I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Just a while ago, Lu Jun, the old man in coarse linen clothes in the farmland, suddenly had an inspiration. Based on rune arrays, rune machines, and the method of turning beans into soldiers, he thought of a solution.

The method he thought of was to directly transform the scarecrow into a puppet with certain autonomous behaviors.

As long as the energy is not completely exhausted, it will patrol the farmland tirelessly throughout the year within the planned scope.

After taking another deep look at the scarecrow in front of him, Lu Jun turned and left, entering a house in the distance.

Picking up the telescope on the table, Lu Jun looked at the scarecrow in the distance and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour

An hour later, a burst of bird chirping was suddenly heard in the distance, and a group of sparrows nearly the size of two fists flew quickly towards them.

After arriving above the farmland, it circled slightly.

Seeing that there was no one below, he swooped down quickly, completely ignoring the scarecrow below.

There were even sparrows that swooped down on the scarecrow, as if they wanted to destroy it.

However, at the moment when these sparrows fell into the farmland, the scarecrow's straw head suddenly stiffened and looked at the flying sparrows.

"Chirp"

At this moment, the sparrow seemed to be extremely frightened. It made a panicked cry and tried to flap its wings to turn around.

But, how could it be too late now?

"Grain thief, kill the grain thief!"

A mechanical sound was heard, and the straw on the scarecrow suddenly and rapidly pierced through the sparrow's body like strands of iron wire.

"Gu Gu."

In a moment, the sparrow's energy was devoured and it fell to the ground as a dried corpse. However, the strength lost by the attack on the scarecrow was not only replenished but even increased slightly.

Then, the scarecrow looked at the other sparrows that fell into the farmland. His eyes made of buttons flashed a red light and instantly locked onto their location.

“Swoosh~!”

The scarecrow moved, using the Earth and Wood escape technique, and instantly appeared in front of a group of sparrows nearby. As they flew up in fright, countless straws pierced through them.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Gu Gu."

In just a moment, the countless piercing straws penetrated the bodies of many sparrows, devouring their energy, replenishing their own consumption, and increasing their own strength.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun, who had been observing through a telescope, couldn't help but smile.

He succeeded.

As the scarecrow killed people, the sparrows that had fallen down were frightened and flew up, circling over the wheat field.

When the sparrow moved away for a distance, the scarecrow lost its target lock and stopped again at the place where the final killing took place.

The aura emanating from his body was already about 10% stronger than at the beginning.

Looking at the motionless scarecrow below, the sparrow, which had already shown considerable spirituality, flew around the scarecrow several times, and finally flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"hehe."

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun smiled and walked out of the wooden house and walked towards the scarecrow.

When he came in front of the scarecrow, the scarecrow actually turned around slowly and stared at Lu Jun with its two button eyes.

However, it had no intention of attacking.

This is also a matter of course. The scarecrow was originally created by Lu Jun, so it naturally has a corresponding control core.

Looking at the scarecrow in front of him, Lu Jun was satisfied, but he also frowned slightly.

Because some of the straw on the scarecrow began to turn blood red, giving off a strange and ominous aura.

Apparently, this was caused by its killing and eating of sparrows.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Jun decided to maintain the status quo for the time being and see what changes would happen to the scarecrow in the end.

He wanted to use the scarecrow to drive away the birds and beasts in the farmland, so naturally he had to grasp all its changes.

For a period of time afterwards, the scarecrow stood quietly in the farmland, killing and devouring the birds and beasts that entered the farmland, and even the insects nearby.

As time went by, the blood color on the scarecrow became brighter and brighter, and more and more areas were stained.

In the end, the scarecrow had turned completely blood-red, emitting a weird and ominous aura that made people feel afraid when they saw it.

His strength has even reached the initial stage of Qi training. If placed in other neighboring countries, it would be comparable to the top masters.

After all, the scarecrow was made of rune arrays, and rune arrays are a simplification of the rules of magical powers. They contain power and are naturally much stronger than the true qi cultivated by ordinary people.

