Joking aside, who would refuse such treatment from Lin Qian?
These people themselves are those who have already died. How could they possibly give up such conditions and opportunities?
Becoming a puppet soul—it indeed carries a sense of insult.
However, they are very clear that Lin Qian is definitely not someone who insults others.
Moreover, upon hearing Wudi's words, they understand why Lin Qian made this request.
Lin Qian's request is simply to leverage their power.
"Haha, of course, we agreed!" Luo Han laughed heartily toward Lin Qian, "Looks like we don't need to annihilate ourselves."
They are merely residual souls, and the endless task of waiting has been completely completed. They would naturally choose self-annihilation.
But Lin Qian suddenly proposed this request along with a solution; how could they disagree?
After agreeing, Lin Qian immediately ordered Xuanhuan Star to begin crafting the puppet bodies with full effort.
It's worth knowing that these residual souls, in the Ancient Era, were all renowned beings.
Altogether, the number of residual souls is about several hundred million.
However, with the enhancement of puppet bodies, when their realm is restored, it would likely only reach Saint Realm or low-level Mixed Element Realm, with very few reaching high-level.
It's possible their realm combat power is even weaker than that of the current beings.
Their true value, however, does not lie in their realm but in their tremendous combat experience.
They previously fought on the front line against these invaders from other Chaos Universe cultivation civilizations.
Even Luo Han, Yuan Chu, and other young generations battled against these Netherworld Clan guys for tens of thousands of years before being captured.
As for many of the other residual souls, during the Ancient Era, they were famous warlords, and they clearly understood what kind of races and weaknesses these invaders from other Chaos Universe civilizations had.
Lin Qian currently lacks precisely the knowledge about these invaders from other Chaos Universe civilizations.
In such an environment, his main battle opponents were the Netherworld Clan.
His encounters with other Chaos Universe cultivation civilizations were very few.
Moreover, even though he possesses considerable experience, others in the Huaxia Empire do not have this wealth of combat experience.
With the presence of these puppet bodies of residual souls, they can serve as instructors, aides, and during battle act as officers to impart their experience.
At the rear, they can also guide many people, sharing their knowledge.
Not only regarding knowledge of other Chaos Universe cultivation civilizations, but also comprehending the fragmented emergence of Ancient and Ancient Times cultures.
Their existence will be a precious asset to the Huaxia Empire.
Nearly a thousand years passed before the puppet bodies were completed, allowing the remnants to enter them.
Once they fully entered the puppet bodies, Lin Qian included them all into Xuanhuan Star, including Sun Wukong and others.
Boom!
Once everything was ready, a thunderous roar erupted in the Void Hall. Heaven and earth turned upside down, waves of space transmitted outward, and their figures vanished abruptly from the hall.
When they reappeared, they were already standing on the ruins of an ancient city.
Yuan City!
Entered the entrance to the peculiar environment, the old city streets seemed to narrate ancient history.
Before Lin Qian, Lin Ancestor, and Ye Xuanyan's eyes lay a scene of ruins and decay.
Back then, when entering the city, it was a vivid scene within.
Illusion merging with reality, the uncertain situation left Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan in a daze.
"Two millennia have passed, and I wonder how the Huaxia Empire developed," Lin Ancestor suddenly spoke.
Ye Xuanyan showed a look of expectation on his face, knowing well the astonishing speed of Huaxia Empire's development.
Two thousand years can change a great deal.
However, Lin Qian was very aware of the Huaxia Empire's development status.
"Now, the average realm in the Nine Regions has reached Dao Realm!" Lin Qian's words nearly made Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan stumble in disbelief.
"Qianer, you aren't joking, are you?" Lin Ancestor thought Lin Qian must be jesting.
An average realm at Dao Realm—what concept is this? Even the Upper Realm of Immortals cannot achieve this height.
"After cultivating so many resources and systematic growth paths, if Huaxia Empire still can't achieve this, then we aren't strong enough," Lin Qian chuckled, looking at his grandfather and Ye Xuanyan.
The two looked at each other, reflecting on the wonders of Huaxia Empire, realizing that such achievements were indeed natural.
Yet, they were still unable to comprehend fully.
"Let's head back then." Lin Qian said with a smile, vanishing from the spot before the two realized he had left.
Once Lin Qian disappeared, Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan displayed shock.
Ye Xuanyan looked at Lin Ancestor: "Your grandson's realm seems to have improved again. Mixed Element Saint, don't know when we can reach such a realm."
"Seems soon!" Lin Ancestor suddenly said, looking up, as he already had a revelation.
Ye Xuanyan paused, shut his eyes, reopening them with a nod: "Indeed, I've begun to perceive something beyond."
Their return route turned into a discussion; Lin Qian's changes likely triggered this situation.
As the Controller, he represented a breakthrough to a limit; in the past, this Chaos Universe lacked a Controller to produce Mixed Element Saints, with only half-step Chaos Saints emerging.
But now, with Lin Qian becoming a Controller, this situation is entirely broken by him.
This Chaos Universe, due to Lin Qian's return as Controller, opens a new epoch.
