Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2746: Chapter 2747: Hidden Peril
As for canyon exploration, even Liao Yu seems to know little information; according to the other’s statement, Maomu City invited quite a few people to assist this time with the canyon exploration activity, so it is somewhat worth looking forward to.
Feng Yuan doesn’t know what kind of good things they can produce in just a few days. He doesn’t believe these were things Maomu City had prepared long ago. To say nothing else, just the word exploration means that this stuff could only have been designed in the last couple of days.
Otherwise, the simply vast average strength gap would be enough to turn the so-called exploration into a joke.
Even if the others haven’t considered Feng Yuan’s exaggerated fluctuations in strength, the current situation is this: a bunch of Legendary Level Beastmasters, once not commonly seen, have suddenly appeared in large numbers. It is certain that many Beastmasters participating in the canyon exploration will definitely be of Legendary Level.
This doesn’t even consider the United Army soldiers returning from the front lines. Even Maomu City has stationed troops participating in United Army activities. With the front-line battles paused, they are sure to return to their original stations.
As for the area now changed to the East Continent United Continent? There is, of course, a dedicated team stationed there. Before the resource distribution is complete, all forces apart from Divine Beasts participating in the United Army will leave behind a batch of troops until the resource distribution among the East Continent United Continent is complete, then withdraw depending on the situation.
They are not only discussing how to allocate the new continent’s resources but also deliberating how each side will defend and other troubling matters. At least, short term results are unlikely.
Of course, they don’t need to leave all forces in The Imperial Timeline because the next day already saw impatient forces begin entering The Imperial Timeline. Their goal is clear: to seize The Imperial Timeline’s last visible Ascension Stone.
No choice, compared to the United Army, where everyone gets one Ascension Stone, other forces that did not participate in the action face difficult days ahead, as the gap in mid-stream pillars like Legendary Level Beastmasters is too large between both sides.
To recover from the disadvantage and avoid falling into a trap, various forces are going all out. If they cannot redeem themselves with the second Ascension Stone, they are at risk.
Thus, the United Army is now celebrating their rare victory with song and dance, while the many forces not involved with the United Army are busy preparing for war.
"Those forces were watching the show earlier; now it’s their turn to suffer."
After dinner, Qi Chen and the others were in the living room watching TV and chatting. Feng Yuan did not return to the school dormitory either.
In this situation, Feng Yuan isn’t worried about those guys attacking again; the current circumstances likely have those people overwhelmed, unable to attack the United Army’s territory.
Aside from anything else, the soldiers returning from the front lines are nearly all of Legendary Level Beastmaster strength, which is outrageous regardless of where it happens. Just now the United Army needs rest, and other forces do not allow the United Army to strike again, or who knows, with this army of Legendary Level, they might seize another piece of land.
But now that numerous forces are watching, they can’t make a move, especially since even with Divine Beasts supporting, the United Army suffered casualties, not to mention the Divine Beasts won’t intervene next.
"Facing two enemies without Divine Beast help, perhaps..."
Qi Chen tried to analyze, but his father cleared his throat helplessly and said,
"Your inference was wrong from the start, they aren’t facing two enemies."
"Huh? But, the Imperial People plan to attack, it isn’t likely they would choose a United Army country. After the Ascension Stone incident, coming to disturb again would be costly."
Watching the magnificent lineup of Legendary Level Beastmaster troops on TV being inspected, Qi Chen was full of confusion, thinking the Imperial People shouldn’t be insane, since even without Divine Beast assistance, the United Army facing the Imperial People isn’t fearful.
Faced with Qi Chen’s seeking gaze, Feng Yuan rolled his eyes without explanation; on the side, Veronia thought of something and said,
"It might not go as you wish, although the Mordan Empire is in ruins, and the East Continent Great Xia Alliance Empire has collapsed, the remaining empire isn’t entirely powerless."
"And if they concentrate their forces to forcibly occupy a small piece of land in the Main World, what then?"
