Chapter 350

The Spirit Venerable and the Lord of the Veil, these two powerful True Gods.

In terms of authority, they were clearly somewhat similar.

Therefore, the abilities possessed by the two sequences "Bait-Eating True Lord" and "Puppet Master of Past and Present" were also clearly on the same path.

No need to scrutinize, one look and you knew they were both shameless and despicable.

It's just that the Bait-Eating True Lord is Sequence Four, and there are several sequences after that.

And after the Puppet Master of Past and Present, there is only one Play God of All Heavens left.

So overall, the Puppet Master is still a bit stronger.

After all, for this True Lord Li Yu to succeed in fishing, he has to rack his brains to set the bait, and has to carefully implant the bait silk; even if it all succeeds, he still can't reach the level of the "Puppet Master of Past and Present," unable to directly obtain such great benefits.

As for the ability of the Puppet Master of Past and Present?

Although it was a secret known only to the successors of the Lord of the Veil, Li Yu vaguely knew some of it; it was something he glimpsed through a portion of the power Zuo Cikui gave him and that idle person's skin.

Under the secret-peeping vice, he would naturally seize any opportunity to peek at all secrets.

"The Puppet Master of Past and Present can use 'Narrative Authority' to influence the life of the puppet characters under his command."

"Control is just the most basic."

"What's truly perverted is that the achievements of the puppet's life will all be fed back to the Puppet Master."

"For example, with my talent and aptitude, if I were refined by Zuo Cikui, if I really ascended to godhood in the future, then Zuo Cikui would also ascend to godhood, and would always suppress me."

"Truly shameless, simply a top-tier parasite path."

"However, the ability of this 'Hanging King's God-Chosen Gongsun Qi' is also equally perverted, ignoring all obstacles to hang my heart and soul; if I weren't a True Soul Body, I would really have been completely caught."

"It's a pity that no matter how perverted, he still fell into Zuo Cikui's treacherous plot."

"Hmm?"

"Speaking of which, if I take this opportunity to control Zuo Cikui, wouldn't it be equivalent to obtaining three major assistants at once."

"Such a harvest... I've made a huge profit."

These thoughts, of course, came from Li Yu, who seemed unable to resist anymore and was between life and death.

That's right, he was acting.

Although Li Yu had now successfully hooked Zuo Cikui with his own fishing line, he could completely run away with the bucket after severely injuring him.

If he were more ruthless, slaughtering Zuo Cikui wouldn't be difficult either.

But that would lose the true essence of "Bait-Eating."

Using himself as bait to lure Zuo Cikui was one layer, and then using Zuo Cikui as bait to lure the Main Mansion, and even the authority of the Lord of the Veil, could show his true ability as a Bait-Eating True Lord, and it was also proper cultivation.

To achieve this!

The prerequisite was: let Zuo Cikui think he had succeeded, and then let him go.

Originally, this was very difficult to achieve, and might even lead to lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet; after all, "voluntarily" giving up resistance to gain trust and becoming fish on the chopping board, it wasn't impossible for an accidental overturn to occur.

But now, it was different.

The first layer of protection, naturally, was that Li Yu took the initiative.

Zuo Cikui failed to refine Li Yu into a puppet, but was hooked by Li Yu first.

His flesh and heart and soul were filled with bait silk.

His behavior, thoughts, and every action were actually unable to be hidden from Li Yu and would be influenced and controlled by Li Yu.

The second layer of protection!

Or rather, absolute protection.

Naturally, it was the True Soul Body.

"As of now, in terms of 'authority judgment,' truth is invincible."

"Myriad Changes, Toad God, Haotian, Vortex God, Buddha... even the Spirit Venerable, no matter who comes, it's useless."

"The Lord of the Veil, a divine entity of the same level and path as Myriad Changes and the Spirit Venerable, is naturally the same."

"The Hanging King who is currently hanging me is the same."

Just as Li Yu was ignoring the strange authority of the Hanging King and quietly thinking,

a question, under Gongsun Qi's careful control, drilled into Li Yu's so-called "between life and death" heart and soul.

It was asking him whether he wanted to open his heart and soul to surrender, and promised to invest a large amount of resources to help him ascend to godhood.

If he was unwilling, he would shatter his heart and soul and refine him forcibly.

"Brother Zuo is truly a good person!"

"From now on, he will be my closest friend in the 【Main Mansion】; what is his is mine, and what is mine is still mine."

"He will trust me incomparably, and without any cost, he will know everything and say everything; in order to help me ascend to godhood, he will even give me whatever I ask for."

"The highest realm of a fisherman is probably just like me."

Accompanied by this obscure thought that no god could peek into.

