But she also received no feedback.
She thought for a moment, then molded another yellow dirt dog.
The dog’s name was Laifu, a pet Gu Yu had in her previous life, accompanying her from the age of ten to twenty-five, until one night, it quietly left her.
“Laifu had a matchmaker’s mole on each side of his face, and one of his ears was slightly torn, bitten during a fight with the neighbor’s Blackie… Done.”
The sight of the big yellow dog from her memories appearing before her again made Gu Yu quite mournful.
She couldn't go back, in every sense of the word.
This time, Gu Yu once again felt her energy being drained, Energy -30.
However, compared to the multiple times she was drained dry when making the Jing Liu statue, the big yellow dog required much less.
Gu Yu roughly estimated that she could make three in one go, then lie down peacefully, unable to care for herself.
“Woof!” The palm-sized big yellow dog statue seemed to be injected with a soul, wagging its tail and panting as it circled Gu Yu’s hand.
“Good doggy, woof woof woof…”
Gu Yu skillfully played with and petted the dog, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the Jing Liu statue enshrined on the incense table.
Laifu could move, so what about Jing Liu Grandma?
The Jing Liu statue remained motionless, showing no reaction to her gaze.
Gu Yu sighed in disappointment.
It seemed it wouldn't work.
Is it because Jing Liu is just a virtual game character, while the big yellow dog was a truly existing living being?
Also, the mastermind who hired assassins to kill her, this threat must be eliminated as soon as possible.
The USB drive found in the assassin group's safe only contained one name—Mr. Wu.
The other party placed the order through the dark web, being very generous, giving a deposit of ten million right from the start.
Instead of letting the middleman earn a difference, why not give the money to me? I'll show you a performance of me killing myself.
Gu Yu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
With power in hand, no matter who the enemy is, one can be fearless.
There's one character slot left in the template, who would be suitable to mold this time?
Acheron?
…
Gu Yu lay on a crescent moon, one leg hanging naturally, her toes touching the lake surface below.
She had turned into Jing Liu again.
Restless little hands reached out from the deep lake, grasping her ankles, climbing onto her body.
Whispers and murmurs entered her ears.
“Useless, you can’t do anything.”
“If only I had been faster, just a little faster back then…”
“Admit it, your incompetence.”
“You can’t do anything!”
Catching the keywords, Gu Yu subconsciously replied, “Password correct, server error.”
Magic Yin Body little hands: “?”
In an instant, the world underwent an earth-shattering change, and the smell of blood permeated her nose.
“Death… is coming!”
The black-haired man, with his scarlet eyes, performed a jumping slash that bloomed into crimson spider lilies.
Gu Yu was too slow to dodge and was cut into pieces.
Gu Yu: ?
The surrounding world once again changed like a revolving lantern—
“Master, with this one move… I shall repay your kindness for teaching me!”
A golden Divine General, larger than a planet, swung a great saber down at her.
Gu Yu: • ᷄ ᯅ • ᷅
No, buddy?!
The world changed again, various powerful enemies Gu Yu had seen and hadn't seen flashed by, finally stopping at a bloody, chaotic battlefield.
In an ocean of countless corpses and the wreckage of star-faring beasts.
Various plants took root and sprouted among the countless remains, transforming the bloody and terrifying battlefield into a vibrant botanical garden.
“Hairless ape, how dare you think you can defeat me?!”
The white-furred Netherworld Troopers' chieftain roared and lunged at her.
Holy crap, Hu Lei!
I'm fighting Hu Lei? Is this real?
Will I win?
Definitely dead.
Gu Yu barely parried one attack with her sword before being killed by Hu Lei's changing move, a sweeping slash.
Before dying, she gave Hu Lei the middle finger: “Old geezer, who are you calling an ape?!”
Her consciousness plunged back to reality.
In the darkness, Gu Yu suddenly opened her eyes.
Her heart pounded, and her emotions were like a drop of water thrown into hot oil, crackling and splattering everywhere.
Damn it, my Magic Yin Body is acting up.
The palm-sized Laifu whimpered and licked Gu Yu’s cheek, seemingly comforting his owner.
“Don’t run onto my bed, or I might accidentally crush you when I’m asleep.”
Gu Yu reached out and poked the dog’s head, her emotions calming down significantly.
Dogs truly are the best therapists for mental illness.
This incident gave her a warning.
It seems I need to be careful when making statues in the future, otherwise, the after-effects will be too great, and I might accidentally kill myself.
Thankfully, due to a lack of materials, I didn’t immediately mold Acheron, otherwise, the Nihility buff from the Self-Annihilator alone could have turned her into a puddle of still water.
From the current experience, after using a character template from a statue, some of the other party’s memories or physical states will remain on the body.
Therefore, for the second template, when choosing a character, she should try to skip over the grandmas who look young and pretty but are actually thousands or tens of thousands of years old, each older than the last.
Young, preferably with a simple and pure life.
It’s best to choose humans, so their values align.
Skip those with multiple personalities and mental illnesses, and also skip those associated with Stellaron, Evil Gods, or the Will of Honkai.
Powerful, at least enough to allow Gu Yu to survive in a perilous environment.
Gu Yu’s preferred characters… more precisely, characters she “loves” and can put her whole heart and soul into creating…
After considering several conditions, Gu Yu despairingly realized she had almost no choice.
Because her preferences were simple and pure.
She just liked the older ones, souls that had been refined by time.
In her eyes, young girls who hadn't experienced hardships lacked charm; she liked them, but didn't adore them.
“The Dimensional War ended two hundred and eight years ago, but its impact on the world still remains.
From Australia, still covered in lava, to the Korean Peninsula, which has become a headless tiger, and Honshu and Shikoku, which have become dead lands…”
