Chapter 1729: Chapter 909: Disguised Puppet Master

City No. 7.

A young man was leisurely walking down the street.

He seemed to have just arrived in this city, so he had a heightened curiosity about this coastal city.

The young man walked straight into the depths of the city until he arrived in front of a mansion. The two stone lions at the entrance came to life, glaring at him with angry eyes.

The young man smiled, "I’m here to discuss business with your master, don’t attack me."

After speaking, he calmly walked to the door, picked up the brass knocker on the red door, and knocked loudly.

With a creak, the door opened, revealing an elderly man who looked at the young man expressionlessly, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man smiled and said, "I’m the Puppet Master Zong Cheng, here to find the Chen Clan’s Demigod, Chen Yu."

The old man said, "Wait."

With a clang, the door closed.

The old man hobbled deeper into the yard.

At this moment, Chen Yu was standing in his courtyard, facing a table, on which was spread a piece of Xuan paper.

The figure on the Xuan paper was already half-drawn, revealing the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, with red armor, one face, two arms, protruding eyes, and a dragon helmet. In his right hand, he held a dragon, and in his left, he carried a pagoda.

Impressive and lifelike.

Behind Chen Yu was a clock, as tall as a person.

The pendulum of the clock swung left and right, and when it struck the hour, it sounded with a dong, dong, dong.

Curiously, from ten meters away, the old man watched as Chen Yu’s every move seemed to be sped up unnaturally, with even his painting movements appearing absurdly fast.

But once the old man stepped within ten meters, everything seemed normal.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you should stay beyond ten meters. This clock is a Taboo, and within ten meters, time flows six times faster than outside. You’re already quite old; don’t waste the precious time."

"Young master," Uncle Xu said, "A young man has come to the door, claiming to be Puppet Master Zong Cheng, and he wants to see you."

Chen Yu’s brush paused for a moment.

He pondered for a moment, "Let him in, but don’t let him have the chance to touch you."

"Understood."

The old man went to bring the young man in and then withdrew.

"Such courage, to dare come here," Chen Yu said calmly as he painted.

The young man looked him over, then smiled and said, "Does the Chen Clan’s Demigod also feel a sense of crisis? To the point of using a Taboo to aid in drawing, wanting to create a few more paintings before the war comes? I’ve heard that this clock is usually for ordinary artists, as demigods prefer not to accelerate their own lifespan."

Chen Yu glanced at the composed young man, "Speak of business; if you can’t please me, your puppet won’t be going back."

The young man laughed heartily, "Your enemy is Qing Chen, and my enemy is also Qing Chen. We have common interests."

"The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily a friend," Chen Yu put down the brush, "You want to kill him, that’s your business. If I want to kill him, I’ll do it myself, there’s no need to join forces with anyone."

This is the pride of a demigod; a demigod who wants to kill someone doesn’t really need to join forces with anyone.

The young man then said, "I’ve already teamed up with the Roosevelt Kingdom of the West Continent. Are you interested in joining us?"

Chen Yu glanced at him, "Not interested."

"Then I’ll tell you something important," the young man smiled, "Do you want to know the secrets underground?"

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed, "You also know about the underground matters."

"I crawled out from there," the young man explained, "Currently, there are still Chen Family members stationed beneath Taboo Land No. 8; you can have them look at the shattered glass vessel on the rock wall. I came out from there. I’m a bionic body made by the Tinder Company, with genetic origins from the Zong Consortium of the Second Epoch, Zong Cheng."

Chen Yu scrutinized this Puppet Master seriously, "What’s underground?"

"The secret of divine ascent," the young man smiled, "I know only something like this could pique the interest of a demigod, so I dared to come here. Let me elaborate: that underground base contains a vast amount of Tinder information, including the entire treatment process of God Ren Xiaosu after he got cancer and received treatment from Tinder Company."

Chen Yu became serious.

The young man continued, "After getting cancer, Ren Xiaosu’s father, Ren He, sent him to a secret base. Dr. P developed a drug for coexisting with cancer. After treatment, all the cells in his body were broken and reformed into an alien nucleus like a diamond. However, coexisting with cancer means facing the risk of merging with the world will... you can understand that coexisting incompletely with cancer results in gray skin experimental bodies, while the new humans who perfectly coexist with cancer must become demigods."

Chen Yu was taken aback.

Is it certain that by coexisting with cancer, one can become a demigod? He had painfully cultivated for twenty years, even ensuring seamless integration with Zhi Lanxing, and had barely become a demigod at age thirty. But others just needed to get cancer, take a shot, and that was it.

The young man continued, "After coexisting with cancer, the mind and body will be on the verge of collapse, but Ren He brought a special object from the Northwest to stabilize the situation. So Ren Xiaosu initially lost his memory for a long time; his entire mental will was sealed until his body could withstand that enormous mental will, then he unlocked it himself."

"How do I know you’re telling the truth?" Chen Yu asked, "Give me the underground data, then tell me what you want to do."