Li Yu quickly responded: in that ten-thousandth of a second when Gongsun Qi released control, he chose to admit defeat and agree.

Subsequently, the disguised heart and soul were revealed in front of Zuo Cikui.

Although he wanted to peek and check it out.

Zuo Cikui knew the opportunity was rare and was afraid of complications.

Overjoyed, he immediately began the production of the "Puppet of Destiny."

Of course, he only thought he had succeeded.

The seemingly smooth process was just an illusion Li Yu had implanted in his heart and soul.

No need to spend much effort to simulate the disguise, just need to make him mistakenly think he "succeeded" at the last step.

In fact, even if Li Yu really didn't resist, he couldn't refine him.

By now!

Li Yu already had a guess:

"The True Soul Body is not just about locking the last trace of reason, but completely exempting all contamination that makes him lose his reason and fall into ignorance."

"In other words, truth never gathers dust."

"This, naturally, includes being refined into a puppet."

"Done!"

"Hahahaha... my Dao is complete."

Inside the closed carriage, Zuo Cikui's excited laughter suddenly resounded.

Li Li Xuanji, he acted quickly, restoring everything that had happened in this space-time.

"Thanks to this Chronos Demon Compass, I originally had more than ninety percent certainty of perfectly erasing the traces, and with the time-space backtracking power of this treasure, it's one hundred percent."

"Even the Lord of Myriad Changes cannot discover the changes in this kid's heart and soul."

"Speaking of which, it's your kid's fortune."

"Although you have outstanding talent and aptitude, you are inherently deficient after all, a human cultivator."

"That 'Lord of Myriad Changes' is a True God of the 【Chaos World】; in that multiverse, humans are highly discriminated against. With the same aptitude, if you pursue the position of the same auxiliary god, you simply cannot compete with Joseph."

"But with my help in the future, that's not certain."

"In the God-Nation of Myriad Changes, there will be a place for you."

"And on the stage and chessboard I control, there is one more puppet character of destiny."

"How delightful!"

Amidst the joyful laughter, Zuo Cikui was afraid of even a ripple in space-time, so he left at the fastest speed.

Once he left!

As if time and space were flowing backward, the plot line returned to where no errors had occurred.

In this setting, Li Yu did not discover anything wrong, nor did he have the slightest thought of taking off the "idle person's skin," and he trusted Zuo Cikui infinitely.

This seemed to be a little private cargo added by Zuo Cikui!

In reality, it was Li Yu who secretly bewitched and influenced him to add it.

Because Li Yu needed a pretext so that from the moment he woke up, he could obtain benefits from Zuo Cikui openly and without being suspected.

For example, secrets.

Before, he didn't dare to ask too much, lest he arouse suspicion.

And now, he was unscrupulous.

And so, Li Yu, who woke up from his trance the next moment.

Incomparably naturally, he contacted Zuo Cikui through the "Evil God Intelligence" for the first time and passed over a topic.

It was exactly what Li Yu had done on the magic boat; he asked if it would annoy the three tribes of the magic boat and cause bad effects.

On the other side, Zuo Cikui's responding voice came with a smile and a hint of arrogance:

"Brother Li, no need to worry."

"Although the three tribes of the magic boat have three Star Gods supporting them, those three Star Gods tied together are no match for my great Lord, the 'Lord of the Veil,' let alone the entire Wanfu City."

"My Lord wants to unite all 'gods who are not righteous gods,' which is why he pulled that ancient magic boat onto the chariot."

"Those three gods were okay in the ancient era, but now they have declined."

"When the necessary moment comes, they and their bloodline kin might not be unable to serve as cannon fodder."

Listening to these answers, Li Yu's face was also happy.

Naturally, it wasn't because he had gone to any worries, but because his plan had completely succeeded.

Zuo Cikui!

Was already the third big fish on his hook.

Plump, and obedient.

If it were in the past, if Li Yu had asked the same question, he would definitely not have received such a straightforward answer.

To some extent, Zuo Cikui already regarded Li Yu as "one of his own."

His cognition was completely distorted.

He viewed Li Yu as his own puppet of destiny; the better Li Yu was, the better he was.

So he would have no reservations about Li Yu and would help him ascend to godhood with all his might.

If it weren't for Zuo Cikui himself being too far from the level of a "divine entity."

Then, the position of the number one big brother would definitely change hands.

As if to verify this point, Li Yu suddenly spoke again, asking incomparably presumptuously:

"Brother Zuo!"

"This sequence you cultivate is truly interesting."

"I wonder if you could tell me some secret medicine formulas, or supernatural secret arts or something?"

In the transcendent world, there was no question more abrupt or shameless than this.

