[First update]
The two puppets with souls were arguing, and Salin observed the giant puppet calmly. WWw. QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO. COm
This giant puppet is probably about 800 meters tall, and the light from its two eyes can pierce the darkness in this space. Originally, Saleen's elemental eyes were restricted, but despite the restrictions, he could still see scenery hundreds of miles away.
Those dilapidated temples obviously became so dilapidated not just because of time. There are too many traces of battle, which is shocking. A large hall was split in two in the middle, as if it had been split open by a sharp blade.
The combat effectiveness of these puppets was quite good back then, but that was not what Salin wanted to know. What he wanted to know was where these puppets originally came from.
The temples of the Goddess Mels are all located not far from the continent of Mels. The energy required for space channels or teleportation arrays is not large, otherwise tens of thousands of years of consumption will easily cause these to fail.
Saleen walked through many temples. First he was in the Chaotic Swamp, then in the Principality of Titan, and in the depths of the sea...
The space of each temple is very stable. Even if there are things like elemental storm space cracks, the space where the temple is located will not collapse.
The stability of these spaces determines that the most convenient way to enter these spaces is to use the goddess's divine power to enter from the Mers continent plane.
How did these hundreds of thousands of puppets enter this temple
"Mage, don't think about it anymore." The two puppets stopped arguing, and the legless puppet said: "There is nothing left in the temple. We have killed all the believers of the goddess."
"There's nothing left?" Salin looked unbelieving.
"Of course, we puppets can't lie."
"I'll go take a look. Anyway, you have plenty of time, right?" Salin said to the puppet naturally, and at the same time, he released the wind technique, flew up from the palm of the giant puppet, and headed straight for the distant temple.
The temple in the distance was incomplete. Saleen flew above the temple and looked down. Sure enough, he saw that the materials of the temple had begun to decay. You must know that it would take millions of years to let these materials decay. Units.
Salin suddenly knew that in the space where this temple was located, the flow of time was quite terrifying.
Those puppets were originally immortal, but the two strongest guys were already like waning old men among humans.
Aging technique? Why is the entire space aging
The name of a divine spell came to Salein's mind. Among the divine arts of the Holy Holy See, there is also the art of aging, and even magic and astrology are involved. This skill is biased towards curses, but it also has the technical meaning of magic.
The aging of matter is related to time, and the flow of time is the result of the movement of matter.
These theories have always been in the mage's knowledge system, but they have never been completely verified by any experiment. This result is something that the mages have calculated by connecting fragments of various studies.
Salin flew above the temple. The two puppets did not launch any attacks, nor did they communicate with each other. They just waited patiently for Salin to return.
How could Salin go back? He fell to the ground and directly entered the temple that was split in half. There are still many murals in this temple, and the altar has been demolished. Saleen could also see the foundations of the altar.
As for why the altar was dismantled, Saleen could see that the decay rate of these puppets was much faster than the natural collapse of the temple. These puppets were looking for materials to repair their bodies. Most of the materials needed for the puppet are metal, and there are also some jade or magic cores. In the temple, Salin only saw some steel rocks and various stones.
Steel rock cannot be regarded as an ordinary stone, but it is not jade either.
All the wood in the temple was actually preserved. Salin knew that when there was a shortage of star-patterned cloth, the wood could be used to make dolls. Wood is also a common material for making puppets.
These woods seemed to be intact. Salin released an ancient puppet to carry the wood. As expected, the ancient puppet turned into ashes as soon as his hands touched the wood.
Saleen ordered the puppet to collect the ashes of these materials. You must know that these woods were originally very high-grade materials. After they are reduced to ashes in an aging state, they are still precious alchemy materials. Those puppets don't know how to do alchemy, so they can only use the stupidest methods to repair their bodies.
Everything in this hall can be used as a material for alchemy.
Saleen remained calm as ancient dolls were summoned one by one. In the blink of an eye, there were already 360 dolls. With so many ancient puppets appearing, it is impossible for the puppets in the distance not to notice them.
The leaders of the two puppets were surprised when they saw a large number of puppets appearing around Salin.
"I said, is that a mage or a puppet master?"
"An astrologer?"
"No, he must be a magician."
"Don't worry about his profession. Look, he has a lot of helpers. Can we still catch him?"
"No, our men's fighting power can only scare ordinary people."
