Chapter 2670 - 2671: Dawn

The Qi Realm didn’t bring too much change to Feng Yuan’s vacation life. After submitting the materials, Feng Yuan didn’t care about the follow-up matters at all; there’s no way around it, as how to handle it has nothing to do with him.

After all, compared to the initial Qi Realm stance, this stuff is much more dangerous. The only good thing is that without the Qi Realm stance, one can’t break into the Qi Realm Maze.

Although that place is a test given to humans by the Qi Realm, in Feng Yuan’s eyes, it’s too dangerous. At least for now, humans facing war really don’t have the energy to study that stuff.

In terms of benefits, after considering the negative effects and limitations, the strength enhancement from the Qi Realm stance isn’t particularly high, at least not a high priority.

After organizing the materials, Feng Yuan submitted them and then left the room to wander around Bian Shui Fort. Perhaps it’s because there’s nothing worth fighting for in the Cha Mu Town area, so this attack didn’t really affect Bian Shui Fort or the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, because battles could erupt at any time, people in Bian Shui Fort didn’t dare to go farming. After all, if a battle really broke out in the Cha Mu Town area, the opponents certainly wouldn’t consider those things, and the environment would definitely be destroyed.

Even if this round didn’t directly hit the Cha Mu Town area, the news from other attacked sites still frightened them. The Imperial People used stolen Divine Artifacts this time, increasing their destructive power considerably with the Anti-Divine Beast Runes.

If it weren’t for the Divine Beasts—especially the many involved United Army Divine Beasts—the reported casualties and loss data each day would have been doubled.

"It’s really fortunate they attacked towards Kui Shan Town; it would be problematic if they had aimed at Maomu City."

Strolling by the stream, Feng Yuan casually remarked with his hands behind his head. When submitting the materials, he also took a moment to glance at the latest news. The Qi Realm Maze hadn’t made any waves; everyone’s attention remained on the Empire’s counterattack.

No way around it, the Imperial People’s attack caused massive losses to the Main World, and even though the assault continued, the Imperial People continued to introduce new forces and weapons to expand and disrupt the United Army’s rear.

Unfortunately, due to the joint efforts of many Divine Beasts, this destruction isn’t very effective. Meanwhile, the various countries not part of the United Army fared quite miserably in this attack.

No choice, they could only rely on the Divine Beasts behind their nations to resist the Imperial People’s attacks. Many Divine Beasts only lent aid because the United Army was attacking The Imperial Timeline; the neutral Divine Beasts weren’t willing to help with a conflict they weren’t involved in.

"I doubt they have the leisure to attack Maomu City. This operation was clearly meant to force the United Army to retreat, but it doesn’t seem very effective."

With a chuckle, Veronia commented. The objective of their actions was plain to see; they didn’t bother to hide it, hoping the United Army would see it, for threats must be clear to be effective.

But the unexpected number of Divine Beasts reduced the effectiveness of the strike; at least the United Army had no plans to withdraw.

"You can’t win if you don’t fight; that’s impossible! If not for resources, I believe Agunas would have chosen to eliminate unstable factors directly."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said with annoyance. Every time stream has specific significance, which means they cannot recklessly destroy a time stream. Even if it’s the Qi Realm Timeline, Feng Yuan believes destroying it would cause irreversible effects on the Qi Realm.

The Qi Realm is troublesome enough; Feng Yuan doesn’t want that broken thing to mutate, making it never-ending.

The Qi Realm Timeline shouldn’t be touched, and Feng Yuan figures they won’t choose to destroy The Imperial Timeline and the War Timeline, as nobody knows what other time streams may appear in the future.

To be cautious, it’s best not to destroy anything unnecessarily. As for the future? Feng Yuan understands that the Time River can’t accommodate too many time streams, and they might need to choose which to keep.

These are all vexing issues; Feng Yuan is secretly relieved that it has nothing to do with him.

"I wonder if any time stream will bring new Spirit Beasts."

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, while Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, saying with slight annoyance

"If you want new Spirit Beasts, there are plenty in the Data Domain; even the Qi Realm, if you don’t mind the consequences."

"Hey, not necessary, not necessary. No need to waste your slot, and the Data Domain is still evolving. The Qi Realm... Spirit Beasts born there likely have many problems."

"Mhmm, that’s the simplest solution I can think of."

"Heh, I’m just curious about what interesting things time streams might bring. After all, there were Anti-Divine Beast Runes before, then the Qi Realm; maybe there will be more Spirit Beasts in the future."

Feng Yuan realized that time streams are like game DLC, bringing new things to the Main World. Of course, unlike game DLC, this is far more dangerous.

Moreover, there is a limit to how many time streams the Time River can host. Once the limit is reached, whether to obliterate unused time streams or consider relationships poses a real headache.

After all, the likelihood of the Qi Realm Timeline clashing with the Main World isn’t high; the immense side effects of the Qi Realm make Feng Yuan unsure of how others think, and they might choose to destroy the Qi Realm Timeline.

"Maybe, it’s just that those Spirit Beasts have no relevance to the Main World."

Veronia didn’t know Feng Yuan’s thoughts and merely followed along with his conversation. Hearing Veronia’s response, Feng Yuan mused

"Perhaps they could be born in the Main World? After all, new Spirit Beasts might also count as a resource."

"Who knows, but speaking of which, this approach might eventually lead to direct conflict."

Recalling something, Veronia chuckled lightly and said. Feng Yuan understood her meaning and sighed, saying reluctantly

"I hope that day doesn’t come too soon, as it’s an inevitable future."

Even though the battle in Kui Shan Town had ended, the Mythological Remnants didn’t retrieve the weapons from Qi Chen and his group but instead continued to strengthen the defenses. Despite the Imperial People ceasing their attack, their actions remained unchanged.

"Could the Imperial People return?"

Glancing at the cold Destruction Gun in his hand, Qi Chen somewhat worriedly asked Dou Yanlan. After pondering for a moment, Dou Yanlan replied

"Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. If they haven’t given up, they might attack again, but they haven’t."

She couldn’t fathom what the Imperial People wanted; at least Kui Shan Town was capable of eliminating invading enemies.

Dou Yanlan suspected that maybe they backed off after failing to capture Kui Shan Town. As for the Mythological Remnants strengthening the defenses? She could understand that.

Giving up is an ideal situation, but it can’t be regarded as reality; preparing in advance for a potential return is reasonable.

"How great would it be if these weapons could be deployed around Maomu City."

Looking towards the distant Kui Shan Town, Qi Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Experiencing it firsthand, he understood the immense power of Mythical Era’s weapons that modern times have yet to achieve.

It’s a shame these weapons, including those in their hands, can only function within the Kui Shan Town area. They automatically deactivate too far from Kui Shan Town.

"These weapons draw on the Netherworld’s power, and excessive deployment isn’t beneficial. Hopefully, their target remains Kuv Shan Town, otherwise..."

Shaking her head slightly, Dou Yanlan didn’t see practicality in Qi Chen’s idea. Utilizing a part of the Netherworld’s power is manageable, but calling upon it excessively, the Netherworld Divine Beasts wouldn’t approve.

Moreover, this attack wasn’t aimed at Maomu City; aside from harassment, the main force concentrated at Kui Shan Town, likely intending to seize these weapons.

"The Imperial People’s defeat is foreseeable, but still..."

Dou Yanlan sighed in helplessness. They trembled through it in Maomu City; others under attack faced soaring casualties.

Though the United Army prepared defenses, should the opponents recklessly charge, it remains uncertain how effective they’d be...
