On the high platform.

After the failure of the Companion Moon Sword.

Si Boyun tentatively tried other methods like talismans and arrays.

The result was still a failure.

As such, just like that.

One person and a glowing floating guide map were quietly opposing each other, silently watching the iron chains accumulating more and more on the ground.

It's quite interesting, in fact.

At this point, Si Boyun was not as tense as before.

He first took some talismans in his hand, then scrutinized that chain.

This chain was about the thickness of a baby's arm and appeared to be made from some refined iron.

Perhaps due to aging, the surface of the chain was quite decayed and rusted.

However, if you pay close attention, you can still see some engraved patterns and symbols.

Si Boyun did not recognize the semantics of these symbols; they were clearly ancient characters.

But he had seen some of them on the ruins outside the underground cave, and they didn't seem to be mere decorations.

The speed at which the iron chains were being pulled out was fast, as if there were invisible hands pulling them. Group after group was drawn out, falling to the ground.

If this obviously counter-Newton scene happened locally, many would definitely believe it was a reverse playback challenging intelligence.

Clatter, clatter—

In less than fifteen minutes.

The length of the iron chains 'flowing' out of the cave already extended at least several hundred meters, accumulating into a small iron mountain on the ground.

Another fifteen minutes passed.

The speed at which the chains were flowing out gradually slowed, and the noise became deeper.

Obviously.

Something underground was about to emerge.

Si Boyun's gaze was fixed tightly on the cave entrance. Would it be a human? A demon beast? Or some other entity?

Friend or foe, or a neutral benevolent acquaintance?

Suddenly, a sound of heavy objects colliding came from deep within the tunnel.

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

After a moment, a rectangular object was slowly dragged out from the cave entrance.

It was a coffin.

Indeed.

A coffin!

Its length was at least five or six meters, akin to the extended Cadillac Sleepy Joe sat in last week. If it were transported back home, it might be used within two years.

And unlike the common vermilion coffins in the Damo Realm.

This coffin was entirely silver, continually shimmering with a special brilliance.

When this coffin reached the front of the cave entrance, it suddenly halted its advance.

The front end corner fitted seamlessly with the junction of the cave entrance, as if some program was controlling it.

At the same time.

The previously airborne glowing guide map, as if receiving a command, swiftly flew towards the coffin.

Just as the guide map hovered above the cave entrance, an anomaly occurred.

Suddenly, a withered arm reached out from the coffin, lightly pinching the guide map between its index and middle fingers.

Moments later.

A tall figure emerged from it.

This was a skeletal frame nearly four meters tall, with black bones on the left and white on the right.

Only a small portion of the right hand holding the guide map had flesh, and the skull was covered in marks akin to acid erosion.

This skeleton held the guide map in one hand and dragged a thinner chain with the other.

Clattering as it walked to the cave entrance, staring at Si Boyun from afar.

After several breaths.

The skeleton tilted its head slightly, and in perfect Damo language, it blurted out:

"...a new cultivator?"

Si Boyun did not dwell on why a skeleton without vocal cords could make sounds. He gripped the Heaven Ascension Tome a bit tighter and said solemnly:

"May I ask who you are?"

The skeleton did not answer his question. Its eyes flickered for a moment, then continued to ask:

"What happened to the last generation of Pupa Slave? Is he dead?"

"Pupa Slave?"

Upon hearing this term, Si Boyun immediately felt some ominous premonitions.

However, considering the other party had not shown any obvious hostility for the time being, Si Boyun honestly replied:

"I presume you mean Old Monster Duan? He recently perished in the Demon Realm, and we are still investigating the exact cause of death."

"Demon Realm?"

Although the skeleton lacked facial expressions, it clearly hesitated at the moment:

"Why did he go there so early.... wait, if the Pupa Slave is dead, how did you get that contract paper?"

Si Boyun blinked, feeling a bit bewildered:

"We naturally found it in his child's storage pouch."

"His child also went to the Demon Realm?"

"No, he stayed in the Damo Realm."

"That's impossible!"

The skeleton adamantly declared:

"Before the Pupa Slave's demise, the contract paper must be linked to his mind. Even if separated by countless miles, it would transmit to his side...."

But as he spoke, the skeleton seemed to realize something:

"Wait, could it be....."

This matter concerned Old Monster Duan's secrets, seeing the skeleton seemingly having an epiphany, despite the slightly unusual circumstances, Si Boyun couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be what?"

Perhaps due to being stuck inside the coffin for too long without anyone to chat with, this time the skeleton didn't treat Si Boyun as transparent.

Instead, it uttered a term with a clattering mouth:

"God Seed!"

Hearing this, Si Boyun was initially stunned, then his pupils intensely shook!

God Seed.

This is a concept familiar to any cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.

For cultivators, divine sense is a crucial attribute.

The strength of divine sense not only impacts the range you can explore.

It also affects the refinement and deployment of magical artifacts and techniques.

Moreover, when a cultivator's realm breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage, divine sense can combine with the Nascent Soul, truly reaching the concept related to the soul.

At that time, provided there are enough resources and cultivation techniques, the Nascent Soul Stage can even 'backup' an entirely new self.

This is the God Seed.

The God Seed differs from the 'Second Primordial Spirit' in native Xianxia novels.

It does not have a real solid form and cannot cultivate on its own, merely a kind of 'data' concept.

In other words, it needs a carrier.

Just like how local data needs to be imported into a phone or tablet to be used, it cannot be used in isolation.

The carriers used by Nascent Soul Great Cultivators are typically puppets or mechanisms, which upon fusion equate to having a small clone that can provide some assistance.

In terms of combat power, it can wield roughly one to two tenths of one's own cultivation level.

However, these puppets require high standards, needing at least a third-tier or above to carry a God Seed.

Additionally, since the God Seed and the original divine sense are originally one.

Therefore, the magical artifacts, talismans, and even spirit beasts of the original can be fully controlled by the God Seed.

Similar to magical artifacts, the contract paper in the skeleton's hand functions based on divine sense.

Thus, if the God Seed holds this contract paper, naturally it would not return to the original's side.

Similarly.

Due to the contract paper ultimately being a medium-like item with relatively rigid logic.

Therefore, if a special situation arises—for instance, the original uses some means and both the God Seed and original perish simultaneously.

It might very well determine that this person is dead.

In other words...

Old Monster Duan, transformed his only son Duan Yun...

Into a puppet!

Unfortunately, the rabbits are not present at the moment and are unaware of this matter.

Otherwise, they would likely exclaim:

First comes Mo Peidong, then Old Monster Duan.

Indeed a love as erasing as cutting off...

Except this eraser directly wipes out the account.