"How about letting the big man take action?"
"No, if it weren't for the big man carrying it for us, we would have died of old age."
The two puppets' discussion came to no result, and Salin began the process of dismantling the temple. Although this temple complex was severely damaged, it was only the ground part. The underground parts of some temples are still intact, and Saleen actually saw the magic core warehouse underground.
Those magic cores were randomly piled up in the warehouse like slag regardless of their quality.
Ancient humans did not value magic core as much as they do today, but it was still a relatively precious thing. It is reasonable for Goddess Myers to leave so many magic cores behind. This temple is still reserved for mages.
These underground warehouses can only be opened by human mages above level ten, so no divine power is needed this time.
Those puppets, lacking the special mental power of humans, did not discover these underground warehouses. After all, Saleen's visit was not in vain. The materials and equipment originally given to the mage have long since disappeared, but these magic cores are enough to make up for the loss.
Because Goddess Mels is not as stingy as the Grand Master, all the magic cores left behind are level nine or above. For a while, Saleen couldn't tell what kind of demonic beast the demonic cores were. The types of these demonic cores were too complicated. Most of them probably came from other planes. Salin even saw some demons with divine attributes. The core should be left behind after the monsters raised by the gods were killed.
It seems that some books are correct in saying that Myers participated in the conquest of other planes, rather than being a god of peace as most legends describe.
Each of these magic cores left by Mels is probably stained with blood. These were the trophies that Mels obtained from his killing spree in various dimensions back then.
An eighteenth-level god is the main god. When killing people wantonly, only gods of the same level can compete. What kind of god was Myers back then? Salin had a rough idea in his mind.
I'm afraid the consequences of offending Mels won't be too good.
Although Salin thought this, he still did not stop dismantling the temple. Although the temple has collapsed, for Saleen, dismantling the temple is erasing the traces left by the goddess Myers.
There is no need for gods in this world. Even if he is bound by the contract and must resurrect Mels, he will never let Mels grow to the terrifying level 18 again.
If the gods want to be resurrected, they must first rekindle the divine fire, and the basic condition for igniting the divine fire is the thirteen poles.
Saleen demolished these temples because he was afraid that after Mels was really resurrected from the Thirteenth Pole, he would be able to use these temples to quickly regain his strength. Without the means she arranged before her death, each advancement of the goddess would be tens of millions of times more difficult than for humans.
This is the price for Mels to become a god. If he does not become a god, humans will advance much faster than gods.
When human beings advance to level 12 or above, the calculation units are thousand years and ten thousand years, while for gods, the calculation units are millions of years, tens of millions of years, and billions of years.
There is another detail here. Geniuses among humans will break this time limit, but no matter how powerful the gods are, they can only endure it slowly.
For example, it is said that the emperor of the First Dynasty advanced from an ordinary person to the highest level in the entire crystal wall system in only 40,000 years. Under normal circumstances, it would take more than 120,000 years for humans to advance from level 17 to level 18.
There are also puppets in the temple. At first, Saleen asked the ancient puppets to bypass these puppets. Later, he found that these puppets were basically decayed. Even if they could move, they had no fighting power. He simply found the blank star. The pattern scroll seals all the more unique puppets.
Puppetry is a relatively difficult magic, and Salin has learned very little. The structure of these puppets is also the essence of alchemy. Salin said that he sealed them because he was afraid that these puppets would continue to decay. At that time, he could not even get the structural diagram of the puppets.
Saleen looted twenty-four dilapidated halls along the way. Apart from the magic core warehouse, the most precious ones were these sealed puppets.
Salin watched the ancient puppets dismantle the last hall, and then he was satisfied. Surrounded by the ancient puppets, he returned to the giant puppet.
"Have you two agreed?"
"What are we discussing?" the two puppets asked inexplicably.
"Become my subordinate, or continue to wait here to die?" Salin asked.
Both puppets were furious. The legless puppet pointed at Salin and shouted: "The goddess's followers want us to surrender. Even the purification spell can't do anything to us. Do you want us to be slaves?"
Salin pointed to the ancient dolls beside him with a smile and said: "I am stronger than you now. These dolls are not restricted by the rules here, and they are also my eyes. For the big man behind you, I only need a hundred I can do it with just one doll. Now, I just don’t want to part with these expenses, so you’d better have a good talk with me about how to trade.” M! ~!
