Chapter 1293 Puppet Method

[AN: I apologize in advance. This chapter was supposed to be short and brief about the puppet method, but I just went on a tangent and could not stop writing. Things should speed up from now on.]

"Come with me," Wang Wei said to the Puppet Demon, an act which made the former demonic leader excited. Meanwhile, the other looked at him with envy. Simultaneously, they felt a sense of urgency. Their boss did not hide his high regard for Mongke and a few group members. However, after today, they realized that there was an inner group among their team, and the requirement to enter was to be valuable.

Zhou Bo, the former leader of the Grandmist Gang, clenched his hands as he watched the Puppet Demon walk away to another room with the leader and the others. His eyes shifted to the corner to glance at the Bloodline Gang Leader, and the killing intent in his eyes almost leaked.

'If I can pass that tribulation and become an Everlasting Empyrean, I'll not only be able to kill that bastard, but I'll also be like the Puppet Demon.' A resolute look flashed in his eyes. Zhou Bo was not the only one thinking about how to enter the "inner circle." After what the Puppet Demon did, everyone had the same thought — the same ambition.

Wang Wei sensed the changes in these people's moods with his divine sense. He seldom does anything randomly, so his actions of leaving Mongke and his group behind were done purposely to motivate these people; he needed to establish a hierarchy and force these people to compete for better resources and his approval. Such a tactic was Management 101, and he used it brilliantly.

The Puppet Demon's action was unexpected, but it helped his actions. After all, these people saw how the Puppet Demon made an outstanding achievement and was invited into the "inner circle." What better way to light a fire under these people than seeing someone who was once on the same level as them rise to the top and acquire privileges they could only dream of?"

Wang Wei found a quiet room, and everybody sat opposite each other. He did not serve tea or anything like this and went directly to the business: "Tell me more about your idea."

The Puppet Demon exhaled. He came up with his idea on the spot, and he took significant risks by presenting it to Wang Wei. However, he was now a fired arrow, and there was no turning back. During the short walk from the throne room, he refined his idea but did not think it was enough.

'Fuck it. Let's just wing it,' Puppet Demon said before using the energy between Heaven and Earth to draw a diagram. "It's like this." He explained his thoughts while designing this new kind of puppet. Luckily for him, the Flame Blacksmith was interested in his idea, and he had some accomplishments in puppetry, so they discussed and refined this idea.

The Puppet Demon's idea was the cultivation world's version of an assembly line. He divided the puppets into five parts: head, torso, upper limbs, lower limbs, and core. All the parts will have a standard of refinements, allowing them to be assembled to create the finished product. This method drastically reduced the refining process since the Puppet Master does not need to refine the entire thing, just a part.

The Puppet Demon's idea was great but also encountered a few problems. Two primary ways for professionals to refine their products were direct baptism or rune resonance. Direct baptism requires the professional to deeply understand whatever Dao they will infuse in their creation. For example, if a refiner had to refine a fire sword and had a deep enough comprehension of Fire Grand Dao Source, they could directly nourish the refined artifact with Fire Grand Dao Source.

Rune resonance, the more universal approach, allowed professionals to use Daos with whom they have no understanding or relationship. However, the study of runes is no less complex than directly comprehending a Grand Dao Source.

The Puppet Demon's method cannot use direct baptism to make the puppets, as that would require utilizing professionals who have comprehended the same Dao. However, there were also problems with using rune resonance.

Soul power/spiritual power is used to engrave runes. However, refining is deeply personal, meaning every professional is different, making their soul power different. They have different compositions, strengths, weaknesses, frequencies, and even ideals and goals that will affect the nature of a person's soul power.

Due to the difference in soul power, the inscribed runes on the puppet parts will also differ, resulting in their incompatibility and conflict. This made putting them together in the final stages impossible. However, Flame Blacksmith easily solved this problem, suggesting using arrays to purify the refiners' soul power and ensure they had the same soul frequency.

This problem was solved without an issue, but another arose, and it was in the same area of compatibility. Refiners have different skills regarding rune engravement. If the rune in the puppet's arm is way better than the one in its arm, the final fusion will also fall apart. Wang Wei did not waste time and pointed out the crux of this idea: standardization.

Everything must be of the same standard: the puppet's body parts, the soul power used to engrave the runes, and the skill of the refiner. Only with this approach will they achieve their objectives of manufacturing these puppets at a record speed.
