It wasn't that Lin Yun couldn't make powerful puppets, but rather, making one or two was completely different from the assembly line of the puppet base.
This was the difference between a laboratory product and a product that could be popularized. The time needed for something to be manufactured in the laboratory to be popularized under control might be the difference of an entire era.
The best way to improve the puppet base was to go to the Puppet Plane. As long as it was something related to puppets, he could find a solution there.
There might be some components that couldn't be manufactured at a low cost in the base, and there were countless puppets in the Puppet Plane with those components.
At this time, Lin Yun recalled the Planar Infiltrator he had captured and imprisoned.
Byron was already going crazy. He had been imprisoned by Lin Yun using the power of the Demiplane. Let alone the Planar Shadow, he couldn't even merge with the spatial shadow. It was like Lin Yun had drawn a circle, and he could only stare blankly at the outside of the circle, unable to take a step out.
The ability he was so proud of was completely useless now, and he wanted to rely on his own strength to force his way out? Stop joking around. You can continue dreaming after you fall asleep.
As the Natural Demiplane grew, not only did it have the protection of Eternal Dark Gold comparable to the amount of Eternal Dark Gold available in Noscent, but as time passed, that Eternal Dark Gold would fuse with the Demiplane as it grew. That way, it would be equivalent to the Demiplane having the power of Eternal Dark Gold.
Moreover, there was the God Fire Ember at the top of the Demiplane acting as the sun. Its radiance would cover the entire Demiplane and cripple the Planar Infiltrator.
If a Heaven Rank powerhouse came, they would be suppressed to death in the Demiplane!
Lin Yun went to the place where Byron was imprisoned and undid the Demiplane's suppression. He saw a lifeless Byron, his hair and beard reaching his chest. He looked like a barbarian that had lived somewhere for decades, and his body was emitting a foul stench.
Byron foolishly looked at Lin Yun, forgetting that the cage imprisoning him had already dissipated.
"A mental breakdown?"
Lin Yun was a bit stunned. That guy was an Archmage, and a Planar Infiltrator at that. How could he collapse after being locked up for such a short time?
Those Planar Infiltrators were all more patient than Assassins. In order to successfully infiltrate a plane, these guys could even turn into shadows and blend into the shadows of the Planar Path. Then, they wouldn't eat or drink and would maintain this state of slowly consuming mana for several years.
In order to find an opportunity, the longest recorded time a plane stowaway spent in a place was 28 years!
At that time, the Planar Overseer who set the record couldn't even get angry after being smuggled over and stealing the Planar Coordinates. He even generously gave the Planar Overseer a precious Magic Tool that he needed.
In order to steal something, he transformed into a shadow and hid for twenty-eight years. The group of Heaven Mages couldn't get angry, and there was even a powerhouse surpassing the Heaven Rank who felt that that guy was very persistent and gifted him a sizable plane.
But this guy in front of him actually had a mental breakdown after just being locked up?
Lin Yun attentively watched Byron for a long time. Byron's eyes didn't have much vigor, they were empty and looked as if his soul had been torn apart. His mind had thoroughly collapsed and he had turned into an idiot.
Lin Yun sighed. He had found a Planar Infiltrator with great difficulty. Although he could only be considered a Planar Infiltrator Apprentice, it wasn't easy in this era.
Just as Lin Yun was about to leave, Byron's eyes regained their vigor. His body then transformed into a shadow and instantly disappeared.
Lin Yun sensed the fluctuations behind him and turned to look. Byron's silhouette had already disappeared, and he couldn't even find Byron's location by relying on the mana fluctuations. He had to rely on the Magic Array and law runes to barely catch a trace of Byron's movements.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth as he looked into the distance. After saying that, he turned around and left.
"I'll let you leave if you can escape from this place."
Byron turned into a shadow, his heart filled with alarm. He was constantly in a state of merging with the shadows. In order to be safe, he didn't dare to merge with the shadows of other things. Those trees, vegetation, mountain peaks … Byron gave up on any shadow he could see and directly merged with the shadows of space to move stealthily.
Sensing that Lin Yun didn't notice him, Byron smiled.
'That terrifying guy is really too frightening. He actually caught me and imprisoned me. Fortunately, I was smart and thought for a long time before coming up with this method. I waited for him to relax his vigilance.
