The Flower God's clone could absorb the Spirit-attracting Incense to stabilize the Divine Soul while waking up and conversing with them.
Since taking over the gang from his forefathers and becoming the new puppet of the Flower God, for over a decade, these seven people had awakened the Flower God's clone this way every time without any problems.
Normally, the Flower God's clone would also absorb some Spirit-attracting Incense to stabilize the Divine Soul before revealing the Soul Body to meet them.
But today, why was it different?
The sensation was like... a Hungry Ghost being reincarnated? Frantically absorbing the Spirit-attracting Incense, and moreover, not showing itself.
However, since they were the puppets of the Flower God, subconsciously, they could sense the Flower God's clone and after carefully discerning for a while, they could confirm that the person before them was indeed the Flower God's clone.
But what... what exactly was going on?
Why was today's Flower God's clone so gluttonous?
As they thought this, the seven people patiently waited for the "Flower God's clone" to finish absorbing the incense.
They felt that the Flower God's clone was probably "hungry," thus in a rush to absorb the incense.
After it finished absorbing, it would come out and meet with them.
Soon, one stick of incense was completely absorbed. The seven people patiently awaited the appearance of the Flower God's clone.
Moments later, the familiar voice of the Flower God suddenly rang out in their ears, "Bring another one."
The seven people: ???
Although the voice of the Flower God was familiar, they had never heard these words before.
But the Flower God was still the Flower God, the sovereign controlling their life and death.
Since the deity had spoken, they certainly did not dare to neglect it, so the square-faced man hurriedly fumbled for a new stick of incense and lit it.
In this way, after lighting six or seven sticks, "the Flower God" finally no longer asked for incense.
But, they wouldn't speak again...
Faced with this abnormal situation, the seven of them looked at each other, uncertain what the anomaly today implied.
Had the Flower God become different from before?
Or had it been affected by the recent drastic changes?
After a moment, the short-haired woman asked softly, "My lord... should be fine, right?"
Hearing her words, the other six people pondered for a while. Shortly after, the square-faced man spoke up, "Should be fine."
He slowly said, "Our lord 'can eat and drink,' what could be wrong?"
Hearing his words, the short-haired woman shook her head and said, "You can't say that."
"How do you explain the missing 'Qin 28'? And how do you explain the violent storms throughout the Flower God's Private Garden and the Emerald City's Mysterious Realm? How about the sudden alarm we received?"
Saying this, she paused and then continued, "Furthermore, don't forget. I saw from the surveillance that someone entered the garden."
"But that person disappeared."
Hearing the woman's words, the other six people contemplated for a while.
After a moment, the tall man slowly began to speak, "Now, with the Flower God still not appearing and only requesting Soul Benefiting Incense from us, this could likely be a signal."
He analyzed, "This suggests that our lord might have gotten injured during the recent conflict."
"As for the person who entered the garden earlier, it's very likely that this was the person who injured our lord."
"Regarding 'Qin 28,' there are two possibilities."
"One is that the Flower God used it to heal."
"The other is that it was taken by the person who attacked our lord."
"Moreover, expanding further, she might have attacked our lord specifically for 'Qin 28.'"
"And the lord here, being only an underdeveloped clone, likely couldn't prevent her from taking the 'Qin 28.'"
Having said this, the tall man paused, then added, "The current priority is to facilitate our lord's healing as quickly as possible."
"We must also immediately lock down the Mysterious Garden, prohibit the use of Spatial Ability, and prevent anyone else from harboring ill intentions towards our lord."
"And we, should have one person on duty here every day to protect our lord."
"This year is the last Flower Morning Festival. Our lord is about to descend to the Real World. We can't afford any mistakes."
Hearing the tall man's words, the other six people nodded their heads in agreement.
Just then, as they were about to leave the garden to prepare 'Qin 28,' the voice of "the Flower God" once again resounded in their minds, "Bring more 'Qin 28.'"
The seven people:.....
As the seven people left the garden to prepare 'Qin 28,' Fang Ze, who had listened to their entire conversation, also couldn't help but start pondering.
Initially, Fang Ze had planned on deceiving these seven people to gather some intelligence and benefits before quietly leaving the Flower God's Private Garden and escaping far away with 'Qin 28.'
But..... after hearing the discussion of these seven people, Fang Ze suddenly realized he didn't need to hurry away.
Now as "the Flower God," he held a revered status and could demand whatever he wanted directly. How wonderful was that?!
And these puppeteers controlling the seven gangs, even if they harbored doubts or confusion, dared not defy him and could only silently comply.
In half a month, how many benefits could Fang Ze gain?
However, in comparison, if Fang Ze wanted to leave now, it would be very troublesome.
Since Fang Ze had triggered the alarm, the leaders of the seven gangs had already locked down the space, making every one of them take turns "protecting" Fang Ze.
It would be very difficult for Fang Ze to leave directly.
And considering that the Flower God could only remotely scold him without informing these seven puppeteers, Fang Ze thought this likely meant that the Flower God didn't have direct means to contact the Real World.
