Seeing that Puppet Life was dead, Mu Yang first canceled his talent's borrowed power state, then recalled the Lieyang Power into his body to calm (suppress) the surging Blood Sun power within him.
He used his talent in battle, but he did not use it on the sun or light in this fairy tale; instead, he used it on himself.
This idea was first conceived in the Trial Field, and Mu Yang had even practiced it, confirming its feasibility, but the Solar Power was insufficient, not enough to make his talent react.
However, Blood Sun can infect life and power, and Mu Yang's "Blood Sun Scorching Sun" skill can absorb negative energy to strengthen the Blood Sun.
Simply put, Mu Yang uses Blood Sun to infect the energy of other creatures, then uses a skill to devour that energy to enhance the Blood Sun.
Then, all the energy is converted into Blood Sun power, allowing him to be like the sun, enabling his talent to react to him, and then using his talent on himself.
He borrowed his own power, and what he borrowed was the portion of Blood Sun power that had not been activated, thus achieving the effect of lifting himself by his bootstraps.
Among them, there was also the help of the fairy tale protagonist—Little Red Riding Hood.
Now it seems this idea was very good and quite successful.
But unfortunately, this move required a lot of energy; if he could use it anytime, anywhere, he estimated he would be able to run rampant in the first tier.
Hint: You have completely killed the Aberrant Emotion Collective · Puppet Life, completing the hidden quest: Saving the Fairy Tale.
You have gained 2 attribute points, 2 soul crystal (small), and the title reward will be issued after this fairy tale event is completed.
Descending from the sky, Mu Yang felt a bit mentally exhausted, but he did not show it.
After all, he was not the only Contractor present; if he showed fatigue, there was no guarantee that some brainless person wouldn't rush up trying to snatch the treasure chest.
He didn't want to waste energy and time on these weaklings; the returns were too low, and he might also attract stronger foes after dealing with the weaker ones, a plot he disliked.
But clearly, his performance just now was enough to deter everyone; the three Contractors who were still alive were all sincerely convinced by him and dared not make any disrespectful moves.
"Big Brother, are you alright?"
Little Red Riding Hood stepped forward to ask, her tone full of gratitude and concern.
"I'm fine."
Saying that, Mu Yang glanced at his health, which was still around 50%.
Of the lost health, 20% was caused by Puppet Life's skills, and the remaining 30% was caused by the backlash when Lieyang Power suppressed the Blood Sun fluctuations.
He took out a bowl of [Chili Fried Pork with Rice] from his storage space, recovering health while also filling his stomach.
Mu Yang still felt Lieyang and Blood Sun fighting intensely, but this pain didn't affect his actions because he was already used to it.
"Let my grandma take a look; she's a forest witch and used to treat people often."
Under Little Red Riding Hood's persistent persuasion, Mu Yang agreed.
Coincidentally, there was also a side quest to visit relatives that hadn't been completed, so he could do it at the same time.
The Contractors who had returned to human form slowly followed behind the two, and at Mu Yang's inquiry, they concisely answered his questions.
It turned out that all creatures entering the forest would undergo an intelligence attribute judgment; if the judgment failed, they would be controlled by Puppet Life and perform one "Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf" story after another.
During this process, Puppet Life's power would be continuously worn down until the Contractors could escape by willpower and begin to find ways to resist and escape.
And the prerequisite for all this was that the creature did not lose itself in the performance.
And these three Contractors were all people with relatively strong willpower who had not lost themselves in the performance.
Out of pity and necessity, Little Red Riding Hood, as the original story's protagonist, took them in and disguised them as hunting dogs to deceive Puppet Life's perception.
As for the remaining Contractors with weak willpower, they had already lost themselves before Little Red Riding Hood discovered them, becoming part of Puppet Life, and most likely died in the battle just now.
Mu Yang's intelligence judgment passed, so he was not controlled but participated in the performance with a special identity.
If he had kept repeating the performance without finding the key to breaking the situation, there was a high probability he would also become addicted or even lost.
But what Puppet Life didn't expect was that Mu Yang didn't like playing puzzle games, so he directly flipped the table and used power to show it what the truth was.
Now that Puppet Life was dead, the main quest naturally had no difficulty; continuing to follow Little Red Riding Hood would complete the ending of this fairy tale event.
Walking on the small stone path leading to the treehouse, a Big Bad Wolf darted out, speaking in human tongue:
"Little Red Riding Hood, where are you going?"
"I'm taking Big Brother to visit Grandma; Mr. Big Bad Wolf, would you like to come along?"
Little Red Riding Hood "supported" Mu Yang with one hand and greeted the Big Bad Wolf with the other.
"I just picked some fresh flowers; let's go together."
The Big Bad Wolf waved the fresh flowers in his hand, then joined the group, walking beside the five people.
Just before reaching the treehouse, the hunter and his hunting dogs ran out from behind a large tree, looking at Mu Yang, Little Red Riding Hood, and the others, and exclaimed:
"Little Red Riding Hood, visiting Grandma again? How filial!"
"Yes, Uncle Hunter, would you like to come along?"
"Sure, I just hunted a wild boar; let's go together."
The group visiting Little Red Riding Hood's grandma gained another person.
Finally, six people and one wolf arrived in front of the treehouse.
Little Red Riding Hood's grandma was sitting in a lounge chair basking in the sun; upon seeing Little Red Riding Hood, she happily stood up and embraced her.
At this time, the sun was bright, the sunlight was warm, and the forest was peaceful.