'Who would have thought that that damned guy would only come to see me after so long? Could it be that he wanted to capture me and imprison me until I died? Fortunately, I tricked him, I can't be caught again.
Let me find the entrance to the Planar Path. Oh, damn it, the entrance to the Planar Path is actually in midair. What a cunning fellow. But it doesn't matter, I've already blended into the shadows of the space. Even if it's in midair, it can't stop me.
'Hey, crafty and frightening guy, I'm leaving, it would be best if we never meet again.
'Eh, should I get the coordinates of this plane? Forget it, I shouldn't provoke that frightening guy. Who knows if he will chase me after I get the coordinates …'
Byron cautiously moved stealthily, drifting along with the spatial fluctuations as he slowly floated towards the Spatial Path imprint that Lin Yun had left behind.
After three days, he quickly floated to where Lin Yun had appeared. That was the portal corresponding to the coordinates Lin Yun had left behind when he entered the Raging Flame Plane.
As for Lin Yun, he didn't care about Byron for a long time. More than half of the Natural Demiplane was already under Lin Yun's control. Now, he was only missing the last step, controlling the Laws. But that process was a very slow one. At the very least, Lin Yun would have to comprehend it before he could control it.
But finding Byron, who had turned into a shadow and merged with the shadows, was too simple. Byron floated like a thief for three days before reaching the entrance.
In the puppet base, Lin Yun immediately smiled and said to Shawn, who had been munching on mana crystals all day, "Lord Shawn, haven't you been very bored recently?
"Lord Xiao En, haven't you been very bored recently? I found something for you to entertain. But please don't kill it, I have a great use for it."
After saying that, Lin Yun told Shawn the location of the entrance. The bored Shawn immediately became spirited and floated towards the entrance with a grin.
Shawn floated near the entrance, but didn't discover anything strange. He rolled his eyes and closed them, pretending to be asleep.
A dozen meters away, Byron cautiously approached the entrance, but he discovered that the strange Ghost Wolf wasn't reacting and slowly sighed in relief.
Byron walked to the entrance and would be able to leave with just one more step, but he still didn't discover any movement from that strange Ghost Wolf.
He grinned, excited to the point that he almost fell out of his shadow state.
'Damned guy, I can finally leave this damned place. Damnit, look at the people here. A terrifying guy that discovered me and imprisoned me, and that huge puppet base seems to be continuously producing puppets. The lowest puppet is actually level 30 …
'Damnit, the Quicksand Tower and the Shadow Tower are all treated as the lowest level laborers, and they don't even dare to resist.
'I have to immediately leave this place and return to Noscent. No, I have to go to a plane where I can never see that terrifying guy again …'
Byron happily blended into the shadows and rushed towards the entrance.
Just as he was about to step into the Planar Path's shadow, a dark golden wall of light appeared in a place that ordinary mages couldn't detect. Byron bumped into that wall of light.
"Ouch, damnit, what is that …"
In the air, Byron's silhouette suddenly appeared. There was an obvious bump on his head and his mana had become unstable.
Byron suddenly shivered as he looked at the Ghost Wolf, who was grinning at him. He then looked around and discovered that he had already fallen out of his shadow state.
Before he could turn back into a shadow, he saw a light flash in the eyes of that grinning Ghost Wolf. In an instant, Byron let out a blood-curdling screech. His complexion was deathly pale as he fell to the ground.
Shawn laughed heartily as if he had found a fun toy. He chased after Byron and rushed into Byron's body. Then, Shawn came out again and scratched his chin with a claw, a bit hesitant.
'Merlin said that I can't play with that guy to death, it's very useful. If I go in, what if I accidentally tear that guy's soul apart? 'Forget it, I'll be careful and take a look. Yes, I'll just take a look …'
After entering Byron's head once again, Byron let out a blood-curdling scream. His pupils dilated and his body continuously twitched as he fell to the ground, as if he was about to die.
Shawn cautiously drilled out of Byron's head and thought about the surroundings. This time, he immediately jumped out and fiercely slapped Byron.
"Idiot, hurry up and get up, don't play dead. The great Lord Shawn knows when to stop, I know you'll definitely be fine. Damnit, don't blame Lord Shawn if you don't get up …"
After saying that, Shawn blew on Byron's head. In an instant, Byron seemed to have been revived and he crawled up with a frightened expression. He looked at Shawn as if he was looking at a devil that specialized in playing with souls.
