Lin Yun sealed the eight Heaven Puppets and put them away. These eight Heaven Puppets were the best research targets, and with the one he found before, cracking the method to transfer the ability runes had become very easy.
When the time came, he would dismantle these puppets and transfer their ability runes. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to manufacture a few Heaven Puppets. As for whether they could awaken wisdom, that would depend on luck.
And with so many components, the patched puppet would be able to recover its Heaven Rank power, but he didn't know if the patched puppet's wisdom could recover. The patched puppet definitely knew some terrifying secret. Lin Yun could still clearly remember the horrifying words the patched puppet said when he first obtained it.
After the battle ended, Lin Yun didn't enter the mage tower. Instead, he walked towards Laibo and took out three Health Potions he had refined and handed them to Laibo.
Laibo's vitality had been greatly damaged, and even with Health Potions, he could only recover a portion of it. And this was because he had just consumed it. It was like a bottle of water suddenly disappearing by half. If he immediately replenished it, there would be hope of filling it up again.
And everyone's life was like a continuously shrinking bottle. Their vitality would keep being consumed, and the bottle's capacity would keep shrinking. When the bottle shrunk to the point where it couldn't support life, it would be the moment of death.
But even if he could replenish it, Laibo would need a very long time to properly recuperate.
After taking three Health Potions in a row, a portion of Laibo's mostly white hair recovered, and his low vitality also recovered quite a bit. At least, he was no longer without any fighting power. He would be able to hold on for a while in a less intense battle.
After settling Laibo down, Lin Yun immediately went to the mage tower. The entrance of the mage tower was still covered with a strange array, and without a password, he could only forcibly crack it.
But this difficulty was meaningless. Lin Yun used less than two minutes to crack the array and entered the mage tower.
Unexpectedly, the interior of the mage tower was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside, but it was completely empty.
Lin Yun walked up and didn't see any array obstructing him. There was nothing in the first nine floors. All the houses were empty, and there wasn't even any simple alchemy equipment.
On the 10th floor, there was no room division, there was only a few thousand square meters of open space. At the center was a crystal table covered in a layer of light, and there were two things inside the light barrier.
After approaching, a few law runes appeared on Lin Yun's fingers and he easily broke open the light barrier. This light barrier didn't have any defensive power, it was only a protective device to prevent the things inside from decaying over time.
A palm-sized thing that looked like an exquisite mechanical key was calmly placed on the crystal table. It looked like countless exquisite components were assembled together, and a wisp of faint mana fluctuations was flowing on the surface of that mechanical key. There was even a hole in the center that looked like it was inlaid with some kind of mana gem. But even the best mana gem wouldn't be able to provide too much power in such a small area.
He couldn't see the use of that thing just by looking at it. He could only confirm that it was some kind of alchemy device, and it had the shape of a key. It might be the key to opening a certain area.
As for the Reedpush Plate, there was no trace of it. Lin Yun frowned, puzzled.
'Could it be that the letter obtained by the Merlin Family was wrong? Impossible, that letter came from the 3rd Dynasty. The symbols and patterns on it should have been left behind during the 3rd Dynasty.
'Apart from the Reedpush Plate, what else could be worthy of Bill Mill's meticulous protection? An ordinary alchemist might not be able to discover how powerful the Reedpush Plate was, but Bill Mill, who could be considered the strongest alchemist during the peak of Noscent, definitely wouldn't underestimate the Reedpush Plate.
'Could it be that it was this key device?'
Lin Yun put down the key device and then looked at another thing. That was a notebook covered in a specially made magic beast skin that could protect it from external damage.
He opened the notebook and saw that the paper inside was a special kind of paper produced during the 3rd Dynasty. That kind of paper could no longer be produced because the raw materials were extinct.
The paper could endure over ten thousand years without decaying, and with the ink of a special kind of magic beast in the Endless Sea, the notebook wouldn't decay even after a few dozen millennia as long as it wasn't destroyed by an external force.
He flipped through the notebook and saw many research processes recorded within. The design and train of thought for the puppet's energy system and battle system were all recorded in detail.
There was even the method to transplant the Heaven Rank Puppet's ability rune, which was also researched by Bill Mill. According to the notebook, Bill Mill had gotten rid of over a hundred Heaven Rank Puppets before getting a clue, and he couldn't even count how many Heaven Rank Puppets he had gotten rid of.
And the most important record, the use of the key device, was also recorded in the notebook.
That thing was the key to the Puppet Plane's entrance. It could open the Planar Path to the Puppet Plane at any time and any place, and Bill Mill relied on that thing to frequently enter and exit the Puppet Plane to capture Heaven Rank Puppets.
