Chapter 18: Highest Level Character Template

The Moon God’s old physical body vanished, and her soul entered the reshaped God-Slayer Automaton.

“A long-lost feeling…”

The reborn Moon God’s expression grew extremely excited.

The condensed aura gradually weakened, and the Moon God’s originally excited expression suddenly froze.

“What’s wrong? Why is my power…”

She suddenly discovered that her power had stopped rising once it reached Tier 3.

She turned to look at Qin Yu, wanting to ask what was going on.

“Lady Moon God, everything is about equivalent exchange; I saved your life, after all—the life of a Tier 10 god…”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Yu smiled slightly. “From now on, Lady Moon God, you are my automaton.”

The Moon God’s eyes widened; the joy of escaping death was instantly washed away by more than half. She had been too careless.

Fear of death had triumphed over her reason.

“No. A mere human actually wants to enslave me!”

Unwilling to yield, the Moon God wanted to strike Qin Yu directly to kill him; Yin Feixue prepared to step forward to help, but after only a few steps, the Moon God suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

A collar-like object appeared around her neck.

“Why is it like this…”

Looking at her paralyzed body and the humiliating collar, the Moon God felt that she would rather die.

“Your strength is linked to mine. My current strength is Tier 0, so you can only possess Tier 3 strength…”

This was a restriction set in place to prevent alchemists from being unable to control their automatons; the difference in strength between an automaton and its alchemist could not exceed three tiers.

Qin Yu walked over to the collapsed Moon God and squatted down.

“The high and mighty Lady Moon God is now a toy in my hands. There are many restrictions placed upon your body. I hope you won’t try anything foolish, otherwise triggering those restrictions will be very painful…”

Resentful, the Moon God could only turn her face away, trying her best not to look at Qin Yu. Yin Feixue, standing by the side, witnessed another side of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu pulled the Moon God up.

She was now facing a situation similar to Yin Feixue’s; her originally voluptuous body had become petite, turning from a mature woman into a little girl—one in red, and one in blue.

“Don’t touch me!”

The Moon God did not want Qin Yu to touch her; although this human was not strong, he was more dangerous than the Evil Gods.

[Congratulations! You have taken the Moon God: Luna as your combat automaton!]

[Name: Luna]

[Identity: Moon God]

[Strength: Tier 3]

[Aptitude: 10]

[Destined Relic: Azure Moon (Gold, Divine Artifact)]

[Affinity: -99999999]

[Master: Qin Yu]

‘What am I supposed to do with this affinity…’

Given Qin Yu’s villainous speech just now, Moon God Luna’s affinity had directly broken past the -100 limit; trying to redeem it seemed a bit difficult.

However, that wasn’t a problem either; at worst, he would just let things slide and turn the Moon God into a case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Qin Yu held no positive feelings toward these high-and-mighty gods.

Below the gods, all are ants.

They had never looked upon weak creatures like Qin Yu with any regard, so why should Qin Yu regard them?

“Servant, your performance just now was a bit terrifying,” Yin Feixue floated over and said.

“Is that so? But I think I’m very kind~”

Saying this, Qin Yu put on a smiling expression. He indeed looked harmless, but Luna only felt a chill down her spine.

“Since that girl is your servant, does that mean she’s my servant too?”

A servant of a servant is just her own servant, right? That was how Yin Feixue understood it.

“Of course. But be a bit gentle with her, Xiao Xue. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am.”

Naturally, Luna heard the conversation between the two.

If looks could kill, her eyes would have already killed this pair ten thousand times over.

This time, Qin Yu’s trip to the Blood Soul Realm could be described as a complete success.

He dared to say that no single person could compare to his harvest in the Divine Realms.

Whether in his past life or the present, even combined, they wouldn’t necessarily compare to him now.

He had whisked away a future leader of the vampires and a native god of the Blood Soul Realm.

The resources and building blueprints went without saying; Qin Yu had truly taken off right from the start.

“We’ll say goodbye to the children at the monastery and then immediately head to the main world continent to find a place to establish a territory.”

Qin Yu already had a rough outline for his future plans.

“Lord, please be sure to uphold your promise!”

The beastman girl, Hong, looked at Qin Yu with pleading eyes; not just her, but the remaining forty-nine children as well.

They all wanted to leave this den of vice.

They could live in peace now only because of the players’ trial period, which suppressed the power of the Evil Gods’ factions; once the trial period was over, these children would have to live a displaced life again.

“I definitely will. This is my promise to you.”

Qin Yu smiled and patted Hong on the head.

This girl’s affinity for Qin Yu had already surpassed Yin Feixue’s.

It had to be said that children were simply pure.

Bidding a brief farewell to the children, Qin Yu also chose to end his trial period in the Blood Soul Realm.

[Do you wish to leave the Divine Realm early?]

[Warning: The safer Divine Realms can only be entered during the first seven days of the launch. Once you leave early, you cannot return!]

“Yes!”

Qin Yu chose “Yes.”

[Evaluation Rank: SSS]

The system’s final evaluation of Qin Yu was the highest rank: SSS.

“An SSS-rank template, which means an aptitude of… 9.”

Now, it could be described as a double blessing.

After Tier 7, every increase required a massive amount of wealth and resources.

If aptitude wasn’t enough, one would also have to search for items to increase it, which was time-consuming and laborious.

Having directly obtained an aptitude of 9, Qin Yu only needed to search for the final item to break through to Godhood.

He happened to know where that item was, though he couldn’t get it just yet, so there was no rush.

Aside from this aptitude, there was another thing within Qin Yu’s expectations.

Grandmaster-level swordsmanship.

His understanding of swordsmanship from his previous life was completely retained.

Although Qin Yu’s current strength was still very weak, his sword skills were definitely at a level that could contend with a Sword Saint.

Qin Yu, along with Yin Feixue and Luna, was teleported out of the Blood Soul Realm, heading to the main world continent.

“Did they leave?”

A hidden silhouette appeared.

“What on earth is the connection between this man and the Dark Night Sword Saint? Is he really a disciple?”

“And who was the girl he brought out from the Blood Moon?”

“Was it the Moon God?”

“……”

Faced with question after question, the silhouette also crushed a scroll and left the Blood Soul Realm…
