"It seems I was right, and as for Chang Nianyun? Would you believe me if I said I was an admirer of hers?"
The girl smiled, staring unblinkingly at Feng Yuan as she spoke, and shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,
"I don’t believe it. I didn’t detect any sense of respect in your words, but what’s strange is, aren’t you people..."
"I don’t really like her methods, sacrificing too many people to achieve her goal. Maybe that’s her unavoidable choice, but I can’t accept it."
The girl said somewhat sadly, as Wu Feng gently embraced her and whispered,
"Why are you apologizing to me? It’s those people who should be apologizing. It’s just... they didn’t do anything wrong either..."
The girl rubbed her eyes and sighed as she hid behind Wu Feng, and the Vermilion Bird glanced at the girl hiding behind Wu Feng and then looked towards Feng Yuan.
"How come there are so many Divine Beasts around you?"
The puzzled voice of the Vermilion Bird rang in Feng Yuan’s ears. It could sense the identities of the Divine Beasts Little Green Snake and Veronia. As for Xiao Ji? They had known about it for a long time, hadn’t they?
Patting Xiao Ji’s head, who was standing beside him, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"It was an accident. Why, is there a problem?"
The Vermilion Bird shook its feathers and said nothing more. It was not like those Divine Beasts from Lorraine Tower that had lived for a very long time, and it was still somewhat confused about these matters between Divine Beasts, but it always felt that having so many Divine Beasts around Feng Yuan seemed somewhat problematic.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is going on here?"
Looking at the brightly lit city in the distance, Feng Yuan asked aloud, believing that Wu Feng, as a local, should have some understanding of the situation with the Tower of Oblivion.
"Not sure, the space of the Tower of Oblivion lost control two days ago, and Gitalien is not here. It’s lucky those monsters don’t leave those spaces, otherwise, we truly wouldn’t have enough manpower."
Wu Feng said helplessly. If those monsters would leave the special zones, they would have sought reinforcements overnight, relying just on their few people would not be enough to seal off so many areas.
"How about it? Can you handle it?"
Feng Yuan looked towards Little Green Snake. At that moment, it was staring at a strange marsh emitting a blue light in front of it, contemplating something. After a while, Little Green Snake hissed as if it were saying something.
"We can try, but I can’t guarantee it will definitely work. The main issue is that the spatial rules here are very chaotic, with many spatial layers having appeared."
Agunas said with some confusion. It knew what spatial layers were — in the normal world, if special spaces appeared, they would form a new spatial layer. Normally, identical types of special spaces would only form one spatial layer, but now the presence of multiple spatial layers indicated that those abnormal spaces did not belong to the same type.
"You can’t be serious? In that case, isn’t the inside of the Tower of Oblivion like a world?"
Feng Yuan was stunned and spoke in disbelief. Just like the real world, if not for a world, it would be impossible to simultaneously contain multiple different types of special spaces, like the early Infinite Dreamscape, although multiple, it was still considered one type, and it only accounted for and appeared as one spatial layer. The Dream Domain merged most of the Infinite Dreamscape, and although its range expanded to the entire real world, in reality, it could only contain one type of special space — the Infinite Dreamscape. Other Different Spaces simply couldn’t integrate into the Dream Domain.
"Not sure, but if that’s the case..."
Agunas looked at Veronia with an indescribable expression, and she, in turn, looked back at it as if looking at a pervert. Feng Yuan turned and spoke to the Vermilion Bird,
"How about we let Little Green Snake give it a try first?"
After pondering for a moment, the Vermilion Bird nodded in agreement. At this point, it didn’t have a better plan. More and more abnormal spaces were appearing, and they didn’t know how long they would have to wait for Gitalien to return. Although it wasn’t quite clear on Little Green Snake’s specific authority, it presumed that Agunas and Feng Yuan wouldn’t recklessly act.
Veronia waved her small hand dismissively and said,
"This, what trouble is there."
In the next moment, an ancient stone tower far away lit up with a pale blue glow, with golden energy flowing through the patterns on the tower’s body. The abnormal areas flicked with faint blue energy screens, which kept changing shapes. Moments later, the screens enveloped the abnormal spaces and lifted into the air, restoring the originally occupied regions to their original state.
