Chapter 476: The Opening of Anbao Hall

After destroying the Glory Angel's super Cut, talismans flew across the sky and shot onto the surface of the divine corpse, binding it layer by layer.

The divine corpse had only just had its seal undone for a moment before Jiang Dashi sealed it up again.

Streaks of golden light flashed by, and the talismans formed a super array.

The divine corpse was suppressed very peacefully, its body covered in golden inscriptions, and the Paper Puppet revealed itself once more.

The Paper Puppet took out the Red Paper Umbrella, wore a cheongsam, and used countless paper figures to lift the Golden Dragon Mace.

Even the Kang Jinlong, which was wide-eyed in the air watching everything, was sealed by the Paper Puppet into a paper figure.

Having lost its physical form, the Kang Jinlong was easily handled by the Paper Puppet.

Jiang Dashi looked extremely exhausted; he tilted his head back and swallowed a pill the size of a dragon's eye.

It took a long time for him to recover.

"Ye Bai, the divine corpse is the greatest secret of our Heaven Gate."

"It cannot be leaked. Once other gods know that we possess a divine corpse comparable to a Creator God, I fear we will never have another day of peace."

"You must find it strange that even though the status of the Blue Star world is very low, our Heaven Gate's founder was able to find the divine corpse of Pan and turn it into a puppet."

"That is because our founder came from another plane, a plane much higher than Blue Star."

"It is not just our Heaven Gate; many legacies in Yan Country also come from higher planes."

"Even the Crystal Wall of Blue Star has a Seal Array set upon it, strictly forbidding higher civilizations from entering here."

"It is just that this Seal Array has endured for tens of thousands of years, and due to the plane's ascension, the Seal Array began to have problems, which is why higher God Planes are invading here."

Jiang Dashi took a sip of tea and looked at Ye Bai with a serious expression: "This is the greatest secret of our Heaven Gate; no one knows that Heaven Gate possesses a divine corpse."

"Furthermore, every time the divine corpse's seal is opened, it cannot exceed a quarter of an hour, otherwise the divine power remaining within the divine corpse might break the seal."

"At the same time, it will cause a backlash against the person controlling the seal."

"The divine corpse will instantly transform into a divine disaster and manifest a malice that hates all living things."

"When that time comes, not only Yan Country, but I fear the entire Blue Star will become nutrients for the divine corpse."

"Due to the lack of a divine soul and heart, the divine corpse currently only has Ninth Rank strength, but its physical body is of Weak Divine Power."

"If it plunders the vitality of Blue Star and the power of countless faiths, then the divine corpse could immediately transform into a Medium Divine Power, or even a more powerful god."

"The race of Pan is capable of fighting enemies across ranks."

Only then did Jiang Dashi's complexion look a little better.

"Because our Heaven Gate is passed down to only one person per generation, I feel that I am old now, and I do not have as much energy as before."

"This time, undoing the seal consumed nearly ninety percent of my mental energy."

"This is the last time I will unseal the divine corpse."

"Therefore, Ye Bai, from now on, you are the guardian of the divine corpse."

"When you break through to the Ninth Rank and sign a contract with the Paper Puppet, you will be able to control the divine corpse by relying on the Heaven Gate Order."

Jiang Dashi's aura had faded significantly, and his speech was listless; it seemed that undoing the seal had a great impact on him.

However, this also indirectly revealed that Jiang Dashi's true strength was at the Ninth Rank.

"Master, there is one thing I don't understand right now: since our Yan Country has many Ninth Rank powerhouses, why are the Eight Kings still so fearless?"

"Aren't the Eight Kings all peak Eighth Rank powerhouses?"

Jiang Dashi cleared up the confusion for Ye Bai: "Do you think the Eight Kings are only at the peak of the Eighth Rank?"

"The people of Beautiful Country have mastered a very special power of divine descent; at the moment of life and death, they might disregard everything to summon a powerful god."

"That is why we will not make a move against the Eight Kings without absolute certainty."

"Of course, if Yan Country encounters danger, we will not be soft-handed."

"Ye Bai, my strength has been suppressed by me; on the surface, I am also just an Eighth Rank powerhouse."

"As a Beast Tamer who specializes in healing, reaching the Ninth Rank not only lacks any deterrent power, but it would instead arouse the wariness of others."

"Alright, I am a bit tired. Paper Puppet, wipe the memory of the Kang Jinlong later."

"Do not let others know the secret of Heaven Gate. I am going to rest for a while."

"I will leave the repair of the Golden Dragon Mace to you."

Jiang Dashi could not help with the rest, so he simply returned to his room to rest.

For Ye Bai, what remained was the work of repairing the Golden Dragon Mace.

