Chapter 507: Figurine Fanatic

However, before that, there are still some matters that need to be handled.

Thinking of this, Li Heng's expression could not help but turn strange.

They actually dared to do it.

The Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ever since Li Heng left, the Empress Wu Wushuang had utilized her power to disconnect the Great Zhou from the Time Axis of the outside world, beginning a period of rapid development, turning from death to life.

Only so much time has passed in the outside world.

But the Great Zhou has already developed for as long as one hundred thousand years.

The Empress Wu Wushuang stood tall atop the imperial palace.

She looked down at this Great Zhou, revealing a faint smile.

As expected, her decision was correct.

Although disconnecting from the outside Time Axis would lead to an inability to receive replenishment from external forces, like water without a source, she had already stored up much power before making this decision, so there was no need to worry about this problem for the time being.

That is why the Great Zhou has been able to develop as it has today.

At this moment, if one were to use a percentage progress bar to describe it, the progress of the Great Zhou turning from death to life and transforming back into the world has already exceeded fifty percent, which is worth celebrating.

Wu Wushuang shifted her gaze, looking toward the direction Li Heng had departed in, toward the Central Great World and the land of the Heavenly Court, her eyes deep and unfathomable, not knowing what she was thinking.

Then, she raised an eyebrow, her expression strange.

What are these two girls doing?

Within a Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven of the Great Zhou, Wu Wushuang's right-hand women, Huo Ling and Shuiyue, were gathered together. They looked solemn, as if they were in the middle of something important.

In fact, this matter was indeed very important.

They were crafting a figurine.

"Shuiyue, how is the shaping on your side coming along? I don't know why, but I keep making mistakes on my side, as if some force is interfering." The hot-bodied Huo Ling revealed a look of helplessness.

"It's not going smoothly on my side either; I can only get a barely passable outline model. Do you think he discovered it? But that makes no sense; we are just crafting a doll, after all."

Shuiyue was also very puzzled.

From the perspective of external conditions, this shouldn't be the case; after all, the Great Zhou is now completely disconnected from the outside world, and one could say they are two relatively independent existences, so no external force should be able to interfere with them.

In front of them.

A doll with somewhat blurry features stood there. If one were to distinguish carefully, one would find that this doll with blurry features vaguely resembled Li Heng!

In fact, it wasn't just a vague resemblance.

Because this was indeed a doll of Li Heng.

Ever since Li Heng left the Great Zhou, the two had been thinking about whether they could craft a doll to amuse themselves; after all, such a powerful and handsome man is hard to find in the world.

Thus, over the hundred thousand years, they had been trying from time to time, but in the end, all attempts had ended in failure.

This time, they had finally found some tricks and managed to craft a doll that was somewhat blurry, but in the end, it still could not be specific to Li Heng's appearance, which was very strange.

"You actually went behind my back to do such a thing!"

The surrounding Void rippled, and Wu Wushuang stepped out from it. She stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Shuiyue and Huo Ling, and looking at this doll with the somewhat blurry features, her face as cold as frost.

Shuiyue and Huo Ling stiffened upon hearing this.

It's over, they had been discovered.

"Speak, what exactly are you two trying to do by crafting this doll?"

Wu Wushuang questioned slowly.

Shuiyue and Huo Ling were even more embarrassed upon hearing this. How were they supposed to say it? They couldn't exactly say that they thought Li Heng was too good-looking and wanted to craft a doll to keep as a memento, right?

That would only make them seem too infatuated.

Although everyone has an appreciation for beauty, if men can have it, why can't they, as women? Besides, they hadn't done anything harmful or wicked; what was wrong with crafting a doll?

They had previously, by chance, discovered while wandering through the Great Thousand Worlds that many groups of living beings in various worlds liked these kinds of dolls, so their hobby was actually quite normal.

However, they couldn't say that to the Empress.

Thus, the two thought for a moment and spoke together.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we are providing an anchor point for that Daoist Li to return. As Your Majesty knows, the journey to the Central Great World is treacherous, and there is no guarantee that Daoist Li won't encounter any danger."

"Ordinary danger is fine; with Daoist Li's strength, he would certainly be able to resolve it, but if he encounters some powerful danger and cannot escape, that would be troublesome."

"So, after thinking it over, in order to repay Daoist Li for saving the Great Zhou, we intended to provide an anchor point for his return and descent, so that at a critical moment, we could guide Daoist Li away from danger."

After saying this, the two breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat proud.

As expected of us, to think we could come up with such a reason.

Wu Wushuang's expression was strange.

It would be a miracle if she actually believed that.

"My two ministers, do you not know that the Great Zhou has already disconnected from the outside world? It will be ten Great Cycles before the Great Zhou reconnects with the outside world, and during this period, no anchor point will be of any use. And now, not even one Great Cycle has passed, yet you have already begun to craft an anchor point for Daoist Li; isn't that a bit too early?"

Wu Wushuang said deeply.

"Cough, cough, Your Majesty, as you know, it's better to be prepared."

The two answered very awkwardly. They didn't expect the reason they gave to actually fool their Empress, but as long as it could pass on the surface, that was enough.

"Heh, you two girls."

Wu Wushuang said calmly.

If it weren't for the fact that her relationship with these two was not purely that of monarch and subject, but rather that of long-time friends, or even harem members, she would have long since punished these two for the crime of deceiving the monarch.

"Forget it, I'll let you get away with it this time. But I am curious, are you two girls so love-struck? You'd risk your lives to craft this doll?" Wu Wushuang spoke directly.

Huo Ling and Shuiyue's expressions immediately turned solemn.

They looked at each other, then bowed to Wu Wushuang and spoke, "Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand our hobby. We just like crafting dolls. To us, Daoist Li is nothing more than a perfect character from a storybook."

"Where would that word Your Majesty mentioned even come from?"

Wu Wushuang fell silent upon hearing this; she suddenly felt that what these two said made sense, yet it also seemed not to make sense.

"Forget it, forget it, say whatever you want to say."

Wu Wushuang shook her head, not bothering to pay attention to the two's words.

"However, you two simply don't understand how to mold people; you lack Godly Intent. Without Godly Intent, naturally, you cannot mold a specific appearance. After all, an existence like Fellow Daoist Li is not simple."

Wu Wushuang commented while looking at this puppet with a blurred appearance. Shuiyue and Huoling were stunned; could it be that Her Majesty was also interested in this puppet?

"What, what are you looking at? You have already molded it to this extent, how can you waste it?"

Wu Wushuang raised her delicate eyebrows and said calmly.

The two were silent.

They felt that perhaps they should see through it without pointing it out.

At this moment, Wu Wushuang continued to speak.

"Now Great Zhou is disconnected from the outside world; time, space, and even Causality are independent, so you don't need to worry that Fellow Daoist Li will sense anything."

"But even so, this puppet still needs to be made more distinct; it can only be shaped into a puppet that approximates Fellow Daoist Li."

"This can also be considered a form of respect for Fellow Daoist Li."

The two nodded blindly, like chickens pecking at the ground.

You are the boss now, everything you say is right.

"You two are really... I can hear you."

Suddenly, the puppet with the blurred face spoke helplessly; it was the voice of Li Heng.
