Chapter 353 Zuo Cikui's Defeat
Chapter 353 Zuo Cikui's Failure
The two powerful true gods, Ling Zun and Lord of the Curtain.
In terms of authority, there are obvious similarities.
Therefore, the abilities possessed by the two sequences of "Master of Bait-eating" and "Puppet Master of Ancient and Modern Times" are obviously of the same path.
There is no need to look into it in detail, you can tell at a glance that it is all shameless and obscene.
It’s just that Lord Shibai is at Sequence 4, and there are several more sequences to come.
The only puppet master left after the ancient and modern times is the God of Play of the Universe.
So overall, the puppet master is stronger.
After all, if Li Yu, the True Lord, wants to fish successfully, he must first spend a lot of time and effort to place the bait, and then he must carefully implant the bait thread. Even if he succeeds, he still cannot reach the level of "ancient and modern puppet masters" and cannot directly obtain such great benefits.
As for the abilities of puppet masters of ancient and modern times?
Although it was a secret known only to the descendants of the Lord of the Curtain, Li Yu knew something about it. He had discovered it through the power given to him by Zuo Ci and the skin of an idle man.
With his evil habit of snooping, he would seize any opportunity to spy on all secrets.
"Puppet masters of the past and present can use 'narrative power' to influence the lives of their puppet characters."
"Control is just the most basic thing."
"What's really perverted is that the puppet's lifetime achievements will be fed back to the puppet master."
“For example, if my talent and aptitude were to be refined by Zuo Ci Kui, if I were to become a god in the future, then Zuo Ci Kui would also become a god and would always be superior to me.”
"It's really shameless. It's simply a top-level parasite pathway."
"But the ability of this 'Hanged King's Chosen Gongsun Qi' is equally abnormal. He ignored all obstacles and hanged my soul to death. If I were not the soul of truth, I would have been completely caught."
"Unfortunately, no matter how perverted he was, he still fell into Zuo Ci's trap."
"Ok?"
“Speaking of which, if I take this opportunity to control Zuo Ci puppet, wouldn’t it be equivalent to gaining three great aids at once?”
"This kind of harvest... makes a fortune."
These thoughts, of course, came from Li Yu, who seemed unable to resist any longer and was between life and death.
Yes, he is showing off his acting skills.
Although Li Yu has now successfully hooked Zuo Ci on his own fishing hook, he can easily injure him severely and then run away.
If you are a little ruthless, it won't be difficult to kill Zuo Ci.
But this loses the true meaning of "bait".
Using himself as bait to lure in Zuo Ci's puppet is one level. Then using Zuo Ci's puppet as bait to lure in the City Lord's Mansion and even the authority of the Lord of the Curtain can show Li Yu's true ability as a bait-eating True Lord, which is also a serious practice.
To achieve this!
The prerequisite is: let Zuo Ci puppet think he has succeeded, and then release him.
This was originally very difficult to do, and it might even backfire. After all, if you "actively" give up resistance in order to gain trust and become a fish on the chopping board, it is not impossible that you will end up with an unexpected failure.
But now, it's different.
The first level of protection was naturally taken by Li Yu.
Zuo Ci failed to make Li Yu into a puppet, but he was hooked by Li Yu first.
His flesh, blood, heart and soul were all filled with bait.
In fact, his behavior, thoughts, and all his actions could not be hidden from Li Yu and would be influenced and controlled by Li Yu.
The second level of protection!
In other words, absolute guarantee.
Nature is the soul of truth.
"So far, truth is invincible in the matter of 'judgment by authority'."
“Wanbian, Chan Shen, Haotian, Wu Shen, Buddha… even Ling Zun, no matter who comes, it will be useless.”
"The Lord of the Curtain is on the same level as Wanbian and Lingzun, and is a divine entity on the same path, so it is natural that this is the case."
"The same goes for the Hanged King who is now hanging me."
Li Yu was ignoring the strange power of the Hanged King and thinking quietly.
This question, under Gongsun Qi's careful manipulation, penetrated into Li Yu's soul, which was so-called "between life and death".
But he was asking him whether he wanted to let go of his soul and surrender, and promised to invest a lot of resources to help him become a god.
If he is unwilling, then break his heart and soul and refine it by force.
"Brother Zuo is really a good person!"
"From now on, he will be my best friend in the City Lord's Mansion. What's his is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
"He will trust me immensely. He will answer all my questions without asking for anything in return. He will even give me whatever I ask for in order to help me ascend to godhood."
