The Puppet Cried, So Raiden Shogun Ei Discarded Her as a Failure and Made the Merciless General Issue the Sakoku Decree; Dai Hao Called Her a Caged Bird

"She wants to single-handedly hold up an umbrella called ' Eternity ' for her kingdom, shielding it from all the winds and rains that might bring ' Wear '."

Even if this umbrella suffocates her people.

The Dragon God's words plunged the other gods into even deeper silence.

They finally understood completely.

Everything Raiden Shogun Ei do is not for power, nor for personal gain.

She was just a heartbroken person trying to protect her last treasure in the most extreme and clumsy way.

What she is fighting against is "Heavenly Principles," "Wear," and the governing Laws of the entire world.

The weapon she chose was "Eternity".

A thorny path destined to be lonely, and destined to be at odds with the whole world.

The Light Screen shifted, and the image changed.

Raiden Shogun Ei's figure appeared in a deep, secluded room, which seemed to be the deepest part of the Tenshukaku, surrounded by various sophisticated tools and blueprints.

What is she going to do?

The same question arose in everyone's mind.

They soon got their answer.

Raiden Shogun Ei stretched out her hand, and lightning gathered in her palm. It did not transform into an indestructible blade, but into the most exquisite carving knife. Using her own body as a blueprint, she began to create a brand new "body".

It was a doll.

"She... she's going to create herself?" He Caitou widened. As Soul Engineer, he could tell at a glance how exquisite the puppet's structure was, its complexity far exceeding any Level 9 Soul Tool he had ever seen.

"No, she's not creating herself." Huo Yuhao's Purple Demon Eye flickered with a faint light as he keenly grasped the key point. "She's creating a... perfect, Wear 'god'."

On the Light Screen, the prototype of the doll was quickly completed. It had an appearance exactly like that of Raiden Shogun Ei, so exquisite that it seemed to be the most perfect creation of heaven.

However, just as Raiden Shogun Ei was about to inject the core into the puppet, a single, crystal-clear tear slid down the corner of its eye.

It felt sadness in its dream.

The action in Raiden Shogun Ei came to an abrupt halt.

She stared silently at the tear, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—a mixture of shock and confusion—which ultimately coalesced into an unwavering resolve.

"It failed..." Rong Nianbing sighed softly, "Because it possessed emotions. And emotions are one of the sources of ' Wear '."

Sure enough, the scene depicted Raiden Shogun Ei sealing away this near-perfect "failure" and abandoning it in a corner of a secret room.

She wouldn't allow her "Eternity" to have even the slightest flaw.

Seeing this, Tang Ya's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with indescribable pain.

That crying doll is like seeing my past self, abandoned by the person I trusted most.

"How could this be... how could this be..." Xiao Xiao couldn't help but say, her voice choked with sobs, "Just because it can cry, it's going to be discarded as a failure?"

"Because she's afraid." Gu Yuena's voice was cold, yet tinged with pity. "She's afraid that this doll will feel the pain of loss, just like she did. So, she'd rather eliminate that possibility from the very beginning."

They were so afraid that they couldn't even tolerate a "child" with their own emotions.

This fear has seeped into my very bones.

Then, Raiden Shogun Ei began their second creative endeavor.

This time, she abandoned all superfluous emotional considerations, focusing solely on one goal—to be an absolute, ruthless, and perfect executor.

When the second puppet was completed, all the Deity in the Douluo God Realm felt a chill that emanated from their very souls.

It also possesses the appearance of Raiden Shogun Ei, but that face lacks any trace of "humanity." It is like a cold jade sculpture, perfect, yet lifeless.

It has no feelings, no thoughts, and simply executes the will of "Eternity" perfectly.

Electro General.

[I will abandon this body; from now on, only the 'General' will be Inazuma's god.]

She will stand in my place, bearing the Wear of time, witnessing Inazuma's unchanging nature for millennia, for Eternity.

[And I will enter the Sanctuary of Oneness, and in silence, contemplate the ' Eternity ' way that is closest to the principles of Heavenly Principles.]

A chilling declaration echoed through the sky.

In the Light Screen, Raiden Shogun Ei's figure began to become illusory.

Before she disappeared completely, she did one thing.

She handed a heart, which shimmered with purple lightning and resembled Chess Piece, to her friend who had rushed over—a fox-eared woman named Yae Miko.

"The Gnosis ..." Tang San frowned. "What is that? The core of some kind of power? She actually entrusted something so important to someone else?"

"What is this Sanctuary of Oneness?" Tian Hen was also puzzled. "Abandoning the body, abandoning the core of power, and throwing the soul into an unknown place... this is nothing short of a high-stakes gamble."

No one could answer them.

They could only watch helplessly as the soul of Raiden Shogun Ei completely vanished.

The next moment, the flawless doll opened its eyes.

A flash of purple lightning disappeared into those empty eyes.

A new Thor has been born.

Immediately afterwards, two imperial edicts were issued from the Tenshukaku throughout Inazuma.

[Sakoku Decree: The four borders of Inazuma are sealed off, severing all contact with the outside world.]

[Vision Hunt Decree: Collect all the Vision throughout the land, and in accordance with the will of the gods, unite the desires of all people to forge an Eternity foundation.]

The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Douluo God Realm.

"Isolation? Confiscating the Vision?!" Emperor Dai Hao stared at the Light Screen in disbelief. "Is she trying to turn her people into caged birds?"

As Emperor, he could understand centralized power, but he could not understand this kind of complete confinement!

"The Vision... it is the condensation of wishes, the driving force for people to move forward. To take it away is to take away people's future!" Ning Rongrong's face was pale; she could not understand this behavior. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had become powerful precisely because of the power of Soul Master.

"How... how could she have become like this..." Tang Ya murmured, her eyes filled with heartache.

How could that lone hero, so admirable in his defense of the nation, issue such a cold-blooded and ruthless decree?

"To unify the desires of all people according to the will of God?" Ye Yinzhu shook his head. The Qin Emperor's eyes were full of disappointment. "That's not unification, that's annihilation! Every person's desire is a unique piece of music. Forcibly turning them into the same monotonous note will only leave the world in deathly silence."

"Without emotion, there is no pain, but there is also no love." The Goddess of Flame leaned gently against Ji Dong, her voice Youyou. "What can a god who has even abandoned love protect? She is only protecting an empty shell called ' Eternity '."
