Chapter 33: Puppet

Afterward, Chumen spent several days integrating the "Master" Characteristic into the Sage's Robe; the difficulties involved go without saying, and he still had to rely on the Dream Book to forcibly suppress it, or should one say, pollute it?

However, after this period, the grand missionary activity gradually quieted down, and he, this Dream Angel, also became idle.

"Is it necessary to have a family to obtain humanity?" Lilith often sought him out to ask some strange questions.

She remained indifferent, with almost no emotional fluctuations.

"Is this the result you observed?" Chumen's expression was strange.

His Angel territory had recently been flooded with many believers, all a result of this missionary work; there were always some city-states or human settlements with environments too harsh that needed to be relocated entirely into this God's Kingdom.

This large-scale missionary work had at least doubled the number of believers in the Sun Kingdom, and they all needed to build giant cities on the ground.

During this time, Sasriel was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink!

And Lilith, in this process, was constantly observing humans and even molding herself into a Spectator.

"But you have no chance," Chumen shook his head slightly; Lilith now possessed all the qualities of a Spectator, which was "merely a spectator."

She would not even be moved by what she saw, nor satisfied by what she knew.

For such a Vampire to seek "humanity" was simply a disaster.

"..." Chumen fell silent; his existence was extremely special, his humanity was extremely rich, and he was somewhat unable to understand Lilith's current state, "How about you cultivate a human hobby?"

"A hobby?" Lilith looked serious.

"Yes, a hobby! First approach human behavior, then find the corresponding cognition." Many times, Chumen had a headache over Lilith, because he didn't know how to find humanity either!

"Okay!" Lilith finally nodded, then looked lost, "But what hobby? Does blood-sucking count?"

Chumen's mouth twitched, but... what entertainment could people of this era have?

It was only in his Dream Territory, where residents could enter God's Paradise as long as they were pious enough, that there was a little bit of entertainment; the rest were likely just labor and prayer.

"You could..." Chumen was at a loss for words, but the next instant his eyes lit up, "Make puppets!"

This was inspiration he had gained from a certain shameless Blood Clan member from later generations.

"What? Puppets? Like that Alien King?" Lilith was puzzled.

Uh! Chumen only then remembered that this world had natural "puppets," and that Alien King was even a natural "ragdoll."

Therefore, things like puppets, wooden dolls, and ragdolls were still images of divine beings in this era; in the city-states ruled by the Alien King, they were authentic Statues, worshipped by countless humans day and night.

"Roughly... about the same..." Chumen shook his head and directly took out a "Puppet" Beyonder Characteristic.

This was something he had snatched from the sky full of Characteristics after the Alien King fell.

The "Puppet" Characteristic was directly kneaded by Chumen into a human shape, and certain properties contained within the Characteristic itself were also autonomously completing this puppet.

Finally, after dotting it with Dream Phosphor, a life-sized puppet that was almost indistinguishable from a normal person appeared before Lilith.

"Is it this easy?" This was the first time Chumen had seen a Beyonder Characteristic that could shape itself.

"Is this me?" Lilith stood in front of the puppet; the two looked exactly the same.

Chumen had kneaded it according to Lilith's appearance, and now, through the autonomous evolution of the "Puppet" Characteristic, this puppet was no different from Lilith.

"I look so good." Lilith was very satisfied and walked away holding the puppet.

"Sigh, finally fooled her into leaving." Chumen shook his head; every time, Lilith would bring many questions he found difficult to answer.

"I should have stopped her from degenerating to this point back then." He shook his head and continued his research into the power of the Dream Book.

"Illusion Dream" and "Causality" allowed him to see a direction for the in-depth development of the Dream Book, and he was working hard for it.

Only, Chumen did not expect that Lilith had caused too much of a stir this time.

Within just a few days, a legend spread throughout the entire Dream Territory about a werewolf sucking souls in the moonlight and howling at the moon.

A few days later, many residents even discovered that the newly built cemetery had been burglarized and corpses had been stolen.

The entire area near Lilith's residence turned into a silent zone; all the humans fell into a puppet state, no longer praying to the Dream, no longer working, and became walking corpses.

Even more, with the castle where Lilith resided as the center, extremely strange things occurred throughout the entire Dream Territory.

Trees hung people up, the grass even "bit" people, and the soil rolled incessantly, wanting to bury all the humans who stepped on it.

The humans in the Dream Territory almost thought the Dream Angel had abandoned them and wanted to punish them by forcing them to return to the days of living in fear day and night.

Subsequently, these people prayed to Chumen in terror, wishing to be forgiven.

Chumen was shocked to see all this; his territory was actually being animated under the influence of some extremely high-level power!

"Lilith..." Chumen's mouth twitched; he shouldn't have let Lilith cultivate any hobby, she was an Ancient God after all!

If it came to the understanding and application of the Life Authority, no one could compare to her!

Chumen walked into a palace that looked like a Fairy Tale Castle; this was originally built for himself, but since he now stayed under the Dream Statue daily, it had become Lilith's castle.

"Are you the Master's friend?" A Blood Clan girl who looked very much like Lilith walked up.

Chumen looked at this maid carefully, took a light breath, couldn't bear to look, and turned his head away.

"Where is your master?" Chumen asked the maid, but he was already walking toward where Lilith was.

The entire castle had a weird aura that made Chumen uncomfortable; he really didn't want to stay long.

"You're here." Lilith's voice remained indifferent, without the slightest emotion; she sat on the lawn in the castle, with her back to Chumen.

"I followed what you said to find a hobby, and finally discovered that what I am best at is molding life."

"So you gave the puppet life? And let it go cause trouble in my territory?" Chumen shook his head slightly, suddenly feeling some regret.

Lilith's situation was special and could not be treated with ordinary methods.

He looked at the entire castle, his brows tightly furrowed, "Is this the Life Authority possessed by the 'Mother'?"

After Chumen stepped into the castle, he felt countless eyes staring at him; the flowers, trees, and grass on the lawn, and even every grain of sand, seemed to have grown eyes, peeking at Chumen from corners and crevices.

These were all life!

Although Lilith was no longer that Ancient God, she possessed all the Characteristics of that Ancient God!

With her former status, she could also indirectly control the Life Authority and perform all sorts of incredible things.
