The method of making this puppet artifact is very complicated. The divine text and divine array are much more profound than other divine texts circulating outside. Even with Xu Changqing's ability, they can only infer their approximate effects from the root of the divine text and divine array. Whether it is correct or not needs to be verified.

After Xu Changqing's careful inspection, the basic effects of these puppet artifacts are very single. They cannot be used to attack like other puppet artifacts, nor can they be used as defensive artifacts to block attacks. They can only transfer their souls to these puppet artifacts through the main tools of these puppet artifacts, so that the driver can monitor all movements around them as if they were immersive.

More than a hundred puppet artifacts of different shapes are distributed in various places in the forging workshop, and the placement is so clever that it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to do this. Only members who participate in the construction of the forging workshop can participate in the construction of all the forging workshops.

Thinking that it was his own people, Xu Changqing first eliminated all the turbid beast gods under his command, because the forbidden punishment seal had long been printed in their natal divine fire, which could ensure that they were absolutely loyal and would not betray him. After leaving aside his subordinates brought by the ancient gods, Xu Changqing's suspicion fell on those slave gods. Although there were various contracts that restricted their actions and allowed them to be subordinate to Xu Changqing, these contracts could not eliminate the betrayal of those slave gods. It only imprinted a mark on the slave gods and the divine fire to confirm their belongings, and controlling some of their behaviors could not change their deep intentions.

In addition, this type of slave god contract has a way to terminate it, but the cost of the method is too high and it is unintentional to use it, so no one cares about this. If someone is willing to pay a huge price to buy the slave god of a certain force, then some slave gods are likely to betray the forces they are in. Therefore, among those large tribes, slave gods are often used as coolies. All the dirtiest and tiring things will be handed over to the slave god, and only members of the family can contact them that really involve core interests.

Xu Changqing knew very well that the slave gods sent were not reliable. So he sent all the slave gods to build forging platforms and furnace casting rooms, and handed all the core things such as the installation of forging artifacts to the turbid beast gods to operate. However, he did not expect that someone would notice him so quickly, and even bribed the slave gods in advance and set up those puppet artifacts.

After having a suspect, Xu Changqing quickly found many other gods who were left in the eyes and secrets from a large number of slave gods, and after checking them one by one, he finally found the slave god who placed these puppet artifacts.

Through some means, Xu Changqing easily took out most of the memories of the slave god without making the slave god suspicious, so that he knew that his master was actually Hermes, an alien among the twelve master gods of the Olympus tribe.

Xu Changqing didn't understand why Hermes noticed him so early, but it was uncomfortable to be stared at by a master god who was famous for his weird behavior. Although directly destroying these puppet artifacts can solve the problem of snooping, this is just a treatment of the symptoms rather than the root cause. Meeting Hermes, directly tests his intentions, and then decides on the next countermeasures. This is the relatively safe way to deal with it.

However, Xu Changqing set up a secret ambush several times, trying to distract Hermes from the puppet artifact, but he cleverly avoided it. He also made him notice it.

But even though Hermes might have known that Xu Changqing had discovered the existence of the puppet artifact, he did not give up his peeping of the forging workshop. Especially when Xu Changqing focused on refining the forging artifact, he appeared very frequently, and he would withdraw from the puppet artifact before Xu Changqing realized that he was going to take action. This made Xu Changqing feel that Hermes was not simply peeping at the secrets of the forging workshop, but more like playing hide-and-seek with him. When he recalled the rumors about Hermes' behavior in the Temple Star, he felt that his speculation was not wrong.

After learning about this, Xu Changqing secretly set up a trap that was completely targeted at Hermes. Although he dare not say that it was foolproof, he could still do it. The only problem now is to find a suitable bait.

Originally, Xu Changqing planned to wait to go to the swamp, find out the secret of the monsters using the prehistoric energy in the gems, and use this secret as bait to lure Hermes into the bait. But unexpectedly, Neodal would suddenly come over, wanting to take advantage of various threats to make Xu Changqing subdue him. Since there was a bait that was automatically delivered to the door, Xu Changqing would naturally not be polite, so he directly picked up Neodal's biggest secret and took the opportunity to attract Hermes.

However, what Xu Changqing didn't expect was that what attracted him was not Hermes' distraction, but Hermes' soul.

