Heavenly Heart Puppet

More than two months of effort.

Finally, the Time Authority Rank was leveled up enough to be upgraded.

Considering the scarcity of sorcerers.

Roger went to great lengths to use the Nullification Blades – a move that was quite risky, since there was a possibility that the Blue Blood King might intercept it after Nullification Blades over.

And after the position is in place.

Even if the progress bar isn't full.

Roger immediately returned the Nullification Blades.

That concludes the discussion.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The completion of the third stage means that he is very close to the realm of immortality.

Next, all you need to do is find suitable Pillar Item and smelt them.

Even.

If necessary.

He could have ascended normally in the third position.

This greatly increases Roger's room for maneuver in terms of realm.

The 0.49 Time Authority Rank not only laid a solid foundation for Roger's ascension.

It also brought him several special skills.

On the data panel.

"Powerful Immobilize (0.01): You can apply an immobilize spell with a positional buff to up to three units. The immobilized units will be unable to move or control their bodies for 30 minutes."

Note: The powerful immobilization spell will automatically dissipate after being attacked.

"Time Turbulence (0.1): You can accelerate the flow of time in a small area to a certain extent."

The area being accelerated must not move more than 100 meters away from you;...

You yourself will not be affected by the torrent of time in any sense.

"Time Passivation (0.2): You can slow down the flow of time in a small area to a certain extent."

The area where the slowdown is applied must not be more than 1 kilometer away from you;

You yourself will not be affected by the dulling effect of time in any sense.

"Gift from the Lord of Time (0.3): Due to your cultivation of the Time Authority Rank, you have received a gift from the Lord of Time, which increases your lifespan by at least 10,000 years."

"Cocoon of Time (0.4): You have obtained 3 'Cocoons of Time'. In any state (including during battle), you can record your current data into the Cocoon of Time;

At any point in time thereafter, or after your death.

You can then return to that point in time.

You will retain some of your memories after that point in time.

But it can't be all of them...

Note: If you read a Time Cocoon after death, it can be read a maximum of 3 times; if you read a Time Cocoon while still alive, it can be read a maximum of 99 times.

Let's take a look at the 5 specialties.

The first four points are only so-so.

The powerful immobilization spell came too late to be of much help to Roger in his current state.

The other two specializations, which allow manipulation of the flow of time, can be used in conjunction with certain methods.

But Roger always felt there wasn't much room for maneuver.

As for the gifts from the Lord of Time.

Lifespan itself could no longer move Roger.

Only the final "Cocoon of Time" brought him great joy.

At the very least.

The value of the Nullification Blades that he painstakingly borrowed from Sophie has been recovered! This is the true meaning of saving and starting over! What if Roger foresees some danger?

This thing can not only revive.

Moreover, there is the possibility of avoiding risks in advance.

The only drawback is that the memories after the Cocoon of Time may not be complete.

This leads to uncertainty about the status after loading the save file.

But at least it gives us another powerful trump card, doesn't it?...

"If I can find the records of the Cocoon of Time and the memories from when it was used, then it's equivalent to a completely lossless save file!"

Roger thought to himself with some excitement.

One more thing! Choose to load the save file if you are not dead.

One save file allows you to play 99 times! That's really fun.

"This thing will come in handy next time I encounter a node that requires save/load (SL)..."

Roger couldn't help but recall the scene when he was trying to get the "Become a God on the Spot" buff during his ascension.

He couldn't help but smile.

The Möbius Ring has run out of uses.

But we still have the Cocoon of Time, right? And that comes with the subsequent upgrades to the Time Authority Rank.

Roger may also gain more time-related expertise and authority.

He has witnessed the power of the Time Realm.

Therefore, I couldn't help but feel a longing for the future.

"No matter what, I'll keep grinding even after my Time Authority Rank is upgraded!"

"Of course, the Slaughter Authority Rank cannot be neglected either..."

Roger thought to himself.

Before immortality.

The Slaughter Authority Rank must be stacked to 1.0.

Only in this way.

Only then can he become one of the strongest immortals.

After all, normal people need a grid size of 1.0 to achieve immortality.

If he takes a shortcut to achieve immortality by leveraging the advantages of his social class.

That's putting the cart before the horse.

The advantage of the three Heaven Path Ascension would then be lost.

Unfortunately, Slaughter Authority Rank are not so easy to accumulate.

Roger slaughtered countless people in Qena.

There was no increase in the Slaughter Authority Rank either.

He himself knew absolutely nothing about the normal methods of cultivating one's rank.

