"Well, how should I put it, although the Qi Realm Timeline is the third time branch that has already emerged, its situation is somewhat special..."
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan briefly introduced the situation of the Qi Realm Timeline. This matter wasn’t a secret among the higher-ups, since he had already reported the relevant information long ago. The only reason Zhou Weijun didn’t know was simply because he hadn’t reached that level yet.
Besides the unlikely possibility of the Qi Realm Timeline initiating an attack, another reason is that countries currently have no intention towards the Qi Realm Timeline. Regardless of being a war fanatic, it’s unlikely anyone would choose to declare war on the Qi Realm Timeline at this moment since, with the current military forces of the Main World, it’s simply impossible to fight them.
As for the protection of Qi Realm? Many countries are indeed questioning whether Feng Yuan exaggerated, since without witnessing it firsthand, it’s hard for them to believe Feng Yuan’s description.
They also don’t believe the Qi Realm Timeline possesses such exaggerated self-defense power, but due to distance and the ongoing unresolved issues with the Empire and War, they temporarily have no thoughts of attacking the Qi Realm Timeline.
"I didn’t expect there’d be such a thing, but if the Qi Realm Timeline basically has no possibility of actively attacking, shouldn’t we consider forming an alliance with them? At least... there’s no need to make the whole world our enemy, right?"
Zhou Weijun was a bit surprised and said. He truly hadn’t expected that apart from War and the Empire, there existed a third Parallel World. Feng Yuan heard this and shook his head, saying
"Not everyone thinks that way. For them, it’s just another Ascension Stone. Although the Main World cannot bear so many Legendary Level Beastmasters, yet..."
"Afraid of the power held by the United Army crushing them, leading to chaotic competition? That’s really..."
Sighing, Zhou Weijun understood Feng Yuan’s meaning. This was not a difficult thing to figure out; it can be said that previously, Great Xia had even faced threats of war from neighboring nations.
It’s just that after many events unfolded later, everyone’s focus is no longer on that. However, this doesn’t mean wars won’t break out, no, accurately speaking, it’s the civil war within the Main World.
Unbalanced power will definitely become a trigger to ignite this civil war at some point.
Zhou Weijun hoped this would never happen, as the civil war is meaningless and would only add to the casualties. However, he understood that this isn’t something human efforts can prevent.
As long as there are ambitious individuals, this is bound to happen, and no one can stop it.
"Sigh, thought that after solving the Imperial issue, there would finally be some peace, yet..."
Sighing, Zhou Weijun shook his head and looked at the river. He hadn’t expected to receive such bad news from Feng Yuan, chuckling as Feng Yuan shrugged and said
"Maybe Great Xia will become quieter for a while, after all, those guys will push themselves to the front lines for more Ascension Stones."
If Ascension Stones were distributed by humans or Divine Beasts, it would be easier to say. After all, wherever there’s emotion, there’s a possibility to exploit loopholes. However, that thing is given by the operation of world rules itself; the world is merciless, not a joke. Exploiting loopholes in world rules? Nice idea, but the consequences would be unpredictable.
Maybe world rules won’t care, but they could also incite divine fury for punishment. The unpredictability of divine action isn’t merely empty talk. Therefore, as long as it involves the operation of world rules, humans generally dare not attempt to exploit loopholes, fearing that they’d inadvertently trap themselves.
It is precisely for this reason that those guys wanting to grab more Ascension Stones must personally charge ahead. As for deceiving others to take the lead so they themselves can reap the benefits?
Nice idea, but you can’t fool the world rules itself, otherwise, it wouldn’t be that all factions are gathered at the Imperial Timeline making a mess.
"I don’t care about them, and I believe others don’t either. However, their actions will definitely drag the entire Main World underwater, and that’s..."
Sighing, Zhou Weijun looked utterly helpless. He really had no interest in worrying about those messy factions, but what he worried about was them initiating war and dragging the United Army down with them.
After all, in the eyes of people from other worlds, they are one entity. If one side declares war, the others claiming innocence, they wouldn’t believe it.
"Whether they’ll get dragged down is hard to say, but once the Empire is eliminated, who knows if new time branches will emerge."
Shaking his head slightly, Feng Yuan stood up and said
"Is there dessert offered on the ship?"
