"A curse? This thing has gotten mixed in?"
Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised. While the exterior of the meteorite was indeed sealed by some rules, he could still discern the bizarre curse power within, and it was certainly no amusing matter.
"I always feel that the Meteorite Museum has some subtleties, with all kinds of strange dangerous stuff."
Feng Yuan said helplessly. He had only been there for a short while and had already spotted quite a few dangerous items. He glanced at Agunas and said with a strange expression,
"I mean, don’t you think you should consider cleaning up those meteorites? I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
Agunas flicked his tail a bit helplessly, as he also didn’t know that these meteorites contained all sorts of chaotic things. Perhaps only He knew what the real situation with these meteorites was.
"Is that curse very powerful?"
Lanadi asked somewhat puzzled, looking at the meteorite while Feng Yuan gently traced his finger on the protective glass,
"It’s not that significant. Starting from the Legendary Level, there is resistance, and at the Sacred Beast Level, it is almost useless. Only those below this strength level will be affected. The curse seems to be a type that continuously devours and spreads life force."
Life force? Lanadi was initially puzzled but instantly realized that it did not refer to the attribute of the Spirit Beasts. Agunas flicked his tail and said,
"It indeed is quite troublesome. If it were unintentionally released, Maomu City could be doomed."
"That’s not as exaggerated. This thing has no resistance to time. Lorraine Tower could handle it just by stepping in."
Shrugging, Feng Yuan said unconcernedly. Agunas swept a glance at Feng Yuan and flicked his tail before saying,
"Shall I mention it to Lorraine Tower and have it come take a look?"
"I think you guys should speak to the Alliance and go through all those meteorites. Who knows if there are other strange things in other places."
After a moment’s hesitation, Agunas nodded in agreement. He also couldn’t believe that Maomu City was so lucky to have collected an array of dangerous items; other cities and regions probably had plenty of dangerous things as well.
Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Lanadi smiled and said,
"The Mordan region doesn’t need to worry. We don’t have many meteorites falling there, and besides, Lorna has warned us not to collect those meteorites but to leave them for her to deal with."
"You see, I also don’t know what the situation is. She’s not a Sacred Beast and is not in the Sacred Beast intelligence network; there’s absolutely no way to contact her."
"Speaking of which, Veludante seems to be out of touch. It hardly communicates with us either."
Agunas said somewhat speechlessly, then glanced at Agunas as Feng Yuan said,
"You’d better check with Lorraine Tower to see if Lorna is alright. These things can only cause some trouble, but if there’s more or say, at some particular moments, you might suffer."
Agunas couldn’t help but agree with Feng Yuan’s concern. This was indeed no small matter. Generally, ordinary Spirit Beasts shouldn’t possess such powerful abilities. A Time-space Guardian, regardless of how it got the name, clearly indicated potent time and space interference powers, which strictly speaking were now encroaching on the authority of Divine Beasts.
Veronia climbed onto Feng Yuan’s head, curiously looking at that meteorite and apparently noticing something, she said,
"Can I have that thing?"
Feng Yuan was a bit surprised; he didn’t quite understand what Veronia wanted with that thing, but since she was a Divine Beast, she probably wouldn’t create chaos. After thinking it over, Feng Yuan said,
"We probably should ask the person in charge before leaving. I cannot guarantee I can definitely get it."
Nodding, Veronia moved to the front of the glass casing on the meteorite and said,
"I can feel it. The power inside can give birth to a new life, possibly bringing a new rule to this world."
Veronia turned towards Feng Yuan and smiled sweetly. Agunas paused and said,
"Life? That doesn’t seem likely."
Most Spirit Beasts rely on the power of the Creator Twin Dragon Gods for their birth, with the earliest Mythical Era being entirely created by the Creator Twin Dragon Gods during their zenith. However, as they departed, along with that catastrophe, it led to the destruction of the Mythical Era.
