Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2351 - 2352: The Problem with Domains

"I see, if it really shares authority with us, it could indeed be effective for us... But doesn’t this mean that Divine Beasts with a Divine Pact Maker will generally be stronger?"

Agunas skeptically glanced at Feng Yuan. Even though it was a Divine Beast, it still couldn’t form a contract with the Domain Spirit Beasts, meaning even if it might be effective, it needed human intervention.

"Not necessarily, since the attributes of Domain Spirit Beasts differ, the domain of the Mountain Tortoise is useless to you."

Feng Yuan shrugged as he spoke. The Earth System domain is of no benefit to Agunas of the time and Mystic Series nor to Veronia. Not to mention that Agunas wouldn’t care, Veronia would certainly be unwilling to use the Mountain Tortoise’s domain, as it is authority from the Kastantos Divine Beast.

"If I wish to create my own Domain Spirit Beasts... I see."

Agunas initially intended to ask Feng Yuan, but just as it opened its mouth, a message was transmitted, and it understood with a flick of its tail.

Such existence as itself could naturally give birth to its own Domain Spirit Beasts, but due to the unique nature of Agunas, its Domain Spirit Beasts would be weakened. Conversely, it doesn’t require a lineage to create Domain Spirit Beasts.

After pondering for a while, Agunas decided to abandon this idea, realizing that the requirement for lineage was related to the care needed for Domain Spirit Beasts. After all, they were no different from pets, assisting the Pact Maker during combat by utilizing the domain, but lacking other abilities.

Agunas could, of course, create them and let the Alliance help take care of them, but the thought was quickly discarded; this wouldn’t do!

No one knows what might happen after passing them to the Alliance. Unlike Ordinary Spirit Beasts with some combat abilities, if anything bad occurs, it’s not something Agunas would find pleasing, even if it retaliates afterward.

Thus, considering seriously, Agunas gave up the idea of creating Domain Spirit Beasts, turned to Feng Yuan, and said

"Currently, only the Mountain Tortoise is a Domain Spirit Beast, which should face restrictions in Beast Tamer competitions, like prohibition on usage?"

Given the Mountain Tortoise’s severe attribute limitations, only Beast Tamers with corresponding domain attributes could benefit, giving the respective attributed Spirit Beasts an unavoidable advantage in Beast Tamer contests.

"I don’t know, it’s not my concern, and as for restrictions..."

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and the others with an odd expression. If fair play is to be ensured, Divine Beasts ought to be banned from participation, since even if opponents have a Mountain Tortoise, it would still be overwhelmed.

Regional Beast Tamer tournaments called Divine Beast Wars aren’t a joke; typically, whenever a Divine Beast participates, the regional Beast Tamer contest evolves into a Divine Beast battle. Compared to an Ordinary Spirit Beast, a Divine Beast’s strength is simply too overwhelming.

Agunas flicked its tail, understanding Feng Yuan’s meaning. On the point of fairness, it had no words; after all, Divine Beasts are indeed disruptors in contests. But prohibiting them is beyond its capacity, as this rule has persisted for years, and neither Divine Beasts nor humans find it unusual.

Nothing can be done, as regional Beast Tamer contests often involve national interests, akin to a resource contention war.

Under such circumstances, limiting barbaric bloody disputes to the extreme is already an achievement, and using all means within certain rules is entirely normal.

Therefore, it’s impossible to ban Divine Beasts from competing, but fortunately, Divine Beasts also value their reputation. Except for Feng Yuan, other Divine Pact Makers can’t call Divine Beasts to assist in non-regional Beast Tamer contests.

Given the presence of a Divine Beast as an unfair advantage, maybe Domain Spirit Beasts aren’t entirely unfathomable, though Feng Yuan couldn’t fully elaborate on specifics.

Since their investigation got forcibly interrupted, Feng Yuan and the rest didn’t linger here; apart from the old city, no significant difference from other snow plain cities existed here.

