Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. Doll-Making Master Johnny?

The refined copper doll Battle Angel – Valkyrie was a summoned creature obtained in the fourth major volume. Back then, the Valkyrie had been extremely powerful and could solo a boss.

But as the game progressed, the epic+ grade Valkyrie had gradually fallen behind the times, becoming merely a utility holder for the Abyss Lantern and even a self-propelled base for carrying the Starlight Cage.

Never mind the Valkyrie. Even the legendary+ grade great yokai Nine-Tailed Fox had slowly begun to show signs of being phased out.

It was not that these summoned beasts were too weak. It was that Lin Xun’s growth in strength was simply too fast.

He had gone from the third major volume to the seventh, only experiencing five proper dungeon worlds in total.

Meanwhile, ordinary Apostles often had to complete more than ten, even dozens of dungeons on the same difficulty before they could be promoted to the next difficulty tier. In terms of real-world time, the fast ones needed a year or two. The slow ones could take three to five years.

If one’s natural talent was not sufficient and they got stuck in a deadlock of repeated failure, they might never again see any hope of promotion for the rest of their life.

Compared to other Apostles, Lin Xun’s promotion speed was basically like riding a rocket.

Therefore, it was not the Valkyrie that had failed to keep up. It was her master who had raced ahead on the path of becoming stronger, leaving her no hope of catching up at all…

“Rather than making a new doll, it would be better to strengthen the Valkyrie to the limit…”

“After all, the Valkyrie has been with me for so long that she has basically become my shape. Maybe she has no great merits, but she has at least suffered enough…”

Faced with the temptation of upgrading the Valkyrie, Lin Xun could not hold himself back and shamelessly pressed the ‘Yes’ option.

[Seeing you nod and accept the token, Coleman is overjoyed. It pats its chest and guarantees…]

[This Doll-Making Master Johnny once owed it a huge favor. As long as the Envoy shows up with the token, Johnny will not take a single coin and will use the best materials to make a doll for you…]

[Having finished saying this, it looks at you with great anticipation. It has already fulfilled its obligation, so it should now be allowed to enjoy the right to enlightenment.]

Lin Xun felt a bit awkward.

This story character had treated him rather well. To freeload such a valuable token from him felt a bit shameless.

But enlightenment… The Servant of Knowledge had not told him what the content of the revelation was in the first place, and he very much wanted to know it himself…

Lin Xun racked his brain, trying to use scientific knowledge from another world to provide Coleman with a great revelation from the true Lord.

[You ponder for a long time, then slowly begin to speak under Coleman’s expectant gaze…]

[Next, you will grant it a sacred and great enlightenment.]

[But you will only say the content of this revelation once. How much it can gain from that content depends entirely on how devout its faith is…]

[You plan ahead and leave yourself some leeway. If the enlightenment fails, it will not be your fault but the result of its insufficient devotion.]

[Coleman looks extremely solemn and keeps nodding as it pricks up its ears, indicating that it is ready.]

[You cough twice and suddenly ask: In Master Coleman’s view, what is the world made of?]

[Without thinking, Coleman replies that all things in the world are made of the four elements ‘air, water, earth, and fire’, with each element representing a combination of two basic properties. The four basic properties are dry, wet, cold, and hot.]

[Combining two properties yields a basic element. For example, earth is formed from dry and cold, water from wet and cold, air from wet and hot, and fire from dry and hot.]

[And everything in the world is formed by first combining the basic properties into basic elements, then having the basic elements interact with one another to create different substances and phenomena.]

[Device manufacturing… no, not just device manufacturing, but doll manufacturing and all crafts, in essence, are all about changing the nature of substances by mastering and balancing these basic elements…]

[Wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.]

[Before Coleman can finish, you interrupt it.]

[You raise your head, your gaze seemingly piercing the workshop’s dome, crossing the endless starry sky, and reaching that distant blue planet…]

[All things in the world are indeed made up of various basic elements, but there are far more than four basic elements. According to the true Lord’s analysis, there are as many as one hundred and eighteen basic elements that make up all things in the world!]

[These one hundred and eighteen basic elements are extremely tiny particles, invisible and intangible, yet they are around people at every moment.]

[As for the basic properties that make up the one hundred and eighteen elements, the true Lord has analyzed them and named them ‘elementary particles’. So far, the true Lord has already deduced sixty-two kinds of elementary particles that form atoms… oh no, form elements!]

[Coleman is dumbfounded. What you say overturns everything it has known since birth and overturns the foundational underpinnings of the device crafting art.]

[If what you say is true, then the arts and all principles it has known will have to be completely rebuilt from the ground up…]

[Coleman’s body trembles and it speaks with quivering lips, its eyes full of extreme fear of the unknown…]

[It asks respectfully: may I dare inquire, True God’s Envoy, what exactly are these basic elements and elementary particles?]

[You answer without hesitation: the one hundred and eighteen basic elements are hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus…]

[And the sixty-two elementary particles are twelve leptons, thirty-six quark particles, and fourteen gauge bosons. These particles each have positive and negative forms, respectively called the electron, the positron…]

[Most of these sixty-two elementary particles are massless, existing as forms of pure energy. Under the effect of certain special forces, they become entangled and spin together, and then with the transmission and mediation of some bosons, these elementary particles form basic elements and are thereby endowed with mass…]

[You speak at length, expounding the scientific theories of another world with eloquence.]

[By the time you finish, Coleman has already fallen into a dazed state. Its eyes are vacant as it mutters: Device crafting art is gone, device crafting art is gone…]

[Coleman seems to have been driven mad. It acts as though it cannot see you at all, picking up one refined copper part after another and beginning to reforge, process, and assemble on its own.]

[But after working busily for half a day, what it ends up with are all crooked devices that cannot even be started up, let alone function properly.]

[Coleman says in horror that this is impossible. The true Lord’s analysis cannot be wrong, so why can it not exceed its original level of skill by following this revelation? Why does even the basic structure come out wrong?]

[It keeps experimenting and even forgets that you are there.]

[Will you take this chance to quietly slip away?]

Lin Xun’s mouth twitched again. What he had said was indeed accurate, basic science, the great revelation born from the wisdom of countless scientists.

Why was it that basic science did not work here for Coleman, while wind, fire, water, and earth elemental theory was able to support all crafts instead?

“Could it be that the fundamental operating rules of each chapter’s world are different?”

“Damn it, does this mean I’ve led Coleman down the wrong path?”

[Just then, countless flickering chaotic characters appear out of thin air in a corner of the workshop!]

[The characters gradually piece together, forming a huge and ferocious beast.]

[The beast is completely composed of chaotic characters. The characters keep trembling and shifting shape. Just looking directly at the beast, you feel disorder and chaos.]

[You have discovered the Beast of Disordered Knowledge!]
