Chapter 617 Sky-Gazing Macaque
The City of Gold became increasingly depressed.
The auction held by Nantian Society was very successful.
The large and small merchants in the city thought that this would be the starting point for the recovery of the Golden City.
However, the reality is exactly the opposite. Since the auction ended, more rumors have been rampant in the Golden City!
…
"[The disaster stars gather together, and the golden city will surely suffer a catastrophe]".
"[Cao Yingbo has run away, and Nantian Society has also begun to reduce its manpower. This is a precursor to great turmoil.]"
"[The previous earthquake was caused by a problem with the foundation of the gap space, and the Golden City was destined to disappear]."
I don’t know where this rumor originated, but it spread in the city with increasing momentum.
In the end, the Alchemy Palace had to stand up and appease the public.
…
The method of refuting rumors in the Alchemy Palace is very simple and crude.
They admitted that there were indeed two or three disaster stars mixed into the Golden City, but soon, all the disaster stars would be wiped out.
They are well prepared.
The thousand-year-old foundation of the Alchemy Palace cannot be shaken by just a few disaster stars.
…
This impressive statement really frightened many people.
After all, the image of the Alchemy Palace in the other world has always been large and powerful.
Even if there is a problem with the backer now, it is too big to fail.
Otherwise, without the Alchemy Palace, half of the alchemy industry in the other world would collapse.
…
As for the second rumor, there is no need to refute it at all.
No discerning person would believe that Nantianshe was running away and didn’t see that the true successor was still there!
As for the third rumor, the Alchemy Palace has sworn that the relevant experiments have been suspended and [earthquake] will never happen again.
…
It's a pity that as soon as these words were spoken in the Alchemy Palace, the [earthquake] happened, and it was even larger, and the entire golden city was shaking.
This time, refuting the rumor completely had the opposite effect.
The moment the [earthquake] stopped, many extraordinary people left the Golden City.
I was afraid that I would walk too slowly and the golden door would be closed again.
…
Although the earthquake only happened once, the breakdown of trust was so terrible.
In just a few days, the flow of people in the Golden City dropped by 1/3.
Fewer people came to do business, and merchants began to feel restless.
Even if everyone is reluctant to part with the property in the Golden City, they still have to think more about it.
…
Then comes the division and transfer of assets.
For businessmen, safety is more important.
With the loss of merchants, more and more people began to leave the Golden City.
Even those who have not yet left are still watching.
In just a few days, the Golden City plummeted, and rats in the sewers dared to walk on the road.
…
"What's going on over there with Zhuang Siyao?"
"The remaining two Timos treasures are in our hands."
"Without the integration of new treasures into the adapter, it is impossible to stimulate the [taboo]."
In the Alchemy Hall, 20 alchemy masters gathered together.
This time, it was not just the two gangs Fabian and Alesso who were meeting.
Instead, all the great masters of alchemy participated.
Of course, this must exclude Zhuang Siyao and others, as well as several alchemy masters outside.
…
"Still can't get in touch."
"That laboratory has been completely locked down."
"But since [Taboo] is not out of trouble, it only means that Zhuang Siyao and the others did not have a big problem."
"Perhaps the restlessness before was a sign of success."
A great master of alchemy reported the latest situation. Zhuang Siyao and the others had lost contact.
But fortunately, the breath of life is still there, and people are at least still alive.
…
After confirming that Zhuang Siyao and others were still alive, all the alchemist masters present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They really wanted that crazy woman to die, but not now.
…
"Everyone, the hearts of the people in the Golden City are completely in chaos, and their credit has also been severely damaged."
“Transaction volume fell below new lows one after another.”
"If no measures are taken, even if the Golden City can be saved, it will be impossible to return to the top in the future."
A certain great master of alchemy who remained independent spoke on behalf of those around him.
They only care about the benefits that Alchemy City can bring to them, and don't want to mess around.
…
"Xu Tianbai, it's useless."
"When people's hearts are broken and they want to put it back together again, it doesn't happen overnight."
"I know you don't want to get involved in our plans."
"But if we want to keep the Golden City, those disaster stars must die."
"They are the cause of all the commotion, especially the manipulative guy."
Fabian gritted his teeth in hatred. Could it be that bastard? How could he spend 1,500 top-quality spiritual stones to buy [Hand of Timothy].
Big loss!
…
"Yes, we will help in hunting down the disaster star."
"But we need to borrow the various treasures in the treasure house."
"Fabian, Alonso, don't you think this is unreasonable?"
Xu Tianbai stared at the other two groups of people, as long as these guys dared to say no.
They immediately abandoned all their interests in the Alchemy Palace and left the Golden City directly.
Why are you only allowed to reap the benefits?
We also demand the division of family property.
…
"Okay, Xu Tianbai, your request is very reasonable."
Alonso made his statement first.
But he also said that they had more urgent things to do now, so they would not participate in the siege of the disaster stars.
…
These words made Fabian's eyes glow green.
Bullshit "important things", they are still busy digging into their own corners.
But considering that these guys will only drag their feet after joining, Fabian and his friends did not say much.
