Chapter 726: Chapter 318: Breaking the Curse

Looking at Ji Sheng’s expression as if he had swallowed a fly, the Porcelain Doll smiled sweetly, "This is the foundation of our cooperation. What, hesitating near the harvest? This is the only way the leader has found to break the royal curse. Ye Shidao ate the fruit of fate, became an angel, and married the Princess. Once the Princess is pregnant, absorbing the powerful backlash force of the destiny embryo can offset the death curse. The Princess becomes the Empress, restoring the royal glory, and Ye Shidao becomes the Regent King. He has the ability and prestige, and he needs to control the Council, stabilize the army at the border, and complete the transition. As for what happens after stabilization, naturally, it will be up to Lord Slave Master to decide."

"Will Lord Creator come?" Ji Sheng asked, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"He’s busy, with more important tasks," the Porcelain Doll waved a slender white finger, "As long as we do what needs to be done well, we will surely succeed. Nothing will stop us. Look how hard Dalivin is working, he’s one of Lord Creator’s favorite children."

"Making him a puppet would be more convenient; after all, he has left Lord Creator," Ji Sheng said calmly, "Saves the trouble of needing rest."

"You Puppet Masters have quite the addiction; once someone becomes a puppet, their level drops significantly."

"My control won’t deteriorate," Ji Sheng replied, slightly disliking the Porcelain Doll’s tone, as if she regarded him as a child.

"I wasn’t talking about the effect of the mask, but rather the artistry. I hate things that are ugly," the Porcelain Doll laughed, "Also, aren’t you afraid the Dragon Mother will trouble you?"

"As a fellow singer, do I fear her?" Ji Sheng snorted coldly.

"Ancient Dragons are narrow-minded and hold grudges, especially mother dragons," the Porcelain Doll laughed, "Of course, the main point is that the leader detests internal strife."

The bloodline of Ancient Dragons is troublesome; their dragon aura is devastating to all sorts of paths. Previous Dragon Mothers were immature, but now they have reached maturity, even the Creator wouldn’t want to provoke her over trivial matters.

"Oh, almost forgot the most important thing. Lord Chou reminded me to tell you to be careful recently, your Life Star shows turbulence, someone is targeting you," the Porcelain Doll said.

Ji Sheng froze slightly, an eerie, murderous aura emanating from him, mixed with some anger. Lately, things haven’t been going smoothly; targets unwise enough to provoke him keep showing up, "It’s just the itch I need."

"Lord Chou’s warning is worth heeding; he doesn’t meddle in others’ affairs lightly," the Porcelain Doll laughed.

"Is he really a singer? The leader spoils him too much. If it weren’t for the leader, there’s no way he’d be allowed to mess around here," Ji Sheng frowned.

Sensing Ji Sheng’s displeasure, the Porcelain Doll took out an exquisite ring, "Lord Chou is different from us; the leader values him greatly. We each have our own tasks. However, I have a little something here, a find from the Hedan Royal Treasury last time. It will alert you whenever an Angel Level is near, which should make things foolproof."

The Angel Ring, an ancient secret item, serves only one purpose: to sense the presence of angels.

Ji Sheng’s gaze fell on the Angel Ring. Under the level of an angel, he’s fearless. As long as it’s not a Great Angel, no one can trouble his enslaved angels. He has countless ways to preserve his life; puppet angels are not easily targeted and are one of the most challenging to deal with on all paths. Nonetheless, he felt the Porcelain Doll’s goodwill; it wasn’t for him but for the mission, where he is the critical link.

"Thanks, Lord Porcelain Doll, it’s rare for Lord Chou to concern himself with our affairs; he acts rather casually for a singer," Ji Sheng had a bit of a complaint.

The Porcelain Doll didn’t mind, smiling patiently: "Lord Chou is somewhat special, and the leader is lenient with him. His task with the Crystalline Dragon is almost over; I can’t say much, but his warning was at least conscientious."

"I really must thank him," Ji Sheng wasn’t buying it, making an offhand comment. It was as worthless as a fart, yet the Porcelain Doll still held it with a certain authority, treating him a bit like a subordinate despite being on the same level as a singer.

Of course, secret items are always welcome.

Although he’s a member of the Song of Hell, his status is far more noble than those of less legitimate paths. They’ve gathered together for the shared goal, and apart from the leader, all singers are supposed to be equal. The Porcelain Doll showed little respect for other singers’ actions; if not for the fact that this plan circled around aiding him, he wouldn’t have been so courteous.

Looking at row after row of puppet soldiers and the masks made under Dalivin’s leadership by puppet mask makers, Ji Sheng’s mood improved a bit.

Dalivin worked earnestly on the masks, aided by over a dozen Dragon Capital mask makers who had been turned into puppets by the Slave Master, working tirelessly, with some completely drained of energy.

Puppet Masters and mask makers have collaborated frequently since the old era, often achieving great results together. Once enslaved, the early stage is the best, as they can almost wield 90% of their original strength, but gradually decline as the body weakens, the soul fades, and strength diminishes. But if it’s a core puppet, the Puppet Master has ways to maintain performance.

The heap before them clearly didn’t belong to this category; these were the Creator’s works.

He’s always wanted to escape the Song of Hell, but it’s incredibly difficult. Used frequently as he is now, even the Dragon Mother couldn’t protect him. Traditional mask makers are too conspicuous; in large numbers, they’ll be discovered. In the new era, mask makers of his caliber are rare and extremely efficient.

Seeing the Slave Master’s gaze upon him, he couldn’t help but feel terrified. The path of the Puppet Master angels comes with a strong collection obsession, which is also a condition for further advancement.

The Puppet Master can use the abilities of core puppets they cultivate; however, the abilities will not exceed that of the puppet itself.

Though puppet angels are immensely powerful, controlling so many people seems impossible. What lurks within each sealed body?

Every time Dalivin touches a puppet, a chilling malice is felt, as if he were mere prey. It feels like if the seal were broken, he would be torn apart. Numerous malicious intents form a terrifying pressure that fills the entire burial ground. Had those around him not been puppets, they might have been scared to death. He managed to endure only due to years of accumulated dragon aura protection, yet the pain was severe.

With so many combat puppets, the Song of Hell must be planning something grand. Is it aiming to massacre Dragon Capital?

Dalivin didn’t know if this involved royal power struggles or clashes of secret forces, but either way, it spelled doom for Dragon Capital. As for the Moon God’s Court, he was unsure; inherently, he felt distrust toward all church courts.

This time, with such amassed power, what does the Song of Hell intend to do?

He somewhat regretted it; back in Hedan, the Dragon Mother once asked if he wanted to go to the Holy City with Ma Liu...