Secret medicine formulas and sequence supernatural powers were absolute privacy!

Asking this usually meant that a life-and-death struggle was about to follow.

But after Zuo Cikui heard this, he had no trace of anger, nor did he realize the wrongness in it, just secretly thinking in his heart:

"Cultivators of the Myriad Changes path, besides fooling others and calculating conspiracies, also often cultivate by peeking at secrets and collecting hidden knowledge; this kid has outstanding talent and no small ambition."

"Just right, helping him is helping me."

"Maybe I can ascend to godhood even faster than my master."

As the thought fell, Zuo Cikui immediately responded:

"I cannot tell you about sequence supernatural powers and secret arts."

"However, I can let you know some secret medicine formulas, but I cannot say too much, otherwise it will touch upon taboos and be known by my great Lord; by then, even if Myriad Changes himself comes, he won't be able to save your life..."

In a few words, he actually really leaked a portion of the Puppet Master of Past and Present's secret medicine formulas to Li Yu.

This scene!

If the people of the Main Mansion saw it, their jaws would definitely drop.

How is this possible?

One must know that cultivators of the Lord of the Veil path are very special.

Even if they fell into the hands of a divine entity, as long as Zuo Cikui was unwilling to leak secrets, even if the God of Torture came to interrogate him, he wouldn't be able to know even a tiny bit of the formula.

Li Yu being able to succeed was simply a spectacle.

It can only be said!

When two "liars" meet, whoever takes the initiative first, the other side will lose everything.

Here, Li Yu took several layers of initiative.

From the moment Zuo Cikui actively sought out Li Yu, he had already lost.

With intent calculating the unintentional, Zuo Cikui had no possibility of a comeback; it could be said he was a total failure.

Li Yu was also insatiably greedy; asking one question wasn't enough, and he took the opportunity to throw over a bunch of other questions.

Zuo Cikui completely played the role of a "closest friend," answering every question, not caring at all about the secrets mixed in that shouldn't be known to outsiders:

"My Main Mansion, although not a single-line inheritance, doesn't have many people indeed."

"However, controlling one Wanfu City is completely enough; after all, a ninth-rate idle person can be used as a dozen people, and a Puppet Master of Past and Present means at least several Sequence Four level cultivators, not to mention those puppet masters of mine who are already at the perfect realm; they even possess Sequence Three level puppets."

"Going further up like the 【Mansion Master】, that is even more unfathomable; I only know that he possesses demigods, or even weak gods, as puppets."

"Characters controlled by my Lord?"

"That goes without saying, they are all gods."

"Teachers have also vaguely said that my Lord should control more than one powerful divine entity as a puppet character."

"The 'history' of the present world and Wanfu City doesn't need to be mentioned; my Lord is both a participant and a creator."

"In those multiverses in the Boundless Spirit Realm, countless major events and tragic wars... behind them, it is also my Lord who is manipulating them."

"The more shocking, the more wonderful, the more dramatic, the greater the possibility that it was arranged by my Lord."

"For example, a major event that occurred in the 【Chaos World】 directly led to the fall of numerous Star Gods and the birth of the Mechanical Undead Race."

"It was exactly my Lord's doing!"

"This maiden voyage of the Pioneer is just the beginning of the event, a small attempt."

"Now the result is known: the righteous god camp is indeed still wary and dare not flip the table, so the follow-up moves will follow."

"Not long from now, Wanfu City will hold the first 【Boundless Spirit Realm Grand Tournament】."

"It will issue invitations to young powerhouses across the entire Boundless Spirit Realm to come to Wanfu City to fight."

"The winners will receive various generous rewards."

Listening to these secrets and inside information, Li Yu's face was full of surprise and smiles that he couldn't restrain.

Although these secrets didn't look like things Li Yu, this "loose cultivator," should know.

Weak strength and knowing too much, isn't that a way to court death?

But Li Yu didn't care at all, only feeling satisfied.

And it was at this moment!

Suddenly, Zuo Cikui, who was speaking, paused abruptly, as if some change had occurred?

Just as Li Yu was about to ask, a familiar voice, cold and eerie, which seemed to have been a long time but actually hadn't been too long, sounded in his mind.

"Disaster Star, take the order!"

"A new conquest mission has been successfully matched!"

"It will be officially launched in twelve hours; please prepare in advance, Disaster Star Command Master. The basic information for this mission is as follows... will officially enter the 【Chaos Universe】 in the Boundless Spirit Realm to execute the conquest..."

"Cannot refuse the conscription!"

"Cannot refuse the mission!"

When those few words of mission information came.

Li Yu suddenly froze, and then an incredibly incredible guess flashed through his mind.
