As for Lin Yun, he took advantage of the Four Elemental Laws simultaneously manifesting and gathering together to calm the chaos of the Demiplane. He observed the changes of the four elements, the evolution of the Laws, and the fusion and changes of the Four Elemental Laws.
Slowly, the Demiplane returned to normal, but apart from the center, the edges of the land had become desolate.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and slowly comprehended those changes. The surging of the four elements, the fusion and evolution of the Four Elemental Laws …
After opening his eyes, Lin Yun once again controlled the Demiplane's four elements and unhesitantly collapsed the Demiplane's stabilized Four Elemental Laws.
After repeating this a dozen times, Lin Yun stopped.
This kind of method that put a Natural Demiplane at risk of collapsing really made the Four Elemental Laws directly appear. Moreover, as Lin Yun's connection with the Demiplane grew deeper and deeper, those changes directly appeared in his mind.
His comprehension of the Four Elemental Laws sharply increased, but the price was that the Demiplane's several hundred kilometers of land had shrunk. Moreover, apart from the center, everything within a hundred kilometers had become desolate. The plants and ore veins that originally grew there had been completely destroyed. It was no different from a newly born Demiplane.
After leaving the Demiplane, Lin Yun started thinking about how to increase his rank.
He already had enough comprehension of the Four Elemental Laws, but to advance to the 7th Rank of the Archmage realm, he had to fuse two kinds of Foundation Laws together and open the path of fusing Laws.
After fusing the four kinds of Laws, he would have the opportunity to advance to the Heaven Rank.
Fusing two of the Four Elemental Laws wasn't something that could be done through comprehension. He had to put it into practice, or perhaps have an opportunity.
Just as Lin Yun was comprehending the Four Elemental Laws in the Demiplane, some indescribable changes were happening in the Four Seasons Plain.
Not far from the Grey Beastmen's fort, the space would fluctuate from time to time, and puppets with a strong primitive aura would appear out of nowhere.
These puppets with all kinds of crystal eyes would unconsciously roam the ground, and some would even move in the direction of the Grey Beastmen's fort.
The scattered puppets had just appeared when they were dismantled by the patrolling puppets outside the fort.
Otherwise, it would be discovered by the patrolling army mages and mercilessly destroyed.
No one cared about these things, because some puppets would frequently appear in the Grey Beastmen's fort. There were no magic beasts here, as they had already been killed. The only danger was those puppets.
Thus, no one cared about these scattered Sword Daos and some low-level puppets. After those puppets were dismantled, their components were taken away by others.
This kind of wild puppet was also one of the main ways for the Grey Beastmen to obtain puppet components. Even some of the designs on those puppets might give them inspiration.
Almost every Grey Beastman in the Grey Beastmen's fort had their own puppet, but the puppet's components weren't worthless. Some of the main components were the systems.
Mana reactors, weapon systems, control systems … These were all very expensive, and not all Grey Beastmen could find precious materials to personally craft them.
Thus, these wild puppets were an important source of resources for the Grey Beastmen.
No one paid attention to the appearance of these puppets. After Lin Yun came out, he didn't receive any reports.
And no one knew that the frequency of spatial fluctuations in the wilderness outside the fort was becoming higher and higher. Every time, it wasn't just one puppet, but two or three.
In some places, four or five puppets appeared at once. The puppets that appeared also changed from rusty Level 10 puppets to Level 20, and even Level 24 or 25 puppets. There was clearly less rust on these puppets' bodies, and their weapon systems were a bit stronger.
Over the next five days, more and more puppets appeared outside the Grey Beastmen's fort. Everyone hunted more and more puppets, but they still didn't attract anyone's attention.
Up until one night, over a thousand puppets transformed into a tide that charged towards the Grey Beastmen's fort.
The automatic weapons installed on the fort's walls were frequently activated during the night.
Huge fireballs exploded outside the city, and rays of light transformed into a continuous rain of fire that scattered outside the city.
When the battle started, everyone woke up with a start.
The defensive metal plates on the city walls shone one after the other, and the huge puppet army patrolling the city walls immediately joined the battle.
The city gates opened, and several hundred sword puppets transformed into a metal tide that slaughtered their way into the puppets outside the city.
In one charge, those puppets were dismantled into a pile of components.
The battle ended in less than three minutes, and all the puppets that had come to attack the Grey Beastmen's fort had been dismantled and brought back.
After the battle was over, Lin Yun rushed to the city gates and frowned as he looked at the parts the puppet army was transporting.
