Free Web NovelChapter 2440: Chapter 2401: The Final Resort
The two of them silently stared at each other, suddenly Qi Chen laughed and said
"I didn’t expect them to retreat like this."
"Knowing that it can’t be done, would they still wait to die if they don’t retreat? Hmm, you, do you know their trump card?"
Feng Yuan didn’t care about this matter, after all, this attack in his view was more of a counterattack, a counterattack against what he did in the Eastern Alliance Empire.
As for escalating the conflict? He didn’t think it was likely, instead of saying it was confidence, it was a judgment after seeing the City of Time from the Mordan Empire, those people did not overlook the existence of the Divine Beasts.
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in confusion, after confirming that the other wasn’t joking, thought seriously for a long time, and said
"I’m not sure, they wouldn’t tell us this kind of thing, after all, they’re not sure if they can win us over, or should I say, we in the East Continent Great Xia aren’t worth their significant resources."
Saying this, Qi Chen showed a bitter smile, unlike the Great Xia of the Main World, the East Continent Great Xia still retains the name, but in terms of territory, it is far inferior to the Main World Great Xia, after all, they didn’t win that invasion war.
Even now, they are still striving to reclaim the lost land.
Precisely because of this, the strength of the East Continent Great Xia in the timeline of the war is not particularly strong, at least, it cannot compare with the status of the Great Xia in the Main World, not to mention because of Feng Yuan’s existence, the Great Xia in the Main World vaguely has a kind of transcendental feeling.
It’s not that their strength is strong, but that other countries don’t dare to provoke, after all, Feng Yuan can casually summon Divine Beasts to help. If Great Xia were in the wrong, it would be fine, but if they took action proactively, being besieged by a bunch of Divine Beasts summoned by Feng Yuan would make it nearly impossible to complain.
Jokingly, when Xingchan invaded and was ultimately stopped there, although it seemed that not many Divine Beasts took action, just the appearance of Lorraine Tower was intimidating enough.
Divine Beasts of Time rarely intervene in human power struggles because their means are not limited to the present, in cases deemed necessary, Divine Beasts of Time can directly modify history.
It’s precisely due to this situation that Divine Beasts of Time rarely ally closely with any country, as doing so can easily lead to making wrong choices.
However, despite this, Lorraine Tower’s warning still proved that it might help Great Xia at Feng Yuan’s invitation, which would be troublesome.
Even though Xingchan and others have Divine Beast Shelter, the Divine Beasts of Time are too unique; attacks from the historical level can be defenseless, or rather, modifying history is ineffective against Divine Beasts, but they can’t stop the comprehensive effect of historical modification on the country.
Knowing what Great Xia experienced in this world, Qi Chen thought about reminding them, after all, relying on the deterrence brought by Feng Yuan is bound to disappear one day.
But after interacting with them, Qi Chen found they hadn’t completely relied on Feng Yuan as he thought, rather, unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t even plan to rely on Divine Beasts.
Naturally, they have never relaxed vigilance on the border lines, always strengthening precautions to withstand Xingchan’s next attack.
However, no one expected, Xingchan’s attack didn’t happen, after several major events, the world war arrived instead, in such circumstances, even Xingchan dared not gather an army to invade Great Xia.
As for what comes after?
After a world war, there will inevitably be a period of peace, during which no country’s borders can be changed, this is the consensus of the Alliance and the Divine Beast Hall, also the unwritten rule after the last world war.
Whoever dares to violate, will certainly be targeted and killed by all forces.
"They won’t tell you? What is the situation in the East Continent Great Xia now? Could it be that more than half of the territory has been lost?"
Looking at Qi Chen in surprise, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask, mainly because based on Qi Chen’s strength, the opposing force should be similar to Great Xia’s, at least, it’s sectional.
Great Xia can rank in the Divine Land Region, if the territory hadn’t been severely lost, Feng Yuan didn’t think the other party would say so.
After all, the time tributaries don’t have Divine Beasts, thus lacking hidden strength influenced by Divine Beasts.
"Almost, although they just reclaimed the Luoshan Region, overall, it’s just half of yours."