In the end, 14 alchemy masters including Fabian and others will start to siege the disaster stars.
The time is set for three days later.
…
"Fabian, is there any result from Master Wang?"
After the meeting, Fabian and his group of 8 people gathered again.
Since buying the [Hand of Timothy], Fabian and his friends have been carrying a mean heart and have tested the [Hand of Timothy] hundreds of times, fearing that they have bought a fake.
As a result, they have tried all kinds of means, but did not find any problems with the [Hand of Timothy].
Could it be that the imperial viscount really did not do anything?
...
To be on the safe side, they asked Master Wang to help with divination.
With Master Wang's third-level attainment in the art of divination, as long as there is a quality problem with the [Hand of Timothy], it is absolutely impossible not to find it.
...
"Master Wang has confirmed that the [Hand of Timothy] does not have any safety hazards."
"Not only that, it is also the best maintained."
"It seems that the Imperial Viscount is quite concerned about this treasure."
"But this also shows that he will not give up on the Creator's inheritance."
Fabian's words reassured everyone.
Since Master Wang said there is no problem, there must be no problem.
As for the fact that he will not give up on the Creator's inheritance, this is all obvious.
Otherwise, why would he continue to stay in the Golden City instead of choosing to leave?
…
"Three days later, Master Wang will offer sacrifice to [Sky-peeking Macaque]."
"That one likes the skull fossils of various intelligent life forms the most."
"To ensure that everything goes well, we have prepared a total of 70 skull fossils of intelligent life forms this time, and the number has even reached 10,000."
"This is all the stock that is publicly circulated on the market."
The 8-member group began to discuss the details of the sacrifice, striving to avoid any mistakes.
They only have one chance, and they must not fail.
…
[Sky-peeking Macaque] is one of the four existing mysterious things.
Its name is Sky-peeking, and its ability can be imagined.
As long as the sacrifice is successful, the adaptor will definitely not escape.
Fortunately, [Mysterious Things] disdain to accept blood sacrifices and only like some special things.
Otherwise, if that one likes to eat human brains, with the current troubled situation of the Alchemy Hall, it really dare not perform the sacrifice.
…
In the inner ring world, the only one who really hunts down [Mysterious Things] is the Sword of Judgment.
Even the top ten super magic schools occasionally deal with these guys, and they are not enemies.
The other world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.
Without personal interests, it’s fine for everyone to just shout slogans, but who will really work hard?
…
The grandmasters of the Alchemy Hall are in a meeting, and the disaster stars are not idle either.
In a trading company that is beginning to be abandoned, Timothy met with the puppeteer again.
"Puppeteer, why hasn't that person appeared yet?"
"Are you planning to be sneaky like you and hide behind the scenes?"
…
Timothy taunted the puppeteer unceremoniously.
Since dealing with this guy, he has never seen his true body.
It is normal for Timothy to have resentment in his heart.
…
Besides, the puppeteer did not help him buy the [Hand of Timothy] during the last cooperation.
Now the remaining two treasures have fallen into the hands of Fabian and others, which is very difficult to deal with.
It won’t be stolen again, right?
Fabian and the others are not stupid.
…
"Be patient!"
"Jin Miaozhen will definitely show up!"
"Timothy, our situation is not good now."
"According to the information I received, the Tianji Master of the Alchemy Hall will hold a great sacrifice."
"Whether it is me or you, we will all be discovered this time."
"Especially you, with those two treasures as a lock, you can accurately locate."
The puppeteer first informed Timothy of the bad news.
Timothy's face immediately became uglier.
…
If Timothy had been confident before that he could suppress the induction of the other two treasures to himself.
Then after the Tianji Master took action, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be located.
At that time, he would face the full-scale beating of the Alchemy Hall.
Even though Timothy was very confident in his current strength, he did not think he could fight the entire Alchemy Hall alone.
…
"Puppeteer, since you already knew the other party's plan."
"I guess there should be a countermeasure."
"But I think it's better for everyone to talk openly before the next cooperation."
"For example, what exactly are you planning? What does Jin Miaozhen want?"
"I think it's better to make these clear first."
Timos stared at the "puppet" opposite him very seriously. He had some things to confirm.
…
"Hahaha, Timothy, you really have sensed it."
"That's right, you should have gained some of Timothy's memories now!"
"You should even understand the truth about Timothy's inheritance."
"You are the real [Timothy] now!"
The puppeteer revealed the truth unceremoniously, but Timothy remained indifferent and continued to stare at the puppeteer.
…
"That's all, you probably guessed it too."
"Yes, what I want to obtain is the source of [earthquake]."
"That is a [doll] made by Timothy himself."
"It's a pity that Timothy's most proud work turned into a [taboo] and killed him."
"Once a [taboo] is born, it will always exist as long as it is not completely destroyed!"
"Not only that, no matter how horrific injuries it suffers, it will slowly recover."
In order to gain Timothy's trust, the puppeteer finally began to show off his cards.
…
[Taboo] Born from the power of the Lord of Original Sin, it is a product specifically targeted at the Creator.