Wu Feng looked on in surprise. The girl looked doubtfully at the spirit beast on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, who seemed not to care about her gaze and waved her hand again. The screens gradually merged the special zones together, and looking at the huge landmass floating in the sky, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,
"Can’t they be sent back into the Tower of Oblivion?"
"Structural damage, unable to restore."
Veronia said helplessly, hearing Veronia’s answer, Feng Yuan paused, surprised, and said,
"Wait a minute! Could it be that the Tower of Oblivion’s interior uses the World of Mirrors?"
"How is that possible? The Tower of Oblivion is a product of the post-Mythical Era, how could it possibly... "
Before Agunas could finish, Veronia nodded and said,
"This is troublesome... No wonder there are so many layers of space, but Little Crocodile, can’t you even recognize the things from your own era?"
Feng Yuan revealed a sinister smile and said to Agunas, who glared back at him annoyed and said,
"What are you babbling about? Those things are not the products of the Mythical Era."
Veronia confirmed decisively, although it didn’t get along with Agunas, it wouldn’t specially deceive Feng Yuan. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said, puzzled,
"Apart from the power of the World of Mirrors’s master, is there any other way to maintain the existence of the World of Mirrors? That doesn’t seem very realistic... right?"
Suddenly realizing something, Feng Yuan gently slapped Xiao Ji and said,
"Take me up there to take a look. Veronia, you wait here with Agunas for me."
Ignoring Veronia’s objection, Feng Yuan transformed into Little Husky and clambered onto Xiao Ji’s back to fly into the sky. Watching Veronia and Agunas chase after the departing Feng Yuan, Wu Feng said, somewhat speechlessly,
"What has he discovered now?"
"Master of the Mirror Realm? Another world? There are more and more unknowns."
The young girl said with a headache, although her target was not Chang Nianyun, the lack of information made many things difficult to handle. For example, right now, she had no clue about what was actually going on in the Tower of Oblivion, yet Feng Yuan seemed to know the specifics just by being here briefly.
The Vermilion Bird preened its feathers and said something to Wu Feng, who soon said with a sulky face,
"Are you using me as a messenger?"
"Should we inform the Special Duty Team? Indeed, with such a significant change in this special space, if you don’t tell them, who knows what kind of extreme reactions they might have."
The young girl pondered a moment, then said. Wu Feng’s ability to send messages was indeed limited to the Special Duty Team. As for the guard team? After their leader was transferred, Wu Feng had barely had any contact with them.
"It’s strange... I feel like I can manipulate these spaces, but..."
In the air, Veronia said with a touch of confusion. It was not a Divine Beast of space, only in charge of the World of Mirrors. In the World of Mirrors, it was stronger than Agunas and the others, but once it left the World of Mirrors, it was significantly weakened. If it weren’t for Feng Yuan who had reprocessed the World of Mirrors Fragment into a bead, allowing it to summon the power of the World of Mirrors at will, it probably wouldn’t be a match for Agunas.
"It looks like they indeed used the World of Mirrors. Could it be an outsider with such an ability?"
Aboard Xiao Ji, Little Husky pondered and said. Veronia nodded and said,
"I’ll try to bring it into the Mirror Realm."
"Better not try. Who knows what will happen when merging a world modified by outsiders into your World of Mirrors. There’s no need for unnecessary risks."
"Aren’t you supposed to prioritize solving troubles?"
Veronia looked at Little Husky surprised and swishing its tail, Little Husky stared intently at the special spaces below and said,
"But not at the expense of causing serious harm to a companion’s interests."
Veronia paused, then revealed an odd smile and said,
"Could it be that you want to become my knight?"
"I don’t want to. Also, those old etiquette and rules of yours, you’d better let them go. I know you might not care too much, but other Divine Beasts? That’s another story. If you go stirring up trouble in human society, you’re likely to run into difficulties."
Feng Yuan warned. He wasn’t joking; other Divine Beasts all had their essential purpose, except Veronia was an exception as it could, if not for an accident, already not be considered a Divine Beast anymore.
