National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

"This puppet holds within it twice the immense divine power you will possess in this lifetime...in other words, twice the power you will possess at your peak in the future." The incarnation of Heavenly Dao lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze hidden beneath his eyelids. His voice was low yet clear, "Once you have fully integrated this power with your own, you will be able to wield triple the divine power to fend off your enemies, enough to overcome the numerous disasters lurking on the perilous road ahead."

After a brief pause, the incarnation of Heavenly Dao continued, "You only need to use your mind as a guide to connect closely with it, allowing you to control it as you wish."

Ji Lingguang took a deep breath upon hearing this, suppressing his inner shock and uneasiness. He slowly reached out his hand, his movement seemingly carrying a thousand pounds of weight, and with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, he slowly touched the puppet emitting a mysterious aura.

The moment his fingertips touched the puppet, a force as powerful as thunder flowed along his arm and surged into his body like a surging tide.

In an instant, he and the puppet seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, building an invisible yet indestructible bridge.

For some reason, Ji Lingguang felt an irrepressible joy in his heart. This feeling was both strange and familiar. At this moment, he was like an innocent child, with a bright smile on his face.

He subconsciously moved his fingers slightly, and to his amazement, the puppet actually performed the exact same movement at the same instant. Its movements were smooth and natural, without any hindrance, as if the two were a natural and integrated whole, their minds connected and indistinguishable.

"Very good." Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Incarnation's eyes flashed with a subtle glint of approval, and his voice became more certain. "Now, you have mastered the basic method of controlling this puppet. Next, you should immediately set off for the Jiang and Ren families."

Ji Lingguang looked solemn, nodded seriously, and said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to live up to your trust, but..." When the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.

"Remember, no matter what, you have the power of Heaven behind you to support you." The incarnation of Heaven looked deep, as if he could see through Ji Lingguang's thoughts. "If you encounter a crisis, just call on this puppet, and it will appear immediately to protect you."

After he finished speaking, the light around the incarnation of Heaven slowly dimmed. In just ten breaths, as the light completely dissipated, the figure completely sank into the endless darkness and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared here before.

Ji Lingguang stared at the direction where the Heavenly Dao incarnation had disappeared, standing there for a long time. Only after regaining consciousness did he begin to look around. All he saw was a dead silence and desolation. A howling wind blew past, making a series of shrill noises, as if the ancient vengeful spirits were wailing.

This is no longer the Yao family's ancestral hall, it is clearly a vast and lifeless empty land!

He subconsciously looked up into the distance, but at the end of the void, he suddenly saw the mansions of the Jiang and Ren families seemed to be looming in a layer of misty gauze.

In the dim light, the towering building resembled a dormant giant beast, emitting a mysterious and dangerous aura. The outline of the mansion was sometimes clear, sometimes blurred in the hazy light, as if silently calling him, and as if it concealed endless dangers, waiting for him to step into it.

Ji Lingguang took a deep breath and used his mind to control the puppet standing quietly in front of him and absorb it into his body. When he raised his eyes again, they were calm.

In an instant, his figure was like a stream of light, flashing through the void and rushing towards the direction of the Jiang family's old house like lightning.

But after a short while, he stepped out of the void and arrived at the Jiang family's old house.

The Jiang family, once one of the four most powerful families in the Grey World, welcomed numerous guests and was a bustling scene almost daily. But now, the place was eerily quiet, as if time had stood still. The entire mansion resembled a cursed, silent city, permeated by a chilling, eerie atmosphere...

Ji Lingguang held his breath and carefully walked into the backyard. His eyes were instantly drawn to an ancient well in the corner. This ancient well was like the deep eyes of the earth, silently gazing at everything in the world.

There was an extremely strange aura around the wellhead, as if the grievances of countless wronged souls had gathered here, making people shudder. The closer they got, the more they seemed to feel an invisible oppressive force surging from all directions.

Ji Lingguang slowly approached the ancient well, holding the sword tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force. He glanced around vigilantly, not missing any movement.

At this moment, a low and powerful roar suddenly came from the ancient well, as if a demon that had been sleeping for thousands of years was suddenly awakened, with endless anger and murderous intent.

Immediately afterwards, a force of resentment as thick as ink gushed out from the bottom of the well like a surging tide, instantly enveloping Ji Lingguang completely.

In this inky fog, Ji Lingguang's vision was blocked, and he could only vaguely see countless hideous and distorted faces, which were baring their fangs and claws, making creepy roars, and rushing towards him viciously.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. Without thinking, he quickly drew out his sword, turned his wrist, and swung out a series of extremely sharp sword energy, trying to use the sword energy to disperse the strange black fog.

However, after controlling the puppet, his five senses were even more heightened than before. In the blink of an eye, he detected a hint of the aura of extraterrestrial forces from the black mist... They ignored his attacks and counterattacked with even greater force, showing no sign of retreat. These extraterrestrial forces... were not something he could defeat at his current level.

Ji Lingguang felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain, and his breathing became rapid. Every time he swung his sword, he consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved -

The puppet suddenly appeared on the battlefield, with light shining all around it. A majestic and powerful force raged out from the puppet's body, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the power of resentment.

Under the powerful force released by the puppet, Ji Lingguang felt the pressure suddenly ease, and gradually gained the upper hand in this power confrontation. The power of resentment began to be unable to resist and slowly dissipated. Those hideous faces also gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Just as the power of resentment completely dissipated, a figure suddenly appeared under the eaves not far away like a ghost.

When Ji Lingguang looked closely, he realized that the thin figure was his childhood friend whom he had not seen for many years.

At this moment, he was wearing a black robe, his figure was a little thin, and he seemed to be trembling slightly because of anger. His face was tense, and his eyes were burning with fierce hatred. He stared straight at Ji Lingguang.

Jiang Xinian gritted his teeth and roared, enunciating each word: "Back then, I went to great lengths, even making a deal with the Lord of Light, to get you thrown to the First Continent. Now... why are you coming back?"

When Ji Lingguang saw Jiang Xinian's appearance, his heart suddenly tightened, and the past friendship surged into his heart like a tide, but the cold gaze of the man in front of him pulled him back to reality.