"Devil, damnit, you are a devil from hell, the most vicious soul toy …"
Byron didn't finish his words before holding his head and rolling on the ground.
Shawn was in a bad mood and used his claw to pat Byron's head.
"Idiot, the great Lord Shawn is a Soul Walker, he isn't like those filthy devils. How could those idiots compare to the great Lord Shawn?"
A dozen kilometers away, Daggeth raised his head and listened to the faint blood-curdling screams as well as Shawn's curses. Daggeth couldn't help smiling as he took pleasure in other people's misfortune.
'Which idiot actually provoked Lord Shawn? Even if they provoked the Lord Merlin, they shouldn't provoke the Lord Merlin's Demon Tool Incarnation. No, those Incarnations are definitely the most sinister devils. Hell's most sinister devils might not necessarily be able to torture people like these guys.
'But that's fine, someone is attracting the attention of the new Lord Shawn. We'll be safe and enjoy it.'
Three days later, Byron wept and shouted to pledge loyalty to Shawn. He then took the initiative to join the Demiplane's labor reform army.
Unfortunately, both Daggeth and Dyrrhus didn't want to accept that guy. They insisted that they had enough manpower and didn't need to replenish the labor force. Thus, they could only let Byron display his expertise and sort out the areas that ordinary people couldn't see.
Half a month quickly passed, and the news of the negotiations between the humans and Beastmen spread. Lin Yun was naturally invited as a participant of the negotiations.
Lin Yun didn't need to go to the negotiations to guess the outcome.
After the Raging Flame Plane went through this disaster, both the humans and the Beasts had lingering fears and simply didn't dare to start an all-out war. Who knew if the Raging Flame Plane's Origin Power would be roused because of the war?
After all, that God's body was still slumbering in the depths of the Raging Flame Plane. Moreover, the God's soul had yet to be eliminated. Who knew if the other side would take advantage of the opportunity to cause another calamity?
They didn't dare to fight. This was very important. More importantly, the Raging Flame Plane had gone through this calamity. The earth was shaking and the sky was torn apart. After recovering, it brought a lot of benefits.
The energy storms rushing down from the torn sky made the environment of the Raging Flame Plane worse and worse. As the Raging Flame Plane's origin power was devoured by the God, these chaotic energy storms would destroy the Raging Flame Plane.
But now, the Raging Flame Plane itself was stabilizing, and these chaotic energy storms started calming down under the effect of the Raging Flame Plane's origin power.
This way, the mana of the Raging Flame Plane would keep growing for a very long time, and the diversity of mana would also increase. This was a huge benefit, whether it was for humans or Beastmen, or even for the production of many resources in the Raging Flame Plane, it was very beneficial.
And the most direct benefit of the earth being torn apart was that many precious resources that had been buried in the depths of the earth and couldn't be discovered had been turned over to the surface, or had appeared in the shallow layers of the earth. These were all places that could be explored.
Moreover, these resources had been around for a very long time, and many of them were precious resources on the verge of extinction. There were even a few kinds of ores that needed a very long time to be produced, and they had all appeared in Magic Metal Veins.
In an instant, the resources of the Raging Flame Plane were a lot more than before, and even the quality of the resources was a lot higher than before.
Recently, over thirty new veins had been discovered in the Four Seasons Plain, and many precious resources had been discovered in large quantities. These abundant resources immediately raised the puppet base's research to a whole new level, and the progress had greatly accelerated. As for the Grey Beastmen's fort, the city that had just started to gain fame, there were more and more people coming and going.
The patrolling puppets of the Grey Beastmen's fort had all been raised to Level 35. Every squad was led by a Level 37 puppet, and the five members were all Level 35.
As for the Senior Captain level puppets, they were a new kind of Level 39 battle puppets developed by the puppet base. If it weren't for the fact that the materials needed were too high and the time and manpower required were too high, making it impossible to mass-produce them, Lin Yun would have made all the puppets in the Grey Beastmen's fort level 39.
With these ice-cold puppets guarding the fort, no one dared to cause trouble in the Grey Beastmen's fort. After all, these puppets would only carry out their orders and wouldn't care about the status of the other side. During this time, three children of the Grey Beastmen's families had been killed, and there was even a Level 39 Mage who wanted to protect them. A few Level 39 Captains had been torn to shreds.
