Chapter 1329: Chapter 881: God of Constructs

Kana had just teleported to the entrance of the palace when he saw a God standing quietly in the garden.

Following the Divine Power fluctuations radiating outward, Kana immediately determined who the visitor was.

The visitor was none other than Luminar · Crystal Core—one of the Six Gods of Star Ring City, the "Prismatic Enlightening Wise Man."

Kana looked toward this God.

This might be the first God of Medium Divine Power he had ever seen.

The other was maintaining a divine posture.

His form was entirely constructed from pure crystal; his head was a finely carved faceless crystal, its top inlaid with a simple Crystal Crown whose edges flowed with metallic lines like liquid Gold, resembling embedded rivers of gold.

Light flowed within the crystal body, at times refracting into prismatic spectra of Order, proclaiming his Authority over light and crystal.

As the God of Mechanical Bodies, his form transcended normal Life forms.

Besides a pair of humanoid crystal arms hanging naturally at his sides, two additional crystal arms floated behind him, the four arms each wielding a tool of Divine Artifact Level.

A crystal chisel engraved with spatial gradations, a rune-engraving pen that could weave energy circuits, a prismatic gauge capable of analyzing the essence of matter, and a miniature balance scale for Elemental Power.

Each piece emitted faint Rule fluctuations, hinting at its supreme authority in the creation of Mechanical Bodies.

Luminar slightly bowed with a peaceful bearing; his voice was as clear as clashing crystal, yet without the slightest arrogance: "Friend of Order, forgive my unannounced visit. Your Order brand shines like a newborn star, making it impossible for me to ignore."

He paused for a moment, light flickering and flowing within the crystal of his head.

"I perceive resonance on the level of Rules. As the bearer of Authority over Mechanical Bodies, I seldom encounter holders of kindred branches—especially in the Domain of ’Puppet.’

"Your Power and the name ’Blood Silver Savior’ already proclaim that you are a natural embodiment of Order, pure and unyielding. My coming here is driven only by curiosity; I hope you will forgive my abruptness."

He opened with a full round of praise.

Clearly, at the very least, the other did not come bearing any obvious malice.

Moreover, if he had come with ill intent, there would have been no need to act so courteously.

After all, the difference in strength between Kana and the other was fairly evident.

Such a polite statement already showed that he did not wish to become hostile with Kana, nor did he want Kana to misunderstand.

As for this so‑called connection of Rules—

All things and Rules have their connections, and there are higher and lower ranks, as well as various branching Categories.

And the other was the God of Mechanical Bodies; so‑called Mechanical Bodies are alternate existences manufactured by Life with various materials.

Life creating Life, most of it non‑flesh in nature.

The one who holds this Authority is the first Mechanical Body in the entire Star Realm to possess wisdom.

And Kana possessed the Rule of Puppet.

Puppet is an extension of the other’s Mechanical Body Rule, falling within the scope encompassed by his Authority.

Furthermore, the other stands as the higher tier of Kana’s own Rule.

If a battle were to occur between them, the Puppet-related Rules on Kana’s side would be unable to take effect in the face of the other.

This is the suppression of Rule, Authority, and the relationship between branch and core.

Kana inclined his head in return, Order divinity flowing naturally, blood‑silver traces gleaming faintly amidst his silver hair.

As a courtesy, he slightly revealed his divine posture, though not in full.

For the most part, he simply let his Divine Power show, as a basis for communication.

"You overpraise me, Lord Luminar. The great works of Star Ring City inspire my respect; it is an honor to converse with you."

His tone was candid, without the timidity of a newly ascended God.

He gave a brief account of the origin of this Rule of his.

"The resonance you perceived arises from one of my fundamental Rules: Puppet. Before my ascension, I often used Alchemy to carve puppets, regarding them as miniature mirrors of Rule and Life."

Having spoken, Kana raised his right hand slightly; silver metallic liquid seeped out from the Void, gathering like living quicksilver.

His left hand drew forth blood‑colored energy—the primordial Power of the Blood Silver Savior—interweaving into a complex Rune Chain.

In the span of an instant, an Angel Puppet just over a foot tall emerged, floating.

Silver wings rippled with flowing radiance, blood‑red eyes contained Order divinity, and its joints were as intricately lifelike as those of a living being; every inch of its structure echoed the core laws of Mechanical Bodies.

The light within the crystal of Luminar’s head flared suddenly bright, and the tools on his four arms trembled silently.

He stepped forward, the prismatic gauge automatically suspending itself above the Angel Puppet, analyzing its structure.

"An exquisite construct... You have fused the spiritual essence of Life with mechanical precision, and with mere Weak Divine Power you have actually brushed against the threshold of ’Soul Infusion’ for Mechanical Bodies."

Curiosity and admiration manifested on his faceless crystal as a single dazzling streak of light.

The emotional cadence in his words was unmistakably clear.

It seemed he truly was meeting a fellow enthusiast among the Gods for the first time, hence his boldness in coming to make Kana’s acquaintance.

Hearing his words, Kana himself was somewhat surprised.

He had produced such a puppet out of habit, yet as a pinnacle existence upon this path—

The other had seen at a glance that this puppet had been given a certain measure of soul.

This indicated that Kana also held Rules related to souls; and judging from the proficiency with which he endowed puppets with souls, it was certain that, to some extent, even before becoming a God, Kana had already been conducting relevant research and attained some achievements.

Coupled with the puppet’s flawless construction, this particular craft of Kana’s directly increased the other’s favor toward him.

He was regarded as a like‑minded companion.

Starlike radiance flowed within the crystal of Luminar’s head, the four tools around him hovering in stillness, while the probes of the prismatic gauge projected a fine golden mesh of light at the joints of the Angel Puppet.
