Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2411 - 2412: Nighttime Chat

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang still wanting to say something, Qi Chen couldn’t help but pull her back and say,

"That’s enough, Xiao Shuang, this is Dad’s decision, don’t interfere."

"I..."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang hesitated to speak. Qi Chen naturally knew what Qi Xiaoshuang wanted to do, but he didn’t want to trouble Feng Yuan because of it. Moreover, he knew very well that if his father was to join the war, he would enlist, and even if Feng Yuan wanted to help, it might be very troublesome.

Unless Feng Yuan joins the military too, which is obviously impossible.

"Dinner’s ready～"

Perhaps sensing Qi Xiaoshuang’s embarrassment, Qi Chen’s mother suddenly shouted. Feng Yuan smiled without saying anything, helping Qi Chen’s father wasn’t something he couldn’t do, and he already had a plan, but there was no need to reveal it.

It’s not that he deliberately wants Qi Chen and the others to worry, it’s just that it’s too much trouble to explain, after all.

"Alas, really, why did the time stream suddenly appear?"

Feng Yuan sighed with a look of helplessness; if not for the appearance of the time stream, things wouldn’t be like this, not to mention pushing the entire Alliance into full war readiness.

"Can’t the time stream be stopped?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan with a hint of expectation, shaking his head, Feng Yuan replied helplessly,

"No, it’s the result of the world’s natural evolution. Who knows if that thing has some special purpose."

Not to mention the messy connection between the time stream and parallel worlds, just the fact that it’s related to the Time River already makes it troublesome, as anything involving the Time River is never simple.

This is why Feng Yuan can only sit and watch the war break out, even though he doesn’t want to see this happen, there’s nothing he can do.

Today’s dinner was very dull; people rarely talked and seemed preoccupied. Qi Chen tried several times to ease the awkward atmosphere but found that no one responded, even Feng Yuan didn’t know how to join in.

After dinner, Qi Xiaoshuang was called to the room by Qi Chen’s mother, and Qi Chen hesitated before going to Feng Yuan’s room and asked,

"What are you planning to do during this time? Stay in Maomu City or go somewhere else?"

Feng Yuan, who was checking the information on the computer, turned and glanced at Qi Chen, thought for a moment, and said,

"I’ll probably stay in Maomu City, after all, there’s no way to completely rule out the possibility of those people attacking. Going somewhere else isn’t much different from staying in Maomu City. In a war of this scale, individuals can do very little unless they can wipe out the whole Imperial Timeline with a slap."

Feng Yuan chuckled as if joking, and even Qi Chen thought he was, but unfortunately, Qi Chen didn’t know that Feng Yuan wasn’t joking but actually had the capability.

"The activities at Maomu City’s Data Square will still take place as usual, but this time probably not many people will go there for fun. Anyway, there’s nowhere good to go during this time, might as well go there for a walk."

Turning back to the computer screen, Feng Yuan spoke. Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled, as Feng Yuan wasn’t particularly fond of using computers, or rather, he wasn’t very interested in computer games, so in Qi Chen’s impression, Feng Yuan rarely used a computer, let alone chatted while using a computer now.

"Are you... researching information?"

Thinking of something, Qi Chen asked his question, and while sorting through information online, Feng Yuan said,

"Yes, to avoid causing more severe panic, they’ve disclosed most of the data. There’s even a website dedicated to real-time updates on the latest measures and war reports, though the war report section seems a bit rushed. Are they really planning to launch the war immediately?"

Feng Yuan didn’t expect the Alliance to complete the dissemination of information so quickly, or rather, that all war-related intelligence has now been disclosed. Although it seems pretty good and can prevent panic from spreading, Feng Yuan worries that doing so might cause intelligence leaks.

Currently, humans in the Main World cannot make the network system identify whether visitors are from this world or not, meaning people from the Imperial Timeline and even the War Timeline can learn a lot of intelligence through this disclosed information.

"Strange, according to these sections, a lot of information has been disclosed this time, but..."