As for the other side's Families, they could only pinch their noses and accept it. They simply didn't dare to cause trouble for Lin Yun. Lin Yun's strength had already spread, and with the Intrepid having solved its energy problem, no one dared to provoke Lin Yun in the Raging Flame Plane.
The appearance of the Dark Elves, Firerock Dwarves, and Ash Beastmen didn't cause too much of an impact, mainly because no one dared to provoke them. After all, the three races were all on the Intrepid.
The might of the numerous mana crystal cannons on the Intrepid was something that all the Heaven Rank powerhouses of the Raging Flame Plane had seen. Especially that main cannon, which almost collapsed the Holy Mountain. That wasn't an ability a Low Rank Heaven Rank powerhouse could possess.
Although the humans and Beastmen couldn't help cursing each other when they went to negotiate, and some of them couldn't help running outside, both sides reached an agreement when the negotiations started.
The war had to stop, and the resources of the Raging Flame Plane were more than enough for everyone to eat. There was no need to start a war to fight over territory and resources.
The only thing that needed to be discussed was how to distribute the benefits.
Lin Yun sat on the round table with his eyes closed. He didn't want to participate in this matter.
Apart from the Merlin Family's territory, Lin Yun was now occupying a remote territory originally occupied by the Black Iron Beastmen. That place had sparse vegetation, and the environment was relatively vile. Apart from mineral resources, no plants could be found there.
That place's mineral resources had become even more abundant, but they weren't too good.
As for the Four Seasons Plain and the basin mountain range adjacent to it, they were all territories that Lin Yun focused on managing. They were now terrifyingly rich in mineral and plant resources. After the magic beasts and Demons contaminated the basin mountain range were cleaned up, many magic plants that hadn't been there before appeared.
Unfortunately, no one dared to make Lin Yun spit it out. With these two territories, Lin Yun was quite satisfied. After all, the Raging Flame Plane's territory had been divided up, and the only things that were being debated were some of the more controversial areas.
And these areas were quite far from Lin Yun's territory. Lin Yun didn't feel like listening to these people's discussions. After coming and confirming his own benefits, he didn't feel like caring about how they fought over them.
The benefits of the Raging Flame Plane couldn't be fought over anymore. There was a Planar Path leading to the Puppet Plane on the Four Seasons Plain, and the benefits of the Puppet Plane were far greater than the entire Raging Flame Plane. Lin Yun truly didn't care about those small benefits.
Unfortunately, while Lin Yun was comprehending Law Runes with his eyes closed, some people still talked about Lin Yun.
The Shadow Tower and the Black Flame Beastmen were arguing over who should own the adjacent territory. As they were discussing, the Shadow Tower's Heaven Rank powerhouse suddenly noticed Lin Yun, who had his eyes closed and was ignoring everyone else.
Joseph rolled his eyes and sneered.
'That Mafa Merlin actually doesn't care about anything at such a time. The Four Seasons Plain's resources were even more abundant now. The four seasons were as warm as spring, and not only were there more mineral resources than before, but there were also more types of plants.
The most important part was that there were no magic beasts on the Four Seasons Plain, only some puppets that came out of nowhere. Those puppets didn't have any thoughts about those precious plants, so they all belonged to Mafa Merlin.
'Damnit, that guy only needs to firmly grasp the Four Seasons Plain and that mountain range basin to obtain more resources than any of our forces. Not to mention that he has already established a city there, and the profits generated every day are definitely comparable to a major city in Noscent.
'Lucky guy, how could that idiot Birbo die? He could have gotten rid of Mafa Merlin before he died. If Mafa Merlin died in the Holy Mountain, our Shadow Tower's territory would be adjacent to his, and it would be too easy to plunder the Four Seasons Plain.
'But we still haven't confirmed our territory. A third of the Four Seasons Plain is sandwiched between our Shadow Tower's territory and the Black Flame Beastmen's territory. As long as we snatch that part of the territory, it would be a huge profit.
'I'm sure that greedy Black Flame Beastman wouldn't refuse this suggestion. A third of the Four Seasons Plain, the resources and benefits would be a lot greater than the area between our two territories.
