God of Pets

Chapter 602 The Paper Doll's Contempt

The River God stared at the paper figure in disbelief. He had thought that the paper figure only possessed some soul-summoning magic.

The Soul Returning Technique he used was actually a soul self-destruction technique, rendering the Soul Summoning Technique useless in this situation.

But now, he felt that his soul, along with the Soul Returning Technique, was being suppressed by an inexplicable force, making him completely unable to move.

The Soul Returning Technique, which should have been unleashed, remained frozen in this state of impending explosion, neither detonating nor dissipating, as if time itself had stood still.

However, He Bo himself knew very well that it was not that time had frozen, but that the power of this paper figure had completely controlled the power of the soul. He had never seen or heard of such a power of the soul.

"How could there be such a terrifying soul-type pet..." River God was both angry and desperate. He originally had the absolute initiative and advantage. At the very least, he could kick Chen Guan out of the Imperial Palace.

But now his soul has left his body, he no longer has a physical body, and he no longer has the means to kick Chen Guan out of the imperial palace.

"Could it be... that generations have really changed..." An indescribable bitterness flashed through the River God's heart.

He was once a figure who stirred up the world, a being capable of reaching the pinnacle of human power, but unexpectedly he has fallen to such a state.

Looking back, he was full of vigor and ambition, carrying the Mountain-Splitting Axe, the Water-Avoiding Sword Pill, and the Mountain and River Map, helping the Great Xia King to open up the Milky Way, occupy a place in the Great Cave Heaven, achieve the throne of the Great Xia King, and create a prosperous era for generations. How glorious that was!

But now, he has been driven to this point by a mere level 31 human cultivator, which has made him so angry that he almost wants to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, there's nothing he can do now; he's no longer in control of his own destiny.

"River God, answer whatever I ask. If I'm pleased, saving your life won't be difficult." Chen Guan's eyes were cold, but he was very happy inside. After raising him for so long, the paper figure had finally not let him down.

"You...are not...qualified..." The River God, already determined to die, was no longer willing to compromise and let out a soul-stirring roar.

"If you don't cooperate, I'll kill Ma Xiaolong when I go out later." When bribery failed, Chen Guan resorted to threats.

Hebo hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that if Chen Guan wanted to kill Ma Xiaolong, it would be useless even if he submitted, he still couldn't let go of the matter.

Chen Guan was secretly pleased to see the River God wavering.

Just as he was about to ask something, he saw the paper figure's fingers twitch slightly, and the River God was instantly annihilated, turning into ghostly energy that was absorbed and digested by the paper figure, disappearing in an instant.

"No, I haven't finished asking yet. Can't we wait a while before eating?" Chen Guan was immediately annoyed. He still had many things he wanted to ask the River God, and the paper figure had already killed his soul. This was too impatient.

The paper figure did not answer, but opened its eyes, shooting out two beams of light that seemed to come from the netherworld.

The two beams of light met in the air, forming a light and shadow effect similar to a virtual image, and then Chen Guan saw some strange scenes.

This is a first-person perspective view, showing everything he has seen and heard since birth.

The first time I opened my eyes to see the world, the first human I saw, the first time I cried, the first time I laughed, the first time I was held, the first time I rolled over, the first time I crawled, the first time I called out "Mama"...

The light and shadow are like a revolving lantern of a person's life, replaying everything he has experienced in his life.

"This...this is the River God's..." Chen Guan asked, looking at the paper figure with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Although the light and shadow were playing at an accelerated pace, life is so long that Chen watched for quite a while, and all he saw was that the person had learned to crawl. The paper figure nodded slightly, but the eerie light shooting from its eyes did not move with its head.

"You read its memories? Can you play them back at any time?" Chen Guan was overjoyed; the paper figure was more useful than he had imagined.

The paper figure first shook its head, its face revealing a contemptuous and disdainful look. After giving Chen Guan a disdainful glance, it nodded again.

Chen Guan immediately understood. The paper figure meant that its ability wasn't some trivial trick like reading memories, and that Chen Guan's words were an insult to it.

As for playback, that's definitely possible, which is why the paper man nodded.

"Paper Man, Paper Man, if you have such abilities, why didn't you say so sooner? Do you know how I've been these past few years? If I had known you had such abilities, would I have wasted so much time talking to him?" Chen Guan was speechless.

Now is not the time to watch the River God's life unfold like a revolving lantern. Chen Guan first had the paper figure stop using its supernatural powers and then searched the imperial palace to see if he could find anything useful.

The River God is not a deity; he cannot conjure those treasures out of thin air.

There must be a treasure trove left by the Great Xia King in the imperial palace. Once Chen Guan finds the treasure trove, he will have another asset, bringing him one step closer to establishing his own power.

"Where is it?" Chen Guan released his secret spirit to search for the enormous imperial palace.

The underground is a shattered landscape, and the sky is filled with broken sun, moon and stars. Although these are miniature landscapes, they are actually quite large.

puff!
Ghost Eye suddenly vomited, and some things came out of its mouth.

"It must be some undigested stuff from the River God's body." Upon closer inspection, Chen Guan discovered that what the Ghost Eye spat out were actually several small golden cauldrons.

Those small golden cauldrons were all different in shape, and it was easy to tell that they were the other ones among the Nine Cauldrons.

Chen Guan counted them; there were seven in total. Excluding the two that Chu Kuangsheng and Bu Changning had taken, the remaining seven of the Nine Cauldrons of Shenzhou were all here.

Chen Guan held the small cauldrons in his hands and studied them for a while, confirming that the River God's last words about the Divine Cauldron were not false.

These Nine Tripods are not natural treasures, but rather man-made artifacts.

Therefore, we can't see their information at all; we can only explore their abilities and uses in actual combat.

Chen Guan wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he had a paper figure that could replay the life of the River God, and then he would naturally be able to see the detailed instructions on how to use the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

After putting away the Nine Provinces Cauldron, Chen Guan sent Ghost Eye to search for it as well.

Ghost Eye, Rouge, Paper Doll, Warring States Period, and Mingfei were all summoned by Chen Guan to search for the Great Xia King's treasure that might be located here.

If it weren't for the limited number of summonable pets, Chen Guan would have loved to summon an entire pet army and turn this place upside down.

Consort Ming looked around and murmured, "This imperial palace is in harmony with the mysteries of heaven and earth. Some of the substances it contains are things that only exist in the Great Cave Heaven. Who would have built such a magnificent imperial palace in the Cave Heaven?"

"Have you ever heard of the King of Great Xia?" Chen Guan asked thoughtfully.
