Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Mysterious Puppet Master vs. Ruthless Female Antagonist (Part 1)

Gu Shengyin returned to the Pure White Space.

This place was no longer just the Pure White Space; she had used her power to create houses, land, and mountain springs here.

It was practically a new world.

There was even a small green figure flitting about among the spring and woods.

It was that Little Green Bird.

Seeing Gu Shengyin open her eyes, the Little Green Bird seemed very happy and flew over.

Gu Shengyin spread her hands, allowing the Little Green Bird to perch on her palm and peck a couple of times with its small, crimson beak.

Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but laugh: "I have nothing here for you to eat."

After sending the bird away, Gu Shengyin spoke to the system: "Let’s go to the next task world."

The system was surprised: "Host, aren’t you going to give it a try?"

Gu Shengyin shook her head: "I have self-awareness. With the power I’ve gained now, I can only survive in the space rift for a short distance. Truly breaking free is not easy."

The system was silent.

It just hadn’t expected the host to analyze this so calmly.

Regarding space rifts, the system knew much more than the host, and it also knew that with the host’s current abilities, it was indeed far from enough.

"Begin transmitting to the next world then."

"Understood, host."

Gu Shengyin had now grown very accustomed to the dizziness that occurred during world transmissions.

She calmly opened her eyes and was momentarily stunned by the sight that filled the room.

It was a large and bright room.

In her room, it was filled densely with things—there were ordinary animals, oddly-shaped creatures, and even a few people.

What is this situation?

"Begin story transmission," the system’s voice resonated in a timely manner.

Gu Shengyin closed her eyes, feeling the information being conveyed by the system.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a trace of curiosity in her gaze.

She slowly stood up, and only then did she notice that she was wearing a large, cloak-like black robe, with its hem extending to the floor.

Walking in front of those "animals," Gu Shengyin extended her hand.

The touch was cold and hard—these things weren’t living beings at all.

Based on the storyline just transmitted by the system, Gu Shengyin knew that the original host, Di Yin, was a Puppet Master.

In modern society, such a profession as a Puppet Master was extremely rare, at least in Di Yin’s understanding, she had never seen one before.

Di Yin did not know her family; she was adopted by her master, who was also a Puppet Master, raised her, and taught her the Puppetry Technique.

Then, when she was twelve, that always gloomy old lady lost her vitality.

Di Yin had always lived isolated within this rarely visited mountain area, and her puppets would hunt for her, sustaining her life.

There were also some who, through unknown means, learned of her presence, visited her, requested her to do things, and paid her generous rewards.

Lacking any concept of morality, Di Yin acted according to her heart. She had both saved lives and taken them, seen by those few who knew of her as someone extremely eccentric and bizarre.

Di Yin did not know what kind of abilities she possessed, but after Gu Shengyin sensed it, she drew a cold breath.

This body, according to True Cultivation World’s terminology, was that of a Yin Woman born at Midnight of a Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, and Yin Time.

With such a constitution, it was easiest to gather Extreme Yin Force; cultivating certain sinister arts could result in achievements unimaginable to ordinary people.