The notes were completely in line with Bill Mill's temperament. They were strict to the point of being ice-cold and were all related to alchemy. There wasn't a single word of nonsense, and there wasn't a single word of personal emotion.
The further the notes went, the more battles he fought against the Cybertan Race in the Puppet Plane. Heaven Rank Puppets had awakened wisdom and were completely different from puppets under the Heaven Rank.
Even if Bill Mill dismantled all the puppets under the Heaven Rank in the Puppet Plane, he believed that the Heaven Rank Puppets wouldn't have any reaction. But if he targeted Heaven Rank Puppets, it would be a battle between races.
According to the notes, towards the end, in order to capture Heaven Rank Puppets for experiments, Bill Mill even fought a Peak Heaven Puppet. The war between the two puppet armies lasted for half a year, and the number of puppets turned into scrap metal added up to seven to eight million.
And this was nothing more than a pile of ice-cold numbers in Bill Mill's notes.
Lin Yun frowned as he slowly flipped through the notes. Towards the end, it seemed that Bill Mill's true purpose for establishing the ruins here wasn't to experiment with puppets, but rather to conduct some kind of alchemy experiment in order to complete an alchemy device.
Lin Yun was even more confused when he reached the last three pages. All kinds of components were recorded, the design of each component, the materials needed, the processing method, everything was recorded in great detail, but it didn't say why these components were made that way.
There were only scattered components and detailed manufacturing processes. The last two pages were like that, but when he turned to the last page, a detailed overall design appeared in the notes.
Seeing this design, Lin Yun's hand shook and the notes fell to the ground. He couldn't help letting out an alarmed shout.
"Reedpush Plate!"
Lin Yun's mana surged as he caught the falling notebook. Shock could still be seen on Lin Yun's face as he held the notebook once again, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"Damnit, this is the detailed design of the Reedpush Plate! Damnit, how could there be such a thing? Was that thing designed by Bill Mill?
No, no, there must be something wrong with it! "
Facing this kind of thing, Lin Yun couldn't remain calm. The Reedpush Plate would be a finished product in the future, but because it was too complicated, it would be a complete whole after being manufactured. If he wanted to disassemble it and research it, he might end up destroying the only Reedpush Plate.
And even then, there might be no results from the research, and there might be no guarantee that another one could be manufactured. Thus, at that time, the Reedpush Plate was directly used as a core component of the Shelter Tower, there wasn't a second one!
Similarly, by the time Noscent was destroyed, the Reedpush Plate had never had a design or a component part.
But now, he could see the detailed design of the Reedpush Plate. Even the most important and most complicated material ratios and the selection of all kinds of materials were recorded in detail.
Lin Yun's hands trembled as he put the notebook on the crystal table. He closed his eyes and softly took a deep breath, his mind slowly cooling down.
'This thing might not have been designed by Bill Mill, there must have been another alchemist here. They must have cooperated to research the Reedpush Plate, and it definitely wasn't a simple design.
There had to be other secrets behind it. Reedpush was the name that was engraved on it when he obtained it in the future. It was written in an obscure language from the Third Dynasty. When translated into the current language of prophecy, it meant redemption.
'The Redemption Plate represents the greatest effect of the Reedpush Plate, and it also has a special meaning.'
'These ruins, the puppet research, everything is for this thing. The puppet research is only incidentally done.'
'The puppet's ability rune didn't need to be transplanted into puppets, but more importantly, transplanted into the Reedpush Plate!'
'Every component of the Reedpush Plate represented an ability rune, and the ability rune required for each component was different.'
'This is the complete manufacturing method of the Reedpush Plate. Using the ability runes of puppets to replace runes, or even law runes, its power would reach an unfathomable level.'
'Daring and whimsical, it's like a lunatic's imagination.'
'And similarly, the Reedpush Plate obtained in the future isn't complete. Not only was the Shelter Tower's construction incomplete, but the core component manufacturing was also incomplete.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun's hand couldn't help shaking. 'If that's the case, how powerful would the complete Shelter Tower be?'
The incomplete Shelter Tower sheltered Noscent for a few dozen millennia. That complete Shelter Tower definitely wouldn't let Noscent's mana leak out. No, not only wouldn't it leak out, but it would also become stronger and stronger!
He originally wanted to find the Reedpush Plate, but he hadn't expected to find something even better. The Reedpush Plate's design, this was something he had never dared to think about.
Lin Yun calmed down and started carefully examining the design. But suddenly, he saw a small line of words written in the 3rd Dynasty's language.
"When drawing this design, I felt a pair of unfathomable eyes piercing through the endless spacetime and looking at my body, but I still drew it. Even if I fall, I hope that this design will spread and someone will be able to make it."
