"Uh! It's cooked!"

Faced with Gu Xi's question, Eve finally said something.

As Gu Xi's Contract Undead, although she was a conventional being, she still understood the meaning behind Gu Xi's words.

It was precisely because of this conventional transformation that her memories and soul were preserved relatively intact.

She remembered some things about this world quite clearly.

"I know what you mean, sir. You want to know how the world became the way it is now, right?"

Gu Xi glanced at his task list and nodded with considerable certainty.

"Actually, this world has been deceived by people."

Eve recalled the situation at the time.

In Eve's time, this world was considered a relatively powerful mega-world, consisting of both Underground World and an above-ground portion.

There are nine towers that rule this world.

Each tower is guarded by a powerful level 19 being.

All the tower factions share a common goal: to annex other factions, push their own faction's leader to level 20, and upgrade the world.

Many battles were fought between the seven towers over this matter.

However, for various reasons, the intensity of the battles was not actually very high.

One reason for this is that the level 19 powerhouses are simply too strong. No one will launch a devastating attack on a certain tower faction before killing a level 19 powerhouse.

Because no one is sure what abilities a level 19 expert can bring out at this time.

It's also impossible for several level 19s to team up and kill a tower.

On the one hand, there are conflicts between the towers, and on the other hand, no one dares to unite, because all the big shots understand that if the first level 19 big shot is killed in this way.

The next one could very well be themselves.

Therefore, a balance is maintained among the level 19 experts.

Let the higher-ups in the Tower faction figure out a solution themselves.

Thus, the battles between towers became battles over various resources or technologies.

Especially in some important research areas, whether it's magic or technology, as soon as a tower makes a breakthrough, a new corresponding technology will be developed immediately.

After a battle, all forces retreated to regroup and re-evaluate their strategies.

Days passed by like this.

One day, one of the seven factions, known as the Dragon Exile Tower, suddenly developed a new technology.

This technology requires the heart of the Titans, the top unit of the Tower faction, as a material to create the Puppet dragon.

This situation was essentially a one-for-one trade of high-tier units.

Normal people would never take this path.

Even the Dragon Exile Tower did not use this technology on a large scale.

Only during major battles can they salvage some Titans corpses from the battlefield to create Puppet dragons.

In the eyes of the high-ranking officers of the Dragon Exile Tower at the time, this was a good way to replenish their own high-ranking troops.

When Titans died, his heart was immediately used to create Puppet dragon.

Others' armies will dwindle with each battle, while theirs will grow stronger, and eventually, the world will surely belong to them.

But no one could have imagined that a Hero with the talent of dragons would appear in this world.

Because this world is mainly dominated by the Tower faction, dragons are either hard to find or are used by the Titans as coming-of-age rites.

The Hero was not given any chance to lead the dragon into battle.

Therefore, this Hero never grew up.

The technology before him gave the Hero hope, and he applied to manage the creation of the Puppet dragon.

This is an opportunity for the Hero, and it should also be a good choice for the Dragon Exile Tower.

Because on the Dragon Exile Tower, no one possesses the talent to enhance dragons like this Hero.

But to the Hero's utter surprise, his application was rejected.

The Puppet dragon was ultimately managed by a direct descendant of a high-ranking member of the Dragon Exile Tower.

His talent was merely the most basic Financial Management, offering no help whatsoever to the dragon.

This made the Hero quite angry.

He stole the technology from the Dragon Exile Tower and fled to the Silverlight Academy's sphere of influence.

Silverlight Academy is the only one of the seven tower factions to have established its presence in the desert.

Because of the extremely harsh environment here, the research focus of the forces here is mainly on how to create troops of the same level using the fewest materials.

After escaping to the Silverlight Academy, the Hero lived in anonymity for a period of time, learning the Silverlight Academy's methods of thrift.

Using the technology from the Dragon Exile Tower, they developed a technique to create three Puppet Dragons from a single Titans's heart.

Having this technology gave the Hero renewed hope, so he reported it to the Silverlight Academy, hoping to get the academy's support.

But the people of the Silverlight Academy told the Hero that although he could split the Titans's Heart into three parts to create three Puppet Dragons.

However, the Puppet Dragon's combat power will also decrease significantly. Only under the leadership of this Hero can the Puppet Dragon possess the true combat power of a giant dragon. Other Hero leading the Puppet Dragon will not have the same effect.

Silverlight Academy would never abandon its Hero for a Hero who has defected to them.

So even if this Hero figured out a method, he wouldn't gain recognition.

Having lost all hope, the Hero had no choice but to leave Silverlight Academy again, wanting to see what other forces were up to.

The problem is that he rebelled twice in a row, and no other tower faction will accept him.

In the end, he could only become a wandering Hero. Fortunately, he had several Puppet Dragon under his command, and no one bothered him along the way.

But this couldn't go on. Most importantly, during his wanderings, he discovered a problem with the Puppet Dragon he created by saving materials.

That means we must replenish our energy supply.

At first, he replenished the Puppet Dragon with mana.

Later, when his mana runs low, he will start draining the Hero's life force.

This left the Hero quite helpless, but he had no choice but to find a solution.

Without these Puppet Dragons, he would be truly doomed.

So the Hero had no choice but to set his sights on the Earth Vein.

He then discovered that when the Puppet Dragon drew upon the power of the Earth Vein, it could actually level up beyond its current level.

This gave him an opportunity.

So the Hero took the Puppet Dragon into the Underground World and extracted some of the power of the mineral veins or Earth Vein to strengthen his Puppet Dragon.

Until one day when the seven major forces clashed again, he suddenly emerged as an independent Hero and joined the battle.

Behind him were three level 19 Puppet Dragon.
