Chapter 1481: Chapter 1482: Departure and Aftermath

As they journeyed on, Feng Yuan and his group casually repaired many faulty buildings. Although everyone knew that these buildings might malfunction again the next time they’re activated, no one said that doing so was meaningless.

“The damage is quite severe. I’m afraid they won’t be able to repeatedly activate this shadow Tiraya City before fully repairing the magic formation.”

Gazing at this ancient city, Feng Yuan sighed and said this, while Veronia twirled the parasol in her hand and said

“However, being able to preserve such immaculate these appearances over such a long period is a blessing. It’s a pity not to see Tiraya City’s glorious moments; although not as grand as Mitradite, it still is a fine city～”

“If you wish, I can take you back to its glorious days. It’s not difficult.”

Looking at Veronia, Agunas said, taking ordinary people back to the past could be troublesome, but not for Divine Beasts. Besides, Veronia at that time was hiding in her own ruins, not easily encountered. As for altering the future?

It believed that Veronia should be quite aware of the seriousness of these matters.

Staring at Agunas for a while, Veronia chuckled lightly and shook her head, saying

“Forget it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist.”

Understanding what Veronia meant, Belusir gently held its hand in reassurance. Sitting on Xiao Hei’s head, Najia suggested after a pause of silence

“Why don’t we take a group photo here for remembrance? I noticed you didn’t take many pictures, which is unlike you.”

“Hehe, a group photo? Sounds good. Let’s go this way first～”

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan laughed and led everyone, leaving behind group photos at various spots in this ancient city. When the agreed time came, everyone gathered at city hall. An expert was reluctantly looking at this ancient structure and said

“Once closed this time, it’s unclear how long it will take before we can see it again.”

“You’re aware then?”

Feng Yuan looked surprised at those experts, and one of them bitterly smiled and said

“Of course, the memory-preserving magic formation is missing parts, isn’t it? Alas, who knows if Xin Jiade has a master capable of repairing these formations, and their locations are troublesome.”

“Indeed, it’s buried deep underneath Tiraya City. If we use Spirit Beast power to descend, any mishap that damages the magic formation would be a problem. However, using tools to excavate makes it difficult…”

Another person couldn’t help but say that the location of that magic formation is truly unique, deep underground, and possibly protected by defensive magic formations as well. It seems to be a complex issue no matter how you look at it. However, it’s not urgent; after figuring out the operational principle, they can at least be sure that shadow Tiraya City won’t pose any major threats shortly.

Aside from ensuring the magic formations on the castles remain undamaged, they only need to protect those six star towers, whereas the core magic array deep underground? That’s something they are powerless to deal with for now.

Soon, everyone left this different space. Remembering something, Feng Yuan asked the soldier guarding the door

“Is there anyone still inside? If there is, make sure to call them out immediately.”

“Of course not. After you mentioned the danger of closing it, we’ve already notified them not to send more people in. Though it’s a pity, there’s no other way.”

An expert said this while looking at the soldier, whose response was not surprising. After all, they knew very little about shadow Tiraya City, and naturally did not dare ignore Feng Yuan’s warning. After confirming that no one was inside again, Feng Yuan began operating to close the different space on the spot.

Seeing this, Qi Chen scratched his head and asked puzzlingly

“Don’t we need to go to the Six-Star Tower to control it?”

“Of course not, since the Six-Star Tower’s control mode only decides how shadow Tiraya City appears, but cannot truly control the city. Otherwise, the design to control it from outside the city would be too foolish.”

Feng Yuan shook his head and said with a bit of amusement. The original purpose of this thing was for city defense, so naturally, such a big flaw couldn’t be left. Once closed here, the Six-Star Tower would automatically restore to its original state.

As the shadow of Tiraya City gradually disappeared and the park statue reappeared, Feng Yuan sighed and said

“It’s impossible to reactivate shadow Tiraya City shortly, but at least we’ve taken a good tour this time. Oh, this is for you guys. This crystal can be used separately, though I’m not sure how to extract the data.”

Taking out the Black Crystal, Feng Yuan spoke to the experts. All the information about shadow Tiraya City was inside; it’s not that Feng Yuan couldn’t use it himself, but since it belonged to Tiraya City, he couldn’t take it privately.

After figuring out how to use it, those experts carefully put away the crystals and solemnly promised to contact Maomu City through official channels once they achieved any results. To this, Feng Yuan just smiled without saying anything.

He wasn’t worried that they would deceive or backtrack; after all, he was one ‘favored by the Divine Beasts’. Malicious deception would lead to severe consequences, leaving a bad impression on an entire group of Divine Beasts, which would be quite normal.

Returning to the streets, the discussions among passersby about the secrets of Tiraya City amused Feng Yuan. It was evident that although temporary measures were established by Tiraya City, they hadn’t explained the situation of shadow Tiraya City very well.

This wasn’t surprising to Feng Yuan because they didn’t understand shadow Tiraya City themselves and couldn’t give any explanations. Those tourists seeking hidden secrets were unlikely to succeed, as Feng Yuan knew even though it’s closed early, there’s not enough energy left to maintain shadow Tiraya City’s different space.

Restoration might take about half a month. Of course, manually supplementing energy isn’t impossible; however, that would be very consuming for the Spirit Beasts. With the damaged magic formations of shadow Tiraya City, Feng Yuan doubted they would be so hurried.

“Let’s go buy some souvenirs; I wonder if there are any interesting or unique souvenirs for sale here.”

With his hands behind his head, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others and said, as Yang Hongzhi looked at the shop window displays and commented

“Tiraya City seems to be one of the early cities to develop tourism; the souvenirs here should be well-executed, but…”

“I refuse to buy a statue of the Six Gods to take back, there’s no place to put it.”

Qi Chen sighed helplessly. There were too many souvenirs bought, and his home was running out of space to put them. As for that guy Feng Yuan? Not to mention, Kong Qing’s small villa could fit quite a few, and who knows if Feng Yuan had any more strange space equipment.

When they lived in the dormitory, he had suspected that Feng Yuan had secretly altered the dorm room’s cabinet, otherwise, with what space the school cabinet had, how did Feng Yuan fit all that stuff in there?

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan, laughed lightly, and said

“Before we have the money to buy a villa, it might be better to show some restraint when buying souvenirs.”

“A villa? Those aren’t excessively expensive, but you must choose a good location. There’s no point buying too many otherwise.”

Yang Hongzhi said nonchalantly beside them. Seeing his indifferent manner, Qi Chen sighed and said

“We haven’t even enrolled yet, and it’s not certain we can end up like you.”

“Haha, you guys must have forgotten those Spiritual Medicines. The value of that pile alone is worth more than one villa, but it’s best invested into nurturing Beast Tamers. As for making money, the academy’s tasks are more than enough.”

Yang Hongzhi laughed heartily, then recalled something and looked at Qi Chen and said

“You shouldn’t think too poorly of yourselves. Remember, back when I joined the academy, it was as a regular student and I didn’t have the abundant resources you have now. Actually, even the offspring of those families may not have started as high as you.”

Recalling his earlier days, Yang Hongzhi was filled with nostalgia. Indeed, he had advanced through his own efforts and only soared after getting Najia’s approval. Otherwise, many students like him emerged every year; how many of them could participate in regional-level Beast Tamer competitions?

The identity of a Divine Pact Maker can indeed change one’s fate; that’s indisputable.
