201: Goodbye, Puppet Master

However, sometimes reality truly is unreasonable, which, for a seasoned scientific researcher like Mo Yi, was somewhat routine.

After reviewing the materials Xu Yan sent and pondering for a moment, Mo Yi said, "Alright, Xu Yan, because of the Outer Domain, I can't leave right now. However, I will contact someone trustworthy who has research in this area to go and meet you.

As for now, continue with your original plan: let your Little Spider keep assimilating that 'Moon.' Don't do anything else for the time being. Just let the converging Power of Faith float around the 'Moon' and ignore it; especially do not absorb it casually."

Afterward, Mo Yi briefly mentioned a few precautions to Xu Yan, and just in case, temporarily granted Xu Yan partial weapon authorization within the Beidou System again.

The day after the two ended their communication, Xu Yan, who was watching Zhu Yan continue to devour and assimilate the "Moon," suddenly felt a change in the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

The next moment, a somewhat familiar youthful voice entered Xu Yan's ears.

"Little Xu Yan, we meet again~~"

Looking in the direction the voice came from, he indeed saw Kui Fang casually leaning back on the bone throne.

"Senior Kui Fang, long time no see."

"Hmm, that guy Mo Yi said you discovered something interesting here and asked me to come take a look."

While speaking, Kui Fang manipulated the bone throne beneath him to move beside Xu Yan, his gaze sweeping over the Floating Continent model before them.

At first glance, Kui Fang saw Zhu Yan, surrounded by the Power of Faith, atop the "Moon," as well as the malice emanating from the Secret Realm, which was nothing to him.

"Hmm, a Secret Realm hostile to the Human Race actually has beings that believe in a human Spirit Beast, and their numbers and strength are not low. Furthermore, when facing this kind of 'rebellious son' that appeared within itself, this Secret Realm only gave a minor punishment and didn't directly melt it down, nor did it tamper with the Power of Faith. This is quite interesting.

Here's what we'll do: I will teach you the Secret Technique for refining the Myriad Souls Puppet Body. You pass it on to that Little Spider, and let it condense and refine those scattered Powers of Faith into a faith puppet body.

Don't worry, regardless of any schemes involved, you can directly take the benefits. Any negative consequences will be borne entirely by the puppet body, or failing that, by the Sect that developed this Secret Technique to bear the Karma. Nothing will fall onto the two of you."

As he spoke, Kui Fang raised his hand and pointed at the space between Xu Yan's eyebrows, and immediately, a Secret Technique named "Myriad Souls Puppet Body" appeared in Xu Yan's mind.

Following the contract between them, Xu Yan transmitted the newly acquired Myriad Souls Puppet Body to Zhu Yan, instructing it to use this Secret Technique to condense the surrounding scattered Powers of Faith into its own faith puppet body.

After about two hours, Zhu Yan successfully received and learned the Secret Technique. As its thoughts flickered, the surrounding scattered Powers of Faith began to converge.

Since it was still in the condensing stage, the puppet body currently existed temporarily as an Energy Sphere. However, what surprised Xu Yan was that the faith puppet bodies condensed from the converging Powers of Faith were not one, but two.

One was entirely black, yet its interior was filled with light and heat; the other was radiating light, yet its interior was cold and dark.

From the information fed back by Zhu Yan, it was learned that the Powers of Faith converging towards it were not uniform, but broadly divided into two different major directions.

The former represented fear and submission regarding Zhu Yan devouring the "Sun" and plunging the world into chaos and darkness; the latter represented worship and gratitude for Zhu Yan transforming the "Moon" and allowing light and hope to return to the world.

Due to lack of proficiency, Zhu Yan, who had only recently learned the Secret Technique, could not yet merge these two types of faith, which were of the same origin but different in nature. It could only settle for condensing them separately into two different faith puppet bodies.

After telling Kui Fang about this, the latter was not surprised and said to Xu Yan, "That's not a problem. Once you're proficient with the Secret Technique, you can merge the two puppet bodies into one.

However, because of the short time and the small number of believers, the generated Power of Faith is not abundant, and now that it has been split into two, it is simply not enough to fully condense the faith puppet bodies.

Therefore, next, we need to promote the development of those Cults within the Secret Realm to obtain more Power of Faith."

Saying this, Kui Fang raised his hand again and pointed into the air towards the "Floating Continent model" before them, and a stream of power descended into the Secret Realm.

However, the moment the power Kui Fang invested, intended to grant reinforcement to the "believers," appeared, it triggered a strong stress reaction from the Secret Realm. Before it could land on the Floating Continent, the Secret Realm, at the cost of its own origin, launched a suicidal interception against it.

This suicidal interception directly caused a portion of the Secret Realm's origin to be lost, leading to turmoil and various natural disasters on the Secret Realm's Floating Continent, resulting in the demise of many Secret Realm Beings.

This extremely fierce reaction made Kui Fang realize that the Secret Realm was still that "Anti-Human" Secret Realm. The fact that Xu Yan's Little Spider received special treatment inside did not mean that other people or Spirit Beasts could also receive special treatment.

Afterward, Kui Fang tentatively transmitted a Secret Technique directly into the mind of a Secret Realm Being in the form of an information stream. Predictably, this Secret Technique, along with the being who received it and all living creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers, was instantly obliterated by the Secret Realm.

Dissatisfied with this outcome, Kui Fang clicked his tongue, then looked at Xu Yan and said, "Xu Yan, you try putting a stream of power in there too."

Hearing Kui Fang's words, Xu Yan nodded. However, he did not possess Kui Fang's ability to input power into the Secret Realm from a distance out of thin air. Instead, he took out a Colorless Crystal from his Storage Device and injected his own power into it.

Soon, the colorless crystal transformed into black and white, and Xu Yan threw it into the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm also intercepted this Black and White Crystal Stone thrown by Xu Yan.

However, the intercepting power and intent were not as fierce as they were against Kui Fang. After wearing down about thirty percent of the power within the crystal, the Secret Realm allowed the black and white crystal stone to enter the Floating Continent, where it ultimately landed in the hands of a Commander Rank believer with pure faith who was currently being pursued.

Facing the Black and White Crystal Stone that suddenly descended from the sky, and sensing the familiar aura on it, the believer decisively caught it.

The moment the two touched, the crystal stone transformed into power and merged into the believer's body.

While his body, which was covered in wounds and nearing its limit due to the pursuit, instantly recovered, a black light shot toward his pursuers behind him, instantly obliterating all of them.
