Chapter 2799 - 2800: Recursive Creation

The terrifying power of correction forcefully alters all of history; this is a fundamental change. Aside from the records in Yin World, all that can be seen elsewhere is the fixed history transformed into a time loop by Feng Yuan.

This wasn’t Feng Yuan making a big deal out of nothing. The time loop itself has self-correction abilities, but ultimately, it’s a patch placed upon the flow of normal time. Breaking it is much easier than altering history, and to avoid unexpected events, making it a fixed history is much more prudent.

However, even Agunas and the others find this difficult to achieve because this is not merely rewriting history; it’s solidifying and locking this segment to prevent it from being modified again.

With this seemingly insignificant history being locked, Feng Yuan directly leads them forward to the era where the Stone Horror Spirit is trapped. Tamur senses an extraordinarily terrifying power suddenly descend. Before it can mount an effective resistance, the power envelops and pulls it along with Big Cat into the Time River.

As Tamur tries to struggle, it finds this force completely beyond its ability to contend with. This is even more terrifying than the Guardian God of Yin World. Who on earth is it?!

Upon seeing Feng Yuan and the others ahead, Tamur slightly relaxes. If it’s Feng Yuan, it’s no surprise. But why is he exerting full power? Even though Feng Yuan hadn’t said much about this matter to him, Tamur is aware that Feng Yuan, within the world, can’t easily wield power beyond the world’s rules.

In other words, normally, regardless of how high Feng Yuan’s power limit is, the strength he can wield is only up to the level of Yin World’s Guardian God, higher than that becomes very dangerous.

It’s not that Feng Yuan would lose control, but power exceeding the world’s regulatory limits could unintentionally cause irreparable damage to the world. For Feng Yuan, using power beyond the world’s regulatory limits is like carving flowers on tofu; a single careless act could lead to massive destruction.

The fact that he’s now using such enormous excess power is indeed a very dangerous endeavor. Tamur doesn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan has encountered to make him use such risky power.

Before he gets the chance to ask, Feng Yuan already brings them across the Time River to the era where the Stone Horror Spirit is located.

As the light dissipated, gazing at the long-missed homeland, the Stone Horror Spirit suddenly bursts into tears. Xiao Ji snuggles closely to Feng Yuan, who helplessly pushes Xiao Ji away, saying

"It’s summer here, you know."

Glaring at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji angrily looks away but doesn’t move far from him. Veronia watching the lingering smoke not far away says

"There, aren’t you going to care?"

"There’s no way around it; the time loop is just like this. If you forget this experience, you could save it directly, but..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan says, casting a glance at the Stone Horror Spirit beside him, who comprehends and shouts. It knows why; two of itself appearing at the same point in time would surely trigger more significant problems and chaos.

As for that experience, it doesn’t want to forget it, regardless of whether it’s good or bad...

It’s not exactly a memory worth cherishing, but despite seeming like a nightmare, it allowed the Stone Horror Spirit to see many new things.

Feng Yuan and the others naturally can guess what the Stone Horror Spirit wants to do. Especially Agunas and Veronia, having frequently participated in the Mythical Era wars, they can understand why the Stone Horror Spirit chooses to retain this seemingly insignificant memory.

Even if they can only observe through Crystal Creation for such a long time, the Stone Horror Spirit still spies a corner of future development, and Agunas wants to stop Feng Yuan because the Stone Horror Spirit’s actions could cause turbulence in the Time River. But looking at Feng Yuan, it seems he won’t listen to his advice.

Feng Yuan surely knows the troubles this might cause, but he doesn’t care; just a little turbulence. The Stone Horror Spirit ultimately didn’t witness with its own eyes, even if it knows part of the future direction, what can it do.

Without sufficient strength, resisting the forward flood is nearly impossible. Otherwise, those in history who tried to use wisdom against the flood would not have more losses than wins.

History might have small changes, but cannot alter the rise and fall of dynasties. Of course, Feng Yuan had no intention of reminding the Stone Horror Spirit. Though mortals’ struggles may be meaningless in the eyes of gods, it’s just because their scope of concern is too broad.

The information brought by the Stone Horror Spirit might not propel this small dynasty forward, but it could prolong its prosperity. As for decline? That’s an eventuality no one can prevent. There’s no perpetually prosperous dynasty, just like the Divine Beast Hall and Alliance are no exceptions.