"Hmm? It’s over there in the hall, a three-tier dessert banquet, help yourself."
Zhou Weijun was startled by Feng Yuan’s awkward change of topic. He hadn’t expected Feng Yuan’s switch from worrying about national affairs to suddenly concerning himself with desserts.
Chuckling, Feng Yuan said
"I’ll just grab something to eat then~"
Agunas looked helplessly at Feng Yuan escaping hastily; this guy was truly disrupting the atmosphere. All the guests here were to relax, yet knowing such news, how could they truly relax?
Feng Yuan realized this situation, hence his sudden departure. Of course, Zhou Weijun soon understood but bore no intention of blaming Feng Yuan.
Because without Feng Yuan explaining, he could only wait a very long while to know, and about living and laughing foolishly?
Thinking of those sacrificed companions, he sighed.
"These little desserts are quite exquisite, but the quantity is somewhat sparse, isn’t it?"
Looking at the various handmade desserts filling the three-tiered stand, Veronia spoke, Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and replied irritably
"It’s only the individual amount that’s small, but the total quantity is by no means small; I even feel there might be a lot wasted."
Apart from him, most of the invited guests were middle-aged or approaching middle-aged Beastmasters; they likely couldn’t eat too many desserts.
"So you’re reluctantly helping them finish everything, huh?"
Sneaking a glance at Feng Yuan, Veronia smiled lightly. Chuckling, Feng Yuan said indifferently
"Otherwise, it’d be a waste~ Would you like to eat some?"
Saying this, Feng Yuan casually picked up two desserts and stuffed them into Xiao Ji’s and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s mouths. Enjoying the treats, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog even forgot to maintain its size, returning to its original form.
Luckily, the hall was spacious enough, otherwise its sudden growth might have caused trouble.
Agunas flicked its tail, not joining the dessert-eating group. Though it was back and no longer needed to manage too much about the United Army, to avoid being dragged back into war, it couldn’t completely ignore the human side of affairs.
Especially concerning War Qi Chen’s affiliation with the East Continent Great Xia. To Agunas, forming alliances was indeed possible with them, but it also had to prevent them from backstabbing the Main World, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Moreover, during the United Army’s operations, many issues were postponed without being addressed; Agunas truly couldn’t spare any energy to mess around with Feng Yuan at the moment.
Fortunately, Feng Yuan didn’t mind this aspect, knowing also that Agunas couldn’t rest easy now with many matters waiting for it at the United Army.
"Let’s settle for these then~"
Carrying a tray, Feng Yuan chuckled, looking at the tray stacked with dessert like a mountain, Veronia hummed lightly and said
"Don’t accidentally let it topple over."
"As if~"
Spinning the tray like a basketball on his fingertip, Feng Yuan laughed smugly, while Tamur glanced at Feng Yuan, shaking slightly and said
"Time Freeze."
Although this wasn’t Xiao Ji’s power, time’s power is rather evident. Feng Yuan firmly fixed the time flow of the desserts on the tray, securing them tightly on the tray.
"You really are messing around."
Veronia chuckled lightly, voicing her thoughts. Watching how he played around, she naturally recognized it, thinking it was entirely unnecessary; after all, simple spatial techniques could easily stabilize the food without resorting to more complicated temporal ones.
"Hehe~ Going back and forth for stuff is troublesome~"
Smiling proudly, Feng Yuan lightly patted Xiao Ji’s wings and said
"Come on, eating while enjoying the breeze is much better than stuffing yourself indoors~"
Nibbling on a dessert, Xiao Ji hurriedly followed Feng Yuan, while the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, glancing between Feng Yuan and the desserts, hesitated for a moment before grabbing a tray, rapidly stuffing its desserts inside it, and carrying it to chase after.
"What’s this?"
Still on the deck, Zhou Weijun saw Feng Yuan walking out with a tray of desserts, somewhat surprised and scrutinized him. Chuckling, Feng Yuan said
"It’s too stuffy inside~"
With a humorous shake of the head, Zhou Weijun looked at the direction the ship was heading and said
"If it’s for good food, the Fairy Tale Island ahead should let you eat to your heart’s content, why stuff yourself here first?"
"Fairy Tale Island?"