"It seems that regardless of whether or not I want to contend for the Shadow Throne, I'll have to make a trip to the Shadow Realm..."

This thought came to mind.

Beya Two quickly escaped the area filled with sand and dust.

She entered the desolate and deserted Rakshasa City.

Here.

She found a hidden cave.

It was carefully arranged.

After ensuring that no one can detect its existence.

It then entered a state of self-dormancy once again.

The next moment.

Roger's main consciousness returned to Mystra.

Demon Dragon Abyss.

Compared to two months ago.

The murderous aura here has subsided considerably.

Just like Beya Two.

Roger's original body also worked diligently during this period.

Heaven rewards those who persevere.

Roger has now absorbed most of the power in the Demon Dragon Abyss.

The fading of that aggressive killing intent is proof of that.

Besides.

He further gained control of the Grindstone Seal.

Although we are far from reaching the point where our Qi Fate Synchronization.

However, it is already possible to perceive the internal structure of the Grindstone Seal to a certain extent.

This means that he is no longer as resistant to the strange object, the Grindstone Seal, as he was at first.

Certainly.

Transforming such a vast area as the Demon Dragon Abyss into Immortal Stele will still require a significant investment of effort and time.

Therefore, in the past two months.

Roger's greatest gain was not in the Demon Dragon Abyss.

It was somewhere else.

On the data panel.

"Record: You used your specialty 'Treasure Sack'."

Treasure Sack: You've discovered the Artifact Embryo 'Heavenly Heart Puppet'

Should we remove the Heavenly Heart Puppet?

"Treasure Sack" is a powerful special ability that Roger was given after his Heaven Path Ascension Forging Authority Rank.

Its function is.

Open it once a day.

You may randomly receive items such as gold, silver, and jewelry.

Occasionally, there may be rare materials.

And the first time the Treasure Sack was opened.

You will then obtain an Artifact Embryo.

Roger knew it very well.

Hoping to get rich through the daily rewards of this skill is probably wishful thinking.

Therefore, this first opening was handled with great care.

Due to the special nature of the Artifact Embryo.

Roger directly ruled out the possibility of immediate combat capability.

What remains is functionality.

These days...

He basically remembers opening the Treasure Sack once a day.

Let's see what good stuff has been found in the game.

Unfortunately, the Artifact Embryo provided by the Treasure Sack cannot be duplicated.

But the results are largely the same.

Weapons described as having incredible power accounted for over 95% of the content.

What's left are often some strange and unusual things.

Roger couldn't handle it well.

So I just kept scrolling.

Until two weeks ago.

He got the "Heavenly Heart Puppet"!

The moment I saw the overview.

Roger then smiled knowingly.

He knew.

My patience has finally paid off.

So he chose "yes" without hesitation!...

"Heavenly Heart Puppet: A ruthless cultivation machine that you can use to cultivate in any extraordinary field on your behalf, with all the final results belonging to you alone."

The Heavenly Heart Puppet can cultivate continuously for 24 hours a day, without needing food or energy, only requiring the necessary environment for cultivation.

The Heavenly Heart Puppet does not feel tired or in pain, nor is it affected by any emotional factors, because it is a pure machine that will not develop its own intelligence in any realm of time.

The only factor limiting the Heavenly Heart Puppet is its durability.

Each period of practice.

The durability of the Heavenly Heart Puppet will be consumed on its own.

Long-term use.

The durability of the Heavenly Heart Puppet will also decrease.

Repairing the Heavenly Heart Puppet is extremely difficult.

It requires extra care to use.

The artifact is currently in the embryonic stage.

The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Heart Puppet is increased by 1.5 times; this increases as the artifact grows and matures.

The cultivation bonus will increase over time...

This is exactly what Roger needs right now!

A cultivation substitute devoid of emotions!

It allows you to quietly cultivate some basic and traditional skills for yourself!

Due to the characteristics of the Hidden Hero template.

Roger has now developed a bad habit of relying on Sin Mark and Extermination Order for everything.

For such a hostile planet as the Nine Great Planets.

This certainly cannot be called wrong.

After all, the situation is so urgent.

He couldn't afford to cultivate slowly.

But with the continuous improvement of its strength.

This had actually become a minor bottleneck for Roger.

If he continues to be unable to improve his strength through traditional methods.

Then his demands on the external environment will increase significantly.

He has now almost finished defeating all the monsters in Twin Stars.

The potential for improvement in the Sin Mark has been completely exhausted.

What should we do next?

Fourth Star Track.

The Abyss of Destruction.

These are all alternatives.

But if we take it to an extreme...

