agunas didn’t understand, and with a wave of Little Claw, the barrier of time surrounded the area to prevent those who attempted to investigate. Although there were security guards from Maomu Academy, there were also Empire Timeline spies secretly watching.
They would not overlook the presence of Gladys from this timeline. The one from The Imperial Timeline was skilled in prophecy and predicting the future. They believe the Gladys of the Main World is also proficient in this matter.
Although they have taken precautions against prophecy, they cannot guarantee that these defensive measures would be absolutely effective against an existence like Gladys.
For this reason, they naturally considered taking action against Gladys. However, as herself from a different timeline, the Gladys of The Imperial Timeline knows very well that to act against herself, one must either have immense strength or seize the right opportunity.
If not, with the ability to command prophecy and foresee the future, it’s not easy to kill her. Merely the premonition of danger is enough for her to evade most assassinations.
This is also why when the Mordan clan people from the Empire attacked Feng Yuan, they did not attack Gladys at the same time, because they could not be sure whether she would detect their action in advance.
Once discovered, if she retaliates fiercely, Gladys could definitely cause significant damage to The Imperial Timeline.
Feeling Gladys’s sudden drop in aura, Feng Yuan frowned. He knew she was using a method that comes with a cost for divination, which can forcibly break through some blocks to obtain information that normal divination cannot know, but doing so inevitably has drawbacks.
As a cost, the impact cannot be eliminated by external force. Even Feng Yuan can only eliminate it by paying double the price, but Feng Yuan would not do this.
"As expected, the Mordan clan in The Imperial Timeline controls the Mordan region, and they are also a great empire."
Looking at the cards in her hand, Gladys said with a bitter smile. Although she anticipated it, she didn’t expect the gap between the two worlds to be so vast.
"Mordan Empire? That doesn’t seem like good news."
Feng Yuan was taken aback. If the Mordan region is in the hands of the Mordan clan, it is not a good thing, at least not for them.
In the Main World, although the Mordan region shares the same name with the Mordan clan, the residents there are not solely Mordan clan people. In fact, the Mordan clan people in the Mordan region are a minority.
However, this is not the case in The Imperial Timeline, and this is troublesome. Moreover, by looking at Gladys’s performance, one can understand that even if most Mordan clan people cannot perform divination as easily as Gladys, as long as they can divine some military information, it is sufficient to inflict a tremendous blow on the Alliance.
After all, normal intelligence gathering requires sending people and avoiding being misled by false information, but divination... it’s like cheating, with a low probability of receiving false data.
Of course, divination is not without flaws, such as attempting to divine detailed information about Feng Yuan, which is highly risky and could lead to a backlash from the power of time.
No way around it, Feng Yuan’s true strength is too exaggerated, and even without intentional targeting, it is enough to severally wound snoopers.
The same goes for the Divine Beasts. At least when divining Divine Beasts, they can only seek answers with vague questions. More precise questions not only trigger a backlash but might also attract the attention of Divine Beasts.
Although Feng Yuan doesn’t think the Mordan clan would make such a mistake, even so, it’s enough for them to use divination to turn the Alliance’s intelligence inside out.
No way around it; compared to The Imperial Timeline, the number of Mordan clan people in the Main World is not that many. Even if they wanted everyone to divine information, it wouldn’t be easy.
Like this time, Gladys had to pay a price to divine whether the Mordan clan in The Imperial Timeline is part of the Empire’s high-level hierarchy, showing that divination is not a toy that can be used casually.
However, given the number of people from the Mordan clan in The Imperial Timeline, they can totally rely on taking turns to recuperate and gather a large amount of intelligence.
"Is this also a world divergence? But doesn’t this affect the overall situation?"
Agunas flicked its tail in amazement. The existence of the Mordan Empire is indeed a huge hassle, because of the special nature of the Mordan clan, the Mordan Empire’s capability in terms of time probably far exceeds that of the Alliance in the Main World.
"It shouldn’t affect it. The overall situation refers to the division of regions in each area. In The Imperial Timeline, regions have turned into empires, but the divisions haven’t changed, so there’s no effect. As for internal division into various countries, as long as they have similar divisions, there’s nothing to worry about."
After thinking about it, Feng Yuan shook his head and said that time streams and conventional parallel worlds are different. Although limited by the overall situation, this restriction is very weak in reality.
The main restrictions are in territory distribution and some very broad categories which cannot change, but in other areas, there really are no restrictions.
Therefore, the existence of seemingly completely different time streams is not a strange thing, or rather, it’s the norm.
"It’s almost a completely different world."
Flicking its tail, Agunas exclaimed with a strange expression. It didn’t expect such a big difference between The Imperial Timeline and the Main World. As for whether Feng Yuan was talking nonsense? It felt that this was unlikely.
"Troublesome fellows."
Noticing something, Agunas turned around and with a wave of Little Claw, banished those with The Imperial Timeline aura to the land of temporal stasis.
"What is it?"
Feng Yuan naturally noticed Agunas’s action and curiously asked. As for the vanished aura? It was probably people from The Imperial Timeline.
Although Feng Yuan did not sense the Empire Timeline’s aura on them, he could guess why Agunas acted as such.
"A few guys secretly monitoring wanted to take action."
Turning to look at Gladys, Agunas explained that with the weakening of Gladys’s aura, those people were getting restless, eager to strike. After all, the injury from this divination would significantly reduce Gladys’s danger premonition ability before fully recovering.
This is the best time to move, yet they overlooked Feng Yuan and Agunas nearby. Let alone anything else, the presence of Agunas alone is an insurmountable obstacle for them. Attempting to harm Gladys in front of Agunas is obviously unrealistic. freёwebnovel.com
"Secretly monitoring?"
Feng Yuan rubbed his chin, looking at Gladys. These guys, leaving them unchecked is not an option, but...
