Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2471: Chapter 2472: Chaos on All Sides

Compared to Bai You, War Qi Chen thought more deeply; his face gradually turned pale, as if he could already see the river of blood in the war timeline, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

"No!"

Clutching his head, War Qi Chen let out a low growl like an injured beast. Feng Yuan looked at War Qi Chen and asked worriedly,

"Are you okay?"

"I... Damn it! Why is it like this?"

With his head lowered and bloodshot eyes fixed on the ground, War Qi Chen wailed, while Qi Chen looked at Dou Yanlan puzzled; even if it was himself from a different timeline, he couldn’t guess why the reaction was like this.

"Different time streams hold different runes. In order to gather all the runes, an open and clandestine struggle is inevitable, and even countries without runes might not escape this turmoil."

Thinking of something, Dou Yanlan slowly spoke. She could vaguely guess what War Qi Chen from the war timeline had gone through, and precisely because of this, she hoped their Main World wouldn’t experience something similar.

Based on this, Dou Yanlan easily guessed the reason for War Qi Chen’s unusual reaction, but she didn’t dare make things too clear in front of War Qi Chen.

"It seems it’s not just about this; Long Boduo, please mention this suspicion in the Divine Beast intelligence network—not once, but several times, reminding each Divine Beast to pay attention to this matter and avoid the Empire timeline gathering the Anti-Divine Beast Runes."

With a cold smile, Feng Yuan spoke with malice. Long Boduo felt something was wrong but couldn’t see the problem. Reminding other Divine Beasts seemed correct; otherwise, if the Empire or the war timeline gathered Anti-Divine Beast Runes and made Apocalypse Palom Runes, it would be troublesome.

According to Feng Yuan, mastering Apocalypse Palom Runes could at least match the Divine Beasts, which is not a good thing.

Najia, unlike Long Boduo, had interacted a lot with humans and knew their evils. After a moment, Najia figured out Feng Yuan’s intention. Looking at Feng Yuan, Najia said with a hint of astonishment,

"Aren’t you afraid of losing control?"

"It’s not like they’re going to attack anyway; might as well give them a reason so those guys stop focusing only inwardly."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan responded frankly. This was his transparent strategy; even if known, what could those guys do about it? Given the current situation, those guys couldn’t possibly unite to fight against the Empire timeline invasion. Better to give them something to do, rather than risk them causing trouble at the rear.

From the beginning, Feng Yuan didn’t see those unwilling-to-act nations as backup forces; hoping for them was less reliable than hoping for a miracle.

Now, it was apt to give them something to do, lest one day they foolishly cause a fire in the back yard. Although Feng Yuan didn’t intend to intervene in this war and couldn’t interfere, he could do what he could.

"You really are confident."

Bai You coldly remarked to Feng Yuan, who chuckled and said,

"What else? Existences akin to Old Wei do exist, but those guys are reluctant to exert effort without profit."

Although Old Wei was special, other forces had their own trump cards, but they acted dead without benefits. With Anti-Divine Beast Runes now, Feng Yuan believed someone would inevitably make a move.

As for whether obtaining Anti-Divine Beast Runes would trigger disasters in the Main World, Feng Yuan felt the possibility was low. After all, this was their homeland, and unless mad, they wouldn’t use that thing to blast their home into ruins.

Power shifts are secondary; the Main World inherently has Divine Pact Makers, and Anti-Divine Beast Runes don’t hold absolute sway like they do in time streams.

As long as they don’t create Apocalypse Palom Runes, Feng Yuan believed those Divine Beasts would closely monitor the matter, ensuring no one could piece it together.

Even so, Anti-Divine Beast Runes are considered a worthwhile gamble by many nations; the only issue is doing this would prevent them from forming a unified alliance against the Empire timeline invasion.

But in Feng Yuan’s view, given the circumstances, relying on that was less feasible than directing them to trouble the two time streams.

"This counts as encouraging war, doesn’t it?"

War Qi Chen, having recovered, told Feng Yuan helplessly. Qi Chen’s group may not understand, but he surely did. The Anti-Divine Beast Rune, once equated with the Divine Beasts, was something those poised to profit couldn’t resist.

Doesn’t he worry about this causing the Main World’s defenses to collapse? Even with those Divine Beasts’ help, they couldn’t possibly handle an assault by two time streams simultaneously.

"Not my problem. I’m just getting those immobile guys moving. After the Empire timeline’s recent move, I don’t think they’ll tolerate this any longer. This time, they’re definitely planning an attack."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said. Regardless, Great Xia definitely wouldn’t want to take this loss quietly. Plus, this news could disrupt the Empire timeline’s plans.

Mere defense presents such troubles; you prepare, they prepare too, and might plan even better tactics against you. But relying solely on Great Xia and other nations, they might fall into a disadvantage opening the war hastily.

At this moment, those vying for Anti-Divine Beast Runes will play a role; Feng Yuan had no doubts about their capabilities, or they wouldn’t dare wait at the back for profits without enough strength.

War Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, then at himself from this time and space, shaking his head helplessly. Feng Yuan’s thoughts were clear, but evidently, his counterpart in this timeline hadn’t figured it out.

As Long Boduo followed Feng Yuan’s arrangement and shared the information in the Divine Beast intelligence network, many Divine Beasts felt something was off, knowing some among them had deep ties with those guys.

Yet upon reflection, it seemed of no harm. After all, they couldn’t rely on those guys anyway, so keeping them occupied wasn’t bad.

"Are the Anti-Divine Beast Runes incomplete? This should be Feng Yuan’s intention. Long Boduo doesn’t seem aware of the seismic impact of the message,"

Veronia, sitting on Rainbow Bubbles, said to Agunas. Due to Baiman City’s disaster, it stayed behind to help guard until the relief ended.

Despite Baiman City being relatively fortunate compared to other cities, Veronia had no ties to others and naturally wouldn’t help, and choosing to stay was mainly for Feng Yuan’s sake.

"Doing this could trigger uncontrollable changes, but at this moment, it seems a viable solution,"

Agunas wagged its tail, expressing it too had sensed issues. Currently, the Main World was entirely led by the Empire timeline; rather than just waiting it out, creating unexpected problems might better trouble them.

Agunas suspected the Empire timeline hadn’t planned a counter against the Anti-Divine Beast Rune scramble, especially doubting the Main World would strike through the war timeline.

Indeed, compared with the already engaged Empire timeline, Agunas believed it was likelier they’d target the war timeline, as the latter’s defenses might not be as strong.

As for influencing the Empire timeline, if they intended to create Apocalypse Runes, they had to act against the war timeline; for now, they merely sought to use it.

Should it be seized, it would spell trouble for the Empire timeline, for their desired Main World showdown needs Apocalypse Runes; without them, their chances are slim.

As for their collusion with the war timeline, Feng Yuan sensed it as a conspiracy against it, though its effectiveness remained uncertain.

War isn’t kind, never banning any strategy, so the Empire timeline’s tactics might even be leftovers from others.

With those Main World actors intervening, Feng Yuan felt the war timeline might fall into chaos as well.

However, this incident was beneficial, relieving them from constantly worrying about a war timeline ambush.