For the gods in the Holy Ruins, although the distraction is more like a special magic technique, if damaged, it will damage its own divine power, but it will not affect the natal divine fire. However, the divine soul is different, and it is part of the natal divine fire. If damaged, the natal divine fire will be damaged at the least, and the natal divine fire will be directly reduced, and it may even knock down the altar. Its value is very different.

If the only thing he captured was Hermes' distraction, then Xu Changqing would have a very small threat to Hermes himself, and he could only obtain the information he wanted from Hermes through his own tongue. But now, what he caught in Xu Changqing's trap was Hermes' soul. Even if he could not get any useful things from the other party's mouth in the end, he could still find a large amount of information from the other party's soul through the soul search method, and then he could even entrust his soul to the War God City to sell it, preferably to Hermes' enemy. In this way, even if Hermes would not be controlled by others, he would probably be subject to some restrictions due to the soul, and it would be difficult to do anything unscrupulously like before. After all, among the Holy Ruins gods, there are many divine techniques that can attack the other party's body through the souls of others or natal artifacts.

Xu Changqing, who had already taken the initiative, showed no awe of the top god Hermes, but instead said as if facing an ordinary person: "It is true that even if you don't have Lord Neodal, it's only a matter of time before I want to catch you. Now that I'm early, and Lord Neodal is here, I'm just going to start talking! I wonder if Lord Hermes is interested in my proposal just now?"

Although Xu Changqing captured his soul, Hermes was not panicked at all, as if he didn't care about the danger that the soul might bring to him. His question to Xu Changqing was like a wind in his ears, and he had no intention of answering. Instead, Xu Changqing's origin was even more interesting. He looked at Xu Changqing with a curious look and said, "Neodal just now said you are not Bell, I agree very much. I even think you are not a turbid beast god, but there is no powerful existence like you in the existence I know. Can you tell me who you are? If you want to cooperate, you should always know each other's identities, so that you can have a foundation for cooperation!"

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll tell you my identity, so you don't dare to cooperate with me anymore."

"How can you know if you don't try?" Neodal said first without waiting for Hermes to speak.

Although Neodal has a bad relationship with Hermes, he is now standing aside because he is also very curious about Xu Changqing's origin.

Xu Changqing smiled without answering, looked at Hermes, and Hermes took a step just right, stood beside Neodal, and expressed his attitude. Seeing this, Xu Changqing didn't say much, just raised his right hand and condensed the divine power into a mass of divine fire in the palm of his hand. Following the two top main gods of the Holy Ruins, he saw that the power aura emitted by the divine fire in Xu Changqing's hands quickly changed, from Neodal's divine power aura, to Hermes' divine power aura, to Vedel's divine power aura, etc. In short, almost all the divine power that Xu Changqing had seen before could be imitated exactly the same.

"How is this possible?" Seeing this scene, Neodal and Hermes couldn't help but say in unison.

Compared to Neodal's surprise, Hermes was a little more excited, as if the ability displayed by Xu Changqing had a special significance to him.

"Nothing is impossible. My identity is here. Whether you can guess it depends on your wisdom and knowledge." Xu Changqing put away the divine fire in his hand, and looked at the two main gods in front of him, looking at the two main gods in front of him. In fact, the divine power in his body was not relaxed at all. As long as the expressions of Neodal and Hermes were a little wrong, he would take action to take down both of them. If necessary, they could be used as a trigger to stir up the battle between the pure blood gods and the other two major gods.

Although things happened a little sudden today, they did not leave Xu Changqing's plan. They just took out some plans that should have been put in the back and replaced with a few people. He was originally planning to wait until his forging workshop had a certain say in the Holy Ruins, and then win over the War God City, Neodal, the Fire Giant Clan and Kunlun in the third ring would form an alliance. If necessary, they could also seduce the turbid beast gods and the mixed-class gods of the ancient gods. But now Neodal suddenly made this move, and he captured Hermes' soul just right. Hermes' past behavior was to do things that were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he slightly modified the plan to adapt to the changes and become the current four-sided alliance.

"It's you! It's you!" Hermes suddenly shouted in surprise at this time, as if he had known the identity expressed by Xu Changqing with the meaning of the divine fire.
