Chapter 419: God-Tier Puppet

Upon entering Gu Shan Chuan Cheng Zhi Di, every possessor of a God Bone is situated in a different space, each receiving the inheritance separately.

Different people will have different harvests.

Only by absorbing all the light and shadow can one be considered to have truly absorbed the Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

At this moment, Lin Chao's attention is focused on a cluster of light and shadow the size of a fist.

This cluster of light and shadow represents the Puppet Making Method; it is a relatively ordinary item among all the inheritances of the Ancient Mountain God, yet it is the one Lin Chao most hopes to obtain.

At this time, a wisp of Lin Chao's Divine Soul merged into the light and shadow, slowly digesting the Legendary Puppet Making Method.

Countless pieces of information surged into Lin Chao's mind, and Lin Chao began to analyze the Legendary Puppet Making Method.

"It is somewhat similar to Arcane puppets, but this is clearly advanced, and... these ancient puppets are more focused on the enhancement of combat power."

Before Lin Chao's eyes, many scenes emerged.

He could see that on the vast earth, there were enormous ancient puppets.

Three thousand Lilong, one thousand li wide, and ten thousand li high.

The giant puppets were running, each step causing the earth to shake.

"As expected! The Ancient God possessed the Shen Ji Kui Lei Zhi Zuo Fa!"

The ancient puppet before his eyes clearly reached the God-Tier in terms of power.

This made Lin Chao's heart race.

If he were to create a God-Tier puppet and then improve upon it, he would have a large group of helpers behind him.

After the incident with Xiang Long, Lin Chao understood a principle: it is not good to shoulder everything alone.

"The core of a God-Tier puppet... what is it!"

Lin Chao rapidly absorbed the light and shadow.

If other God Bone possessors were to absorb such a large cluster of light and shadow, it would certainly take a considerable amount of time.

But Lin Chao's comprehension ability clearly exceeded the standards of this world by too much.

Therefore, such complex and terrifying light and shadow, as well as the Puppet Making Method, meant nothing in Lin Chao's eyes.

After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Lin Chao opened his eyes: "It is a pity that the Ancient Mountain God's inheritance does not contain the true Shen Jie Kui Lei Zhi Zuo Fa; I still need to supplement it myself to reach the level of a God-Tier puppet."

However, at this moment, Lin Chao felt a trace of anomaly.

Surrounding him were quite a few clusters of light and shadow, numbering at least a hundred.

These clusters of light and shadow were all floating around Lin Chao, very active, as if they were trying to cozy up to Lin Chao, wanting to tell him, "Choose me, choose me!"

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face, but he did not choose any of the light clusters: "Better to perfect the Shen Jie Kui Lei Zhi Zuo Fa first."

This matter was the most important of all.

In the place of inheritance, his comprehension ability had received a certain boost.

Comprehending the Puppet Making Method also had a certain degree of enhancement.

He needed to make good use of this time.

Lin Chao's consciousness entered that previous cluster of light and shadow once again.

The other light and shadow clusters around him seemed to have consciousness; seeing this scene, they all jumped continuously, appearing very anxious.

Lin Chao continuously perfected the Shen Jie Kui Lei Zhi Zuo Fa, following the path of the Ancient Mountain God.

"The core of a God-Tier puppet... is the Rule.

This kind of Rule was named by the Ancient God as... Divine Office.

The Ancient God bestowed the Divine Office upon the puppet, endowing the puppet with powerful strength to patrol the human world on behalf of the Ancient God..."

Upon receiving this information, Lin Chao was stunned.

"A God-Tier puppet... why is it somewhat like a deity?"

Indeed, according to the description of the God-Tier puppet, it was truly very similar to a deity.

A ridiculous thought inexplicably arose in Lin Chao's heart.

He was already close to perfecting the Shen Jie Kui Lei Zhi Zuo Fa.

The more he perfected it, the more alarmed he became.

He had two guesses in his heart.

The first guess was that the method of becoming a god for the deities of the Pantheon originated from ancient puppets.

The second guess was that the deities of the Pantheon were, in fact, ancient puppets.

At least... a portion of them were.

Of course, Lin Chao could not be certain of these things.

"To create a God-Tier puppet, the most difficult points are two.

One is the material, and the second is the Divine Office.

The Ancient God traveled to the Xing He and the Abyss to obtain materials, used their own flesh and blood as an aid, and then divided their own Rules to merge into the puppet, undergoing thousands of refinements to finally become a God-Tier puppet."

"The materials for making a God-Tier puppet are similar to the Ancient God statues."

"This means that in every Ancient God Temple, there are materials for making God-Tier puppets?"

Lin Chao suddenly became interested in the other Ancient God Temples.

He also developed a deep interest in the Ancient Gods.

"Logically speaking, the strength of the Ancient Gods was already incomparably powerful; they were the true Master.

Why would they need to create God-Tier puppets to patrol the human world on their behalf?