Seeing this line, Lin Yun couldn't help thinking of Noscent's destruction. What kind of secret was hidden within? After all, the Shelter Tower was able to forcibly delay Noscent's destruction for a few dozen millennia. One of the important reasons was the existence of the Reedpush Plate.
It was because of this thing that the Shelter Tower could still have enough mana to protect Noscent even after Noscent's mana had dissipated.
He cautiously memorized the contents of the notebook before putting it away. Then, Lin Yun picked up the key device. When he needed to use it, he only needed to keep pouring mana into the key to open a Planar Path leading to the Puppet Plane.
Now that he had advanced to the Heaven Rank, he had a bit of power to go to the Puppet Plane. At the very least, he would be able to escape if he met an unstoppable puppet and wouldn't be instantly killed.
The endless spare parts of the Puppet Plane were the best raw material base for building a puppet army. In particular, now that he had found the blueprint of the Reedpush Plate, collecting the ability runes required for the blueprint became a necessary process.
If he wanted to craft the Reedpush Plate, he naturally had to craft it in its complete state. The incomplete core component and the incomplete Shelter Tower already proved that the final outcome hadn't changed.
Compared to the Reedpush Plate's design, this key to the Puppet Plane's entrance wasn't as precious.
After putting these things away, Lin Yun spat out two law runes towards the crystal table. In an instant, numerous patterns appeared on the crystal table and spread throughout the entire mage tower.
In an instant, the radiance emitted by the top of the mage tower slowly dissipated. The isolation barrier sealing the mage tower also dissipated because it lost its energy supply.
After leaving the mage tower, Laibo and the others were already waiting outside.
"Sir Mafa, is the matter done?"
Laibo was still pale and half of his hair was messed up. He would need at least a year to replenish the lifeforce he consumed. If he had the help of precious potions, he might be able to reduce it a bit. But even if he drank Health Potions every day, he would still need four to five months to recover.
Lin Yun nodded.
"The matter is done, I found what I was looking for, we can leave now.
These are Health Potions I refined myself, they contain a huge amount of lifeforce. Take them, take one bottle every week and you should quickly recover. "
Lin Yun took out a dozen large Health Potions and handed them to Laibo before immediately leading everyone to the exit.
After opening the exit and sending Laibo and the others away, Lin Yun stopped at the entrance of the ruins.
"Sir Mafa, this is our Secret Monastery's talisman. If you have time, you must come to our Secret Monastery as a guest."
Laibo gave Lin Yun a token of the Secret Monastery before hurriedly leaving. His strength had sharply fallen and he was leading a few of the most talented people of the Secret Monastery. It would be a huge loss if an accident happened. They had experienced so many dangers without dying, it would be too unjust if they died because of a small danger.
The Secret Monastery's people hurriedly left, but Lin Yun stayed outside the ruins and started organizing his harvest. More importantly, he had just advanced to the Heaven Rank and needed to stabilize his foundation.
After opening the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun instantly disappeared.
The Natural Demiplane had undergone earth-shattering changes because of Lin Yun's breakthrough. The space had become even more stable and the Demiplane's range had doubled. The earth had become thicker and the sky had become higher.
In the sky, the God Fire Ember had transformed into a sun that looked even more like a scorching sun. The light illuminated the entire Demiplane and the species of vegetation had increased a few times. Even the lifeforms born had evolved from the smallest insects to some relatively large insects. There were even some butterflies, bees, and other flying insects fluttering in the forest.
At the edge of the Demiplane, thick Mana Vines formed an emerald green wall that rose from the ground and extended into the void outside the Demiplane, continuously tearing mana from the void to replenish the Natural Demiplane.
A layer of mist slid down from the sky and converged into the mana lake below the Mana Vines, making that pure mana lake grow bigger and bigger.
The Natural Demiplane's slow growth already required far less mana than the Mana Vines tearing down from the void. And the mana within the mana lake was almost enough for the Natural Demiplane to complete a rapid transformation.
Lin Yun floated in the air and closed his eyes to sense the Natural Demiplane. His control over the Natural Demiplane had once again increased. If this continued, it wouldn't take long for him to thoroughly control the entire Natural Demiplane.
He extended his hand and Extraordinary Power transformed into a four-colored radiance that appeared on Lin Yun's hand. After calmly sensing it for a while, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes.
At the end of the day, Extraordinary Power was the Power of Laws, but it was the Power of Laws that belonged to the mage themselves. Unlike mana, Extraordinary Power completely relied on the comprehension of Laws, and the more one comprehended, the corresponding Extraordinary Power would be obtained.
That was a power that transcended mortals and wasn't something mortals could control. But Lin Yun felt that controlling Extraordinary Power was like an instinct. He naturally understood how to use Extraordinary Power the moment he walked out of the Gate of Rebirth.
