"Have you considered how much your beast taming ultimate move’s power will increase once the Crystal Domain is stacked? Especially since you’ve mastered Domain Awakening."
Upon seeing He Nanqing, Agunas didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, surprisedly glancing at Agunas, He Nanqing shook her head and said
"It’s not just us, actually everyone has it; they can’t possibly not master Domain Awakening, even if it’s quite difficult."
"These matters are not for us to decide. Resources, regardless of the era, are things we, the leaders, cannot easily give up, aren’t they?"
"I understand, but there are better solutions."
Flicking its tail, Agunas stared coldly at He Nanqing and said, while she smiled slightly calmly
"Impossible, not just because there’s no time, but because others may not understand. The simplest yet least likely to make a major mistake way to resolve this is to let them see the huge hidden dangers in the current rules with new changes firsthand, even if..."
Agunas remained silent. It understood He Nanqing’s meaning, flicked its tail, and said
"That’s your own business, but I hope that you all won’t affect the nearby wild spirit beasts. As for them... I can’t manage that."
With that, Agunas turned around and left, watching Agunas’s departing figure for a long time, He Nanqing self-mockingly smiled.
Sometimes, she envied Фэн Юань because he didn’t need to bear such responsibility, nor did he need to do unpleasant things, but unfortunately, she couldn’t turn back now.
Фэн Юань didn’t know Agunas had approached He Nanqing. Mainly, they gradually separated while strolling around, even Tamur didn’t accompany Фэн Юань.
Holding Eggshell Chicken Xiao Ji, wandering on the hill illuminated by the lights, Фэн Юань smiled and said
"It seems it has been a long time since I’ve been alone like this."
Xiao Ji looked up, puzzled, at Фэн Юань, and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound barked reminding Фэн Юань it was there too.
With a chuckle, Фэн Юань didn’t explain. He reached out his right hand, vigorously rubbing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head as he laughed heartily and started running forward. Though the path was rough, it didn’t affect Фэн Юань.
The group wandered around Yunhuo Village for a long time, returned to He Nanqing’s arranged resting spot, and Фэн Юань and the others didn’t gather to chat but went straight to bed.
Late at night, Agunas was called out by Veronia without waiting for Agunas to inquire, Veronia turned around in human form and said to Agunas
"Do you think anything unexpected will happen during the day after tomorrow’s ritual?"
"What are you up to?!"
Originally somewhat sleepy, Agunas immediately woke up, staring at Veronia cautiously with a lowered voice, Veronia lightly chuckled and said
"What could I do? It’s just that, with him around, who knows what unexpected events might occur~"
"That’s merely a coincidence; moreover, this setup has nothing to do with them, there shouldn’t be any issues."
Flicking its tail, Agunas spoke against its own feelings. It couldn’t help but admit that, even as a coincidence, the probability was quite high, Veronia chuckled lightly and said
"You know well whether it’s a coincidence, actually, I called you here for another matter. When we separated earlier, Tamur was with me, and at that time, it suddenly said..."
"Mountains and Abyss entangled, the situation is not that simple."
Imitating Tamur’s tone, Veronia said gloomily. Agunas’s face turned somber, not thinking Veronia was joking, meaning Tamur had seen something again.
But what do Mountains and Abyss refer to?
The term could represent many things, leaving Agunas unclear about the seriousness of the situation momentarily.
Veronia looked up at the night sky and said
"I don’t know exactly what it refers to with that phrase, but I have a bad feeling, this is likely not a small matter, and moreover..."
"We ourselves may not be able to resolve it..."
Although it is unrelated to the time itself, Veronia felt an inexplicable intuition that what Tamur prophesied was not trivial, and the impact was quite significant, yet Veronia couldn’t figure out what Mountains and Abyss truly was after pondering for a long time.
Could it be a very unique place, or a special spirit beast group, or perhaps a particular human?
There are too many possibilities, and it couldn’t find an answer.
As for discussing this with Agunas, one reason was to remind it, and the other was a personal matter Veronia couldn’t figure out, there was no way Agunas could avoid it without suffering a headache for a day or two.
Flicking its tail, Agunas hadn’t considered Veronia’s "ill-intentions". Mainly, Tamur’s prophetic accuracy was exceptionally high. Although it acted like a charlatan, it could be confirmed that its prophecies generally came true.
The only issue was whether the event the prophecy referred to was significant or trivial, if trivial, they could naturally ignore it, but if grand...
Just thinking about it gave them a headache, and unlike the snickering Veronia, Agunas had much more responsibility. Now aware of such a situation, it naturally couldn’t pretend to know nothing, but preparing, where should one even start?
Veronia didn’t care what Agunas thought, as long as the headache of the matter was thrown to Agunas, it wouldn’t bother with anything~
Waking up the next day, Фэн Юань found the village rather lively, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the kind of liveliness he expected.
Locals and people from other parts of the Tea Wood Town Area gathered here, preparing for the upcoming ritual. From the scene, even though the ritual wasn’t famous externally, it was evidently significant for the Tea Wood Town Area.
Those busy naturally noticed Фэн Юань and his group but didn’t approach to investigate since the security arrangements for Yunhuo Village were made, others didn’t need or have to worry about it.
If Фэн Юань and company were sneaking in, someone would handle it; if they were outsiders here to witness, they shouldn’t be easily offended since no one knows who invited them.
"Hmm, with everyone busy, it’s not good to wander here idly."
Фэн Юань murmured, touching his chin. Although nobody would say anything, there were so many busy people now that wandering in the village would likely disturb others.
As for going outside the village?
They had already explored last night; this area hasn’t been developed for tourism, besides Yunhuo Village being crucial, it’s also related to the area’s terrain.
With solid rock and broken ground, a slight mistake could lead to falling into the cracks, and those fiery crevices aren’t easy to deal with.
Having wandered once at night, Фэн Юань didn’t want to visit a second time, mainly because nothing stood out.
Wild spirit beasts are not worth mentioning, even if they were fire attribute spirit beasts, they might not like living here despite the abundant energy, given the terrain...
Except for those that can float, even flying creatures wouldn’t enjoy it since the crevices occasionally spew chaotic air currents; if flying overhead, it might knock them down.
Thus, despite rich energy, wild spirit beasts are few, only those who can adapt to this unique environment reside here.
With no wild spirit beasts to tease and an average surrounding environment, Фэн Юань naturally had no desire to wander aimlessly. After some thought, he informed Ци Чэнь and others and directly went to his room, busying himself with something.
Ци Чэнь looked at Dou Yanlan, slightly confused, and asked
"What’s up with him?"
"Perhaps because nothing here interests him, but..."
Frowning slightly, Dou Yanlan also couldn’t understand Фэн Юань’s actions, mainly why he returned to his room.
Though this world has computers, smartphones, and even game consoles, Фэн Юань wasn’t particularly fond of gaming; during high school, to kill time, he played online games with Ци Чэнь for a while but gradually abandoned them when everyone started having beast companions.
It’s a common situation in this world; caring for one’s spirit beast alone is already quite busy, naturally not spending much time gaming. Instead, videos and the like, being possible to enjoy with spirit beasts, are more popular than games.
Now Фэн Юань returned to his room, Ци Чэнь couldn’t understand his intention. Could it really be just to take a nap?
