"Ireallywanttoknowwhocompletedsuchadesign."
Clearly,thisisnotsomethingthathumanscancreate."YunXiexpressedsincereadmirationforthis"facelessgod.
Thewholeartworkwaswovenfromasingle"thread."ComparedtohisbarelycompletedWhiteMoon,whichrequiredcountlesspreciousmaterials,thelevelofthisartworkwasbeyondwhathismediocrepuppetmakerskillscouldcomprehend.
Moreover,thehiddenpowerinsidethispuppetwasindescribable.
"Ain,doyouknowhowtoactivateit?"Onceagain,YunXiaskedthesupposedownerofthispuppet.

"So...letmetry."Followingsomeinformationhesensedinthedragonegg,YunXireachedouthishand.
First,hepressedthesmallcirclesonthepuppet’sfacethatrepresenteditseyes,buttherewasnoresponse.
Then,hepressedthebigcirclethatrepresenteditsmouth,butstillnoresponse.
Huh,isn’titsupposedtobehere?YunXithoughthehadfoundtherightanswer,butitseemedthattheactivationmethodleftbythepuppetmakerwasnotthatsimpleafterall.

"Pafu!"
"Pafu!"
Pafu,nestledinYunXi’schest,seemedtobeexceptionallyexcited,constantlymakingitsuniquecry,asifremindingYunXiofsomething.
Yes,that’sit,keepgoing.
There,here,don’tmissasingleplace.

WhenYunXi’sfingertipstouchedandcaressedeverypartofthefacelesspuppet’sbody,notmissingeventhetiniestdetail,ahiddensettingwasfulfilled.
JustlikewhatAdleyexperiencedbackthen.

"Ahahahahah,hereitcomesagain!"Adleyheldontohersister’sbodyanddidn’tdaretoletgo.

"So,thisistheactualform."YunXilookedatthisworldwovenwithcountlesssilverthreads,sensingthegrandioseworkoftheancientpuppetmaker.
Theexternalpuppetsarejustappearances;thetrueessenceofthepowerhefeelsisactuallyhere,inthisworldwovenbycountlesssilverthreads.

"This...isreally..."Lookingatthesilverworldaroundher,Ainwasspeechless.
So,inherfamily’sundergroundwarehouse,therereallyexistedafacelessevilgod,abletotakechildrentoanotherspace.
Bytheway,whydidn’tsheremember?
Thispuppet,thatlooksabitstrange,actuallybelongedtomorethanoneownerofthedivineeratower!
Moreover,ithasbeenownedbyeverygeneration.
Inherslightlyambiguousmemory,thispuppethadappearedonherbedsidebefore.Itscraftsmanshipwassopoorcomparedtootherpuppetsthatshehadalmostforgottenitsexistence.
ItseemsthatwhenAdleywaslittle,thispuppetalsoappearedonherbedside.
No,everygenerationofdivineeraTowerMastershashadthispuppetbytheirbedside.
Whydidshetellthatlie?
Thefacelessgod,notbelongingtothesceneryofthisworld.
Isthatreallyjustherdarkhistory?