Sighing, Qi Chen shook his head and said, this is not something that can’t be said, or rather, Great Xia already knows the situation of the East Continent Great Xia, after all, alliance is impossible if even basic information is concealed.
Hearing Qi Chen say this, Feng Yuan roughly understood that the other party might really not know, smiled, and glanced at the sky saying
"Then you might regret it."
"Do you know what I saw in the Mordan Empire? The City of Time, their trump card, is probably something similar to the City of Time."
"The City of Time?"
Looking at Feng Yuan in confusion, Qi Chen didn’t understand the meaning, after all, the term sounds related to time, but he couldn’t understand what was special about it.
"Hmm, the extreme of Divine Beast Technique, almost everlasting Divine Beast Technique, is also the strongest power the Divine Beasts can exhibit, the City of Time is a unique Divine Beast Technique of the Time Series Divine Beasts."
"As for its effect, it can form an independent space-time zone, offering Divine Beast Level time-series immune protection as well as other means, in a sense, it can be regarded as a Time Series Divine Beast."
"I believe other empires certainly have similar means as well."
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a half-smile, Feng Yuan didn’t continue speaking, exchanging glances, Qi Chen suddenly chuckled saying
"Why do you probe me? I’m merely an Envoy following orders; whether the two sides cooperate is not something I can decide."
"But you can influence it, and I’m curious, knowing this, what would you choose?"
Looking at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan’s face revealed no thoughts, Qi Chen softly laughed and stared into Feng Yuan’s eyes saying
"Still alliance, not because of you, but because your world, it is the Main World, right?"
"Even if we want to occupy, we are ultimately not the life of the Main World, can we really occupy this world? Or say, even if the war and the empire join forces, can they really occupy the Main World?"
"Hmm, I didn’t expect you to discover it, no, actually they aren’t aware of it, this secret is only known to me, right, Agunas."
With a mysterious smile, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas, the other flicked its tail and said
"We will prevent you from doing so, even if you join forces, you may not surpass us, we will not allow outsiders to massively occupy the lands of the Main World."
"May I know what the ultimate strategy is?"
Qi Chen curiously looked at Feng Yuan, though Agunas implied the Divine Beasts would fully prevent them, Qi Chen had a vague intuition that the truly terrifying was not the Divine Beast, but what Feng Yuan mentioned.
"Hmm, actually, it’s very simple, time tributaries are born of the Main Timeline, under no circumstances are time tributaries allowed to replace the Main Timeline because this involves records in the Yin World. If you really luckily defeat the Divine Beasts and occupy large territories of the Main Timeline, the Yin World will thus judge that the Yang World has entered destruction."
With a shrug, Feng Yuan didn’t keep secrets, this remark, instead of directing Qi Chen, was more of a warning to Agunas and the others.
Listening to Feng Yuan, Agunas’s face changed, although Feng Yuan didn’t finish, it already knew what would happen next.
If the Yang World is judged to enter destruction, the Yin World will naturally rebuild the Yang World according to the rules, however, this reconstruction wouldn’t be based on recent records.
"Quite a shocking trump card, with this matter, they can’t slack off."
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, it didn’t doubt Feng Yuan was speaking nonsense, jokingly, such things, Feng Yuan would certainly not joke around, moreover, this possibility fully exists.
After all, the time tributaries don’t have Divine Beasts, which is already a very special situation, not to mention, the birth of time tributaries completely relies on the Main World, compared to the Main World, time tributaries are semi-fictitious existence.
The result of semi-fictitious existence replacing the entity that births this projection always appears somewhat strange.
"Mutual Destruction?"
Qi Chen didn’t know about the Yin World, but he could guess what Feng Yuan left unsaid.
"Doesn’t count as Mutual Destruction, it’s just resetting the world, but this reset will definitely exclude time tributaries completely."
Feng Yuan said spreading his hands, the Yin World won’t rigidly restore the Yang World, but before the restoration, it would exclude all factors causing collapse, so accurately speaking, it might not be Mutual Destruction, rather more likely clearing time tributaries completely.