"We wouldn’t just watch them do that."
Qi Chen’s father said sternly to Veronia, humming lightly, as Veronia changed to a more comfortable position sitting on a colorful bubble and said,
"Not necessarily, you humans don’t have strong control over the wild; if they secretly plant seeds of revenge in the Main World while you’re not paying attention?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Veronia’s words, Qi Chen’s father was speechless. He, like military personnel, was accustomed to not relying on Divine Beasts, or unless absolutely necessary, wouldn’t easily depend on Divine Beasts for assistance.
Can humanity alone prevent this from happening?
The answer is impossible, not because he looks down on humans, but because the wild areas outside human control account for over 60% of the total land, and those wilderness areas don’t receive Temple Shelter.
Though the Temple Shelter seems to be divided by the administrative division of the city it belongs to, covering the surrounding wilderness as well while dividing the protection range.
However, not all areas have temple coverage, and each temple has a limit to its protection range; once this limit is reached, even the city’s jurisdiction that goes beyond isn’t in the shelter range.
Furthermore, many cities don’t have temples, making it possible for Imperial People to sneak in.
At least when the other side invades openly, they can detect it. If they sneak in quietly, it might be difficult for mere humans to discover their traces.
"If they don’t start an attack, it’s fine. After all, Divine Beasts are hurdles they cannot pass; attacking, well, finding the people wouldn’t be that hard."
Feng Yuan didn’t agree with Veronia’s statement that Imperial People sneaking in without being found means they must hide themselves and not take action. In Feng Yuan’s view, if that’s the case, there’s no need for a pursuit.
He doesn’t have the idea of eradicating them completely, certainly, the people in the Main World may not think alike, though.
Since the other side caused such a huge massacre in the Main World, reconciliation now is absolutely unacceptable; as for Feng Yuan? He’s long used to it, as wars ultimately revert to interests, and the enmity between both sides...
Often that’s a convoluted mess, better to think of ways to get more benefits for the force to which one belongs.
It’s not impossible for the opposite side to recreate previous attacks but doing so would surely expose their hiding place. Is it worth it? Feng Yuan can’t say for sure.
"It sounds passive, but... that’s probably the only way for now."
Qi Chen’s father naturally heard the hidden dangers in Feng Yuan’s plan, which essentially hands the initiative to start a strike over to the Imperial People, which is not good for civilians.
But then again, humans truly have no good method to uncover Imperial People intentionally hidden in the wild.
Not to mention, aren’t those illegal forces like this? Hard to find hiding places, plus the harm isn’t great temporarily, they can only play whack-a-mole, striking with a club whenever the opponent peeks out. But if the opponent decides on staying hidden, there’s really no method.
"Is there no better way?"
Qi Chen, with innocence, looked at his father, then at Feng Yuan, Veronia snickered and said,
"Unless we Divine Beasts act, otherwise, while extinguishing The Imperial Timeline, have people search all outdoor areas simultaneously, including various strange Secret Realms, Subspace, and other places."
If it’s just the wild, it’s manageable, yet Subspace and Secret Realms are places even Divine Beasts don’t easily detect.
Of course, Divine Beasts naturally have other means for tracking; not mentioning that the Authority of Time can easily track these beings crossing time, though it’s a bit troublesome.
"Therefore, basically no chance to prevent, but they also might not do it. If really concerned, you might appeal to those leisurely Legendary Level Beastmasters to stroll the wild, perhaps luckily find some Legendary resources?"
With a relaxed smile, Feng Yuan said calmly, not too worried about Imperial Timeline people hiding in the Main World, not to mention the explosion of Legendary Level Beastmasters in the Main World, meaning the opposite side won’t easily create bloodshed as before.
"What you said makes sense."
Qi Chen’s father said, getting up directly. Moments later, his mother Xiao Shuang, who was helping in the kitchen with dishwashing, puzzled came out and asked Qi Xiaoshuang,
"Mom, where’s Dad heading to at this late hour?"