Nevertheless, the prevailing belief is that the current world’s Spirit Beasts mostly evolved from those created by the Creator Twin Dragon Gods. Could a fragmented rule from the Outer World also give birth to Spirit Beasts? Agunas expressed disbelief.
"Is it a Spirit Beast or something else?"
Feng Yuan felt confused. If it were a Spirit Beast, although the Creator Twin Dragon Gods had already endowed it with related abilities, they seemed not to be particularly keen on creating new Spirit Beasts but rather let them evolve on their own. As for other creatures, there seemed to be some problems—at least currently, the extraordinary power system wasn’t quite suitable for anything beyond Spirit Beasts.
"Spirit Beast, and a special one at that."
Veronia stared at the meteorite and then, recalling something, looked at Feng Yuan,
"It’s a special Spirit Beast that evolved through the power of the World of Mirrors. If it cannot reproduce soon, there might be some problems."
"Isn’t that the ability of the Creator Twin Dragon Gods?"
Agunas looked at Veronia dubiously. He didn’t believe Veronia had that ability, but Feng Yuan recalled something and said to Veronia,
"That’s a specially designated Spirit Beast, isn’t it? Isn’t this somewhat wasteful?"
Shaking her head, Veronia looked at the meteorite and replied,
"It’s not a big issue, and a Curse Series Spirit Beast has never appeared before."
"It probably isn’t from the Curse Series; it’s more likely from the Mystic Series or the Death Series."
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia looked at him with some surprise and asked,
"There isn’t a Curse attribute among the power attributes, so naturally, a Curse Series Spirit Beast cannot be born, except for this meteorite that contains the rules of the curse. Aren’t you considering other possibilities?"
After looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia shook her head and answered,
"Nothing else is as interesting."
The group wandered around the Meteorite Pavilion, discovering many meteorites with peculiar rules. As they prepared to leave, Feng Yuan took out his credentials and said to Lanadi,
"Let’s do this. I’ll get the person in charge to come over, and after discussing these matters, we can head to the next museum?"
"No need to trouble yourselves, I’ve already called them."
The guide who had been quietly following them spoke up. Just then, an elderly middle-aged man came over, looked at the young lady guide, and said,
"Are these the people you mentioned?"
Seeing the man’s somewhat hostile demeanor, Feng Yuan stepped back and looked at Agunas,
"I’ll leave it to you."
Agunas, speechless, gave Feng Yuan a look and said,
"What are you thinking? What can I possibly do about this conceptual matter?"
"I’m not trying to argue with you. No matter how much deductive evidence we bring forward, the mere fact that you are Divine Beasts is enough,"
the middle-aged man said regretfully. This was reality—no amount of their conjecture could replace the truth of the situation. While Agunas’s statements might lead to a lot of invalidated research, facing facts was the sole path of truth-seekers, not defining the world through their research.
Seeing the middle-aged man’s disheartened look, the young lady guide felt a pang of sympathy. She was aware of just how impactful the truth learned from Agunas could be on current research, yet it was an unavoidable issue. Knowing the wrong path ahead and not correcting it would only cause more severe consequences.
"It’s okay, just feeling a bit upset for the moment,"
the middle-aged man waved off and then looked at Agunas,
"Which meteorite do you think has issues? Although I have the authority to give the meteorite to you, I still need to register your information, as some things aren’t so simple."
"No need, we just want to see what’s inside one piece of meteorite; as for the other..."
Feng Yuan himself was unsure how to explain; even if the rules were extracted, the shell of the meteorite might not change much, and he was unsure how to handle such matters. Thinking quickly, he handed his credentials to the man and swiftly explained what needed to be done. After pondering it over, the man said,
"This should be fine, but if there’s any special change, I hope to set up a research recording device in advance, as every meteorite harbors something extraordinary inside."
If the meteorites were not too variable and unusable internally, they likely wouldn’t be on display but rather ingeniously processed as their unique trump cards.