The Golden Dragon Mace had already been repaired; he only needed to place the Kang Jinlong into the Golden Dragon Mace, and this mission would be complete.

"Paper Puppet, erase the memory of the Kang Jinlong having seen the divine corpse. News of the divine corpse must not be leaked."

The Paper Puppet nodded. She took out a paper figure in the shape of a dragon, and with her jade-white fingers, she directly erased the memory of the Kang Jinlong.

However, in order not to be seen through, the Paper Puppet also adjusted the memory of the Kang Jinlong, making it seem that the memory error was caused by the shattering of the Golden Dragon Mace and the Kang Jinlong being on the verge of death.

"The inscriptions also need to be repaired."

Ye Bai did not understand inscription studies; he just followed the pattern and finished repairing the inscriptions using enchanted gold powder.

"When it is almost done, I still need to show it to the Yellow Dragon Marshal to see if there are any problems."

"Paper Puppet, help me stuff the Vessel Soul of the Kang Jinlong into the Golden Dragon Mace."

The Paper Puppet reached out her hand and tore the dragon-shaped paper figure to pieces.

The fragments fluttered in the air like dancing butterflies.

Immediately following this, a dragon soul emitted a deafening dragon roar.

This sound echoed in the empty space.

She pressed the Vessel Soul directly onto the Golden Dragon Mace.

The shape of the Golden Dragon Mace was like an axe, but it was different from an axe.

It had a sharp drill bit in the middle, and an axe face on both the left and right sides.

I saw the paper puppet wielding the Golden Dragon Mace, swinging it with such force that it whistled through the air.

The handle was shaped like a ferocious dragon head, and two thin, long golden threads formed the dragon whiskers of the Kang Golden Dragon.

"The Golden Dragon Mace has been repaired, but the Vessel Soul of the Kang Golden Dragon suffered heavy damage and we modified its memory, so it will likely need to sleep for quite a while before it can fully awaken."

The paper puppet said this to Ye Bai.

"I understand."

"As long as we can repair the Golden Dragon Mace and prevent the Twenty-Eight Mansions Array from shattering, we have performed a great service; the rest is nothing."

Ye Bai's words made the paper puppet nod.

"By the way, Ye Bai, since you haven't returned to Anbao Hall for a long time, these are tasks that have been gathering dust at Anbao Hall for ages. Do you think you could handle them?"

The paper puppet held a thick stack of papers; these were orders that had accumulated over time because Ye Bai and Jiang Dashi were away.

"Fine, I will take this opportunity to accept the orders."

Ye Bai nodded, and he began accepting orders starting from the top.

Diyong City, this is a third-tier city in Yan Country.

An Iron-Blooded Warrior holding an infant was walking on the street, his body emitting a pungent, bloody stench.

This place was being ravaged by a Beast Tide, and the warrior gripped a sharp giant axe in his hand.

Thick smoke billowed all around; the warrior casually hacked a lunging giant rat in two, then suddenly stomped his foot, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground, directly burying a group of giant rats.

Although these giant rats were only third-rank Exotic Beasts, their bodies were the size of calves.

The warrior had lost contact with his unit, and his Pet Beast had been severely injured half a year ago, lingering on the brink of death ever since.

His only hope now was to reach the legendary Anbao Hall to help treat his Pet Beast.

The number of giant rats grew, and these calf-sized giant rats stared covetously at the Iron-Blooded Warrior one by one.

The living creatures in the vicinity had already been devoured by them, and at this moment, they were all ravenously hungry.

Looking at the Iron-Blooded Warrior's body, their eyes shone; they couldn't wait to feast.

They surrounded the warrior, and every time the warrior killed a giant rat, it would be dragged down by the others.

The bodies would become flesh and blood for the giant rats to advance; when they were hungry, they would eat anything, including their own kind.

As more and more giant rats were killed, the warrior's hands became increasingly heavy.

He held the infant in his arms tightly; this infant was one the warrior had found in a park.

The ground was covered in pools of blood, and the warrior did not know if the infant's parents had been killed by the giant rats.

The warrior's strength was fading, and he felt more and more exhausted.

Seeing the giant rats surrounding him growing in number, the warrior's eyes were filled with despair.

"Little one, it seems I cannot escort you to a safe place; we shall have to head to heaven together."

Just then, countless paper figures fell from the sky; they were extremely agile, weaving through the giant rats.

I saw them very easily use incredibly sharp paper blades to slit the throats of the giant rats.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and the large amount of blood caused even more giant rats to swarm over.

However, around the warrior, it was as if there were an invisible wall, blocking the giant rats.

