Chapter 2559: Struggle Without Resolution

He Lingchuan even suspected that Lingxu City and the Demon Emperor themselves did not know the latest progress of this research.

A Lian's appearance heralded a terrifying possibility:

Is the large-scale descent of the gods still far off?

While he secretly harbored misgivings, Duan He Yun continued: "When she was just born, her features were twisted, her eyes bulged, her teeth protruded, her appearance was hideously ugly, her limbs were uncoordinated, and she even had an extra hand; she was almost disposed of as defective."

The puppet trials were highly unstable, often producing many defective and substandard products that could only be disposed of.

But everyone looking at A Lian was greatly surprised.

Such a cute little miss, was she a ferocious monster when she was just born?

But thinking about her identity as a puppet/god-descent body, it also seemed reasonable.

"The problem is, how was her appearance adjusted, from monster to more human!" Dong Rui's heart itched unbearably, "Puppets can actually transform like this!"

The evolution of puppets in the world usually means becoming larger, more ferocious, and more bizarre.

The rarest thing is becoming more human-like.

"She was released from Yanxia Bay with that appearance; I originally planned to capture and destroy her after the experiment succeeded. Who knew she would flee to the suburbs of Baishan City and display astonishing spiritual intelligence, not only evading the Lingyun Palace's search for several days straight, but even in a state of hunger, she did not prey on mortals." Duan He Yun turned and pointed at A Lian, "Her change in appearance also began then. Later I asked her how she did it, and she said she saw human children and wished to become like them so she could play with them, and we wouldn't be able to catch her. So she made herself strive to transform."

As he spoke, A Lian hid behind him, taking him as her only safe harbor, timidly looking at others.

This is the timid appearance of a little girl; where does she look like a puppet?

Everyone in Doukou Garden suddenly understood. The puppet that had lurked in the farm for three months without harming anyone was A Lian!

"Spiritual intelligence? Nonsense!" Xiao Ping crossed her arms in front, let out a cold laugh, "You yourself know this is not the spiritual intelligence a puppet should have. I've told you many times, she is a transformation of the Hidden God Monarch's soul!"

The two terms "Hidden God Monarch" and "soul" appearing together delivered a huge shock to He Lingchuan and everyone in Doukou Garden.

No wonder, no wonder Xiao Ping regards A Lian as a calamity and insists on eliminating her.

"The soul of the Hidden God Monarch has been completely eradicated, this was personally tested by the Holy Sovereign." Duan He Yun also knew to raise the tiger skin as a big banner, "You mean the Holy Sovereign made a mistake?"

"Don't use the Holy Sovereign to pressure me! Our experiments have no precedent, so we must question authority!" Xiao Ping refused to accept this, "The Holy Sovereign has already authorized, all doubtful experiments can proceed, without any need for misgivings!"

The descent of the demon gods, whether for the heavenly realm or for the Holy Sovereign of Lingxu himself, is a all-or-nothing gamble; he himself must certainly bow to reality, seek truth from facts.

"If you want to question, you also need proper grounds!" Duan He Yun and the Lady have not been sparring with words for the first time, very adept, "What is your basis for identifying A Lian as the Hidden God Monarch? Besides her being overly intelligent, there is only once of sleep-talking in a dream! We should speak with evidence in our actions; your stubborn insistence is nothing but jealousy and hatred toward A Lian!"

"That time I used calming incense to let her sleep, she said 'I want you all to die.' At that time she had just been enlightened for less than two months, she should have no concept of life and death, how could she hate us to the bone? Moreover, you and I have created so many god-bodies; which one could like her, actively transform her own form from disabled to a human little girl? This kind of precise control of the body belongs only to the Hidden God Monarch. Even if she no longer possesses complete monarch consciousness, but as long as she is a transformation, it is enough to bring us misfortune." Xiao Ping said coldly, "If you usually could observe her carefully, not be bewitched by ghosts, you would see her eyes are full of calculation. So wicked at such a young age, what will she be like when older? If she retrieves the Hidden God Monarch's body, how much trouble will she cause to our experiments and to the Holy Sovereign's grand plan?"

"You finally spoke your inner voice, 'what if she grows older'? You fear how big she will grow?" Duan He Yun looked at her, his eyes full of disgust, "These years, whenever I took a liking to something, you wanted to eliminate it, still borrowing the excuse of righteous indignation..."

"I have long understood, a dog cannot change its habit of eating feces. But I never imagined, such dangerous feces, you also want to taste!" Seeing his gaze, Xiao Ping's eye twitched, also too lazy to remain reserved, "I will nip the threat in the bud, what problem is there? Even if my judgment is wrong, it's just signing a god-body for the Hulu Heavenly God Sovereign, what serious consequence is that?"

She pointed at A Lian: "You are weak and sentimental, secretly controlled by this little mutant, already breaking several rules you set yourself without even realizing it. But the Holy Sovereign's experiment is paramount; if you persist in your delusion, don't blame me for being impolite."

"In just a few months, she has become like this, showing her potential remains great." Duan He Yun stroked A Lian's hair, "How much insight have we gained from her, you ought to calculate it well? One of the most important subsequent abilities of the god-descent body is to continually perfect and develop, even to continue cultivation! So far, which puppet has displayed this ability?"

"She..."

Dong Rui in Doukou Garden hearing this, his eyes also widened.

"——Only A Lian!" Duan He Yun did not let the Lady interject, "Only she possesses the ability to change herself, and her strength has also been rapidly increasing! Not to mention she still has human intellect. Such an almost perfect experimental subject you do not cherish, for your own private desire, single-mindedly wanting to kill her! You truly are unfit to lead the Lingyun Palace!"

He turned toward Hulu God, speaking solemnly:

"You personally preside over Lingyun Palace, also wanting the god-body trial to proceed smoothly. The opportunity in our research progress might just be hidden in A Lian; at this moment to let her perish is truly a pity, and might also affect subsequent progress."

Hulu God looked at him, slowly saying: "Your wish to protect this little girl's life is very strong."

Between two human beings, a boring and meaningless quarrel. If it were not for His patience growing better and better, He would have long turned and walked away.

"For the Holy Sovereign's god-descent grand plan." Duan He Yun neither humble nor arrogant.

He is also one of the main leaders of the entire god-body research plan, facing the heavenly god respectfully but not humbly.

"But I do not intend to use her right away." Hulu God looked toward A Lian, who shrank back, frightened. "Merely to plant a mark of god-descent, is this not permissible?"

"This......" Duan He Yun was momentarily at a loss for words, Hulu God was not led around by his rhetoric.
