Bill was extremely strange. He only trusted puppets and seemed to be very wary of humans, especially in ruins. In the future excavations, Bill was found in all the ruins, but there were no signs of lifeforms other than puppets. Whether it was humans or other races, there were almost no signs of lifeforms other than puppets.
From the moment they entered, they had discovered a large amount of signs of human activity. Thus, even if they had discovered that these ruins were very similar to the puppet base in the Raging Flame Plane, they hadn't been sure that these were the ruins left behind by Bill Clinton.
Because Bill Bill's personality was too distinct, he never trusted humans. He would always be accompanied by a large number of puppets. Everything was done with the help of puppets, and when he encountered a war, he would lead a huge puppet army by himself.
This was also the reason why Bill Gates was equivalent to a major force, because no one knew how many puppets Bill Gates had, or how powerful they were. But every time a battle broke out, the endless puppets would submerge the other side. It was a sea of undead tactic that didn't require any technique.
But it had to be said that this tactic was very effective at times. The puppets weren't afraid of death, and they were just like the undead. They wouldn't hesitate to cut off their opponents' heads if their bodies were pierced. Apart from the undead army, no army could maintain their morale while fighting against a puppet army.
The main reason why the undead were so frightening was because of this. They were endless in number and didn't fear death. They only kept advancing and slaughtering. Any lifeform with intelligence would be afraid of them.
Now, after finding the two incomplete notes, Lin Yun was certain that even if Bill Bill wasn't personally in charge of these ruins, it was directly related to him.
Because some scattered clues showed that these people were all Bill Bill's descendants, and all of them were proficient in alchemy.
They were here to help complete a task that puppets couldn't complete, and it was related to the Heaven Puppet's ability rune.
Seeing this, Lin Yun instantly understood.
A Heaven Puppet's ability rune could only awaken a special ability after advancing to the Heaven Rank, after awakening wisdom.
And the manifestation of that ability was the ability rune, which would have a lot of effects on the puppet's fighting strength or other abilities.
But even after Noscent's destruction, the mages couldn't find a perfect way to transplant this ability rune. The effect of the transplant would be greatly reduced, or they would be lucky enough to subdue a Heaven Puppet, and that Heaven Puppet just happened to have the ability to transplant the ability rune.
In the Puppet Plane, this kind of ability rune could be transplanted, but it could only happen between puppets. It contained some kind of Law Power that could help them complete this kind of transplant.
But this was only limited to transplanting other puppets' ability runes to their own bodies and helping other puppets transplant ability runes. Only three were recorded in history, and those three were all terrifying powerhouses of the Puppet Plane, the pillars of the Cybertan Race. They had existed for a very long time, even dating back to the Era of Gods.
Clearly, human powerhouses hadn't conquered the Puppet Plane, so they naturally couldn't make puppets help transplant ability runes.
As for the ability runes on the Heaven Puppets' bodies, they clearly hadn't been transplanted by defeating other puppets, they had been transplanted through alchemy.
This showed that Bill Clinton had already grasped the method to transplant ability runes, and this research and experiment clearly couldn't be done with puppets. Thus, he could only look for humans to help. This might be a last resort. Bill Clinton looked for his descendants and chose some of them to participate in the research.
But the ruins were divided into large and small pieces, and every piece was carefully traversed. This kind of distrustful cautiousness was in line with Bill Clinton's personality.
Soon, Lin Yun deduced the purpose of these ruins, but he had even more doubts. Bill Clinton's name represented a legend even at the peak of Noscent. His era was a mystery, and all he left behind was vague information.
Where did he start and where did he end? He was a complete mystery, but his attainments in the field of puppeteering were terrifying, especially some of his techniques, which completely surpassed that era.
Just like the alchemy puppets here. The other technologies weren't worth mentioning, but the fighting system and energy system far surpassed those of that era.
Moreover, this kind of method to transplant the puppet's ability runes didn't exist even after a few dozen millennia.
Lin Yun frowned. He found some clues, but there was nothing valuable. Bill Clinton was too careful, and the people here didn't leave any valuable information. Most of the things they left behind were meaningless diaries.
There wasn't even a record of why these ruins were abandoned.
He kept moving forward, and this time, he directly charged towards the easternmost part of the ruins. There was an array there that surpassed the True Spirit Array, but it wasn't too powerful. It would only be a bit troublesome.