The monsters in these places are gone too? Given Roger's cautious nature...

Naturally, one would consider the scenario of 'if I defeat all the monsters and still don't become the strongest.'

In this case.

Normal cultivation methods then came into his view.

He certainly wanted to personally take charge and implement a two-pronged approach.

But reality doesn't allow it.

He himself doesn't seem to be able to do it very well.

The appearance of the "Heavenly Heart Puppet" perfectly changed this situation.

This substitute is only needed to cultivate on my behalf.

Then Roger's last worry disappeared.

Whether it's status or Transcendent Energy.

The Heavenly Heart Puppet can cultivate just like Roger's original body.

Although Roger's own cultivation speed was not fast.

But it's impossible to work 24/7!

Not to mention.

The Heavenly Heart Puppet also provides a cultivation speed boost!

When Roger saw this attribute.

He became determined to nurture this Artifact Embryo into a truly perfected divine artifact! "Finally, I can cultivate using my own power..."

After acquiring the Heavenly Heart Puppet.

Roger played with it for a while, quite satisfied.

Then he threw it into the Xia Yin Realm.

After choosing to cultivate the "Nascent Soul Great Method" as the first goal.

He then began to observe and wait patiently.

Over the course of a few days.

The Heavenly Heart Puppet did not encounter any problems.

Roger himself was still a little annoyed—

"I've clearly improved my comprehension, so why is my cultivation speed for the Nascent Soul Great Method still so slow?"

"Um..."

"It must be a problem with the doll!"

"It must be!"

That's all.

Checking the cultivation progress of the Heavenly Heart Puppet became one of Roger's daily tasks, replacing the Treasure Sack.

After half a month.

He has basically gained a complete understanding of the Heavenly Heart Puppet.

In order to cultivate faster.

Roger put the Heavenly Heart Puppet back into Clear Spring Mountain.

Based on the current rate of increase.

It will take at least 100 days.

He will soon achieve his Nascent Soul through independent cultivation! It's quite exciting to think about—

A dignified Ascendant Qi Refiner to immortality ended up without a Nascent Soul.

I'm afraid people will laugh me to death if I tell them.

Now this gap has finally been closed.

Roger was naturally in a good mood.

"I just hope the Nascent Soul cultivated by the Heavenly Heart Puppet isn't too weak..."

The mission of Beya Two has come to a successful conclusion.

Mystra's situation gradually stabilized.

Roger was able to immerse himself in the Demon Dragon Abyss and work diligently.

But not long after.

A piece of news that could be considered good news came through.

That was the 69th day since Roger descended into the Demon Dragon Abyss.

He was told that Ji Qiu had mastered the Four Symbols Sect's martial arts.

Its strength is approaching that of an immortal.

The process of creating Immortal Stele has already begun.

Just one more step is needed.

Then you can break the mirror again.

This is related to Ji Qiu's improved strength.

Roger was not surprised.

This guy's talent is on par with Qin's.

Even higher—

Even in the End of Dharma Era of Qi, one can achieve success in cultivation.

After the Spiritual Qi Resurgence.

He was naturally the biggest beneficiary.

After mastering the technique.

Roger originally planned to go to the Cloud Sea Realm to pick out some cultivation techniques for him.

But Ji Qiu said that he no longer needed the cultivation technique.

What he needs now is insight and experience.

Roger handled all the affairs, big and small, on Mi Star.

The deputy sect leader couldn't even find a monster to practice on.

This made things difficult for Ji Qiu.

He didn't dare to argue with Roger.

So all I can do is complain to other people every day.

Over time.

The news finally reached Roger's ears through Sonsonia, who was far away in Quinan.

Roger immediately went to comfort Ji Qiu.

To prevent this guy's resentment from polluting the feng shui of Clear Spring Mountain.

However, he still considered fulfilling Ji Qiu's request.

I thought about it for a while.

Roger was embarrassed to discover that there really wasn't a suitable dungeon for the Twin Stars to team up with Ji Qiu!

Mi Star was defeated by his own actions.

Quinan was defeated by Beya.

Ji Qiu...

"Should we go to the Abyss of Destruction?"

Soon.

Roger rejected the idea.

The Abyss of Destruction is too dangerous.

I feel there's a risk even if I go by myself.

Moreover, it is Ji Qiu.

He pondered for a while.

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

Immediately afterwards.

His true form took out a ring from the Tinder Pouch.

After having an Assassin Projection wear the ring.

He then manipulated the Assassin Projection to find Ji Qiu.

"Would you be interested in taking a trip to the Abyss?"

That's what Roger asked.