"I think that's the highest level of a fisherman."
Accompanied by these hidden thoughts that no god can see.
Li Yu responded quickly: in the ten-thousandth of a second when Gongsun Qi let go of his control, he chose to give in and agree.
Afterwards, the disguised soul was revealed in front of Zuo Ci.
Although I wanted to spy and check it out.
But Zuo Ci knew that the opportunity was rare and was afraid of complications.
Overjoyed, he immediately began to make the "Destiny Puppet".
Of course, he just thought he had accomplished it.
The process seemed to be going smoothly, but it was just an illusion that Li Yu had implanted in his mind.
There is no need to go through a lot of effort in disguise simulation, all you need to do is make him mistakenly believe that he has succeeded in the last step.
In fact, even if Li Yu really didn't resist, he wouldn't be able to succeed.
Here we are!
Li Yu also had a guess:
"The Soul of Truth does not just lock away the last bit of sanity, but completely exempts it from all contamination that would cause it to lose its sanity and fall into ignorance."
"In other words, the truth never gets tarnished."
"This naturally includes being refined into a puppet."
……
"It's done!"
“Hahahaha…my Path is complete.”
Zuo Cikui's excited laughter suddenly rang out in the closed carriage.
Immediately, he acted quickly and restored everything that had happened in this space and time.
"Thanks to this Cosmic Demon Compass, I originally had more than 90% confidence in completely erasing the traces. With the time-space retracing power of this treasure, it will be 100%."
"Even someone as powerful as the Lord of All Changes cannot detect the changes in this boy's soul."
"Come to think of it, it's your chance now."
"Although you have outstanding talents and aptitude, you are still born with deficiencies. You are a human cultivator."
"The Lord of Change is the true god of the Chaos World. In that multiverse, the human race is discriminated against. With the same qualifications, if you pursue the same position of a subordinate god, you simply cannot compete with Joseph."
"But with my help in the future, that may not be the case."
"There will be a place for you in the Kingdom of the Myriad Changes."
"And on the stage and chessboard that I control, there is also an extra puppet character of destiny."
"Happy, happy!"
Laughing joyfully, Zuo Cikui was afraid that there would be even the slightest ripple in time and space, so he left as quickly as possible.
As soon as he left!
It was as if time had gone back and the plot line returned to the place where no error had occurred.
In this setting, Li Yu did not find anything wrong, nor did he have the slightest desire to get rid of his "idle skin", and he had unlimited trust in Zuo Ci.
This seems to be a small personal addition by Zuo Cikui!
In fact, it was Li Yu who secretly persuaded and influenced him to add it.
Because Li Yu needed a reason so that he could get benefits from Zuo Cigui openly and without being suspected from the moment he woke up.
For example, secrets. He didn't dare to ask too much before, so as not to arouse suspicion.
And now, he is unscrupulous.
So, the next moment, Li Yu woke up from his trance.
Very naturally, he contacted Zuo Ci Kui through the "Evil God's Intelligent Brain" as soon as possible and passed on a topic.
It was precisely because of what Li Yu did on the magic boat that he asked whether it would cause trouble to the three tribes on the magic boat and produce adverse effects.
Over there, Zuo Cikui responded with a smile and a hint of arrogance:
"Brother Li, don't worry."
"Although the three tribes of the Demon Boat have the support of three star gods, even if the three gods are tied together, they are no match for our great master, the Lord of the Curtain, let alone the entire Wanfu City."
"My main goal is to unite all the 'non-righteous gods', so I also pulled the ancient magic boat onto the chariot."
"Those three gods were quite good in ancient times, but now they have fallen."
"When the time comes, they and their bloodline relatives may be used as cannon fodder."
Hearing these answers, Li Yu looked happy.
Of course, it was not because he had no worries, but because his plan was completely successful.
Zuo Ci puppet!
This was the third big fish on his hook.
Plump and obedient.
If Li Yu had asked the same question in the past, he would never have gotten such a straightforward answer.
To some extent, Zuo Ci already regarded Li Yu as "one of his own".
His cognition was completely distorted.
He regarded Li Yu as his destined puppet. The better Li Yu was, the better he was.
Therefore, he will not have any reservations towards Li Yu and will do his best to help him become a god.
If it weren’t for Zuo Ci puppet itself, it would be too far away from the level of “divine entity”.
Then, the position of the number one on the list will definitely be replaced.
As if to verify this point, Li Yu suddenly spoke again and asked very presumptuously:
"Brother Zuo!"