"Hello, I am the manager of Anbao Hall, and I have come here to pick you up under the orders of the boss of Anbao Hall."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting; is your Pet Beast still alive?"

"Judging from the data from half a year ago, your Pet Beast's injuries are not particularly severe."

The warrior was speechless for a moment; full-body comminuted fractures—this kind of injury is not severe?

If it weren't for his teammates obtaining the extremely precious Life Amber to keep his Pet Beast's life hanging by a thread, his Pet Beast would likely have turned to dust by now.

However, the warrior did not say much, instead raising the infant in his arms: "Can I take her with me?"

The paper puppet nodded with a smile: "Of course you can. You are my customer here; besides ensuring your safety, I will also provide you with sufficient protection, including the infant in your arms."

At this moment, the giant rats had already surrounded the paper puppet and the warrior, constantly charging at the Barrier, hoping to destroy it.

The giant rats were only third-rank Exotic Beasts, while the paper puppet's strength was dozens of times greater.

Therefore, the Barrier stood firmly.

"What noisy fellows."

Originally, the paper puppet had no intention of taking action, but these giant rats were truly courting death.

So the paper puppet waved her hand abruptly, and countless paper blades made of paper pierced fiercely toward the giant rats.

The moment the giant rats touched the paper blades, they were pierced through the brain by a single blade.

They fell to the ground dead one after another, instantly falling silent.

"Originally, if you hadn't provoked me, I would have left you alone."

"But now, I have changed my mind."

The paper puppet said with a smile, revealing a sinister grin; she opened her hands, and countless paper scraps flew in the air, dancing about.

These paper scraps transformed into countless sharp nails, spreading out in all directions.

The giant rats seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, falling to the ground one after another, with a large needle hole appearing between their brows.

If one were to scan the brains of the giant rats with a CT machine, one could easily find that their entire brains had been stirred into mush.

"Come, Mr. Zhan Ye, our Hall Master has been waiting for a long time."

The paper puppet opened a portal and said to Zhan Ye with utmost respect.

Zhan Ye hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the portal.

The next second, he arrived in a very spacious place, and a faint scent of incense wafted through the air.

A person wearing an ogre mask was sitting in the main seat.

"Hello, I am the Hall Master of Anbao Hall, Baiye. May I ask if you need to treat a Pet Beast?"

"However, before the treatment, I must emphasize one point: my treatment fees are very expensive."

"This means that you need to pawn something in order to receive my full-effort assistance."

Zhan Ye nodded; he had long since prepared himself to pay a heavy price.

"May I ask what I need to pawn to you?"

Ye Bai waved his hand, and a blood-stained coin emerged from Zhan Ye's pants pocket, landing in Ye Bai's hand.

"I sense a strong faith within this coin; it is precisely because of this faith that you are able to disregard your own safety and forge ahead courageously."

"Your payment has already been given; release your Pet Beast."

"Right, don't release them all; release the Pet Beast that is injured the worst, and I will treat them for you one by one."

Zhan Ye released his most severely injured Pet Beast, the Armored Tyrannosaurus.

This was an Exotic Beast that looked very similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, except that its body was covered in a thick layer of Iron Armor.

The Iron Armor had already been pierced through by someone, and its body was covered in countless cracks.

Even the abdomen of the Armored Tyrannosaurus had been punched through, leaving a large hole.

"This is my most powerful, and also most severely injured, Armored Tyrannosaurus; I wonder if you can help me heal it."

"I still have many more blood-stained coins on me, and I can give them all to you, but my Pet Beasts cannot have even the slightest problem; this is my lifelong promise to them."

Zhan Ye intended to hand over all the blood-stained coins in his possession to Ye Bai.

"No need; I have already accepted the payment, and I will naturally do my utmost to help you."

"The surgical treatment for this Armored Tyrannosaurus is actually quite simple; Sunflower Fairy, you control the Clone and complete this surgery."

Sunflower Fairy nodded, and a dazzling, intense light appeared on its body.

The ground cracked open one after another, and new sprouts grew out.

These sprouts intertwined together, forming a humanoid vine.

"You help repair the damaged body of the Armored Tyrannosaurus, and then use the Heavenly Dew to help the Armored Tyrannosaurus recover."

The humanoid vine's hands were extremely sharp, just like a sharpened, honed Surgical Knife.

It used the Surgical Knife to slice open the scales on the Armored Tyrannosaurus's body.

Large chunks of scales fell off its body and landed on the ground.

A long, narrow scratch appeared on the back of the Armored Tyrannosaurus.

Sunflower Fairy controlled the Clone and skillfully performed a deep examination.

They discovered that many of the Armored Tyrannosaurus's bones had new injuries added on top of old ones.
