Chapter 508: Evil God Puppets

The three women's bodies suddenly stiffened.

Had they heard some incredible sound?

They saw the puppet before them acting of its own accord, twisting its hands and feet, its joints making "Crack!" sounds from time to time, and its blurry features shifting into the likeness of Li Heng, coming completely to life.

"I have to say, you two really are daring."

Li Heng said with an expressionless face.

Hearing this, the three women felt their scalps go numb. Was it really him? Li Heng?

But how could this be?

Had Great Zhou not already been completely disconnected from the outside world, becoming relatively independent, with no mutual flow of time or causal connection existing anymore? Why was Li Heng still able to descend here?

A monstrous storm surged in the hearts of Shuiyue and Huoling.

Wu Wushuang took a deep breath; possessing the identity of the suspected reincarnation of the Azure King, she realized what was going on at the very first moment: Li Heng had become stronger, stronger than she could have imagined.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for achieving the Dao and proving the Sacred Dao!"

She struggled to suppress the shock in her heart, maintaining a calm exterior, and then solemnly offered her congratulations. To be able to communicate with the disconnected Great Zhou and cross from one isolated causal system to another—only the Sacred could accomplish this!

"It is nothing, merely a stroke of luck. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Wu's progress is also extremely rapid; you have now reached the Half-step Divine, and it seems you are only one opportunity away from stepping into the Sacred."

Li Heng smiled, seeing through Wu Wushuang's true state.

"Not at all, still not as good as Fellow Daoist Li, proving the Sacred Dao so quickly," Wu Wushuang exclaimed.

One knows one's own affairs best; her rapid progress was mainly due to her body, which was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Azure King, and the long accumulation of time after Great Zhou was disconnected from the outside world.

Li Heng did not have such a long accumulation of time in the outside world.

Yet he was still faster than her.

Sacred? The supreme realm above the Creation Realm?

As the two women, Shuiyue and Huoling, listened to the conversation between Wu Wushuang and Li Heng, they were shocked and secretly lamented, never expecting Li Heng to have reached such a supreme realm in such a short time. No wonder he could cross the absolute chasm between Great Zhou and the outside world to descend here.

Under normal circumstances, they would be happy about this.

But now, well.

They wished they could find a hole to bury themselves in; it was simply too embarrassing to be caught by the original owner after secretly crafting a figurine.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Fellow Daoist Wu, you are not far from the Sacred yourself, so there is no need to lament so much. Now let us return to the main topic and talk about the current matter."

Li Heng's expression was subtle as he spoke slowly.

Seeing this, Wu Wushuang felt helpless and gave the two women a look, indicating that she had tried her best and they would have to figure it out themselves.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we know we were wrong."

After a short silence, Shuiyue and Huoling said in unison. If one is to be beaten, one must stand straight; since they had been caught red-handed by the person himself, they had no way to shirk responsibility and could only admit their mistake obediently.

"Is simply knowing you were wrong enough?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

The two women immediately felt something was amiss.

Surely Fellow Daoist Li wouldn't really punish them severely, would he? Although that wasn't necessarily impossible, was it really worth it? They had only crafted a figurine, and they hadn't even succeeded in replicating him.

"Please, Fellow Daoist Li, enlighten us."

In their confusion, the two women could only say this.

"What is there to enlighten or not enlighten? One look and I know you two must be repeat offenders; you haven't just crafted this one puppet."

"Speak, what other people have you crafted besides this? Don't tell me there are other messy, indescribable Evil God puppets. If that is truly the case, then there are quite a few hidden dangers."

Li Heng said slowly.

If it were merely someone crafting a similar puppet based on his appearance, it wouldn't be worth him descending here directly; at most, he would destroy that puppet from a distance and stop it.

For one hundred thousand years, Huoling and Shuiyue had been unable to craft a single complete puppet because mysterious forces were stopping them. Did they really think a Sacred puppet or statue could be shaped so easily? Without the consent of that Sacred being, it was almost impossible to create a puppet or statue exactly identical to the Sacred.

Even an approximation was difficult.

There is a saying in the Great Void: The Sacred cannot be insulted!

After all, once such a thing appears, it is a brand-new piece of Causality that the Sacred being must deal with.

Therefore, what made Li Heng decide to descend was mainly because he had encountered a fragment of the Unknown Calamity in the Heavenly Emperor's assessment space, and that fragment of the Unknown Calamity had descended because the Spirit of the Divine Throne had borrowed the phantom of the former Unknown Calamity.

It was used to create a false Disaster to test him.

And from this, it can be seen that for truly powerful existences, monsters, and Disasters, even a tiny trace can provide a path for the main body or power to descend.

Not to mention former phantoms or puppet statues.

Take Li Heng himself for example.

If a living being in the future were observing him across the Time-Space Mother River, he could fully sense it and, in turn, descend into that future era.

However, it is a pity that no such being has appeared yet; after all, a being capable of doing such a thing is not a fool.

Shuiyue and Huoling are figurine fanatics. Since they could craft his figurine and allow him to descend here, there is no guarantee they haven't crafted other strange figurines that could attract Disasters or monsters, triggering great disasters and calamities.

So he must come over to take a look and, incidentally, say goodbye.

After all, he is about to leave the True Realm.

Messy Evil God puppets?

The two women were stunned, then hurriedly replied.

"Fellow Daoist Li, regarding this point, we do have basic aesthetics; we would not create those messy, extremely ugly puppets."

"That is not necessarily true."

Li Heng shook his head; Evil God figurines do not necessarily mean they are ugly.

"Take out all the puppets you have crafted; I want to screen them one by one to prevent any hidden dangers."

Of course, Li Heng also added silently in his heart that it would be best if there really were hidden dangers. After all, this usually meant that Source Power would soon be delivered to his door.

"Alright."

Fire Spirit, Shuiyue replied helplessly.

After all, an arm cannot twist a thigh. Not to mention that their own Majesty would not stand on their side. Just considering Li Heng's current strength, it was not something they could resist.

Since they could not resist, they could only close their eyes and enjoy it.

Very quickly, as the surrounding Void slowly rippled, nearly countless, mountain-like and sea-like doll figurines appeared before Li Heng, making even him marvel; was she really a figurine fanatic?

"Fellow Daoist Li, they are all here."

Fire Spirit and Shuiyue said in unison; watching their entire collection being laid out and seen by others, an inexplicable sense of shame could not help but rise in the two women's hearts.

But... it was quite exciting.

Beside them, Wu Wushuang's expression was also extremely strange; there were actually this many? It seemed these two girls really had a lot of free time; she hadn't exploited them enough!

Li Heng swept his Divine Sense over them once, finding nothing unusual. To be safe, he swept a second time, and added Source Power to his eyes.

And then...

He saw all kinds of demons and monsters.