Even after the creator dies, it will instinctively target the intelligent race to which the creator belongs.
Therefore, as long as traces of [taboo] are found, intelligent civilization will try its best to destroy it to prevent it from getting out of control.
…
But for some unknown reason, although the taboo of killing Timothy was severely damaged, it was not completely destroyed.
It finally fell into the hands of the Alchemy Palace and has been "researched".
…
"Zhuang Siyao wants to obtain the power of [Taboo], and I want it too!"
"Since I am a puppeteer, naturally I will not let the [puppet] be made by the creator himself."
"As for what Jin Miaozhen wants, it's another doll!"
"In order to appease [Taboo], the Alchemy Palace often sacrifices some dolls to it."
"This is also the reason why Mu Tianyang will develop the doll industry."
The puppeteer comes clean, and now they need to work together.
But the final winner will only be him.
…
"I see. No wonder the source of the [earthquake] makes me instinctively fearful."
"But that's a [taboo] that can kill the Creator. Puppet Operator, aren't you afraid of screwing up?"
Timothy didn't think highly of the puppeteer at all, but that didn't stop him from hoping that the puppeteer could hold back the taboo.
Otherwise, it would be him, Timothy, who is being hunted by Taboo.
…
As he acquired more and more inheritances, Timothy instinctively felt fear and uneasiness.
And this fear was completely overwhelming, as if destined to overwhelm him.
Now Timothy fully understood.
His "resurrection" will inevitably lead to the awakening of [Taboo].
Since the puppeteer is willing to help him carry the thunder, why not?
…
"Timothy, you really are a very weird person!"
"According to my investigation, your original name was Wang Damao."
"You were originally born in an ordinary mountain village, and later worked as a coolie on the docks of a small country."
"By chance, you obtained the [Timothy's Kidney] and started a different life."
"You should know very well that you are not [Timothy]."
"Even if you have Timothy's inheritance and memory, and even the life gene."
The puppeteer finally asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
He really couldn't understand why Wang Damao would give up on himself and regard himself as another person.
This is not as simple as ordinary people's schizophrenia.
…
"Puppet Master, your life should be very smooth sailing!"
"Perhaps you have everything when you are born."
"But I'm different. I've suffered a lot, I've struggled at the bottom, and I'm eager to change everything."
"Getting [Timothy's Kidney] is the beginning of changing my destiny."
"But human greed and ambition are never satisfied."
"After entering the other world, I discovered that even with the [Timothy's Kidney], I am still very ordinary and am still stepped on by everyone."
"It turns out that even if I changed to another world, my status would not change."
Timothy told his experience calmly, as if it was another person's story.
…
"At first, I just thought that what I got was an ordinary alchemical treasure."
"But after I learned that the Timos series of treasures were transformed from the remains of the creator Timos, everything changed."
"The remains of the Creator, what a powerful treasure this is, how could it only have such a little power."
"The reason why I am not strong enough must be because I did not fully integrate this treasure."
“But how exactly do we achieve complete integration?”
"I thought about it and finally got an answer."
"That is to turn yourself into [Timothy]."
"Why can I get [Timothy's Kidney]? This is fate, because I am the reincarnation of Timothy."
"I am destined to regain the power of my past life."
…
Timothy was still talking so calmly, but the puppeteer was dumbfounded.
He seemed to finally understand why "Wang Damao" became the adapter.
Because it was not Timothy’s remains who chose “Wang Damao”, but “Wang Damao” himself who wanted to become Timothy.
If this is no longer suitable, then it is unreasonable.
…
"Wang Damao, what a rustic name, what a miserable life."
"As long as I give it up, I will be the reincarnation of the creator, with a glorious past and a bright future."
"Mortals can even recognize the thief as their father for the sake of wealth and glory."
"I just found my [previous life]. Is this a heinous crime?"
Timothy's well-reasoned theory made the puppeteer unable to do anything.
The puppeteer instinctively wanted to argue. It doesn't matter whether your previous life is true or not, but how can you let the [previous life] cover the [present life].
Everyone lives in the present, but you are so good that you have resurrected.
...
Perhaps the cognition has changed. In the eyes of the puppeteer, Timothy's body began to exude a rotten and old smell.
If it was a new object made old before, then now it is an old object polished.
The essence of the two is completely different.
...
The conflict of concepts made the two people fall into silence.
If Jin Miaozhen hadn't arrived yet, they really wanted to break up.
But this time it was a three-person alliance, which was related to the next life and death.
They could only wait!
After all, Jin Miaozhen is really good at fighting, and the key is that there is no conflict of interest.
…
Timos wants to collect all the parts and completely "revive".
The puppeteer needs Timothy's resurrection to completely awaken [Taboo].
And Jin Miaozhen can get the puppet she wants after the puppeteer leads [Taboo] away.
A perfect closed loop is formed between the three of them, and it would be unreasonable not to cooperate once.
…
However, the two people who were waiting did not know that Jin Miaozhen was praying to [God] at this time.
And she has been doing this for a long time.