Moreover, as the power of the scarecrow increased, the essence of the rune array remained unchanged.

But the depth has definitely gotten stronger.

The essence of their power may not be as good as that of the people of the Celestial Empire who possess heavenly and divine status.

However, it is definitely better than ordinary people who do not have heavenly status.

In addition to the increase in strength, the scarecrow at this time no longer just stands still, but wanders back and forth in the farmland.

From time to time, he would use the earth and wood escape techniques to flash to various places in the farmland.

However, it has never left the farmland allocated for it by Lu Jun, nor has it escaped Lu Jun's control.

Of course, Lu Jun has other concerns about this.

Lu Jun's control over the scarecrow did not weaken in the slightest.

But the scarecrow now looks so weird no matter how you look at it, and I’m afraid that it might hurt other people who unknowingly break in.

Moreover, the scarecrow can kill all birds and beasts.

If any farmed pigs, dogs, chickens, or ducks accidentally enter, they will surely be killed and eaten.

These are all areas that need improvement.

So, Lu Jun made some improvements to it, injected new behavioral norms, and then began to conduct other experiments.

First he brought the cats and dogs from home, then he used a special secret method to capture a wisp of their power and integrated it into the core of the scarecrow, and then he drove them into the farmland.

In an instant, the scarecrow, covered in blood, turned around abruptly and looked at the cat and dog.

"Woof, woof~!"

“Meow~Woo~!”

In an instant, the cat and the dog let out a shrill scream at the same time. Their hair stood up instantly. The cat arched its back, and the dog leaned forward to the ground, preparing to attack.

However, when the scarecrow suddenly appeared in front of them, they did not attack, but jumped back suddenly and ran away quickly.

In response, the scarecrow did not attack or chase, but just looked at it strangely, as if he was laughing eerily.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun finally felt relieved. The scarecrow did have a certain ability to distinguish.

Afterwards, Lu Jun called other villagers to conduct the same experiment.

As for what to do if you get hurt by the scarecrow during this process.

Nowadays, almost every citizen of the Celestial Empire possesses the status of heaven and earth. After so many years of practice and training, they are at least at the middle stage of Qi training. They have mastered the magical powers that come with the status of heaven and earth, and have even learned some other spells.

With the scarecrow's strength just starting to cultivate Qi and without any powerful magic powers, how could he possibly hurt the villagers who were on guard?

What's more, there are many other villagers around, and with the presence of the master Lu Jun, it is impossible for him to hurt anyone.

When everyone entered the farmland, the scarecrow did not change at all. It even seemed shy and became even quieter, just standing there quietly.

Only when everyone turns around and no longer looks at it, will it suddenly turn its body, face everyone, and stare at their every move.

However, it did not take further action.

Seeing this, Lu Jun gestured to everyone, indicating that they should proceed to the next experiment.

Everyone nodded, and immediately someone entered the farmland and trampled down the wheat stalks.

In an instant, the scarecrow's button eyes began to flash red. As the power flowed, it instantly appeared in front of the man who stepped on the wheat stalks, staring at him strangely.

Looking at the strange scarecrow in front of them, even though they had expected it, everyone was still frightened by it, and almost used all the magic spells they had prepared in their hands.

A strange mechanical sound suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Destroy the wheat field and leave!"

"Destroy the wheat fields, punishment!"

"Food thief, bad!"

Obviously, this is a scarecrow trying to drive away the people who destroyed the wheat field.

Everyone couldn't help but admire that Old Lu had really figured out something.

On the other side, seeing that the man did not move, the scarecrow's eyes glowed redder and he moved forward again, as if he wanted to drive him away.

The scarecrow didn't stop until the man withdrew his foot.

However, he kept staring at him.

When he stretched out his leg again, a black and red gas suddenly burst out from the scarecrow, and red straw shot out.

Faced with this situation, the man immediately let out a low growl.

"Barrier suit!"

In an instant, mysterious power swept through his whole body, and the defense of his clothes was enhanced to the limit. Even a strong Qi training expert at the same level would have most of his attacks blocked by it, not to mention the scarecrow in front of him.

