Chapter 1175: Divine Crystal Fragments (First update, requesting everything)

There were five puppets within the attack range of the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain; they seemed to possess instinct, subconsciously moving their feet, wanting to escape the range of the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain.

Just at this moment, a powerful magnetic force appeared, pulling their bodies toward the magnetic mountain.

The five puppets hurriedly exerted force to resist this magnetic force, which caused their escape movements to pause significantly, and their speed was greatly reduced; it was impossible for them to escape the range before the magnetic mountain descended.

In this situation, they could only wave their weapons with all their might, giving one the feeling of a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The key was that even when waving their weapons, they could only draw upon a portion of their strength, otherwise they would be affected by the magnetic field.

Boom—

A massive crashing sound rang out, countless dust particles scattered, and a huge crater appeared on the ground; the entire Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain sank deep into the ground, with everything below the mountainside buried, and the power of the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnet could be imagined.

When the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnet flew up again, the five puppets that had been pressed underneath were all reduced to meat paste.

This puddle of meat paste still looked quite fresh, and Li Zhangsheng could not help but marvel, wondering how the Demigod Eric Robertson had managed to preserve it.

"Could it be... a Biological Puppet!"

Li Zhangsheng thought of a possibility; puppets also had branches, but in most worlds, Biological Puppets were often considered taboo.

The Dawn World was the same, but due to the limitations of the Magic Net, the Puppetry of this world was still in its infancy.

The problem was, the puppets made by Eric Robertson were clearly quite sophisticated.

Li Zhangsheng thought of two possibilities: either Eric Robertson came from another magic plane, or he had obtained a legacy of Puppetry from another plane.

"I hope this harvest will include the legacy memories of Demigod Eric Robertson!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; he did not have much interest in ordinary Puppetry, but Biological Puppets were different, because they might provide reference or inspiration for creating new species.

However, now was not the time to think about these things.

The remaining five puppets seemed to know no fear, still launching attacks tirelessly.

But no matter how they exerted their strength, they still could not break through the two Zifu Qizhen-grade Strange Treasures dedicated to defense.

As long as the Mental Power of the two was not exhausted, they could not break through.

Li Zhangsheng pointed at the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain again; in an instant, the massive magnetic mountain shone brilliantly, successively releasing five gorgeous and colorful Beiming Auroras.

The five puppets had no time to react and were instantly struck by the Beiming Auroras; their limbs became stiff, thick ice crystals appeared on their body surfaces, and they were tragically frozen.

Before the five puppets could shatter the ice layer, Li Zhangsheng flicked his right hand, and five Small Altars grew in the wind, forcibly sealing the five puppets within the altars.

The altars spun around, became pocket-sized again, and were collected into Li Zhangsheng's sleeve, disappearing from sight.

Since Biological Puppets were very useful for creating new species, Li Zhangsheng naturally had to keep samples so that he could better study them, in case Eric Robertson had not left behind a Puppetry legacy.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng came to the edge of the large crater, looked down at the puddle of flattened flesh and blood in the bottom of the pit, and made a discovery at once.

Under the control of his Mental Power, five rays of light rushed out from the flesh and blood and hovered in front of him.

These were five crystals, about the size of a fingernail; judging from their shape, these were five broken crystals, shimmering with flowing light and color, filled with a powerful attraction.

If observed carefully, these five broken crystals were of similar volume and remained unscathed under the heavy pressure of the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain.

Of course, this also had to do with their volume; the surface area receiving force was not small at all.

Looking at the five broken crystals in front of him, at first glance, Li Zhangsheng felt somewhat familiar, and then, as if he had thought of something, he stared at them fixedly.

"These are Divine Power Crystals!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng's breathing became noticeably heavier.

Divine Power Crystals, referred to as Divine Crystals for short, are, as the name suggests, crystals condensed from Divine Power; they are also the source of power for Faith Deities to exert their great power.

Deities are mainly divided into two types: Source Deities and Faith Deities. The former are basically innate deities born at the beginning of the world, who do not rely on faith and belong to the category where great power resides within themselves; they are few in number, but their combat power is very strong.

Compared to Source Deities, the number of Faith Deities is much larger. They spread faith widely, use Divine Fire to refine the Faith Power born from believers, thus forming Divine Power, which condenses into Divine Power Crystals. Whether it is creating a Divine Kingdom, constructing rules, comprehending rules, or advancing in realm, they are extremely dependent on Divine Power.

Because deities reside in their Divine Kingdoms, and because of the importance of Divine Crystals to them, very few Divine Crystals are left in the outside world; even the Hundred-Victories King had only seen them once.

This was also the first time Li Zhangsheng had seen a Divine Crystal, and even though these were at best five Divine Crystal fragments, they were still extremely precious.

From the sensing of his Mental Power, each Divine Crystal fragment emitted energy fluctuations of the First-tier Heavenly Treasure level, so the power of a complete Divine Crystal could be imagined.

For deities, Divine Crystals are absolutely omnipotent; some of their new species were created by deities expending a large amount of Divine Power.

For Li Zhangsheng, Divine Power is a very strange power; he must first analyze the nature of Divine Power, and whether he can use it is an unknown.

What is certain is that these Divine Crystal fragments are the power source for these puppets.

As for the instincts and judgment of danger of these puppets, Li Zhangsheng felt that this was also related to the Divine Crystal fragments, or perhaps Demigod Eric Robertson had extremely in-depth research on souls, allowing the bodies of the Stronger to retain their reactions from before death.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment, sealed the five Divine Crystal fragments in a box, and took the five broken weapons along with him, before stepping into the castle with Ning Bizhen.

The interior of the castle was very empty; apart from the pillars supporting the castle, there was only a sculpture holding a bow and arrow.

This statue had pointed ears, gray-black skin, and delicate and beautiful features; it was about 1.7 meters tall, but it was a male Drow Elf.

If nothing unexpected happened, this was the statue of Demigod Eric Robertson.

Creak—

However, the moment the two entered the castle, the door behind them closed automatically.

At the same time, candles were abruptly lit in the castle hall, and in an instant, it was brightly lit, illuminating every shadow in vivid detail.

Clatter—

Under Li Zhangsheng's guarded gaze, the scene from just before reappeared.

The male Drow Elf sculpture vibrated violently, and amidst the flying stone chips, it transformed from a statue into a physical body.

The difference was that its eyes were clear and agile, completely different from the puppets outside, and it seemed to still retain its consciousness from before death.
