Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan strolled slowly along a stream in the secret realm.
We'll chat about whatever comes to mind.
No matter what Bai Qingqing talks about, Yun Zhan can always respond appropriately.
As usual, everyone was very happy and harmonious.
After walking a few hundred steps, I came across a small valley.
There seems to be a secret realm hidden in the small valley.
Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan exchanged a glance, then quickly walked over.
There is no entrance to the secret realm.
After discussing it with Xiao Hao, Bai Qingqing took Yun Zhan's hand and, with the help of the system, went inside.
Bai Qingqing was very satisfied with Xiao Hao's generosity this time.
Unlike the birdsong and fragrant flowers outside.
This secret realm was desolate and had a gloomy feel to it.
Although Yun Zhan knew that Bai Qingqing was the legendary one, and that no one or nothing in the world could harm her.
But he still instinctively stepped forward, half-blocking Bai Qingqing: "Be careful."
This is my responsibility as a boyfriend.
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes to look at the skeletons scattered on the ground, and frowned: "This is..."
"It should be animal remains." Yun Zhan said solemnly.
“So many fresh animal skeletons,” Bai Qingqing said after circling around. “But there doesn’t seem to be any sign of life here.”
Yun Zhan also closed his eyes and sensed it for a while.
No, there isn't.
"Let's walk a little further in," Bai Qingqing said, as she and Yun Zhan continued walking side by side.
I walked about a hundred steps.
I saw a cave.
The cave was pitch black, looking even more eerie than the outside.
Yun Zhan took out a moonstone.
Soft light immediately shone into every inch of the cave.
Then……
Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan saw a large, humanoid figure huddled in a corner of the cave.
He turned his back to them, revealing his broad back.
And the back of the head.
"Is this... a person?" Bai Qingqing turned to look at Yun Zhan and asked uncertainly.
However, there was no trace of human presence.
And this thing is way too big.
Who in their right mind is that tall? He's the size of three or four grown men.
"Puppet." Yun Zhan's expression immediately turned serious.
He personally witnessed the massive puppet army on New Year's Eve.
That's what it looks like.
But wasn't it already cleared up with firecrackers at that time?
Why is there another one hiding here?
Could it be that they weren't together?
"This is a puppet cast into this world by a half-step Celestial God from another world, with the aim of controlling this world," Yun Zhan explained.
The puppet heard the sound and turned its head to look.
With just one glance, the puppet's body began to tremble uncontrollably, its large eyes revealing a human-like fear.
That was Qiu Bai's emotion.
This is the puppet that Qiu Bai and his group are controlling.
After escaping from the Southern Wilderness Continent on New Year's Eve, they traveled all the way to the Eastern Fuzhou Continent.
Somehow, I stumbled into a secret realm.
The kind where you can't get out.
As Qiu Bai was figuring out how to break out of this secret realm, he suddenly sensed an aura so powerful it was suffocating him.
The puppet turned its head and saw Bai Qingqing.
He naturally didn't know Bai Qingqing.
However, he could sense the intertwining and fusion of the laws of Heaven and the laws of the Great Dao from Bai Qingqing.
One glance was enough to fill him with fear.
That feeling was something that even if three thousand celestial gods gathered together and exerted pressure on him at the same time, they could not compare.
He had only one thought at that moment.
That means kneeling down.
Unfortunately, the puppet's movements are not very convenient, and kneeling is a bit difficult.
“Yun Zhan is right, so we must stop him,” Xiao Hao said, picking up where Yun Zhan left off.
Yun Zhan is really good.
If there's a problem, please explain.
This will save it a lot of effort in making up lies.
"How can we stop it?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Just kill it, or take it in," Xiao Hao said. "Killing it is easy; the system can lend the host its power."
"Did you accept it?" Bai Qingqing asked purely out of curiosity.
"It's simple," Xiao Hao said. "Just beat him half to death, and then plant a soul imprint on him."
"Isn't this a puppet? Does it have a soul?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"The host can create a soul for it and then implant a soul imprint. From then on, it will be like a brick for the host, ready to be moved wherever needed," Xiao Hao said.
"How do I shape a soul?" Bai Qingqing asked excitedly.
She is now very interested in this second option.
"Wasn't there a bag of soil in the previous return gift pack?" Xiao Hao said.
"What does soil have to do with the soul?" Bai Qingqing frowned.
"In Chinese legends, Nuwa created humans from clay, didn't she?" Xiao Hao retorted.
“That’s just a shell,” Bai Qingqing argued.
“Can a mere shell be called a person? Of course it has a soul,” Xiao Hao said confidently.
"Fine, you're the system, you decide." Bai Qingqing said helplessly, "Then how do I make it?"
"Mix it with the Nine Heavens Divine Spring water, then toss it between the puppet's eyebrows," Xiao Hao said.
"Then it has a soul? How do I implant a soul imprint then?" Bai Qingqing asked while mixing the mud.
"Leave the rest to our system," Xiao Hao said.
In reality, the concept of a soul imprint is purely fabricated. As long as the master creates a soul for the puppet, the puppet will be 100% loyal.
However, saying it this way sounds rather sophisticated.
We'll just keep fooling them for as long as we can.
As more and more of its master's true nature returned, it had a premonition that the days to come would become increasingly difficult.
"Alright then." Bai Qingqing quickly molded a ball of clay.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you..." Yun Zhan asked.
"Let's acquire a puppet." Bai Qingqing smiled and slammed the mud ball onto the puppet's forehead.
The accuracy is exceptional.
The mud ball suddenly disappeared into the puppet's brow.
The puppet's previously somewhat empty eyes suddenly became clearer and more spirited.
"Master, human!" The puppet turned around and faced Bai Qingqing, speaking slowly and deliberately, like a child who had just learned to speak.
His big eyes revealed a clear sense of foolishness.
Bai Qingqing smiled and waved to the puppet.
The puppet immediately crouched down, staring wide-eyed at Bai Qingqing: "Master, what are your orders?"
“From now on, you will be called Dayu,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, Master," the puppet said happily.
It didn't know what it was happy about, but it just felt very joyful.
At the same time, Qiu Bai and the other two all groaned.
The puppets they created by hand broke free from their control and even developed their own souls and thoughts.
They were met with a backlash.
The backlash was particularly severe, even causing Qiu Bai's half-step Celestial God Realm to become somewhat unstable.
If it weren't for Yu Wan and Tie Mu's desperate efforts to maintain the relationship, even at the cost of their own life force, Qiu Bai would probably have fallen from the God-Emperor realm.
It was a struggle to stabilize the situation.
The three looked at each other for a while, and finally Yu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Who was that girl we just saw...?"