Could it be... that the Ancient Gods were held back by something?

And also... how did the Ancient Gods fall?"

Lin Chao's interest in the Ancient Gods grew increasingly intense.

"The time is still early, so I might as well accept the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain God."

Lin Chao withdrew from this cluster of light and shadow.

Beside him, hundreds of light-shadows were suspended.

These light-shadows were very proactive, showing great favor toward Lin Chao.

Lin Chao smiled, and as he stretched out his hand, all hundreds of light-shadows submerged into his palm.

He wanted to completely obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain God.

A flash of light passed, and among the stone gates, many God Bone holders appeared.

Lin Chao was also in the middle of the crowd.

These God Bone holders left the Ancient Mountain God inheritance, and many had triumphant smiles in their eyes.

Clearly, among the inheritances activated this time, many people had gained something.

Of course, there were also those who were dejected, clearly not satisfied with this trip.

Seeing Lin Chao come out, many people cast their gazes upon him.

A look of surprise flashed in Xue Yang's eyes: "Brother Lin, you!"

Clearly, Xue Yang had discovered something.

Ye Shu also looked at Lin Chao, his eyes filled with brilliance: "Congratulations to Brother Lin for obtaining the Ancient Mountain God inheritance.

In the future, the Heavenly Court will surely have a place for Brother Lin."

Yuwen Kang also looked over, feeling happy for Lin Chao in his heart.

Other God Bone holders saw this scene, and their expressions also changed.

At first, there were many people on the scene who hadn't truly taken Lin Chao to heart.

After all, although Lin Chao was strong, he had killed Chu Renli's son, and in their eyes, Lin Chao would have to die sooner or later.

But now, Lin Chao had obtained the Ancient Mountain God inheritance, and this would become completely different.

Entering the Heavenly Court was the only way to truly enter the power center of the Ancient Tang Empire.

The gazes of the others looking at Lin Chao changed.

Lin Chao remained very calm and didn't feel anything.

Having come here, he had already gained plenty.

Now the only thing he thought about was going to more Ancient God Temples to collect materials for refining God-Tier Puppets.

Here at the Ancient Mountain Palace, Lin Chao had not discovered any materials.

"Alright, most of you have already gained something from this trip.

We should leave and report the matters here to the imperial court," Ye Shu said.

The things that happened in the Ancient God Temple were truly strange.

Ye Shu understood that this level of matter was not something he could intervene in.

It could only be reported to the Heavenly Court for the Heavenly Court to resolve.

"Right!" The other God Bone holders also had solemn expressions; they also knew there was danger in the Ancient God Temple here.

"Let's leave together so we can look out for each other if we encounter anything," one God Bone holder suggested, while taking an extra look at Lin Chao.

Lin Chao was the strongest person on the scene, and staying by Lin Chao's side would provide a greater sense of security.

Lin Chao remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Everyone was just about to leave, but at this moment, a vicissitudinous voice came.

"I didn't expect that you group of people could still bring me some surprises; it actually saved me several decades of time.

As a reward, I will send you off to paradise early."

Following this voice, a burly figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.

This person wore a Gold mask, making it impossible to see his face, but he exuded a terrifying aura.

The God Bone holders present saw the newcomer, and all their expressions tightened with extreme wariness.

"Who are you?" Ye Shu asked, looking at the newcomer and feeling a huge threat.

The Gold-masked man ignored Ye Shu and instead placed his gaze on Lin Chao: "You obtained the Ancient Mountain God inheritance?"

Lin Chao looked at the Gold-masked man, and for some reason, he always felt this person gave him a familiar feeling.

"So what if I did?"

"Not bad!" The Gold-masked man nodded with satisfaction, "Being able to obtain the Ancient Mountain God inheritance, your performance makes me very satisfied.

I will give you a chance to follow me!

As long as you kill all these pieces of trash here, I will allow you to pledge your loyalty to me!"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the God Bone holders present changed drastically.

Many of them changed the way they looked at Lin Chao, and many quietly moved further away from Lin Chao, afraid that Lin Chao would really take action against them.

A look of worry also appeared in Ye Shu's eyes.

The Gold-masked man before them was clearly not a simple person.

His strength might even be close to an Elder of the Heavenly Court.

Such an existence was simply not something they could deal with.

Even if they stepped into the Legendary realm, they would not be his match!

Lin Chao chuckled: "I will also give you a chance to pledge your loyalty to me.

You will offer me the things you obtained in the Ancient God Temple, and I will spare your life."

Lin Chao already understood that the anomalies that occurred in the other temples were all the work of this Gold-masked man.

This meant that on this man in the gold mask, there might be materials for crafting a God-Tier Puppet.

The man in the gold mask coveted his Ancient Mountain Inheritance, and he also coveted the things on the man in the gold mask.

"You are courting death!" the man in the gold mask's voice turned cold and stern, "You don't know what's good for you!"