No, due to the inherent protection of Kashantos Holy Mountain, subtle differences from snow plain cities do exist, as they lack the blatant emphasis on cold protection.

It’s understandable. Despite being enveloped in snow, Kashantos Holy Mountain doesn’t need absolute environment alteration. They could easily transform the surrounding into a year-round spring, if needed.

Such environmental manipulation is elementary for Kashantos or the entire civilization during the Mythical Era.

Not doing so conserves resources and primarily adapts to the Northern Snow Plain climate, as Kashantos Holy Mountain is immovable, making adaptation to the Snow Domain climate inevitable.

Back in Lodeman City, Feng Yuan stretched and said

"Matters caused by the parallel world are temporarily wrapped up～"

Though the investigation can’t continue, Feng Yuan felt the likelihood of problems ensuing was low; post-trade, Divine Beasts were unlikely to let those people stir trouble.

Provided they don’t cause trouble, Feng Yuan wouldn’t meddle, respecting them as Mythical Era’s dwellers, even if they were descendants of old adversaries from Kastantos. Feng Yuan presumed Veronia might assist on a whim.

Agunas flicked its tail; unlike Veronia, it was somewhat concerned about previous actions, but recalling the group related to Feng Yuan, Agunas renounced pursuit.

Fine, as long as they refrain from misconduct, it could ignore their actions.

Ultimately, Mythical Era ties were why Agunas couldn’t harshly target those people.

Returning to Lodeman City, Milos Lulu bid farewell to Feng Yuan, given the situation’s clarity or rather, the investigation against Kastantos concluded, making its presence unnecessary.

But that doesn’t mean it’s unoccupied, as notably Kastantos’s alias, Katuo Country, demands special attention.

It’s not just any small nation, inherently significant, and due to Domain Spirit Beasts, fostering relations seems preferable to severing ties, given their longstanding trade collaborations, presenting an advantage over other nations.

Milos Lulu wouldn’t overlook the value of Domain Spirit Beasts due to Kastantos’s uniqueness. Even if only mountain-related Spirit Beasts benefit, it’s a significant aid to Beastmasters, not to mention its general effect.

Feng Yuan dismisses it, as Xiao Ji is a Divine Beast with inherent resistance to abnormal conditions and the Fire Wolf Dog possesses an Ultimate Move to self-remove status effects, reducing the need for these capabilities, whereas for certain Spirit Beasts, such effects can enhance their combat power.

Abnormal status can stem from opponent-inflicted conditions; some powerful Ultimate Moves may imply a self-inflicted abnormal state as a side effect, perfectly offset by the Mountain Tortoise’s domain effects.

This inadvertent enhancement makes the Mountain Tortoise’s applicability not as insignificant as Feng Yuan suggested.

Yet, this matter doesn’t concern Feng Yuan, irrelevant for him; let alone the fact that he already possesses a gifted Mountain Tortoise from Divine Beasts.

"Speaking of which, what’s your plan for this little one?"

Veronia curiously eyed Feng Yuan. The Mountain Tortoise didn’t align with Feng Yuan’s team, unable to enhance Xiao Ji or the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, nor would its domain effects benefit Xiao Ji and the others.

She was genuinely curious about Feng Yuan’s approach to dealing with the Mountain Tortoise.

"I’ll keep it for now; can’t just hand it over to Qi Chen, can I? Although it was freely given, considering its value, it’s inappropriate."

Feng Yuan understood that for Qi Chen and others, the Mountain Tortoise wasn’t essential, unlike Nainefar’s power which was significant for Ah Mu. The Mountain Tortoise’s rare nature, coupled with its unique status, ensured its scarcity.

Gifting it to anyone seemed inopportune to Feng Yuan, not out of reluctance, but concern that it might not be advantageous.

Xiao Ji glared at the Mountain Tortoise on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, pondering if it weren’t combat-capable, it might have taken action against it. Not major harm, just a slight reprimand seemed likely.
