Chapter 1478: Chapter 1479 Trace of Shadow in Tiraya City

“Next, don’t get too close, it’ll be trouble if you accidentally trigger something.”

Feng Yuan stepped forward, telling everyone as he began to operate the panel. Several experts beside him occasionally took photos and recorded his actions along with the information on the panel. Because Tiraya City’s historical documents hadn’t suffered much damage, they could barely understand these things and naturally knew that Feng Yuan was indeed initiating inspection mode.

However, seeing the coordination remaining time and the maximum inspection time in the inspection mode, one person couldn’t help but ask,

“What’s with the time shown up there?”

“Coordination time and inspection time? It seems related to energy consumption and synchronization issues. If we can’t complete the full control of the six-star towers within the coordination time, the previous instructions will become invalid. As for the maximum inspection time, it should be related to the energy consumed by the independent appearance of Shadow Tiraya City.”

Feng Yuan glanced at the information on the panel, thought for a moment, and said. Hearing his words, everyone was startled. Long Boduo puzzledly asked,

“Does the independent appearance of Shadow Tiraya City consume energy?”

“Of course, according to the records here and previous data, haven’t you guessed it yet? The original design of Shadow Tiraya City was to quickly replace the original city when Tiraya City is damaged. That’s why those things need support from the outer tower’s energy. Moreover, because it’s hidden in the form of structural material, there’s no way for us to find it by looking for spatial fluctuations.”

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and, looking at Agunas, said,

“However, it’s more troublesome because Shadow Tiraya City is built based on the old design, so it cannot appear outside the inspection mode, or else it will definitely cause trouble.”

“Indeed, compared to the past, Tiraya City has been renovated in too many places. If replaced with the appearance of ancient Tiraya City, there may be quite a bit of chaos.”

An older expert nodded in agreement with Feng Yuan’s statement. After all, it’s true that Tiraya City has changed over so long, if restored, the roads throughout Tiraya City might plunge into chaos for a while.

“Let’s go. It’s done here; let’s head to the next place.”

Seeing the console restored to its original state, Feng Yuan clapped his hands and said. At this moment, the platform under everyone’s feet suddenly shook and began to descend. Looking at that light curtain and the special space after passing through the light curtain, Qi Chen asked inquisitively,

“Why is there a special inner tower space in the tower? Doesn’t that consume energy?”

“Of course it does consume energy, but there’s no other way. The control center can’t possibly be placed outside directly; after all, this is a tower outside the city. If someone quickly controls it, it would be very troublesome, like those guards ensuring the enemy can’t quickly use the reserved control center to alter or even eliminate the defense of Shadow Tiraya City.”

Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly and said that this city defense system couldn’t be too aggressive or too lenient, or an accidental trigger might cause huge losses, or it might have no effect at all.

“At that time, those people managed to reach this point, which is truly impressive. At least it would be very difficult for us to achieve such a level at that time, and it’s unknown why the technology they mastered was lost.”

An expert sighed while looking at the restored interior space of the tower. Compared to before Feng Yuan’s operation, special energy flowed through the patterns on the surrounding walls.

“It’s probably related to Arnis. Although the reason is unknown, it is indeed constantly eliminating magic and technology information from the Omeilia Region. It’s unclear why it chooses to do so.”

Feng Yuan shrugged and said, he really didn’t understand why Arnis would choose to erase traces of magical civilization. He believed this matter wasn’t just a simple action by Ernis, as Arnis’s strength was evident, and along the journey, several relics related to Arnis hadn’t been destroyed by Ernis.

“Maybe it has to do with how humans control it. If relying on magical civilization, severe talent disparities could naturally create insurmountable social strata, which is not a good thing.”

Agunas said, wagging his tail. Although technological civilization isn’t perfect either, at least in terms of usage, it’s not as limited by talent. Of course, if developed, magical civilization might achieve the same level as technological civilization, but neither dared nor would gamble on such matters.

After all, Arnis is only the Guardian Divine Beast of the Omeilia Region, and other regions don’t have similar civilizations. Even through interregional exchanges, they can’t keep up with the Omeilia Region. On the contrary, technology, due to its dependency on materials, is relatively easy to research.

“Perhaps we should ask Arnis for specific details; it might offer some insights. However, even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t really matter as technological advancement has come this far. There’s basically no turning back from the technological route to start anew.”

Feng Yuan laughed and said, realizing that modern human technology may not necessarily be weaker than magical civilization, just that the requirements for materials are higher, or else technological civilization might have already caught up with these ancient relics.

“Haha, you’re right. We study ancient relics just to find ways to use modern technological methods to achieve those functions, right? Although we can’t replicate them, the ideas embedded in these ancient relics serve as quite an inspiration for us.”

One expert laughed, and hearing this, Feng Yuan recalled and said,

“Can you give me a copy of this research data? Of course, I only want some of the Shadow Tiraya City technology. I’d like to give it to people in Maomu City to see if they can enhance the new city defense system.”

“Well… it’s not impossible, considering that this stuff doesn’t really hold much practical use anymore.”

After a moment of hesitation, an expert said, although Shadow Tiraya City is still functioning properly, it holds little value to the modern age beyond research unless someone plans to upgrade Shadow Tiraya City with this technology. Unfortunately, that’s impossible as these are two completely different research directions.

“Once we’re done organizing, we’ll communicate through official channels with Maomu City. Naturally, we’ll mention your contributions.”

After thinking it over, the team leader said to Feng Yuan. In fact, this kind of thing wasn’t happening for the first time; everyone knew what to do. Even Beastmasters from Tiraya City had helped other cities with major issues and then obtained some technical information from them.

“That’s great. I was really afraid I’d have to hand it over myself, which would be too troublesome.”

With a hearty laugh, Feng Yuan said, and soon, they had traversed all of the Six-Star Towers. This was when the experts realized why there was a coordination time. If anyone attempts a forced breakthrough or violent cracking, time will become too tight, and they might not make it.

However, this method is completely ineffective against enemies with spatial transmission abilities. But considering that during the Dynasty Era, Spirit Beasts weren’t abundant and having the ability for spatial transfer wasn’t easy, they understood this wasn’t a loophole.

With the final tower’s activation completed, Tiraya City underwent changes again. The previous anomalies gradually disappeared, and the park at the center of the castle group underwent huge changes.

The original park vanished, and a street whose end disappeared into the mist appeared at the original location of the park. Knowing Feng Yuan and their actions, the Tiraya City officials, who were prepared for the mutation, swiftly evacuated the remaining tourists.

“So that’s how they used that place as an entrance?”

This didn’t surprise Feng Yuan, as he already knew that in inspection mode, Shadow Tiraya City would appear in a different space. As soon as the car entered Tiraya City, Agunas was amazed and said,

“Such massive spatial fluctuations; their design is truly unique.”

“What else would you expect? Do you think I want just any information? If it weren’t for the unique design of Shadow Tiraya City, I wouldn’t be bothering.”

Feng Yuan said with a proud laugh, and Long Boduo asked puzzledly,

“Is there any difference between this and the Netherworld City? I recall that the Netherworld City can also restore itself.”

“That’s the world rules, completely different from this.”

Feng Yuan said, looking speechlessly at Long Boduo. That kind of place in the Netherworld City can certainly restore itself; you can’t expect Ghost-type Divine Beasts to fix the city they broke, right? After all, there’s quite a lot of conflict in those areas.