Lin Yun had been researching the Intrepid's Heaven Grade Array. Although that three-dimensional ship-shaped array was a Heaven Grade Array, it was definitely a first-rate Heaven Grade Array. Lin Yun had been researching it, but he had only researched a small part of it.
But such a small portion was enough to make Lin Yun's proficiency in the field of arrays advance by leaps and bounds. Now, when he saw a True Spirit Array, he only needed one glance to know how to crack it. He was confident in cracking a Low Tier Heaven Rank Array if he spent some time.
He followed the map and bypassed a large number of arrays before quickly reaching the easternmost part of the ruins. When he reached the array, it looked like he was already at the end of the ruins. There was a cliff in front of him, and outside the cliff was an endless dense fog. It was as if there was an endless void inside that would make anyone feel fear.
Lin Yun looked at this dense fog and combined it with what he saw on the map. The Magic Array kept revolving, but the Magic Array seemed to be lacking in power and simply couldn't be completely deduced.
After frowning, Lin Yun summoned the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and started using its power to make deductions.
In fact, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was the best at deductions, while the Magic Array was most proficient at endless calculations and capturing data. But the Magic Array was only a Magic Conducting Rune, and it couldn't compare to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel made based on the Magic Array.
But usually, he could just rely on the Magic Array to deal with the problems he encountered. This was also more convenient, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's formidable fighting strength was usually at its peak. Lin Yun almost never used the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to make deductions.
But now, looking at this array, Lin Yun felt that he had underestimated this array.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel rapidly revolved and countless data and runes sprayed out, revolving around the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. As for Lin Yun, countless streams of data were reflected in his eyes. After a dozen minutes, Lin Yun pricked his eyes and the data reflected in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
"Sir Mafa, how is it? Is it very troublesome?"
Laibo couldn't help asking when he saw Lin Yun pause his deductions. Lin Yun had helped them so much before, but they had only helped him crack an array. Laibo felt a bit apologetic, but he couldn't help when he saw that the cracking was troublesome.
Lin Yun shook his head.
"It's fine, it's just a bit troublesome. The previous owner of this place completely sealed this array when he left. There's no way to enter unless the array is forcibly broken.
"Wait a bit, I'll go in and investigate."
After saying that, Lin Yun stepped off the cliff, but his body seemed to be walking on the ground as he slowly disappeared into the dense fog.
Mariana had a look of surprise on her face. She walked over to the edge of the cliff and took a step in the air. However, she discovered that she had stepped on something solid and not empty at all. Looking down, there was an endless abyss at the bottom of the cliff. It was as if there was something terrifying waiting for people to fall down there. Just a single glance at it was enough to make one feel a little terrified.
"This place is actually an illusion, we can't even sense it. My deathless aura is giving me the feeling that this isn't an illusion …"
The group stood on the edge of the cliff while Lin Yun had already entered the array. After entering, there was an endless dense fog. Lin Yun suddenly blinked, and in an instant, countless runes were reflected in his eyes. In the scene he saw, that layer of dense fog looked like a veil that had been lifted.
More than half of the dense fog instantly dimmed, and huge law runes were constantly roaming in the air. These law runes seemed to be moving according to a predetermined route, just like the stars in the starry sky, constantly revolving around a predetermined route since ancient times.
Lin Yun's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw these law runes, because the construction method of these law runes was the same as the one he used.
It wasn't the ten runes combined into one law rune that had been passed down for generations!
Lin Yun's method of constructing a law rune was to fuse three runes before building another rune on top of them. Four runes would form a triangular shape, and with the triangular shape as the foundation, he would once again combine them to form a law rune. At the very least, he would need twelve runes to be enough.
And the most stable method required sixteen runes to form a law rune. This was the most stable construction method. After ten millennia, this would be used by all Heaven Rank powerhouses.
But this construction method was too difficult. Before advancing to the Heaven Rank, Lin Yun could only use twelve runes to form a law rune. But this kind of incomplete structure couldn't even compare to the lowest runes. Yet it made the power contained in Lin Yun's law runes stronger than most 1st or 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouses' law runes.
The most powerful Law Runes were constructed with at least 16 runes as a unit.
And what he was seeing now was a law rune constructed from twelve runes as a basic unit!
This would undoubtedly make the array even more stable and even more difficult to crack. If it had been another Heaven Mage, they wouldn't have been able to compare to the basic units of law runes and simply wouldn't be able to crack it. Apart from forcibly dismantling this array, there would be no other way.
And forcibly dismantling the array would inevitably destroy the ruins along with it.
