923 Clues

The Four Elemental Laws were manifesting themselves, simultaneously sending out their power, merging together, and calming down the Demiplane’s chaos. Lin Yun took advantage of this to observe the changes of the four elements, the development of the Laws, and the fusion and transformation of the Four Elemental Laws.

Slowly, the Demiplane once again recovered to normal, but apart from the central area, the edges of the land had become incomparably desolate.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and slowly caught on to those changes, the four elements, the fusion of the Four Elemental Laws, and the development.

After opening his eyes, Lin Yun once again took control of the Demiplane’s elements and unhesitantly collapsed the stable Elemental Laws.

After doing it a dozen times, Lin Yun stopped.

This method making the Demiplane face the risk of collapsing could really make the Four Elemental Laws appear, and it also increased the connection between Lin Yun and his Demiplane. Those transformations were now directly appearing in his mind.

His understanding of the Four Elemental Laws was rapidly increasing, and the price was that the landmass of the Demiplane was becoming smaller, and everything within a hundred kilometers of the edge had become incomparably desolate. The plants that originally grew there, the birthed ore veins… Everything had been destroyed and was no longer any different from a newly born Demiplane.

After leaving the Demiplane, Lin Yun also started pondering how to increase his Rank.

He had gotten enough understanding of the Four Elemental Laws, but to advance to the 7th Rank, he would have to merge two kinds of Elemental Laws together.

Once all four kinds of Laws were fused, he would have the opportunity to advance to the Heaven Rank.

Fusing two kinds of Laws among the Four Elemental Laws wasn’t something that could be done relying purely on comprehension. He would need to experiment or stumble upon opportunities to be successful.

As Lin Yun was comprehending the Four Elemental Laws in the Demiplane, some indescribable changes happened to the Four Seasons Plain…

Spatial fluctuations occasionally appeared not far from the Grey Beastmen’s fort, and each of them would make a puppet with primitive aura appear out of nowhere.

These puppets with all kinds of crystal eyes involuntarily followed the river, some of them walking directly towards the fort.

Some of the random puppets were instantly torn apart by the puppets patrolling the city.

Others were discovered by a mage of the mage army doing a routine patrol and were ruthlessly destroyed.

No one cared about those matters, because it wasn’t unusual for puppets to appear around the Grey Beastmen’s fort. There were no magic beasts here, as they had already been wiped out. The only dangers were the puppets.

Thus, they didn’t mind some low-level puppets appearing. After being torn apart, those puppets’ components were taken by people and put away.

These wild puppets were originally the main sources of puppet parts. Some of their designs could even inspire the Grey Beastmen.

In the fort, almost every Grey Beastman had their own puppet, but that didn’t mean that the puppets’ components were cheap.

Mana reactors, weapon systems, control systems… These were costly things that not all Grey Beastmen could manufacture

Thus, these wild puppets were an important resource for the Grey Beastmen, and no one paid attention to it.

After Lin Yun came out, he wasn’t given a report about them.

And no one knew that the frequency at which the spatial fluctuations were appearing was getting higher and higher, and instead of one puppet appearing, there would now be two or three every time.

There were even some places where four or five puppets would appear at once, and it changed from rusty Level 10 puppets to Level 20 puppets, and even Level 24 or 25 puppets with powerful weapon systems.

After several days, more and more puppets were appearing outside the fort, and everyone had to hunt more of them, yet this still didn’t raise any red flags.

…Until one night, when over a thousand puppets formed a tide that attacked the Grey Beastmen’s fort.

The puppets and the defenses set up on the city walls activated and kept firing throughout the night.

Huge fireballs exploded outside the city as rays of light continuously rained down outside the city…

The loud fighting woke everyone up.

The defensive plates on the city walls started shining one after another, and the large puppet squads patrolling on the city wall immediately joined the fight.

The city gate was opened, letting several hundred sword puppets charge towards the puppets outside.

Those various kinds of puppets were turned into piles of components. Overall, the fight lasted less than three minutes before the attacking puppets were all turned into scrap.

After the fight was over, Lin Yun rushed to the city gate and looked at the parts brought in by the puppet army with a frown.

These components were in a mess. There were new parts and rusted parts together.

There was also a humanoid puppet with its exterior intact. Lin Yun recognized it with a single glance. This was a puppet from the Puppet Plane.

Only the Puppet Plane’s puppets would have those kinds of rusted components sprinkled throughout. The parts of every puppet were randomly assembled, and some of the parts weren’t even suitable.
