It was hardly an exaggeration to say that Constance had a mind that surpassed all intelligent lifeforms. Even those God-like mages at the peak of the Magic Era, those proud and arrogant mages who had researched countless innovations didn't dare to say that they were smarter than Constance.
That was the source of all wisdom.
"The end of the Wailing River … The end of the Wailing River …" Lin Yun's frown gradually relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He finally knew what was hidden at the end of the Wailing River.
Normally, after Ancient God Constance fell in the Wailing River, his corpse would inevitably be washed to the end. Then …
What truly made Lin Yun pleasantly surprised was Constance's skull. That skull could make countless mages go crazy. Even those God-like mages at the peak of the Magic Era yearned for that skull that represented the source of wisdom.
The legend regarding that skull had been popular for several hundred years in that era. In order to find that skull, countless mages threw themselves into the endless planes in an attempt to find the place where Constance fell. But unfortunately, no one found that skull. At that time, a mage surpassing the Heaven Rank once asserted that whoever obtained that skull would be able to recreate the Ancient God Civilization.
'If it really is Constance's skull …' Lin Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes. That was something every mage yearned for. If he could obtain it, the benefits would be self-evident. At the very least, his current problem would be perfectly solved.
Any mage that obtained Constance's skull would inevitably choose to fuse with it, and Lin Yun was no exception. Because that way, not only would his capacity increase, but his intelligence would also reach a terrifying level. Perhaps it would truly be as that mage said, he would be able to recreate the Ancient God Civilization.
Increasing his capacity was something Lin Yun urgently needed.
After all, he had three Meditation Law Sets, and attacking the Archmage realm was met with a lot of resistance. He had no choice but to carefully control his own rank. If he couldn't control it again, his magic path would be greatly affected.
He was currently a Peak 6th Rank High Mage, so his situation wasn't too bad. But if he advanced to the 7th or 8th Rank, the fusion of a Meditation Law Set and a Magic Conducting Rune would become very difficult.
If his capacity increased, he wouldn't have to worry about that. Even if he directly advanced to the 9th Rank and chose to fuse with it, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
The fusion between a human and an Ancient God's skeleton had already been proven to be feasible during the peak of the Magic Era. To be more precise, the first person to do it was a Sword Saint called Grinch.
To be honest, Grinch wasn't very talented and he didn't have any background. When he was still a Great Swordsman, he joined a mercenary group and worked hard to make contributions. Finally, he was rewarded by the mercenary group and broke through to Sword Saint. In that era, Sword Saints were everywhere, and Grinch had always been a nobody.
But, in Grinch's later years, he led a team to carry out a mission in a certain plane. After returning to Noscent, Grinch announced his withdrawal from the mercenary group. The higher-ups of the mercenary group didn't find it strange when they heard this news. They thought that Grinch was preparing to spend his remaining years in peace.
Ten years later, that mercenary group, which could only be considered a medium strength in Noscent, suddenly suffered the retaliation of a hostile force. On that bloody night, most of the elites of the mercenary group were annihilated, and even that peak 9th Rank Sword Saint's leader was seriously injured.
Nothing could be done about it, there was a Heaven Rank Sword Saint among their enemies.
Just as everyone was about to despair, a silver sword-light suddenly streaked through the sky.
Then …
There was no then …
Everyone, including that leader, saw an unforgettable scene. That Heaven Rank Sword Saint didn't even have a chance to resist before he was cut down by that sword-light and died.
The master of that silver sword-light was Grinch, who had been silent for ten years. Ten years later, he was already standing at the peak of the 9th Rank of the Sword Saint realm and had the power to defeat a Heaven Rank Sword Saint. But the strange thing was, when did Grinch become left-handed?
Ever since that night, Grinch's rise was inexplicable. His name and accomplishments spread among countless people. Twenty years later, Grinch brazenly stepped into the Heaven Rank, and in the next two hundred years, he challenged one Heaven Rank powerhouse after another, maintaining an undefeated record. He shuttled back and forth between major planes, but ultimately stopped at the peak of the Heaven Rank.
Grinch's rise had always been a mystery. It wasn't until Grinch returned to Noscent that he revealed the secret of his rise. It turned out that over two hundred years ago, while carrying out a mission, he obtained the hand bone of an Ancient God. In those ten years of silence, he completed the fusion of the Ancient God's hand bone.
