After a few minutes, he was certain that Anderfa had given him a complete transformation plan.
Lin Yun then sank into contemplation.
He needed time.
At the peak of the Magic Era, after those alchemists obtained the incomplete transformation plan, they researched a method to make up for the flaws of the transformation plan and prevent the puppet from going out of control.
Although he had already memorized this method by heart, he still needed more time …
After all, no one had tried it before.
What he needed to do was to use the method he knew and fuse it with the transformation plan. This process itself needed precise calculations, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Thus, all kinds of data were once again written on the paper.
Suddenly, a rustling sound could be heard.
After over three hours, through careful calculations, Lin Yun had already completed that complicated task and was now ready to start.
But now clearly wasn't the time, because it was already dawn.
He put down the quill in his hand and stretched his aching wrist. After a few minutes, he put away the paper on the ground. Lin Yun then met up with the others. After discussing it, the group planned to travel through the forest.
Everyone was on high alert as they walked through this huge forest that had been magnified a hundred times. Fortunately, there was no danger on the way, and the group quickly found an open space to rest and reorganize.
In the dusky night, Lin Yun used the light emitted by a Light spell to once again study the Hydra Heart. In fact, during the day, Lin Yun had been thinking about the steps needed to transform the Heaven Puppet. Those details were very difficult and very troublesome to implement.
But what truly troubled Lin Yun was how to maintain the activity of the Hydra Heart.
In fact, the Hydra Heart contained all the power of the Hydra. Even if it was separated from the body of the Hydra, the signs of life wouldn't immediately disappear. It would take at least half a month for the heart to stop beating.
And after the Hydra Heart was implanted in the Heaven Puppet, it would be useless if it stopped beating.
Thus, no matter what, Lin Yun had to solve this thorny problem.
This was the key to the success of the transformation.
Fortunately, he was already an Artisan and the alchemy he grasped had undergone a qualitative change. He needed to use many Artisan techniques to maintain the activity of the Hydra Heart.
It didn't take long for Lin Yun to start writing one rune after another with the crystal pen dipped in ink. Those runes were profound and difficult to understand, it was alchemy knowledge that only Artisans could come into contact with.
After over an hour, the outline of an array could be seen.
Naturally, this wasn't an ordinary array.
Rather, it was an array that surpassed the True Spirit realm and reached the Artisan realm!
Even Lin Yun found it very strenuous to arrange an array of this level.
After finishing the arrangement, he repeatedly tested it and confirmed that there were no problems with the array. It took over five hours before Lin Yun cut off the Heaven Puppet's mana circuit and started the implantation.
The Hydra's heart, which had been processed, was emitting a dark purple light. It was still beating, giving off the feeling that it was alive.
In fact, the numerous patterns on the Hydra Heart would emit a purple light and flicker with every throbbing. This was the power of the Artisan realm, it could maintain the activity of the Hydra Heart for a long time.
Then, Lin Yun used Pikeman's research to implant the Hydra Heart into the Heaven Puppet. This complicated work took a few hours to complete, but it was far from over. The Heaven Puppet needed some time to slowly adapt to the Hydra Heart. This could be considered a kind of breaking in.
During this time, Lin Yun kept improving it until the Hydra Heart perfectly fused with the Heaven Puppet.
This wasn't something that could be done in a short time.
A few days quickly passed. The team formed by the three major forces would travel through the forest during the day, and for safety's sake, they would rest and reorganize at night. They wouldn't keep moving forward. Lin Yun had been busy with the Heaven Puppet for the past few days.
After the battle with the Hydra, most of the people in the team looked at Lin Yun with strange expressions. Lin Yun naturally knew that it was because of the battle at the bottom of the lake.
At that time, when he saw the Hydra preparing to explode its head and use Eternal Frost, Lin Yun realized that the situation was far from reassuring. He unhesitantly rushed over and used a Meteor Field to create boundless gravity, delaying the Hydra's casting of Eternal Frost. But after using the Meteor Field, even he himself was affected by the gravity and fell to the bottom of the lake along with the Hydra.
At the bottom of the lake, Lin Yun saw a shocking scene. The Hydra's head exploded and a boundless terrifying aura spread. The Eternal Frost produced a freezing aura that froze the entire area.
But Lin Yun, who was already prepared, avoided the fate of being frozen. He soon discovered that the Hydra's vitality had been greatly injured after exploding its head, and its strength was less than half of what it had been before. After using Eternal Frost, it didn't continue attacking and instead fled in a certain direction.