"The sequence you are practicing is really interesting."
"I wonder if you could tell me some secret medicine formulas, or some magical skills or something?"
In the extraordinary world, there is no question more abrupt and shameless than this one.
The secret medicine formula and sequence magical powers are absolutely private!
This question usually means that a life-and-death battle is about to begin.
But after hearing this, Zuo Cikui did not feel angry at all, nor did he realize that something was wrong. He just thought to himself:
"In addition to fooling others and plotting, practitioners of the Myriad Paths often practice by spying on secrets and collecting hidden knowledge. This boy has outstanding talents and great ambitions."
"That's right. Helping him is helping me."
"Perhaps I can become a god even faster than my master."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zuo Cikui responded immediately:
"I cannot tell you about the sequence of magical powers and secret techniques."
"I can let you know some of the secret medicine formula, but you can't tell me too much, otherwise it will violate the taboos and be known by the great Lord. Even Wan Bian himself will not be able to save your life..."
In just a few words, he actually revealed to Li Yu some of the secret medicine formulas of ancient and modern puppet masters.
This scene!
If the people in the City Lord's Mansion saw this, they would be shocked.
How can this be?
It should be noted that practitioners of the Lord of the Veil path are very special.
Even if it fell into the hands of a divine entity, as long as Zuo Ci Kui was unwilling to reveal the secret, even if the God of Torture came to torture him, he would not be able to know even a little bit of the formula.
It is a miracle that Li Yu was able to succeed.
can only say!
When two "cheaters" meet, whoever gets the upper hand first will lose everything.
Here, Li Yu occupies several levels.
From the moment Zuo Cikui took the initiative to find Li Yu, he was defeated.
Zuo Cigui had no chance of making a comeback and could be said to have been completely defeated.
Li Yu was also a greedy person. Asking just one question was not enough, and he took the opportunity to throw a lot of questions at him.
Zuo Cikui played the role of a "best friend" and answered every question, not caring about the secrets that were not meant to be known to outsiders:
"Although our City Lord's Mansion is not a single-line inheritance, the number of people is indeed small."
"But controlling Wanfu City is more than enough. After all, a ninth-rate idler can be used as more than a dozen people, and an ancient and modern puppet master means at least several sequence four-level practitioners, not to mention my puppet masters who have already reached the perfect realm. They even have sequence three-level puppets."
"As for the [Palace Lord], it is even more impossible to guess. I only know that he has a demigod or even a weak god as a puppet."
……
"The role controlled by my Lord?"
"That goes without saying, they are all gods."
"The teachers also said implicitly that my Lord should be controlling more than one powerful divine entity as a puppet."
"There is no need to say much about the 'history' of the present world and Wanfu City. My Lord is both a participant and a creator."
"In the boundless spiritual world, countless major events and tragic wars in the multiverse... are also controlled by my Lord."
"The more shocking, exciting, and dramatic it is, the more likely it is arranged by our Lord."
"For example, a major event that occurred in the [Chaos World] directly led to the fall of many Star Gods and the birth of the Mechanical Dead."
"That's what my Lord did!"
……
"This maiden voyage of Pioneer is just the beginning of the event, just a small attempt."
"Now we know the result: the True God camp is still afraid and dare not overturn the table. Then the backup plan will follow."
"Soon, Wanfu City will host the first [Infinite Spirit Realm Martial Arts Competition]."
"We will invite all the young warriors in the entire Infinite Spirit Realm to come to Wanfu City and fight."
"The winner will receive various generous rewards."
……
Listening to these secrets and inside stories, Li Yu couldn't help but be surprised and smile.
Although these secrets do not seem to be something that Li Yu, a "casual cultivator", should know.
Being weak but knowing a lot, isn't that a way to death?
But Li Yu didn't care at all and just felt satisfied.
And it is at this moment!
Suddenly, Zuo Cikui, who was speaking, stopped abruptly, as if something unexpected had happened?
Li Yu was about to ask when a familiar voice, which seemed to have been there for a long time but was actually not that long, rang in his mind. It was cold and weird.
"Evil Star, listen to my orders!"
"The new expedition mission has been matched successfully!"
"It will be officially launched in twelve hours. Please prepare in advance, Lord of the Star of Misfortune. The basic information of this mission is as follows... We will officially enter the [Chaos Universe] in the Boundless Spirit World to carry out the conquest..."
"You can't refuse the call!"
"Can't refuse a mission!"
……
When that few words of mission information came.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then an extremely incredible guess flashed through his mind.