After learning of this, Noscent's people frantically searched Noscent and the countless planes in an attempt to find the bones left behind by the Ancient God. Especially those mages, they disregarded everything to look for information on Sage Constance.
Although Lin Yun wasn't completely sure of the identity of the Ancient God that fell in the Raging Flame Plane, he felt that it was most likely Constance. Even if it wasn't Constance, it was worth taking the risk. After all, that was the corpse of an Ancient God.
'Let's finish the assembly first …'
Lin Yun put away the pieces of paper with the four pictures recorded on it and carefully put the piece of metal in his pocket. He then picked up the three components on the refining table and started assembling the mechanical system.
Although this work wasn't troublesome, it was time-consuming and required all kinds of tests. Three days passed by the time everything was done.
"Phew …"
The mechanical system was once again installed on the Heaven Puppet and then connected to the mana circuit. In an instant, the Heaven Puppet's body was covered in a layer of silver radiance.
Then, Lin Yun evaluated the strength of the Heaven Puppet and was pleasantly surprised by the results.
The power of the spells released by the Heaven Puppet was comparable to that of a 7th Rank Archmage. This meant that after repairing the mechanical system, the Heaven Puppet's strength would reach a whole new level.
Even a true 7th Rank Archmage would have a hard time defeating the Heaven Puppet.
There might not be many puppets with such frightening power in Noscent, but Lin Yun clearly knew that this puppet's strength was far from limited to this. Once it advanced to the Archmage realm and completed its trip to the Puppet Plane, the Heaven Puppet's strength would reach the Heaven Rank. It would be able to easily deal with anyone below the Heaven Rank.
If Lin Yun became a Saint Alchemist in the future, this Heaven Puppet would definitely recover to the Heaven Rank.
Naturally, this was still a bit far off for Lin Yun for the time being.
After testing the Heaven Puppet's strength, Lin Yun gave the Doom Staff to the Heaven Puppet and had it patrol the surroundings of the camp while setting up a series of defensive and counterattack systems.
Then, Lin Yun once again took out the four sheets of paper with the four scenes recorded on it, as well as the metal plate, and continued studying it.
…
Arthus, who had been waiting near the Merlin Family's camp for close to ten days, finally relaxed. According to his observations, there was no trace of a Frost Dragon in the Merlin Family's camp.
He no longer had any misgivings.
That terrifying Frost Dragon might really be just passing by.
"Hmpf, I don't believe that a Frost Dragon would pass by this time …" A sinister sneer appeared at the corner of Arthus' mouth. He walked out of a hidden corner and looked at the Merlin Family's camp, a demonic aura quietly emitting from his body. In a flash, Arthus no longer looked human, but rather a fierce Demon.
"Roar …"
After letting out a deep roar, Arthus swept up a thick sulfuric aura as he rushed into the Merlin Family's camp. His tyrannical power burst out, causing the earth under his feet to shake.
Then, he suddenly stopped.
Because there was someone in front of him.
"Hmm?"
The person in front of him gave Arthus a very strange feeling. There were no magical fluctuations coming from his body, and he was holding an extremely gorgeous staff in his hand. At the top of the staff was a Dragon's head, and the body of the staff was covered in dense scales.
Arthus stared at that staff for no less than ten seconds. Even if he was a Sword Saint, he could still see the value of that staff. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Take me to your commander, it's that Mafa Merlin guy. I won't kill you …"
But the person in front of him remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard him.
"I said, quickly take me to Mafa Merlin …" Anger could be heard in Arthus' voice. After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't control his anger and pounced towards the person in front of him with a roar.
"Rumble!"
Then, a dense wave of spells flew towards Arthus like a tide. Although each of them was only around the power of a 3rd or 4th Tier Spell, several dozen Spell Rays overlapped, and they weren't weaker than any 7th Tier Spell. Arthus, who was still in his Demonic Shape, was clearly stunned.
And in this moment of daze, he missed the best opportunity to dodge, and was instantly brushed by a superimposed spell ray. In an instant, he let out a hysterical howl, and a fist-sized bloody hole appeared on his chest, from which blood kept gushing out.
Arthus had been gravely injured in just one move.
Then, one Spell Ray after another flew towards Arthus. After he barely dodged a few waves of Spell Rays, he heard a young Dragon Roar as a multicolored Dragon Breath enveloped him. Caught off guard, Arthus was brushed by the Dragon Breath and instantly flew a few dozen meters away.
