CHAPTER 1468: CHAPTER 1469 HIDDEN CITY

"Are you saying that within Tiraya City, there’s another hidden Tiraya City?"

Agunas listened in surprise to Feng Yuan’s account and said, there is no guardian Divine Beast in this place, how could such a strange thing happen? After thinking for a while, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"I’m not sure, and it might not even be a complete city, but whatever is hidden, I believe they definitely didn’t create this on purpose."

Looking around, Feng Yuan said, after all, this is a race track designed for the racers and visitors who couldn’t sign up to experience tomorrow’s racing event, and they had never heard of this Mirror Tiraya City. No matter how you think about it, it wouldn’t appear in the real race track, so it’s unlikely the organizers did this on purpose.

After researching for a while without results, Feng Yuan and his team left from the finish line. However, they did not leave the matter there and instead asked the staff to contact and report their findings.

Upon hearing the reported information below, the people of Tiraya City were also extremely surprised, even thinking it was a joke at first. But when they heard that a Divine Beast was involved, they had to take it seriously. Was there indeed a hidden area within Tiraya City? Upon learning the news, they couldn’t sit still.

It’s not that they wanted to develop tourism or anything, but rather, if one day someone told you that in the city where you live, the place you’re so familiar with, there exists an area you’ve never heard of, this...

"Is there nothing in the archives?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some confusion. Agunas shook his tail and said,

"There’s something, but it hasn’t been compiled; scattered materials are not easy for me to find."

Although it had all the historical records, like Feng Yuan’s Dark Ancient Book, Agunas also needed keywords to search for information; otherwise, it could only look through the materials one by one, which would be too slow. Just the modern data would be enough for Agunas to sift through for a long time.

Soon, the local archives manager found Feng Yuan and the others. After hearing Feng Yuan’s words, he immediately contacted the person in charge of managing the Data City to retrieve the data.

Seeing buildings similar to the ancient Tiraya but different in details, he had to admit that what Feng Yuan said was true. But where exactly was the hidden area?

"Do you have no records or legends of that place at all?"

Feng Yuan asked the archives manager Soreen with some doubt. He couldn’t quite believe there were no legends at all unless the thing itself was strange. Yet, Soreen nodded and said,

"That’s right, if you hadn’t mentioned it, we wouldn’t have known there was an issue with that building."

"Can you retrieve the corresponding data from the Data City?"

Veronia thought of something and asked. The other person shook his head and said,

"No, they’ve tried retrieving data from the Data City, but without keywords, they can’t find the corresponding information. They just made simple selections when generating the track. These structures here are just replicas of the track, and they don’t even know what to call them."

Looking at these buildings that are the same as on the track, Soreen sighed and said that although they didn’t know where it was hidden, based on the characteristics of the Data City, they could be certain it existed within Tiraya City.

"Are there no clues? Agunas, what about you?"

"I don’t know. Searching by ’mirror’ and similar keywords did not yield any clues. We can only carefully study these buildings now and see if there are any other clues."

Even Agunas felt it was tricky. Without keywords, it didn’t even know which era these buildings were born in, and how could such a clear Mirror City not be found with mirror and similar keywords? Agunas even felt this area was deliberately erased from all records.

Are they safeguarding against it? But it could be certain that there was only one Time Divine Beast like itself that had the ability to peruse records, and at that time, it didn’t even exist; humans didn’t even know of its existence, so how could they safeguard against it?

"Could it be a mistake in the Data City? By the way, is there a way to trace the origin based on these models?"

Thinking of something, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan. She wasn’t very clear about matters of the Data Domain, but since there’s a model in front of everyone now, there should be a way to trace it.

Hearing Veronia’s words, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"There is, but it requires tracking to the origin area, which is very troublesome and dangerous."

"Origin area... Do you think it’s necessary?"

Flicking his tail, Agunas looked seriously at Feng Yuan. The origin area could be said to store data from the entire real world, where other lives except for Divine Beasts and Data-based Spirit Beasts were not allowed to approach lightly, and even Divine Beasts couldn’t approach without permission.

"The fastest way is indeed like this, but the aftermath is significant. Although it’s not a copy of the world, it does record all the information of the real world. If something leaks, it will be very troublesome."

After thinking about it, Feng Yuan shook his head and said, although curious, he didn’t dare to act for such a small matter. After all, that strange area hadn’t caused any harm, and for him, it was at most just curiosity.

"Wait! I thought of something! Try searching with terms like ’backup,’ ’copy,’ or ’shadow,’ you might find clues about this thing!"

Feng Yuan clapped his hands as he thought of something. Dou Yanlan looked around and said,

"As a shadow of Tiraya City? It does seem similar in style, but why..."

With Feng Yuan’s suggestion, Dou Yanlan and the others thought of the World’s Shadow, that special space. Meanwhile, Agunas and them thought of another thing. Belusir looked at Feng Yuan in surprise and asked,

"Is this modeled after that?"

"Um, if it can be found, it might indeed be set based on the World’s Shadow or a similar situation. However, I’m not sure how large this thing is."

The track was assembled automatically by Data City generating model data, and Feng Yuan did not know how large the area it originally belonged to was.

Meanwhile, Soreen, after hearing this information, immediately sent people to investigate the archives and library. Soon, Agunas found a clue, sliding its paw over the text on the book, and Agunas shouted,

"Found it! The Shadow Tiraya City Plan! A secret plan in Tiraya City during the Crest Dynasty!"

"But these records are too scattered. What about your side?"

Agunas found the records highly dispersed, almost just one or two sentences per page, and even the entire content related to the book didn’t amount to a full page. No wonder it hadn’t found it before. It seemed this plan was deliberately avoiding the ability to peruse the records?

"My side is no better either. Those things are either the same as yours or lack continuity; it’s too troublesome to organize."

Waving his hand, Feng Yuan understood Agunas’s meaning and said helplessly. Of course, whether it’s truly troublesome or Feng Yuan himself is lazy, only he knows. At least, even with Agunas’s help several times, he wasn’t very familiar with how to use that thing.

Over here, Soreen continuously sent out the information Feng Yuan and his team sorted, and Feng Yuan didn’t mind. After all, he couldn’t sneak in secretly. Not to mention it would be hard to explain if caught, it was unnecessary.

He wasn’t interested in what was inside. As for whether there were any treasures? He wasn’t lacking, and Qi Chen and his team couldn’t use them. Or rather, this trip to Dantia had already yielded plenty of harvests. Even if those things could be used in the future, Feng Yuan could obtain better ones. Angering Tiraya City for this was meaningless.

Moreover, Feng Yuan suspected they might invite them to explore the Shadow Tiraya City together. After all, such a place might have significant dangers, and someone like Feng Yuan, who had little greed for treasures and was accompanied by a group of Divine Beasts, would naturally be a good choice for external assistance.

Indeed, although the matter wasn’t clear, Soreen had already extended an invitation to Feng Yuan on behalf of Tiraya City, inviting them to join in exploring the deeply hidden Shadow Tiraya City.