Staring at the screen, Feng Yuan stroked his chin with a serious expression. He doesn’t quite understand what the Alliance intends to do, but he has a bad feeling about it.

"Won’t this information allow the enemy to easily gain intelligence? Or are they planning to fabricate false intelligence?"

Feng Yuan has always struggled to understand the Alliance’s approach, although he doesn’t believe the Alliance would act recklessly. Let alone anything else, doing so recklessly—the Divine Beast Hall is still watching, not to mention various countries aren’t simply taking orders from the Alliance.

"False intelligence? This..."

Qi Chen was taken aback, he never considered that the Alliance might disclose false intelligence. If such a thing were found out, wouldn’t it be detrimental to stability?

"Well, you’ll see for yourself in the information disclosed by the Alliance. It’s so comprehensive and abundant; if they don’t mix in false intelligence, it’s practically asking for trouble."

With a shrug, Feng Yuan knows Qi Chen will comprehend it. Just joking, who in their right mind would disclose all their intelligence in wartime, thinking it’s too easy or something.

Qi Chen puzzledly took out his phone and spent a moment verifying that Feng Yuan was indeed correct. He couldn’t figure out why, but on the Alliance’s public website, there were many sections that so far contain no actual information, but based on the descriptions, one could guess what information would be disclosed.

Even Qi Chen could see that the disclosed intelligence seemed overly abundant, and if the enemy were to see it, it might cause trouble.

"Why would it be like this?"

Qi Chen couldn’t understand why the Alliance would disclose information this way. With a shrug, Feng Yuan said,

"Don’t know, but maybe it’s to reassure the public, or even possibly to pressure them."

"Pressure them?"

Staring at Feng Yuan in confusion, Qi Chen didn’t quite understand his meaning. With a chuckle, Feng Yuan said,

"For entities like Agunas who advocate resolving issues quickly, their speed is still a bit too slow."

"Well, what you said... is true."

After a moment’s pause, Qi Chen realized what Feng Yuan meant. Regular coordination aside, according to Feng Yuan, Agunas wishes they could invade the Imperial Timeline today, clearly showing some dissatisfaction with the Alliance’s current efficiency and secretly escalating matters to force them to make quicker decisions.

Still, whether to start the war immediately or continue preparations, even Feng Yuan couldn’t determine. Given how this involves multiple interests, even if they want to move quickly, it can’t be settled in a short timeframe.

"It doesn’t seem like results will come quickly, forget it, I plan to go to Data Square tomorrow. How about you?"

"I’ll join, nothing much to do on my end."

Although many academy students prefer training during vacations, Qi Chen currently has no such intention. Even if training now, it might not enhance much strength; instead, staying by Feng Yuan’s side can provide some support in Maomu City.

"Then let’s head out together tomorrow."

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan didn’t elaborate much, regardless of how the Imperial Timeline plans to proceed; he doesn’t believe they’ll launch an attack now.

Because doing so would disrupt their plans, as for the Alliance’s counterattack?

Feng Yuan feels they might not care, because as of now, the Alliance internally hasn’t reached a unified decision, making the Imperial Timeline likely unafraid of the Alliance.

Moreover, their primary target would be the Divine Beasts; after all, unless the Imperial Timeline is foolish, they would know that the Divine Beasts pose the greatest obstacle in attacking the Main World.

After some idle chatter with Feng Yuan, Qi Chen went to his room to rest, while Feng Yuan stared at the discussion messages for a while longer, pondering,

"Seems like it might be difficult to reach a unified agreement. How do they plan to proceed? Could they... act separately?"

"Forget it, these are their matters; I’ll just keep Maomu City safe. As for other things, huh, what does it have to do with me?"

With a slight shake of his head, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound. Currently, Xiao Ji was quietly crouching nearby, as for the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, it had long since fallen asleep on the blanket.

Seeing Feng Yuan stand up, Xiao Ji hurriedly ran over. He amusingly picked up Xiao Ji, rubbing its head, and said,

"You should rest early if you’re sleepy."