As he spoke, the man in the gold mask struck instantly, a giant hand attacking Lin Chao.

Suddenly, the entire Ancient God Temple began to shake.

Other God Bone holders saw this scene and were terrified; they understood that this man in the gold mask was definitely a powerhouse at the level of a Heavenly Court Elder.

Even if they joined forces, they would not be his match.

"Brother Lin, be careful," Yuwen Kang and the others could not help but warn.

Lin Chao's gaze was calm; he looked at the man in the gold mask and waved his hand.

Divine Power Cage!

He instantly cast the Divine Power Cage, trapping the man in the gold mask.

He did this just in case, to prevent the man in the gold mask from escaping.

In an instant, the man in the gold mask was pulled into the Void.

"Divine Power? You are also a god?"

Entering the Void, a look of surprise appeared on the face of the man in the gold mask.

"Which faction's god are you?"

He looked at Lin Chao, having lost his previous contempt, his gaze becoming solemn.

"I don't care which faction's god you are, I warn you, you have crossed the line!

The temple here is under my responsibility!

Hand over the Ancient Mountain Inheritance and compensate me with one God Bone, and this matter will be dropped."

Lin Chao looked at the man in the gold mask, feeling that he had been drawn into a major event.

The man before him was clearly a god of the Pantheon.

It seemed he was carrying out some secret mission.

Lin Chao remembered the God Bone he had obtained and asked tentatively, "And which faction are you from?"

"Lady of the Dark Night..." the man in the gold mask stopped speaking, realized something was wrong, and looked at Lin Chao, "No, who exactly are you!"

"Lady of the Dark Night?" Lin Chao confirmed the opponent's faction.

The Lady of the Dark Night was one of the Four Great Sovereigns.

If there were other factions, it meant that this matter was very likely participated in by all Four Great Sovereigns.

Lin Chao sensed a conspiracy.

"Who I am... it is better if you do not know."

After Lin Chao finished speaking, he began to act.

Although he had suffered an attack from the God of the Sky and was severely wounded, his strength had not yet fully recovered.

But the man in the gold mask before him was only an Ordinary god with Weak Divine Power; with Lin Chao's current methods, he could take him down with some effort.

The battle continued, and Lin Chao's Divine Power was like the sea, constantly attacking the man in the gold mask.

The wounds brought by the God of the Sky were still ravaging his body as Lin Chao attacked.

However, Lin Chao did not care; instead, he fought more bravely as the battle went on.

The man in the gold mask remained at a disadvantage, completely suppressed by Lin Chao.

Finally, before falling, the man in the gold mask roared: "No matter who you are, by ruining the Master's plan, you will surely die!"

The man in the gold mask let out an unwilling roar and fell here.

Lin Chao absorbed his Divine Power to treat his own injuries.

Using Divine Power to heal was much more effective than using medicinal liquid.

Lin Chao clearly sensed that his own strength had recovered by another notch.

Before long, he would be able to return to his peak combat power.

"Divine Office... Artifact Refining, Attribute... Sharpness."

After extracting the Divine Office of the man in the gold mask, Lin Chao did not fuse and convert it into the Fire of Civilization as he had in the past.

He prepared to keep it.

"Sure enough, those materials for making God-Tier Puppets were all on him."

On the man in the gold mask, Lin Chao found many treasures.

But there were even more inheritances from the Ancient God Temple.

"He must have a trick to be able to obtain the inheritances of the Ancient God Temple."

The Ancient God Temple had stood here in the Ancient Tang Empire for so long, and no one had been able to farm the inheritances.

Most of the temple's inheritances still remained.

Yet this man in the gold mask had obtained so many, which certainly was not through ordinary means.

"The Master's goal is to obtain the inheritances," Lin Chao pondered.

He did not know why those Masters wanted to do this, but they were certainly plotting something big.

"The materials are just incidental to them, but not to me."

Having obtained the materials on the man in the gold mask, Lin Chao was very satisfied.

These materials were enough to craft several God-Tier ancient puppets.

He decided that once he left the Ancient God Temple, he would attempt to craft ancient puppets.

His true body would remain here, and if the ancient puppets were successfully crafted, they could replace him to return to the Xi Fang Shi Jie, continue to cooperate with that organization named Zero, hunt gods, and obtain more raw materials.

As for him, he would naturally continue to stay in the Ancient Tang Empire; firstly, to hide from the God of the Sky and recover his strength, and secondly, to continue investigating the Temple and crafting more ancient puppets.

Emerging from the Divine Power Cage, Lin Chao sensed that only four people remained at the scene.

Among them were Yuwen Kang, Xue Yang, Ye Shu, and a long-haired God Bone holder.

As for the other God Bone holders, it was clear that upon encountering such a situation, they had chosen to flee.

Seeing Lin Chao emerge, Yuwen Kang was incomparably shocked, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lin truly... surprised me."

It was quite a surprise.
