Cough cough—
Elder Dugu lightly coughed twice, composed himself, and then continued:
"But later, during my closed-door cultivation, I inadvertently thought of this segment and only then realized that the Heavenly Dao never had a process to select powerful puppets!"
"On the contrary... hmm, it seemed rather affectionate in protecting Yang Yan! Yang Yan, am I correct?"
When Elder Dugu spoke these words, he stared at Yang Yan intently, as if he wanted to see through his flesh and glimpse his soul.
Yang Yan's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
Celestial Dao Puppets, even if they are mere puppets, are not roles that small fry can assume.
They naturally have manifold checkpoints laid down by the Heavenly Dao for self-selection.
Then why was he directly granted such protection and allowed to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao?
It was because the Heavenly Dao was willing to sacrifice.
There was only one reason, he possessed the Flawless Divine Body!