"What a pity that we couldn’t see the original look of this place."

Looking back at the brand new giant pit, Feng Yuan says helplessly. To avoid the Stone Horror Spirit meeting itself from this timeline, Feng Yuan had to choose the time point where the Stone Horror Spirit was trapped.

Although their meeting wouldn’t immediately cause severe time-related destruction, it would make closing the time loop difficult; to avoid troubles for himself, Feng Yuan could only abandon descending to the time point before the meteorite fall.

"Who are you?!"

A loud shout interrupts Feng Yuan and the others’ conversation. The Stone Horror Spirit can naturally understand these people’s shouts. Feng Yuan frowns since he hasn’t opened language comprehension and can’t understand what they’re saying, but without a translator, he can guess their general meaning.

After all, given how they appeared so suddenly here, it would indeed be unusual for these soldier-like people not to question them.

Thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan waves the lantern in his hand, and the candle flames disperse, forming several flaming spheres that land on the ground, transforming into white Flame Giants. Pointing the lantern towards the soldiers, Feng Yuan says

"Shall we teach them a lesson first?"

Stone Horror Spirit turns incredulously towards Feng Yuan. Agunas flicks its tail; it guesses why Feng Yuan would do this but wonders if it’s a bit aggressive?

The soldiers don’t understand what Feng Yuan is saying, but this action clearly declares war on them. Would they be afraid? Certainly not! The saying "the ignorant are fearless" isn’t just for show.

Watching those soldiers battle the Flame Giants, Xiao Ji and the others have already predicted the outcome. Since Feng Yuan hasn’t summoned Xiao Ji’s power, can ordinary people who are not Beastmasters possibly resist Feng Yuan’s strength?

Unsurprisingly, as soon as the fight began, those soldiers were directly knocked down. Yet, they did not give up; instead, they pulled out a horn to summon reinforcements. Feng Yuan also had no intention to stop them, and when he saw the Stone Horror Spirit looking puzzled at him, Feng Yuan explained helplessly,

"You certainly can’t hide your situation, because they will definitely investigate the meteorite fall. If we don’t display absolute power, some things can’t be done."

It’s not that Feng Yuan wants to do something, but in the Dynasty Era, if you don’t display absolute power, those dynasty masters won’t earnestly listen to what you have to say. Moreover, this involves the time loop; if those people know the truth, and, fueled by excess curiosity, want the two Stone Horror Spirits to meet, that would be quite a fuss.

The key to the time loop is to create an explanation that smoothly integrates the journey from the future to the past with the historical flow of logic.

Stone Horror Spirit’s loop is relatively simple, just as long as the two don’t meet. After all, Stone Horror Spirit being trapped in that place, in a certain sense, also means it’s being separated from the normal flow of time.

However, if it is freed at this time, it becomes a different matter. Feng Yuan believes that, even if he intervenes, Agunas wouldn’t tolerate this level of temporal disturbance, let alone other Time Divine Beasts would also step in.

To prevent such troublesome matters from arising, Feng Yuan decides to use absolute military might to issue them a warning, at least allowing them to consider whether to heed Feng Yuan’s warning.

Thus Feng Yuan intentionally lets their army appear. In this era, the power of Spirit Beasts isn’t weak, but because Divine Beasts haven’t manifested, they can’t achieve absolute intimidation.

"Hmm, you didn’t let us take action because you’re afraid of affecting history?"

Veronia speculates upon understanding Feng Yuan’s intention, looking towards him. Previously, this guy would avoid action whenever possible, but now he’s so eager to act. With a little thought, she can guess Feng Yuan’s intent.

During this period, Divine Beasts haven’t appeared. If Veronia and the others took action, it would undoubtedly exert a significant impact on history. As for Feng Yuan acting on his own? There’s no such issue.

Because during this period, Divine Beasts haven’t come forth, no one would associate it with Divine Beasts. As for why humans wield such terrifying power?

Sorry, but this isn’t an isolated case. Throughout the historical records, humans capable of rivaling Spirit Beasts have always appeared, though they obtain their powers differently, their immense strength cannot be denied.

"Pretty much, anyhow, adding the record of a mythic figure won’t greatly affect history."

Feng Yuan laughs and says.