Lin Yun naturally chased after it, and it took him close to ten minutes to thoroughly deal with the Hydra. After taking out the Hydra Heart, Lin Yun originally wanted to leave, but he inadvertently saw a huge stone slab at the entrance of the Hydra Nest. The patterns carved on it attracted his attention.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that those patterns seemed to be a map. The map depicted a boundless starry sky, and in the starry sky, a huge corpse quietly lay there.
Lin Yun was immediately stunned. He suddenly realized that what was carved on the stone slab was definitely a big secret. That corpse was very likely to belong to an Ancient God, or else it wouldn't be so huge.
Sure enough …
After a few minutes, Lin Yun found a row of imperceptible words at the bottom of the stone slab. Those were the words of an Ancient God, and they contained a mysterious power. But unfortunately, Lin Yun could only barely decipher a small part of the words. It vaguely mentioned Sorrentino, Yashan, and the Land of Eternal Rest …
Sorrentino …
Lin Yun wasn't unfamiliar with this. He knew that this was a mountain range located in the Odin Kingdom. It was a paradise for mercenaries, and a large number of mercenaries were often active in the Sorrentino Mountain Range, hunting magic beasts, gathering magic materials, and so on …
As for the word Yashan, it made his heart skip a beat. He thought of the Ancient God King Yashan!
If these pieces of information were to be connected …
Wouldn't it mean that the Sorrentino Mountain Range was the Land of Eternal Rest of the Ancient God King Yashan?
Was this real or fake?
At that moment, Lin Yun felt as if he was dreaming, as if it was very unreal.
No …
Then, Lin Yun recalled some doubts. The Sorrentino Mountain Range was located in the Odin Kingdom, and it was a paradise for countless mercenaries. Mercenaries had fought on every inch of its land, but he had never heard of any clues about an Ancient God there. Moreover, who was Yashan?
He was the King of the seventy-two Ancient Gods. Even if he had already died, his body still contained a huge amount of power. The Ancient God's soul fragment in Lin Yun's Demiplane, for example, made the desolate Demiplane brimming with vitality in a short half a year, and its growth speed increased by a hundred times!
The body of an Ancient God King would definitely be even more frightening.
But there was nothing special about the Sorrentino Mountain Range. The mana density could only be described as average. Apart from mercenaries, very few people would set foot in that mountain range.
But the stone tablet revealed that the Ancient God King Yashan was buried in the Sorrentino Mountain Range. This made Lin Yun somewhat skeptical, because the Sorrentino Mountain Range was really too ordinary.
'Did I miss some other important information?'
Lin Yun once again looked at that huge stone tablet and attentively stared at the Ancient God Rune below. He clenched his teeth as he deciphered it. After spending an unknown amount of time, he deciphered a few more Ancient God Runes, which mentioned Yashan's scepter, God Bloodline, as well as the key.
All the mages of Noscent were familiar with Yashan's scepter. That was the first Extraordinary Magic Tool born in the world. It was rumored that in the hands of the Ancient God Yashan, it possessed unfathomable power, but its power was still unknown.
In Lin Yun's era, Noscent was gradually heading towards destruction. The existence of the Shelter Tower delayed the world's destruction for over three thousand years. At that time, some people suggested that if Yashan's scepter still existed and combined with the Shelter Tower, Noscent would never be destroyed.
Naturally, no one knew whether that was true or not.
As for the God Bloodline mentioned in those words, it made Lin Yun recall those fifty High Mages. That group of High Mages had been meditating in the Demiplane for a long time and had the aura of an Ancient God within their bodies. It was very likely that they had inherited the Ancient God Bloodline, but it was very thin. In Noscent's history, there were only a few suspected inheritors of the Ancient God Bloodline.
One of them was the widely known Charles the Emperor. That Emperor's life was full of legends and he was the most outstanding disciple of the Dark Sage. In the field of puppeteering, he might not have been inferior to the Dark Sage.
But there were many mysteries surrounding that Emperor.
All kinds of signs pointed to Charles the Emperor's inheritance of the Ancient God Bloodline. This made many people speculate and they frantically searched for information, but they ultimately couldn't confirm it.
Up until now, whether Charles the Emperor had the Ancient God Bloodline was still a mystery. Perhaps even his descendants, the royal family of the 3rd Dynasty, didn't know.
Then, Lin Yun didn't plan to stay any longer. He memorized the map carved on that stone tablet as well as those Ancient God Runes. Maybe one day, when he was powerful enough, he would be able to decipher those Ancient God Runes.