The world of law runes had a strict hierarchy. Only the higher ranks could move down, while the lower ranks absolutely couldn't move up.
If it was another alchemist, even a first-rate Artisan, they wouldn't be able to crack it even if they knew the method to crack it. Because their law runes weren't enough, the cracking method would be useless!
Lin Yun had a strange expression as he felt that something was wrong. 'Bill spent so much effort to seal this place, could it be to seal something?
What could make him feel that it would be a pity to destroy it, but he wasn't willing to let it fall into someone else's hands?
'Then there's only one thing, the Reedpush Plate!'
Apart from that, Lin Yun couldn't think of anything else. Only this kind of thing would be regarded as a peerless treasure by countless mages during the peak of Noscent. They wouldn't even dare to dismantle it for research. It could only be used as a core component of the Shelter Tower.
Any alchemist would look at the Reedpush Plate as if it was a peerless treasure, they wouldn't even be willing to dismantle it for research.
After making this deduction, Lin Yun immediately sped up his exploration route and quickly circled the array's periphery, memorizing the positions and arrangements of the seven core nodes. He even left a large number of law runes surrounding the core nodes.
This array had already reached the Heaven Rank, but it was an open array. It was useless without cracking all seven core nodes at the same time.
Cracking one would immediately trigger a change in the array, and the deeper one went, the more dangerous it would be. It was as if this array had been set up to be cracked. This was the strangest part.
At least other Heaven Grade Arrays, even the lowest Heaven Grade Array, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to go in and out so easily. Seeing some key points of the array so easily made Lin Yun feel that there was some deeper meaning behind this. After walking out of the array, Lin Yun hesitated before taking out a piece of Eternal Dark Gold. The Demons of the Abyss had been continuously sending this kind of thing through sacrifices. Although there seemed to be a lot of it, this kind of thing could never be too much. The Natural Demiplane kept getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of Eternal Dark Gold needed to reinforce the Natural Demiplane was astronomical.
But the good thing was that the Natural Demiplane's defenses would be thoroughly integrated with the Natural Demiplane if enough Eternal Dark Gold was fused into it during the development stage.
And the Eternal Dark Gold he would need to build the Shelter Tower in the future. Using a bit in order to crack the array was a bit wasteful for Lin Yun.
But apart from that, the other materials couldn't resonate within the array at the same time.
Lin Yun took out a crystal pen and Star Ink and kept carving core runes and patterns on the surface of the seven pieces of Eternal Dark Gold. He also kept spitting out law runes that merged with the Eternal Dark Gold.
After half an hour, the seven pieces of metal plates used to crack the array were completed. With the law runes left at the core nodes, cracking the array would be much easier. This was the benefit of having more people.
If Lin Yun had been alone, he simply wouldn't have been able to crack the seven core nodes of the Heaven Grade Array at the same time. In the end, he would only be able to crack seven times in a row.
After cracking one, the rest would be reassembled into a new array. Every time he cracked one, he would have to probe the array again and crack it again. This would take too much time, and five days simply wouldn't be enough.
After handing over the cracking metal plates to Laibo and the others, the seven of them would go to the seven core nodes. It was just right, and Lin Yun could take charge of the overall situation. This was the most perfect cracking method. They might be able to crack this array within an hour.
"I'll bring you to the location of each of the core nodes. Some means have already been set up there. When the time comes, the metal plates in your hands will resonate. When all the runes and patterns on the metal plates light up, you'll just have to insert the metal plates into the location of the core nodes.
"But you have to choose the right time and not make any careless movements. As long as there are no problems, this array is the easiest Heaven Grade Array to crack. If you don't grasp the right time or trigger some other change, my previous arrangements will lose their effect. At that time, you'll have to face the full power of a Heaven Grade Array."
Lin Yun spoke casually, but the others could feel the bone-chilling coldness in his words. They all turned to look at Constantine.
Constantine's expression darkened.
"What are you looking at me for? I know what I can do and what I can't do."
Lin Yun reminded them once and didn't say anything else. If Constantine acted on his own, he would be the first to die. Among the Secret Monastery's people, apart from Laibo, who might be able to survive the first wave of attacks, the other six would all die within three seconds. No one could save them.
Lin Yun took the lead and led Laibo into the array. By calculating the changes of the array, he found a safe path. These safe paths were constantly changing and their positions were different every second. Only by using the Magic Array and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could they keep up with the array's changing speed.