These parts were simply a mess. There were all kinds of parts, some were brand new, and some were covered in rust.
There was also a completely intact humanoid puppet. Lin Yun recognized with a glance that this was a puppet from the Puppet Plane.
Only the Puppet Plane's puppets would have such a rusty appearance. Every puppet's parts were haphazardly pieced together, and some parts simply weren't suitable.
This was a typical characteristic of the Puppet Plane's Low Level Puppets.
'There's a problem with the Puppet Plane's Planar Path!'
This thought flashed in Lin Yun's mind.
At this time, Lin Yun could no longer sit still. He had people look for the Puppet Plane's Planar Path, but there had been no results. Even if they knew that the Planar Path was in the vicinity of the Grey Beastmen's fort, they couldn't find it.
The Four Seasons Plain wasn't small, and without a definite destination, finding a Planar Path was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, an uncontrolled Planar Path of a High Level Plane like the Puppet Plane, even if it wasn't open, the range of its radiation would be very large. It might be several dozen kilometers.
In other words, the puppets that were smuggled through the Planar Path might appear several dozen kilometers away from the Planar Path.
The sudden appearance of a large number of puppets wasn't normal. The Planar Path of the Puppet Plane might already be expanding.
If the Planar Path kept expanding and truly opened …
The Raging Flame Plane would be completely occupied by the Puppet Plane's puppets, and there would be no suspense at all!
As long as a high-level Heaven Rank Puppet arrived, the Raging Flame Plane's fall would only be a matter of time.
Lin Yun summoned Dunas.
"Sir Merlin, you want to ask about those alchemy puppets, right?"
Dunas seemed to already know what Lin Yun planned to ask.
"Do you know about the Puppet Plane? Do you have any clues about the specific location of the Planar Path? "
Dunas shook his head.
"Sir Merlin, you don't need to worry. It's very normal for a large number of puppets to suddenly attack a fort. Every ten years, there would be a puppet tide, and the number of puppets appearing on the Rank 4 Plains would suddenly increase.
"Once the number of puppets reached a certain amount, they would attack the fort.
"And every hundred years, there would be a puppet tide. Our fort being attacked is to be expected.
"But there's no need to worry, these puppets can't attack our fort. We have fought against these puppets countless times over the past hundreds of years.
"As long as we prepare ahead of time, the puppet tide will be our time to reap a bountiful harvest. The components of those puppets are a huge fortune, and there might be some very special puppets with new and unique components among them.
"Some of Sir Crowits' designs were inspired by these puppets.
"This year just happens to be the hundredth year, so a puppet tide is to be expected. Rest assured, Sir Merlin, our defenses won't be breached by these puppets. On the contrary, it will be a once-in-a-century harvest …"
Dunas was full of confidence, his eyes shining like a golden mountain. He seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Sir Merlin, that … Can you allow the fort's Grey Beastmen to hunt? You know that this is a rare opportunity … "
Lin Yun casually nodded, but he wasn't as optimistic as Dunas.
"Do you have any clues regarding the Puppet Plane's Planar Path?"
Dunas had an awkward expression and bitterly smiled as he shook his head.
"Sir Merlin, I really don't know. Our Grey Beastmen simply don't know what that Planar Path is, nor do we know where that Planar Path is.
"Our ancestors passed down an alchemy array, and when paired with the fort's large-scale mana reactor, as well as a few hundred puppets, we can tear through space and summon some puppets from unknown spaces.
"The more power we provide, the more powerful the summoned puppets will be, and the number isn't certain. It's not something we can control.
"For thousands of years, whenever we met a powerful enemy, we would summon some puppets to help us fight. After the battle, these puppets would disappear.
"Ah, right, Sir Merlin, if you want any clues, Sir Crowits definitely knows more than me …"
Lin Yun frowned and waved his hand, making Dunas leave.
"Sir Merlin, about hunting puppets, you see …"
"Go, don't leave the fort's protection."
Lin Yun casually agreed to this matter, and Dunas left with a cheerful expression. He then started organizing the Grey Beastmen's centennial harvest.
Although Dunas spoke in a relaxed manner, the more Lin Yun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
These thick-minded Grey Beastmen didn't feel anything was wrong because they didn't know how frightening the Puppet Plane was.
Even a Peak Heaven Rank powerhouse like Idu would go to the Puppet Plane's Planar Path, and they would need to make thorough preparations in the Raging Flame Plane before entering the Puppet Plane.
As a High Rank Plane, the dangers of the Puppet Plane weren't inferior to the Undead Plane.