However, the Scarecrow did not attack him directly.

The straw that shot out turned into something soft and pliable at this moment, instantly wrapping around the man in circles and binding him tightly.

Then, the black and red aura emanating from the scarecrow also enveloped the man, and a depressing, strange and gloomy force began to attack his mind.

At this moment, he seemed to have entered a strange world shrouded in darkness, yet with flashing red light, and all kinds of horrifying illusions appeared before his eyes.

Even though he was prepared after being reminded by Lu Jun, he couldn't help but feel fear at this moment.

In an instant, a large amount of negative energy was dissipated and then swallowed and absorbed by the scarecrow.

Stimulated by this feeling of fear, the man finally couldn't help it and instinctively burst out his own strength.

"Go!"

The explosion of supernatural power not only broke free from the illusion, but also fiercely expelled the scarecrow.

In an instant, a lot of straw on the scarecrow fell off.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun couldn't help but walked out quickly, complaining and trying to stop it.

"Hey hey hey

How come you are not frightened? What if you damage my scarecrow?"

After arriving in front of the scarecrow, Lu Jun couldn't help but check it carefully. After making sure that it was not seriously damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a series of tests and improvements, the final version of the scarecrow was finally completed.

He would only kill the birds and beasts that pecked and destroyed the crops, drive away the livestock that were infused with the aura of power, and humans who destroyed farmland.

The first time is to drive them away by intimidation, and the second time is to tie them up and drive them away forcibly. If the drive cannot be overcome, they will contact their owner.

After the new scarecrow was completely perfected, a bright yellow national destiny immediately descended and merged into Lu Jun's body. While increasing his strength, it also merged into his craftsman status, allowing him to break through to a new level.

Moreover, he who conducts research, opens up new paths, and ultimately perfects his research successfully can naturally be considered a craftsman.

Of course, the scarecrow he created is essentially Zhou Jie's rune array.

Energy gathering arrays, energy storage arrays, energy conversion arrays, etc., at most added some principles of the magical power of turning beans into soldiers.

However, the fact that it can integrate and transform it means that it has a deep understanding of its operating principles and has carried out in-depth evolution and expansion.

Naturally, it is not an exaggeration to call him a craftsman.

In fact, when the evolution of craftsman rules is completed, he has indeed reached the level of craftsman.

At this moment, Lu Jun only felt in a trance. In the darkness, his mind merged into a vast ocean of spiritual light. All kinds of rules and Taoism merged into his heart. The bottleneck of his cultivation was instantly broken, and he broke through to the realm of immortality.

On the other side, Zhou Jie, who was the Left Vice Minister of Works, and Wang Chao, all looked in his direction.

A special energy connection instantly merged into the anchor point connecting Zhou Jie and the sea of spiritual power.

In an instant, he felt that his connection with the sea of spiritual power became closer and clearer.

At the same time, he could also feel that Lu Jun could use the anchor point that connected him to the sea of spiritual power to mobilize the spiritual power in the sea of spiritual power like him, pull the power of rules, and enlighten the spirituality of created objects.

However, if he disagrees, it can be cut off directly.

Wang Chao saw it more clearly. The connection between Lu Jun and the Sea of Spiritual Power was indeed mostly linked to Zhou Jie's anchor point, but there was also a part that was vaguely separated from Zhou Jie's anchor point.

After a slight perception, Wang Chao looked thoughtful.

It turns out that it is connected to the sea of spiritual power. All later comers who use the power and skills of the pioneers must eventually rely on the power of the pioneers to be connected to the sea of spiritual power.

During this process, the strength and skills of the latecomers will complement the pioneers and strengthen their connection with the sea of spiritual power.

However, as long as they have their own thoughts and ideas, they will naturally establish a connection with the sea of spiritual power.

Once they have perfected their own thoughts and ideas, they will be able to completely break away from the forerunners and become independent from the forerunners' anchor points.

Of course, the anchor links that have been broadened and strengthened for the pioneers will not be shrunk or weakened.
